Chapter 909 No One Can Help! (1/3)
Chapter 909: It’s not easy for anyone! (13)
How did we meet?
You and I are not meant to be together, it all depends on me spending money!
Da Liu spoke up: "Chang Lin read "Ball Lightning" and then invited me to be their company's literary consultant... But I was writing "The Three-Body Problem" at the time, so I didn't agree... After I finished writing, I sent it to him to read, and he directly
I offered 5 million yuan to buy out the film and television adaptation rights... At that time, the film and television adaptation rights for a book were only 50,000 yuan..."
"And he also took back all the film and television adaptations that I sold before... Actually, at first we wanted to make "Ball Lightning"... But it was not easy to make, and we had to avoid many things, so we decided to make "The Wandering Earth"...
"
Shi Shi continued: "Teacher Liu is the number one person in domestic science fiction. He has single-handedly raised the level of Chinese science fiction to the world level!"
Before Da Liu, Mr. Wang (Wang Jingkang) had always been in the top spot. Da Liu's early works such as "Whale Song" were still immature. In the middle period, Da Liu began to be on par with Mr. Wang. By the time of "Ball Lightning", he had completely pulled away.
Open the gap and become the well-deserved first.
Although Da Liu created music very early - he started creating music in the 1980s, he made his debut late at the end of the century.
At that time, he faced a very serious situation: Mr. Wang, a highly prolific man, wrote almost all about technological development and current political topics from the 1980s to the beginning of the century.
The era of Da Liu.
However, Da Liu jumped out of these frameworks, and his writing structure was more concise and ingenious than Mr. Wang's verbosity.
Compared with works of the same type, Da Liu's works express intense emotions very restrainedly, but Mr. Wang Jinkang took the trouble to describe in detail...
Insert a sentence: "Ball Lightning" was caused by Liu's misdiagnosis of cancer. "Three-Body: Death Eternal Life" was also the ending of "Three-Body". At that time, the Niangziguan Power Plant was closed...
Without "Death Eternal", the first two films would have been of a very high standard, but they wouldn't have been so shocking.
"Excellent!"
"No..." Shi Shi said seriously: "Chang Lin said that because of Liu, mainstream literature has taken a new look at super science fiction!"
Da Liu smiled: "Actually, mainstream literature has never paid much attention to science fiction and thinks you are very marginal. Several science fiction authors, including me, are members of the Provincial Writers Association. I am also a contracted writer of the Shanxi Writers Association. I go to meetings and follow
They travel but don't have much in common."
"However, things will be different after "The Wandering Earth" is released, right?"
"...Then I don't know, I've been working on my acupuncture points for the past half month..."
"I remember that Chang Lin really liked "Full Band Jamming" before and always wanted to do it, but... I made three versions of the script summary, but I was rejected every time!"
Guo Fan nodded: "Now that the new film support policy has been introduced, general themes, such as common people eating, drinking, and daily life, can be approved with a few hundred words of outline, and the outline of the approved project does not have any literary or story quality.
The requirements can be said to be very simple.
But when it comes to conflict and confrontation, it’s not an ordinary subject! Especially "Full Band Blocking and Jamming", which involves military, politics, diplomacy... various fields! It’s quite difficult!”
After a pause, Guo Fan continued: "So, for "The Wandering Earth 2" we are going to draw on some factors from "Full Band Blocking and Interference", such as solar storms..."
"Full Band Blocking Interference" was created in 1999. What happened at that time?
The Yugoslav Embassy was bombed!
Da Liu held his breath and read "Full Band". He clearly felt a sense of energy and even hatred. This energy flowed along the tip of his pen and onto the page. He felt that every word and every sentence was full of meaning.
Like a knife flying towards the enemy, I have to fight you to the death.
To explain, the meaning of "Full Band Blocking Interference" is that the solar storm is triggered, causing the computer network that needs to be connected to shut down - driving the "Wannian Yandi" into the sun, so that the whole world will return to Mars within a week.
The world before Coney.
Yang Xiaomi interjected: "Has the protagonist been decided for the second part?"
"Well, I found Huang Bo... Chang Lin said that Peng Peng looks like Huang Bo..."
"What about the heroine?"
Guo Fan: "We have also chosen Wan Qian...she has already trained in advance at the filming base!"
"...so fast?"
"We are preparing a trilogy together..."
Yang Xiaomi stopped talking...
"The Wandering Earth" is certainly worth it, but "Monster Hunt 2" is not bad either...
…
Oh, with the release of "The Wandering Earth", some critical voices have emerged.
There is even news that "if you change the high star rating to one star for a comment with 5K+ likes on Douban, you can get 1,000 yuan."
It's normal. First of all, hot topics are mixed with too many interest entanglements. These websites and film critics that can be recharged should be used as a reference as much as possible, rather than blindly superstitious.
Secondly, many people really think that '"The Wandering Earth" would be better if it were filmed by foreigners!'
As Liu said, 'Many people take it for granted that Chinese people will be more tolerant of Chinese science fiction movies. On the contrary, Chinese people are much less tolerant of Chinese science fiction movies than Hollywood movies!'
In fact, Douban has become a tool for venting!
Many friends who gave "The Wandering Earth" one star no longer care about the movie to a large extent.
Or they didn't care in the first place.
If you really look at it from the perspective of domestic science fiction, then it is impossible to give it one star no matter what.
Just like five stars is an encouragement to the science fiction film industry and high-quality market trends, one star is actually an explosion of dissatisfaction with oneself.
The one star at this time is actually a kind of anger, a kind of taking sides, and a kind of resistance against the enemy after establishing a relationship between ourselves and the enemy.
You can even say it is the self-impression of some people.
For ordinary movies, just read the reviews.
For movies that are at the forefront of the limelight, don’t go to Douban. The dirty things behind the scenes have been exposed and they have been released in style for you to see!
In addition, many experts also appeared on the stage - the difference between Chinese blockbusters and American blockbusters does not lie in technology and capital, but in the lack of humanistic care and value orientation.
They praised "2012" in various ways. Although in "2012" a one-billion-dollar ticket left 40,000 people in the world's 7 billion people, "The Wandering Earth" just couldn't reduce the population by half at once!
Behind this is the promotion of various capitals...
Again, "The Wandering Earth" has set a benchmark and represents that Chinese filmmakers can produce science fiction works that satisfy Chinese audiences!
The question is, if you are so diligent, how can your colleagues who hope to make money quickly survive?
Once upon a time, what they did was to use popular IP to produce a movie as quickly as possible, and then find a good time to release it to make a fortune. As for whether the audience thinks it is good or not, who cares? Anyway, as long as they make enough money, that's it.
But judging from popular movies such as "Wolf Warrior 2" and "The Wandering Earth", good movies can earn 4 billion or 5 billion at the box office!
Hot money is not a fool, and will never invest money in that kind of movie again...
Try your best to discredit it!
It's useless. As of December 24, "The Wandering Earth" had been in theaters for ten days, with a box office of 2.78 billion. That's right, the next weekend's revenue was 1.02 billion...
This is because the box office of "Bloodline" in the first week was 127 million - although it did not divert much box office, it accounted for a lot of film schedules and screenings!
After all, it is a Jackie Chan movie, and it still gave 28% of the screenings on the first day, which is close to 70,000 screenings!
"The Wandering Earth" is gaining momentum, but no one is doing it well.
Not to mention that the quality of "Blood of the Machine" is not good, even if the quality is acceptable, it is probably not good!
Chapter completed!
