Chapter 453: Sci-Fi Thriller

"In other words, let me make a movie with the characteristics of Eastern culture, but to find a way to conquer Western audiences and Western box office?" Wang Qian understood as soon as he heard it.

"Well, leadership means preferably sci-fi and positive. In terms of specific filming of the movie, you can ask Xiaomei to assist you in your work. The Ministry of Culture is responsible for coordinating the project establishment and review, and we can also help raise funds. Ma Wenxuan nodded.

"If you need to promote the main theme in the movie or something, I'm afraid that Western audiences will find it difficult to accept it for a while, and there has to be an adaptation process. If you want to occupy the world in terms of cultural influence, you can't use forced indoctrination, you have to have a gradual process. Wang Qian thought about it and mentioned it to Ma Wenxuan, his "Grand Theft Auto", which conquered players in the Western world, was not positive at all.

"We understand, at the beginning! First of all, we have to find a way to go abroad, and then we can say that there is no clear requirement for the main theme or something, and we can let it go appropriately, as for the positive energy, it can be human beings against aliens! Human beings, of course, Chinese people must win in the end, just like "Earth Defense War", although the plot is nonsense, but in the end, it was the Chinese people who defeated the invading aliens, and it was the Chinese martial arts that defeated the aliens and saved the world, which can be regarded as propagating Chinese culture. Ma Wenxuan relaxed the conditions.

"Human beings fight against aliens, and in the end, human beings and Chinese people will win...... Okay, that's fine. Wang Qian agreed.

"The film should reflect the cultural characteristics of the Eastern world everywhere, so that the Western world can feel the advanced technology of our technology and the influence of our culture. Ma Wenxuan made a few requests.

"If only these are the few conditions, it will be easy to do. Wang Qian originally had plans to make a movie, mainly because he was worried that Swollen Ju would deliberately make things difficult, which would make him unable to guarantee the domestic box office, but now with the background of the Ministry of Culture, he can shoot boldly with confidence, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to release it in China.

"Director Liu has a lot of experience in filmmaking, and if you can't find a suitable director, you can work with her. Yun Yan is our country's most influential actor in the world, I hope this film will be starred by her, in addition, it would be better if Mr. Wang and Mr. Tang could play the roles in it in friendship, I want to put together the strongest lineup without permission, I don't know if Mr. Wang can accept it?" Ma Wenxuan looked at the people around him.

Liu Xiaomei and Chu Yunyan can have today's status in the film industry, with the support of Ma Wenxuan behind them, this kind of good thing to stride towards the international market, of course, the fertilizer water cannot flow into the fields of outsiders.

"It is my honor to work with Director Liu and Chuda movie stars. If Mr. Tang is willing to participate, I don't have any problem. Although Wang Qian and these two did not know each other before, they both supported him on Weibo, and they are long-time friends, he and Tang Jing have already vacated the schedule, and they were originally going to participate in "Earth Defense", but now they are acting in their own movies.

"In terms of investment...... At present, we can probably help pull tens of millions, and after Mr. Wang has specific script ideas and ideas, he can communicate with Director Liu to determine how much it will cost. However, I feel that it can't be as extravagant as "Earth Defense", in case the box office fails, our Ministry of Culture will look very bad on it. By the way, Yun Yan promised to only charge half of the appearance fee, and I saved you at least 20 million in this regard!" Ma Wenxuan mentioned another matter to Wang Qian.

"Tens of millions of investments are enough, and spending more money may not be able to make a good film, thanks to Yun Yan's sister for her friendship. Wang Qian shook his head.

"Teacher Wang is polite, it's my honor to cooperate with Teacher Wang!" Chu Yunyan smiled at Wang Qian, her normal appearance fee for acting in a movie is 40 million, and this time she only charges 20 million, of course, mainly to see Ma Wenxuan's face.

"Okay! I'm just waiting for the birth of a classic movie that sells well at the box office at home and abroad!" Ma Wenxuan couldn't help but be very happy when he saw that Wang Qian had even agreed to the financial matters.

……

Human beings fight against aliens, and the ending of the movie must be victorious, adding Chinese elements.

In the movies of the original world, there are many such films, the most famous is "Independence Day", and there are many bad movies that Wang Qian can't remember and can't name.

However, Wang Qian doesn't want to remake a film like "Independence Day" in this life, although "Independence Day" is very famous in the original world, but in Wang Qian's opinion, it is a bad movie that looks lively, and the heroic popcorn movie of the United States has no connotation at all.

Human beings can do more connotative and in-depth against aliens.

Wang Qian carefully analyzed the science fiction movies in this life, especially the science fiction movies involving the universe and alien humans, and found that this life is missing the biggest category in science fiction movies.

That's a sci-fi thriller.

The movie science fiction in this life is science fiction, a thriller is a thriller, and there has not yet been a successful science fiction thriller.

You must know that in the original world, there are many masterpieces in sci-fi thrillers, and they are classics.

Space and aliens should be unknown, mysterious, and frightening to the audience, so as to leave a deeper impression on the audience, and make it difficult for them to forget after watching it.

Only if the audience has an endless aftertaste after watching it, and even feels that there are many doubts unsolved, and they want to watch it a second or third time, then this movie can be regarded as a success.

There is such a sci-fi thriller film in the original world, which can be regarded as the ancestor of sci-fi thrillers, and it is also a movie of the human genre against aliens, but the whole movie is full of unknown, mysterious, suspenseful, and frightening atmosphere, which makes Wang Qian unforgettable after watching it, and even has a lot of regrets in his heart.

That is "Alien", which was released on May 25, 1979 and won numerous awards in 1980!

The most exciting one in the "Alien" series is "Alien 1", which is a classic in the history of science fiction movies, portraying the unknown, mystery and fear of aliens to the extreme.

The next few sequels are a bit out of standard, and it is also Wang Qian's regret.

After the fourth part, "Alien" couldn't even be filmed, and "Alien vs. Predator" that appeared a few years later felt a little unsatisfactory, and the "Prometheus" series that appeared after 2010 brought back some levels, but after all, I still couldn't find the shock I had when I first watched "Alien".

Moreover, there are very few scenes in the first part of "Alien", and there are few actors, and the cost of actors will be very low if it is remade, and the rest can be solved with computer special effects.

As for computer effects...... When Wang Qian made the game DLC, the imagination is the world, which can be replaced by high-definition computer DLC, and then the characters are synthesized into it, which is guaranteed to be many times better than the effect of the original world in 1970.

In terms of plot, Wang Qian will also make some modifications and improvements, such as the Nostromo, which can be changed to Blizzard, and the Weilan Tanggu Company, to which Nostromo belongs, is changed to Weixin Company, and the crew is mainly played by Chinese, and a black and white can be added to cater to Western audiences.

In terms of the design and scene decoration of the Blizzard, various Chinese elements can be added.

But the main structure of the story and the sense of unknown, mystery, and fear must all be preserved.

……

Wang Qian is a person who does what he says, and decided to remake "Alien 1", and he is also ready to redesign the script in the future to shoot and produce "Alien 2", "Alien 3", "Alien 4" and even more sequels to make up for his inner regrets.

Wang Qian is not worried that this classic, which originally belongs to the Western world, will have no box office in the Western world, and there is just a lack of sci-fi thriller movies in this life.

And the box office is not the focus of Wang Qian's consideration, he just wants to realize a dream in his heart, let the classics in his heart be presented in his own hands, and make up for the regrets in it, people live two lives, this aspect is the most important thing for him.

Before all the filming work, Wang Qian first purchased a vacant land to build a science fiction film and television city, which was invested by Blizzard, and in the future, after the film sold well, it could also be converted into a tourist attraction to sell tickets, and all the investment money was earned.

Thousands of workers and technicians were stationed in the science fiction film and television city, and all kinds of building materials were in place, and three main sets were built at the speed of China according to Wang Qian's requirements, one is the scene on the surface of the planet, the second is the interior of the 'Blizzard', and the third is the interior of the wreckage of the alien spaceship.

The Blizzard's three decks are located in three sound stages, and the different rooms are connected by corridors, which allow the actors to walk through long corridors when changing sets, further enhancing the horror of the film and the realism of the spaceship's interior.

The old-fashioned, large-transistor, low-resolution computer displays that can be seen everywhere in the original ship have all been replaced by fantasy chip projection technology, and the entire ship will have a strong sense of futuristic technology...... It's the age of astronautics, how can it be possible to use a low-resolution computer display with large transistors in a spaceship?

After the scenes needed in the movie are set up, the next thing is the actors.

Except for Chu Yunyan, Wang Qian is not ready to invite any celebrities.

He only needs a few ordinary people to perfectly interpret the whole film.
