At the China National Space Administration, Wu Yuan chatted a lot with the leaders of the Space Administration and those aerospace scientific research workers.

As a director, his understanding of aerospace is actually relatively one-sided, and his scripts are indeed based on science fiction rather than reality.

But for these scientific researchers, Wu Yuan's script is wonderful, but there are also many loopholes and bugs.

It's something that's hard to avoid.

After all, the movie is a kind of artistic presentation, and some things that are unreasonable in reality, or cannot be achieved scientifically, are important behaviors of the protagonist in the movie.

For example, the potatoes in "The Martian" actually have to be planted on a piece of untreated Martian soil, which is not as simple as in the movie.

With only the manure left behind by astronauts, it is impossible to grow potatoes on Martian soil.

Because Martian soil is poisonous

But the movie, this kind of drama that cannot be played in the whole movie after the change, naturally can only obey the artistic arrangement.

"Gravity" is the same, in Wu Yuan's script, there are many behaviors and pictures that are difficult to achieve or occur in reality.

For example, the origin of all the stories is that a certain space power launched a missile and destroyed an old satellite, which accidentally created a chain reaction that damaged Huaxia's orbiting telescope, spacecraft and space station.

According to the script, the high-speed "swarm" of space junk circles every 90 minutes, creating chaos for the surviving astronauts. ”

One professor lifted the frame of his glasses and denied it: "Swarms of debris are theoretically possible, but not very credible. ”

"Even if you blow up a satellite, it will only form a small cloud of debris, but there will be no chain reactions, because everything is in completely different orbits."

"It's like in a building, the glass on the second floor is broken, and it will fall to the ground, but it is impossible to hit the glass on the fifth and sixth floors, and even the glass on the first floor will not be smashed."

"Because their position is not in a straight line at all."

"And you can't see the debris flying towards you. They will fly ten times as fast as a bullet. ”

"Actually, you can't see them at all."

"It's almost impossible to have the kind of visual effect of space debris flying in front of your eyes in the script."

This professor, surnamed Chen, was very serious about popularizing the space knowledge he could determine from Wu Yuan.

But Wu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Professor Chen, I understand what you mean. ”

"But this is a movie, and a movie needs this kind of impactful and shocking image to create that kind of tense atmosphere."

"Maybe the astronauts didn't see anything, and suddenly there was a hole in the spacesuit, and then they lost consciousness after ten seconds, which is more in line with reality."

"But the audience was confused, didn't understand what was going on, and it wasn't exciting at all."

Professor Chen was silent, but another professor with a whiter beard said again: "Director Wu, you wrote in the script that the heroine used a fire extinguisher to push herself into the rescue spaceship, which is too unrealistic. ”

"It's impossible for a fire extinguisher to have enough power to change tracks."

"In fact, it is more likely that her whole body began to spin and turn her head as soon as the fire extinguisher was sprayed, rather than moving forward so gradually, and it was impossible to fly steadily towards the rescue spacecraft."

"This force is simply not enough, and it completely goes against science."

"Also, the hatch and controls in the script are running into the wrong place."

"It is completely impossible to enter the airlock from the outside, unless the entry has been prepared in advance."

"It is impossible for any astronaut to enter the cabin from the outside when the door of the space station is closed, which means that it is impossible for the heroine to enter the International Space Station from the outside after the accident of the Huaxia space station."

Several professional scientific research workers are all talking nonsense like Wu Yuan to put forward opinions.

As an administrative leader, although his understanding of the aerospace profession is not profound, he also has his own opinions and suggestions.

"That, Director Wu, the country that launched the missile processing satellite at the beginning of your script, it is better not to set it as the Russian Federation, or the United States is more suitable."

"As for the International Space Station, I think maybe we can make it a little bit more fiction-free."

"Why don't you change it to the space station of the Russian Federation?"

"I think in 2020, the Russian Federation will also have its own space station, right?"

"And the International Space Station should be retired at that time."

You know, the planned retirement date of the International Space Station is now 2020, and it has not been postponed and postponed again as it was later.

As for the new International Space Station program, NASA has also repeatedly emphasized that it is advancing.

Therefore, in the eyes of the current Huaxia Space Agency, by 2020, it is estimated that the current International Space Station will be gone, and perhaps there will be three space stations in the sky.

Yes, although it is only 2005, Huaxia does have a space station plan, that is, a three-step manned space project, which was determined in 1992.

"Director Wu, the arrangement of your script on the timeline is indeed very realistic." The leader smiled and said mysteriously: "I won't hide it from you." ”

"According to the phased plan of manned spaceflight, China's space station is expected to be put into operation in 2022, and the first module may be able to go into space around 2018."

"By 2020, we'll really have our own space station."

"But by that time, the Russian Federation and the United States will definitely have new space stations in orbit."

"Considering the issue of international relations, I think that not only the ISS, but also the space station of the Russian Federation should also be in the movie, and it is better to also participate in the rescue work."

"Only in this way can we embody the purpose of harmonious coexistence, joint development, and mutual assistance of space powers in space exploration!"

"Space is the common property of mankind, and all countries in the world also advocate cooperation over competition in space exploration."

Wu Yuan nodded frequently to show that he understood, but he smiled secretly in his heart.

The current Huaxia Space Agency absolutely did not expect that none of the slogans and so-called space exploration programs shouted by the major space powers will be fulfilled by 20 years later.

Only we in China have really done all the planned space exploration work in full accordance with the three-step plan of manned spaceflight and the lunar exploration project!

The space station was completed, the lunar surface acquisition was completed, and the manned lunar landing was also on the schedule, and everything went very smoothly.

The International Space Station in Europe and the United States, which was originally scheduled to be retired in 2020, has not been retired, and it has been postponed until 2030 before it is planned to be decommissioned.

The Russian Federation's space station program is even more on paper.

However, Wu Yuan said in a good manner: "I understand, the script will definitely be revised again in the future, plus the plot of the Russian space station." ”

In recent years, the Russian Federation is still the second largest in the world, and the Soyuz spacecraft is still the world's top manned spacecraft.

To say that there is no Russian Federation in space in 2020 is not believed even by the Americans.

Therefore, it is said that art originates from reality, but in fact, reality is more unpredictable and shocking than movies.

"As for the suggestions of experts and professors, I will consider them, but some important plot points related to the logic of the script, even if they are unreasonable in science or physics, there is no way to modify them."

Wu Yuan glanced at the scientific research workers with burning eyes, "The meaning of the existence of this movie is not to popularize some scientific and physical knowledge to the audience. ”

"As long as Gravity can encourage the Chinese public who don't know about space, to learn more about space, about what that mysterious and magical place looks like, about what the earth looks like in that place, then I think it wins."

"The meaning of the existence of this movie is to awaken the Chinese people who have been focusing on the earth for 5,000 years that it is time to raise their heads and look up at the sea of stars."

"And to do that, you have to treat it as an entertainment piece and not care too much about the details."

After meeting with the leaders and experts and scholars of the China National Space Administration, Wu Yuan and the project "Gravity" received the full support of the China National Space Administration.

As a research department, they can't be an investor in Gravity, but they will still provide 100% technical support, human support, and prop support.

Even after Wu Yuan decided on the actors, he could directly send the actors to the China National Space Administration for various training work of simulated astronauts, and all the treatment referred to the real reserve astronauts.

After receiving strong support and endorsement from the China National Space Administration, Han Dong quickly persuaded the senior management of China Film to become one of the investors of "Gravity".

The production cost budget for this movie is still being made, but it is estimated that it will cost at least 3 to 350 million yuan, and Han Dong waved his hand and took on the cost of 100 million.

For the remaining 250 million miles, Wu Yuan plans to use the Light and Shadow Era as the capital and invest 20 million US dollars, equivalent to 150 million yuan, to control the investment.

The $20 million was drawn directly from the Light Age, and did not occupy the capital chain of the Light and Shadow Age itself.

After the big hit of "The Hangover 2", there was not much else in the Light Age, but more dollars!

But even so, there is still a gap of 100 million in the investment of this movie.

At present, there are not many private film companies in the mainland that can come up with more than 100 million yuan in one go, and Wu Yuan does not want Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea capital to intervene, so he may have to find 2-3 private film companies in the mainland to invest together.

Fortunately, his signboard of "Director Wu Yuan" is still very good, even better than Zhang Yimou's signboard.

This is the current global box office record for Chinese directors!

His film project is definitely the most worthy of investment among all Chinese directors, and the risk is also the lowest!

It's just that Wu Yuan has always done it by himself or only with Zhongying before.

Now that the "Gravity" project is out of the news, I want to find a few partners, from Huayi to Guangguang to Berner and other private film companies, all of them have heard the wind and moved.

Wu Yuan is also very face-saving, as long as the film companies that take the initiative to consult, they all send them a script synopsis.

Anyway, the "Gravity" project has been filed with radio and television, and this matter really can't be hidden.

And the major film companies that saw the synopsis of the script can be regarded as understanding why Wu Yuan, who has never looked for people to cooperate in making cakes, is willing to divide the project this time.

He actually boldly wanted to make a Chinese sci-fi blockbuster, and the cost of starting was 350 million yuan!

Even if this is Wu Yuan, the major mainland film companies are also a little worried.

Sci-fi blockbusters, themes that I couldn't think of before, and I didn't dare to mention them, there are actually mainland directors who want to shoot them!

But after thinking about it, Chen Kaige, who has never proven himself at the commercial box office, can eat an investment of 340 million yuan in a "Wuji", why can't Wu Yuan's "Gravity"?

Anyway, they are all blockbusters, and science fiction and fantasy are also themes that no mainland director has ever dared to try before.

In comparison, Wu Yuan is at least more reliable than Chen Kaige, and he also has gorgeous records and box office results as a guarantee!

By the way, one more mention, the main controller of "Wuji" is also China Film Group.

It can only be said that in the past two years, Han Dong has indeed hollowed out his family foundation in order to take off in the mainland film market and open the era of Chinese blockbusters.

"Red Cliff" and "Wuji" plus "Gravity" almost drained the liquidity in China Film's hands.

If these three movies lose money, then the picture can't be imagined, Han Dong, the helmsman who has dominated the era of Chinese-language blockbusters, is afraid that he will have to eat a lot.

But it is also because China Film is like this, and it also fully invests in "Gravity", which also gives several private film companies a lot of confidence.

State-owned enterprises like China Film have invested, which shows that they are still very secure!

As a result, private film companies such as Huayi, Berner, and Guangguang Media, as well as two new state-owned film groups such as Shanghai Film Group and Huaxia Film Group, which were established not long ago, were all moved.

A group of media newspapers with a keen sense of smell also dug up the filing news of "Gravity" on the radio and television side.

Suddenly, Wu Yuan's new film project was established, and it was a science fiction ticket with a super high investment, which quickly swept the national media magazine like a hurricane.

Even foreign media are vying to reprint the news.

Wu Yuan, science fiction movies, and big investment, these three keywords add up, which is too eye-catching.

Capital and media all flocked to the headquarters building of the light and shadow era in Beijing.

In this center of public opinion, the focus of close attention, Wu Yuan, disappeared in front of the public, did not appear in the company building, but quietly came to the Beijing International Airport.

It's not that he's going abroad, it's that he's here to give people away.

It was not easy to determine the relationship, and the young couple who were in love was about to start a transnational relationship.

Liu Yifei dragged on and on, she really couldn't drag it out, and she had to go to Tokyo to receive professional singing and dancing training.

There is no way, the thank-you meeting for entering the music industry has been held, and it has been announced that it will be temporarily suspended, and it is impossible to give up halfway.

It's just that she just fell in love, and she can't wait to rely on Wu Yuan 24 hours a day, where is she willing to go to Japan.

In the VIP lounge at the airport, she pouted, her big eyes were teaning, "Senior brother, you can say okay, you are going to Japan to see me!" ”

"Got it." Wu Yuan patted the top of her head dotingly, "I will definitely go to see you." ”

"Also, when I'm not by your side, you can't be taken advantage of by other women!" Liu Yifei grabbed the corner of Wu Yuan's clothes, puffed out his mouth, obviously looked very cute, but said in a pretended fierce tone.

"How is that possible?" Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said righteously: "I have Liu Tianxian who integrates the two titles of fairy sister and fairy sister, how can I still look down on other women?" ”

What he said was justified, and Wu Yuan really thought so.

There are all immortals, what do you want?

"Hmph." Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose arrogantly, and then she pulled Wu Yuan's shoulder with satisfaction and leaned in.

Liu Xiaoli, who has been working hard to make air, really didn't see this little couple's flesh, since her daughter became an adult at the age of 18, she felt that she really couldn't control it, so she simply couldn't see it out of her mind, turned her back to them, picked up a fashion magazine and studied it.

Seeing the evasion of the "mother-in-law-to-be", Wu Yuan smiled and put a mouthful on Liu Yifei's smooth and delicate face.

"Then it's decided, when I finish dealing with domestic affairs and go to the United States to shoot "Rush Hour 3", I will definitely go to Japan to see you first."
