Quietly, the movie "Staring Man" started filming.

After holding a start-up press conference and providing some materials to reporters, Xu Nan took Liu Shishi to officially shoot the movie "Staring Man".

This movie, 500 million funds, has all been put in place, just waiting for Xu Nan to spend all the money.

This is the first time Xu Nan has shot such a high-cost movie, which can be described in one sentence.

Our Lao Li has never fought such a rich battle in his life.

The reason why you need to spend so much money is very simple, the movie Xu Nan shot this time is a superhero movie.

And the most important thing about superhero movies is undoubtedly two words.

Special effects, special effects, special effects.

Without sufficiently refined special effects and spectacular scenes, the superhero movie is bound to fail.

On the other hand, as long as the special effects are realistic enough and the scene is grand enough, it doesn't matter if the other aspects are even a little worse.

Xu Nan's first serious film "The Beginning" has been a success, this movie has washed away his previous reputation as a bad film director, and made the circle initially accept him.

But this is not enough, the negative impact caused by Xu Nan's previous bad movies is too strong, so the success of a single movie is not very convincing, and many people are still used to looking at him with colored eyes.

But if Xu Nan succeeds in a movie again, then his prejudice will be completely shattered in the face of iron-like facts.

When the time comes.

Of course, there is another very important reason why Xu Nan dares to spend so much money to make a movie, that is, because he is sure that this movie can make money.

I don't dare to say 100 percent, but 80 percent is still there.

The reason is simple.

This is the first superhero movie in China, and it is the only one of Scorpion.

In the past, there were many movies in China with the name of superhero movies, but those movies were often selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, boasting that one was bigger than the other, and the actual water was more than the other.

For example, "Captain China".

For example, "Spider-Man".

Therefore, strictly speaking, there were no superhero movies in China before, and the superhero movies that the audience watched were all shot abroad, all of which were Hollywood products, and there was not a single truly domestic superhero movie.

It's a blank market, just waiting for someone with a vision to occupy it.

And Xu Nan, as the first person to eat crabs, will definitely be able to eat with a mouth full of oil and make a lot of money.

Although the domestic audience is conservative, in a sense, they are still very tolerant, as long as you move them with sincerity, they will repay you with ten times more sincerity.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really lose money, it doesn't matter.

First of all, among the 500 million investment, Summit Film and Television only invested 200 million, accounting for 40% of the total investment, but the income is 50%.

And in addition to the box office income needs to share dividends with other investors, the rest of the income, such as network broadcast rights, copyrights, and so on, all belong to Summit Film and Television.

Even the investment of 200 million yuan has already been recouped by way of product placement.

In other words, in this movie, the probability of Xu Nan losing money is very small, and the risk has been minimized.

Virtually risk-free.

Again, the benefits are huge.

This kind of movie, Xu Nan must make it.

The plot of "Staring Man" is very simple, it can be said to be simple and crude.

Liu Xia is a blind man and a famous scientist at the same time.

When she was a child, she lost her sight due to an accident, but after she became blind, she did not give up on herself, but studied hard, made progress every day, and became a super scientist.

Growing up, she founded a company that specialized in the production of high-tech instruments and was one of the world's largest supercompanies.

But Liu Xia was not satisfied, and still devoted herself to research, hoping to study a special prosthetic eye and let herself see again.

By chance, Liu Xia got three strange beads, which contained strange energy.

As a scientist, Liu Xia was very surprised by this, shocked by the power contained in the beads, and wanted to incorporate these beads into the prosthetic eye she made.

But Liu Xia didn't know that these three magical beads came from a mysterious organization, and after they found out that the spirit bead was obtained by Liu Xia, they decided to attack Liu Xia's company, kill Liu Xia, and recapture the spirit bead.

But Liu Xia didn't know all this, she was still trying to implant the spirit bead into her prosthetic eye in the laboratory.

After many difficult attempts, Liu Xia succeeded, and she made a pair of superpowered prosthetic eyes with incomparably powerful powers.

At this time, a mysterious organization came to attack the company, and they wanted to kill Liu Xia.

At the critical moment, Liu Xia put the prosthetic eye into the eye socket, replacing the original eye, and then used the superpower of the prosthetic eye to kill all the attackers.

But that's just the beginning.

After the mysterious organization learned that Liu Xia had successfully used the energy of the spirit bead, they were even more afraid of Liu Xia, and wanted to get rid of it quickly, so they colluded with the military and tried to use absolute power to crush and kill Liu Xia and recapture the spirit bead.

What followed was a visual effects battle that shattered the sky, helicopters, tanks, drones, and various high-tech weapons appeared in turn, and finally they were all destroyed by Liu Xia using his superpower prosthetic eye.

Liu Xia people blocked and killed, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, all the way to the representative of the mysterious organization.

Just when Liu Xia wanted to kill the representative of this mysterious organization with her superpowered prosthetic eye, a man in uniform came out to stop her, saying that everything was left to him to solve.

This person in uniform is Xu Nan, to be precise, the character played by Xu Nan, and he has appeared in "Captain China" and "Spider-Man".

At the end of the movie, Liu Xia returns to the company and announces that she has developed a high-tech prosthetic eye that can help blind people regain their sight.

She announced that she would donate 10 billion yuan to set up a fund for blind patients to help all blind people in the world restore their sight.

Because of her amazing kindness, the media also presented Liu Xia with an honorary title - Staring Hero.

After reading the script, Liu Shishi, the actor of Liu Xia, raised questions.

"Why is Liu Xia's setting a blind person?"

"Such a setting, presented in the movie, won't it seem that Liu Xia is very dull?"

"And it's hard to act as a blind man."

Xu Nan smiled: "Shi Shi, you don't have to act, you can just behave normally." ”

Liu Shishi: "."

"What do you mean, Director Xu?" Liu Shishi was furious.

But despite her anger, her eyes remained blank.

Xu Nan sighed: "Shi Shi, do you really have no points in your heart?" ”

"You are good anywhere, but your eyes are too wooden, and you are short-sighted, who in the circle doesn't know."

Liu Shishi was very aggrieved and said in a muffled voice: "But this is not a reason to set the character as a blind person." ”

Xu Nan smiled: "Don't you know that your fan little lion has a nickname for you?" ”

Liu Shishi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask, "What is the endearing name?" ”

"Sister shrimp, shrimp of lobster." Xu Nandao: "But in fact, this title was originally blind sister, blind and blind." ”

"Because you have wooden eyes in every TV series, black fans have given you the nickname of a blind sister, but your fans have beautified you as Sister Shrimp."

"Look, even your fans know that your eyes are very wooden, why don't you have any numbers in your heart?"

Liu Shishi: "."

It's so angry, but keep smiling.

Xu Nan continued to mentally attack: "The reason why I set the protagonist Liu Xia as a blind person is to play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses and fully cover up your weaknesses." ”

"In this way, even if your eyes are wooden in the movie, it can still be explained that you are using fake eyes, not that you are not good at acting, but that the script is set like this."

"The audience not only can't say that your eyes are very wooden, but also praise your acting skills, and play a blind man very expressively."

"I have such good intentions, why don't you understand Shi Shi."

Liu Shishi: "." I feel insulted.

But she had nothing to say.

Ironclad evidence is in front of you, and arguing is just self-inflicted.

Wait for me, wait for the movie to finish.

The blind sister secretly clenched her fists.

But she didn't say anything, and went straight away to memorize the script.

Liu Shishi's professionalism is still good, and he read the script carefully as soon as he got it, striving to have a comprehensive understanding of this role, so that he can not panic when acting.

That's why she can see that the protagonist is not right.

Replaced by ordinary little fresh meat, let alone the protagonist setting, you may not even know what the character is named after acting.

In this respect, Liu Shishi is still very dedicated.

As for some small physical defects, it's better not to pay too much attention to them.

You can't discriminate against people with disabilities.

After getting Liu Shishi, Xu Nan came to the special effects team.

This is the true essence of the entire crew.

Of the cost of 500 million, 400 million will be spent on special effects.

With so much money, even in Hollywood, it can be ranked first, and it is the only one in China.

Although the previous "The Great Wall" cost more than one billion yuan and 1.5 billion US dollars, most of the cost was spent on hiring actors, and the money really spent on special effects was not much.

Hollywood actor, Liu Tianwang, wants to invite so many big stars to participate in the movie, but it's not okay to have less money.

It's like the crew of "Staring Man", Summit Film and Television is used to being poor, and it is carefully calculated, and a penny can be divided into two halves.

The only big star, Liu Shishi, also pushed his salary into the price of cabbage.

Ninety-five percent of the crew's funds are used for film production.

In order to achieve the special effects that Xu Nan wanted, dozens of domestic special effects companies concentrated on the staring crew and worked hard for the highest level of special effects in domestic films.

Yang Ping, the leader of the special effects team, patted his chest and assured.

"Director Xu Nan, the special effects of "Staring Man", I guarantee that they are the best in China, and they are definitely not worse than Hollywood."

"If you can't do that, I'll cut off my head and give it to you."
