Regarding someone's showing off behavior, Li Yanan placed all the trophies and certificates he had from college to graduate school next to him.
...This is so embarrassing. Han Fei took one look at it and had to admit that a scumbag would never be able to escape from the shadow of a top student.
So, Han Fei decided to suppress Li Yanan in another aspect, well, literally.
"Ah, what are you doing? It's broad daylight..."
Due to the long journey, Han Fei failed to achieve his goal and actually let Li Yanan gain the upper hand...
Sure enough, there were only exhausted cows and no damaged land.
After "I am not the God of Medicine" was written, Han Fei was not idle either. It was not about the company, but many official media interviews and some activities.
Obviously, the Huabiao Awards suddenly awarded him the Best Actor Award this time in order to set a model. Since he is a model, he must naturally cooperate with the official media's publicity.
No, Han Fei went to the movie channel to record a program.
"Mr. Han, this is the outline of today's interview. Please take a look at it." The host smiled and handed over a document.
Han Fei has just won the Huabiao Award for Best Actor, so the popularity of the program interviewing him is obvious.
The official program was naturally quite satisfactory. Han Fei just glanced at it and nodded: "No problem, let's start as soon as possible."
Compared with those entertainment reporters, these questions are a piece of cake. If the entertainment reporters followed this outline for interviews, they would probably all starve to death.
This program on the movie channel is also very simple. It is an interview program between the host and celebrity guests. There is no audience on site and it is still recorded and broadcast. It is no challenge to Han Fei.
"Hello everyone in front of the TV, this is Starlight Face to Face. The one who came to our show today is Han Fei, the actor who played Lu Yi in "I'm Not the God of Medicine", welcome." The host girl said energetically.
Hot field.
The camera turned to Han Fei.
"Hello everyone, I am Han Fei. I am very happy to meet you face to face at Starlight."
What followed was some innocuous Q&A sessions, which were nothing more than how he came up with the idea of filming a movie with a theme like "I'm Not the God of Medicine", some of the difficulties he encountered while filming this movie, and some interesting things among the crew.
In fact, how can there be so many interesting things in the crew? Most of them are made up by the screenwriter, purely for publicity.
However, the host's last question aroused Han Fei's interest.
"Thank you Han Fei for your wonderful sharing. I have another question here, which is also the one that receives the most opinions online. Netizens want to know whether your future shooting direction will be towards special effects movies as before, or will you follow the same trend?
[I am not a medicine god] explores social reality themes of human nature in this way?"
Han Fei's heart moved: "Actually, I don't have a preference for any subject. The main thing is to look at the script. Without a good script, everything is useless. However, I should be filming a science fiction blockbuster recently."
"Really?" The host's eyes lit up, this was a breaking point.
"Of course." In fact, long before "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released, Han Fei had already planned to release a science fiction blockbuster at the end of the year, mainly to give "Tiangong" work.
This is the benefit of having a complete industrial chain. No matter what changes occur externally, the internal side can always make strategic adjustments following the needs of the industrial chain.
After returning from CCTV, Han Fei directly called the crew for a meeting. Jiang Qinghou and others were very excited. They were finally going to make a science fiction blockbuster. Just like every boy's dream journey is the stars and the sea, what filmmakers pursue is to transform fantasy into reality.
Become a reality!
"Has the script writing been completed?" Han Fei asked.
Jiang Qinghou nodded and handed over a script: "This is a script written in detail according to your outline. It has been discussed and revised three times. I think it has reached the shooting level."
"Bird Films" has always had very high requirements for scripts. The scripts are divided into three levels. The first is the first draft level, the second is the review level. The most advanced shooting level is when all the world views and character biographies have been completed.
, can be set as the shooting level.
Han Fei took over a thick stack of documents. On the first page, there were four big characters "Avatar" printed on it.
That's right, Han Fei finally made his move on this epic science fiction blockbuster. The shock that "Avatar" brought to every film practitioner was subversive.
It may even give people the illusion that this is not a movie that should exist in this era at all.
Just like when the first "Star Wars" was released in 1977, it shocked the audience. It was an unparalleled audio-visual experience, and a whole new world seemed to be unfolding before their eyes.
"Avatar" is such a work. Its appearance even made many domestic directors despair, because many directors found that even if they were allowed to copy it, they would not be able to produce such a work.
That feeling of powerlessness is simply despairing. Even after so many years, there is still no movie that can reach the heights of "Avatar", which shows the quality of "Avatar".
This time, Han Fei does not intend to magically change the plot of "Avatar". This time, his eyes are not limited to the domestic market.
In fact, the impact of the epidemic on Hollywood has been huge. Many film and television companies have been hit hard. Moreover, due to the unfavorable situation in the United States in controlling the epidemic, it will take at least next year to return to normal order.
This is an opportunity for Chinese films. It will take at least next year for the United States to fully resume work. Moreover, the impact of the epidemic in the United States on ordinary people is far more serious than that of Chinese residents.
Because the American people do not have the concept of saving, they are used to spending money this month and next month. The massive unemployment caused by the epidemic will have a fatal blow to American theaters.
If we want to return to normal levels, we have to wait at least until around Christmas next year.
"Well, the script is good, so let's prepare it for review and project approval." Han Fei nodded.
This script is set in a blurred background. The protagonist is a retired special forces soldier with paralyzed legs. His twin brother is employed by a joint mining company. One day he receives news of his brother's death, and is subsequently taken to Pandora by the mining company.
Planet, the story unfolds here.
The script review went very smoothly, mainly because after the epidemic, many film and television companies went bankrupt, and the review department's work became a lot less busy.
Soon the news that the new script of "Feiniao Film and Television" passed the review and approval was spread through the media and began to spread throughout the entire Internet.
Each of Han Fei's new films has received great attention, not to mention that he just won the Huabiao Award for Best Actor. For a while, almost all major forums were discussing this new film.
The most speculated thing is what the name "Avatar" means. This name is really confusing and has a sense of fantasy.
Many netizens gave their own guesses, which were varied. Some said it was the name of a planet, and some said it was the name of a certain plant.
But soon, the broadcast of the Starlight Face-to-Face program on the movie channel instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Is Han Fei finally going to make another science fiction blockbuster? Looking forward to it!"
"I just want to say, Han Fei, a maniac who digs holes, where is the Wandering Earth 2 that he has agreed on?"
Indeed, a large part of the audience's expectations for "The Wandering Earth 2" are still quite high. If the title of Han Fei's new film had not been revealed in advance, many netizens would probably think that he was going to fill the gap in "The Wandering Earth 2".
However, it didn't happen. Therefore, Han Fei's nickname as a pit digger naturally became more popular. After all, the pit in Tomb Raider Notes had not been filled before.
Many tomb robber fans waited until the flowers withered, but still did not wait for the follow-up plot of Tomb Raider Notes, which made many tomb robber fans call it: "In This Lifetime Series".
The online discussion about "Avatar" has not affected the progress of Han Fei's team. Everyone is working hard to perfect the Pandora planet in the movie.
In fact, when Cameron's team designed Pandora, they based it on real scenes on Earth. For example, Pandora's tree elves were actually inspired by deep-sea jellyfish, and the lightning beast was a cheetah.
Hallelujah Mountain is actually the Huangshan Mountain of China, but it is made to float in the air through special effects.
Of course, Han Fei's version will definitely not use the name Hallelujah Mountain. The sacred mountain of Pandora in the film is called "Kunlun"
Just like when filming "The Wandering Earth", many of the props in "Avatar" were unavailable. Each item needed to be drawn and then customized, and some could only be modeled and printed using a 3D printer.
This is an extremely huge project, and Wen Qi, the artist, has become the busiest person. Everyone is waiting for him to produce the drawings before the follow-up work can continue.
And Jiang Qinghou was not idle either. In addition to drawing the storyboards, he also had to design sketches for many scenes. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Wenqi to have a direction.
As the coordinator, Han Fei is naturally too busy to keep track of all the details. After all, "Avatar" is of too great significance to him, and he does not want to ruin the film because of his negligence.
An epoch-making movie.
"These sketches are not good. What we want to create is a fantasy atmosphere, not a horror film. What we want to convey to the audience is a feeling of beauty and danger. This is obviously inconsistent with the theme." Han Fei said.
Wen Qi scratched his head in frustration. Before, he thought his idea was good, but Han Fei said that there were indeed some problems. The style of these sketches tended to be dark and too rough.
Wen Qi had no choice but to redraw it. Wen Qi knew that if something went wrong here, the whole subsequent filming would be messed up, so he had no choice but to stay up late and work overtime to get out.
In addition to those preparing in Beijing, a group of photographers were sent to various parts of the country to take location photos, and a large number of photos were sent back almost every day.
In addition to Huangshan and Zhangjiajie selected in the original version, Han Fei also plans to include many beautiful Chinese scenery in the film.
Even for science fiction blockbusters, he still insists on the mode of real-life special effects, because the effect of shooting in this way will be far more realistic than using special effects to cut out pictures.
And it is worth mentioning that with the experience accumulated in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", the motion capture system in "Avatar" no longer needs to be produced by an American special effects company, which will undoubtedly save a lot of costs.
As for the actors, there is not much demand. After all, this film focuses on special effects. Most of the protagonists do not show their faces, and they all appear as "Smurfs." As long as the acting skills are good, it will actually be the same no matter who plays it.
This is also the reason why Han Fei is not in a hurry to choose actors.
However, he is not in a hurry, and naturally some people are. Since Han Fei's new film was exposed, all the agencies in the industry have been eyeing this piece of fat. After all, even if he plays a supporting role in Han Fei's film, he can get a very high salary.
of attention.
As long as it is operated properly and the coffee level is raised a small level, there will be no problem.
However, a month has passed, and "Feiniao Film and Television" still has not announced the casting news, which makes people wonder, is this guy going to live alone?
In fact, Zhou Jian thought that he wished that all the actors in "Avatar" were played by his own artists. After all, artists have been having a hard time recently. There are not many crews to start the show. Many film and television companies not only put
The pay is very low, and new people are often hired. There is no way, the crew budget is not enough.
This makes many highly-valued artists very uncomfortable. Should they take the initiative to reduce their pay? If you can't live with it, why don't you reduce it? Sorry, there are no films to be made. No films to be made, which means there is no exposure. Naturally, other advertising endorsements will also
To shrink.
Therefore, for artists in the entertainment industry, the suspension of work during the epidemic is not the hardest thing to endure, but what will be harder to endure is after the epidemic.
Netizens are also very curious. The script of "Avatar" has been reviewed and approved for more than a month. Logically speaking, the project should have been approved long ago. Why is there no news at all?
There are even rumors on the Internet that Han Fei has insufficient liquidity due to the acquisition of theater chains, and the investment in "Avatar" is too huge, so Han Fei has been busy raising funds during this period.
Don't worry, there seems to be some truth in this statement. After all, 10 billion of real money was spent on investing in theaters, and Han Fei would still be out of pocket even if he spent the money.
However, they seem to have forgotten that the box office share of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will be received in one month. No matter how large the investment is in "Avatar", it is impossible to spend more than one billion, right?
But don’t mention it, this statement is very popular in the industry, causing Han Fei to receive several calls a day asking if he needs investment.
If I hadn't known these investors, I probably would have thought it was a scam call.
Han Fei was so annoyed that he could only publish a post on his Weibo, saying that the company's funds were in good condition and no investment was needed.
This has also made many people in the industry sigh, look at this, investors come to you for free, and then look at yourself? I beg my grandfather to sue my grandma for an investment. Sometimes I drink until my stomach bleeds, but I just can’t talk.
