"The wind and sand here should be added a little more."

"And here, the processing is too vague, readjust."

"I'll take another look at the reshot from the other day."

In the industrial light and magic special effects company, Wu Yuan is adjusting the special effects of "The Martian" with a group of special effects artists.

Although this movie is positioned as a "sci-fi blockbuster", to be honest, there are not many special effects scenes used in this movie.

In addition to the evacuation of the Mars base team members at the beginning, there are also some rescue rockets launched by the earth in the middle and late stages, and a small part of the plot such as the male protagonist using the return capsule to escape on Mars requires a lot of special effects, and nearly 80% of the remaining pictures are shot in real life.

Most of the plot content, including the most important surface of Mars, was also filmed in Jordan, and only some special effects were needed for the sky.

After all, the Light Age is a small business, and the kind of movies that often require tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of special effects shots are really not something that the Light Age can afford.

Like the visual blockbuster "Avengers 1", which is full of real special effects, the production cost is $220 million.

The production cost of the follow-up "Avengers 3" soared to $300 million, and "Avengers 4" was even higher, spending a record $356 million.

In comparison, the production cost of "The Martian" is only a little more than 100 million US dollars, and the biggest gap is the money spent on special effects.

However, the total budget of "The Martian" is still nearly 200 million US dollars, because there is still a 70 million publicity budget.

There are not as many blockbusters in this regard, such as the Avengers series, which have a publicity budget of 1-150 million US dollars.

Of course, for The Martian, 70 million is enough.

After all, this movie is not going for the box office of $17.8 billion.

It's just that during this period of time, when he was doing the post-production, Wu Yuan had to reshoot some scenes, and asked the assistant director of the crew to go back to the United States to shoot some leftovers, Wu Yuan was a little dissatisfied, and he shot it himself again, which also delayed the time a lot.

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to June 2012, but the post-production work of "The Martian" has not yet been completed, and it will take at least two months.

"It looks like it's not going to be a summer vacation."

"It can only be released in October."

Wu Yuan reluctantly called John and asked him to arrange the finalization of the release with Warner.

Although it was not released in his most comfortable summer file, it was not a bad schedule to be released in October.

If Wu Yuan remembers correctly, the original "The Martian" was released in October, and the global box office results achieved later were also good.

For Hollywood blockbusters, the schedule is relatively not so important, as long as the film is good, there is a chance of a big hit all year round, not like in China, where the Chinese New Year file is proud.

And Wu Yuan called John on the front foot to inform him of the finalization of "The Martian", and he received a call from China on the back foot.

"Senior brother, when are you going to return to China?"

"In another month, I'll go back to China, what's wrong?"

"I've got a script here."

The call came from Liu Yifei.

Since Wu Yuan flew to the United States for the post-production of "The Martian" and the sale of the company, Liu Yifei has picked his feet in China.

After the release of "Love Letter", she stayed at home again and became an otaku, only occasionally appearing to participate in one or two events to maintain a minimum exposure.

After careful calculation, she has not been in the group for more than half a year, and she has not taken the book since she finished filming "Love Letter".

It's not that Liu Yifei doesn't want to take on new plays, it's just that when she invited Wu Yuan with those scripts before, she was disgusted and criticized by Wu Yuan.

What movies such as "Hongmen Banquet", "Four Famous Catches" and "Nie Xiaoqian" are really not good.

The only interesting "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King", Xu Ke invited her to play the Oiran, which is the role played by Yang Ying in the movie.

The revealing dress, coupled with the rather charming and prodigal character requirements, Wu Yuan could never agree, and Liu Yifei refused.

In this kind of situation where there are no good scripts to come to the door, Liu Yifei naturally chooses to mess up at home, she is not the kind of person who accepts any movie in order to make money.

Even if she has a good script, she always takes one film after another, thinking that in this way she can devote herself to the filming of the film and show her best performance.

When there is no good script, it is better to lack than to abuse, anyway, with Liu Yifei's current fame and influence, it is no longer necessary to continue to be exposed to maintain his fame.

Even if she doesn't have a new work for a year or two, she is still a fairy sister in the minds of domestic audience fans, and her blood is so thick.

But a good script came to the door, and she must be happy to take it.

On the phone, Liu Yifei told Wu Yuan in detail about the new script she received.

It is a new script of director Han Yan, who was trained by the company's previous young director support program.

On the original trajectory, the current Han Yan should be cooperating with LeTV and filming their online drama for LeTV.

However, because Han Yan's life trajectory has been changed in this life, he grew up early because of the young director support plan, and was valued by the investment of the light and shadow era, so he did not go to be a director of online dramas for a living, but has been researching and polishing his next film plan.

So "Roll Over!" was supposed to be completed and started filming in 2014. Tumor Jun", in this life, Han Yan has made a script in 2012, and began to find investment to pull the crew to shoot.

The film is based on Xiong Dun's comic of the same name, on February 2, 2012, Xiong Dun began to post in Tianya with the title of "Get Out, Tumor, Record the Hospital Days of Fighting Tumors", Han Yan saw this post for the first time, and contacted Xiong Dun to understand the situation with her, and then wrote her story into the first version of the script.

There is no doubt that if Han Yan wants to make a new movie, the preferred partner must be the era of light and shadow.

After all, he is still a contracted director in the Light and Shadow Era, and he has always been paid a salary to support him in the Light and Shadow Era, otherwise how could he be so committed to making scripts.

And here in the era of light and shadow, because Wu Yuan attaches great importance to the young director plan, Li Xiaoping also attaches great importance to these directors who stand out, and Han Yan, who signed a contract with the company, is not stingy with investment, and soon passed "Roll over! Tumor Jun" was approved.

Han Yan naturally began to look for actors, and the first actor he found was Liu Yifei, who wanted to invite her to play the heroine Xiong Dun.

In "Your Name" before, Liu Yifei's performance left a deep impression on Han Yan, especially her courage to shave her head in the movie, which Han Yan appreciated.

It just so happened that Xiong Dun was also going to lose his hair due to chemotherapy in the film, so Han Yan wanted to invite Liu Yifei to play the heroine.

After all, she is famous, has high box office appeal, and is the company's own boss, so she must be the best choice! (End of chapter)
