Chapter 135: New Film Project

In the past few days of being a dad at home, a news about the China National Space Administration also made Chen Yongren determine the theme of the next movie.

"At 18 o'clock in the evening of March 1, 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.

Chen Yongren 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.

Chen Yongren 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 Chen Yongren'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 Chen Yongren wanted to shoot them, so he simply wrote the scripts of both movies.

However, Chen Yongren still has to make a choice about which one to shoot first, after the script is written, after thinking for a few minutes, Chen Yongren 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 it was decided to make this movie, Chen Yongren did not grind and chirped, and soon began to prepare for the film.

……

On March 10th, at the press conference held by Longteng Media Group, Chen Yongren also made his finale appearance, announcing the start of a new phase of the new star director project, followed by the establishment of the 'Dawn' Charity Foundation, and finally announcing his new film plan.

announced the first two things, and everyone was amazed by the generosity of Longteng Media.

The total amount of support for new star directors in this issue is as high as one billion, and this plan still limits the age of directors, mainly to support young directors, in principle, the age cannot exceed 40 years old.

After all, young people's ideas are not so restrained, they dare to try new things, and when they are older, they will cherish their feathers and dare not make new attempts, so not everyone can come here to get a sum of money, it must be used to invest in good movies, it doesn't matter if you make money or not, but it must be a high-quality product, not a bad movie.

This new star director plan seems to some people to be completely burning money, but Chen Yongren is doing it very well, because this is one of the things he really does for Chinese films, and he has indeed unearthed some excellent directors, some of whom have become the pillars of directors under Longteng Media, and even the backbone of Chinese films.

The Dawn Charity Foundation is named after his daughter, in order to prevent this foundation from becoming a tool for some people to gain fame and money.

Therefore, Chen Yongren also made some explanations about the operation of the foundation, this foundation is a public welfare charity foundation, and it is inevitable that some additional funds such as donations will pour in, so the foundation's funds will be managed by professionals.

Chen Yongren also publicly promised that everything in the flow of funds of the foundation will be made public, and every expenditure will be made public in front of everyone, which may lead to the inability to make oil and water, resulting in no one willing to come, so Chen Yongren also offered a high salary and high treatment.

At the same time, volunteers from all walks of life are also welcome to participate in this charitable foundation.

This charitable foundation mainly cares about the lack of money for medical treatment and other hospital problems for ordinary people, and education problems in remote areas.

The source of funds for the foundation is first of all Chen Yongren's first donation of 1.5 billion yuan in his personal name and company name, and at the same time, 50 million yuan of charitable funds will be injected into the foundation every year in the future.

Part of the idle funds of the foundation will also be used for investment and financial management, and all the income from investment and wealth management will be used for the daily expenses and charity of the foundation, forming a virtuous circle of charitable foundations.

The Dawn Charity Foundation's system of fully open funds does make people feel very confident and secure, and every one of them knows where it was spent and why it didn't, plus the donation of 1.5 billion yuan and the annual fund of 50 million in the future, it also shows Chen Yongren's determination to do these things.

Many people also applaud these two things, but everyone is still looking forward to Chen Yongren's new film project.

A person will inevitably be branded with some imprints, Chen Yongren has a lot of imprints, but the biggest imprint, and what everyone values the most, is the movie.

Although "Three Fools" has just ended, although it has aroused the thinking of the Chinese people about the education system and caused great repercussions, what everyone wants to see more Chen Yongren's new film makes persistent efforts, carries the banner of Chinese films, goes abroad, and makes a lot of dollars around the world.

Therefore, 'making blockbusters' is the roar that all Chinese fans, and even every Chen Yongren fan, want to send to Chen Yongren.

After all, when a person is used to watching blockbusters, it is like having an appetite raised, and then watching those 2D films, although it is very exciting, it always feels like something is missing.

Facing a group of reporters, Chen Yongren said with a smile: "Next, I want to announce my new film plan..."

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

At this time, on the big screen behind Chen Yongren'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.

At the bottom of 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 Chen Yongren's works.

Some netizens who watched the live broadcast of the press conference online through Tomato 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 the founder of IMAX3D movies and the person who made 3D movies carry forward, Chen Yongren's film shot this time was shot with IMAX cameras 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 Chen Yongren 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, Chen Yongren 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 looking at Chen Yongren expectantly.
