The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 134 "Gravity" Heroine
"Sister Wu, do you have any plans for the next schedule?"

After discussing with Hu Ge and Wan Qian about their next play, Chen Jingxing turned his attention to Wu Yue who had been quiet and low key.

Wu Yue played the role of the female officer in "Source Code", and she played a very important role. Chen Jingxing was very impressed by her acting skills in his previous life. She is a seriously underrated actress.

Although he has quite superb acting skills, he is also a supporting role for ten thousand years. He has been in various TV dramas.

Although she is over 30 years old, she is well maintained. At least she has no problem playing a middle-aged female role in her [-]s.

Chen Jingxing's question seemed to be a silent spell, even the air became quiet.

Because this sentence is obviously meaningful, Wan Qian, who is sitting next to Wu Yue, is very familiar with this sentence, because the day after she returned home after the audition, she received a call from the producer of "Source Code". Phone: "Do you have any other projects for the upcoming schedule?"

Resources are power. Everyone in this vanity fair knows that the words Chen Jingxing asked may contain a chance to ascend to heaven.

Even a person like Wu Yue who has a somewhat easy-going personality feels a little nervous: "I just received a TV drama script in my hand, and I haven't finished reading it yet."

Chen Jingxing said with a smile: "I also have a script here, if you are willing to consider it, I will send it to you tomorrow."

This is very likely to be Chen Jingxing's next film project, only a fool would refuse, although Wu Yue's career as an actress is mediocre, it doesn't mean she has no dreams and ambitions.

Regarding Wu Yue's affirmative answer, Chen Jingxing was not surprised at all: "Believe me, none of the other dramas you have accepted are comparable to this script. This is a one-man show, and the role gives you more room to play than any other drama you have acted in before." .”

The role that Chen Jingxing wanted Wu Yue to play was the heroine of "Gravity".

"Gravity" is often overlooked because of its superb visual effects, the difficulty of the heroine's performance. In fact, this role has a lot of room to play, and the requirements for acting skills are also very high.

This movie is actually a dramatic structure of struggling to survive. The characters' despair and fear, despair after gaining hope and then seeing hope again, as well as the strong will to survive, all require a strong performance appeal.

In Chen Jingxing's mind, the heroine of "Gravity" should be the most powerful female character on the screen at home and abroad for decades.

Not physically strong, but mentally and spiritually strong.

Her firm will to survive, and her gentle but extremely tenacious character should surprise and shock the audience.

Because the spacecraft was destroyed and the astronauts were floating alone in space, this environment setting itself would give the audience a great sense of despair.

This sense of despair is even stronger than being on a deserted island. Probably only a person in a shipwreck and drifting on the endless sea in a lifeboat can compare to it.

And this kind of story background that even the audience despairs of can make the charm of the character itself shocking.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, what Chen Jingxing wants is the space version of "I Am Legend".

Only such an extremely charming character can allow the audience to immerse themselves in it better, and to affect the fate of the character, and complete the climax of the movie-watching experience when the heroine sets foot on land.

Chen Jingxing believes that the original version of "Gravity" is somewhat lacking in character creation.

But this can't be blamed on Sandra Bullock, because what Cuaron wants to shoot is not a sci-fi film like "The Martian", nor is it "Interstellar". "Gravity" has a very negative core from beginning to end. anti-spaceist film, and has strong religious tropes.

Its essence is a movie of the same type as "Interstellar Exploration", the main theme is anti-space exploration, but it is much better than "Interstellar Exploration".

This is also a big reason why it has been recognized by a large number of awards as a sci-fi blockbuster. The theme of the movie has given it a higher level of so-called artistry.

The theme of Chen Jingxing's version of "Gravity" is in line with "The Martian".

That is the spirit of scientific optimism that never gives up.

Chen Jingxing wants to make "Gravity", "The Martian" and "Interstellar" into a space trilogy, and it is a trilogy that is related to each other.

In his opinion, Wu Yue is an actress with great energy, her acting skills are good enough for this role, and he also believes that any middle-aged actress who is interested in acting will not refuse.

In the film and television drama market in Huaguo, middle-aged actresses, in addition to pretending to be tender and falling in love, are left to pretend to be old children and mothers. The opportunities for middle-aged actresses are far less than those of male actors of the same age. "Gravity" The heroine is definitely the most scarce female character in the country.

After the heroine of "Gravity" was arranged, the other actors of "Source Code" all left, and Chen Jingxing left only the film's special effects director and the founder of Mo, Xu Sheng.

He wants to finalize the controlling stake of morevfx here.

When Chen Jingxing invested in Mo, he took a step back and only got 40% of the shares.

First, the founders of Mo could not accept being acquired, and he inquired from many sources at the time that Mo was indeed one of the best special effects studios in China. When it comes to the relative holding, that is, the largest shareholder.

However, if the four founders of Mode together have more shares than DreamWorks, and these four are friends, they are basically acting in concert, so the relative holding of DreamWorks is basically controlling loneliness.

Not getting 51% is false.

On the other hand, Chen Jingxing still needs a period of time to observe Mo. If the company fails to meet his expectations, he can withdraw calmly. After all, he has experience in the post-production visual effects of "Signal" and "Source Code" , not afraid of not being able to find another home.

After several months of cooperation and contact, Chen Jingxing admired Mo, especially his several founders. Mo's technical ability was second to none. The important thing was that their pursuit of technological improvement made Chen Jingxing very satisfied.

Only such a special effects company with technical pursuits will not waste his feeding of one industrial film after another.

Now that he has figured out the personality of the founder Xu Sheng, it is very easy to deal with, Chen Jingxing took out the project plan of "Gravity" without saying a word.

Xu Sheng flipped through the pages in a daze and read a few pages, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and then opened wider and wider.

"Director Chen... Is this project the next movie that DreamWorks will make?" Xu Sheng asked in disbelief.

Such a movie that takes place entirely in a space environment, does this young man really understand what it means?Does he know how difficult it is to shoot this type of film?Any idea how many special effects shots were involved?Any idea how much that means in production?
Chen Jingxing smiled satisfied with Xu Sheng's expression: "That's right, this is the next movie I want to make."
