China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 820 I am the director, you must be the heroine

Huairou, Beijing, Starry Sky Digital Film and Television Production Center.

The special effects footage of "Edge of Tomorrow" is playing on the screen in the multimedia screening room.

Liu Yifei, wearing a blood-red "Master Chief" exoskeleton armor, is fighting against alien creatures.

She first used the small-caliber machine gun mounted on the armor to carry out long-range sniping on the alien creatures. Her precise shooting almost always hit the vital points of the alien creatures, and on average she could kill one with just a few shots.

But the number of alien creatures was still too large. They had visibly broken through the defense lines of other places and were surrounding Liu Yifei.

The screen switched to a high-altitude bird's-eye view. The Thorn Flower Squad, led by Liu Yifei, was like a stubborn reef in the turbulent ocean current, constantly attracting alien creatures to attack from all directions.

Driven by the desire to survive, the other surviving human warriors unconsciously moved towards Liu Yifei's direction. Tom Cruise, who was on the battlefield for the first time, was among them, crawling around in a very embarrassed manner.

After much trouble, he finally ran into the defense circle of the Thorn Flower Team. Suddenly, his whole body relaxed and he collapsed on the beach, gasping for breath.

But before he could relax, a soldier from the Thorn Flower Squad, with only half of his body left, flew past him, and the splattering blood dyed him all over.

"Oh, f**k~!"

Tom Cruise's hands and feet were shaking in panic.

Immediately afterwards, an alien creature that broke through the defense suddenly appeared in front of him.

His pupils in the picture dilated instantly.

Just when he thought he was about to die, a fierce figure used the temporary propulsion device of the armor to suddenly rush in front of him. The battle blade, which was more than a foot wide, nailed the alien creature firmly less than half a meter away from him.

The tentacles of the alien creature were still flailing around as if it was struggling to survive, and he was so frightened that he took two steps back using his hands and feet.

"Thank you, thank you."

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei in the camera was extremely indifferent. She didn't even look at him before rushing out again.

The next second, more and more alien creatures rushed towards their defensive position like a tide.

The first to bear the brunt was Liu Yifei, who was standing at the front line.

The picture freezes here
"Mr. Horn, due to time constraints, these are all the special effects clips that have been completed so far. I believe you are an expert in this field. Two months is already a very fast speed."

Sun Yi spread out his palms and introduced Alan Horn.

Originally, after finishing the filming in Tokyo, he and Liu Yifei only relaxed for two days before returning to China immediately to start working on the post-production of the film.

Such efficiency is already a model among directors.

He is only 26 years old and has a stunningly beautiful fairy sister by his side. How could he possibly spend all his time on work?

The donkeys in the production team were not used in this way.

Unexpectedly, Warner still didn't let him go and sent producer Alan Horn over.

Sun Yi thought that Alan Horn in front of him was here specifically to urge him to improve his progress.

Otherwise, why would the head of the production department of Warner Bros. come to him for no reason?

Bang bang bang.
Alan Horn clapped and nodded, his eyes shining, and he did not hide his satisfaction with the movie clip.

"My dear Sun, I am a qualified producer. I understand the production process of movie special effects. Two months is not slow. On the contrary, it has greatly exceeded my expectations. At this rate, I think it will be almost all done in another six months, right?"

"Six months. Actually, I plan to finish the special effects in November. Then, including the Chinese and English dubbing and related subtitles, six months is the time it will take for the film to be completed."

When Alan Horn heard Sun Yi say that the film could be completely completed in 6 months, his eyes were filled with surprise.

When did the filming begin?

It seems to be the New Year in China.

That was February.

Including the preliminary preparations, the total production time of such a top-level A-grade special effects sci-fi blockbuster in Hollywood was only 11 months, and the effect was outstanding enough. This efficiency is nearly twice as fast as Hollywood.

Why is the risk of film investment so unexpectedly high and uncontrollable? Isn’t it because the production time of a film is long and no one can guarantee the market conditions in one or two years? Moreover, hundreds of millions of dollars will be tied up in a project for several years, which is not affordable for any company, no matter how big.

For someone like Sun Yi, whose production efficiency has doubled and whose finished quality is good enough, making money is basically a foregone conclusion as long as his luck is not extremely bad.

His career was saved.

Now Alan has many more ideas in his mind. Such a high-quality and efficient partner must be firmly grasped in his hands and become one of his trump cards.

The new CEO is not from the film and television production background, so he needs industry elites like himself in related aspects.

So, the next project should continue to choose to cooperate with Sun Yi, and even refer to the cooperation method between Warner and Legendary Pictures, and sign a series of cooperation models with Star Sky.

Of course, this still needs to convince the new CEO and the board of directors. However, he believes that as long as the box office performance of this movie comes out, no one will be stupid enough to oppose this cooperation.

So now, he should strengthen his cooperative relationship with Sun Yi in a timely manner.

"Director Sun, I wonder, after the production of Edge of Tomorrow is finished, do you have any plans? Or in other words, do you have any new projects?"

"Oh? A new project?"

Liu Yifei had the same miserable fate as Sun Yi. After returning from Tokyo, she did not rest for a moment and immediately plunged into the rehearsal of the second season of China's Voice.

Not only rehearsals, but also singing practice.

After all, he was going to hold a concert, so how could he not prepare in advance?

During this period, she basically lived in the "wedding villa" with Sun Yi. During the day, they went to the film and television center together. Sun Yi went to do post-production, and she came to the studio to rehearse, and then they went home together at night.

As for what happens after you get home, it depends on your mood and condition. I can’t say much.

Today's rehearsal went smoothly and the first episode has been recorded. It will probably be officially broadcast in half a month.

After bidding farewell to several celebrity mentors, Liu Yifei prepared to go to the special effects center to check out some.

Well, I'm not thinking about someone, but I'm going to inspect the work.

As soon as they arrived at the special effects center, they saw Sun Yi smilingly escorting Alan Horn out, and Liu Yifei greeted him politely.

She didn't have much interaction with this senior executive of Warner, but she knew that he was the key figure in facilitating the cooperation between Star Sky and Warner Films, so she gave him face.

After seeing Alan Horn off, Liu Yifei asked in confusion.

"Brother, why is he here? He's here to check on the progress of the movie. I think we can just assign a staff member to do that."

Look, even Liu Yifei's brain seems abnormal.

"Hiss, hey, he also came to check the progress, but more importantly, he wanted to further promote cooperation with us."

"Further cooperation, what do you mean?"

Liu Yifei stared at me with her big, Caroline-like eyes and asked in confusion.

In her opinion, it is amazing that Star Sky can cooperate with Warner, one of the six major Hollywood studios.

In the whole country, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, no one can do it except Starry Sky.

Only my husband.

"Tsk tsk, I was thinking about taking a good rest after filming this movie and then preparing for the wedding, and now it's back to life again, Sissi, do you have any ideas about Superman, or do you want to act in it?"

"Superman? The Superman I was thinking of?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened in disbelief.

The national idol of the United States.

How could she, a Chinese, be cast in this film?

But these words came from her brother's mouth, and it didn't sound like he was lying to her, so it was really hard to believe.

Could it be that?
Liu Yifei looked at Sun Yi suddenly.

The latter nodded, met Liu Yifei's gaze and said:

"Yes, it's the Superman you were thinking of. Alan came this time to ask me if I was willing to direct. This time is different from the previous times. He formally invited me on behalf of Warner, so I asked if you had any thoughts on starring in it."

"Wow, Superman, brother, are you the director?"

Liu Yifei's eyes sparkled, and she seemed even happier than if she had won the Best Actress award. In her previous dreams, Hollywood was the highest temple of movies, and as a director, being able to direct a movie like "Superman" was a complete affirmation.

My brother wants it.
"Hey, don't pay attention to me yet. I'm asking you, do you want to act?"

"Me? What can I play in Superman? He's America's national idol. The director is Chinese, which is understandable, but can the female role be Chinese? Oh, you won't let me just make a cameo, right? Although there's no big or small role in acting, it still feels a bit embarrassing."

"You must be joking. How could I let you make a cameo appearance? I'm the director and you must be the female lead. That's a given."

"Hehe, I know that my brother treats me the best." Liu Yifei smiled and coquettishly took Sun Yi's arm, and then asked: "But how can there be a role suitable for me? Are you asking me to play Supergirl? That's ridiculous."

Sun Yi shook his head, as if he had it all figured out, "Superwoman is not very suitable, but a tomboy is."

"Hey you, who are you talking about? You're asking for a fight!"
