Thomson's name is in two films released on May 15.
In fact, there are two directors in "The Truman Show".
One director is Forrest and the other is Thomson.
Thomson was responsible for the selection, formation, lighting and scene arrangement of the entire crew.
later……
Thomson abandoned the film to make Dawn, which he wrote and directed.
The follow-up work of "The Truman Show" was handed over to Forrest...
So the position of main director went to Forrest, and Thomson also took up a position as assistant director.
Thomson looked at his name on the promotional poster for "The Truman Show".
He lowered his head, then took another look at the promotional poster of "Dawn".
He felt his heart begin to heat up...
Once upon a time, he thought what he was pursuing was high box office and breaking records!
but……
Ever since "Star Wars" broke the record for science fiction films, he found that what he was pursuing had changed unconsciously.
What is the meaning of being “remote”?
What is it?
He asked himself this question more than once.
Although I achieved success with the script given to me by my boss, is this success real?
The boss’s brilliance is so bright that no one in this world can compare to him!
If you really want to prove your worth, you don’t need your boss’s help.
later……
In this reflection...
And then there was "Dawn"!
"Now, the time has come!"
"come on!"
These two sentences flashed through Thomson's mind, and then he walked into the screening room of "Dawn".
…
The major cinema chains did not schedule a large number of screenings for "The Truman Show", accounting for only about 20%.
after all……
"Titanic" and "La La Land" are still hot.
Of course, even though everyone in the world knew that this was a movie sponsored by advertising, cinemas around the world were packed...
Many fans of Lu Yuan, including most movie fans, rushed to watch "The Truman Show".
Everyone knows one purpose, which is to see how Lu Yuan's script can make use of so many advertising sponsorships!
Um……
This also includes many directors.
Duncan is one of them.
Even though "God of the Sun" was a rip-off, and even though Duncan really hated Lu Yuan and felt like he was always being stepped on and rubbed by Lu Yuan.
but……
Still the same sentence.
Curiosity kills the cat.
How can he come up with something so special for an advertising film like this?
How can he play?
…
“Is the world we live in really the world we know?”
"Is there someone outside the world watching us?"
"Are we all characters in a movie?"
“…”
The movie "The Truman Show" gave everyone a huge surprise from the very beginning!
They heard a familiar voice.
This sound seems to be...
Lu Yuan’s voice?
etc!
Is it starting now?
What about the usual ads?
The fans who didn’t see the exclusive brainwashing advertisement of “Long Distance” were a little confused at first, and were really very uncomfortable for a while.
The Truman Show is unlike any other film ever released remotely.
Other movies start with a series of messy advertisements and then the actual feature film.
but……
At the beginning of "The Truman Show", there were no advertisements except for those produced by "Remote" Entertainment. It seemed that all the advertisements were cut out...
What is this for?
When Smith, the boss of Paimon Company, saw this abnormal setting, he immediately felt something strange.
Having accepted so many advertising sponsorships, shouldn’t the company run a large number of advertisements at the beginning and end of the film to relieve some of the pressure?
What on earth is he going to play?
Just when Smith was at a loss, suddenly...
Without any warning!
"We watch the show and are tired of the hypocritical expressions."
"I'm tired of seeing fancy stunts."
"The Truman Show can be said to be fake."
"Truman himself is not fake at all."
"This show has no script, no plot..."
“…”
“…”
When the scene switched to a person...
There were screams in the cinema, and the screams continued one after another.
In the picture, a young man faced the camera and said these words!
Everyone looked at the young man as if they had seen a ghost!
Subconsciously, they looked down and searched for the cast of "The Truman Show", but unfortunately, they did not see the young man's name in the cast list...
The young man's name is Lu Yuan.
This surprise made everyone very happy!
In an instant, they felt that the movie tickets for "The Truman Show" were worth it.
…
"I can't stand it anymore..."
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, there was a long burst of music.
Suddenly, the logo of the “Umbrella” insurance company and the logo of the “remote” takeout delivery company appeared…
Then...
Everyone saw a familiar face in the camera.
This person seems to be Wayne, the protagonist in "Whiplash"?
Bi Chumen, plays Bi Chumen.
When this font suddenly appeared on the screen, everyone was suddenly confused.
What's the meaning?
Wayne changed his name?
Changed his name to Bi Truman?
I don’t understand!
"Brother...how can you?"
"Even if you have to limp, you must climb to the top of the mountain!"
“…”
In the lens.
Continue with the music...
The male protagonist said this in a mysterious way...
Then……
“Reality show is my whole life!”
After the male protagonist finished speaking, the female protagonist, who was smiling and seemed to be being interviewed, suddenly said this.
After the other man said something else, all the movie fans suddenly understood.
This movie seems like a show within a movie?
Wayne is an actor named Bee Truman in the movie, and the character he plays is Bee Truman?
Afterwards, there was another shot of Truman mumbling something, and after he finished speaking, everyone saw a line of words.
The 10909th broadcast day...
Another line of words appeared after this line of words.
Fully sponsored by "Remote Takeaway", "Remote" takeaway, your conscientious partner!
“Puff!”
"Fuck!"
"Product placement is here already? Fortunately, it's not too awkward..."
“That’s right…”
…
"Good morning!"
"Good morning!"
"If I don't see you again, I wish you good morning! Good afternoon! Good night..."
After the protagonist greeted his neighbors in a mysterious voice, the main film of "The Truman Show" finally began!
Then, some American movie fans suddenly found that "The Truman Show" was very familiar to them.
Familiar streets, familiar billboards, familiar street lights, familiar pedestrians...
Everyone was stunned.
Isn't this Los Angeles? When was this filmed?
Is "The Truman Show" a documentary?
The American audience was stunned for a moment, and then, invisibly, they seemed to have a sense of immersion...
later……
Fans who were unfamiliar with Los Angeles saw a familiar scene...
People saw where the actor worked.
An insurance company, and the name of this insurance company is called "Umbrella" Insurance Company!
"Hahaha, Mr. Lu Yuan is simply a genius!"
“He is a true film master!”
"Did you see it? This is our company's product placement in the movie. But can you tell it's a product placement? Hahaha..."
“…”
In a movie theater in the United States.
Irwin, the biggest sponsor of "The Truman Show", and his fifty rich second-generation friends booked a screening room in a movie theater.
Then, the entire theater was filled with Ivan's uncontrollable laughter...
He originally thought that his product placement would be awkward.
But now…
There is no stiffness at all!
"Wow, I saw it too. The toothpaste Truman used is ours. The trademark is very obvious under the camera. Also, the effect after brushing teeth is pretty good. Hahahaha..."
"And me, the printer in this office is also ours. Truman even praised it specially. Feipu printer is really easy to use. It is worthy of being the world's top office brand. Hahahaha... I am so satisfied!"
“…”
“…”
There were bursts of laughter in the screening room.
It seems like a carnival for a group of advertising sponsors!
Of course, the second-generation rich who didn’t see their own ads were not in a hurry. They watched the movie and looked forward to this scene…
…
Advertising film.
In the film classification, it symbolizes bad movies with bad reputation and bad movies that are disgusting to the eyes.
but……
"The Truman Show" is not such a movie.
"The Truman Show" has created a huge, jaw-dropping reality show!
Then, the plot is like hypnosis, and every scene of product placement seems to be telling you and hinting at one thing, that is, this movie is reality, a documentary, a life documentary that records the growth of a baby!
Then, every scene in the movie is real!
If you go to Los Angeles, you can see the familiar street scenes in the movies. If you go to a small town in Los Angeles, you can see the small town in "The Truman Show"...
certainly……
Many of the ad placements look incredibly stiff!
for example……
Truman stood in front of a billboard called "Aowei Furniture" and greeted familiar people in a meaningless way...
They stood there for a full thirty seconds, with the "Aowei Furniture" billboard flashing before the eyes of the fans.
This looks tough.
But when you really watch this movie, you suddenly realize that it's not hard anymore.
Why?
Product placement is what the script plot requires!
"The Truman Show" itself is a reality show, and this reality show is a movie that mainly relies on advertising to make profits!
All this...
They are all plots and part of the movie!
The awkward product placement actually makes the sense of immersion even more explosive!
"Oh my God!"
"How on earth did he come up with this script?"
"This person really made the script so interesting! I'm actually... a little scared..."
"Oh my god, this plot..."
“…”
In the cinema, waves of inexplicable exclamations rang out.
"He is the master of movies and screenwriting!"
"He redefined advertising films!"
“…”
Then, a fanatic suddenly stood up and couldn't help but say this!
Then, as if a little embarrassed, he sat back down subconsciously.
After being amazed, everyone was attracted by the following plot of the movie.
Some film critics even realized that this movie might be an extremely meaningful and even memorable one!
On the screen...
When the protagonist realized that his world seemed very strange, everyone's hearts began to tremble along with the protagonist in the movie!
"The Truman Show" officially won the ** plot!
