This made people who mocked Qi Ji for wanting to reach the top of the film industry even more excited.
The number of comments on Miracle Entertainment’s official Weibo account exceeded 10,000 in a short period of time.
There were fans inside who were criticizing, but most of them were passers-by.
"?????"
"Science fiction???? Am I right??"
"Is Qi Ji serious or not? As we all know, there is no science fiction in Chinese-language movies!"
"Scary!"
"Are you really not kidding??"
"The Wandering Earth??? There's something about this name..."
"Are these four characters the name of the new movie? Why do I feel like it's just a joke?"
Originally, during this period of time, the two keywords Qi Ji and Chinese-language movies were closely tied together.
Therefore, after everyone saw "The Wandering Earth", they were laughing a little.
Weibo celebrity "Movie Top" posted: "Qi Ji dared to challenge the biggest shortcomings of Chinese-language films. Regardless of whether he succeeds in the end or not, I personally admire his courage very much."
Film and Television Weekly published an article: "Qi Ji has recently announced that his next film project will be a science fiction film! As we all know, there is no science fiction category for Chinese-language films!"
Big V Dream Weaver commented: "I don't know where Qi Ji got the courage to challenge science fiction... But I guess it's because Qi wants to take a shortcut! Qi Ji has also made several movies.
Although she is a famous person, she has never won a film-related award so far. Even Zhu Lingzhi, who was shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress, missed this award... So Qi Ji is actually eager to win
A grand prize! Therefore, he focused on science fiction! After all, this is a super weak area in China. As long as the things Qi Ji shoots can have a little bit of advantages, it is impossible to say that he will be able to win several awards.
It’s an award!”
Qi Ji is probably aware of many of these comments on the Internet.
Meng Feichen asked: "Boss, what do you think of these voices? We are all our own people, so I'll put it bluntly. If it were me, I actually think you want to do something special!
"
Qi Ji looked at Meng Feichen with a half-smile but not a smile: "You think so too?"
Meng Feichen nodded and said: "If this is not the case, then I can only attribute it to... you really have too much money to use..."
Qi Ji laughed loudly, then waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business. Is Lao Li here?"
Meng Feichen nodded: "We're already downstairs. We'll be in the office soon."
Lao Li is the head of the prop team who has collaborated with Qi Ji on several movies.
Speaking of which, Qi Ji had been calling him Lao Li for so long, but now he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten Lao Li's full name.
Lao Li pushed open the door and entered.
Qi Ji quickly opened the computer, which contained a schematic diagram of the planetary engine in "The Wandering Earth" that he had drawn using CAD.
The background of the story of Flow Earth is that humans discovered that the sun was about to explode.
Therefore, we devoted all the power of the entire earth to develop thousands of engines and installed them in various places on the earth.
Thereby pushing the earth away from the solar system and rushing to a new home a few light years away.
[Wandering with the Earth], this is a very romantic story that can only be conceived by the unique genes of Chinese culture.
When Lao Li saw the engine diagram, his eyes widened: "My brother, you mean, I have to make this thing completely??"
Qi Ji smiled and said: "It's necessary!"
Meng Feichen looked at the schematic diagram and felt no special vibration. The only feeling was that this prop seemed to be quite complicated: "Old Li, this is our first science fiction movie, we must do it right!"
"
Qi Ji also patted Lao Li on the shoulder and said seriously: "Just go ahead and do it. You don't have to think about money at all!"
In the previous life, "Traffic Earth" achieved terrible box office results during the Spring Festival of that year.
It does have a lot of hard science fiction at its heart.
But if we really take it seriously...it is actually impossible to burn the earth's rocks to push the earth forward.
With such a large thrust, the entire earth's plates would collapse.
And its special effects are actually still far behind those of Hollywood's top science fiction films.
For a blockbuster of this level, every frame of special effects is extremely expensive.
The special effects in the previous life looked trashy and the picture was darker.
Just because there is no money!
For example, in the climax of the film, when Liu Peiqiang, played by Wu Jing, drives the space station to blow up the entire planet Jupiter, there is actually no close-up picture!
Or because of lack of money, the special effects in this place were not done!
But this life is different!
The money in Qi Ji's hands is enough!
Therefore, the special effects must be fully utilized!
As for science fiction movies, isn’t it just special effects?
From the bottom of his heart, Qi Ji holds the idea that even if the first science fiction movie loses money, the special effects must be perfected to create a reputation as Miracle Entertainment!
As for this movie, if a lot of embarrassing and sensational scenes are deleted, its quality can actually be improved to another level!
So overall, even though the outside world is very unfavorable, Qi Ji's confidence in "Traffic Earth" is still very sufficient.
The entire preliminary preparation work for "The Wandering Earth" will take at least three months to half a year.
Because there are too many props, real space stations, etc. that need to be made.
If you want to create quality with these things, they must be genuine.
For example, regarding space suits, Qi Ji directly contacted the top leaders and told them that the movie he was planning to shoot would actually feature Chinese astronauts.
So Qi Ji directly got a space suit retired by the China National Aeronautics and Space Administration!
This kind of treatment is probably the first in the entire entertainment industry!
The preparations for "The Wandering Earth" have officially started here.
At the same time, Qi Ji officially started the filming of "Five Thousand Years of China: Spring and Autumn and Warring States"!
This time, the most essential and splendid era of the entire Chinese culture will be unveiled!
so.
Qi Ji wants to film an independent episode for all the important characters!
Hundreds of schools of thought...the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period...countless heroes and heroines are already lying in the script written by Qi Ji.
Early February.
Miracle Entertainment directly released two messages.
It is about the casting of "The Flowing Earth" and "Spring and Autumn and Warring States".
Suddenly, the entire entertainment industry was moved by the news.
