Chapter 135: If something goes wrong, there must be a demon

"It has been revealed that Li Qian's new film has been confirmed, the title is "Moon", it is suspected to be a science fiction theme!"

"It is understood that Li Qian's new film "Moon" has been registered with Optoelectronics, and the subject matter has been determined to be in the science fiction category!"

"Is it a true science fiction movie, or is it still trying to sell you something?"

"The new billionaire director Li Qian is making a new film after three months. Can "Moon" create another box office miracle?"

...

The film had just been sent to Optoelectronics for filing, and within a few days it had already been circulated.

It is not difficult to check the movies registered by Optoelectronics. No one has a good relationship.

The media quickly reported on it, but Optoelectronics will definitely not leak the script, and there is no need for a review committee to submit the script. It is only required for the finished film.

Originally, when applying for a filming permit, a literary script was not required, only a synopsis of a story of no less than 1,000 words was required.

Only literary scripts that involve diplomacy, ethnicity, religion, military, public security, justice, historical celebrities, cultural celebrities, etc. need to be submitted for further review.

Starting in 2005, documents were also issued to cancel the censorship of general movie scripts and just send a synopsis.

But is there any movie that doesn't involve these things at all?

What are the general themes?

Wang Xiaoshuai once said bluntly that ordinary and extraordinary are mainly divided by people. Some people take pictures of the same subject matter, and others take pictures of unusual subjects.

It is also widely rumored in the industry that Optoelectronics has a gray list, and all directors on this list must be strictly reviewed no matter what type of film they make.

Therefore, in order to avoid being asked to send the script for review again, most people simply send the literary script directly.

In many cases, literary scripts will be different from the original scripts and will be appropriately deleted and modified to pass the review.

You can shoot whatever you want, and when it's edited into a film later, if you can blend it in, you can blend it in, and if you can't, you can delete it.

Li Qian also honestly sent a literary script to him, and the superiors took the initiative to ask him for it again.

There is no need to worry about photovoltaic leakage, as I have never heard of such a thing.

However, sometimes Optoelectronics will release a batch of rejected scripts to show directors and screenwriters in the industry what they should not write.

Two days ago, Li Qian read the outlines of more than a dozen scripts that were circulated. He was so speechless that he almost wanted to laugh.

There is a script "Two and a Half" written by Zhang Cheng, the screenwriter of "Crazy Stone". The approximate content is:

In the black ring competition, the male protagonist was kicked out of an ancestral bag by his opponent, and was instigated by another person to take revenge.

The opponent's ancestral bag was accidentally damaged by his girlfriend. The hero and his men continued to plot against the opponent's other ancestral bag, but by some strange combination of circumstances, the man who instigated his revenge was castrated.

This screenwriter probably got the inspiration from watching "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", but what the hell is this thing about?

Of course, there are also some that are more funny, such as "Looking for Fortune": In order to prevent the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the male protagonist invented a time shuttle, returned to the Qin Dynasty, and hunted down Xu Fu (because Xu Fu traveled eastward to Neon, there were Neon descendants)

).

However, the surprise is that he himself is Xu Fu!

In "Looking for Qin", the protagonist gave birth to Xiang Yu, and he directly became Xu Fu.

It would be a pity not to write about this idea.

There are many very funny scripts, of course, the most realistic ones, such as a college student who was trafficked by her boyfriend to a mountainous countryside. The police rushed to rescue her and saw her teaching her children to read with a big belly.

The girl did not want to go home. After the police urged her to come back, she decided to give birth to the child.

The village chief came to find her and said that there was a shortage of teachers in the village. After an ideological struggle, she returned to the village and became a private teacher.

This kind of plot is not uncommon. Many domestic directors, screenwriters, brains, and butts have problems, and their outlook on life is too crooked.

Optoelectronics also filters out a large number of bad movies for the audience every year, so as not to pollute the eyeballs but also pollute the soul.

From Optoelectronics, the media could only learn the registered film title, screenwriter, and film type, but they also knew nothing else.

However, the title "Moon" is so strange that various media outlets have used their imaginations and made various speculations.

"According to the exact information filed by Optoelectronics, it has been confirmed that the title of the new film directed by Li Qian is "Moon". When you see this name, will you be confused like me?

That's right, this movie name couldn't be simpler. If I didn't tell who the director was, I would even think it was a popular science film and documentary about the moon.

Although the titles of Li Qian's three previous movies, "Phone Booth", "Jaws", and "Frequency of Life and Death" are quite different, at least they are much easier to understand than "Moon".

However, based on the registered science fiction genre, we can basically confirm that this is a science fiction film related to the moon.

Telling about astronauts landing on the moon?

The end of the world is coming and the moon hits the earth?

The moon is hit by a meteorite, do people on earth save the moon?

The earth is about to be destroyed, will we immigrate to the moon?

Unknown creatures were discovered on the moon, are aliens invading?”

...

Fully divergent thinking, make a few random guesses.

The audience is also interested in the inexplicable title "Moon". After all, as a commercial film director, it is impossible for Li Qian to make a popular science film or documentary about the moon.

""Moon"??? What the hell is this name!"

"I'll go, are you sure I didn't write a typo, or did you miss something?"

"Can Li Qian be more serious about the title of the film? It's becoming more and more casual."

"Looking at this title, science fiction films are no longer around. Finally, a director in China is making a real science fiction film!"

"It's bullshit science fiction film. Can we still make a real science fiction film with the domestic technology?"

"That's nonsense. It must be the same as "Frequency of Life and Death". It has a few science fiction elements, but it's just covered in a science fiction skin."

"This time I think it should be a real science fiction film. After all, it's called "Moon"."

"When I heard the name "Moon", I wasn't very interested, but if it's really a science fiction film, I'm still looking forward to it!"

...

Although the title "Moon" is very boring at first glance, most viewers will not include it in the selection range when they enter the cinema and directly filter it out.

However, "Moon" + science fiction genre, plus the director is a commercial director with a box office of over 100 million, it can attract people.

Ordinary Chinese-language movies add a science fiction genre, and you don’t need to watch them to know that they only have a few science fiction elements at most.

But science fiction and the title "Moon" make it worth pondering.

Many viewers are looking forward to this being a truly domestic science fiction movie, rather than trying to sell something like a sheep over someone else's head.

However, there are also many viewers who don't believe it. After all, the domestic special effects level, creative concept, team level... and other aspects are completely blank in science fiction films.

Insiders, who know far more about the film industry than the audience, are basically skeptical.

And as film practitioners, they understand the difficulty of making domestic science fiction films.

However, within a few days, with the release of "The King of Kung Fu", all entertainment news had to give way.

Li Lianjie and Cheng Long, two kung fu superstars, share the stage. As soon as the movie was released, it ignited the somewhat deserted mainland film market.

The box office on the first day was 16 million, surpassing "Assembly", which won the annual Chinese film box office championship last year.

On Saturday, the third day of release, it even earned a staggering 25 million in a single day.

80 million in four days, this first week's box office is not even worse than last year's annual box office champion "Transformers" with 97 million in five days.

This is still in April, and it’s not yet the May Day holiday, so the schedule is far inferior to the summer schedule.

Even in North America, the box office on the first day was as high as 8 million U.S. dollars, and it took in 21 million U.S. dollars in the first three days of the weekend.

A global hit.

Although the domestic reputation is average, with the appeal of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie in the European and American DVD markets, profitability is no problem.

However, Liu Yufei has signed a contract with Hollywood agency William Morris, which exceeded everyone's expectations.

In the past year, it was basically a certainty that Liu Yufei would join Huayang. Liu Yufei even attended the annual meeting of Huayang Media last year. Unexpectedly, she signed a contract with a Hollywood agency, which was surprising.

It is said that Huang Zhongjun was very angry and prepared to block her completely.

Anyone who has done this will be unhappy.

Entertainment news is abuzz, and Li Qian is extremely busy.

Time came to May, and the remaining storyboards for "Moon" were completed with the assistance of the photographer and art director.

The scripts, literary scripts, storyboards, storyboards, and screenplays for photoelectric review were all completed, the review results came out, and the filming permit was obtained.

Huang Bo also occasionally comes to the studio to discuss the characters.

In addition, Li Qian's main focus is on the studio.

Another week passed, several studios inside the lunar base were completed, and construction of the studios on the lunar surface also started.

Of course, some of the equipment and props are just a stand for shooting.

In the later stage, CG special effects will be done, and then through continuous rendering, it can meet the requirements of the big screen.

On May 7, after more than three months of preparation, the filming of "Moon" is finally about to begin.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the crew arrived at the Huairou Film and Television Base. Li Qian and Huang Bo came to the Yitian Movie Garden Hotel, the only five-star hotel next to the base, to attend the film's launch conference.

Generally speaking, large-scale productions require at least four or five press conferences before starting production, and each press conference is louder than the last.

Li Qian doesn't want to go into trouble, and his funds are limited, so he can't compete with blockbusters. There's no use in promoting it now, just holding a launch conference is enough.

After chatting with Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao for a while, they went directly into the conference hall without making any more small talk.

"Kacha... Kacha... Kacha..."

As soon as we entered, the shutter sounds of various cameras sounded simultaneously inside.

Li Qian's new movie has attracted much attention, and the reporters present are gearing up to ask some key questions.

However, when Wang Changtian, Li Qian, and Huang Bo came to power, everyone was confused.

Where else is there?

Many reporters craned their necks and looked at the entrance of the conference hall.

However, a few seconds passed, my neck felt a little sore, and I still didn't see anyone coming in.

What happened? The actors were late for the launch conference?

Regarding the cast, Li Qian has not announced it, and Optoelectronics does not need this for registration.

There are no other actors, so even if they want to leak the secret, they can't.

Although they didn't know what was going on, the reporters were patiently waiting for host Xie Chan to announce that the press conference for the movie "Moon" had officially begun.

Wang Changtian said a few words briefly and gave up the venue to Li Qian. After all, he was the protagonist today.

"Thank you all friends from the media for coming to the launch conference of the movie "Moon". This is also my second big screen work."

"The last "Frequency of Life and Death" was also launched under everyone's witness, and finally had a satisfactory ending. I hope that this movie can also be successfully launched, filmed and released smoothly under everyone's witness."

Li Qian smiled, "There have been some speculations about the movie "Moon" before, but now I can tell you that this is a science fiction movie, a real science fiction movie!"

????

what's the situation!

Why did you take the initiative to say it before I even asked.

Have you learned how to answer questions?

The reporters at the scene were a little confused as to why Li Qian didn't follow the routine.

In every previous interview, I would often stop talking no matter what I asked you halfway through, and the reporter would have to help fill in the rest, which wasted a lot of brain cells.

Fortunately, now, Li Qian took the initiative to speak out without waiting for them to ask questions.

When things go wrong, there must be a monster. I guess this is another type of movie disguised as science fiction.

Li Qian couldn't wait to say it was a science fiction film, but actually he was just using them to hype it up!

Yes, it must be so!
