Chapter 533 Preparations, actors!

After the new issue of Beijing News was released, it attracted widespread attention from the whole society.

After all, it is a media that cooperates with the two major party newspapers. It is official enough to publish news about the film and television industry on the front page.

At the very least, the government is very optimistic about and supportive of the film and television industry.

For a time, various media outlets published articles analyzing the current domestic film market and singing praises.

Some media even shouted the slogan of overtaking the United States in five years and becoming the world's largest film market.

For ordinary viewers, they are more concerned about what new movies are released by major companies. This is the reality.

The eight films of the top ten directors announced by Huayi have become the subject of heated discussions, especially the three blockbusters "1942" by Feng Xiaogang, "Zodiac" by Cheng Long, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" by Zhou Xingchi.

Bernard, Guangxian doesn't have many movies this year, and Xiaoma only has "The Golden Heist".

There were "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "囧" in the Han and Tang Dynasties. As for Tang An's own movie, it has not been disclosed to the public.

The whole-industry development mentioned by Tang An has also attracted the attention of many game enthusiasts.

"Are we going to imitate Hollywood in making IP? Come up with a few superhero series!"

"It would be fun if we changed the game, but what if "Crossfire" is adapted into a movie? There is no plot~"

"The adaptation of the game will definitely involve my journey. I can definitely make a series. The first part will be filmed according to the background. It will be a super war blockbuster with the ten kingdoms standing at the same time!"

"Zhazha's journey is a rubbish game. The plot is too bloody. What's there to film? If you want to film, then film a legend. Make an epic fantasy blockbuster. The war between humans and orcs. Kill "The Lord of the Rings" instantly!"

"I, the red policeman, refuse to accept it!"

"I think it's okay to go karting. Hollywood has "The Fast and the Furious"."

"The dirt upstairs is dirty. You can tell me about Kart Racing. Why not just film Bubble Hall and Audition?"

"Are you upstairs saying that Bubble Hall and Audition look down on Mahuateng? Why can't it be QQ Hall, QQ Speed, and QQ Dance?"

"Let's just make poisonous milk powder. My poisonous milk powder has tens of millions of players, and the box office exceeds 1 billion every minute. Anyone who refuses to accept it will stand up!"

As for other companies, they also want to find other ways to make profits other than box office. Some companies are starting to adapt movies and TV series.

There are also one or two games that have been adapted into games, which are not very popular, so they only earn a little royalties.

Most of them take a wait-and-see attitude and wait and see what Tang An does. If it is profitable, others will immediately follow suit.

However, within a few days, another earthquake occurred in the entertainment industry.

LeTV held a press conference to announce that Zhang Yimou has joined LeTV Pictures.

Although most people had guessed that Zhang Yimou would leave, after all, he had stayed in the new scene for more than ten years, which made many people unable to react.

One year after its establishment, LeTV, which had no sense of existence, immediately became the focus of the film and television industry.

Regardless of any company, if it has a top director, it is impossible for anyone to ignore it.

Jia Leting even shouted the slogan of the seventh giant in domestic film and television, placing LeTV in a parallel position with the six giants.

When Tang An got the news at the company, there was no surprise, it was still the same as before.

No matter where Zhang Yimou goes, it has nothing to do with him.

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in."

"Chairman, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Jun, the newly appointed director of the production department, opened the door and came in.

"Old Zhao, sit down, how is the handover of the production department going?" Tang An asked him to sit down.

Zhao Jun replied, "The handover has been smooth. Mr. Liu is preparing for a new film company."

Tang An nodded, "Well, you should immediately send a few location crews, and preparations for "Interstellar" will begin."

Zhao Jun immediately said, "No problem, Chairman, what kind of location do you need?"

"Send someone to go to the northern desert and the Genhe area to find a large piece of suitable open space."

"Go to China Film Group Corporation and ask them to contact the Icelandic government. I need to shoot on Vatnajökull, and I hope they can cooperate."

"Go to Tiangong Yicai to find Xiao Yang and ask them to improve this drawing. You can play freely on this basis, but the most important thing is to make the spacecraft look like it is not a product of our current era. The approximate data is on it

Already."

"Interstellar" is ready to start, especially the troublesome parts.

Vatnajökull in Iceland is the third largest glacier in the world. The first is of course the Antarctic glacier, and the second is the Greenland glacier.

However, Greenland's glaciers have been melting rapidly in the past few years.

In Antarctica, the scenery is different. Vatnajökull Glacier can be photographed in real life, basically without the need for CG.

The cornfield in the protagonist's home was originally filmed in Canada. Tang An first asked people to go to Mohe and Genhe to see it.

The coldest temperatures in these two places throughout the year reach minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, which is not much warmer than the original shooting location.

Tang An explained everything to Zhao Jun one by one, and after the location team and Tiangong Yicai gave the preliminary plan, he went to look at it one by one.

"Okay, Chairman, I'll make arrangements right away."

Zhao Jun nodded in agreement, thought for a while and then asked, "Genhe, how big is a large open space in Mohe exactly, and what are the special requirements for the landform?"

"The bigger, the better. There is no edge when you look at it, and you can't see any buildings or trees."

Although it is not as inaccessible as Canada, it is still not difficult to find a piece of deserted land in the two coldest places in the country.

Even if there is a village and trees in a suitable place, the worst case scenario is to pay them to move them all and clear them all out.

That place might not be demolished in a hundred years. Besides, Tang An didn't want their land. He just demolished the village. After the filming, the land will still be theirs.

Shooting in China is always cheaper than shooting in Canada. With so many people on the crew, the round-trip air tickets, food, and accommodation are a huge sum.

The preparations for "Interstellar" have officially begun. The location team rushed to Genhe and Mohe, and the pictures were sent back to the capital one by one for Tang An to screen.

Tiangong Yicai spent half a month making a 3D model of the spaceship. After looking at every detail and parameter on the computer, Tang An made the final decision.

However, we did not let a special effects company do this spaceship, we found a more professional company.

The special effects company has other things to do. Tang An hired three astrophysics professors from Nanjing University, Huaguo University of Science and Technology, and Beijing University, the top three universities in astrophysics in the country.

There are also other universities and institutions that have invited two professors of astronomy, two professors of quantum physics, and two professors of physics to guide the preliminary special effects preparations for the extraordinary splendor of Tiangong.

We need to prepare for the special effects now. The special effects in outer space are not just about making a few balls and randomly lighting up stars, frost effects, and fire effects.

The main job of Tiangong Yicai is to simulate and render the cosmic environment, which must conform to current science. For example, the distance between planets and stars, relative size issues, environmental issues of other planets, particle special effects, the dynamics of nebulae and galaxies, including wormholes

and description of black holes, etc.

A ten-minute shot would take a supercomputer half a year to calculate.

Fortunately, domestic supercomputers are among the top in the world. With the help of Han Sanping, Tang An asked the leaders of Optoelectronics to come forward and rented the Tianhe-1 supercomputer, which ranked fifth in the world.

Two years ago, Tianhe-1 ranked first in the world!

There was also the thousand-meter-high giant wave, and the special effects department also had to calculate detailed data.

It is also different from ordinary small waves, and the previous data cannot be used.

The splash of water droplets, water spray, curling degree of the wave top, bubbles, waves, water spray, etc. must be re-simulated to obtain accurate data.

And this scene must have been shot with an imax camera, any shortcomings will be highlighted infinitely, and it must be extremely meticulous.

Tiangong Yicai once again invested a lot of money for this special effect.

In the past two years, Tiangong Yicai has been developing faster and faster thanks to the blockbusters produced by Han and Tang Dynasties, and more and more investments have been made.

The special effects cost can easily reach hundreds of millions, and the early stage of "Tiangong Yicai" also requires huge investment. Tang An invested when he had no money. Now he has 56% of the shares and has achieved control.

Others, including several founders, have had their shares diluted quite a bit.

But they had no choice, they had no money to invest. If they didn't accept Tang An's investment, they wouldn't be able to take over Han and Tang's business. If they didn't accept it, they would have to accept it.

The money was not wasted, Tiangong Yicai has become the leading special effects company in China.

In addition, in order to save costs in future Hollywood blockbusters, a considerable number of them will turn to domestic special effects companies, and Tiangong Yicai is definitely the first choice.

At that time, it will be time to reap the rewards. Investments from external funds and investment banks will not be small, and there will be no problem in operating and listing the company.

All aspects were proceeding in an orderly manner. When April came, Tang An also completed his script.

Next, it’s a matter of actors.
