Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 180 Others are the film industry, Director Xu is the film + industry
"Damn it! Why is that guy Xu Nuo's every movie so popular, this "Iron Man 2" only had a domestic box office of more than 10 billion yuan on its first day!"

In a high-end tea ceremony club in Haicheng, the middle-aged man watched the live interview with the director Xu Nuo on the movie channel of the State TV TV station, and he was really sour and angry.

Sitting opposite the middle-aged man, the man who was drinking tea could be regarded as Xu Nuo's "old acquaintance".

That's right, he is Ma Yong, Dr. Ma, who is known as the number one science fiction writer in China!
However, now that Ma Yong has become a fan of Guan Ju, a sci-fi AI writer, he can no longer claim to be the number one sci-fi writer in China.

Because of Guan Ju's "Three-Body Problem", he felt that it was a mountain that he could not overcome.

"Old Guo, watch the live interview carefully, see how director Xu makes movies, and then look at you...how do you directors make movies."

Dr. Ma sipped his tea, shook his head and said.

In the past, Dr. Ma did not like Xu Nuo, and the reason was very straightforward, that is, several of his films adapted from science fiction novels were rubbed against the ground by Xu Nuo's commercial blockbuster science fiction films.

This made Dr. Ma very upset, but later Dr. Ma gradually understood that this is the gap in strength, not only in the science fiction stories, but also in the directorship of the movies adapted from his own science fiction novels. gap.

As director Wang Shifeng once said in an interview, there are too few young and capable directors like Xu Nuo in China.

The Guo Ming in front of him can be regarded as one of the best. A literary film he made before was even nominated for the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, and he has also won many film awards in China.

But now Director Guo Ming has transformed, he no longer makes literary films, but commercial films.

After all, a literary film can only earn a name, but not a box office.

"Old Ma, I remember you were quite disdainful of this Xu Nuo before?"

Guo Ming looked at Dr. Ma with a different look.

"Cough cough."

Dr. Ma immediately said seriously: "That was in the past, didn't Xu Nuo have any great works before, and there was only "Terminator" at that time, but in good conscience, "Terminator" is really better than mine. How about movies based on several novels? I don’t think so, but the later “Transformers”, “Big Hero 2”, and “Iron Man” are pretty good, and “Iron Man [-]” is also very good. We will go again later Brush again?"

"Okay, let's watch the live interview first."

Guo Ming nodded, and then continued to look at the TV screen in front of him.

He went to the cinema to watch "Iron Man 2" yesterday, the first day it was released, but since his old friend Dr. Ma invited him to watch it again today, it's okay to watch it again.

Because of the various connections and details between "Iron Man 2" and Xu Nuo's movie universe mentioned on the Internet, he may not have paid attention to it when he watched it yesterday.

As for Dr. Ma, he likes Xu Nuo's movies now.

From the last "Dragon Squad" that was released to "Iron Man 2" that is currently being screened all over the world, every Dr. Ma film feels very good.

He even began to look forward to Xu Nuo's "The Avengers", or Xu Nuo hurriedly adapted Guan Ju's science fiction novel "Three-Body Problem" into a movie.

"If that guy Xu Nuo actually shoots "Three-Body Problem", tsk tsk tsk, forget it, how could the novel be actually filmed."

Dr. Ma thought about it, and felt that this was not realistic at all.

Although Xu Nuo is really good at real shots, he can even use military aircraft carriers and other high-tech things for him to take real shots, as well as high-tech things such as steel suits, and even a set of photos approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency. A movie nuclear prop.

These can certainly prove that the director Xu Nuo is really good, but the scenes in the science fiction novel "Three-Body Problem" written by Guan Ju are just some nanotechnology in the early stage, or a large-scale particle collider built in space. What kind of real shots did Xu Nuo take of these?
Is it possible to really build a large particle collider in space?

This is too outrageous.

There is even more outrageous, that is another science fiction novel written by Guan Ju, which was recently serialized on the AI ​​entertainment platform. This science fiction novel even has the idea of ​​the earth. Even Ma Yong felt that this brain hole was absolutely amazing, why couldn't he think of it!
"I admit that Xu Nuo, a young director, does have some strength, but he can make good works, isn't it because of the large investment and the real group behind him? Otherwise, the real Props, just because he can make them?"

Guo Ming also has to admit Xu Nuo's strengths, but he still feels that Xu Nuo's success in shooting one after another hit movies, especially sci-fi commercial films, is inseparable from the growing strength of Real Group .

No, during the live interview, the beautiful reporter from the movie channel of National Television Station interviewed Xu Nuo about the topic of "props".

"So, in the movie "Iron Man 2", besides most of the scenes are real shots, even the props used in the movie are mostly real shots?"

The beautiful reporter asked in surprise.

Everyone knows that director Xu Nuo is a real-time shooter, and that some of the props in his movies are real guys, but they didn't expect most of them to be real guys!

In this live interview, the station said that for the sake of the program effect, it must grasp Xu Nuo's well-known nickname of "Real Shooting Crazy Demon" to dig deeper.

"Yes, the scenes + props are real guys. Only in this way can the movie be more immersive and the actors can be immersed in it. Isn't this better than using green screen and special effects?"

Xu Nuo spread his hands and said calmly.

If you talk about real shots with me, then I won't be sleepy.

"Then, the portable steel battle suit that is very popular in online discussion now, and also very eye-catching in the movie, is also a real prop?"

The beautiful reporter asked again.

Since "Iron Man 2" is still just released, some movies involve spoilers and related topics, so the beautiful reporter can't ask.

But the portable iron suit is different. This one has become popular, and there have been related preview screens in the previous "Iron Man 2" trailer, so this can be asked.

"Yes."

Xu Nuo nodded truthfully, and said with a smile: "I improved the steel suit to make it more convenient to wear. I think this improved steel suit is very interesting, so I put it on It was filmed in the movie."

The actual situation is somewhat different from what Xu Nuo said. The portable iron suit was made because it was needed for the filming of "Iron Man 2". After the portable iron suit was manufactured, it was used in the shooting of "Iron Man 2".

"Also, the iron robot soldiers that appeared in our "Iron Man 2" movie are actually real props."

Xu Nuo said proudly to the beautiful reporter again.

If we talk about the real props in "Iron Man 2", then we have to mention the steel robot soldiers built by our own real industry.

"Is that also a prop made from real materials?"

The beautiful reporter asked in surprise.

"It must be real materials. Every metal part, every screw, every mechanical component, and every bearing is manufactured by our real group."

Xu Nuo definitely didn't dare to say this before, but now that he said it, it was absolutely true.

Today, among domestic companies that manufacture such metal parts and then assemble them into robots, Real Group is second. Who dares to say first?
Because Real Group now has several machinery manufacturing factories under its umbrella, as well as Shenji Factory and Yuji Factory that can produce high-end machine tools.

"Director Xu, are you perfectly combining industry and film?"

The beautiful reporter asked with a smile.

"The film industry."

When Xu Nuo said this word, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Obviously, the "film industry" that Xu Nuo mentioned here seems to be somewhat different from the film industry in people's impression.

Isn’t the film industry a film and television production industrial system that revolves around all the products and services required for the production of film and television works, including the equipment, technical services and manufacturers required for pre-production, post-production, and finished product production?

However, when Xu Nuo came here, the film industry has become a film + industry, and it is still a real industry!
"Hahaha I'm laughing at the mouse, Director Xu is reinterpreting what is called the film industry!"

"Other people's film industry: an industrial system composed of a series of industrial chain links, manufacturers and related services such as the production, marketing, distribution, and post-product development of film and television works.

Director Xu's film industry: use the technology industrial system to produce real props to make movies! "

"Film Industry!"

"Fuck, those steel robot soldiers who can fly and track people are all real, right? I thought it was a special effect when I watched the movie!"

"I have to say that Director Xu is too awesome. Of course, the real group behind Director Xu is also very strong in technology and industry!"

"Being able to manufacture such an awesome high-tech product as a steel battle suit, will anyone question the strength of the real group's technology and industry?"

"Director Xu deserves to be Director Xu, redefining what is called the film industry!"

Netizens were directly amused by Xu Nuo's interview about the "film industry", and even began to play with the "film industry" meme.

Ma Yong and Guo Ming, who were tasting tea, also widened their eyes when they saw this.

"Old Ma, take a look, take a look, with such real industrial strength, which director in the industry can do it?"

Guo Ming said in shock: "I said that the reason why Xu Nuo's movies are so good is because the Real Group is so good!"

"Then is there a possibility that Lao Guo, that the real group was also created and developed by Xu Nuo?"

Dr. Ma shrugged and said calmly.

Now he admires Xu Nuo more and more. Not only is he powerful in directing and filming, but he also built a real group, a group company integrating culture and entertainment, technology research and development, manufacturing industry and other fields. , is simply a miracle.

Isn't this much stronger than the Penguin Group?

Ma Yong understood that the Penguin Group couldn't even come up with a set of standardized film industry processes like Hollywood, let alone a "film industry" like Xu Nuo.

The two are not at the same level at all!
Since Ma Yong read the science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth" serialized by AI Guanju on the AI ​​entertainment platform, many of his ideas have changed, so he admires people like Xu Nuo even more.

That's right, after "The Three-Body Problem" became popular, Guan Ju, under Xu Nuo's instructions, serialized a new science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth" on the AI ​​entertainment platform.

However, since "The Wandering Earth" is just a short science fiction novel, its popularity and views are not as popular as "Three-Body Problem".

After all, "Three-Body Problem" is a science fiction novel that Uncle Sam in the United States is chasing after reading.

As a domestic science fiction writer, Ma Yong will naturally pay attention to Guan Ju's "The Wandering Earth". It is said that this novel is the brain hole provided by Xu Nuo, and then Guan Ju came based on the information provided by Xu Nuo. This brain hole is used to expand and write.

"Xu Nuo was able to make the real group so strong, and won a lot of glory for our Huaguo. It is indeed amazing!"

Even Guo Ming had to admit that Xu Nuo was amazing.

"Old Guo, let's just say, why don't we abandon the dark and turn to the bright?"

Ma Yong suddenly thought of something, and said to his old friend Guo Ming: "You are capable, but now you are working with Tianhua Media, and sometimes cooperate with Penguin Entertainment to make movies, so you can't make good movies. .”

Now Guo Ming is mainly cooperating with Tianhua Media in China, and also has a cooperative relationship with Penguin Entertainment.

Needless to say, Penguin Entertainment.

Tianhua Media is also a domestic film and television capital. Its film and television production process is similar to that of Penguin Entertainment. They all use the assembly line to mass-produce traffic stars, and then use traffic stars to shoot film and television dramas to harvest leeks.

"You mean to let me go to Real Media?"

Guo Ming naturally understood the meaning of his old friend: "Lao Ma, I remember that you have a deep cooperation with Penguin Entertainment, right? What about you?"

"I have already taken back the copyrights of several works, and how should I put it, I feel that the adaptations of my novels may not be exciting enough."

Ma Yong has gradually begun to separate from Penguin Entertainment. Of course, he also hopes that his old friend Guo Ming can also go to a better place to make movies.

And this better place, Ma Yong thinks it is - real media!
Xu Nuo's real media has developed by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and is cultivating excellent film and television practitioners for the country, as well as producing high-quality film and television works. They are willing to absorb practitioners who are sincerely working hard in the film and television field.

"The domestic film and television industry is indeed changing. The previous entertainment capital system is about to fail, but the new one created by Xu Nuo is very popular with the audience."

Guo Ming couldn't help but said with emotion.

"That's because Xu Nuo really treats the audience as the audience, and based on such a basis to produce film and television works, can it not be loved by the audience?"
