He couldn't help but speak, he was so surprised that he couldn't say anything more than this sentence.
His wife was also watching the screen. Shu Peien had originally planned to watch the trailer and then read the analysis of netizens at home and abroad, but now he couldn't sit still for a moment. He stood up and touched his clothes pocket:
"Where's my phone?"
He asked twice in rapid succession, "I have to call Cui Zhangcheng to ask."
This news was totally unexpected to him and completely different from what he had imagined at the beginning. He was eager to know the answer. His wife saw him leave the study, and the computer in the room was still on. The picture she opened again was still playing. Shu Payen had already found his cell phone and called Cui Zhangcheng.
"Zhang Cheng, in 'God's Redemption', Jiang Se plays the heroine?"
"Teacher Shu, have you finished watching the trailer?"
Cui Zhangcheng did not immediately answer Shu Peien's question, but instead asked him: "Is the trailer good?"
"Yes, it's good." Shu Payen suppressed his anxiety and nodded. From his perspective as a professional film critic, the producers of "God's Redemption" must have put a lot of thought into this movie.
Needless to say, the music is powerful and exciting, giving people the ultimate auditory enjoyment from the beginning to the end of the short film. The passionate and unrestrained power is seamlessly connected with the content of the film. Listening to its style, it feels like it was created by the famous Finnish band "Time".
In the edited trailer, Donald's acting is superb. The tear and the laugh of Jiang Se's character at the end have the power to move people, making people more curious about the process in between and what happened to her. Combined with her image when she appeared earlier, and then with the speculation about her final appearance, it makes people even more itchy.
Needless to say, the special effects are great, the scenes are also extremely grand, and the subject matter is the story of "God" related to religion, which means that this movie is destined to have rich and colorful content.
"From the current trailer, if the feature film can maintain this effect, then Cesare's film may become an epic blockbuster."
Compared with the length of the feature film, the trailer released now is just the tip of the iceberg.
If the feature film can surpass the trailer, or even perform the content in the trailer fairly well, it will be enough to prove Cesare's success. It is a perfect combination of commercialization and art, and it is an extremely remarkable masterpiece.
But what Shupein is more worried about at this time is whether the feature film "Divine Redemption" directed by Cesare can eventually live up to the 0% excitement of the trailer. It must not only have passionate content to capture young audiences and ensure box office data, but also have higher artistic connotations to meet people's spiritual needs and sublimate the meaning of the film. This is a difficult process and not easy to control.
"Don't worry." Cui Zhangcheng said this and was about to continue talking, but Shu Peien didn't wait for him to open his mouth and asked again impatiently:
"You haven't told me yet, is Jiang Se the heroine in "God's Redemption"? "
At the beginning of the filming of this movie, Shu Pain vaguely remembered that Hollywood actress Laura had joined the crew with great fanfare.
Logically speaking, in order to guarantee the box office, the investors should hire a young actress like Laura who represents high popularity.
In Shu Payen's opinion, Jiang Se's acting skills have been directly demonstrated in "The Devil" and "A Glimmer of Hope". She is also well-known in China, but in terms of international popularity, she is still far inferior to Laura, and her influence is far less than Laura.
It would be fine if "God's Redemption" was a movie invested by China, but the investors of this movie are two foreign giants, Borgia and Roundabout, who specially invited Donald to be the male lead, and it is not a low-budget production, which makes Shu Payne particularly confused.
However, it is a good thing that Jiang Se can show her talent to the world in "God's Redemption". Her acting skills did not seem timid because of working with a big man like Donald. Instead, it gave Shu Peien a feeling that she becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents.
This feeling was already vaguely evident when she was working with Liu Ye on "Devil", and it was much more obvious in "A Glimmer of Hope".
Shu Payen even felt that her performance in the later movie was more outstanding than Liu Ye. If Liu Ye had not played Cheng Jianguo in "A Glimmer of Hope", someone else might have been suppressed by Jiang Se's brilliance.
In the three-minute trailer, the confrontation between her and Donald was Shu Payne's favorite. At the beginning, she was so engrossed that she didn't even recognize Jiang Se and was so absorbed in the plot. It can be imagined how outstanding Jiang Se's performance was.
"I was just about to tell you about this." Facing Shu Peien's repeated urging, Cui Zhangcheng seemed neither anxious nor slow, intentionally trying to whet his appetite:
"In this short film, which is only three minutes long, have you counted the time she appears?"
Shu Penn shook his head:
"No, as soon as I recognized her, I called you to confirm the news."
As the editor-in-chief of "Times Review", Cui Zhangcheng should be able to get some news first. He called me tonight specifically to talk about this matter, so he should have an idea of it.
"But she appeared twice, which can be said to account for a large proportion." He paused for a moment and continued:
“Did you see the poster?”
The shadow on the poster should be Jiang Se without a doubt. Since she can make the film producers do this, there is a high possibility that she will be the female lead in "God's Redemption".
"At first, we were all misled by the official news and thought that Hollywood's Laura would co-star with Donald."
Cui Zhangcheng smiled and said, "I have carefully counted the three-minute trailer. Except for the first eight seconds which have nothing to do with the main content of the film, the remaining 152 seconds, excluding the fight scenes in the film, account for 37 seconds. Of the remaining 115 seconds, Donald's Andre took up 62 seconds, and Jiang Se's character with a very different personality took up 53 seconds."
If we distinguish them by status, Donald is definitely the male lead, so he occupies a larger space in the trailer. Jiang Se's scenes only take up 53 seconds, which is only a few seconds less than him, but it already accounts for almost one-third of the entire trailer. "If you say she is not the female lead, no one will believe it."
The reason why the producers of "God's Redemption" edited her two different looks into the trailer is to explain the general plot clearly so that the audience can understand the main content and conflicts of "God's Redemption" within three minutes.
Secondly, it may be that the editing technique was used to splice the time when Jiang Se appeared, giving the audience the illusion that she appeared much less than Donald. (To be continued)
