522 movie budget 800 million!

"What a great shot! The scene is so shocking! ”

Coming out of the cinema, Xia Yunxing kept sighing on the way.

He didn't go to self-study tonight, so he ran out to watch a movie, and Yu Tongtong went with him.

The two of them each rode a shared bicycle in the direction of the school, and the girl listened to his words and couldn't help pouting: "The shooting is good, but it's not so good that you praise all the way, right?" You're admiring the foreigner! ”

"What does this have to do with the admiration of foreign countries?" Xia Yunxing turned his head sideways and looked at the girl: "This is seeking truth from facts!" You say, which director in China can make such a good-looking sci-fi film! ”

"My dad can!" The girl looked proud.

"Although Uncle Yu's martial arts films are very good-looking, but the sci-fi films" said halfway, Xia Yunxing didn't say the rest of the words.

Yu Tongtong was not happy when she heard it.

"Well, how dare you doubt my father's abilities! Begging! The girl rode with one hand and punched Xia Yunxing.

People didn't fight, but the front of the car turned around and the body swayed, Yu Tongtong hurriedly supported it with his feet, but his mouth said "oops",

"What's wrong? Is your foot crooked? Xia Yunxing hurriedly stopped the car with a concerned expression.

"Hmm"

"Don't move, let me see." Xia Yunxing hurriedly bent down to check.

Unexpectedly, Yu Tongtong punched him in the shoulder and grinned: "It's finally hit. Lie to you, Xia Yunxing, how can you be easily fooled by such a smart person. ”

I.

Xia Yunxing didn't know what to say.

"Alright. I'm not playing with you, anyway, I think my dad will be able to shoot well! Hurry up, I need to get back to school. ”

After speaking, Yu Tongtong kicked his feet suddenly, and the car drove forward quickly.

"Let's go."

"Slow down, stay safe!" Xia Yunxing hurriedly chased after him.

"Silver Star Empire 5" swept the entire country like a tsunami, and the box office reached 1 billion in just three days after its release, creating a record for the box office of mainland films.

Some people estimate that the box office of "Silver Star Empire 5" in the mainland alone can exceed 6 billion.

With the hot release of "Silver Star Empire 5", fans were amazed, and they also paid attention to "The Wandering Earth", which had just been officially announced.

Can our domestic sci-fi films be as shocking as the "Silver Star Empire" series?

Some people look forward to it, but many more people are skeptical.

"I'm satisfied if I can shoot half of "Silver Star 5"!"

"Don't fool fans and audiences with five-cent special effects!"

Some even went to Yu Dongqing's studio and his own Weibo to leave a message @him.

But Yu Dongqing, as always, remained silent.

Today, Li Wan came to Yu Dongqing's house early to discuss the movie.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yu Dongqing's small courtyard leisurely feeding the goldfish in the fish tank.

"Oops. The complexion is good, it doesn't seem to have been affected by anything? Li Wan asked.

"Impact? What is the impact? I'm having a great appetite now, and I'm so good at eating! Li Wan laughed when he heard this.

"That's good, let's talk about it today."

"Okay, you go to my study first, I'll come after feeding the fish."

"I remember you weren't a magpie flower tall headfish? How did you become an ordinary goldfish? Li Wan glanced at it.

"It's all in its belly." Yu Dongqing took a look at a lazy fat cat nested at the cornice of the corridor - the little bean bag that grew up is now renamed the fat bean bag.

Li Wan immediately laughed.

After the two came to the study, after making tea, Li Wan also got straight to the point.

"Holly, I read the script, and the estimated cost is at least 400 million, right? Of course, it also depends on how much the actor you are looking for is paid. Li Wan called.

But Yu Dongqing's words made Li Wan startled.

"Four hundred million? The budget has doubled again, 800 million! ”

"! Eight hundred million?! Li Wan was taken aback when he heard this.

"Which big stars are you inviting exactly? Is it that you can't even look down on the domestic and invite Hollywood superstars? ”

"Why invite Hollywood stars to shoot Chinese science fiction? And more than 800 million? ”

Yu Dongqing asked rhetorically: "The recently released "Silver Star Empire 5" is said to have an investment of up to 300 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 2.1 billion yuan!" Even if the two national conditions are different, let's invest 800 million is not too much, right? ”

"Do you really want to make a blockbuster like Silver Star 5?"

"Look at the discussions on the Internet, if I don't shoot well, will the spitting star drown me in the future?" Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"Li Wan, you also watched that "Silver Star 5", what do you think?"

Li Wan pondered for a while and said: "To be honest, the plot of "Movie Star 5" is average, but the special effects are very good! Especially in the last part of the starship battle, the two sides simply exploded.

"That's right! He wins in special effects, so in a commercial sci-fi blockbuster like Silver Star 5, special effects are very important, but they are also very expensive. ”

"As far as I've heard, how much do the special effects of this "Silver Star 5" cost? 180 million dollars! Accounts for more than half of the entire cost! ”

After listening to Yu Dongqing's words, Li Wan sighed and said: Hey, I have been a producer for so many years, and I really haven't made such a budget, and to be honest, I don't know much about the investment in special effects. ”

Li Wan said and groaned: "In this way, I am going to go to Shanghai in person, find Rays Company, talk to Wei Wenming, and then talk to my son, by the way, this kid actually went to Shanghai directly after returning to China, and he didn't even go home." ”

"It's okay, public and private affairs are done all the way, and you know more about a few official affairs, I estimate that RAYs can't be completed by relying on the special effects, their strength is limited after all."

"Okay, I know it's gone." Li Wan stood up after speaking.

"What's the hurry? Come and drink tea, I'll make you a cup of cold brew tea. Yu Dongqing smiled and retained.

"Come on, you can't drink that cold brew tea in your mouth for half an hour, I'm not so idle." Li Wan said in his mouth, but his footsteps did not stop.

"By the way, there are also actors, you think about it quickly, I'll make the plan and budget."

"Don't worry, you won't make a mistake, I'll send you." Yu Dongqing also stood up.

"No, no."

But despite this, Yu Dongqing still sent him outside the gate of the small courtyard before returning to the house.

"Alright. Finally able to relax for a few days. Yu Dongqing sat on the rattan chair and crossed Erlang's legs.

In the RAYS company on the sixth floor of Building 5 of the Yangtze River Delta Inter-Film and Television Industrial Park in Songjiang, Shanghai, a group of technicians are busy.

As soon as Li Li returned to China, he was "arrested" by Wei Wenming and joined the company's modeling team, engaged in the 3D modeling of the special effects part of "The Wandering Earth", and he was responsible for the planetary engine.

The original book describes: "The height of this engine is 11,000 meters, which is more than 1,000 meters higher than Mount Everest. ”

"You imagine a huge palace, the size of a temple on the Acropolis, with countless pillars that stand up to the sky, each pillar emits a blue-white glare like a huge fluorescent tube."

A few strokes.

But it's not a simple matter for you to make it a movie that the audience can see and conform to the description of the original book.

Shangguan Feifei's conceptual design team spent hundreds of conceptual design drawings on a single planetary engine, and it was finalized after the final approval by director Yu Dongqing.

Now his task is to turn a two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional three-dimensional diagram, which is not an easy task.

It was dinner time, Li Li went downstairs to a nearby fast food restaurant to buy a fast food, and Li Li went back to his office.

Others usually order take-out box lunches, and he has been in the United States for 6 years and is used to Western-style fast food, so he asked for a burger hot dog and a Coke to take, and stared at the screen while drinking.

"Li Li, your dad is looking for you!" A colleague suddenly shouted.

"My dad?"

Li Li raised his head and saw a chubby middle-aged man standing at the door of the office.

Sure enough, it's Dad.
