I became famous after I didn't grow tall

"The Queen" was officially released a week after its release. It grossed a total of 430 million yuan at the box office, becoming the box office champion in the same period.

Of course, in addition to box office revenue, what people in the industry are most talking about is that it breaks the ice between the urban theme of holographic movies and the fashion circle. Now there is no clothing licensing fee, and most brands want to sponsor holographic movies.

Wei Lan, who was wildly praised by the Producers Association, has started preparations for his third film.

Ever since he dreamed about a long-lost dream on the show, Wei Lan knew that his strange talent had not disappeared when he came to this world, and Wei Lan's way to fight against this continuous dream was to make movies.

Perhaps the subconscious mind is reminding herself that Wei Lan's strange mental influence will disappear only if she takes pictures of the feelings Wei Lan's various dreams bring to her. Otherwise, she will continue to face the troubles of various strange dreams. This is also her way to cure the mental influence. .

This was the case for Wei Lan in her previous life. Even if this influence did not interfere with her life, it had a huge impact on her life choices, so making movies gave up her beloved career.

The world view of this recent dream is very interesting and grand, but Wei Lan had a feeling that it would be difficult to film, because not only would it be difficult to find actors, but the data stream would also cost a lot of money...

"Dip, drip, drip..."

"The current data flow is insufficient! The current data flow is insufficient!"

"Exit the director machine in ten seconds, ten, nine, eight..."

Wei Lan withdrew from the director's machine with a look of helplessness.

Today, the driver, Lao Wang, accompanied her to the studio. Although Ye Luoxue accompanied her most of the time, there were occasional exceptions.

Ye Luoxue lives a standard life of a wealthy lady. Her daily life includes the income of fixed asset funds under her name given by a property manager, going to medical beauty centers, shopping in shopping malls, and gatherings with other ladies. After Wei Lan's filming, She had another daily routine, taking Wei Lan to work.

At present, Wei Lan has moved to the studio specially prepared for her by Wei Mingjie.

This brand new studio redesigned the entrance based on Wei Lan's situation. The actor's cabin and the director's room are two independent entrances that do not interfere with each other. At the same time, the director's room can control everything in the entire studio, including checking the data flow. Wei Lan's work was greatly facilitated.

At least when Wei Lan wanted to go to the studio, he didn't need Ye Luoxue to accompany him the whole time.

After getting out of the director's machine, Wei Lan looked at the data flow inventory.

She had just experimentally constructed a giant strange creature in the holographic world, but before the horror showed up, the remaining five million data streams in the studio were gone.

The same data flow is even enough for Wei Lan to construct a complete solar system scene.

There are very few surreal themes in this world, and most of them are small and trivial. Even the special effects in "Xianxia Romance", which was once known as the classic Xianxia classic by Su Yining, are similar to the upgraded version of martial arts. It is far from Weixia. There is a huge gap between the more mysterious and grand scenes that Lan wants to express.

Of course, there are limitations of ideological trends and imagination, but more importantly, there are limitations of funds.

Because data flow is a very strange thing, the more unprecedented and unrealistic the scene, the more data flow is required.

As for anything that has never appeared in this world, the first thing created consumes the most data flow.

It's no longer right to say it's a money grab, it's a money burn. The dynamic scenes of the holographic movie are burning money every minute and every second.

On the contrary, the more often the scenes that have been used by film and television directors are created, the less data flow it takes to recreate them. It is similar to the film and television city that has been built in reality. After one team has filmed it, other teams can also use it. This is what Creating a detailed city in a holographic world requires very little data flow.

The first person to eat the crab has the biggest investment and the biggest risk. But the person who came before him planted the tree and the person who came after him can enjoy the shade. The producer who spent the money initially did not make any money, but the producers who later worked on the same theme made money.

This was the case when Chen Yuanhang was filming "Starship Troopers" at Wei. Wei's funds were trial and error, and finally he went to Chengguang to film "Star Wars". Before "Starship Troopers" was produced, all the investment None of them can be seen. Constructing a new theme that has never been filmed before is a huge test for both the director's aesthetics and the production vision.

From this point, Wei Lan seems to understand why holographic movies in this world have developed so slowly. The holographic movie market has only begun to receive a large influx of capital in recent years, and it is normal for this to be slow.

After doing this calculation, Wei Lan suddenly felt that the money he had earned before was not enough. If he wanted to realize the idea of ​​this new movie at once, he would invest more than one billion, which is a basic level. He also wanted to fully express the world view in one movie. Not enough.

The best way is to start with a clue and complete the world view through a series of movies——

Until eventually a cinematic universe was created.

The first film in the series has a very strong lead, making the audience interested in this world view. It also feels like the tip of the iceberg has been unveiled. At the same time, subsequent filming must also take into account commercial aspects. A qualified film, script The inheritance and transfer of content are also qualified...

Time flies to August. Wei Lan's daily routine is to use a tablet computer to draw the frame and some storyboards, the charming protagonist, the entry point that makes people interested, and the 'interface' reserved for the series of movies... This movie The script writing and related preparation time for her was much longer than that of her previous two films.

Wei Mingjie and his wife have seen Wei Lan's workaholic nature, and they started preparing for the next movie almost not long after the last movie was finished.

However, the preparation time for this movie was beyond the family's expectation. It was not until September, when Wei Sijia started school, that Wei Lan finally completed the basic script framework of the first movie.

‘Special effects elements: super, horror atmosphere’

‘Protagonist One: Gender Undetermined’

‘Basic requirements: Under 30 years old, excellent appearance, charming, acting skills...genius level’

‘Protagonist Two: Gender Undetermined’

'Basic requirements: Under 30 years old, charming and ambitious, with excellent acting skills or true character...'

Wei Lan took an electronic pen and drew a circle on the actors' acting skills, especially the protagonist one. She heavily circled the words 'genius level' twice.

The entertainment industry is so big that there is indeed no shortage of actors with superb acting skills. There are very few talented actors, and actors who meet the requirements for appearance are rare.

Just like among the actors Wei Lan has worked with, Su Yining's appearance is up to standard, but her acting skills are not up to standard. Yang Xingyuan's acting skills are up to standard, but his appearance is not up to standard.

Although acting is very important, it is undeniable that appearance is also one of the most important commercial elements, especially for this kind of series of movies that create a movie universe. The nature of it is almost destined to attract fans.

Fans here are not meant to attract fans of the actor to watch the movie, but to make this fictional character have a large number of fans. It is even said that when people see this actor in the future, what everyone thinks of is not him himself, but the movie character he plays.

Maybe this is not good for actors, but it represents the merit of Wei Lan's film.

When saving the document, Wei Lan entered the script and decided on a name——

"Psychic Epidemic"

…

Knowing that Wei Lan's next movie was already in preparation, not only Wei, but the entire film and television industry was almost shocked.

Basically, most of the actors with unavailable schedules are inquiring about casting requests, and well-known music composers in the industry have also expressed interest. The public relations of three luxury brands that "Queen" has worked with immediately sent letters asking if they need clothing sponsorship support, and they can delegate designs. The designer specializes in character design and costumes...

Of course, after knowing that the investment for this movie was expected to be high and that it would be a big project, more investors asked Wei Lan if he needed to invest.

It's a pity that this area is strictly guarded by the Wei family. Not to mention that Wei Lan himself has a lot of funds to make independent films. The shareholders of the Wei family have been filled with smoke during the meeting, and they are all investing in Wei Lan's new movies to compete for quotas.

In terms of funds, Wei Lan herself has not set an upper limit. Anyway, she plans to lead one lead at a time, and she is quite rich now...

"I haven't fully conceived the role of this movie yet. If there is a suitable role, I will definitely find it as soon as possible..."

After hanging up Qin An's phone, Wei Lan's phone soon rang again, it was Su Yining.

"I'm not the protagonist. I can also play a supporting role in a movie..." Su Yining naturally asked about Wei Lan's new movie, with a rather aggrieved tone.

With the popularity of "Country Teacher" and "The Queen", her current popularity is not that she has no roles to shoot, but she feels that working with Wei Lan is the happiest. When she heard that Wei Lan was filming a new movie, she was naturally her first choice. I quickly ran to ask.

"There are no suitable ones. The main and supporting characters in this movie are all too inappropriate. The others are just minor characters with no lines. They are all the same. There is no need to delay the schedule to play such a role."

After co-starring in two movies, the current relationship between Wei Lan and Su Yining is no longer the same as Qin An's, which requires the use of euphemistic words to communicate. They can just talk about it directly, and neither of them will take it to heart.

Su Yining didn't mind after hearing this, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "The supporting actors are not good? So who are the main and supporting actors in this movie?"

Wei Lan raised his eyebrows and answered her: "Mental patient."

Su Yining: "..."

Since the framework of the script has been determined, the content inside needs to be filled in slowly.

Therefore, Wei Lan's recent daily routine is to fill in the content of the script while searching for actors.

When Wei Sijia went home at the weekend, she learned that Wei Lan was already preparing for a new movie, and couldn't help but also wanted to ask her if there was a suitable role for her.

At that time, Wei Lan was having afternoon tea in the living room while relishing the information.

Wei Sijia came closer, and just as she cleared her throat and was about to ask, she caught a glimpse of the title of the information in Wei Lan's hand——

"Research Report on Mental Patients"

Wei Sijia:? ? ?
