Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Super Bowl Preview



On February 3, 2002, Nanaya turned on the TV on time to watch the American Super Bowl.

"This is the most popular day in the United States since 2002. The audience on site..."

Nanaya stared at the host on the TV screen, but his mind was not on that at all. He was just waiting for the halftime commercial break.

"Senior, I can tell from your appearance that you are a fake fan."

Rin, who was watching the show with Nanaya, looked at Nanaya with contempt while eating an apple.

"You talk like you like football."

Nanaya snorted.

"Well, after all, New Zealand is too boring. There is no entertainment at all."

Rin stretched out, slapping her feet and complaining.

"Fuck you, are you here to work or travel?" Nanaya rubbed Lin's head twice, "How is your study going?"

Rin slapped Nanaya's hand away and pouted, "Don't mention it. Last semester was basically wasted. I had to retake most of my classes. Luckily, that golden drill was the same way, otherwise I would have been laughed at by her."

As the face of art schools in Japan, Tokyo University of the Arts certainly cannot joke about academics.

Students majoring in acting like Rin or Luvia would of course receive preferential treatment if they wanted to film a movie, but this preferential treatment would only be based on attendance, and there would be no favoritism in their studies.

The test you are going to take will definitely not be vague.

Thus, Rin and Luvia, who had been away from home for two consecutive semesters, suffered a tragedy.

Although I managed to get 60 points in the first half of 2001, the classes in the second half of 2001 were basically terrible.

It is estimated that these two people will be very busy with their studies this year, but what does this have to do with Nanaya?

Anyway, he had already obtained his diploma, so he could just watch his female students study hard with a smile and make sarcastic remarks at the same time.

"Senior, please at least give Rin some face."

Ori came over with a few cups, "By the way, halftime is almost here?"

"It's almost there. We'll be there soon." Nanaya took the tea handed to him by Ori, "Thank you for your help."

"Um."

"By the way, how is your sister?"

"That's about it. Although I've been discharged from the hospital, I still can't do strenuous exercise, and even my diet has to be controlled."

After the Chinese New Year, Ori finally found an excuse to go to a special rehabilitation center in Tokyo and fled Kyoto with her sister Shiki.

Although Ryougi Kiyomi was very reluctant, she had no choice but to agree to Ori's request.

Ryougi Shiki originally thought that she had finally escaped from the sea of suffering, but she didn't expect that what awaited her was an even more severe hell.

Ryougi Shun and Ori found a rehabilitation center for her and sent her there. Now, not only does Shiki have to be supervised by caregivers at all times, but she also has to complete various tasks every day.

These tasks are not only physical rehabilitation exercises, but also a lot of learning tasks, including middle school homework and social changes over the years.

This kind of life almost drove me crazy.

In Shiki's own words, it would be better not to leave this hospital.

"I have already discussed this with my sister. Once she finishes her high school courses, she will start her acting training. By then, she should be able to catch up with the filming of the second and third chapters of The Empty Realm."

Ori sat next to Nanaya and watched the game while explaining.

"Thank you for your help. If possible, you can give your sister some special training, and focus on the key points of playing the role of Ryougi Shiki."

After giving some instructions, Nanaya also started watching the game.

Just like what Lin said before, there is basically no entertainment in New Zealand, a place like this. So although Nanaya is not a rugby fan, it can be regarded as entertainment and relaxation.

For a moment, the three people in the room stopped talking and started watching TV.

If we rank the most popular TV shows in North America, the Super Bowl would be second and no one would dare to claim to be first.

In the United States, the ratings of the Super Bowl are the highest in the country. According to AC Nielsen's ratings survey, the average ratings are around 40%-60%, of which 40% are viewers who watch the game for a long time, and the rest are viewers who watch at any time. About 80%-90% of the audience watch the Super Bowl at any time.

It can be said that at least eight out of every 10 Americans will pay attention to the Super Bowl.

Such high ratings will certainly be noticed by various media groups.

Since 20th Century Fox released the trailer for Independence Day during the halftime of the 1996 Super Bowl, Super Bowl halftime advertising has become a battleground for various film companies to promote their own films.

"Goblin Slayer", which is billed as a commercial blockbuster, is no exception. In order to gain the highest attention, it is almost certain that a special advertisement for "Goblin Slayer" will appear during the Super Bowl halftime advertising time.

This trailer was specially made by Nanaya. In order to show the characteristics of "Goblin Slayer" within this limited time and to limit it to all age ranges, Nanaya put a lot of thought into it.

It is no exaggeration to say that every second of Super Bowl halftime advertising is worth a lot of money. Coupled with the competition among various companies, buying advertising space itself has become a war.

Fortunately, although Super Bowl ads are expensive now, they are not as high as the situation in later years where one spot (30 seconds) costs $5 million. However, the price of $1.9 million still makes Shion feel painful.

There are 32 advertising spots during the Super Bowl halftime. Based on the $1.9 million revenue, the organizers will earn $60.8 million in advertising fees during the halftime break alone.

That's roughly the same cost as making a movie of Goblin Slayer.

"Even robbery can't make as much money as this."

This expensive price made Nanaya feel a little upset.

Although it wasn't his money, there was a cap on the publicity and promotion costs for Goblin Slayer.

The more money you put into the Super Bowl, the less money you have to spend elsewhere.

"Fortunately, it's still cheaper than the $5 million in 2017."

Nanaya could only comfort himself in this way. Even though it sounded a bit like cheapskate, after all, the purchasing power of money in 2002 and 2017 was completely different, but at least it gave him some psychological comfort.

Just when Nanaya was daydreaming about this and that, the Super Bowl halftime commercial finally began.

The most eye-catching advertisement in this year's Super Bowl halftime was definitely Budweiser. This advertisement, in which a beer-pulling horse paid silent tribute to New York, paid tribute and mourned the victims of last year's major event in the simplest way.

In fact, it's not just Budweiser. The core theme of this year's Super Bowl halftime show is to mourn the disaster that happened last September.

For example, U2's performance was specially designed with a heart-shaped stage to commemorate the victims. When the band sang "Where the Streets H**e No Name", Bono also showed off a jacket with the American Stars and Stripes printed on it to pay tribute to the victims.

In terms of movie trailers, films that will be released in the summer season, such as "Spider-Man", "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones", and "Austin Powers: Golden Globes", have all made their debuts. Even "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which will be released at the end of the year, have released their own special trailers.

"It looks like the movie adaptation of 'The Saint and the Brave' is not going to advertise during the Super Bowl." William said to his friends with some contempt, "They even missed the best promotional period like the Super Bowl. I really don't know what to say."

The specific release date of "Goblin Slayer" has not been announced, but according to the [Next Summer] marked in several trailers before the New Year, it can be seen that the release time of this movie should be between June and August.

As for May, when the summer season begins, normal people would definitely not choose to watch movies in this period because of the movies "Spider-Man" and "Star Wars Prequels".

However, when the last advertisement appeared, William immediately stopped talking, because the three golden triangles that appeared in front of everyone directly indicated which movie the trailer was.

A magnetic and hazy female voice sounded with a very epic background sound.

"When the world was still in chaos, when the lights of the stars were not yet lit."

"Three golden goddesses have come to this world."

The image on the screen gradually brightened with the three triangles in the center, and a mural appeared in front of everyone.

Only then did everyone see that the three triangles were located exactly above the heads of the three goddesses, and the content of the picture was the picture of the goddesses creating time.

This mural looks very old and seems to be carved on some ruins.

"The goddess of strength, Ting... raised her mighty arms of fire, nurtured the land and created the red earth."

"The goddess of wisdom, Nalu...poured wisdom onto the earth and gave the world all the order that existed deep in its soul."

"The goddess of courage, Farola... with her abundant soul, created all the orderly lives in the world."

"After the three goddesses founded the Hyrule continent, they disappeared, leaving only the Sacred Triangle."

"Now..."

The scene began to switch, and the first to appear were various goblins. They were extremely ugly, but also extremely ferocious.

The camera began to zoom out, and more and more goblins appeared in the camera, and soon these brown-green creatures occupied the entire screen.

These goblin armies made all kinds of screams, as if they wanted to devour everything they saw like locusts.

The camera moved to the other side of the battle against the Goblin army, where were adventurers wearing various kinds of armor, each of them ready to engage in battle with the Goblin army.

"●●●!"

A tall goblin holding a double-edged axe sounded as a legion attacked, and countless goblins began to surge towards the adventurers like a tide.

At the moment when the two armies came into contact, the scene turned dark again.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Along with the sound of heavy footsteps, the picture gradually brightened, and a troll several people tall appeared on the screen.

It opened its mouth and exhaled foul air, and standing opposite it was a warrior wearing simple armor. William, who had seen the setting of the movie, knew that this was the protagonist of the movie - Goblin Slayer.

The warrior raised his sword and charged at the monster, which was only as tall as his thigh.

At this time, the voice-over sounded again.

"A new legend has begun!"

The TV screen suddenly turned snow-white, and in the dazzling light, a golden sacred triangle flashed by, followed by a large "Saint and the Brave" logo, with the subtitle "Goblin Slayer" displayed below.

Next is the film's release date, June 28th.

This is the end of the entire trailer.
