Chapter 134 New Project
Chapter 134 New Project (3)
After thinking about it, everyone expressed their understanding of Wang Hao's answer.
Indeed, even military TV series like "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" can be integrated into the "Three-Body" series, so there is naturally no problem with "Wushuang".
And in their opinion, the movie "Wushuang" is really good, especially according to the project plan, the movie will invite big-name stars to join and play the villain "Painter".
Compared to their previous film "Fatal Call", this can be considered a big deal.
After everyone read all the information, they all voted unanimously to pass the project, and Wang Hao finally picked up the last document.
“This is another project, different from ‘Wushuang’, this is a real science fiction film.
But the question now is not whether this movie should be made, but which one should we make first, it or The Legend of Mir 2? "
As Wang Hao held up the script, everyone saw the big words on the cover.
"source code"!
"Source Code" is the fourth project Wang Hao has come up with, and it is also the only science fiction film among the projects.
"This movie actually has some similarities with The Call and The Shallows. It can be regarded as a stream-of-consciousness science fiction film in the same vein as the Labyrinth series."
While everyone was reading the script and project plan, Wang Hao began to introduce the project.
"The characters involved in the project mainly include Shi Qiang and Shu Chang, another Easter egg in "Fatal Call". As for their opponent, according to what we discussed this morning, I think he can be arranged to be a demolition expert of the ETO organization, who can be regarded as a member of the 'gangsters'.
The story is also very simple, it revolves around a train explosion.
The ETO organization wanted to assassinate Chinese scientists, and the special operations team wanted to disrupt their actions, so a head-on confrontation began. "
As Wang Hao spoke, everyone present finished reading the script of "Source Code".
However, after reading the story, just like "Wushuang", the people who read it did not make any comments for a long time and were still immersed in the story.
In fact, if these two stories were put in front of the public separately, given their experience, they would not have such a reaction.
After all, he is a practitioner in the film and television industry, and has seen many good scripts and movies.
But they had just received information about the science fiction movie universe and the "Three-Body" series in the morning. The two scripts in the afternoon immediately opened the curtain of this science fiction epic in front of them. How could this not make people excited and overwhelmed with emotion?
Fortunately, the impact of "Wushuang" just now has given everyone plenty of opportunities to relax, so after expressing their feelings for a while, everyone came back to their senses and gave their own opinions on the questions raised by Wang Hao.
“I think we should shoot Source Code first. Although the story of Warriors is good, I think Source Code is more impactful both in terms of story and visual effects.
After all, this is the first work in our "Three-Body" series, and it is most appropriate to use "Source Code" as the first one."
Zhang Yang was the first to give his opinion, but Wen Pengcheng, the director of the screenwriting department, disagreed.
“I think it’s inappropriate. Although Source Code has a strong storyline, it has some overlaps with The Call.
The two stories have certain similarities, and they are played one after the other, which will cause the audience to have aesthetic fatigue, which is not conducive to the reputation of the film. At that time, there may be negative public opinion that it is out of ideas or rehashing old things. " "I don't think so." Li Qian refuted him: "Although the scripts show that both use subconscious therapy devices and involve dreams, the perception of people when filmed is different."
As a director, Li Qian gave reasons from her own perspective.
"If nothing else, the train explosion scene alone is enough to shock people. This kind of grand scene is not in "Fatal Call"."
"But this also means that the investment amount for Source Code will be huge!"
Ma Ke, the financial director of Galaxy Interactive Entertainment, gave his opinion based on his own identity.
“I read the script and project plan of Source Code, which mentioned high-speed trains and explosions. The overall investment must be quite high.
In addition, of the two previous projects, Lost on Journey may be able to wait, but from what Mr. Wang said, the TV series project may have to be operated at the same time as the film project, and the company's funds will be a little tight by then."
"Don't worry about the money," Wang Hao said at this time, "We have new projects. Huaying will not delay the box office revenue of "Fatal Call". In addition, the TV series "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" is definitely not invested by us alone, and the movie is definitely a collaboration with other companies. Galaxy Interactive Entertainment is still confident in the production fee."
"Then I have no objection."
When Ma Ke heard the boss's answer, he abstained from voting.
Wang Hao then turned his gaze to Liu Cixin and Zhuo Ping, "What do you two think?"
When Liu Cixin saw Wang Hao asking him this, he thought for a moment and said:
“As a writer, I don’t know how to make a movie.
But I understand creation. Generally speaking, the development of a story is best done step by step.
Source Code has a grand scale and is a science fiction film. After watching Source Code, the audience may feel a sense of disparity when watching Warriors of the West: The Last Airbender. "
Wang Hao couldn't help but nodded when he heard that.
What Liu Cixin said makes sense. It is like eating sugarcane. If you start eating from the middle, then the first bite will be like licking, and the rest will become bland.
But if you eat it from the beginning, every bite will be sweet.
And with Liu Cixin casting his vote for "Wushuang", the first film in the "Three-Body" series seems to have been confirmed.
"Okay, that's settled then. Let's shoot 'Wushuang' first!" Wang Hao slammed the table and said, "We will start the relevant preparations now and try to have it released during the National Day holiday, and then 'Lost on Journey' will take over."
“It just so happens that the special effects for The Legend of Mir 3 don’t have that many. Zhang Yang, you can prepare for the special effects for Source Code while you’re filming The Legend of Mir 3.
After we finish filming "Wushuang", we will shoot "Source Code".
With the addition of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", the "Three-Body" series has also gained momentum."
With Wang Hao's decision and everyone nodding in agreement, the second phase of the science fiction movie universe officially kicked off at this moment.
