Chapter 45 The Impact of the Trailer

In Dai Anmin's home, he was lying in front of his desk reading documents. The mobile phone on the table rang. Unexpectedly, Wang Cheng called him and asked him to watch the trailer of Songjiang Satellite TV's Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

Dai Anmin came to the living room, turned on the TV and transferred to Songjiang Satellite TV. It's 7:50 p.m., and it's not yet time for the film and television theater. The film and television drama will not start until 8 o'clock. There are boring advertisements on TV.

Dai Anmin does not live with his parents, but lives alone in a mansion. He sat on the sofa without any impatience. He closed his eyes and kept tapping the coffee table next to him with the index finger of his right hand.

A melodious music suddenly came from the TV. He opened his eyes and saw Xiao Feng, played by Ji Liancheng walking in the wind and snow of Changbai Mountain with A Zi on the screen. As soon as the picture turned, a gorgeous tiger suddenly rushed out of the screen. Dai Anmin, who roared and scared him, was shocked, but his face was no different.

Xiao Feng took two steps on TV and grabbed the tiger's tail. The tiger rushed forward and flew straight into the air. After landing, he became a general of Liao to lead thousands of cavalry to charge. The banners flew, knives and guns were like a forest, and the dust head rose several feet high, like yellow clouds pouring to the ground...

The one-and-a-half trailer was released soon. At this time, his mobile phone rang again, or Wang Cheng, asked Dai Anmin, "Boss Dai, how did you see their trailer?"

Dai Anmin said calmly, "It's not bad. Whether it's a tiger fight or a cavalry confrontation, it's a first-class level."

Wang Cheng hummed, "What's wrong? It's so good! Compared with his lens, the previous ancient costume war films in China are all rubbish.

Wang Cheng has always liked to talk wildly, but this time he praised the trailer of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils for another reason. He is the screenwriter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although he is not often in the crew, he often goes to see the effects. Unfortunately, he can't meet his expectations, which makes him very sorry.

While staying at home to write the manuscript, he accidentally saw the trailer of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. After waiting for a while to find that it was actually a rolling broadcast, he called Dai Anmin to watch it. His idea is that a martial arts film can make war scenes so domineering. There is no reason for Romance of the Three Kingdoms to shoot worse than this. I hope that Dai Anmin can urge the crew to work harder on war scenes and perfectly show all the wars he wrote.

Dai Anmin couldn't see his little thought, smiled contemptuously, and then said, "Our great writer Wang, I know you are dissatisfied with the sample film made by the current crew and failed to show all the scenes you wrote. But in fact, the effect is better than the previous costume war films. Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is just a martial arts film, and the war drama is only a small part of it. They can make great efforts to shoot a war scene, but if we shoot it at that level, the production funding will be an astronomical figure. Of course, I will also urge the crew to choose one or two battles and shoot them well.

Although Wang Cheng is still dissatisfied, it is not easy to say anything. He is just arrogant, not the truth. Dai Anmin explained so patiently that no matter how wordy he was, he didn't know the current affairs. The two of them said a few more words and died.

After hanging up the phone, Dai Anmin fell into meditation. When "Tianlong Babu" was serialized with less than 200,000 words, he was very optimistic. Unfortunately, he was not Jin Yutang and did not have the opportunity to read Zhang Duo's manuscript. Although I was very optimistic about that novel at the beginning, I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect that Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils was so popular with a wonderful story and an update of 10,000 words every day, and even the TV series was shot so fast. It may be broadcast at the same time as Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the future to compete for ratings. Although the amount of investment and the media channels played are not the same, anything can happen in the film and television industry. It is not without the counterattack of small investment dark horses; large-scale productions also happen from time to time. The actors they ordered before didn't have any impact. It seems that they can't wait to look at it!

At this moment, the people who saw this trailer are far more than Dai Anmin and others. Countless readers who like Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, either accidentally saw it or after being summoned by friends, sat in front of the TV and endured boring advertisements just to watch this trailer for only one and a half minutes.

Li Junhao is a brain-damaged fan of Meng Nanxing. At this time, he was playing cards at a friend's house. Hearing that Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils had released a trailer, he put down the poker in his hand and went to the living room to watch the TV. When the trailer came, he was so excited that he couldn'tcontrol himself. Because the novel has just been serialized to Xiao Feng to help Yelu Hongji calm down the "King of Chu Rebellion" and was awarded the title of King of the Southern Academy, now the trailer of this paragraph has been released, which is really a great thing for him. Many novels say that they should be made into movies or TV series as soon as possible, but often for several years, the previous life's "Jing Dynasty" is a good example, which is too painful for favorite book fans.

However, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is much better. The story is wonderful, and the novel is updated quickly enough. Now even the adaptation of TV series is so fast. If Meng Nanxing's future novels are in this mode, he vows to be a brain-damaged fan of Meng Nanxing all his life.

Li Junhao was not the only one who came up with this idea this night. The idea of book fans is very simple. If you make me feel good, I will support you. You make us unhappy, and we naturally vote with our feet.

Wang Cheng has been jumping up and down recently because his popularity has continued to decline under the influence of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Although the range is not very large, the trend is very dangerous, which makes him have to put down his previous pride and patiently cooperate with Dai Anmin.

The next day, Zhang Duo drove to Jin Yuzhi's house, ready to pick her up to Bincheng, and then fly to Dali. Before the car started, he received a phone call from Jin Yutang, telling him that the scenic spot on Dali had not been negotiated and could not shoot the scene of Dali for the time being. Now he has taken the crew to Gusu and asked him to take the airport to take the flight to Gusu. The ticket has been booked by the people of Wanbang Film and Television Company and asked him to take Jin Yuzhi directly to the airport.

Although Zhang Duo was a little surprised, he didn't say much. In his opinion, the scenes of Dali and Gusu were filmed first. It's just that he didn't expect that Mr. Jin, who is well-sighted in the north, would be unfavorable when he arrived in the south.

Zhang Duo first called Qin Lan and told him that he was going to Gusu to film. Although Qin Lan was very reluctant, she did not dare to say anything to stay. She knows Zhang Duo's temper very well. She is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She can talk about small things and seems to be easy to talk about. Once she makes a decision on big things, no one can persuade her. After saying some love words to Qin Lan, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Duo drove to pick up Jin Yuzhi. Jin Yuzhi was much more polite to him, but he lost his previous closeness. He was a little more estranged in his politeness, which made him feel frustrated for a while. There was nothing to say along the way. After the two arrived in Bincheng, Zhang Duo sent her home first. There is only one nanny in her family, and her parents have gone to work. Zhang Duo sat in the living room, while Jin Yuzhi went to pack up.

After lunch, Zhang Duo received a phone call from Wu Weizhong. Because of him, Wu Weizhong has been very comfortable in the newspaper recently. President Zhou Mingde valued him very much and said many times that after the editor-in-chief Wei Zongsheng retired, he would replace him. As for Chen Wenzheng, the editor-in-chief of the domestic and international section, he has long lost his original arrogance. Seeing him very polite, I guess he is afraid that Wu Weizhong will give him small shoes after becoming the editor-in-chief!

Wu Weizhong smiled very happily on the phone and said, "A Duo, you are really amazing. Do you know that the trailer last night brought us 80,000 sales, an increase of 80,000 copies!"

Everything has a limit. When it is close to the limit, it is difficult to rise to the sky. Tianlong Babu has raised the circulation of Northeast Evening News from 1.1 million at the beginning to about 1.6 million now, which is already a miracle. It can be imagined that now it is just a trailer, which has increased the sales of 80,000 copies in an instant. If the TV series is broadcast now, the sales of newspapers are estimated to increase by 2 to 300,000 copies. Of course, that's just thinking about it. Due to distribution review and other reasons, the shooting and broadcasting mode, which is very popular in Europe, the United States and Hong Kong, cannot be implemented in the mainland. Zhang Duo's current speed is already very fast.

Zhang Duo was also very happy to hear that. He said a few modest words, Wu Weizhong said a few compliments, and the two of them hung up the phone.

At 1 p.m., the two took a taxi to the airport. After taking the plane ticket from the employees of Wanbang Film and Television Company waiting at the airport, they boarded the flight to Gusu. It took three hours to get to Gusu.

After getting off the plane, Jin Yutang came to pick up the two. Zhang Duo did not ask about Dali, Jin Yutang did not say anything, and Jin Yuzhi was even cold. All three of them were speechless and returned to the hotel in silence all the way.

Although Zhang Duo gave the crew two days off, most of those people followed the crew and no one walked around. The next day, in a villa outside Gusu City, the crew of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils began to shoot the scene where Duan Yu met Wang Yuyan for the first time at Mandala Villa.

Behind the camera, deputy director Chen Feiyang shouted, "action!"

In the lens, the long dress played by Zhang Duo is exactly the dress of Chen Haomin in Huang Rihua's version of Tianlong Babu. He turned around the bushes, and a girl in a lotus-colored gauze shirt appeared in the camera. Her face turned to the flower tree, her figure was slim, her long hair was draped in her vest, and she gently held it with a silver ribbon. It was Wang Yuyan played by Jin Yuzhi. Zhang Duo looked at Jin Yuzhi's back, bowed deeply and said, "In the next paragraph, I will meet the girl."

Wang Yuyan, played by Jin Yuzhi, stopped her left foot underground and said anangly, "A Zhu and Abi are all caused by you. I don't see men who have nothing to do with the outside." With that, he walked forward, a few twists and turns, and his body disappeared in the camellia bush.

Chen Feiyang shouted, "CUT, pass!" Then he said to Jin Yutang around him, "It's so perfect, especially the expression of the second lady. It's really in place. I was worried about the effect of the training before. Now it seems that the second lady is very talented!"

Jin Yutang said "um", but wondered in his heart, "Yuzhi has always been very close to Zhang Duo before. I'm afraid that she can't play Wang Yuyan's indifferent nature in front of Zhang Duo. Why is it suddenly so natural?" He remembered that on the way from the airport to the hotel, the two of them didn't say a word, which was completely different from usual. He said that the two would not have any conflicts! However, it just coincides with Wang Yuyan's attitude towards Duan Yu!
