Chapter 1060: Ten Thousand Years Yan Emperor
After the launch conference, Zhang Ran's remarks immediately became the headlines of major entertainment websites, with the title almost inseparable from the number of 6 billion, "Zhang Ran said proudly: "Full-band blocking interference" will aim at the box office of 6 billion", "Zhang Ran's "full-band blocking interference" teamed up with Cheng Long to talk about the box office of 6 billion" and so on.
Regarding Zhang Ran's statement that the box office of "Full-Band Blocking Interference" will reach 6 billion, the industry generally agrees.
Gao Jun, vice president of Century Peak, said on Weibo: "When "Future Apocalypse" was released in 2012, the number of screens in China was about 24,000. By the time "Full Band Blocking Interference" is released in 2016, the number of screens in China will reach 50,000. The number of screens has doubled, and it is certainly possible to double the box office. ”
Liu Jia, a film market research expert, said: "By 2016, China's annual box office is expected to exceed 60 billion! "Full Band Blocking Interference" box office exceeded 6 billion is not a problem, I think it's time to discuss how far the box office of Chinese films is from 10 billion for a single film, do you think a single Chinese film is still far from a box office of 10 billion?"
Wang Changtian of Light and Shadow Pictures even exaggeratedly said: "As long as "Full Band Blocking Interference" has the quality of "Future Apocalypse", it is not impossible for the box office to hit 10 billion. ”
Cheng Long is not so optimistic about the box office of "Full Band Blocking Interference", and feels that the figure of 6 billion is too exaggerated. When the crew had dinner in the evening, Cheng Long asked Zhang Ran: "Mr. Zhang, do you really think the box office can reach 6 billion?"
Zhang Ran nodded and said: "Of course, it sounds like this number is exaggerated, but in fact it is not exaggerated, and the box office of 6 billion is 160 million people." How many people are there in China? 1.3 billion, on average, is a little more than 0.12 times per capita, which is not high at all. The movie with the highest number of moviegoers in North America in the last decade is "Avatar", with 91 million, while the North American population is 360 million, with an average of 0.25 moviegoers per capita. The number of moviegoers of "Avatar" in South Korea is 13.3 million, while the population of South Korea is 51.25 million, which is almost 0.26. If the per capita number of moviegoers in China reaches this level, then what is the box office? Of course, this is impossible to achieve in a short period of time, but it is not difficult for "Full Band Blocking Interference" to reach 6 billion at the box office. ”
Cheng Long is still a little skeptical: "This movie is a military theme, there won't be many audiences, right?"
Zhang Ran understood why Cheng Long asked this, and said lightly: "Military themes are very popular in China, and the three words of the People's Liberation Army are very important in the hearts of the people. A few years ago, Chen Kexin's "Casting a Name" was against Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number", and at that time, Chen Kexin said that how could the common people recognize a movie made about the People's Liberation Army? But in the end, we have all seen what the result is, and the common people recognize it very much. When "Future Apocalypse" was released, we did a survey, and one of the questions was, if there was a sequel, what would you like to see? 74% of the audience mentioned that they wanted to see the PLA vs. the AI army.
I know that there are many people on the Internet who are scolding the government, and the public elite even shouting that China should be colonized for 300 years. These people shout so loudly and loudly that you might think that there are a lot of such people among the common people. In fact, not only you, but many people have this delusion. Therefore, Chen Kexin will say, how can the people recognize a movie about the People's Liberation Army?
In fact, although many people scold and scold on their lips, saying that the country is not good here and where it is not good, they still hope that the country will be strong in their hearts. The kind of people who want to change into white skin are the minority. Chinese people have a very strong sense of family and country, which is brought to us by Chinese culture, we will be moved by listening to Yue Fei's story, we will cry when we read Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness"; listening to Chen Tang shouting "Those who commit crimes against strong men will be cursed even if they are far away." In fact, it's not that the audience doesn't like to express the feelings of the family and the country, as well as the main theme of the movie, but that the directors shoot it too stinky. The standard of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is quite average, but the box office sold more than 500 million, which is proof. There is no problem with the story and production level of "Full Band Blocking Interference", and the box office will definitely explode. ”
Cheng Long didn't say anything after listening, just nodded silently.
At the end of the dinner, Zhang Ran returned home. After seeing the comments on the Internet, he felt a little uneasy. It's not that I'm worried that the box office won't reach 6 billion, but I feel that everyone is too optimistic about the film market. Now that the box office is only 3.5 billion, the possibility of a single film of 10 billion has begun to be discussed, and no one is aware of the huge crisis hidden under the surface of the prosperity.
Early the next morning, Zhang Ran came to Studio 5. Wu Ershan has not arrived yet, but the crew has already started to get busy. The crew members are all Wu Ershan's old team, most of them graduated from Yaying and Nortel, and they are very professional, so they don't need Zhang Ran to say anything at all, they are all concentrating on their work.
Zhang Ran went to the dressing room to change his clothes, and when he returned to the set, Li Xuejian and Chen Zhanzhan were pointing to the model of the Wannian Yandi in the studio and couldn't help but sigh. There is no one of them today, but they heard that in order to create a real atmosphere, the crew built a spaceship more than 200 meters long in the studio, and came to open their eyes. They knew that the spacecraft was very large, more than 200 meters long, but when they actually walked into the studio and saw the Ten Thousand Years Yandi, they were still startled by the huge spaceship in front of them.
In the story of "Full Band Blocking Interference", the Wannian Yandi is an important clue throughout the story and the key to turning the tide of the battle. In order to create a real atmosphere, in addition to making miniature models, the crew also specially built a 10,000-year-old Yandi. The entire spacecraft is 237 meters long, 73.7 meters wide, and 54.3 meters high, with an area of nearly 9,000 square meters per floor. The crew mobilized 500 location workers and took more than four months to complete the construction work.
Zhang Ran sighed when he saw Li Xuejian, walked over and said, "Don't be emotional, I'll take you to the spaceship to have a look!"
Chen Zhanzhan said curiously, "Can we go in and see?"
Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Of course, it's not a military forbidden area, why can't you see it! Let's go!" After speaking, Zhang Ran took Li Xuejian and Chen Zhanzhan to the inside of the Ten Thousand Years Yan Emperor.
After entering the Ten Thousand Years Yan Emperor, Li Xuejian and Chen Zhanzhan were simply stunned. The spacecraft is equipped with all kinds of equipment, not like the narrow flight cabin of Tiangong-1, but like the cabin of a giant cruise ship, with a very large space. The tables, chairs, and various instruments in the venue are more mysterious and magnificent under the light and shadow. The layout of the spaceship is minimalist, with a cold industrial feel, and the cold style leaves a deep impression.
Chen Zhanzhan looked left and right, his eyes were full of surprise, and sighed: "It looks too real." Those sci-fi films, like "Alien" or something, all feel like this, and this should be the inside of a real large spaceship!"
Zhang Ran said with a smile: "This film has cooperation with the China National Space Administration, and they have sent a team of five experts to guide us. The 10,000-year-old Yandi was designed and laid out under their guidance. Don't look at this as a model, the internal functional areas are carefully divided, there are experimental cabins, resource cabins, escape cabins, etc., and the layout of the entire spaceship is completely designed according to the real spaceship. Experts said that they would never see such a big spacecraft fly into space in China in their lifetime, but they were still very satisfied to be able to design a big spaceship for China to fly into space in the movie, so they designed the spacecraft with great care. Maybe in 50 years, there will really be such a big Chinese spacecraft flying into space!"
When Li Xuejian heard that the entire spacecraft was designed with the help of experts from the China National Space Administration, he couldn't help but say: "You guys are really amazing, even experts from the China National Space Administration have invited them!" and said, "It cost a lot of money to build such a spaceship, right?"
Zhang Ran nodded slightly and said, "It cost nearly 100 million yuan." But it's well spent. After the movie is released, the spaceship will move to the theme park next door and become an important attraction in the park. ”
Li Xuejian and Chen Zhanzhan were shocked to hear that it cost nearly 100 million yuan just to build a model of the spaceship. Spending so much money on a model spaceship is unprecedented in the history of Chinese cinema, and even in the history of world cinema, it is extremely rare.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded, and then Wu Ershan walked over quickly, he smiled at Zhang Ran, and said with an embarrassed face: "Teacher Zhang, I'm really sorry, I'm late!"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's still early!" Zhang Ran waved his hand, and suddenly found that Wu Ershan had extremely thick panda eyes, and immediately smiled, "Wu Ershan, you kid had insomnia last night?
Wu Ershan scratched his head and said: "I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, I didn't fall asleep until almost 5 o'clock, I didn't expect to oversleep as soon as I slept!"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It's not like you haven't made blockbusters, as for it!"
Wu Ershan said embarrassedly: "This is the sequel to 'Future Apocalypse', how many people around the world pay attention to it! I looked on the Internet last night, and there were more than 500 comments behind the news that the New York Times reported on our start-up; and the news of our start-up on Fly rushed directly to the top of the list. How many people around the world are paying attention, can you not be excited!"
Now that Wu Ershan is here, Zhang Ran naturally can't take Li Xuejian and them around to visit, so let them go around by themselves, and then discuss the specific matters of filming with Wu Ershan.
Li Xuejian and Chen Zhanzhan didn't leave, they knew that they were going to shoot Zhang Ran's scene in the Ten Thousand Years Yandi today, and the people and objects in the spaceship were weightless, and they especially wanted to see how the weightless scene was filmed.
After a while, Hu Jun also came. He saw that Zhang Ran was still discussing with Wu Ershan, so he said: "Zhang Ran, I heard that you will be tied up by five flowers and hung on the ceiling, I came to see the excitement, why don't you hang it yet!"
Li Xuejian and Chen Zhanzhan were happy when they heard this, and the staff present also snickered.
The corners of Zhang Ran's mouth twitched, and he scolded with a smile: "What do you mean to be tied up by five flowers and hung on the ceiling, do you think this is playing SM!
Hu Jun laughed and said: "I watched "Earth Attraction" last year, and I felt that the state of people slowly floating in space was particularly magical, so I wanted to know how it was filmed, and I came here today to open my eyes." ”
"Gravity uses two beats in weightlessness, and the part outside the capsule is done through a special light box because it needs to simulate light in space. And the part of the cabin is exactly the same as ours. The corners of Zhang Ran's mouth raised slightly, revealing a grim smile, "Yang Liwei hasn't come yet, and he can't shoot yet." Hu Jun, let's experience the feeling of weightlessness!"
Hu Jun swung his hands straight, and his head shook like a rattle: "I'm too old to withstand the toss, forget about this kind of thing!"
"If you don't experience it today, you have to experience it!" Zhang Ran pointed at the staff next to him and laughed, "Go and pull Hu Jun over!"
The two staff members walked over with a smile and pulled Hu Jun over. Hu Jun didn't resist, just smiled and shook his head: "You are naked revenge!"
"How is this revenge? Let me put it this way, when the movie comes out, we'll move this spaceship to the theme park, and visitors will have to pay for what it's like to experience weightlessness. I'll let you experience it for free, how can it be revenge?" Speaking of this, Zhang Ran shouted to the special effects team not far away, "Put Weiya down, let Hu Jun experience the feeling of cruising in space!"
