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

Chapter 303 is another great first time for mankind!
After Xu Nuo confirmed all the main actors of "The Wandering Earth", the remaining roles were handed over to his casting director team.

After all, it is impossible for Xu Nuo to personally audition and select every role. This time, "The Wandering Earth" requires many actors from all over the world. If Xu Nuo can do all this work, then the next series of Xu Nuo did not have to make arrangements for the filming of "The Wandering Earth" because it would not be enough time.

In addition to roles such as Liu Peiqiang, Ma Zhao, Tu Hengyu, Zhang Peng, and Mao Zinuofu, Xu Nuo has also chosen roles such as Zhou Zhezhi, Hao Xiaoxi, and Han Duoduo.

It is not difficult to determine the female role, because Xu Nuo has trained several actresses over the years.

Among them are Zhou Youqing, Cheng Zhixin and Feng Shuwan.

So Xu Nuo contacted the three of them and arranged three female characters for each of them.

Among them, Zhou Youqing plays Han Duoduo, and Cheng Zhixin plays the fake Han Duoduo in the space elevator, who was played by Clara in the previous life on earth.

As for Feng Shuwan, Xu Nuo thinks that her temperament and image are more suitable for Hao Xiaoxi, but Feng Shuwan may look a little younger. After all, Feng Shuwan is only eighteen or nineteen years old.

But this is not a big problem. Feng Shuwan can be made to look more like Hao Xiaoxi through makeup.

There is also a very important character in "The Wandering Earth". This character is Zhou Zhezhi!
This role is not one that ordinary people can play. First of all, it must be an older actor. To put it bluntly, it requires veteran actors.

Fortunately, for China's entertainment industry, there is actually no shortage of veteran actors. What was lacking before was young actors. After all, the younger generation had been transformed into traffic by capital such as Penguin Entertainment.

So Xu Nuo chose an actor among the veteran actors in China who was more in line with Zhou Zhezhi's temperament. His name was Chen Xuehua, a national first-class actor.

In fact, Chen Xuehua, a national first-class actor, has "retired" in the past two years, that is, he has begun to spend his old age in peace and no longer participates in various entertainment programs.

At first, when Xu Nuo learned that teacher Chen Xuehua had "retired", he didn't force it and planned to find another veteran actor.

But when Chen Xuehua heard that this was a movie directed by Xu Nuo, he said to the crew and Xu Nuo, "You are stronger when you are old", and then agreed to join the crew of "The Wandering Earth" and play the role of Zhou Zhezhi!
This made Xu Nuo very happy.

After all, Xu Nuo believes that teacher Chen Xuehua is the most suitable actor to play the role of Zhou Zhezhi. If he chooses another veteran domestic drama actor, it always feels a little less interesting.

After Xu Nuo settled the casting matters, he let the actors who would follow the crew to the sky and the moon to start shooting.

The training was jointly organized by Xu Nuo’s real space agency and the space agency.

Xu Nuo then contacted the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration to prepare for detailed discussions about the crew going to space and to the moon.

The Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration handed over the discussion of this matter to Colonel Luo Wei and the Space Administration's Li Yunxiao respectively.

On this day, Colonel Luo Wei and Li Yunxiao came to the Nanshan Smart Villa in Yuzhou City. Today, they will finalize the detailed plan to go to the sky and the moon with Xu Nuo.

"Lao Luo, Xiao Li, you two arrived so soon?"

Xu Nuo personally came to the door of his Nanshan smart villa to greet these two old friends.

To be precise, it should be an old friend and a young fan.

Needless to say, the relationship between Colonel Luo Wei and Xu Nuo goes without saying. The fact that Xu Nuo's real group can reach its current scale is inseparable from the bridge that Colonel Luo Wei built for Xu Nuo with the military and the Science and Technology Administration.

As for Li Yunxiao, he became obsessed with Xu Nuo after he developed AI, and has since become a little fanboy. Most of the communications between the real group and the space agency are based on Li Yunxiao. bridge.

"Old Xu."

Colonel Luo Wei came to Xu Nuo, and the two met again. A simple handshake expressed their friendship.

This is the first time Xu Nuo has seen Colonel Luo Wei since the last joint meeting.

In fact, the last joint meeting also discussed things about outer space, the moon, and "The Wandering Earth".

But at that time, we were talking about general directions, such as determining the role of the Real Group in the development and construction of the moon, preparing to make "The Wandering Earth" into a movie, and talking about the space elevator with the Science and Technology Department and the Space Administration. Son.

They are all big things, but this time Colonel Luo Wei and Li Yunxiao came over to talk about more specific things. For example, if Xu Nuo goes to the moon to film "The Wandering Earth", how many people will he take with him and when? How to wait for various questions.

These matters need to be coordinated with the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration. Otherwise, although it may be possible to rely solely on Xu Nuo's real spaceflight, some unnecessary problems will inevitably arise.

Whether it is outer space or the moon, although Xu Nuo's real spaceflight has the ability to go up independently, without official "support" and "coordination", after all, it is still impossible to do everything it wants to do.

"Director Xu, I'm so excited to see you again. Just what you told me last time, about the use of quantum computers in AI can cause..."

As soon as Li Yunxiao came up, he excitedly greeted his idol, and then started talking about computers.

"Xiao Li, stop it first. We are not here for you to discuss computer science and technology topics with Lao Xu."

Colonel Luo Wei stopped Li Yunxiao in time. Otherwise, if Li Yunxiao and Xu Nuo were allowed to talk about computers, especially quantum computers, they would probably be able to talk for three days and three nights.

"Hey, I couldn't hold it back for a while."

Li Yunxiao scratched his head and said honestly, then he took a sniff, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "It smells so good!"

"You came just in time. Guan Ju is making lunch. You are in for a treat."

Xu Nuo smiled and said to Colonel Luo Wei and Li Yunxiao, and then invited them to his Nanshan smart villa.

It happened that I could discuss with Colonel Luo Wei and Li Yunxiao at the lunch table about the crew of their "The Wandering Earth" film going to outer space and the moon for real-life shooting.

"Sit down first. You two have worked hard to get here. Take a rest and try Guan Ju's craftsmanship later."

Xu Nuo did not take the two of them to the underground base downstairs, but to the living room on the first floor.

At this time, assistant Wen Ruohan came up from downstairs to the first floor: "Boss, people from Real Aerospace are already with the space agency, and the training for our "Wandering Earth" actors has begun. Hey, how are you guys?"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Ruohan saw the two people on the sofa in the living room and said hello.

"Boss, the actor's training has officially begun. Let me ask you, boss, whether the training speed should be fast or slow? Because it depends on when you want to start shooting the movie."

Wen Ruohan continued to ask his boss Xu Nuo.

The real aerospace and space bureau can train Ma Yong, Xiong Li and other actors who will go to space and the moon to meet the standards of being able to enter outer space and the moon. The time period of this training, It can be fast or slow, it depends on how Xu Nuo decides.

Because if Xu Nuo starts shooting "The Wandering Earth" earlier, he can strengthen his training and make the training cycle a little shorter. If he is not in a hurry to start filming "The Wandering Earth", he can train at the normal speed.

"It's not that urgent. Let the real space agency and the space agency train normally. I definitely still have a lot of preparation work to do." Xu Nuo thought for a moment and said to his assistant Wen Ruohan.

“There’s definitely a lot of preparation to be done.”

Colonel Luo Wei also nodded and said with a smile: "This is another milestone for us humans. In addition to the technology team, the cultural and entertainment team can also go to the moon."

Before Xu Nuo's film crew went to the moon, the people on the moon were basically all kinds of scientists, engineers and other people in science and technology. But this time, Xu Nuo will take the film crew to the moon to shoot a movie. , this is the first time that mankind has extended its cultural and entertainment tentacles to the moon!

"Okay boss, this is really the first time, the first time for mankind. Boss, you have to complete another first time."

When Wen Ruohan heard what Colonel Luo Wei said, he reacted with surprise and immediately praised his boss.

The first time he did it was too much, but this first time was quite special. After all, it was the moon. Who would have dared to think that a movie crew could go to the moon before?
It used to be difficult even for people to get up there!
Now, except for the country, the United States, which has been to the moon before, is now very difficult to land on the moon again.

Speaking of which, the United States is still rushing to think of ways to realize the moon landing plan, but here in China, we are already preparing to send movie crews to shoot movies.

This gap is not that big!
As the dishes prepared by Guan Ju were served one after another, Xu Nuo, Colonel Luo Wei and Li Yunxiao also had lunch together, and by the way they started chatting about the movie crew going to the moon.

"Old Xu, this time you went to the moon to shoot the scene. How did the film crew arrange it?"

Colonel Luo Wei asked seriously.

"I thought about it. This time when we go to outer space and the moon, the fewer people there, the better."

Xu Nuo then said to Colonel Luo Wei: "So in addition to the necessary actors, I am the director."

"Other crew members don't bring them?"

Li Yunxiao asked curiously.

"I won't bring it this time." Xu Nuo shook his head calmly.

After all, every time you bring one more person, there will be more uncertainty, and the crew is different from the actors. There is no need to go to outer space or go to the moon for filming work.

The actors have no choice. If Xu Nuo wants to complete the real shooting, actors are definitely indispensable, but crew members such as photographers are not necessarily indispensable.

Because even if there is no photographer, Xu Nuo has other ways to complete the filming work on the moon. After all, Xu Nuo is very good at building robots, and Xu Nuo also has a steel suit and an unmanned steel suit.

When filming "Spider-Man" before, didn't we use the unmanned steel suit?

Needless to say, there is a difference in risk and sense of security between a pile of metal going to the moon and a person going to the moon.

"Then what are your plans, Lao Xu?"

Colonel Luo Wei wanted to ask Xu Nuo about his specific plan.

"For filming, it can be left to a robot, or Guan Ju can control the steel suit. This can be done. As for other supporting roles, I think the staff on our moon base can make a cameo, right?"

Xu Nuo told Colonel Luo Wei in detail.

"That's no problem. We people on the moon always complain that besides work, there are too few other activities on the moon. It would definitely be a good thing if I could star in "The Wandering Earth" directed by Xu. Son."

Li Yunxiao said quickly at this time.

"That's true. Director Chen has already asked the space agency to ask the astronauts and scientists on the moon about this matter. They are really looking forward to participating in your "The Wandering Earth" when the time comes."

Colonel Luo Wei smiled and nodded and said.

"That's good."

Xu Nuo said with great satisfaction: "Except for the props, actors and myself as the director, there is no need for other personnel to go to outer space and the moon together."

"Then make a list of the props and equipment you need to bring with you. I will take it back to Chen Department and the others to take a look at it, and then make specific arrangements based on these props and equipment, as well as your crew members."

Colonel Luo Wei said to Xu Nuo clearly.

Because only after these personnel, props and equipment are determined, corresponding space arrangements can be made.

"Okay, but since all the props and equipment have not been manufactured yet, some data will have to be submitted to you later."

Xu Nuo has not yet determined which sets of unmanned steel suits he will bring, as well as other equipment and props required for filming "The Wandering Earth", which are still being manufactured in full swing.

"Old Xu, on the moon, if you use Guan Ju, robots, steel suits, and unmanned steel suits, the environment may not be ideal."

Colonel Luo Wei suddenly frowned and said.

Because it is the moon, communications, networks, signals, etc. are not as developed as on the earth.

If you want to control robots and unmanned steel suits, or even use AI like Guan Ju, the above are essential.

"A computer, signaling equipment, etc. are needed."

Xu Nuo said calmly.

"It would be difficult for a general computer to control the equipment you mentioned. Although we have computing equipment on the moon, it is prepared for another experiment."

Colonel Luo Wei said slightly embarrassed.

"After the Zhen-[-] quantum computer was built, the team has not been idle. It is expected that in half a month, the second quantum computer Zhen-[-] that can be carried to the moon will be launched."

Xu Nuo had already made arrangements.

As long as there is a portable quantum computer device, then even on the moon, coupled with other equipment, the control of AI Guanju, unmanned steel suits, and other robots can be successfully realized.

"Lao Luo, what was the other experiment you just mentioned?"

Suddenly, Xu Nuo looked at Colonel Luo Wei curiously and asked.
