China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 797: The No. Swindler in Domestic Entertainment
After the lights dimmed, "The Wandering Earth" officially began screening.

The film begins with Liu Peiqiang, played by Wu Jing, and his son, and his father-in-law, Han Ziang, played by Uncle Da, camping on the beach.

Through the characters' dialogue, the director tells the audience that Liu Peiqiang is going to carry out a very important mission.

The camera turns and the brightly lit steel behemoth facing the three people tells the audience that the world in their eyes is no longer the same as the world they live in.

That steel behemoth is a product of recent technology.

"cut."

Director Fuji disagrees.

I don’t feel that this movie is much better than his “Fortress of Devil May Cry”.

After the conversation between Liu Peixiang and his son Liu Qi, the director used a news clip to tell the audience what the world in the movie has become.

In 2026, a solar storm hit the Earth, destroying a large number of civilian electronic facilities, causing global unrest, and the Earth's population began to decline sharply.

Realizing that the disaster was about to come, countries around the world finally united. After measurements and calculations by scientists, they found that solar helium dispersion would occur in 2100, and humans must be prepared to deal with the crisis.

If no action is taken, the entire Earth and even the entire Milky Way galaxy will be destroyed in the near future and become unsuitable for human survival.

In response to the crisis, countries around the world have jointly formulated the Wandering Earth Plan, which is to build more than 1 planetary engines on Earth, stop the Earth's rotation for years, and then push the Earth out of the solar system and push it to a migration area.

The entire project is estimated to take 2,500 years and 100 generations to complete.

Director Fuji, who thought that "The Wandering Earth" was similar to his "Fortress of Devil City" a few minutes ago, blushed when he saw this.

Although he didn't know what the plot would be like later, the structure and intention of "The Wandering Earth" in the first few minutes alone had already surpassed his "The Fortress of Devil City".

Compared with "The Wandering Earth", his "Magic City Fortress" is just a joke.

At the beginning, it was introduced that the only thing left on Earth was Magic City, the last bastion of all mankind. Then the camera switched to show the protagonist laughing and conducting simulated fighter training with his comrades. It was like playing a game, and there was no doomsday atmosphere at all.

Over the next two hours, Director Fuji felt like he was slapped in the face countless times.

After the news clip introduction of "The Wandering Earth", when Liu Qicheng grew up, the movie explained the details of how much time had passed and how bad the weather on Earth had become.

His "The Fortress of the Demon City" only has one sentence: Several years later.

There is no harm without comparison. Compared with "The Wandering Earth", his sci-fi blockbuster is incredibly rough.

Not to mention the special effects, which are all-round and have no blind spots.

Anyone who has seen these two movies knows that the special effects of the two movies are incomparable.

Even if Director Fuji is the director of the movie, he is not so shameless as to say that the special effects of his movie are better than this movie.

The plot is even more incomparable.

There are many shocking and touching plots in "The Wandering Earth".

After Han Duoduo finished her report, rescue teams from various countries drove back. There were Sakura people, white people and black people. In such an adverse environment, this feeling of unity among all mankind was very inspiring.

Wu Jing's acting is just so-so, not bad but not good either.

However, in the movie "The Wandering Earth", his 60 million yuan was not in vain.

Liu Peiqiang spoke to Liu Qi for the last time, and rushed towards Jupiter without hesitation, asking Liu Qi to look up at the sky.

This plot arrangement is really great, very shocking and touching, and it is one of the most exciting highlights in the movie.

Apart from this, there are many other wonderful aspects of the movie.

After the movie ended, the audience and the media stood up and applauded, but Director Fuji was silent. The thing he least wanted to admit finally happened.

He came here today just to watch "The Wandering Earth" make a fool of itself, and then prove that Guo Fan, who was abandoned by him, was not that good either.

However, when it comes to science fiction, Guo Fan is really much better than him.

He is now embarrassed to compare his "Magic Fortress" with "The Wandering Earth".

The gap is too big, they are not even at the same level, there is no way to compare them.

He was just too proud and chose the wrong path. Urban romance dramas are obviously well made. "Snail House" and "Naked Marriage" were once very popular and many people have watched them.

People always strive for higher positions. If you are doing well in the television industry, it is reasonable for you to switch to the film industry and there is nothing wrong with it.

His "Love Is Not Blind" is one of his representative works that made a lot of money with a small budget.

He could have clearly continued to delve deeper into this field, but he had to make things difficult for himself. This completely weird sci-fi movie was claimed to be an epic domestic sci-fi blockbuster, but it was ridiculed by everyone. Who can he blame?

You can only blame him for being too arrogant.

Can anyone make science fiction? Can someone like him make good science fiction? He doesn't have the ability.

When the main creative team took the stage, Liu Cixin was the first to speak and gave the film a high evaluation.

Guo Fan was very frank: "In fact, I was very nervous, like a student taking the college entrance examination, and now I am nervous to hand in my paper. I am honored that Mr. Liu praised our film so highly, which made me feel a little more relaxed."

Guo Fan's nervousness was not fake, he was really nervous.

He has only made a few movies, and his last one was a campus romance.

This time his dream has finally come true, he has made his favorite science fiction film, and it will soon be put to the test of the market. How can he not be nervous?

Wu Jing was very confident.

If he didn't think highly of "The Wandering Earth", he wouldn't have invested 60 million yuan in it.

However, complaints should still be made.

He pointed at Guo Fan's face and complained to the people present: "I tell you, this guy is a liar. You don't know that this guy called me and said he wanted to buy me a drink.

I went to the appointment without thinking much about it. After two drinks at the table, his tears started flowing. So I wished him a hard time filming "The Wandering Earth".

He asked me to do him a favor and make a cameo appearance in his movie, which would only take a few days.

I've been through this before. When I saw him crying, I recalled the hardships I went through while filming Wolf Warrior and agreed to his request.

As a result, this old guy used me for advertising and to attract other actors to participate.

That would have been fine, but after the official filming began, I thought my scenes could be finished in a few days, but it turned out that more and more scenes were filmed, and it took me thirty-one days to shoot one cameo role.

When I finished filming and was about to leave, he smiled and asked me to drink with him, and said to me, "Brother Jing, I have no money." I said, "Then I won't charge you."

As a result, he asked me to pay for it and tricked me into investing in him.

If my agent hadn’t told my wife that I was actually filming, she would have called the police.”

Wu Jing's accusation against Guo Fan was full of emotion.

The people present laughed happily when they ate the melon.

I didn't expect that Guo Fan, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, could be so good at fooling people. Could he be a lecturer who escaped from some den?
