Zhao Mingyang asked Ning Dongsheng to meet with several young directors, all of whom are rookie directors, but none of them have never filmed, but they have never been the chief director, and they have never filmed the scenes of their own nominal chief directors, and two of them are making big online movies, and they have been on the set for many years, and they have not been popular.

It's just that no one wants to let them shoot theaters, when Zhao Mingyang found this group of people, he said that he wanted to make a big production, hard sci-fi, in fact, these directors knew better than anyone what Zhao Mingyang was going to do.

After all, it's not a day or two to be in this circle, and finding a director with no works and no popularity for a big-budget movie is nothing more than wanting to save costs, actors get some traffic, and go straight to the account, a bad movie, but the good thing is that it's easy to shoot.

And the cost of science fiction movies is really hard to say how much, there is no upper limit, because this mainly relies on post-production, and this kind of company, there are only a few in the world, those are the most expensive and professional, but you can register a new post-production company by yourself, and then outsource it to some small companies in the later stage, anyway, just make a sci-fi special effects, commonly known as Wumao special effects.

And this cost is directly calculated according to the world's top companies, in order to look good, can you still cooperate with the world's top companies, let them help make a few props, and then say that the world's top production companies are invited.

This kind of investment is basically one or two hundred million yuan smashed into it first, and the company over there just takes the account and goes away, and directly calculates the operating income.

The directors Zhao Mingyang found have a common feature, that is, they can write scripts, and the things that this kind of director basically shoots can completely restore the integrity of the work.

These people actually thought about what Zhao Mingyang was going to do in their minds, but Zhao Mingyang was a bit too big, and the production cost of a drama would cost five or six hundred million?

What's going on, the director is worried, and the producer is even more worried, so I can only think about how to deal with this.

However, this kind of film is easy to get a high salary, and if you help take the money and leave after filming, the other party will not put too much pressure on the director, just shoot it.

But Zhao Mingyang made them completely stunned in the next second, Zhao Mingyang actually wanted to give them a group of people a script outline and let them create.

This is the biggest taboo, investors participate in writing scripts, so it can only be said that the bad movie is a bad movie, and even the money to buy the copyright of a script is left?

It's a bit too picky, it's too ugly to eat.

And generally this kind of investors think that their literary talent is better than that of literary masters, and it is easy to write that they are moved by themselves, and they will not be in the horse's mouth when they are photographed.

What kind of deception is the most clever, you must first deceive yourself, in order to deceive others.

Zhao Mingyang got up and took a manuscript and said: "I have had a movie dream since I was a child, I usually like to write some scripts when I have nothing to do, of course, I still have self-awareness, if I don't have a decent script, I won't ask you to shoot it, I just want to prove to the world that we can make good science fiction movies in China."

You are all carefully selected by me, I have seen the fire of hope and dreams in your careers, I know that you want to make good movies, who stepped into this industry did not come in for dreams, who wants to make bad movies, right? ….

But the current market environment is too impetuous, and any bad movie is popular, to put it bluntly, in order to make quick money and take accounts, I resolutely condemn this practice, I think this is disrupting the market and sorry for the audience, so I resolutely resist this chaos."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused, didn't he do it to settle the account?

Is it really to make a good work? The mentality of all the directors changed instantly, but it was a headache again, this money seems to be difficult to get, he won't participate in the whole process, right? That's damn, the shooting cycle can change from three months to three years.

Zhao Mingyang looked at them and continued, "What is science fiction? We have to combine tradition and technology, for example, some scenes, we make real scenes, so that there is a sense of picture, the audience is not stupid, you get a model, some are too fake, a fake, we have to be real.

But in terms of special effects, we also want to pursue top-notch manufacturing and invite top international production companies to participate.

Many people will divide science fiction into:

Soft sci-fi, hard sci-fi, this is easy to understand, the audience knows that soft sci-fi pays attention to the low cost of content shooting, hard sci-fi pays attention to the picture, why can't it be combined with high shooting cost?

And science fiction, we want to make our own science fiction, you see the science fiction filmed by foreigners, the content is that, there is no content, but what if we shoot our culture? To shoot a series, it is not too much to shoot more than a dozen of our 5,000-year-old cultural heritage.

This manuscript is polished out by me for ten years, I have repeatedly revised it, I can't say how good it is, but my content is not bloody, and it is to add our traditional culture, and there are science fiction elements, super science fiction elements, brain holes, I'm not boasting, I'm sharpening a sword for ten years, and the work still has some content, but my ability is limited, so I hope you can help me complete an overall story.

I just put forward an idea, just put your name on it, I really don't care about this, and I won't interfere with your shooting, professional things will be done by professional people, I still know this, I just want to make a contribution to Chinese films.

Whenever I see that the current audience supports foreign science fiction movies and belittles our own films, I feel sad, this is because of those people who take the wrong path and think crookedly to harm our film and television drama industry.

This drama, I did it with the purpose of not making money, if one does not make money, I will shoot the second part, until I Zhao Mingyang goes bankrupt, I also want to let this industry and this industry have a glimmer of hope, leaving a pure land for future Chinese filmmakers, and our efforts today may make them take many detours in the future.

Although we may be just a drop in the ocean together, if we don't do it and don't try, we will not be qualified to criticize the people who messed up the market in the future, what is the difference between us and them?

Someone has to stand up, why not you and me, as long as we have a glimmer of hope, we have to try, do you dare to gamble with me.

Don't forget, the first day you step into this industry, it's definitely for the better of the market and for the sake of making great works. So what are you hesitating about?"

Zhao Mingyang's speech instantly ignited the young directors present, and sure enough, young people are the most impulsive and moved, so young people are easy to blow losses and be used as guns. ….

Everyone is eager to see what Zhao Mingyang wrote, what Zhao Mingyang wants is their dedication to others, otherwise it will be seen at a glance what they want to do, it is difficult for Zhao Mingyang not to be targeted, the director can see it, then the work must have coped with the matter, and the audience will have to guess all kinds of things when they see it, and then the relevant departments will check it down the river, and directly find out a one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Do things without leakage, this is the master, will Zhao Mingyang tell them that the real scene is going to Africa to spend hundreds of millions to make a ruin? Anyway, believe it or not, this waste really cost hundreds of millions, and a shovel is 10,000 yuan.

Zhao Mingyang will not let people say that the international production team he is looking for is a lie, he is ready to really set up a film special effects company, and is ready to directly dig up a group of technical personnel at a high price, Zhao Mingyang is ready to use 200 million US dollars to dig up a complete technical team, and then this team is the output point in the future, and the days will be long, it is impossible to do it.

Why do you like movies here again? Three or five hundred million you can do anything may not be used up in three or five months, but you can make a movie, the movie cycle is short, the money is spent after two or three months of filming, and the editing is a waste of time in the later stage, and these hundreds of millions of cash will be divided, which is not easy to check, because movies involve many technical and artistic things, and there is no price ceiling for technical and artistic categories.

In short, spend money that doesn't make people look at it, not what you want to do at a glance.

After Zhao Mingyang was reborn, it was very clear that the audience's glasses were bright, and they couldn't be too fake, if they wanted to think that they had tried their best, they just didn't shoot it well, not just for the sake of accounting, so he couldn't make this a fake movie.

If you make a ruin in Africa, then you must add a story to the premise of a sense of picture, otherwise a ruin will cost hundreds of millions of dollars without a story, isn't it too fake.

Zhao Mingyang's only special effects preparation was placed in the opening and promotional video, and then the first part was filmed and the second was filmed

A large number of special effects were added to the trailer of the part, and when the second part continued to play like this, the special effects were increased one by one.

No, Zhao Mingyang showed his manuscript to everyone.

At a glance, the people present saw that this idea was indeed a bit interesting, but how did it start with Pangu?

Now the myths on the market are also started from Nuwa at most, and most of them also start from the god list, this given by Zhao Mingyang is indeed a bit interesting, he has nothing to do with mythology, but there are mythological elements, and the brain hole is very good.

But it's a little confused, because you say this thing is a myth, he's not at all, you say it's science fiction, it's really science fiction, it's just that this story line is too long, you can shoot a prequel, you can also shoot a postquel, how many will you shoot?

According to Zhao Mingyang's idea, this thing can't be finished in ten parts, and Zhao Mingyang asked one or two people to be responsible for one and start filming at the same time.

The script is roughly as follows, which is a simple background introduction to the story:

"If I told you that the world is a cycle, would you believe it? I'm not talking about the cycle you think it is."

"Pangu opens the world, is there a possibility that it is the opening of a circular world, the earth is originally a highly technological and civilized society, and human technology is more than the present in the past, such as the intelligent biological robot Qinglong White Tiger Xuanwu Suzaku was called a divine beast by later people, they are just intelligent biological robots." ….

"Uncontrolled robots like Gluttony are later known as symbols of evil, and these robots were originally developed by humans on this planet.

Originally, the human beings on this week, called the ancestors [immortals], the ancestors had a war with uncontrolled robots with independent thinking, uncontrolled robots want to rule humans and rule the earth, this group of robots is not traditional robots, they always have bionic bodies, built-in a powerful AI algorithm chip, stored in the brain-computer interface.

They have evolved into another intelligent biological form, and they want to become the masters of this planet, so some uncontrolled robots and humans have a fierce battle, and in the end, humans have won miserably and taken a spaceship to Mars to live, because the earth is destroyed and can no longer survive.

But the same problem happened on Mars, the technology is too advanced, and in the end it is a cycle, human beings keep choosing new living environments, trying to escape this fate, the earth has no ecological environment before, and human beings are trying to repair it, because human beings have found that there is no more suitable human habitation in the universe than the earth, because human beings have found that the earth can actually repair itself, and other planets can't."

"And there are still robots on the earth that have not been destroyed, they are rising, and humans want to come back, and they are even more afraid that these robots will launch an interstellar pursuit, so humans have cultivated more powerful biological robots to fight against intelligent robots."

"Humans have accurately dropped dinosaur eggs to the ground on Mars, and the dinosaur's intelligence system is not set up at the factory, and it has no self-learning function, only one function, which is to destroy all creatures on Earth that are not of the same kind."

"Dinosaurs are very powerful, and they quickly wiped out intelligent creatures, but their power is uncontrollable, and they want to destroy everything with absolute violence, even the earth, and not all intelligent robots on the earth hate humans, such as unicorns and rosebirds."

"They are actively communicating with humans and giving back information, and in the end, humans on Mars have developed another uncontrollable creature because of powerful technology, so to speak, and it can be said that after repeated mistakes, humans must choose a new place to live again."

"The earth is the only planet that human beings have found that can repair itself, and this is where human beings ultimately belong, but dinosaurs are a problem, so human beings have dropped a missile on the earth that can destroy the ecology in an instant, the missile code name Pangu, so that the earth can be repaired again, so that the dinosaurs will disappear."

"Human beings feel that strong wisdom will sooner or later make human beings self-destructive, human beings are born with powerful intelligence, everyone is a top scientist, in order to prevent human beings from self-destructive, human beings decided to let a group of people cut off or hinder this innate function, so that human beings can start from scratch, the same intelligence as animals."

"This group of humans who have been sealed in intelligence are a group of wisdom who are in charge of this project, codenamed Nuwa

After the robot was brought to the earth, and after returning to the earth, the ancestors asked Nuwa to tell humans some misleading information, that is, don't tell humans that there is science, don't let humans make inventions, and make humans believe in myths, otherwise it will be another endless cycle."

"A new history of mankind is unfolding, but the innate attributes cannot be completely erased, human beings will still create and invent in thousands of years, but this technology is basically the state that the ancestors wanted the most, just like the gap between the oldest telephone landline and the latest smart phone, it is best to permanently stop in the landline era and can no longer evolve." ….

"For thousands of years, a group of human beings have been on the earth, a group of human beings have been constantly looking for habitats in the universe, and finally in the past hundred years, the seal of the descendants living on the earth seems to have been lifted, and they have regained their high intelligence again, and they have completed some things that they could not have imagined before."

"In the end, future generations will explore the universe again and study intelligent beings again, the only difference is that the ancestors in the universe don't want this to happen, so they have to start all over again, and the most terrible thing is that these descendants don't want the ancestors in the universe to come back, because the humans on the earth believe that the humans in the universe are aliens and dangerous existences."

"Human beings and human beings have once again had contradictions, the ancestors in the universe have reached the point where they have nowhere to go, and now the only place where they can survive is the earth, but the earth cannot accommodate such a huge group to return, and more importantly, who has the right to speak?

Is it the head of the various departments of humanity in the universe, or the leader of humanity on Earth?"

"It's all about to unfold, so stay tuned."

「「「「「「「

A group of people looked at this script for a while, and their brains were okay, but how to shoot it?

This script is a bit big, I don't know where to start, everything in all myths and stories can be combined with science fiction, but how to shoot this is a problem.

Zhao Mingyang looked at them and said: "That's the idea, I'll give you an idea, in the first part, we will first shoot Pangu to open the world, everything will return to zero, and then how the Nuwa biorobot will return to the earth with weakened intelligence to start from scratch, the contradictions between this group of humans and the creatures who have survived on the earth, and the battle of wits and courage of the few intelligent biological robots that have not been completely eliminated.

In this part, we filmed the opening of the Chinese civilization, and then in the second part, we filmed how the high-civilization human beings on the original planet forced themselves into a desperate situation step by step, and I thought about the third to the sixth part, the human beings in the universe developed a time machine, and wanted to go back to the time machine before human beings entered the era of science and technology, and killed several scientists who changed the world, starting from the period of the four major inventions, and then the modern people who lived on the earth discovered this secret, and went back to fight to the death with the ancestors who came back from the universe to stop the earth catastrophe, If necessary, we can restore some of the buildings of the dynasties, and we will also ask history majors to help us restore the costumes and props of these periods on a one-to-one basis.

As for the seventh part, I have thought about it for you, just shoot the human crisis, it turns out that the Nuwa robots are still on the earth, and they were instructed to destroy the earth and start over, and this group of robots has their own thinking, and they are unwilling to destroy the earth, and fight side by side with the descendants on the earth against the ancestors.

Let's do these first, and then we're thinking, what do you think?"

Other people looked confused, and they were still rushing to shoot seven films, but what kind of shooting technique is this, after shooting, before shooting, and then shooting in the middle, and finally according to this, it is very good to shoot before and after, infinite loop?

And it's basically shooting people and people fighting, and there's nothing that needs special effects, but this is 100% a science fiction movie, so it's a bit vague, and the production cost is high, right? It's very high to get some robots out.,After all, you still have to get dinosaurs.,But it doesn't feel like it's much cost.,It's always mostly a picture of characters.。 ….

Zhao Mingyang wants this effect, the first part of the ruins consumes hundreds of millions, the second part uses some technology to get some special effects, and adds money, and the third part can spend money to rebuild the real scene, many movies build a city out of thin air, this is the fastest way to settle the account, Zhao Mingyang means to shoot three films a year.

At the same time, everyone is responsible for one, act together, and finally hand it over to the editor, edit the first part first, and then edit it slowly, anyway, he has to dispose of the money quickly.

"Is the actor a big name or a newcomer?

？」 Someone asked.

"Daotian Entertainment has ready-made, there are enough actors, one for one person, three must be completed this year, it's as simple as that, we can't wait, Chinese movies can't wait, we have to act quickly.

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you can, and future filmmakers will thank you, and I thank you for them." Zhao Mingyang bowed deeply to the person in front of him.

This bow is to increase their sense of mission and moral kidnapping, how good it can be filmed, how good it is, and it is best to be popular, and if it is not popular, others can see that this is a movie that takes the account.

The reason why three films were made is to avoid others saying that the purpose of this movie is to take the account, and no one will doubt that no one will doubt that they have made three films, and they spent the money at one time, spending more than ten or two billion first.

This money can also enhance the value of actors, and Zhao Mingyang is a win-win situation.

"There's another question, does this movie have to be filmed abroad?"

"Yes, the first part must go out, we have to pursue the most primitive state, I have always been meticulous in treating art, I will let people decorate the venue first." Zhao Mingyang said with a serious face.

When he turned around, he asked Ye Chuan to register a construction company in Africa to undertake this project, and asked Gu Yan to register a post-production company and an art design company, mainly responsible for costumes, props and scene construction.

Isn't this money just going out and digesting it internally?
