Chapter 76: Super Bowl Night
Entrusted John Rasset to give Jobs a message, and Eric put Pixar aside. In the current situation of Jobs, Eric believes that the chances of the other party agreeing to open their own prices are more than 90%.
Even if the other side is holding Pixar and not letting go, will Silicon Valley lack technicians in 3D animation?
On January 21st, "Fengyue Beauty" was officially smashed. The original three-week shooting time was actually completed in just over two weeks. Eric’s reputation as a 'quick gunner' in the hearts of the crew members is even more ingrained.
Moreover, these days, Eric also edited the 59-second Super Bowl Trailer late at night. On the morning of the movie, Jeffrey went to New York with a trailer.
Even with the energetic young body backing, Eric experienced more than two weeks of intense work, still feeling deeply exhausted. There was no banquet, no touching scenes, everyone lived in Los Angeles, after finishing their work, packed up their own things and went their separate ways.
Just tomorrow is the annual Super Bowl Sunday. Even Eric, who has no feeling for the Super Bowl, can appreciate the fanatical expectations of most of the crew. Photographer Nickel Frank and several other members, despite the exhaustion of so many days, went straight to the airport and flew to Miami after Eric shouted out.
If you are not an American, it is difficult to understand the American fanaticism of the Super Bowl.
I don't know that that year, the founder of the American Football League, Lamar Hunt, saw that his daughter was playing a super ball. He just had to name the two major rugby league championship finals, so he got the inspiration and made the final. Named the Super Bowl. In fact, the Super Ball is the same as the Super Bowl in English, and someone is lazy.
After decades of development, the Super Bowl has become a big carnival for all Americans. The live broadcast of the Super Bowl has also become the highest-rated program. This is why Eric insists on launching the trailer of "Wind Beauty" on the Super Bowl.
I don't know how long I slept. I woke up the afternoon after the second day. Eric stretched out and felt the soft sound of the whole body, then dressed and washed, and walked downstairs.
A petite figure in the living room was busy, the coffee table in front of the sofa was full of food, and the TV was replaced with a new one. Seeing that Eric appeared, the girl picked up the T-shirt and went straight to Eric.
"Hey, hello, what are you doing, it's a bright day." Eric smiled and evaded Drew's harassment.
"Hey, hey, man!" Drew licked his mouth and continued to smash the T-shirt on Eric's body and put a big red ball on Eric.
"What does this mean?" Eric pulled a t-shirt that was a little uncomfortable.
"Super Bowl Night, I announced that you are now a fan of the San Francisco 49ers."
Eric asked weakly: "Can I say no?"
"No!" Shantou said, no longer care about Eric, turned and continued to be busy.
Eric shrugged indifferently, picked up a bucket of fried chicken wings and a few bottles of juice, and turned to the study room, letting the **** dry in the living room.
It was not until a few hours later that the game started and Eric was once again returned to the living room by Drula.
The finals of this year was the Cincinnati Bengals against the San Francisco 49ers. If Eric is twenty years younger, he may be interested in this kind of competition that is full of fierce collisions. Unfortunately, this pair of skins contains an uncle soul and an oriental, and he has not received the North American rugby culture from an early age. So I really can't afford much interest. The reason why I have been patiently sitting in the living room is to wait for the moment the trailer is played.
Finally, after the end of the second quarter of the game, after the Chevrolet car's advertisement, the picture flashed, and the five-second firefly title LOGO was carefully edited on the TV screen.
At this time, more than 100 million spectators in the North America were waiting in front of the TV. When they saw the Firefly-Film wording, most of the people responded that the picture was beautiful, and also produced a question, the Firefly movie, which is What advertising?
Before the Super Bowl live broadcast, there have never been movie trailers, so 99% of the audience did not associate with this aspect.
The five-second film flashed away. In the close-up, the glamorous blonde licked the red lips: "Are-you-ready?", no one answered, deliberately magnified several times the roar of the engine, the lines were tough The silver Lamborghini ghosts are gone.
"Cool!" In front of the TV, many people seem to have a short-lived resonance at the moment the engine sounds. At the same time, people think they understand, this is a sports car advertisement.
However, they soon found themselves very wrong, and Eric edited the lens to use the engine sound of Lamborghini to draw the attention of the audience to the TV screen. Next, the song of "Pretty-Woman" sounded and began the "Sports Month" movie editing screen.
Although it was only a short 50 seconds, Eric’s editing of this trailer took a lot of thought. The camera was divided into 10 seconds, which was divided into Edward’s and Vivian’s acquaintances, getting along, knowing each other. It is separated from the four parts.
The acquaintances on the Avenue of Stars, the hotel's getting along, the long-term love of each other, the disparity of status.
Although there are no lines in the middle of more than forty seconds, most viewers in front of the TV have seen it. This is a love story, and it is a love story between a prince and Cinderella. Of course, Eric will not be stupid enough to make everything clear. Many shots give people a plausible feeling, as if to say: If you want to know, enter the cinema.
The 59-second ad finally came to the end, the song fell, and the last picture appeared. Julia's tone was firm and hopeful: "I want a fairy tale!"
At the end of the shot, the picture turned black, and Julia’s last sentence left a huge suspense for all the audience: would she get a fairy tale?
Finally, there was a line of text on the TV: Eric Williams, the director of "The Little Devil", "The Windy Beauty", which was shown on February 10 in North America, so stay tuned!
In front of the TV sets of thousands of households, people have temporarily lost interest in the following advertisements and competitions, and they have discussed them.
......
"The Super Bowl is a movie trailer. The guy who can come up with is really a genius. Is the Super Bowl advertisement not very expensive?"
"It must be very expensive. This advertisement will last for nearly a minute. No more than one million dollars will not be available."
"It's too extravagant, it's enough to make a new movie. But I think the trailer is very interesting, maybe you can check it out after the release."
......
"The heroine is so beautiful."
"I prefer Al Pacino. I heard that he came back. It turned out to be this movie. I have watched the "Godfather" series for five or six times."
......
"Eric Williams, is he new?"
"Yeah, it's too fast. I don't know who this magical kid is going to harm this time, couple?"
......
"Mom, I know the words, "The devil is the master", will we go to see Kevin again tomorrow?"
"No, baby, you must have read it wrong."
"Mama deceives, the two words are still taught by you."
......
"I have heard this song, Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman", a record long ago."
"Really, is this record?"
"It is estimated that it can't be found. The record was bought by your grandfather. Who knows where to put it."
"That's a pity, but after the movie is released, there will definitely be an original soundtrack. When you buy a box, you can do it."
......
"Cole, let's go see this movie on Valentine's Day?"
"That... Margaret, aren't we going to see Tom Hanks's "Helling the neighbors"?"
"But I think this movie is more interesting..."
"Okay, listen to you."
......
"Hey, the girl said she wants a fairy tale, do you say she can succeed?"
"Dear, this is a movie of the Valentine's Day, and the ending is definitely a great success."
"But I think that many shots suggest that the male and female protagonists will be separated. Many directors like to use the more tragic endings to smear the audience's tears."
"Okay, don't think about it, let's see it when we go together."
