"Come back early tonight, the neighborhood committee is handing out dumplings!"
"Forget it, you are stuffed with mushrooms again? I have been eating stuffed mushrooms for ten years."
"It's different this time, it's a new flavor, it's three delicacies... mushroom stuffing!"
The film is set during the Spring Festival of 2075. The protagonist Liu Qi comes out of his small and cramped residence and bumps into a neighborhood committee aunt wearing a red sleeve band.
The aunt has gray hair, wears a floral shirt, and speaks an authentic Beijing accent.
"..."
Looking at this aunt, the boss glanced at Yao Yuan meaningfully and said, "You are quite thoughtful."
"It's mainly to enhance the atmosphere and enhance the contrast effect. Look how interesting this aunt is."
Yao Yuan pretended to be stupid.
"snort!"
The boss snorted lightly and did not criticize him.
In the 1980s, one of the reasons why the scientific and literary circles were clamoring against science fiction was a setting that often appeared in science fiction works: anarchy.
This is prohibited.
Online articles can write about apocalypse, zombies, wasteland, cyberpunk, etc., but the movie standards are different.
Yao Yuan showed off the role of the neighborhood committee aunt when she first came up, and the meaning is self-evident.
The short film is a rough cut, and the plot is not very coherent. After showing the school, Wangfujing, lion dance, earthworms, an entertainment place where you can only play "Contra", etc., there is the long shot.
That long shot with special effects that went down in the annals of Chinese film history and took several months to complete - it was done in advance by Yao Yuan's name just to show off everywhere.
The surface is minus 84 degrees, and the ore trucks are busy on the ice sheet. The camera pulls up to see the dug-out peaks. The vehicles are working on the mountain roads. They are domineering and powerful, and are full of heavy metal violent aesthetics. Super large excavations
Machines, super cranes with towering arms, multi-terrain emergency rescue robots with eight spider-like legs...
Further up, there is a planetary engine soaring into the sky!
Continuing upward, this engine, together with more than 10,000 other engines, converged into streams of blue flames, pushing the earth out of the solar system and towards the vast universe.
In front of the Earth is the Navigator International Space Station.
"..."
How many people were extremely excited when they saw this long shot in the cinema. Anyway, Yao Yuan has never forgotten it.
At this moment, he secretly glanced at the boss. The boss's back had suddenly straightened up. He was concentrating without blinking, and his eyes showed a trace of excitement, surprise and excitement that was no different from that of an ordinary audience.
"..."
Yao Yuan looked at the ones from the Radio, Television and Film Bureau again, bam!
The reaction of these two people was like the Golden Rooster Award: I don’t want to give you the award, but I have to give it to you, so just applaud and give you a consolation prize.
"Okay! Okay!"
When the short film was shown, the boss nodded repeatedly and said with emotion: "Two years ago you told me about "The Wandering Earth". At that time, it was only presented in words. Now you have turned it into a video, and it has transcended
My prediction.
Thinking about it carefully, it is true that we have never seen such a scene before.
You are doing an amazing thing!"
Oops!
As soon as these words came out, the people accompanying Guo Fan, Gong Geer and others became enthusiastic and their faces became brighter. Yao Yuan also said this, but compared to the big guys, the guy named Yao is a scumbag.
"There are still a few places I would like to ask for your guidance. Let's go look elsewhere?"
"Okay, this place is very nice, with a good environment and advanced equipment."
The boss was in a high mood, and everyone left. Yao Yuan signaled Guo Fan with his eyes, and Guo Fan made an OK gesture.
Ever since, when a group of people came to the square inadvertently, the 50-meter ore carrying truck that had been rehearsed appeared again...
In-law Huizi!
Well, come back!
The boss almost spoke his native dialect.
He holds a high position and is well-informed, but this kind of thing is a miracle-level flattery! Especially since he had just watched the short film, and boom, boom, boom, the truck in the movie appeared!
"laugh!"
As soon as the car door opened, the ladder was lowered, and the XCMG representative showed up.
The boss is even happier.
I went up and looked around in person and found out that it was an empty shell. I was expected but also a little disappointed. He said: "At present, the largest truck in the world has only a few hundred tons, and there are also trucks with several thousand tons, but you can't call a truck.
It is a mobile transportation platform.
If you want to build the car in the movie, you need to improve all aspects of technology."
"Yes, you said so!"
"So this is the realm of science fiction."
"That day will definitely happen!"
After lingering in the square for a while, near noon, we arrived at the last event of today’s event, a symposium on the creation of “My Motherland and Me”.
…………
In the conference room.
Ning Hao, Huang Jianxin and others were all there, and they briefly talked about their ideas, all of which were to introduce ideas. The main thing was Yao Yuan's talk. After Yao Yuan's talk, the boss would talk again.
"Everyone is familiar with movies with the main theme.
In the past, we took pictures of revolutionary martyrs, the Anti-Japanese War, outstanding cadres, model workers, emergency rescue and disaster relief, etc..."
Yao Yuan couldn't criticize the main melody in front of the big boss, that would be pure suicide, but he didn't praise it either, he just said it, and immediately said: "I think the current moment can be used as a turning point, and it is a good time to create the main melody of the new era.
We can make something new, a movie that is really popular and popular, and there are already successful examples. We in the industry call it military action movies.
For example, "Operation Mekong" reflects the bravery and fearlessness of our anti-drug police. It has received strong support from the Ministry of Public Security and has a box office of over 1 billion.
"Wolf Warrior 2", with the support of the Army, needless to say box office.
In the Spring Festival next year, there will be another movie "Operation Red Sea" produced by us in 99. With the strong support of the Navy, it will definitely be another hit..."
"Looking at it this way, the air force drama is all that's missing for the sea, land and air police?"
The boss suddenly said.
"The Air Force drama is here, right?"
"Yes?"
"The Story of the Cooking Class"!
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed, and the air was filled with joy.
Needless to say, there have been several Air Force movies, each one better than the last.
"The same goes for "My Motherland and Me". It selected seven perspectives including the founding ceremony, the development of the atomic bomb, the women's volleyball championship, the return of Hong Kong, the Olympics, poverty alleviation and aerospace, and female pilots to show the changes from the founding of New China to the present.
Different from the previous main theme, we can finally show the style of contemporary China with confidence and confidence!
Because our astronauts have gone to heaven, we have held the Olympic Games, we have advocated the Belt and Road Initiative, our national power has become stronger and stronger, and our status in China has become more and more important... These are the simplest confidence for film workers!
Do you want Koreans to make "The Wandering Earth"?
That will make you laugh out loud!
So we made this dividing line to distinguish the traditional main theme from the new main theme. "Wolf Warrior 2", "My Motherland and Me" and even "The Wandering Earth" represent the beginning of the main theme of the new era."
"..."
The boss stared hard at Yao Yuan. Even if he came into contact with him several times, his impression would be refreshed every time.
So considerate!
Yes, the evaluation he gave was considerate. The other party knew what the senior management wanted and was able to make it. The most rare thing is that what he made was very effective.
If Yao Yuan were his subordinate, he would like him very much.
