Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 233 The film is finalized, "Shanghai Fortress" is competing

Chapter 230: "Shanghai Fortress" is set to be filmed

Leaning against a big tree can enjoy the shade. This sentence can be said to be vividly displayed in the movie "My Motherland and Me".

In addition to the main production of Huaxia Films, Bona Films, and Ali Films, there are also 48 companies that jointly produce, basically covering most of the companies currently active in the film and television industry. It has covered half of the film and television industry.

Whether it's topic management or water army campaigns, everything went very smoothly.

Since the release of the film's director list, topics related to the film "My Motherland and Me" have dominated the hot search list on Weibo.

Seeing that "My Motherland and Me" was gaining momentum, Guo Fan couldn't sit still.

Originally, he didn't plan to promote the movie in advance. After all, with the cast they tentatively decided on, they really couldn't find anything to promote it.

But it's different now. With Lin Yuan starring, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" can be regarded as having a flow core.

In addition, Lin Yuan is the director of the film "My Motherland and Me", and now the topic of discussion on the entire Internet is high, which is a good opportunity to get a piece of it and promote the film "The Wandering Earth".

No way, who told their crew to have a low budget for film announcements.

Now the opportunity is in front of us, Guo Fan, as the director, definitely wants to fight for it.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, the production team will start work at the beginning of the month. We plan to take the time to invite the media to hold a movie release conference in the next few days. I wonder if you have time to come over?"

Today's movie release conferences are nothing more than changing the name of the movie conference, and the essence is to promote the movie.

It just focuses on the movie schedule, and bundles the movie with the release schedule through the fixed-file promotion form, so that when the audience mentions the movie schedule, they will think of the movie released in this schedule.

However, in recent years, movies have been withdrawn from time to time, and the release conference is naturally not so grand, but as a means of promoting movies, it is still very good.

Lin Yuan didn't answer in a hurry, but thought about it in his heart, and after confirming that he had free time, he agreed: "Okay, then Director Guo will call me then."

As a leading actor, it is also normal to attend a movie release conference.

Besides, since the end of the Spring Festival this year, Lin Yuan has basically rarely appeared in front of the media cameras. This time the film's release conference just happened to give him a sense of presence.

The time soon came to the day of the film's release conference.

At the hotel press conference, hundreds of reporters invited by the crew of "The Wandering Earth" have arrived, most of them are media reporters recruited by the two investors, China Film and BJ Culture.

Regarding the invitations sent by China Film and BJ Culture Media Company, the reporters present were also a little puzzled, wondering what big moves these two companies were making.

Before the main creators of "The Wandering Earth" crew came over, the invited reporters were already talking about it.

"Lao Li, do you know what China Film and BJ Culture are doing? Judging from this posture, there should be something important to announce."

"I don't know, but it looks like a new movie is about to be announced. You can see that the stage is set up."

"China Film has a lot of movies in its hands. It's hard to guess, but there is something about BJ Culture, such as "Wolf Warrior 2" and "The God of Medicine", all of which have invested in it."

"When you say that, I'm looking forward to it. Could it be that "The God of Medicine 2" is about to start filming?"

According to the guesswork of the reporters, director Guo Fan walked in the front, and other creative staff followed behind, facing the flashing lights and clicking sound, and walked onto the stage with a smile on their faces.

Originally, when the media reporters saw Guo Fan, a cutting-edge director, they were just going through the motions, but when they saw Lin Yuan appearing in the team behind them, they immediately raised the frequency of pressing the shutter.

Producer Xu Jianhai picked up the microphone, looked around, and said formally: "I'm sorry for keeping everyone from the media waiting for a long time. Please come here today to promote a new film jointly produced by China Film and BJ Culture."

Without any nonsense, Xu Jianhai went straight to the topic, and the media reporters present all cheered up and listened carefully.

A few days ago, the news broke that Lin Yuan was going to direct the movie "My Motherland and Me". Now, looking at the situation, it is obvious that Lin Yuan has an inseparable relationship with the new film jointly produced by China Film and BJ Culture.

Could it be that Lin Yuan knows the comments of netizens and is going back to the time when he was frantically accepting dramas?

The media reporters present were full of emotion, and they were already thinking about how to write today's news.

"We, China Film and BJ Culture Media, are preparing a sci-fi film based on the novel of the same name by Liu Zixin, with an initial investment of [-] million yuan. The film will be directed by Guo Fan."

With an investment of up to [-] million sci-fi movies, is it possible that domestic sci-fi movies are about to rise?
When they heard the first half of the sentence, the media reporters were still refreshed, but when they heard that the movie will be directed by Guo Fan, they were stunned.

Of course, Guo Fan and the others knew that "The Adventures of Li Xianji" directed by them could be regarded as a sci-fi film, but the box office was only 720 million, ranking eighth at the National Day box office that year, and the results were obviously not ideal.

If Guo Fan made a romantic movie, the media reporters present would definitely have no doubts, but no one has any idea about directing a sci-fi movie, and even a thought popped up in his heart, that is, it is better to let Lin Yuan, a cutting-edge director, do it. How about directing this sci-fi movie?

Producer Xu Jianhai did not give the reporters a chance to ask questions, and left the stage to Guo Fan and Lin Yuan, who are today's protagonists.

Guo Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart, briefly described the plot of the movie on stage, and then introduced the main creative team. Of course, the most important thing was to announce the release date of the movie "The Wandering Earth".

I don't know if Lin Yuan brought courage to Guo Fan after joining the crew, or he has always been more confident in his own works. In short, "The Wandering Earth" is finally scheduled for the most intense Spring Festival next year.

The news that "The Wandering Earth" was scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival next year was quickly reported by reporters at the press conference and spread throughout the Internet.

Although domestic sci-fi movies have not been very good, science fiction still has two brushes.

Especially after Liu Zixin won the Hugo Award in 2015, domestic netizens have been looking forward to the film and television adaptation of the novel "Three-Body Problem".

Although the science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth" adapted this time is not as famous as "The Three-Body Problem" and "Ball Lightning", it has also been sought after by many science fiction fans and still has a certain reader base.

In addition, Lin Yuan attended the press conference and will star in the movie "The Wandering Earth" as the leading actor. As soon as the news came out, even if they were not science fiction fans, many netizens began to learn about the "Wandering Earth" movie in advance. Novel of the same name.

Discussions about the movie "The Wandering Earth" also exploded on the Internet.

"Holy shit, China Film and BJ Culture actually want to invest in the filming of "The Wandering Earth", starring Lin Yuan, won't the rise of domestic sci-fi movies be like this?"

"It's no wonder that Lin Yuan starred in "Ready Player One" before. This is a sci-fi movie in Hollywood. I would like to call this wave of hard work!"

"The fly in the ointment is the choice of director. Will Guo Fan make sci-fi movies? Don't sci-fi movies turn into romance movies, then the fun will be great."

"I feel that "The Wandering Earth" is a bit difficult to shoot. The original novel can be said to be very dark, and I feel that there is no way to put it on the screen."

"That's right, I think it's better to shoot "Three-Body Problem". I heard that the animation "Three-Body Problem" is in the process of being produced. I don't know if I can see the movie "Three-Body Problem" in my lifetime."

"I feel that Lin Yuan may be overturned this time. The domestic sci-fi movies have already been buried in the ground. Isn't it a pure loss of reputation to act in a domestic sci-fi movie?"

"I still can't say that. With the investment of [-] million yuan in "Looking for the Dragon", isn't there any problem with the special effects? This time the investment has doubled, so it shouldn't be that bad."

With an investment of [-] million yuan, and the movie "The Wandering Earth" joined by Lin Yuan, the popularity on the Internet quickly overshadowed the previously popular "My Motherland and Me".

In recent years, audiences have watched a lot of sci-fi movies, but most of them are imported from abroad, such as "Transformers", "Avengers", "Ready Player One" and other movies. Science fiction movies are rare, there are only a handful of them.

Under such circumstances, netizens are still looking forward to the movie "The Wandering Earth".

Seeing that the attention of netizens has shifted to the movie "The Wandering Earth", and there is even a faint trend of bringing the title of "domestic sci-fi pioneer" to the movie "The Wandering Earth", China Television Entertainment began to sit still up.

Within two days, China Television Entertainment made a high-profile announcement that the "Shanghai Fortress" film project was launched and officially entered the shooting stage.

And the cast was announced directly.

"Lu Han, Shu Qi, Gao Yixiang"

Although the starring popularity is not as popular as Lin Yuan, but there are so many first-line stars, and there are even traffic stars like Lu Han, who are immediately sought after by many fans.

Earlier, "The Wandering Earth" was scheduled for the Spring Festival, and later "Shanghai Fortress" announced the start of filming in a high-profile manner.

Originally, it was impossible to see a domestic sci-fi movie in theaters for several years, but now there are two big-budget sci-fi movies about to hit the big screen, and both are adapted from the same-named sci-fi novel, and the release time of the press conference It is also only a few days apart, so it is difficult for netizens to compare these two sci-fi movies together.

Soon, the Internet was full of topics related to "The Wandering Earth" and "Shanghai Fortress", and the tense atmosphere became more and more intense.

Even film companies such as Huayi Brothers and Enlight Media couldn't help but stare sideways after seeing BJ Culture Media and China Television Entertainment spending hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot sci-fi films such as "The Wandering Earth" and "Shanghai Fortress".

There are not many big-budget films in China.

However, big-budget movies do not necessarily get high returns, especially domestic sci-fi movies.

If there is such a big market for domestic sci-fi films, why would Wanda Pictures suddenly withdraw its investment?

Even Huayi Brothers is unwilling to invest in domestic sci-fi films, and Enlight Media would rather spend money on domestic animation films than invest in domestic sci-fi films.

I am afraid that at present, only such young film and television companies are willing to try domestic science fiction films.

However, these established film and television companies are not idle, but instead focus on these two films. If the box office of these two films is good, it will not be too late for them to invest in domestic sci-fi films later, but if these two films catch up If so, I am afraid that the two companies, BJ Culture Media and China Television Entertainment, will inevitably be ridiculed by other film companies.

Not long after the movie finalization conference, Lin Yuan arrived at the Oriental Movie Metropolis Sunac Film and Television Industrial Park.

When filming "A Good Show" before, the crew once filmed here for a while, so it is not unfamiliar to Lin Yuan.

As soon as he arrived at the film and television base, the assistant director Yu Gang brought the crew to pick him up in person.

If it weren't for Guo Fan being unable to leave for the time being, I'm afraid it would be Guo Fan who came here now.

There is no way, this is the treatment after becoming famous. Lin Yuan's salary is more expensive than the cost of the entire crew. In addition, it can be seen from the popularity of the Internet a few days ago that the expectations of netizens for domestic science fiction movies are not as high as The leading actor Lin Yuan has high expectations.

In this case, not to mention the director Guo Fan, if Lin Yuan plays a big game, the entire crew will have to surround him.

In the studio, Guo Fan was busy checking the setting and camera position arrangement. After seeing Lin Yuan coming, he quickly put down what he was doing and walked over enthusiastically.

After a few simple greetings, they got down to business: "Mr. Lin Yuan, this is a custom-made space suit. You can try to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, I'll ask someone to modify it as required."

Lin Yuan picked up the spacesuit with both hands and weighed it. He said it was a spacesuit, but it was actually a relatively thick down jacket. The original hat was designed as a detachable transparent helmet, plus other small designs on the cuffs. The clothes weighed more than ten catties at least.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan picked up a lot of basic attributes before, and after wearing clothes weighing more than ten kilograms, the impact was not great.

When he changed into the spacesuit and appeared in front of Director Guo Fan again, Guo Fan's eyes lit up.

They were still discussing the casting of the movie before, saying that it doesn’t matter whether the actors in this movie are popular or not, because many of the actors who appeared in the scenes were wearing specific spacesuits.

When the actor is wearing a helmet, there is still a thin layer of fog inside, and the audience can't see what the actor looks like at all.

But now, the moment Guo Fan saw Lin Yuan's appearance, he knew he was wrong.

Although the personal image of the actors is not obvious in front of the camera after they put on the custom-made space suits, they forgot one thing - their eyes!
The helmet is transparent, even if there is another thin layer of mist inside the helmet due to the actor's breathing, the audience can still see clearly inside the helmet, the eyes of the actors contain different emotions!
Whether it is in the detailed portrayal of facial expressions or the transformation of eyes, Lin Yuan is an actor-level performance.

Whether it is the tragic sacrifice to be shown in the movie, or the sense of desolation when the end is approaching, in the end, the whole movie shot always has only one point to express, and that is to keep that precious thing like a diamond-hope!
And just after Lin Yuan put on his space suit, the words in his resolute eyes are exactly what this movie wants to express most.

The moment he saw Lin Yuan's eyes, many images immediately appeared in Guo Fan's mind.

It's a pity that the scenery in the studio has not been completed yet, no matter how many ideas he has in his mind, he can only put them aside for now, and wait for the official start later.
