Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Chen Xiao propped up his chin and thought about the script.

There are relatively few localization issues, but they are not absent.

For example, the name of the NASA plan is"Lazarus Project".

Lazarus is a character in the Bible. When he was critically ill, he died before Jesus could save him.

But Jesus affirmed that he would be resurrected. Four days later, Lazarus really walked out of the cave, proving Jesus' miracle.

In the movie, this corresponds to the prediction of the professor of the NASA: humans on Earth will perish, and astronauts will leave the Earth with fertilized eggs to continue human life on other planets.

If we use Chinese historical figures to correspond, who should we use?

Fuxi, Zhurong, Pangu...

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao wrote down two words:

Nuwa.

Although the meaning of destruction is missing, the meaning of creation and salvation is emphasized.

That's about it, it's settled.

Continue!

……

After working on the script from morning to night and then the next morning, he finally finished the simplified version.

The next step was preparation and shooting plan.

Chen Xiao stroked his chin and scanned the script.

The protagonist's family planted corn fields.���

In order to make the filming more realistic, he simply planted 3,000 acres of corn!

He picked up a pen and wrote down on the draft paper next to him: 1. Plant corn.

Corn is planted in the north in early April and harvested in early August.

The four months in between are just right for other preparatory work and shooting other scenes.

Second, it’s still the scene and props.

The main spacecraft must be built in the studio, and the interior of the spacecraft cabin must be constructed. Three artificial robots must also be created, and space suits must be designed... to ensure the realism of the filming.

The third and most important point is music!

If this movie is a king, then the soundtrack can be called the crown on the king’s head! The

80-point atmosphere was raised to 95 points.

With Dacheng’s composing ability, there is no problem in doing it.

In addition to these three points, special effects, casting and other work are also very important.

Chen Xiao yawned, stood up and walked around twice, and came back to continue writing the preparation plan.

……

Just as he was staying at home with his brain spinning rapidly, the top executives of various entertainment companies were also in the conference room, their minds spinning rapidly. In the conference room on the top floor of Youyue Entertainment Company,

Vice President Wang had an ugly expression on his face, and his eyes swept over everyone.

"Arrange someone to ask around, go to Jiahe Diamond, Jiahao Film and Television, go to the Movie Channel, go wherever you can! Find out what Chen Xiao is going to shoot next! If you can't find out, don't shoot a movie!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

Minister Wu nodded like crazy.

His position as minister was about to be lost, so of course whatever his boss said was the truth. He would lower his head as low as he could!

He smiled and said,"Don't worry, if you can't find out, I won't even shoot variety shows anymore. I'll go to farm!"

Not only Youyue Entertainment, but other film and television companies also asked about what Chen Xiao was shooting.

Chen Xiao shoots modern comedies, and they shoot ancient tragedies.

Chen Xiao shoots love, and they shoot family affection.

They would hide as far as they could!

Soon, it was the evening of February 2.

In a private room of a high-end Chinese restaurant in the capital, two middle-aged men were drinking tea and chatting.

One was Li Zhiming, director of the Art Department.

The other looked to be in his early fifties, and was none other than Xu Tao, deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Li Zhiming put down his teacup and asked with a smile,"Old Xu, have you watched Farewell My Concubine? It will be online tonight."

Xu Tao smiled bitterly,"I watched the premiere. It made me regret finding Director Chen. It was too depressing. How come every time he makes a movie, the protagonist always dies in the ending. It can't be like this this time."

Li Zhiming lowered his head and smiled,"It's a tragedy. It's effective only when more people watch it. The ratings of the movie channel were 4.2% and 4.4% respectively in the past two days. I am now looking forward to how much the online broadcast volume can reach."

Just as the two were chatting.

Chen Xiao, led by the receptionist, came to a Chinese-style box in the hotel.

Pushing the door open and walking around the floor-to-ceiling screen, two people appeared in front of him.

When they heard the door open, they turned their heads and looked over.

Chen Xiao said politely:"Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"Director Chen, you are too polite. We came here early to catch up on the past." Li Zhiming smiled and pulled out the rattan chair next to him, waving to Chen Xiao:

"Director Chen, sit down, don't be shy."

After that, he introduced Chen Xiao and Xu Tao to each other.

Chen Xiao and Xu Tao shook hands and sat down.

The three of them chatted for a while, from"Titanic" to"Farewell My Concubine".

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little relaxed, the three of them started to talk about business.

Xu Tao pointed at the table and stated his request.

"Director Chen, Lao Li should have told you about the demand, right? The Ministry of Science and Technology wants to make a film showing the daily life of scientific and technological workers, reflecting their human touch."

"There are two key points."

Li Zhiming raised his head and looked at Xu Tao.

Two points?

Didn't he say one point before, that we need human touch?

Could it be that he missed it?

Xu Tao continued:

"The first is human touch, whether it is family or love. Just break the cold impression of being with machines."

"Second, this is what I added in the past two days. It should have a good ending, not a tragedy, and the protagonist cannot die!"

Director Chen's two movies all have protagonists who died, which really makes him depressed.

Chen Xiao nodded,"No problem."

Seeing that he agreed, Xu Tao smiled with satisfaction.

"Just ask for whatever you need! This time, our two departments will co-produce the film. The technical personnel and workspace will be provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the filming will be led by the Ministry of Culture. There is no requirement for the length of the script, you can write as long as you want."

Chen Xiao nodded.

That's great, I have references for designing aviation uniforms and so on.

"Thank you, Minister Xu."Chen Xiao paused,"Excuse me... When do we start eating?"

Xu Tao was stunned.

I've heard that Director Chen is good at talking, why did he suddenly ask about eating?

Are you hungry?

Li Zhiming didn't think much about it,"About half an hour, this restaurant makes fresh food, and we came early."

""If you two seniors are free, how about we take a look at the script?" As he said that, Chen Xiao took out three stacks of documents from his backpack.

Xu Tao and Li Zhiming were both startled.

How much information did Director Li give before?

You have written the script?

It's only been a few days?

Li Zhiming was surprised and said,"You finished writing the script in ten days?"

"I like to conceive, and I have thought of some stories in my mind before. This story is very consistent with your requirements."

As he said, he handed the script, preparation and shooting plan to the two.

He also designed the decoration of the villa recently and went out for two days.

If you say that he wrote it in these few days, no one will believe it.

Li Zhiming is fine. He has been in contact with Chen Xiao for four months and has adapted to it.

Xu Tao's eyes flashed with surprise.

This guy actually conceived a daily story with scientific and technological personnel as the protagonist?

Did he want to be a scientific and technological personnel before?

Or did he adapt the stories about other professions into scientific and technological personnel?

This operation is a bit... not good, right?

Just as I thought of this, four big words on a stack of documents caught my eye.

《Interstellar"

Zhou Tao's heart skipped a beat.

When he saw these four words, a scene immediately emerged in his mind: in the vast universe, a spaceship was passing through space.

""Interstellar", just four words, gave him three feelings - the vast universe, the insignificance of human beings, and the firmness of will.

After a brief shock, Zhou Tao pursed his lips.

This is probably a science fiction adventure story?

It's not very down-to-earth.

The impression of scientific and technological personnel in the minds of the public is already far away enough, and this is even going to space.

Thinking about it, he didn't say much and raised his hand to open the script.
