The best director ever

Chapter 422 "Transformers"

July [-]st.

The headquarters of Huaxian in the magic capital.

In the conference room, at this moment, there are still a few hours before the opening press conference in the afternoon, and all the leading actors and principal persons in charge of the film crew have gathered here.

Han Qiu, Hu Ge, Han Xia, Wu Jing, etc., Lin Xiaoming is also sitting.

Because of this film, Huanyu also participated in the investment.

Han Qiu sat in the first place, glanced at everyone present, and said loudly: "This afternoon is the launch conference. I won't say much about the importance of this movie. Everyone knows it. Therefore, I hope everyone will give me Show your best form!"

Everyone nodded, and their eyes fell on the PPT behind Han Qiu, with a flash of enthusiasm in their eyes.

I saw four big characters written on it:

Transformers!
That's right, the big movie Han Qiu wants to play this time is Transformers.A sci-fi business masterpiece that made countless gold in the previous life and became popular all over the world!

Now, Han Qiu wants the robots to invade every major country in the world!
Grab their box office hard!

But this time, Han Qiu is the director, Wu Jing is the chief director, Hu Ge is the male lead, and Han Xia is the female lead.

And the place where the story takes place is in Huaxia!

In fact, Han Qiu never planned to complete the Transformers himself from the very beginning. He didn't want to shoot all of them in person.Moreover, in addition to the special effects of Transformers, the actual shooting does not take much effort at all.

He came to shoot Transformers, like killing a chicken with a bull's knife.

For the first part, he will follow the crew and participate in filming and post-production, but for the subsequent sequels, he will not participate in person. At most, he will take care of the overall situation and not let Hua Xian ruin the Transformers.

Therefore, Han Qiu chose Wu Jinglai as the director.He intends to give Wu Jing some pointers on the first part, and leave it to him to figure out the latter part.

And Wu Jing's strength is the theme of military warfare.Although Transformers is science fiction, it is also a war film, but the object of war has become a robot.Are there few airplanes, cannons, soldiers, etc. inside?
Even military bases have appeared.

In the previous life, in order to shoot Transformers, the Yankees even opened the Pentagon to the Transformers crew, allowing them to go in and shoot.

Of course, the rules inside are still very strict. What should be filmed and what should not be filmed are all frankly regulated.

And if Han Qiu wants to shoot Transformers in China, he must cooperate with China's military.

Those planes, tanks, they might have to borrow them and use them.

Therefore, Han Qiu has contacted the Lin Xia Military Region and the Jingnan Military Region in the past two months, hoping to cooperate with them.

Although Huaxia Radio and Television is sometimes tricky, the Huaxia Military Region is still relatively straightforward.

Now there are many military-themed movies, and the Huaxia Military Region will provide help.Many of the tanks and aircraft that have appeared in military movies are still in service.

Therefore, don't think that only the Yankee army will lend planes and tanks to make movies, and the Chinese army will too.

In this regard, the Huaxia Military Region is really honest.

After learning about Han Qiu's intentions, the two military regions agreed to Han Qiu's request.

Now that Han Qiu's influence radiates the whole world, it is also good to take the opportunity to promote the strength of his country's army.A military parade can deter gringos, and so can movies.

Of course, there are prerequisites for cooperation.

Because some shells and missiles are very expensive.If you want to shoot live, Han Qiu must pay for this money.Moreover, Han Qiu had to pay for the borrowed tanks, planes, and other miscellaneous maintenance expenses.

In the end, the pilots of the planes and tanks are real soldiers.The military can borrow planes and tanks, but if they do, no one will drive them. Do you expect actors to drive these real guns?

Which actor learned these driving skills?

Han Qiu also had to pay for the appearance fees of these drivers.

Of course, the drivers are all invited, and Han Qiu doesn't mind inviting some real soldiers to come over for filming.

Now, for the military to participate in large-scale social activities such as filming, it must obtain the approval of the higher authorities. Without the approval of the superiors, it will never organize troops to participate in activities such as filming and TV dramas.

Generally, to shoot a film with the main theme, the relevant department must submit a request for assistance in shooting to the first-level superior unit of the military region, and the specific unit will be designated to assist in the shooting after the superior approves. In addition to convenience, it is more difficult for film and television companies in other places.

However, Huaxian is not included in this list. When you are rich and famous, it is indeed more convenient to do things.Moreover, it is much cheaper to invite the army than to invite group performances.

Of course, they are all extras.

However, Han Qiu had also heard that these remunerations ended up in the hands of the soldiers, so very little. As for where the big head went, Han Qiu didn't want to go into it.

There are some things that a director like him can't afford to mess with.

After explaining to everyone the details of the movie that need attention, Han Qiu dismissed the meeting.

These details are some sensitive matters of cooperation with the military region.What can be photographed and what cannot be photographed must be clearly stated.

Everyone left one after another, but Lin Xiaoming was the last one.

"Director Han, you really did a great job this time. Not only are the special effects top-notch, but you also have to cooperate with the Chinese army." Lin Xiaoming said with emotion.

"Promote the prestige of the country." Han Qiu smiled lightly.

"Haha, it's to promote the prestige of the country. Let the gringos see that our Chinese army is not vegetarian." Lin Xiaoming laughed.

Lin Xiaoming participated in the joint filming of Transformers this time without even thinking about it.To be honest, he has been in China's film and television industry for so many years, and he has never seen such a tossing movie as Transformers in China.

It was an airplane cannon, and an alien robot, which made him dazzled, and he thought he had come to Hollywood.

Special effects blockbuster?

Isn't this a trick that Hollywood often plays, and now Hua Xian has started to play like this?
Contacting FS, Lin Xiaoming immediately understood Han Qiu's intentions, and then directly invested 5000 million US dollars, accounting for 25% of the total.The total investment of Transformers is as high as [-] million US dollars.

Among them, tens of millions were drawn by Han Qiu from advertisers.

Especially car manufacturers.

Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, these cars are key players.In particular, the Bumblebee sports car has an outrageously high appearance rate, and many car manufacturers are fighting for it.

Everyone wanted the male lead's ass to sit on their own car.

This ass goes down, it's all white money.They can all imagine how crazy their sports car sold after the release of Transformers.

And Han Qiu never refuses these money-spreading boys. If the Bumblebee can't get it, are there other models that can be snatched? Sports car, isn't there only one?
There are so many Transformers, just choose!

In the afternoon, a group of Transformers crew attended the launch conference.

This time, when Han Qiu came out of the mountain, countless media reporters flocked here, wanting to get the latest news as soon as possible!
In a year and a half, what kind of big move did Han Banxian hold back?

However, the truth this time shocked the eyes of countless people.

Daxianer wants to adapt a cartoon into a live-action movie?
Immediately, many reporters raised questions: "Director Han, your new film plan is the Transformers movie?"

The reporter's tone was a little contemptuous, because there are many cartoons in China that have been released into big movies, but many of them are street goods, let alone filmed as live-action versions. Wouldn't they be thrown into the gutter?

Han Qiu smiled indifferently: "Yes, this is not only a new plan, but also a large-scale IP plan for Huaxian in the future. However, the plots of live-action movies and cartoons are different, and the connection is not very big. Even if you have never watched cartoons The audience, watching the movie will not have any impact."

"As far as I know, there are almost no live-action adaptations of animation that have achieved great success. Director Han, are you so confident that Transformers will be successful?"

"Hehe, everything I say now is just bragging, let's talk about it after the movie is released."

Another reporter asked: "Director Han, aren't you the chief director this time?"

Han Qiu nodded: "Yes, and no, I am the executive producer, and Wu Jing is the chief director. I will work with Director Wu Jing to complete this movie."

"I heard that the Transformers will cooperate with the Huaxia military this time, Director Han, is it true?" Another reporter asked.

"Yes, at that time, everyone can see our country's self-produced aircraft and tanks in the cinema."

Seeing Han Qiu nodding, many people present gasped.My goodness, the military actually cooperated with Han Banxian to shoot Transformers?
Filming a toy movie?
Big news, this is big news!

In the end, the reporters also asked some questions about Hu Ge, Han Xia and other leading actors, but compared to what broke out from Han Qiu, those were all pediatrics.

That night, a piece of news appeared on Huaxia's website under the push of the media.

[Han Banxian's new work is coming: Live-action Transformers! 】

[Investment of more than [-] million US dollars, an epic masterpiece! 】

[The movie will cooperate with the Chinese military, and strive to present the most realistic sci-fi war movie! 】

When audiences across the country saw the news, they couldn't help but stare blankly.

Live version.
Transformers?

(PS: In the real world, the Chinese army is really upright. Many of the tanks that appeared in Wolf Warrior 1 are still in service, and they were also borrowed for filming. But that shot was worth a lot of money.)
