Chapter 840 Do Your Best

In mid-September, the oriental classical mythology blockbuster "Fengshen" held a launch conference in Jade Bird, Shandong.

The Oriental Movie Metropolis, which was built by the Jade Bird Government, Huarun Group, Rongchuang Holdings, and Hantang Media at a cost of 500 billion yuan, has completed the first phase of construction, which coincides with the filming of "Legend of the Gods".

As the foundation of Huaguo Heavy Industry's films, Oriental Movie Metropolis is a film and television base built in accordance with the highest international standards, and it is no different from Hollywood.

The filming of the "Fengshen" series also officially announced the opening of the Oriental Movie Metropolis, the world's top film and television base.

The day before the launch conference, Tang An visited the Oriental Movie Metropolis located in Lingshan Bay, Qingniao City.

For the 500 billion project, the mayor of Jade Bird personally took the initiative, and Li Xin, the newly appointed co-president of Huaren Land, also came as the largest investor.

For Rongchuang, Sun Ze, the vice president of Rongchuang Culture Group, is here. Rongchuang Zhonghua's newly established company can tell from the name that it is mainly engaged in the business of cultural tourism and real estate, and it is also the main body of Rongchuang's cooperation this time.

As for the vice president who only came to one subsidiary, it's not that he doesn't pay attention to this project, after all, it's 500 billion.

Sun Ze is the eldest son of Sun Hongbing, the boss of Rongchuang.

Can represent Sun Hongbing.

The Oriental Movie Metropolis is also initially involved in the cultural and tourism business of Huarun and Rongchuang. The volume of 500 billion is definitely a big project for the two companies.

"Everyone, please look, this is studio No. 22, with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, and it is also the largest studio in the world. It can meet the needs of any large-scale production with super-large-scale scenery."

A group of people came to the northeast of the production area of ​​the Oriental Movie Metropolis Film and Television Industrial Park, and saw this super-large photography studio with a length of 168 meters, a width of 69.9 meters, and a height of 27.5 meters. It is nine stories high and is equivalent to the area of ​​two ordinary football fields. shed.

The person in charge of the accompanying industrial park began to introduce the studio, "This studio is not only large in size, but also top-notch in terms of hardware and equipment, with 14 soundproof doors, silent air conditioning, and Equipped with fully functional working rooms for the crew”

The studio with more than [-] square meters is the largest in the world.

At this time, the studio has already built the set required for the "Fengshen" series, and it is ready to be put into use.

After the "Feng Shen" series is used up, it will be dismantled immediately and provided to the "Wandering Earth" crew. The time is still relatively tight.

Walking out of the studio, Li Xin, president of China Land Land, said, "Now I am more and more looking forward to what kind of blockbuster director Wu Ershan can shoot in such a top studio in the world."

Tang An said with a smile, "I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Li and Mr. Sun. The "Fengshen" series will make a good start for the base. In the future, all blockbuster films of Hantang Media will be shot at the base, and the projects of my two companies in North America will also be successful." We try our best to come to China to shoot, and we have finalized two films with Disney and [-]th Century Fox. As long as the price is reasonable and the hardware facilities meet the standards, more and more Hollywood blockbusters will come to our base to shoot in the future."

With such a large base and forty large studios, it is far from enough to rely on domestic films alone.

Moreover, the fees are much more expensive than those in Huairou and Hengdian. Generally, film crews will not come if there is no such demand. Hollywood's business is very important.

There is a price advantage, and there is no need to worry about no business.

Chatting and shopping along the way, Huarun and Rongchuang are still very optimistic about this project.

The 500 billion investment is not just a film and television base. According to the plan of the Jade Bird government, the Oriental Movie Metropolis will be one of the sub-centers of Jade Bird City, as well as a cultural and tourism center. For this reason, the West Coast Development Group was established with an additional [-] billion.

Huarun built a Vientiane City, Poly built a super theater, and there are countless hotels and theme parks.

Of course, there are also residential houses in the surrounding area. With this package, the housing prices in this area are rising again and again.

"By the way, Director Tang, now some other companies in the film and television industry are teaming up to target the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is really amazing that most of the industry can join forces." Sun Ze of Rongchuang Culture said quite admiringly.

Only the weak need to join forces to deal with the strong, and most of the industry has joined hands to deal with Hantang, which is enough to show that Hantang has now threatened the interests of other people in the industry.

Tang An smiled indifferently, "It's not a big deal."

Sun Ze nodded and said, "Indeed, with Tang Dong's courage, this 500 billion project, Tang Dong's structure is a level higher than other companies."

Tang An is not the leader of this project. After all, it is 500 billion, not as simple as billions, unless it is a slap in the face.

But the Oriental Movie Metropolis was facilitated by Tang An, and his role can be said to be second only to Huarun's funds.

As for Rongchuang, they participated purely because of Wanda’s transformation into a cultural tourism real estate and wanted to follow suit.

Several CEOs and government leaders walked in front, followed by Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, Wu Jing, Huang Bo and others.

In addition to "Feng Shen", the scenes in the Caspian Sea of ​​"Wolf Warrior 2" will be filmed in the underwater production center of the base. This is the second underwater constant temperature studio in the world. The indoor water circulation tank can be kept at 32 degrees, which can It is suitable for the shooting of ocean and various underwater scenes.

Moreover, the water quality of the shooting pool can meet the "swimming pool water quality standard" stipulated by the FINA.

It is so strict to shoot a scene, with constant temperature and international swimming pool standards, Wu Jing was overwhelmed after visiting the underwater studio last time.

Some shots of Huang Bo's "A Good Show" were also filmed in the Oriental Movie Metropolis.

In the future, they will have more films to be shot here, together with the top international film and television bases, come to see them on the spot.

In the front, Tang An had a good chat with the mayor of Qingniao, the president of Huarun Land, and the prince of Rongchuang, and they also chatted all the way behind.

Originally, directors like them with super-high box office appeal could get along with big companies on an equal footing, but now Tang An is with the deputy provincial city mayor, the president of Giant China Land, and the son of another real estate predator. , and another level away from them was invisibly pulled away.

A man should be like this?

A few people's heads suddenly popped out such a rather second-grade sentence. Tang An's progress from a director to the current stage has also given other people more motivation and goals in a way.

However, none of them would think that they could achieve Tang An's current situation, after all, they missed the time.

Tang An's rise was due to the rapid exaggeration of the film industry, and he stepped in at the right time to gain a firm foothold.

In addition, the distribution has transitioned from traditional distribution to online distribution, and the traditional publicity method has also become Internet publicity.

In the current film industry that has almost been established, even a director who can sell at the box office cannot replicate Tang An's success.

No matter how ambitious you are, you can only lament that you were born at an untimely time.

The most important thing for them now is the project in hand. Such a high-standard film and television base will undoubtedly lay a solid hardware foundation for their future projects.

After Wu Jing came out of the underwater production center, he said with emotion, "Now the conditions are getting better and better. The FINA standard, the underwater constant temperature is 32 degrees. This temperature can still take a bath in winter. It is the same as we used to find a small river ditch. Much better than that."

Xu Zheng said with a smile, "Technology is developing, isn't it that some people have been discussing that in the future, intelligent robots will become popular, and humans will no longer have to work."

"Then I'd rather do it myself." Ning Hao interjected, shaking his head.

"If it's like "Robot Story", what's the point of being alive?"

Wu Jingdao, "That's right, technology is developing, but people are getting lazy and can't bear hardships. I have been looking for a young actor for more than a month. I want to go to Africa to film. It's too hard. "

Xu Zheng said in surprise, "It's not like that."

"Wolf Warrior" broke [-] million, and this second film is obviously heading towards the [-] billion mark, and it is also a project of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Such a male number two is a role that many people dream of.

Wu Jing shook his head, "I want to act too much. Before the last round of auditions, seven or eight people have approached me, and they don't care about the salary."

Obviously, they are all aimed at the sequel of the [-] million movie and the signboard of Han and Tang Dynasties.

Wu Jing continued, "But the vast majority of people don't really like this role, it's just because it can bring them benefits. I originally set my sights on two young people. One wants to find time to shoot TV dramas, and the other spends half a month. I’m going back to China, there are a lot of activities waiting, and the manager is also talking about it, and he will list a lot of security regulations and measures for you.”

Young people are becoming more and more delicate. Ten years ago, if a famous film director made an appointment, no matter how hard it was, no one would refuse.

"Actually speaking, who doesn't want a better environment for filming? Now that there is a constant temperature underwater production center, would you be willing to go to the smelly ditch to film in winter?" Xu Zheng laughed.

"And the times are different. In the Internet age, it's easier to become famous. A newcomer can star in a TV series and it will become popular immediately after it is released on Shonan TV. Or if you buy a popular novel and adapt it into a TV series, you will become famous immediately. It started, no need to suffer, it's too easy."

Speaking of this, Ning Hao sighed again, "Fortunately, Tang Dong's literary website is controlling the quantity and quality of adaptations, otherwise there will be more flooding."

It's too easy to be famous these days. If you buy a phenomenal online novel and adapt it to a TV series, it will become popular after a while, but whether it will remain popular is a problem.

A large group of newcomers with backgrounds focused on these online novels with their own fans. A leader of the Film Academy came to Ning Hao for help and obtained the film and television rights of one of the novels.

The former hospital leader asked him for help, and Ning Hao was annoyed to death by these human relations.

It is also fortunate that Han and Tang Literature did not completely open up peripheral copyrights, especially film and television copyrights, which are very strict and have high requirements for qualifications.

Hard-won success is easier for yourself to remember, and it will also work harder.

An actor who doesn't work hard is something that all directors don't want to meet.

The next day, at the gate of Chaoge City Film and Television City in the base, the "Fengshen" series officially held a launch conference.

At the press conference, reporters frequently mentioned Xiang Huaqiang and Hua Yi's "Legend of the Gods".

"Legend of the Conferred Gods" has been filming for a while, and the promotion has never stopped.

Other publicity is mainly to forcibly bind "Legend of the Conferred Gods" and the trilogy of "Fengshen" together for bundled marketing.

Faced with reporters frequently mentioning "Legend of the Conferred Gods", Tang An was not polite.

"I don't think there is a need to compare the two. As a classic mythology blockbuster, "Legend of the Gods" was too hasty from preparation to shooting. I can't believe that a good movie can be made in such a short time."

"And our "Feng Shen" trilogy has been in preparation for three years, and props, costumes, sets, etc. are fully prepared."

"And in terms of production, in order to shoot some big scenes, such as the panorama of Chaoge City, the confrontation between the Shang and Zhou armies and other big scenes, the crew will use three red8K cameras to build a super high-resolution and large-scale frame. The shooting system forms a lens to shoot the ultimate image with 12K resolution, which will be the highest resolution lens in film history."

6K cameras have not yet been fully popularized, and many production crews even use 4K digital cameras, let alone 8K cameras, which have only just been launched.

Three 8K cameras form a 12K resolution lens, which is the first time in China.

Although many reporters couldn't understand it, it didn't prevent them from being aware of it in the slightest.

However, there are still knowledgeable reporters questioning.

"Tang Dong, currently domestic screen projection equipment can analyze images with a resolution of 6K at most, and the highest resolution that can be achieved on an IMAX film screen is 6K, so what's the point of having a lens with a resolution of 12K?"

"This friend is right. At present, domestic digital IMAX screens generally support 4K resolution, while IMAX film screens support 6K."

Tang An nodded, and continued, "Three 8K cameras form a 12K lens, and the resolution of the final film is about 6-8K. There are very few screens in China that can achieve the best viewing effect, and we are also in the country. Cinemas around the world have introduced the first-generation IMA laser giant screen."

"The most important thing is to do our best within the scope of our ability, which is what each of us filmmakers should do. It is responsible for the film, for the investors, and even more for the audience!"

"However, this is only used in big scenes, and it is also to bring the audience a better viewing experience."

At the press conference, Tang An became the protagonist again. These reporters didn't know which ones were paid, and they frequently put "Legend of the Conferred Gods" and the trilogy of "Fengshen" together.

Tang An was straightforward, "The film "Legend of the Gods" has two directors, one is the MV commercial director, and the other has never directed alone. In addition, the preparation was less than a year ago. There is really no reason to believe that this can make a good classic mythology blockbuster.”

"Everyone can also think about it, what kind of special effects can such a complicated movie have such a short cycle?"

For this kind of bad movie, Tang An has nothing to say.

Movies like "Little Times" and "Where's Dad?" are still liked by some fans, but no matter who is a fan of "Legend of the Gods", I am afraid that this movie will not be liked.

After saying a few words, Tang An handed over the scene to Wu Ershan and the actors.

Naturally, Wu Ershan couldn't avoid being asked about the two God-themed films, whether he had confidence and what he thought of each other's films.

He didn't say anything about the scene. Now the two sides are fighting with real knives and guns. "Legend of the Conferred Gods" is another film that follows the trend of making money after the "Fengshen" series, and it will be released early. Isn't this a smash? God's sign!
