Chapter 333 Big changes to the script
Lin Nan put a lot of effort into adapting this new "Passengers".
At least those things deep in his mind that are unreasonable and inconsistent with Chinese logic need to be changed.
The origin and framework of the story are different!
In addition, in Lin Nan's script, the male protagonist was forced to wake up early due to a malfunction in the sleep chamber.
The heroine's awakening will be changed to be caused by the hero's carelessness and accidental mistake.
Guilt and fear of losing each other will make him do everything possible to hide the truth.
This is how all stories begin.
…………
Now just waiting for the budget to be made, Lin Nan can announce the project to the outside world.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Yifei applied some powder.
Wearing a simple white T-shirt, a waist-length knee-length skirt, and high-heeled sandals, she went out with Lin Nan.
No one can refuse the premiere of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party". To be honest, this is a matter of attitude.
There are a total of 28 tribute films this year, most of which are not famous.
Only "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" and "The Revolution of 1911" are interesting.
The General Administration stood up and shouted slogans, hoping that these 28 movies could have a box office of 1 billion in total.
Most people in the industry know very well that the 1 billion box office mentioned by the General Administration, and it is estimated that 900 million will depend on "The Great Cause of the Party" and "Revolution of 1911".
The other 26 films were all made by a mob. They all applied for funds from various sources under the pretext of making gift films. The quality of the films can be imagined, and most of them were bad films.
…………
If you see so many celebrities on the red carpet of other movie premieres, they must all be guests.
But since "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", there is another possibility. Maybe so many stars are all cast members of the movie!
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got out of the car and walked onto the red carpet, they happened to catch up with some of the crew members on the red carpet.
There are so many actors in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" that they can only walk on the red carpet in batches.
"Director Lin, Yifei, come over and join us."
"Yes, together!"
Liu Ye and Nie Yuan shouted one after another.
The former has acted in "The Martian" and is very familiar with Lin Nan.
The latter participated in Lin Nan Pictures' "Xiuchungdao", when Liu Yifei was the producer.
Beside them, Yi Wei, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying and others were also waving...
"Then let's go together?"
Lin Nan took Liu Yifei's hand and blended directly into the main creative lineup.
Media reporters on both sides quickly grabbed photos of the scene. These are all material!
The venue was full of big names, real big names!
Led by Han Sanping, there are Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Ren Dahua, Feng Gong, Zhao Benshan...
There are even more great directors, including Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Jiang Wen, Wang Xiaoshuai......
Even Zhang Yimou gave the crew of "Thirteen Hairpins" a day off and came to support them.
After Lin Nan and Liu Yifei came in, they did not join the crowd and went straight to find their seats.
Well, not bad. With their current positions, the first row is definitely safe. In addition, it is also because there are not many official leaders coming today.
Han Sanping and others greeted them from afar, but did not force Lin Nan to pass.
“You sit down first and I’ll get some food.”
Liu Yifei looked around, smiled and nodded at Lin Nan.
Neither of them has a rigid temperament, and they don't care too much about other people's opinions.
Besides, even if others look at them, they will only think that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are free and easy!
When Lin Nan came back with two plates of food, he saw Huang Bo sitting in the second row talking and laughing with Liu Yifei.
“Oh, you are back. Is the filming of “Killing” finished?”
Lin Nan asked curiously.
On Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Huang Bo finished filming in just a few days. I remember that at that time he was still complaining that it was too fast and he was just a supporting role.
After that, he joined the crew of "Killing".
Huang Bo shook his head and said:
"No, it will still take two months. Aren't you coming back to attend the premiere of "The Founding of the Party"? Well, Director Guan Fang is here too. ”
Following the direction Huang Bo pointed, Lin Nan saw Guan Xi, who was chatting with the boss of Xingmei, one of the investors in "Killing".
"Huang Bo said that the role he played this time was very interesting. He was both a scoundrel and a 'real person'!"
Liu Yifei took the fruit plate from Lin Nan's hand and said smoothly.
Lin Nan has read the original novel "Killing". It is absurd, interesting and true.
“You, a great director and an internationally renowned actress, are not afraid of losing face if the news spreads about eating here...”
"Then don't reach out?" Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Haha, everyone who sees it has a share."
Liu Yifei was amused by Huang Bo's behavior and quickly swallowed the orange in her mouth.
…………
While the three were chatting and laughing, the premiere began.
"Director Huang Jianxin and I have absolute confidence in this film "The Founding of the Party". Its box office performance will definitely exceed that of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"!"
"Don't ask for more, just 500 million guaranteed!"
Lin Nan learned for the first time the cost of "The Great Cause of Party Building". The actors' salary did not exceed 2 million.
Several top celebrities all took a symbolic part in the film. This was imposed by China Film Group, for fear of being accused of prostitution for free in the name of a gift film again.
However, the production cost this time was much higher than that of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", reaching more than 70 million. At the beginning of the movie, the grand and majestic historical atmosphere rushes towards you, giving people a sense of weight.
…………
Zhou Runfa’s Yuan Shikai;
Fan Bingbing’s Queen Mother Longyu;
Zhao Benshan’s Duan Qirui;
…………
Nima, Feng Gong’s Feng Guozhang looks absolutely amazing, and he deserves to be a descendant!
Cai E, played by Andy Lau, is really elegant and his lines are very catchy.
"However, the seven-foot body has been promised to the country, no matter how hard it is to give to Qing..."
In Lin Nan's view, Liu Dehua's performance definitely incorporates emotions into it. .
This scene should have become a classic, but Yang Ying was opposite, making Andy Lau's performance half the result with half the effort!
"I think I can definitely play this little fairy very well."
Liu Yifei suddenly said something, which caught Lin Nan off guard and made her suffer from literary youth disease again!
“I’m talking to you.”
Liu Yifei shook Lin Nan’s arm.
"Ah? There's nothing you can do to tell me now. If you had told me earlier, I could still think of a way to stuff you in..."
Lin Nan smiled speechlessly, in exchange for a cute Eye roll.
…………
The premiere of "The Founding of the Party" is over, and we only have to wait for the official release in just over a week.
The next day, China Film, Han Sanping office.
Lin Nan's visit this time is about business, about "Passengers".
"The biggest shed? Are you sure you can use that one?"
Han Sanping asked Lin Nan with an incredible expression on his face.
That is a very large studio of 5,000 square meters. It has been used no more than five times since it was built, and the rent is very high!
“Yes, I want it.”
Seeing Han Sanping's suspicious expression, Lin Nan straightened up.
“For my science fiction film this time, more than 90% of the shots have to be shot in a studio, a green screen studio.”
“I will have to contact the Aerospace Science and Technology Group by then. Let them help me design a spaceship.
It is the kind of interstellar spacecraft that can accommodate more than 5,000 people. It is meant to accommodate people, not to accommodate them! There is a lot of space for everyone to live and move. That kind of thing is equivalent to an independent living circle..."
Han Sanping was confused for a moment while listening to Lin Nan talking about the new script.
Why the earth is about to "burp";
The number of human beings has plummeted, and they are forced to start interstellar migration;
A large number of interstellar spacecrafts take humans out of the solar system to newly discovered habitable planets in outer space ;
Each spaceship carries at least five thousand people who have completely entered a state of hibernation, flying to their new home under the guidance of an intelligent system;
The long journey in the starry sky lasts a hundred years;
......
......
"The specific background of the big frame is like this, the movie story takes place in one of the spaceships!"
Lin Nan finally finished saying that this is him The new script background framework after major changes.
After Lin Nan finished speaking, Han Sanping was completely confused.
"Good guy, the background of your movie is really science fiction.
End of the world, interstellar immigration, human body deep sleep technology...
A hundred years of dreaming, you will not age!
< br>What it looks like when you sleep, and what it looks like when you wake up..."
Han Sanping muttered, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"The background is grand enough, so the plot must be detailed, otherwise the budget will probably be astronomical, and we will have to keep throwing money at it!"
Lin Nan said in her heart: "Fuck me", it is indeed true. Han Sanping.
"You are right, unless you give me one billion, I will try to play something big...Alas, I am joking, don't take it seriously!"
…… …
“I will keep that shed for you. Make a budget as soon as possible, and the investor should bring in the Aerospace Science and Technology Group.
I remember that when "The Martian" was released, the leaders there talked to you alone and said that if you have similar projects that need technical support in the future, feel free to contact them. "
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, he had to ask them for help.
In the studio: "Spacecraft interior design", "Various functional cabin design", "Sleep Chamber", " "Space suits", "pressure chambers", etc., you have to count on the Aerospace Science and Technology Group team.
This promise was made by the leader of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group in public at the premiere of "The Martian". Many movies in the industry The company is envious of it.
…………
After leaving China Film Group Corporation, Lin Nan went back to the company.
He asked someone to send the script of "Passengers" to the film bureau first.
No matter when the budget comes out, the sooner the script is reviewed, the better. The sooner the filming permit is issued, the more time is saved.
“No one should dare to block my science fiction film!”
Lin Nan is very confident about this.
Tong Ju said at the beginning that his future science fiction films would be given special care. After all, it was he who set the benchmark for domestic science fiction films, namely: "The Martian"!
Lin Nan suddenly had an idea. There will be many dormant warehouses in this movie. Can we find some actors from the industry to make guest appearances?
Just find some familiar big names, lie in the sleeping cabin, and give them a shot of less than a second or two.
The effect of the cut will be absolutely great. The long shot and then switching will be like an Easter egg.
The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more he thought he could do this! Just a few are enough, more is not good...
"Well, not bad, there is a clue!"
