Chapter 480: The Internet Age!

Originally, He Yun was still full of expectations for TVB, but when a news reached his ears, he suddenly had the idea of terminating cooperation with TVB.

If not for anything else, but for one.

He will never allow TVB to shoot in the local studio in Xiangjiang.

In fact, TVB already has its own filming base, but because of the limited area of Xiangjiang, it is basically difficult to build a large venue.

On the other hand, the mainland is different, there are many places of interest and historical sites in various provinces, landscape gardens, and any scene can be found, and the effect of shooting is naturally extraordinary.

After all, live-action shooting, even if it is placed in the era of special effects against the sky in later generations, it is also a work of conscience for the audience.

Of course, although live shooting is conscientious, it also costs money, and TVB has always made a lot of money from small productions.

For example, the classic 95 version of "The Condor Heroes", some people on the Internet complained that the waterfall was too fake and built with plastic film.

It can be seen that in the selection of scenes, TVB generally rarely uses exterior scenes.

And He Yun's work "The Rise of the Great Qin in the Bright Moon of the Qin Period" is a big scene at first glance, just those war scenes, you need a large number of extras, and you have to find a scene that only existed during the Qin Dynasty, such as the Qin Palace, which was a building before the Qin and Han dynasties.

The real Qin and Han Dynasty buildings are definitely impossible to find, but that doesn't mean there is no way to solve the problem of the scene.

In fact, in the mainland, there is a film and television base that is very qualified.

This is the film and television base in Wuxi.

Wuxi's film and television base, the full name should be called CCTV Wuxi film and television base.

Listening to the name, you will know that this film and television base was first built because of CCTV 2.

At that time, it was 1987, and CCTV was going to shoot "Journey to the West", so it began to plan a film and television base by Taihu Lake in Wuxi.

Later, when "Tang Ming Huang" was filmed, Tang Palace and other buildings were built, and in 1994, during the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the "Three Kingdoms City" in Wuxi Film and Television Base was also built one after another.

In other words, there are already buildings imitating the Three Kingdoms period in Wuxi.

The Three Kingdoms period is close to the end of the Han Dynasty, and the architecture of the Han Dynasty is roughly the same as the buildings of the Qin Dynasty, so if you can take some scenes there, it will be a qualitative leap for the whole drama.

Of course, then again.

If this drama wants to be filmed there, in addition to the need for high-level coordination, the most important thing is the issue of funding.

After all, big production means investing a lot of money.

But will TVB be willing to invest a lot of money?

This is a question that must be marked with a question mark.

You must know that in the early contract, it was only stipulated that the entire drama would be invested a total of 3.5 million, of which He Yun's Yunyi Film and Television Co., Ltd. invested 500,000 yuan, plus the copyright transfer, it was only 700,000 yuan.

And preliminary estimates suggest that the entire show will have about twenty-five episodes.

Calculated in this way, it means that there are about 100,000 episodes.

It seems like a lot, but in fact, the accounts can't be counted like this, because the production of many large-scale scenes requires more funds than ordinary ones such as literary dramas.

For example, the war scene is the biggest expense of the whole show.

But in this drama, there are many war scenes like this one, and He Yun estimates that there are no less than five.

If you hire more than 100 or even dozens of extras as soldiers like TVB used to shoot costume dramas, the effect of filming can be imagined.

But if you use thousands, the cost is much higher.

After all, TVB is not CCTV, and such a big production will definitely not be able to do it.

He Yun naturally wouldn't agree.

As for computer effects, it's even more incomprehensible.

Today's special effects are not as good as those of later generations, and if you want to make more than 100 people into thousands, or even tens of thousands, it will definitely not work.

"It seems that we have to discuss it with them, at least one or two of the most important war scenes must be filmed in a decent way, and other war scenes can be omitted." After He Yun muttered a sentence secretly, he made a direct phone call to Zhang Lai, who was far away in the Special Administrative Region.

After he explained his intentions to Zhang Lai in detail, Zhang Lai was silent on the other end of the phone.

After a while, he said: "Mr. He, I'm afraid this is a little difficult, do you see if it's ......?"

"Let's talk first! I mean, if you can talk about it, you have to talk about it, and I definitely can't tolerate my shoddy work, and if it really doesn't work, then terminate the contract. ”

"Mr. He, if the contract is unilaterally terminated, we are only afraid that we will compensate millions of ......"

"I understand, that's why I'm looking for you to talk to them, otherwise I will withdraw the investment and only hand over the copyright to them, after all, there is an agreement in the contract, and I have the right to withdraw the investment."

Without waiting for Zhang Lai to finish speaking, He Yun immediately said to him.

"Oh well! Mr. He, I'll try my best! Although Zhang Lai was very embarrassed, he still responded to the matter on the phone.

"Hmm..... You have to pay more attention to this drama, after all, this is our company's first drama, and it must be filmed well. ”

"Okay, Mr. He, I understand! I'll do it. Zhang Lai replied.

After hearing Zhang Lai's response, He Yun told him two more words, and hung up the phone.

..........

Early July.

He Yun successfully graduated with a doctorate.

The moment he got his diploma, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

On this day, He Yun, Wu Yan and others came to the bus station.

They will travel by car to the city of Tsu next door for an exchange event with the science fiction association of Tsu.

Because this matter had been discussed beforehand, no one was absent now.

"That's it! Everybody got on the bus! Don't forget something! Hurry up and get on the bus, the bus will leave in 10 minutes! At the door of the car, a man stood there, waving to everyone.

Hearing this, He Yun immediately stopped chatting with Wu Yan, he greeted everyone, and led the others into the car with Wu Yan.

More than four hours later, they arrived in the city of Jin.

Nankai University, Jinshi.

Here, He Yun and his entourage met with more than a dozen people from the Tianjin Science Fiction Association.

The president of the Tianjin Science Fiction Association is Jing Ge, and at the beginning of the year, he and Guan Haiyan and other seven people prepared to establish the Tianjin Science Fiction Association.

Later, the Tianjin Science Fiction Association grew to the current seventeen members, of which Jing Ge served as the first president.

At the same time, he also participated in the National Science Fiction Association, which was prepared in Kyoto last time.

Therefore, they are no strangers to He Yun and Wu Yan.

"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! ”

At this time, Jing Ge and another science fiction fan pulled a banner and warmly welcomed He Yun and his party.

The two sides shook hands one by one and got to know each other.

Soon the crowd was in a large classroom.

This classroom was borrowed by Guan Haiyan from acquaintances in the school, and before that, he and others simply set it up as the venue for this exchange.

Although it is relatively simple, everyone does not dislike it.

"Sit down, everybody! Have a seat! Guan Haiyan saw that everyone had been standing, so he couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down.

As the oldest science fiction fan in the audience and a member of the Photography Association, he has a special affection for science fiction.

A long time ago, he met the famous science fiction writer Mr. Ye Yonglie, and it was under his influence that he gradually embarked on the road of creating science fiction.

It is precisely because of this relationship that when Jing Ge found him to prepare for the Tianjin Science Fiction Friendship Association, he also wrote a letter to Ye Yonglie, who was far away in Kyoto, asking him to serve as an honorary advisor.

At that time, Mr. Ye Yonglie also specially wrote three words "supernova" for their association.

Later, these three words also became the name of the journal "Supernova" of the Tsu Science Fiction Association.

Of course, these are all later words, so let's not mention them for now.

"As the host, let me start with a few words!" At this time, as the president of the Tsu Science Fiction Association, Jing Ge suddenly stood up, he coughed, and then said: "First of all, on behalf of the Tsu Science Fiction Association, I welcome you all from Kyoto!" ”

"Papapapa......."

Jing Ge's words fell, and everyone immediately applauded.

Seeing this, Jing Ge couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly pressed down with his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said to everyone again: "Today, we are fortunate to be gathered here, I feel very happy, our Kyoto and Jin City are sister cities, and the science fiction fans in our two places are also brothers, before, Teacher Wu Yan and Teacher He's class, I had the honor to listen to ......."

Jing Ge first "touted" He Yun and Wu Yan, and then began to introduce some information about the Tianjin Science Fiction Association.

After that, he turned his attention to the others and said, "In our exchange activity this time, everyone can speak freely, don't be restrained, I'll throw bricks and lead the jade first, huh..... Say something? By the way, let's start with a science fiction chat published in the latest issue of "Science Fiction World"! “

"I don't know if you've read the latest issue of the article called "Galaxy Sentai - The Sea of Stars", I think it's ......."

Jing Ge quickly threw out a topic to everyone, and others joined in the "big discussion".

As for He Yun and Wu Yan, they had a special status, so they didn't speak at first.

However, in the crowd, Wang Jinkang, who is about the same age as Guan Haiyan, opened his mouth to lead to another topic.

I only heard him say: "I heard that the "Science Fiction World" magazine has prepared a science fiction summer camp, has anyone received an invitation?" ”

"I know this, I got an invitation!"

"I got it too!"

Wang Jinkang's inquiry quickly aroused a lot of responses.

In fact, the annual summer sci-fi summer camp hosted by "Science Fiction World" has long been an invitation to many sci-fi fans.

Moreover, many of the people in this invitation are members of the sci-fi fan club.

This so-called "science fiction fan club" is actually the data concentration of science fiction fans across the country after the revision of "Science Fiction World".

As long as you send your basic information to the "Science Fiction World" magazine, on the day of the next issue of the magazine, the magazine will publish the contact information of science fiction fans from all over the country on it, so as to facilitate the contact of science fiction fans across the country.

To put it bluntly, this is a public contact platform.

The names of He Yun and Wu Yan are naturally among them.

"Have you all been invited? Why didn't I get it? Wang Jinkang couldn't help muttering.

At this time, he looked a little lost.

As a science fiction writer who is "halfway home", he only started writing science fiction this year.

However, his first work, "The Return of Adam", won the "Galaxy Award".

It can be seen how strong it is.

You know, before that, he was a mechanical engineer and the deputy director of a factory research institute.

But it is such a "leader" who has become a science fiction writer, and he is also one of the most famous science fiction writers in China since the 90s.

He has created countless works and has won many awards in the field of science fiction.

However, that was all later, and at the moment, he was just a little-known rookie science fiction writer.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he was not invited to the summer science fiction summer camp held by Science Fiction World magazine this year.

At least he hasn't received an invitation until now.

Of course, perhaps for some reason, the invitation letter has not yet been delivered to him.

In short, at this time, he was a little lost.

"Director Wang, didn't you really receive it?" He Yun happened to be sitting next to him, and couldn't help but ask him in a low voice.

"I really didn't receive it, when I came to Kyoto, I didn't receive a letter from Science Fiction World magazine at all, Mr. He, have you received it?"

"I got it, but I still have to see if I will go then, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and the due date is in this month, so ....." He Yun whispered back to him.

"Congratulations!"

When Wang Jinkang heard He Yun's words, he immediately congratulated.

Next, everyone pulled away from the topic and began to talk about some science fiction movies in the United States.

Kyoto's sci-fi fans obviously know a little more about this topic.

After all, many Kyoto science fiction fans here are children of the "system", many of them have parents, and there are many "high-ranking officials", so they can naturally get some movies that are not easy to see.

Of course, that's all a stretch.

Let's go back to the present.

Everyone chatted and chatted, and suddenly the topic was brought to the computer network.

"Teacher He! Teacher He! Tell us about surfing the web! ”

"Yes! Mr. He, when you were in Kyoto before, didn't you say that computers can communicate with each other through something called the World Wide Web? ”

"Well, in fact, before I talk about the term World Wide Web, I want to talk about the Internet and the Internet, the so-called Internet, in fact, is a network of devices that communicate with each other, and the Internet, which is the translation of English Chinese, is a huge network of networks connected to each other, and these networks are connected by a set of standard network TCP/IP protocol families......"

"As for the World Wide Web, it is a collection of documents, images, multimedia and other resources that are connected to each other by hyperlinks to form a network and are identified using a uniform resource identifier......."

"In other words, the Internet is the largest in the broad sense, and the Internet is broader than the World Wide Web.......

He Yun doesn't know much about the Internet, and he doesn't learn this, so he can only summarize what he knows, as well as some things he has seen from magazines or some professional books, which is why he just made this remark.

But in fact, he is only talking on paper, and he doesn't understand what the Internet is at all.
