Meng Xiaobai looked at him with a smile. In fact, this was not only Wu Binghui's wish, but also a small expectation of his. After all, Meng Xiaobai also wanted to see that one day, a magnificent fantasy world would appear on the movie screen, allowing the world to recognize Chinese culture!
"Mr. Meng, this project has been approved!" Wu Binghui confirmed again, "Finally we can let go!"
Meng Xiaobai's trip was originally intended to prepare for the camera function of their smartphones in the future. Who knew there would be an interlude in the middle, but to him, this interlude was quite interesting.
With Meng Xiaobai's support, the "Shading the Sky" series of movies was immediately launched, and some news spread on the Internet.
Entertainment News: "The film project of "Shading the Sky" has been launched, with Deep Space Film and Television leading the investment. Will it exceed 10 billion yuan?"
This is a media report, which states that Deep Space Films intends to create an epic fantasy movie world!
As soon as the news came out, netizens immediately became excited. There is no other reason. This IP is very famous, and the number of tens of billions is also very eye-catching.
Under the news, many netizens expressed their expectations.
A tree at the end of the village: "My son Wang Teng has the qualities of a great emperor!"
Become a Buddha in one thought: "Is this fake news again? I have been reading this kind of news for several years, but I have never seen the finished product!"
Brother Xiaosha: "Wow, awesome! Has someone finally made it? It's still a series of movies! If it is released, I will definitely buy a ticket to watch it!"
The Tiger of Crime Unit: "Please don't film it, okay? Every time I film it, it looks like a vindictive horse, and I vomit! It completely ruins the original work!"
Beihai Xianyu: "Tiger of Crime Unit A, can you take a closer look? The one who did the special effects this time was Deep Space Digital. If you know "Devil Boy Nezha", they did that special effect! They do special effects, and they must be better than Dou Qi.
It’s much better to turn into a horse!”
Little G: "I just want to know who the leading actors are. Isn't it just one of those young actors? If so, it's definitely a bad movie!"
…
Not to mention the audience, the film and television circles were also shocked by the news.
Zhou Hua, the person in charge of Huayi Brothers Film and Television Co., Ltd. looked at the report and asked in surprise: "Is this news true?"
"It's absolutely true!" a subordinate reported, "The movie project has already been approved. They really plan to invest so much."
"You are so courageous!" Zhou Hua shook his head, "Without a famous director or star, you dare to invest in this! I can only say that their boss has a big heart!"
These old film manufacturers are very conservative in their investments. Famous directors and famous actors, or big IPs and small fresh meats are the projects they like to invest in.
"Perhaps they are very confident in themselves!" the subordinate analyzed, "It is undeniable that in just one year, Deep Space Digital has become one of the top special effects studios in the world, but if you want to exclude epic blockbusters, the risk is still
Too big!"
…
Jingcheng Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. CEO Zhang Qi admired the other party's courage when he saw the report. The largest investment his company has made in recent years is a mythological movie "Fengshen", which is expected to cost 3 billion.
This is already the largest amount of investment in a domestic film, but I didn’t expect another one to be bigger.
"This tens of billions is just a gimmick." Zhang Qi commented, "If the box office of the first step is not satisfactory, it is estimated that the subsequent filming plans will be axed. From this point of view, we should invest more."
"They are quite ambitious! This series of movies aims to create a fantasy movie universe!" said the vice president next to him, "just like the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
"Marvel's success proves the success of the movie universe. Now everyone wants a similar movie universe, and our "Fengshen" is the same, creating a "Fengshen" movie universe." Zhang Qi said, "As for who can succeed, it depends on
It depends on everyone’s ability!”
Compared with the plans of Deep Space Film and Television, Zhang Qi is more confident in his own company because they have more experience in the film and television field. Although this company has money, it does not have any glorious resume. The successful investment in "The Devil Boy"
"Zha" only contributed special effects, and there is no experience in making epic blockbusters.
…
In the film and television industry, some companies and related practitioners have begun to proactively contact Deep Space Digital and Deep Space Film and Television, hoping to get a share of the project.
For these, Wu Binghui did not refuse. After all, such a large project cannot be completed by their own company.
Wu Binghui was well prepared. After the film project was approved, Meng Xiaobai approved the funds, and they immediately started preparations for film and television production.
The director, script, etc. were all ready, so they went straight into the process of auditioning actors and preparing for filming.
Mentioning this, Meng Xiaobai also specifically told Wu Binghui that he didn't care how other people filmed, and that people with no acting skills should not be seen in the movies he invested in. The acting skills of the main cast and crew must pass the test, otherwise they would all be replaced.
Wu Binghui also deeply agrees with this point. He is not originally from the film and television industry, and has no feelings for "stars" and "traffic". Furthermore, the funds used for the production of this film will be much higher than the actors' remuneration, and new actors will be used.
On the contrary, it saves costs.
The filming of an epic blockbuster often encounters various problems. Less than half a month after the film project was approved, Deep Space Digital encountered a trouble.
If you want to create a fantasy world, film special effects production is a top priority. In terms of computer technology, Deep Space Digital naturally does not have to worry about it, but in terms of film molds, it has encountered difficulties.
For this matter, Mo Ziyi, the director of "Shading the Sky" came to Deep Space Digital Studio specially.
Mo Ziyi is 34 years old this year. He is a young director in the film and television industry. He has directed some movies with good reputation before. He is particularly interested in mythology and fairy tales, but there are not many choices in China.
This time I heard about the film project "Cover the Sky", and Mo Ziyi recommended himself to Wu Binghui. The two hit it off immediately, and it was only then that Wu Binghui applied for the project like Meng Xiaobai.
He looks ordinary. He likes to wear leather jackets, ride motorcycles, and has slanted bangs. He looks like a fashionista in the 1980s.
"What's wrong with the props?" Meng Xiaobai asked while still in Deep Space Digital.
"Mr. Meng, that's it." Mo Ziyi naturally respects his big boss and investors very much.
He explained: "When we shoot special effects movies, computer technology is important, but corresponding movie props are absolutely indispensable. The sense of reality that models bring to people is unmatched by special effects, and if there are corresponding models, it will reduce the difficulty of making many special effects.
.”
"For example, the Kowloon Coffin in the movie, if we can make an exquisite model for filming, it will look and feel completely different! There are also those prehistoric monsters and magical weapons inside, if the actors can get them
Models, they also have more sense when acting."
"I will give you an example, just like "The Lord of the Rings" that created the world of 'Middle-Earth'. In order to make this movie more realistic, Weta Digital produced more than 50,000 model props, equipment, monsters, and even entire
A model of a city!”
"It is precisely because of these, coupled with actors, directors and special effects, that this epic legend in the history of movies is created."
"Can't we make it?" Meng Xiaobai was a little confused. It's just a movie mold. It should be less difficult than special effects, right?
Mo Ziyi showed a helpless expression, "It's not that it can't be produced, but there is no such company in China. To be honest, domestic movie prop companies are too careless in making props and cannot meet our requirements!
