Chapter 272 Movie Promotion
"...Then, as the film's director and screenwriter, Zhao, is there anything you can reveal to the audience?"

Movie, "Hero Out of Control" promotional scene.

The host interviewed Zhao Yuan as the director.

"Thank you."

After taking the microphone handed by the staff, Zhao Yuan looked at the host, and deliberately led the topic to the background story of the movie: "I don't think there is much need for elaboration, because I believe the content of this 'documentary' It's not just America, the whole world knows it's true, and all I'm doing is presenting it to the public."

Since it is a 'pseudo-documentary' movie, it is natural to create the authenticity of the movie.

Even though, after being baptized by a large number of 'pseudo-documentary' movies, the audience already knew the routine behind this type of movie, but for the sake of movie promotion, Zhao Yuan still insisted that this is a real movie. documentaries, not movies.

In fact, it wasn't just Zhao Yuan's side.

Universal, before the film was released, put a large number of clips of 'Andrew' and others fighting in New York, interspersed with the promotional trailer of the movie, on YouTube to awaken the public's memory of the battle that took place in New York a few months ago. An implanted publicity method, the investment is not much, but the effect is surprisingly useful.

Today, the most viewed video on YouTube has reached around 3000 million and counting.

At the same time, in order to maximize the publicity effect, Universal also specially prepared a promotional tour for "Heroes Out of Control".

As the director and screenwriter, Zhao Yuan is undoubtedly one of the main personnel in this promotion.

Originally, Zhao Yuan was not very interested in this type of promotional activities.

However, considering the later box office of the "Heroes Out of Control" movie, he also took a certain amount of dividends, and when Universal signed the director agreement, it clearly stated that he did have the obligation to promote the film as a director.

Therefore, due to emotion and reason, Zhao Yuan had to participate in the promotional schedule of the whole movie.

……

"...the event that shocked the whole world is still being watched by the world today, and now the legendary film director has recorded the whole process from the beginning of the incident to the shocking end, in the form of a 'documentary' ' was released in the form of..."

"Superheroes exist in this world, and we shouldn't turn a blind eye to it. The superhero incident that shocked the United States will now be presented as a movie!"

After passing through Tokyo for two days and one night, a new round of movie promotion was completed.

On the plane to London, the faces of the main creators of "Heroes Out of Control" were clearly tired.

A promotional tour is not a simple tour. Universal has arranged a large number of promotional activities in every country it tours.

For example, in the previous promotion in Mexico, the local staff specially prepared traditional Mexican straw hats for Zhao Yuan and the others to wear. In Japan, the local promotional company also prepared clothing with local characteristics and a promotional slogan with obvious Japanese characteristics. Come to build momentum for the movie "Heroes Out of Control".

However, due to his lack of interest in costumes, Zhao Yuan rejected the promotional methods of traditional costumes proposed by the Japanese side, and simply participated in some necessary promotional activities as a director. During the promotion process in Kyoto, Through the recording function of the system, the local viewfinder was completed.

……

"It seems, Director Zhao, you are very interested in Japanese culture?"

On the plane, seeing Zhao Yuan's backpack full of souvenirs with Japanese "art" characteristics, the leading actor of the movie immediately opened his mouth.

Today's Zhao Yuan can be regarded as a well-known director of commercial films in Hollywood.

In the Japanese propaganda, he became a legendary director. Although he has the country's consistent two-year-old and exaggerated features, it also proves Zhao Yuan's status in Hollywood.

So, no surprise.

Several leading actors in "Heroes Out of Control" showed more or less fawning attitudes towards him.

"Don't you think, these things look interesting?"

He casually put a strange-looking souvenir back into his luggage. Facing the protagonist's question, Zhao Yuan replied casually: "From these souvenirs, I can feel the particularity of Dongying culture, which may provide me with Some ideas, to make a movie about it."

Hearing the movie idea that Zhao Yuan said, the eyes of several leading actors on the plane flashed with emotion.

Even if, this so-called movie is just the idea mentioned by Zhao Yuan casually, without even a concrete shadow.

But considering his identity and the achievements of several consecutive high-grossing movies, no actor would refuse to participate in it.

It's just a pity that these actors are destined to be disappointed.

Although Zhao Yuan had the idea of ​​creating a script based on the souvenirs, unfortunately, the script in his mouth was not the movie script that everyone imagined, but an even more unbelievable realistic script.

It would be a pity not to leave a souvenir after finally coming to Japan.

……

Although I already have the idea of ​​creating a new script in my heart.

However, there is still a lot of time before Zhao Yuan actually takes action to design.

Right now, the promotional tour of the movie "Heroes Out of Control" is just in the middle of it. Under such a busy state, it is not suitable for him to settle down and prepare a new script.

Flying from Japan to London, this once glorious empire can only be described as declining.

The afterglow of the British Empire has gradually dimmed, and it is no longer the past, but the vast majority of people in this country are still immersed in the glory of the past and cannot extricate themselves.An important foreshadowing has been laid for the future Brexit. A UK that does not consider itself to belong to Europe from the beginning to the end, leaving the EU is obviously unexpected.

The publicity of "Heroes Out of Control" in London was not ideal, and the proud British did not like the "pseudo-documentary" form of film.

The entire publicity process did not cause too many splashes.

After feeling the arrogance of London, the cast and crew, who were very popular in Japan before, felt the difference between the cold and the hot, which shocked several leading actors of the film.

However, Zhao Yuan didn't care too much about this.

The main force of the box office market of "Heroes Out of Control" is no longer in London, and even the global box office is not high in the UK.

So, after finishing the publicity work in London.

Zhao Yuan just used the same system to record the local customs, then hastily ended the promotion, and took the plane again to the next promotion point.
