Chapter 75 Out of the Circle
=====================
Luke would do things to seek a beating, but he would never take the beating.
this--
It's the great risk aversion.
Seeing his proud face, Quill praised him and then took out a secret box.
The final battle scenes have been filmed. Luke calmed down and focused on watching the sample film.
As an absolute commercial film, the essence of "Forge the God" is to create top-notch popcorn-style excitement, so when reviewing the film, he also judged it from this perspective.
As the progress bar extended, what touched Luke the most was the part where the dwarves were forced to become slaves to build the city wall.
Yellow sand filled the sky, and thousands of slaves dragged huge rocks towards the city. In the distance, the giants' curses could be heard.
The glory and bloodiness of history are all reflected in one long shot.
The overall effect was better than he had imagined. With the action guidance of Feather Pen, all the war scenes were flawless.
After reading it, Luke couldn't help but sigh.
He said happily, "I'll cut a trailer now."
The editing was tedious. Luke checked the elements frame by frame, with a feather pen assisting him. When he found that several highlights of the film had been edited out, he asked, "Are you sure it's okay?"
It’s cool, but you can guess the plot just by watching the trailer.
Luke's eyes curved: "Try the effect first."
A movie that is kept completely secret is unlikely to make a splash. During the marketing process, some films may even release more than five or six versions of the film, and the essence of those versions is the selling point.
Exciting, refreshing...stick to these two themes and be a little reserved at the end.
Luke is now determined to make the first trailer that goes viral on the Internet.
After revising it three times and making sure it was the best possible film, he officially decided: "Call it a day!"
When I turned around, I found that the terminal message that had been put aside had soared by 99+.
“……” He really didn’t have time to spare for even a second.
Many fans have invested a lot of emotional reflection on Luke, fantasizing that they can also rise from the bottom like him.
Now, they are being deliberately guided and worshipped like spiritual totems, and have zero tolerance for different opinions.
The quill pen is superbly efficient.
While assisting Luka with editing, he took the time to sort out the real fans and the garbage, lowered his head and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to destroy them directly or recycle them?"
Sui Han is the administrator, and the 120 people led by him obviously have bad intentions.
Luke: "I can probably guess who did it."
There is only one group of humans who will go to great lengths to deal with him: the Holy Court.
I have to admit that Shengting and Alec are forward-looking in some aspects and they both thought of forming a fan base in advance.
Once fans behave irrationally in the name of love, they can easily cause traffic backlash. He wanted to say destroy it directly, but he stopped talking.
It takes a lot of time and energy to mingle with the fan group, and the guidance methods are immature and green, not like those of a priest or a maid.
...Intern priest.
Luke immediately thought of the most likely identities of these people.
Trainee priests have always been the cheapest labor force in the Holy See. In a sense, they are like freshly graduated college students who are eager to engage in cyber fraud.
Seeing that he was stuck, Quill knew that he would probably have to ignore it. He tapped his fingers on the terminal and said, "Actually, there are still some uses for keeping them."
Lujia thought about it and decided to let him handle it according to the situation: "Everything should be based on protecting our interests first."
There is no way the Holy See is doing this just to ruin its own reputation. It must have a backup plan. It might as well observe these interns.
Some things can be delayed, some cannot.
In the trailer, Luke moves like the wind.
Not only did they complete the editing work quickly, but that same evening, they also released a trailer directly on the official account of "Forging the God".
There had been a round of heated discussions during the day, but as soon as there was the slightest sign of trouble, hot searches came pouring in like raindrops.
#ForgingGod# and #trailer# quickly became popular discussion terms.
From the perspective of an era of entertainment depression, it is impossible to interpret the meaning of the trailer based on the terms alone.
The most helpless one is the Holy See. What the hell is Iliad doing?
Releasing part of the movie content in advance means the possibility of being imitated and maliciously criticized. Isn't this reducing the box office?
They were not the only ones who were anxious. The light elves and dark elves, seeing that even the trailer had come out, just thought: what a sin.
Why are there people in the world who can work so fast!
The composition of the ending music is only halfway done.
Both parties tried to find some flaws in the work of the King of Rolls and couldn't wait to click on them.
At the beginning, a hoarse woman's voice came:
"The world will restart in war and collapse. This is... the war of gods."
Use God as the attraction to attract the audience who come to watch the fun.
Mountains, rivers, beautiful empty shots, everything becomes a miniature, and laughter comes from the place below that is condensed into a black dot.
The camera began to zoom in, and the smiling woman happened to raise her head and look at the vast sky.
As she looked into the distance, the bright lens became dimmer.
A short and strong man walked over from a distance, and a text introduction of the old man’s identity was given below: [King of the Dwarfs].
In front of all the family members, the dwarf king excitedly raised a hammer.
"It's done! Fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness, and ice. It contains seven attributes."
I don’t know if it was the excitement that caused his voice to tremble: “I have a feeling that this hammer may bring us prosperity, opportunities, and…”
He took a deep breath: "It could also be a disaster."
"War Hammer, I decided to name it - War Hammer!"
As the dwarf king finished speaking, the music began to change intermittently and violently, the screen went black, and the audience's hearts began to rise.
In the next scene, mountains and rivers collapsed and the air was filled with smoke.
The place where the dwarf king and his family were originally located has become a sea of fire, and outside the city, the armies are confronting each other.
Countless giants holding their weapons high.
The shooting angle further magnifies the size of the giants. When the reference is the dwarves, this terrifying gap makes the audience almost feel gigantic phobia.
In addition, the patterns of the formation condensed in the sky, and there seemed to be a giant eye hidden in the clouds.
The song of a virtual siren can be heard in the distance, and a massacre of the dwarves is taking place.
It's bloody and violent, and it makes everyone's adrenaline surge.
During this large-scale racial massacre, the camera gradually focused on a woman on the battlefield.
The woman who was smiling brightly at the beginning of the story now had blood on her face. She watched her tribesmen fall one by one among the blood and yellow sand, with endless grief in her eyes.
The Holy Demon Continent is accustomed to killing.
So in terms of visual memory, no matter how tragic the scene is, it may not be as impressive as the image of a child holding flowers and inserting them into a cannon.
Now the scenes of life and death intertwined with the beauty of war are truly shocking to them.
"So beautiful." Almost all netizens who were watching the trailer had this inappropriate thought.
But it's really beautiful.
Makeup cannot conceal some racial characteristics, and the wildness is further magnified. The woman standing in the yellow sand is like a shining pearl.
The first netizen to come to his senses left an enthusiastic message: [Looking at the list of actors, this is played by dwarves, right? 】
[I don't understand, when did the dwarves develop such stunning beauty? ! 】
In order to go against Luke, Nellie deliberately dressed very elaborately on the day of the photo shoot, but now it has had an unexpected effect.
The giants swung their clubs at the woman's head.
I don't know when the music stopped, but the sound of wind caused by the sticks hitting me was extremely clear.
"Don't!" The dark elf, who was originally waiting to find flaws, felt his heart rise to his throat.
There were many viewers who held their breath like him. Some even covered their eyes, unable to bear to watch the tragedy that followed. The children who were watching the video with their parents were praying subconsciously.
At the critical moment, the music suddenly became passionate.
As if hearing the audience's cheers, a hole was torn in the void and a figure walked out.
Ignoring magic and blood rain, the Skybreaker's speed was as fast as lightning.
The stone stick missed.
The dwarf princess was moved a few meters away.
The person turned sideways, his pupils turned white and gray, and he spread his wings in the sky and teleported with the princess... He was truly like a god descending from heaven.
No, it is the goddess of beauty coming.
The giant eye in the sky immediately moved.
The Outer God came covered in stars, and with a wave of his scepter, a terrifying beam of light radiated and spread out, killing all the soldiers below who were hit by the laser.
Amid the dense rays, the audience almost screamed out loud.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the man successfully escaped into the void, the end of his hair brushed against the rays, and a small tuft of hair was cut off and scattered in the sky over the battlefield.
The screen went black again, and then only two pale words remained in the center of the screen. A sorrowful female voice whispered:
"revenge."
Fifty-nine seconds later, the trailer ended and the netizens in front of the terminal were stunned for a long time.
Due to the limited stage area, it is difficult to shoot large scenes in opera. As the only movie to be adapted into a big screen, The Young Master does not have any large scenes.
It was the first time they saw such a strong visual shock through the screen.
The people in the Holy See who were in charge of monitoring Luke were all over with emotion. After they came to their senses, they slapped themselves hard.
"It's over."
Even they think it's handsome, so what about the reactions of other viewers after watching it!
Without any surprise, after a short reaction time, the community was once again in an uproar.
Although the final rescue scene lasted less than seven seconds, it was watched again and again by the audience.
In order to keep the audience from being distracted, Luke made major changes to his image, from his hairstyle to his clothing. The makeup was so successful that many people didn't even immediately associate it with him.
It wasn't until I saw the cast that I came to realize what was going on.
When replaying the trailer, the audience paid special attention to those few seconds of rescue, and only then did they realize that the camera rarely shot the face directly, and it was almost impossible to find a full-face shot.
But it is this kind of implicit feeling of half-covering the face like a lute that makes her beauty reach to the very hair.
…
A trailer of Qianqian generated hundreds of millions of views on the day it was released.
The next day, Lillian's newspaper column brought up the hot spring voyeurism incident in the Stone City.
With the help of external forces, Lu Jiachun became famous among the public thanks to her beauty.
He didn't have much time to enjoy the joy of success because he needed to shoot some more footage and flew to the Klin Tower that day.
After watching the actors reshoot the scenes, when I was finally able to go back to the room to rest, I suddenly heard a sentence from inside: "We are on the same road together, and the starlight does not ask about the distant visitors." '
The hand that was pushing the door open suddenly froze in mid-air.
A few seconds later, Luke entered the room, and the cold light that leaked in shone on the tall silhouette beside the table. The latter's speech a few seconds ago was still echoing in the relatively empty room.
Luke: “…What are you doing?”
Quill said calmly: "Lead the channel members to chant slogans."
I saw a vast expanse of white in the group, and everyone’s avatar was white.
The voice messages increased rapidly, and when I clicked on any of them, it was the same sentence I had heard before.
Luke's eyelids twitched and he almost thought he was still asleep.
What kind of humiliation test is this?
The quill randomly plays the ones that shout the loudest.
I don’t know if it’s because the administrator feels guilty, but his voice is so loud.
In just a few words, there is a hundred percent of trembling, a thousand percent of disbelief, and a million percent of forced calmness.
Lujia accidentally saw the announcement sent by Quill, asking them to write a short essay on him and point out the qualities in themselves that most impressed them.
The evaluation reward is ten free tickets to "Forging the God".
Forging the God has become popular before it even airs, and we can already foresee that tickets will be hard to come by.
As soon as the activity was launched, it received a lot of responses.
"There will be another new activity later," said the quill: "We will work together to create a song for you."
Luke's toes almost tapped the ground when he heard this.
He got to the point: "You want to assimilate those undercover agents?"
Assimilation sounds nice, but it actually means brainwashing.
Feather Pen said calmly: "Slogans can create high emotions. If you shout them too much, they will naturally become subconscious. Articles will expose their psychological weaknesses, which can be exploited."
He said meaningfully: "Turn them over, they will be of great use in the future."
Of course, this is far from enough. The feather pen also has a series of militarized management methods that have not been mentioned.
I already got goosebumps just hearing the slogan. Lujia went to the window to get some fresh air, and when he opened the window he saw the long-lost falling snow.
The deep winter is almost over, but the plum blossoms in the corner are still in full bloom.
The poem written with the quill pen came to his mind. Luke's fingers sank slightly into the window sill, and his ears moved unnaturally.
He now has a general understanding of the author's central idea in the poem.
As a former legend of the continent, Alex is not a philanthropist. After recovering most of his memory and strength, he treats himself even better than before, which says a lot.
As for myself, it would be a lie to say that I have no feelings for the feather pen, but the truth is that I don't know how to respond.
Having not received any love while growing up, Luke always feels ashamed and timid to return the love.
Those who have been good to him in the past can now sit down at the same business table to negotiate prices and achieve mutual benefit and common development.
But feelings cannot be bargained.
Luke turned sideways, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.
After a long while, he managed to utter a sentence without a beginning or an end: "Do you think I am going too far?"
Enjoy everything the other person brings to you carelessly, and habitually avoid the topic by talking about your career.
Quill had already figured out Luke's personality.
This person can do a thousand things for you, but it's hard to express them formally in words.
"Once we kill your whole family, everything will be fine."
The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
Luke thought what he said made sense and nodded slightly.
Outside the window, Nellie runs over excitedly, wanting to show off the trailer that has gone viral.
She wants to spend money to reshoot some scenes to perfect them and fully highlight her beauty.
As a result, when I arrived, I saw two people "talking to each other" by the window.
Nellie stood there in shock. Elijah was so busy, how could he still have time for a private life?
besides.
Are they both speaking human language? !
Sensing the presence of a third person, Luke stopped talking and looked over accurately.
"What's up?"
The calmness of the young man in front of her overlapped with the words his parents had said before. Nellie shuddered and said cautiously:
"I feel like I can be photographed even better in these retake shots."
The dwarves have always been very vain, and they still pay more attention to quality than Luke.
The praise from the Internet put Nelly on the spot, and she almost went from being picky to being critical of the performance in front of the camera.
Lu Jia said calmly, "Same old, you have to pay for the reshoot out of your own pocket."
"certainly!"
In order to make the plot more compact, Luke further refined the editing during the reshoot process. At the same time, he began to contact major opera houses to confirm the screening date and other matters.
The opera house seized the opportunity and put up giant posters.
"Forge God" is a group portrait in a sense. The center of the poster is a big hammer, and the background is a city wall and canal that resemble a giant python.
Directly above, the giant eye of the Outer God’s cloud layer has an extremely oppressive feeling.
The main actors basically all have front faces, and Luke is fixed in the last corner of the poster, still with a side profile.
I don’t know if it’s due to atavism, but the face that originally had a bit of childishness has grown up in a few months, showing a sharp beauty.
The setting of the Void Clan is originally cold and aloof, which is a perfect fit for Luke.
Magic elements are flickering, and this time the poster adopts a suspended design, floating directly in the air.
You can see any place in the city from 360 degrees without blind spots.
I was already on suspense because of the few seconds of footage in the trailer, and now I'm being hooked again.
Many viewers just felt itchy in their hearts but had no place to vent, so they finally went to the Internet to vent their dissatisfaction.
For a time, the official account was full of criticism.
[Front-face photo, front-face photo!] 】
[Ahhhhh!] I'm a little worried about the scenes with the Void in the movie now. 】
【agree! But isn’t it a good idea for us to curse on the official account? After all, the director is also Luke. 】
【……】
[Please vote!] Rather than the issue of roles, the key issue now is that I can’t buy a ticket! 】
This time it’s not the official hoarding sales, it’s really hot offline. It happened to be released on a holiday, so even some viewers who were not very interested in the movie would choose to stock up on tickets to join in the fun.
The official account was as stingy with words as ever.
It wasn’t until three days later that the official account of “Forging God” finally released another update:
See you in all theaters tomorrow.
--------------------
Excerpt from Luke's diary:
Barry: What do you do when you are not working on your business?
Alex: He's having an affair.
Luke: ...This is my diary, what are you doing?
One hundred red envelopes are dropped randomly, but I have to catch the bus, so I can’t finish writing. The content of the movie release will be finished at once tomorrow. If possible, please help me save the nutrient solution for next month. Love you guys!
PS: It’s free to speak.
