After a long time of preparation, almost a year of preparation, the filming of "After Ascension" finally started in a county in Shaanxi.
This is another high-profile appearance of Wang Zhengfei after the Academy Awards. Originally, due to the Rich Man incident, Wang Zhengfei had to keep a low profile. Including the subsequent promotion of "The Age of Naked Marriage", Wang Zhengfei did not appear. Of course, the preparations for "After Ascension" were also included.
important reason.
"After Ascension" is the largest film that Wang Zhengfei has directed so far, and its difficulty can be imagined. Even Wang Zhengfei felt a little out of his depth.
At the same time, as part of the promotion plan for "After Ascension", the novel version of "After Ascension" was finally released before filming.
Wang Zhengfei has always been regarded as one of the classics in the Internet literary world due to his relationship with "Myth". Although Wang Zhengfei was in the entertainment industry, and later became famous in the business world, it did not affect Wang Zhengfei at all.
He has become a great god in the Internet literary world. Unfortunately, Wang Zhengfei has never written any more novels. Although his creations have not stopped, they are all in the form of scripts, movies, and TV series. This is still quite different from novels.
Now Wang Zhengfei has taken action again, and this time the place Wang Zhengfei chose to serialize is Qidian.com. Like Wang Zhengfei's previous life, there has not been much change. Without anyone's interference, Qidian.com has still become the largest original network in the country.
base and become a giant-level enterprise in the industry. If Wang Zhengfei wants to expand the influence of "After Ascension", of course he must choose to serialize it on the most influential website, and the starting point is the most influential serialization website at present.
Not only on Qidian, but also in major national newspapers such as Yangcheng Evening News, "After Ascension" will also be serialized. Originally, some people said that it was already serialized on a website and there was no need to serialize it in newspapers, but Wang Zhengfei's idea did not
It’s different. In fact, there is not much overlap between readers who read newspapers and readers who read online articles. Those who read online articles are generally very young. Among these people, there are very few who read newspapers at the same time. Only a small part.
So it can be said that they are people from two completely different circles. It is precisely because of this that Wang Zhengfei came up with this idea, and even had the idea of serializing it in a magazine. However, in the end, because it was already published in the physical media Yangcheng Evening News,
Magazines and the like are published far less quickly than newspapers, and the difference is too big, so in the end I decided to only serialize them in newspapers. As for magazines, forget it.
Of course, this is just a part of the promotion plan for "After Ascension", it is the beginning. As the largest movie prepared by Wang Zhengfei, "After Ascension" took more than half a year in the preliminary preparations, and the subsequent shooting time
, it is expected that it will not be less than this time, so there is still a long, long time to do publicity.
The serialization of novels now is just a preliminary publicity. Although the influence of online novels is not as powerful as Wang Zhengfei's later generations, it has already reached a certain scale, with millions of paying users, let alone no paying users.
, as long as all these people become fans of "After Ascension", if some of these people can watch "After Ascension" by then, the situation will be terrible, and the box office will be greatly increased.
Winning over this group of people is Wang Zhengfei's established strategy, and the same is true for "Yangcheng Evening News". As the largest newspaper in the country, "Yangcheng Evening News" has a circulation of more than one million, and its influence is naturally needless to say, and it can be said that it is
Another consumer group must be fought for.
Of course, there will be other media for publicity, such as Waiwai, Ruifeng.com, etc. Ruifeng.com has also specially developed a special topic "After Ascension". In addition to the same serial updates, it will also report some "Ascension" in real time.
The filming situation of "After".
Not long after this column was launched, it quickly became one of the most popular columns on Ruifeng.com. This basically shows the current influence of "After Ascension", or rather, it should be said that it is Wang Zhengfei's influence.
.
The novel draft of "After Ascension" was naturally given by Wang Zhengfei, but Wang Zhengfei was only responsible for the first half a million words. You must know that these half a million words were saved in the past year or so.
, Wang Zhengfei is also busy with other things. Basically, it is very rare to be able to write like this. According to the agreement with all parties, five thousand words are updated a day. The manuscript in Wang Zhengfei's hand alone is enough to update for more than three months.
, of course, during this period, novelists will be hired to create, update, and then update it like normal online novels. According to the speed, it will be updated until the release of "After Ascension - Part 1", the first half of which has just been updated.
Okay, then I will start serializing the second half, and continue serializing the last half until "After Ascension - Part 2" is released. This will just complete the publicity work. Generally speaking, it should be said that the novel follows the rhythm of the movie.
, and of course Wang Zhengfei provided the outline of the story, and those who came after basically could only write according to the outline given by Wang Zhengfei, and could also be said to be gunmen.
Of course, there are still big differences between novels and movies. As a fantasy masterpiece, "After Ascension" is naturally very rich in content. Many contents that cannot appear in the movie will appear in the novel. Generally speaking, although
They are in the same vein, but the content is still quite different. This is also caused by Wang Zhengfei. Otherwise, after reading the novel and knowing the result, a large number of people will not be willing to go to the movie, or after watching the movie, they will
I have no interest in reading the novel. This conflicts with Wang Zhengfei’s idea of trying to expand the influence of "After Ascension". By doing so, it can effectively make many people pay attention to the movie version and the novel version of "After Ascension" at the same time.
Of course, in order to expand the influence of "After Ascension", the serialization on the Internet is free from the beginning to the end, because for Wang Zhengfei, these forgone benefits can often produce greater benefits.
There is no need to worry about these small amounts of money.
If it were treated as an ordinary online novel and put on the shelves, it would undoubtedly isolate a considerable number of people, and Wang Zhengfei would not be happy with those who are likely to become movie fans.
This press conference attracted countless reporters. In order to entertain these reporters, Wang Zhengfei had a large stage specially built to entertain these reporters. And this large stage was not built in vain. After entertaining the reporters, there would be
It can be turned into a prop scene for filming. Wang Zhengfei is very good at it. Although the filming of "After Ascension" has hundreds of millions of dollars, which is basically very generous, Wang Zhengfei is not a person who spends money randomly.
Wang Zhengfei is not stingy with the money he spends, but he still has to try his best to save money.
At this press conference, Wang Zhengfei took some of the main creators who had already joined the crew and changed into the costumes of the play and appeared in front of the reporters. There are also some actors who may not join until the filming of the play reaches a certain level.
As for the crew, Wang Zhengfei is not Zhang Jizhong. He has such a strong desire to control that he has to stay in the crew regardless of whether there is a scene or not, and he is not allowed to go anywhere.
"Hello everyone, welcome everyone to attend the press conference for the launch of "After Ascension". However, I hope everyone will abide by the order. If you are asked about topics that have nothing to do with this movie, I will not answer!" Wang Zhengfei said as soon as he came up.
He is very tough and directly stopped some reporters talking about topics. Wang Zhengfei knows that with his current popularity, it is difficult to completely escape the influence of his status as a rich man. Even if he does not talk about the problems of the fourth richest man in the world, he will still talk about it.
Speaking of Dan Vo, after all, now that their relationship has been exposed, there are still many people who care about their relationship, rather than boring topics like how much money Wang Zhengfei has. No matter how much money Wang Zhengfei has, it is not theirs, they just have too much.
Just some gossip topics.
The reporters were suddenly excited. In fact, they really planned to ask Wang Zhengfei about these things. After all, compared to "After Ascension", there are still many people who want to know more about the wealthy family.
Of course, it is not about how much money Wang Zhengfei has, which is something that is officially stated outside, but about asking some more secretive rich people, which many people also like to see.
However, Wang Zhengfei's words were not that intimidating. The first reporter didn't buy it very much and asked: "Wang Zhengfei, we all know that you are a rich man, and Ruifeng Technology is also a property in your name. Can you comment on this?"
Give your opinion?"
Wang Zhengfei did not speak, but said coldly: "Next!" He ignored the somewhat embarrassed reporter at all.
The other reporters were refreshed. Wang Zhengfei was indeed as domineering as the legend said. He was completely uncooperative in answering questions that he was unwilling to answer. Of course, if he was unwilling to answer, no one would want to answer, but Wang Zhengfei was so naked.
The fruitful one is still the first.
"Wang Zhengfei, can you tell us how much investment there is in "After Ascension"? And do you have any investment in it?" This reporter was still a little unwilling to give up, but he was much smarter than the last one, so he asked on the sidelines.
road.
"The investment in "After Ascension" is a full 400 million US dollars. Of course, there may be additional investment. In the end, including investment in copying and other things, it is hard to say that the total investment will exceed 100 million US dollars!" Wang Zhengfei said.
Wang Zhengfei's words immediately caused an uproar among reporters. One hundred million US dollars is definitely an astronomical figure. Even though Wang Zhengfei has a lot of money, there is still a big difference between the business world and the entertainment industry.
Suddenly the press conference became lively, with many reporters asking questions.
