This star is too fierce

Chapter 240 Are You Crazy?
sci-fi movie?
Gu Sisi looked at Zhang Sheng, not knowing what to say for a moment.

There are many types of Chinese movies.

What genre is most popular with movie fans?
This is really hard to say.

However, from the perspective of the market, the most genres of Chinese-language movies are undoubtedly: action movies, comedy movies, romance movies, fantasy movies, and historical movies.
sci-fi movie?
Do Chinese-language movies have the genre of science fiction?
Surely there is.

It just didn't work out.

Capital avoids science fiction films.

Directors seem reluctant to touch such films.

A director with a strong head, his whole life's fame has been planted on it.

As for the actor or something, there is no choice at all.

It is obvious that capital has the most say in what kind of film to make.

If you don't have money, you're afraid of a fart!
Don't Chinese movies have the soil of science fiction movies?
This is hard to say.

Because Huaguo has a long history and there are too many people and things to film, historical films are popular.

There may not be any previous "historical" films in Hollywood, so you can only imagine the future.

So, there is a flood of sci-fi movies over there.

Can't the domestic market accommodate sci-fi films?
This one is clearly not.

Many Hollywood sci-fi films have achieved very good box office in China.

Sci-fi films still have a huge market in China.

Domestic science fiction films
It's hard to say.

I'm so disappointed.

"Your idea is crazy." Gu Sisi said, "Even if you make an action movie, I can think of it, but a sci-fi movie"

Gu Sisi shook her head as she spoke, obviously not understanding, nor optimistic.

No one likes this type of film.

She just said that casually.

But who would have thought that Zhang Sheng would be motivated to make a sci-fi film.

At this moment, Gu Sisi blamed himself a little.

It's okay, why mention the monotonous genre of Changsheng Entertainment's movies?
“Science fiction is hard!”

Gu Sisi was silent for a moment, and then said another sentence.

She seemed to want Zhang Sheng to give up the idea, but she didn't know how to persuade him.

The two have been together for a short time, but they have known each other for a long time!

Once Zhang Sheng made a decision, it would be difficult to turn back.

He belongs to the kind of people who don't hit the south wall and don't look back.

Maybe he didn't turn back after bumping into it, but wanted to bump into the south wall.

"Film a low-budget sci-fi film to test the waters." Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

"Small cost?" Gu Sisi was a little surprised.

In her understanding, sci-fi films don't all involve a lot of special effects shots, so how can the investment be small?

Are you sure you want to shoot a science fiction film?
Rather than a feature film with a sci-fi gimmick?

There seemed to be romance films with sci-fi gimmicks before.

As a result, my mother didn't even know it.

"Who told you that a sci-fi movie must be a big production?" Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know it well. Changsheng Entertainment can't afford big productions now."

Can't afford it?

Not to mention.

It's just that if you don't make a big production and lose all your money, I'm afraid it will hurt your muscles and bones, and the momentum of rapid development will also stagnate, which is very detrimental to the company's development.

It is better to develop the company step by step.

Obviously, Zhang Sheng will not chase after the end.

Make some low-budget films that are popular and well-received, and then gradually expand the investment.

step by step.

Come on, it's easy to mess up.

In Zhang Sheng's plan, no matter what, he must get out those Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life.

Do not pursue applause.

But it must be well received.

It is better to rush out of the country, into Europe and the United States, and then earn their money.

Use past Hollywood blockbusters to pry open the door to the North American market in the back garden of Hollywood today.

A little excited to think about it.

But think about it now.

Those blockbuster movies cost [-] million U.S. dollars no matter what.

If you spend Chinese coins, that's hundreds of millions.

Therefore, if it is in line with international standards, no matter what kind of blockbuster, if it does not exceed one billion Chinese coins, you are embarrassed to call it a blockbuster.

""Legend of Sword and Fairy" will start airing at the end of the month." Gu Sisi said suddenly.

Zhang Sheng looked over suspiciously.

How could he not know.

He has chosen the schedule for promotional activities and so on.

"The TV series is about to start broadcasting, and the screenwriter seems to have nothing to do!" Gu Sisi said, "The screenwriter has never appeared since the beginning, do you know why? I asked Director Li, and he has never seen it."

why?
He shows up all the time, he just doesn't tell you.

"Maybe he doesn't like dealing with people." Zhang Sheng said subconsciously.

He doesn't seem ready to "confess" to Gu Sisi yet.

No matter what, we have to wait for the relationship between the two to deepen.

"Don't lie to me, okay?" Gu Sisi said, "I heard that the martial arts drama "Tian Long Ba Bu" prepared by your company was also produced by him. What is your relationship with him?"

Did she discover something?
Doubt now?
Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

"Okay!" Zhang Sheng said with a sigh, "I am the author of "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the screenwriter of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Dragon Babu" Yuanle!"

Early death, early super life!
Sooner or later it will be known, so why hide it?

The person in front of him is his girlfriend.

In the future, it may be my wife, the baby's mother.
It takes countless lies to cover a lie, so it is better to confess it directly.

Ok!

Zhang Sheng had to admit that he suspected that Gu Sisi was suspicious of him.

"Just you?" Gu Sisi pouted and said, "You men don't speak the truth."

Zhang Sheng:.
She doesn't believe it?
Didn't she doubt anything, let alone herself?
Zhang Sheng suddenly had a kind of understanding.

Is there a possibility that it's not that men like to lie, but that women don't believe them when they tell the truth!
Gu Sisi did not continue to dwell on this topic.

Baguio's death didn't make her so obsessed with an internet author.

She just asked casually.

After being reminded by Gu Sisi, Zhang Sheng already had a choice, so the script was written very quickly.

As for the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Zhang Sheng has been waiting a long time to update it, so what's the point if it is shortened a few times?
Besides, the novel is almost over.

This book was written much longer than "Zhu Xian".

Scripts are written fast, but also relative.

What Zhang Sheng chose was not a domestic film, but a small-budget Hollywood film.

sci-fi movie?
Both worlds are the same.

This world is even more bleak.

In the previous life, Discourse Movies had released such popular sci-fi films as "The Wandering Earth".

What about now?
None.

It's really pitiful and sad.

It is naturally impossible to directly copy the adaptation of a Hollywood movie.

"A sci-fi movie?" Zhou Zhao looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "If the news spreads that you are going to make a sci-fi movie, I am afraid that many people will say that you were blinded by the success of "Baby Wisdom Star" and swelled to the point of forgetfulness."

Zhang Sheng's new film was made into a sci-fi film, which really shocked Zhou Zhao.

"Isn't there a topic?" Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

Zhang Sheng didn't doubt Zhou Zhao's words.

There are so many big directors in the industry who dare not touch sci-fi films. You, a rookie director who just came out of school and made a low-budget comedy film, dare to touch sci-fi films?

Really ignorant and fearless!
"What's Lu Wenhua's opinion?" Zhou Zhao then asked.

In this regard, Zhou Zhao paid more attention to Lu Wenhua's opinion.

He is obviously inferior to Lu Wenhua in the film market.

Perhaps, not as good as Zhang Sheng.

After all, Changsheng Entertainment's three small and big films are all written by Zhang Sheng.

"He went to Thailand with Lao Liu." Zhang Sheng said, "However, when he comes back, the script should be almost ready."

"You're fast enough to write the script!" Zhou Zhao said, "What's the budget? The company made a lot of profits last year, but the expenditure was also high, but it can't stand your toss. Moreover, if you make a sci-fi film, you probably won't be able to raise the investment." Yes. If it loses, the company will be hurt and its development will be greatly affected. Personally, I disagree. The risk is too great."

If the investment cannot be obtained, then only the company can resist.

If other films are okay, but science fiction films.
This film can't be earned by relying on topic hype.

"Tens of millions!" Zhang Sheng said.

"How many?"

Zhou Zhao thought he heard it wrong, and looked at Zhang Sheng in shock.

"It's just a low-budget sci-fi movie." Zhang Sheng said, "However, Lu Wenhua is a professional about how much. In addition, it depends on the cast."

"U.S. dollars?" Zhou Zhao said.

In his impression, low-budget sci-fi films seem to cost tens of millions of dollars.

But it doesn't seem to be low in China.

"This is not Hollywood." Zhang Sheng said with a curled lip.

A sci-fi film with an investment of tens of millions of dollars can only be regarded as a low-cost film in Hollywood.

But putting tens of millions of dollars in the country is completely different.

An investment of [-] to [-] million yuan is now considered an upper-middle investment in China.

Domestically, [-] million is considered a blockbuster.

What about Hollywood?
That's it.

Of course, shooting the same thing would cost more in Hollywood.

"Are you making a sci-fi film with tens of millions?" Zhou Zhao said, "Soft sci-fi?"

"It depends on how to explain hard science fiction and soft science fiction." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said.

Some people say that hard science fiction is technological science fiction, and soft science fiction is humanistic science fiction.

It is also said that hard science fiction is more rigorous and more focused on the realization of scientific principles.Soft sci-fi, on the other hand, puts the story in a sci-fi background more casually.

There are simpler and more crude statements.

Hard sci-fi tends to be science, and soft sci-fi tends to be fantasy.

Of course, Zhang Sheng did not agree with this crude statement.

If this is the case, then Newton's three laws are hard science fiction, and "Journey to the West" is soft science fiction?

Zhou Zhao did not dwell on this issue any longer.

Zhang Sheng insisted on filming, but he couldn't stop it.

Who made him the boss?
However, with tens of millions of investments, even if they lose everything, it will not affect the development of Changsheng Entertainment.

Today's Changsheng Entertainment has such confidence.

In terms of last year's profit, even though Changsheng Entertainment was established not long ago, there are probably not many big film and television companies that can compete with it in this regard.

It's just that if Zhang Sheng's new film fails, then the reputation that "Baby Wisdom Star" has established for him may be wiped out in one day.

Zhang Sheng is not enough to become a hot director because of "Baby Wisdom".

But his fame has come out.

If the new film is dropped, then he may have a hard time going on the road of directing.
