Chapter 336 Online Drama Concept: "Late Ming"

After hearing about the investment of 180 million US dollars, everyone has greater expectations and more ideas for this movie.

Of course, as some film journalists, their bigger reflection now is to remember in their hearts and think about how to compose the manuscript next.

As for some people who really love movies, including journalists, but also some lucky fans, they are very excited.

Following "Gravity", it seems that a new sci-fi blockbuster will appear in China.

Chen Xi went on to say at this time: "As for the specific content of the story of the movie, the specific background is set in the near future, with the deterioration of the earth's natural environment, human beings are facing the threat of not being able to survive. At this time, scientists discovered a wormhole near Saturn in the solar system, through which it can break the limits of human capabilities and go to outer space to find opportunities to continue life. An expedition team travels beyond the solar system through this wormhole, and their goal is to find a planet suitable for human settlements. On this ship, the expedition members faced a great challenge that had never been seen before, and that the human mind had never seen before......"

Chen Xi's words are basically emotionless, as if they were endorsed.

But now Chen Xi said this, which still makes their blood boil!

Apocalyptic background!

Last Hope!

Wormhole!

Explore!

There are so many attractive factors, but they all come together!

When I think about so many factors, everyone's hearts are filled with a sense of anticipation, and everyone feels that they want to see this movie as soon as possible.

However, the time for Chen Xi to set the file will be the 2013 Chinese New Year, which means that there is still a long time before it is officially released.

This still needs to wait for more than a year for everyone, and more than a year is too long.

Chen Xi's previous films were released quickly, and everyone has formed a certain impression that they will be able to see his new movie soon. As long as you hear the news, you can see it shortly after.

However, starting from "Source Code", Chen Xi's films have always taken a while.

Think about it, after all, this is a movie that needs to be carefully crafted, and it still has to be polished with all your might.

…… After the press conference of "Interstellar" appeared, a lot of news swept China in an instant, and many fans knew the specific information of the movie.

"A big investment of 1.2 billion! It's exciting to think about. ”

"The end times are used as the background, looking for the last hope of mankind, this is really a theme with a strong attraction naturally, I don't know how Chen Xi will shoot it...... Anyway, his movies don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"Another good movie to watch! It's just that it's going to be more than a year and I can't even wait...... I hope they can shoot quickly! Well, don't bounce your ticket. While there was no precedent before, who knows if it would? ”

"Chen Xi's movie is really exciting, listening to what he said is already very attractive! I really hope to be able to replicate or even surpass the glory of Gravity! ”

…… Chinese movie fans are now collectively enthusiastic, and the thought that Chen Xi's new movie will appear in the world soon, everyone's hearts can't help but feel excited.

#星际穿越#也在一个很短暂的时间之内就爬到了围脖的头条上, the search volume didn't take long to break through 100 million!

Chen Xifa's scarf, the comments actually exceeded 100,000 at a very fast speed!

It is conceivable how strong Chen Xi's influence and everyone's expectations of him are now.

After a new film launch. Chen Xi began to plan a TV series plan on a video website, which is actually an online drama.

This web drama, Chen Xi is purely self-produced.

Including screenwriters......

This is all about the preparations.

Chen Xi's preparations are to prepare for some of the next shooting.

Chen regrets that after such a long time. has already given some enough consideration, and he has a certain foundation, and he actually has some eyebrows for his original goal...... And if that time really comes, Chen Xi estimates that he will prove himself with some special movie genres.

Until that time. Chen Xi needs to rely on his own true level.

But if it was really his own movie, which belonged to him completely, then Ye Ling didn't know what would happen. I don't know if I can capture that feeling.

In fact, after so many movie practices, Chen Xi now has a lot of experience and methods on how to make a movie and what kind of movie should be made, but Chen Xi himself doesn't have a good idea of what effect a movie will be, after all, it is easy to talk on paper, and it is not difficult to really shoot.

Chen Xi plans to shoot a historical drama to practice, and it takes a lot of thought and experience.

This historical drama Chen Xi will adopt the narrative style of HBO's American drama "Rome", interspersed with a piece of history with different people at the top and bottom.

As for the choice of history, Chen Xi also thought about it for a long time, and finally chose the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, China's history is so rich that there are so many things worth saying about the past few decades, and it can even be described as magnificent. However, Chen Xi finally chose the end of the Ming Dynasty because he felt that the various conditions at the end of the Ming Dynasty could include almost all the wars, intrigues and other things in China's 2,000-year history.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power and power struggle, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the eunuch party, the struggle within the Donglin Party, the traitorous and loyal people, usually talk about their hearts and minds, and report to the king when they die, as well as the factions of the army who are very greedy but can do things...... Then, in the major forces, Li Zicheng Zhang Xianzhong, the struggle within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the southern warlords......

In just a few decades, all the forces have communicated, and one by one the names that are full of controversy but will leave many years of debate: Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen, Mao Wenlong, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting, and even Shi Kefa Ma Shiying of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and other Dolgon, Huang Taiji, Duoduo, Wu Sangui......

There are too many people who appear intensively in such a time.

In fact, many wars in the previous generation, and even many wars after that, and even the War of Resistance in the Republic of China, can be found in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

A few years can be too much time, too much stuff.

On the upper route, the Manchu Qing Dynasty swept by, and the simple face turned into a conquered barbarian. It doesn't involve too much, after all, the pen and ink are limited.

He mainly described Li Zicheng and others, the court mainly had the description of Chongzhen and others, there were Lu Xiangsheng and others in the court, and the lower-class characters that Chen Xi wanted to describe were soldiers and peasants, etc., in addition to some relatively middle-level people......

These lines are carried out in parallel, depicting the magnificent era little by little.

Chen Xi made this film, more to practice for himself, in preparation for some future movies, and if this kind of TV series really reaches the TV station. may not be able to be released smoothly, and even if it does, it is estimated that there will be no ratings, so Chen Xi simply took the route of online dramas.

It's just that there is still a problem, that is, where does the investment in this online drama come from, if it is only the investment in Deep Space Film and Television, after all, although the company is still decided by Chen Xi alone, there will already be a lot of people involved in the places where the interests are at stake, so Chen Xi does not plan to let too many people get involved. He didn't want the company to suffer a loss, so he planned to take out most of the investment himself.

This kind of TV series, the specifications are still quite high, and Chen Xi estimates that there is a place for war. An episode will cost about 10 million, and if there are no war scenes, an episode will probably cost 3 million to 6 or 7 million, or even more. Chen regrets that he will invest 70 million, which is purely his personal money.

Chen Xi now belongs purely to his own money, and he can access more than 100 million, it seems that it will cost a lot to invest in this online drama.

And this kind of web drama. It is really difficult to recover the cost, and it is almost impossible to do advertising placement, after all, it is basically impossible for costume dramas to do advertising placement (please ignore the 58 city of "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan"), Chen Xi wants to take the route of "Tomb Robbery Notes" in later generations, and try to recover costs by paying for on-demand.

Chen Xi's season is probably set to 12 episodes, and the total investment may be around 80 million, if it is done well and everyone buys it, there will be the next second season, the third season, and there may also be a theatrical version of the big movie, which Chen Xi is planning.

But he reckoned that the whole thing might not be so easy.

However, compared to this matter, Chen Xi still needs to really shoot "Interstellar" well and show the world conquest of this movie.

At that time, if "Interstellar" can get better results than "Gravity", at that time, Chen Xi's theaters and video websites and other places are basically a big business, and at that time, Chen Xi's layout and planning should also be the time for real harvest.

These things have already been planned.

In October, "Interstellar" will officially start filming.

In order to shoot "Interstellar", Chen Xi also made a lot of preparations, and made too much effort in the construction of the scene, in the scene in the spaceship, Chen Xi made a model of the spaceship, in this regard, Chen Xi still spent nearly 60 million to make it, and any place was strictly manufactured in accordance with the concept and drawings.

The studios used to shoot the spaceship scenes of "Interstellar" and the cosmic scenes are the studios used to shoot "Gravity", and in this regard, the two have also had good results.

Except for the spaceship scenes, the other scenes were mainly filmed on the North China Plain, but they chose a place with quite good scenery, which was on the plain, a bit like the cornfield where the original "Interstellar" took place.

But those clips in the cornfield will be filmed around May next year, in fact, in the final stages of filming.

After all, the place where Chen Xi took this clip was the North China Plain, where summer corn is harvested twice a year.

Chen Xi also imitated Nolan in this regard, and also bought a large piece of cornfield to plant, and will start filming on the cornfield he planted when the time comes.

At this point, Chen Xi is still hands-on.

With all these things in place, "Interstellar" is almost ready to start filming, and the film is scheduled to start shooting in the studio, then shoot on the spaceship, then shoot some other things on the ground, then go to Iceland to shoot the alien scene, and finally come back to shoot the part in the cornfield.

It took a long time to plan these things, but after the planning, the shooting was twice the result with half the effort, and the speed was relatively fast.

Movies like "Interstellar" are actually quite strict in many details, and if you don't do a good job in terms of details, it will be really difficult for this movie to make effects.

A lot of the touching parts of the movie are actually trivial, which is obvious.

Starting from October 7th, after a start-up press conference, "Interstellar" officially started its own shooting, and at this start-up press conference, many reporters got a lot of news, including Chen Xi's own outlook for the future of "Interstellar", in such news, Chen Xi feels that the box office of "Interstellar" should be able to surpass the previous "Gravity", and this is also his pursuit.

This kind of news is not surprising to everyone, and even many people think that this is a good thing.

Indeed, this is a pity!

There is basically nothing unsuccessful in what he said, including "Gravity", which many people couldn't believe before, and in the end Chen Xi still won the box office of 800 million US dollars, so the current Chen Xi's new movie is obviously very likely to realize what Chen Xi said now.

In order to be able to accomplish this goal, Chen Xi has also made a lot of changes to "Interstellar", in fact, this may not be better than the original, and may even be worse, but it will become stronger commercially.

Chen Xi thought of a lot of things.

At the beginning of the filming, because of "Gravity" as the basis for the front, "Interstellar" was still familiar with the scenes in space at the beginning, including the places inside the spaceship.

In fact, in the spaceship, the shooting difficulty of "Interstellar" is obviously lower than that of "Gravity", because there are few weightless scenes in it, which is quite rare.

So the filming progress of the movie is also fast.

Giant LED screens, the same ones seen in Gravity, are now used to create reflections on astronauts' helmets.

Chen Xi's filming is basically very satisfied, Liang Chaowei acted very well, the feeling of just leaving his home and leading to an unknown direction, Liang Chaowei really used it to the extreme.

In particular, his eyes are really fantastic, and he plays quite well in many places.

Chen Xi also feels that his casting vision is really not covered! (To be continued......)
