Chapter 116 play big
Fang Bo smiled and said, "I don't even ask about the treatment. I'll agree so quickly. I'll not go back on my word then."
Of course, this is just a joke, and he couldn't really treat the two of them unfairly.
Besides, no matter how much the pay for Huang Jingshan and Li Hao increased, it was only a few million. His new movie was expected to be a big production, so he would not even save millions of pay.
Huang Jingshan asked: "Director Fang, let me reveal it first. What kind of movie is it? Is it a comedy?"
Fang Bo deliberately kept it a secret and replied with a smile: "Yes, not."
"That's it with comedy elements." Li Hao thought for a while, and then asked, "Is it a drama?"
Fang Bo shook his head and saw that the two of them couldn't guess it, so he said, "It's a science fiction movie."
“Science fiction?!”
Huang Jingshan and Li Hao looked at each other, and their eyes were a little surprised.
After filming two comedy films, why did Director Fang turn to film science fiction films all at once?
Huang Jingshan asked: "Director Fang, science fiction films are very expensive. Have you figured it out?"
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Fang Bo, but there is a big difference between comedy and science fiction. He is afraid that Fang Bo will act blindly and will be bad if he falls into trouble.
After all, he was in his teens, so he felt that he should remind him.
Fang Bo understood his thoughts and smiled and said, "Of course I've thought about it. In fact, I'm practicing in the filming of "A Good Show" and preparing for the new movie to shoot science fiction themes."
Compared with ordinary comedy films, the special effects and set work of "A Good Show" is more complicated, which is part of the reason why Fang Bo chose to use it as his second movie, and is actually accumulating experience in shooting science fiction films.
Although science fiction films will definitely be more complicated when filming, they will never be in a hurry when preparing and shooting.
"Oh, that's it." Huang Jingshan thought about it carefully and thought it was the reason.
Although "A Good Show" is a comedy film, the special effects and sets are similar. With such experience, even if you have never made a science fiction film, it will be much easier to get started.
It seems that Director Fang has indeed made plans.
The two have been together for several months after filming. Huang Jingshan understood that Fang Bo was not the kind of person who acted recklessly. He just gave a reminder just now out of friendship.
Since he knew that Fang Bo was prepared, he stopped talking and laughed: "Director Fang, you have been preparing for so long, this new movie must be not simple, right?"
Li Hao didn't speak, but was also very curious.
"Jane is not simple, but the investment scale is indeed much larger than my first two movies. If everything goes well, the production cost alone will be about 200 million."
Fang Bo roughly revealed some news to the two.
It is precisely because of its large scale that he is extra cautious and has deliberately used "A Good Show" as a transition.
Hiss, 200 million?!
Then this is indeed a big production.
Huang Jingshan asked: "It costs so much money to produce. What is this movie talking about?"
"Now there is only a script, and the rest has not been decided. I haven't even finished a single horoscope yet. I'll tell you in detail when preparing."
Fang Bo didn't say much. After all, he just had scripts but no investment. If he said too much, he would be a cake.
Li Hao said excitedly: "Director Fang, I want to ask, what role will Teacher Huang and I be in the movie?"
This can be talked about. Fang Bo said: "Like ", Teacher Huang is still the male lead, and he is an astronaut. Li Hao, you are a scientific genius, but you have less scenes and only have a few minutes to appear."
"Oh." Li Hao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he quickly figured it out again.
If a movie has the protagonist, there will be supporting roles. If a small character is the small character, it is great to be able to show your face in it. Besides, it sounds pretty good to play a science genius yourself.
Fang Bo reached out and patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much, there will be a chance to cooperate in the future."
"Yes." Li Hao nodded.
Huang Jingshan stroked his chin and said, "Astronaut, I have never played such a role yet, I can't wait."
"Hahaha." Fang Bo smiled, "It's almost time. I'm going to start preparing for a new movie for a few days."
"Then wait for good news from Director Fang." Huang Jingshan said expectantly.
...
After a meal, the three of them had their own things to do tomorrow. Fang Bo said goodbye to Huang Jingshan and Li Hao and returned to the hotel room.
After washing up, he took out his laptop and opened a document on the desktop, which contained the script of the new movie.
There are four big words "Mars Rescue" on the homepage of the document, and this is the name of the movie.
This movie was adapted by Fang Bo from the original sci-fi film "Marl Rescue".
It is said that it is an adaptation, obviously it is not just a simple change of the name, but in fact, the content of the movie has also been deleted and modified a lot.
In the context of the characters and story, the hero's identity became a Chinese astronaut, and he also participated in China's manned fireflight plan.
This is the change made by Fang Bo in combination with the real environment of the parallel world.
Culture is related to many factors such as economy and technology. In this time and space, there is no reason why Chinese films can lead the world.
Because both the economy and technology are very developed, and there are no shortcomings in special effects production technology, the number of theaters, audience size, etc., the development of the Chinese film industry has made rapid progress.
In addition, the story is set in the near future, so there is no sense of incongruity in this background.
Then there are the plot changes.
"Martian Rescue" tells the story of the hero who performed a Mars landing mission, but encountered an accident and was forced to stay alone on Mars, which was barren. Finally, with the advice of scientists and the rescue of his teammates, he was able to return to the Blue Star.
In the story, the director of the American Space Administration wanted to cover up the matter at the beginning. It was the other people and the male lead teammates who took the risk of saving the male lead without regard for personal interests and regardless of life and death.
This is obviously a common plot in Hollywood movies. If you take it like this, you will be unacceptable to the local environment.
So after Fang Bo deleted and modified it, the story changed to another look.
The hero is trapped on Mars and has no idea of his life or death. Some people in the space agency think that he is likely to be dead and there is no need to worry about it. However, the director believes that life is at stake. He must see people and corpses, and he is determined to find him regardless of the price.
In this way, with the efforts of the Space Administration, the male protagonist was finally found through satellites, and then the two sides established contact. The entire China and the entire world contributed to the rescue plan, and finally brought the male protagonist back to Blue Star safely, and the story ended successfully.
To shoot a story where such a major event occurred in Mars and space, just thinking about it, the cost is definitely not low.
In fact, the production cost of "Martian Rescue" is just over 100 million US dollars, but considering that the male lead Matt Damon's salary alone is about 20 million US dollars, other actors are not cheap either.
In this way, "Mars Rescue" will save a lot of money in terms of pay, and there are other differences between the two worlds, such as special effects, setting, artificial, etc. In total, 200 million should be about the same.
After reading the script again, Fang Bo closed the laptop, turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed.
Lying on the bed, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
200 million, it’s just a production cost.
Chapter completed!
