Chapter 27 The Show Begins

The two promotional videos are also one of Su Yun's marketing strategies.

When facing the child audience, it is like Cinderella transforming and the "hero" punishing the evil, with all the fancy words throughout; when facing the adults, it is like the original wife returning to fight against the mistress, with all the drama.

The reason why classic melodramatic plots remain popular for so long is that they hit a chord with the general public, so everyone likes to watch them. Even in the more knowledgeable and experienced later generations, there are still people who repeatedly list movies and TV shows with these melodramatic plots, not to mention the 1970s when these memes were still very fresh.

The appearance of these two flashy and melodramatic movies not only shocked the Hong Kong audience, but also many people with vested interests in the film and television industry: Where did the rich people come from to spend so much money on post-production!

You know, there are all kinds of post-production technologies in this era, but they are only affordable for the wealthy crews in Hollywood. In Hong Kong, a backward region where people are reluctant to develop the rough film in time to see the effect, asking them to do post-production color grading and special effects - dear, are you kidding me? !

They are really pursuing realism. Explosions are real, car crashes are real, and apart from using steel wires to hang on when filming martial arts movies and renting a trampoline for jumping, anything that can be done by manpower in the early stage will never be left for later stage.

Because post-production is so expensive! We can’t afford the cost!

However, for Su Yun, a plug-in dog with her own system cheat code, the previous sentence is fine, but she can also add one more sentence: Everything that cannot be done in the early stage, please leave it to the later stage!

Due to his previous career, Su Yun's supporting system is also a super artificial intelligence computer equipped with a super family bucket for post-production. Before Su Yun became rich, he could only huddle in a corner as a training black room with its own tutorial.

But now, it can finally hold its head high and enjoy the treatment it deserves as a super artificial intelligence!

Su Yun, a former junky who loves computers, also hit it off immediately: In the past, if she wanted to do any big production, she might have to turn on the computer for several months and wait for rendering to achieve the desired effect; now with this cross-era artificial intelligence computer, as long as she is willing to work hard, it is not a very time-consuming, laborious or expensive task for her to complete all the special effects of the Avengers by herself!

For those of you who are shocked at how much money I spent on post-production, I can tell you that these two promotional videos were basically made at zero cost!

Because this was made by Su Yun who simply piled up a bunch of scrap copper and iron to pretend to be a "small camera", and then used the system's built-in multi-angle camera function to take pictures.

At that time, the director Xu Guwen was very puzzled as to why Su Yun brought such a strange device to the set. However, since she was the sponsor of the film, he could not say anything and could only watch her put the device on a stand next to her when she had scenes to film, and hold it handheld when she didn't have scenes to film. No one knew why she was so busy.

Then, when the production was about to be completed, Xu Guwen received two ready-made promotional videos from Su Yun.

After watching these two beautifully produced promotional videos, No. 1 and No. 2, Xu Guwen finally understood what it meant to say that there are always people who are better than you: he had traveled abroad and had a wide range of knowledge. He thought that being able to direct a movie in his early thirties was already a great achievement...

Unexpectedly, Su Yun, a nine-year-old girl, has repeatedly refreshed his understanding of the word "genius".

Come to think of it, last year, when she participated in the inter-school knowledge competition for primary school students from the 18 districts of Hong Kong held by TBB, she built a micro personal computer in the technology project that many adult foreigners could not build.

Moreover, during the days of filming, Su Yun was constantly doing various kinds of sexy operations.

When some young actors couldn't keep up with the filming requirements, he would ask them to give him a more angry expression, to which they responded with indifference and confusion.

Then Su Yun would walk over and start by saying, "Give me the look you get when your mortal enemy crushes the model airplane you worked so hard to make!" - Good guy, before she even finished her words, this little actor had already begun to vividly express the word "raging anger"...

"Okay, keep it, take a picture of him!" Su Yun rushed over and called out.

So Xu Guwen also learned how to add prefixes to adjectives.

However, adding suffixes to the script is not a long-term solution. Except for a few who have some acting skills, such as the Mei sisters and Wu Yunyi, the rest of the group of people Su Yun brought together are talented but not yet at the entry level. They often have to rely on him as the director and Su Yun as the scriptwriter to explain the play, and then the experienced actors Hu Xiu, Luo Xian, Xu Gujie and Deng Niyun to teach them step by step...

Then Su Yun came up with a 10-point method for acting, gathering all the main and supporting characters with important roles, and working out a method for scoring their facial expressions in various expressions from less to more, from one point to ten points, that is, from one point for an extreme smile to ten points for a crazy laugh, and grading them according to the points.

When close-ups are really needed, he and Su Yun analyze the facial expressions of the main and supporting characters, and then let them respond according to their instructions...

With all the twists and turns, this comedy romance film named "The Perfect Match" was finally successfully delivered two days before the Lantern Festival after Su Yun spent three consecutive days on the film.

During the two days that the film is saved, on the first day one copy is sent to the Film Censorship Office for review. On the second day, after the review is passed, the other copies are sent to various theaters and cinemas for preparation for screening.

On the lively Lantern Festival night, Che Meishuang looked at the beautifully made movie poster on the wall in amazement. The words that had touched the softest string in her heart were on the upper left corner of the poster.

At the top is a half-length photo of the hero and heroine wearing wedding attire with happy smiles on their faces.

On the left side below, the male protagonist is walking carefree with his daughter who is dressed in a boyish casual style; on the right side below, the female protagonist is dancing gracefully with her daughter who is dressed in a little dress... This fully demonstrates the ultimate difference between how men and women raise children.

After buying two tickets and entering the cinema, Che Meishuang suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why... so many children?

Movie stories these days are too extreme, either bloody and scary with fighting and killing or too long-winded and tedious, so moviegoers are helplessly divided into two groups: children, especially little boys, always like to watch those hard-core martial arts movies, while little girls mostly like to watch comedies or costume movies. Once they are dragged by their parents to watch a genre they don't like, they will hear the usual evil sounds of rolling around or crying.

It’s not that there aren’t women who like martial arts films and men who like period films, but society is not very tolerant of them. Unless you are accompanying someone or bringing your children, you will always get surprised looks when you sit in a crowd of people of the other gender…

So it is quite novel to see here that there are all kinds of people, young and old, and the numbers are quite balanced.

However, this novelty did not last long. As the lights in the entire venue dimmed and a projection pierced through the darkness and hit the screen, the sounds in the venue gradually weakened until the only sound effects in the entire venue were the music of the movie.

After the cast list and the Jiahe Company logo passed by, the first thing that caught people's eyes was an extremely luxurious cruise ship on the sea - Su Yun made it based on a photo of the Titanic.

Afterwards, a sweet and melodious voice rang out, and Deng Niyun, who was singing "Sweet Honey" on the small stage of a luxurious restaurant, appeared in front of the audience accompanied by the song.

"This song is so beautiful! She is worthy of being Deng Niyun!" Deng Niyun sang so well that many audiences were intoxicated by her.

“Isn’t this a Cantonese film?!” Of course, amid the intoxicated voice, there was also a hint of blame.

Before she finished her accusation, Deng Niyun, who had just finished singing a section, turned her head with a little surprise, and saw Xu Gujie slowly walking up to her, singing a Cantonese song "Pear Swirl's Smile" with a gentle and affectionate voice.

Walking in front of Deng Niyun, the two young people smiled at each other, and then a white light flashed from the camera flash. This beautiful scene was frozen and floated to the side, becoming a photo nailed to the wall.

As the photos of the two of them going on a date in the suburbs, proposing on one knee in a restaurant, and looking at each other with happy smiles on their faces were hung on the wall one by one, the wedding photos slowly zoomed forward -

There was a sudden tearing sound, and the photo was split in two.

The figures of the originally perfect couple slowly drifted away to both sides as the photo was split into two...

It was not until the image behind the photo of his wife in a wedding dress quietly and silently turned into the sparkling sea under the sun that it was grabbed by a small hand.

Su Yun, with her hair tied in a bun and wearing boyish overalls, leaned on the railing of the ferry. With one hand, she pushed back her duckbill cap that was obstructing her vision due to the sea breeze, and with the other hand, she held onto the half of the photo and stared at it for a long time.

"When can I see my mother again..." Su Yun muttered miserably like a left-behind child, and was then called away by her elegant and beautiful aunt Zhao Xia Shi.

"Yes, yes, don't be so aggressive when you come camping this time, and get along well with other kids..." After getting off the boat and walking to the gathering place in the woods, Zhao Xia Shi gently reminded Su Yun, and then handed the suitcase to her with confidence.

"Don't worry, aunt, I will get along well with them and won't bully them!" Seeing Zhao Xiashi's stern face, Su Yun quickly added in a low voice, "Of course, I won't let them bully me either..."

"You just want to fight!" Zhao Xiashi pinched Su Yun's cheek, "Listen to your aunt, you can't fight, otherwise I will complain to your father!"

"Well, I'll try my best." Su Yun replied with a bitter face, "But if someone flirts with me first, can I curse back? I only use words, not hands!"

"So, are you going to call me Duidui or Duidui? The one who talks but doesn't use his hands is Wangwang!" Zhao Xiashi pinched Su Yun's face again.

Watching Su Yun walking towards the yard of the camping hut with a bitter look on her face, Zhao Xia Shi let out a long sigh of relief with a mixture of anger and amusement, then turned around and slowly walked towards the pier while admiring the scenery of Lamma Island.

It’s just that some people, while appreciating the scenery, also become the scenery for others.

Zhou Yuanfa, who was sitting in a green taxi, leaned his head out of the passenger window. From the moment Zhao Xiashi appeared in front of him until she disappeared out of sight in the back, he was reluctant to move even a little bit.

"Hey, Mr. Ah! Stop looking at the girls. There is a camping cabin in front of you. Cars cannot enter. You have to get off the car!" The driver shouted unceremoniously in a local accent.

Zhou Yuan, dressed like a very energetic young man, opened the car door angrily and got out. He then walked to the back seat and said in Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent, "Shuangshuang, we've arrived. Get out of the car."

"Okay." Following a response in Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent, a petite figure wearing a dress and waist-length hair walked out of the car.

The camera shifts, and the bright sunlight shines on the face of the little girl in the dress. She looks exactly the same as the little girl in overalls, but because of her ladylike attire and the temperament of a young lady, she looks completely different and stunning.

It is hard to imagine that with the same facial features, one is just a cute girl next door, while the other is a rich lady who is charming even at a young age...

But it just appeared in front of everyone.

But at this time, the biggest question of the audience is - why are there two little girls who look like this, no, they look exactly the same? !
