The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 115 Space Science Fiction Movie
"...In short, the last surviving astronauts have returned to Earth after suffering all kinds of hardships in space."

After Chen Jingxing finished speaking, he held a teacup and sipped an unknown type of tea, looked at Qin Zhonghe who hadn't recovered yet, and secretly laughed in his heart.

At first, Qin Zhonghe felt that the space station was smashed, how could people return to Earth?
Following Chen Jingxing's narration, I felt unbelievable in my heart, but after thinking about it, it seemed quite reasonable?
He is not a scientist, and he can't raise any objections. Of course, science fiction movies are naturally allowed to have some illusory elements.

Liu Changhong said suddenly: "You said that the last surviving astronaut returned to Earth using the escape capsule of Tiangong-[-]?"

Chen Jingxing nodded with a smile.

The escape sequence of the original version of "Gravity" is: the space shuttle and Hubble telescope are destroyed by satellite debris - escape to the International Space Station, and then the International Space Station is also destroyed by satellite debris - escape to the Tiangong space station with the escape capsule of the International Space Station.

However, Chen Jingxing revised it to: the optical module and space station of Xuntian were destroyed by satellite debris—and fled to the abandoned International Space Station. After the International Space Station was destroyed again—the escape capsule of the International Space Station was used to escape to the still-orbiting Tiangong. No. [-] finally returned to Earth with the landing module of Tiangong No. [-].

Huaguo's space station plan is divided into three steps. In 2011, the undocked Tiangong-2016 was launched. In 2019, the manned docking and permanent Tiangong-[-] was launched. In [-], several core modules, experimental modules, and optical modules were launched. into a large space station.

In the previous world, due to the failure of the second launch of the Long March 5, the construction of the final large space station was delayed for two years. According to the original plan, the space station could be completed before 2.

Tiangong-2019 entered the atmosphere under control in the second half of [-].

Therefore, if everything goes smoothly, within a short period of time, Huaguo can have two space stations orbiting in low-Earth orbit at the same time.

In this version of gravity, Chen Jingxing set the Tiangong-[-] small space station, which has no one stationed there, in orbit for a long time, so that it can serve as the last link of the triple jump in the movie.

Start from Tiangong and end from Tiangong.

Qin Zhonghe also reacted quickly: "When will Tiangong-[-] launch?"

Chen Jingxing has long been prepared: "It is expected to be 2016."

Qin Zhonghe made some calculations. It was produced in 2015 and released in 2016. Isn't this just in time?
He originally wanted to persuade Chen Jingxing to make a sci-fi blockbuster with the main theme next year, but now he doesn't have to worry about it.

Not only is there a sci-fi blockbuster, but it is also a space sci-fi blockbuster!

A theme that has never been seen in the history of Huaguo film!

Liu Changhong on the side interrupted Qin Zhonghe's intoxication: "Hey, Lao Qin, this movie sounds really exciting, but it's not appropriate to use it as a tribute to my country's aerospace industry, right? People's Tiangong No. [-] is posted, It's not auspicious for you to crash in this movie, right?"

Qin Zhonghe waved his hand without thinking too much, indicating that there is no problem: "It must not be said to be a gift film, and there is no such plan." Nonsense, as far as the current level of Huaguo's film industry is concerned, no one would expect you to be able to shoot now. Come out a science fiction movie with a space theme.

"Although it is not a tribute film, it is also a theme film. You have to think about it from a different angle, and don't always think about the destruction of the space station.

Instead, our astronauts encountered a sudden disaster in space, and they did not abandon or give up. They worked hard to find hope in a desperate situation, and the astronauts also helped each other. In order to let the other party get the hope of life, one of the astronauts, He also sacrificed himself, and finally returned to Earth safely through our country's space station.

The astronauts of our country encountered a disaster, and finally survived through our country’s spacecraft, and the International Space Station was involved in the middle. This also involves international cooperation. Is there anything more thematic than this energy correction?
This is also completely in line with people-oriented thinking ah?
Disaster films can also be the main theme, as long as the disaster films convey to the audience a positive spirit, an optimistic spirit, and a spirit of never giving up, there is no problem. "

Chen Jingxing and Liu Changhong were a little dazed.

As expected of the helm of China Film, the uncrowned king of Huaguo film industry, the pattern is indeed different.

Chen Jingxing thought about it carefully. In the original version of "Gravity", when he saw the heroine finally return to the earth through the Tiangong return capsule, with the exciting music, it can indeed bring people hope and moving emotions. This is true. It's the main theme.

In fact, the value orientation of the original "Gravity" was anti-technological utopia, even anti-spaceism, which was completely opposite to "The Martian".

But this meaning is relatively vague and not explicit, and it is not difficult for Chen Jingxing to correct it.

"You two should have not forgotten that we are here to discuss the Mekong River project?" Liu Changhong reminded.

Chen Jingxing raised his eyebrows, of course he has not forgotten that the purpose of talking about "Gravity" is actually to talk about the Mekong River.

"Dr. Qin, the project "Gravity" is unprecedented. All the scenes of this movie are in space, and the special effects shots will probably surpass all previous domestic movies, and even most Hollywood movies.

This will be the first heavy industry movie in the history of Huaguo Films. The resources and strength required are beyond DreamWorks' own ability. I welcome Guoying to join in. "

Qin Zhonghe was not surprised at all. Of course he wanted to join such a project, and the young director on the other side, speaking out about this project on this occasion, of course meant that he wanted Guoying to join.

Chen Jingxing had already considered letting National Film Group participate in "Gravity".

The production cost of the original "Gravity" was as high as 1.5 million US dollars, and Chen Jingxing was unable to reduce the cost on a large scale while ensuring that the quality of the film would not shrink compared with the original work.

Because the two leading actors in the original "Gravity" were not paid well, the main production budget of the film was special effects.

At present, domestic special effects companies, even if Chen Jingxing is a shareholder of More (Mo), with this level of special effects movies, they can only start at the beginning for the time being, and the main work still depends on foreign special effects companies, so the production cost can be reduced to 2000 million. Dollars are fine.

That is to say, the minimum production cost should be more than 8 million RMB.

And the two projects that DreamWorks is currently working on, plus "Operation Mekong" that Chen Jingxing also wants to join-the production cost of this film may also reach nearly 2 million.

Therefore, "Gravity" cannot be supported by DreamWorks alone, and even shareholders such as Huanshiwang, Penguin Video, and United Cinemas will be very cautious.

At present, in the Huaguo film market, the highest box office of domestic films is only 12 billion. It is difficult to recover the production cost of [-] to [-] million, and it is even more difficult to make a profit.

Although the Huaguo film industry's imagination of the box office expansion rate of a single film is indeed lower than reality.

But even if in a few years, the era of more than 50 billion box office movies is born, few companies dare to spend a lot of money on the film projects that will recover the cost of the 25 billion box office, and it is still an original film project. hit.
