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

Chapter 300: Good guy, acting as a friend for zero pay?
"Director Xu, let's just say, are you really planning to go to the moon to film "The Wandering Earth"? Isn't it a marketing gimmick?"

Ma Yong asked Xu Nuoque excitedly.

If this is true, then Xu Nuo will definitely create a miracle in the history of movies, because all the filming and production of movies have been completed on earth for so many years.

And Xu Nuo actually wanted to go to the moon to actually shoot!

He is indeed a famous real-life shooting maniac!
"Have you ever done any stunts in any of my previous movies?"

Xu Nuo spread his hands and said calmly.

At this moment, Ma Yong's mind quickly went through the movies Xu Nuo had made, whether it was "Terminator" about artificial intelligence, or "Transformers" about transforming cars, or "Transformers" about wearing steel battle suits. "Iron Man", "I Am Not the God of Medicine" about chronic myelogenous leukemia, as well as "Power Rangers", "Dragon", "Oppenheimer" and "Spider-Man", the "gimmick" of each movie , it’s all true!

Therefore, when Ma Yong saw what Xu Nuo said, he naturally believed that he really planned to go to the moon to film "The Wandering Earth".

And as an actor who was selected by Director Xu to play the character "Ma Zhao" in the movie, he also had to go to the moon to participate in the filming?
Thinking of this, Ma Yong felt a surge of blood in his heart.

Even though I am a science fiction writer, I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to go to the moon and make a movie!
This is too sci-fi!

No, this is not science fiction, this is an event that is about to come true!
But soon, Ma Yong became rational after being excited, looked at Xu Nuo and asked: "But Director Xu, I want to go to space and go to the moon. No wonder Director Xu asked me about my physical fitness. I'm afraid I Isn’t it unrealistic for ordinary people with such physical abilities to go to space or even go to the moon for a while?”

I write science fiction, and the unreasonable parts are solved through fantasy, and the reasonable parts are based on science, but in reality, everything must follow science.

Now that China has established a base on the moon and has mature capabilities to send humans to the moon, the key to the problem lies in "people."

If you are an astronaut or a professionally trained scientist, then there is no problem. But the problem is that I, Ma Yong, have not received professional training.

"Do you want to talk about professional space training? Don't worry, the crew will work with our real space agency and the space agency to provide professional training for the actors."

Seeing that Ma Yong was a little confused, Xu Nuo explained to him: "As for physical fitness, Dr. Ma, you don't have to worry, Guan Ju is a top professional nutritionist."

After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he looked at his AI Guan Ju with a smile.

"Sir, do you need to develop a healthy physical improvement plan for Mr. Ma Yong?"

Guan Ju asked quickly.

"The premise is that our Dr. Ma is confirmed to appear in our "The Wandering Earth"."

Xu Nuo did not directly ask Guan Ju to start formulating Ma Yong's physical improvement plan, firstly because Ma Yong had not signed the contract yet.

As long as the contract is not signed, Ma Yong is not considered an actor in his "Wandering Earth" crew.

Secondly, if you want to improve Ma Yong's physique, the most efficient way is to use super soldier serum to a certain extent.

Of course, it is not to give Ma Yong a tube of super soldier serum directly, which is too crude and simple. It is not to use super soldier serum like Xu Nuo did at the beginning, but to use it bit by bit in the physical improvement plan, even diluted super soldier serum. The soldier serum only needs to improve Ma Yong's physique to a level suitable for space training and going to the moon.

Such a detailed physical improvement plan would naturally need to be carried out by Guan Ju.

"If that's the case, then Director Xu, can we sign the contract?"

Ma Yong has already begun to look forward to it.

He believes in Xu Nuo, he also believes in Guan Ju, and he also believes in the Real Group, the greatest enterprise in China today!
Seeing that Ma Yong is so active, I also need him to play the role of "Ma Zhao", and the two parties hit it off immediately.

"Xiao Wen, contract."

Xu Nuo directly asked his assistant Wen Ruohan to get the actor contract for "The Wandering Earth".

The terms of this contract are somewhat different from those of previous actor contracts. Of course, there are similarities, such as huge safety insurance.

The difference is naturally related to the terms and conditions for following the crew into space and the moon to film "The Wandering Earth".

"Mr. Ma Yong, this is a contract for participating in "The Wandering Earth" specially customized by our Real Media for you. Every clause in the contract is very clearly written. You can check it carefully. Of course, you can also Invite your attorney to come and work with you, or our firm can provide you with an attorney to analyze the contract.”

Wen Ruohan handed a contract to Ma Yong and said seriously.

"Dr. Ma is a well-known science fiction writer in our country. Naturally, he has signed many contracts. I think such a contract is nothing to Dr. Ma."

Xu Nuo believes that the various terms, rights and obligations of the contract he prepared for Ma Yong have been clearly written without any ambiguity. As long as Ma Yong reads the contract carefully, he will understand in his heart Countless.

"Uh-huh."

Ma Yong responded, nodded, and then began to look at the contract seriously.

As Wen Ruohan said, the terms of the contract were written very carefully and clearly. Ma Yong took them seriously. When he saw the salary, Ma Yong paused.

"Director Xu, will you give me a salary of 80 yuan?"

Ma Yong looked up at Xu Nuo with a surprised expression and asked.

"Ok?"

Xu Nuo muttered, and then said: "Dr. Ma, do you think it's a little less? You know that in my movies, the remuneration accounts for a very small proportion of the cost. Although the role of Ma Zhao is very important, it is not He is the protagonist, so the salary won’t be too high.”

"I know that."

Ma Yong nodded and said with a smile: "What I mean is that I have gone to the moon to make a movie with Director Xu. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if I still need to be paid for this? Director Xu, I am willing to act as a friend for zero salary." Yes, with the salary of 80 million yuan, I am not short of this money."

Good guy!
Ma Yong's words actually made Xu Nuo not know what to say for a moment.

Xu Nuo thought Ma Yong was dissatisfied that the 80 yuan salary was a bit low, after all, he was playing a relatively important supporting role in the movie.

What surprised Xu Nuo was that Ma Yong didn't want to be paid?
Friendship appearances with zero pay are nothing new in the entertainment industry. Many movies have actors appearing in friendships.It means that you have a close relationship with the director or producer, and you are invited to come and participate in the film. Generally, you don’t have many camera roles, and you don’t get paid or anything.

What surprised Xu Nuo was that his relationship with Ma Yong was not that close, right?
Xu Nuo wouldn't be surprised if Zhou Kun, Zhao Huojie, Colonel Luo Wei, and He Feiyang came to act as friends for free. After all, the relationship is there.

But Ma Yong is a bit interesting.

From the moment he came, he said that he would appear as a friend with zero pay, and he also said that the salary of 80 million yuan was nothing to him, and he was not short of this money.

This is true!

Because Ma Yong's net worth is not low, 80 million is not a particularly huge amount of income for him. After all, he has sold many physical books and copyrights in the past ten years. It was Penguin Entertainment, which sold the film, television, game, animation and other copyrights of several of his novels.

"Yes, Dr. Ma is not short of the money, but Dr. Ma, are you sure you want to appear as a friend with zero pay?"

Xu Nuo just followed Ma Yong's words, and then asked him again if he wanted to star as a friend for zero pay.

Although the salary of 80 yuan is nothing to Xu Nuo, if you can save it, then save it and use it in other places on the crew, or on the crew to benefit others, then It's also a good thing.

"Yeah, that's right. I've decided to get zero pay. Director Xu, you're going to take me to space this time, to the moon for real-life shooting. This has fulfilled two of my dreams, and it's just I don’t think these costs are low, so I don’t want the 80 yuan.”

Ma Yong waved his hand and said passionately.

Wen Ruohan on the side was stunned for a moment. For a moment, Wen Ruohan felt that Ma Yong was quite interesting.

He doesn't have a particularly good relationship with his boss Xu Nuo, right?

What's more, there were some grievances before, but this time you participated in "The Wandering Earth" and you didn't even get paid?
Okay, Wen Ruohan silently gave Ma Yong a thumbs up in his heart!

"Although it does cost a lot to train you and take you to space and to the moon, these are all things I should pay for. Dr. Ma, you just said that you have fulfilled two of your dreams. What do you mean?"

Xu Nuo believes that whether it is training Ma Yong or taking him into space to shoot "The Wandering Earth" on the moon, these costs are all included in his "The Wandering Earth" and are also the money he should pay. Ma Yong has nothing to do with it.

But Xu Nuo was still more interested in what Ma Yong said about fulfilling two of his dreams.

"Isn't it Director Xu that you chose me to participate in "The Wandering Earth"? It has always been a dream of mine to star in a science fiction blockbuster. Unfortunately, this dream has not been realized in the movies adapted from my novels. Director Xu I definitely have confidence in your movie.”

Ma Yong chuckled and explained: "As for the second dream, going to space and going to the moon, isn't that a dream? What's more, I'm a science fiction writer, so this is simply a moment when my fantasy comes true!"

When he said this, Ma Yong became more and more excited.

"So it is."

Xu Nuo smiled, and then said seriously: "Since Dr. Ma, you are willing to appear as a friend for zero pay, then I won't be polite."

"You're welcome, Director Xu!"

Ma Yong patted his chest and said, "I won't lose this time!"

"Well, Xiaowen, when the time comes, I'll change the contract for Dr. Ma and just change the remuneration."

Seeing that Ma Yong was so sure, Xu Nuo told his assistant Wen Ruohan to change the contract later.

"Good boss."

Wen Ruohan immediately responded.

After a while, Ma Yong put down the contract in his hand, took a deep breath and said: "I have read the contract. Apart from changing the salary, there are no other problems. Everything is in accordance with the contract. Follow Director Xu’s arrangements.”

To be honest, Ma Yong can't wait to start training because he has already imagined in his mind the scene of filming on the moon.

And if this thing really happens, then he will be the first person to go to outer space and the moon to make movies!
When I get old, I can write a documentary memoir based on this incident. Maybe it will sell well and earn pension money by then.

No, I don't seem to be short of pension money. With the money I earned in the past, as long as I don't squander it uncontrollably, I will basically have no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation for the rest of my life.

"Director Xu, when can I join the team and start training?"

Ma Yong asked quickly.

Xu Nuo finally saw that this Ma Yong was more active than himself.

"Hahahaha, Dr. Ma, you can make arrangements at any time if you are willing. As for the training of actors and other matters, we have already been preparing for it when our "Wandering Earth" project was confirmed. Now the training team is waiting for the actors."

Xu Nuo said with a smile.

I have already made preparations for my real space flight, and I have communicated with the space agency in place. As long as I have determined the role actors for the actual shooting of "The Wandering Earth" on the moon, I can start training at any time. Actors are trained to meet various standards for flying on space shuttles and spacecrafts, and landing on the moon.

"Okay, I listen to Director Xu. As long as Director Xu lets me go, I will go."

After Ma Yong heard that he would be able to arrange training soon, he was quite happy and looking forward to it.

"Dr. Ma, please prepare in the next two days. I will also confirm the actor for the role of Tu Hengyu. By then, you two will have a role to play together."

Xu Nuo explained: "In addition to you and Tu Hengyu, there are also roles such as Liu Peiqiang, Mao Zi, and Master Liu Peiqiang. Once the casting is finalized, we will arrange for you to conduct astronaut training together."

Regarding the plot of the moon, in addition to the 550 quantum computers and digital life involving Ma Zhao and Tu Hengyu, there is another very important plot where Liu Peiqiang and the others send nuclear bombs to the moon to blow up the moon. The main characters involved include Liu Peiqiang, Master Peiqiang, Mao Zinov and others.

Although their plots do not overlap with those of Ma Zhao and Tu Hengyu in On the Moon, when filming, they must have brought all the actors with them to shoot all the film materials in one go.

After all, the cost of a trip to the moon is not low. Even though the technology is relatively mature now, it is still a moon 38 kilometers away from the earth!
