I want to work hard too!

Chapter 989
Zhao Mingyang asked Ning Dongsheng to meet with several young directors. These directors are all new directors, but they are not new to filming, but have never been the chief director, and they have never filmed the film that they are the chief director of. One is a big online movie, and he has been on the set for many years, and has never been popular.

It's just that no one is willing to let them make theater films. When Zhao Mingyang found this group of people, he said that he wanted to make a big production, hard science fiction. In fact, these directors knew what Zhao Mingyang was going to do better than anyone else.

After all, it’s not a day or two to be in this circle. Finding a director with little work and no reputation for a big production and big movie is nothing more than wanting to save costs. It is easy to shoot.

And the cost of sci-fi movies is really hard to say how much, there is no upper limit, because this mainly depends on post-production, and there are only a few such companies in the world, and those are the most expensive and professional, but you can Register a new post-production company, and outsource it to some small companies in the later stage. Anyway, just make a sci-fi special effect out of miscellaneous things, commonly known as five-cent special effects.

And this cost is directly calculated according to the world's top companies. For the sake of looking good, can you cooperate with the world's top companies and ask them to help make a few props, and then say that the world's top production companies will be invited to participate.

This type of investment is basically [-] million or [-] million yuan first, and the company over there just walks away with the account and counts it directly as operating income.

The few directors that Zhao Mingyang found have a common feature, that is, they can write scripts, and the things produced by such directors can completely restore the integrity of the work.
These people actually thought about what Zhao Mingyang was going to do in their minds, but Zhao Mingyang was a bit too big, the production cost of a drama would be five or six billion?
What's going on here? The director is worried, and the producer is even more worried. I can only think about how to deal with this.

However, this kind of film is easy to get a high salary. After helping the filming, take the money and leave, and the other party will not put too much pressure on the director, just shoot it.

But Zhao Mingyang completely stunned them in the next second. Zhao Mingyang actually wanted to give a group of them the outline of the script and let them create it.

This is the biggest taboo. If investors get involved in writing the script, it can only be said to be a bad film among bad films. Is there even money left over to buy the copyright of a script?

This is a bit too picky, and the eating looks too ugly.

Moreover, generally this kind of investors think that their literary talent is better than that of literary masters, and it is easy to write that they are moved by themselves, and the filming is not right.

What kind of deception is the most brilliant, you must first deceive yourself before you can deceive others.

Zhao Mingyang got up and took a manuscript and said: "I have had a movie dream since I was a child. I usually like to write some scripts when I have nothing to do. Of course, I still have self-awareness. If I don't have a decent script, I won't find it." You come to shoot, I just want to prove to the world that we can also make good science fiction movies in China.

You are all carefully selected by me. I have seen the fire of hope beyond professionalism and the heart of dreams in your career. I know that you want to make good movies. Dreams come in, who wants to make bad movies, right?

But the current market environment is too impetuous, and all kinds of bad movies are popular. To put it bluntly, I resolutely denounce this practice in order to make quick money and take money. I think this is disrupting the market and sorry for the audience, so I firmly resist this. kind of chaos. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Didn't he just want to pay?
Is it really for making a good work?The mentality of all the directors changed in an instant, but it was a headache again. It seems that the money is not easy to get. He won't participate in the whole process, right?That's terrible, the shooting cycle in March can be changed to three years.

Zhao Mingyang looked at them and continued: "What is sci-fi? We need to combine tradition and technology. For example, for some scenes, we make them into real scenes, so as to have a sense of picture. The audience is not a fool. It's too fake, it's fake at first glance, we have to make it real.

But in terms of special effects, we must also pursue top-notch production and invite top international production companies to participate.

Many people divide sci-fi into soft sci-fi and hard sci-fi, which is easy to understand. Audiences know that soft sci-fi pays more attention to content and lower shooting costs, while hard sci-fi pays more attention to pictures. Why can’t they be combined because of high shooting costs?
And sci-fi, we want to create our own sci-fi. If you look at the sci-fi filmed by foreigners, the content is just that, but what if we film our culture?To shoot a series, it is not an exaggeration to shoot more than a dozen films with our 5000-year cultural heritage.

This manuscript was polished by me for ten years, and I revised it repeatedly. I can’t say how good it is, but my content is not bloody, and I added our traditional culture, as well as sci-fi elements, super sci-fi elements, Brain hole, I'm not bragging, I have been honing my sword for ten years, and the work still has some content, but my ability is limited, so I hope you can help me complete a whole story.

I just put forward an idea, just put your name on it, I really don’t care about this, and I will not interfere with your shooting, professional things are left to professional people, I still know this, I just want to contribute to Chinese Movies do what they can.

Whenever I see current audiences supporting foreign sci-fi films and belittling our own films, I feel heartbroken. It’s those crooked people who have harmed our film and television drama industry.

I did this drama with the aim of not making money. If the first one doesn't make money, I will shoot the second one. Until Zhao Mingyang goes bankrupt, I also want to let this industry have a glimmer of hope for survival, and leave it to everyone. Future Chinese-speaking filmmakers are in a pure land. Our efforts today may save them many detours in the future.

Although our addition may be just a drop in the ocean, if we don’t do it and try, we will not be qualified to criticize those people who screwed up the market in the future. What is the difference between us and them?
Someone has to stand up, why not you and me, as long as we have a glimmer of hope, we have to try it out, do you dare to bet with me?

Don't forget, the first day you step into this industry is definitely for the better of this market and to shoot great works.So what are you hesitating about? "

Zhao Mingyang's speech instantly ignited the young directors present. Sure enough, young people are most likely to be impulsive and moved, so young people are easy to boast and be used as guns.

Everyone is eager to see what Zhao Mingyang is writing. What Zhao Mingyang wants is their devotion to others. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Zhao Mingyang not to be watched by others at a glance. If you can see it, then the work must have dealt with it. The audience will have to make various guesses after seeing it.

To do things without leaking, this is a master, Zhao Mingyang will tell them that the real scene is to go to Africa and spend hundreds of millions to build ruins?Anyway, believe it or not, this waste really cost hundreds of millions, ten thousand per shovel.

Zhao Mingyang will not let people say that the international production team he is looking for is a lie. He is going to really set up a film special effects company, and he is going to hire a group of technicians at a high price. The technical team, and then this team will be the output point in the future, and the days will be long in the future, and it is impossible to just one.

Why do cashiers like the movie side?Three to five billion yuan may not be used up in three to five months for whatever you do, but it’s okay to make a movie. The film cycle is short, and the money is spent after two or three months of shooting, and editing is a waste of time in the later stage. It is divided out, how much it is is not easy to check, because the film involves a lot of technology and art, and there is no price limit for technology and art.

In short, spend money so that people can't see it, not what you want to do at a glance.

After Zhao Mingyang was reborn, he knew very well that the audience's glasses are discerning, and he can't make it too fake. If he wants to make people feel that he has tried his best, he just didn't shoot it well, and it's not just for cash, so he can't make this a film. A fake movie.

If you build a ruin in Africa, you must have a picture-like premise to add a story, otherwise a ruin that costs hundreds of millions of dollars without a story, wouldn’t it be too fake?

Zhao Mingyang's only preparation for special effects was placed in the opening and promotional film, and then a lot of special effects were added to the trailer of the second film after the first film was filmed.

No, Zhao Mingyang showed his manuscript to everyone.

The people present saw that this line of thinking was really interesting, but, how did it start with Pangu?
Most of the myths on the market today start from Nuwa, and most of them start from the list of gods. The one Zhao Mingyang gave is really interesting. His one has nothing to do with mythology, but it has mythological elements. It is very possible to have a brain. .

But it’s a bit confusing, because if you say this thing is a myth, it’s not at all. If you say it’s science fiction, it’s really science fiction, but the story line is too long. How many films will you take?

According to Zhao Mingyang's idea, there are ten episodes of this thing that can't be finished, and Zhao Mingyang asked one or two of them to be in charge of one episode, and start filming at the same time.

The general content of the script is as follows, which is a simple introduction to the background of the story:
"If I tell you that the world is a cycle, would you believe it? The cycle I'm talking about is not the cycle you think."

"Pangu opened the world. Is there a possibility that a cyclical world was opened. The earth is originally a highly technological and civilized society, and human technology has surpassed the present in the past. For example, the intelligent biological robot Qinglong Baihu Xuanwu Suzaku was called by later people. Mythical beasts, they are nothing but intelligent biological robots."

"Uncontrolled robots like Taotie are called symbols of evil by later generations, and these robots were originally developed by humans on this planet.

Originally, the human beings on this week were called ancestors [immortals]. There was a war between the ancestors and uncontrolled robots with independent thinking. The uncontrolled robots wanted to rule humans and rule the earth. These robots are not traditional Robots, they always have a bionic body, built-in a powerful AI algorithm chip, stored in the brain-computer interface.

They have evolved into another intelligent biological form. They want to become the masters of this planet, so some uncontrolled robots fought fiercely with humans. In the end, humans won a tragic victory and took a spaceship to live on Mars. Because the earth What is destroyed can no longer live.

However, the same problem happened on Mars. The technology is too developed, and finally it is a cycle. Human beings keep choosing new living environments. They want to escape this fate. The earth has no ecological environment before. Humans try to find ways It is necessary to repair it, because human beings find that there is nothing in the universe that is more suitable for human habitation than the earth, because human beings find that the earth can repair itself, and no other planets can. "

"But there are still robots that have not been eliminated on the earth. They are rising. Humans want to come back, and they are even more afraid of these robots launching interstellar pursuits. Therefore, humans have cultivated more powerful biological robots to fight against intelligent robots."

"Humans dropped dinosaur eggs precisely on Mars. The factory settings of the dinosaur's intelligence system are not high, and there is no self-learning function. There is only one function, which is to eliminate all creatures that are not of the same kind on the earth."

"Dinosaurs were very powerful and quickly wiped out intelligent creatures, but their power brought about uncontrollable, absolute violence to destroy everything, even the earth, and not all intelligent robots on earth Those who hate humans, such as the unicorn Suzaku."

"They are actively communicating with humans and feeding back information. In the end, humans on Mars developed another uncontrollable creature because of powerful technology. It can be said that they made mistakes repeatedly, and humans had to choose a new place to live again. gone."

"The earth is the only planet that humans have discovered that can be repaired by themselves. This is where humans ultimately belong. However, dinosaurs are a problem. Humans have dropped a missile on the earth that can instantly destroy the ecology. The missile is code-named Pangu, and the earth can be repaired again. The dinosaurs just disappeared."

"Human beings think that powerful wisdom will lead to self-destruction sooner or later. Human beings are born with powerful wisdom. Everyone is a top scientist. In order to prevent human self-destruction, human beings decided to let a group of people cut off or hinder this innate function, so that Human beings start from scratch and have the same intelligence as animals."

"These human beings whose intelligence was sealed were brought to Earth by a group of intelligent robots code-named Nuwa in charge of this project. After returning to Earth, the ancestors asked Nuwa to tell humans some misleading information, that is, don't tell humans that there is science. , Don’t let human beings invent and believe in fairy tales, otherwise this is another endless loop.”

"The new history of mankind is unfolding, but the natural attributes cannot be completely obliterated. Human beings will still create and invent for thousands of years, but this technology is basically the state that the ancestors wanted most, just like the oldest telephone. The gap between landlines and the latest smart phones is best to stay permanently in the age of landlines and not evolve any further.”

"For thousands of years, a group of human beings have been on the earth, and a group of human beings have been searching for habitats in the universe. Finally, in the past hundred years, it seems that the seal of the descendants living on the earth has been lifted, and the high intelligence has been restored again, and it has been completed in an instant. Something that I never even thought about before.”

"In the end, later generations explored the universe again and studied intelligent creatures again. The only difference is that the ancestors in the universe did not want this to happen, and would have to start all over again. The most frightening thing is that these descendants did not want the The ancestors came back because the human beings on the earth have identified the human beings in the universe as aliens and dangerous existences."

"Human beings once again had conflicts with human beings. The ancestors in the universe have nowhere to go. The only place to live now is the earth, but the earth cannot accommodate such a huge group of people returning. More importantly, the right to speak , to whom?

Is it the heads of the various departments of humanity in the universe, or the leader of humanity on Earth? "

"It's all about to unfold, so stay tuned."

````````
A group of people looked at this script and got dizzy for a while, and their brains were fine, but how to shoot it?

The script is a bit too big to start with. Everything in the mythology can be combined with sci-fi, but how to shoot it is a problem.

Zhao Mingyang looked at them and said, "That's the way of thinking. Let me give you a way of thinking. In the first part, we will shoot Pangu and open up the world, everything will return to zero, and then how the Nuwa bio-robots will bring the weakened human beings back to the earth. From scratch, the conflicts between this group of humans and the creatures that survived on the earth, and the battle of wits and courage among the few intelligent biological robots that have not been completely wiped out.

In this one, we filmed the opening of Chinese civilization, and then in the second part, we filmed how the highly civilized human beings on this planet pushed themselves into desperation step by step. I have already thought about the third to sixth parts. Humans in the universe have developed a time machine. They want to go back to before humans entered the age of technology and kill the scientists who changed the world. Filming started from the period of the Four Great Inventions, and then modern people living on the earth discovered this secret. Go back and talk to The ancestors who came back from the universe fought desperately to prevent this catastrophe on the earth. If necessary, we can restore the buildings of some dynasties, and ask history majors to help us restore the costumes and props of these periods.

As for the seventh part, I have already thought it out for you, and I will film the crisis of human beings. It turns out that Nuwa robots are still on the earth. They were ordered to destroy the earth and start again. These robots have self-thinking and do not want to destroy the earth. The descendants of the earth fought side by side against the ancestors.

Let’s make these few films first, and we’ll think about them later, what do you think? "

The others looked confused, and they were rushing to shoot seven films, but what kind of shooting technique is this, after shooting, before shooting in the middle, and finally according to this, it is very possible to shoot the front again, infinite loop?

In addition, it basically shoots people fighting with each other, which doesn’t require any special effects, but it’s 100% a sci-fi movie, so it’s a bit vague. The production cost is high, right?It's quite expensive to get some robots. After all, we need to get dinosaurs, but it doesn't seem to cost much, and the pictures are still mostly characters.

What Zhao Mingyang wanted was this effect. The first movie cost hundreds of millions to create ruins, the second movie added some technology to get some special effects, and added more money. City, this is the fastest way to pay the bill, Zhao Mingyang means to shoot three movies a year.

The filming starts at the same time, everyone is in charge of one part, they act together, and finally hand it over to the editor, first edit the first part, and then edit slowly, anyway, he has to deal with the money quickly.

"Then is the actor using a big name or a newcomer?" someone asked.

"Daotian Entertainment has a ready-made, enough actors, one share per person, three films must be completed this year, it's that simple, we can't wait, Chinese movies can't wait, we have to act fast.

Directors, I believe you can do it, future filmmakers will thank you, and I thank you for them. "Zhao Mingyang bowed deeply to the person in front of him.

This bow is to increase their sense of mission and moral abduction, as good as it can be shot, it is best to be popular, if it is not popular, others will see that this is a bad movie.

The reason for making three films is to prevent others from saying that the purpose of this film is to get paid. After filming three films, no one will doubt it, and the money was spent at once, starting with more than a dozen or 20 billion.

This money can also increase the actor's value, which is a win-win situation for Zhao Mingyang.

"There is another question, does this movie have to be filmed abroad?"

"Must, the first part must go out. We must pursue the most primitive state. I have always been meticulous about art. I will let people decorate the venue first." Zhao Mingyang said seriously.

In the end, Ye Chuan was asked to register a construction company in Africa to undertake the project, and Gu Man was asked to register a post-production company and an art design company, mainly responsible for costume props and scene construction.

Shouldn't the money go out and be digested internally?
