Chapter 134 133: Movie Revolution! Unprecedented!

Chapter 134: 133 Revolution of Movies! Unprecedented!

"Wen Mingxing, let's play the 2035 version of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy again, and then feel the unprecedented shock again."

"Okay." Wen Xing said.

Then, a huge virtual screen unfolds.

A movie that can be recorded in film history, played from the beginning.

Wang Huan was mesmerized once again, and once again received an unprecedented shock.

………………

To be honest, filming "The Three-Body Problem" was indeed hell-level difficulty.

The six giants in Hollywood have already made it clear and clear.

It is extremely difficult to change this work.

"World of Warcraft" is already a world-renowned super IP, and there is no shortage of protagonists who can make the audience feel emotional. Although there are many protagonists, Thrall, Illidan, Arthas, Sylvanaras, even King Varian, whoever you pull out, can be the protagonist of a certain movie.

But it also has great difficulty in changing, because these plots are too closely connected up and down, and there is a causal relationship with each other, but the historical span is too long and too long.

If you start filming from the beginning of history, there is no suitable protagonist.

I started filming from the wonderful protagonist, but found that there were too many plots in front of me that I couldn't explain.

After several years of operation, the first movie of "Warcraft" has been completed. Although there are various shortcomings and some complaints, it is still a well-finished movie after all.

However, this movie hit the street, and the global box office has hardly recovered its cost, and basically there will be no second one.

The difficulty of changing "Three-Body" is even higher than that of "Warcraft".

In another world, a company once bought the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" and filmed the first part.

As a result, after a very high-level leader went to see the finished film, the film was immediately sealed up and not released.

It's useless to make up shots or add shots.

After that, "The Wandering Earth" achieved a box office of more than five billion yuan with a super high degree of completion. This year became the first year of Chinese science fiction movies.

But to be honest, the plot in the movie "The Wandering Earth" is still very, very different from the original novel.

Of course, the movie inherits the spiritual core and setting of the novel, as well as the grand world view, but other than that, the related characters and plot have almost no relationship anymore.

The Wandering Earth novel is short, but the story is shocking, and the time span is not short.

The movie "The Wandering Earth" is more like intercepting a certain period of time in the novel, and then adapting this gap to fill in its own story, so it has a very complete story.

But... "The Three-Body Problem" is difficult to adapt in this way.

At least the first Three-Body Problem couldn't do that.

Because the original novel of the first Three-Body Problem has a story with a high degree of integrity, and it can't even change the plot.

It's not that Wang Huan has never thought of making "The Wandering Earth", which can also receive huge praise and a huge box office success.

But... tell the truth.

"The Wandering Earth" should be regarded as a pawn of "Three-Body Problem" in science fiction movies, and it is used to accumulate experience.

"The Three-Body Problem" is the king of Chinese science fiction.

It's just that this Wang Zha is really too difficult.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so many years, and none of the real giants dared to make a movie about it.

As a result, Netflix in the United States bought its copyright and made a TV series.

In another world, until 2021, there is no real movie coming out.

In the future history learned by the Tower of Doomsday.

Wang Huan knew that in the following decades, many versions of "Three-Body Problem" were filmed.

If you only talk about the box office, basically they have achieved great success.

but……

In terms of word-of-mouth and completion, almost all of the versions were scolded.

All very unsatisfactory.

It was not until 2035 that the most perfect "Three-Body" trilogy really appeared.

This version, whether it is the screen, the lineup, or the script structure, completion, etc., has reached the limit.

It is also this version of the "Three-Body" trilogy that really conquered the world.

It's this edition of the trilogy that really beats the Hollywood masterpiece head-on.

In the mid-2020s, the domestic box office market of Chinese films surpassed that of the United States.

But the global box office has always lagged far behind the United States.

Almost no film can compete with Hollywood, even if China's GDP has surpassed that of the United States and become the world's number one.

Until the three-body problem in 2035.

It really beat Hollywood blockbusters head-on in the global market.

Therefore, this version of "Three-Body Problem" has become an extremely important work in the future Chinese film history, even in the world film history.

And this version of "Three-Body Problem" adopts a very bold adaptation method.

The first part, the adaptation is not large.

In the second part, the adaptation is a little bolder, but it still follows the character structure in it, and still completely follows the timeline and world framework in the book, but it has already begun to add stories.

The third part, the adaptation is the most daring. It still follows the world framework, worldview, and timeline in the book, but many stories and characters have been recreated. But there is one thing, it must have the soul of "Three-Body Problem", and it will definitely not violate the timeline and cause-and-effect relationship inside.

This is very risky behavior.

However, in the end it was successful, and it was a great success.

This edition of the trilogy took a total of more than four years.

It has almost brought down three investors successively, spent the budget again and again, fooled the filmmakers who really love time and time again, tricked them into the crew and said cameo, and then turned into a starring role inexplicably, and finally turned into an investment inexplicably business.

In this way, the entire trilogy cost 4.5 billion RMB.

Compared with the original plan of 1.6 billion, it has almost tripled.

And the total duration of the entire trilogy is close to 11 hours.

This is a very exaggerated length. Generally speaking, a movie is about 100 minutes, even "Avengers 4" is only 182 minutes.

There are even some movies, which obviously only have one, but are desperately injected with water, and then divided into two parts.

It was the first time I played this way, and I cheated a lot of box office. (It's you, "Red Cliff")

The second time I played like this, it was completely over, and I was crying and howling, obviously the movie was okay.

The longer a movie is, the more it affects the box office, because there are fewer shows that can be played.

And this version of the "Three-Body" trilogy has an average of more than 200 minutes each, which is twice as long as other movies.

Therefore, the thinking of the film and investors at that time was that.

Forget it, let it go.

Anyway, we are head-to-head.

It took a total of more than four years to shoot, and experienced countless difficulties and tortures in the middle. Now that it is released, I am relieved.

Whether it is life or death, stretching your head and shrinking your head is also a knife.

I just won’t cut it, and if your publisher forces me, I won’t cut it either.

As a result, it was a great success.

Unexpected success.

It broke all the previous box office records, and set the previous records far, far away.

That was 2035, and the Chinese film market was already saturated, and the market size had not increased for several years.

It's not like before 2020, because of the rapid development of the market, a film broke out inexplicably.

A record unexpectedly appeared that made everyone unexpected.

For example, inexplicably, a small-budget comedy broke out more than one billion at the box office and became the box office champion of domestic films.

Immediately afterwards, another fantasy film of average quality broke out, directly costing more than two billion yuan.

Immediately afterwards, a Wolf Warrior 25.68 billion.

Then, a "Nezha" animation movie directly soared to 5 billion.

The entire film market is full of miracles, constantly refreshing people's cognition.

But the miracles almost stopped after a few years.

Until 2035, this version of "The Three-Body Problem" is the one that most restores the essence of the Three-Body Problem, but in a certain way, the story is the most daring Three-Body Problem.

Therefore, to some extent, the Chinese are definitely not complacent.

Look at "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha Devil Boy Comes into the World", which one doesn't have a huge adaptation?

But you can't change it randomly, you need a strong spiritual core.

………………

Therefore, Wang Huan directly adopted the 2035 version of the "Three-Body" trilogy that was recorded in history.

Of course, its script is used, and the original film cannot be taken away directly.

Then according to this version, shoot again.

This is also an extremely huge project.

What about the... stunts?

This is the hardest and most difficult part of the movie, and the entire trilogy, almost two-thirds of the time, has stunts.

According to the current level of the Chinese film industry, it is impossible to do it at all.

Even if Wang Huan doesn't care about the cost, he spends money crazily.

The effect made is also a lot worse than Hollywood.

After all, this is not 2020. At that time, the level of special effects in China was considered good. Some of the special effects of many Hollywood movies were outsourced to Chinese companies.

It's 2005, and the stunts are really... unspeakable.

Basically, movies that require special effects are produced by foreign companies.

But Wang Huan has already said that he will never find a foreign company, and all the work will be done in China.

Therefore, he will acquire a stunt company, and then recruit the best talents in the country to perform stunt production.

But... that's not enough.

The effect that comes out is probably more than ten years behind Hollywood.

Such a film effect will become the laughing stock of the world.

At that time, it will be handed over to the Tower of Doomsday for final rendering.

Or, directly buy the artificial intelligence in the Tower of Doomsday, as well as computer special effects software, and come to the real world.

In short, it is to transfer the future technology in the Tower of Doomsday to the real world little by little.

The end result is.

The technology company founded by Wang Huan can really complete the world's top special effects production.

He knew the history of another world.

2016 was the first year of VR, the first year of virtual reality, and then it was completely silent for several years.

Until the release of the game "Half-Life: Alex", virtual reality was activated again and became a new era.

After that, under the impetus of several giant companies, virtual reality developed extremely rapidly.

In just a decade or so, the entire world of entertainment has been changed.

And virtual reality has promoted the rapid development of computer graphics technology, three-dimensional stereo and other technologies.

Because the games in VR have more realistic and delicate graphics than PC and console games.

Therefore, the game process of "Half-Life: Alex" is only a few hours, and the map is relatively small, but the game size is 50G.

And a hundred years later.

The production of the virtual world is completely proficient.

It is completely indistinguishable from the real world, and there are fool-like software and countless elements. Even a novice can create an extremely real virtual world, let alone movie stunts.

So this time, Wang Huan not only wants to shoot a movie that shocks the world.

He also has to use his own power to directly push China's film industry to a whole new level, an astonishing level.

……………………

3D movies existed a long time ago.

But the movie that really promoted 3D movies thoroughly, and made them so hot, and even promoted the movie market and the development of IMAX theaters, is James Cameron's "Avatar".

This is also a movie that can be recorded in history, not an artistic achievement, but also a technical achievement.

Amazing IMAX frame, and a completely virtual planet world, as well as excellent 3D stereoscopic effect.

Audiences all over the world were crazy about it.

Some viewers even travel thousands of miles to first-tier cities just to experience the effects of IMAX3D.

So at that time, the real IMAX theater in China actually raised the ticket price to 160 yuan, and there were still people queuing up outside.

Standing in line to buy movie tickets, this kind of thing can happen.

And at that time, the IMAX theater was eager to play continuously 24 hours a day, which caused a malfunction, so the manager of the theater knelt down and apologized.

Some people even shouted that "Avatar" is a revolution in the film industry.

That is, this movie directly soared China's movie box office record from 400 million to 1.4 billion yuan.

The world box office record soared directly from US$1.8 billion to US$2.7 billion.

The U.S. box office record rose to $760 million.

However, this movie was released in 2009.

That's a pity!

This film revolution may not be Kashen's turn.

Wang Huan's "Three-Body Problem" trilogy will create this revolution.

Even more violent and crazier.

The stunts will be more amazing with the help of futuristic technology in tower of doom.

The plot will be more shocking.

3D effects, the shock of IMAX, and so on, all of them.

In short, an unprecedented film revolution is about to be born.

It is to hype the effect of the previous "Avatar".

This is a brand-new visual revolution, this is an epic masterpiece, and this is an epoch-making work that subverts the history of film.

Why don't you come in and take a look?

And the hype cost this time should be much lower than that of "Avatar".

Because this film has not yet started shooting, it is already famous all over the world.

As long as you watch TV, surf the Internet, or read newspapers, it is impossible not to know about the astonishing bet between Wang Huan and the President of the United States.

Moreover, the "Three-Body Problem" novel is selling like crazy all over the world.

In comparison, "Avatar" is a brand new IP, relying entirely on the reputation of Kashen.

So after that, another super IP broke the US box office record of "Avatar", that is "Star Wars The Force Awakens".

The global box office record was also broken by another big IP, "Avengers 4: Endgame".

Because of the crazy hype of several major events, "Three-Body" has a more amazing popularity than another one in history, even a geometric multiple magnification.

It has also become a super big IP.

So, let me break out this super movie revolution! !

………………

Next!

Wang Huan registered a film company, and for the sake of convenience, he directly bought one, which cost him 30 million.

Next, he spent another 20 million to acquire a film and television special effects production company, and recruited nationwide.

The salary was three times the average salary in the industry, the number of recruits exceeded 300, and the company's per capita salary exceeded 10,000.

Ten thousand yuan in 2005 was amazing.

In other words, the movie cost almost hundreds of millions before filming started.

After more than two full months.

Finally, the company framework was barely set up.

Then, Wang Huan officially held a press conference.

"The crew of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy has been formally established."

"Trilogy films, the first investment is 1.5 billion yuan, there is no upper limit!"

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.

1.5 billion RMB investment? !

This... this... this is crazy.

Now the largest investment in Chinese films is "Curse of the Golden Flower", which claims to be 360 ​​million. It hasn't been released yet, so I don't know how it will work out.

And you actually want to invest 1.5 billion, which is crazy.

How can it be used up?

But in the film industry now, the so-called investment amount is all water injection, and it's all just bragging.

But... Wang Huan is the real 1.5 billion.

He took out all the royalties from the "Three-Body" trilogy.

In another history, Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem" sold more than 20 million copies in total.

Thanks to the occurrence of so many major events, coupled with the crazy hype effect and public opinion effect.

The sales volume of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy in this world is much, much higher.

In addition, European and American books are super expensive, one book is 35 US dollars, and the royalties for the first book are 12%, and the royalties for the second and third books have increased a little.

Therefore, the royalties that Wang Huan earned were astronomical figures, even after paying the taxes, they were also astronomical figures.

Because people all over the world think that this is a money-losing movie, Wang Huan is not difficult to be a human being. He does not ask for any investment and is a sole proprietor.

Next, is to build a group.

Very well, but also very badly.

The success was due to the fact that all the professionals flocked to the show, wanting to join Wang Huan's "Three-Body Problem" crew.

The country's best props, lighting, production and so on.

Brokerage companies across the country are desperately trying to get actors into Wang Huan's crew.

All the film and television bases in the country sent faxes, and even the person in charge came to see Wang Huan, asking Wang Huan to go to their film and television bases to shoot.

All the abrasive tool manufacturers crowded in front of Wang Huan's company every day, unwilling to leave.

Because this project is too big, countless people want to make money and fame in it.

If it doesn't go well, choose an assistant director.

Because the film is so big, I don't know how many assistant directors are needed.

Because Wang Huan wanted to make this movie the best, all the top directors in China were invited.

but……

The targets he invited, almost without exception, all declined.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Wang Huan. I have a schedule, but I really don't have time. Thank you very much for your invitation."

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Wang Huan, I'm not in good health recently, I want to rest for a while, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Sorry, I'm studying abroad and I won't be going back in a short time."

All first-class directors from China to Xiangjiang rejected Wang Huan.

Because the relationship of this movie is too big.

Moreover, the slogan Wang Huan yelled was too big, claiming to destroy the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy.

They feel unreliable and doomed to fail.

And once it fails, Wang Huan will take responsibility, and they may also take responsibility.

There is another key reason.

The big domestic directors have relatively "advanced" thinking, so they don't like Wang Huan from the bottom of their hearts.

I especially don't like Wang Huan's confrontation with the United States every day.

Of course, there are also very leftist directors in China, who are full of idealism and are very good.

But that big director is very domineering.

Most of the movies in his hands will become his works, even if he is just an actor.

There used to be such a film "Looking for a Gun", the director Jiang was just an actor, and the director was Lu Mou.

Jiang looked at it and said that it was wrong for you to shoot like this, and it was wrong for you to shoot like that.

Forget it, you go aside, let me come!

So it is completely impossible to make him a deputy.

The search for a famous director as a deputy failed completely.

But the top producers managed to find several of them, all of whom were the most professional.

In the end, Wang Huan found an assistant director by name as an assistant.

Almost completely unknown, despite being an associate director on Divorced the Chinese Style.

But in the film industry, I don't have any reputation, let alone experience in any big productions.

This person's name is Ning Hao, and his first education is a technical secondary school. He currently graduated from the Department of Photography of Beijing Film Academy.

As soon as the news came out.

The public opinion circle was once again in an uproar.

Hahaha!

You, Wang Huan, invited so many professional directors before, but all of them were rejected.

No matter if you are from the mainland or a big director from Xiangjiang, they all rejected you.

About fifteen well-known directors successively rejected Wang Huan's invitation and were unwilling to become his deputy.

Even if you can't find the top ones, you can still find second-tier directors.

For such a big production, with so much money invested, it shouldn't be difficult to find a second-tier director to be the assistant director.

You don't need to find such a crooked melon and cracked dates.

Technical secondary school students, adult students.

No independent school has ever produced any decent film and television drama.

You, Wang Huan, have never made any films, have you, nor have you studied film shooting.

Therefore, the so-called assistant director may be the real director.

No wonder all the big directors before rejected you, because they were afraid that they would not be able to take responsibility.

So now you actually found such a technical secondary school student, an adult student?

That is to say, this big production with an investment of 1.5 billion was completely filmed by him alone?

Crazy, just crazy.

This is like throwing 1.5 billion into the water.

You should at least find a Beijing Film Academy, or an undergraduate or master student who has graduated from the Central Academy of Drama to be your assistant director.

This movie is definitely going to be cool! The only suspense now is how bad it will be.

……………………………

After wasting all his efforts, Wang Huan finally found enough assistant directors and producers.

Before the actors were recruited, the entire production team had already exceeded several hundred people.

Before the filming of this movie started, it was already costing money like water.

The best costumes, the best music, the best lighting, the best props, everything is the best.

No cost at all.

In addition to the director, other professional talents flocked.

Because you can make money, you don't need to bear the cost.

For music production alone, two masters Hu Weili and Gu Jiahui were found, and Zuo Ling also joined the group to study.

Costumes and props are all the top talents in the industry.

For the action production, Yuan Baye's team was not enough, and two other action teams were recruited.

The next step is to find actors.

The first actor to be cast was the superstar Lin Bing, who would play the heroine Ye Wenjie.

Of course, it was obviously an interview for an actor, but somehow the interview went to the bed again.

"Is this an unspoken rule?" Lin Bing asked with a smile.

Wang Huan said: "You obviously enjoy it so much, but I am the one who suffers."

Then Wang Huan said: "What I owe you, pay it back now."

Because, in order to help Wang Huan, Lin Bing lost two Hollywood film contracts.

Now, Wang Huan gave her the heroine of a world-class masterpiece.

Lin Bing said: "It's enough for you to pay me one yuan."

Wang Huan said: "Nonsense, I obviously gave you billions."

"Bah!" Lin Bing spat: "You took advantage of my safe period to mess around, if you get pregnant, what will you do?"

Wang Huan said, "I'll give you 20 million for the film salary."

Lin Bing said seriously: "It's really not necessary, I'm willing to charge one dollar."

Wang Huan said: "This film has a very big mission, but the more it is like this, the more it cannot be morally kidnapped, otherwise it will destroy the film ecology."

Wang Huan hates a certain film ecology in another world.

There is a kind of movie, crowned with a high-ranking name, with countless stars, filmed with extremely low pay.

So movies don’t have a good script, just watch hundreds of stars show their faces, and then make a lot of money.

Even if it's a gift movie, it's time to find the most professional actors, the best script, and the best attitude to shoot it.

Therefore, Wang Huan's movie will definitely not be a star-studded movie, let alone a traffic star.

We will definitely find the most professional and excellent actors.

Then, give the most appropriate remuneration.

Absolutely not because this is a mission-filled movie to conduct moral kidnapping, and then let countless stars come to guest appearances, giving people a symbolic salary.

This is a normal movie, and you can give as much as you want.

Lin Bing said: "I understand, this is the allusion of Zi Gong's redemption, then I will collect the 20 million yuan, and treat it as the maintenance fee for sleeping with me so many times."

Damn, you woman can really say anything.

Wang Huan said, "How much is it once?"

Lin Bing said: "I am an international actress, at least one thousand yuan is needed."

My God, a thousand dollars a time.

20 million, at least 20,000 sleeps?

It will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

At this time, Lin Bing said: "Come here, I will charge you so much money, I want meat... I will pay you, come again."

And at this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and a very familiar and cheerful and excited voice sounded.

"Wang Huan, open the door quickly, I know you are inside."

"I'm in closed training, and I sneaked out to find you, are you surprised?"

Wang Huan shuddered suddenly, because outside the door was Bai Xue, the diving queen, who had always regarded herself as Wang Huan's genuine girlfriend.

……………………………

Note: The plot of the movie will not be written in detail, and will be roughly skipped. I went to eat, and I was dizzy due to hypoglycemia, and then I wrote the second update. I still strive for around 11 o'clock.

Benefactors, do you still have a monthly pass? It's really dangerous, please help me!
