The audience is always worried?” A fan pointed out that in addition to a great story and a wonderful series, there is also an HBO that understands audience psychology and makes the social media marketing of the series the ultimate.
"Now one-fifth of the human beings on the entire planet are waiting for the final chapter of the epic. It seems to be waiting for a carnival for all fans." A critic pointed out that as an epic that cost more than 100 million dollars a season Class American TV series, each episode of "Game of Thrones" in the eighth season has a capacity of 80 minutes. The producer even declared: "Each episode is equivalent to a movie." All this makes "Game of Thrones" beyond It has become a global cultural phenomenon.
. As for why it hasn’t been broadcast, the crew’s explanation is: "The final season took so long because it was our largest season so far. Although it only has 6 episodes, it took a lot of time. We spent nearly one. It’s time to prepare in Belfast and then start shooting." The critics pointed out that as a super IP representing the highest level of industrialization of American TV series, even after the series ends, the subsequent development of derivatives, tourism development and even new series Development can bring great commercial value to HBO and continue to be one of HBO's content moats against Netflix.

Mortals are mortal. Who can escape the doom of "getting lunch"?
"Game of Thrones" has the tradition of "getting lunch" from time to time for the protagonist from the first season. When we see our favorite characters die suddenly, the mood will rise and fall like a roller coaster. The most famous line of the play is "All mortals are mortal." According to some statistics, at the end of season 7, more than half of the characters in the play had died. There were only two natural deaths in the first seven seasons: Bachelor Yimen and the old. The nurses all died of aging. The most common death scenes are attacks, such as the bloody wedding that broke the hearts of the audience. Others include war, death penalty and poisoning. The question is, who will survive to the end of the remaining most popular characters in the show?
In the latest trailer, Daenerys Targaryen set foot on the land of Winterfell for the first time, accompanied by Jora Mormont, who was cured of gray scale by Sam. The resentful Sansa Starkpi smiled and said to Daenerys without a smile: "Your Majesty, Winterfell is yours." In the last season, I became lovers with her, but I didn't know myself. Jon Snow, who was the heir to the Iron Throne, stood beside her. And in another set of promo shots: Winterfell after the war is deserted, the last shot falls on the Snow Sabre inserted in the snow. What makes the fans even more frightened is the latest official poster. All the main characters in the poster are frozen on the ice to form the shape of the iron throne.
Then, the film party released a blood-colored poster. This time the poster was also unexpected. It used bright bright colors and spread a lot of blood. How many people made it for the last iron throne. Westeros blood flowed into a river, "bleed for the throne" (for the crown of blood flowed into a river) highlights the theme, it seems that the price for the Iron Throne is painful and sad, but the "American Red" in the lower right corner The "Cross Club" logo has diluted this repressive style. Is it because the tragic war has alarmed the American Red Cross to come to the rescue? The battle between the fans and the crew is also wonderful, and all of this revolves around spoilers. The show has encountered "leak doors" many times. In 2017, hackers attacked the HBO network and emailed the media to release 1.5 terabytes of unbroadcast data, including the script for the seventh season of "Quan You". A week later, hackers leaked new A round of theft of documents required HBO to pay a ransom of at least $6 million in Bitcoin. The seventh season has been pirated and watched more than 1 billion times before it aired. The eighth season of "Quan You" script leak occurred in mid-June 2017. It is said that HBO executives received a letter from this hacker organization, reminding HBO of the loopholes in network security, by the way, informed them that they have received information about " Script for the eighth season of "Quan You".
, according to the "Leaked, Three Dragons" drama, and so on, according to the "Leaked, Three Dragons" drama, and so on It is believed that after the script is leaked, the crew still has enough time to modify the script and re-shoot, and the finale may not develop accordingly. The critics believe that regardless of whether the script was leaked or not, HBO has won a beautiful battle in the marketing of the series. In the adverse circumstances of slow update and short broadcast schedule, "Quanyou" can still be used cleverly. The suspense technique continuously strengthens the emotional viscosity of the audience, allowing the series to continuously create new topics during the unbroadcast period.
