Chapter 572 Exclusive Interview
Chapter 572 Exclusive Interview
Guo Fan responded, "It is too early to define it as a success. The Wandering Earth has only achieved phased results. For the support of the audience, we film practitioners should tread carefully and produce more and better content. This is my current feeling."
The Global People reporter then asked the next question. Although the content of the interview was not disclosed to the interviewee in every question, the general direction was definitely communicated. The reporter consciously led the topic in the direction of the original author.
It's not that the mention of Gu Lu's name will make this article more popular. After all, writers can't compare with the entertainment industry, which relies on traffic to make a living. It's just that the mention of Gu Lu's name and a few words of praise will make it easier to pass the manuscript.
Just like when a political question asks about the economy, you can always get a lot of points by responding with "common prosperity, scientific development concept, ecological civilization, and sustainable development path". Gu Lu is also a panacea in reporting.
For example: Is there anyone you want to thank, what are your thoughts on the changes to the original work, etc.
It turned out that Director Guo was most grateful to the special effects staff, those who could not appear in the cast and crew list.
"What was the most difficult part in filming The Wandering Earth?" the reporter added, "Although The Wandering Earth was only released eight days ago, judging from the credits, all post-production was done by domestic special effects companies, which shouldn't have been easy."
The overall production cycle took more than a year, and more than a dozen companies joined the Wandering Earth project.
Some netizens even said that "the company he joined basically survives on this project." Guo Fan has very high requirements for quality, but his price is only above average in the industry. I don't know if what the netizens said is true.
Anyway, netizens commented that "The Wandering Earth opens the door to Chinese science fiction." On the one hand, this refers to the quality of the movie, and on the other hand, it is a national product.
"The difficulty is not the perfection of a single shot, but the batch production of many stunning visual effects shots within a given time." Guo Fan said, "Film industrialization is a necessary preparation. We are temporarily behind in this regard, but we still have a chance to catch up, that is, the development of the currently popular artificial intelligence technology. As film creators, we should start our own exploration and application in an all-round way and use artificial intelligence to achieve industrialization."
How should I put it? The fact that Guo Fan was able to make The Wandering Earth shows that he has put some thought into movies and his words are meaningful, unlike many current traffic stars who seem to have an empty head.
"So Director Guo, has The Wandering Earth 2 been approved?" the reporter asked, "What are Director Guo's plans for next?"
“I just had a conversation with Mr. Guo Dafa from Flatland Culture yesterday,” Guo Fan shared.
He went on to say, “Next, I will launch the [Little Moss Project] in Fog City with Mr. Guo. Regarding this… the big boss is also very supportive.”
Guo Fan's mentality was exactly the opposite of that of the reporter. He felt that Mr. Gu Lu usually participated in national tasks, such as replacing giant pandas as gifts, or representing Chinese youth. As for the trivial matters in their film industry, it is better not to talk about tiger skins. Therefore, he deliberately avoided it, and when he really had to mention it, he would call him "big boss".
"One of them is a science fiction film training camp, and the first training session will start in February next year. In addition, the copyright of the short story collection "The Wandering Earth" will be open to outstanding students in the form of profit sharing."
"Wonderful stories such as "Rural Teacher", "Take Her Eyes", "Supporting God", "Supporting Humanity", "Hearing the Truth in the Morning" and so on are expected to be adapted into films and TV series. At the same time, Ping Ping Guo Culture and China Film Group will provide financial support. In addition, there will be seven or eight excellent visual effects companies connecting with us by then."
It is difficult for newcomers in the entertainment industry to stand out, even if you have talent. Unless your talent is enough to stand out, what is Ying? Ying refers to the round tip at the end of the knife handle. It is not the tip of the knife sticking out of the bag, but the talent overflowing.
But there are too few people like this. However, Guo Fan's [Little Moss Project] is to build a bridge.
Although the "Global People" interview did not directly mention the hot man, discussion among netizens was unavoidable.
For example, when this article was posted on the Internet, Guo Fan and many movie stars forwarded it on their social media accounts. Netizens praised Guo Fan, saying that he was a person who respected technology and understood the film industry.
The fifth generation of directors only cared about awards and not box office when making movies. The sixth generation of directors cared a little about box office but preferred to shoot marginalized people. Now the seventh generation of directors represented by Ning Hao finally value box office and are willing to shoot commercial movies. Of course, Ning Hao went astray later, but that is another story.
I just feel that there are directors who are taking this seriously and developing the public's demand for commercial films.
I believe that everyone is tired of seeing ordinary netizens’ comments, so let’s find something different.
Netizen "非唐就糖" forwarded a message that the second-in-command of Dukou District expressed his views on the economic development of the district in a public speech. A sentence was excerpted from the speech: "Dukou District is lucky to have Gu Lu."
Some netizens agree, a larger number don't feel the same, and a small number disagree. Of course, the vast majority of netizens who disagree are not from the ferry area, or even from the foggy city.
Opponents said, "Why is Dukou District called Dukou District? In the late Qing Dynasty, the area south of the Yangtze River was called Nan Da Dukou, and the area north of the Yangtze River was called Bei Da Dukou. Bei Da Dukou was the first of the dozens of miles of ferry along the river, hence the name Dukou. Such places have been famous since the founding of the People's Republic of China. They have also produced many sports celebrities. And I found out that Dukou now has a permanent population of 350,000. As an old place, it can't be said that Dukou District is lucky to have Gu Lu. It's not a big deal!"
Probably that's it.
Now it's time to bring up the old story of Tang Jutang again.
[The second in command of the Ferry District said: The Ferry District is lucky to have Gu Lu.
Many people opposed this a few days ago, but as a person from the Ferry District, I want to say that this is absolutely correct.
The "Small Moss Project" mentioned by Guo Fan in the interview involves many aspects. The entire industrial chain is worth about tens of billions (not the valuation, but the actual money that several companies have to pay). Why is it located in the foggy city?
Think about it, it makes more sense to be located in Chengdu than in Fog City. Everyone knows Fog City, right? Although Fog City is a popular city on the Internet, it is actually not in line with the times.
I picked out a recruitment requirement posted by a company in Fog City: "Get the company's Douyin account to 10 followers", with a monthly salary of yuan - in addition, you need to bring your own computer.
This is no joke.
All I can say is that the company has no idea what the Internet is all about. Yes, Wudu is a heavy industrial city, and its development in the Internet and the company's support can be almost ignored.
It is for this reason that there are almost no entertainment companies, Internet companies and others in Wudu.
So back to the beginning, why did the Little Moss Project choose the Foggy City? ］
