Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

"I'm not crazy!"

Hearing what Han Shanping said, Zhang and his party immediately retorted: "This matter was carefully considered!"

"I know, after all, several of Dream Weaver Culture's movies have very high global box office, especially "Kung Fu Panda 2", which actually reached 4.3 million U.S. dollars! After excluding various profit sharing and other investors' shares, Dream Weaver Culture also You can get a profit of 10 billion!"

"In the past few years, Zhang Yimou's investment in "Hero" was only over 2 million! Wu Yushen's "Red Cliff" cost 6 million. Although the box office was very impressive in various places, in the end, the loss went directly to my grandma's house!"

"I know your family has a big business now, but you can't do this. Investing all 8 million in a movie is really risky!"

Seeing Han Shanping's instructive look, Zhang and his party thought about it and replied: "The reason why I said careful consideration is because Cameron was filming "Avatar"!"

Han Shanping frowned and said suddenly: "I know, you said that once "Avatar" is released, the domestic and even global 3D movie market may usher in a blowout!"

"That's right!" Zhang Yixing nodded, "After that, "Inception" will take advantage of the craze of 3D movies and use the name of a domestic 3D blockbuster to get a share of the global 3D movie market."

"The time is right, it is indeed a good opportunity!" After a moment of silence, Han Shanping nodded.

However, Han Shanping continued: "I have also read this script. It requires too many special effects and 3D production techniques. My suggestion is that before this, you'd better have a slightly different one. Such a complicated science fiction movie, practice training!”

After hearing this suggestion, Zhang Yixing also felt that it made some sense. The production of "Inception" was indeed very difficult, especially since the domestic team rarely had experience in making similar movies. If they did it rashly, they should be successful in the end. , but the process will definitely not be so smooth.

Han Shanping's advice is actually based on mature opinions.

If you first practice with a relatively easy science fiction movie and then make "Inception", it will definitely be much smoother.

Zhang Yixing nodded and said: "I will think about it!"

Seeing that Zhang and his party listened to his suggestion, Han Shanping couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

He admires this young man very much and hopes that he can continue his movie myth instead of falling into disrepair.

After all, Zhang Yixing is now like the locomotive of Chinese movies, leading domestic movies to rampage in the international market. Once he experiences a setback, I am afraid that the film capital behind him that has finally been guided by high box office to go overseas will be unable to bear it. Back off.

Thinking of this, Han Shanping looked at Zhang Yixing again and said encouragingly: "Yixing, do your best!"

Zhang Yixing hummed, "Would you like to attend the premiere of "Wall-E"?"

Han Shanping was speechless.

……

"Xiong Da, I want to eat honey!"

In the animation department of Dreamweaver Culture, everyone gathered together to watch the short film "Bear Infested" that had just been released.

Since reaching an original IP cooperation with Fangte, Zhang and his team have released several character pictures: Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Bald Qiang, King Jiji...

As for the outline of the animated story, Zhang and his party only gave one main line, that is, the two bears, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, staged hilarious showdowns with the lumberjack Bald Qiang in order to protect the forest...

With this main line and various plot ideas filled in, it was no problem for the animation screenwriting team of Dreamweaver Culture, so the short film sample was quickly released.

"Yes, send it to the boss and let him take a look!"

So not long after, Zhang and his party saw the ten-minute sample film of "Bear Bears".

After watching it twice from beginning to end, Zhang and his party couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. Except for the dubbing that needs to be adjusted, the overall content is completely flawless.

After sending the dubbing modification suggestions to the project leader of "Bear Bears", Zhang and his team closed the notebook. As soon as he took out his cell phone to chat with Zhao Jinmai, he received a text message reminder.

Zhang and his party looked at it and saw it was from Shu Chang: Idol, congratulations on turning 18! When will the coming-of-age ceremony be held? Yifei and I will be there to celebrate it for you!
Zhang Yixing replied with a crackle: Coming of age ceremony! That's something you only live in the city! I can't!

After typing, I clicked send.

When he thought about it and looked at the word "I" in the text message, Zhang Yixing scratched his head.

Good guy, I just watched a ten-minute sample, and I was so affected by Two Bears that my dialect came out!

On the other side of the text message, after Shu Chang read Zhang Yixing's reply twice, he handed the phone to Liu Yifei and said disappointedly: "He can't talk about the coming-of-age ceremony!"

Liu Yifei said, "It's just a no-brainer!"

Shu Chang pointed to the two gifts placed on the table and said depressedly: "Then what should I do with these two gifts? I have bought them for him. I can't return them, right?"

Liu Yifei also looked at the table and thought for a while, "Your movie will be released in March. When you go to Quancheng for the road show, just give it to him. Take mine too!"

"Well, okay then!"

……

After returning to Luocheng, Zhang and his party were taking the last class of last semester while thinking about a new movie script.

What Han Shanping said does make sense.

Zhang Yixing is not too worried about the box office of "Inception", but he is worried that the project will not progress smoothly due to everyone's lack of relevant production experience.

Although you can ask Cameron's technical staff to serve as consultants, it may be more beneficial to future productions if you can practice with a relatively low-cost science fiction movie.

While taking a break from class, Zhang and his party thought about the science fiction movies they had watched.

Unfortunately, many of the films were shot overseas in the early days, so it was naturally impossible to do so.

Some domestic science fiction movies are not cheap to shoot today, because the technology is still immature and expensive. In a few years, special effects technology will develop significantly and the cost will be further reduced. The production cost of such large-scale movies will further increase. compression.

After thinking about it for two lessons, Zhang and his party suddenly remembered a movie - "The Martian"!
Compared with other science fiction movies, the scenes in "The Martian" are relatively simple, and the actors stay in a spaceship for almost the entire process.

Rather than saying this is a science fiction film, it is better to say that it is a comedy wrapped in a science fiction shell. The plot and scene are simple, which is more suitable for practicing.

After writing the words "The Martian" in his notebook, Zhang Yixing wrote a rough plot of the movie based on his impressions. Then he secretly took out his cell phone and took a photo, and sent the photo directly to the Inception screenwriting department.

Today, the Inception screenwriting department already has more than twenty editors on standby.

Traditional Chinese movies are often the self-pleasure of the screenwriter or director, ignoring the audience's feelings for the sake of their so-called art.

As Chen Kaige said: "No one will understand the "The Promise" I shot ten years later!"

If this is the case, then you can’t blame the audience for criticizing this movie.

The existence of the Dream Inception Screenwriting Department headed by Zhang and his colleagues is like the brain of Dream Weaver Culture, outputting audience-oriented scripts and stories.

And as Han Shanping said, the Inception screenwriting department is now being imitated by major domestic film and television companies. (End of chapter)
