Chapter 404 You are just one step away from becoming an artist
Promotional video?
New Paradise Wangxian?
After hearing this, Zheng Yuanxian was still puzzled, but he still took his cell phone and started searching.
I wouldn’t know this without searching, but I’d be shocked if I searched.
The promotional video has only been released for an hour, but its popularity is frighteningly high. It has more than 100,000 likes on the Soyin platform alone, and there are more than 4,000 comments.
Of course, whether a promotional video for a TV series is popular or not, Zheng Yuanxian feels that it has nothing to do with him.
So, he just sighed, "This guy is so popular," and then started to look at it quietly.
The video starts playing.
Slightly mysterious music sounded, and several aerial shots of Wangxian Valley were switched back and forth.
Then a mechanical but non-mechanical male voice came: "Hello, dear passengers, welcome to the new paradise. We will arrive at the reception area of Wangxian Valley."
If there are people on earth here, they will definitely feel that this sound is very familiar. Because, he looks very much like Moss in "The Wandering Earth".
Along with this sound, the scene turned to show two men standing together. The camera followed their subjective perspectives and looked around the technological reception area.
Gulishati, wearing a white tight skirt, appeared in front of the two of them, stretched out her hand and said: "You two, I am your receptionist."
The music suddenly became louder at this moment.
A simple ship-like aircraft appeared in the screen. The camera moved forward and the two men had changed into ancient costumes.
They were lying on the side of the boat, looking down at Wangxian Valley below.
Amidst the gusts of strong wind, one of the men said excitedly: "Wangxian Valley, the Xianxia theme park built by Moss Group, has more than 5,000 realistic intelligent robots of various forms and more than 100 story lines."
"The most important thing is that you can do whatever you want here!" Another man took over and laughed.
The screen switches again.
The heroine played by Lu Qanyao opened her eyes from the bed.
The next second, she was wearing coarse linen clothes and heading out carrying a bamboo basket filled with medicinal herbs.
At the door, she greeted her father who was cutting medicinal materials: "Dad, I heard yesterday that monks from outside are coming today. I will go to the market to sell some medicinal materials."
"Be careful not to conflict with them."
"Hey!" Lu Qinyao turned around and waved with a sweet smile.
The camera turned again.
The two men looked at Lu Qinyao who was setting up a stall on the ground from a distance, and whispered: "Is it her?"
"It's her, I've seen her in the promotional video of the park, the little medical girl Qingyao."
The sound fell and the screen switched.
There were two other men standing in front of Lu Qinyao.
I saw them clasping their fists and saying, "Little fairy, we see you are graceful and graceful, with bright eyes and white teeth. Well... you are very beautiful anyway. Do you want to practice dual cultivation with my two brothers?"
As soon as these words came out, the camera first gave Lu Qinyao an extremely surprised and angry expression.
Then there was a scene of a bamboo basket falling to the ground, and the rhythm of the promotional video suddenly accelerated.
Fights, the park office area, and other main actors appear in other scenes constantly, and a disorderly and chaotic world quickly unfolds on the screen.
After these scenes ended, Lu Qinyao was seen in a firewood shed with disheveled hair and blood stains on her face, holding her clothes to cover her body.
Looking at the camera with a horrified expression, he kept shrinking to the corner: "No, no!"
The screen cuts to her subjective shot. The two men who just asked to practice double cultivation with her are wearing clothes and showing ferocious smiles.
The next second, one of the men struck with a sword.
The sound of "chi" was heard as the sound of a sharp weapon chopping meat was heard, and the screen went black.
Lu Qinyao woke up from the bed again. Her eyes were not frightened, nor did she look like she was having a nightmare. It seemed that what just happened never happened at all.
The background music of the promotional video also became soothing again, but this soothingness was filled with indescribable weirdness.
The scene switched again, Lu Qinyao put the bamboo basket on her back and went out.
Passing by the door, she said to her father who was cutting medicinal materials: "Dad, I heard someone said yesterday that monks from outside are coming today. I will go to the market to sell some medicinal materials."
"Be careful not to conflict with them."
"Hey!" Lu Qinyao turned around and waved with a sweet smile, just like before.
Then, the screen went completely black.
Subtitles begin to flash.
["New Paradise·Wangxian"]
【Xu Xiyu's works】
[On August 2, Tenyu Video was officially launched]
"It's gone now?" Zheng Yuanxian instinctively complained after watching it, no, it was so exciting, but now it's gone?
Obviously, the netizens who watched the promotional video had the same idea as him.
[Who are you looking down on? Just putting this little content makes it seem like there is no traffic]
[I’m going to give you a number, one hundred episodes at a time, don’t watch one episode after another like constipation, the donkeys in the production team don’t dare to rest like this]
[Brother, wake up, this drama only has 10 episodes in total]
[I just said that Ah Dan has an unspeakable secret. There are 12 episodes in "The Beginning" and 10 episodes in "New Paradise·Wangxian". Could it be that there are only 8 episodes to be filmed some other time, which makes him shorter and shorter]
[It is also possible that they plan to film several seasons and imitate the model of American TV series]
[Brothers, I discovered something. Reality is really a place like Hope Immortal Valley! 】
Seeing this, Zheng Yuanxian was stunned and couldn't help but murmured: "Really or not, is it possible to hope for the Immortal Valley?"
As mentioned before, Wangxian Valley is a newly renovated scenic spot. When Lu Fengliang, the person in charge there, came to see Xu Xiyu, Wangxian Valley was still under construction and the contents inside had not been accepted yet.
Even now, there are still some things that have not been completed, and it is only in a trial operation state.
Therefore, even though Hua Qing mentioned that "New Paradise·Wangxian" would be filmed in Shangrao Wangxian Valley before when it officially announced the project, it did not attract the attention of many netizens.
Things are different now. More and more netizens are discovering that there really is a Valley of Hope. Combined with the sentence in the promotional video, "Wangxian Valley, the Xianxia theme park built by Moss Group, has more than 5,000 realistic intelligent robots of various forms and more than 100 story lines."
This immediately aroused people's interest.
A bunch of people started to leave comments on the official account of Wangxian Valley.
[Good guy, you are so proud. In order to promote the scenic spot, you directly asked Ah Dan to make a TV series, right? 】
[After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be a promotional video for a scenic spot? It’s gone, it’s gone, I won’t make leeks]
[What’s wrong with the promotional videos for scenic spots? Some dramas are so exaggerated, but the results are not as good as promotional videos. Is it enough to make the plot look good? 】
[If you are so self-conscious as a leek, you really belong to me]
[If you are so perseverant as a black man, you really deserve it]
[No, I don’t care who announced the promotional video. I just want to know, are there really more than 5,000 immersive robots in Wangxian Valley? 】
"Pfft~~ Street boy, it's so abstract. You can even ask this kind of question." Seeing this comment, Zheng Yuanxian couldn't help but feel happy.
However, he couldn't be happy the next second.
Because just after he habitually scrolled down the video, he suddenly discovered that the Huaqing official account and the Happy Valley official account jointly released another video.
The content of this video is very simple.
Meng Chengming stood in front of the camera and said: "Hello, viewers, the large-scale live-action immersive interactive drama "New Paradise: The Truman Show" starring me will be launched in the new park of Pengcheng Overseas Chinese Style Town in a week.
< br>
This drama uses movie viewing + real-person participation and interaction. Some tourists will have their own identities and scripts. It is expected to last 4 and a half hours. This is a brand new attempt, so I am very much looking forward to your arrival. ”
"What the hell?" Zheng Yuanxian was dumbfounded, "Wait a minute, no, no, weren't we just talking about "New Paradise·Wangxian"? What the hell is "New Paradise·The Truman Show"?"
< br>
He was dumbfounded, but netizens responded quickly.
[So, if I go, I will most likely act opposite you? 】
[Holy shit, have times developed like this? When I used to watch a play, I was close enough to the actors, but now I can go up and act by myself? 】
[Okay, okay, that’s how it should be. Why do I keep watching you guys act? It’s my turn now]
[I have a question. I have been unable to memorize texts since I was a child. What should I do if I can’t remember the script? 】
[Then I respectfully invite the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Actor Bodhisattva, Namo Acting Buddha, to take the upper body! 】
[Don’t invite me, just let me come if you can’t remember. I don’t believe that this kind of performance can have so many places]
[One thing to say, indeed, it is probably difficult to get tickets]
"What the fuck? No, how can you still play like this? Can Meng Chengming earn back his appearance fee?" Seeing this situation, Zheng Yuanxian was really incomprehensible.
He's right if he doesn't understand.
Since Lao Meng starred in "I'm Not the God of Medicine", his positioning has changed.
In his own words: "I, Meng, am a person who wants to be a performing artist."
Therefore, Xu Xiyu secretly organized him to rehearse "The Truman Show" and filmed some content at the same time.
This movie is quite a classic, but to be honest, it was a bit old when it was produced. There are some settings in it that may not be acceptable to current audiences, and it may not achieve a good box office effect.
Not to mention anything else, just the concept of "Thirty Years of The Truman Show" can be used to argue with the devil until death.
Because in reality, no one has been watching this kind of program for 30 years. I can’t help but think about it. The content of the program will be really boring, especially for people who are used to watching short videos and fast forwarding when watching dramas. .
But if The Truman World is turned into a real-life interactive immersive drama, the feeling will be different. Belonging is about breaking the fourth wall.
And "breaking the fourth wall" is the core of the IP of "New Paradise".
By then, whether they are onlookers or those participating in the performance, as long as they enter the theater, they will automatically enter the movie world.
At that moment, they will gain a common identity, that is, "audience". This audience refers to the audience in "The Truman Show."
All logical flaws and flaws in setting will be offset by the feeling brought by the blend of reality and plot.
In this way, everyone can fully experience the emotions and thoughts expressed in "The Truman Show".
This is actually the same as "Westworld".
The protagonists in these two works don't know that they are "actors" or that their lives are being "manipulated" by countless people.
They are manipulated and then break the manipulation. At the moment when they break the manipulation, the audience will gain great emotional resonance.
As long as the audience can resonate with it, the IP of "New Paradise" will be successful.
Once it is done, you can create more "New Paradise" stories and make them into movies, TV series, or even animations and games.
At the same time, you can also organize a performance team to perform offline.
Meng Chengming's appearance fee is expensive, but a mature performance team does not need Meng Chengming to perform.
Of course, we still don’t know whether IP will be successful or not.
Anyway, Zheng Yuanxian's heart was about to get cold.
On Earth, Chimelong only has two parks plus some hotels.
But on Blue Star's side, Chimelong is thinking about expanding its business content.
In other words, if it can be said that "New Paradise·Wangxian" can be said to have inappropriate subject matter. But Chimelong may not be unable to do this project that can be launched in the new park of an overseas Chinese-style town.
Even if it can't be done now, what if Huaqing releases another version of "New Paradise" in the future?
In other words, Huaqing can simply rely on Chimelong's current situation to tailor a "New Paradise" story? Who can say this accurately?
"It's over, I'm really going to get scolded now." Zheng Yuan showed his head getting bigger.
At this moment, a piece of news that troubled him even more appeared. "The Truman Show" released a link to purchase tickets.
When he saw the link, Zheng Yuanxian clicked on it without any hesitation, intending to grab a few tickets and take people there to experience it, and see if he could copy it... No, see if he could learn from it.
However, he was soon stunned.
Looking at the [Sold Out] prompt displayed on the screen, he couldn't help but said: "Holy shit, ten seconds, the tickets are gone now??!"
