Chapter 0404: Layout and Development

For them, the top priority is to change the direction of the wind, from not being optimistic about this movie to touting the movie "You, Me and Him".

Although most of the time it is the media that guides the heat, and the audience follows the trend completely, if you encounter a popular product, then the situation is likely to be reversed.

And whenever this time is also the time for the media to reshuffle, if the media can not keep up with the wind and the trend, but instead work against the public, then it is very likely that the media will no longer have the right to speak, and will disappear from the public's field of vision forever.

Because what they say is no longer believed by the public, the public will feel that the media is not on their side.

The work "You, Me and Him" has such a trend.

Because of the popularity of the movie, there are more and more moviegoers, and because of the high quality of the movie itself, many of the points involved in it are also very disseminated, and there is also social discussion value.

So there is a lot of tap water, and I actively promote this movie to the people around me, so that no matter whether you have watched this movie or not, you can discuss a sentence or two.

As a result, the popularity of this movie has spread more and more, and many people know that there is such a movie, and at the same time, they also have the brand in their minds that this movie is a very high-quality movie.

With such an intuitive impression, it is difficult to do reverse reporting about this film in the media.

When the public sees such a report, their first reaction will not be to say that out of curiosity, click on what this media says to take a look and bring some traffic to this media, but will feel that this media is deliberately looking for gimmicks, carrying out some false reports, and grandstanding.

In such a situation, most of the things that can be presented to the audience on the Internet are naturally touted for the movie "You, Me and Him".

Internet public opinion is harmonious, and most of the audiences who actually go into the cinema offline to watch the movie feel that the trip is worthwhile.

The box office is naturally rising.

The movie "You, Me and Him" not only won the first place at the box office of the day, but also directly won the seventh consecutive championship, and the box office was the first place on the day for seven consecutive days, and the first week was also the first to be the box office champion of the week.

Even because of the other movies released this month, there are basically no ones that can be played, so the movie "You, Me and Him" has been able to book this month's box office champion in advance!

Because the popularity of this movie is too cold, the media basically reported in this direction during this time, and now that the popularity has reached its peak, they look back and suddenly look at the original origin, only to suddenly realize that this movie is a science fiction film.

For a science fiction film to achieve such good results, it is simply the first in domestic film history!

After realizing this, the media began to be this point, and the big books praised this film as the light of domestic science fiction movies.

Praise Xu Hengzhou is a little empty, after all, his movie is indeed a soft science fiction movie, and that kind of hardcore science fiction movie with a big scene is completely incompatible.

In his impression, if he had to say which movie could be called the light of domestic science fiction, then there would only be a small wrecking ball.

The film was remembered by him for several years before filming began.

Mainly because more and more people entered the cinema at that time, and the audience's requirements for movies became higher and higher, most people not only had requirements for the quality of the movie, but also had requirements for the category, and felt that the category of the existing market was too single, which also led to the flowering of movies, brain holes, dramas, and comedy films at that time.

The higher the quality, the more novel the content of the movie, the better, as long as you dare to shoot and the quality can keep up, then the audience will pay.

And Xu Hengzhou had never thought of shooting the small wrecking ball in advance before, because he felt that this movie had too high requirements for the entire market, and it would be difficult for this movie to return to its original cost by relying on the current market alone.

But now the situation is different, and the movie "You, Me and Him" is even more successful than he expected, toppling a large part of the market and igniting the enthusiasm of countless audiences for science fiction movies.

If a hardcore sci-fi movie is released at this time, audiences who have watched the movie "You, Me and Him" will definitely enter the cinema and pay for the next sci-fi movie.

When Xu Hengzhou thought of this, he was a little excited in his heart!

If this movie can be shot in advance, it will definitely play a role in boosting the development of science fiction movies in the future!

Xu Hengzhou has an unusual love for science fiction, and the magazine "Science Fiction World" can be regarded as his science fiction enlightenment book.

He remembers the first book he read about the first story of the sci-fi world, which was about an AI robot.

At that time, he was the first to come into contact with science fiction, when he saw the story described a robot that was artificially created for weeding, and after being abandoned, he actually groped for himself to pretend to be an adult to go to the church to get some daily necessities, but in fact, he was going to the church to secretly steal energy, so that he could continue to "live".

During this instinctive survival period, he was forcibly dragged together by real people as his kind to worship and listen to prayers, and became friends with a naughty but very kind and lovely child.

So little by little, he had humanity.

When one day, the child was reprimanded by his parents and ran out to complain to him, saying that his parents didn't love him, the robot suddenly became curious about love, and he asked the child what love is?

The child couldn't tell, so he asked him to ask the priest.

So the robot asked the pastor, "Although all human beings are equal in the eyes of the Lord and have access to food and love, can the robot also have food and love as a person with equal rights?" ”

At that time, Xu Hengzhou was shocked when he saw this paragraph, and in addition to being shocked, he immediately realized what kind of turning point there would be next.

The priest didn't even answer the question, but the people around him made a noisy noise, and everyone gave the robot a negative answer from what they were saying.

It just so happened that at this time, another troublemaker, who had always hated the child who had always hated being friends with the robot, deliberately ripped off the cloak and hood that the robot had been covering his body.

His rust-laden mechanical shell is exposed to everyone's eyes.

And at this moment, although this robot is still very ignorant, he suddenly realizes that he is indeed just a robot, not a human, and he is completely different from the people around him who were originally friendly to him and made him think that everyone is the same kind.

This realization made him feel lonely for a moment, and for a moment a shame came over him, and he suddenly covered his eyes to prevent himself from seeing other people, despite the fact that his eyes were long on the top of his head and could rotate 360 degrees, and he could continue to see other people through the hand covering his eyes as long as he wanted to.

But he didn't want to.

Not only did he not want to see the others, but he also did not want the others to see him, so he covered his eyes, covered himself with his cloak again, tightened the edges, and hurried out of the church under everyone's gaze.

He didn't understand what was wrong with him, but there was something inexplicable that allowed him to overcome himself, and for the instinct to survive, he would rather give up getting energy than go to church again......

Xu Hengzhou recalled the ending of this story, and felt a little emotional, feeling that sometimes some literary works presented in words are more cruel than the stories presented in the movie screen.

Like the story of this robot, this robot doesn't figure out what love is in the end.

But when he was regarded as a heretic by the locals, and was smashed and dismantled, at the last moment, a little boy ran out of the locked house, stumbled along the way, and finally reached the place, but was stopped by his parents and hugged him, preventing him from passing.

It wasn't until the robot was completely dismantled that the crowd besieging him gradually dispersed, and the little boy broke free from his parents and ran in front of the robot......

Xu Hengzhou entered the sci-fi pit because of this story!

But it is precisely because of this story that his understanding of science fiction is not just those hardcore science fiction, but he likes those stories where science fiction and humanity complement each other.

Officially because of this, "You, Me and Him" will become such a story with more humanity than the original version under his changes.

In Xu Hengzhou's view, in addition to the hardcore sci-fi content, the entire text and plot are also very moving.

Xu Hengzhou feels that except for the unfavorable factor that the film cannot be recovered due to the high cost of film production, even if the film was released a few years ago, it should be able to achieve a very good response.

Thinking about it this way, he wants to shoot this movie even more, and if he wants to shoot this movie, then the first thing to consider is to buy the film adaptation rights of the original film of this movie!

The original version of the film has actually been published for two or three years.

This book doesn't sell particularly well.,If you buy the copyright now.,It's estimated that you can still pick up a big leak.。

Xu Hengzhou knows the current situation of this film because it was originally published in the magazine Science Fiction World.

The first time he saw the content of this film was from a magazine in the science fiction world, not through a movie.

It can be said that it can be regarded as a complete original party, so when he first heard that this was going to be made into a movie, he was very surprised on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was very worried that this film would be smashed and completely detached from the original work.

Fortunately, the final result was gratifying, and the sci-fi he liked was made into a very good sci-fi movie!

Xu Hengzhou couldn't wait to ask the people in the studio to contact the author of "The Wandering Earth", and at the same time contacted Xie Tingfeng.

The reason why Nicholas Tse was contacted was mainly because the other party's special effects company was doing a good job now, and Xu Hengzhou thought that instead of contacting foreign special effects companies, it would be better to see if there was an opportunity to cooperate with Nicholas Tse.

However, the first thing to cooperate with is not the movie "The Wandering Earth".

Xu Hengzhou is planning to contact Nicholas Tse to see that the other party is not interested in animated movies, and wants to cooperate with the other party to make Nezha this movie and make special effects related to this movie.

If the cooperation is good, further cooperation can be carried out on the movie "The Wandering Earth" during the cooperation period.

And whether it is "Nezha" or "The Wandering Earth", he plans to make 3D versions of these two movies, which involves more special effects.

If possible, Xu Hengzhou even plans to try to set up a special effects company studio himself, and then work with Nicholas Tse's company to produce special effects.

Xu Hengzhou thought that in the future, more and more film and television dramas would strive for excellence, and they would use all kinds of special effects for big scenes, and he felt that this could still be done.

However, at present, his special effects studio is mainly to meet the needs of animated films that may be filmed in the future, in addition to Nezha, there are actually many animated films that he is very interested in.

After all, something like a Chinese comic movie, if it can really be done, it's still very enthusiastic!

Here, Xu Hengzhou contacted Xie Tingfeng, and asked him directly if he could build a studio on his own side and send him over to learn from him, and by the way, they would work together on an animated film project.

Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, the two of them still have a connection during the New Year's holidays, mainly because their personalities are unexpectedly quite compatible, so at this time, not only Xu Hengzhou is gone, but Nicholas Tse is even more gone.

He immediately agreed, and then put forward his own needs, wanting to put a lot of money on Xu Hengzhou's animated movie.

Of course, Xu Hengzhou readily agreed, he actually didn't mind that others would invest in his new movie with him, this thing shared the risks, shared the benefits, and made the cake bigger, isn't it good for everyone to eat together, and it won't take long to eat alone.

He has always adhered to the idea of win-win cooperation to do things, but the problem is that he wants to attract investment, but he can't, people think that what he shoots is unreliable, and he is unwilling to invest.

As a result, in the end, Nicholas Tse has a vision, knowing that his animated movie will definitely be a hit, so he rushed to invest, so if he didn't knock a penny, it would be a big loss.

Xu Hengzhou was unceremonious, and said: "120 million is not too little, 3400 million is not too much, 5600 million is just right, 700 million 800 million, I will definitely make a blockbuster for you!" ”

Nicholas:......

He was silent for a while before he said, "You send me the script to read." ”

Xu Hengzhou: "The script hasn't been written yet, and now there is only half a picture book, I'll scan it for you?" ”

“…… Yes. ”
