Chapter 63: Director Guo is in a good mood these days

Liu Cixin, the original author of Little Wrecking Ball, believes that Chinese people make science fiction films, not only lack technology, funds, and experience, but what they lack most is actually science fiction feelings.

This sentence makes a lot of sense, because in the past few decades of generations, there have indeed been very few science fiction films in the history of Chinese films.

Even science fiction novels are rarely tried, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Cixin's collection is so rare and valuable.

He may not be the first to take the sci-fi path, but he is definitely the first to eat crabs.

However, it is not enough to simply eat crabs in the field of fiction, and the inspired Chinese science fiction people will strive to be the first to eat crabs in the broader field of film.

Guo Fan is one of them.

And Guo Fan's biggest advantage over other directors is that he has this rare science fiction feeling.

"Terminator 2" released in 1991 planted a seed of science fiction in Guo Fan's heart, and the reason why he chose to embark on the road of directing was influenced by "Terminator 2", so it can be said that his ultimate purpose in making movies is to make a science fiction film.

First of all, he made a preliminary attempt at science fiction in his debut novel "The Adventures of Li Xianji".

Then in the second work "You at the Table", a youth romance film, I also tried some fantasy things, but it was later cut.

These two movies can actually be regarded as an accumulation of his directing experience, as soon as he saw that he had almost practiced his leveling, he immediately went to study abroad, and then came back and began to prepare for this little wrecking ball.

The embarrassing thing is that science fiction films are really too money-burning...

So far, as far as Lin Qingyuan knows, the film has been overspent twice during the entire production process, and the production cost has increased again and again.

Every time Guo Fan contacted the CEO of the investment company because he needed to increase the cost of film production, he was very worried and ashamed.

But fortunately, the situation has improved in the past few days, and the reserve funds have suddenly become sufficient.

"So Mr. Wu Jing will come?" Lin Qingyuan and Guo Fan sat next to the monitor, chatting while eating a boxed lunch.

This protective suit is too heavy and thick, so it is not convenient for Lin Qingyuan to simply eat a boxed lunch, which is exactly the same as the injured person who is recovering after being injured.

"Yes, Brother Jing is here in November! The recent finishing touches of his Wolf Warrior 2 have also been handled almost well. Guo Fan's face was uncontrollable joy.

After all, Wu Jing's arrival not only means that this movie really has an actor who can carry the box office, but also means that the additional investment in the small wrecking ball has been settled.

"That's nice..."

Lin Qingyuan was a little envious.

is not envious of "Wolf Warrior 2" sweeping the amazing box office of 5.6 billion, that is his ability, but envy Wu Jing for being able to enter the market as a latecomer.

It's not like he doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the market, unless there are still companies that can suddenly withdraw their capital like Yida and provide an opportunity for him to fill the funding gap, otherwise he really has no money to spend.

However, that Nezha seems to have a very low entry threshold, and you can use this movie to test the water when the time comes...

............

In between plays, Zhao Jinmai held the English textbooks of this high school, leaned next to Lin Qingyuan and memorized the word texts seriously, she officially broke away from the identity of the original junior high school student this month, and entered a key high school in her hometown, becoming a glorious high school student.

Although she was absent from the opening ceremony and military training because of filming, the missed courses still need to be made up for through her own efforts, but she is not in the mood to continue to memorize it for a long time.

It's not that she doesn't like to study, but it's too difficult to take time to study between filming, and there are too many things around her that will distract her, not to mention that after wearing a 60-pound special protective suit to shoot all day, the actor himself is already very tired, so it is really difficult to read the book in this physically and mentally exhausted situation.

"I really can't carry it!"

"If you can't memorize it, don't memorize it, you shouldn't memorize words in such a tired situation, let's rest for a while." Lin Qingyuan comforted the anxious girl.

"But I've never been to a class since the beginning of high school..."Zhao Jinmai also has her own reasons for anxiety, it's been half a month since school started, but she hasn't been to school once, which really makes people panic.

Zhao Jinmai looked at Lin Qingyuan, who was playing with his mobile phone, and sighed secretly.

If only I could be like my brother and not have to go to school, I haven't even met my classmates and teachers for more than half a month after the start of school, and no one will be better than me...

So when will this movie be filmed?

"By the way, my next drama has also been decided, probably starting in December this year." Lin Qingyuan knew that she was flustered, so naturally she wouldn't talk more about the original topic.

"December of this year?" Zhao Jinmai was puzzled: "It means that after you finish filming this drama, you will immediately go to the next crew to catch up, and you don't have to go to school?" ”

Lin Qingyuan was embarrassed: "You know, Nortel encourages students to go out to practice, and I'm already a junior..."

"It seems that Nortel is still comfortable, but I heard that Chinese opera doesn't seem to be so good to ask for leave." Zhao Jinmai put the English book into the small schoolbag she brought to the set.

"Then do you like Nortel, which is good to take leave, or Chinese opera, which is not good to take leave?" Lin Qingyuan took her schoolbag and put it in a clean place, asking casually.

"Thank you, brother, I should..." Zhao Jinmai thought seriously for a while and still didn't get an accurate answer, after all, it's still too early to say this kind of thing, the so-called plan can't catch up with the change, and the goal set now may change at any time according to the actual situation in the future.

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually, whether you choose Nortel or Chinese opera depends on your own ideas, these two schools have their own advantages, and they can't tell the difference."

Zhao Jinmai suddenly remembered a gossip news she saw on the Internet last night and asked, "By the way, brother, are you really related to Sister Ju Jingyi?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Lin Qingyuan frowned, not understanding why she would ask such a question.

"I saw someone on Weibo last night breaking the news that you and her were in love because of the play, and there are photos!" Zhao Jinmai cautiously looked around, and after seeing that no one noticed them, he leaned over to Lin Qingyuan and asked in a low voice, "Brother, I'm a little curious if you guys are real?" ”

"Why are you so gossipy? This is, of course, false. Lin Qingyuan shook his head and laughed, he guessed that most of what Mai Mai saw were celebrity scandals made up by those unscrupulous media for the sake of traffic clicks.

This kind of groundless but very interesting thing he usually reads when he is idle and bored, after all, some of it is quite interesting, but he won't watch it later.

Not because of anything else, but because whenever he sees the gossip main protagonist appear in front of him, he can't help but think about something in his head, which makes him a little unnatural when communicating with others normally.

"Well, I believe in you!"

Zhao Jinmai smiled, as if he was happy for Lin Qingyuan's honesty with him.

"Thanks...", he was a little confused.

The two chatted for a few words, and Lin Qingyuan's assistant Xia Xin walked over: "Brother Lin, come here." ”

Lin Qingyuan glanced at Zhao Jinmai, only to see her smile and wave her hand: "Brother, go ahead, I can just memorize words quietly when you leave." ”
