Facing the impact of foreign science fiction blockbusters, Chen Feng and An Ruohua are generally very rational and admit the gap, but at the same time they are not discouraged because they believe that Chinese-language films will be able to produce better works in the future.
Wu Hengjiang of Beidou Entertainment could only secretly sulk. Although the film "Deep Space Trek" was not a box office failure, it was completely defeated by imported foreign films such as "Escape from the Mother Planet" in terms of reputation and reputation.
He always felt that his face was dull, and the pressure was increasing. He even couldn't eat or sleep for several days in a row.
Of course, the most angry person is actually the screenwriter of "Deep Space Trek" and the master of Chinese science fiction novels, Tian Ming.
When Tian Ming was writing the original manuscript of "Deep Space Trek", he actually wrote a lot of magnificent scenes of the galaxy and the universe, and even involved mysterious alien creatures, black holes, asteroids and meteor showers and other wonders, but later because of
Due to the limitations of the film's technical means, many contents were deleted. Tian Ming was unable to do anything but shift his focus to cosmic psychology.
This is also a big regret for Tian Ming.
In fact, if Tian Ming's real writing ability is used, it would be simple to write a story better than "Escape from the Mother Planet". Unfortunately, film screenwriters are not the same as pure novel writers. Many of his ideas are now being rejected because of film technology.
Restricted.
Therefore, when seeing "Escape" become a hit and "Deep Space Trek" being reviled by fans and audiences, Tian Ming felt even more angry than Wu Hengjiang.
That feeling of knowing that you can do better, but just can't, and in the end watching others take away the fruits of victory is really uncomfortable.
For several days in a row, Tian Ming kept himself at home, not thinking about food or tea. He very much hoped that he could have another chance to make a real science fiction film according to his ideas, so as to prove his
The strength proves the strength of Chinese science fiction movies.
But...this seems really difficult to achieve!
Moreover, when people are angry, they often lose their sense of reason. Therefore, in the past few days, he tried to write some creative short science fiction novels, but most of them were not very satisfactory.
This is even more uncomfortable.
…
Just when Tian Ming was depressed at home for several days, Wu Hengjiang suddenly received a call.
Although "Deep Space Trek" has been heavily criticized recently, its box office performance has actually met expectations and even exceeded expectations by a lot. Therefore, Beidou Entertainment also held a small internal celebration party for the film.
Because it has been criticized so much recently, the celebration party for "Deep Space Trek" was very simple and low-key. Only the producers of the film and some friends with good connections in the industry were invited. It was not open to the public and the media was not invited.
As the screenwriter of the film and a master of domestic science fiction, Tian Ming was naturally included in the invitation.
Originally, Ben Ming didn't really want to participate in this kind of activity, but he held it in for a long time at home and couldn't get anything out of it. It was better to go out and relax. So, with the encouragement of his wife, he finally went to participate.
.
What Tian Ming didn't expect was that he originally planned to have something to eat and relax at the banquet, but not long after arriving at the venue, he was dragged into a private room with a very nice environment by Wu Hengjiang.
There were several other people in the private room at the same time.
In addition to Wu Hengjiang, there are also Chen Feng, who has invested in the productions of "Crazy Stone" and "Infernal Affairs", the boss of the post-production company of "Deep Space Trek", and two relatively unfamiliar foreigners.
Wu Hengjiang enthusiastically introduced Tian Ming's identity to several people present, and everyone gave Tian Ming a few compliments.
After all, even if we don’t talk about movies, Tian Ming is respected by many people purely as a master of Chinese science fiction novels.
Tian Ming was a little strange and didn't understand why there was such a dinner at today's movie celebration party.
He has heard the name Chen Feng for a long time. After all, he is currently the most popular film investor in the film and television industry. Moreover, on the October 1st schedule, the performance of "Deep Space Trek" was far inferior to that of "Infernal Affairs".
Even Tian Ming himself had to be impressed after watching "Infernal Affairs". It was indeed a good movie, and Chen Feng was indeed a very visionary and capable person.
Therefore, Tian Ming had always been somewhat curious about Chen Feng, and now that he suddenly met him, he was very surprised.
As for the post-production company boss of "Deep Space Trek", Fang Cheng and Tian Ming have met several times. Fang Cheng was responsible for the overall project of "Deep Space Trek" at the beginning. We have communicated with each other before, but it was only for work.
In fact, Tian Ming and Fang Cheng are not too familiar with each other.
And those two strange foreigners, according to Wu Hengjiang's introduction, were foreign aids invited by Fangcheng's post-production company. They themselves had their own special effects company in Haolaiwu, but the competition there was too fierce.
Their strength itself is not top-notch, so they often go to other countries to do some support projects.
At this time, it is a bit interesting to have these people all gathered together.
…
Chen Feng actually did not expect to be directly dragged into such a dinner party by Wu Hengjiang. He only came to attend the celebration party of "Deep Space Trek" out of courtesy. After all, Wu Hengjiang went to the "Infernal Affairs" party.
At the banquet next to him, and because there were many people at the time, Wu Hengjiang obviously wanted to talk to him, but failed. Therefore, after receiving the invitation letter from Beidou Entertainment this time, Chen Feng hesitated and then actually came to attend.
.
As a result, he was dragged here by Wu Hengjiang.
However, Chen Feng was not in a hurry anyway, so he simply decided to have a meal together. Moreover, looking at the few people at the dinner, he was also quite interested.
Needless to say, Wu Hengjiang, as the boss of Beidou Entertainment, has a clear identity, and he seems to have always wanted to talk to him about something, so let's see what the matter is first.
The identities of the other people at the dinner table were also very special, including the boss of a post-production company, representatives of two foreign special effects companies, and Tian Ming, a master of Chinese science fiction.
It seems that this dinner party is related to science fiction movies after all.
Especially Tian Ming, a master of science fiction novels. Although the film "Deep Space Trek" has mixed reputations as a science fiction film, in fact, it is very exciting in terms of the plot and story of the film. Tian Ming, the screenwriter, is still
Very powerful.
After watching the movie, Chen Feng also bought a collection of Honda Akira's short science fiction novels. After reading some of his novel texts, Chen Feng was even more convinced that this person is indeed a master of science fiction!
This is just my impression after reading some of his short stories. In fact, Tian Ming also wrote several masterpieces of hundreds of thousands of words in the past few years. Those works were more popular and more famous. It was a pity that at that time, because of science fiction,
Novels are too niche, and the film and television copyrights of those full-length novels were transferred at low prices early on, and now the copyrights are no longer in Tian Ming's hands.
