"Interstellar", which is a name that sounds louder than "Gravity", one is the center of the earth, the other is interstellar, and there is also the word traversal.

When I see this poster, I can also see the feeling of traveling through a vast and infinite universe.

The first person in China's science fiction movies is really Chen Xi.

So far, "Source Code", the idea wins, the plot wins, and the real scenes and the like are not so outstanding.

Later, in "Gravity", the plot is king, interspersed with some thoughts and metaphors, which is shocking and exciting.

So what will Interstellar look like now?

Everyone was staring at Chen Xi.

So far, there are only creators such as Chen Xi and a few other staff members here, and there are no actors or the like who have appeared, so everyone can only wait for Chen Xi to come and disclose it.

Many people feel in their hearts that Chen Xi, this guy, after all, is still well versed in the psychology of movie fans, and always has a bit of an appetizing taste.

He is not like some other directors and film and television workers, who always start to disclose all the information directly when he has a chip for the first time, for fear that people in the world will not know.

These are two different approaches, but the purpose should be the same.

It's just that others really can't learn Chen Xi like this.

If someone says, look at Chen Xi, why his movies are always flocked to by so many people without much publicity, constantly chasing, wanting to pay attention to any bit of news for fear of slipping through the net, so they also have to imitate Chen Xi, so they also began to disclose no news, and when they made movies, they didn't disclose any news, waiting to do hunger marketing. After doing that for a while, they will find that they have become tragic, and no one knows about their movie and does not want to talk about it.

After all, the audience has great expectations for good movies, especially for good domestic movies, and it is also a little unbearable.

So they can't see more good domestic films as soon as possible, but they don't want to see domestic movies cheating.

In this way, there are great expectations for some directors who have always had very good performances. I really hope to see good domestic movies, and I am naturally looking forward to Chen Xi, and I want to know and see his new movies at any of his movements.

It's like a lot of people have strong expectations for the new movies of Nolan and others, and for any new film, they will pay attention to it for a long time in advance.

And the same is true for Chen Xi now.

If it's some other bad movie directors, they naturally have nothing to make people look forward to their new movies, which is a very fair thing.

Chen Xi walked to the front with a few main creators.

But that doesn't include actors.

The actor Chen Xi of "Interstellar" was carefully selected.

There will also be foreign actors invited by Chen Xi for the first time. After all, although China does not necessarily have to be as politically correct as black people, since this is a movie for the world. It's not good that it's full of Chinese actors, and it may cause some foreign fans to be very unhappy.

This foreign actor, Chen Xi still found Matt. Damon, Chen Xi still casts according to the original movie. You know, Nolan's casting eye is needless to say.

Matt Damon has also been trying to transform in some movies in the past two years, wanting to continue the action star image of "Spy", and also have some breakthroughs in acting skills.

This is the case with his "Interstellar" and "The Martian" after that.

After some talk. Matt Damon agreed to the request.

Chen Xi thought a lot about it in his heart, and he also thought a lot about candidates like the protagonist.

In the movie, there are three most important characters. The male protagonist, the adult Murphy, the minor Murphy......

After all, the bond that ultimately connects the movie is the interaction and emotion between the male protagonist and his daughter.

In this regard, after thinking about it for a while, Chen Xi finally decided to use Xiangjiang actor Liang Chaowei to play this role (after "Gravity", Chen Xi's fame was shocked, and he has full choice of stars like Liang Chaowei. ）。

Liang Chaowei can be said to be an actor with better acting skills in the Chinese world, and the charm of his eyes naturally goes without saying.

After some discussion, Liang Chaowei was still very happy.

After all, Chen Xi's influence is there now, since he said that he wants to enter the international film, then there is no need to worry about the box office and global influence, so as long as Liang Chaowei takes over this movie, his film career will obviously usher in a peak.

He took over the filming of this movie, and naturally it was also a matter of course.

As for the little girl, it is a little difficult to find, but Chen Xi has been looking for a long time before, and through various channels, he has also found a relatively good child star.

Eleven years old.

In fact, the fame of this child star is not high, and her acting skills are not superb, but her own true colors are almost exactly the same as the role of Mo Fei in that movie, such a person is naturally very good to play Mo Fei.

Growing up Murphy, this is another important role.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xi decided to use Zhou Xun to play it, and he has also issued a notice, Zhou Xun's acting skills naturally need not be said, and it is not a problem for Zhou Xun to play Mo Fei's aura when he grows up.

…… In fact, although there is not much news about "Interstellar" now, including very little news about this movie in the circle, there are already many actors who are looking for roles.

After all, being able to gain a high reputation overseas and also make a difference at the box office is something that many Chinese movie stars dream of.

Unfortunately, so far, there have been too few people who have actually achieved this.

Some people sound good: they get the opportunity to star in Hollywood blockbusters, but in fact, almost all of them are soy sauce roles, rushing through them, and what is left behind is not glory but a special shame that makes people look hot.

Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi in "Iron Man", Han Geng in "Transformers 4", and Zhang Jingchu in "Mission Impossible 5" are all like this......

Therefore, everyone is really envious of Zhang Ziyi's previous fate!

Although she has always had some international influence, she has never reached the level of "Gravity" at one time.

Now Zhang Ziyi has actually received some Hollywood invitations. And it is by no means Fan Binbing who plays soy sauce like them, but really plays the heroine.

Including Liu Dehua also entered the international vision after "Gravity", which is really attractive to everyone, and now too many people want to have a place in "Interstellar".

Therefore, in terms of actors, Chen Xi can be selected completely, and some actors would rather push away some other things or even come to Chen Xi at the expense of liquidated damages.

There is no way, this is the appeal and influence of Chen Xi now.

There are still many important roles in "Interstellar", and then there is the role of the black man in the original version, Chen Xi decided to play it himself this time.

It was the black man who had aged more than 20 years directly on the plane. Chen Xi felt that he could also act.

Anyway, this role can also be said to be very unimportant.

The image in "Interstellar" is still very different from Chen Xi, because the black man doesn't look very good, and Chen Xi, who is recognized as a handsome guy in China and European and American countries, has a pair of eyes that are also widely praised.

There are indeed many contrasts between the two.

But the choice of a black man to play that role in "Interstellar" is more just for political correctness, so there are more issues to consider in casting, and there is nothing wrong with Chen Xi's image.

On the other heroine, Chen Xi still asked Zhang Ziyi to come. Anyway, she uses it well, Chen Xi feels that there is no problem with her performing, in fact, although this is also the heroine, her importance is still not as good as Mo Fei. In this regard, Chen Xi placed more wishes on Zhou Xun this time.

The father of the female doctor in the movie is the old man who let the male protagonist embark on an interstellar journey, and Chen Xi uses Ni Dahong to play it. Ni Dahong and Chen Xi have already cooperated, and this guy is really good.

In "Ming Dynasty 1566", Ni Dahong plays the role of Yan Song, who is already very old. It's really a three-point shot, the action, the tone, the lines......

Everything is vivid!

He didn't use dubbing, he didn't use anything else, he still played a Yan Song in his eighties so similarly, and there was no problem for him to play the old and dead doctor.

In this way, the main roles are basically determined, and some other roles can also be appropriately adjusted, accept the recommendation of some other companies, and also give a fragrant situation.

Chen Xi has already thought about all these things.

"Interstellar" is a science fiction movie that I have been preparing for a long time, both in terms of script and special effects, and I had a certain idea before "Gravity", compared to "Gravity", "Interstellar" is a story that really describes a future, and it is also a story that describes the future of mankind."

At this time, Chen Xi began to tell you about the initial situation of "Interstellar" before the beginning of the film's press conference.

"The film was going to be the most complicated and time-consuming of all my films, and I was planning to shoot Interstellar in Iceland for about a month. The filming time for the whole film is 7 months. ”

Hearing this, everyone can feel that Chen Xi pays more attention to this movie.

The seven-month filming time is really unprecedented in the history of Chen Xi's filming.

The movies shot by Chen Xi before were of high quality, but the filming time of each one was not long, even "Gravity", the biggest scene so far, actually did not take too long.

And now "Interstellar" is going to be filmed directly for more than half a year, so you can imagine that Chen Xi attaches great importance to this movie.

Chen Xi did not stop narrating: "The total investment of "Interstellar" is 180 million US dollars, which will also be the highest investment among all my films. Most of the investment in the film is for the production of 3D and special effects, and part for publicity. ”

$1.8 billion!

Hearing this, everyone is even more excited!

The terrifying investment of 180 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 1.2 billion yuan, is really terrifying when you think about it.

However, this also makes everyone more suspicious, how much box office does a movie with an investment of 180 million US dollars have to get to recover its cost? It should be at the level of "Gravity"...... But is it really possible to reach the global box office of $800 million again?

A lot of people are worried.

In fact, the real investment in "Interstellar" is about $140 million, which is true, and $100 million of it will be used for publicity.

Unlike the original movie, Chen Xi's "Interstellar" is in 3D format.

In fact, from Chen Xi's point of view, he is also betraying his own ideas.

In essence, Chen Xi also agrees with Nolan's attitude towards 3D: it is not that he rejects new technologies, but he feels that new technologies are not mature enough, so it is better to use more mature films to shoot a texture.

But Chen Xi's version of "Interstellar" can't be like this.

Because he needs a higher box office!

Chen Xi's goal for "Interstellar" is to be a notch higher than the global box office of Nolan's version.

There is still a certain reason for him to think so.

In fact, the original movie of "Interstellar" is not as expected by the previous box office, an important reason is that this movie is felt by some people to be incomprehensible, and some people think that this movie has too many emotional factors, too sensational, and the Nolan in "The Dark Knight" is simply like two people, so the box office of the movie has been greatly affected.

Another reason is that Interstellar is not a 3D movie......

3D movies sell better and box office is easier to increase, and it's not just in the Chinese market, it's actually felt like this in the whole world.

Most people still want to see 3D movies...... Especially the 3D movie of people like Chen Xi.

As for the problem of feelings, there is no obstacle at all, after all, Chen Xi is not Nolan, he did not shoot "The Dark Knight", Chen Xi's "Gravity" is also quite sensational, and there are many emotional parts in "Source Code", so there are obviously not too many people who question him with this in "Interstellar".

Therefore, Chen Xi has greater ambitions for "Interstellar".

Another confidence comes from the Chinese market......

His influence in the Chinese market is actually not comparable to Nolan......

In the Chinese market, Chen Xi even hopes to hit the box office of more than 200 million US dollars! Therefore, now Chen Xi also has the confidence to invest such a high cost.

Now, everyone has a lot of things in mind and has begun to write in their hearts. (To be continued......)
