Chapter 37: Nolan's Arrival in China (5/6)
(I deleted a little bit in the previous chapter, and sometimes I can't control myself, and I somehow substitute my emotions...) )
In fact, the field of science fiction itself is foreign, and it is a Western thinking.
The style in our country is Liaozhai, which is the Romance of the Gods, there is no distinction between high and low, just cultural style.
It's not that there haven't been excellent science fiction works in China, not to mention Da Liu's, like Zhao Haihong's "Io Kasda" and Liu Wenyang's "One Day Prisoner" are all very good works.
But it's rare, and if you watch "Science Fiction World" for several years in a row, you will conclude that these stories are very similar, they are all love stories built into the future, they are all five-figure years, strange vehicles, and they are all about various love stories.
This of course includes "Fortress of the Sea"...
Sci-fi + love...
In the field of film, it is really unflattering!
There is nothing wrong with the text.
The story of "Liuhai Fortress" is that when humanity is extinct, I still have only you in my mind.
Jiang Nan laid a grand background, the invasion of alien civilizations, the sinking of land in New York, the cannon in Shanghai - the entire human race is at the moment of life and death, but I am still struggling with how to send you a text message, and I am still entangled in whether you really like Yang Jiannan or I like me a little.
But it won't work as a movie...
Unless you make an animated movie...
But this project has already started - China Film has spent a lot of money to build!
……
Lu Xiaoran didn't pay much attention to "Interstellar", so he responded accordingly.
What would happen if "Interstellar" was filmed by him?
There is a small probability that it will be sprayed into a sieve - spraying wildly with obvious plot logic...
Of course, there is a greater probability that it is the same god, in fact, except for a few people with extreme ideas, most people's evaluation of the movie is still relatively objective and fair.
If the assumption is not true, Lu Xiaoran is not Shen Lin...
He was busy choosing actors - the two films "Dear" and "Orphaned" were launched at the same time.
The director of "Orphaned" found Peng Sanyuan.
This script was written by Peng Sanyuan based on a report, the prototype character is called Guo Gangtang, and the whole script is basically based on his description: sleeping in a bridge and a cave, staying in a temple and Taoist temple; because he was afraid of a conflict with someone and mistakenly looking for a child, he didn't pay much attention to all the provocations and ridicule. Only once in Hebei, I met a few drunks, and the other party beat him a few times, and then ripped off the flag with the child's information from the motorcycle and stepped on the photo a few times. He pushed the motorcycle away, and when he felt angry, he turned around and fought with them.
It's kind of a road movie.
So how can you shoot moving?
Plus a Zeng Shuai who is looking for his biological parents...
In this comparison, people can feel hopeful!
Insert a digression, the original time and space, "Orphaned" is Huayi's project, the director selected Peng Sanyuan, a newcomer director, Huayi was a little worried, so he discussed with her if he could invite a producer, Peng Sanyuan proposed to call Chen Kexin, so he gave the script of "Orphaned" to Chen Kexin, and Director Chen said that he couldn't come.
Then the "theme crash" - "Darling" was released before "Orphaned"!
Well, now that both works are made of oranges, I'm not afraid of a theme crash!
Why do you want to find Peng Sanyuan?
Because she has been paying attention to abduction since 02, and she has her own idea of shooting, let her come...
As for the loss, "Darling" will definitely make money anyway.
Who is Zeng Shuai looking for?
Huang Xuan?
It's a little old, that Peng Yuchang is good, let him try...
The main thing is that Mr. Li Xuejian nodded...
He was about to call Chen Zhixi, who came over with an invitation.
"Nolan came to China to promote "Interstellar", and China Film held a science fiction film forum, which is in the Film Archive!"
“… Science Fiction Movie Forum?
"Yes, and Liu Cixin!"
"What time?"
"Eight o'clock in the evening!" Chen Zhixi asked, "Do you want to go?"
"Of course I'm going, I'm like seeing Nolan with my own eyes, what magic is there... And I sat in a chair and talked to him, and I resolutely did not kneel!"
“… Do you still read Weibo?"
"It's not all sent to me by Sugar Candy... Why is she so idle?"
"How do I know?"
“… I'll give her a call and ask her to come to this forum too..."
……
Sugar candy is indeed idle...
The big heroine TV series with a salary of 60 million yuan said that it was pushed - the main time was not appropriate, Lu Xiaoran said that the public relations team on Lao Mei's side was running "Gravity" to rush to the Olympics, and maybe she could get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress...
Very exciting!
Oscar nomination for Best Actress!
Directly promoted to international sugar, you post-85 flowers are all low, look at the old lady...
Of course, there must be a necessary public relations, the so-called public relations is all kinds of appearances, tell the judges that I care about the awards, give a name...
Even Lu Xiaoran is ready to go to the United States to brush her face - suspend the filming of "Dear"...
If you want to win the award, this is a necessary procedure, Li An said, 'Chicken in Los Angeles is like plastic, and we laugh at this kind of 'plastic chicken feast' to eat at least 25 times to win the Oscar.'" For the sake of the staff, no matter how unpalatable the 'plastic chicken' is, you have to swallow it. The Screen Actors Guild and the Film Critics Association have to pull relationships, they can't talk nonsense, and they have to go step by step to win the Oscars. ’
After all, it is an Oscar, it is a great honor to win the award, the whole world is watching it, our art is no worse than others, for the sake of the team, we all want to win the award ourselves, and it is also very face-saving!
Tangtang's mind is now full of Oscars, and the first thing she said when she saw Lu Xiaoran: "Will "Interstellar" be nominated for an Oscar?"
Lu Xiaoran replied: "... I'm not a judge, but Warner is pushing "American Sniper", Paramount is pushing "Selma", and "Interstellar" should be difficult to get PR resources..."
"How do you know this?"
"What David told me... David has two good friends, John Hozis and Daniel Katz, both of whom are good publicists and run independent literary films... I'm wondering if David should acquire A24..."
John Hozis and Daniel Katz are the two principals of A24, which is the number one at the North American Independent Film Festival.
Of course, Orange Manufacturing is also the prefix of the North American independent film industry, and the revenue of the film alone can definitely beat Weinstein Pictures, and A24 has been operating R-rated independent literary films, which can well complement the shortcomings of Orange Manufacturing in terms of awards.
Tangtang looked surprised, and pulled Lu Xiaoran's arm hard: "... Anne Hathaway!
Lu Xiaoran shut up...
How did I think about discussing the company's business with her...
When they arrived at the Film Archive, they met Nolan and Anne Hathaway...
The latter one is all about helping the Interstellar platform.
The five-day result of "Interstellar" in North America is $49.66 million, on the 14th, "Dumb and Agua 2", "Gone Girl" was released, on the 21st, "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay" opened, on the 26th, "Evil Boss 2" was released...
Jinnima doesn't give a way to live!
But in Chinese mainland, "Interstellar" has completely become a masterpiece, opening on the 12th, and as of the 17th, the first week score is 300 million...
surpassed North America and became the world's No. 1 box office powerhouse!
It stands to reason that Nolan has to come over to promote it - you expect the audience to buy your account, so you have to be nice to the audience...
300 million in the first week, and the final box office can be at least 700 million, which ranks among the top three blockbusters of the year.
