The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 133 The Black Version of Hugo
In late September, "Source Code", which had been filmed for nearly 9 days, was finally finished.

In fact, the original filming plan could be completed in two months. The investment of "Source Code" is larger than that of "Signal", but the shooting time is shorter, because the shooting scenes are quite fixed.

Unexpectedly, it ended half a month later than originally planned.

The next step is the long post-production. Chen Jingxing's arrangement for "Source Code" is that if the post-production can catch up, it will be released in the Spring Festival in 15, and if not, it will be released in the summer.

Although it seems long, a movie, especially a big production, is considered very lucky to be released within a year of filming.

However, he still hopes to release it during the Spring Festival as much as possible, because Chen Jingxing still has many projects and plans in his heart, and he needs to implement and develop them one by one.

Not just for special effects giants like "Gravity" - of course, this is also one of the reasons, in case the huge cost really frightens the few shareholders brought in by DreamWorks and China Film, so there must be sufficient funds The reserve supports him to advance the project even if he goes it alone.

In addition, there are more film projects and even TV drama projects and animation projects to be produced. Chen Jingxing dreams of making DreamWorks a real cultural export bastion in Huaguo.

Because he clearly knows that streaming media will gradually change the global film and television market in the next few years.

The streaming media giants represented by Netflix will not only subvert Hollywood's cultural work creation model, but also bring new opportunities.

Opportunities for disadvantaged cultural circles, or cultural export opportunities for non-English-speaking countries.

The localization policy of streaming media giants will allow cultural creators in many countries and regions to directly connect with the productivity bred by the Hollywood film industry, and directly bypass asset-heavy theaters to connect different languages ​​and cultures on streaming media. barrier.

This is the reconfiguration of creative resources and the productivity of the American film industry. It is a version of the "Belt and Road" initiative in which the Hollywood film industry digests excess production capacity.

This is why the Hollywood film industry, which was originally extremely repulsive to streaming media, finally surrendered to the transformative cause of streaming media, at the expense of theaters-the black swan incident was just a catalyst to shorten this change.

Because the ultimate winner is still America’s film and television production industry, but he has hidden deeper, retreated to the upstream, tore off the label of the terminal product, and became a chip manufacturer.

Chen Jingxing does not have the ambition or the ability to engage in streaming media platforms in this era.

Especially for streaming media platforms that span different cultures and races, that can’t be achieved by just making a few good-looking movies, it’s a completely different way of playing, it’s another field.

But DreamWorks can become an excellent cultural producer. As long as he can ensure that his products are popular, he can take a free ride on all streaming media, and even let streaming media serve him. This is a win-win situation in itself.

Now that he has crossed over, Chen Jingxing does not intend to let the neighboring peninsula countries be the only ones.

"Director Chen, let me toast you again."

Hu Ge interrupted the grand blueprint that Chen Jingxing was constructing.

Chen Jingxing was a little helpless, he was forced to drink another glass, and his glass was filled with red wine. In terms of drinking capacity, he is really a disgrace to the director world.

When directors Chen Jingxing and Ning Hao were exchanging and studying in the United States, Chen Sicheng complained that because of the arrangement of "Northern Love", half a month before the film was released, he almost drank it all night. , The director naturally needs a lot, even if there are assistants and actors to share, the wine can be bottled.

Not only Chen Sicheng, but also other directors have more or less such experiences, that is, Ning Hao has become famous, and he has rarely suffered such torture in the past two years.

At that time, Chen Jingxing could only listen silently, not daring to go to Versailles, or he would be beaten up by other directors.

"Comet" was distributed online, so naturally there was no need to deal with theater managers. "Fatal Identity" won the Orlando Gold Award, and because it was Huanshi.com's first entry into the rivers and lakes after two years, the distribution really did not allow him to do much.

As for the distribution of "Fatal Identity" in North America, Columbia, who bought out the copyright, is naturally fully responsible. It is considered as merciful for him to cooperate with the last talk show.

Besides, sexual bribery is popular in distribution in North American theaters, and drinking and drinking are not popular.

"Okay, let's stop here. Hu, if you really want to thank me, you can make "Operation Mekong" well. The higher the box office, the more I will earn." Whoever becomes the director of "Operation Mekong", Hu Ge may not be able to become the leading actor.

"Don't you still have to train and build muscle? Drinking too much is not good for your body."

This sentence persuaded Hu Ge. Although the role of "Operation Mekong" has basically been set, it is not in a hurry to start shooting. It is expected that the filming will not start until the beginning of 15.

In addition to the fact that Guo Fan had to go to the Ministry of Public Security to obtain first-hand materials, he also had to go to the border between China, Thailand and Burma for on-the-spot investigations to improve the script and production plan.

All actors need to undergo muscle-building and military training. Even if there are substitutes, many actions need to be done by the actors themselves, and they must conform to the setting of the role-it must be conveyed to the audience on the big screen that the characters have a certain degree of military strength. Training traces, including the action of holding a gun and shooting, and the posture of sitting, lying and walking, all these must be figured out and used through training.

Moreover, Guo Fan also suggested that Hu Ge could try tanning, but Hu Ge actually agreed. Even Chen Jingxing was a little surprised, he didn't expect him to put in so much effort for this drama.

After shaving for a month, the hair will grow back. After tanning, it may not be able to recover in a short time.

Hugo's skin is not white, and it is obvious to continue to darken it to get closer to the character's state.

However, he was willing to make such an effort, which really made Chen Jingxing let go of a little worry in his heart. He was quite satisfied with the Wanwan actor who played the male lead in the original version of "Operation Mekong", but Wanwan's voice is easy to make people play , and it is not easy to change.

Chen Jingxing imagined a Hu Ge with a darker complexion, plus a few months of muscle gain, he believed that when the movie was released in theaters, even Hu Ge's fans would be surprised.

In addition to Hu Ge, there is also Wan Qian who is extremely grateful to Chen Jingxing. Before "Source Code", he only filmed TV dramas, and he rarely played the heroine in TV dramas. Unexpectedly, his resources soared in just one audition. .

Before the filming of "Source Code" was finished, I received an appointment for the lead actress in the sequel of "Xiu Chun Knife" - this time it was indeed the credit of the miraculous "night banquet" that was rumored in the circle, and Lu Yang was indeed at that time Wan Qian and Lei Jiayin met at the dinner party, and when the National Film Corporation launched a sequel to "Embroidered Spring Knife", Lu Yang immediately sent them an audition invitation.

The company Wan Qian signed with was China Television Entertainment, one of the largest artist management companies in China, which has top artists like Zhang Ziyi and Liu Yifei.

Wan Qian's treatment in the past few months has achieved a triple jump. From the time Chen Jingxing was selected as the heroine of "Source Code", her manager was immediately replaced by Zhang Xun, the artist director of China Television, and became Liu Yifei's senior junior sister.

For Wan Qian, a female artist who has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has not yet made her mark, she knows better than anyone that she can meet someone in this circle who is willing to support her or create opportunities for her. How lucky.
