"Finally have a script for the next movie, or is it a blockbuster!?"

Assistant director Xu Daoxing looked like "you're finally here".

——As soon as I heard that Wang Wei was going to open a new film, the director team came quickly.

Photographer Zhou Lin also nodded, "Yes, with your habits, I thought that within a week of the release of "Tang Bohu", you would come up with a new script!" I didn't expect it to be dragged on until now......"

“…… So, do you think my script came out late, which makes you uncomfortable? ”

Wang Wei was a little incredible.

- He'd heard the two of them complain more than once before, saying that he was making movies too fast and too often, so that the old guys on the team didn't have time to rest.

And now, listening to this meaning, it seems that he is slow again!?

"Of course not!"

Lao Xu hurriedly clarified - what are you kidding, he is also the director of the TV production department, how dare he say that he is idle in front of the boss?

"It's just that in the past, you used to start preparing for the next movie shortly after it ended. This time, the pace seems to be a little slower, but we are a little uncomfortable. ”

“…… It doesn't seem to be too slow, right? Wang Wei spread his hands.

What director would be like him, who put the preparation of a new film on the agenda as soon as the last movie was released?

"yes!"

Lao Xu nodded, glanced at Zhou Lin, who was related to him, and showed a wry smile on his face,

"It can only be said that we are 'abused' and addicted......"

“……”

Regarding this sudden miserable sale, Wang Wei could only be speechless.

"Let's read the script first!"

In the end, that's all he could say.

Both of them had a script in their hands, and five big words were written on the cover - "Jurassic Park".

After they quickly skimmed the script, they thought for a moment, and Lao Xu spoke first,

"Dinosaur movie, wait, I have a little question-"

"China Television also has a dinosaur movie project in the pipeline, which seems to be related to cloning technology, we didn't crash, right?"

"Don't worry about that, we've figured it out for a long time."

Wang Wei shrugged his shoulders,

"My script is to create a dinosaur park through cloning technology, and Huashi's project is to clone a dinosaur army, not to mention the crash, not to mention its preparation time......"

Wang Wei didn't continue, but the others couldn't help laughing.

- It almost became a joke in the circle.

In preparing for the movie, China Television has always been known for its excellent patience, or dead paddling to drag on time.

The most typical example is this dinosaur film project.

It is said that it was originally intended to be a sci-fi blockbuster, but then changed to a medium thriller due to budget problems, and then it was put on hold for a while due to the uncertain future, and now it is said that it intends to make a big production with an additional budget......

Anyway, the project has been in preparation for eight years, during which three or four directors have been changed, and after such a toss, it has all the factors to hit the street, and this makes its preparations continue to be delayed indefinitely......

"I can understand the entanglement of China Television, making this kind of dinosaur movie, the investment is low, and the effect is not good; The investment is high, it can be really scary! ”

Lao Wang habitually covered his chest.

- Because in the production budget column on the script, 130 million yuan is written!

If you add the publicity and distribution costs, which are bound to be low, the total budget is tentatively set at 200 million yuan, which is not an exaggeration at all.

- Although it was not good to persuade Wang Wei to be bold when he made a blockbuster, but when it was time to pay for it, Lao Wang just wanted to cry silently.

What if it's a loss......

Several other people saw the words "I can jump off the building" on his face.

Wang Weidu couldn't help but cover his forehead.

Or Lao Xu said, "High investment brings high returns, after all, everyone loves to watch monster movies!" Monster movies are even more rare types of movies that can transcend cultural and linguistic barriers, and audiences in both the East and the West are willing to buy it......"

"Look at this script again, there should be visual stimulation, there should be visual stimulation, and there should be philosophical speculation; At the same time, it is not only a science fiction film, but also a disaster movie, as well as the action elements of dinosaur wars, and there is no shortage of thriller elements, which fully meets the audience's needs for various types of movies! ”

"What I admire the most is that the role of dinosaurs and human scenes is well balanced in the script, monsters are not fought for the sake of fighting, humans are not strong sense of existence, and the director's screenwriting ability is really nothing to say!"

Lao Xu said and looked at Wang Wei with admiration.

This is a blockbuster! is also why he is so busy that he has to join the crew - as long as Wang Wei is serious and can create a classic in minutes, how can he be absent as a filmmaker?

Lao Xu thought secretly in his heart.

Zhou Lin nodded with a similar thought, but then his face became strange,

"I suddenly realized that this movie has two of the hardest points to get done, animals and children - if you don't make it well, they can ruin a movie; If it is filmed well, it can make a movie a classic. ”

This is a widely circulated opinion in the circle: animals and children are the most difficult things to grasp in movies.

Among them, animals are more difficult to deal with than children.

After all, children are still human beings, and they can communicate with each other, but animals ......

"So, Lao Xu, you should pay more attention to the casting and try to find two spiritual little actors......"

Wang Wei began to assign work, first explaining some problems of the assistant director's casting, and then turned to the cameraman.

"As for the animals, Lao Zhou, you need to study the shooting techniques needed for our new movie recently, well, it is also convenient for you to take care of your body."

Looking at Zhou Lin with heavy dark circles under his eyes, Wang Wei patted him on the shoulder.

It is said that after this guy won the Tianma Award for Best Photography, there were more beauties who took the initiative to send it to the door, and Mr. Photographer inevitably "worked hard" day and night.

"Replenish the kidneys, don't run out of energy and delay serious things." Wang Wei patted him on the shoulder even harder.

Zhou Lin couldn't help baring his teeth, but he sighed and said, "Director, I've also blocked the disaster for you!" ”

“？？？”

"You think! Am I so blessed, isn't it because I'm your royal photographer? Those girls are here for you after all. ”

Zhou Lin blinked innocently,

"If you're willing to enjoy life, that's fine, but now that you've clung to a tree and given up the whole forest, then these girls are a problem for you!"

“…… So, you got me out of trouble, and I should thank you!? ”

Wang Wei, as well as Lao Wang and Lao Xu, all looked at this guy with an expression of "I have never seen such a brazen person".

Zhou Lin shrank his head, smiled and changed the topic: "Having said that, according to the script, there are a lot of new technologies to be applied in this movie, can our special effects studio handle it?" ”

"In particular, a lot of the special effects scenes are in the daytime, which makes it even more difficult."

As soon as he said this, Wang Wei also frowned,

"There's no problem making realistic mechanical models of dinosaurs; Although the animation studio only has some technical accumulation of hair, skin and other technologies created with CG special effects, it is not impossible to use them; However, in order to ensure the smoothness of the dinosaur's running movements, motion capture technology must be used, and there are still some problems in the development of current motion capture technology. ”

"Will that meet the application requirements before the film starts?" Lao Xu, who didn't have much contact with the special effects studio, asked worriedly.

After all, the audience loves to watch monster movies, and the first thing is to see shocking visual spectacles, and it can be said that one of the keys to the success of this dinosaur movie is the special effects technology.

"If you really can't do it, you will throw money and step up efforts to tackle some key ......issues," Wang Wei said helplessly.

In fact, many special effects are not impossible, but in many cases, because there is no previous experience to learn from, the cost and time required to achieve it will rise significantly.

This is the price you have to pay as a pioneer in film technology.

Of course, there is also Lao Wang Ming's "You are no longer a little expert in making films and saving money".

Wang Wei felt funny, and deliberately frowned: "If the budget is too high, it's not impossible to consider joint investment......

"No!" Lao Wang interrupted him, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if it is overspending, Dunhuang has enough funds to bear it alone!" ”

"It's not difficult to see that this can be made into a big-budget series, and the significance of an ace series to a film company shouldn't need me to explain it specifically, right?"

"It's nature!"

Both Lao Xu and Lao Zhou nodded solemnly.

Although the probability of making a profit from a small-cost production in Dunhuang is frighteningly high, only large-scale productions, especially series of large-scale productions, can be dominant, and it is a sign of the rise of a film company!

"If we want to do it, we will make "Jurassic Park" the core product of Dunhuang, and see if the five dare to use their own blockbuster frontal to carry it!"

When Lao Wang said this, his eyes seemed to be burning.

The others looked at each other and were silent, all understanding where his pressure was.

——In the upcoming summer season, there are two movies released in Dunhuang, but the situation is not optimistic under the siege of blockbusters!
