Chapter 826 Global Hot Search! "Ready Player One" Officially Wrapped Up!
On August 27, the weather was clear and sunny.
In the studio of Ready Player One in the UK, all the staff were ready and preparing for the last scene.
Inside the studio, reports were heard from time to time:
"Motion capture equipment, VR headsets, virtual cameras, etc. have all been debugged."
"Members of the Industrial Light & Magic, Digital Domain, Weta Digital, Dot Digital and other team members are ready and on standby, ready to go on stage..."
"Actors, cameras, props... are all ready."
Behind the monitor, Chen Fei's eyes swept across the scene.
Looking around, all the actors were wearing costumes equipped with optical tracking markers and wearing facial capture head cameras, standing on the set, waiting for instructions.
More than ten minutes later, everything was ready!
Chen Fei picked up the megaphone from the tool box next to him, facing the shooting scene, and shouted: "Action!"
The next second, everyone on the set moved.
The last scene of "Ready Player One" is a visual and emotional carnival.
As the final climax arrives, the protagonists, wearing advanced VR equipment, step into the ultimate game level that countless players dream of.
Everything around becomes blurred, as if time and space are distorted, replaced by a fantasy world composed of countless dazzling pixels and dazzling special effects.
There are huge platforms floating in the air, connected by bridges as thin as spider webs. Each platform is like an independent castle, full of unknown challenges and opportunities.
Players run, jump, and fight on this high-altitude stage. Every action is accompanied by shocking sound effects and light and shadow changes, as if they are performing a magnificent dance with the whole world.
And behind all this, there is a deeper emotional collision.
The protagonists' eyes are shining with determination. They are not only fighting for the victory of the game, but also for the beliefs in their hearts and for protecting those precious people and things.
This emotional investment makes every shot full of power!
Monsters controlled by villains such as Mechagodzilla and Gatanjea appeared one by one and began to slaughter the whole audience. Following closely, Ultraman and Gundam were summoned by the righteous side and began to fight against them.
All members of the Marvel series appeared, "How to Train Your Dragon", "Kung Fu Panda", "Annabelle", "Joker"...
Looking around, all the characters with copyrights belonging to Walton Pictures have made a stunning appearance in this final battle.
Chen Fei even boldly pulled out all the mythological characters in the Chinese system, and had a battle between Eastern mythology and Western hell.
What kind of people, gods, demons, ghosts, monsters, vampires, werewolves, all the copyrights he could get were pulled out and walked through.
Including "Pacific Rim", "Transformers", "Star Wars", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", etc., all had a very stunning appearance in the final battle.
As for the final villain, he did not use the Mechagodzilla from the original work, but chose the more terrifying and frightening demon king in Western mythology - "Mecha Satan!"
This "Mecha Satan" was "controlled" by Leonardo. In order to show its powerful strength, Chen Fei also designed an extremely wonderful appearance for it.
As the magic door opened, the tall and dark Mechanical Satan, whose eyes seemed to be able to devour all the light, led a group of demons, roaring, waving sharp claws, and rushed towards the side of justice...
The situation on the battlefield changed, and the two sides launched a fierce confrontation. Every time the weapons crossed, there was a deafening roar!
There are spells blooming like gorgeous fireworks, and there are also invisible ghosts and gods that silently defeat one mechanical demon after another, and there are more exciting collisions between steel and steel that can trigger adrenaline surges...
Familiar "easter egg" characters continue to appear in front of the camera, and they launch fearless charges and attacks on the villain army on the other side.
The shooting lasted from day to night. With the fall of the last blow, the entire virtual world seemed to tremble for it!
The joy of victory, the tears of loss, the embrace of reunion...all the emotions converged into an unstoppable torrent at this moment, and the cheers of victory resounded throughout the audience, which was shocking!
The night gradually deepened, and in front of the monitor, Chen Fei was checking all the clips shot today frame by frame.
In the studio, everyone was on standby, ready to reshoot a certain unqualified clip or scene at any time.
Until Chen Fei raised the megaphone, everyone at the scene cast a concerned look at the same time.
The next second, his voice resounded throughout the venue:
"I declare that the film "Ready Player One" has officially finished filming!"
As soon as the words fell, the scene seemed to be lit by fireworks, lively and boiling.
Although the camera stopped rolling, it could not stop the excitement and joy in the hearts of the actors and staff.
Although the actors took off the equipment they were wearing, the smiles on their faces were more real and brilliant than any happy scene in the film.
The staff on the scene hugged each other, and cheers came one after another, as if to release all the hard work and pressure of the past few months.
Chen Fei stood in the crowd, his eyes flashing with satisfaction and pride.
It took three months, and this work, which brought together countless film copyrights and countless people's efforts, was finally completed!
There were bouquets and champagne to celebrate the completion of the filming, and ribbons were flying in the air, like celebrating elves.
The actors gathered together and toasted together to celebrate, and the champagne splashed in the collision, just like the embodiment of everyone's joy.
At this moment, both the leading actors and the behind-the-scenes staff felt unprecedented unity and sense of accomplishment.
They not only completed the filming of a movie, but also experienced an unforgettable journey of life together, and the excitement and boiling of the completion scene was like the perfect ending to this journey.
…
Every big-budget movie startup, shutdown, or even a simple transition is a piece of news that can be on the hot search for the media.
The news of the completion of "Ready Player One" was like a whirlwind, and it spread to the world in an instant.
The major domestic entertainment news websites, social media, Weibo, etc. were dominated by related news at the first time!
"Produced by Walton Pictures, directed by Chen Fei, starring Leonardo Dicaprio, Timothée Chalamet, Emma Roberts, Zendaya Coleman, Huang Jingyu, Liu Jiayi and others, the $350 million sci-fi adventure film "Ready Player One" was officially announced to be completed today!"
"According to people familiar with the matter, "Ready Player One" brings together hundreds of movies and thousands of game Easter eggs, using the world's top VR equipment, cameras, special effects equipment, as well as Industrial Light & Magic, Digital Domain, Digital Domain, Weta Digital and other special effects companies. "
"At the wrap-up press conference, director Chen Fei revealed that the entire film "Ready Player One" is expected to have more than 500 special effects shots, and the special effects alone cost up to 200 million US dollars! "
"Due to the extremely heavy special effects work, the finished film "Ready Player One" is expected to be officially released in theaters next year. Fans from all over the world are welcome to come to the cinema to find Easter eggs. "
"Chen Fei: This movie will be a "top feast" for fans and gamers all over the world. "
Along with the relevant reports, there are also many wonderful clips, trailers, advance trailers, promotional posters, etc. of the movie.
The appearance of these trailers has greatly satisfied the curiosity of fans and netizens around the world, and also triggered a large-scale heated discussion!
"Oh my God! In a clip of less than 30 seconds, I actually saw no less than 20 Easter eggs such as "The Shining", "Annabelle", "It", "The Witches", etc. This is simply a carnival summer for horror movie fans!"
"Oh! In that blink of an eye, I seemed to see all the members of the Marvel comics series. Am I dazzled?"
"Godzilla? Gatanyur? Gundam? Tiga? No way! Am I dazzled?"
"Hey! Brothers, why do I seem to see Sun Wukong and Nezha in the movie promotional clip? And what is that Tathagata Palm?"
"Who is the villain? Why did it just flash by? At least let everyone see the whole picture? But the big mechanical wings are really cool!"
...
Looking at the "global hot search" that he operated by himself, Chen Fei smiled with satisfaction while sitting on the plane to New York.
In the next period of time, taking advantage of the post-production stage of the movie, he will continue to invest more publicity funds in it to achieve the purpose of maintaining the popularity.
The saying that good wine needs no bush is outdated and is not suitable for the film industry.
Only by maintaining high popularity, high exposure and high attention at all times can the box office of the film be maintained after its final release.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the quality of the film itself cannot be too bad.
In this regard, Chen Fei is still confident.
Although the "Ready Player One" after his magic modification is already completely different from the previous work, the overall plot fluency has not been affected.
As long as the post-production is strictly controlled to ensure that those fatal mistakes are not made, Chen Fei is very confident that the box office of this movie will be pushed to the stage of "explosive sales".
At that time, the global total box office of "Avatar" will be blown up first.
The global total box office of a single movie is 2.896 billion US dollars, which has always been his goal!
…
After withdrawing his attention from the related topics of "Ready Player One", Chen Fei saw a lot of hot topics.
For example... A-shares!
Shanghai Composite Index 3153, ChiNext 2006...
Looking around, Huayi, which had already reached a market value of 90 billion, has now plummeted to 44.6 billion.
Some people even shouted the slogan of "3000-point defense" for A-shares on the Internet. It is not known whether it can be protected. Anyway, Chen Fei thinks there is no hope.
At the same time, the news in the film and television industry is constantly refreshing.
"The comedy love movie "Bride Wars" produced by Bona Film Group and starring Yang Ying, Ni Ni, Chen Xiao, Zhu Yawen and others has been released for 8 days and the box office has totaled 173 million. Due to exhaustion of potential, it has been completely removed from the theaters."
"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "Terminator: Genisys" officially took the lead in late August. After one week of release, the box office totaled 477 million."
"On the first day of its release, the box office of "The Assassin" closed at 10.94 million, with poor reputation. Compared with the large-scale premiere ceremony, the film's release effect did not meet expectations."
"Huace Films officially announced the cast of the film version of "Love O2O". Yang Ying will partner with the talented post-85s actor Jing Boran to perform a fantasy love story together."
"Due to the influence of "Bride Wars", Yang Ying's acting skills were ridiculed by the crowd. Fans of the original novel of "Love O2O" questioned her acting skills and doubted whether she could play the role of "Bei Weiwei" well?"
"The high pay of actors has caused controversy again..."
"Due to the impact of the stock market crash, the value of several celebrities, actors, and stars in Hong Kong has plummeted, and some have even gone bankrupt."
Looking at the last piece of news, Chen Fei inexplicably felt a sense of enlightenment!
No wonder! No wonder so many artists in Hong Kong have gone north recently and started to show up in major crews. It turns out that they are bankrupt!
And those singers, they hold concerts one after another, as if they will never get tired.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is probably caused by bankruptcy.
…
On the plane, Chen Fei is constantly refreshing the recent news, preparing to read all the hot topics in the circle.
After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you ensure victory in every battle.
At this time, in China, most production companies are focusing on the various publicity strategies of "Ready Player One" and the hot topics it has caused.
Alibaba Pictures.
Zhang Qi is currently convening a meeting with the project team members of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" to carefully analyze the uniqueness of the movie "Ready Player One".
"Comparatively speaking, "Ready Player One" is the one that truly fits the production strategy of "top IP + fan movie + well-known director", and it is precisely because of this that it can trigger such a huge amount of heated discussion and topic.
In the future, we must also learn this model and strive to put "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" into the audience range defined by big data, and strive to maximize the publicity effect..."
A group of people nodded and recorded Zhang Qi's words in full.
At the same time, the distribution project team of the movie "The Mermaid" on the other side was also having a similar discussion.
The project leader pointed to the projector screen and talked freely: "Director Chen Fei has said before that during the promotion of "The Mermaid", the topic of "We all owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket" can be used.
This is our trump card, because the word "feelings" can often play a huge role, thereby increasing the pre-sale box office data of the movie and getting more screenings..."
Below, a group of people headed by La Peikang, Wang Changtian, and Zhou Xingchi nodded and agreed with this point of view.
At the same time, the distributors of many movies, including "Legend of the Gods", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny", "One Thought in Heaven", "Old Cannon", "Love O2O", etc., were also having similar discussions.
…
When we landed in New York, it was already the last day of August.
After getting on the business car that came to pick him up, Chen Fei came all the way to the Red Bull studio and met a group of Red Bull staff led by Flory.
As soon as he entered the door, he received a big bear hug.
"Fei, you are finally here, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
After hugging Flory, Chen Fei looked at the other people in the studio again.
Looking around, all of them were familiar faces, who had accompanied him through the south, the north, the sea, and the sky...
He immediately smiled and shouted loudly: "Long time no see brothers, I'm hosting tonight, we won't go home until we are drunk!"
When they heard that there was wine to drink, the group of people at the scene suddenly became excited.
You know, it was Chen Fei who treated them to dinner. Whenever he made a move, he was never stingy, and this also meant that they could taste those strong liquors that they had been reluctant to spend money on in the past tonight.
After greeting everyone, Chen Fei followed Flory to his office and signed a supplementary agreement issued by Red Bull.
As Chen Fei's fame, worth, and influence grew, Red Bull paid a huge price to win him over.
The specific content of the agreement just now was that in the future, if there was a dollar of income from all Red Bull products in the Chinese region, he could enjoy a share.
Although this amount of money was not much for Chen Fei, he was naturally not stupid enough to refuse such a gift of money.
After signing the agreement, the two went to the warehouse behind the studio together.
As the locked door slowly opened, an off-road motorcycle with the Red Bull logo appeared in front of Chen Fei.
The two walked quickly to the motorcycle.
At this time, a hint of pride appeared on Flory's face, and he slowly introduced: "This off-road motorcycle is not simple. It took our entire team nearly a year of hard work to successfully forge it.
The body is equipped with a V-twin, four-stroke liquid-cooled high-performance engine, which can ensure strong power output during the posture process.
It is also equipped with the most advanced electronic throttle system and traction control system to ensure precise control and extremely optimized performance.
The frame is made of a lightweight and sturdy aluminum alloy body, which can reduce the weight of the whole vehicle while maintaining structural strength.
As for the front and rear of the frame, it is also equipped with a full hydraulic suspension system and adjustable front and rear shock absorbers to adapt to different off-road conditions and driving needs, and the high ground clearance and professional off-road chassis design can provide excellent passability and stability.
The front and rear tires are designed to be non-slip and wear-resistant, providing excellent grip, and are also equipped with a high-performance braking system, such as front double-disc brakes and rear single-disc brakes, to ensure strong braking force and quick response..."
It took more than half an hour for Flory to finally summarize the advantages of this off-road motorcycle.
And the reason why he forged such a high-performance top-level off-road motorcycle is because of Chen Fei's latest extreme sports challenge plan
-Utah Cliff Mountain Extreme Off-Road Racing!
