There are a lot of things in Longlin Pictures, but Lu Lin basically looks at two things and one manages, looking at finance and personnel, and managing blockbuster production, as for the small and medium-cost films starring Fat Di, Ying Bao and others, he has rarely asked.

But just these blockbusters are enough for him to be busy.

He is the director in "Three-Body Problem 2" and "Soldier Company 3", and the executive producer in "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Wolf Warrior 3". Although he has other staff to assist, there are still a lot of things for him to worry about.

After reading the script of "Soldier Company 3", I will meet with the project team of "The Wandering Earth 2" in the afternoon. In addition to director Guo Fan, there are also Gong Ge who serves as a producer, screenwriter Yan Dongxu and others.

Although the outline of the script has been approved, it is only the first step in the long march, and there is still a lot of work to be done, such as the concept design drawings.

During the filming of "The Wandering Earth", the production team drew 3,000 conceptual design drawings, including the detailed conception of all scenes such as planetary engines, dungeons, and carrier vehicles, and drew another 8,000 storyboard drawings based on the general design drawings, which is not an ordinary amount of work.

In "The Wandering Earth 2", the planetary engine does not need to be drawn, but it is necessary to draw the destruction of asteroids. Not yet one, but through a long and vast asteroid belt.

In fact, in the original book, when the Earth passed by Jupiter, it was not captured by gravity, but escaped from the sun with the help of Jupiter's gravity.

After Jupiter left the solar system, civil society studies found that the sun did not seem to have any signs of exploding. So the people of the world were outraged. It is suspected that the coalition government has fabricated the lie that "the sun is about to explode" in order to promote authoritarian rule, and the rebellion has swept the world.

Eventually, the coalition government was overthrown, and the 5,000 crew members of the Earth's wheelhouse were taken to the ice of the sea, where the freezing cold slowly took their lives. More than 100,000 people watched the execution and sang "My Sun" in unison.

In the song of "My Sun", the sun exploded (helium flash), and more than 100,000 people on the ice field were stunned!

In fact, "criticizing human nature" has always been the ideological theme of Da Liu's works, but it does not quite conform to the laws of business.

If the sequel is made like this, firstly, it will not be easy to pass the review, and secondly, the audience may not be able to buy it, but it can go to the three major European films to compete for awards.

So the plot of the sequel is filmed through the asteroid belt.

There is a description of this in the original book, some asteroids are like mountains, and 50 million tons of thermonuclear bombs can only make a small crater on them, but fortunately there are antimatter bombs.

It's just that from the earth to flying out of the solar system, a total of four asteroid belts are experienced, the first is a rocky asteroid between fire and wood, because after Jupiter, you don't have to think about it unless you shoot a prequel.

The second is the Kuiper Belt, which is full of frozen rocks, with many dwarf planets, the third is the ecliptic discrete disk, and the farthest is the Oort Nebula, a radius of one light year, which flies out of here to escape the solar system. Flying out of here is really goodbye.

In contrast, it is more representative to pass through the Ultra Nebula.

In addition, there are some hypotheses circulating on the Internet about the "skin of the solar system", which believes that the solar system is a prison that humans cannot fly out of, and the earth is just a movie theater. When you get to space, you can't see anything in the dark......

In short, there are some arguments that "The Wandering Earth 2" uses the gimmick of crossing the Olympic Nebula and escaping the solar system, and it will have a great advantage in terms of marketing.

Not to mention anything else, when it is about to be released, let the sailors make some rumors, saying that the Longlin version of "The Wandering Earth 2" deviates from the original book, and after passing through the nebula, what you see is indeed an alien starfleet, the solar system is a prison, and the earth civilization is ...... Definitely eye-catching!

……

In the office, seeing Gao Wen leading Guo Fan, Gong Ge, and Yan Dongxu into the door, Lu Lin got up and smiled: "Come here!"

"Director Lu!"

"Chairman!"

These people have different names, but they still have a lot of respect for Lu Lin. Even Guo Fan, although he has become a four-billion-dollar leader, he is quite attracted by various companies abroad. But I have been thinking about Lu Lin's kindness.

In addition, the copyright of "The Wandering Earth" is in Longlin Pictures, and there is no idea of leaving within ten or eight years.

Because Lu Lin once told him that "The Wandering Earth" can be made into a "Star Wars"-like series of movies. After all, the whole story spans more than 2,000 years, and how many ten generations can be filmed by a different group of people anytime and anywhere, until the Earth is anchored in the orbit of Proxima Centauri.

Therefore, the protagonists who crossed the Oort Nebula and escaped from the solar system are more than ten generations after the previous one. It also means that all the roles in the previous play must be replaced and re-elected.

"What do you think about the selection of the hero and heroine?" Lu Lin asked first.

Guo Fan's smile was very real, and said: "The attraction of this movie is the special effects and setting, the characters are not the most critical, as long as the acting skills are qualified and can complete the requirements of the script, I don't know how to choose for a while, what good ideas does Director Lu have?"

But he guessed that Lu Lin asked this, and nine times out of ten he wanted to "point the heroine", and secretly said in his heart: "It shouldn't be anyone, I was quite confident, why are you so worried!"

Fortunately, Lu Lin said, "In my opinion, then Zhao Liying!"

Guo Fan was really surprised, but then he thought that this person has always had the name of "Sister Longlin", but there are relatively few movie resources, especially in the blockbuster shot by Lu Lin, she was only known as the heroine in one "Daughter Country", but the limelight was all stolen by the second female "scorpion essence". I don't know if Lu Lin chose this way, whether he wanted her to improve her achievements again, or out of compensation.

But fortunately, although Zhao Liying is a traffic actress, her acting skills and professional attitude have always been well-known, but she is not particularly resistant, and she hurriedly said: "Her acting skills and image are good, I think there is no problem with being the heroine of the new film!"

Producer Gong Ge and screenwriter Yan Dongxu also said that this heroine can.

As for the salary, Zhao Liying quoted 10 million yuan, which is still affordable for a film with an investment of 500 million.

"The male protagonist and others think, it's up to you to decide, Director Guo's strength and vision, I still believe it. When Lu Lin said this, he remembered that Guo Fan asked Wu Jing to save the scene, invited someone to be an investor, and found a male protagonist on the street, so he filmed the scene.

Seeing that Lu Lin had given up power, Guo Fan just couldn't ask for it, and said with a smile: "Cheng, then we will choose first, and report the list to you later, if you think which role needs to be adjusted, we will discuss it again!"

The topic of selecting actors came to an end, and everyone discussed the Oort Nebula again.

Astronomical theory holds that almost every star is formed within a nebula, and the sun is no exception. It is believed that after the formation of large celestial bodies such as the Sun and the dwarf planets in the solar system, the inner space of the solar nebula was cleared by these stars, but the outer part remained, and this remnant nebula shell is now known as the Oort Nebula.

So, this thing is a bit like an eggshell, and how to show this eggshell-like nebula and the scenery through the post-solar system requires concept blueprints!
