Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 236 Can "The Wandering Earth" be made into a movie?

Liu Ju knows that Xu Nuo is a film director who pursues real shots.

It just never occurred to me.

It is not enough to shoot "Oppenheimer" with a real atomic bomb. This guy even plans to go to the moon to shoot a scene. I have to say that this guy is really "crazy".

But it's not incomprehensible for those who are engaged in film art to have crazy ideas.

The most important thing is that Xu Nuo really has that strength. As long as he thinks, he doesn't even need to ask the space agency. In the next few years, the Real Aerospace under their real group will be able to go to the moon with that strength. A series of activities, which naturally include shooting movies on the moon.

And if Real Aerospace and the space agency join forces, then only need to make sufficient preparations, and even Xu Nuo's "crazy idea" of going to the moon to shoot movies can be realized.

"Xiao Xu, when do you plan to go?"

Director Liu asked curiously.

If the space agency needs help, as long as the space agency has a window of time, then Xu Nuo must be supported.

In this way, the real group can also be brought in to strengthen cooperation with the space agency to increase the speed of development and construction of the moon.

"I probably won't shoot on the moon for my next movie, but you know, Bureau Liu, I'm good at shooting sci-fi commercial blockbusters, so it's inevitable that I will use the background of the moon and the scene on the moon's surface in the future, and if If it can be shot in real life, then the shocking feeling brought to the audience is far beyond the reach of special effects."

Xu Nuo did not give Liu Ju an accurate answer.

After all, the filming of his "Spider-Man" has not yet started. Although it is confirmed that the next film "The Wandering Earth" will be filmed, he does not know when he will be able to prepare and start filming, so Xu Nuo cannot give Liu Ju an accurate Time to answer.

In fact, what Xu Nuo just said was exaggerated.

That is to say, the moon scene made by special effects is definitely realistic enough with the current special effects production level of Real Special Effects Studio and Guan Ju, and it is far from the actual shot. What Xu Nuo said is an exaggeration.

But saying this is just to give Director Liu an "impression".

And the actual shot of the moon screen is definitely a huge attraction for a movie!
"I don't know much about movies, but the video images on the surface of the moon can really bring people a very real sense of suffocation."

Liu Ju said from his professional perspective and experience.

After all, as the person in charge of the space agency, when he saw the images of the moon taken by the Chang'e lunar rover for the first time, he would feel desolate and suffocating.

It is beautiful to see the moon from the blue star, it is also beautiful to see the blue star from the moon, and it is still beautiful to see the blue star from the blue star.

The only way to look at the moon from above is that it is not beautiful at all.

The real moon picture can give people a more immersive sense of substitution, as if the audience is on the moon. When the audience sees the real movie-level moon picture, it is estimated that they will stop breathing unconsciously.

This is Liu Ju's understanding.

"Then Bureau Liu, let's arrange it? Make preparations in advance."

Xu Nuo finally chatted with Liu Ju, and the conversation got down to business.

I came to participate in the celebration party of the space agency this time, because I wanted to ask Director Liu to make preparations in advance for going to the moon to shoot movies in the future.

There are more involved, such as arranging for the space shuttle to go to the Tiangong space station, and it must be during the low-Earth orbit of the Tiangong space station.

Then take the Tiangong space station from the earth to the moon, and take the manned lunar module spacecraft to the surface of the moon.

Then it also includes the composition of the crew, actor training, equipment transportation, and scene preparation on the moon side.

So preparation in advance is inevitable.

"Yes, yes, but...Xiao Xu, you also know that our space agency is in the field of funding. If the Science and Technology Agency allocates more funds for us, I believe that our space agency and your real group will make preparations. It will be more efficient."

Director Liu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

The space agency’s funds, the money is really worth every penny. If Xu Nuo’s real group is preparing together with Xu Nuo’s real filming on the moon, it will inevitably increase the funds. It's stressful.

"Office Chen will definitely support it, and Director Liu, don't worry, since the space agency is working with Real Aerospace of our Real Group, we will naturally be responsible for part of the funding."

Xu Nuo said with a smile, and then added: "In aerospace and outer space, money is basically not a big problem."

When Liu Ju heard this, he thought that Xu Nuo is indeed a director who loves film art, and he is willing to invest in such a big deal.

In fact, with Real Group's current ability to attract money, Xu Nuo believes that funding is no longer a problem, mainly because technology is prone to bottlenecks.

Xu Nuo's current goal is to use the money earned by his real group to obtain black technology that breaks through technical bottlenecks and problems through real filming as much as possible.

"Come, come, let's talk in detail while eating the celebration banquet."

Director Liu took Xu Nuo's hand and came to the front table of the entire celebration dinner, where all the management leaders of the space agency were present.

Seeing that Director Liu was so enthusiastic, Xu Nuo was not polite. He exchanged cups with Director Liu at the celebration dinner, and chatted happily about the cooperation between the space agency and Real Aerospace Future in the field of lunar development and construction.

It can be said that they talked happily during the meeting.

The space agency said that as long as the Science and Technology Agency nods, it will naturally be able to give all support to real spaceflight.

As for Reality Group, Xu Nuo also said that it will increase the capital investment of Real Aerospace on the moon. In this way, the two parties can learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses. By then, both parties will be able to achieve longer-term high-quality goals.

Moreover, when exchanging cups with Liu Ju, Xu Nuo also mentioned the science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth".

"Liu Bureau, I heard that you really like the science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth" written by Guan Ju?"

"Yes, yes, I have read it several times at night, and I am very fascinated."

Hearing this, Bureau Liu nodded in praise and said, "Well written, the main reason is that the brain hole is really good. I heard from Xiao Li that you came up with this brain hole?"

"That's it."

"That's right, a crisis broke out in the sun, and the planetary engine was used to propel the earth to start wandering. I think this story can win the Hugo Award!"

Director Liu continued to praise.

The Hugo Award is the most representative award in the field of science fiction on the entire Blue Star. If a science fiction novel can win the Hugo Award, it represents the recognition of the field of science fiction literature all over the world. There is another award that is It's the Nebula Award.

"Really? But "Three-Body" is more popular overseas, and the voice for winning the Hugo Award is also the highest."

Xu Nuo spread his hands and said proudly.

Because whether it is "The Three-Body Problem" or "The Wandering Earth", they are all science fiction works jointly carried out by Xu Nuo and Guan Ju on this blue star.

"I also know "The Three-Body Problem". It is the novel that Uncle Sam in the United States is urging for updates. It is also written by Guan Ju, but it has been two years now. Why hasn't it won the Hugo Award?"

Director Liu asked suspiciously.

In his opinion, regardless of the story quality of "The Three-Body Problem" or "The Wandering Earth", they should be able to win the Hugo Award.

At least among the Hugo Award-winning works Liu Ju has known in the past, the novelty of the story and the level of imagination are definitely not as shocking and infatuating as "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth".

"However, neither "Three-Body" nor "The Wandering Earth" has been nominated for a Hugo Award yet."

Xu Nuo said dumbfounded.

"Why is this?"

Bureau Liu was very puzzled.

Even if "The Wandering Earth" is not too well-known because of its popularity, the science fiction novel "Three-Body Problem" is very popular all over the world.

Even Uncle Sam in the United States has to tweet a sci-fi novel, how can it not be nominated for a Hugo Award?
"Some members of the jury for the Hugo Awards believe that "The Three-Body Problem" or "The Wandering Earth", novels created for artificial intelligence, should not be shortlisted for the Hugo Awards. Of course, some people support the nominations, so there are disputes and differences. So far There is no conclusion yet."

Xu Nuo told Director Liu why "Three-Body Problem" or "The Wandering Earth" hadn't won the Hugo Award yet.

"So this is ah."

When Director Liu heard this, he suddenly realized that it was a pity that he could not be nominated for the Hugo Award because of the dispute over whether the novel was written by a human or an AI.

"However. With the promotion and application of bionic technology in the future, I think the novels created by bionics like Guan Ju should also be given the opportunity to be shortlisted for the Hugo Awards, and the novels are not just created by Guan Ju alone, are they? Will Xiao Xu participate?"

Bureau Liu had an in-depth discussion with Xu Nuo on this topic.

Xu Nuo just smiled, shook his head and said, "Let those people from the Hugo Award Committee debate."

For Xu Nuo, whether "Three-Body Problem" or "The Wandering Earth" wins the Hugo Award is not that important anymore.

In the past, if a science fiction novel in China won a Hugo Award, it must be of great benefit, and its popularity and promotion can be greatly improved.

"Xiao Xu, you have a really good attitude. If you love making movies so much, I don't know, um. This is "The Wandering Earth"."

Liu Ju first praised Xu Nuo for his good attitude, and then hesitated to ask Xu Nuo what he thought.

"What do you want to say, Bureau Liu?"

Xu Nuo saw that Liu Ju seemed to be a little tactful, so he asked directly.

"I want to take advantage of Xiao Xu's presence here today to ask about science fiction novels like "The Wandering Earth". Do you plan to make it into a science fiction movie?"

Director Liu finally asked out the doubts in his heart.

As a loyal reader of "The Wandering Earth", Liu Juna naturally hopes that this novel can be turned into a film and television. When the magnificence and shocking imagination of "The Wandering Earth" are displayed on the screen, it will definitely be a treat. A visual feast.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Xu Nuo burst out laughing suddenly, looking at Liu Ju in front of him, just like himself before.

I like a novel, and I especially want to make this novel into a film and show it on the big screen, so that more people can see the story of this novel.

"Liu Ju, you like "The Wandering Earth" so much, then I will grant your wish." Xu Nuo said smoothly: "Then I will consider turning "The Wandering Earth" into a film and television."

Originally, Xu Nuo planned to shoot "The Wandering Earth" when he made his next movie, and it was already included in the plan.

Now, Director Liu just asked whether he wanted to make "The Wandering Earth" into a movie, so Xu Nuo had to take this opportunity to fulfill a small wish of Director Liu.

This is different from what Li Yunxiao asked himself before.

Leave expectations for Li Yunxiao, let Liu Ju, then meet his expectations.

"Do you really want to shoot?"

When Director Liu heard this, his whole body immediately perked up.

When I heard that my favorite science fiction novel was going to be made into a movie, even an elderly character like Liu Ju couldn't restrain his excitement.

"Let me make a plan, Liu Ju, how do you think?"

"Okay, okay, okay."

Liu Ju was so happy in his heart, he immediately picked up the cup and drank happily with Xu Nuo again.

Originally, Director Liu planned to let Xu Nuo take advantage of today's space agency celebration dinner to speak to the young people of the space agency to inspire this group of young people with space dreams.

As a result, this accident, chatting with Xu Nuo was too enjoyable, so he drank a little too much.

This speech, of course, was cancelled. If there is a chance later, it would not be too late to invite Xu Nuo to give a speech.

Xu Nuo really didn't expect Liu Ju to drink so well. When he drank with Zhou Kun and Zhao Huojie before, he felt that he could still drink.

This time, if Xu Nuo hadn't said that he couldn't drink well, otherwise he would have been completely drunk by Bureau Liu and the others.

Even so, when Xu Nuo walked out of the space agency, his assistant Wen Ruohan also helped him out.

Afterwards, assistant Wen Ruohan drove him to the hotel, and it was almost noon when he woke up the next day.

"Finally, the entertainment is over, and we can start the preparations for "Spider-Man"."

The first thing Xu Nuo did after waking up was to think that he had finally finished participating in a series of activities during this period, and if there was nothing particularly important to do next, then Xu Nuo could concentrate on "Spider-Man" "Come in the middle of preparations.

"Boss, are you awake?"

Outside the house, the voice of assistant Wen Ruohan came.

"Why is Xiaowen in the house where I live?"

Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment, then washed his face and walked out of the room, only to realize that it was a luxurious big suite, and his assistant Wen Ruohan sent her back last night, so she lived in this suite The room is also very normal.

"Didn't anything embarrassing happen on my way back last night?"

Although he wasn't particularly drunk last night, Xu Nuo still felt dazed and forgot about the process of returning to the hotel.

"No, boss, you won't go crazy after drinking alcohol, but it's a bit heavy, like a pig, no, it's as heavy as a weight."

As Wen Ruohan was talking, he quickly shook his head and changed his words quickly.
