The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 502 The troubles of happiness

Jiang Ruoping, the big housekeeper of Guoying, finally came here with anxiety and returned satisfied.

Although Chen Jingxing was not allowed to take over the task of filming "Battle of Jincheng" as he wished, but he was able to get three tribute films for the 70th anniversary of the Korean War from Chen Jingxing in one go, and the harvest was far beyond his previous preparations.

As for Chen Jingxing's refusal of the "Battle of Jincheng" proposition, he had already forgotten about it at this moment.

It is not difficult to find the helm of the proposition composition.

There is no shortage of famous directors and stars in China, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, China, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan and Japan. The production chain, special effects, and upstream and downstream technologies of the industrial chain are basically mature, and there is no shortage of talents and funds.

It is not comparable to Hollywood, but it is also second only to Hollywood's film and television industry.

And although it is not an apportioned task in principle, film and television companies and major filmmakers have the right to refuse, but not many people will really refuse.

You don't need to worry about funds, if you have no money, Guoying will pay for it.

Moreover, gift films have preferential treatment for promotion and film scheduling. Many companies are eager to take this opportunity to make military blockbusters. Isn't it the military-themed films that are still firmly at the top of the Huaguo movie box office list?
Maybe it looks like a lot of flowers, but you can't ask whether people use "jobs" to fool you.

Even if it is a big director, from the producer to the photography, from the producer to the actors, they all have a luxurious team with countless awards, and it is not certain that they will be able to present a high-quality film.

But it doesn't suck either.

It is to deal with you with work.

Art is unreasonable, people can have countless excuses.

Even if Douban fails, and the audience criticizes in unison, they can still be perfunctory with rhetoric such as "you don't understand", "everyone has his own love", "art appreciation has a threshold".

And you can't say anything, after all, this is a propositional composition, with limited room for development and insufficient time, these are all ready-made excuses.

People in the industry like Jiang Ruoping, and even experienced audiences can feel whether the director and the production team are doing business.

On the contrary, it is not doing business, and you can feel the sincerity.

From Chen Jingxing's creativity and planning, Jiang Ruoping could see his sincerity.

After all, if there is no sincerity, who would think of making a special war movie with "one shot to the end"?
A one-shot movie itself belongs to the level of avant-garde art.

Let alone a war movie.

It would be an understatement to say that this is a strange, great cinematic experiment.

From the perspective of film history, if such a film can be made, then its milestone significance is greater than that of "Gravity".

And it is quite difficult to shoot.

A director who just wants to be a licensed film will definitely not make such a movie.

In addition to the two "atypical" war films in "[-]", Chen Jingxing also presented another film as a gift.

It was in the previous life that Chen Jingxing believed that the top military-themed unit drama "Neng Wen Neng Wu Li Yannian" was made by Hua Guo.

This is a work that not only inherits the traditional military films of China, but also fully combines some technical characteristics and narrative logic of modern excellent commercial film and television shooting.

There is a reason why the vast majority of military action film and television works in the world love individual heroes and brotherhood.

This is not just a problem of Hua Guo, nor is it just a problem of Hong Kong and Taiwan directors or other directors.

But personal heroes and brotherhood are in line with the logic of commercial film production.

It is also the key that is the easiest to mobilize the audience's emotions and touch the hearts of the audience.

To some extent, just like "rescue at the last minute" and "the hero's rebellious and rebellious character" in many military movies, it is a mature formula that has been tried and tested.

The more obedient and highly organized the background in the army, the more it needs a rebellious, unrestrained, individual heroic protagonist who is not highly obedient.

The same is true of brotherhood.

However, organization and politics are not in line with business logic, or it is very difficult to make a good film that can entertain and educate.

If you want to break through mature commercial routines to make a commercial film, you have to overcome more difficulties, otherwise commercial routines will not be so popular.

And "Li Yannian" has undoubtedly achieved this.

However, what made Chen Jingxing feel a little regretful was that "Li Yannian", as a unit in a TV series, had insufficient investment and obvious problems such as props.

Of course, from the perspective of a TV series, the audiovisual effects of "Li Yannian" are top-notch.

But it's not enough to put it on the big screen.

A book like "Li Yannian" was made into a drama, while some books with a collapsed narrative turned out to be movies with an investment of billions.

This is something that Chen Jingxing has long felt incomprehensible and regrettable.

"Li Yannian" deserves to be interpreted with a film-level production level.

Of course, adapting the story of "Li Yannian" into a movie is not as simple as talking about it, because it is a six-episode TV series, the structure is a bit scattered, and the rhythm is slightly insufficient when it is put on the big screen.

But the story itself is tenable, and this is not a big problem.

However, there is no way for Chen Jingxing to direct the film "Li Yannian", and the time is too late. After all, "[-]" is the real challenge.

"Li Yannian" is a strong feature film, as long as the script comes out, it is not too difficult to shoot.

However, although he promised three films to China Film in one go, they are still on paper. After all, Chen Jingxing still has "Matrix III" and "Interstellar".

"Nineteen Fifty-One" will have to wait until the production of these two films is completed.

……

Guoying Digital Industrial Park, inside a greenhouse.

"Director, it's been a long time. Are you here to visit the set?"

Yan Xiaoyue's teasing made Chen Jingxing feel guilty for a long time, but he still replied cheekily: ""Matrix" is already a mature crew, isn't this letting you go and let you be self-reliant?"

The thickest face is invincible, Yan Xiaoyue could only roll her eyes helplessly seeing that she couldn't arouse Chen Jingxing's introspection.

The director of "Matrix III", Chen Jingxing, was a bit out of place.

It didn't take long for the movie to catch up with the National Day file. In order to promote "Inception", he had to become a global trapeze halfway through the road show for half a month.

From time to time, from "Gravity", now with the solid cooperation with Universal Pictures, the improvement of the global distribution network, and the reputation of himself and DreamWorks overseas is becoming more and more famous.

As a result, the market value of Chen Jingxing's films has also been greatly improved. Even if China is excluded, there is still a potential of [-] to [-] million US dollars overseas, which is not much worse than that in China.

This also made Chen Jingxing no longer able to be a hand-off shopkeeper in the film's publicity and release process. The half-month global road show has been compressed as much as possible.

When it came to the Spring Festival, "WALL-E" was inherently lacking in subject matter, so Chen Jingxing had to go on an overseas promotional tour with the animation director in person.

His "old father" can only adopt a stocking strategy for "Matrix III".

However, it seems that the filming cycle of "Matrix III" has not been delayed. The scene where the male protagonist in Group C is trapped in the matrix and the final battle scene with the savior and the man in black in Group B have all been filmed.

The executive directors of the three groups have done a good job, but this is also based on the finalized script of the shot.

Only the filming of Group A's Huaxu Kingdom fighting against the robot army has not yet been completed.

The scenes in Group A are the most difficult, and he still needs to check them out.

From this point of view, Chen Jingxing is more like the producer of "Matrix III".

He was also a little helpless about this, so he could only make up his mind to give more red envelopes to several assistant directors and executive directors, and give them more cuts.

After all, the director of "Matrix III" must be him, even if it is in name, it must bear his name.

This is a billion-dollar blockbuster, and there can be no surprises.

In order to express his deep apology, Chen Jingxing announced that he would call off work early and was going to treat the crew members to a meal.

Even the assistant directors and executive directors of Group B and Group C were called over.

Several executive assistant directors who took on the actual director duties for Chen Jingxing didn't complain much.

First of all, there are quite a lot of famous directors in the circle.

"Are you still taking pictures yourself?" These words are true.

Chen Jingxing's half-time follow-up with the group and half-time offline is already considered responsible.

And "Matrix" is indeed special. As the last film of the trilogy, Chen Jingxing must be the director, but after the first two films, the entire crew has been polished and matured.

In addition, the script and storyboards have been finalized long ago, and the special effects shots are the most in the trilogy. Almost the whole process was shot in the greenhouse, which can be said to be a semi-finished product of the assembly line.

Storyboard design is the soul of the director, and the storyboards were completed by Chen Jingxing, so it's not a bad idea for the other party to be the director.

In addition, there are generous bonuses.

This is the practice of DreamWorks, especially for Chen Jingxing's movies, after the box office hits, they will give red envelopes to the main creators of the film crew, the amount is not cheap.

99% of dissatisfaction can be eliminated by giving generously.

"Director, when will the filming of "Special Mobile Team" start?"

Yan Xiaoyue asked boldly while drinking mineral water.

As an actress, and she is still filming, she must pay attention to her diet. Her costumes are mainly leather clothes. If there is a slight out of shape, dressing will become difficult.

And on the big screen, weight gain is hard to hide.

Of course, Yan Xiaoyue is not alone, Lv Hongzhe and several other actors also have a taste of it, relying on drinking water to fill their stomachs to curb their appetite.

Constant chatting is also a useful way to curb your appetite.

Yan Xiaoyue's inquiry made everyone listen quietly.

Obviously, this inquiry is to ask for the meaning of the character.

On the contrary, the others were secretly a little surprised. As expected of the first generation of Miss Chen, they were very courageous—there were only three people known as Miss Chen, Yan Xiaoyue, Wu Yue, and Wan Qian.

Although "Inception" used Zhou Dongyu, and "Interstellar" which has not yet been filmed, Yuan Wei and Nini were fixed, but these three are all well-known actresses, and two of them are still girls.

Chen Jingxing was not surprised by Yan Xiaoyue's question. When "Sky Eagle Warrior" announced the filming, he had revealed that "Special Mobile Team" would also be a movie.

And the heroine of "Special Mobile Team" is really more suitable for Yan Xiaoyue.

As the captain of the mobile team with a full-body prosthetic body, and there are still a lot of fighting scenes, if there is a choice, he must choose Daomadan.

Regardless of age, figure, temperament and play experience, Yan Xiaoyue is almost the first choice.

The only problem is that "Special Mobile Team" has not yet been approved.

Chen Jingxing was also a little distressed: "DreamWorks has too many projects now, at least it will have to wait until next year."

DreamWorks is currently working on and will be working on projects including "Matrix III", "Skyhawk", "Spike III", "Interstellar" and the film version of "The Walking Dead".

They are all heavy industry blockbusters. Except for "The Walking Dead", each of them is a blockbuster with an investment of more than 5 million.

At the same time, "The Wandering Earth" is undergoing post-production, and the animated film "Inside Out" is also under intense production.

There is also a TV series "Once Upon a Time on Earth: Prelude" that is no less special effects blockbuster

Although the number of projects of DreamWorks is the bottom among the six major domestic film studios, the current production scale is enough to compete with China Film Group, or even better - the two 70th anniversary gift films also let National Cinema is quite busy.

This is really a happy trouble.

DreamWorks is already in a saturated state of operation, and can't spare any resources to make other projects.

Although the script of the "Special Mobile Team" movie is already in the process of being created, it may still be a long way from the preparation of the project.
