Superstars In Parallel Time and Space
Chapter 914: "Alien" shooting
Chapter 914 Shooting of "Alien"
"The last Golden Bear is still short. If "Titanic" succeeds, we will make history!"
Tao Yaoyao was full of longing, and said excitedly: "This is really too difficult. If you can do it, you will be able to stay in the history!"
In the history of film, there has never been a person who can get the three best films in Europe at the same time. Chen Mubai is the first person who deserves it, and he will naturally be written into the film history.
Chen Mubai is only one step away from this grand slam!
"Come step by step, the movie hasn't been shot yet. It's not good to think too much." Chen Mubai's mentality is quite flat.
Although he is talking about hitting the Berlin Film Festival awards, whether he can get the best film, it’s hard to say, it’s safe to win other awards, otherwise he has been blinded by such a long preparation time, it is still a huge investment.
The best film has nothing to do with the investment in the movie, but the best costumes and special effects awards are still linked to investment. Anyway, for these awards, Chen Mubai is bound to win.
"It is also said that if you pay too much attention to the results, it will interfere with your original thoughts." Tao Yaoyao agreed.
If you think too much in the process of shooting, instead of good things, you will fall into the trap, and many elements will be added in order to win prizes, such as political darkness and emotional entanglements.
This will destroy the overall smoothness of the film. Sometimes narrative is also an art work. Many directors just can't tell a story well, so they won't be paid by the audience.
It's not that they don't know how to speak, but that they want to express too much, and they have become chaotic regardless of priority.
A clear story line of beginning, passing, climax, and ending still needs to be clearly understood, at least not for people to be incomprehensible, otherwise not only will it not please the audience, nor will it be praised.
After all, the first element of the judges’ selection is to understand the narrative of the movie. Otherwise, he thinks he can’t understand it. Can he still vote for you?
The same is true for any award-winning film. The story is not complicated. What is complicated is the metaphor and core behind it. These are the core competitiveness.
For example, the movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", a simple movie, the male protagonist goes through bankruptcy, wives and breaks up, and struggles to make a living with his children, and then through his efforts to change the destiny of poverty, and finally enjoy the simple Life, this is a happiness.
The narrative content is very simple, the context of the story is not complicated, there is no trickery, and the core of the story is not difficult, it is healing, warm, and still winning.
This is because the concepts conveyed in it are understandable and well-recognized by everyone. The judges will naturally vote for this film.
If you don’t understand, you don’t understand the meaning of the story, you don’t know what the movie ultimately expresses, and there is no focus, then naturally you won’t vote.
Tao Yaoyao smiled sweetly and said: "Anyway, I think you are the best, you must do it."
"This time, Oscar was ashamed and lost home, and was directly mocked by the people around the world. The Cannes Film Festival really gave it a resounding slap."
After Chen Mubai got the Palme d’Or, public opinion did all stand on his side, and Oscar was insulted by all parties. Although he kept explaining, the effect was not great.
There is no way. It is headwind at this time. If Chen Mubai does not win the award, the situation will be reversed.
Netizens are also on the fence, and the advantage will fall to that side. The Cannes Film Festival has gained a good reputation this time. Many people are saying that they are rectifying Chen Mubai's name and they are very fair.
"The matter is not over yet, I see many people are saying that waiting for your next movie to be released. This time the incident has had a great impact on the reputation of the Oscar. If you can still win the award, you will continue to face the Oscar. At that time, Oscar will really be nailed to the pillar of shame, and this time the shady will become a black spot that will never be erased, and it is also the most historical topic."
The shady scene of Oscars made an excellent director so angry that he switched to other film festivals to win consecutive awards to prove himself. Doesn’t it mean that Oscars are not authoritative and unfair at all?
Once Chen Mubai sets a record in film history, his deeds will be remembered.
The Oscar that indirectly caused Chen Mubai to make this move is naturally a topic that cannot be escaped. It will be mentioned repeatedly for countless years to come. This matter will never be forgotten.
"The preparations for "Alien" are almost complete, and the crew has been set up. Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan did not spend much energy during this period."
Lu Fang chatted with Chen Mubai, and also talked about recent developments.
""Reaper is coming" was released on the 24th. It happened to be on Christmas Eve. Many couples would choose to spend this holiday together. So watching movies is a good way to play, and the biggest audience of horror movies will always be couples. This part of the group."
Lu Fang said: “Wait a week later, the trailer for "Iron Man" will be released. It will take a month to preheat and promote the movie. Several gold variety shows have already been booked, just waiting for your crew to go up.
Generally speaking, this kind of variety show resource is difficult to obtain, because countless stars hope to be able to appear on this kind of show, which has huge popularity, traffic and influence.
Lu Fang was able to make an appointment one month in advance, which shows how powerful and influential Mubai Entertainment is now!
In fact, regardless of all factors, the investment in the movie "Iron Man" alone is a huge hot spot. Any show on the production team is a kind of enthusiasm for the show. Everyone wants to invite them. mutual.
"Iron Man" cost billions of yuan, this is China's largest investment in the history of the work, aroused widespread attention at home and abroad.
In particular, Chen Mubai said that he wanted to create a superhero series. This is a work that naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Mubai Entertainment is also making every effort to prepare for the film, just to increase its impact, otherwise according to Chen Mubai’s previous works, and did not go to the show before the release, all of which is to maximize the benefits, so that the film can be maximized. Exposure, make the box office as high as possible.
After all, is a huge investment. Once the box office is not good, the loss will be extremely terrible. According to the investment of this movie, even if it gets 3 billion box office, it will still be at a loss. At least 3.3 billion will be paid back!
This kind of box office base is too big. Even if the movie gets 2 billion or 3 billion box office, it will not help, but it is still a loss. It is just a matter of losing more and less. Let alone Lu Fang, everyone is very concerned.
Investors want to make money instead of losing money when making movies. The greater the investment, the higher the box office that recovers the cost and the greater the risk.
The rest of China's entertainment companies are observing the market prospects of science fiction movies.
With Chen Mubai’s appeal, if you make a science fiction movie, you will lose money, let alone others.
Therefore, Chen Mubai is currently a guide. Everyone's eyes are on this movie. Regardless of the success or failure of the movie, the significance of it is very significant.
If the box office is high, it may spur the development of domestic sci-fi works, and the investment in movies will also increase, which will make the film and television industry usher in a more prosperous situation.
But if the box office is poor, nothing has changed. It is still a world of small costs. Other investors dare not gamble like Chen Mubai.
Starting from the individual, it is a self-financing work, but from the overall picture, this movie has a driving effect on the domestic film and television environment, which is the reason for the attention.
"Thanks to you, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "Reaper Is Coming" are very popular. The trailer of "Iron Man" is staggered by the first week. The box office of "Reaper Is Coming 2" will definitely be better than The first part is higher." Lu Fang smiled.
"Especially "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" has the highest voice. TV series are indeed more popular than movies, with more viewers, and more popular among audiences."
Many actors have transitioned from TV dramas to movies. On the one hand, it is because of the difficulty of interpretation. On the other hand, TV dramas are more popular. After all, they can be watched without money, with more audiences and longer broadcast time, which is suitable for topical dissemination and allows actors to watch. More enthusiastic, suitable for supporting actors.
After actors become popular, they will have more resources to enter the film field, which is also commonly known as transformation.
"The ending of the Fairy Sword pushed the show to a higher level. The ratings of Killing the Sword Saint and resurrecting Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru set a record. The success of this show made "The Legend of the Sword and the Fairy 3" a feast for many TV stations. If you want exclusive broadcasting rights, the price is very high."
The final ending of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very hot, the ratings of the three TV stations are not bad, plus the original production of the crew, the ratings will not be bad.
Originally, in the episode where Zhao Linger died, everyone saw that the painful Li Xiaoyao and the friends around him were almost dead, and they were all cursing, thinking it was the work of the abuser.
As a result, later Li Xiaoyao fought against the Juggernaut in order to resurrect Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru, and the dispute between the two of them sublimated the theme.
Because the previous plot was too cruel, the battle between Li Xiaoyao and the Juggernaut was highly anticipated. The moment Li Xiaoyao defeated the Juggernaut, the refreshing point reached its peak, and the biggest refreshing point of the play broke out, making the audience cheered.
For a long time, Li Xiaoyao's strength was not strong, and he was always pressed and beaten by others. Finally, at the last moment, he became the strongest person and defeated the Juggernaut. He was indirectly seeking justice for those dead friends. .
Many viewers believe that the tragedies of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are not unrelated to the Juggernaut’s indifference. It is his indulgence that caused these things to happen.
Juggernaut does not care about everything as he himself said. In fact, he indirectly intervenes in a lot of things. Everything he does is for his own way, which is also selfish.
Li Xiaoyao defeated the Juggernaut, causing the Juggernaut’s Dao Heart to be shattered, and then he became the "god" of this doomsday world. He resurrected Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru. It is this obsession and practice that led to the growth of evil thoughts and thus their growth.
Li Xiaoyao's strength has dropped drastically because of the relationship between the two resurrected. He has been unable to deal with the desire of sentient beings and the emotions of the dark side, so he can only be sealed.
Any seal may be broken again, Li Xiaoyao can only send it back to the past, and let his master solve this scourge!
The plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" laid the groundwork for this, and it was clearly stated in the plot that the timeline of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is in front of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", and it is the story of Master Li Xiaoyao!
Because Li Xiaoyao and other characters have been very successful, everyone has also had a strong curiosity about this highly anticipated Shigong, and because of the original team, Shigong Jingtian is also a role played by Li Xiaoyao, and everyone is even more looking forward to it.
Although is not a sequel, it is still related after all. Everyone wants to know how strong this so-called "evil thought" is. It will make Li Xiaoyao feel helpless and can only send him back to the world where immortals and gods were before for others to solve.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is already under filming, and it will be completed in a few months. The protagonists are very excited, because the first drama is on fire. This drama is also highly anticipated. They have gained a large number of fans. He is a new star in the field of TV dramas nowadays, very famous!
Xianjian has become popular with several leading actors at one time. This is an extremely rare existence. After all, it is the success of character creation. Each character has its own characteristics and makes people love it.
The two old drama bones who played the **** of worship and Jiu Jianxian once again became popular, and their careers were in the second spring.
The success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" made the industry slumped again. They thought that the starring actors of this show were pure newcomers and couldn't make it. The result was a huge explosion. Not only the male and female lead stars, but even the supporting roles became popular. A few, works of that kind of phenomenon!
This allows everyone to see the market for Xianxia dramas. Many people are actively acquiring Xianxia scripts. They want to shoot this type of work and grab a wave of enthusiasm!
Even Mubai Entertainment is shooting the "Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3" with fanfare. This is a trend, how could other companies let it go.
Lu Fang has great confidence in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "The God of Death is Coming".
Both dramas have the quality and reputation of their predecessors, and have an inherent viewing group, so the data will not be bad.
In addition, Chen Mubai has been searching hotly during this time, and the Oscar incident occurred. After he got the Palme d'Or in Cannes, there was a storm around the world.
The previous work "Chainsaw 2" was sanctioned by American capital, so the overall box office data was slightly inferior to the first one. Because the box office in North America is much worse, the box office of China is much higher than the first one, but the RMB and the The exchange rate of the US dollar is quite different, so the overall box office is still a bit worse.
This time, Chen Mubai just won the grand prize, and the global popularity is extremely high. Many companies have long been negotiating the release of this film. This is Chen Mubai’s first work after winning the Cannes Palme d’Or, which naturally attracts attention.
"When will "Alien" start?" Chen Mubai asked.
Lu Fang said: "Ji Yuxuan's advanced team, Chen Yunteng will go to the crew to meet after the promotion and road show of "Death Is Coming". The filming of this drama will start in mid-December, and a press conference will be held at that time. It’s set. This is the last publicity we did before the release of "Reaper Here 2"."
The establishment of "Alien" will definitely attract a lot of attention. With this wave of traffic, the movie conference will be very popular. At that time, there will be an advertisement for "Reaper 2", and the effect is certainly not bad.
Mubai Entertainment is aggressively shooting sci-fi movies, which signifies Chen Mubai’s ambition and his optimism for this type of movie. It will definitely arouse heated discussions in the industry. How confident he is, otherwise it will not be in a movie that has not yet been released. Under the circumstances, prepare these works one after another.
Although "Resident Evil" is very good at the box office, the investment in this movie is not that high. The science fiction elements and special effects scenes in it are actually not that many.
And the starring of this drama is Tao Yaoyao, who is a popular star in itself. The success of this movie is not necessarily due to the subject matter and quality of the work, but also has a lot to do with people.
"Are all the models ready?" Chen Mubai was a little surprised, this speed is quite fast.
Lu Fang nodded: "It's done."
"Since they got the script, Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan have been very excited. The two of them had to complete the model first. The final renderings are based on your drawings. The image is great!"
While speaking, Lu Fang turned on the computer and showed him the rendered renderings of alien shapes, as well as the finished models.
This model is made with a real-life ratio of one to one. The size is about 1.7 meters. The appearance is cold and weird, and it looks scary.
When the model was made, the appearance of the alien surprised the two of them. Lu Fang was also amazed when he saw the finished product. It is indeed a imaginative monster, and its own characteristics are very powerful. This monster shoots The finished movie will definitely make people look forward to it.
The audience likes the unknown, and this monster is the unknown. When the trailer is broadcast, Lu Fang believes that it will definitely arouse the response of the blockbuster.
"It did a pretty good job." Chen Mubai exclaimed: "It's not wasted that they spent so much thought."
"Yes, they can't wait to start the computer right away. The preparatory work is almost complete, and it will officially begin after the release of Ji Yuxuan's movie."
Lu Fang is also quite confident in "Alien". Chen Mubai's script, coupled with science fiction and monster themes, sets an unknown creature, its characteristics and appearance are unique, and it has all the elements that people expect.
In all fairness, if he saw similar works, he could not help but walk into the cinema to have a look. After all, human nature is to be curious about the unknown.
"You give me the list of programs that I need to be on then." Chen Mubai said.
Anyway, you have to prepare in advance and figure out the time, otherwise it will be troublesome if you forget it at the time.
At the "Alien" press conference, the project of this movie was very abrupt and caught everyone off guard.
It's just the name, and the dark but weird poster. Everyone doesn't know what kind of movie it is.
But based on the script written by Chen Mubai, it was not long before he got the Palme d’Or. Everyone thought that this was a new script he created after winning the award, but it was a lot of attention.
"So, this is also a science fiction movie?"
At the press conference, reporters asked Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan.
The two attended together, and they were determined to be the director of the play, and they jointly produced it.
Now, they are not considered as unfamiliar new directors. Both "Chainsaw Cry" and "Reaper Is Coming" they are responsible for are both well-known and good at the box office. They are still series of movies, which makes them both famous. A lot.
So, their combination is a bit surprising.
"To be precise, this is a science fiction + monster movie, and there are elements of horror. It is not completely against a pure monster movie." Chen Yunteng replied.
The reporter suddenly said: "That is similar to "Resident Evil"?"
is also monster + science fiction, and horror elements. The similarity of the two shows is justified.
Chen Yunteng nodded and said, "Yes, but the background of this play is in the interstellar."
"There are more and more humans on the earth, and the resources are not enough, so the country began to explore the planets and resources suitable for human survival in the universe. Alien is the name of the monster and the original author of the developed planet, and then a series of stories happened with it. ."
"Aliens chant."
Ji Yuxuan smiled and explained: “It’s not an alien, because the two civilizations are different. Aliens can communicate. Essentially, they are one animal with humans, while aliens are another, similar to beasts. They are clever, fast, powerful, and their blood and saliva are corrosive. They are very powerful creatures."
"In the movie, they also use human bodies to feed their eggs, to humans, they are like death, hunters."
"Such a strong creature, are ordinary people their opponent?"
Ji Yuxuan’s speech made the audience noisy.
Someone asked: "Is there superhuman beings to deal with them? Is this movie the superhero series that Chen Mubai mentioned earlier?"
Chen Mubai said before that he wanted to shoot a superhero series, and he also said that he was facing the unknown civilizations in the universe. This movie happened to show the story of the journey of the universe. The monsters are so powerful that they are far from being matched by normal people. It makes sense to be a superhero.
"No." The two denied: "This is a separate monster movie. If the response is good, it may become a series of movies. This is the first and the beginning."
"So, I hope everyone can pay more attention to this movie. We will make it very carefully, with sufficient budget, and we will definitely do our best."
They did not directly say how many filming plans there are, but said that it depends on the situation. In this case, no matter how the results are, the pressure of public opinion is not so great. If you say big things before the filming, then the results are not satisfactory, then it is true. It will be a joke.
They are not Chen Mubai, they don’t have that kind of courage, and they don’t have such a strong fan cohesion. This is the phenomenon.
No one dares to be as confident as Chen Mubai, who dares to set ambitious goals and tell others before shooting, because once the grades are not good, it will definitely become a slot, which makes people feel very conceited.
Chen Mubai can do it, it doesn't mean that others can do it.
Just like the "Titanic" he was going to shoot, he directly announced that he would hit the Berlin Film Festival. No one would dare to say such big words!
"After your explanation, I am actually looking forward to this movie."
"me too."
Many people showed a curious look. At present, Mubai Entertainment is in the limelight. The reporters will naturally give face and will not go against the wind.
“It’s not easy for us to make this movie. The preliminary preparations took several months. Since we got the script, we have been preparing for this movie. It’s an excellent script. This is our first time. Try a big production. The previous "Reaper is Coming" and "Saw Cry" were made at a small cost. If there are audiences who like our work, I hope they can give us some support."
"The style will also be biased towards the style of these two movies, but it combines other elements. Those who like this type of work will definitely give you a surprise!"
Both "Chain Saw" and "Reaper Is Coming" are very successful horror and **** films, so if you use these two films for publicity, you will still attract a group of audiences who like these two films.
The style of "Alien" itself is indeed close to this style. It is not a false propaganda. The whole film is shown in a spaceship. In fact, it is an alternative room fear, which will raise the level of fear and horror of the movie to a higher level.
Just like when you know that there are ghosts outside, you may not be very scared, but you know the ghosts are around you, but you don’t know where they are. This will maximize your fear.
The "Alien" conference was very successful. This movie attracted huge attention. After all, it is another work of Mubai Entertainment in a different genre, and it was the time when "Death is Coming 2", which indirectly contributed to this movie. Publicity.
Also exposed was the alien model. This well-made model attracted a lot of discussion. Everyone felt that it fits the name of the movie. It looks weird and, coupled with its characteristics, it really makes people feel scared.
The filming of "Alien" has officially started, and Ji Yuxuan's advanced group filming, by the way, let everyone get familiar with the plot and characters. Chen Yunteng will pass when he has time. After all, "Chain Saw 2" has not been released yet, he needs to contribute to this movie. On the platform, after the movie is released, there are still a few roadshows to run, which is only half a month away.
