Gu Miao's people were numb.

As soon as he received the invitation from Du Hao, he put down his work and went to Zhonghai to attend the premiere of the movie "Starfall".

The result......

What did he see?

In order to save "cost" and production cycle, the "special effects scenes" and "smelly and long" literary and dramatic plots have been greatly reduced.

Isn't that disgusting!

The finished effect of the movie is not the same thing as the script he saw at the beginning.

The "big scene" mentioned in the script did not appear at all. The "alien fleet", the core of the whole film, has never even shown its face once.

Science fiction?

There are not even a few special effects shots, and it keeps telling how the protagonist quarrels with his ex-wife, reminisces about the past, and then "gets back together". It is also more reasonable to say that this is a "romance movie" than a science fiction film.

"I'm so disappointed, I'll knock!"

Huang Kun, who accompanied Gu Miao to attend the premiere, couldn't help but muttered after watching it: "After watching it, I'm stupid, what about the alien fleet?" ”

Truly!

Everyone rushed to the name of "domestic sci-fi savior" and bought tickets to watch the movie, but the sci-fi didn't see it, but was fed a mouthful of dog food by the male and female protagonists, who can accept this?

It's not just Gu Miao.

In fact, most of the people who attended the premiere had similar thoughts. I think the movie "Starfall" is a bit "selling dog meat on the head of a sheep".

The word of mouth exploded at the premiere.

As a well-known film critic left a message on social networks: If you want to watch science fiction films, then "Starfall" will probably disappoint you! If you want to watch a romance movie, then this movie is not the best choice either.

The box office stats have not been updated yet.

But Gu Miao heard that many theaters have begun to complain that the attendance rate of this movie is not high, and the film scheduling rate needs to be lowered.

It's only the first day of release!

I have to say......

Although before this, Gu Miao had expected that "Starfall" directed by Du Hao would not have any good results. But he really didn't expect that the final product would be like this.

At first he thought.

The "science fiction" movie that was made in four or five months may have terrible special effects, probably not as good as "Zhonghai Fortress", after all, the time is too short.

But Du Hao is really a clever ghost!

He probably also understands that the special effects are limited by time, so they should not be able to do it well. Then just cut off the special effects shots, and the problem will be solved?

"You're so smart......"

After the premiere, Gu Miao saw Du Hao with a haggard face, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "This is the first time I've seen such a sci-fi film." ”

"Laugh if you want."

Du Hao shook his head and explained: "I did underestimate the amount of money needed to make a science fiction movie, so this kind of problem will occur. ”

He did his best.

It's true that there is a lack of financial resources to make so many special effects shots. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely not spend "his own" money to make a movie.

It's a bottomless pit!

"Do you think I want to release it so soon? It's not like I'm forced to do it! ”

Du Hao said helplessly: "The crew has no money, and they almost can't afford to pay for the group performance lunch." If it is not released again, I am afraid that the movie will not be finished, so I will go to the overpass to ask for food first. ”

"Ah......h

As soon as he said this, Gu Miao also understood a little. It turned out that there were few special effects shots and a short production cycle, all because Du Hao had no money.

It really can't be helped.

It can only be said that whether it is a film director, a TV series director, or even an animation director, it is best not to use your own money to film unless it is absolutely necessary.

No, Du Hao was fooled!

"Eat a trench and grow a wisdom."

Gu Miao comforted: "In the future, I will honestly receive my salary, get a share, don't think about investing myself." The film industry is too deep, you can't grasp the ......"

"And you're still involved?"

Du Hao rolled his eyes and said, "I've heard that you asked for several film distributors at the premiere, as well as the contact information of the theater representative." ”

"Wanbao also wants to make a movie?"

"Hmm." Gu Miao nodded.

It's not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell Du Hao.

Anyway, in the area of animated films, Wanbao will have to get involved sooner or later. Now contact the publisher and the theater party, and also build a good relationship in advance to facilitate future admission.

"It's a pity."

Du Hao sighed: "You are engaged in animation, not live-action movies." Otherwise, I won't be able to eat one day, so I can go to you. ”

"Welcome!"

Gu Miao, who had been waiting for him to say this, clapped his hands and smiled: "Wanbao doesn't make live-action movies, but live-action TV series, online dramas and stage plays can be done!" ”

"Huh? TV series? ”

Du Hao wondered: "It's so decent, why do you want to make a live-action TV series?" This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Wanbao's business, right? ”

"Who said it wouldn't be touched?"

"Do you remember Sailor Moon? I mentioned to you before that the magical girl-themed animation that aired on Neon! ”

Gu Miao explained: "I discussed it with Ma Kui and thought that this animation could be remade into a live-action drama. ”

A live-action version of Sailor Moon?

Hearing this appalling idea, Du Hao subconsciously felt that this was very nonsense, there was already an animation, why remake a live-action drama? Can a real person be beautiful with a two-dimensional paper person?

But think about it......

It doesn't seem like it's impossible!

Many of the animations with the theme of magical girls have been remade into live-action dramas, and there are many successful cases. Gu Miao has this idea, which makes complete sense logically.

"What do you mean......"

Du Hao hesitated: "Do you want me to help you shoot this live-action version of "Sailor Moon"?" ”

"That's right!"

Gu Miao said sincerely: "You are very talented, but this talent is not suitable for movies, TV series may be a good stage, what do you think?" ”

He also watched Starfall.

Admittedly, this is indeed a failed film. But the composition of the picture is great, the lens language is very exquisite, and Du Hao does have strength in filming.

That's why he sent out the invitation.

"Let me think about it."

Du Hao didn't agree, nor did he directly refuse, he just said: ""Starfall" has just been released, and no one can say what the future will do. ”

Plainly.

He is still not dead set on live-action movies, and thinks that "Starfall" still has hope of turning over.

Not to mention completely turning over and recovering the production cost, as long as the box office can make him take back a mouthful of blood and not go to the street to ask for food, he will not easily transform and shoot a live-action version of "Sailor Moon".

In this regard, Gu Miao did not force it.

In his opinion, Du Hao belongs to the heart of the Yellow River who is not dead, and his current persistence is just a meaningless struggle.

Anyone can see it.

In this Chinese New Year, "Starfall" is definitely the first movie to go out. Filming this ghost look, the box office results must be very dismal.

If you talk to him in a month, you will definitely not refuse.
