When the promotional video for "The Wandering Planet" was released, many netizens and people in the entertainment industry had already been waiting in front of their computers and mobile phones, including the fat man who was far away in the imperial capital and was interested in "The Wandering Planet"
, they all clicked on the promotional video immediately.
The promotional video is as simple and direct as ever, without so many bells and whistles. From the first frame, there is a tragic and heroic narration.
"Maximum mobilization of the coalition government. Maximum mobilization of the coalition government."
"Notice to global combat readiness forces: A total of 4,777 engines around the world have experienced shutdown failures due to the influence of Jupiter's gravity."
"In order to avoid a collision between ground and wood, all departments set out immediately in accordance with emergency plan No. 3. All failed engines must be restarted within 36 hours."
"This rescue operation is related to the life and death of 3.5 billion people. The priority of the goal is higher than anything else."
"No matter the cost!"
"Once again! No matter the cost!"
Accompanied by the voice-over, Su Yang and the protagonist group, wearing protective clothing, stepped out of the snow chariot. In front of them was a blizzard. Under the blizzard was a city frozen by ice and snow: every building, every building.
A road, all covered with ice and snow
When the scene changed, thousands of snowmobiles and the snowmobile of the protagonist in the center of the target were driving towards the distance. In front of him was the frozen earth and the gray sky, but the headlights of each of their vehicles
, but together they become a spark that can start a prairie fire.
The scene turned again, showing a glacier that had split into a canyon. The glacier canyon was bottomless. Occasionally, a huge piece of broken ice fell off the glacier and hit the bottom of the canyon. The snowmobile was speeding through it.

The camera slowly pulls upward from the snowmobile, all the way out of the earth. Beyond the earth is a huge earth space station, piloting in front of the earth, and further forward is a space far larger than the earth and the pilot space station.
Jupiter
The camera pulled back from Jupiter and began to move towards the intersecting space station, gradually zooming in. Every part of the space station was clearly visible, and the details were flawless. Even the intersecting movement seemed to have an inexplicable elegance. The camera went deeper,
Going deeper and deeper, showing every detail of the space station in front of all the audience bit by bit. All the way to a window of the space station.
There was a dark figure in the window. Wu Feng was wearing a spacesuit, standing at the window, looking at the earth not far away with tenacious eyes.
The screen gradually faded to black, and finally, a big word "Wandering Planet" appeared on the screen.
Finally, at the bottom of the film title, there is a line of small words: Special Effects Production by Jiadian Pictures.
The entire promotional video lasts for almost two minutes, which is the longest among the promotional videos for "The Wandering Planet". However, most viewers only suddenly realized after seeing this: Oh, it turns out this is just a promotional video.
ah
Afterwards, their second reaction was: This is just a fucking promotional video?!
What about the feature film?
I want to watch the feature film!
Can you show the feature film soon?
Sometimes in this world, strength can really crush everything.
As soon as the special effects promotional video for "The Wandering Planet" was released, the entire Internet and the entertainment industry went crazy.
After all, there is only a glimpse of the leopard, and this special effects promotional video has revealed too many things: the frozen city that is so realistic that it looks like the real thing, every frame is perfect: the blizzard with perfect trajectory and special effects, it is like a real pilot standing in outer space
space station
There is so much content to savor and shock.
If "The Wandering Planet" only focuses on a certain special effects clip this time, then some people may still question whether the essence of the movie is contained in these two minutes.
But now "The Wandering Planet" has excerpted a lot of special effects clips and changed at least seven or eight scenes. This is simply a naked "show off": every special effects clip we pull out can beat other movies.
This explosive special effect simply blinds people's eyes.
Suddenly, the online reviews turned 180 degrees. Before, they were all questioning "The Wandering Planet", but now they are all exaggerating!
Coupled with the "hard work introduction" in the previous promotional video of "Wandering Planet", it created a tall "character" for "Wandering Planet": a professional team that spent many years and spent
Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent to create a domestic science fiction film that saves the world.
With this sentiment and the effect of the promotional video, the pre-sale box office of "The Wandering Planet" began to skyrocket. One million, two million, five million, ten million, fifty million
In just one day, the pre-sale box office of "The Wandering Planet" surged to a hundred times its original value, soaring by more than 100 million.
If it weren't for the fact that there are still people who are skeptical and have a wait-and-see mentality, and "Mermaid" has been pre-sold for many days and has a cumulative advantage, it is estimated that "Wandering Planet" could directly unseat "Mermaid".
And just when there was all kinds of commotion on the Internet, the film and television industry was also turned upside down. As professionals, relevant personnel in the film and television industry must have a more mature understanding of movies.
If you want to make a special effects blockbuster, you don't actually need directors and actors, but the entire technology chain and industry chain are mature. It's not that we haven't worked hard and tried to make domestic special effects blockbusters in recent years, but because of funds,
Due to technical and other reasons, it cannot be done.
This also leads to the fact that most movies have only 50-cent special effects.
If you want to make a good special effects movie, you must go to Europe and the United States. Not only the quality is not as good as in China, but the cost is also higher than in Europe and the United States.
This is the first-mover advantage of Western countries' industries: because they are global leaders, filmmakers from all over the world come to them for production, which leads to lower costs and a greater competitive advantage. They can invest more money in research and development of technology.
Various domestic special effects companies have to purchase various software licenses and spend a lot of money to learn. The cost itself is higher than in Western countries. In addition, the technology is not as good as that of foreign countries, so no one is willing to hire them to do special effects.
, which leaves them with even less money and no way to research and develop.
This is a negative feedback loop.
The special effects technology displayed in "The Wandering Planet" is comparable to Europe and the United States, and comparable to Hollywood.
How is this done?
Has a special effects company developed in China?
In addition to those who were shocked by the special effects, some people thought more: through the information revealed now in "Wandering Planet", this is a story that takes place in the "apocalypse", and there is no material that can be directly used in reality.
Coupled with those special effects screen displays, wouldn’t every frame of “Wandering Planet” be a special effect?
this
is it possible?
This is too scary!
This is a waste of money for Chiguoguo!
That is to say, Su Yang has money, otherwise who would be willing to spend so much money.
Who can compete with this kind of movie that is purely made of money?
Isn’t the entire Spring Festival stall going to be a bloodbath?
At this time, the general manager's office of the animation company is in the imperial capital.
Jiaozi was holding the mobile phone in his hand and was completely dumbfounded.
Because he had set special attention, he immediately received a notification as soon as Jiadian Pictures released the special effects promotional clip. He also watched this new promotional clip immediately.
As a result, he watched the promotional video with his mouth wide open the entire time. His mouth never closed.
After watching this promotional video, he only had one thought in his mind: I am Cao? Is this okay?
After that, he looked back again and thought "I am wrong" again in his mind.
He felt that there were no words to express his inner exclamation. He could only say "I am the one".
And can this movie really be produced by a domestic company?
From the exquisiteness of the special effects, the degree of realism, and the texture of the details, it can fully illustrate the awesomeness of this movie.
Jiazi really never thought that one day, a movie like this would come out.
Shouldn't this be done by oneself?
Shouldn't it be that you have to save the mess of domestic movies yourself?
Jiaozi, who always thought highly of himself, scratched his head with a headache, and after a while, he said, "Forget it. It's a good thing anyway. It's always harder to charge into battle with someone than working alone."
At this time, he thought of the "Iron Triangle" in the film and television industry in recent years: Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and Ning Hao. Because these people have similar interests, they have been working together in the film industry, supporting each other, and developing better and better.
In a short period of time, all three people have become important figures in the domestic film and television industry!
Can I also learn from them and contact "Wandering Planet"?
Let’s see if we can get into that circle and work together?
After all, everyone is a filmmaker who hopes to save domestic films.
We should be able to chat easily, right?
Thinking of this, the fat man got up, locked the office door, ignored Xiao Jia who was knocking on the door and shouting, "Boss! Boss! Have you seen the promotional video?", and then called a friend of his.
Three days later, in the magical city, Jiadian headquarters building.
Jiaozi was carrying a backpack and was welcomed in by Guo Fan with a smile on his face.
When he came to Jiadian Group, Jiao Zi had a smile on his face, but his pride was not diminished. Because today he also brought his own "work". He wanted to come here to communicate with Guo Fan!
After more than a year of hard work, Jiaozi’s animation film company has finally determined the plan for its first work: The Demon Boy Nezha of the Fengshen series.
Of course, this is just an internal project code name, and the specific real movie name will not be determined until it is submitted for review.
In order to attract investment and increase the confidence of the company's people, Jiaozi also led the team to prepare a wonderful plot in this animated movie in advance, which was considered a first step.
It is precisely this excellent touch that makes the player full of confidence.
He believes that the animated film he made must be a top-notch film in China! It may even have the potential to overwhelm all live-action films and become the number one box office hit in history!
And, you know, this is a movie series!
Once the first part is a hit, the results of the following parts will not be bad!
Then he can really rely on one series to reverse the weak situation of animated films in China, and even leave a name in the entire Chinese film history!
So even though he had the intention of asking for advice this time, Jiaozi was still arrogant.
Compared with Jiao Zi, Guo Fan is much more easy-going. He also knew some things about Jiao Zi from his good friends. He knew that Jiao Zi was an animated filmmaker with great ambitions, strong abilities, and ideals.
So after meeting Jiaozi, although he could see the arrogance in Jiaozi's heart, Guo Fan still smiled and reached out his hand to express his goodwill, "You are Jiaozi, right?"
Jiaozi looked at Guo Fan. From Guo Fan, he seemed to see a temperament similar to his own, so he guessed Guo Fan's identity immediately, "Director Guo?"
Guo Fan nodded, "Yes."
Jiaozi stretched out his hand and shook Guo Fan's hand.
Guo Fan was amused by Jiaozi's arrogant performance, but he led Jiaozi into the headquarters building without caring, "Come on. Let's talk after we come in."
Jiaozi's circle was too far away from Su Yang and he couldn't get in touch with him at all. Moreover, he always thought that Su Yang was just an investor and didn't understand movies, so he came to Guo Fan from the beginning. So it was Guo Fan who came to receive him.
Following Guo Fan into the Jiadian headquarters building, got on the elevator, and the two of them arrived at Jiadian Pictures on the third floor.
When the elevator opened, Jiao Zi looked at it curiously and found that it was different from what he imagined for Jiadian Pictures: all employees of Jiadian Pictures work in a large office area, the office atmosphere is very relaxed, and everyone has a computer.
, and from time to time there was laughter and laughter.
As Guo Fan led Jiaozi inside, he introduced, "This is Jiadian Pictures founded by Mr. Su. It mainly engages in film investment and special effects production. So Jiadian Pictures also has two departments."
"What we are seeing now is the special effects department. The investment and production departments are upstairs."
As the boss of the company, Jiaozi knew a little about the company's operations. He asked, "Aren't we going to work together?"
Guo Fan shook his head, "No. It's actually a new department over there. It's mainly responsible to the headquarters. It's more like a group of smart "financial talents." It's quite different from the emotional 'technicians' here. There's almost no cooperation between departments, so
Just break up."
After saying that, he added, "Let me tell you, Mr. Zhao probably has plans to separate the special effects department and establish a special effects company."
Jiaozi asked curiously, "Mr. Zhao?"
Guo Fan casually explained, "The CEO of the group. The person who handles the specific affairs of the group."
Jiao Zi nodded and politely did not ask any more questions.
The two of them walked to the screening room of Jiadian Pictures. At this time, the equipment had been adjusted. Guo Fan led Jiao Zi in and said, "I know that although you are called "Communication," you actually mainly want to watch "Wandering".
"Planet" is doing well. So I have applied to the company and can give you an early preview."
"But" Guo Fan paused and said seriously, "We have to sign a confidentiality agreement. After you watch it, you cannot leak any content of the movie."
Dumpling, who had expected all this, nodded quickly, "Okay."
After a while, the agreement was signed. Jiaozi put down his bag with satisfaction, rubbed his hands, and looked at the big screen expectantly, ready to wait for the movie to start.
He was really curious about how the filming of "The Wandering Planet" was going and whether it was really as amazing as the promotional video.
And Guo Fan didn't delay any further. He closed the door of the screening room and started to play the movie for Jiaozi.
At the same time, Su Yang happened to have something to deal with at the company, so he drove towards the headquarters of Jiadian Group.
