In fact, neither Ji Yingzi nor Sui Xi can see the future of this movie very clearly.
The reason is simple. This is a movie that uses dialogue to advance the plot, and the whole process revolves around a caveman who has lived for 14,000 years.
And the story scene is extremely simple. Most of the time is spent in a dilapidated hut, and a small part of the time is outside the hut...
As for the climax, fighting, and special effects, there are no such things.
You must know that in this era, the concept of blockbusters has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Sometimes, even realistic and emotional themes cannot avoid adding some special effects, let alone magic and science fiction.
Under this circumstance, "The Man from the Blue Star" is a science fiction movie without any special effects. Whether it can be accepted by movie fans is highly questionable.
The main reason why people didn't comment directly on this movie is because the script of this movie was written by Jiang Bei.
Those who know clearly know that Jiangbei is Muxia.
Those who don't know also know that Jiangbei wrote "Wandering in the Blue".
All these prove that Jiang Bei is a very talented person, which makes everyone maintain a more cautious attitude towards the script.
When Jiangbei sent Liangliang to communicate with everyone that he wanted to make major changes or rewrite the script, they were quite in agreement, so Liangliang's persuasion was all successful.
But now it seems that the plan to change or rewrite the script has been cancelled, and only Sui Xi knows the reason.
Seven days later, it was announced that the filming of "The Man from the Blue Star" was officially completed, which took a total of one month, including the preliminary preparation time.
As a dramatic science fiction film, the filming speed of this film is very fast.
But in fact, not only the shooting speed is fast, but the post-production speed is also unimaginably fast.
In just three days, the film's post-production, including editing, was completed.
"It's really hard to imagine that this is a science fiction film. I think it should be a mystery film." Wang Zhong, the strongest editor from Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, couldn't help but sigh after finishing editing the film.
After more than 20 years of filmmaking, this is the first time he has edited a science fiction film without any special effects. You must know that even 20 years ago when special effects were underdeveloped, he had never encountered such a situation.
To put it simply, the editors are not optimistic about this movie and think that it may not have a place in the current market dominated by blockbusters.
The editor's words were conveyed by Li Shushu to Li Youqing, who inevitably felt a little uneasy, and then returned home and conveyed them to Jiang Bei who was cooking.
After listening to this, Jiang Bei was silent for a while, then tentatively asked, "How about giving up on this movie?"
In fact, it is precisely because of the particularity of this film that director Jiang Bei's presence was extremely low during the entire filming process, and he lost the room to interfere. He could only take risks and find ways to complete the filming by changing the script.
Bad movie ideas.
But the result was not so beautiful. The manipulation of his pig teammates killed his last struggle, so he was forced to return to his old profession and make this movie honestly.
Unexpectedly, even when he himself gave up his struggle, someone would jump out and not be optimistic about the market for this movie!
Isn't this an assist from God?
"How can we do that? The editing and soundtrack have been completed. Even if it is a blockbuster movie, we still have to let it be released. And I am very optimistic about your work." Li Youqing shook his head and said seriously.
"I am a gold medal editor. I can edit as many as eight hundred videos, but my vision is better than ours." Jiang Bei said as he stir-fried the vegetables.
Hearing this, Xiao Nizi tilted her head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Then I will fire him tomorrow, so that he will no longer be a gold medal editor."
Is there such an operation?
He is indeed a arrogant young man.
"As a subordinate of the company, how can you not be optimistic about the movies made by your own boss? This is obviously because ZZ's stance is incorrect!" Li Youqing said plausibly: "Look at me as your wife, I believe in your work!"
I hope you don't believe it.
"You believe it blindly." Jiang Bei replied helplessly.
"If you believe blindly, just believe blindly. Who made you my husband?" Li Youqing chuckled and skipped out of the kitchen with his hands behind his back.
This is Li Youqing.
She can't do anything arrogant and unreasonable, but her words of advice that go against the ears also won't work here.
Summed up in a few words, that is: arrogant.
During dinner, Li Youqing chatted while eating rice: "Beibei, I plan to release this movie on March 1st. What do you think?"
When Jiang Bei heard this, he asked, "Is there enough time?"
It's mid-February now, less than half a month before March 1st. Although the editing of the film is completed, it still needs to be submitted for review and approval and a series of publicity matters, so it is still very tight from a time perspective.
"I asked Manager Li, and he said there is no problem, but the approval may take a few days. As for publicity, due to funding issues, we only plan to print some posters and post them on Weibo as publicity." Li Youqing took a sip.
I took a sip of AD calcium milk and said vaguely.
Although Li Youqing took this movie very seriously, she really didn't expect this movie to become a hit. In her mind, this movie was just a "little monster" used to improve Jiangbei's directorial skills.
It is a fertilizer used for cultivation.
As for the box office of the movie, I don’t care that much.
"I heard that the review time in China is usually longer~ If you don't mind." Anseong's gambling king, who always ran home while studying, chimed in.
"It shouldn't happen, right?" Li Youqing said with a frown.
Speaking of which, this was her first time participating in this kind of production, and she was not very familiar with things like review and review. Moreover, she had never heard the director or production director mention any difficulties in review before acting.
"Who knows, maybe they won't even let the video pass." Liangliang shrugged and continued to eat.
"This is a hidden danger. I'm going to call Manager Li and ask." After saying that, Li Youqing picked up the phone and got up and walked towards the study, not even bothering to eat.
Jiang Bei sat motionless in his seat, looking at his wife's leaving back, and then looking at Liang Liang who was lowering his head to eat, his eyes thoughtful.
"Brother, what are you looking at me for?" Liangliang's alertness was extremely sensitive. She immediately noticed that her brother was looking at her, so she raised her head and asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Jiang Bei touched his chin and thought: "I suddenly thought of a good way, maybe it can prevent this movie from being released."
"What can I do?" Liangliang asked curiously.
"Let this movie fail to pass the review!" Jiang Bei said in a low voice.
As long as the movie does not pass censorship, it cannot be released or broadcast on online broadcast platforms. And if it is made into a DVD and sold in China, it can only be considered a pirated disc.
In addition, in this day and age, DVDs are actually no longer popular, and it is impossible to replicate the grand occasion of "The Man from Earth" in the previous life.
Therefore, once a film fails to pass review, no matter how good the quality of the film is, it will not matter.
"That's a good idea, but we don't have anyone in the bureau?" Liangliang asked, holding her chin up with chopsticks.
"Who said that? We know a retired leader! We can ask him for help."
...
Fish pond in July.
Chen Muhua is sitting here fishing alone.
Early spring is not a good season for fishing, but for people like him, fishing is just a matter of finding a leisurely and quiet place to think about things. Whether he can catch fish is secondary.
Chen Muhua has not been in a good mood recently because it is the new year and his daughter still has not been able to get married.
He had quarreled with his divorced wife several times over this matter, scolding his ex-wife who only knew about studying the vast universe all day long, but could not even arrange the major events of his daughter's life.
It's a pity that what's the use of the old couple quarreling? My daughter, who is in her thirties, still goes her own way. In the past few months, she has given up all her resources in the entertainment industry to work as a supporting role in a small film crew, saying she wants to reinvent herself.
Listen to this, aren't you looking for something to do when you are free?
She is already the Queen of the Movies, has won various honors in the domestic entertainment industry, and is recognized by the audience as an actress with acting skills. She still wants to reinvent herself?
Chen Muhua said he couldn't understand it, just as he couldn't understand his daughter still being single in her thirties.
But he can't help it!
The daughter has no control over her father. No matter how much he tries to persuade her with sincere words, the daughter remains unmoved and goes her own way.
That's why Chen Muhua was in such a bad mood during these days. He sighed and sighed every day, and occasionally lamented about related cases: "I heard from Brother Li next door that his daughter and son-in-law are preparing for pregnancy, and they are expected to see each other next year.
Big fat boy."
The so-called brother Li next door naturally refers to Li Qiangguo. When they first met, they were still worrying about their daughters in the park. But now in the past New Year, his daughter has quit the entertainment industry and started preparing for pregnancy, but her own daughter has started from scratch.
I started to play a minor role.
The difference is huge.
Of course, Chen Muhua believed that the reason for all this was because the son-in-law of the Li family was too unreliable. He only wanted to achieve his own goals but did not forget to assist his friend who had been helping him.
Thinking of this, Chen Muhua took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Xiao Jiang, go check this Jiangbei's past and what contact he has had with Xixi over the years."
Although the leader retired, it was still very simple to find someone to do something. In just one day, Chen Muhua received a piece of information about Jiangbei after dinner.
Holding this information, Chen Muhua put on his reading glasses and sat on the sofa to read slowly.
Industries under his name: Founder of Weilan Qingjiang Hotpot Company, founder of Weilan Xidian Animation, and shareholder of Weilan Digital Special Effects Company.
Personal experience: I was born into a wealthy family, my parents were in business, and I had excellent academic performance since I was a child. When I was fifteen, my parents died in a car accident, and I lived alone. At the age of eighteen, I was admitted to Weilan Normal University, and I graduated at the age of twenty-two.
At the age of twenty-three, I met a distant cousin and have been living with her ever since.
At the age of 24, he followed his cousin's advice and started his first business, opening a Mood Farmhouse in the suburbs. Later, by chance, he rescued Li Qiangguo, a visiting professor at Merrill Lynch University, and formed a deep friendship with him. In the same year, he married his daughter Li Youqing.
At the age of 25, he spent all his family wealth to invest in the movie "Don't Stop the Camera" starring his wife, and thus met the eldest lady and wrote songs for her.
In the same year, Jiangbei invested 20 million and 100 million respectively in the digital special effects company and "Wandering Blue" directed by Ji Yingzi, a tutor at the Blue Film and Television Academy. At the beginning of the next year, Missy also joined the "Wandering Blue" project, investing 100 million yuan.
In 2020, Erjing Film and Television was established and prepared to start filming "Little Times", in which the eldest lady and Jiangbei's wife Li Youqing will co-star.
In 2021, Jiangbei's wife Li Youqing joined Cultural and Creative Entertainment. During this period, Jiangbei presented the eldest lady with ten songs, which were later made into the album "Let's Leave" for release.
At the beginning of 2022, Jiang Bei directed the movie "This Man Comes from the Blue Star" for the first time, and the eldest lady joined the cast.
Not much content.
But it can be seen that the relationship between Jiang Bei and his daughter is very close after they met, otherwise it would be impossible for her to participate in most of Jiang Bei's movies.
In fact, what surprised Chen Muhua even more was Jiangbei itself.
Because it is rare in the world to have such a rich resume in just seven years after graduation, and to do so with the help of one person.
"And if I guess correctly, Erjing Group should also have something to do with you, right?" Looking at this information, Chen Muhua squinted his eyes and thought.
If the Erjing Group is added to the mix, then the young people in this information will become particularly terrifying.
At less than thirty years old, he already has an industrial chain with a market value of not less than 100 billion, and judging from the evaluation of its industries, they are all sunrise industries with immeasurable prospects.
It's almost like it's turned on.
No wonder he could figure out how to set up a film and television company and then confine his wife.
What he was doing was not human affairs. After using him as a lonely old man, he just threw him aside and ignored him.
So in the end Chen Muhua gave an evaluation, that is: he has enough ability, but not enough character.
"Thankfully my daughter has nothing to do with you, otherwise the old man wouldn't let you go even if you were capable."
Chen Muhua snorted slightly dissatisfied, put down the information in his hand, took off his eyes and rubbed them, then got up and prepared to go back to the house to sleep.
As for the matter of being taken advantage of, he actually didn't intend to care about it. After all, he was not a petty person.
"Dudu~~"
At this time, the cell phone in his pocket rang. Chen Muhua took it out and read on it: Er Jing.
Erjing?
Erjing Film and Television?
Chen Muhua thought for a while and chose to answer: "Hello? Who is this?"
"Uncle Chen, I'm Xiao Liang! Do you still remember me? It's the Xiao Liang from Erjing Film and Television, the one we squatted in the same trench before."
