Chapter 1219 Promotional video? (Make up for yesterday
The recruitment promotional video, this matter would not have anything to do with Yang Ming at first, but now it does have a little connection.
In the past two years, several film and television productions of Oriental DreamWorks have received strong support from the newly established Publicity Office of the Ministry of National Defense for the film industry. Section Chief Liang Tianxiao of the Publicity Office has also maintained a good personal relationship with Yang Ming.
This time, Liang Tianxiao also made a phone call to test Yang Ming's tone and asked him if he was interested in making a promotional video specifically for the Recruitment Department.
On the phone, he showed no tendency to make strong demands.
With these two years of experience in the entertainment industry, Liang Tianxiao knows that for a well-known director, every filming decision must be made very carefully. If it fails, it can be said to be a loss of both fame and fortune.
Therefore, he just vaguely mentioned it to Yang Ming without saying much.
Now when Yang Ming heard Xiong Zhuang mention this matter again, he couldn't help but look serious. He narrowed his eyes and touched his chin, thinking about whether to shoot a recruitment advertisement specifically for the recruitment department.
In fact, for other directors, they may rack their brains over what kind of effect they want to shoot.
But Yang Ming didn't have such worries. The main reason was that he didn't have time.
Moreover, the recruitment advertising video was needed urgently, and it conflicted with his schedule, so it was impossible to squeeze out time to shoot this promotional video.
Just because he doesn't have time to take pictures doesn't mean that Yang Ming doesn't want to be interested.
Maybe others thought that if he decided to make this promotional video, it was to please the top officials of the government, but only he knew that the reason why he was so interested in making this promotional video was that he really sincerely wanted to make this promotional video.
The strength of China's national power in this world is worthy of Yang Ming's actions.
Yang Ming touched his chin, how about taking some time to take a photo? He thought about his recent plans and shook his head. It was obviously impossible.
Should we let other directors from the company film it?
Hmm? This seems okay?
His eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.
In fact, he has several creative ideas for classic military recruitment ads in his mind. There is no need to worry about this. The key is to find one that can help him achieve the effect he wants.
Zheng Wen?
No, this guy can be artistic and fresh, but if he wants to shoot a recruitment advertisement that makes people’s blood boil, the style is too different.
Where is Lao Chai? Yang Ming thought.
No, Lao Chai is now better at making martial arts and action films, but he may be a lot worse at making modern military wars.
How about Wang****?
Yang Ming thought about it carefully and felt that it still didn't meet his requirements.
Although Wang **** has switched from television to the big screen in recent years and has made several films with relatively good box office results, his film and television works are basically limited to urban areas. If he was filming a recruitment advertisement, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.
Produce the effect Yang Ming wants.
After much deliberation, only Bian Mingcheng might meet Yang Ming's requirements.
The more he thought about it, he felt that Bian Mingcheng was the candidate who best met his requirements.
When "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" was originally filmed, Bian Mingcheng and Mo Xiaohua were assistant directors. Although Mo Xiaohua later filmed the sequel, Bian Mingcheng also contributed a lot, and the word-of-mouth response was very good.
This sign is broken.
Later, Bian Mingcheng started making movies, and Yang Ming wrote a script "Slaying the Wolf" specifically for him, which completely produced the effect Yang Ming wanted.
And he seems to highly admire Yang Ming's philosophy of always focusing on visual effects in his films.
This is vividly reflected in "Slaying the Wolf".
Recruitment videos do not require special effects, but the impact of visual effects is a must and is the top priority.
Bian Mingcheng's style is more in line with this kind of shooting technique.
Xiong Zhuang and Zhao Sheng saw Yang Ming lost in thought, so they drank tea silently without interrupting Yang Ming's thoughts.
After a while, Yang Ming came back to his senses and said to Xiong Zhuang: "It's impossible for me to shoot this recruitment video myself, but I can come up with an idea and arrange for someone to shoot it. If it's good, it can pass the review.
, that’s even better, if they don’t like it, it doesn’t matter, they just think that we are making a contribution to the national defense cause.”
"Okay, Director Yang, you can arrange whatever you want. In fact, for them, being able to let you come up with ideas is already a great blessing." Xiong Zhuang said with a hearty smile.
He didn't say this lightly.
The longer I stay in the entertainment industry, the more I realize how valuable Yang Ming's creativity is to other companies.
Yang Ming thought for a moment and then added: "But I hope that when this promotional video is shot, it will need strong support from the military. If they cannot agree to my request, then I will not arrange for people to shoot it!"
"There shouldn't be any problem with this. Anyway, every year when we shoot recruitment advertisements, the military will give us strong support." Xiong Qiang said carelessly.
"Oh? My support is very strong, can you guarantee it?"
"Mr. Yang, don't scare me. I'm not from the Recruitment Department. I'm just a person responsible for helping spread the word. Can you give me some air first?"
"Tianlong fifth-generation fighter jets, War Eagle commandos, Qin-class nuclear submarines, the Second Artillery Corps..."
"Wait a minute, Director Yang, don't scare me."
...
Before Yang Ming could say anything, Xiong Zhuang quickly interrupted him. His face was frightened by Yang Ming's words, "Director Yang, what you said are all state secrets. The Ministry of National Defense
How could you be willing to be exposed in a promotional film?"
Not to mention Xiong Zhuang, even Zhao Sheng on the side was not a military fan, but the troops and weapons Yang Ming mentioned were all well-known weapons and equipment in China.
As a Chinese, no one does not know this.
Yang Ming waved his hand to signal Xiong Zhuang not to worry, and then said: "You just need to talk to the other side. They have the final say whether you agree or not. In fact, I also know that these are state secrets, but I am not filming the production process of these weapons and equipment.
, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, what country doesn’t know about these weapons internationally?”
"Perhaps it has been thoroughly studied by others."
Xiong Zhuang is a member of the military, so he naturally knows that these weapons will not expose anything if they are used to shoot propaganda videos.
After all, these weapons and equipment have long been deployed in the army, and there are many videos and photos of these weapons and equipment from the outside world.
"Anyway, I'll tell them what you said, and it's up to them whether you agree or not." Xiong Zhuang said with a wry smile.
"Okay!" Yang Ming nodded.
The promotion of "Fast and Furious" in Seoul is very huge.
In fact, preparations for this promotional event started three months in advance. Oriental DreamWorks has its own branch in Seoul. After three months of preparation, both TV newspapers and online media have given great support to this promotional event.
of attention.
Yang Ming first took several of the main actors from the crew to a meeting with fans at a local flagship movie theater in Seoul, where he interactively answered fans' questions and other people-friendly activities.
Then, a group of them participated in a press conference for a new product of a large and well-known North Korean company without stopping.
This company is the advertising sponsor of "The Fast and the Furious". This time they invited Yang Ming and others to come over, but it cost a lot of money.
In the evening, Yang Ming and all of them participated in an entertainment talk show on TV Chosun. In the show, the host asked many questions about Yang Ming's new film.
In a short period of time, "Fast and Furious" and the names of Yang Ming, Zhao Sheng, Xiong Zhuang, Huang Xiaofeng and others frequently appeared in the news reports of North Korea's major media, bombarding the attention of the North Korean people, and unknowingly
