"Brother Ze, do you think Boss Xu will agree with our idea?" Outside the commercial set, the assistant director, who was squatting on the steps, spat out a smoke ring and spoke.

Next to him was Juanze, who was also smoking.

Hearing the assistant director's words, Hu Anze took a sharp breath and said: "He is very young and very special. ”

The lack of a positive answer was accompanied by smoke in his mouth, making his confidence seem even less confident.

"There is no environment for filming hard sci-fi in China, how many times have we been laughed at in the past two years, or ...... In fact, you see, didn't Boss Xu himself choose comedy? It's still a cool comedy. ”

The cool comedy is the sex set by the Blue Star audience for "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and the reason for this sex must not be explained too much.

Anyway, Xu Chuan seems to have created a comedy genre because of his special identity.

In this way, I don't know if someone will be inspired to make a comedy movie with a rebirth stream, similar to "Charlotte's Troubles".

The assistant director's words made Hu Anze smoke for a while, and after a second or two, he took a puff of cigarette and threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

Then he got up and stepped on it hard: "Let's talk about it then, it's too early to say such frustrating words, after all, it's the first time I'll see you today, and I'll talk about it next time I find a chance." ”

When the assistant director heard this, he immediately spoke: "Yes, yes, yes, if you want me to see, the probability of Xu Chuan's agreement is still relatively large." Like you just said, he's young and special.

The most important thing is that he himself has money and vision, and he has a fund of 1 billion in his hand. This money has to be spent a little, but as long as he takes the lead in taking care of us, others will probably follow suit in terms of what he does. ”

After hearing this, Hu Anze smiled at the assistant director and did not speak.

Follow the fart, if they are really willing to vote for this piece, they don't need Xu Chuan to take the lead and vote for themselves.

In the past two years, they have really been rejected too many times, and they have been laughed at too many times. They are now convinced that Chinese people can't make hard sci-fi.

Therefore, in Hu Anze's view, even if Xu Chuan is optimistic about himself, there is a high probability that others will not follow suit.

On the other side, Xu Chuan was also chatting seriously with Cai Meng about these things.

As the manager of the Advance Fund, Xu Chuan has the authority to access some official internal information.

Although this information is more detailed than some public information, it is enough for Xu Chuan to understand some things that were difficult to understand comprehensively before.

Judging from these materials, the support of the relevant departments of the state in the film industry in recent years is really not small. Whether it's money, resources, or something else.

Xu Chuan on the other side of the earth doesn't know, anyway, Blue Star doesn't mention anything else, just sent to the United States to study, and the relevant departments organized it three times in 08, 12, and 16.

The purpose of the public school is to hope that these directors can learn the industrialized operation system of American films. And that Hu Anze is one of the young directors who have been sent over for 16 years.

In addition, for sci-fi works, or special effects blockbusters, the relevant departments have actually been supportive.

It's just that looking at the current situation of film and television in recent years, there are many soft science fiction film and television works in China. But the real hard sci-fi blockbuster movie is still zero.

There are actually very few films with good special effects.

However, although there are no hard sci-fi films and real special effects blockbusters, there is still no shortage of so-called "blockbusters".

Just like on Earth, the starting point of the domestic blockbuster on the Blue Star side is probably around 02 or 03.

Since the two worlds have the same starting point, the problems are actually similar.

The directors of that generation were influenced by French New Wave films, and their creative ideas were generally "literary".

Since it is literary and artistic, the pursuit of nature is self-artistic expression, as well as various awards after artistic expression is recognized.

Anyone who knows knows that the favorite thing for film directors in that era to do was to go abroad to "brush up on awards".

There are even many people who hold this idea to judge the quality of a movie. A movie that seems to have been recognized by a foreign award is a really good movie.

This behavior is a product of a specific era, and it is impossible to judge whether it is good or bad with simplicity.

But one thing that is certain is that if you use this kind of creative thinking to create "commercial films", especially "commercial blockbusters", there is a high chance that there will be a peculiar smell.

How to describe this smell?

That is, what aesthetics, texture, lens language, including the grandeur of the scene, and so on, may be very good. But I just can't understand the story, the simple story is complicated, and the complex story is crotch-pulling.

Those who have read Chen Da's "Wuji" should be able to understand this concept.

Of course, some people may jump out and say, what smell, it's because you are not good enough to understand.

Actually, it's okay to say this, art is a thing that has its own eyes, some people think it's good, some people think it's bad, it's normal.

But for Xu Chuan, who holds the advance fund, the issues he has to consider are much more realistic. He has to be clear about one thing, that is, what can the films he invest in bring to the film industry?

Bring new film themes, new production processes, new production technologies, new supporting industries, and new jobs or new talents.

From this point of view, some types of movies are destined to miss Xu Chuan.

It's like from Xu Chuan's perspective of thinking about the problem, the "Man Jianghong" on the earth, which was originally planned to be shot to the end, is even less meaningful to the film industry than the "Great Wall" that was sprayed to explode by Lao Mouzi.

A sitcom-style shooting method is too boring.

Speaking of which, since Xu Chuan began to write "The Beginning" in 18 years, he has been writing other stories one after another.

The plot content of the two movies "The Wandering Earth 1-2" was almost written by him. When you want to shoot in the future, you have to ask professional people to come over and help you grasp the details.

Next, Xu Chuan also plans to complete the set of "Three-Body Problem 123" that I don't know how many times. He had a good start, but he never found the time to finish it.

Not only that, Xu Chuan also plans to adapt and publish classic science fiction movies such as "Inception" and "Interstellar". If you don't shoot yourself, you can shoot it for others.

In fact, there are a lot of good sci-fi on the Blue Star side. If Xu Chuan really wants to invest in science fiction movies, he can also find a book to shoot in Lanxing.

But there's a huge problem here.

Whether it is "The Wandering Earth" or "Interstellar", Xu Chuan has watched these movies, and he has watched them more than once.

Once you've seen it, you know what is good and what is bad.

If it was a sci-fi adaptation on Blue Star's side, Xu Chuan would lose this control.

Therefore, the best choice is to use the movies you are familiar with to drive the blockbuster production capacity of Blue Star. Then let these directors who were brought up go to shoot the local sci-fi content of Blue Star by themselves.

In this way, it can be regarded as really helping Huaguo to upgrade the film industry.

If you don't turn away from yourself, then what's the difference between this upgrade and failure?

The biggest success of coming to Bluestar is that they don't need to be successful in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuan pondered that he could actually invest in an animated movie.

First, the socio-economic value and additional industries brought by animated films are also considerable.

Second, at present, the film market of Blue Star has actually emerged some animated films covering a wider range of ages. For example, the National Day file has launched an animated movie with the theme of "Journey to the West".

It is equivalent to saying that Blue Star already has this foundation, and he only needs to push it simply, unlike hard science fiction that has to start from scratch.

However, if you want to invest, Xu Chuan's first reaction is not to do "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends", which has achieved great results. Instead, I want to localize "Dream Travel".

The main reason for doing this is that Xu Chuan wants to help the animated films on Lanxing's side expand the theme.

Just as I just said that there is a movie with the theme of "Journey to the West" on the National Day file. The filmmakers on Lanxing's side don't seem to plan to let go of mythical characters such as Monkey King, Nezha, Yang Jian, etc.

No IP can withstand such a high-intensity use.

"Cai Cai, you recently helped me pay attention to domestic animation film production companies." Xu Chuan said.

"Understood." Cai Meng didn't ask why, but wrote down the incident.

"Also, we will hold a symposium at the end of this month, and when the time and place are determined, we will send invitations to the directors on this list that I have ticked in the name of the advance fund." Xu Chuan continued.

Hu Anze has the idea of making science fiction, which Xu Chuan knows very well. But he couldn't just stare at Juanze just because he had this idea.

He had to see if there was anyone else who had this idea, maybe there was anyone more capable than Juandze?

"Brother Chuan, do you have to invite Zhao Zhi to come to the town?" Cai Meng immediately said when he heard this.

"Don't shout, what Zhao is the position, that's the Zhao Committee." Xu Chuan sighed.

Ever since she accidentally said something one day, this girl can be regarded as having learned this title.

"Yes, yes, Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei." Cai Meng grinned.

"Let's see when the time comes, it's definitely necessary to invite someone to come to town, but he doesn't necessarily have time." Xu Chuan opened his mouth and said, Zhao Kangnian's level is too high, and he is free at will.

Soon, Xu Chuan and Cai Meng discussed the arrangement of this symposium.

In this way, two days later, Xu Chuan's application for the symposium was reported in text to the "Office of the Special Fund Management Committee" responsible for supervising the fund.

The date is scheduled for October 26. As for the location, Xu Chuan reported that he applied for a conference room for the "film agency".

Here is a concept of popular science, and the work related to the film after March 18 is not under the responsibility of Mr. Guang. Because radio and television, press and publishing, and movies were split.

The last two are directly under the ministry. Guang Zong is in the hospital, but it is also under the co-management of the ministry.

Now the financial management personnel of the Pioneer Fund are actually also working on Zhao Kangnian's side, which is under the jurisdiction of the "Office of the Special Fund Management Committee" mentioned by Xu Chuan just now.

Therefore, it is not abrupt that Xu Chuan wants to go there to hold a symposium. The most important thing is that choosing a hotel is not enough to attract the attention of those directors.

The application for the symposium was quickly approved, and the director of the office in charge of the fund will come, and it is not clear whether Zhao Kang will come or not, but 9 out of 9 will not come.

Again, it's enough to have this director's specifications. Xu Chuan can deal with Zhao Kangnian, which is really a special case within a special case.

In the following time, while preparing for the more specific content of the symposium, Xu Chuan began to ponder the matter of holding music awards that he had talked to Shen Huajin before.

It was also at this time that a topic on the Internet began to heat up.

This topic is that Huawei's new product launch conference is about to begin.

As a leader in the field of information and communication technology in China, Huawei is still relatively competitive in all aspects. The civilian electronic products it produces, after years of development, have naturally been supported by many users.

The time of the press conference is set for 2:30 p.m. on the 15th, at the Oriental Stadium in Shanghai. The maximum capacity of this stadium can reach 18,000 spectators.

Of course, the press conference will definitely not be able to go to so many people, but the number of people at the scene is indeed not small.

For Qiu Yicheng, this is the first time she has come to participate in such an event as a new mobile phone launch conference, recalling the poor performance of her idol predecessors.

She suddenly became a little nervous as well. If this follows in the footsteps of those predecessors, then I will really be a little unbearable.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yicheng muttered in a low voice: "Xu Chuan's mouth is so neat, why can't I learn it." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? After hearing the muttering, the assistant next to him turned around suspiciously. Qiu Yicheng's voice was too small, and she didn't hear it clearly.

"Nothing." Qiu Yicheng shook his head, then got up and walked to the side and raised his voice, it was already two o'clock, and the press conference would start in half an hour.

Qiu Yicheng is opening her voice here, and the venue on the other side is already full of people.

While everyone was waiting for the start of the press conference, they were guessing what kind of surprises there would be at this press conference.

"Grapevine, Hua Wei invited Qiu Yicheng to be the spokesperson of the P series this year, and also wrote a promotional song, and Qiu Yicheng sang at the beginning of the meeting."

"It's really fake, I can't believe it."

"Why am I lying to you, my friend came across the MV for them to shoot a promotional song."

"That's even more implausible, your words that start with a friend sound like they were made up."

"Believe it or not?"

"No, why are you looking for Qiu Yicheng to endorse?"

"What's wrong with Qiu Yicheng? Everyone is famous at home and abroad, and the new first sister in the music scene is good. And she has also endorsed Rolls-Royce before, which is the first and only spokesperson now, and she is very high. ”

"That's what you say."

Time passed slowly with the sound of these people chatting.

While chatting, the venue suddenly darkened, and everyone stopped communicating for a moment. Because they knew that the launch was about to begin.

After two seconds, the large screen in the center of the venue slowly lit up.

This is followed by a panning shot, and the trophy slowly passes by the photo, and among these photos, there is a black and white photo that stands out.

The black-and-white photograph shows an elegant woman in a black dress standing in front of a microphone with many men and women behind her.

Obviously, it's a chorus scene.

Immediately afterward, an ethereal cappella appeared over the venue.

As soon as this song came out, the audience suddenly had some commotion. Because of the audience present with this song, 9 out of 9 people must have heard it.

This is a classic Chinese tune that is not available on the earth, the rhythm is soothing and melodious, and it is very feeling when paired with the picture on the screen.

There is a sentence that Xu Chuan agrees with very much, that is, "what is national is what is global".

Compared with imitating others to create, sometimes showing a little bit of their own national stuff can attract others more.

This applies to any nation in the world. It's like when we travel abroad and want to bring something local as a souvenir, and foreigners are actually the same.

Since Xu Chuan chose to change the MV of "Dream it possible", he naturally hopes to show more different things.

Back in the picture, the camera changes with the singing, and a woman who looks to be in her 60s is sitting on a chair, slapping her hands and singing this ditty tune.

In front of the woman, a little girl was dancing awkwardly.

The woman's expression was kind and gentle, and the little girl giggled. Seeing this, the audience can also guess that this woman is the little girl's grandmother.

Combined with the trophy and photo that just appeared, this woman is actually the lead singer of the choir with outstanding temperament in the photo just now.

Immediately afterwards, the prelude to "Dream it possible", which has been rearranged with a little melody in a minor key, sounds.

There was a beam of chasing light on the stage, and Qiu Yicheng appeared in everyone's field of vision.

If you look closely, the dress she is wearing at the moment is similar to the black dress that the grandmother wore when she was young in the MV, but it is more modern.

"I will run, I will climb, I will soar (I run, I climb, I will fly)~~" Qiu Yicheng's singing began to sound.

In the picture, there is a scene of the grandmother teaching the little girl to sing and dance, and the scene of the grandparents and grandchildren playing is quite warm.

The camera cuts to a little girl appearing on the stage of an elementary school performance, and her grandmother applauds her proudly in the audience.

Subsequently, the camera came to the back of the grandmother, and the picture also transitioned through this back, and the little girl on the stage became a big child, and this big child was played by Qiu Yicheng.

She still performs on stage, but this time the stage is much larger than when she was a child.

Offstage, her grandmother's hair turned gray and her face became much older. The only thing that remains unchanged is the action and expression of the proud applause for the granddaughter, elegant and enthusiastic.

At this time, the audience at the scene was in a commotion again.

The heroine of this MV is Qiu Yicheng?

However, the scene did not give the audience time to think more, because the elements of Huawei's mobile phone appeared in the MV.

The girl played by Qiu Yicheng has to go out to study and find a chance to make her debut.

When she was leaving, her grandmother handed her an old Huawei mobile phone, which represented the timeline of the MV.

The car started, Qiu Yicheng looked back at her family outside the car, and her grandmother smiled and gave her a phone call.

Watching her grandmother's action, Qiu Yicheng's reluctance to leave home made Qiu Yicheng want to cry. In order not to let her grandmother see her sad appearance, she quickly turned her head.

And as the car moved away, grandma's strong smile slowly dissipated, after all, this is the child she brought up from childhood.

The singing also comes to the climax of the chorus.

The MV continues to play, Qiu Yicheng's path to study and practice is not smooth, she will get up early in the morning to practice her voice in an open place, and then she will practice dancing in the dance studio.

Tired, get up, tired again, get up again.

She worked very hard, but she never met the teacher's requirements.

Shake your head, deny, shake your head again, deny again.

This made Qiu Yicheng almost collapse, and it was also in this situation that she often looked at the photos she brought in a daze. And that photo is a photo of her on stage with her grandmother after performing before.

Grandma seemed to feel the granddaughter's state.

In the MV, Qiu Yicheng's mobile phone rang, and it was her grandmother who called her a video.

Qiu Yicheng looked at the phone, took a deep breath, and forcibly put on a smiling face, and then connected to the video, laughing and communicating with the grandmother over there in the video.

However, all kinds of emotions came like a tidal wave, and she couldn't control herself.

She could only quickly turn her head off the camera, covering her mouth and choking.

But in order not to worry her grandmother, Qiu Yicheng, who choked for a few seconds, quickly wiped a handful of tears, put on a smiling face again, and moved her head back to the mobile phone lens.

How could the grandmother on the other side not see her granddaughter's sadness, and just pretended not to know.

It wasn't until after the video hung up that the smile on grandma's face disappeared. The camera zoomed out, and it turned out that my grandmother was now in the hospital, and she was in a good state just now, but she was actually pretending.

After this phone call, Qiu Yicheng's efforts seem to have finally paid off.

She is getting better and better, signing contracts with big companies, working with a professional team, and at the same time she has been given the opportunity to release an album.

The album is selling well and she and her team are celebrating.

In the process, she would record videos and send them to her grandmother, and her Huawei mobile phone was updated several times, which means that she has not been home for several years.

The camera switched again, and Qiu Yicheng, who had matured a lot, finally returned home.

When she got home, she pulled out a stack of concert tickets and handed them to her family, especially her grandmother.

Immediately afterwards, the picture switched to the concert scene of the Bird's Nest, Qiu Yicheng was rehearsing, but during the rehearsal, she received bad news.

Grandma was seriously ill and had no way to come to her concert.

In an instant, Qiu Yicheng's face, which was originally full of joy, instantly became heavy. Her gaze turned to the seat she had reserved for her grandmother in the audience.

The camera freezes on that seat and begins to cut, the picture goes dark, and the cheers around it resound.

And the place that originally belonged to grandma was empty at the moment, but there was a Huawei mobile phone on it.

The perspective switches again, and the grandmother in the hospital is also looking at the phone screen. From the angle of the screen, it can be seen that the perspective of grandma's side is taken by Hua Wei's mobile phone on the chair.

In other words, although grandma didn't make it to the scene, it was like going to the scene through Huawei's mobile phone.

Looking at it, the grandmother closed her eyes peacefully, and the ECG monitoring wave next to her disappeared.

The camera cuts back to the concert again.

A close-up of Qiu Yicheng's face appeared, she pursed her mouth tightly, beads of sweat slid down her face, and tears flashed in her eyes.

The close-up cut panorama, this time taken from behind Qiu Yicheng, the light sticks in the hands of tens of thousands of viewers, forming a bird's nest star sea, which is both spectacular and beautiful.

The song has come to an end, and the MV on the screen is almost over.

But this is the press conference, so Qiu Yicheng's performance at the scene did not end.

I saw that the camera in the big screen slowly pushed closer, until Qiu Yicheng's back occupied the entire screen, and then slowly pulled back.

In the screen, it is still Qiu Yicheng's back, but the audience seat that was originally the Bird's Nest was replaced by the scene of the press conference. In other words, in this way, the transition between the MV and the real-time screen is completed.

Just when the audience didn't know what to do next, the scene sounded the first minor key of Qiu Yicheng's cappella MV.

Then the camera cuts, and the actress who played the grandmother in the MV appears on the screen. She wore that black gown and sat in the audience at the press conference.

The years have not faded her beauty, and her temperament is still elegant.

At this time, she sat in the audience and kept slapping Qiu Yicheng like when she applauded Qiu Yicheng twice in the MV.

Then, the screen was divided into two, on the left was the applauding "grandma", and on the right was Qiu Yicheng, who pursed her lips and had a trace of tears in her eyes.

Her expression was the same as when she was in the Bird's Nest, but the emotions she expressed seemed to be different.

The chorus of "Dream it possible" sounded again at this moment.

This time it sounded in Chinese.

"Just let the light refract the tear-wet pupils~~

Reflect the rainbow that you want to have the most in your heart~~

…………”
