Chapter 6 Gift Pieces (2/3)
Heavy industry movies have always been the foundation of Orange!
As a branch of heavy industry, science fiction films are definitely also Orange’s key projects.
Five works "The Wandering Earth", "Bring Her Eyes", "Full Band Blockage Interference", "Supernova Era", and "Sphere Lightning" have been launched...
Among them, "The Wandering Earth" and "Full-band Blocking Interference" are the most mature. "The Wandering Earth" is scheduled to be released next year's Spring Festival, and "Full-band Blocking Interference" will have to wait another year.
The other three projects require major changes to the original work!
Especially "Bring Her Eyes", it is very difficult to shoot, unless it is adapted at the same time as "The Cannon of Earth"...
There is not much description of the plot.
The focus is on the description deep in the earth's crust - everything melts into magma and rolls, the entire earth presses on her, and she spends the remaining fifty and sixty years alone in that small space, without any connection with the outside world.
How do you adapt this?
However, "Sphere Lightning" is different, and you can make several series...
There is a short story about the birth of "Glob Lightning". In 2005, Liu Cixin suffered a severe pain in her right rib and thought that she must have liver cancer. She was too restrained and did not go to the hospital and told no one. Instead, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain and wrote "Glob Lightning" as her last work.
After finishing writing, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that it was actually just a small disease that was cured by rib tissue hyperplasia and just taking two injections of antibiotics. It was simply a dark humor.
The ancients said that life and death are also great.
Because of this, Lao Liu injected all his life energy into "Sphere Lightning" at that time. This is his work that he loves, full of cold fate and tenacious struggle, and even wrote about the other world of quantum states.
"Sphere Lightning" contains Liu's consideration of life and death: the process of human death is the process of changing from a strong observer to a weak observer, and then changing from a non-observer.
As for "Three-Body Problem"...
Let’s talk about the background of the birth of "The Three-Body Body". After "The Ball Lightning", Liu Cixin’s style has changed a bit. The Three-Body Body Story is the most grand idea that Liu Cixin has accumulated for many years and has never realized it. After "The Ball Lightning", what do you think there is anything to worry about?
So we saw the wild writing method of "The Three-Body Problem": Red Bank Project, Zhizi Project, Three-Body Problem Game, eto, cosmic sociology, wall-facing plan, dark battle, dark forest, sword-holding man, bunker plan, black domain plan, two-way foil, small universe... Any setting is actually enough to support a long story. He used dozens of them at once, and did not feel sorry for him at all. He used a large number of awesome concepts to bomb readers, allowing the readers' experience to climb to an incredible height in constant shock.
The "Three-Body Problem" series is the master and peak of Liu Cixin's science fiction thought. It has used up all the inventory accumulated over the years. I don't know how long it will take to accumulate to write works of the same quality later!
Lu Xiaoran likes "Sphere Lightning" very much because its protagonist Dr. Chen is a passerby who is so good...
Fascinated by something, and then give it a lifetime for it - run the supporting role with dignity!
The adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" have been obtained by Orange. This project will have to wait for at least five years until Lu Xiaoran completely relaxes and concentrates on it!
...
"Today's 70th anniversary next year, should we make a gift film?"
"…You reminded me of your words!"
Lu Xiaoran immediately opened his email address and called up two works: "My Motherland and Me" and "My Hometown and Me": "Let's take a look!"
Zhong Lifang and Zhang Jin quickly watched...
"My Motherland and Me" and "My Hometown and Me" are essentially like "The Founding of a Country", and are both a habit of building a star.
The difference is that "My Motherland and Me" and "My Hometown and Me" are the main directors, and many filmmakers are invited to participate in the creation. The former is Lu Xiaoran, the director of Zhang Yimou, the director of the latter is also Amou, and Ning Hao is the director of the director.
"Seven short films are collaged into a feature film. In the context of the general background, individual narratives are selected from the founding of the country to the recent years as the background of the era, and praise the nameless individuals who have promoted these historic moments or were influenced by them, thereby reflecting the great development and prosperity of the motherland over the past decades."
"From the director to the actor, you must use the type you like!"
“Will the investment be high?”
"…How high can it be? Let's cooperate with China Film or China Film to offer gift movies. Everyone symbolically collects some money, mainly to celebrate their motherland's birthday!"
Zhong Lifang and Zhang Jin thought about it for a while and thought it was feasible...
"What directors are you going to find?"
"Ning Hao, Yang Qing, Su Lun, Wu Jing, Wen Muye, Wu Ershan and me, seven people are enough!"
“…Where is director Yimou?”
"He seems to be going to participate in directing the National Day party next year, and he may not have time..."
"Yes, then you can coordinate with them for time..."
"Yeah." After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoran still didn't give up and asked: "Are you so unfaithful in martial arts themes?"
"…Unless another Jin Yong appears and a prosperous martial arts era is inevitable, the decline of martial arts is inevitable!"
...
Once sitting in the office, Lu Xiaoran had the idea of writing something...
In addition to "Sword Rain", the filming plan for the next few years also includes "No. 81192" and "Road forward" with the main theme...
"No. 81192" was filmed at the narrative rhythm of "Top Gun".
"Going forward" is a movie that praises firefighters...
This is not difficult for Lu Xiaoran. He is preparing to take the time to shoot a multi-line narrative movie!
A director will always give a show-off summary of his directorial skills in the second and third plays.
This kind of show-off is rare in the directorial career.
It usually only appears in the early works of many directors.
For example, Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing"...
When he arrived at "The Heart of Flowers" and "Crazy Alien", he began to tell stories honestly!
Lu Xiaoran probably is a little idle...
Multi-line narrative, the story must be black, revolving around a kidnapping case, three lines, kidnappers, kidnappers, family lines...
Just thinking about it, I called my home and asked him if he would go home...
Boss Lu packed up his things and went out directly. As for the project he was conceived - there was time!
Zhong Lifang chased after her slightly fat figure, and after running a few steps, she started to pant: "Xiaoran!"
"…What's wrong?"
"Just... I just received the news that you were selected as the representative of 100 outstanding private entrepreneurs for the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up!"
Lu Xiaoran was delighted: "Really?"
"…Um."
"This is a good thing!"
"And you are the only one selected in the entire entertainment field!"
Chapter completed!
