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

Chapter 284 Director Xu Nuo’s space elevator plan

deep city.

Penguin Entertainment.

As an "old rival" of Real Media, Liang Bin seemed to feel a little regretful after seeing the box office results of his new Penguin Entertainment movie "Fireman" and Xu Nuo's movie "Spider-Man".

It was indeed Liang Bin who made the decision to use this movie carefully produced by Penguin Entertainment to snipe Xu Nuo's new film, and to have a head-on confrontation.

After all, before this, Penguin Entertainment's film works often encountered Xu Nuo's films, and the final result was either being slapped or forced to change the schedule.

Liang Bin, the management of Penguin Entertainment, and the director of Penguin Entertainment all held their breath.

Who would have thought of the result.

Xu Nuo's movies are still huge hits, and the box office is not unsatisfactory because there is a strong competitor at the same time.

Now it has reached a box office of almost 60 billion yuan. It has only been released globally for two days. With such results, it is obviously a huge hit and a hit all over the world.

In other words, Liang Bin arranged for Penguin Entertainment's new movie to be released at the same time as Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man", and his attempt to snipe basically failed.

On the contrary, Liang Bin's Penguin Entertainment suffered a bit.

Although the current box office of my own movie is more than [-] billion, it seems to be pretty good. If the cost control is ideal enough, even the current box office results are enough to recover the money.

Obviously, the follow-up movie of his own will be able to get more box office, so this movie can be regarded as the most successful one of Penguin Entertainment in recent years.

It has achieved good results in terms of reputation and box office, and has been recognized by the audience to a certain extent!
But the problem is that this time it will be released together with Xu Nuo's new movie "Spider-Man". With such a global hit in front of you, it is destined that this movie of yours will not be the one that attracts attention during this period. focus.

Liang Bin has seen that whether it is on Weibo, Douyin, or Xiaopo.com, there are many hot topics about "Spider-Man", not to mention Xu Nuo's own AI entertainment platform, which must be the same Promote his own "Spider-Man", at least that's what Liang Bin thinks.

Seeing that Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man" has so many hot topics, Liang Bin can't be idle.

So I spent money to buy a lot of hot marketing searches about "Ice and Fire Man" on various major platforms. On the surface, the hot topics seemed to be on par with Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man".

But in fact, Liang Bin knows best in his heart that his movie is swimming naked in the tide. If the tide recedes, everyone can see that among the hot topics in the sky, his movie is swimming naked in the sea. swimming.

Liang Bing would not immerse himself in false prosperity, he knew it in his heart.

On the other hand, Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man" can be seen at a glance that it is a real hit and is not marketed by buying hot searches.

This is the difference!
At the same time, the gap in box office performance also clearly tells Liang Bin that the two movies are not on the same level at all.

And Liang Bin regrets that his own movie has already been finished, it would have been better if he had not chosen to snipe Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man".

If this movie had been released on a previous schedule, with its hard-core quality and the audience's change in the objective and stereotyped impression of Penguin Entertainment's usual works, I believe that the box office performance at that time would have been even better than it is now. If it's good, it might even become a hit in that period.

On the contrary, now, although the box office performance is not bad, it has been severely suppressed by Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man", which will definitely cause losses to the box office.

This means that the sniper failed, but he was sniped instead.

If I'm sorry to come, it will be considered a loss of box office. For Liang Bin, can this not be heartbreaking and regretful?

It's a pity that the movie has been released, and it has become an established fact that Xu Nuo's new movie "Spider-Man" has become a global hit. The decision I made at the beginning has to be swallowed with tears.

The only good news is that this movie of my own will definitely not lose money, and it will also make some money. As for how much money it can make, it depends on whether the follow-up of the movie is strong enough.

At this time, Xu Nuo was not in the mood to watch Penguin Entertainment's jokes.

Because for Xu Nuo, Penguin Entertainment and Liang Bin were no longer in their eyes. They were said to be competitors, but in fact, that was already a thing of the past.

Xu Nuo even hopes that Penguin Entertainment and Liang Bin, the big companies and executives in the domestic film and television field, can continue to produce high-quality film and television works in the future. This can also be regarded as their contribution to the healthy development of the domestic film and television industry. own contribution.

After Xu Nuo rested for a night at the hotel in Yancheng, he was going to the Science and Technology Department today.

Unexpectedly, it was Colonel Luo Wei who drove over to pick up Xu Nuo. He took Xu Nuo to the Science and Technology Department and came to the conference hall where the joint meeting was held.

Here today, Xu Nuo will represent his real group to discuss China's outer space development and construction plans with the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration.

"Old Xu, Director Chen and Director Zhang of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have probably met by now. They will be over soon. Let's sit down first."

Colonel Luo Wei greeted Xu Nuo to sit down in the conference hall.

"Is this the holographic desktop device of our real group?"

Xu Nuo looked around at the conference hall of the Science and Technology Department. Some of the equipment used looked familiar.

Obviously, it comes from his own real group.

"That's right, I purchased it from your real group, but I think your real group has a lot of business. Old Xu, the person who purchased this holographic display desktop, must not have paid much attention to it."

Colonel Luo Wei spread his hands and said with a smile.

"really."

Xu Nuo said truthfully: "As for these businesses, I think Xiaowen must know better."

As we all know, although Xu Nuo is the helmsman of the Real Group, he is really only in charge of the specific business and so on. Naturally, people with strong working ability like Wen Ruohan can do it. How can Xu Nuo have so much energy? Go do it yourself.

"Lao Luo, before Director Chen and Director Zhang come, why don't you tell me about the 80-meter-deep sea monster?"

Seeing that Xu Nuo had now seen Colonel Luo Wei, he asked about the 80-meter soft deep-sea creature.

"This matter has now become a big thing known to the public. In fact, in the past few years, we have indeed discovered some mutated marine life caused by the pollution of daily garbage, but they were not this big before."

When Colonel Luo Wei talked about this matter, his expression was very serious.

The reason why Colonel Luo Wei told Xu Nuo this is because at this time, this kind of thing is no longer a "secret".It was a secret before, so Colonel Luo Wei would not tell Xu Nuo about it.

"So, the 80-meter soft-bodied deep-sea creature currently appearing on the coast of the East China Sea is the largest?"

Xu Nuo continued to ask.

"Yes, because this thing was too big and appeared on a crowded beach, the news spread too quickly. In addition, after discussion with the superiors, it was decided that this matter would no longer be hidden, so there was a The news we saw two days ago.”

Colonel Luo Wei nodded and continued to say seriously: "But according to the analysis and research of our country's marine biologists, this 80-meter guy may not be the end."

"There are bigger ones?"

Xu Nuo knew that since there were already 80-meter soft-bodied deep-sea creatures, it meant that the vast sea was "unclean".

"This matter is a bit tricky. At this stage, we, the United States, France, and England will all conduct comprehensive monitoring of the ocean. All of this is a good thing that guy did in his childhood!"

When Colonel Luo Wei said this, it could be seen that he himself was a little angry.

These trivial things were caused by irresponsibility in childhood. No one could have imagined that such outrageous things would happen when garbage entered the ocean.

It's like a Pandora's box has been opened, no one knows what will be inside.

"Is the threat level high?"

Xu Nuo asked again immediately.

After all, it is a huge deep-sea creature that is tens of meters or even hundreds of meters in the future. For humans, it is indeed beyond the scope of some understanding.

Will the ocean be safe in the future?
Could it be that our aircraft carrier was driving on the sea and was suddenly attacked by some marine creatures?
Xu Nuo has even imagined scenes from some novels or movies in his mind.

"In fact, experts have assessed that the threat level is not too high, but the impact on the people is too strong."

Colonel Luo Wei shook his head and said very calmly.

Although there are 80-meter soft-bodied creatures in the ocean, this certainly does not pose any basic threat to humankind's current technology at the level of survival.

The only pity is that if you want to eat seafood in the future, you will only be able to eat some specifically farmed fish.

"Let's not talk about it anymore, Lao Xu. You'd better tell me that you plan to shoot the movie "The Wandering Earth". I've also finished reading the novel. If you go to the moon for filming, I think it won't be too difficult now. Yes, you also have that ability, the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration can also give you support, and your real group has also mastered the quantum computer. It seems that everything is moving in the direction of being able to shoot "The Wandering Earth" in real life, but..."

Colonel Luo Wei knew that Xu Nuo was a real-life shooting maniac.

When making a movie, you have to do it for real.

The previous "Oppenheimer" even used real nuclear bombs. What else does this kid dare not to play with?
What's more, it is possible to shoot on the moon, and quantum computers have been developed. This sounds outrageous, but for Colonel Luo Wei, other things in the novel are even more outrageous!

Like a space elevator!
And planetary engines!
"What? You don't believe that I can film "The Wandering Earth"?"

Xu Nuo smiled, looked at Colonel Luo Wei and asked.

"Hahaha, I'm dubious. The problem is that you can't actually film the space elevator and planetary engine in the novel, right? Unless it's using special effects. In that case, I think it's not a big deal for you to film "The Wandering Earth" It’s difficult.”

Colonel Luo Wei also smiled and said.

In Colonel Luo Wei's view, if Xu Nuo really wanted to make the novel "The Wandering Earth" into a movie, there would definitely be no problem. It would just be some real shots and some special effects.

As long as you are willing to compromise, nothing is impossible.

"With a planetary engine, our sun will not expand rapidly and engulf the earth, so there is really no need to build a planetary engine."

Xu Nuo shook his head and said calmly: "Well, just use special effects to make this."

Xu Nuo has already planned this and confirmed it in the system. The planetary engine is indeed not realistic at all for Xu Nuo to shoot "The Wandering Earth". It is not necessary at all, and it is still impossible. Real elements of implementation.

For such situations, the system allows the use of special effects.

In fact, even the space elevator is the same, but as for the space elevator, Xu Nuo believes that it is necessary to build a space elevator, because this space elevator is not only built for movies, but also for better human beings in the future. Build a low-Earth orbit spaceport and lay a solid foundation for going into space.

Just imagine, whether it is building a huge space port or a future space residential zone, a large amount of materials will need to be transported to space.

If we only rely on heavy-duty rockets or space shuttles, even if there is cold fusion technology or controllable nuclear fusion technology is mastered in the future, the efficiency will still be low.

Once there is a space elevator, it will be very convenient to transport goods up there. Even transporting resources mined from outer space, such as the moon and Mars, back to the earth will be very convenient and fast.

"Hey~, is this right? Using special effects, the space elevator also uses special effects?"

Colonel Luo Wei saw that Xu Nuo had also "compromised" and said with great satisfaction: "If "The Wandering Earth" is made into a movie sooner, Director Chen and I can go to the cinema earlier and watch your science fiction masterpiece!"

Now Colonel Luo Wei, like Director Chen of the Science and Technology Department, are looking forward to Xu Nuo turning the science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth" into a movie, so as to see the feast on the screen!
"A space elevator, I want to build one!"

Suddenly, Xu Nuo said in a very sure and decisive tone.

"What?"

When Colonel Luo Wei heard this, he was stunned.

He thought he heard it wrong, wasn't he talking about compromise?
"I have mentioned to Director Chen before that the space elevator is a very convenient space transportation project that can greatly improve the efficiency of our space transportation."

Xu Nuo looked serious and very professional: "According to Guan Ju and I's rigorous analysis, the space elevator is not an impossible space project!"

"What space projects are you two talking about?"

At this moment, a very familiar voice came from the door of the conference hall.
