Chapter 1359: Speak boldly, I won't do anything to you!
The first two teaser trailers for "Jurassic Park" all caused a sensation, raising the expectations of Japanese movie fans for this film to the peak...
Even after the heat passed, there were still people discussing how tall the Brachiosaurus would be, how domineering the T-Rex would be, and what kind of dinosaurs were actually oviparous.
Some people were even thinking about raising a small dinosaur as a pet...
Thanks to Naoki Nagayama, the sales of many books and picture albums about prehistoric times rose a wave~
At this time, the third wave of promotion prepared by Naoki Nagayama also quietly went online!
Fuji TV had already broadcast the first two trailers, and this third trailer naturally chose to be broadcast on Fuji TV as well.
So, during the broadcast gap of the prime-time TV series "I Really Want to Hug You," which would usually broadcast advertisements and the like, and the audience could take the opportunity to go to the bathroom or something...
But today, the suddenly inserted picture made people unable to leave for a while!
"That is..."
Looking at the person panting in terror behind the shop window on TV, Tatsu Takenaka widened his eyes.
"Michael Jackson?!"
Before he could recover, a clucking sound suddenly came from outside the screen, making his hair stand on end for a while... and at this time, Michael Jackson on the screen was even holding his breath in terror...
Immediately, a cold vertical pupil suddenly appeared behind the glass, and the pliers-like mouth full of sharp teeth opened and closed slightly, making a hair-raising clucking sound... This was a Velociraptor!
Tatsu Takenaka in front of the TV was scared into holding his breath by this realistic scene, watching Michael Jackson take out a fire extinguisher from the cabinet to prepare to fight back.
The Velociraptor seemed to sense that someone was hiding behind the shop window, and in an instant, it smashed through the glass with its head, making a clattering sound... Michael Jackson also raised the fire extinguisher, preparing for a life-and-death strike...
And just at this moment, a roar came from outside the screen. On the TV screen, one could only see a T-Rex head that occupied the entire screen fall down with a swoosh, and with lightning speed, it bit the Velociraptor that was hunting and then retracted!
After a few chews, blood splashed all over the shop, and until the heavy footsteps of bang, bang went far away, only Michael Jackson's terrified figure remained...
Until the end... the logo of "Jurassic Park" was revealed~
"What the!!!"
Tatsu Takenaka, who had been holding his breath, finally breathed again.
"Is this... a trailer for 'Jurassic Park'?!"
"They actually invited Michael Jackson to star in it?!"
"This is really... this is really..."
At this very moment, with the burst of adrenaline, Tatsu Takenaka felt his whole body trembling, and an impulse he didn't know where it came from or where it was going was stuck in his chest...
He directly took the landline phone on the side and dialed his friend...
"Moshi Moshi..."
"Yagi! Look at the TV quickly... do you know? Michael Jackson actually participated in 'Jurassic Park'!!!"
"???"
Yagi Yasushi on the other end of the phone was full of confusion, but under the urging of his good friend, he still turned on the TV... This promotional video naturally wouldn't be broadcast on just one channel!
Nor would it be broadcast only once!
So on such a night, more and more people saw the third trailer of "Jurassic Park"!
Naoki Nagayama actually invited Michael Jackson to film a promotional video?!
Such an unexpected combination immediately caused a huge discussion!
From last night, this desire for discussion had been lingering in the hearts of the audience. If there were things like Weibo or Moments at this time, it might have already been swiped, and the heat might have already ranked first!
Early the next morning, such a discussion exploded directly. Among students, white-collar workers, workers, and even housewives, everyone was discussing this trailer~
"Michael Jackson just came out like this!" "He seems really scared..." "Did he really participate?!"
"Scared me, when that Velociraptor appeared!" "My child was scared to tears!"
"Behind the fierce monster is an even fiercer monster!"
"Too realistic!" "It's like it was really bitten off!" "..."
"Jurassic Park finally lost control, and the dinosaurs started attacking each other! The people inside must also..."
"..."
Even the morning news mentioned this. The female news anchor also said that she saw the trailer at night and was scared... and specifically explained that this film might be a bit scary, hoping that the audience would watch it according to their age...
Speaking of which, "Jurassic Park" hadn't finished editing, so the rating hadn't come down yet... but there weren't many bloody or erotic scenes, the dinosaurs were just a bit scary, so it probably wouldn't be restricted to 18+!
By noon, the related discussions about Michael Jackson and "Jurassic Park" had risen directly from the general public to the entertainment industry.
Even directors and artists who had filmed countless movies and TV shows became increasingly curious about this film~
Some people even called Shuyou to ask if they had really reached a cooperation with Michael Jackson...
As Eiichiro Watanabe, who was in charge of promotional work, came to the third-floor editing room with a smile on his face after organizing the morning data briefing, ready to report to Naoki Nagayama personally.
And when he knocked on the door of the editing room, he was surprised to find that the originally spacious editing room was actually full of people...
Besides the editors and the special effects team... he also saw directors like Masataka Komori, and even Otomo Yoshimura was among them!!!
"Eiichiro? What's the matter?"
Naoki Nagayama saw Eiichiro Watanabe and asked.
"Ah... I'm here to report on the effect of the trailer promotion..."
Eiichiro Watanabe walked to Naoki Nagayama's side and handed over the briefing data.
"After the trailer was broadcast, the estimated viewership exceeded 20%... this is what each TV station estimated..."
"In addition, the hot-line calls received by each TV station showed an exponential increase after the advertisement was broadcast..."
"In the morning, our propaganda department conducted a random survey, and more than 70% of the respondents on the street said they had heard of the third trailer of 'Jurassic Park'..."
"..."
Listening to the subordinate's report, Naoki Nagayama was also very satisfied.
This time, inviting Michael Jackson to participate really raised the exposure by a level!
The original simple dinosaur movie promotion directly turned into a joint hype between the international pop king and Jurassic Park, making all the media in Japan, and even foreign media, start promoting it.
"Well, very good."
Naoki Nagayama praised Eiichiro Watanabe.
"The subsequent press releases should also be sent out according to the rhythm..."
"Hai!"
Eiichiro Watanabe naturally nodded in agreement, and at this moment, Tomoyuki Nishimoto, who was debugging the machine, shouted:
"Naoki-san, the projector is ready!"
"Is it ready?" Naoki Nagayama looked toward the small screen. "Good, then prepare to play it!"
Turning his head and seeing Eiichiro Watanabe's curious gaze, he said:
"Eiichiro, stay and watch too... this is the preliminary edited 'Jurassic Park' full film, the special effects are already done..."
"After watching it, maybe you can have new insights and do the publicity better!"
"... This... is it already finished editing?!"
Eiichiro Watanabe was full of surprise. Originally, he thought it would need to be finished editing by early March.
"Well... there are still some adjustments to the opening and closing credits that haven't been added... but it can be watched roughly!"
Naoki Nagayama gestured for him to find a chair to sit down, then turned off the lights.
"Anyway... let's just make do and watch it first!"
This was originally for the internal viewing of the editing group, but he didn't expect the news to leak out, and many people requested to watch it... even Otomo Yoshimura was attracted, putting down his work to watch...
Eiichiro Watanabe sat in the back obediently, and when the lights in the small screening room dimmed, the small screen started to light up~
First, it was a group of excavation teams digging out a dinosaur fossil while digging a tunnel, and there was actually an amber with a blood-sucking mosquito inside...
The story started from here!
Paleontologist Harrison was invited to come and investigate the special situation of Jurassic Park...
After arriving at Jurassic Island, he saw the lifelike Brachiosaurus...
The injured Triceratops...
The T-Rex...
The Velociraptor...
The group of dragons chasing...
Escaping from the dense forest...
The thrilling journey of "Jurassic Park" appeared before his eyes: the lifelike Brachiosaurus, the honest Triceratops, the cunning Velociraptor, the fierce T-Rex...
All of this greatly shocked Eiichiro Watanabe's heart. He had never known that living dinosaurs were like this!
And the thrilling plot made his eyes unable to move away from the small screen...
During the particularly thrilling segments, he even held his breath and accelerated his heartbeat along with the hero and heroine!
Others in the editing room had more or less come into contact with the original materials, and even made special effects shots step by step, so they didn't look so excited when watching the finished film. Although they didn't speak immediately after watching, they were also a bit amazed by the final result...
And the only one similar to Eiichiro Watanabe was probably Otomo Yoshimura.
At this time, his face was a bit distorted, and his forehead was even sweating... it was completely like playing a high-speed roller coaster~
He was also watching the full film for the first time, and he was completely attracted, and even held his urine for more than an hour... this was very difficult for him at his age!
"Sumimasen! Good movie... excuse me..."
So after the screening was nearing the end, Otomo Yoshimura was the first to stand up and walk quickly toward the outside of the editing room...
"..."
After this interruption, the atmosphere in the editing room became lively from the original silence, and there were even some laughs.
"Alright, everyone has finished watching this movie, you can start to express your views!"
Naoki Nagayama clapped his hands to control the rhythm and then asked for everyone's opinions.
"Very perfect, completely reached our original expectations!"
Masataka Komori was the first to answer.
"These special effects shots are perfectly connected, and the plot narrative is also very smooth..."
"Well... anything else?"
Naoki Nagayama nodded and continued to ask.
At this time, Munao Matsuo spoke:
"Naoki-san, the plot of this movie has no urine points throughout. Not only does it give people a realistic dinosaur, but even the dinosaur ecology is created very perfectly..."
"The T-Rex inside is the creature at the top of the food chain... when establishing its status in the ecological chain, it is very reasonable!"
Tomoyuki Nishimoto also continued:
"The combination of sound and light special effects is very good. The dinosaur roars throughout the process and the screams of tourists are not distorted..."
"In short, it is very perfect!"
"..."
Listening to this series of praises and affirmations, Naoki Nagayama had to shake his head to stop them:
"Guys, we are looking for shortcomings now, not listening to you flattering me!"
As he said this, he looked at the only audience member who had never been in contact with editing:
"Maybe you are all professionals, let's ask for the opinions of real audiences!"
"Eiichiro, what do you think of this movie, is there anything that needs to be adjusted?!"
"!!!"
Hearing this question, Eiichiro Watanabe tightened his whole body!
You ask me this kind of question?!
Looking at the eyes of the directors, editors, and special effects artists surrounding him, Eiichiro Watanabe only felt that he had fallen into the movie he had just watched, and all kinds of carnivorous dinosaurs were looking at him with the eyes of looking at food...
And among the two most terrifying eyes, Naoki Nagayama's eyes were clearly the T-Rex standing in the C position!
"Uh... Naoki-san, I'm just a layman, how can I understand film editing!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter!"
Naoki Nagayama walked to his side and patted his shoulder.
"We just want to listen to the audience's opinions! When it's previewed, there will be fewer places to change..."
Other personnel also spoke one after another:
"Yeah, yeah!" "We cherish audience opinions very much!" "Speak boldly!" "We won't be angry!" "Won't do anything to you!"
"..."
Eiichiro Watanabe swallowed his saliva...
Someone just said they would do something to me, right?!
It seems that if I don't say something today, I might not be able to walk out of the editing room!
"Naoki-san, as a pure audience member, I only stand from my own perspective, maybe what I say is wrong... don't blame me... just listen to it..."
Eiichiro Watanabe first added a few layers of armor to himself.
"This 'Jurassic Park' indeed gives the audience who watches it for the first time a very big shock, and the plot is also very compact..."
"However... is it too compact?
I just saw the plot of the Velociraptor chasing the children in the kitchen, and I didn't have time to breathe..."
"It was also very nervous afterward... my mood was always tense..."
Naoki Nagayama listened to Eiichiro Watanabe's feedback, and he was also thinking in his heart, feeling that it made some sense... If the spirit is always tense, it is indeed not good for the viewing experience...
Just like a horror movie, before the horror plot, the audience must be allowed to experience a soothing plot first, so that the subsequent horror plot will have more impact!
And the "Jurassic Park" he edited, because there were many more special effects shots than the original version, made the rhythm too tight!
These professional editing personnel themselves had a higher threshold than the audience, so they didn't notice it!
"Well... Eiichiro's words make sense!"
Naoki Nagayama praised.
"So in the subsequent adjustments, the pauses in the middle must be arranged well, so that the audience's emotions can be soothed, and then stimulated..."
"Masataka-kun, write it down..."
"Hai!"
After finishing, Naoki Nagayama continued to look at Eiichiro Watanabe, his eyes expectant...
"Eiichiro, anything else?!"
"... Nothing!"
Eiichiro Watanabe shook his head quickly.
"I only have this shallow opinion..."
"It doesn't matter, say more!"
"Really nothing! Not a drop left!"
"..."
Finally, after Otomo Yoshimura returned from the bathroom, Eiichiro Watanabe was able to escape from the editing room smoothly.
After returning to the propaganda department, looking at the promotional press release on the table, Eiichiro Watanabe's head was filled with the shock of the movie he had just finished watching... and then he instantly felt that these exaggerated words were completely insufficient!!!
For this movie, it would be completely fine to be even more exaggerated!!!
Thinking this way, he started to change the press release...
When his colleagues passed by and glanced at it, they saw exaggerated vocabulary of the highest level such as "once in a century," "breaking through the sky," "shocking the world," "shocking the eyeballs," "invincible in the world," "..."!
"... Uh... Watanabe-san... is it a bit wrong?"
