Chapter 441: Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

"Haha, Han Beibei, you are really my little lucky star." Han Fei kissed the little girl hard on her forehead.

The little girl was so dumbfounded that she immediately wiped the saliva from her forehead in disgust and verbally condemned Han Fei.

Of course, Han Fei didn't care about this. He held the photo with his mouth cracked. In the photo, Han Beibei was having a "cordial and friendly" exchange with a gorilla across the guardrail.

Yes, Han Fei was thinking of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". He vaguely remembered that when he first watched the original version of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", he was shocked by the lifelike group of orangutans. At that time, he even suspected that those gorillas were all circuses.

It was trained, but I only found out after reading some subsequent reports.

In fact, all the gorillas on the screen are played by real people, but they are performed with a motion capture system, and then restored to the appearance of the orangutan by post-production CG animation, so that they have such a realistic effect.

The special effects team for the original "War for the Planet of the Apes" was the same special effects team for "Avatar."

With inspiration, Han Fei began to write a script. Compared with "The Wandering Earth", the script of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is relatively simpler. There are not so many details of the worldview to pave the way. He only needs to create a human being and

A planet where mutant apes coexist is enough.

On the first day of work after the new year, Han Fei was still waiting for employees to congratulate him in the office, and then happily took the red envelope and returned to work.

Originally this was a reserved project of "Bird Films", but because Han Fei was busy with "The Wandering Earth" before, this reserved project has not been held for two years, and it has been held again this time.

It is still very motivating for the company's employees.

Jiang Qinghou raised his hands to Han Fei with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations on getting rich. Here's the red envelope."

Han Fei threw out a red envelope angrily and scolded with a smile: "Why are you here to join in the fun? The year-end bonus is enough for you to buy a house."

"Oh, it's a thousand yuan. I have pocket money this month. Hey, you are a well-fed man and don't know how hungry a man is. When you get married and the financial power is transferred, you will know how difficult it is for men." Jiang Qinghou didn't show any concern at all.

He thought he was satisfied and was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by Han Fei.

"I'll call everyone to the office later. I've finalized the framework of the new script."

"What?" Jiang Qinghou became excited when he heard it: "Really? Where is it? Show me first."

Han Fei waved his hand angrily: "Go away, we are printing. Hurry out. There are people waiting behind to receive red envelopes."

At ten o'clock, everyone in the conference room was waiting anxiously. People are very strange when it comes to filming "The Wandering Earth". When they were filming "The Wandering Earth", they wished they could finish the film and retire immediately, but they really thought Han Fei was free.

During the holidays, I felt like something was wrong all over my body when I got back, and I always wanted to come back and shoot a movie.

I heard from Jiang Qinghou that Han Fei had already constructed the outline of the script for the new film. Everyone was very curious. After all, the previous "Wandering Earth" was so shocking. It was the first time to see such a huge world view. At that time, everyone

The hairs on my hair stood on end, and that feeling is still unforgettable.

The door of the conference room was pushed open. Han Fei held a stack of documents in his hand and threw it on the table. Then the guys started grabbing it one by one.

I read almost word for word. After a quarter of an hour, everyone put down the documents in their hands, with some disappointment on their faces. How should I put it? It’s not that the script is not creative. The main thing is that the script does not have such a grand world view.

, it always feels a little bit meaningless.

Han Fei smiled secretly in his heart: "Stop stretching your arms and tell me. What are your opinions?"

Jiang Qinghou was the first to speak: "The creativity of this script is very special, but to be honest, there is still a gap between the world view of [The Wandering Earth]. I am afraid that the audience's expectations are too high and they will be resistant to this film."

Wen Qi also said: "Yes, [The Wandering Earth] has billions of special effects. I'm afraid it will be difficult for this film to meet the audience's expectations."

"..." Everyone also expressed their worries. Indeed, "The Wandering Earth" has almost redefined the pattern of science fiction movies. In the face of such a grand scene, this "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" seems

It cannot reach that height in any aspect.

"Have you finished talking?" Han Fei glanced at everyone, and the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Han Fei shook his head and said: "We can't stay stuck in the state of [Wandering Earth]. We have to jump out and rebuild this world. And who told you that this movie is easy to make?"

"You can read the script. The protagonist of this film is an orangutan. It is not easy at all to bring these orangutans to life on the big screen. I estimate that the production cost of this film will be around 500 million."

When they heard the budget of 500 million, everyone became uneasy. Yes, the production cost of "The Wandering Earth" was indeed 1 billion, but this is already the peak of the production cost of Chinese-language films. It is impossible for every movie to reach 500 million.

It's already a pretty high budget.

"Is the 500 million you are talking about RMB or US dollars?"

Han Fei scolded Jiang Qinghou directly: "Get out."

"Haha~~~"

Amidst laughter, everyone began to discuss the script. Han Fei reminded: "This drama has two highlights, one is the CG animation special effects, and the other is the emotion between orangutans and humans. What we are going to tell is not a confrontation between humans."

Monster stories delve deeper into the complexity of human nature, including gorillas.”

"Can we design these gorillas according to human templates? Just like humans have good and bad qualities, the same goes for gorillas?" a screenwriter asked.

"Well, that's good. Genetically speaking, doesn't it say that the genes of humans and gorillas are very similar? If gorillas have intelligence, they might also have the same desires as humans?"

As the discussion deepened, people became more and more interested in this script. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is actually a type of soft science fiction. It is different from hard-core science fiction like "The Wandering Earth". Its real attraction lies in its focus on

Thoughts on human nature.

Such in-depth scripts are actually the favorites of literary and artistic young people. To put it bluntly, if Han Fei had not been taking the lead in making commercial films, these artistic young people would probably still be squatting in that rental house, writing various literary and artistic film scripts and fantasy

When will I be able to gain the favor of investors one day?

The creation of the script went relatively smoothly, and it took about a month to complete it. Han Fei felt pretty good and directly applied for script review. As a result, within three days, he was told that the script would not pass.
Chapter completed!
