Chapter 37 Nolan Comes to China (5/6)
(I deleted a little in the previous chapter. Sometimes I can't control myself and inexplicably immerse myself in my emotions...)
In fact, the field of science fiction itself belongs to foreigners, and it is a Western thinking.
Our domestic style is from the Chinese Studio, which is like the Romance of the Gods. There is no distinction between high and low, but just cultural style.
It’s not that there have been no excellent science fiction works in China, let alone Liu’s, such as Zhao Haihong’s “Iokasta” and Liu Wenyang’s “One Day Prison”, are all very excellent works.
But it is rare. If you watch "Science Fiction World" for several years, you will conclude that these stories are very similar. They are all love stories built in the future, all five-digit years, strange means of transportation, and all tell various love stories.
This of course includes "Liaohai Fortress"...
Science fiction + love...
It's really not pleasing to the movie field!
There is no problem with the text.
The story of "Luhai Fortress" is when humans are extinct, and you are still the only one in my mind.
Jiang Nan laid a grand background, the invasion of alien civilizations, the land sinking in New York, and the entire human beings were in the midst of life and death, but I was still struggling with how to send you a text message, struggling with whether you really like Yang Jiannan or do you like me a little bit.
But it won't work if you make a movie...
Unless you make an animated movie…
However, this project has been launched and China Film has invested heavily in the construction!
...
Lu Xiaoran didn't pay much attention to "Interstellar", so he responded.
What would happen if he did "Interstellar"?
A small probability will be sprayed into a sieve to catch the obvious plot logic.
Of course, the more likely it is to be the same as the gods. In fact, except for a few people with extreme ideas, most people still have relatively objective and fair evaluations of movies.
The assumption is not true, Lu Xiaoran is not Shen Lin...
He is busy selecting actors, "Dear" and "Lost and Orphan" two movies started at the same time.
The director of "Lost and Orphan" found Peng Sanyuan.
This script was written by Peng Sanyuan based on a report. The prototype character is Guo Gangtang. The whole script is basically based on his description: sleeping through a bridge hole and staying in a temple and Taoist temple. Because he was afraid of conflict with others and mistakenly looking for the child, he ignored all the provocations and ridicule. Only once in Hebei, he met a few drunks. The other party beat him a few times, pulled the flag with the child's message off the motorcycle, and stepped on it a few times on the photo. He pushed the motorcycle away, and felt angry, so he turned around and fought with them.
It's a road film.
How can I make the photo touching?
Add Zeng Shuai who is looking for his biological parents...
Only in this way can people feel hopeful!
Let me add a breakdown, Original Time and Space, "Lost Orphan" is Huayi's project. The director chose Peng Sanyuan, a new director. Huayi was a little worried, so he discussed with her whether he could hire a producer. Peng Sanyuan proposed to summon Chen Kexin, so he gave Chen Kexin the script of "Lost Orphan", and Director Chen said he could not come.
Then the "theme crash" "Dear" was released before "Lost orphan"!
Now, both works are made of oranges, so I don’t have to worry about the theme crash!
Why look for Peng Sanyuan?
Because she has been paying attention to anti-trafficking since 2002, and she has a lot of ideas for shooting herself, so let her do it...
As for losses, "Dear" will definitely make money anyway.
Who is Zeng Shuai looking for?
Huang Xuan?
He is a little old, that Peng Yuchang is good, let him try it...
The main thing is that Teacher Li Xuejian nodded...
Just as I was about to call Chen Zhixi, the latter came over with an invitation letter.
"Nolan came to China to promote "Interstellar", and China Film set up a science fiction film forum, right in the movie archive!"
“…Science Fiction Film Forum? Invite me?”
"Yes, there is Liu Cixin!"
“When?”
"Eight o'clock in the evening!" Chen Zhixi asked, "Will you go?"
"Of course I have to go. I'm like seeing Nolan with my own eyes, what magic is...and I just sat on the chair and talked to him, and refused to kneel down!"
"…You still read Weibo?"
"Isn't it all sent to me by Tangtang... Why is she so idle?"
"How do I know?"
"…I'll call her to come to this forum too..."
...
Tangtang is really idle...
The TV series "The Best Actress" with a pay of 60 million yuan was pushed, and the main time was not suitable. Lu Xiaoran said that the public relations team in the United States was operating "Gravity" to the Olympics, and maybe she could nominate for the Best Actress for the Oscar...
Very moved!
Nominated for Best Actress in the Oscar!
Directly promoted to International Candy, you post-85s little girls are all low-key, look at me...
Of course, there must be necessary public relations. The so-called public relations are all kinds of appearances. Tell the judges that I care about the awards very much, give face and give a name...
Even Lu Xiaoran is preparing to go to the United States to scan his face and suspend the filming of "Dear"...
If you want to win the award, this is a must-do procedure. Li An said, "Chicken in Los Angeles is like plastic. We laughed at saying that this kind of "plastic chicken feast" needs to be eaten at least 25 times before you can get an Oscar. For the sake of the staff, no matter how unpalatable the "plastic chicken" is, it must be swallowed. The Actors Union and the Film Critics Association have to build relationships. They can't talk nonsense, but they have to get an Oscar step by step."
After all, it is an Oscar. If you win an award, it is a great honor. The whole world is watching it. Our art is not worse than others. For the sake of the team, we all want to win the award by ourselves, which is also very respectful!
Tangtang's mind is now full of Oscars. When she saw Lu Xiaoran, her first sentence was: "Will Interstellar nomination be given to the Oscar?"
Lu Xiaoran replied: "...I'm not a judge, but Warner is promoting "American Sniper", Paramount's "Selma", and "Interstellar" should be difficult to divide public relations resources..."
"How do you know this?"
"What David told me... David has two good friends, John Hotzs and Daniel Katz. They are both good PR players and they operate independent art films... I'm wondering if David will acquire A24..."
John Hotzs and Daniel Katz are the two leaders of a24, and a24 is considered the number one font at the North American Independent Film Festival.
Orange Manufacturing is of course the title of the North American independent film industry. In terms of the revenue of the movie, it will definitely beat Weinstein Pictures. A24 has always operated R-level independent art films, which can well supplement the shortcomings of Orange Manufacturing in terms of awards.
Tangtang looked surprised and pulled Lu Xiaoran's arm hard: "...Anne Hathaway! Anne Hathaway!"
Lu Xiaoran shut up...
Why did I think about it and discuss the company's business with her...
They arrived at the movie archive and first met Nolan and Anne Hathaway...
The latter one is entirely to help "Interstellar" stand up.
"Interstellar"'s five-day record in North America was US$49.66 million, No. 14, "Ah Du and Agua 2", "The Disappearing Love" was released, No. 1, "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingbirds" was launched, No. 26, "The Evil Boss 2" was released...
Really, no way out!
However, in mainland China, "Interstellar" has become a masterpiece, with paintings starting on the 12th, and as of the 17th, the first week's score was 300 million...
It surpassed North America and became the world's number one box office center!
For the sake of reason, Nolan is coming to promote the fact that you expect the audience to buy your account, so you have to be nicer to the audience...
Chapter completed!
