"You can really do it, you went to Hollywood and didn't make movies, only played women?!!"

The next day, the internal screening hall of Zhouyi Building.

As soon as Gao Fei sat down, Ning Hao, who arrived early, couldn't help but say half ridiculed and half sighed.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Zheng, Chen Sichen and others in the screening hall couldn't help but nod their heads thoughtfully.

Ning Hao's words can be regarded as speaking to their hearts, if they are replaced by them...... Made, they want to pick on America too!

Thinking of this, several LSPs in the room suddenly glanced at each other tacitly, revealing a look of regret.

After all, most of the directors are emotional.

It's just that Gao Fei was not surprised by their reaction.

Because in the past few days since he came back, he has met a lot of such pink eye patients.

Therefore, Gao Fei not only did not restrain himself, but laughed loudly with a smug face:

"How can the Oscars be as important as the beauty!"

"There is a living beauty lying on the bed, why should I pursue that cold dummy!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly had nothing to say, and they could only report the middle finger together!

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's start when everyone is ready!"

Jealousy is easy to make people unrecognizable, and Goofy is too lazy to bother with a group of greasy middle-aged old men.

So after suppressing this group of guys with his backhand, he asked the staff to start the screening.

Seeing this situation, Guo Fan, who had been sitting next to Gao Fei, suddenly couldn't help but tighten his body, and then took a deep breath, confidently and nervously began the long wait.

Because today's test screening is for him.

……

It is said that the directors who joined Zhou Yi in the same batch as Guo Fan, so far he is the only one who has not released any works.

The rest, such as Wu Jing, Chen Sichen and others, handed in their answer sheets sooner or later, some of which were good and some were bad.

But it is precisely because of this that Guo Fan is under a lot of pressure.

After all, except for Xiao Yang, a rookie, almost none of the other directors' films can be described as successful, but can only be said to be very successful.

If their wave of directors is regarded as the first class of Chinese film directors, then the gold content of this class will be terrifying.

It's just that Guo Fan can't help it, who let him choose a science fiction movie, and it is also the kind of industrial production that focuses on science fiction.

So in the past year or so, he can only be patient and slowly polish, and he doesn't dare to be impatient at all.

From the initial design concept drawing, to the specific art design style in the later stage, and even the most critical prop production.

Guo Fan participated in almost the whole process.

It's not that he doesn't worry about others, but that there is really no such heavy science fiction movie in China so far.

It can be said that everyone has no work experience, so they can only rely on Guo Fan, the director, to make the decision, and they are groping forward.

In this way, Guo Fan's nerves naturally did not dare to relax for a moment.

He was afraid that he would be a little negligent, so he made the movie like "Cyborg".

So just like that, as the familiar and unfamiliar pictures flashed on the big screen, the movie was finally coming to an end.

Because it is an internal test screening, everything is simple, and what opening and ending have not had time to do, it is just a simple movie clip.

It's just that when the last shot slowly dissipates and the dim screening room lights up again, the whole room falls into an inexplicable silence.

This made Guo Fan's heart suddenly tighten, and his nerves were tense to the extreme.

To be honest, if Gao Fei shook his head now, Guo Fan would really be scared and faint.

Fortunately, Gao Fei didn't do any pranks, and after reminiscing for a while, he immediately patted Guo Fan's shoulder excitedly.

Seeing this, Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, and even asked a little blankly:

"It's finished?"

"It's done!"

"Congratulations, you have personally opened the door to Chinese science fiction movies!"

As soon as Gao Fei's words came out, Guo Fan was stunned for a few seconds, at a loss.

Then a seven-foot man with five big and three thick eyes actually cried like this in front of Gao Fei's face.

Although he still gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of tears.

Seeing this, several directors in the screening hall couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Because no one knows better than these directors how difficult it is to shoot a heavy sci-fi movie in China!

To be honest, there were many directors in China who had this idea before Guo Fan.

Even many directors are much stronger than Guo Fan in terms of qualifications, connections and resumes.

After all, before "The Wandering Earth", he also made a campus love movie.

But after these seniors tried, they finally gave up in the face of the dark road ahead.

So, only his stupid boy persevered to the end.

But then again, compared to the physical hardship, the mental pressure made Guo Fan feel tired.

Thankfully, he finally saw the light of day.

……

After Guo Fan's mood stabilized, Gao Fei and others began to discuss the movie "The Wandering Earth".

Although they can't make a film like this, they always have some advice in other areas.

So after some communication, Guo Fan didn't care about his emotions and immersed himself in creation again.

But Goofy, they're not all finding faults.

In addition to making suggestions, everyone is also subconsciously summarizing the advantages of this movie out of professional habits.

It's like pulling movies in the past, always trying to figure out what makes this movie good? Why is it so good-looking?

Just discussed and discussed, and everyone found that in addition to the director's own ability, there are actually two reasons why "The Wandering Earth" can have such high quality:

The industrial aesthetic style is very different from Hollywood, and ...... A science fiction story at the heart of China.

The consensus is that these two points are the most important points.

If Guo Fan was shooting a Hollywood book this time, I'm afraid the effect might not be as good as it is now.

Of course, movies are all about making money after all.

After making sure that the film was ready for release at any time, Goofy naturally changed from a director to a businessman again.

So looking at Guo Fan, who had not yet dissipated the excitement in his eyes, Gao Fei coughed a few times, and finally couldn't help asking:

"Director Guo, if I'm not mistaken, I should have approved 600 million yuan for the budget of "The Wandering Earth", right?"

"So...... Can you tell me why you only spent half of it? ”

To be honest, when Goofy saw the accounts, he was directly stunned.

After making a movie for so long, he has seen overspending, corruption, and waste, and it is the first time he has seen a director who helps the producer save money!

It's so special to live a long time!

The most puzzling thing for Gao Fei is, how did this guy take 300 million yuan to shoot hundreds of millions of dollars?

It's not that Gao Fei looks down on him, but he has already practiced such an eye after so many years in the circle.

To put it simply, the texture of a movie is smashed with money.

Basically, as long as Gao Fei watches a movie carefully, he can guess the approximate cost.

Of course, this cost is based on speculation based on having him shoot it.

Often, though, the actual cost may be much higher than the figure he guessed.

So when he first saw the accounts, Gao Fei thought that Guo Fan would be good in terms of quality.

But after the screening just ended, Goofy completely rejected the idea.

To be honest, if such a movie were to be made by Hollywood, I am afraid it would cost at least $160 million to achieve this effect, not the outrageous $50 million.

At the same time, as Goofy's words fell, everyone else in the screening room was stunned.

Not surprisingly, they're just as full of question marks as Goofy.

They can't understand why Guo Fan only spends half of his budget to make a movie!

However, they can't understand how Guo Fan can make a movie of such quality with only half of the budget!!

So Guo Fan's ears suddenly felt like there were 10,000 ducks quarreling.

It turns out that if a man is verbose, there is nothing to do with a woman!

After being bombarded indiscriminately, Guo Fan was also a little confused.

In the end, Gao Fei drove those few to the side and sat down, Guo Fan glanced at Gao Fei with some embarrassment, and whispered:

"Mr. Gao, my previous plan may have made some mistakes."

"Halfway through the filming, I calculated again, if the second part is to be made, the cost may not be 600 million...... It's a billion! ”

"Actually, I didn't mean to save money, I just wanted to have too much budget with the second part, so I just tried to minimize unnecessary expenses when filming this one."

Speaking of this, Guo Fan was a little afraid to look at Gao Fei, and his face was very embarrassed.

“…… I'm afraid you won't want to invest, so I want to use the money saved from the first part for the second part. ”

"You invest another 600 million in the second part, and the total drama is 900 million, and I can save a little bit enough."

Guo Fan said word by word, it was called a humble one, and he didn't mention his remuneration at all from beginning to end.

As soon as these words came out, whether it was Gao Fei, Xu Zheng, or Chen Sichen, the eyes that looked at Guo Fan were a little complicated and inexplicable.

After all, although they love movies, they also prefer money.

So in the face of this kind of filmmaker who really regards movies as dreams and pursuits, the feelings of several people are actually quite complicated.

How can I say that the reason why pure people are not tolerated in the world is because they are easy to make others ashamed of themselves.

Fortunately, Goofy has always been very self-aware.

He was a drunk, lustful, fun-loving layman.

Thinking of this, Goofy's mood suddenly became much more normal.

As long as he is vulgar enough, then no one can kidnap him that noble!

Of course, everyone has their own ambitions.

Although he is a layman, Gao Fei also respects that others have their own pursuits.

Therefore, in the face of Guo Fan's request, Gao Fei agreed without thinking about it.

After all, with the quality of "The Wandering Earth", a fool will not agree!

Gao Fei can see with his ass that this film can't lose.

So even if the second part is a loss-making business, Gao Fei has to do it with gritted teeth.

Because if Guo Fan opens up a new category of science fiction movies for Huaxia and Zhou Yi, then the money Gao Fei invested in movies will earn back hundreds of times more in the stock market!

This is the true value of high-quality film and television content!

The Wang brothers know what a fart!

The estimated cost of "The Wandering Earth" on IMDB is $160 million, which is the result of Hollywood's reverse extrapolation.

It's fun! O(∩_∩)O haha~
