China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

"Are you really good at it? You went to Hollywood and you didn't make a movie, you only played with women?!"

The next day, the internal screening room of Zhouyi Building.

As soon as Gao Fei sat down, Ning Hao, who had arrived early, couldn't help but said with half ridicule and half emotion.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Zheng, Chen Sichen and others in the screening room couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Ning Hao's words really spoke to their hearts. If it were them... Mader, they would really want to challenge the United States!
Thinking of this, several LSPs in the room immediately looked at each other in tacit understanding, showing a look of regret.

After all, directors are mostly emotional people.

Gao Fei was not surprised by their reaction.

Because in the past few days since he came back, he has encountered a lot of pink eye patients like this.

Therefore, Gao Fei not only did not restrain himself, but instead laughed and said:
"Oscars are not as important as beauty!"

"Why should I pursue that cold dummy when there is obviously a live beauty lying on the bed!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was speechless and could only give him the middle finger in response!

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's start when everyone is here!"

Jealousy can easily change people beyond recognition, so Gao Fei is too lazy to argue with a group of greasy middle-aged men.

So after suppressing these guys, he immediately asked the staff to start the screening.

Seeing this, Guo Fan, who had been sitting next to Gao Fei, couldn't help but tense up, then took a deep breath, and began the long wait with confidence and anxiety.

Because today's preview was held just for him.

……

It is said that among the directors who joined Zhouyi in the same group as Guo Fan, he is the only one who has not released any works so far.

The rest, such as Wu Jing, Chen Sixen and others, all handed in their answer sheets sooner or later, some of which were good and some were bad.

But it was precisely this that made Guo Fan feel so stressed.

After all, except for the rookie Xiao Yang, almost none of the films made by other directors can be described as successful. They can only be said to be very successful.

If their current wave of directors can be considered the first class of China Film Directors, then the quality of this class will be terrifying.

But Guo Fan couldn't help it. Who asked him to choose a science fiction movie, and it was an industrial production that focused on science fiction.

So in the past year or so, he could only polish it patiently and slowly, without daring to be impatient at all.

From the initial design concept drawing, to the specific art design style in the later stage, and even the most critical prop production.

Guo Fan was personally involved in almost the entire process.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust others, but it’s that there really hasn’t been such a heavy science fiction film in China so far.

It can be said that no one has any work experience, so they can only rely on director Guo Fan to make the final decision and feel their way forward.

As a result, Guo Fan's nerves naturally did not dare to relax for a moment.

He was afraid that if he was a little negligent, he would make a movie like "Roboman".

So just like that, as the familiar images flashed across the big screen, the movie finally came to an end.

Because it was an internal test screening, everything was kept simple. The opening and closing credits were not even done yet, so they were just simple movie clips.

But when the last shot slowly faded away and the dim screening room was lit up again, the whole room fell into an inexplicable silence.

This made Guo Fan's heart suddenly tighten and his nerves were extremely tense.

To be honest, if Gao Fei shook his head now, Guo Fan would be frightened and faint.

Fortunately, Gao Fei didn't play any pranks. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately patted Guo Fan on the shoulder with excitement.

Seeing this situation, Guo Fan was stunned and even asked in confusion:
"It's done?"

"It's done!"

"Congratulations, you have personally opened the door to Chinese science fiction movies!"

As soon as Gao Fei said this, Guo Fan was stunned for several seconds, at a loss.

Then a tall and thick seven-foot man actually started crying in front of Gao Fei with his eyes red.

Although his teeth were still clenched, his eyes were filled with tears.

Seeing this situation, several directors in the screening hall couldn't help but sigh.

Because no one knows better than directors like them how difficult it is to shoot a science fiction movie in China!
To be honest, there were many directors in China who had this idea before Guo Fan.

There are even many directors who are much better than Guo Fan in terms of qualifications, connections and resume.

After all, before "The Wandering Earth", he had also filmed a campus love movie.

But after these seniors tried it, they finally gave up when faced with the dark road ahead.

So, only he, the silly boy, persisted until the end.

But then again, compared to the physical hard work, the mental pressure made Guo Fan feel more tired.

Fortunately, he finally saw the light.

……

After Guo Fan's mood stabilized, Gao Fei and others began to discuss the movie "The Wandering Earth".Although they ask themselves that they cannot make such a movie, they can always provide some suggestions in other aspects.

So after some communication, Guo Fan ignored his emotions and immersed himself in creation again.

But Gao Fei and the others weren't all looking for faults.

In addition to making suggestions, everyone also subconsciously summarized the advantages of this movie out of professional habits.

Just like in the past when watching movies, I always want to know what is so good about this movie?Why is it so beautiful?
After much discussion, everyone discovered that apart from the director's own ability, "The Wandering Earth" has such high quality for only two reasons:
An industrial aesthetic style that is very different from Hollywood, and... a science fiction story with a Chinese core.

Everyone agreed that these two points were the most critical points.

If Guo Fan had shot a Hollywood script this time, I'm afraid the effect might not be as good as it is now.

Of course, movies have to make money after all.

After confirming that the film was ready and could be released at any time, Gao Fei naturally changed from a director to a businessman.

So looking at Guo Fan, whose eyes were filled with excitement, Gao Fei coughed a few times and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Director Guo, if I remember correctly, I should have approved the budget of "The Wandering Earth" at [-] million, right?"

"So...can you tell me why you only spent half of it?"

To be honest, when Gao Fei saw the accounts, he was stunned.

After making movies for so long, he has seen overspending, corruption, and waste. This is the first time he has seen a director who helps the producer save money!

It’s really a long time to see you!
What puzzled Gao Fei the most was how this guy managed to spend [-] million RMB to produce hundreds of millions of US dollars in a shot?
It's not that Gao Fei looks down on him, it's that he has developed such a vision after being in the industry for so many years.

To put it simply, the quality of a movie is created by spending money.

Basically, as long as Goofy watches a movie carefully, he can guess the approximate cost.

Of course, this cost is a guess based on asking him to shoot.

But usually, the actual cost of the other party may be much higher than the figure he guessed.

So when he first saw the accounts, Gao Fei thought that Guo Fan was inferior in terms of quality.

But after the screening just ended, Gao Fei completely rejected this idea.

To be honest, if a movie like this were made by Hollywood, it would probably cost at least US$1.6 million to achieve this effect, instead of the outrageous US$5000 million.

At the same time, as Gao Fei's words fell, everyone else in the screening room was stunned.

Not surprisingly, they were just as full of questions as Gao Fei.

They can't understand why Guo Fan only spent half the budget to make a movie!
However, what they can't even understand is how Guo Fan managed to make a movie of such quality with only half the budget! ! !

So Guo Fan's ears suddenly felt like ten thousand ducks quarreling.

Facts have proved that if a man is verbose, it will have nothing to do with a woman!
After being bombarded indiscriminately, Guo Fan was also a little confused.

In the end, Gao Fei rushed those few aside and sat down. Guo Fan then glanced at Gao Fei with some embarrassment and whispered:
"Mr. Gao, there may be some mistakes in my previous plan."

"Halfway through the filming of the movie, I did the calculation again. If the second part is to be made, the cost may not be [-] million... but one billion!"

"Actually, I didn't mean to save money. I just wanted to keep up with the budget for the second part, so I tried to reduce unnecessary expenses when filming this one."

Having said this, Guo Fan didn't dare to look at Gao Fei and looked very embarrassed.

"...I'm afraid that you won't want to invest, so I want to use the money saved from the first part on the second part."

"You will invest another [-] million for the second one, and the total for the series will be [-] million. I can save a little and it will be enough."

Every word Guo Fan said was humble, and he didn't mention his remuneration at all from beginning to end.

As soon as these words came out, Gao Fei, Xu Zheng, and Chen Sichen looked at Guo Fan with complicated and incomprehensible expressions.

After all, although they love movies, they also love banknotes more.

So facing this kind of filmmakers who really regard movies as their dreams and pursuits, a few people actually have quite complicated feelings.

How can I put it, the reason why pure people are not tolerated in the world is because they easily make other people feel inferior.

Fortunately, Gao Fei has always been very self-aware.

He is a layman who loves wine, sex, and fun.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei suddenly felt much more normal.

As long as he is vulgar enough, then no one can kidnap him with such nobleness!

Of course, everyone has their own ambitions.

Although he is a layman, Gao Fei also respects others and has their own pursuits.

Therefore, facing Guo Fan's request, Gao Fei agreed without thinking.

After all, with the quality of "The Wandering Earth", no fool would refuse!

Goofy can tell with his butt that this movie is going to lose money.

So even if the second part is a loss-making business, Gao Fei has to grit his teeth and do it.

Because if Guo Fan opens up a new category of science fiction movies for China and Zhouyi, then the money Gao Fei invested in the movie will be earned back hundreds of times in the stock market!
This is the true value of high-quality film and television content!
The Wang brothers know nothing!
The estimated cost of "The Wandering Earth" on imdb is US$1.6 million, which is the result of Hollywood's reverse projection.

That’s very interesting! O(∩_∩)O haha~
