Chapter 533: Preparation, Actors!(First Update, Subscription!)
After the release of the new issue of the Beijing News, it attracted wide attention from the whole society.
After all, it is a media cooperating with two major party newspapers, and it is formal enough to publish news about the film and television industry on the front page.
At the very least, the government is very optimistic and supportive of the film and television industry
For a while, various media published articles analyzing the current domestic film market and sang praises.
There are even media who shouted the slogan of catching up with and surpassing the United States in five years and becoming the world's largest film market.
For ordinary audiences, they are more concerned about what new movies are released by major companies, which is practical.
The top ten directors and eight films announced by Huayi have become the object of heated discussion, especially Feng Xiaogang's "1942", Cheng Long's "Zodiac", and Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West".
Bernard and Guangxian didn't have a few movies this year, and Pony only had "The Great Gold Robbery".
Han Tang has "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Hong Kong Embarrassment", as for Tang An's own movies, they have not yet been revealed to the public.
The development of the whole industry mentioned by Tang An has also attracted the attention of many game enthusiasts.
"Is this going to learn from Hollywood to make IP? Engage in a few superhero series!"
"It would be fun if you changed the game, what can you do if "Crossfire" is adapted into a movie, there is no plot~~~"
"Adapting the game will definitely have my big journey, I can shoot a series, the first part will be filmed according to the background, and the ten kingdoms will be filmed, a proper super war blockbuster!"
"The journey of scum, garbage games, the plot is too bloody, what is there to shoot, if you want to shoot legends, make epic fantasy blockbusters, the war between humans and orcs, and kill "The Lord of the Rings" in seconds!"
"I'm not convinced!"
"I think it's okay to run a kart, everyone in Hollywood has "Fast and Furious". ”
"The mud upstairs is outstanding, and you can talk about running go-karts, why don't you just shoot the bubble hall and the dance troupe?"
"Upstairs said that Bubble Hall and Dance Troupe look down on twist vines, why can't it be QQ Hall, QQ Speed, QQ Xuanwu?"
"Just shoot the poisoned milk powder, I have tens of millions of players in the poisoned milk powder, and the box office will break 1 billion in minutes, who will stand up if you are not convinced!"
......
As for other companies, they also want to find other ways to make money other than the box office, and some companies have launched film adaptations of TV series.
There are also one or two adapted games, and if they are tepid, they will earn a little copyright fee.
Most of them take a wait-and-see attitude and see what Tang An does, and if it is profitable, others will immediately follow.
But a few days later, another earthquake occurred in the entertainment industry.
LeTV held a press conference to announce that Zhang Yimou had joined LeTV Pictures.
Although most people had guessed that Zhang Yimou would leave, after all, he had been in the new picture for more than ten years, and many people did not react at once.
Founded a year ago, LETV, which has never had a sense of existence, immediately became the focus of the film and television industry.
No matter what company, having a top director, it is impossible for anyone to ignore it.
Jia Leting even shouted the slogan of the seventh giant in domestic film and television, and put LeTV in the position of the six giants.
When Tang An got the news in the company, there was no surprise, and it was still the same as before.
No matter where Zhang Yimou goes, it has nothing to do with him.
......
"Knock knock. ”
"Come in. ”
"Chairman, are you looking for me?"
Zhao Jun, the newly appointed director of the production department, pushed the door in.
"Old Zhao sit, how is the handover of the production department?" Tang An asked him to sit down.
Zhao Jun replied, "The handover has been smooth, and Mr. Liu is preparing for a new film company." ”
Tang An nodded, "Well, you immediately send a few location teams now, and "Interstellar" is about to start preparing." ”
Zhao Jun immediately said, "No problem, what kind of location do you need, chairman?"
"Send someone to the north of the desert and the area of the Root River to find a large suitable vacant land. ”
"I went to China Film and asked them to contact the Icelandic government, I need to shoot on Vatnajökull glacier, and I hope to ask the other party to cooperate. ”
"Go to Tiangong Colorful to find Xiao Yang, let them improve this drawing, and they can play freely on this basis, but the most important thing is to make the spaceship look like it is not a product of our current era, and the approximate data is on it. ”
......
Interstellar can already start preparing, especially with some troubles.
Vatnajökull in Iceland is the third largest glacier in the world, the first is of course the Antarctic glacier, and the second largest is the Greenland glacier.
However, Greenland's glaciers have been melting rapidly since the last few years.
In Antarctica, the scenery is different, and Vatnajökull can be taken in real time, and basically no CG is used.
The cornfield in the protagonist's house was originally filmed in Canada, and Tang An first asked people to go to Mohe and Genhe to have a look.
Both of these places reach minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius at the coldest time of the year, which is not much warmer than the original filming location.
Tang An explained to Zhao Jun one by one, and after the location team and Tiangong Yicai gave a preliminary plan, he went to see them one by one.
"Okay chairman, I'll arrange it right away. ”
Zhao Jun nodded, thought about it and asked, "How big is the large open space of Genhe and Mohe, and what are the special requirements for the landform?"
"The bigger the better, there is no edge to look at, and there are no buildings or trees to be seen. ”
Although not as inaccessible as Canada, it is not difficult to find a barren land in two of the coldest places in the country.
Even if there are villages and trees in the right places, it is a big deal to pay them all to move out and clean them all up.
That place, it may not be possible to encounter demolition in a hundred years, and besides, Tang An doesn't want their land, but just demolished the village, and the land is still theirs after the shooting.
It is cheaper to shoot in China than to shoot in Canada, and the round-trip air tickets, food, and accommodation of so many people in the crew are a big number.
......
The preparation of "Interstellar" was officially started, and the location team rushed to Genhe and Mohe, and sent the pictures back to the capital for Tang An to screen.
Tiangong Strange Colors spent half a month making a 3D three-dimensional model of the spaceship, looked at every detail and parameter on the computer, and Tang An made a decision.
However, this spaceship did not let the special effects company do it, and found a more professional company.
The special effects company has other things, Tang An invited three astrophysics professors from Nanjing University, Huaguo University of Science and Technology, and Jingcheng University, which are among the top three universities in astrophysics in China.
There are also other universities and institutions that invite two professors of astronomy, two professors of quantum physics, and two professors of physics who are responsible for guiding the preparation of special effects in the early stage of Tiangong Wonder.
The special effects are about to start preparing now, and the special effects in outer space are not just a few balls, a few stars, frost effects, and fire effects.
The main work of Tiangong Brilliant is to simulate and render the cosmic environment, which must conform to the current science. For example, the distance between planets and stars, the relative size, the environment of other planets, particle effects, the dynamics of nebulae and galaxies, including the description of wormholes and black holes, etc.
Ten minutes of footage, the supercomputer has to calculate half a year.
Fortunately, the domestic supercomputer is the top in the world, and Tang An, with the help of Han Sanping, asked the leader of optoelectronics to come forward and lease the Tianhe-1 supercomputer, which ranks fifth in the world.
Two years ago, Tianhe-1 ranked first in the world!
And that kilometer-high wave, the special effects department also had to calculate detailed data.
It is also different from the general small waves, and the previous data cannot be used.
The splash of water droplets, the curl of water splashes, wave tops, bubbles, waves, water splashes, etc., must be re-simulated to obtain accurate data.
And this scene must have been shot with an IMAX camera, and any shortcomings will be infinitely highlighted, and must be extremely detailed.
Tiangong Yicai once again invested a lot of money for the special effects this time.
In the past two years, relying on the blockbusters under the Han and Tang Dynasties, Tiangong has developed faster and faster, and more and more has been invested.
Hundreds of millions of special effects costs at every turn, Tiangong Colorful also had to invest a huge amount in the early stage, Tang An invested without money, and now he has accounted for 56% of the shares and achieved control.
Others, including several founders, have diluted their shares quite a bit.
But they can't help it, they don't have the money to invest, and if they don't accept Tang An's investment, they can't take over Hantang's business, and they have to accept it if they don't accept it.
The money was not spent in vain, and Tiangong Brilliant has become the leading special effects company in China.
And in order to save costs in Hollywood blockbusters in the future, a considerable number of them will come to domestic special effects companies, and Tiangong Brilliant is definitely the first choice.
At that time, it will be time to harvest, and there will be no shortage of investment from external funds and investment banks, and there will be no problem in operating and listing.
All aspects are proceeding in an orderly manner, and when the time comes to April, Tang An has also completed his own script.
Then it's time for the actors.
