"Mermaid 2" currently reveals too little information, last year's "New King of Comedy" almost consumed the reputation of the star, this year's Spring Festival, will anyone walk into the theater because of Zhou Xingchi's three words?

It's hard to say...

It's hard to explain this kind of thing clearly!

Not only Shen Ming is not sure, but Xu Zheng also doesn't dare to say - if a head work appears, it will directly take the winner...

I always feel that in recent years, these movies with box office intentions have been hidden in various ways, and no news has been revealed at all.

Insert a sentence, Brother Cheng Long's "Urgent Pioneer" is still in the late stage of production, and no one knows if it can be released during the Spring Festival.

……

"Mars Rescue", at the beginning, I wanted to go to Australia to shoot - the wilderness there, the later color adjustment, very similar to Mars...

The current situation is that this film is already a key project of the Ministry of Culture next year, and the policies and funds are all kinds of convenience, and Qingdao Film and Television City has specially built almost 10,000 square meters of real scenes, which are built according to the Martian landform...

And no, it doesn't charge money.

Then Guo Fan must be willing to use Qingdao Film and Television City as a filming location...

"The Martian", the story structure is very simple, it is a survival story in the space wilderness, which can also be called "I was a farmer on Mars" or "I planted potatoes on Mars".

Of course, everyone knows that it is not realistic to grow potatoes on Mars, the soil of Mars will be radioactive, and it is okay to contact it through a spacesuit, and if you contact it in person, you can also use it to grow potatoes and eat it, so it is easy to be over-radiated.

In space, it is best to use soilless cultivation to grow crops, using water as a substrate to grow crops, and adding inorganic nutrients to the culture medium.

However, soilless culture is generally only suitable for planting crops that eat the ground part, and it is easy to rot when the edible part is soaked in the culture medium.

It's definitely a bit unscientific in terms of setting.

It's still the same sentence: all science fiction works have scientific flaws, science fiction works are not scientific papers, and the author has no obligation and no possibility to write works that are completely free of scientific loopholes!

Not to mention that potatoes can't be grown on Mars, even if they are really planted, they are poisonous.

However, the plot of growing potatoes on Mars is one of the biggest highlights of the whole film "The Martian", which is very good-looking, so this bug is also worth it.

The setting pit dug by science fiction works is only worth it when it can bring exciting highlights to the story.

Otherwise, it's a loss-making deal.

In many cases, space-themed movies do not need to set a plot with a hundred turns and thousands of turns, or a profound and sublime core, because space itself is the best background for the coexistence of greatness and thrilling.

The most important thing for the film is to show the various details of the mission process as accurately as possible.

This seemingly simple requirement cannot be met by most countries - it needs to be supported by strong aerospace strength and a sufficiently open cultural atmosphere.

From this point of view, there are only a few countries in the world that have the conditions to shoot space themes, so space themes are really the crown jewels of the film industry!

The biggest difference from general narrative commercial films is that "The Martian" does not need to artificially set a villain, and no one will prevent the protagonist from surviving and returning to Earth, except for the natural environment of Mars.

Space movies actually have their own advantages in the picture, after you give a realistic enough space or alien scene, and then shoot it according to the general style of photography, it is enough to shock most people.

After all, it's a pleasure to see this kind of scenery on the big screen!

Of course, as a movie blessed by the space agency, Guo Fan needs to try to be scientific when shooting...

How to say it, it must be both entertaining and scientific!

……

"Lao Guo, it's a bit excessive, isn't it?"

When Shen Ming got the script, he was a little confused...

Is this still the script he wrote?

'Hydrazine is decomposed into nitrogen and hydrogen under iridium catalysis, and then hydrogen is carefully burned to obtain water. ’

What is this...

He's a liberal arts student, and now he's going to do chemistry experiments?

“… This is what the experts ask, and they say, this is the easiest and most effective way to do it. ”

"Is this easy?"

“… You don't want "The Martian" to be criticized for not being rigorous, do you?"

Guo Fan suddenly asked, "Why don't you plant rice?"

"The growing season of rice is too long, three months... Okay, I got it!"

You can think that the growing period of rice is too long to be planted on Mars, why don't you think of other aspects?

By the way, Shen Ming's character is set as an agronomist + half-baked chemist...

Why not a botanist?

Soil improvement, irrigation, fertilization, sowing, tillage, field management, harvesting, crop rotation...

These are not the things of botanists!

A month before Shen Ming arrived on the set, he was learning how to grow potatoes and operating phased control equipment...

You don't need to really be able to manipulate it, but you can't make it too fake - these must be recorded, and a version of "Shen Ming: The Birth of The Martian" will be produced at that time...

"The Wandering Earth", the most regrettable thing for fans is that there is no behind-the-scenes record!

The producer is shrewd this time, and the behind-the-scenes records are not only Shen Ming's version, but also Guo Fan, the Space Agency, including the special effects team, and so on...

As long as you're interested, we'll shoot!

To put it bluntly, these are profits...

After all, the investor's money is real!

Shen Ming is training here, and Guo Fan leads the camera crew to the space bureau to simulate the scene of the dialogue between the space bureau and Yang Ming (the protagonist's name), and of course, a series of activities to determine the rescue...

By the way, according to the script, it was originally the US space agency that provided assistance, but recently the United States and China have serious contradictions, and it has been changed to the Russian space agency...

-- At the International Astronautical Congress held in Washington last month, the Chinese representative was unable to attend, and the official reason of the United States was 'time conflict', but everyone knows that it was because they could not obtain a visa to the United States!

That's right, people are going to sanction China!

……

As of December 30, "The Great Escape" has been released for 18 days, and the single-day box office has fallen to less than 5 million, with a cumulative total box office of 1.25 billion...

Of course, this result is very good, but everyone discusses more about "Only Yun Knows"...

The movie is not Feng Xiaogang at all: it tells the story of Dongfeng, a man who lives abroad and is separated from his wife Yun Yin and Yang in middle age, after walking out of great loneliness and sorrow, he fulfills the unfulfilled wish of his beloved wife Yun in life.

A calm and sad love movie...

It is based on the true story of the pants director's friend...

Generally, movies based on real people and real events can move people!

The screenwriter is Zhang Ling, and the two have collaborated on "Tangshan Earthquake"...

After experiencing such a big thing, Feng Xiaogang can be regarded as living and understanding that for a director, movies are the most important thing...

Before the release, I made the movie quietly, and it didn't sell badly, let alone bombard this, bombard that...

The box office is very good - times have changed, before the movie is released, there is really no need for too much publicity, those who like to watch movies will automatically collect movie-related information, and all kinds of bombardment will only make people annoying~

On December 31, "The Eleventh Round" was released...
