[…First of all, the routine of disaster films is quite mature and fixed. It starts with a thrilling incident to show the protagonist’s skills and abilities, then explains the conflicts in the protagonist’s family and career. Then the authorities discover the clues of the disaster and send people to investigate and stop it but fail. At this time, a think tank-like character will stand up and formulate some seemingly unreliable plans, and then this plan can only be implemented by the protagonist’s team. Then it is a journey of overcoming obstacles, death and injury, leaving the protagonist and heroine to solve family problems and save the world. ]

[This kind of routine can be said to be clichéd, or it can be said to be the kingly way. In recent years, disaster films have probably been unable to escape the arrangement and combination of these routines. After all, for this type of movie, the audience expects big scenes, watching those familiar buildings and landmarks being destroyed, and pursuing a sense of excitement.]

[There are many details hidden in the trailer of Lu Ban's movie. Let me explain them to you one by one. First is the trailer of the volcanic eruption. Although the volcano here does not show the specific place name, based on the scale of the eruption and the nearby urban buildings, it should be located in...]

[As for typhoons, as we all know, the level of a typhoon can only indicate its lower limit. A maximum wind speed of more than 51 meters is level 16, and there are differences between level 16 typhoons. The scale of the typhoon presented in the movie is far beyond our cognition. The most recent example of this type of typhoon is the typhoon caused by abnormal climate in the South Pacific two years ago...]

This article, through popular science on various meteorological and climate issues, as well as analysis of disaster films, roughly outlines some of the highlights that may appear in Lu Ban's film, as well as the difficulty of producing special effects. At the same time, this article also expresses concern about the ending of the film.

[…Finally, this movie throws out so many super-heavyweight natural disasters at once. How it ends is an important question. Any of these natural disasters can have a lasting impact on human society and even destroy civilization. If they occur at the same time, we cannot solve them with our current level of science and technology. If Lu Ban forcibly uses a deus ex machina to solve the problems, then this movie will undoubtedly be incomplete.]

[At the same time, another question is, what is the connection between this movie and the unique cultures of other worlds that Lu Ban showed before? This looks like a disaster movie happening around us. What kind of connection will it have with those monsters, insect swarms, and the world shrouded in disasters? ]

As soon as this article came out, many people began to be curious about what methods Lu Ban would use to help the protagonist solve these problems.

But then again, the protagonist of this movie hasn't appeared yet.

Oh, the protagonist of Lu Ban’s movies is usually himself, so that’s okay.

In June, the film production was proceeding in an orderly manner. Lu Ban had planned to release the film during the Spring Festival next year, which would be in February. There was still eight months left. This was mainly for publicity and scheduling. After all, if one wanted to attract as many people as possible to watch the film, choosing a holiday was important.

For China, the two best periods are the Spring Festival and October. The summer vacation will be a little later, and the Spring Festival is the best of the two periods. Any movie that can be released during the Spring Festival will not be postponed or delayed. Many movies will even postpone their release dates to the Spring Festival.

Moreover, in other time periods, if one movie performs well, other movies may be affected, but in the Spring Festival period, there may be several movies that have box office explosions.

Although it may seem unlucky to watch a disaster movie during the Chinese New Year, so many people watch war movies, and some movies start with a comedy but end with a tragedy. Lu Ban doesn't think it's a big deal.

According to the trend in recent years, many movies even say that they would be considered a success as long as they can surpass Boonie Bears.

For promotion purposes, Lu Ban also attended the latest episode of a talk show.

He is a very low-key person. If it weren't for saving the world, he would not participate in such a project.

This talk show is quite popular and has various formats. There is one person performing stand-up comedy on stage, there are also debates on set topics, and there have been similar talent shows in the past. Many people who were previously unknown have become famous thanks to this show and have opened their own media companies.

However, recently, many of the themes and content of this program have tended to be about emotional life, and the program often uses life-threatening questions between couples as topics. Not only do such topics have no correct answers, but they are also interpreted differently by each person, which can easily lead to confrontation and dispute.

Therefore, every episode of the program will be on the hot search list, and most of the hot searches are about people supporting both sides quarreling or playing opposite roles, which brings a large wave of traffic to the program.

Lu Ban was participating in a talk show, so he didn't have to debate with anyone.

He felt that he was not good at speaking and would definitely not be able to beat others in an argument, so he could only transform himself into a ruthless "ah, yes, yes, yes" machine.

But Lu Ban didn't expect that the show would be so tense from the very beginning.

The theme of this episode is movies. One of the guests said at the beginning that he never watches movies. He believes that movies are fictional delusions that are of no help to real life. Today's movies are full of the smell of commercial money. Moreover, most of today's movies are directed by male directors and are full of machismo.

After hearing these remarks, Lu Ban quickly realized that this guest might not have any opinion on the movie. She just wanted to lead the topic to an area she was familiar with and then use her rich experience to convince others.

For these public figures, stance is sometimes everything. Many times, stance is all that is needed, not logic.

Another guest was much more moderate. His view was that there are good and bad movies. Good movies can cultivate people's sentiments, while bad movies will affect the public.

It is very obvious that Lu Ban is theoretically the one who supports the movie. Only in this way can the discussion among the three parties be interesting, have topics to talk about, and have points for debate. When everyone starts arguing, the program will attract traffic.

However, Lu Ban had no intention of arguing with others. In this situation, even if he could convince others with reason, the other party would definitely be stubborn. It would be meaningless, just like trying to convince others in an online debate.

After listening to the speeches of the two guests, he took the microphone.

"What both guests said is very interesting. I think the quality of a movie still depends on the actual finished product. I am currently preparing a disaster-themed movie called "Doomsday" which will be released simultaneously around the world during the Spring Festival next year. Everyone is welcome to come and watch it then."

"???"

After hearing Lu Ban's words, the two guests next to him were a little slow to react.

etc.

What happened to the agreed tit-for-tat and endless argument?

How come this person is directly advertising and is so tough?

Just advertise?
