Chapter 230 It's time to repay the money once a year again 【Add more】

"Chairman, I don't think this is the time to shoot Piao Miao's trip." A few days later, in Tang Ren's office, Li Guoli and Huang He had a heated debate.

"Why?" Huang He asked back.

"Because our technology is very immature, we can't afford to shoot the rafting trip at all!" Li Guoli said excitedly, "I have already read this novel briefly. Yes, the imagination of this novel is indeed very divergent. The world view is also extremely grand, and if it is filmed well, this will probably be the most grand mythological TV series in Chinese history."

"But you have to consider a problem, that is, we can't film the scenes in the novel at all."

"I did a rough calculation. In this misty journey, there are more than 30 planets with names and surnames. Among them are those planets with pure ice structure, and there are also planets that are all giant trees. Just to show For the scenes of these planets, we don’t know how much special effects costs will be invested and how many venues will be built.”

"That's not enough, the battle between the cultivators is even more crazy, there are thousands of demons at every turn, mobilizing the power of a planet, flying into the sky, hiding from the ground, omnipotent, and expressing the realm of cultivation, various magic circles, Magic weapon and so on, I think there will be flying boats that can soar in the universe, my chairman, do you know how much money we need to shoot these big scenes? The investment in this TV series is probably higher than that of the previous 10 TV series It's going to be crazy!" Li Guoli said excitedly.

"Oh!" Huang He nodded thoughtfully, and said, "But now there are many fairy tales, and we will soon be filming Legend of Sword and Fairy. Doesn't this need to consume a lot of special effects?"

"This is different. First of all, The Legend of Sword and Fairy is a small story that happened in ancient times. As long as the ancient architectural scenes are used to shoot, there will not be too much cost in setting up the scenes."

"As for the special effects, a few spells consume more special effects. In addition, there is Yujian flying. If you save money, you can make these special effects for about 100 million yuan. If you want to make them more refined, 500 million yuan will do. , if you want to reach the Hollywood level, it will only look like 1 million, these are things that can be done!"

"But Misty Journey is different. Among other things, I don't know how much it will cost just to set up the scene of Qianjiexing, because according to the description in the book, this is a world with a completely different climate and environment from the earth. , we can’t use the many film and television cities that already exist, we have to find a similar area on the earth, and then build the scene by ourselves, which may require tens of millions of expenses!”

"And in this novel, there is a battle every two or three chapters. The whole book is almost entirely supported by various battles. For each battle, different battle scenes must be designed and different special effects must be completed. In the end, the investment in this TV series may exceed hundreds of millions of yuan, which is simply crazy!" After Li Guoli finished speaking, he felt his tongue was about to burn, and took a sip of boiled water.

"Well, are you sure that 100 million yuan can make these special effects?" Huang He asked in surprise.

"Ah..." Li Guoli felt that there was something wrong with Huang He's question, and he sounded like he still wanted to shoot, so Li Guoli quickly said, "1 million yuan is just to complete the lowest-level special effects. In my eyes, it is really a fake special effect. If you want to shoot special effects that can at least be seen, it will cost at least more than [-] million!"

"Are you sure that [-] million can be photographed?" Huang He continued to ask.

"Ah... I said this is just passable special effects, but if you want to shoot a TV series like Misty Journey that is completely supported by special effects, once the special effects are fake, the audience will feel extremely unreal, so the TV series will lose money instead. lost all their money.”

"So the special effects must be top-notch, at least at the same level as the Star Wars in the United States. If this is the case, it may cost more than 10 billion yuan!" Li Guoli added fire to Huang He.

"I'm sure it can be shot at 10 billion!" Huang He looked at Li Guoli with piercing eyes. Li Guoli felt a little weak, so he said weakly, "It should be possible, after all, it is [-] billion."

"Okay, then I'll give you 10 billion!" Huang He slapped his thigh, "And for this 10 billion, you don't need to shoot the whole Piao Miao Journey, I only need to shoot the first 3 volumes of Piao Miao Journey, a total of about 75 chapters of the plot, A 12-episode first season of Misty Journey, that's always enough!"

"This is more than enough!" Li Guoli breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, "These first three volumes involve two planets in total, and one of them, Tianting Star, is basically our ancient Chinese world. You can shoot in the city, and even the costumes and props are ready-made."

"Then there is a black prison. Although it is on another completely different planet, fortunately the scene is limited to the black prison. We only need to build a prison scene, and the cost is about 1000 million. It will definitely be won. And The battles of the cultivators in the early stage are actually like that, not too exaggerated, and there are only 12 episodes in total, so I don’t need 10 billion, at most 5000 million, I can shoot it!” Li Guoli said, if this is the case , then he is still acceptable.

"No!" Unexpectedly, Huang He shook his head and said, "What can 5 million shoot? It's not the most trashy special effect. The red light in the left hand is the flame special effect, and the blue light in the right hand is the frost special effect. Are such special effects designed to fool the audience as fools?"

"But, our Chinese TV series are all filmed like this!" Li Guoli opened his mouth.

"Director Li, have you seen Lord of the Rings?" Huang He asked back.

"Of course I've seen this before!" Li Guoli nodded, "Okay, then, which worldview do you think is more magnificent and more beautiful than the worldview of Lord of the Rings and the worldview of Misty Journey?"

"Naturally, the world view of Piao Miao Journey is even bigger!" Li Guoli said without hesitation, "But this is only for the word Evergrande. Although the world view of Piao Miao Journey is large and spreads throughout the universe, it lacks details. .”

"On the contrary, the world of Lord of the Rings is very full of details. Although the main storyline is only a novel with hundreds of thousands of words, in order to enrich the entire Eastern Land, there are various surrounding setting collections with millions of words. "

"The author of the Lord of the Rings even designed a brand new language and corresponding text for Middle-earth, which is equivalent to forcibly creating a cultural system. This is a very magnificent and terrifying thing."

"It also describes the change of dynasties, and the misty journey just wrote "Qin Shihuang started the Qin Dynasty, and then it was ended by Liu Bang's Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was ended by Wang Mang's new dynasty. After that, Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty and created the Eastern Han Dynasty. 200 years later, the Eastern Han Dynasty collapsed and entered the era of the Three Kingdoms... Anyway, only two or three hundred characters are needed to write the entire history of China. "

"But the world of the Lord of the Rings is equivalent to creating a set of 24 histories. Of course, the world of the Lord of the Rings is far from being as rich as the 24 histories, but emperors, generals, famous officials, and anecdotes are all Yes, this is the huge gap between the two worldviews!"

"Yes, that's why the Lord of the Rings can affect the whole world!" Huang He couldn't help but nodded and said, "Director Li, I actually have an idea, that is, we Tang people have to create a magnificent worldview that can rival the Lord of the Rings, and The corresponding movie will come out!"

"This Piao Miao Journey, I still plan to shoot 6 movies in the future. I want to recommend the world of cultivating immortals and the universe of Piao Miao Journey to the whole world, so that people all over the world can understand our Chinese way of cultivating immortals. !"

"..." Li Guoli opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He felt that Huang He's idea was very great, but Huang He seemed to have gone crazy.

Huang He was not joking, because he combined his influence on Chinese culture in the world in the next 20 years, as well as the actual box office of various blockbuster movies, and he came up with the idea of ​​​​constructing the movie universe of Misty Journey.

Because Misty Journey is the most suitable film universe for Eastern culture.

As far as 2021 is concerned, the most famous movie universe in the world is the Marvel movie universe, the Star Wars universe, and under Marvel, there are DC, monsters, Lord of the Rings and so on.

These movie universes are very popular in all countries and regions around the world. People in these countries are familiar with the various tasks and plots in the movie universe.

What about China?
China is also promoting its own movie universe, which is the Fengshen movie universe, which can be seen from the movies of Nezha, Yang Jian, Sun Monkey, etc. all over the sky.

Can Fengshen Movie Universe succeed?

That is definitely no problem, but it is only limited to China, because apart from the Chinese, it is impossible for foreigners to understand the various Chinese cultural traditions contained in the Conferred Gods universe.

Although the Fengshen Movie Universe is the most Chinese culture, and some people say that what belongs to the nation belongs to the world, but this is completely bullshit. The more ethnic and ancient things are, the harder it is to integrate into the world.

Just like the Marvel Universe that everyone is talking about now, let me ask, does anyone know which world the myth of Thor belongs to?
It is estimated that many people will blurt out that this is a Greek myth, so it is very funny.

In fact, no one will really understand that the Marvel Universe can really be understood by everyone, because the Marvel Universe movies are rooted in modern cities, and most of the settings in it, such as technology, such as mutation, such as super AI Everything is a modern concept that can be understood by modern people.

Based on these basic concepts, adding Marvel's characteristic universe worldview, this can be easily understood.

But if you are filming the universe of gods, if you don't popularize all the characters of gods to foreign audiences, otherwise, just jumping out of a ball and Nezha will make countless people baffled.

It is not ruled out that some foreigners will delve into the plot, but most people will be disgusted.

But the universe of Misty Journey is different. Misty Journey is not practicing in the past, but starting from the modern age, and practicing from planet to planet. This is similar to the plot of Star Wars, and it can make foreign audiences It is easier to understand and accept the plot at the beginning.

Then add Chinese cultivation culture into it, so that the audience will slowly accept it bit by bit, and finally become a state full of curiosity about Chinese traditional culture.

The reason for the first movie after that was Iron Man, because Iron Man was transformed by technology, not Doctor Strange who suddenly popped up, and the Thanos from the other side of the universe. Many of these people feel completely inexplicable when they first see it. , without any accumulated roles.

After that, with the production of new works one by one a year, slowly, bit by bit, the setting of the entire Misty Journey universe finally accepted the Chinese culture of cultivating immortals unconsciously.
