Chapter 332 Conception of Internet Drama: "Late Ming Dynasty"

After hearing the investment of 1.8 million US dollars, everyone has greater expectations and more ideas for this movie.

Of course, as some film journalists, their greater reflection now is to remember in their hearts and think about how to compose their manuscripts next.

As for some people who really love movies, including reporters, and some lucky movie fans, they are very excited in their hearts.

After "Gravity", it seems that a brand new sci-fi blockbuster will appear in China.

Chen Xi continued at this time: "As for the specific content of the film's story, the specific background is set in the not-too-distant future. With the deterioration of the earth's natural environment, human beings are facing the threat of being unable to survive. At this time, scientists are in the solar system. A wormhole was discovered near Saturn, through which people can break through the limitations of human beings, and go to outer space to find opportunities to continue the hope of life. An expedition team traveled beyond the solar system through this wormhole, and their goal was to find a star suitable for A planet for human colonization. On this spaceship, the expedition team faced unprecedented challenges, unprecedented in human thought..."

Chen Xi's words were basically without emotion, as if they were endorsed.

But now that Chen Xi said these words, it still made their blood boil!

Doomsday background!

Last hope!

Wormhole!

Adventure!

There are so many attractive factors, but they are all put together!

When thinking of so many factors, everyone's heart is full of anticipation, and everyone feels that they want to see this movie as soon as possible.

However, the time Chen Xi mentioned will be the Lunar New Year file in 2013, which means there is still a long time before it will be officially released.

For everyone, it still takes more than a year to wait, and more than a year is too long.

Chen Xi's previous movie was released very quickly, which has already formed a certain impression on everyone. It feels as if he will be able to see his new movie soon, as long as he just heard the news and can see it soon.

However, since "Source Code", Chen Xi's films have been taking a while.

Think about it too, after all, this is a movie that needs to be carefully crafted, and it must be polished with all its strength.

...After the press conference of "Interstellar" appeared, a lot of news swept across China in an instant, and many movie fans knew the specific information of this movie.

"A huge investment of 12 billion! I'm excited just thinking about it."

"As the background of the apocalypse, looking for the last hope of mankind, this is really a subject that is naturally very attractive. I don't know how Chen Xi will make it... Anyway, there is no need to worry about his movies at all."

"There is another good movie to watch! It's just that it will take more than a year and I can't even wait... I hope Chen Xi and the others can make it soon! Well, don't delay the ticket. Although there is no precedent before, who knows if it will happen?" Will it?"

"Chen Xi's movie really makes people look forward to it. Listening to what he said is already very attractive! I really hope to replicate and even surpass the glory of "Gravity"!"

...Chinese movie fans are collectively enthusiastic now, thinking that Chen Xi's new movie will appear in the world soon, everyone can't help but feel excited.

#星星通过# also climbed to the headlines of the scarf in a very short period of time, and the search volume broke through [-] million in a short time!
Chen Xifa's scarf had more than [-] comments at a very fast speed!

It is conceivable that the current Chen Xi, how strong his influence and everyone's expectations for him are.

After holding a new movie conference, Chen Xi began to plan a TV drama project on the video website, which is actually an online drama.

Chen Xi made this web drama purely by himself.

Including screenwriters...

Including the preparations in the early stage, everything must be like this.

Chen Xi's preparations are for the next few shoots.

After such a long time, Chen Xi has already made some considerations, he has a certain foundation, and he actually has some ideas about his original goal... And if that time really comes, Chen Xi estimates that he will Will use some special movie types to prove myself.

At that time, Chen Xi will need to rely on her true level.

But if it's really his own movie, which belongs to him completely, then Ye Ling doesn't know what will happen, and doesn't know if he can make that feeling.

In fact, after practicing so many movies, Chen Xi now has a lot of experience in how to make movies and what kind of movies should be shot, and also has many methods, but Chen Xi himself has no idea what effect a movie will produce. There is no good idea, after all, it is easy to talk about it on paper, but it is not difficult to actually shoot it.

Chen Xi plans to shoot a historical drama to practice, and it will take a lot of thought and experience.

This historical drama Chen Xihui adopts the narrative style of HBO's American drama "Rome", interspersing a period of history with different people from the top and bottom.

As for the choice of history, Chen Xi also thought about it for a long time, and finally chose the late Ming Dynasty.

In fact, China's history is really rich, and there are too many places worth talking about in just a few decades, and it can even be described as magnificent.However, Chen Xi finally chose the end of the Ming Dynasty because he felt that the various conditions in the end of the Ming Dynasty could cover almost all the wars and schemes in China's 2000-year history.

In the late Ming dynasty, the struggle between imperial power and power, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, the struggle within the Donglin Party, the treacherous and loyal people, those who usually talk about their hearts with nothing, and those who repay the king with their lives in danger, and even though Very greedy but able to do things, the factions of the army... Then, in terms of major forces, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the struggle within the Qing Dynasty, the southern warlords...

So many forces have all communicated in just a few decades, and each name is full of controversy but will remain controversial for many years: Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen, Mao Wenlong, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting, and even the names of Nanming later. Shi Kefar, Ma Shiying, other Dorgon, Huang Taiji, Duoduo, Wu Sangui...

There are really too many people who appear intensively within such a time.

In fact, many wars of the previous generation, and even many wars after that, even the war of resistance in the Republic of China, can find their shadows in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

A few years is too much time, too much stuff.

For the upper-level route, the Manchu side just skimmed over it, and turned simple facial makeup into conquered barbarians. It doesn't involve too much, after all, the pen and ink are limited.

He mainly describes Li Zicheng and others. The court side mainly includes descriptions of Chongzhen and others. There are Lu Xiangsheng and others in the imperial court. ...

These lines run in parallel, depicting the magnificent era bit by bit.

Chen Xi made this movie more for himself to practice, to prepare for some future movies, and if this kind of TV series really reaches the TV station, it may not be able to be released smoothly, even if it is released, it is estimated that there will be no ratings, so Chen Xi simply followed the route of online dramas.

However, there is still a problem, that is, where does the investment for this web drama come from? If it is only for Deep Space Film and Television Investment, after all, although the company is still decided by Chen Xi alone, it will already be involved in the stakes. There were a lot of people, so Chen Xi didn't plan to involve too many people, and he didn't want the company to suffer. He planned to spend most of the investment himself.

This kind of TV series has quite high specifications. Chen Xi estimated that where there is war, one episode will cost about 1000 million. If there is no war scene, one episode will still cost about 300 million to 700 million, or even more. What's more, Chen Xi himself will contribute 7000 million yuan for investment, which is purely his own money.

Chen Xi now has more than 1 million yuan that is purely his own money and can be used. It seems that it will cost a lot to invest in this online drama.

As for this kind of online drama, it is really difficult to recover the cost, and it is almost impossible to place advertisements. After all, it is basically impossible to place advertisements in costume dramas (please ignore the 58 city of "Gu Jian Qi Tan"). Chen Xi wants It followed the route of "Tomb Raiders Notes" of later generations, and used the method of pay-on-demand to recover the cost as much as possible.

Chen Xi's season is probably set to 12 episodes, and the total investment may be around 8000 million. If it is done well and everyone buys it, there will be a second season, a third season, and a theatrical version. Big movies, these are all planned by Chen Xi.

But he reckons the whole thing may not be so easy.

However, compared to this matter, Chen Xi still needs to make "Interstellar" really well, and show the world-conquering power of this movie.

At that time, if "Interstellar" can achieve better results than "Gravity", at that time, Chen Xi's theaters and video sites will basically be completed. It should be time for the real harvest.

Chen Xi had already planned these things.

In October, "Interstellar" will officially start filming.

In order to shoot "Interstellar", Chen Xi also made a lot of preparations, and made too much effort in setting up the scene. For the scene inside the spaceship, Chen Xi made a model of the spaceship. In this regard In fact, Chen Xi still spent close to 6000 million to make it, and every place was strictly manufactured according to the concept and drawings.

The studio where the spaceship scenes and cosmic scenes of "Interstellar" were shot is the same studio used when shooting "Gravity". In this regard, the use of the two also has a good effect.

Except for the spaceship scene, Chen Xi and the others mainly shot the other scenes on the North China Plain, but they chose a place with a pretty good scenery, on the plain, a bit like the cornfields in the original "Interstellar" place for shooting.

But those scenes in the cornfield will be filmed around May next year, which is actually in the final stage of filming.

After all, Chen Xi and the others filmed this clip in the North China Plain where summer corn is harvested twice a year.

In this regard, Chen Xi also imitated Nolan, and also bought a large corn field to plant himself, and will start filming on the corn field he planted.

On this point, Chen Xi still did it herself.

After preparing these things, "Interstellar" will almost start shooting. In the shooting arrangement of this movie, at the beginning, the pictures on the spaceship were shot in the studio, and then on the ground. Some other aspects of shooting, then went to Iceland to shoot the part of the alien planet, and finally came back here to shoot the part in the cornfield.

It also took Chen Xi a long time to plan these things, but after the planning was done, the shooting was more effective and faster.

A movie like "Interstellar" is actually very strict in many details. If the details are not done well, it will be really difficult for this movie to make an effect.

Many touching parts of the movie are actually trivial, which is obvious.

Starting from October 10th, after a launch conference, "Interstellar" officially started its own filming. At this launch conference, many reporters got a lot of news, including Chen Xi himself. Looking forward to the future of Interstellar, Chen Xi feels that the box office of "Interstellar" should surpass the previous "Gravity", and this is also his pursuit.

This kind of news is not surprising to everyone, and many people even think it is better,

Indeed, this is Chen Xi!

Basically, everything he said was unsuccessful, including "Gravity", which many people couldn't believe before. In the end, Chen Xi still won a box office of 8 million US dollars. So now Chen Xi's new movie, obviously It is still very possible to realize what Chen Xi said now.

In order to achieve this goal, Chen Xi also made a lot of changes to "Interstellar". In fact, this may not be better than the original version, and it may even be worse, but it will become more powerful in terms of commerciality.

Chen Xi thought of many things.

During the initial filming of the film, because of the "Gravity" as the previous basis, the initial filming of "Interstellar" was still familiar with the scenes in space, including the places inside the spaceship.

In fact, inside the spaceship, the shooting difficulty of "Interstellar" is obviously lower than that of "Gravity", because there are very few scenes of weightlessness in it, which is quite rare.

So the shooting progress of the movie is also very fast.

Huge LED light screens, the kind seen in Gravity, are now used to create reflections on the astronauts' helmets.

Chen Xi's filming is basically very satisfactory, Leung Chao-wai's acting is very good, the feeling of just leaving home and leading to an unknown direction, Leung Chao-wai really used it to the extreme.

In particular, his eyes are really great, and he performed quite well in many places.

Chen Xi also felt that her casting vision was really not covered!
