China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 415 "Interstellar" starts

"The Hunger Games 2 should be released simultaneously with North America."

Han Sanping suggested that the one-year introduction quota is there anyway, and it is not given to anyone.

And since the Lunar New Year festival is basically dominated by domestic films, many imported films will be released from the end of October to November.

"Escape Plan", "The Last Stand", "Thor: The Dark World", etc.

"Then it's settled."

Li Mu nodded, having no objection to this suggestion.

After the start of the working day, the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" has obviously dropped significantly, with the daily average already hovering around 60 to 70 million.

But he still leads the way.

At this time, Lu Zheng was a little lucky.

"Fortunately, "Special Identity" is not scheduled for this year's National Day schedule."

Lu Zheng feels that sometimes, it is better to choose a slightly worse schedule than to be squeezed into one schedule.

"Special Identity" will be officially released on October 10. By this time, the influence of "Edge of Tomorrow" has been greatly reduced.

"Ah Mu, look quickly, there seems to be a fire in Director Jiang's studio."

Liu Yifei suddenly rushed in with her cell phone in hand.

Li Mu frowned and read the reports. Someone broke the news that the studio of the "One Step Away" crew in Huairou was on fire. There is no specific information yet.

"What are you doing?"

Li Mu hurriedly dialed Jiang Wen's phone number.

When Li Mu heard Jiang Wen answer the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought he had burped.

"How's the situation?"

Li Mu asked subconsciously. Logically speaking, Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" didn't have such scenes, so how could this happen?

"I'm really depressed too. I don't know if it was because of the dry weather that it caught fire."

Jiang Wen was a little speechless, but also a little lucky, "But everyone is fine. We happened to be filming Ge You's scene today. There are only a few actors and a few staff members."

"How's it going, Director Jiang?" Liu Yifei asked slowly when she saw Li Mu hung up the phone.

"It's nothing, just spend money to prevent disaster."

Li Mu said lightly, sometimes this kind of thing is so coincidental.

Lu Yang and Wu Ershan also have news about the adaptation of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

"Director Li, we went to learn "inverted fighting". Well, of course we just asked experienced people to teach us, and we didn't actually do "inverted fighting"."

Lu Yang talked and explained.

"Nonsense, if you are really going to 'fight', then I should be visiting the prison now."

Li Mu said angrily.

However, the two also expressed their thoughts on the adaptation. In the past six months, the two not only learned about "inversion fighting", visited tombs and museums, but also studied Feng Shui and learned about extreme sports under the guidance of experts. .

It can be said to be well prepared.

"It's just that Tian Xia Ba Chang, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", doesn't seem to have any interest in screenwriting."

Lu Yang said rather depressed.

It is best to invite the author for the adaptation, so that some plots can be better controlled.

"Ahem, if you do this, just say that you are not a screenwriter and ask him to be a consultant."

Li Mu thought for a while and seemed to remember how Jiang Wen deceived people, so he immediately followed up on the routine.

".Consultant, I feel like a consultant is useless."

"The consultant is not allowed to hold meetings. The guys behind me hold screenwriter meetings every day, so if you include him, he will naturally be trained into a screenwriter by you."

Li Mu looked at Lu Yang and the two of them as if they were fools, not capable of such simple deception.

If it had been Guo Fan, all the top singers in the world would have been fooled by him.

Lu Yang's eyes lit up, he clasped his hands together and said, "That makes sense!!!"

"Okay, you can go get ready, but remember that tomb robbing is a crime and violates the criminal law. It cannot be 'beautified' or 'positively represented' in film and television works. Don't violate the taboo."

Li Mu still reminded him.

"We understand this."

Lu Yang patted his chest and assured.

Nolan's "Interstellar" has begun construction, and Liu Yifei has also been notified to join the team.

The two set out early in the morning for the Canadian province of Alberta.

Li Mu remembered correctly, this should be the filming location for most of the scenes on earth, and it is also the planting land of 500 acres of corn.

As soon as Li Mu arrived on the set, Nolan took him to the place where he planted 500 acres of cornfield.

"Lee, how's it going?"

Nolan asked proudly, "I always believe that the power of reality surpasses special effects."

This is why he insists on shooting in real scenes, which is a sense of reality that special effects cannot match.

Allowing actors to perform against real situations and giving them the immersive feeling is Nolan's answer to the movie.

Liu Yifei was really shocked. At a glance, she could see the endless corn growing taller than a person.

"But you can create a cornfield, but you can't create a dinosaur."

Li Mu smiled and said that he also knew that the real scene was shocking, but it had some limitations.

At least Li Mu's "Jurassic World" couldn't be shot in real life, and most of the plot had to be completed on a green screen in a studio.

"It would be great if we could restore the dinosaurs."

Nolan muttered, which made Li Mu feel ashamed. This guy must not even have the idea of ​​​​shooting real dinosaurs.

"It's really a pity that this place will be burned down in the end." Liu Yifei felt a little regretful. This can be regarded as a scenery.

"Everything must be handled according to real details. This is the art of movies."

Nolan had no intention of staying. The original idea of ​​building this 500-acre cornfield was to create a shocking effect.

"On the other hand, I'm still thinking about how to deal with the shot of the strong wind blowing up endless sand and dust."

Nolan rubbed his chin because the earth in the movie has become a desert.

Boundless sand and dust will fill the entire lens frame.

“I thought I could try using a blower to blow cardboard powder into the film to create this effect.”

Li Mu thought for a while and suggested.

Nolan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Li, this idea looks good."

I quickly called the prop master to try it out.

The effect came out immediately, and the sand and dust produced were excellent.

It also choked Nolan who was watching the effect at close range.

Coughing non-stop.

Li Mu came this time not only because he is the screenwriter, but also because Nolan hopes that during the script reading, Li Mu, his brother Jonathan Nolan and the physicists invited by the crew can review some of the scripts for the actors when necessary. There are some incomprehensible points.

Although the script of "Interstellar" is full of themes of love and family, it contains a lot of obscure information.

Of course, astrophysics expert Kip Thorne will not follow the crew, but the structure of the science fiction world in the movie has been completely constructed.

It was also the first time for Liu Yifei to see the complete script. After all, she was afraid that the script would be leaked, so the only fragments of the characters that were sent to her some time ago.

But when the overall script is put together, the entire plot seems to have been sublimated.

Liu Yifei has obviously been attracted by its plot.

"You once said that you might be as old as me when you come back. Now that I have become the age you were when you left, it's time for you to come back, Dad."

Liu Yifei was still muttering to the script.

It seems as if there is some substitution in it.

"That's why you and Director Nolan said that the number one villain in this movie is time, right?"

Human time is simply not worth mentioning in the face of the long dimension of cosmic time.

But the missed lifetime between father and daughter is ultimately lost and can never be recovered.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but shed tears as she read the script.

"It's not that bad." Li Mu quickly took out a tissue and wiped it.

"This script is so good, so well written."

Liu Yifei said with great emotion.

"Nonsense, I am a screenwriter after all."

"shameless."

Liu Yifei suddenly laughed and lightly hit Li Mu's arm with her little hand.

Li Mu only stayed on the set for three days. The crew was already about to start this stage of filming, and Li Mu had to do his own work.

"Christopher, I have to go to Los Angeles."

Li Mu said goodbye to Nolan. He had to go to Universal to finalize the latest script for "Jurassic World" with Spielberg.

Universal also had to make preliminary preparations for filming.

"By the way, Lee, I have a question." Nolan suddenly said, "What would happen if the space scenes were completely silent?"

"."

Li Mu was stunned by Nolan's question.

In the past, a "flaw" that was often criticized in space science fiction movies was that in a vacuum where sound had no medium to propagate, the audience could still "hear" various sound effects in the characters or scenes.

Nolan clearly intends to challenge this tradition.

"Believe in yourself, this might be a great idea."

Li Mu thought about it carefully and finally agreed with Nolan's idea. This is indeed a very bold idea, but if it matches the stage of the film, it may complement each other.

Domestic media also learned about Liu Yifei's joining the group.

"Yifei Liu has joined the cast of Nolan's new film "Interstellar," which is expected to be released to the audience next year."

Li Mu flew directly from Canada to Los Angeles.

Universal's production studios and offices are located at 100 Plaza Avenue in Universal City, California, between Los Angeles and Burbank.

Spielberg and Adam Ferguson are among them at the moment.

"Jurassic World" is set to be a very successful theme ocean park, attracting 1000 million visitors from around the world every year.

Here, the prehistoric giant beast that has been extinct for nearly 20 million years and the top predator "Mosasaurus" that lived in the Cretaceous era is bred here.

They perform for tourists regularly every day, and the reward is a shark meal.

In Li Mu's plot setting, humans will have dinosaur helpers for the first time this time, including the terrifying "dinosaur killers" Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor, etc.

This also lays the foundation for the sequel.

Adam Ferguson was very excited after reading it.

"Lee, I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with this script and it can be shot immediately."

Spielberg nodded:

"Great script, I have no problem with it."

Everyone reached an agreement and started the "Jurassic World" project according to the current settings.
