Chapter 254 [Pacific Rim] First Trailer!

Xiao Le Pictures and Yinghuang simultaneously announced the reboot of the "Ip Man" series.

The happiest people are none other than the movie fans.

The visceral fight scenes make it a rare and exciting film in recent years.

Data teams have calculated the total box office revenue and overseas income of the two "Ip Man" films.

The results were the envy of other film and television companies in the industry.

It's equivalent to three or four years of their profits.

There was more to Gu Changwei's affair than I expected.

Jiang Wenli was pregnant, but after the affair was exposed, she was so angry that she didn't want the baby anymore and went to the hospital to have it removed.

She even enlisted the help of directors' wives in the industry, preparing to unite and blacklist Zhang Jingchu.

Tian Xiaole is in the post-production department of the company, preparing to edit a trailer for "Pacific Rim".

The timeframe won't be too long, and we can't reveal too much about the film, since there are still four months until its release.

But it also needs to be impactful enough to keep moviegoers engaged.

A grand spectacle is a must; it must be something that catches the eye.

It's quite difficult to strike the right balance.

Tian Xiaole felt that no matter how she edited it, the exciting scenes would still be revealed.

Finally, two clips were selected and edited into a 60-second trailer.

·······
The movie "Li Mi's Conjecture" has been released. Just as Tian Xiaole predicted, the box office on the first day was only a little over one million yuan, but the movie received high praise.

South Korean actress Choi Jin-sil committed suicide at home after suffering from depression due to long-term cyberbullying.

This incident has drawn attention to Liu Yifei among Chinese movie fans.

Over the past year, posts spreading rumors and slander against her have never stopped.

Without warning, a 60-second trailer for Pacific Rim was released online.

The direct suppression of all online news attracted the attention of the entire internet.

The entire internet exploded afterward.

Only the word "awesome" can express the netizens' feelings.

Where have domestic audiences ever seen such a scene? Is this something that only Hollywood could produce?
The first shot of the trailer is of a vast, calm sea.

Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared.

It spread instantly, like a bottomless black hole.

The surrounding seawater rushed in, and ships that were sailing normally were swallowed up.

An incredibly ugly claw emerged from the vortex, with long nails and green skin.

Immediately afterwards, a huge monster slowly emerged from the sea. Its massive head was an inverted triangle, its back was covered with sharp spikes, and its tail was thick and thin, with the end resembling a sharpened blade.

The monster's overall design is inspired by Western dragons, but also incorporates elements of Jurassic dinosaurs.

The entire monster emerged from the sea, its enormous body towering like a mountain peak.

The wings hidden beneath its abdomen unfolded, emitting a piercing scream; its massive body, blotting out the sky, exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Similar monsters kept flying out of the vortex.

The camera shifts to a ship flying the flag of an island nation on the sea, without any warning.

The monster's tail slammed down, splitting the ship in two.

This warship is an active-duty vessel of the island nation's navy, a ship with a displacement of 10,000 tons.

This shows that the power of a single strike is like that of a small high-explosive bomb.

In the trailer, the crew's terrified screams suddenly fall silent as a horde of monsters flies overhead, blotting out the sky.

In the switched perspective, the saliva spewed out by the monster in the sky instantly corroded a group of crew members.

At the end of the trailer, the island nation's coastline gradually comes into the monster's view.

The screen went black, and then a line of large characters appeared in the frame.

"—The first domestically produced science fiction film, Pacific Rim, will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

·····
In just 60 seconds, the monster's appearance displayed a powerful destructive force.

It highlights the two attack skills: strength and liquid.

It can also fly.

It is said that tigers can fly, making them the most perfect animals in the world.

The monster's design is no less impressive than that of a flying tiger, except that it's a bit ugly.

Viewers who saw the trailer were wide-eyed, despite the limited information revealed.

But the first impression was one of shock; the CG effects of the monsters created a strong sense of oppression and suffocation.

The footage of the island nation's warship being directly sunk has sent netizens into a frenzy.

I can't believe how amazing it would be to watch this movie in an IMAM theater.

The last scene of the trailer makes it obvious what will happen next.

The 60-second trailer was just released recently.

It went viral instantly, becoming a sensation across the entire internet.

Major media outlets began reposting and reporting on the film, calling it the most anticipated movie by fans, bar none. The Beijing News stated: "The special effects in the film 'Pacific Rim' are realistic, the scenes are grand, and it effectively raises the level of domestic special effects..."

Capital Evening News: "The first trailer for the domestic sci-fi disaster film, Pacific Rim, has been released, filling countless fans with anticipation."

Southern Daily: "Is the trailer for 'Pacific Rim' too targeted, and could it trigger international public opinion?"

"..."

·······
The comment section of Tian Xiaole's Weibo account was completely flooded with the word "awesome".

There were also people shouting "Daddy!" and begging for the trailer to be longer, saying things like that.

In the Huayi office, Wang Zhonglei prayed: Forget me, forget me...

It was remembered by netizens.

They dragged him out and whipped his corpse.

When Pacific Rim was looking for investors, he didn't think highly of the film and refused to invest.

Now that the trailer is out, I wonder if they're kicking themselves.

"Heh, only Hollywood can produce special effects of this level. Lionsgate sent people to assist in the production. What does it have to do with China?"

"Alright, Tian Xiaole is one of our shareholders. The better the quality of the movie, the better it is for us too."

"Ah."

Wang Zhonglei nodded expressionlessly, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

······
Now, not only movie fans and enthusiasts are going crazy, but companies and individuals involved in film and television are also in disbelief.

Is this the kind of film that can be produced domestically?
"The landscape of domestic films is about to change dramatically."

This is the first thought in the minds of many directors.

Previously, famous directors all focused on period historical films.

Now, Tian Xiaole is going straight for the high-intensity shoot, tackling the most challenging sci-fi film ever.

"Xiao Le, you're really awesome. After this movie comes out, who will dare to make a blockbuster?"

Ning Hao's envious tone could be felt even through the phone screen.

After watching the trailer, he was shocked; Tian Xiaole is awesome.

None of the directors in China can make a film like this.

This is what a commercial film should be, a domestic film that can rival Hollywood blockbusters.

"Haha, what you're saying is true. 'Pacific Rim' had a budget of 6 million yuan, so of course it can't be compared with other films."

"Stop talking, my heart is a little uncomfortable."

The highest-budget film Ning Hao has ever directed is only 30 million yuan.

His specialty, dark humor comedy, meant that the investment wouldn't be too large.

Meanwhile, the main actors watched the trailer.

The same look of shock crossed their faces.

Then came the surprise.

This film is destined to be a part of Chinese cinema.

"Sisi, have you seen the trailer? The special effects are amazing, it's a pity there aren't any scenes of the actors appearing."

"I've seen it. Senior Brother Tian has such an imagination. This movie will definitely meet the expectations of movie fans."

Liu Yifei sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a pure black kitten in her arms. Her eyes sparkled as she talked about the movie.

Remembering something, Liu Xiaoli tentatively said, "Tian has invested in Huayi. Could you ask him to lift the ban, or act as an intermediary?"

Liu Yifei thought about it and realized she was really fed up with the online harassment: "I'll ask around."

·······
"Tian Tian, ​​have you seen the trailer? This movie is sure to be a huge hit."

"Of course, the movies directed by Brother Xiao Le will be popular."

"Yep……"

Lu Zhen nodded repeatedly, not daring to refute the topic about Tian Xiaole.

He took a script out of his bag, handed it to him, and said with a smile:

"This is a project invested in by the company. It's a big-budget historical production, and you'll be playing the female lead."

Before the trailer for "Pacific Rim" was released, Lu Zhen thought it was a big production.

Looking at it now, it seems a bit undeserving of its reputation.

Jing Tian started too high, making "Pacific Rim" her very first film, which made her other films always fall short.

"Uncle Lu, can I not act? I want to improve my acting skills at school."

"School teaches theory, but on set, you can better improve your acting skills by integrating what your teachers teach you."

Moreover, this is a major production, and the actors are all highly skilled, which will be very helpful to you.

Lu Zhen patiently persuaded him.

Jing Tian eagerly flipped through the script.

She was determined to act well, at least to raise her status so that she could sit closer to him at the next awards ceremony or premiere.
