Chapter 279: I went because I was insane
"Mr. Xu, I really didn't expect you to talk about these things in a lecture today." On the car back from Jingying, Wu Yunfei was still thinking about Xu Chuan's lecture just now.
Xu Chuan smiled when he heard this: "If you don't talk about this, then what do you think I should say?" ”
"That's naturally what you said at the beginning, for example, your understanding of science fiction and the future development direction of science fiction film and television;
There is also the significance of science fiction films for the development of our country's film industry and so on. I don't believe what you said on stage, your understanding will be very shallow.
No matter how bad it is, I can talk about how big the prospect of doing science fiction is now, and the economic potential of our Huaguo in this area. Put some data out and tell them how much money they can make in the future if they participate. ”
Hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded and said, "What Mr. Wu said makes sense, I'll just say that I always feel that something is wrong in this lecture, and I was suddenly opened by Mr. Wu so little." ”
"Kidding me, aren't you?" When Wu Yunfei saw Xu Chuan say this, she immediately leaned her head towards Xu Chuan, looking disrespectful.
She has never been the only one who has flirted with someone Xu, and she will not suffer this kind of loss.
Seeing that Wu Yunfei seemed to be about to drive out of the car in the next moment, Xu Chuan hurriedly said: "It stands to reason that I should indeed speak according to that line of thought."
But you still don't know enough about college students. Believe me, those students must have talked about the things you just said.
This age is the time to scold Fang Xuan. How big is the prospect of science fiction movies, and what is the potential of Huaguo.
They already have their own answers in their own hearts, and they are all things that can be found on the Internet, so they don't need me to talk about them. ”
"That's not right, their answers may not be right, and the data they get is not as accurate as yours."
Wu Yunfei didn't say this by holding Xu Chuan, he could indeed access data that many people couldn't reach, and what came out of his mouth was of course much more accurate than what those students themselves knew.
"Does a more accurate number make sense to them?" Xu Chuan suddenly asked rhetorically.
"Huh?" Wu Yunfei was stunned by this question.
"Suppose they think that the future sci-fi market will be 31.3 billion, and I tell them 32.7 billion now, does that make sense?" Xu Chuan made up a number and said.
Without waiting for Wu Yunfei to continue answering, Xu Chuan continued: "It's meaningless, they have an answer in their hearts, if my answer is quite different from theirs."
Their attention will be on proving that my conclusions are right or wrong. If I had accidentally slipped a few more times in a lecture, guess what would have happened? ”
"This ......" Wu Yunfei fell into thought when she heard this, if it was really like Xu Chuan, then this lecture would be in vain, and everyone would only grasp those few points.
"After all, it's Jingying there, and those students have more solid theoretical knowledge than me, even if the students are not as good as me, their teachers must be better than me in this regard.
They have heard too much about it, what can I say? Besides, do you really think that I am speaking to those students this lecture? Xu Chuan said and turned his head to look at Wu Yunfei.
"Isn't it?" Wu Yunfei couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, who else could she tell if she came to the school to give a lecture to students?
"Yes and no." Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "They are too young, and some of them are even in a state of 'childhood'. They may not be able to understand what I am saying, and naturally they may not be able to talk about any feelings. ”
"And what is your lecture?"
"I told it to our crew, and by the way, to those outstanding colleagues in society."
When Wu Yunfei heard this, her eyes blinked a few times. She seemed to understand what Xu Chuan meant, so she didn't reply, but quietly waited for Xu Chuan's next words.
"Look at the comments on the Internet that are not optimistic about my investment. To be honest, these things have had very little effect on me.
But for those colleagues in our crew, these public opinions are quick knives. Not only that, but it is also a blow to those peers in society who still have illusions about science fiction movies.
You say, will the filming of our "Wandering Blue Star" go so smoothly?
Impossible, this is the first time we have made such a big sci-fi movie in China.
So, in the process of production, all the people involved in the production must go through a very painful process. Because there are so many things that are being tried.
Yes, I can improve everyone's treatment and give more money. But sometimes money is really not everything, and I don't have so much money to smash everyone can leave everything behind.
After all, there is not only our "Wandering Blue Star" crew in this world, and people can not earn our money.
Adhering to the principle that there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are more people who are willing to give up, you don't have it in our crew?
I, you, Hu Anze, and those brothers and sisters in the crew are pure pioneers in making hard science fiction movies in China now.
Naturally, I am confident that I will be able to do a good job. But for them, the future is uncertain, and they don't know what kind of results they can get after a few years of investment?
At this time, if you want to persevere, if you want to overcome the difficulties and obstacles on the road of pioneering, you must have some faith in your heart to support.
Fighting for Chinese movies is naturally a kind of belief. But this belief is too tiring to carry. We can't take this as the mission of this film either, it's not a good thing.
It will only put more pressure on the crew colleagues, who are already under great pressure.
People's ability to resist pressure is limited, and the first thing that real literary and artistic creation needs is love, and then it is to prove something.
Therefore, I hope that everyone can have some naïve but innocent things to support themselves to move forward, throw away their burdens and travel lightly.
But these thoughts, I can't say in the crew. I have to find a third-party occasion to say it to be effective, and Zhang Mingyuan's discussion from = teasing is a good occasion. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Chuan smiled at Wu Yunfei and Hexi next to him.
And Wu Yunfei's eyes when she looked at Xu Chuan were full of inexplicable emotions, and in the end, this inexplicable feeling turned into a feeling called admiration.
With this kind of admiring look, Wu Yunfei unconsciously relied on her instinct and continued to ask: "That's why you came to give a lecture unusually?" ”
"Yes and no, I think it's good for those students to listen to it, maybe it will be of some benefit to them in the future." Xu Chuan shook his head and said.
"You said, among our peers, is there anyone like you said and loved."
"Absolutely." Xu Chuan said without doubt when he heard this.
He then continued: "So, this time I really didn't talk about the future outlook or data at all. Because I believe that these things are clear to those peers, and I don't need to talk about them at all.
Who doesn't know how profitable science fiction movies can be if they are done well. The problem is that the current environment makes people don't think they can make this money.
I'm looking forward to it now, and I can come to some excellent colleagues who are 'childlike' to walk with us, but now the domestic strength of the crew is still weaker.
After all, Hu Anze's appeal is limited, and the so-called Disney doesn't really pay much attention. The most important thing is that I really can't trust those foreigners. ”
"Will those peers join us?" Wu Yunfei seemed to have become a curious baby, looking up at Xu Chuan with a hint of admiration and asking some innocent questions.
Xu Chuan didn't reply when he heard this, but opened the car window and stretched out his hand.
Feeling the cool breeze passing through his fingertips, he slowly spoke: "Yun Fei, did you fold paper airplanes when you were a child?" ”
"Stacked, what's wrong." Wu Yunfei was puzzled.
"When I was a kid, I folded a paper airplane and it flew into the sky with some of my whims, and now it's flying back into my hands. The paper airplanes of those peers' childhood always flew back. ”
When Wu Yunfei heard this, her whole person felt wrong, and her eyes when she looked at Xu Chuan quickly turned into water.
It was at this time that the co-pilot suddenly heard a voice: "! Brother Chuan, how did you come up with such a dick? Besides, say more, I have to write it down and use it to pretend. ”
This voice made the atmosphere in the car disappear for a moment.
Xu Chuan glanced at Cai Meng on the co-pilot angrily, and said while closing the window: "Such dick words are naturally said by a very dick person, and I also copied it, just this sentence, there is no more." ”
"Hahaha." Wu Yunfei, who was originally immersed in some inexplicable emotions, was instantly amused by Xu Chuan and Cai Meng, the two living treasures.
Another day passed.
The video of Xu Chuan's lecture at Jingying was edited and posted on the Internet. The video didn't spark much of a reaction on the internet.
Ordinary people are not interested in this. Peers may be interested, but they may not be able to bear to take a look.
However, when the crew watched the lecture one by one, many people's reactions were very strong.
Among them, the strongest reaction has to be the director Hu Anze.
Listening to Han Liutian, Hu Anze locked himself in the room and cried bitterly.
On the one hand, it triggered an association with himself through Xu Chuan's story. On the other hand, he was moved by Xu Chuan, the biggest investor, to help him relieve the pressure.
It is indeed a pressure relief.
After all, Xu Chuan compared this project to an art book for five cents. The meaning is that as long as everyone does their best.
Even if this movie is used by the audience as a "fire paper" at the end, it is also the most precious thing on his side of Xu Chuan.
For Hu Anze and other main creators, no matter whether this is Xu Chuan pretending to say it outside or not, as long as it is said, whether it is true or false will not affect their touch.
After all, what they have heard most over the years is questioning and even ridiculing.
Of course, Xu Chuan didn't plan to waste his lecture this time, he still hoped that some peers could see it.
The question is, how can you let your peers see it?
It's definitely not okay to deliberately hype up this video on the Internet, and you need to have some skill to bring out the topic of this video through other things.
So, the day after the video was released.
The official account of the movie, originally titled "Samsung Copper Tower", released two official news.
The first news, the crew of "Samsung Copper Tower" officially changed its name to the crew of "Wandering Blue Star".
The second news, Ning Kaijun announced that he would join the crew of "Wandering Blue Star".
As soon as these two news appeared, they immediately caused a lot of discussion.
The first thing is the name change, which can be regarded as a direct carnival of sunspots.
The reason is very simple, the script of "Samsung Copper Tower" was consciously released by Xu Chuan, just to make public opinion hot when the name was changed.
For this purpose, one can imagine what the story that was released was.
In addition, Xu Chuan has a lot of sunspots, and while they persistently hack him, they start the story of the expansion of the magic reform.
The version of "Samsung Copper Tower" that is now circulating on the Internet is so outrageous that I can't see it.
Let's put it this way, "Shanghai Fortress" may be better than the current online version of "Samsung Copper Tower".
Now that they see that the crew has changed their name, isn't that the climax on the spot?
What are the comments such as "covering your ears and stealing the bell", "changing your name and thinking you can fool the past".
It is precisely because of this status quo that Ning Kaijun, who just won another award, joined "Wandering Blue Star" for the audience of Blue Star Domestic Entertainment.
It is tantamount to on the earth, Chen Daoming and several other top veteran actors announced that they would join "Shanghai Fortress 2", highlighting a surprise and incomprehension.
However, if you don't understand, you don't understand, you just have to watch the fun, and for most people, it has nothing to do with them.
But Xu Chuan's sunspots, at this time, put on the vest of Ning Kaijun's decades-old fans, and ran to his Weibo to persuade him bitterly.
What to say [Teacher Ning, don't be fooled, some people's mouths have always been able to blow, don't fool you when the time comes]
[This is trying to harm you, Teacher Ning]
[Hurry up and run Ah Ning, there will be no good results if you mix with some people]
Should I say it or not, just this operation, I was stunned by Ning Kaijun's true fans.
Xu Chuan had actually expected such public opinion.
In fact, Ning Kaijun had long known that this situation would occur. He even thought that even if he didn't, Xu Chuan would have to buy some water troops to come over and fight back.
Soon, the news related to [Ning Kaijun's joining "Wandering Blue Star" was questioned by fans] was hyped by many marketing accounts.
As a result, more people joined the discussion.
There are some people who follow in the footsteps of sunspots and continue to be black. Of course, most people think these people are a little too intimidating.
What's wrong with a human actor taking over Xu Chuan's play?
Yes, the Internet is very unoptimistic about this project right now. But this can't ignore that Xu Chuan's past projects have been very successful.
The collision of views between the two sides on the Internet has made the matter more and more interesting.
It was at this time that Ning Kaijun's Weibo updated a piece of content, which can be regarded as a response to this public opinion.
I saw Ning Kaijun write [I met Xiaochuan at last year's Feitian Awards, and at that time it was just a nodding acquaintance, and there was no specific intersection.
Later, we had a meal together by chance, and I have been very impressed with him ever since.
A few days ago, he approached me and said that he had invested in a science fiction film project, hoping that I could play a more important role in it.
At first, I refused, because I had never acted in a sci-fi movie, and I was afraid that my ability was limited and I would not be able to interpret this role well.
Ogawa may have guessed my reaction, so he sent me two copies of his own science fiction.
Among them is the story of "Wandering Blue Star", I hope I can read it first before making a decision.
Friends who know me know that I do have a habit of reading, but I am more often reading history.
I have very little contact with science fiction, so it can be said that my perception of science fiction is in a relatively blank state.
In my previous conceptions, science fiction may be a magnificent creative extension. Or maybe it's an idea setting that lets your imagination fly.
But after I finished reading the two books written by Ogawa. I'm not afraid to joke about it, but it was as if a new world had been opened before my eyes.
Immersed, I felt as if I was in an epic of the future; In addition to the aftertaste, I feel that reading it is no different from the feeling of reading history in the past.
After reading them, I solemnly put these two books on my shelf, and placed them on the right next to the twenty-four histories, which I often read.
When I put it up, I stood in the middle of them and looked at it for a long time.
Looking at it, I saw a magnificent history on the left; What you see on the right is still a magnificent "history".
At that moment, I felt as if I was not standing in front of the bookshelf, but between history and "history".
It just so happened that the day before yesterday, Xiaochuan gave a lecture related to science fiction in Jingying. Although I didn't go to the site, I found a video of the lecture at that time and wanted to learn about it.
I was surprised but deeply moved by the stories of science fiction and childhood that he told in the lecture.
I didn't have as much of a wretched imagination as he did in my childhood. My only wish at that time was to be able to eat more, and eat more.
If you can wear some good clothes, have a good house in the future, and marry a beautiful wife and give birth to a son and a half daughter, it will be the best happiness in life.
Naturally, the development of society has far exceeded my expectations, giving me a life that is much higher than I imagined.
Suddenly, I realized that there were constantly trains with the words "ever-changing" whizzing past me, but I rarely bought a ticket to go up and take a seat.
Now that I'm getting old, if I don't go up again, I'm afraid I'll never have a chance to enjoy the scenery again. 】
Ning Kaijun's blog post is very long, unexpectedly long.
Originally, he just hoped that Old Man Ning could help bring the topics of the two books "The Wandering Earth" and "The Three-Body Problem", which had already been printed.
"The Wandering Earth" Xu Chuan has not yet decided whether to sell it to the public, mainly because he is afraid that spoilers will affect the movie.
"The Three-Body Problem" must be sent out, and Xu Chuan needs a strong book to prove his ability to create science fiction stories.
In addition to the topic of these two books, Xu Chuan also asked the old man to help mention his speech by the way, so that his peers could notice.
But I really didn't expect that Old Man Ning could write such a long list of feelings. Moreover, some things are made up by the old man, and it was not a few days ago that he asked him to act.
Not only that, but he also attached two photos taken by himself under the copy. The first photo shows two books side by side on a table.
The second is naturally the appearance of the bookshelves side by side with the 24th History mentioned in his blog post.
Speaking of which, Mr. Ning really rarely plays Weibo, and when Weibo moves, it is basically the assistant who helps him forward the publicity of some works.
Like the one posted today, it's rare to see one in a year.
All of this surprised Xu Chuan too much.
He suddenly remembered that Ning Kaijun suddenly called one day and said to him with a hometown accent, "Xu Chuan'er, your "Three-Body Problem" is also specially written".
It seems that there is one more die-hard book fan of "The Three-Body Problem".
Xu Chuan was so surprised, and the reactions of those peers and ordinary viewers who saw this Weibo at this time can be imagined.
"This Xu Chuan poured some ecstasy soup into Teacher Ning, I have never seen him praise a person like this." In an artistic studio in the capital, a man said to the person next to him in surprise.
This man's name is Jin Shangqi, the top film art boss in China. And the man next to him is called Ye Yuxin, who is also a big guy and focuses on movie concept design.
Ye Xingyu shook his head while swiping his mobile phone when he heard this: "Ghost knows, Xu Chuan is famous for being able to speak."
No, I said, why can't I find this book called "The Wandering Earth" and "The Three-Body Problem" on the Internet? ”
"Can't find it? It's not on sale. After hearing this, Jin Shangqi guessed a rough idea, and as he spoke, he had already started to search for another information in the browser.
Soon, a video appeared on his computer screen, titled [Xu Chuan Jingying Lecture Full Video]
At this time, Ye Yuxin also put down his mobile phone and looked up at the screen.
They wanted to see what Xu Chuan was talking about, which made Ning Kaijun pull out his childhood.
After a few hours, the video was finished.
Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin, you look at me, and I see that you haven't spoken for a long time.
In the end, Jin Shangqi couldn't help but speak: "Is it so naïve? ”
"yes, I think it's naïve too." Ye Yuxin pursed his lips vigorously and nodded in agreement.
After the two of them said these two words, the room fell silent again.
After being silent for more than ten seconds, Jin Shangqi said again: "No, this is too naïve!" ”
"Yes, I didn't expect Xu Chuan to be such a naïve person. He even wrote a theme song for such a thing. Well, that's not how talent works, right? Hahahahaha"
"Hahahaha." After saying this, the two of them laughed at the same time, nodding their heads unconsciously while laughing.
The laughter lasted for about three seconds, and then I couldn't stop laughing.
The eyes of the two men slowly lowered to the ground, and their heads were still moving unconsciously.
Silence fell into the room again.
After I don't know how long, the two of them slowly looked at each other.
Jin Shangqi suddenly pointed at Ye Yuxin and said in a teasing tone: "You kid has always been naïve, you won't be influenced by what Xu Chuan said." ”
"Hahahaha, how can I, what can I think." Ye Yu immediately laughed.
Smiling and smiling, he pointed at Jin Shangqi and said, "No, I said that you have the qualifications to call me naïve." Oh, I see, did you have the idea of your own and put the pot on my head. ”
"It's not a rake. I can't finish the project, I'm full enough to get involved in Xu Chuan's business? They weren't looking for me. ”
"You'll go if you're found, right?" Ye Yu immediately asked rhetorically.
"Eh, don't talk nonsense, domestic science fiction movies, the money is too hard to make, I only went because of my nervousness! Hahaha. It's you, who do things that don't make sense. ”
"If you don't have a nervous disorder, can it be that I have a nervous disorder? I'm sure I won't go either, hahahahaha. Ye Yuxin also laughed when he saw this.
"Right? Hahahahaha, I said, how is it possible. ”
"yes, that's for sure, hahahahaha."
"Hahahaha······ Haha····· Ha ······ Forehead ······"
The two of them laughed and laughed, and the laughter was uncontrollably getting drier.
"Ouch, it's boring, I went home to sleep, I didn't have a good rest last night." Jin Shangqi suddenly stretched and got up.
"Okay, then I won't send you." Ye Yuxin nodded and said.
"When did you send it?" After Jin Shangqi finished speaking, he walked outside, and after leaving the studio, he immediately took out his mobile phone and found Ning Kaijun's phone.
At the same time, in the office, Ye Yuxin was talking into the phone and said, "Teacher Ning, are you at home?" ”
