"The new film "Earth Cannon" of Tianxia Film and Television has been approved.

Adapted from the eponymous issue of the September issue of "Science Fiction World", the filmmaker is determined to create a science fiction movie that belongs to the Chinese people.

According to relevant sources, the budget could reach an unprecedented $70 million!"

"The five-year plan once again breaks through itself and challenges the epic blockbusters of the future!

The five-year plan of China Film and Tianxia Film and Television has completed three works: "No Thieves in the World", "October Siege" and "Hero", with box offices of 140 million, 170 million, and 263 million respectively.

"Kung Fu", which will be released at the end of the year, is the fourth part, with a star in charge, and the filmmaker also shouted the slogan of 'striving for 200 million'.

But the fifth finale has not been announced for a long time. Not long ago, the reporter finally got the news that the filmmaker will challenge the sci-fi masterpiece that has never been tried before.

With a budget of 80 million US dollars and cooperation with Hollywood, the Chinese side has confirmed that Zhang Manyu and Andy will star. ”

"The $50 million "Super Body" has not yet been unveiled, and the "Earth Cannon" with a budget of $60 million has arrived!

This time, Tianxia Film and Television cooperates with Hollywood, Japan and South Korea to face the global market, and the preliminary candidates are Brad Pitt and Takuya Kimura!"

"Why Earth Cannon?

Is the $70 million investment insane? Is it pioneering or arrogant, we asked the well-known film critic Balabala ......"

Somehow the news got out.

Plausible, the more outrageous it spreads, and it spreads at a breakneck pace.

The main was frightened.

Sixty, seven, eighty million dollars, four, five, six hundred and sixty million yuan!

The largest investment previously released by data was "Hero", $30 million, and now it has directly doubled.

The second is the subject matter.

Many people can't figure it out, why make science fiction movies?

The Internet is more lively, especially the major sci-fi BBS and chat rooms, the same as the New Year.

"Science fiction fans rush to tell each other, and the whole world celebrates!"

"I'm willing to call out sincerely, Dad Xu!"

"Finally, a big guy pays attention to science fiction films, it's not easy for us to live, cry!"

There are also those who are worried about failure, and some question why they chose "Earth Cannon", but no matter which side they stand on, they all reach a consensus:

The real big guy never talks about it.

Just do what you say!

The front foot said that it was going to build a film industry, and this was put into action.

............

The melon-eating masses and the media are very hilarious, and the industry is completely crazy.

The most directly related is the actors. Secondly the director, as well as various behind-the-scenes.

Feng Pants was the first to call, and immediately after, Xu Fei fell into a state of being chased and killed. Everyone doesn't know the exact news, but it's more exciting.

Liang Jiahui: "Have time to drink tea together?" I'll go to the capital, stop by!"

Andy: "Have a light meal, Mr. Xu." ”

Zhang Manyu: "I'll think about singing again." ”

Zhou Xun: "Dad!"

International Chapter: "Mr. Xu!"

Tsui Hark: "I'm quite interested, I'm in the window period." ”

Zhang Guoshi: "Let's talk about it another day, I don't know much about science fiction films, but I can do my best." ”

Jiang Wen: "Something to talk about!"

Ge You: "May it be as thin as possible." ”

Gong Li: "You cow?" There is a suitable role for me to leave one, not too small, and the volunteer labor is on call. ”

Xu Fei measured the proportion? Or are you older and often in contact with someone who can understand yourself? Like Zhang Guoshi, a few people are very moved.

In the end, even Li Yu called? Expressed interest.

This "Hulk" was released in June and hit the streets, and Hollywood did not dare to ask him to make a big production for the time being.

Xu Fei think about it? Said it would be considered? If I don't look for you, there are other tasks for you.

Hey, of course it's "Broken Arm Mountain"!

Cost $14 million? Box office 170 million? Win three Oscars? Including a Best Director award.

And compared to the enthusiasm of these people? The owners are very calm.

Too risky? Don't follow, don't follow.

............

Given the strong rumors? Xu Fei and Wu Mengchen simply announced.

This morning, it was late autumn in the capital.

In Mr. Zhang's five-star hotel, a press conference is about to be held. This is the first time that the two major film leaders of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises attended together.

In the lounge, the white fat old Wu is crooked on the sofa? I'm reading a press release.

Looking, watching? Suddenly pointed to a line: "This is wrong, right?"

"Nope. ”

"We said okay? How can you change that?"

"Let you take less responsibility? My own business doesn't matter, if you are transferred, I have to fight with Lao Han? Difficulty. ”

"You...... Are you sure you have enough money, and you won't break your bones if you lose money?"

"Uh......"

Xu Fei waved off the staff and said in a low voice: "I'll be honest with you, when the big leader asks me in the small auditorium, I cry poor."

This kind of production cost is called an A-grade film in Hollywood. Every big factory, as long as the finances are not too bad, have the ability to withstand the failure of a single antibody An A-grade film.

We feel terrifying, hundreds of millions of yuan, it's normal to throw it in a special effects blockbuster.

I'm not saying that the world can be compared to Hollywood, but at this level of mentality and height, don't be too petty. What's more, I have other industrial buffers, and it's no problem to lose them all. ”

Okay.

Lao Wu understood this time.

The other party has the ability to bear it, but he has to cry poor on the surface, in order to avoid trouble. And for himself, he really thinks about himself.

A short time later, the press conference began.

Wu Mengchen said first: "There have been many rumors recently, and today I would like to announce that the fifth film of China Film and Tianxia Film and Television's five-year film plan is "Earth Cannon".

However, due to the long production cycle, I will not have the opportunity to meet the audience next year, and it will be initially postponed to 05 years, I hope you understand......"

As soon as the words fell, the bottom rushed to ask:

"How much does this film cost?"

"Is it really 70 million?"

"Almost......"

Lao Wu glanced at Xu Fei, and Xu Fei took over the conversation: "To be exact, it's 80 million-100 million US dollars." Among them, 60% of the cactus is produced, 15% of the film and sunshine are produced, and I am responsible for the rest. ”

Buzz!

greatly exceeded expectations, I thought that 70 million would be enough to leap forward, and there will definitely be fewer on-site announcements.

I didn't expect it to be so much!

"Although I work with Hollywood, I can guarantee that most of the team is Chinese-speaking. For the special effects part, we will ask the best team in Hollywood, even the cinematography, because we lack experience......"

"The director and actors have not yet been chosen, and they will be on the agenda soon. ”

"The director, of course, is our own people, otherwise it would be meaningless. ”

"...... on the part of the government"

Xu Fei thought about the conversation with the bigwigs, and said briefly: ""Earth Cannon" will not become a political task, and I will try my best to avoid it becoming a political task.

It's an attempt to improve the film industry, but the relevant departments are still very supportive, and I think the filming will go a lot smoother. ”

Finally, a journalist asked:

"Mr. Xu, aren't you afraid of making a splash when you do such a big project? Or why do you want to make a science fiction film?"

"It's a cliché to fight or not, if you're always afraid of failure, where will you succeed?

As for why you make a sci-fi film......"

Xu Fei organized the language and said: "At the beginning of the planning, I chatted with Wu Dong and talked about a sentence called 'Pioneers must break through themselves'.

We've made four films before, and they've all been successful.

The form is very new, and the kernel is not necessarily new, but the packaging is good, and the audience likes it very much.

We can completely follow the path and make another similar commercial blockbuster to erect a monument of Chinese cinema for ourselves.

When the Five-Year Plan was first launched, there was a phrase that said, 'Strive to build a film industry.'

Are there any of the previous ones? Yes, such as the civil and military drama mode of "The Siege of October", the combination of small people and historical background. For example, the extreme big scene and publicity strategy of "Hero".

But their power is not enough, you know?

Only real special effects blockbusters, especially science fiction films, can best reflect what the film industry is.

We can find a reason, not now, take your time.

OK, wait until ten or twenty years later, maybe we can shoot and dare to shoot.

The idea is fine. But I can shoot now, so why should I wait? As you said earlier, I'm afraid of losing money? I'll wait for the market to come up and shoot again?"

Xu Fei shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not interesting to do this." ”

"What's more, 'Earth Cannon' is about the future.

Everyone has filmed enough of the past, enough of the present, and the audience has seen enough of the past and present.

We need a film about the future so badly. ”

(Wood has a soul today!)
