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

Chapter 221 [-] million vs. [-] million, the advantage is mine!

"Will Xu Nuo's "Oppenheimer" be released on August 8?"

Liang Bin, the CEO of Penguin Films, was indescribably happy after hearing the news.

You must know that the one thing that Penguin Films was most afraid of in the past was to run into Xu Nuo's movie when the movie it made with a lot of money was released.

Past experience has proved that as long as I meet Xu Nuo in the same period, my Penguin Films and Television movies will hit the street, and the hit is not ordinary.

But this time is different.

After two years of continuous self-innovation, Penguin Films has also embarked on the road of commercial blockbusters. In the past, two films have performed well.

This time, Penguin Films and Television has increased its investment and chose to spend more money on "special effects". As for the actors, they also used some well-known and popular actors in the industry, not some traffic stars.

Because Penguin Films and Television understands that the road of traffic stars is almost dead.

speak up.

The road of using traffic stars to make movies is not easy, but Xu Nuo and Real Media have a lot of credit.

but.

Although Penguin Films and Television did not use a large number of traffic stars this time, it still selected a so-called "young generation with good acting skills" from the previous wandering stars. commercial film.

To put it bluntly, at this stage, traffic stars with capital backgrounds have begun to transform, either focusing on music, or focusing on becoming a so-called new-generation actor.

Obviously, the new-generation actor Ouyang Qianyu who starred in Penguin Films' latest masterpiece "Mecha Storm" this time belongs to the kind with backstage support.

In this Penguin film and television sci-fi commercial masterpiece "Mecha Storm", Penguin Film and Television has spared no expense in inviting an old actor in the domestic actor circle, and a number of talents are sent to lead this new generation of "actor king".

When the audience saw it, yo, this lineup is awesome, it's a commercial blockbuster with a lot of investment, and the special effects are also good, and their favorability immediately soared a lot.

So this time, when Liang Bin learned that Xu Nuo's new movie "Oppenheimer", which has caused Penguin Films to encounter Waterloo many times, will also be released on August 8, like "Mecha Storm", he thought of a chance for revenge. finally come!
The only thing that makes Liang Bin very unhappy is that.

Penguin Films and Television invested a lot of special effects in the production of "Mecha Storm" this time, and this investment in special effects allowed Xu Nuo's real special effects studio to earn money.

no way.

The current real special effects studio can be said to be the benchmark in the industry.

Not only are the special effects produced awesomely, but the efficiency is also quite fast. Other special effects companies, including Hollywood's mature industrial special effects system, have to shy away from real special effects studios.

This time Penguin Films and Television's "Mecha Storm" has a total investment of more than 4.5 million soft sister coins, of which 1.5 million is used in post-production special effects.

The 1.5 million special effects order was won by Xu Nuo's real special effects studio.

And the real special effects studio did not disappoint Penguin Films and Television, and produced top-level special effects that are quite visually explosive for them. Take money to do things, even though you are the Penguin Films and Television that the boss Xu Nuo hates, as long as you give money, it’s so good The special effects will be arranged for you. As for whether your movie can explode at the box office after having the ultimate special effects, it depends on the ability of your own movie.

After all, extreme special effects are only one of the reasons for a successful movie, not all. The success of no movie depends entirely on extreme special effects.

Even Xu Nuo's previous "Transformers" did not rely on special effects that were so realistic that it was hard to tell whether it was real or not.

"Mr. Liang, where will our movie be promoted this time?"

The manager in charge of publicity came to ask Liang Bin.

There was a smile on the corner of Liang Bin's mouth, and then he said calmly and confidently: "Of course it's special effects. The special effects are produced by Xu Nuo's real special effects studio. This is our "Mecha Storm" One big advantage, we will use Xu Nuo's own magic to defeat Xu Nuo's film, hahahaha."

This made Liang Bin very proud.

He can't wait to see that after the two films are released simultaneously on August 8, this commercial blockbuster from Penguin Films will beat Xu Nuo's biographical film "Oppenheimer".

Just imagine.

During the scorching summer vacation, when a young man wanted to go to the cinema to watch a movie, there were two movies in front of him. One was a sci-fi commercial blockbuster with bursting special effects and powerful actors, and it also had mecha elements.

And the other one is a biographical film that looks mediocre at first glance and is as dull as water.

As a viewer, how do you make choices?
In fact, Xu Nuo did not expect that when he set "Oppenheimer" on the special day of August 8th, he would run into the latest masterpiece of his old rival Penguin Films and Television.

"Oppenheimer" is scheduled to be released on August 8, because this is the day when the first atomic bomb was dropped and exploded. In Guan Ju's words, it is very appropriate to the movie.

This year, it's Friday, plus it's summer holidays.

So there is no doubt that this day has become the day when domestic films will be released in the second half of the summer vacation, and Penguin Films' "Mecha Storm" is set on this day.

If it was in the past, Penguin Films and Television might choose to withdraw the file after meeting Xu Nuo in the same schedule and then postpone the schedule later.

However, this time, Penguin Films and Television is ready to head-to-head.

In the announcements before the release date, Xu Nuo's "Oppenheimer" has always maintained a relatively high popularity.

However, Xu Nuo was still a little worried about the issue of "whether it is popular or not".

In the blink of an eye, it came to the screening of "Oppenheimer" on August 8th.

As in the past, Xu Nuo's real media held a small-scale screening event in the largest cinema in Yuzhou City.

In addition to the impartial film review media in the industry invited by Xu Nuo, the production team of "Oppenheimer" and the main actors also came to the screening event.

This time, in order to allow more audiences to see Xu Nuo's latest masterpiece "Oppenheimer" in advance at today's film event, there are a few more theaters than before.

In the past, audiences always complained that they could not get the qualifications to participate in the screening activities, so this time, more seats were opened.

Originally, Xu Nuo planned to go to Little Days for the screening of "Oppenheimer".

But considering that the selected release date has already broken the defenses of the little days, some of the more extreme little days will make some dangerous moves that are out of line.

So in the end the plan was cancelled.

After all, with the security level of childhood, even a certain security cannot be guaranteed, who can trust this?
Although "Oppenheimer" is a biographical film, the screening activities are still as lively as ever.

At the scene, Xu Nuo also made a model prop of a nuclear warhead.

In the words of assistant Wen Ruohan, if the box office performance of "Oppenheimer" is not bad, maybe the company will be able to produce related peripherals of the atomic bomb by then.

Good guy, is this trying to achieve an atomic bomb in each hand?
After the audience in the live broadcast room of the screening event saw the atomic bomb in equal proportions, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"What the hell? Is that an atomic bomb?"

"How did Director Xu bring that thing to the filming event?"

"really?"

"Let me explain to everyone, the movie official said that it was just a scale model prop of an atomic bomb, not a real atomic bomb."

"Thank you brother for your explanation, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark."

"I can't wait to watch Director Xu's "Oppenheimer", but it's a pity that I didn't get the qualification for the screening event, woo woo woo."

"Brothers, see you later."

When the live broadcast of the on-site screening event entered the broadcast of "Oppenheimer", the live broadcast room on the AI ​​entertainment platform was cut off.

Only the audience at the scene can see the advance screening of "Oppenheimer"!

Nearly three hours of film length.

This is already the shortest length that Xu Nuo asked Guan Ju to edit to fully tell the story of Oppenheimer. If it is more detailed, it is estimated that a four-hour version can be edited.

It doesn't matter though.

If the box office and word-of-mouth of "Oppenheimer" perform well, it will be possible to make another wave by releasing a four-hour version of the director's cut version and releasing a CD.

Considering that it will be released in theaters, I will use this nearly three-hour version.

Xu Nuo believes that the nearly three-hour long version can also allow the audience to experience Oppenheimer's life and the birth of the atomic bomb immersively, as well as the atomic bomb explosion scene shot with real lenses.

"Old Xu, do you have confidence in the film?"

Before the official broadcast, He Feiyang, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo, couldn't help asking.

"For the audience, as long as they sit in the cinema and watch this movie calmly, they will definitely feel the charm of this movie."

Xu Nuo just said so lightly.

Maybe this "Oppenheimer" can't give the audience a wonderful and exciting visual aesthetic throughout the whole process, but as long as you calm down a little, you can feel a story with a sense of history and the times.

And it's not without shocking pictures. The real atomic bomb explosion can arouse the curiosity of the audience. What kind of scene is it?

"This time, our "Oppenheimer" is a biographical film after all. When it meets Penguin Films' sci-fi commercial blockbuster, it may be affected at the box office."

He Feiyang said with a little worry: "Because of the Penguin Film and Television movie, I have seen the trailer and some movie reviews in advance, saying that this time Penguin Film and Television will make a big comeback with this movie."

"Oh? Penguins can also make blockbuster movies? Not bad, not bad."

Xu Nuo felt relieved when he heard this.

However, there is one thing that He Feiyang did not consider. It is precisely because his "Oppenheimer" is not the same type of film as Penguin Films' "Mecha Storm", so the tracks are not in the same place, so Penguin This movie of the film and television should not have too much influence on his own "Oppenheimer".

During the period when the film was shown at the "Oppenheimer" screening event.

Liang Bin, the CEO of Penguin Films, was also anxiously waiting for something in a private club.

What he was waiting for was the reviews and word-of-mouth of Xu Nuo's movie "Oppenheimer". Every time he took a sip of wine and smoked a cigar, he couldn't help but look at the time.

"Mr. Liang, Penguin Film and Television will win this time, so you can relax."

"At this time, one hour later, Xu Nuo's "Oppenheimer" will be screened and played, right?"

"At that time, ask a few film critics we are familiar with from the media, and you will know what level Xu Nuo's "Oppenheimer" is."

The other friends of Liang Bin in the club spoke confidently.

"What's going on with the pre-sale box office?"

Liang Bin took another sip of wine and asked.

"Mr. Liang, I just watched it. We already have a pre-sale box office of 3.1 million, and Xu Nuo's "Oppenheimer" next door is only 1.97 million."

A slightly obese middle-aged boss said to Liang Bin with a smile.

"Oh?"

When Liang Bin heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile in a good mood: "Three hundred million versus two hundred million, I have the advantage."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, Mr. Liang will definitely win this time."

"Congratulations, Mr. Liang!"

"Come on, let's congratulate Mr. Liang for making a big movie this time, completely beating director Xu Nuo!"

"Cheers! Cheers!"

These people have opened champagne to celebrate.

As for the screening event at the Yuzhou City Cinema, after nearly three hours of "Oppenheimer" was screened, the lights in the theater were turned on again.

The live broadcast room on the AI ​​entertainment platform was opened again.

Netizens flocked in to see what kind of performance the lucky ones who participated in the screening had after watching "Oppenheimer".

"Why are all of them stunned?"

"No reaction?"

"Not even a little applause?"

"It's a little weird."

"Is it possible that you are still immersed in the movie?"

Many doubts suddenly floated in the barrage in the live broadcast room.

That's right, everyone in the theater had a "sluggish" face at this time, but if you look carefully, you will find that this is not a daze, but a kind of enjoyment.

Zhang Chaowen, who works as a "Movie Top" self-media, can be said to have participated in screening activities for every director Xu's movie, and he watched all the cool movies before.

This time, his impression of Director Xu was subverted again.

Xu Nuo, the director, is simply a genius. He can not only make popcorn blockbusters like "Transformers" and "Iron Man", but also make heartbreaking dramas like "I'm Not the God of Medicine". The perfect biopic.

It's simply too hanging!
The light and video effects, the sound effects of the soundtrack, the real shots, the acting skills of the actors, the plot of the story, the wonderful reversal, plus a bit of humor that everyone can get, these can be said to be played by Director Xu over and over again. The perfect performance of elements, this "Oppenheimer" interpretation to the extreme.

Zhang Chaowen has never seen such a biographical movie that can make people feel immersed in the turmoil.
