The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 114 Qin Zhonghe's Lobbyist
Guoying office building, inside the chairman's office.

As soon as Chen Jingxing entered the door, he was warmly received by Mr. Qin.

"Xiao Chen is here, this is Liu Changhong, Director Liu... This is Xiao Chen, a genius director in our Huaguo film industry, a ghost director."

Liu Changhong has a face with Chinese characters, and has a military temperament that is not angry and arrogant. After Qin Zhonghe's introduction, Chen Jingxing knew that he is the team leader of the special case team of the Mekong River case, and also the main contact person of the film adaptation plan. .

After shaking hands, several people sat down.

After Chen Jingxing finished filming "Signal", he returned to the capital non-stop, and the editing was handed over to the producer. After the first cut version came out, Chen Jingxing would see if there were any adjustments that needed to be made.

The post-production is also jointly responsible by the producer and the visual effects supervisor sent by Mo.

Chen Jingxing returned to Beijing mainly to shoot "Source Code". Compared with the Hengdian studio rented by "Signal", "Source Code" is a studio built by himself in the Digital Industry Park under the National Film Corporation, which is also near the capital.

After returning to Beijing, Qin Zhonghe invited him to Guoying before meeting the crew members to discuss the Mekong River film project.

"Ju Liu, Director Chen came up with the story of Operation Mekong." Qin Zhonghe pointed to Chen Jingxing and said to Liu Changhong with a smile.

Liu Changhong looked at Chen Jingxing with admiring eyes: "Your young directors still have brains, after I read your plan, I am absolutely amazed!

This is the way of publicity in the new era. Who said the main theme can't attract the audience?Those Hollywood blockbusters are actually the main theme, and they also promote the truth, goodness and beauty, and the victory of justice over evil. The Mekong project also expresses the same truth. "

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qin Zhonghe again: "Old Qin, your National Film Group is nowhere to be found. You originally reported a production cost of 5000 million yuan. What kind of movie can you make with such a small amount of money? The TV series of the Mekong Project The investment is more than this amount!"

Qin Zhonghe couldn't help smiling wryly: "I have to think about recovering the cost. I also want to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. I have made this kind of anti-drug movie before, and the box office performance was not satisfactory."

Liu Changhong heard the words and said: "If you really follow your original plan to shoot, you may really lose money.

Director Xiao Chen, everyone in the department agrees with your story. I heard that the movie "Fatal Identity" has a global box office of 12 billion. This shows that the movie you made is not only loved by Chinese people, but also by foreigners. I also like to watch it. If you want me to talk about the Mekong project, you are the most suitable director. I know you are busy this year, and the film is estimated to be filmed until the end of the year. We are not in a hurry for this project, and we can start it next year. "

After listening to Liu Changhong's words, Chen Jingxing couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. After thinking for a long time, this is a lobbyist invited by Qin Zhonghe, and he still didn't give up the idea of ​​letting him be the director.

It seems that it will not work if you don't reveal the truth.

Chen Jingxing took a deep breath and said, "Boss Qin and Ju Liu, I really didn't deliberately shirk them. In my plan, next year DreamWorks will do its best to make a big project, and I really can't get away from it."

Hearing this, Qin Zhonghe was not unhappy at all, but asked with great interest, "What project?"

Qin Zhonghe loves movies, especially commercial movies. Some of the fifth-generation directors switched from literary and artistic films to commercial blockbusters, and he was behind his promotion.

The "Source Code" that Chen Jingxing is shooting is already a big project with an investment of nearly [-] million yuan, but according to him, a project that takes a year to produce is definitely much bigger than "Source Code".

"It's a heavy industry movie with a space theme."

"Space theme?"

Not only Qin Zhonghe was extremely curious, but even Liu Changhong couldn't hide his surprise.

Qin Zhonghe had thought about asking Chen Jingxing to make a real sci-fi blockbuster.

And the reason why he considered making way for "Signal" in the National Day file is also because of this idea.

Let Chen Jingxing owe him a favor, so that he can arrange a composition for him when the time comes.

But sci-fi movies related to space are something that Qin Zhonghe has never imagined.

Only Hollywood has made sci-fi movies on the subject of this plane, and the slightly harder ones are the movies based on the science fiction novels of Asimov, Clark, and Heinlein.

Such as "Star Trek", "Starship Troopers", "Foundation", "Galactic Empire" and so on.

A little softer is Star Wars.

Since the rise of comic films in Hollywood in the early 90s, most space sci-fi films have basically no studios willing to shoot them. At present, only "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" are still powerful and attractive. ", and only these two series can release a sequel every few years.

Therefore, when it comes to space themes, Qin Zhonghe immediately thinks of these two series.

"It's like "Star Wars"?" Qin Zhonghe couldn't believe it.

Although both "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" lack audiences in China, and Chinese people have no feelings for it, there are objective reasons for this.

On the other side of the ocean and even in the whole world, these two IPs have a strong influence. Hua Guo wants to make such a movie, even in Qin Zhonghe's wildest imagination, such an idea has never been born.

"Star Wars"?
Chen Jingxing was choked instead, looking at Qin Zhonghe's disbelieving face, he was speechless, the old man dared to think.

"It's not the same genre as Star Wars, it's a near-future movie."

"Can you be more specific?"

Qin Zhonghe felt slightly disappointed, and then laughed at himself in his heart, what was he thinking? One day, "Star Wars" is a miracle of the right time, place and people. Even if Hollywood wants to create such an IP now, it is already impossible.

But then he was a little confused about the three words Chen Jingxing said in the near future.

Chen Jingxing organized the language: "The background of the story and the elements involved are not significantly beyond the current level of human technology. I think it is more appropriate to say that this project is a disaster movie.

The story is probably in the near future, maybe a few years or more than ten years later, three astronauts of our country are performing missions in space, repairing the Sky Survey telescope..."

"Wait, Sky Survey Telescope?" Why does it even have a name?
Chen Jingxing smiled: "Is the name a little familiar? Because it is true. The space station plan from our country is listed on the homepage of the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It is planned to launch and build a long-term space station in orbit before 2020. At the same time, it will launch An optical telescope, the name is Sky Survey."

Qin Zhonghe shook his head lightly and sighed: "It seems that you have been prepared for a long time, have you conceived it for several years?"

Chen Jingxing did not refute, and continued: "... When the astronauts were performing their mission, they encountered an accident. My initial idea was that a meteorite hit a high-orbit satellite, and the high-energy and high-speed satellite fragments were brought to the same space station. Destroy the optical telescope together with the space station in the low-Earth orbit of the upper layer..."
