I didn't want to be an actor

This is "The Wandering Earth"!

If Shen Liang really wants to be an actor, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

A movie that goes straight into the mainstream…

Of course, this comes with a memory bonus.

In fact, the current crew of "The Wandering Earth" gives people a very...unreliable feeling.

The subject matter is unpopular, the project is empty, funds are scarce, the director is promoting pyramid schemes, and child labor is exploited—Zhao Jinmai has to shoot for more than ten hours every day...

In fact, even if the filming of "The Wandering Earth" is completed, it will still be a movie that no one sees.

Wanda, the controlling shareholder, withdrew its investment, and several participating investors refused to renew their investment.

The desperate director Guo Fan almost planned to cut off the entire unfilmed space line and prepare to release it in the summer of 2018...

If this is really the case, he will definitely become cannon fodder in the box office hit movies starring front-line celebrities such as Xu Zheng's "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Shen Teng's "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Huang Bo's "A Good Show", etc. "Three Days Tour" has a box office of over 100 million, so we are lucky!

Fortunately, Wu Jing’s blessing!

Wu Jingzhi paid zero salary to support Space Line and invested an additional 60 million, which led to more than 50 million in follow-up funds, finally bringing the film's special effects to the top level in the mainland.

The biggest problem for Shen Liang is... he never thought about becoming an actor!

Moreover, if he agrees, what will be his future work plan?

Shen Liang was still hesitating whether to star in the role, but Guo Fan had already led him to the studio and showed him the concept design...

"This is our conceptual design, including planetary engines, underground cities, and carrier vehicles. All scenes are conceived in detail..."

Shen Liang looked at the scene concepts all over the wall and was completely surprised...

How long has it taken to prepare?

"In fact, the entire process of the original "The Wandering Earth" lasted 2,500 years and was divided into five stages..."

Guo Fan explained his idea on the side: "They are the braking era, the escape era, the wandering acceleration era, the wandering deceleration era and then the new sun era... If they are all shot, the capacity will be too large and one movie will not be able to sustain it. Therefore, We intercepted Crisis on Jupiter..."

"Crisis on Jupiter?"

"Specifically, the Earth passed by Jupiter, was captured by Jupiter's gravity, and hit Jupiter 37 hours, 4 minutes and 12 seconds later..."

"So...the whole story revolves around the crisis on Jupiter?"

"right!"

"How to remove it?"

"The shock wave created by igniting Jupiter pushed the Earth forward..."

Speaking of this, Guo Fan sighed: "I am under a lot of pressure now. I have met many people in the industry who all say, 'If you succeed, Chinese movies will have the science fiction genre from now on; if you fail, , I guess no one will dare to touch hard science fiction again in a few years’…”

Shen Liang encouraged him: "You are walking a road that no one has ever walked before... Do you expect Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai to make science fiction? They know nothing about science fiction..."

"You can't say that..."

"I'm telling the truth!" Shen Liang explained: "They lack understanding of modern industry and the operation of modern society. They seem to live in an agricultural society. The atmosphere of traditional craftsmen is serious. They don't understand science... In fact, nowadays In a science fiction movie, the most important thing is not the special effects, but the story logic...you have to conform to public perception!”

"Oh? You think so?"

"Of course... many of Tengxun's games, such as "God of War" and "Ni Shui Han", have absolutely world-class CG special effects..."

"Games... eh, all the special effects talents at this stage have been taken away by game companies..."

Sighing, Guo Fan talked about science fiction aesthetics again...Oriental science fiction aesthetics.

"We studied for a long time and finally decided to refer to Soviet aesthetics..."

"Yes, this is very important. The Hong Kong director obviously filmed an Eastern fantasy, but what appeared were Western monsters... Especially Cheng Baorui's "The Sky", even if it was poorly shot, the special effects were also quite poor... It's just very Typical copying of European and American low-quality special effects... Regardless of whether it conforms to Eastern aesthetics, the final result is neither foreign nor fishy..."

Guo Fan nodded: "What impressed me most was Wang Jing's "Future Police". The special effects and mechas... are obviously the special effects of third-rate Hollywood science fiction movies..."

"Well, of course, special effects are the foundation. The most important thing in a movie is emotion. The audience will not burst into tears because of the special effects, so doing the role well and the emotion well are the most important tasks..."

"You are so right..." Guo Fan sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of science fiction movies... Let's do this project together!"

Shen Liang hesitated: "...I..."

"What concerns do you have?"

"It's not that I don't want to film this drama, but I still have to record the show and prepare the EP... I can't concentrate on the crew..."

"It's okay, our shooting cycle is six months, you have enough time to do your thing!" Guo Fan looked at him and asked doubtfully: "Are you not optimistic about the "Wandering Earth" project?"

"No...absolutely not!" Shen Liang shook his head quickly and explained by the way: "I quite like what you are doing. If the money is not enough, I can invest 10 million...but I...are really not suitable to be an actor..."

"...How do you know you are not suitable?" Guo Fan asked subconsciously, and then he realized: "10 million? Are you willing to invest?"

"Of course!" Shen Liang explained: "Now is the best time to make Chinese science fiction. Science fiction movies represent the overall strength of a country. If one's own technological level is not strong enough, no one will buy it. Hollywood science fiction themes The popularity of movies around the world is inseparable from the dominance of one superpower after the Cold War and the high-tech capabilities displayed in the Gulf War. The whole world recognizes that the United States may have similar capabilities, so everyone recognizes their science fiction-themed movies. ”

"To put it simply, science fiction movies are directly linked to the recognition of your country's strength in the world. The threshold for admission is quite high. China has this kind of strength! In addition, you have already made enough preparations... Of course I want to believe that "The Wandering Earth" will be a high-quality science fiction film!"

"Thank you!" Guo Fan suddenly grabbed Shen Liang's hand: "Thank you..."

Shen Liang also looked serious: "Come on..."

"Then you should join in and let's make this movie together!"

Shen Liang was stunned for a moment and explained again: "...No, I really don't have time..."

"Don't worry, I won't keep you if you have any business activities... You are free on this crew!" While he was talking, producer Gong Geer opened the door and walked in. As soon as Guo Fan saw him, he immediately hugged him Shen Liang: "Look, our Liu Qi!"

When Gong Geer saw Shen Liang, he immediately clapped his hands: "...I just said that Shen Liang is the most suitable, regardless of age and temperament, he matches perfectly!"

"You go and notify the photographer, we will take a publicity photo... Then notify the audition director, saying that the actor who plays Liu Qi has been found, and there is no need to audition again... Come, I will take you to meet the actors on the crew..."

Guo Fan pulled Shen Liang and walked towards the studio...

Then I met Li Guangjie, Zhao Jinmai, Wu Mengda, Sui Kai, Zhang Yichi and other completely unknown people...

Shen Liang... was confused the whole time...

I was really confused. After Gong Geer came in, within three minutes, he followed Guo Fan to meet the cast and crew, and then changed into a set of crew costumes. The photographer came over and took a photo as a promotional photo...

Finally met the actors again.

When I reacted, I was already ready to sign!

Well, in the conference room, getting ready to sign the actor's contract.

Shen Liangzhang finally came to his senses: "...I haven't told the company yet."

"Then you say it now!"
