Chapter 303 Science Fiction Story(1/3)
After asking the crew for the room numbers of the teachers, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei wanted to say hello to Zhao Jian first, but they didn't know that Zhao Jian had already gone to the studio to look at the scenery.
I came to Huang Lei's room and knocked on the door. Not long after, the door was opened.
Huang Lei opened the door halfway and looked around. When he saw it was Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, he couldn't help but joked: "The two big star producers are back?"
Big star producer...this title made Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei laugh and cry.
Huang Lei thought that the two of them were looking for something to do with him, so he opened the door wide and motioned for the two of them to go in.
Chu Xuan grabbed Huang Lei's shoulders and led him out.
"Brother Lei, I need help." He said.
"What's the matter?" Huang Lei reached out and closed the door.
"It's about the graduation film micro-film." Chu Xuan walked with him in the corridor of the hotel.
Huang Lei raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right. Remember, I'm going to remind you both."
"You must remember, otherwise you won't be able to graduate." Liu Yifei walked beside Chu Xuan.
Huang Lei smiled slightly and said: "It's good to know. What type of short film are you going to make? Youth? City? Campus?"
"Brother Lei, you have the same idea as me at the beginning!" Liu Yifei glanced at Huang Lei and said.
Huang Lei was slightly stunned. What was his initial thought? Does that mean it's not one of these themes?
In his imagination, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were of the same age and with such good looks, they were just right for filming urban, youthful, and campus micro-movies. This type of micro-movies were also the subjects chosen by many senior Beijing Film Academy students in the past.
First, it’s easy to shoot, second, it doesn’t cost much, third, the script is simpler, and fourth, it fits their basic characters.
Just hearing what Liu Yifei said, it was obvious that the themes they chose were not these. Now he was interested and wanted to see what tricks Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were going to play.
In Huang Lei's eyes, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei first invited Liu Yi. Without thinking too much, they knew that Liu Yi was asked to help polish the script.
Then Wen Muye was invited.
Huang Lei nodded. Wen Muye had made several short films of good quality in school. The teacher in the directing department praised him highly, so he was recommended to let Wen Muye join the crew of "Zhu Xian" to study.
In his opinion, it was a good choice for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to choose Wen Muye as the director of their micro-film, and it would also give Wen Muye a chance to practice.
Senior brother and senior sister lead the junior brother, Huang Lei also praised in his heart.
However, the people Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei invited out next made him stunned for a moment.
Zeng Zhengzong from the special effects team? Zheng Min?
"You want to shoot martial arts? Fairies? Mythology?" He guessed several themes in succession. After all, he hired a special effects teacher. This was also his subconscious idea.
Liu Yi, Wen Muye, Zeng Zhengzong and Zheng Min were called out by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and they became curious.
On the sofa in the suite, everyone took their seats and looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, waiting for them to speak.
"Dear teachers, Sissi and I want to make a special effects science fiction micro-movie as our graduation project. We have a rough outline of the story and would like to ask you to help us as consultants." Chu Xuan said sincerely.
"Special effects science fiction?!" Huang Lei said in a stunned voice. He really didn't expect that the micro-movie that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were going to shoot would be of this subject. Not only had it never appeared in a school graduation film, but it was also a vacancy in the domestic film and television industry.
Instead of taking a more conservative path, take an unknown path?
However, the next moment Huang Lei grinned again.
Both Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei became famous at a young age. In just two or three years, they reached high-level positions in the industry and became producers at a young age. This is simply not a path that ordinary people can develop.
Therefore, the thinking of these two people cannot be judged according to common sense. Whether it is the group portrait of "Zhu Xian" or the current science fiction film that has never been done in China, it is obvious that the thinking of these two people is very out of the ordinary and is not subject to the current domestic film and television industry.
The impact of market style.
In his view, the word "jumping away" means that if you fail, you are messing around; if you succeed, you are advanced and ahead of others.
But no matter what, with the support of the brilliant era, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have the confidence to "escape".
Moreover, there are indeed no films of this type in China, so it would be a good idea for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to try their hand at micro-movies.
As for the cost of special effects? Chu Xuan is not short of money either.
In this way, Huang Lei had nothing to say, and only Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei dared to play like this.
"What's the story?"
Zeng Zhengzong and Zheng Min became interested, but they did not expect to be surprised by being called out by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Whether it is visual effects technology or film and television original paintings, they all serve the display of film and television special effects.
In what type of movies can special effects be brought to the extreme? Naturally, science fiction, disaster, magic, and fantasy.
Those who have worked in Hollywood are most interested in this type of movie, because once they get a job in this type of movie, they can not only hone their skills to the greatest extent, but also learn a lot.
Just return to work in China, the domestic film and television industry does not make such films and television dramas, and capital is not willing to spend money in this area, making it difficult for special effects practitioners like them to take on jobs.
Now I heard that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei said they wanted to make a science fiction movie with special effects? Even if it is just a short film, they are very interested.
"Let's read the story first." Liu Yidao said. He knew that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were going to work on their graduation work, so he also knew that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei must have called him to help with the script.
Science fiction? He has never written such a script, and there are not many screenwriters in China who have written science fiction scripts.
Just because you haven't written before doesn't mean you can't do it, it's just that you don't have the opportunity to get exposed to scripts in this area.
Now that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have given him the opportunity to contact this unknown field, he is still very interested.
Even if it is just a script for a science fiction micro-movie, it means that he has gone one step further than his peers, right?
"Dear teachers." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei distributed photocopied manuscripts, which contained a rough outline of a science fiction story they had thought up during the twenty days in Star City.
Wen Mino received a manuscript and felt excited.
I heard that the conversation just now was about the short film of the graduation work of the senior brother and senior sister. If the senior brother and senior sister can ask him to come, it is undoubtedly to let him be the director.
Although he didn't know whether it would be possible, he was both excited and moved by this trust.
Moreover, as a student in the directing department, he started taking genre film courses in his freshman year, including science fiction. He often read the theoretical knowledge in the textbooks using foreign blockbusters as examples. As a young man, based on his unconstrained imagination, he and his classmates naturally
I also have great fantasies about science fiction.
If he has the opportunity to lead a science fiction film, this is something he is looking forward to very much.
He held the manuscript paper and lowered his eyebrows to look at it.
[One year, the earth's ozone layer suddenly and slowly dissipated, the sun's ultraviolet rays gradually spread and irradiated the earth, seawater evaporated, buildings burned and collapsed, and humankind perished instantly.
Subsequently, the sea set off huge waves hundreds of meters high and flooded the city, major earthquakes occurred frequently around the world, and toxic gases inexplicably emerged from the ground and spread on the ground.
In just one year, cities collapsed or sank into the sea. The earth was covered with thick poisonous gas, and the survivors could only live in the dark underground world.
Human beings around the world call this year: the year of the end of the world.
Thirty years later, scientists worked together in the underground world to develop an interstellar spacecraft. Under the attention of the world, a group of scientists took this spacecraft to leave the earth and headed for unknown star fields, intending to find a planet suitable for human survival.
Although this seems unbelievable, it is the only hope left for all mankind.
Therefore, this interstellar journey is called by humans: hope.
After a long journey, scientists still have not found a planet suitable for human survival, but they have not found nothing. They have collected a lot of cosmic information and data through the artificial intelligence brain of the spacecraft, and have developed one after another with this information and data.
Theoretical technology.
Perhaps, even if they do not find a planet suitable for human survival, they can still find a solution to human survival if they return to Earth with these data theories.
However, when passing through an unknown star field, it was pulled and interfered by mysterious gravity. The spacecraft malfunctioned, the brain went into sleep, the gravity system failed, and the oxygen system leaked.
The entire spacecraft suddenly fell towards a planet. In the process, the scientists on board died one after another due to lack of oxygen or impact.
When the spacecraft crashed on an unknown planet, only a man and a woman were left alive.
The structure inside the spacecraft was not damaged, but the lack of oxygen forced them to find ways to leave the closed cabin as soon as possible and find a way to survive.
They went through each cabin and saw the tragic death of scientists in the cabin. They were extremely sad.
With this grief, they found a hatch to open the spacecraft. Faced with the unknown situation outside, when they plucked up the courage to open the hatch...
They discovered that this is a planet suitable for human habitation.】
"This story attracted me. It feels like a literary science fiction film." Huang Lei moved his body to make himself sit more comfortably.
"The so-called hope finally fell on the heads of the male and female protagonists, but the story ended abruptly, with no follow-up and an open ending." He said.
"It's a big brain," he added.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other without saying anything, waiting for what the other teachers would say.
"The story itself is good. The final ending is a double tragedy. The first is the tragedy that almost all scientists die, and the second is the tragedy that a planet suitable for human survival is finally found but almost all people die. So all the tragedy
The responsibility rests on the shoulders of the male and female protagonists, but as Teacher Huang Lei said, this is an open ending with no follow-up." Liu Yidao.
In his opinion, although the story outline has no details and the logic in some places does not make sense, the details and logic can be filled in by the screenwriter. Just reading this story is still more attractive.
However, if this story is changed into a script, there is still a big problem.
Liu Yi looked up at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and said: "It's the end of the world again, it's building a spaceship, it's interstellar navigation, and finally it's crashing. Not to mention the plot, the production time of these special effects alone is laborious enough. You should be
The homework is due in June, right?”
Liu Yi tilted his head slightly to look at Zeng Zhengzong and Zheng Min, and said, "Is this time enough?"
Although Zeng Zhengzong was attracted by the story, or to be precise, by the special effects scenes included in the story, he didn't think much about it. Based on his many years of experience in the special effects industry, he made a casual judgment and knew that time was indeed a problem.
To be continued...
