Chapter 119: The water in sci-fi movies is very deep, you can't grasp it
On May 17, after half a month, the movie that ranked first in the box office list this month had obvious advantages. The box office champion of May Day was already in his pocket, so the competition in the schedule gradually subsided.
At this time, Huanyu Film and Television announced a news that attracted people's attention.
After half a year of starting the filming, "The Battle Against Time" was completed.
The cast of this movie includes top traffic Gu Tao and first-line actress Yan Yuxuan. As soon as the news came out, the related topics immediately became hot searches.
"The film was finally finished, when will it be released?"
"The special effects of this kind of science fiction film have been made for a year or two, and some have been waiting."
"It took almost half a year to shoot, so I have to wait for another year after I release it."
"Will anyone really look forward to the movie starring Gu Tao? I really can't praise his acting skills. At most, it's better than facial paralysis."
"If these young guys continue to harm you, will the Chinese entertainment industry still have a future?"
"We Taotao worked so hard, why should you criticize him!!!"
"Looking forward to release!"
Gu Tao and Yan Yuxuan are both artists with their own traffic, especially Gu Tao, who are surrounded by countless controversies.
The trend of traffic stars in the entertainment industry has been around for a year or two. They were still very popular at the beginning. After all, the personality of each traffic star is well packaged. If you do a little marketing, you can easily attract a large number of fans.
But the created personality may be able to maintain it in a short period of time, and after a long time, it will eventually reveal its strength.
These people have poor acting skills and often make scandals like playing big names and having chaotic private lives. However, their salary is still increasing day by day. Last year, Gu Tao was rumored that a movie was 60 million, but this year, paparazzi revealed that a crew offered him 80 million.
Hey, the performance is worse than the other, and the pay is higher than the other. Where can you make sense of this?
Many passers-by have long been bored by this, but the fans of traffic stars are proficient in controlling comments and making data, so no matter how riddled, they are still full of flowers on the surface.
The vanity of traffic stars is like a soap bubble. No matter how colorful it is, it will break when it is touched. I just don’t know when the person who reaches out to poke through this soap bubble will appear.
A few more days have passed, and Huarui Film and Television also announced the official launch of "Mars Rescue" on May 25.
Compared with "Battle of Time", "Salvation of Mars" is much less popular, but fortunately, the release period of "A Good Show" has arrived.
One month after its release, the movie won a total of 585.7 million yuan in box office, a little bit away from 600 million yuan, which is a slight pity.
But there is nothing we can do. After the May Day craze passed, as the number of viewers decreased, the overall film market showed signs of fatigue.
Half a month after the release period, the single-day box office of "A Good Show" dropped very quickly. Although it was only more than 10 million, it was still not easy to get enough.
Therefore, it can only be released at the expiration date, so I chose to accept this regret.
Of course, there are many viewers in the movie who can earn so many box offices. If you look at the repeated movies, at least millions of people have watched this movie.
As soon as "A Good Show" was released, director Fang Bo was preparing for a new movie, which aroused the curiosity of many people.
"Well? Why is it a science fiction film? Fang Bo has transformed?"
"I remember "A Good Show" only invested tens of millions, but this time I mentioned more than 200 million yuan at once?!"
"If you don't shoot a good comedy movie, you have to go and shoot a science fiction movie. Director Fang, you are so arrogant."
"Since "Alien Catastrophe" broke the box office record, it seems that a director wants to develop into the field of science fiction, but this bowl of rice is really not something that everyone can eat. When Fang Bo hits Nan Wall, he will know that he regrets it."
"Director Fang, stop. The water in science fiction movies is very deep, you can't grasp it."
"I'm quite optimistic about "Mars Rescue". At least the actor Huang Jingshan's acting skills are guaranteed."
"This is Huang Jingshan's first time starring in a science fiction movie, can it work?"
"Among young directors, Fang Bo is still very good, and you can look forward to science fiction movies for a little bit."
“…”
It is the first time I have started making a science fiction film at a young age, and "Martian Rescue" is indeed not favored by many people.
However, Fang Bo still has a stable mentality.
"Night Shop" and "A Good Show" are also not favored. With previous experiences, his mind has been very firmly trained.
On the morning of May 27, a number of experts and scholars gathered in an office of Huarui Film and Television.
Among them are experts in aerospace, botanists, physicists, etc., all of them are professionals in the industry.
During the next preparation and shooting process, they will serve as scientific consultants for "Salvation of Mars" to provide scientific and technological theoretical support for the film.
After everyone arrived, Fang Bo stood up and said, "Professor Li, Professor Wang... You are all experts in your respective fields, so I would like to ask you more about the scientific theory of this movie!"
"Director Fang is polite."
"It's easy to say."
"We must do our best."
Although Fang Bo's own investment of 50 million has not yet been paid due to the fact that the box office share of "A Good Show" has not been reached, the 80 million invested by Huarui Film and Television has been allocated to a dedicated account.
With enough funds, Fang Bo let go of his hands and feet during the preparation process. In order to reduce theoretical loopholes, he invited many experts to provide generous consulting fees.
The rewards are good, and it is not really necessary to do any scientific research. It is just a consultant for a movie. It is still very easy for them to do it, so these big names in the industry have all taken the title of consultant.
A science fiction film can have many experts as theoretical support. Not to mention anything else, just this list of consultants is a small promotional point, which can also increase the audience's conviction with the movie and will not be too picky about the plots in the movie.
"There is a script in front of you. You can read it first. If you find loopholes, we will discuss how to adjust..."
Such a meeting was held many times in the next few days. With the help of many professionals, obvious loopholes in the script were found, and after discussing with them, Fang Bo made corresponding corrections.
But it is a science fiction film after all, and it is impossible for all the content to be in line with reality. For the sake of storyline, some plots will be made.
If it is really unfictional, it is not called a science fiction film, but Fang Bo tries to make it look more reasonable and there will be no conspicuous flaws at a glance.
It's already June that I've solved the script problem.
Like "Night Store", Fang Bo entrusted the foreign release of "A Good Show" to Huarui Film and Television, and Huarui contacted the foreign publisher on his behalf, and then charged a certain proportion of agency fees after completing the distribution.
After many discussions, Huarui won enough benefits from the publisher, and the issue of "A Good Show" overseas distribution gradually put it on the agenda.
But Fang Bo doesn't have to worry too much about these things. He is busy with the preparations for "Mars Rescue" and just wait for the money to be collected.
Chapter completed!
