my movie years

Chapter 189 Generous

After the "Time" reporter left, Zhang Hao officially submitted his next project, called "Gravity".

Why not "The Martian", Zhang Hao mainly has two considerations.

The first one is based on real-world environmental problems.

At this point in time, the space agency has not clearly announced the Mars plan, and the launch of the Mars probe Wentian will take more than ten years.

Therefore, this film was shot in Hollywood, and everyone will be amazed.But if a Chinese director were to shoot, it is estimated that many people's first reaction would be to not believe it.

The time of maturity should be in the next year.Catch up with 2016, because the space agency will announce the Mars exploration plan that year, just to catch the heat.

But there is no problem with "Gravity". The field of manned spaceflight has indeed been achieved, and the space shuttle can also be replaced by a Shenzhou spacecraft to make the story more authentic and believable.

The second question is the reason for the great power.

In fact, Zhang Hao really wanted to see Da Mimi grow potatoes on Mars, and it was more in line with the space version of Robinson Crusoe that Zhang Hao and Da Mimi said.

But Da Mimi plays a female astronaut and scientist. In view of the special physiological period of women, if she lives alone on Mars for more than 900 days, she is probably dead.

This is Zhang Hao's first attempt at a Chinese-language sci-fi film project. He wants to minimize the control variables to keep the project under control.

With the successful experience of his previous life as a foundation and a certain amount of localized adaptation, Zhang Hao believes that the film will be a success.

Bona Pictures, Penguin, and the newly joined Enlight Pictures soon received Zhang Hao's project plan.

On the side of Bona Films, Yu Dong saw that the production cost estimated by Tianmi Film and Television Production Company was as high as [-] million, and it would continue to increase in the future, so he couldn't hold back.

"Director Xiaozhang is getting bigger and bigger, and the production cost of [-] million has been shouted out." Yu Donghe was unable to complain during the meeting with his senior executives.

The executive of the subordinate Bona Films laughed: "Other directors called for an investment of [-] million, and I probably thought he was joking, but Director Zhang's [-] million is almost certainly the real [-] million."

"None of this is the key. The most important thing is the latter sentence: additional investment will be required in the future."

"Then shall we follow suit?"

All the executives looked at Yu Dong, Yu Dong touched his chin and said, "Of course we have to invest, reply to Tianmi, we will join this project."

As Zhang Hao's hardcore partner, Bona has an inexplicable blind obedience towards Zhang Hao.In fact, Zhang Hao's project has not lost money, and it has brought a lot of rich returns to Bona.

Last year "Butterfly Effect" had a box office of 2.62 million. Although it made money, it was considered as the Waterloo of Zhang Hao's directorial career, and many media and people in the circle began to look down on it.

None of these can affect Bona Pictures' trust in Zhang Hao, but instead continue to firmly support him.

What's more, this year's Zhang Hao went overseas and achieved great success. "Batman: Beginning of War" is about to reach the box office of [-] million US dollars.

The combined box office of all Chen Gezi's movies can reach [-] million U.S. dollars?Not to mention Zhang Hao and those masterpieces.

Now that Wanda Pictures and Huayi, who have withdrawn from the cooperation, are regretful, they heard that President Huayi invited director Zhang to dinner every three days, so they wanted to repair their relationship and continue to cooperate.

And Cong Shao was also scolded by his father Wang Yiwan. It is said that if Cong Shao does not make any achievements, Wang Yiwan will take back the management rights of the company.

Bona Films has invested in it, and Penguin, who is a newcomer and still holds shares, is naturally the same.Not to be outdone, Enlight Pictures joined the project together.

In addition, more than a dozen small and medium-sized investors joined the project.Although the space agency did not invest money, it provided technical support and became one of the producers of the film.

Outsiders still don't know what the project is, but insiders have already spread it in private.

When they heard that it was a Chinese sci-fi movie, and that it was a real investment of [-] million yuan, everyone's first reaction was to not believe it, thinking it was just a gimmick.

But when they saw that the director was Zhang Hao, the skeptics immediately shut their mouths.

If it were someone else, even if it was a national teacher, no one would believe that there are really directors who can make good Chinese science fiction movies.

No, to be more confident, no one can make a good Chinese science fiction movie.

But changing to Zhang Hao, it will be different immediately. Zhang Hao has already proved his ability through "Batman: Beginning of War".

He has the ability to take charge of a large-scale project, while many domestic crews are still in the mode of small workshops.

Some people also say that making a movie is not only about the director, but also about the actors, the team, and even the most important special effects work in science fiction.

This question is very acute, but on the third day after the project was submitted, the Moon Palace Special Effects Studio on Hong Kong Island was officially established. Looking at the core technical backbone, they were all engineers and technicians from Industrial Light & Magic.

The person in charge of the studio is Bai Xia who has just resigned from Industrial Light & Magic. He was lured back by Zhang Hao with a Batmobile.

"At present, the studio has absorbed a lot of talents, including more than 100 people in computer CG, model making, sound design, etc., including 22 senior engineers.

In addition, we also plan to continue to expand enrollment, and strive to build Moon Palace Studio into the largest and world-class special effects studio in Asia. "Bai Xia introduced the situation of the studio to Zhang Hao who came to attend the listing ceremony.

"If Gong Jun and the others hear your words, I'm afraid they won't be too happy." Zhang Hao laughed.

"Haha, let's work together, we are responsible for different directions, our studio is better at digital special effects, but Tiangong Yicai is better at model making and physical special effects.

Especially that young engineer named Qiao Xin, if I were still in Industrial Light & Magic, I would definitely poach her. " Bai Xia said.

"If there are any problems in the studio, please tell me, and I will try to solve them as much as I can," Zhang Hao said.

Zhang Hao controlled Moon Palace Special Effects Studio through a newly established investment company, which was registered offshore.

The purpose of this is to bypass the protocol and avoid unnecessary troubles.

Fortunately, the special effects industry is not chips and oil, otherwise it is easy to breed mold, and no matter how to bypass the agreement, it will not work.

Bai Xia said: "At present, the personnel are in a state of integration, continue to practice with a big project, and run the personnel."

"Don't worry, there will be a big project waiting for you to do soon." Zhang Hao smiled and turned to other issues: "Have your wife and children settled down?"

"It's settled down, my daughter is studying in Cuiying Primary School, and my wife is also a foreign teacher." Bai Xia said.

Bai Xia's wife is a white Catholic, a more traditional one, and she also expressed support for her husband's coming back for development.

"That's good. Settling you talents well is all I can do." Zhang Hao felt relieved after hearing this.

"I would also like to thank Brother Hua for his help. Without him, it wouldn't be so smooth." Bai Xia showed gratitude.

Andy had just finished his visit, when he heard someone calling himself, he said, "I heard you talking about me, what are you talking about me?"

"No way, this is a compliment for your warm heart." Zhang Hao said, patted Hua Tsai on the shoulder and asked: "Brother Hua, my next project has a role that doesn't have many roles, and I want to invite you to play it."

"Well, no problem." Hua Tsai agreed straight away: "As long as it is your invitation, I will definitely agree."

"Well, it's settled like this, save the schedule for August and September, the shooting will be very hard." Zhang Hao said.

"What do you mean, are you afraid of hardship when you are an actor?"

"It's hard to say, some people will feel bitter."

Hua Tsai does not have the foresight of Zhang Hao's previous life, and expresses his disbelief: "Any actor who thinks his job is hard, then he is not worthy of being an actor."

"Haha, that's true." Zhang Hao smiled knowingly: "If you are afraid of suffering, you probably won't be able to join my crew."

Zhang Hao is not one of those puppet directors who have no right to speak and are all controlled by capital. Whoever the capital lets use can be used.

If the capital wants to control Zhang Hao's casting, and even the filming of the film, then the capital must be the one to get out.

How to say that, there can be many capitals, but there are only a few talented directors who can make money.

Some people say that it is difficult to move forward if you offend capital, but this is not applicable to Zhang Hao. Capital offended him and was soon replaced by other capital.

This is the authority of a director who has made achievements. Zhang Hao has a reputation and strength, and he is not afraid of the capital that others fear like a tiger.

Besides, in terms of capital, although he is worth 30 billion, he is not as good as those top rich people, but he is not bad, it should be...
