Sci-fi?

Gu Sisi looked at Zhang Sheng and didn't know what to say for a while.

There are many types of Chinese-language films.

What genre is most popular with movie fans?

It's hard to say.

However, from the perspective of the market, the most types of Chinese movies are undoubtedly action movies, comedy films, romance films, magic films, and history.

Sci-fi?

Is there a genre of science fiction in Chinese films?

Yes, definitely, yes.

It's just that I really can't get my hands on it.

Capital avoids sci-fi films.

Directors don't seem to be willing to touch such films either.

The director who has a head and iron, and his fame is all planted on this.

As for the actors or anything, I don't have to choose at all.

What kind of film to make, the most vocal power is obviously capital.

I'm afraid of a fart if I don't have money!

Isn't there a soil for science fiction in Chinese films?

It's hard to say.

Because Huaguo has a long history and there are too many people and things that can be filmed, historical films are popular.

Hollywood may not have any previous "historical" films, so you can only fantasize about the future.

So, there's a flood of sci-fi over there.

Can't the domestic market tolerate sci-fi films?

This one is clearly not.

Many of Hollywood's sci-fi films have achieved extremely good box office in China.

Science fiction films are actually still very marketable in China.

can be a domestic sci-fi film

It's hard to put into words.

It's too uncompetitive.

"You think that. It's crazy. Gu Sisi said, "Even if you make an action movie, I can think of it, but science fiction movie"

Gu Sisi shook his head as he spoke, obviously not understanding and not optimistic.

No one is optimistic about this kind of film.

She just said it casually.

But who would have thought that Zhang Sheng would be moved to make a science fiction film.

At this time, Gu Sisi was a little self-blaming.

If you have nothing to do, why mention the monotony of the Changsheng Entertainment movie genre?

"Sci-fi is hard!"

Gu Sisi was silent for a moment, and then said again.

She seemed to want to dispel this idea, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

The two have been together for a short time, but they have known each other for a long time!

Zhang Sheng, once he makes a decision, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn back.

He's one of those who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back.

Maybe he didn't look back when he hit it, but thought about smashing the south wall.

"Make a low-budget sci-fi film to test the waters." Zhang Sheng smiled and said.

"Small cost?" Gu Sisi was a little surprised.

In her understanding, science fiction films don't all involve a lot of special effects shots, how can the investment be small?

Are you sure you're going to make a sci-fi movie?

Instead of a drama with a sci-fi gimmick or something?

There seemed to be romance films with sci-fi gimmicks before.

As a result, I didn't even know my mother.

"Who told you that a sci-fi film must be a big production?" Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Changsheng Entertainment can't afford to play big productions now. ”

Can't afford to play?

Less.

It's just that if you don't make a big production and lose all your money, I'm afraid it will inevitably hurt your muscles and bones, and the momentum of rapid development will also stagnate, which is very unfavorable to the company's development.

The development of the company is still good step by step.

Zhang Sheng obviously won't give up his roots.

Make low-budget films that are so popular that you can get a lot of bang for yourself, and then gradually expand your investment.

One step at a time.

It's fast, it's easy to talk nonsense.

In Zhang Sheng's plan, how can he get those Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life.

Don't seek to be applauded.

But it has to be called.

It's better to rush out of the country, rush into Europe and the United States, and then go and earn their money.

Use Hollywood blockbusters from the past to pry open the door to the North American market in the back garden of Hollywood in the present world.

It's a little exciting to think about.

But think about it now.

Those blockbusters, how can they be based on 100 million US dollars.

Folded Chinese dollars, that is hundreds of millions.

Therefore, if it is in line with international standards, no matter how blockbuster it is, you are embarrassed to say that it is a blockbuster if it is less than one billion Chinese dollars.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be broadcast at the end of the month." Gu Sisi said suddenly.

Zhang Sheng looked over suspiciously.

How could he not know?

For promotional activities or something, he has picked the schedule.

"The TV series is about to start, and the screenwriter doesn't seem to have moved!" Gu Sisi said, "The screenwriter has never appeared from beginning to end, do you know why? I asked Director Li, and he hadn't seen it. ”

Why?

He's always there, but he hasn't told you.

"Maybe he doesn't like to deal with people." Zhang Sheng said subconsciously.

He doesn't seem to be ready to "confess" to Gu Sisi now.

I have to wait for the relationship between the two to be deeper.

"Don't you lie to me?" Gu Sisi said, "I heard that the martial arts drama "Dragon Babu" prepared by your company was also from him. What is your relationship with him? ”

Did she find something?

Now suspicious?

Be lenient in confession and strict in resisting.

"Okay!" Zhang Sheng sighed and said, "I am the author of "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the screenwriter of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Dragon Babu"! ”

Early death and early superbirth!

Sooner or later, it will be known to them, so why hide it?

The person in front of him is his girlfriend.

In the future, it may be his wife, the baby's mother.

A lie needs countless lies to complete, so it is better to confess directly.

All right!

Zhang Sheng had to admit that he suspected that Gu Sisi was doubting him.

"Just you?" Gu Sisi pouted and said, "You men's mouths don't have a word of truth. ”

ZHANG Sheng:.

She doesn't believe it?

Didn't she suspect anything, let alone herself?

Zhang Sheng suddenly had a realization.

Is there a possibility: it's not that men like to lie, but that when they tell the truth, women don't believe it!

Gu Sisi did not continue to dwell on this topic.

Baguio's death is not enough for her to be so obsessed with an online author.

She asked casually.

After being reminded by Gu Sisi, Zhang Sheng already had a choice, so the script was written quickly.

As for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Zhang Sheng has a lot of time to break off, so what's the matter with a few shorter times?

What's more, this is almost over.

This book took much longer to write than "Zhu Xian".

The script is written quickly, but it is also relative.

Zhang Sheng's selection is not a domestic movie, but a Hollywood low-budget movie.

Sci-fi?

Both worlds are the same.

The world is even more bleak.

In the previous life, the discourse movie had a popular science fiction film like "The Wandering Earth".

And now?

Not a single one.

It's pathetic and pathetic.

Adaptation of Hollywood movies is naturally impossible to copy directly.

"Sci-fi?" Zhou Zhao looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "If the news that you are going to make a science fiction film spreads, I am afraid that I don't know how many people will say that you have been blinded by the success of "Baby Wisdom and Stars" and will be so inflated that you will get carried away." ”

Zhang Sheng's new film made a science fiction film, which really stunned Zhou Zhao.

"Isn't that a topic?" Zhang Sheng smiled and said.

Zhou Zhao's words, Zhang Sheng did not doubt it.

Sci-fi films, so many big directors in the circle dare not touch them, you are a rookie director who just came out of school and made a low-budget comedy, how dare you touch sci-fi films?

What a fearlessness it is for the ignorant!

"What is Lu Wenhua's opinion?" Zhou Zhao then asked.

In this regard, Zhou Zhao attaches more importance to Lu Wenhua's opinion.

He is obviously not as good as Lu Wenhua in the film market.

Perhaps, it is not as good as Zhang Sheng.

After all, Changsheng Entertainment's three movies are all written by Zhang Sheng.

"He went to Thailand with Lao Liu." Zhang Sheng said, "However, when he comes back, the script should be about the same." ”

"You're fast enough to write a script!" Zhou Zhao said, "What is the budget? The company made a lot of profits last year, but the expenses were also large, and it can't afford to be tossed by you. Moreover, if you make a science fiction film, it is estimated that you will not be able to attract investment. If it loses, the company will be hurt and its development will inevitably be greatly affected. Personally, I disagree. The risk is too great. ”

If the investment can't be pulled, then only the company can resist.

If it's okay for other films, it's science fiction.

This film can't be earned back by hyping up any topic.

"Tens of millions!" Zhang Sheng said.

"How much?"

Zhou Zhao thought that he had misheard, and looked at Zhang Sheng in shock.

"It's just a small-budget sci-fi film." Zhang Sheng said, "However, how much specifically, Lu Wenhua is professional." Also, it depends on the cast. ”

"Dollars?" Zhou Zhao said.

In his impression, small-budget sci-fi films seem to be tens of millions of dollars.

But it doesn't seem to be low in China.

"It's not Hollywood." Zhang Sheng pouted and said.

Tens of millions of dollars invested in science fiction films can indeed only be regarded as small-budget films in Hollywood.

But tens of millions of dollars are put in China, and it is completely different.

An investment of one or two hundred million yuan is now considered an upper-medium investment in China.

Domestically, 300 million is considered a blockbuster.

But what about Hollywood?

That's it.

Of course, filming the same thing, it definitely costs more in Hollywood.

"Tens of millions of you make science fiction movies?" Zhou Zhao said, "Soft sci-fi? ”

"It depends on how to explain hard sci-fi and soft sci-fi." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said.

Some people say that hard science fiction is technical science fiction, and soft science fiction is humanistic science fiction.

Some people also say that hard science fiction is more rigorous and more focused on the realization of scientific principles. Soft sci-fi, on the other hand, is more casual and puts the story in the context of sci-fi.

There are even simpler and crude ways to put it.

Hard sci-fi is biased towards science, and soft sci-fi is biased towards fantasy.

Of course, Zhang Sheng disagrees with this crude statement.

If so, then is Newton's Three Laws a very hard hard sci-fi, and "Journey to the West" is a very soft soft sci-fi?

Zhou Zhao didn't dwell on this issue anymore.

Zhang Sheng insisted on filming, but he couldn't stop it.

Who made him the boss?

However, the investment of tens of millions of dollars, even if it loses a lot, will not affect the development of Changsheng Entertainment.

Today's Changsheng Entertainment has such confidence.

If you talk about the profit of last year, even if Changsheng Entertainment was established not long ago, I am afraid that few big film and television companies can compete with one of them.

It's just that if Zhang Sheng's new film is planted, then the reputation established for him by "Baby Zhiduoxing" may be dissipated in one day.

Zhang Shengzhi will not become a hot director because of "Baby Wisdom and Many Stars".

But his fame came out.

The new film is planted, so I am afraid it will be difficult for him to go on the road of directing next.
