Developing the Northwest: I built a city in the Gobi Desert

"A Journey to the West? Is it related to Journey to the West? Has Haofang Culture released a trailer?"

Ding Xiaoping asked again gloomyly.

It is said that more than a month ago, a trailer of Legend of Sword and Fairy detonated Mingsha City, so it is not cruel.

As a result, many people in the industry are saying that they are afraid that Haofang Culture will suddenly release a trailer if they are not afraid of Mingsha City announcing the project.

"No trailer, not even a teaser! Just a brief introduction to the movie."

Bai Ming frowned and shook his head.

To be honest, he has never seen such a "dog" company.

The previous few major dramas did not even say hello before they went live, but each one was at the level of a drama. When it came to Immortal Sword, it suddenly released a trailer abnormally.

While making those audiences scream their consciences, the publicity effect is also directly full.

I thought that Haofang would definitely continue to use the fairy sword routine in the future, but he didn't expect this kind of sudden attack without saying anything this time.

Even more exasperating,

According to the information of the staff, it is precisely because of this kind of sudden attack without saying anything that the expectations of netizens and audiences have been abruptly raised to another level.

Now netizens are not only looking forward to this movie, but also looking forward to the background set up in Mingsha City,

Anyway, there is a lot of noise on the forum now.

"What did you say?"

"Haofang Culture said that the film is more than three hours long."

"That's it?"

Ding Xiaoping raised his eyebrows, and his slightly nervous expression eased a little.

"Um!"

"Since this is the case, don't worry too much."

"President, but now the news of this film and Haofang Culture's open casting is everywhere on the Internet. The limelight has already overshadowed the film festival. I'm worried that it will be fermented for a few more days."

Bai Ming looked worried.

Haofang Culture's choice of this time point is really terrible. Moreover, there have been no other blockbuster movies released in the past two days, and now the big talk of Journey to the West comes out. The filming rate can be imagined.

"It doesn't matter, only those foreign blockbusters can stand up to a three-hour movie. There are basically not many domestic movies that can be watched for three hours. And this time Xu Hao is not here, the movie is Fang Hou and a few from Mingsha City. The president made it.

Can't handle Xu Hao, can't handle a few presidents? "

Ding Xiaoping raised his eyebrows.

When he confirmed that the Westward Journey would take three hours, his hanging heart was completely let go.

"President, then."

"Don't worry about it, follow our rhythm! Our rhythm can't be chaotic. If it is chaotic, it will make a joke over there."

"good!"

In the evening, Haishi,

Eggplant TV,

After reading the news, Cai An smiled lightly, and then looked at the channel director on the opposite side.

"How is it? Is it here?"

With the passage of time, there has been no movement on Haofang Culture, and the channel director is still wondering if the CEOs who Xu Hao is not in Mingsha City are scared.

As a result, it was time to come and finally came.

and,

The CEOs of Mingsha City chose the right time.

"Leader, it's coming. But this time the movie lasts three hours. So far, there are no good movies with a good reputation in China for three hours! Just in case this time."

While nodding, the director was a little worried.

In his opinion, in order to give this film festival an eye salve, the film must be a hit at both the word-of-mouth and box office.

With the current popularity of Haofang Culture, the pre-sale box office will definitely not be bad.

But it's hard to say whether the follow-up can be stabilized. If the word-of-mouth collapses, it will give the film festival a disguised momentum.

"Don't worry, since you dare to watch a three-hour movie over there, you must be sure."

waved his hand,

Cai An said firmly.

During this period of time, he has been paying attention to Mingsha City. The more he pays attention, the more he feels that Mingsha City is really unfathomable. And it is very likely that there will be a big game through the Cultural Expo,

Movies and TV shows or just appetizers.

"Leadership, the main thing is that Mingsha City is a little different this time."

After a pause, the channel director whispered again.

"Different? How do you say it?"

"Leader, the netizens on the Internet are already arguing. I think there is a lot of truth in what they said. The movies and dramas in Mingsha City basically serve the various characteristic ancient buildings in the scenic area.

This time, Haofang’s culture is a mythical film,

That is to say, the back view of this movie should be filmed in the Xianxia District of Mingsha City. However, according to many netizens who have just returned from traveling in Mingsha City,

When they played in the Xianxia District of Mingsha City, they didn't see the crew, nor did they see any new buildings in the Xianxia District! "

The director said again.

"Huh? There is no new background over there?"

Cai An was taken aback.

"No! It's just that a large area has been surrounded behind the Demon Locking Tower. The construction workers said that some kind of Taoist temple seems to be built. But it's just surrounded, and there is no movement inside yet."

"this"

Cai An touched his chin.

Just before the director said these words, he felt that he had grasped the context of Mingsha City and Haofang culture, but he was completely confused when he said this.

Is it possible to shoot a mythological drama in the martial arts area?

If this is the case, is it still the former Mingsha City?

"Anyway, I always feel weird this time, and now netizens and audiences have high expectations for the scenes of this mythical movie."

"Forget it, guessing now is just wild guessing. Anyway, there are only four days before the movie goes online. By the way, we also book two movie tickets, and we will know when we go to see it on the spot."

a long time,

Cai An waved his hand.

Since you are not sure about Haofang Culture's routine this time, let's just look at the result.

The results don't lie!

"Okay, leader!"

At half past seven in the evening, Yancheng,

As soon as Xu Hao returned to the Ancient Architecture Institute, he received a call from Fang Hou.

over time,

The project of repairing several courtyards in the West Sixth Palace of the Forty-Nine Imperial City has come to an end, and it will be completed by July 25th at the latest.

That time was also the time for Xu Hao to return to Mingsha City.

"Haozi, I see that there are a lot of discussions on the Internet now, do you want to explain?"

On the phone, Fang Hou's voice was a little disturbed.

This time Xu Hao was not in Mingsha City. After all, he was the one who made the project alone. While looking forward to it, he was also a little worried, especially after seeing the comments from many netizens.

He was not afraid of being scolded, but worried about smashing the brand of Haofang Culture.

"Explain? No need!"

Hearing this, Xu Hao said immediately.

He knew what Fang Hou was worried about!

It is said that this time Journey to the West is not divided into upper and lower parts like on the earth, but directly combines "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" and "Journey to the West: The Marriage of the Great Sage" perfectly together.

That's why the movie is three hours long.

more importantly,

Fang Hou would let him go through each scene after filming. Except for the scene of Pansidong, the recovery rate of other scenes, both in terms of plot and effect, was basically over 99.9%.

Plus it's summer again!

Most of the moviegoers are young people. So this movie is destined not to hit the box office like it does on Earth, and then it takes a few years to become an unsurpassed classic.

And Xu Hao didn't expect that Luo Peng and Zhu Qiang could make the scene of Pansi Cave so magical,

From this point alone,

This Journey to the West has surpassed the one on Earth.

"Haozi, really don't need it?"

After a pause, Fang Hou was still a little worried.

He really wanted to split the movie into two episodes.

"It's really unnecessary! As for the netizens who said that it is specifically for the film festival, don't bother, let alone that the launch time was originally set by us and has nothing to do with the film festival, so what if it is specifically for the film festival?

Target is also targeted! "

Xu Hao laughed.

Regarding the Directors Association, Mingsha City has long since stopped paying attention to this organization, or the two sides are no longer rivals at the same level.

If Mingsha City still takes the Directors Association as its opponent, then it will really drop in price.

"That's fine."

Hearing Xu Hao's tone, Fang Hou didn't say anything after all, and after a while he spoke again,

"By the way, Haozi, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Luo asked when will the filming location of Journey to the West officially open to tourists?"

From what Fang Hou said, it was obvious that Zhu Qiang and Luo Peng were beside him at the moment.

"Have you passed the security check of the relevant departments in the city? Especially Pansidong, this is not a traditional building."

After thinking about it, Xu Hao said again.

Regardless of how quickly everything is built in Mingsha City, in fact, none of the necessary procedures have been completed, and all the fire protection, security inspections, etc. are in line with the relevant regulations of the Dragon Kingdom.

"It's passed when the filming is over!"

Fang Hou hurriedly said.

Now Mingsha City has unknowingly become a business card of Weishi City and even Su Province. In order to let Mingsha City continue to attract customers, many units come to Mingsha City to work on site, and the speed cannot be slowed down.

"Then open the Ax Gang, Demon King's Village, and Pansi Cave simultaneously when the movie is released! But there is one thing, you must pay attention to the safety of tourists on the Pansi Cave. It is still a bit difficult for tourists to board Pansi Ridge."

After a little thought, Xu Hao made arrangements.

To be honest, the construction of the Pansi Cave this time really surprised him.

Zhu Qiang's composure, Luo Peng's brains and Fang Hou's ability to communicate with customers. This combination really helped Mingsha City a lot. In other words, without them, Mingsha City would not have the current achievements and scale.

"Um!"

"By the way, you can tell Second Sister again and ask her to sign the actor who will play the role of the Second Master in the movie. There is really nothing to say about this actor's excellent supporting role."

paused,

Xu Hao seemed to think of something before he spoke.

"Haozi, don't worry about that. The second sister has already selected someone on the crew side. In addition to the second-in-charge actor, there is also the actor who plays Tang Seng. And the second sister is still talking with the heroine."

"That's good!"

This is the reality,

The major forums on the Internet are basically talking about these things, they don't know the things behind the movie,

Anyway, the more people talk about Westward Journey, the more enthusiasm will be aroused, and the audience and netizens will want to know what kind of medicine Haofang Culture is selling in the gourd this time.

then,

The story of Journey to the West successfully hit the entertainment headlines, and even the traditional culture column of the portal website reprinted related remarks.

How could the major theaters pass up the opportunity when they saw the popularity of the film?

They don't care what the location of the movie looks like, nor do they care whether the three-hour movie audience can accept it, the box office is king!

On July 13th, according to the news released by major film studios, the filming rate on the first day of Journey to the West had reached a terrifying 35%.

And on July 14th,

The pre-sale box office of Westward Journey directly rushed to 290 million, and it was only a little bit closer to 300 million.

Such pre-sale data can already be ranked in the top ten since the pre-sale system in the history of Longguo movies, which shows how popular Westward Journey is.

time turns again,

It's already the early morning of July 15th, and the movie officially starts shooting!

Not only the audience and tourists who booked tickets in advance, Cai An and the channel director of Eggplant TV Station also walked into the cinema and sat in the viewing seats.
