Chapter 398: Concept
Since Guo Dalu wants to engage in science fiction films, he must engage in landmark works, science fiction movies that can have a strong impact on the audience's psychology, and that can be regarded as a real blockbuster.
There are indeed many classic science fiction works in the memory of another world, but there are not many movies that can give people a strong visual and psychological impact, and Guo Dalu's most concerned about making films is the issue of influence, which can start the popularity of Chinese culture, or let Chinese works be accepted by more and more people, which is what Guo Dalu is pursuing now.
Now the conditions are obvious, first, if it is a science fiction film, this is the main premise, and then it has a strong impact, and then it must have a market and ensure the box office.
In this way, there will not be too many films to choose from, and in another world, there are not many science fiction films that are classic both in terms of plot and logic.
Guo Dalu thought about it and decided to shoot the Terminator series.
The movie Terminator, Guo Dalu likes it from the bottom of his heart, the plot or something is secondary, what Guo Dalu cares about is that if a robot like the Terminator really appears in reality, can he, a martial arts master, kill such a robot?
Later, I thought about it, with the strength of the T8oo model robot in the first movie, it is not too difficult for me to kill him, as long as I hit him with a volley and use the dark power to break the electronic chip in the robot's body, in this way, the solid robot will definitely finish playing.
However, the liquid robot in the second part is difficult to deal with, forget it, even if he is a martial arts master, in the face of such a liquid monster, he can only escape.
If someone else sees a movie like Terminator, they will definitely be amazed by the thinking logic of the movie and the arrangement of the plot, as well as surprised by the combat power of the robots in the movie, but the first question that Guo Dalu thought of was "how to kill him".
It can be seen that although this guy has accepted the cultural memory of the entire other world, he still can't change his aggressive nature of martial arts.
Even among all the sci-fi films in another world, the Terminator series has to be in the top ten excellent films, and even decades later, it is talked about by people.
The setting of the film can be said to be very novel at the time, and the concept of robots posing a threat to humans is quite advanced and thought-provoking.
This movie has always been regarded as a science fiction classic, and the breakthrough special effects in it and the perfect connection of the plot make this movie eye-opening, and even really give birth to a sense of crisis that "robots may pose a threat to humans".
Although I know it's fake, I still can't stop moving closer to reality, which is the charm of an excellent science fiction movie.
The most awesome thing is that in fact, there are not a lot of special effects used in the whole movie, many of the scenes that look thrilling to you have nothing to do with special effects, most of the film is telling a story, instilling the audience with the concept of a terminator, and the post-apocalyptic situation born after the timeline.
The whole film is so in the tense plot, the context of the whole story is clearly shown in front of the audience, but no matter how tense and exciting it is, it is just the crisis atmosphere created by the story itself, and the special effects shooting methods used in it are actually very few, but because the director used these special effects clips just right, it did not reduce the sci-fi sense of the whole movie.
The story is well told, and the special effects are used to embellish the story, which is what a real science fiction movie should have.
Just like "First Blood" made Stallone, this movie also made Schwarzenegger and director Cameron, before this movie came out, the two were not very happy, until this movie, especially after the release of the second part, Schwarzenegger and Cameron are truly famous all over the world, one has become a world-renowned action star, and the other has become an international director.
Anyway, if you make a movie by yourself, sooner or later you will have to get involved in the field of science fiction, and since Ma Cheng came to ask for himself, it can be regarded as taking advantage of the trend and taking this opportunity to get this movie out.
Although Ma Cheng said that money is not a problem, the filming of the first part of the Terminator series actually doesn't cost much money, and it's only a few minutes of special effects shots, so how much can it cost?
It's not until the second part that the real money begins.
Guo Dalu calculated that the budget of the whole movie is about 2.15 billion, of which 100 million yuan is his salary, and the rest is the cost of shooting.
Although 100 million yuan is a lot, in terms of Guo Dalu's current status, it is really not much, and even a little less, after all, the remuneration of those little fresh meat in China has reached forty or fifty million, and the income they have created, compared with the income created by Guo Dalu, is not worthy of Guo Dalu's shoes.
Originally, in the Chinese film and television industry, the highest salaries were a few Xiao Xianrou, but since Guo Dalu was born, the highest salary has become Guo Dalu, Wang Xiaolu, Song Qingyun, and even the salaries of Huang Jing, Zhang Ran and others who filmed Condor and Condor have also risen wildly, and Chen Long, who became famous for an action drama, has also caught up with Xiao Xianrou.
And the most important thing is that these popular actors with high salaries are all picked up by Guo Dalu!
Even the actors who have been picked up by themselves have reached this point, Guo Dalu and Wang Xiaolu and his wife are even more comprehensive in terms of film and television income, and the assets of all the companies of these small fresh meat are not as good as the profit income of Guo Dalu's movie.
This is the horror of Guo Dalu.
As far as Chong is concerned, Guo Dalu offered 100 million yuan for his salary, which is really a conscience price.
"150 million?"
When he saw the budget reported by Guo Dalu, Ma Cheng's eyes widened, "So little?"
He looked at Guo Dalu with a worried face, "Master Guo, I know that making science fiction movies is very expensive, you can't reduce your budget just to save me money." You know the foundation of our company, we are not short of money!"
He patted his chest and said: "Guo Ye, as long as the budget is controlled within 500 million, you can do it casually! I have already reported this project to Chen Dong, and he is very supportive after listening to it, Guo Ye, money is really not a problem!"
Guo Dalu scolded with a smile: "Fuck, other people are afraid of spending a lot of money when they make movies, but when they come to you, they are afraid that they don't spend too much, Nima, you guy is really a cheap person!"
Ma Cheng said with a smile: "Didn't I hear that this science fiction movie is a very money-burning industry, and it seems that it costs tens of millions of dollars to make a science fiction movie abroad, and when converted to us, it will be at least four or five hundred million." People already have a very mature production team for shooting science fiction movies, and they still have to spend so much money, not to mention a mature special effects team in our country, even professional special effects companies are pitiful! If you really want to engage in science fiction, the cost of special effects production alone will cost a lot of money, right?"
Guo Dalu glanced at Ma Cheng and sighed, "Nima, I think you have similar ideas to many domestic filmmakers, as if you can make excellent science fiction films as long as you spend money! You don't have a good script, a good idea, no matter how rich you are, what kind of bullshit can you make?"
Ma Cheng nodded, "Yes, yes!"
Guo Dalu said: "This is the case for making science fiction films, and the same is true for other movies, there is no good script, there are no suitable actors, just thinking about using money to smash it, it will never be able to make a good film!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Some filmmakers are like this, they always have that light effect, use special effects as gimmicks, and the whole movie is special effects, and there is no plot at all, is there a way to watch this movie? No matter how much money is invested, it's not a piece of?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ma Cheng didn't dare to refute Guo Dalu's words and said yes one after another, but in the end he said cautiously: "Why don't I add a little more money for you, in case it's not enough!"
"Get out!"
