Chapter 145: Project Initiation!
Meng Xiaobai looked at him with a smile, in fact, this is not only Wu Binghui's wish, but also a small expectation of his, after all, Meng Xiaobai also wants to see that one day, a magnificent and magnificent fantasy world will appear on the movie screen, so that the world can identify with Chinese culture!
"Then Mr. Meng, this project is approved!" Wu Binghui confirmed again, "I can finally let go of my hands and feet!"
Meng Xiaobai's trip was supposed to be to prepare for their smartphone camera function in the future, who knew that there would be an episode in the middle, but for him, this episode was quite interesting.
With Meng Xiaobai's support, the "Covering the Sky" series of movies was immediately established, and some news came out on the Internet.
Entertainment News: "The "Covering the Sky" film project was launched, led by Deep Space Film and Television, or more than 10 billion yuan?"
This is a media report, which writes that Deep Space Film and Television wants to create an epic fantasy movie world!
As soon as the news came out, netizens immediately boiled, for no other reason, this IP is very well-known, and the number of tens of billions is also very eye-catching.
Under the news, there are many netizens who express their expectations.
A tree at the end of the village: "Wu'er Wang Teng has the capital of the emperor!"
As soon as I thought about it, I became a Buddha: "It's fake news again, right? I've been reading this kind of news for several years, but I haven't seen the finished product!"
Brother Chic: "Wow, Niu Pen! Has anyone finally made it? It's still a series of movies! If it's released, I'll definitely buy a ticket to see it!"
The Tiger of the Serious Crime Team: "Please don't shoot it, okay? Every time I shoot it, I vomit it!
Beihai Salted Fish: "Tiger of the Serious Crime Team, can you see it clearly? This time it is Deep Space Digital that does the special effects, you know "Demon Boy Nezha", that special effect is what they did! They do special effects, it must be much better than fighting the horse!"
Xiao G: "I just want to know who the starring role is, it can't be those little fresh meats again, right?
......
Not to mention the audience, the film and television circle was also shocked by the news.
Huayi Brothers Film and Television Co., Ltd., the person in charge Zhou Hua looked at the report and wondered: "Is this news true?"
"It's absolutely true!" the subordinate reported, "the film project is all set up, and they really plan to invest so much." ”
"It's really courageous!" Zhou Hua shook his head, "There are no famous directors and no stars, they dare to vote! I can only say that their boss has a big heart!"
These old film manufacturers are very conservative in their investment, famous directors + famous actors, or big IP + small fresh meat, are the projects they like to invest in.
"Maybe they are very confident in themselves!" the subordinate analyzed, "It is undeniable that in just one year, Deep Space Digital has become one of the top special effects studios in the world, but it is still too risky to exclude epic blockbusters!"
......
Beijing Culture Communication Co., Ltd., CEO Zhang Qi saw the report and admired the courage of the other party, their company's largest investment in recent years is a mythological movie "Fengshen", which is expected to cost three billion.
This is already a huge amount of investment in domestic movies, but I didn't expect a bigger one.
"This 10 billion, I'm afraid it's just a gimmick. Zhang Qi commented, "If the box office of the first step is not satisfactory, it is estimated that the follow-up shooting plan will be cut." In this way, it seems that we should invest a little more. ”
"They have a lot of ambitions! This series of movies is going to create a fantasy movie universe!" said the vice president next to him, "just like the Marvel Cinematic Universe." ”
"The success of Marvel proves the success of the cinematic universe, and now everyone wants a similar cinematic universe, and our "Fengshen" is the same, to create a Fengshen cinematic universe. Zhang Qi said, "As for who can succeed, it depends on everyone's ability!"
Compared with the plan of Deep Space Film and Television, Zhang Qi is more confident in his company because they are more experienced in the film and television field. And this company, although it is rich, has no glorious resume, and the successful investment in "Demon Boy Nezha" only contributed special effects, not to mention the experience of making epic blockbusters.
......
In the film and television industry, some companies and related practitioners have begun to take the initiative to contact Deep Space Digital and Deep Space Film and Television, wanting to get a piece of the pie in this project.
For these, Wu Binghui did not refuse, after all, such a large project could not be completed by their own company.
Wu Binghui's preparations were quite sufficient, and after the film project was approved, Meng Xiaobai approved the funds, and they immediately began to prepare for film and television.
The director, script, etc. have all been prepared, so they directly entered the process of auditioning actors and preparing for filming.
mentioned this, Meng Xiaobai also specifically told Wu Binghui that it doesn't matter how others shoot him, don't see those who have no acting skills in the movies he invests in, and the acting skills of the main cast and crew must pass, otherwise they will all be replaced.
Wu Binghui also profoundly agrees with this point. He was not originally a person in the film and television industry, and he did not have the feelings of "star" and "traffic", and besides, the funds used for the production of this film will be much higher than the actor's salary, and it will be more cost-effective to use newcomers.
The shooting of an epic blockbuster often encounters various problems, and it has only been less than half a month since the film was established, and Deep Space Digital has encountered a trouble.
If you want to discharge a fantasy world, the production of movie special effects is the top priority, and in terms of computer technology, deep space digital naturally does not have to worry, but in terms of film molds, it has encountered problems.
For this matter, Mo Ziyi, the director of "Covering the Sky", came to the Deep Space Digital Studio.
Mo Ziyi is 34 years old this year, a young director in the film and television industry, and has previously directed some movies with a good reputation. He is particularly keen on mythology and fairy tales, but there are not many choices in China.
This time, I heard about the "Covering the Sky" movie project, Mo Ziyi recommended it to Wu Binghui by Mao Sui, and the two hit it off, so Wu Binghui later applied for the project like Meng Xiaobai.
He looks ordinary, likes to wear leather jackets, rides motorcycles, and obliquely bangs, like a trendsetter in the 80s.
"What's wrong with the props?" Meng Xiaobai asked, still in Deep Space.
"Mr. Meng, that's right. For his big boss and investors, Mo Ziyi naturally has great respect.
He explains: "When we shoot special effects films, computer technology is important, but the corresponding movie props are absolutely indispensable. The realism brought by the model is incomparable to the special effects, and if there is a corresponding model, it will reduce the difficulty of making many special effects. ”
"For example, the Nine Dragons coffin in the movie, if we can make a delicate model for shooting, it will look and feel completely different! ”
"I'll give you an example, it's like 'The Lord of the Rings', which created the world of 'Middle-earth', and in order to make this movie more realistic, Weta Digital made more than 50,000 model props, what equipment, monsters, and even models of entire cities!"
"It is because of these, coupled with the actors, directors and special effects, that this is the epic legend in the history of this film. ”
"Can't we make it?" Meng Xiaobai was a little puzzled, it was just a movie mold, and the difficulty should be less than the special effects, right?
Mo Ziyi showed a helpless expression, "It's not that it can't be produced, but there is no such company in China at all." The domestic film props company, to be honest, the prop production is too careless, and it can't meet our requirements!"
