Chapter 203 1.3 billion total investment, Huaguo’s super-A masterpiece!

Qindao.

Oriental Cinema.

Studio 5.

Guo Fan wore sunglasses and walked beside a temporary desk, surrounded by members of the director team and staff from the set and props team.

"The A07C098 set of shots has been rendered and has obvious flaws. He doesn't want to repeat yesterday's mistakes. As the old saying goes, everyone needs to be careful and careful before shooting to make sure everything is foolproof. OK?"

He had a tense face, faintly showing a chill, and warned in a deep voice.

"No problem, Director Guo!"

"The prop team guarantees to complete the mission!"

Several people present patted their chests and said.

"Go ahead, come on!"

Guo Fan swung his legs as a habit to boost morale.

"Director, the boss's car is almost at the gate."

An assistant wearing a peaked cap came over and reminded me.

"Well, let the assistant director keep an eye on him while he goes out."

Guo Fan explained.

After saying that, he put on a black down jacket and walked out of the studio. The biting sea breeze blew in his face, and he couldn't help but tighten his collar.

"Master, take him to the front gate of the cinema."

Guo Fan walked a hundred meters, found a shuttle bus, and said politely.

"Okay, Director Guo, come here quickly, it's very windy outside."

The master greeted warmly.

"The Wandering Earth" is a science fiction masterpiece with a billion investment. After entering the movie theater, it was easily treated as a guest. A group of electric cars were specially arranged and given to the crew for free.

"Director Guo, wait for him. Is Mr. Chen here?"

Wu Jin slipped out of the studio and chased after him and asked.

"That's right."

Guo Fan smiled slightly and consciously made room for him.

"Hehe, he will accompany me to greet him."

Wu Jin jumped up and jumped onto the car.

"Master, let's go."

After Guo Fan saw that he was walking steadily, he urged the driver.

"Director Guo, don't be too nervous. Mr. Chen has always been generous and will never blame me because the filming progress is slow."

Wu Jin saw Guo Fan rubbing the palms of his legs continuously, and could see the uneasiness in Guo Fan's heart at a glance.

"It's not that I'm afraid of taking responsibility, but I don't want to let down my boss's trust. That movie took a year to prepare, but two-thirds of the work was completed within four months of shooting.

Tan Hong said, feeling guilty!

Faced with financial pressure, difficulties in filming and post-production, he strives to do his best so that he can repay his boss for his support."

Guo Fan couldn't help but confide.

"The box office of "The God of Medicine" was 3.34 billion, which shows that the foreign market is enough to accommodate 3 billion-level movies. I heard that Mr. Chen has negotiated overseas distribution channels. Don't think about it all day long. "Wandering Star" will definitely be a success.

!”

Wu Jin grinned and comforted with gentle words.

"Take good care of every step, and hope it turns out to be everything you want."

Guo Fan raised his fist and bumped it with Wu Jin, regaining his high fighting spirit.

After a while, the shuttle bus stopped at the gate of the cinema.

"I guess it's not here yet?"

Wu Jin looked around and didn't see any of the crew's work vehicles.

The two of them nestled in the corner, stood on the east eaves, took out a packet of Huazi Tengyun and started puffing, and waited patiently.

"Coming."

Guo Fan threw away the cigarette butt, stamped it out with his foot, and then bumped Wu Jin with his shoulder.

He saw a red commercial vehicle approaching. He walked to the middle of the road and waved his leg to the driver.

"Director Guo, I feel quite haggard. It was a hard time."

Chen Heyu rolled up the car window and glanced in the wrong direction. His face was not covered with a scrawled beard, and the dark circles and bags under his eyes were particularly serious.

Obviously, filming is not an easy job!

"Hello boss!"

Guo Fan said with a smile.

"Wow!"

Wu Jin opened the car door, pushed Guo Fan in the car, and then said: "Let's talk after we get back to the set."

"Mr. Chen, it will take about two months to complete the project."

Guo Fan was behind the car and walking in the back row, speaking seriously.

"Work slowly and carefully, don't be in a hurry."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

In this life, the filming period of "The Wandering Earth" was five months, and the post-production period was about seven months. Counting the preliminary preparation time, it took Ye Yi more than 1,400 days to complete the film.

At that time, the crew hired aerospace science consultants to build a 60,000-square-meter studio, a 20,000-square-meter prop production workshop, and 117 sci-fi main scenes. It took only one year, and it was already considered an efficient deployment.

.

In fact, the process is inseparable from Chen Heyu’s financial and technical support.

5896 concept design drawings!

12542 shot drawings!

Without the support of Moss AI Painting 2.0 and 3.0 software, as well as future technology engineers, it would have taken at least two years to rely solely on the production's art team.

"Mr. Chen, the crew is in Oriental Cinemas. Yeyi has 13 workshops, 17 studios, and more than 1,000 permanent staff.

Moreover, sixty kilometers away, they rented an abandoned old airport to use as a training base for the movie. There were seven cameras overseas responsible for shooting scene materials..."

Guo Fan said calmly.

"Director Guo, what's the difference between making a science fiction movie and "My Deskmate"?"

Chen Heyu raised his eyes and asked.

"It was more difficult than he imagined. The next time Liu came to visit the crew, he asked him, what is his ideal science fiction film? How did he answer?"

Guo Fan said without thinking, it seemed that he was really under a lot of pressure.

"Oh? Tell me about it? I heard that I had a bad deal with him, and we easily got 200,000 box lunches."

Chen Heyu crossed his arms and said enthusiastically.

Not long ago, entertainment news reported that Liu, the novelist of "The Wandering Earth", was invited to visit the set and forced to take away 200,000 Chinese dollars to provide extra meals for the staff.

"Hey! It was all written by unscrupulous media. Liu admired their attitude towards doing things, so he was willing to pay for it himself.

Teacher Liu said that an excellent science fiction film should be like a future documentary, with a strong sense of reality."

Guo Fan scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"His Minghong is equivalent to creating a new world. From social sciences to natural sciences, each field has a small framework and needs to be filled with detailed content.

From ordinary people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, culture and entertainment, social economy, medical education, psychological state, to fashion trends, the development and research level of various disciplines, everything must be considered carefully to give people a sense of reality."

Chen Heyu concluded with a smile.

"No, without the special effects of the Mossie movie, it would be impossible to do anything.

That software is really great and saves a lot of time for the crew. The visual effects director invites the technicians sent by Future Technology every day to discuss the implementation plan of the special effects scene."

Guo Fan couldn't help but praise.

Conventional film special effects processing requires the use of ultra-high-performance computer equipment and renderers. Each frame requires seven or eight hours. The more than 6,000 shots of "Wandering Planet" require about 40,000 hours.

That means using a special effects company, which will take five years for post-production, and it is very important to ensure that the machine does not freeze or render failure occurs.

Moss AI movie special effects don't have that kind of worry. It can complete the scene and prop modeling step by step, and retrieve and generate them at will, so that every shot will not be wasted.

It greatly improves post-production time and reduces workload.

"Please know, that software has been sold to Hollywood. Half of the world's top special effects production companies have purchased Moss Ai Film Special Effects Enterprise Edition.

Overseas, the film that uses AI special effects on such a large scale is "The Wandering Earth"."

Chen Heyu said proudly.

The Chinese film industry is obsessed with comedies, romance and chick flicks. Even if some movies require special effects, they only have a few shots.

It's not as scary as "Wandering Earth", with more than 6,000 special effects clips of large scenes, which is more than twice that of the original version.

That will give him the confidence to conquer Haolaiwu and sail into the overseas film market.

A few minutes later, the car stopped and came east.

A group of people walked into the studio, and Chen Heyu discovered that the scene outside the room was exactly the set on the moon.

It was completely gray, with a lunar rover cockpit, a heavy-duty engineering vehicle, and a mechanical dog placed in the center.

The cockpit of the lunar rover is a big thing. Guo Fan introduced that it is called a "six degrees of freedom parallel robot" and is used to simulate the movement of the lunar rover.

9 meters long, 4 meters wide, made of steel and glass, with a total weight of 30 tons, equivalent to three 10-ton trucks fully loaded with goods!

Seeing this, Chen Heyu nodded with satisfaction.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

"Hello boss!"

"Mr. Chen!"

Seeing Chen Heyu walking in, the filming staff looked at the assistant director and gave an order with a "click", and everyone stopped what they were doing and said hello.

"Brother Hua, are you used to it?"

Chen Heyu held Wong's leg and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for making his science fiction dream come true. He was greatly shocked by the industrialized shooting techniques. Please continue to use him in the Eastern Department, and he is willing to do so without asking for remuneration."

Liu Dehua said excitedly.

I completely forgot that I had filmed "Wesley's Blue Bloods" and "Future Cop". Compared with "The Wandering Earth", the former is indeed not a science fiction movie.

"This is not the dream of Chinese filmmakers. Shanhai Film and Television is fully prepared for the plan of simultaneous global screening.

He will hand over the overseas distribution rights of "The Wandering Star" to Le'an International, and Jiang Zhiqiang will contact BeiBerry's publicity and distribution channels and theater chains, and establish a brand for Chinese science fiction movies in one fell swoop."

Chen Heyu raised his voice and said loudly on purpose.

Global distribution?

Is Northernberry showing?

Not to mention the ordinary crew members, even actors like Liu Dehua, Wu Jin, and Wang Zhi were fascinated by it for a while.

Who doesn’t want to enter Haolaiwu?

"Mr. Chen, how much investment will be made in promoting the Northberry market?"

King Liu Tian asked tentatively.

"$50 million!"

Chen Heyu replied directly.

Everyone present was immediately confused as to whether the filming cost of "Wandering Earth" could actually be 1 billion Chinese dollars. Although 300 million yuan was a special effects production cost and went into Chen Heyu's pocket, but if the crew could be asked to contact other special effects companies.

6,000 special effects shots cannot be obtained without 600-800 million Chinese dollars.

After all, an S-level special effects lens costs US$200,000 in 5 to 7 seconds. Who can afford that?

Including the publicity and distribution costs abroad and in North America, the investment in "Wandering Earth" reached 1.3 billion Chinese dollars, and the box office cost of at least 3.5 billion was barely repaid.

After conversion, the cost exceeds 200 million U.S. dollars. Looking at Hollywood, it is still an A-level masterpiece!

Suddenly, a group of people took a deep breath, impressed by the arrogance of Shanhai Film and Television.
