Chapter 13 The Future of Domestic Science Fiction Movies?
"Old Cao Cao, what song is this? This damn melody, paired with the dance of your women's troupe in ancient costumes, really makes people dream and die, it's so emotional!"

Zhao Huojie came to Cao Zhengjiang and Xu Nuo, and asked with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Mr. Zhao, why are you here? Uh... this song is not from our Changle Palace Entertainment City music library, I think it should be the sound source brought by Director Xu?"

Cao Zhengjiang explained to Mr. Zhao.

"Director Xu?"

Zhao Huojie shook his head, and asked drunkenly, "What Director Xu? Which Director Xu? Why didn't I know there was another Director Xu?"

"Drank too much."

Cao Zhengjiang turned his head and said to Xu Nuo with a smile: "Just now I entertained Mr. Zhao and the others in the box of [Changle Palace], and I drank a lot at that time."

"It does look like he drank a lot."

Xu Nuo shrugged.

Afterwards, Cao Zhengjiang hurriedly called his manager: "Hurry up, hurry up and help Mr. Zhao back to the box to have a good rest and sober up."

"Go, go, go aside."

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Huojie pushed away the manager who came forward to help him, then shook his head violently a few times, and suddenly he seemed to be in a better state than before: "Old Cao, don't talk nonsense, I'm not drunk. "

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhao can drink far more than that."

Cao Zhengjiang followed his words and continued.

"Director Xu, right? Haven't you heard of such a director Xu in the film and television industry?"

Zhao Huojie set his eyes on Xu Nuo, muttering in doubt.

"Ham, I'm just a small director, not well-known, it's normal that Mr. Zhao doesn't know me."

Xu Nuo didn't find any malice in Mr. Zhao, he looked more like a rich second generation who was immature and hadn't grown up yet.

"What kind of movies have you been in?"

Zhao Huojie continued to look at Xu Nuo and asked.

"I didn't have any well-known works before, but today I finished filming a movie. Why don't I bring my brothers from the crew to celebrate?"

Xu Nuo shook his head modestly.

"Just finished filming a movie? What kind of movie? I'm still very interested in movies, especially sci-fi movies. Lao Cao knows that I have voted for a sci-fi movie before, right?"

When Zhao Huojie said this, he paused for a moment, then his face changed slightly, and he suddenly burst into foul language: "Made lost a lot of money, and asked my father to give me a good training!"

"Could it be that Mr. Zhao invested in "Sea Castle Fortress"?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nuo made a guess.

Investing in sci-fi movies and losing money, the only thing that can be matched in the past two years is last year's "Sea Castle", a sci-fi movie about human defense against alien attacks.

In this parallel world, Xu Nuo found that the vast majority of sci-fi movies are of the type of alien attack, which is too old-fashioned, and they don't even bother to make a little innovation?
"Sea Castle" has hit the guns. The audience is tired of watching sci-fi movies about alien invasion, and the quality of the film itself is also very poor. Therefore, "Sea Castle" finally hit the box office. Mr. Zhao in front of him was so lucky to be criticized by his father.

"That's right, that's right, that's the film. It's really rubbish. I'm so fond of sci-fi. What kind of thing did I shoot? 3000 million, I f*ck invested 3000 million!"

As soon as Zhao Huojie mentioned this matter, his teeth itch with hatred.

Although he is a rich second generation, it's okay to waste his family's money all day long, but investment, after all, involves the business field, and his father takes it very seriously.

It’s okay if the investment is successful, but the key is that the investment fails. This is great, and I will become a "worthless" son in the eyes of my father.

"Oh, I really don't know where the future of our domestic science fiction films lies."

Zhao Huojie couldn't help feeling emotional again.

"The failure of "Sea Castle" is inevitable. First of all, its subject matter is too old-fashioned, and it is still fighting against alien invasion in what age.

Then this movie spent the money in the wrong place. The salary of a male protagonist is 7000 million, and the female protagonist is 5000 million. This adds up to 2000 million.

It also required a lot of money to do special effects in the later stage, but all the money was given to the actors, so how could there be any money for special effects, so the special effects of "Sea Castle" have also been criticized.

What's more, the director of "Sea Castle" was not serious enough at all. He didn't polish the script well, but just found a few traffic stars and started shooting. How can this be the attitude a director should have towards a movie? "

Xu Nuo briefly analyzed some of the main factors for the failure of "Sea Castle".

"Director Xu, you know a lot about sci-fi movies. Could it be that you also make sci-fi movies?"

After Zhao Huojie heard Xu Nuo's analysis, he felt that it really made sense.

"This new film I made is indeed a science fiction film."

Xu Nuo nodded calmly.

"You really made a sci-fi movie? Director Xu, what's the name of the movie you made?"

As soon as science fiction movies were mentioned, Zhao Huojie immediately became interested.

From a personal emotional point of view, he very much hopes that domestic sci-fi films can be made well, become bigger and stronger, and become a mainstream in the history of world film.

That's why he spent 2000 million to invest in "Sea Castle".

As a result, "Sea Castle" deeply hurt the heart of this 22-year-old rich second generation.

"Master Zhao really wants to know?"

Xu Nuo originally didn't want to reveal the information about the film he shot. After all, there is still post-production, and the schedule is still unknown.

But thinking about it again, Mr. Zhao was able to invest 2000 million in "Sea Castle", which shows that he really loves sci-fi movies, and he should have a certain influence in the circle.

It would be better to use his hand to reveal a little information about "Terminator" first, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the promotion of "Terminator".

"I'm somewhat interested, but I think it should be a low-budget sci-fi movie, right? After all, if you want to make a sci-fi movie, you have to spend a lot of money in it."

Zhao Huojie subconsciously thought that what Xu Nuo made was an "urban science fiction" movie with a sci-fi gimmick.

Because there are too many of these in the domestic film market, almost most of them turned out to be bad.

"The cost is not small, there is a production cost of [-] million yuan."

Xu Nuo followed Mr. Zhao's words.

"Two hundred million? Although it's not that much, it's still quite a lot. I have to say, Director Xu, you have successfully aroused my curiosity. Would you like to reveal it to me?"

Zhao Huojie asked expectantly.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhao, you love science fiction so much and support it, so I might as well reveal it. The subject matter of my film must be innovative enough. It involves artificial intelligence and the omnic crisis, as well as time and space travel, and the grandfather paradox. And other elements, the movie is called "Terminator."

What Xu Nuo didn't expect was that the first step in promoting his "Terminator" was to talk to a rich second generation in Changle Palace Entertainment City.

"There are so many sci-fi elements, it sounds really interesting, Terminator, the title of this movie is also quite good."

After Zhao Huojie made some comments, he asked again: "Then when will it be released?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, the film hasn't been cut yet, and the post-production hasn't been done yet."

Xu Nuo shook his head.

"Come on, Director Xu, I'll add you on WeChat. If your "Terminator" is released, please remember to let me know."

Zhao Huojie was quite proactive, and had already taken out his mobile phone to scan Xu Nuo's QR code.

Seeing this, Xu Nuo added Zhao Huojie's WeChat account. From the circle of friends he allowed to visit, it can be seen that he is indeed a young man who likes science fiction movies.

It is somewhat similar to Zhou Kun, the second generation of coal, but Mr. Zhao's knowledge level is obviously much higher than that of Zhou Kun, the second generation of coal.

After all, Zhou Kun, the second generation of coal, is a talent who can bring Einstein and gravity together.

"Remember to inform me when the time comes. If the movie is not bad, I will absolutely support it."

"Ok."

Xu Nuo complied.

But I don’t need to inform you when the time comes. I believe it won’t be long before the whole network will discuss my "Terminator". That’s right, Xu Nuo is so confident in the next announcement.

"Oh, by the way, Lao Cao just said that the song played in your box is the sound source brought by you?"

Zhao Huojie became interested in the song that was playing on loop again.

At this time, Cao Zhengjiang also asked quickly: "Director Xu, what is your song?"

"Oh, it's an original song from our company."

"That's it, Director Xu, to tell you the truth, your company's original song is very nice. Most importantly, I think this song is especially suitable for an ancient entertainment environment like our Changle Palace."

Cao Zhengjiang came over to say hello to Xu Nuo just now, just to ask about the situation of this song: "Director Xu, look at you, me, and Young Master Zhao, it is fate that we meet here today, Young Master Zhao must also like it. Heard this song in Changle Palace, right? Director Xu, do you want to consider selling this song to Changle Palace? The price is negotiable."

Cao Zhengjiang can be sure.

As long as his own Changle Palace Entertainment City can win the copyright of this song, then the business will definitely rise to a higher level.
