In the past few days of being a dad at home, a piece of news about the China National Space Administration made Qin Feng finally determine the theme of the next movie.

"At 18 o'clock in the evening of August 13, the Wukong Mars probe was launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and the chief engineer of Huaxia Manned Space Science and Technology said in an interview with reporters: The successful launch of the Wukong Mars probe is another milestone event in China's space exploration, which plays a vital role in China's future space research program, marking another big step forward in China's aerospace industry. ”

On the television, a man in a lab uniform who looks to be in his forties talks to reporters.

"The purpose of launching the Wukong Mars probe is to further accumulate experience and verify relevant technologies for China's space exploration. The chief engineer also told the next Huaxia space program, and it can be seen that when the chief engineer said these words, his words revealed a sense of pride, after all, there are only a handful of countries in the world that can have this kind of space technology, and Huaxia has now become one of the few countries on the top of the pyramid in this field.

Qin Feng was also very happy to see this news, partly because of another leap forward in the country's space technology, and partly because after reading this news, he had an idea in his heart, that is, the theme of space.

Qin Feng has always been very interested in space themes, but since filming "Interstellar", there has been no space theme that has made him excited in a short period of time, so he has not thought about this theme anymore.

But the mystery of space, whether there are other alien civilizations in the universe, and the vastness of the universe have a very high attraction for the public.

For example, "Star Wars", the sensation caused by the first part of this space-themed movie in 77 years was huge, and the sequel is still being filmed, but the sequels are one after another, but the content has not changed much, they are all old-fashioned plots, and even the sequels are a bit bad, just selling feelings and so on, but it is undeniable that the success of this movie series, even if it is very bad, there are still fans who buy it.

That's the charm of Star Wars, that's the charm of the mystical space.

And the theme of space is not limited to the earth, there is a lot of room for imagination, and there are many places that can be adapted, so this movie theme is also a very popular theme, but there are not many that can be filmed well, and it often falls into cliché plots, so how to make new ideas is the factor in the success of this type of movie.

And when he thinks of the theme of space, the first thing that flashes in Qin Feng's mind is "Interstellar", but he has already made this movie, and in addition to "Interstellar", there are two works with excellent reputation and box office.

One is "Gravity", and the other is the so-called space version of "Robinson Crusoe", which is also a high-reputation and high-box office "The Martian".

"The Martian" is a work that surpasses the space technology mastered by the terrestrial people for at least 30 years, and in this film, they have built a spaceship that can travel in the sky, and built a base on Mars that can grow and support life for a long time.

And this movie tells the story of a botanist who lost contact with his team and was stranded on Mars after a huge sandstorm on Mars, and had to rely on the only resources at hand to survive.

The reason why it is said to be the space version of 'Robinson Crusoe' is because of the great similarity between the two.

They are all left alone in a place where there are no human beings, and they are also facing the challenge of survival, and they all have to come up with all kinds of ways to keep themselves alive until the day when rescue comes.

The difference is that the two sides live in different locations, Robinson Crusoe is still on Earth, and the protagonist of "The Martian" has rushed to Mars.

The most charming point of this movie is that even if the place where the actor is located is uninhabited Mars, the whole movie does not show off those space technologies from beginning to end, but more about how human beings want to survive in a harsh environment, as well as the mentality of facing desperate situations, and it is also a science fiction movie with very ideological connotations.

There are no exciting fights, but they give the audience a feeling of 'fighting with the sky'.

These two movies are very good, and Qin Feng wants to shoot them, so he simply wrote the scripts of both movies.

But which one to shoot first, Qin Feng still has to make a choice, after the script is written, after thinking for a few minutes, Qin Feng made a choice, that is, to shoot "Gravity" first.

The theme content of "Gravity" and "The Martian" is almost the same, and "Gravity" may be worse in connotation and plot than "The Martian", and the survival road of "The Martian" is more exciting, and since both movies have to be filmed, you can't shoot the best first, and put the almost one behind, which will make people feel regressed, so shoot "Gravity" first, and wait a year or two to shoot "The Martian", giving the audience a different feeling.

Since he decided to make this movie, Qin Feng didn't grind and chirp, and soon began to prepare for the movie.

Time has passed in a blink of an eye, and "Jurassic World" has been released for a month.

When the total box office of the month was announced, the world film industry was once again shocked.

"Jurassic World" was released for a month, and the total box office exceeded $3 billion, reaching a box office of $3.086 billion, breaking the box office of "Iron Man" and ranking first in the box office of world film history.

"Avatar" was released for a month, and the total box office did not break the $3 billion mark, winning $2.896 billion, which also surpassed the box office of "Iron Man" and ranked second in the box office of world film history.

The situation has long been clear, "Jurassic World" has become the biggest winner of the summer file, and "Avatar" has become one of the biggest winners of the summer file, although it did not succeed in breaking the $3 billion mark.

Although he lost to Qin Feng, Cameron did not lose to himself, once again refreshed his box office record, and became one of the two highest-grossing film directors in the world.

During this time, the movies of various countries were miserably, and filmmakers from all countries were very uncomfortable.

A British director said: "Hey, our country is really miserable, first ruled by the United States, last year by Huaxia Qin, this year the two sides came together, this wave of sweeping, really can't stand it." ”

A French director replied: "Yes, our country is the same! Two bastards, one old and one young, don't take us seriously at all, these two goods are too ruthless! Pity my film that has been made for a year." ”

A German director replied: "The great gods fight, you still dare to go up, your courage is commendable, but the result of cannon fodder is doomed! If you have time to be sentimental, you might as well think about how to make such a stunning work!"

"That's right, but now the only one who can withstand Huaxia Qin may be Cameron. "An Italian director, before he even started, he had already confessed.

It is not only the directors of various countries who are stimulated by the box office, but also the carnival of countless media and fans.

Many people are jealous of Qin Feng's ability to make money, but they admire Chen, doing all this, putting aside his personal composition, Qin Feng is brilliant as a Chinese director.

won the first Oscar for Best Director in China, broke the box office record in world film history for two consecutive years, and has dazzling achievements.

So in Huaxia, there is never a shortage of media reports, and it is said that Qin Feng is very awesome, for Huaxia media reporters, it is painful and happy, happy is that Qin Feng has too much awesome to write, and the painful thing is that Qin Feng has been so awesome that the media has no new words to describe him.

Therefore, unlike the foreign media that frantically boast about Qin Feng, most of the domestic media report on Qin Feng's new film plan and the artists under his company, as for the box office of the movie, it is only slightly mentioned, in the eyes of the media, this is just Qin Feng's routine operation.

And many bigwigs in the Chinese film industry, some government members of the Ministry of Culture, have also said in public more than once that Qin Feng is the pride of Chinese directors.

Qin Feng's fight for face is actually to give them a fight, and even the leader of the stick country came to visit and said to No. 1 that he likes Chinese movies very much, especially Qin Feng's works, which are loved by their country.

As a very face-saving thing, the country also gave it to this leader, Qin Feng's collection of movies, and the leaders of the stick country were also very happy.

Qin Feng's influence has also made the country pay more and more attention to him, and some bigwigs said to the following during the meeting: "The country needs some business cards, in addition to our hard power, we also need some soft power."

Some well-known figures in our country are also our country's business cards, and we must pay attention to these talents, escort them, and never allow malicious intent to be a stumbling block!"

As a result, as soon as the top speaks, the bottom immediately breaks his leg.

Especially in the cultural department, in response to the spirit of the instructions of the superiors, held a few meetings in a row to comprehend and learn the spirit, and then listed several well-known stars in the country headed by Qin Feng, fully sent warmth, and said: "I hope that you will continue to create new brilliance on the original basis and win glory for the country!"

......

On August 15th, at the press conference held by Yanhuang Media Group, Qin Feng also made his finale appearance and announced his new film plan: "Next, I want to announce my new film plan..."

Every reporter in the audience was holding their breath and staring at Qin Feng with straight eyes.

At this time, on the big screen behind Qin Feng's seat, a huge poster slowly descended, fifteen meters long and six meters high, and on the poster was a space picture.

The space scene shown on this huge poster is so beautiful that it gives people a very strong visual impact.

Below the poster, there are four big characters "Gravity", and further down, there are the words IMAX3D, and then there are a few big characters in Qin Feng's works.

Some netizens who watched the live broadcast of the press conference online through Tudou Video have discussed.

"This poster is a bit of a bombardment! "Gravity" is the name of the movie, what does it mean?"

"You don't care what it means, it depends on the point!" Some fans commented: "This is another IMAX3D movie, another blockbuster!"

As a person who makes 3D movies flourish, Qin Feng's film shot this time was shot with an IMAX camera again, and it is estimated that he is a big deal.

3D movies are not uncommon nowadays, but there are not many IMAX3D movies, after all, the production cost is very expensive, so there are not many directors who can play IMAX.

Even Qin Feng is not so extravagant, every movie is shot with an IMAX camera, of course, the main reason is that it is not necessary.

"Did you see that? There's a lot of space junk on the poster rushing towards that astronaut, so this movie is about a space catastrophe?"

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Qin Feng cleared his throat, and everyone knew that he was speaking.

No matter how much speculation there is, no matter how convincing the main person's speech is, the reporters at the scene and some netizens who watched the live broadcast of the press conference are all looking at Qin Feng expectantly.

Qin Feng looked at the curious reporters in the audience and said: "This movie is called "Gravity", it tells the story of a space disaster, and the starring role will be a well-known actress in China, and I will also participate in the performance,......"

This is another big news for everyone, first of all, this movie is a space disaster movie, which some people have guessed.

Just the concept art of the movie shown by the huge poster, the beautiful earth star and the vast space make people very interested in this movie, and it is also an imax3d movie, everyone must be 100% confident that Qin Feng will be able to make an imamax3d movie.

A few years ago, "Interstellar" was born, and many people still remember it, and now Qin Feng is about to shoot "Gravity", in that vast space, things will definitely happen that make everyone think unimaginable.

No one will doubt the technicality of Qin Feng's film and the authenticity of 3D, after all, this is Qin Feng's directorial work! With "Interstellar" in front, Qin Feng's pursuit of film visual effects is unmatched, so everyone is looking forward to "Gravity" more and more.

However, what everyone is looking forward to the most is that Qin Feng said that he would participate in the performance, although he has not seen Qin Feng appear for a long time, but no one doubts Qin Feng's acting skills, but he feels amazing.

A reporter immediately asked: "Hello Director Qin, you said that you would participate in the performance, did you play the leading role? Or is it just a cameo?"

Qin Feng replied: "I will be one of the protagonists in this movie. ”

Hearing Qin Feng's answer, everyone's expectations for "Gravity" became stronger and stronger.

Facing a lot of questions from reporters, Qin Feng said: "There is more news about my new movie, I will give you an answer in the next "Gravity" opening ceremony, "Gravity" will be held on September 1, and the relevant situation will be introduced at that time, and today's press conference will be here first..."

Subsequently, Qin Feng went to visit the Space Agency, and by the way, invited an expert in the field of aviation as a special consultant for "Gravity", and many parts of this movie still need some professional guidance.

After being busy with these things, Qin Feng went to the film and television base and took a look at the perfection of the set that had been built.

In the outer space scenes of "Gravity", only the faces of the actors under the helmets are filmed, which makes the film even more memorable in terms of technology and aesthetics.

And the other things in the outer space scene, including spacesuits, space stations, and earth, are all made in CG.

On the evening of the 18th, Qin Feng held a seminar on the crew exchange of "Gravity", which was attended by Wang Dali, the head of the photography team, the producer Fang Zhou, the assistant director Yang Fan, the field supervisor Li Hua, the lighting team leader Liao Juntao, the props team leader Meng Wei, and the special consultant, Li Zicheng, an expert in the aerospace field.

Many things in "Gravity" require a lot of professionalism, and after the actual filming starts, it is a test of the skills of the director and staff.

Except for the temporary special consultants, the rest of the people present are all members of Qin Feng's regular team, although they have followed Qin Feng to make one movie after another, witnessed countless miracles, and they have all become the top elites in the industry, but no matter what, the meeting before the start of filming has become a routine, after all, it is difficult to guarantee that people who are in tacit understanding will not make mistakes, so hold a seminar, discuss it, ventilate, and exchange opinions with each other, so that the filming will go more smoothly.

At the scene, everyone was looking at Qin Feng, and now they are all looking at Qin Feng very consciously, waiting to listen to him, it will not be like the first time, no one is convinced by anyone.

Qin Feng cleared his voice, looked at the backbones of his own royal team and said: ""Gravity will start filming soon, and now in front of everyone's eyes, there is a storyboard script of "Gravity" and their respective work contents. ”

Everyone nodded, the storyboard script they had on hand, everyone had a thick bundle on their hands, which was drawn by Qin Feng when he was at home with the baby during this time.

Nowadays, when making movies, there will basically be a storyboard script, and with a storyboard script, it will be easier to make a movie, and there will be fewer mistakes, so that a movie can be made more efficiently.

"I've said a lot about what I should say, if you still have any questions about this movie, if you have any questions, you should raise them as soon as possible, don't put them into the filming with questions. Qin Feng said.

Every time before the start of filming, he will hold such a meeting, if there is a problem, you can raise it in advance, solve it first, and then talk about it. But after the filming really starts, even if there is a problem, they have to complete their own things according to his requirements, and no more reasons can be put forward.

This is also to ensure the efficiency and quality of the crew's shooting, otherwise if you shoot a shot, hundreds of people will have thousands or hundreds of problems, then don't shoot the movie.

Wang Dali, the head of the photography team, looked at Qin Feng and said, "Director Qin, is there a bit too many IMAX cameras this time? ”

Although the company is rich and Qin Feng is also wealthy, having money does not mean that he has to waste it, and he didn't use so many stations when he filmed "Interstellar" before, so Wang Dali also reacted.

"It's still necessary, you just have to shoot well, and don't worry about the budget. Qin Feng replied, this movie is naturally useful to use so many IMAX cameras.

The boss spoke, Wang Dali stopped talking, although it was a question, but most of the time the questions they raised were not problems, Qin Feng proved that his decisions again and again were extremely correct, in fact, this is also related to the position and the different angles from which the problem is viewed, there is no right or wrong.

The rest of the people are almost no problem now, as early as the beginning of the crew's preparations, everything that should be asked is almost asked, and everything that should be mentioned has been mentioned.

After this exchange meeting, everyone went back to prepare for themselves, and the next thing was the opening ceremony of "Gravity", and the film will start filming after the opening ceremony, so for them, there is still a lot of preparation work to be done.
