The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 578
"Person of Interest III" is really hot on Netflix.

After all, it is arrogance visible to the naked eye.

Netflix is ​​not without dramas with a single episode costing nearly 2000 million US dollars, but limited to Hollywood production costs, the visual effects of a single episode of [-] million US dollars may not be comparable to DreamWorks' single episode of [-] million yuan.

If Netflix did not use Hollywood's ready-made film and television production industry capabilities, but used teams from other countries, such as South Korea, Japan or European countries, he would not be able to spend so much money.

After all, Hollywood film and television can be exported to the world, and even the high cost can be recovered. The risk of film and television in other non-English-speaking countries is much greater.

In recent years, Netflix has tried to connect with South Korea's film and television industry because it has taken a fancy to South Korea's relatively mature but relatively cheap film and television production industry system.

Of course, Netflix is ​​naturally still the most hopeful to connect with Huaguo's film and television industry.

However, no matter in the previous life or in this life, it is very difficult to realize this wish, and the long video track that has become a red sea in China cannot accommodate any new forces or foreign forces.

However, in this world, DreamWorks has risen rapidly and its influence has spread overseas. Netflix has also established a stable cooperative relationship with DreamWorks in a timely manner, and even holds shares in each other, which can be regarded as a relatively large effort.

Whether it is cooperation with the Korean film and television industry or with DreamWorks, behind it is the use of film and television resources from Asian countries to explore the Asian market, and even open up the global market.

Several big scenes of "Suspect III" have indeed completely surpassed the level of the first two seasons, and even reached the level of a blockbuster visual effect.

From the perspective of production costs, the combined costs of the first two seasons of forty episodes can only be compared to the fifteen episodes of the third season.

No matter where it is, a novel, excellent and impactful audio-visual experience is a bonus item for film and television communication.

In China, several big scenes of "Suspect III", especially the audio-visual spectacle of the last episode, made it easy to spread on the short video platform.

"This man looked at the night sky without moving..."

"Watch carefully……"

"This man was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground, but the next second..."

"Our astronauts evacuated the space station urgently..."

"The most terrifying disaster since mankind entered the Industrial Revolution..."

In addition to this kind of low-end nonsense editing short videos, there are more simple ones that cut out some big scenes into short videos of more than ten seconds and then add horror titles to spread on the short video platform.

Many viewers who have not watched "Suspect Tracker III" will also be attracted by this kind of short video that is purely novelty-seeking or focuses on visual spectacle, and thus follows the drama.

Of course, Dreamworks and Huanshi.com have the right to ask short video platforms or other platforms to delete such videos, but the dissemination of such short videos and other second-generation videos is part of marketing itself, and both companies are happy to see it.

As for things like early spoilers, they are not considered.

Fans of DreamWorks or "Suspect Tracker", or viewers who like to watch such sci-fi themes will basically follow up the first time, no matter how bad it is, the second time. The speed of forums and social platforms Amway is also very fast.

This kind of widely disseminated visual spectacle short videos or clips, secondary creations, whether high-quality or low-quality, basically attract passer-by audiences, and they are not even the audience targeted by the show. They can attract one by one.

Not only domestic audiences will be moved by this kind of disaster visual effect scene, but also foreign countries.

Including some well-known bloggers on Youtube who mainly complain about new movies and dramas, channels similar to "honest trailers" for movie fans, marketing accounts that focus on various movie review videos, and bloggers who analyze the plot of popular movies Basically, they have done the "Suspect Tracker III" program one after another.

Of course, this also has the effect of Netflix marketing, but if these well-known bloggers with huge subscriptions can spend the money, the quality of the film and television drama itself must pass the test, after all, people want to make money for a long time.

This also helped "Suspect Tracker III" attract more viewers and fans on the basis of the previous two seasons.

In the conference room where the first script of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" was read, Chen Jingxing, Zhu Yilong and others, as well as many actors who came in one after another, chatted about "Suspect Tracker III".

After all, it is the hottest and most topical TV series at the moment.

Don't say that you like this drama, even if you don't catch a cold, you still have to pay a few flattery.

"Do you like watching videos of this kind of reaction?"

Chen Jingxing has seen it before, and there is even a reaction in a movie like "Matrix", where a small theater is reserved and a camera is set up in front to film people's reactions.

But he felt a little fake.

"I watched it when "Soul Soul" was broadcast." Zhu Yilong was not hypocritical.

Although Chen Jingxing was not the director during the filming of "Once Upon a Time on Earth: Prelude", Chen Jingxing, as the producer, is also quite familiar with the crew. Zhu Yilong no longer feels strange or nervous about Chen Jingxing.

Reaction videos have also been popular in domestic film and television dramas, but they are mainly based on the reactions of foreigners, such as the reactions of Koreans watching domestic dramas.

Dangai dramas are easier to get out of the circle, and almost like idol dramas, they are types that Huaguo is easier to export overseas.

Chen Jingxing also has the habit of searching for his own works and watching how audiences or film critics blow rainbow farts. This is human nature, and he doesn't find it surprising.

"Aren't you impatient for 'Once Upon a Time on Earth'?" Producer Hu Xiaochen joked.

Any actor hopes that his work can meet the audience as soon as possible, and then get good reviews.

However, "Once Upon a Time on Earth: Prelude" is the opening chapter of the entire movie series. If it needs to cooperate well with the movie, it must not be released easily. After all, the plot of the movie follows the drama, and the movie cannot be released after a year after the drama is finished.

This is also the reason why Chen Jingxing rejected Huanshi.com's plan to buy "Once Upon a Time on Earth: Prelude" as an exclusive broadcast copyright.

This show is definitely going to be launched online.

Just as he was talking, Hao Lei walked in from the door.

"Sister Hao is here."

"I'm really sorry, the plane is delayed..."

"It's okay, today I just go through the script first, nothing else."

As Chen Jingxing's film, "Once Upon a Time on Earth", the script is naturally highly confidential. It was the first script reading today, and the main creators got the anti-copy and anti-sneak script.

As a movie script, the length is not long, and in about an hour, everyone has finished reading it.

Zhu Yilong had already finished reading it, and because of the script of "Prelude", he was surprised by the sudden upgrade of the environmental protection KB organization to the background of aliens, and the sudden expansion of the entire worldview, but he was not unprepared.

The other main actors are basically the original cast of "Overture".

It was the first time for Hao Lei to come into contact with this story, and she couldn't help being overwhelmed by the huge amount of information.

In order to help her sort out the whole story, Chen Jingxing also told her roughly the plot of "Prelude", and at the same time gave Hao Lei the script of "Prelude", asking her to read it slowly after returning home.

"I'm the only one playing the role of Ye Wenjie?"

Hao Lei was both excited and surprised.

Although she still has some doubts about the plot involving sci-fi fantasies, she already has a preliminary understanding of Ye Wenjie's character arc.

This role is indeed worthy of the weight of the heroine, and it is quite a challenging and attractive female role.

In today's male-dominated film industry, such female roles are quite rare.

Her first reaction was not whether playing this kind of villain would damage her own image. To a certain extent, she is also a drama idiot, otherwise she would not have accepted "Summer Palace" in spite of the opposition and huge pressure around her. I have been acting in dramas for years.

It's not even a worry about passing the trial.

But already getting excited about the role and doing character building.

The second reaction was to ask if she played this role alone?

For a role with such a large age span, it is reasonable to say that the girlhood or youth will at least be allocated to young actors.

"Have you heard of age reduction technology? Hu Ge and Wan Qian used age reduction technology in the train scene in "Suspect Tracker III", and there are some memories of the plot."

Hao Lei was stunned: "I just watched Episode No.13 on the plane, and I wondered how it seemed that Pan Yueming and Duan Yihong could appear so young in the reminiscence of the plot. I heard that the cost of this technology is not small. "

Although Hao Lei is an actress, she is no stranger to some news in the film and television industry, and even foreign film and television circles. After all, she often watches domestic and foreign film and television works.

The streaming movie "The Irishman", which caused an uproar in Hollywood last year, used age reduction technology, which cost a lot of money.

Chen Jingxing said in a rather spirited way: "It doesn't cost much, and it is worth spending the money to achieve the best results. Ye Wenjie will use this technology in her old age and youth. You are in "Suspect Tracker III" I also saw that the effect is not worse than "The Irishman."

As an important soul character in the story of "The Three-Body Problem", the shaping of Ye Wenjie, an atypical villain, is the top priority.

A single actor from beginning to end is naturally better than two actors or even more actors.

Switching actors will definitely make the audience feel detached. Even if it is only for a moment, the sense of role substitution and emotional resonance are prone to disconnection or weakening, and it is impossible to achieve a coherent and smooth progressive effect.

Moreover, Hao Lei has a lot of video data when she was young, which also brings convenience to the special effects of age reduction.

The template of her childhood can completely be applied to her image in "The Summer Palace".

Putting aside some large-scale performances and only looking at the image, Hao Lei in "The Summer Palace" fits the role very well in Chen Jingxing's heart.

It has the feeling of a delicate girl from the past era.

And there is a touch of sensitive, artistic, and even depressing temperament.

She is spiritual in the camera, and her temperament is different from Mr. Zhou's, but not much worse.

Hao Lei is hailed by many people as the goddess of literary films, not just flattery or some kind of character creation.
