Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 274 A strong competitor of "Spider-Man"?

After hearing friends' comments about "Spider-Man", Xu Nuo felt at ease.

Xu Nuo also summarized the evaluation of "Spider-Man" by He Feiyang, Wang Shifeng, Zhou Kun, Zhao Huojie, and Zhou Youqing. That is, although it is not stunningly talented and glamorous, it can definitely be regarded as an excellent commercial film. Blockbuster.

An excellent commercial blockbuster, this is enough for "Spider-Man".

After all, Xu Nuo does not expect to win any major awards or make a name in film history with "Spider-Man". As long as it is a global hit and the total box office exceeds 150 billion yuan, it will be enough.

Because what Xu Nuo cares about most is the generous rewards he can receive after the actual shooting of the "Spider-Man" movie project is completed.

Xu Nuo's super danger sensing ability allows Xu Nuo to do his best to ensure his own safety no matter what scene he is in.

This is still very important for a character like Xu Nuo.

No matter whether he is on the Blue Star or may go to the sea of ​​​​stars in the future, Xu Nuo cannot guarantee that he will not encounter danger.

And when you have Spider-Man's sensing ability, you can respond to danger in advance.

In the evening, inside the Real Film and Television Theme Park Hotel.

This dinner hosted by Real Media was almost a midnight snack to be precise, and people from the film review media invited by Xu Nuo from all walks of life attended.

At the dinner party, Xu Nuo met an old acquaintance.

"Director Xu."

Zhang Chaowen from Top Film and Television Studio saw Director Xu and his group not far away, and quickly came forward to say hello to Director Xu.

"Hello."

After Xu Nuo saw Zhang Chaowen, he shook hands with him and said hello with a smile.

As an old friend of Xu Nuo's movie promotion stage, Zhang Chaowen has "cooperated" with him many times. When it was revealed that Xu Nuo used AI to actually shoot the movie and conduct live interviews for the first "Terminator", it was Zhang Chaowen. Top film and television studio.

At that time, Xu Nuo was just a little-known director, and the company was also a small company with no business.

Today, Xu Nuo has already become a world-famous director with a box office of tens of billions. Xu Nuo's real group is a world-famous large-scale comprehensive enterprise group in the fields of high-tech, culture and media.

Even so, even if Zhang Chaowen is still the same Zhang Chaowen, Xu Nuo is still very easy-going towards this good film critic.

"After watching "Spider-Man" this time, do you have anything to say? I want to hear your old friend's true evaluation. You know, our Reality Group focuses on being truthful and unadulterated."

Xu Nuo asked Zhang Chaowen with a smile.

Zhang Chaowen also smiled, then nodded and said: "I definitely can't write the specific review copy now. I have to wait until I get back to the hotel after dinner to write the film review copy and edit the video overnight. But since you asked, Director Xu, Then let me tell you my true feelings after watching "Spider-Man"."

"Yeah, just say it."

What Xu Nuo wants is the most authentic movie-watching experience from film critics like Zhang Chaowen and others.

"First of all, our holographic playback is absolutely amazing. This must be an epoch-making innovation in film technology in the future!"

The most shocking thing about watching "Spider-Man" tonight for Zhang Chaowen was undoubtedly the holographic 3D movie playback technology, which was simply immersive and a huge visual shock.

This kind of technology has completely surpassed the 3D movie mode of traditional theaters. If it can be promoted and implemented in the future, it will definitely be a supreme level of enjoyment for audiences who like to watch movies.

In addition, Zhang Chaowen believes that such technology will also have a profound impact on future film forms and popular themes.

Just like since the mature advent of 3D movies, there have been obviously more movies with themes suitable for making 3D movies on the market, while there have been fewer feature films in the ordinary 2D format.

After the popularization of holographic 3D movie playback technology, film producers and companies naturally want to produce movie types that are more suitable for holographic playback. After all, film businessmen still have to pursue profits.

"Let's not talk about the viewing experience brought about by the playback technology, but let's talk about the "Spider-Man" movie itself."

Xu Nuo raised his hand and motioned to Zhang Chaowen.

Xu Nuo must be well aware of the shock that holographic 3D movie playback technology brings to the audience. This is a technical bonus for the movie. What Xu Nuo wants to know more is the evaluation of the movie itself. of.

Just like the previous evaluations of friends such as He Feiyang, Zhou Kun and Zhao Huojie, they must be based on the movie itself.

"Oh, okay, as far as the movie itself is concerned, this is definitely a very complete and mature story. Director Xu, there is no doubt about your ability to make a movie. A complete story structure, coupled with a progressive and orderly plot The development, as well as the shaping of the characters, especially the little spider is very unique, even the villain has been shaped, and the real-life scenes really give people a full sense of immersion and excitement. To be honest, I can't find it. There are no obvious shortcomings."

Zhang Chaowen truthfully stated his evaluation of the movie itself after watching it.

He really couldn't find any obvious shortcomings, but if he had to pick the bones in the egg, he could pick them out. For example, how was the little spider's uncle so unlucky to meet such a bad guy and lose his life? In the movie, it seems like it was sacrificed for the plot.

Of course, this problem is not big, because movies are a kind of art, and my uncle's death is also an artistic sacrifice for the core theme of "with great power comes great responsibility".

As long as any audience with some movie-watching skills will find this point, there will be no problem.

"Hmm, is there any more?"

After hearing Zhang Chaowen's movie review, Xu Nuo nodded slightly and asked again.

It seems that Xu Nuo has no problem filming the movie "Spider-Man". The reputation is not as big as "I Am Not the God of Medicine" in terms of reputation, but it is definitely a stable one.

"The campus feel, the boy next door, superheroes, science fiction elements, etc. all have their own system. I have not seen this type of movie so far, and it is also different from Director Xu's previous movies such as "Iron Man" and "Dragon Team". The movies in the universe each have their own characteristics, which is very good and will increase their appeal to the audience."

Zhang Chaowen continued to comment.

Generally, after a director's movie of a certain subject type becomes a big success, his subsequent movies will often be shot according to the mold of this successful movie. This will make several movies look the same without their own characteristics. Thus gradually disappearing from the public.

But these films in the universe directed by Xu are different.

Not to mention the other two "Hulk" and "Thor", which were shot by different directors He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng, Director Xu himself shot "Iron Man", "Dragon" and now "Spider-Man" , each of the three movies has its own characteristics.

This is also an advantage and attraction of a movie.

"Actually, I think the most successful thing about the whole movie is the Spider-Man portrayed by actor Li Cheng. He has a lovable personality, outstanding abilities, and can also be cool. Director Xu, I have a preview that this Spider-Man character is going to be popular! "

Zhang Chaowen suddenly said again, this time he was exaggerating the creation of the main characters in the movie.

"Do young people like you who are around 30 years old also like characters like Spider-Man?" Xu Nuo asked with a smile.

"Of course, I like both Iron Man and Spider-Man, and Director Xu, I can guarantee that my little nephew will also like Spider-Man. I have to say that this character is suitable for all ages. No, it's too Old people may not feel it, but for those in their teens to thirties, I think they will definitely not be able to resist liking a character like Spider-Man.”

Zhang Chaowen nodded, and said a little excitedly: "To be honest, seeing the transformation of Little Spider from a daily life on campus to a superhero, this is very in line with some wild imaginations in my mind when I was a teenager."

Who hasn’t imagined that they have many extraordinary abilities when they were in school as teenagers, and then they can show their extraordinary abilities in front of the beautiful girl they like or protect her to gain her love?
Doesn’t this sense of substitution fill you up instantly?

The little spider in the movie has undoubtedly fulfilled the fantasies of countless people when they were young. He has extraordinary abilities, is chivalrous and full of justice, and is worshiped by the girl he has a crush on. These things cannot be realized in reality, but in the movie, he is Spider-Man comes to realize it for the audience.

"Okay, after hearing what you said, I have some idea."

Xu Nuo smiled and stretched out his hand, patted Zhang Chaowen on the shoulder and said, "As I said before, when you get back, write the movie review based on your truest thoughts."

From Xu Nuo's first film to now, Xu Nuo's only requirement for film critics is to write the most authentic film reviews.

Good is good and bad is bad.

Xu Nuo is not afraid of accepting the most honest evaluation, but he is afraid that he will be addicted to the illusory "prosperity", which will eventually lead to a failure in box office reputation, and thus he will not be able to complete the systematic film tasks, and if he does not get rewards, it will be in vain.

Even if the film critics have a bad reputation after watching the movie and say that Xu Nuo did not film well, then Xu Nuo still has the most extreme opportunity to correct his mistakes, which is to directly announce the temporary withdrawal, and then quickly summon the crew to reshoot or even "remake" as a way to save the film and accomplish its mission.

Of course, with Xu Nuo's current financial resources and strength, as long as he works hard when shooting, it is basically impossible for this situation to happen.

"Director Xu, what is your expected box office for this "Spider-Man"?"

Zhang Chaowen suddenly asked curiously.

It's rare to have such an opportunity to chat with Director Xu face to face. Naturally, if you can ask more questions, you have to ask more questions.

"Well, I think it would be great to have 50 billion."

Xu Nuo replied casually.

Although the box office target given by the system is 150 billion soft sister coins, if Xu Nuo directly said that my "Spider-Man" would take this box office, then it would feel a bit "crazy".

Xu Nuo has always been a relatively modest person, so he casually mentioned a box office target that was not high but definitely not low.

"I'm sure I didn't ask about five billion."

Zhang Chaowen felt that Director Xu was definitely being conservative. The box office target of [-] billion might be achievable in China.

"I hope it can sell well at the box office. This will not be in vain for the hard work of thousands of people on our film crew."

Xu Nuo spread his hands and said calmly.

"Of course you can, but Director Xu, this time your "Spider-Man" has a strong competitor that is also known as a domestic commercial blockbuster at the same time. I don't know if it will have some impact on the box office of "Spider-Man". Influence."

Zhang Chaowen frowned and said worriedly.

"Oh?"

Xu Nuo was quite interested when he heard this.

During this time, I have been busy working on "Spider-Man", or focusing part of my attention on the company's quantum computer.

But I didn't pay attention to some movies that were released in the same period as my "Spider-Man".

Logically speaking, domestic commercial blockbusters that dare to be released at the same time as Xu Nuo's films are really rare, only some dramas, literary films and the like may still be released on time after they meet "Spiderman", and he When a movie by Xu Nuo is encountered, they usually choose to change the schedule.

Penguin Entertainment is quite experienced in this regard!

"Xiao Wen, are there any new domestic commercial blockbusters that will be released together with our "Spider-Man" recently?"

Xu Nuo turned around and asked his assistant Wen Ruohan.

"Domestic commercial blockbusters? Boss, are you talking about the "Ice and Fire Man" recently promoted by Penguin Entertainment?"

When Wen Ruohan heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then he answered uncertainly.

"Ice and Fire Man? What the hell is this?"

When Xu Nuo heard the title of the film, he immediately felt dumbfounded.

Looking at this title, it is obvious that it is imitated from Xu Nuo's "Iron Man", but in order to distinguish it from Xu Nuo's Iron Man as a theme, I used ice and fire, which are very popular but really attractive. The element of force.

And looking at it like this, Xu Nuo can most likely guess that it is a movie set in modern times where the male protagonist has super powers of ice and fire.

"Wait a minute, you just said that this "Fireman" is a Penguin Entertainment movie?"

Xu Nuo suddenly reacted and asked.

"Yeah, it's an extraordinary commercial blockbuster produced and distributed by Penguin Entertainment. Boss, it seems to me that their title is obviously a reference to our "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man"."

Wen Ruohan nodded, and then muttered: "Penguin Entertainment has been very aggressive in promoting this movie recently."

"No wonder Lao Zhang said that this movie is a strong competitor to our "Spider-Man", and Penguin Entertainment is so brave now that they dare to compete head-on with our Real Media movie and release it at the same time. This is a big move. Are you ready to snipe us?"

Xu Nuo said with a smile.

"I think so. Penguin Entertainment has had several movies given to you by your boss before."

Wen Ruohan also agreed with the boss's statement.

It’s clear that it’s all about precision sniping. I heard that the movie “Fire and Ice” was almost completed last year, but it had to wait until this time to be released at the same time as “Spider-Man”.

Is it possible that this person is not here for sniping but also as a foil?
