My artist wants to quit the entertainment industry every day

Chapter 176 On the eve of the release, Old Zhao's Ambition
"Gouyan Professional Edition shows that over a million people want to watch it!"

"Farewell My Concubine is the first choice of 40% of the audience for the National Day file!"

"The users who want to watch "Farewell My Concubine" account for more than 10% of the other live-action films!"

"Pre-sales plus screenings, "Farewell My Concubine" box office has already reached 1 million!"

"With a high reputation for both art and business, "Farewell My Concubine" may be Chen Wuji's only profitable movie in recent years!"

"Can the law of delay and surplus be staged again?"

"As a popular movie on National Day, can the combination of "Farewell My Concubine" Chen Wuji x Chi Yu stand out?"

As the National Day draws closer, there will be more and more publicity about "Farewell My Concubine" and the sound of running water.

At the same time, there are more and more negative and trolling voices.

"It's just a movie about a guy! What's so interesting about it!"

"Fuck! Shouldn't this kind of direct filming of movies from that era be banned?"

"Men and men are too disgusting!"

"Sexual hints throughout! The cutting of the fingers at the beginning is clearly implying castration!"

"Insistence on art? It's clearly the behavior of traitors!"

"What year is it? Some people still believe that art has no national boundaries? It's so naive! Don't you know that artists have backbone?!"

"Think about Mr. Mei. He has a beard to show his ambition and refuses to perform in an island country. This is a national righteous man with real backbone!"

"I see, from the original book to the script to the director to the actors, this movie doesn't sit up straight!"

The sound began to develop in a bad direction.

If it is not handled properly, the film and the entire crew of "Farewell My Concubine" will be at risk of collapse.

"I don't know why some people talk about politics. To be honest, this movie just truthfully tells the ups and downs of two Peking opera artists in half a century."

Facing the reporter's interview, Chen Wuji said helplessly: "Have you watched the part where Duan Xiaolou was interrogated? He was forced to make a fuss, so he could only admit that it was all drama, not real."

"All, Director Chen, what you want to say is that this movie doesn't represent your true thoughts?"

"I want to say, look at Duan Xiaolou, he has skills, and he is used to accepting what he sees; he wants righteousness, but he doesn't want to sacrifice too much; he wants to stand out, but he has to live his life in troubled times."

Chen Wuji said, very helpless: "Different from Cheng Dieyi, Cheng Dieyi is an opera lunatic who just wants to sing. But when Duan Xiaolou is an ordinary person who just wants to live, the world doesn't even care about a useless and worthless man like him. The harmed people are almost too much to tolerate."

"But compared to Mr. Mei's growing a beard to show his ambition, Cheng Dieyi's singing to the invaders is clearly a matter of position."

"A question of position?"

Chen Wuji sneered and said: "Cheng Dieyi is a person who cares about life and death just to sing operas. His idea is only to sing operas and promote Beijing operas. As for your position, he is only singing operas, so he can be a traitor? He has worked for the invaders." ?”

It doesn't seem to have.

The whole process was just a play.

"Cheng Dieyi is not the kind of person who cherishes his reputation. He does not live by Beijing opera, but by Beijing opera. As for the important affairs of his family and country, he died without understanding."

Chen Wuji said: "In the movie, Duan Xiaolou has integrity. He sticks to the bottom line, defends the dignity of the nation, and resolutely refuses to act for the invaders."

"So, the movie just shows the choices of different people in different historical periods. It doesn't make an evaluation."

A reporter asked Chi Yu: "The song Chi Ling you sang earlier told the story of a patriotic actor. Compared with it, is Cheng Dieyi too cowardly?! Also, does Cheng Dieyi believe that the so-called Artists without borders?"

"First of all, Chi Ling made up a story, it cannot be taken seriously."

Chi Yu shook his head and said: "But is Cheng Dieyi really cowardly? If he is cowardly, it is also determined by his background. At first he forced a man to be a woman, and later he became attached to the overlord. He could save Duan Xiaolou by singing a play. Just go and sing."

"Besides, why did he sing "A Dream in the Garden"?"

"It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming everywhere, and they are all ruined like this. At that time, isn't it just that the beautiful scenery on a good day has turned into a ruined well?"

"He is cowardly, so he just used the show to complain, you guys have destroyed too many things here."

"As for Duan Xiaolou saying that he is a traitor and a traitor. When he learned that he was not ashamed of himself, he became even more annoyed."

"To be honest, I don't support Cheng Dieyi's act of singing for the invaders."

"But everyone who has watched the movie knows that Cheng Dieyi is an actor who is very obsessed with Beijing opera. His obsession with Beijing opera has reached the point where he can't tell the difference."

"Such a person is a treasure house for the development of Beijing opera; but for society, he may not be a good screw; for friends, he may not be a good friend."

"He's going to be special and he can be a lot of trouble at times."

"It's like some rare mutant species we saw when we bought pets. Their life is erratic. When everyone pursues them, their value is high; when everyone abandons them, they will be It's going to hit rock bottom right now."

"Cheng Dieyi is doomed to live a normal life regardless of other people's plays. In his world, there are only his senior brother, his Peking Opera, and his beliefs."

"As for what you said, does Cheng Dieyi agree that culture has no borders?"

Chi Yu shook his head and said: "I don't think so. Cheng Dieyi is not yet at that level. His idea is very simple. He just hopes that his beliefs can become the beliefs of others. He only has the stage in his eyes, and even said, In his life, he only lived two words, Overlord, or three words, Duan Xiaolou."

After that, the question of whether the buttocks in "Farewell My Concubine" were straight or not was gradually suppressed.

Because from the beginning to the end, Cheng Dieyi just sang a hall.

And there is also the factor of being forced.

This became the reason for the attack, so it was too brainless, and even sprayed for the sake of spraying.

However, because of these critical voices, the ratings of "Farewell My Concubine" on some petals and Gouyan have dropped a little-of course, it may also be caused by more people scoring.

September 9, the day before the movie was officially released.

"Farewell My Concubine" scored 9.6 points in a neat and unanimous manner, with a certain petal and a dog's eye evaluation!
A figure that is easy to imagine.

And on this day, the pre-sales and screening box office of "Farewell My Concubine" have reached 2 million!

"According to this trend, with the current word-of-mouth and popularity of "Farewell My Concubine", there is definitely no problem with the film's return."

At home in Beijing, Su Aifei said.

The production cost of "Farewell My Concubine" was less than 3 million - this figure was claimed by Chen Wuji, but it was not too much.

In this movie, Chi Yu's salary is not low, and has already reached the standard of a first-line actor.

However, only paychecks.

Su Aifei also said: "Three times the cost will be paid back. Seeing the audience's thirst for good movies, although the box office of "Farewell My Concubine" cannot be compared with "The Wandering Earth", it is sure to make a lot of money."

"The box office may only decide how big a red envelope Director Chen will give me in the end."

Chi Yu smiled and said, "I'm thinking what I want to know the most is, how far is Lao Zhao's preparation for "The Martian"?"

……

Qin Island.

Lao Zhao also put the filming location of "The Martian" here.

Because of "The Wandering Earth", many domestic sci-fi movies are now either filmed here or learned from here.

Old Zhao, who had been on the set for several days in a row, had become thin like a bolt of lightning.

"Old Huang, it's still troublesome to wear these clothes? It's been so long since "The Wandering Earth", hasn't our technology improved much?"

To the butler of the crew, the producer sent by the company, a middle-aged man in his 30s, Lao Zhao complained about the important props of "The Martian", a set of space suits used in space.

Old Huang, formerly known as Huang Jiujian, has no missing front teeth, and is a very delicate middle-aged man.

Regarding Lao Zhao's complaints, he said helplessly: "We made it ourselves. Although we have the guidance of the aerospace department, we want to make a space suit that makes the audience fall in love with space at a glance, and it is also light and easy to use. so easy!"

"Well, it's really a bit of a tradeoff."

After trying on the clothes, Lao Zhao took them off with the help of the staff, and said, "Fortunately, our spacesuit is much lighter than the abnormally heavy exoskeleton in "The Wandering Earth."

"Well, it's indeed a lot lighter. And, it's really handsome." Huang Jiujian said.

"Haha! To make a movie, and it's a sci-fi one, you always have to pursue it a little bit ahead of time." Lao Zhao felt that after watching it for a long time, if he lowered his standards a little, the space suit in front of him is indeed very beautiful.

Huang Jiujian glanced at the words on the spacesuit, and asked, "Old Zhao, all the characters in our spacesuit, expedition vehicle, spaceship, and space station are Chinese characters, isn't it unreasonable?"

"Unreasonable, where is it unreasonable?" Lao Zhao asked back.

"Usually, the common ones are all in English..." Huang Jiujian said.

"You also said that it is universal. But in the movie, we are all China's aerospace force, the space station is ours, the flying sky is ours, and Mars is also our colonial occupation. Why do we still use English?" When Lao Zhao said this, his expression was taken for granted.

Huang Jiujian froze for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, what you said is correct."

However, he continued, "However, what do you say about colonization and occupation? Don't say it in the future. If the media hears it, maybe something wrong will happen."

"It was originally, well, I won't say it."

Old Zhao shrugged, when the intercom rang: "Director Zhao, the remodeled rescue engineering vehicle is already in place, would you like to come over and take a look?"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Lao Zhao became excited when he heard that, and patted Huang Jiujian: "Come on, Lao Ye has already finished the expedition vehicle, let's go and have a look."

"Then we have to see, I wonder what kind of expedition vehicle Ye Gong will transform into?"

Huang Jiujian thought of the first version of the car that Ye Gong made before. It was simply too ugly, and it was basically unusable on complex terrain. It was directly sprayed into a pile of garbage by Lao Zhao.

In fact, Ye Gong couldn't be completely blamed for this.

After all, he is a vehicle engineer, not a Mars exploration vehicle engineer, and Lao Zhao just asked someone to make one, and he didn't even have a concept draft at the beginning.

Fortunately, when Ye Gong went back to make changes, he gave a conceptual design draft of the expedition vehicle.

As for whether it is reasonable or not, professional engineers like Ye Gong need to make a second design on the basis of the conceptual design draft.

When the two arrived at the place, they saw at a glance the giant expedition vehicle that lived in the open space in the middle.

Is, kind of like a shape-shifting, trailer?
"Ye Gong, he looks really handsome from the front, but the back is a bit casual, isn't it?" Old Zhao circled the expedition vehicle twice, his eyes lit up, and finally he still asked a question.

"The current expedition vehicle is designed according to the agricultural vehicle. It is universal for all terrains. It has all-wheel steering and all-wheel suspension. It does not use traditional axles. The current wheels can move up and down independently according to different terrains. to internal driving balance..."

Ye Gong explained the design of the vehicle, and then explained the back: "As for the back, didn't you still drag the solar panels in your movie?"

"That's the truth."

Old Zhao shook his head and said, "But the super expedition vehicle at the back was transformed from two expedition vehicles. So, you still need to make a smaller expedition vehicle before the transformation."

Ye Gong nodded: "That's no problem."

At this moment, Lao Zhao felt itchy, so he asked, "Can this car be driven now? Where can I get in?"

"It can be driven completely. We have already tested it on complex terrain. To be honest, if you want to mass-produce it, as long as it passes the test, there is no problem." Ye Gong joked.

"Speaking of mass production."

Lao Zhao suddenly had a brain hole and asked, "Do you still need a license plate number to drive this kind of car on Mars?"

"..." Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

"Probably, you don't need it?"

Huang Jiujian thought about it seriously, and analyzed: "Because there is no vehicle management office, no traffic commission, and no roads on Mars, who will show you your license plate?"

Old Zhao thought this was very interesting, so he said, "What if we set this precedent? In this way, the license plate number starts with the character "Huo", followed by M, and then numbered with 001!"

"..." Everyone thought that Old Zhao was probably sick.

Huang Jiujian followed his train of thought: "Yes. After all, we have never done this before. Now we are on Mars in a decent way, so the rules will follow ours."

"Domineering!" Ye Gong said speechlessly.

At this time, Lao Zhao finally found out how the car door was opened, climbed in, started the car, and drove around in the sand-filled studio.

"Not bad! Very stable and powerful!"

Old Zhao jumped out of the car, very satisfied, and then asked a little question: "It's just that it's a bit troublesome to get in the car."

Ye Gong wanted to say, that is because you are too short.

Then I thought about it, it seems that the height standard for astronauts.

Well, the current standard height of an astronaut is 1 meters, so it's not as low as Lao Zhao.

"Okay, I will improve on this point."

Although he complained in his heart, as Party B, Ye Gong still remembered this "shortcoming".

Lao Zhao added: "The current feeling is still too plastic. Although the materials used on Mars are not necessarily metal, I think it should be tougher, so that the sense of science fiction will be strong."

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the material on the front of the car.

As a result, when I pressed it, I pressed a pit.

"That's a bit too much."

Old Zhao emphasized: "Our expedition vehicle is going to be driven on Mars. When you hit a hole at that time, the audience won't be able to laugh when they see it?"

"It's just, if it's too heavy, will it be?"

"Not at all. Ye Gong, you have to know that the weight of objects on the earth will be reduced by more than half if placed on Mars." Old Zhao said.

The surface gravity of Mars is less than four-tenths that of Earth.

So after arriving on Mars, although the mass of the object will not change, but the change of gravity will change the weight.

"Row."

Ye Gong wrote down Lao Zhao's questions in his notebook, not many, basically minor changes, and then asked: "Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

"By the way, the art team has rendered a set of models of the expedition vehicle, including before and after the transformation. I will send it to you later. Try to rely on the renderings in terms of appearance. Of course, it must be as reasonable as possible. .”

"Well, that's fine."

It is relatively simple to change the shape of a car after the basic structure such as the base is completed.

"Then trouble Ye Gong, our film will start training after the National Day, so the actors will have to learn how to drive."

"It's okay, I'll change the car soon."

Can you hurry up?

The money is in place, and everything will be done quickly.

After Ye Gong and his party left, Lao Zhao went to see the Mars Habitat which was under construction.

This habitat is very important. In "The Martian", Lu Zhou will spend a lot of time here. It is his home away from the earth.

Here, in addition to the necessary facilities such as bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and workshops, there are also gyms, entertainment rooms, medical rooms, and spaces for growing crops.

Of course, the original design was definitely not for Lu Zhou to turn the inside into a farmland and plant potatoes on a large scale.

However, for the transformation in the later film, it is necessary to reserve space in advance.

Lao Zhao went in to have a look, and the interior space was basically three-quarters completed.

This habitation module uses a lot of aerospace materials.

The support of the aerospace department is still very strong. Except for some technologies that cannot be announced, most of the internationally common technologies can be used here, and even shown in movies.

"How is it? Does it look okay now?" Luo Nan was also there, and he is now the technical director of "The Martian".

Including props, including theories, without Luo Nan, even if there is a novel, Lao Zhao will have to catch him blind.

"Well, it has exceeded my expectations." Old Zhao said with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, although they are making movie props, the leader means that this should be regarded as a real scientific experiment."

"A real science experiment?"

When Old Zhao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Our country is not thinking now, does it really plan to land on Mars?"

Luo Nan smiled, but did not speak.

If you don't speak, it means it's a state secret.

Since it is a state machine, it means...

"We want to make the hardest sci-fi movie! It's even harder than The Wandering Earth and Interstellar! These two movies have a higher fantasy element."

Old Zhao patted the inner wall of the living cabin, and said confidently: "And our movie, let people watch it, and feel that this is a very likely thing to happen!"

……

"impossible!"

In Beijing, when the box office of "Farewell My Concubine" was released on the first day, some media were dumbfounded: "This is absolutely impossible!"
