Entertainment: Dominate domestic entertainment through host competition

Chapter 183 Zhang Lin, you are my eldest father!

Zhang Lin, who seemed to have understood what he was hearing, felt something in his heart, nodded and took the script into his hands.

In his previous life, he was not a fan of Little Poker, but he went to the cinema to buy tickets in person to support "The Wandering Earth 2". He quarreled with the ticket seller because he was clearly watching Little Poker 2 but the ticket stub was from a certain Jiang Hong.

Like most Chinese, he is really proud and admired of the "Wandering Earth" series.

Chinese science fiction movies have always been the hardest-hit area in the eyes of all filmmakers.

The Xiao Poqiu team not only had the courage to get involved, but also achieved world-class standards and contributed a decisive force to the development of the Chinese film industry.

Then there is the rule that sequels are rarely as good as the first one.

The second part is actually better than the first one, and it is even better.

Therefore, for Guo Fan, who single-handedly created this classic series, Zhang Lin did not hesitate to call him "film master".

Zhang Lin opened the folder with thoughts surging in his mind and saw the words "Wandering Earth".

(TV picture): People panic and demonstrate

(Oppose the "Wandering Earth" plan)
There were clashes with the military and police, with Molotov cocktails and tear gas flying across the streets.

TV commentary (VO) let the earth fly out of the solar system, looking for a new home...

Except for some differences in some details at the beginning, this script is no different from the plots I have seen in previous lives.

Because the sun is about to expand into a red giant, mankind is facing the crisis of the destruction of the earth.

In order to survive, human beings jointly launched a project called "The Wandering Earth" to transform the earth into a world ship, leave the solar system together, and find a new home.

The script mainly revolves around the story of Liu Peiqiang and his son Liu Qi.

After spending more than 40 minutes reading the script, Zhang Lin raised his head and looked at Guo Fan and Gong Chrome who were looking expectantly.

Looking at each other, he sincerely praised: "Just looking at the script, this is an outstanding Chinese science fiction film. It is also a cornerstone on the road to becoming a cultural power and a powerful weapon for cultural export."

Guo Fan slammed the table and looked so excited that he was speechless.

Cultural power, cultural export~~
This is the most praise he has heard since he started this project in 2015.

Finally, he poured himself a glass of wine and said with tears of gratitude: "Zhang Lin, I am not good at words, everything is in this glass of wine!"

After all, he raised his neck and drank it all.

Gong Chrome was also extremely excited, and handed over a stack of documents and said: "This is the chronicle that Lao Guo and I built together in order to improve the world view of the movie. Zhang Lin, take a look."

Taking it with a smile, Zhang Lin looked at it carefully.

[In 1977, after counting the solar activity of the past 1000 years and detailed records of the past 50 years, Chinese astronomer Fu Jianming concluded that the acceleration of fusion in the sun's core would produce a fatal helium flash, causing the sun to die and rapidly expand to engulf the earth. argument.

The argument did not resonate internationally.

In the years that followed, Fu Jianming studied helium flash with NASA expert Terrence Brook. Until July 2000, Terrence Brook was prosecuted for misappropriating NASA research funds, and the trial moved forward quickly.

Within a month, Terrence Brook died of a heart attack and the foundation was disbanded.

Then Fu Jianming returned to China with all the research results, received financial support from Zhengfu, and continued research.

After 2000, various countries conducted multi-faceted research and attempted risk avoidance plans for helium flash.

Among them, China established a project to build the 2007-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) in 500. It was located in Guizhou Province and was completed in 2016.

It was not until 2018 that Liu Xin, a former expert on the helium flash research team, launched the "Wandering Earth" model and proposed the concept of a planetary engine for the first time.

……

Two years after Fu Jianming's death, in 2, a severe disaster broke out, triggering worldwide riots, and it was finally confirmed that nuclear fusion at the center of the sun was accelerating.

In June, the 6th solar cycle coronal ejection storm hit the earth.

Solar storms exceeding the G5 level destroyed 40% of civil power transmission and transformation lines and communication facilities, destroying more than 50% of civilian electronic instruments, and global turmoil broke out. 】

This Liu Xin should be paying tribute to the author Liu Cixing, right?
Muttering in his heart, Zhang Lin turned the page and continued reading.

The chronicle has only a little over 1 words, and with his reading speed, he finished it quickly.

But the overwhelming sense of history is very much the style and flavor of Ball 2.

After reading it, Gong Chrome handed over some setting explanations and equipment design drawings.

Looking at the drawings he had seen online in his previous life, Zhang Lin truly felt the power of dreams.

Facing the two people's expectant gazes, he smiled and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Awesome, very awesome.

The materials you carefully prepared are full of craftsmanship. This is what our Chinese science fiction movies lack, and what Chinese movies as a whole lack. "

After a pause, he asked with a smile: "So, you are looking for me to ask me how to help you?"

After hearing this, Master Guo Fan came online and said: "We are lacking everything now!
Lack of exposure resources, lack of funds, lack of professional team of scientists..."

Guo Fan, who said this, originally just wanted Zhang Lin to cheer for them offline. It would be best if they could get in touch with the movie channel and appear in "Screening Room Six".

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lin thought for a while and said: "I will try my best to obtain exposure resources for you, including interviews with "Screening Room Six" and the movie channel.

You don’t have the finished product in the sixth release, so it’s a bit difficult to get up there, but it’s not impossible.

As for programs such as "China Film Report", as well as all the online accounts of me and my girlfriend, they can basically provide you with friendly promotion.

As long as you can maintain this original intention, we will always be your tap water. "

Looking at each other, both Guo Fan and Gong Chrome's eyes lit up.

Zhang Lin continued: "In terms of funding, I can only make suggestions and cannot make decisions on whether CCTV will invest or not.

But my buddy’s company, Fanxing Media, is the company that produced “Yang Young Summer”, and a dividend fund just happened to arrive recently.

I went to persuade him, and I think he would be willing to invest in your film. "

This time, Guo Fan and Gong Chrome not only lit up their eyes, but also their souls.

"Summer of Youth" is very popular, and they all know how to climb up Zhang Lin's high tree.

According to the current popularity of this show, the profit earned by this program must be over [-] million.

By investing tens of millions by then, the progress of CG special effects can be accelerated!
Zhang Lin kept saying: "As for the professional team of scientists, because "My Family, My Country" interviews academicians who are the pillars of the country, I have some friendship with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I will be your lobbyist when the time comes."

Hearing that Zhang Lin could even help with this, Guo Fan and Gong Chrome, who looked at each other, just wanted to kneel down and call daddy.

Sure enough, there was only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname!
A patriotic and upright boy, he is indeed a good, upright boy!
Zhang Lin is a good man!
Next, there was naturally a huge thank you, and everything was poured into the wine glass.

After going back and forth like this for a long time, Zhang Lin returned to the topic of the Wandering Earth script.

Picking up Chronicle again, he smiled and said: "After watching Chronicle, I feel that this movie can definitely be made into a series.

There are so many stories to tell, from the Age of Catastrophe all the way up to your version of the Jupiter Crisis.

And I think the sun is about to expand and engulf the solar system.

Human beings on the earth belong to different countries and have different thoughts and concepts.

So he should have devised various survival plans.

Popular virtual networks on the Internet, such as the "Digital Life Project" like The Matrix, should appear according to common sense.

The plan is to create powerful quantum computers, hoping to allow humans to live forever in the digital world. "

After hearing this, Guo Fan, a science man, came online and said: "Isn't the prerequisite for immortality in the digital world that the computer should always be running normally?

Then when the sun engulfs the earth, all digital life will also perish? "

After finishing speaking, he patted his forehead and said: "If there is such a plan, the United Government must have corresponding protective measures."

Smiling and nodding, Zhang Lin continued: "And with the complexity of today's international situation, even in the face of a global disaster, all countries stand together.

But I think the process is bound to be bumpy.

The Wandering Earth Plan should also gradually take shape with the tide of the times.At first I thought it could be something like the "Mountain-Moving Project", where a planetary engine would be installed on the moon to "exile the moon", and a planetary engine would be installed on the earth to stop spinning and leave the solar system for a new home.

The "Digital Life Project" is legally prohibited because it may trigger evasive behavior in many people.

Major countries around the world are focusing on verifying the feasibility of the "Mountain Moving Plan" led by China..."

Listening carefully, Guo Fan held his chin with his hand and thought: "In my opinion, these two plans are not contradictory.

The former provides powerful computing power to the latter, and the latter ensures that the former can achieve immortality. "

After saying that, Qi Yi said: "Is there any more?"

Smiling and nodding, Zhang Lin continued: "According to the chronicle you wrote, in 2044, the feasibility verification of the Mountain Moving Project is to build a planetary engine on the earth and the moon, and verify whether the engine's power meets expectations through a pilot fire.

Liu Peiqiang is a pilot, and Zhang Peng is his master and guardian.

There is a space elevator in the Planetary Engine Base, and there is a space station above it, which can be called the Ark Space Station, which is the hub of transportation between the earth and the moon..."

Next, Zhang Lin vividly told about his "conceived" space elevator, which left Guo and Gong stunned.

How can you not be stunned!
Zhang Lin was completely cheating and described the scenes from his previous life in detail.

Even Liu Peiqiang and his friends talked about how they should prepare for their first ride in the space elevator and what their reactions would be.

Under Zhang Lin’s immersive narration~
In science fiction novels, the space elevator, the tallest building in human history, appeared as a vivid image in their minds.

Both of them felt a strong feeling at this moment, a sense of oppression and suffocation!
Just using words, Zhang Lin showed how the [-]-kilometer-long space elevator that traverses the sky and the earth soared up and stood proudly in the sky and the earth in a majestic manner.

Looking at each other, Guo Fan exclaimed: "This is so cool!
Just listening to it gave me goosebumps!
Zhang Lin, your imagination is so rich and terrifying! "

Smiling modestly, Zhang Lin suggested: "Here, I think if we shoot it in one shot, it will definitely become what netizens call a famous scene.

Of course, this is just my opinion, after all, I am not a professional. "

"This is not superficial knowledge, this is true knowledge, but the funds are burning!"

Guo Fan, who was lost in his imagination, murmured to himself, then smiled and said, "And it's burning like crazy."

"What are you afraid of? Just hire one less traffic star!"

After saying something with a smile, Zhang Lin began to tell how Liu Peiqiang fell in love at first sight with his colleague Han Duoduo when he went to the planetary engine construction base on the earth to receive training as a lunar navigator.

"I just read the script and found out that you have made this setting. Han Duoduo is the name of Liu Qi's mother."

Hearing this, Guo Fan and Gong Chrome nodded in admiration, and they were even more impressed by Zhang Lin.

The two of them racked their brains to write this script. Zhang Lin only read it once and was able to fill in so many holes for them, and he filled them in so well!

The space elevator just now was so shocking!
Now whenever I close my eyes, I have the shocking image of a space elevator in my mind!
Smiling back, Zhang Lin continued: "When Liu Peiqiang took the flowers to the space elevator and was about to express his love, the rebels of the "Digital Life Project" invaded the control system of the "Mountain Moving Project" and dispatched all the drones. The base carries out sabotage and launches missiles to destroy the space elevator and the Ark space station.

The rebels also invaded the space elevator.

Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo worked together to prevent the rebels from destroying the space elevator they were riding.

Technicians from Project Move Mountains used a new generation quantum computer, 550C, to overwrite the system and regain control.

This is mentioned in your script. According to the time, it should be considered the most advanced quantum computer at that time.

But the space station was still damaged and fell off. "

Guo Fan interrupted: "In my understanding, the space elevator should not be supported by only the bottom of a traditional building, but should be coupled with the pull of the upper counterweight, that is, the upper counterweight is outside the synchronous orbit.

Although it looks ridiculous!
Then even if it is destroyed, the space station above should not fall down, but should rotate around the earth. "

"Didn't I just say that in my imagination, the space elevator has a transfer station some distance away, and the one that fell down is the transfer station."

After explaining for a moment, Zhang Lin talked about the fighter jet battle scene that made him excited at that time.

What a dense swarm of drones and what kind of dog fights between all kinds of fighter jets from around the world. The two people's breathing became rapid when they heard it.

They felt that if this scene could be filmed, The Wandering Earth could even compete for the best military film.

Afterwards, Zhang Lin talked about the overloading of the lunar engine, causing the moon's orbit to deviate and about to hit the earth, detonating nuclear weapons and causing the moon to disintegrate, and successfully starting the earth's engine to escape from the lunar debris after many crises. These are big and exciting plot points.

Of course, there are also many very tense and exciting plot points.

For example, Guo Fan was greatly touched by the story between Zhou Zhezhi and Tu Hengyu.

It can be said that Zhang Lin's story, although intermittent and inconsistent, is more ambitious than their script.

The three-line narrative shows a grand world view.

The characters of Liu Peiqiang, Tu Hengyu, Han Duoduo, Zhang Peng, Ma Zhao, Zhou Zhezhi, etc. all have rich layers and distinct personalities, and they create a super group portrait.

The relationship between the characters is also very impressive.

Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo have transformed from brothers to husband and wife. The female characters are no longer marginal roles in many films, but are very powerful;
The master-disciple relationship between Liu Peiqiang and Zhang Peng is like father and son, like brothers, with both joy and tears;

Ma Zhao and Tu Hengyu, a pair of scientists, seem to have conflicting values, but in fact there is a lot of foreshadowing hidden inside.

After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he picked up the water cup and drank from the thirsty cup.

Guo Fan swallowed and whispered: "Actually, the movie "The Wandering Earth" is most suitable for group portraits. What you said makes me not even in the mood to shoot my script.

Otherwise, let’s just reshoot your script instead, right? "

With a chuckle, Zhang Lin said jokingly: "You deny your hard work so easily?"

"Certainly not."

Shaking his head decisively, Guo Fan said with emotion: "But the plot you told really touched me. It made me feel that it coincided with each other. It made me feel that this is what I want to shoot most..."

Guo Fan talked a lot and expressed his love for this script.

Finally, Zhang Lin sincerely hoped that he could write it down and sell it to him.

Zhang Lin was naturally happy. After agreeing, he advised: "Multi-line narrative has also proved to be more difficult. You'd better shoot your work well!"

As he spoke, he poured a glass of water for Guo Fan and said with a smile: "After this movie has accumulated experience and cultivated an excellent filming team, it will not be too late for you to realize your ambition step by step."

Knowing that this was a pertinent statement, Guo Fan nodded and sincerely thanked him.

Afterwards, the three of them exchanged glasses and exchanged glasses, chatting happily.

It wasn't until 10:30 in the evening that we finally said goodbye to each other.

That night, Zhang Lin called Wang Bingbing and Li Yan, who were on a business trip, for a video conference and told them about his plan.

When they heard that he was going to invest in a Chinese science fiction film, the two of them were shocked and thought they were hallucinating.

Can Chinese people make good science fiction movies?

Faced with questions coming from their souls, the two of them were shocked for a long time, but finally chose to believe in Zhang Lin's vision.

After all, Zhang Lin has been on the right path from the beginning to now, and has never had his crotch pulled once.

Even if Zhang Lin thinks he has pulled the crotch of Bitcoin.

In their opinion, it was also a very successful investment, the kind that could make them laugh while they slept.

Therefore, since Zhang Lin is so optimistic about this movie and plans to invest half of the money, then invest it!

At least from the story telling so far, this movie is pretty... good, right?
Well, just looking at the synopsis of the story, the plot of Ball 1 is above average.

At least they couldn't move Wang Bingbing and Li Yan who were worried about Qian.

After confirming the investment, Zhang Lin began to squander favors for the first time in his life.

For a time, most people in the stage knew about this and heard that he was busy talking about one of Liu Cixing's works.

When he recommended "Xinhua Dictionary" at the beginning of the year, everyone knew that he was a loyal reader of "The Three-Body Problem".

But no one expected that he could go to such an extent for Da Liu's works.
