my life is running wild

Chapter 2 I know everything, this is a movie promotional video

"A promotional video, to put it bluntly, is an advertisement, and it's our business! However, the cost"

"Yes! Directly treat the game characters as actors and the game as a stage.

The expression change can be done by changing the face, and then use the screen recorder to take a picture, edit it, and add it to the music. "

It sounds simple, but it requires multitasking. While manipulating multiple units, you also need to move the camera, which is equivalent to one person doing the work of a crew.

However, before Liu Chengyin realized these problems, his hands had completely carried out his will!
When the ten fingers strike the keyboard hundreds of times per second, everything in the entire game world dances with it.

Metal crash!

Bombardment!

The thrilling dodge action between life and death.

Charge impassionedly.

Through various mirrors and light and shadows, various magnificent atmospheres can be rendered according to the small plots that come to mind.

Coupled with some exciting music.

When the editing of a 10-minute short film was completed, a ray of dawn hit Liu Chengyin's computer desk through the glass window of the dormitory.

A tear fell from Liu Chengyin's eye socket.

My eyes are a little sore and sleepy, but fortunately I don’t have to go to class during my graduation project
Go to sleep after work, don't die suddenly.

Before going to bed, Liu Chengyin Guangsu registered an account on the game platform and major video sites, and uploaded a promotional video, the title of which directly used the game's name "Zongheng Xinghai Dream".

Then the game was uploaded to the game platform, priced at 10 yuan.

All games uploaded on the official platform are reviewed first, and can only be released after passing the review. The review is usually completed in about ten days.

However, if it is a game that is particularly concerned, users on the platform can urge the platform to expedite the review by throwing a "renewal ticket" for the game. After the acceleration, the review can be completed in as little as two days at the fastest time.

Promotional videos also need to be reviewed, but compared to games, the video review time can be ignored. In just a few minutes, the promotional videos of "Zongheng Xinghai Dream" appeared on major video sites.

When Liu Chengyin, who played games all night, lay down, countless people with normal routines stood up.

Adults go to work, students go to class.

On the way to school or work, on the bus or on the subway, people with nothing to do take out their mobile phones, read novels, listen to music, and watch videos on video sites.

During the peak hours of the morning, someone began to accidentally discover a video called "Dream of the Stars and Seas".

The headline managed to get a few people interested, and then it went off guard.

No money anyway.

Unanimously, they were stunned.

At this moment, their souls seemed to be sucked in by the mobile phone in front of them, such a small box, and entered a new world.
It wasn't until 10 minutes later, when the video ended, that they were driven back to reality as if they had just woken up from a dream.

After waking up, they hurriedly voted, rewarded, collected, and liked. After doing their part to ensure that the UP owner would not starve to death, some people couldn’t help but click on the replay, wanting to replay it a million times, and some Instead, he plunged into the comment area, venting his strong desire to express.

"When will the movie be released? Can I book tickets @"Zonghengxinghaimeng"official?"

"Have you noticed? The actors in it are not real people, real people can't be so perfect! This is simply a god-like CG technology!"

"Is this considered 3D animation? Huaguo Animation, stand up!"

"It's so dazzling! The machinery here is very muscular, how can I describe it? In short, it's amazing! Huaguo's special effects have stood up!"

"Is the film production ready? Is there enough publicity funds? Do you accept advertising placement? Read the private message, let's talk about investment? @《Zonghengxinghaimeng》official"

"Why are you so sure that this is a movie promotion? Can't it be a game?"

"Upstairs, this can't be a game promotional video, okay? If it's a game promotional video, then maybe there isn't even a shot showing the gameplay, and it's all plot clips?"

"Also, the movements and expressions of these characters are too detailed, smooth and natural, and cannot be completed by the current rigid system program control at all. I guess it is a real-person role-playing, and then the motion capture takes shape. This special effect, one second The cost starts from [-]!"

"It's less than 20, I'll press [-]."

"It's less than 20, I'll double it, 40."

"One million, no less"

""Xinghai" is a big hit! Flip the lighthouse monkey to the dock!"

Perhaps it was because Liu Chengyin was too sleepy at the time, his mind was not clear, and he rushed to sleep, which led him to write a sentence ""A Dream of the Stars" at the end of the video with special effects.

And these texts can only show that this is a promotional film, and it does not mean that "Zongheng Xinghai Dream" is a game at all.

Since there is no indication, it is easy to associate.

Usually, as a brand-new game without a “predecessor”, the promotional video usually shows the gameplay to let others know the gameplay of the game and attract the target group. After all, players usually play games to be interested in the gameplay.

In fact, there is also a gameplay display part in the promotional video.

As a student majoring in advertising, how could he not know that product features should be displayed in the promotional video?

In the video, there are many shots of Liu Chengyin manipulating characters to dodge attacks and obstacles, pick up props, and use props when he tries to play the game. Like a movie screen, the cheap modules hidden under the gorgeous skin can't be seen at all.

In addition to the gameplay, Liu Chengyin also relied on these posed scenes to cut out some "pantomime" plots without lines.

This is actually very common, a common method of game advertising.

However, when filming small plots, in order to make the characters more vivid, Liu Chengyin gave up the cheap model itself with a cheap action program, and instead used the management authority of the game to directly control every aspect of the character through manual manipulation. There are two movable points, and the character can be manipulated like a puppet.

Under Liu Chengyin's control, the movements of each character are very natural, as if every character in it is played by a real person, and then completed with motion capture special effects.

You know, in game promotional videos these days, even the main characters only have a few fixed movements and a few exaggerated and stiff expressions.

Because of factors such as the plot, "no gameplay", vivid characters as if real-life motion capture and other factors, "knowledgeable" people judged by experience that this is a movie promotional film.

Even if a "knowledgeable" Xiaobai guesses the correct answer, he will "return to the right path" early in the popular science of "knowledgeable" people and echoes of others.

No matter what, the promotional video of "Dream of the Stars and Seas" exploded!
The ridiculously high rate of likes and bookmarks made the intelligent systems of major video sites quickly notice the existence of this video, and after checking the possibility of brushing traffic, it was identified as a "high-quality video" and placed in the appropriate Recommended position.

With the recommendation slot, the data of "Dream of Across the Star Sea" began to explode!
After the morning peak passed, the likes of major video sites soared to more than several thousand, some even exceeded ten thousand.

This result allowed the video to be changed to a better recommendation position.

Under this mechanism, the recommendation position of the video is getting better and better, the number of views per unit time is getting bigger and bigger, and the growth rate of likes is exploding exponentially!
A few hours later, the number of likes has reached tens of thousands, and even more than [-].

The fire is still spreading!

20, [-]
The video that suddenly went viral quickly attracted the attention of some people in the industry with a sensitive sense of smell.

Zhang Chuan is a well-known film critic in the industry. He usually uses the identity of "Zhang San's knife" to comment on some movies on various websites and video websites by posting comments or making short videos.

He is well-known in the industry for his poisonous mouth, and he has practiced the unique skill of "knife mouth" to perfection on the spot. His relatives don't recognize him, he will see blood when he sees blood, seal his throat when he sees blood, monkey Sai Lei!

Although his mouth is poisonous, Zhang Chuan's professionalism has been recognized by the industry. Excluding those heartbreaking adjectives in the comments, it can be said that it is relatively fair in general. Coupled with his unique style, this makes him popular online. Fans.

Whenever a new movie comes out for promotion, there will be some people who are excited about the promotion of the new movie but are worried about wasting money by stepping on the pit, and ask him to come out to help "test drugs" and clear mines.

Because there are so many people staring at him on the Internet, the companies behind the movies that have been bloodied by the knife in his mouth are not easy to move him casually.

On this day, Zhang Chuan started to eat brunch after washing up.

As a freelancer and independent producer, he often stays up late looking for inspiration without rushing the morning rush. He usually wakes up after ten o'clock, and then eats breakfast and lunch together.

According to the usual habits, he took out his mobile phone, opened the short movie review video he released yesterday, and prepared to eat through fans' comments on his works.

His newly released short film is about a recently released Star Wars movie called "Ring of the Atmosphere 2", which is a big production from the western lighthouse country Monkey Laywood.

Because of the success of the previous work "Ring Atmosphere 1", this sequel has been full of attention and expectations since it was released a year ago.

As soon as the result is opened:

""Xinghai" is a big hit! Flip the lighthouse monkey to the dock!"

"The Light of Chinese Animation!"

"The door to China's science fiction has opened!"

"Zhang San, take a quick look at "Xinghai". They all boasted so much that I couldn't get over the excitement. I need your knife to help me calm down."

"Zhang San, tell me quickly, is "A Dream of the Stars" really that powerful, can it break 20 billion at the box office?"

Zhang Chuan almost thought he was on the wrong channel.

What the hell?

Why is this page talking about another movie?
Could it be that the film producers who were stabbed by him deliberately sent navy troops to make trouble?

Zhang Chuan intends to report to the customer service of the platform.

But when he exited the page and came to the homepage of the platform, he suddenly noticed that familiar word appeared on the recommendation position on the homepage - "Zongheng Xinghaimeng".

Could it be that the navy takes the rhythm?
For a while, Zhang Chuan became very interested in the "Dream of the Stars and Seas", which suddenly exploded after waking up, and couldn't help but click on the video.
