Chapter 187: Mars is turned on, and a spaceship is really built

Zhao Liying received a notice of passing the audition the next day, and she was dizzy after hanging up the phone.

She just went to audition for a small supporting role with few lines, why did she suddenly become the heroine?

This is the heroine of Huashang Media's film, and the top ladies like Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun in the circle are all to be grabbed, but the result fell on her shoulders inexplicably.

It's like a dream.

At this point, the cast of "33 Days of Broken Love" has basically been determined.

The actor Wang Xiaobei is played by Lei Jiayin.

The heroine Huang Xiaoxian is played by Zhao Liying.

The supporting actor is Lao Wang, played by Zhang Jiayi.

Supporting actor Lu Ran, played by Guo Jingfei.

Supporting actress Li Ke, played by Jing Tian.

After the main actors of the two movies were determined, Li Mu was concerned about the broadcast of the two TV series.

Huashang Media is the second shareholder of the TV series "Myth", and the major shareholder is the Magic Shadow Yinghuang Culture Company, which is jointly funded by Modu Film Group and Xiangjiang Yinghuang Entertainment. As for the major shareholder of the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years", it can naturally only be Li Mu's Huashang Media Company.

After several rounds of communication and negotiation with CCTV and local satellite TV, these two TV series have been confirmed to settle on CCTV. According to the agreement, both TV series will be broadcast in prime time on CCTV, and after the broadcast is over, CCTV will also arrange rebroadcasts twice in non-prime time of one set and eight sets, and local satellite TV will be allowed to broadcast it after three months.

As for the specific schedule arrangement, according to CCTV staff, the TV station plans to arrange the official release of the TV series "Myth" on July 3, and after the finale of "Myth", it will be officially taken over by "Celebrating More Than Years".

The two time-traveling TV series have been broadcast in the prime time of CCTV, which is obviously a relatively rare arrangement, and it is this rare arrangement that finally moved Li Mu and Cheng Long.

It must be known that at this time, local satellite TV is more generous than CCTV in terms of purchasing dramas.

CCTV purchases dramas, generally requires their own exclusive broadcasting, and exclusive broadcasting also means that one family has to bear all the costs of buying dramas, but local satellite TV will often unite three, four, or even five satellite TV to jointly fund, so that each family will pay less money, and the total cost of buying dramas that can be provided will be more.

To put it simply, local satellite TV gives more money, while CCTV has more influence.

Although the money given by CCTV this time is still not as good as that of local satellite TV, the price of 1.3 million per episode is basically in the past, plus CCTV promised that both dramas would be broadcast in one set, and finally Cheng Long and Li Mu signed the copyright to CCTV as soon as they combined.

As for why Li Mu pays attention to the question of whether it is broadcast in one set or broadcast in eight sets, let's put it this way, the same TV series is also broadcast in prime time, and if it can reach 2% of the ratings if it is put into eight sets, then it is likely to be 4% of the ratings if it is put into one set.

After the three officially signed the transfer agreement for the broadcast rights, CCTV soon started the drama publicity work.

The theme of "Mythology" is very pleasing to young audiences, coupled with the popularity of the audience such as the starring Hu Ge and Ren Quan, the popularity foundation of the movie version of "Myth", the hard work of Brother Cheng Long, and Li Mu's participation, all these factors are superimposed, making this "Myth" popular before it is broadcast.

After CCTV announced that "Myth" would be set for July 3, there was a heated discussion about it on the Internet.

The vast majority of netizens are very optimistic about this drama, and a considerable part of the reason why netizens are optimistic about it is related to Li Mu.

For example, Li Mu is one of the co-writers of "Myth".

For example, Huashang Media participated in the production of "Myth", and what kind of company is Huashang Media? That's the myth among domestic entertainment companies!

For another example, please refer to Huashang Media's first TV series "Latent", people can even shoot the first TV series like that, now that they have experience, can this new drama be worse?

People who are not very optimistic think that although Li Mu has the name of co-screenwriter, I heard that he just came up with a few ideas casually this time, but he did not really participate in the editing

Drama work.

And Li Mu is not a god, and he doesn't need mythology, it makes no sense that if he casually points out a few words, the TV series will definitely become good-looking, which is neither realistic nor scientific.

What netizens don't know is that Bai Bing, the heroine of "Mythology", is also paying attention to this controversy at this moment, and after she saw that some netizens said that Li Mu is not a god, let alone a myth, and the TV series he pointed out does not mean that it will definitely be popular, Bai Bing suddenly became a little angry.

So she was stunned and directly turned on the vest and argued with netizens. Z.br>

"But Li Mu is a myth! If it were you, if you knew that there would be a chance to meet Cheng Long in a few days, could you write a script temporarily and successfully impress Cheng Long? Can you let Cheng Long take a look at the script and decide to star in person? Can you get the final editing rights in your hands without investing a penny?"

"If it were you, would you be able to make movies like Inception and Gravity? Can you win the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture? Can the actors of their own movies win the Oscars and actresses?"

"It's not just that you can't do it, but no one in the country can do it alone except Senior Li Mu! It's not a myth, what is a myth?"

After spraying people, my heart is very cool, but after being cool, I feel weak.

Bai Bing still attaches great importance to this "Myth".

The white soldiers in this life are different from the previous life, in this life, due to the butterfly effect caused by Li Mu's arrival, the white soldiers failed to meet Cheng Long smoothly, failed to join Xiangjiang Yinghuang, did not have Yang Zhicheng's boss to train him as Liang Luoshi's successor, and did not have the support of all the resources of Emperor Ying.

So at this time, Bai Bing is still just a pure newcomer, "Myth" is her first play, the first play is about to be released, and it is fake to say that she is not nervous.

So she couldn't help but check the ratings of TV dramas in the past two years, so that when the ratings of "Myth" came out, she would know whether the results were good or not.

Soon she found Sofrey's 09 ratings list.

No. 1 "Go to the West Exit", with an audience rating of 6.9%.

second place "My Brother is Shunyo", with an audience rating of 5.9%.

Third place "Secret War", 4.1%.

Fourth place, "In That Far Away Place", 4.1%.

fifth place, "Who Calls the Shots in My Youth", 3.8%.

The broadcast platforms of the TV dramas on the list are all CCTV sets, and no TV station can compete with CCTV in this era.

After checking last year, she immediately checked this year's data.

According to the information she found, so far this year, the TV series with the highest ratings in the country is "Country Love Story" produced by Benshan Media, with an average rating of 5.04%.

"I don't know how many ratings "Myth" will have after it is broadcast?"

Bai Bing, who acted for the first time and came up as the heroine, was both excited and apprehensive at the moment.

The time soon came to July 3, and the TV series version of "Myth" was officially launched.

The average rating of the first two episodes reached 5.1%, the third and fourth episodes further increased to 5.3%, and the third day even further to 5.5%.

The ratings performance of "Myth" is very eye-catching, not only almost exceeding everyone's previous predictions, but also breaking the ratings record of CCTV Comprehensive Channel since the beginning of this year, completely exceeding the "Country Love Story" that was popular all over the country at the beginning of the year, even if it is compared with the whole year of 09, the results of "Myth" have entered the top three at this time.

In the previous life, "Mythology" could win 3.13% of the premiere ratings in eight sets of broadcasts, which allowed CCTV to directly rebroadcast in one set without finishing the eight sets, creating a rare set of eight sets of double broadcasts, and even refreshed the ratings record of CCTV's eight sets of New Year's dramas in one fell swoop.

So "Mythology" is popular again, it is not an ordinary popularity, and what is even more remarkable is that this is another TV series related to Li Mu.

Again, as soon as the TV series was broadcast, it immediately became popular, and suddenly it ran over most of the TV dramas in the country

Pressed down.

This was the case with "Latent" last time, and it is like this again with "Mythology" this time. I don't know if it will still be like this next time "Celebrating More Than Years".

Chances are!

The heroine of "Celebrating More Than Years" is Liu Yifei, as well as the joining of a number of big names such as Mr. Chen Daoming, and it is a TV series produced by Li Mu's company, how can it not be popular with so many favorable conditions?

Now there is a bit of a tacit acquiescence in the circle to the concept that Li Mu's related works must be popular.

Although there have only been two TV series related to him released so far, combined with Li Mu's record in the film industry.

Well, now it's hard for everyone to believe that Li Mu's works will really hit the streets.

With the popularity of "Myth", the new TV series "Beijing City Love Story" that Huashang Media is preparing has naturally received great attention in the circle.

Many actors, even those well-known actors who have already achieved great results in the circle, are asking whether they have adapted to their roles in the new TV series.

If nothing else, this is almost certainly another hit drama.

In the next period of time, the ratings of "Myth" are still climbing, 5.6%, 5.7%, and even the highest rating of a single episode once climbed to 6.3%, such crazy ratings not only made the entertainment industry envious, but also made the participants of this TV series gain great fame.

Especially Bai Bing and Tong Liya.

Bai Bing had never acted in a TV series before this, and although Tong Liya had some roles before, she didn't make any splashes.

But this time is different, this time not only the heroine of Bai Bing has become popular all over the country in a very short period of time, but also the supporting role Tong Liya, who plays Yu Ji, has gained a lot of attention.

And during the hit of the TV series "Myth", Li Mu has already led the crew of "The Martian" to officially start shooting in the magic capital.

Huashang Media has spent a huge amount of money to build its own country's largest high-tech studio in the magic capital, coupled with so many years of accumulation, Li Mu has already gathered a large number of high-quality shooting teams with technical level to keep up with the world's most cutting-edge level, so in the future, unless the framing is needed, Li Mu's team does not need to go abroad at all.

However, this time "The Martian" is still filmed in the United States, and there are still many scenes that need to be filmed in the United States. Because in Li Mu's version of "The Martian", the protagonist wants to get in touch with the United States through the Mars probe launched by the United States in the nineties, and finally the United States will notify Huaxia that Li Mu is still alive.

In the past two years, the domestic film market has developed rapidly, and the total box office of the year has been increasing, but a sci-fi blockbuster like "The Martian", with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, is still unlikely to return to its original cost by relying on the Chinese domestic market alone, so Li Mu's team must consider the taste of American audiences.

"Director, the advisors of the Huaxia Aerospace Group and NASA invite you to come over for a moment."

Just when Li Mu took Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Hu Jun, Liu Yifei and others to visit his studio, the voice of assistant Liang Bing suddenly came.

Li Mu smiled at everyone with great interest: "Let's go, let's go and see one of the most expensive props in this shooting."

Everyone else laughed when they heard this, but Jiang Wen shouted, "Let's go, I just want to see how the cost of $100 million is spent."

So Li Mu led a few people to turn east and west, until they came to a place where several people had not yet arrived.

And when they arrived at the scene, almost everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Jiang Wen was even more exaggerated: "You are here, directly built a spaceship?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Welcome to the Zhurong."

After speaking, he stepped forward and shook hands with a Chinese man and a foreigner, one of whom is an expert of Huaxia Aerospace Group, and the other is a former NASA staff, both of whom are consultants for the filming of the movie "The Martian", and are responsible for a series of technical problems encountered in the filming of the film.

Zhurong, the unusually cool spaceship piloted by the protagonist team in the movie "The Martian", the name of the spaceship in the original movie is Hermes, such as

The background of today's story was moved to China by Li Mu, and the protagonist's character has changed from an American citizen to a Chinese expert, so the spaceship piloted by the protagonist's team naturally needs a Chinese-style name.

The Zhurong is undoubtedly the largest building Li Mu has ever built since the crossing, and it is also the most complex digital product ever made.

That's right, Zhurong has to have both physical buildings and digital modeling data, because the amount of work is extremely large.

After Li Mu shook hands with the two consultants, he quickly discussed the specific details of the work with them. Most of the people here have good English skills, so everyone can basically hear the content of the communication between Li Mu and the two consultants clearly.

It is precisely because of this that the faces of Jiang Wen, Hu Jun and others are once again filled with incredible looks.

A few even felt that they had just misheard.

The American adviser was clearly telling Li Mu that some modules of the Zhurong might not be able to be launched into space using rocket technology.

"Launched into space?!"

Confused.

Most of the people at the scene were stunned.

Isn't this Zhurong just a temporary "scene" for filming? Why is it still related to rockets and launches?

Assistant Liang Bing saw that everyone was puzzled, so he took the initiative to explain: "Director Li said before that he needs to ensure that the details of the spaceship produced can stand up to scrutiny, and he asked this movie to be more in line with scientific facts rather than science fiction. Therefore, the design of this Zhurong is mainly derived from the design of existing spacecraft, such as the International Space Station. The modular structure of Zhurong makes it theoretically possible to complete the launch through the current technology and then splice it on the orbiting space station."

"Is this a real spaceship?"

Jiang Wen asked, pointing to the behemoth in front of him.

Assistant Liang Bing spread his hands and said, "Theoretically, these things can be disassembled and then launched into space with rockets to form spaceships, of course, this is only theoretically possible."

Jiang Wen opened his mouth slightly and froze for a few seconds, and then sighed: "100 million US dollars to build such a huge spaceship, it is really too cheap."

Hu Jun didn't say anything, but he was actually dumbfounded, and his heart was shocked.

I've never seen a movie like this.

I've heard that Director Li is awesome before, but which one is awesome? Everyone knows that a box office is awesome.

Now it's completely appropriate to watch other people's box office awesome, people make space movies and build spaceships directly!

Gong Li smiled at everyone: "Director Li has always been very strict with technology, and I couldn't adapt to it when I first started filming "Gravity"."

After Li Mu finished talking with the two advisers, he returned to a few people, Liu Yifei stepped forward and grabbed Li Mu's arm and said, "I heard that this spaceship can really go to the sky?"

Li Mu said: "Of course, they are all modular things, which can be disassembled and launched on rockets, but in the final analysis, this thing is still a movie prop, so it is space junk if it really goes to space."
