Chapters 1364 and 1373: A mere trailer can generate such a buzz?!
Chapters 1364 and 1373: A mere trailer can spark such a heated discussion?!
While watching TV with Natsuka in his arms that evening, Naoki Nagayama waited for the movie trailer to play.
The huge TV screen made the images in the trailer incredibly clear, and the oppressive feeling of heavy footsteps seemed to be right around us. When the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly appeared, the little one in my arms was startled and quickly used Naoki Nagayama's hand to shield his face.
"Roar~~"
The roar of the Tyrannosaurus Rex caused Yingtaro, who was originally huddled nearby, to flee behind the sofa. Even Nyantaro in the cat bed suddenly arched his back and looked at the screen warily.
"Akina, isn't that incredibly realistic!"
Naoki Nagayama said smugly to Akina,
"These are special effects shots from Jurassic Park!!!"
"Yes! Absolutely amazing!"
Akina was naturally not scared by a trailer, but she was amazed by how lifelike the Tyrannosaurus Rex looked, as if it had really been resurrected from the Jurassic era.
The sudden appearance and roar of that creature was so striking that it felt like a Tyrannosaurus Rex was about to jump out of the TV screen. It gave me quite a fright!
However, she looked at her daughter, who was peeking from behind Naoki Nagayama's hand, and was somewhat surprised:
"I can't believe Hana-chan wasn't scared to tears! Such a terrifying monster!"
Naoki Nagayama looked down at Natsuka, pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks, and smiled:
"Hasn't Hua Jiang been to the Jurassic Island filming location before? She's seen Tyrannosaurus Rex models before. She was a little scared at first, but afterwards she really enjoyed touching the Tyrannosaurus Rex's teeth and eyes, didn't she?"
"That's why you're not too scared now!"
"Ah, it seems that's true."
Akina also reminisced about their vacation time on the island.
"Hua Jiang is no longer afraid of dinosaurs."
"Yes, yes~"
Looking up at his adorable daughter, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but lean down and kiss her. Everyone says you should raise a daughter!
"By the way, how's Jurassic Island doing now?"
Akina asked,
"Is it all over and there's no one left?"
"Of course not, the location was left there even after filming was finished."
Naoki Nagayama explained,
"The sequel will also be filmed there, and there's also the construction of a theme park. We're already at the end of the second phase, and the third phase is about to begin."
"It is expected to open by the middle of the year!"
Upon hearing this, Akina exclaimed:
"There will definitely be many movie fans going there to take photos!"
"Haha, yes! A movie can make a tourist attraction popular!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,
"In the future, everyone will know what it means to 'drive industry through culture'!"
Prime Minister Doi's planning team is currently studying a "culture-based nation" policy. Jurassic Park might become the best example. Once everyone sees the actual benefits, the feasibility of this policy will definitely be greatly enhanced!
The first trailer for Jurassic Park immediately caught the attention of Japan upon its release.
The night before last, because it was late, everyone could only discuss it with their families. But the next day, starting early in the morning, everyone in my WeChat Moments was talking about this trailer!
Housewives who had seen it chatted among themselves, saying, "It's so vivid, it feels so real." Students who had seen it discussed how imposing and ferocious the Tyrannosaurus Rex was on their way to school or between classes. Adults who had seen the trailer discussed what technology Jurassic Park used and how much it cost on their way to work or in the workplace.
As the trailer began to be shown on TV screens in department stores, subway stations, and other channels, the discussion became increasingly heated, and more and more topics emerged!
Some people are eagerly awaiting the official release date, some are discussing whether the Tyrannosaurus Rex is distorted, and some have even bought the Jurassic Park novels to explore whether cloning dinosaurs is really feasible!
Even within the entertainment industry, the trailer caught everyone off guard.
In the new year, while other celebrity scandals, new idol dramas, and variety show productions are all in full swing, an unreleased movie unexpectedly stole the spotlight!
"How can a trailer from a tree enthusiast generate such a huge buzz?!"
"So what if the visuals are more realistic, the Tyrannosaurus Rex is more ferocious, and the special effects are more outstanding? What's the big deal!"
"If only my celebrity had the same level of popularity for Tyrannosaurus Rex right now!"
"Humans are no match for Tyrannosaurus Rex!! The entertainment industry has finally reached a point where we don't even recognize it anymore."
"It's been a long time since there's been such a captivating trending topic since the New Year!" "Can't we find a way to let our artist ride this wave of popularity?!"
"."
Everyone started figuring out how to jump on this bandwagon.
Meanwhile, people in the film industry began analyzing the trailer frame by frame. They showed great interest in the latest special effects technology!
"Wow, that's amazing!" "You can't even tell it's an inanimate object!" "Compared to previous special effects, it's a whole era ahead!" "Naoki Nagayama, that guy, he's really something!"
Producers, directors, and editing teams from Toho, Toei, Shochiku, and even Kadokawa began holding emergency meetings to discuss whether to follow the example of Kiyotomi and introduce the latest special effects technology.
Naoki Nagayama, who was in the Tree Friends Building, was also being harassed relentlessly!
In the office, Naoki Nagayama helplessly held up the receiver, answering Haruki Kadokawa's call:
"The technology used by Chunshu Sang is simply not mature enough. We built the 3D data of the dinosaurs from scratch, bit by bit."
"It simply cannot be used for any other image!"
"I know, I know, I know that Haruki-san isn't short of money, but it's not a matter of money, it's that I really don't have any!"
"If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself at TreeFriends! I'm adjusting the special effects shots myself on the computer!"
"."
As the head of Kadokawa Pictures, Haruki Kadokawa is relatively young and has a stronger pursuit of cinematic art.
They called early this morning, wanting to ask a fellow tree enthusiast about purchasing related technology.
"But how can I sell something I don't own!"
Naoki Nagayama reluctantly declined.
"Once the production of 'Jurassic Park' is finished, the special effects team will be fully trained, and we can lend them to Haruki-san then."
“It’s a deal then!” Haruki Kadokawa immediately agreed on the phone. “I’ll use even better special effects in my next movie!”
"Of course."
But the money can't be too little!
The conversation between the two ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere, and just as Naoki Nagayama was about to go downstairs to continue working, Otomo Yoshimura knocked on the door and came in.
"Naoki-san, do you know how many phone calls I received this morning?!"
Not many people know Naoki Nagayama's private phone number, but as the CEO of Shuyu, who deals with socialites like Otomo Yoshimura, his phone number is known to many.
As soon as the trailer was released, many people came to offer their well wishes, with comments like "May the movie be a huge success," "May we collaborate in the future," and "May we all be happy together."
"Hahaha, isn't this great?!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said to Otomo Yoshimura,
"It seems that the special effects company we mentioned before has great potential!"
"makes sense."
Yoshimura Otomo also smiled. He used to have some doubts about opening a subsidiary company specializing in movie special effects. After all, the Japanese market wasn't that big, and how many people would actually hire a special effects company?
I never expected that the movie wouldn't even be released yet, and just a trailer would already have so many people excited.
"Just one trailer has prompted so many people to call and inquire."
By this time, Yoshimura Hirotomo was quite confident.
"We don't know how much impact the movie will have once it's officially released!"
"However, since it's having such an effect, shouldn't we increase the publicity? Naoki-san, should we change the plan for the preview screening that you mentioned before?!"
For this preview screening, Naoki Nagayama wanted to pull off a little trick. He wanted to prohibit taking photos and videos during the screening, and keep it a secret so that the audience at the preview screening could only arouse the curiosity of the rest of the audience through their writings, interviews, and exclamations.
"change?"
Naoki Nagayama paused for a moment.
"No need to change it, the preview screening doesn't need to be changed."
"However, we could have increased the scale of our previous promotional efforts."
"We still have two trailers left, so we'll increase the promotional efforts for those two trailers. We'll also arrange closed-door interviews with other film critics to discuss the special effects technology."
"In short, the atmosphere should be both mysterious and novel."
"That feeling of being able to see only a glimpse of a dragon, yet knowing there's a dragon hidden in the clouds!"
"Finally, it will attract audiences to the theater to watch the whole film!"
Naoki Nagayama, born from the information age, knows exactly how to promote himself! You know, even spoilers for Marvel superhero series are meticulously planned; fake news can even be used as a promotional strategy.
"Mmm, no problem!"
"Oh right! Naoki-san!"
Thinking of this, Yoshimura Otomo suddenly said,
"Should we inform the film's actors not to give too many interviews, and even if they do, not to discuss the specifics of the film?"
"Haha, let them say what they want!"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head. The plot was already written in the novel; only some adaptations had been made.
"Anyway, they don't know exactly what the special effects scenes are like!"
Even now, I don't know the whole story!
That's not quite right. The editing work is already more than halfway done, and some classic shots have already been cut out!
With the memories in his head, Naoki Nagayama has basically completed the scenes for the entire "Jurassic Park" movie and is just waiting to put them together after a while!
Has the specific release date for Naoki-san been confirmed?
Yoshimura Otomo continued to ask,
"Many people have inquired about this. We need to prepare more votes from people with connections!"
"I'm not sure, maybe the end of March!"
Naoki Nagayama gave a rough estimate.
"I'll try to finish editing by mid-March and start test screenings!"
"There are still almost two months left."
Yoshimura Daitomo was astonished.
"The audience has been waiting anxiously!"
"Haha, don't worry!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,
"Their hearts will be broken around Valentine's Day in mid-February! My novel, 'I'm Sorry, I Love You,' is about to be published!"
"!!! That novel!"
Yoshimura Otomo naturally knew about it, and had even read it himself. To be honest, even though he was so old and had experienced so much, he still felt his eyes redden after reading it.
Sigh. He seems to be a naive person at heart, still young at heart!
"Yes, the trial print should be out in the next couple of days."
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,
"I'll send a few of Otomo-san's books to my family when the time comes!"
"."
If we showed that to them, the floodwaters would overflow!
After chatting for a while longer, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly went downstairs and returned to the editing room.
The editing process actually takes more and more time as you go on!
The Prime Minister's official residence, the Parliament House.
Prime Minister Doi's staff is actively discussing Shuichi Itō's "building a nation on culture" policy. After so many days of discussion, the policy direction, which was originally only a preliminary outline, has begun to gradually become more complete.
It's pretty much a first draft already!
Of course, for a policy proposal to pass, more work is required, such as submitting it to higher authorities, holding hearings, supplementing detailed rules, and voting on its approval.
However, with the ruling party now holding a majority of seats, the possibility of Doi Tagako implementing a certain policy is still very high.
After reviewing the initial draft in her office, Doi Tagako was quite satisfied. She smiled and looked at Itō Shuichi:
"Shuichi-san, thank you for your hard work!"
"Not at all, not at all. It's just my duty!"
Shuichi Itō looked somewhat tired, but his eyes were very bright.
Because of this proposal, he has already established a small team within the Social Democratic Party, with a group of young members joining, including even a member of parliament like Yoshihiko Noda. This has greatly solidified his position.
At least now, his words carry weight within his staff!
Sure enough, within the system, all you need is a pretext to do something, and you can build up your own team! That's the meaning of the saying "you need a legitimate reason to do something."
"Once this proposal is finalized, Xiu Yisang will be credited with the greatest achievement!"
Doi Tagako smiled and encouraged Itō Shuichi. As a seasoned politician, she was adept at making empty promises.
"If the policy is approved, then Xiu Yisang will definitely receive the corresponding reward!"
"Mr. Doi, you're joking. This proposal is the culmination of everyone's hard work."
Shuichi Itō took the opportunity to boast about his small team's achievements and, incidentally, flatter his superior.
"Fortunately, the policy was passed, all thanks to Mr. Doi's full support!"
Look, he's only been in politics for a short time, but his ability to manage upwards has improved by leaps and bounds!
"Haha, Shuichi-san is too modest."
"Where, where."
After offering a few words of praise, Doi Tagako moved on to other things:
"By the way, the information the Cabinet compiled today mentioned something very interesting: the trailer for Tree Friends Pictures' new movie has sparked a lot of discussion!"
"Does Shuichi-san know?!"
The Prime Minister receives a daily newsletter from the Cabinet every morning, keeping him informed about major domestic and international events, much like a daily news alert in a future QQ group. Surprisingly, today they mentioned the trailer for "Jurassic Park."
"Ah! It's the trailer for Jurassic Park!"
Shuichi Itō smiled.
"The new movie is excellent; the trailer only reveals a fraction of it!"
"Has Shuichi-san seen the whole movie?" Doi Tagako asked curiously.
"No, no. Naoki-san hasn't finished editing yet!"
Itō Shuichi shook his head.
"I only went to Jurassic Island for filming!"
"Oh? There really is a Jurassic Island?!"
"Haha, it's just a filming location; it'll become a theme park in the future!"
Shuichi Itō explained,
"When it opens, it might be just like Disneyland!"
"Then I'll have to go check it out!"
"If Mr. Doi wants to go, I would be more than happy to oblige."
"."
Their casual conversation quickly came to an end, and after Shuichi Itō left the Prime Minister's office, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I never expected that even the trailer for Naoki-san's new movie would attract the attention of the Cabinet!"
"Speaking of those movies, the cabinet must have taken notice when they were released. I wonder what the former Nakasone thought of those reports."
(Nakasone in the hospital: Another new movie? But what does it have to do with me? My eyes are too blurry to see clearly.)
