Due to its large structure and complicated situation, the entire movie "Breaking Snow" is nearly three hours long. In recent years, there have been no domestic films that are so long. Only occasionally foreign-language science fiction blockbusters dare to challenge this length. On the other hand, this also represents the confidence of the producers: we dare to cut it to three hours, dare to guarantee that there are no boring moments throughout the whole process, and dare to say that we can retain the audience and carry the box office.
Since the film is quite long, the trailer is naturally not short. Compared with most trailers which are only over a minute long, it is doubled to a full three minutes.
The trailer begins with a scene of ice and snow with howling cold winds. The crew flew abroad specifically to capture the scenery, which was later rendered by a master. The color of the picture is natural, neither too dark nor too light, neither too bright nor too dull. It is worthy of being created by Qin Hanlin, who takes "beauty" as the first element. Not only the people must be beautiful, but the background must also be beautiful, and it is pleasing to the eye at first glance.
At the foot of the silent snow-capped mountains, there is an old man singing while holding a hoe. The words of his singing are not very clear, and it seems to be an unknown tune in the mountains, humming casually. The camera does not give too many shots of the old man. The old man walks into the snow village. A girl in a white shirt, delicate and graceful, is sitting in front of the bamboo doorstep carving something. It is snowing heavily, but she doesn't feel cold with her bare white feet. The picture shows the carving knife and the sign in her hand. As her hands move, wood chips fall down, and the crooked words "Po Xue" have a preliminary outline on the wooden sign.
The old man put down his hoe, and the little girl looked up at him and smiled. This smile was like the spring coming, and the ice and snow all around melted away in an instant, leaving only this person in the world: "Master."
The old man took the carving knife from her hand and said, "This is how it should be carved."
The girl puffed up her cheeks, picked up the knife again, and looked serious. The girl's movements and expression remained unchanged, but times had changed. It was already March in the south of the Yangtze River, when the grass was growing and the birds were singing.
This shot is not an abrupt transition, but like an antelope hanging its horns, it leaves no trace. Outsiders cannot see anything, and only those who really do post-production know the difficulty.
The audience in front of the screen only exclaimed "Huh" in surprise when they saw the spring scenery gradually deepen, and suddenly realized that several years had passed.
The girl's limbs have become taller, her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, and she looks quite similar to the past. The feet that were hanging outside the doorstep are still bare, but now they are hanging on the tree branch, with a carving knife in her mouth and a wooden sign in her hand. She looks into the distance and seems to see a little child coming hurriedly.
The girl put away the carving knife and stuffed the wooden sign into her bosom, leaving a corner exposed. The simple words "Po Xue" could be vaguely seen inside, which were exactly the same as in previous years. She took out a piece of dry straw from somewhere and lay it steadily on the branch, lazily crossing her legs. The straw in her mouth rose and fell with her movements. The child was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a pair of pigtails, and had a delicate appearance. At first glance, it was hard to tell whether it was androgynous.
This was the first meeting between Chen Qing and Jing Xiu.
"My name is Hongyu."
Due to the length limit of the trailer, there is only this one line.
The editing skills can be seen in the first part, but it is a bit confusing and hard to understand. The following content is completely for visual impact, making people reluctant to blink.
The first shot is Xia Yitong's stunning drum dance. The drum beats are rapid, like torrential rain, and the fierce momentum is impressive before the screen is seen. On the drum, the beauty is barefoot with golden bells, and her face is covered with a mask. It seems like a long time has passed, and it seems like a moment. The drum stops and the dance ends, and half of the bronze mask flies away, revealing Xia Yitong's face with clear eyebrows but cold enough to capture souls. The poisonous scorpion at the end of the eyebrows is baring its fangs and claws, as if it can directly hunt people's hearts. It is so beautiful that it is shocking.
The King of Chu clapped his hands and laughed, and gave her rewards and made her a queen.
The dormant undercurrent began to surge.
Then, two minutes later, Chen Qing and Jing Xiu passed each other by, each with their own thoughts. Jing Xiu was not interested in state affairs in the court, and the two secretly conspired to eliminate the eldest prince and other people who threatened Jing Xiu's future position as the crown prince. The crown prince, the regent, pardoned the world, raised his arms and called for help from the city wall, and became the talk of the town. However, the good times did not last long. Gu Zang entered the city, and the people were devastated. The country was destroyed and the family was ruined. All the editing methods used were fast-paced drum beats. The post-production was willing to spend money, and the special effects were shocking. Every scene was perfect. In the end, Jing Xiu was captured, leaning against the doorpost of Zhaoyang Palace with blood all over his body, his long hair was fluffy, his eyes were cracked, and he clenched his teeth. There was a monstrous anger and hatred in his eyes. Facing the camera, he said word by word: "I... want to kill you!"
It forms a tragic contrast with Jing Xiu, who seemed to be a sage and indifferent at the beginning, and is full of dramatic tension.
The screen went dark and the sound and picture stopped abruptly.
An arrow shot from the sky, and with a thud, the silver words "Po Xue" were fixed on the screen. Then, strands of red blood flowed in the silver light, and there were several eardrum-shaking sounds. A line of words appeared on the screen: July 1, 2017, released nationwide! Stay tuned!
This is how Xia Yitong felt the charm of visual art so directly. She had seen most of the scenes on the set, and some were shot by herself. However, it felt completely new to her, so new that she doubted whether she had ever experienced it. She was deeply shocked, and the fans who had been waiting for a year were even more so.
I've been waiting for so long, and finally the trailer is released. I know we won't be disappointed [crying]
Ahhhh, so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, I can hold it and watch it a hundred times, a hundred times [drooling]
I predict in advance that this will be one of the best movies of the year. Whether it is the special effects or the choice of actors, they are all very good. Although three minutes cannot give you a glimpse of the whole picture, this trailer alone is far better than those rubbish domestic movies that make money [smile]
I hope the feature film can maintain the same quality as the trailer, but is there any need to question a film directed by Qin Hanlin? [laughs]
This is the most anticipated movie of this summer! No doubt about it, I will definitely go to the cinema to support it!
In addition to praising the movie, more people praised the actors. After all, it is a fan economy. In addition to some people recognizing the director, a large part of the audience recognizes the actors. As long as the actors are reliable, they will go back to watch the movie. Lu Yinbing is equivalent to the living signboard of the movie, and most of the comments about Xia Yitong are kind. Due to time constraints, others had a cursory look, but Qin Hanlin's styling team is best at a quick glance, so everyone is beautiful or handsome in the camera, fully satisfying the fans' screen-licking mentality.
Ahhhh, cross-dressing, cross-dressing, how can Lu Shen’s cross-dressing be so good-looking, marry me!!! Or you can marry me too!!!
Am I the only one who cried after watching this trailer? The look in Lu Shen's eyes at the end was so heartbreaking that I burst into tears in a second. Hug Lu Shen
From the three-minute trailer, I felt the deep abuse, and it was the kind of abuse that was heart-wrenching and made me cry and tremble all over. Do you still remember the fear of being dominated when Ming Zhi died in my Lu's "Asking the Blue Sky with Wine"? I hope that the feature film will slap me in the face. I am willing to slap my face for you [smile]
To be honest, this is the first time I get Xia Yitong's looks. This look is so pretty. I took a sip and hope I can become pretty too [laughs]
#余清言# How come our Yanyan is so tanned? Did the crew ask him to do it? I almost didn't recognize him, but he's still handsome even after getting tanned. Should I change my name to Heiyanfan from now on [laugh cry]
Hahahaha, I might be a villain fan. I actually thought that chief was pretty handsome. No one wanted me to take him away.
As someone above said, I wonder if the old man at the beginning is the actor Zuo, who deliberately put on old-age makeup for a cameo? No, I'll go check the cast list again.
…
There are those who praise it, and there are those who criticize it, those who complain, and there are also some passers-by and most of Lu Yinbing's fans who are still upset about Xia Yitong's participation in the film and continue to wait and see. But these are not important anymore. Everything will have to wait until the film is released on July 1st to see the truth under swords.
Xia Yitong forwarded the official Weibo post. She had so many words in her mind that she didn't know where to start. She forwarded 140 words, deleted and wrote, wrote and deleted, and finally condensed them into a sentence. She only left a few words solemnly, which best expressed her current mood.
I hope all efforts will be rewarded [fist] // Movie Poxue: #Poxue scheduled for July 1# Directed by Qin Hanlin, written by Zhou Yiwen, and produced by Zhan Tan, Poxue first released the "Bloody Jiangshan" version of the trailer. Heroes rise up, the building is about to fall, a token, a set of chess pieces, the world is the board, the mountains and rivers are the pieces, who is the chess player? Lu Yinbing, Xia Tian, Yi Tong, Yu Qingyan... [Movie Poxue Bloody Jiangshan Trailer]
As soon as she successfully forwarded the message, she saw Lu Yinbing’s new Weibo on the homepage.
Lu Yinbing v:
July 1st, you know what to do, otherwise don't blame me for destroying my fans [smile] // The movie Poxue: #PoxueDingdang7.1# Directed by Qin Hanlin, written by Zhou Yiwen, produced by Zhan Tan...
Lu Yinbing has new works every year, all of which are excellent. Except for the art films that are specially made for awards, the box office of other films has always been good. In recent years, her attitude of forwarding official Weibo has become more and more casual, but fans like her attitude, which is fresh and unpretentious. In fact, no matter what Lu Yinbing says, as long as she is extremely capable, most people will buy it.
As expected, the comments were full of masochists begging for abuse. Looking across the entire internet, only Lu Yinbing's fans were eager for their idol to beat them up every day, using stun guns, batons, injections, etc. It would be best if all kinds of methods were used.
They have already cooperated with each other, and the promotion is about to be put on the agenda. After that, they have to sign with each other's studio. They don't care whether they will be scolded for riding on the popularity. If they are scolded, they will be slapped in the face anyway. Xia Yitong simply left a message on Lu Yinbing's Weibo: I wish you a big box office [hahaha]
Just after leaving the message, Lu Yinbing called me, anxious as if his butt was on fire: "I left you a message on Weibo, please reply to me quickly!!!"
Xia Yitong: “…”
How can it be okay to leave a message
