Chapter 1,423 The future version of 'Wu Gang's Conquest of Guangxi'
In the end, Li Yi chose Lin Yunbin to star in "Moon".
Although the image of the male protagonist in "Moon" does not have high requirements, it does not mean that there are no requirements.
Zhou Guo's appearance is too outstanding, and Chen Wen's age is too high. Lin Yunbin is right in between the two, so he is considered the most suitable candidate.
As for the film "Moon", after choosing the male protagonist, the other actors can be completely ignored, because their combined roles are not many.
However, although "Moon" is a low-cost science fiction, in fact, it also requires scene construction, but in comparison, the requirements are not that high.
At this point, Li Yi decided to seek help from the space agency. In fact, what many people don't know is that China has been supporting the development of science fiction movies in recent years.
Do you want to say that science fiction movies have any other significance compared to other movies?
The answer is yes. According to this science fiction film festival, the charm and value of science fiction films lie in inspiring young people's innovative thinking and broadening their horizons. When the grand issues of human destiny and science fiction technology are presented to them, they must
It will sow the seeds of science in their hearts and help the growth of the new generation of science and technology!
Of course, Li Yi didn't think that much.
Although the scenes in "Moon" are single, they are not natural scenes and require artificial construction.
For example, the space capsule on the moon, the lunar surface, etc., all need to be built by the crew. In this regard, the original version may be a little rough due to cost considerations, but Li Yi wanted to keep improving.
Therefore, he wanted to ask someone from the space agency to help build the moon scene.
This aspect is not difficult for the space agency, not to mention that this movie was directed by Li Yi.
On the other hand, Tang Lu successfully completed the task, or in other words, completed the task beyond normal.
What could be more effective in building momentum for the Science Fiction Film Festival than a new science fiction film directed by Li Yi, the first domestic director?
In fact, this is also true. Of course, this time the organizing committee and the official side really attach great importance to this science fiction film festival. Therefore, not only Li Yi has established the "Moon" project, but other directors also have several related science fiction films.
The project will be unveiled at the first China Science Fiction Film Festival.
After the news came out, the reaction from the outside world was quite large.
"Director Dog is finally going to make a science fiction movie again. After waiting for a long time, it is finally here today. Science fiction fans are in luck!"
"Yes, if you think about it, the domestic science fiction movies are actually not that small in total, but the science fiction movies that can be called really popular and popular, it seems that they are all made by dog directors!"
"From "The Truman Show" to "Artificial Intelligence" to "WALL-E," they were all filmed by Li Yi!"
"That being said, it's true. I didn't expect Director Gou to be so good at science fiction films besides sensationalism. I look forward to it!"
"To be honest, when I first heard that there will be a science fiction film festival next year, I wanted to laugh a little. Is there a science fiction film festival in China? Are you kidding me? Our country has always been known as a science fiction film desert. But
When I met Director Li Yi, I suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Our domestic films also have classic science fiction films!"
“That’s all you’ve been waiting for, I hope you won’t be disappointed!”
"When has a dog director ever disappointed everyone?"
Li Yi didn't pay too much attention to the reaction from the outside world. The script of "Moon" was quickly written by him, and at the same time, there was also the construction of related scenes of "Moon", such as the space capsule where the male protagonist lives, the moon
Surface, etc.
In fact, what Li Yi didn't know before was that the space agency actually had a place to simulate the lunar environment internally. After all, although space exploration and aerospace technology have been developing, the fact is that
Speaking of planets, apart from the earth, the one that humans have studied the most, or have the most contact with, is still the moon.
Even when seeing the creative idea of Li Yi's script, Professor Xu Jianbin, the instructor assigned by the space agency to the crew, laughed and said that the idea of going to the moon to mine resources in "Moon" really didn't make sense.
It is too advanced, because, in fact, with the current science and technology, it is already possible.
After all, we have already brought back lunar soil from the moon. From this point of view, although the current technology is not mature enough, in fact, since landing on the moon can be achieved, it is possible to mine resources from the moon.
It is no longer just a fantasy, but has great feasibility.
Because of these objective reasons, the construction of the filming scene for "Moon" became very smooth.
Of course, because it is used for filming movies after all, there is no need to present a realistic situation in all aspects like the "Lunar Environment Laboratory" built by the space agency itself.
Moreover, Professor Xu Jianbin also said that the scale of the simulated moon experiment built within the space agency is actually very small. Because they have to strive for excellence, the money spent is definitely not what Li Yi and the others can compare with when making a movie. Therefore, this time Li Yi and the "Moon" crew
Cooperating with the space agency to build a lunar surface scene for filming is also a good experimental opportunity for the space agency.
Of course, filming "Moon" also requires Lin Yunbin to receive training from the space agency. After all, there is a big difference between being on the moon and on the earth.
Since we have to take pictures, we can’t make them too distorted.
As for the movie "Moon", it actually caused huge discussion when the title was announced.
The main reason is that flying to the sky and landing on the moon can be said to have very important significance among the people and in the history of China.
We often talk about the Nine Heavens Holding the Moon, as well as the Moon Palace, Chang'e, etc. in mythological stories. It can be said that they all have a very large public base.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, most people actually know a little bit about spaceflight and moon landing, so the movie "Moon" will also be a good show to show the real moon landing.
of something.
For example, the lunar rover, in terms of prop manufacturing, will also be simulated under the guidance of the space agency. Of course, it will definitely be different from the real lunar rover, but the appearance can be achieved to a 1:1 level.
After all, a movie is a movie, and what matters is the visual effects, so similarity in appearance is enough.
In fact, there is a reason why the original "Moon" is called the most likely scenario to be realized in the future.
After all, as of now, the earth can already bring back soil from the moon, so in the near future, mining on the moon will no longer be a castle in the air, but will have the support of technology.
The preparations for "Moon" went very smoothly. Of course, apart from the starring role and scene construction, there wasn't much that needed to be prepared for this movie.
The cost of a movie actually includes many aspects.
Among them, scene construction definitely accounts for a large proportion. For some movies, dozens or even hundreds of different scenes need to be built to shoot a movie, so the money consumed is self-evident.
As for "Moon", the plot of the movie almost all takes place in the same place, so in this regard, it will naturally save a lot of money, manpower and material resources.
When the final version of the script for the movie "Moon" was released, Li Yi changed the name of the protagonist in the movie in a bad way.
Well, it turned out that Lin Xi was randomly thought up by Li Yi. Later, I thought about it, since it was going to be domestically produced and adapted locally, then it must highlight some characteristics.
Therefore, the final male protagonist was changed to "Wu Gang" by Li Yi!
The male protagonist is mining on the moon, which can be said to be somewhat similar to the story of "Wu Gang's Expedition of Guangxi" in the mythical story.
There are several versions of the story about "Wu Gang's Conquest of Guangxi", and Li Yi felt that it was quite similar to one of them.
According to legend, Wu Gang was punished by the Emperor of Heaven and went to the Moon Palace to cut down osmanthus trees, but the osmanthus trees kept growing as they were cut down. The Jade Emperor regarded this never-ending labor as a punishment for Wu Gang.
Wu Gang's cutting down the osmanthus trees was endless labor, with no future in sight. He cut down the osmanthus trees day after day without any end.
The same male protagonist of "Moon" is a clone, and there are many clones like him on the moon. He has to work on the moon for three years, and three years later, another clone will continue to work.
Three years.
The same thing is endlessly looping, looping, looping.
Therefore, there are actually very magical connections and similarities between the two.
After the script was released, Mu Qing felt that changing the actor's name to Wu Gang was a stroke of genius.
The preparations for "Moon" are quickly coming to an end.
Because we had to finish the film before the Science Fiction Film Festival, time was actually very tight.
And this time, because we have to give a platform to the Science Fiction Film Festival, publicity is naturally inevitable. For the launch of "Moon", we held a big launch conference this time.
Hengzhou Film and Television City, the filming base of "Moon".
The launch conference of "Moon" will be held here.
Li Yi's movie, and it is also a science fiction movie, naturally attracted countless media reporters.
"Director Dog is finally going to make a science fiction movie again, and what's rare is that this time he's going straight out of the earth and towards the moon!" While waiting for the press conference to begin, reporters were also chatting.
"You can't say that, right? Didn't the original "WALL-E" also rush out of the earth?"
"When it comes to science fiction movies, you really have to watch Li Yi. Although he doesn't seem to have made many movies, every one of them is a classic! Especially "The Truman Show" and "WALL-E"!"
"You really can't tell just by looking at the title of the film. "Moon" is such a common name!"
"Let's wait until the press conference starts. We'll reveal something by then, right?"
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was time for the launch conference of "Moon".
"Thank you all friends from the media for coming all the way to attend the launch conference of "Moon" directed by Director Li Yi. According to Director Li's request, we will skip other links this time and go directly to the question and answer session that everyone is most looking forward to."
The essence of a press conference has always been the question-and-answer session, and Li Yi simply ignored other situations this time. Anyway, media reporters will definitely ask more questions.
Instead of answering repeatedly, it is better to go directly to the question and answer session.
"Please raise your hands to ask questions. Due to time constraints, each reporter is only allowed to ask one question. Thank you!"
Soon, reporters raised their hands one after another.
The host first called on the reporter from the Six Princess Channel.
"I am Fan Wenjun, a reporter from Six Princess Channel. I would like to ask Director Li, can you introduce what kind of movie "Moon" is?" Fan Wenjun asked.
"Ahem, there are many mythological stories on the moon, including Chang'e flying to the moon, flying to the sky, Wu Gang conquering Guangxi, etc. It can be said that they have a very broad mass base among the people. In fact, the inspiration for "Moon" also comes from mythological stories
"Wu Gang conquered Gui"!" As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, the media below were in an uproar.
"It won't be a period film, right?"
"Are you kidding me? It's impossible, right?"
"Then why do you talk about Wu Gang's expedition to Guangxi?"
In fact, I don’t blame everyone for thinking so, because after all, if they are asked to think about it, it is really difficult to imagine that the story of Wu Gang’s conquest of Guangxi has been modernized.
"You can think of "Moon" as a story about "Wu Gang's conquest of Gui" in the future. The specific content will not be revealed for the time being. When the movie is filmed, everyone will understand." Li Yi said with a smile.
.
Although many people are not satisfied with Li Yi's simple answer, they all know that Li Yi is not like other small directors. He can say so much, which is already very good. After all, Li Yi has done more outrageous things before.
This time, he also revealed the future version of the story of Wu Gang's defeat of Gui. In the past, he even told "The Story of Hachigong" as a story of a dog and a man.
It’s outrageous anyway!
But you can’t say that he was wrong. In fact, it is indeed a story about a dog and a man!
He didn't say it was a story that happened on the moon, but it was already very impressive, right?
"I am Zou Lin, a reporter from Penguin Entertainment. I would like to ask Mr. Lin Yunbin, Mr. Lin, from the information released now, the only starring role in "Moon" is your name. Does this mean that this movie is entirely yours?
A one-man show?"
In fact, "Moon" did not release much information at all, but everyone only knew that Lin Yunbin was the starring role of this movie. In fact, after the news of the movie project got out, many people were gearing up to get a role, but it turned out that
, the movie has no other characters at all.
A science fiction movie is actually a one-man show. It can be said that this kind of movie is really, really special.
"It's not a one-man show, right? Well, I can only tell you that I will act opposite myself. It's not convenient to reveal the rest at the moment!" Lin Yunbin said with a smile.
In fact, he didn't lie, because indeed, although there are other characters in this movie, such as the protagonist's wife and daughter, they don't have many roles.
And the most drama is between him and the other him!
