TV series are different from movies, but they are the same in some places. For example, if they want to sell well, they all rely on publicity and marketing.


    With the end of filming, the crew is about to move into the post production stage. Murphy and Kara Firth have agreed with Fox cable that the epic series will be officially launched on Fox cable at the end of April to accept the audience''s subscription. In the previous two weeks, they will hold a trial of the first episode.


    As Murphy mainly adopts live action shooting, there are few special effects shots that need post production, and the main work is still on editing and soundtrack, so the crew does not need too long post production time.


    Moreover, unlike movie screening, fox cable adopts the traditional way of broadcasting American dramas. Murphy only needs to finish the editing of the first few episodes first, and there is no need to worry about the next few episodes at all.


    This also has the advantage of timely adjustment according to the feedback of the audience.


    The crew is on holiday now, and post production will start later. However, Murphy and several major actors are not idle. Under the influence of 20th century fox, they began to work hard for the publicity and marketing of the show.


    Especially Murphy, Stanton studio has invested a lot of money in this series. Success can make him rich profits, and failure can directly hurt his muscles and bones.


    Stanton studio first announced on the official production blog of "song of ice and fire: game of power" that all shooting of the series has been completed, and it is about to enter the post production stage.


    Fox cable then released news in prime time that "song of ice and fire: game of power" will be officially broadcast on the last Friday at the end of April.


    Then, Murphy put out the first poster on her blog, with only one line of big words on it. April 28, 2006, winter is coming!


    In the 20th century, fox has also been building momentum for the TV series on its multi-media platform.


    "For ten years or more, people who are fascinated by the song of ice and fire series seem to have absolute strong willpower and confidence in all kinds of cruel news and attacks, just like northerners. Finally, fox cable TV station will broadcast the fantasy masterpiece song of ice and fire: game of power at 21:00 p.m. on April 28 this year. It can be said that the whole world is waiting to be captured, shocked and influenced visually by this story. "


    Such propaganda also appears in many mainstream media.


    "We''ve been following this program from the beginning until it''s about to be broadcast. Whether you have read a book or not, you should pay attention to this drama, because although it takes place in a fantasy continent, its expression and thinking of human nature and behavior is like a miniature of today''s world, which is vivid, intuitive and cruel


    "Song of ice and fire: the game of power" has a $15 million marketing budget behind the final $50 million production cost.


    Since it is not far away from the broadcast date, Stanton studio, together with 20th century fox, started various publicity activities.


    In addition to the release of stills, posters and behind the scenes production, we also organize fan activities, make various souvenirs, and even make ice and fire special food for people to taste


    At the same time, Murphy also released a second poster. Sean bin on the Iron Throne plays ned stark with ice in his hand. He frowns tightly and looks down as if he is struggling in pain.


    The poster was marked with "lure" in red win.or "Lure. Die", or win, or die, this is no matter in which world must abide by the rules of the game.


    As the promoter and director of the project, Murphy also received an exclusive interview with fox.


    "We are very cautious in dealing with this series to a certain extent," Murphy said in front of the camera in the studio of Fox TV station. "We have two major screenwriters, including Martin, who are very talented, talented and smart. That''s why they have a huge and irresistible impact It''s a great attraction. "


    The host asked, "is this the TV version of the Lord of the rings trilogy?"


    "Absolutely not. It''s more realistic and cruel. It''s really a game of power," Murphy said, knowing the audience to face in the future. "This theme resonates throughout human history. I promise, you''ll soon forget where you are, and you''ll soon find yourself trapped in the whole story. "


    The fans of the original novel in North America will be very helpful to the audience, but things have two sides, which also increases the pressure of the producers.


    "The audience is desperate for the show," Murphy said, "so it has to be big and small, and everyone is looking forward to it. And the level and tone of your own novel is there, so if you want to do it, you have to do it well. "


    Since the main line of the first season is based entirely on novels, fans are the most basic audience group, and Murphy also specifically mentioned this aspect.


    "It has been ten years since the first novel of George Martin''s series, song of ice and fire: game of power, came out, and now the TV series is finished. But for ice fans, it''s like a flash."In the first season, there is a very necessary reason to pay so much attention to the fans of the original book. It was only after the shooting of the TV series that Murphy found that the fans of the original book were much more than he imagined. After all, this series of novels did not appear in recent years. It has been nearly ten years since it was published. Although the sales situation is not very hot, it is not bad. Naturally, a group of fans can be cultivated.


    And this fantasy novel, which is popular all over the world, has a large number of obsessed readers, which is undoubtedly good news for Murphy and the TV series.


    During the shooting, these people always pay attention to every move of the whole crew, and even go to visit the forest in Belfast. For these, Murphy and Kara Firth can''t help paying attention to them.


    In this not peaceful fictional continent, palace struggle, battlefield fighting, travel and adventure, the growth of teenagers, the maintenance of love and family No matter from the grand setting, the trend of the story, or small plot changes, the future will be the focus of attention and comment of fans.


    So, the whole crew headed by Murphy is extremely cautious in this respect, and has discussed every detail in countless meetings. The language creation Department of the crew has even created a language for drogo and his people.


    "You''ve always been a filmmaker," the host asked. "Why not consider making this series a movie?"


    "After finishing the first script outline, I really don''t know how to make it into a movie."


    After a moment''s thinking, Murphy said in detail, "if I make the first book into a three hour movie, I''ll cut almost 90% of the content out of the book. I''m very familiar with adapting scripts from novels. Sometimes I have to be cold-blooded. But in this plan, I like every story line and every character. Cutting them off is like amputating a beautiful woman, so the only way to do it is to make it a series


    At the end of the interview, Murphy said, "April 28, fox cable, winter is coming."


    For the rest of February, during the post production of song of ice and fire: the game of power, Murphy frequently appeared in the media and actively promoted the platform.


    Compared with Murphy''s busyness, Gail gado has more free time recently. Apart from the weekend evening gathering, Murphy doesn''t have much time to get along with her. However, Margot Robbie also transferred to Los Angeles after shooting. They often go shopping together on weekends, and their relationship is getting better and better.


    "I don''t think this black one is good..."


    Margot Robbie stood behind Gail gado in a fashion shop on roddell street in Beverly Hills. She looked at her black evening dress and said, "Gail, you look good in everything, because of your figure, but have you ever thought about it?"


    Gail gado turned, looked back in the mirror and asked, "what are you thinking about?"


    "What you''re going to leave is the Oscar red carpet. Murphy will definitely choose a dark dress." Margot - Robbie a pair of expert style, "you as his girlfriend, and then wear black is not appropriate, my advice is White


    "When did you not study horseback riding," Gail gado asked curiously, "but fashion instead?"


    "Here you don''t know..." Margot Robbie was a little proud. "I left my hometown farm and first received professional modeling training from a friend of my mother''s. fashion aesthetics is a necessary part of it."


    "Well, you have a good eye." Gail gado said to the salesgirl standing next to him, "do you have a white one? Well, I''ll have a try. "


    When the salesgirl went to get the same white version, Margot Robbie came over and said, "is it right for me to come with you? I said, "I can help you."


    "Maggie, I think you forgot." Gail gado put his hands around his chest and said, "I''ve participated in Miss Universe competitions and received professional training in this field..."


    Margot Robbie opened his mouth slightly. "Er..."


    The salesgirl took the dress. Gail gado tried it on and decided to take the short one that could show her legs.


    "It''s good to have long legs."


    Looking at Gail gado''s long, straight legs, Margot Robbie said enviously, "no matter what you wear, it''s beautiful."


    Gail gado was most satisfied with these legs. He pulled Margot Robbie out of the store and said, "you''re still growing, and soon you''ll have long legs."


    "Of course! "Margot Robbie looked confident and asked," where are we going next? "


    "To the men''s store." Gail gado went first. "I''m going to pick out an Oscar dress for Murphy." (to be continued). )
