Chapter 83 Are you sure this is not a movie? (1/5)
At the beginning of the movie, there are historical scenes from World War I to the Universal Era.
From the wars of World War I, to the wars of World War II, to the subsequent great development of science and technology, and the arrival and end of World War III, then the development and launch of colonial satellites, all the way to the cosmic era.
After just a few minutes of introduction, relying on the special effects that were ahead of the times and spending a lot of money, the audience was dazzled and dizzy.
Luo Cheng, in a conference room in a two-story building.
Bai Xueye swallowed the potato chips, licked her fingers, and said with emotion: "I didn't feel it when I was filming. I just thought it was boring and funny in the green screen studio. I didn't expect the final film to be so effective...
..”
Wang Ye said with a smile: "This is the power of technology. It's a pity that I didn't watch imax in the cinema with such a good effect. TV can't reflect how awesome the picture of this drama is."
Huang Xicheng was very depressed: "It's a pity that I don't have much performance in this drama... It would be too ridiculous to let the mobile suit do Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Bagua, etc."
He still feels bad about not being able to express his level to the best of his ability.
"Watch a show and watch a show." Lin Chuan impatiently lit a cigar and smoked it lightly.
His heart is bleeding.
Because he had already seen the finished film, he knew that his father and the others should also be watching this film now.
I guess tomorrow, no...maybe in the evening, I will receive a call from my father.
Thinking of this, he sighed and asked: "What brand of sunscreen is good? And what should I prepare if I go to the desert?"
Luo Jun asked strangely: "What are you doing? Traveling to the oil tycoon?"
"No, I'm going to the Sahara to repair the earth and plant trees for Mother Earth." Lin Chuan was about to cry.
Luo Jun: "Ah this..."
The rich second generation is indeed a different race from humans. As a low-class rich second generation, he does not understand the brain circuits of the high-class rich second generation at all.
............
Shang Hai, in the living room of a certain community.
A female high school student with long hair and a good figure sat on the carpet with her knees in her arms, staring at the TV screen with her big eyes.
Unlike the short-haired best friends around her who were yelling and screaming, she actually felt that this TV series was not interesting so far.
But because it is a TV series produced by Brother Zhang Hong, she will still watch it even if it is not interesting!
As for the ratings, if you can support it, please support it!
Gu Yan, the short-haired steel plate girl, was very happy to see it: "From today on! I officially become a fan of Zhang Hong! It's really the special effects blockbusters that are amazing! I have never seen so many special effects in a movie!"
The first episode of the TV series had been played for more than half an hour, which greatly shocked her young mind.
Mobile suits, lightsabers, laser guns, space battleships, and the lifestyle on colonial satellites!
These are things she has never seen before!
It can’t be said that I have never seen it before, at least I have seen battleships and so on.
But a TV series is full of special effects from the beginning to the present, and the real ones don’t look like CG at all!
She has never seen this before!
"Honestly, I think Zhang Hong should not continue to make TV series. It is a waste of his talent! He should make movies!"
Obviously, dozens of inches of TVs and home audio systems can no longer satisfy Gu Yan's love for this drama.
"A movie..." Su Xiaoyue hugged her legs and fell into longing.
However, she still prefers to watch drama movies, and it would be better if it could be acted by Brother Zhang Hong himself.
She has no interest in this kind of special effects blockbuster.
But probably because she is young and a girl, she is not too sensitive to the things behind this film.
In the living room of a house in a certain community in Beijing, after hearing her husband's words, Liu Yan, who was wearing a facial mask, rolled her eyes and said, "Why did you take your son's side? This drama is not interesting at all. It's still "Blood"
The son's performance in "Youth" is very good. There is also "Yun Luo Hong Chen", which is obviously much better than this."
Standing up, she touched her face to adjust the fit of the mask, then took the tablet and walked back to the bedroom: "I went back to watch "The Red Dust"."
"It's true that long hair means short knowledge." Zhang Hao muttered in his heart.
Compared to those, he prefers this "Mobile Suit".
He even saw the scene of the space battle between mobile suits and battleships. He was so excited that he trembled all over and even stood up and walked back and forth several times.
This is a classic expression of surging blood with nowhere to vent.
"Damn, I have to take a cold shower after reading this."
Mecha is a man’s romance! Women will never understand!
Zhang Hao admitted that he was deeply attracted.
Originally, I just wanted to see Lao Liang's jokes because I knew a little bit about the inside story, but I never thought...it's actually pretty good!
During this period, I was bombarded with advertisements every day, and even the advertisements for this drama were placed on Jixing Video and CCTV.
He was deeply suspicious of the one billion production budget promoted by the TV series, so he called Lao Liang and made some insinuations.
Unexpectedly, it really cost one billion! And my son spent more than 994 million on this drama!
The total cost of the actors was less than 10 million!
As expected of me, Zhang Hao’s son! He can even do things that others can’t do while filming a TV series!
Um?
Zhang Hao's eyes instantly became alert.
He patted his cheek and said to himself: "No! This is that kid's sugar-coated bomb! It's just a special effect! It would be the same no matter who you are! There won't be so much investment in the next part! I want to see you
What can you take a picture of?"
But before that... let's enjoy this drama.
Tsk, even this 100-inch TV feels a bit small, and the hundreds of thousands of speakers are not very powerful.
Sigh...forget it, I'll wait for the official Blu-ray source to be released some other time and go to a movie theater to screen it in a reserved area.
............
Within the Chinese Film Association.
"Old Sun, you are indeed the person you and Old Liu are optimistic about. The filming of this drama is really good!"
Wu Dingguo, president of the China Film and Television Association, was full of praise for this drama.
Leaving Zhang Hong and Lin Muqing in the alley, Sun Zhengle, who had just arrived, said cheerfully: "A young man is better than a young man. I knew Xiao Hong had talent when he was in school."
It was enough for him and Liu Yishou to take Zhang Hong there; the things here were more important to them.
Not far away, there was a middle-aged man who sneered: "It's just throwing money at it. If you give me one billion, I can make it. What's the point of bragging?"
Sun Zheng smiled and said nothing.
That person's name is Wang Zhi, and he is a very famous director in China.
I have filmed TV series and now I have entered the film industry.
He had no conflict with Zhang Hong, but he and Sun Zheng were rivals in the past.
He is also one of the few directors in Sun Zheng's circle who is not easy to deal with.
In the past two years, he jumped out of the TV industry and joined the film industry. He was not Sun Zheng's rival before because he made a pretty good movie, but now he is more and more targeting Sun Zheng.
It's not that I'm looking down on you, but I'm provoking you.
He and Sun Zheng were classmates, and his grades in school were always better than Sun Zheng's, and he was better than Sun Zheng in every aspect.
As a result, after actually entering the TV industry, Sun Zheng made rapid progress along the way, overwhelming him.
He hasn't fucked Sun Zheng in more than 20 years.
There happened to be a good opportunity two years ago, and he also received a very good book in his hand, so he went to the film industry.
The film I shot was pretty good.
So now he provokes Sun Zheng every chance he gets.
It's not that I want to suppress him, but... I want to inspire Sun Zheng to go to the film industry and continue to fall in love with him.
I am no match for you in the TV series, I admit it.
But I can definitely beat you in movies!
It's a pity...Sun Zheng just won't go! This makes him anxious to death.
Next to him, Liu Yishou, who had also just returned, sneered: "One billion? Let's not talk about whether you can get the one billion investment. Even if I give you one billion, will you be so damn good at spending it?"
Faced with Liu Yishou, a well-recognized steel gun in the industry, Wang Zhi's momentum was not so strong: "One billion...why doesn't anyone know how to spend it?"
He didn't mention whether he could raise one billion in investment.
"Ha." Liu Yishou snorted coldly, "Do you know what special effects company they are looking for? Do you know that they are using technology and software that were just developed internally and will not be used until four or five years later? Do you have the connections to let them know?
Can it be used by you in advance? Do you have a site like China Heavy Industries and a large number of professional engineers?
You must know that Xiaohong’s one billion yuan does not include publicity and distribution! The total remuneration for his actors is less than ten million! Approval, star placement, CCTV, and advertising, all of which were paid for by China Heavy Industries, which is more than one billion yuan.
Money and contacts!
Can the TV series you filmed be broadcast on CCTV?"
Faced with Liu Yishou's "combination boxing", Wang Zhi opened his mouth.
After a while, he said unwillingly: "What future does a TV series have? This is all he will do after being in this industry for a lifetime. If he has the ability, he can make movies!"
This time, Liu Yishou sat back with a smile.
Instead, a group of TV industry bosses who had nothing to do with them started looking at Wang Zhi angrily.
"Okay! Everyone, take a rest first. Don't forget why we came here tonight." Chairman Wu Dingguo also had a headache.
I called all the leaders in the film, television, and publishing circles here today to talk about this matter?
Wu Dingguo is a giant who single-handedly supported China's film, television, and book publishing industries more than thirty years ago. Everyone must give him face.
The directors on both sides are no longer tit for tat.
Only then did Wu Dingguo become slightly satisfied: "That's right, we are all our own people! Regardless of movies or TV shows, we are all members of the Chinese cultural circle! What does internal fighting sound like!"
After a pause, he continued: "So, does everyone have any objections to the shortlist of candidates for the Feitian Award, Golden Eagle Award, Hundred Flowers Award, Golden Rooster Award, and Huabiao Award? If not, just submit the application.
As usual, the Golden Eagle Award and the Hundred Flowers Award are decided by the people. We must put an end to the practice of rigging votes and carefully review them.
And for the Feitian Award and the Golden Rooster Award, in principle, the directors and producers of the participating films are not allowed to participate in the selection. You should not inquire about the judges. Everyone understands the rules, and don’t make it difficult for me."
Everyone knows Wu Dingguo's character, so everyone has no opinion.
As for why the Huabiao Award is not mentioned...
This is a film award officially sponsored by China to express its support for the film industry.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Wu Dingguo added: "There is another thing, which is also the reason why everyone should watch Zhang Hong's film. Let's vote for "Mobile Suit" and whether we should make an exception and let this film enter the selection."
These awards are basically held in March and April in spring, and the candidate works are all outstanding works produced in the previous year.
And "Mobile Suit" is a TV series this year. Even if it were to be selected, it should be next year.
But Wu Dingguo had his own ideas.
The main reason is that Zhang Hong is too young, he is only twenty-four or five years old this year.
Such young and outstanding juniors are rare in the industry.
You must know that even directors in their thirties and forties are considered young directors in the industry.
Not to mention young people in their twenties.
People like Liu Yishou and Sun Zheng are in their prime.
Wu Dingguo never considered the idea that a tree that is beautiful in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.
In his opinion, the best thing to do to become famous is early!
Anything that is hardened and precipitated is all nonsense!
He was only in his early thirties at the time, but he had already led the Chinese film and television industry to the top ranks of the world!
Only with fresh blood can this industry continue to progress and have a future. This is his consistent view.
People like Liu Yishou, Sun Zheng, and Wang Zhi were all trained by his discerning eye more than twenty years ago.
Another reason is that in his opinion, the industry has now entered a stage of prosperity and decline.
The entry of capital has led to a significant increase in actors' remuneration and the cost of TV and movies.
The box office is also on the rise.
But he was even more worried.
For short-term profits, capital will train actors like an assembly line. Gradually, those young actors lose their personality and have no intention of polishing their acting skills.
And scripts have become assembly-line works, becoming more and more homogeneous.
This is unacceptable to him.
Now that Zhang Hong has finally appeared, of course he must be promoted as a model!
That's why he proposed this motion.
Seeing that no one objected, Wu Dingguo said: "Then let's start voting. Those who agree will raise their hands, and those who disagree or abstain will let it go. If more than half of the votes are passed, it will pass."
Liu Yishou and Sun Zheng raised their hands without any hesitation.
The third person who raised his hand turned out to be Wang Zhi, who had questioned Zhang Hong just now.
Facing Liu Yishou's strange look, he snorted coldly: "The investment in the film is huge, but of course this film is qualified to be selected. I have nothing to say."
Liu Yishou smashed and smashed without saying a word.
Soon, more than two-thirds of the people raised their hands.
Wu Dingguo smiled and said: "Then pass it. Come down and enjoy the film in peace. Remember to give me a copy when the box office statistics are released in the early morning."
After finishing his instructions, he turned back to look at an old man wearing glasses and a suit, with his hair combed meticulously.
The old man had been watching all this with a smile and did not participate in it.
His surname is also Liu, but he is not in the same circle as film and television.
He is a science fiction writer who has won the Hugo Award, the American Nebula Award, and the Chinese Mo Zhai Award.
He is also the current president of the China Science Fiction Literature and Art Association - the association that awards the Mo Zhai Award.
Wu Dingguo was also full of respect for this literary giant. He lowered his head slightly and asked softly: "Mr. Liu, do you think this "Mobile Suit" can be a candidate for this year's Mo Zhai Award?"
"There are talented people from generation to generation, and I haven't seen such an outstanding young person for a long time." Mr. Liu took off his glasses and wiped them, and then said with a warm smile, "Of course he is qualified, I will nominate him personally."
............
The first episode has come to an end.
Shencheng, in the Liang family villa.
This time Liang Luo didn't shed any more tears, but his eyes were also red.
Just like him, there is his old father Liang Tian.
When the symphony at the end of the film started playing, he looked at his father.
Liang Tian nodded.
So Liang Luo dialed the number.
............
On the outskirts of Shenzhen City, there is a photo studio.
The open-air studio set up in advance was simultaneously playing CCTV's "Mobile Suit".
And several engineers are still working overtime here.
The kind that requires no overtime pay and is voluntary.
They were standing on the scaffolding adjusting various button pusher equipment in the Gundam's cockpit, while looking back at the screen from time to time.
They really liked mobile suits, so they thought about not only building a model, but also transforming the cockpit into something like the one in the TV series.
Of course, it can be started at startup and can be operated.
But the model definitely cannot be moved yet.
At this time, the phone of the engineer sitting in the cockpit rang.
He answered the phone, and the words that came out of the receiver made him happy:
