"Low-budget sci-fi?"

Hearing Stephen Zhao's introduction, the media reporters who came to interview and the fans who joined in the excitement had a lot of discussions.

Stephen Zhao revealed that he was going to make a sci-fi film, and many people began to speculate what kind of sci-fi film he would make, whether it was soft sci-fi like "Ling Duyu", or rhapsodic hard sci-fi like Hollywood's "King Kong", "Dawn of the Era", and "Interstellar Tales"?

In the opinion of most people, Stephen Zhao should make a hard sci-fi with a bit of rhapsody, such as "Interstellar Legends" and "Anno Dawn".

The reason is also very simple, if you want to slap your face, of course, you have to hit it hard, hit it in a high-profile way, and hit it with dignified strength.

But listening to Stephen Zhao's current statement, "Source Code" is not the kind of magnificent interstellar war movie, but a soft sci-fi with ordinary scenes and relying on stories to win, which inevitably disappoints them. But after thinking about it, they were relieved, after Stephen Zhao became famous, he had never been cruel to anyone, even if it was "Round Tank" questioning his novel ghostwriting, Stephen Zhao was forced to fight back and generously accept the public's test. Although Kazuo Yamamoto is arrogant and arrogant and has repeatedly spoken disrespectfully, Zhao Xingchi, a large number of adults, obviously will not make him very ugly.

"Master Xing is still soft-hearted."

"Master Xing is a good man!"

"This is the style of our Chinese people, the mean!"

"That's right, it's like Kazuo Yamamoto's little devil, aggressive, and he doesn't understand the rules at all."

"It's the first time I admire the mind of the star master, this is the master."

……

Soon, many people admired Stephen Zhao and felt that this was the demeanor of a big man.

It has to be said that different identities and statuses will make the same thing bring people different feelings. If Stephen Zhao was just becoming famous now, his actions this time. has long been regarded as weak and deceitful by everyone.

However, Stephen Zhao is not a young man who has just become famous, he is already one of the top figures in the Chinese entertainment industry, if it weren't for his age being really not enough to convince the public, I am afraid that he can now be compared with big directors such as Wang Baogang and Chen Shuluo. At this time, his generosity is a superior demeanor.

But. There are still some people who are very dissatisfied and think that Stephen Zhao is too weak, because in the field of science fiction films, Stephen Zhao is a fledgling who has just come in.

These people thought: "You Stephen Zhao is talented and rich, and you are still so cautious in making a sci-fi film, you are too weak, you should be magnificent, and you can directly use the money to make a blockbuster!" ”

Reporter, Lu Wushi, the new reporter of "Reference Daily", complained beside his predecessor Xia Qingqing: "Sister Qingqing. Do you say that this Stephen Zhao is becoming more and more timid? 4 billion TV stations all say that they will buy it, and any novel written is an income of more than 100 million, and now they want to enter the science fiction market, and they are actually engaged in low cost? ”

"That's why people have become big bosses, and you're still working as a little reporter." Xia Qingqing sneered: "This "Source Code" must be just a test of the waters, and there are still blockbusters to be filmed later, didn't I see that he invested 50 million US dollars in "The King of Kung Fu" co-starred by Cheng Jie, Lin Yunfa, and Zhao Ziyi?" ”

Lu My Master thought about it for a while, and then looked at Xia Qingqing with bright eyes and said, "Did Sister Qingqing receive inside information?" ”

A magic film "The King of Kung Fu". Stephen Zhao is willing to invest 50 million US dollars, and there is no reason why he is not willing to spend a lot of money on science fiction films. $50 million is enough to shoot a sci-fi blockbuster. But Stephen Zhao is about to make a low-budget sci-fi film "Source Code". The meaning is already obvious, this time is a test of the waters, as long as the response is good, there will definitely be a big one later.

Xia Qingqing shook his head: "No, I only know that Red Star Media will shoot a series of low-budget sci-fi films in the future, at least three." As for Stephen Zhao's sci-fi blockbuster. Nobody knows. ”

Lu My Master said "It's a pity", and then didn't speak again, but listened intently to Stephen Zhao answering other reporters' questions.

“…… The name is source code, and in computer science, source code refers to an uncompiled text file written according to a certain programming language specification. To put it simply, it is a source program, a computer language instruction that can be read by humans. As for what I just said about quantum mechanics, the film will refer to it, and extend the concept of parallel worlds. So the general plot of this film, you can understand it as a story in which the protagonist shuttles to a parallel world with the help of a computer to collect evidence and finally solves the case. ”

Stephen Zhao stood on the stage, explained with a smile, and then said: "Some people will think that such a plot is not a big deal, and some people may not understand it, it doesn't matter, when the movie is released, after everyone watches it, I believe everyone will understand, this will be a very wonderful movie, beyond your imagination!" ”

His assurance, few people present except his fans believed it.

If Stephen Zhao guarantees that the martial arts movies or martial arts TV series he makes are good-looking, 99% of the people present will believe it. But science fiction? Forget it, your surname Zhao was different when he first made a martial arts movie.

Many people still remember the troubles when Stephen Zhao filmed his first martial arts movie "East Becomes West".

Stephen Zhao didn't care.

At the end of the press conference, Stephen Zhao announced the filming and release date of the film: "This film is tentatively scheduled to start on April 10, shoot for two months, and is expected to be officially released on July 7." Pay attention to the progress of the movie, you can pay attention to my scarf or official scarf at any time, and release stills, shooting highlights and footage from time to time. Thank you! ”

"Poof!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"What did I just hear?"

"Released on July 7? Is it July 7 this year or next year? ”

"That's too fast, isn't it?"

"What international jokes?"

……

As soon as Zhao Xingchi's words fell, there was an uproar below, many people were shocked, and looked at Zhao Xingchi with a smile on the stage in disbelief, and some people even pinched themselves to see if they were doing it.

Before the movie started, the schedule was booked, which is nothing, because many movies are done like this.

The production cycle of a movie is only two months, which is nothing, and the speed of making a movie in seven days is there. Two months is slow enough.

But what are those movies, and what is Stephen Zhao's "Source Code"? A science fiction film!

A sci-fi film is filmed for two months, is there such a sci-fi film?

Few people believe that a science fiction film can be made in two months. In the impression of most people, science fiction films generally take two to three years. There are many people who sharpen a sword in four or five years, or even a sword in more than ten years.

But now, Stephen Zhao has made it clear that "Source Code" will only be filmed for two months, which is certain, because he has even set a release date, July 7!

"Master Xing, may I ask if the release date is July 7 this year or July 7 next year?"

"This year!"

"Q, can you make a science fiction film in two months?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

"What gives you so much confidence?"

"It's here." Stephen Zhao stretched out his hand and pointed to his head.

"May I ask Master Xing......"

……

In the pursuit of reporters, it took Zhao Xingchi a long time to walk out of the press conference, and then left in a car. Even when sitting in the car. Looking back, he could even see many reporters hanging behind the car and chasing them for a while before they dispersed.

Stephen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but the outside world became a sensation again because of this press conference.

The previous sensation was because Stephen Zhao was going to shoot a science fiction film.

This time, the sensation was because of Stephen Zhao's "wild words"!

That's right, in the eyes of most people, what Stephen Zhao said at the press conference was too crazy. Even to the point of conceit.

"Stephen Zhao is too conceited, right?" Lu Wushi, a reporter from the "Reference Daily", looked at the car that carried Zhao Xingchi away, and was stunned.

Xia Qingqing also frowned. I can't figure out whether Stephen Zhao is too conceited or very confident, but she knows that if the press release is not sent out earlier, she will definitely not have good fruit to eat.

Therefore, Xia Qingqing quickly "snapped" and reached out and hit Lu My Division's right shoulder: "Don't read it, do you want to write a press release?" ”

"Oh oh......" Lu My Master reacted at this time. Hurriedly went to drive.

"A maniac!" In Beijing, after sitting in the office and watching the live video of the press conference, Kazuo Yamamoto coldly spit out four words, and then turned off the computer with a "snap".

On the Internet, there was soon an overwhelming amount of comments.

"I rub. Is this what Xing Ye is going to do? ”

"If you don't die, you won't die, although I am a die-hard fan of Xingye, I also think that Xingye is mostly hanging this time."

"In such a hurry? Rushing to reincarnate? Only by meticulous craftsmanship can we produce high-quality products! A science fiction film, if it is not filmed for a year or two, is it embarrassing to call it a science fiction film? ”

"Two months to shoot? Is this funny or funny? I don't have enough time to choose actors. ”

"Look at the shape of my mouth: hehe!"

"Master Xing is dying, if you don't do it, you won't die!"

"Zhao Xingchi, who has a mouthful of hair, has always looked at him unpleasantly, and now he is becoming more and more arrogant, and he will definitely be planted when the time comes!"

"This movie sounds mysterious, but it's actually a crime-solving film, what kind of calf sci-fi is it? It's also quantum mechanics and source code, isn't it funny? A few people upstairs didn't get the point right, what's so strange about shooting such a miracle film in two months? The point is that this film is not science fiction at all. ”

"The upstairs one is so right, exactly what I was trying to say. In fact, if you understand it this way, Stephen Zhao is quite self-aware, knowing that two months of filming time for such a bad movie is enough. ”

"Come out, take a look, listen, this is your idol. Didn't you say that you were going to make a sci-fi movie? ”

"The brainless fans have already been slapped in the swollen face, like a pig's head, how dare they come out?"

"Enough upstairs, don't be blind if you don't understand, go to Qiandu if you don't understand, Qiandu will tell you what is called science fiction, what is source code, and what is quantum mechanics."

"Ignore those trolls, trolls will just die with a hard mouth, ignoring the facts!"

"Set up a post as proof, when the movie comes out, come back to whip the corpse!"
