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

Chapter 351 More audiences, higher box office!
Xu Nuo had thought that the box office target set by the system for "The Wandering Earth" would be relatively high.

Maybe 200 billion!

It could also be 250 billion!

Or even a little more, 300 billion?
Twice as much as "Spider-Man", this is already the "limit" that Xu Nuo expected. After all, the box office that a movie can create is limited. Although the domestic movie market has grown greatly in recent years, The increase has reached a scale of nearly [-] billion.

But with a scale of [-] billion, that is the box office that all movies can create in a year.

In fact, in a year, China can still produce several blockbusters, and several films with a box office of less than 50 billion, because now more and more domestic film and television producers and directors, after being influenced by Xu Nuo, They are all serious about making movies.

Even companies like Penguin Pictures, which once followed the traffic route, are now investing heavily in good scripts, training good directors, and using actors with a reputation for acting skills.

The page of the traffic era is gradually being turned over.

What Xu Nuo never expected was that this time the system actually set a box office target of 500 billion for "The Wandering Earth".

The difficulty has gone up sharply.

"500 billion, this has to become a hit in all regions around the world."

Xu Nuo couldn't help thinking about it.

After this box office target is announced, Xu Nuo will next make announcements around the 500 billion box office target.

After the closing ceremony, Xu Nuo returned to his Nanshan smart villa.

Zhou Youqing also followed Xu Nuo to the Nanshan Smart Villa and completed the recording work she wanted to do.

"Director Xu, what's wrong with you? You seem worried?"

After Zhou Youqing finished the recording work, she saw that Xu Nuo seemed a little sad, so she asked curiously.

"That's right, boss, you looked a little weird on the way back from the final ceremony."

The assistant Wen Ruohan on the side also asked quickly.

"Sir, is there anything you need me to do for you?"

Guan Ju also asked with concern.

"Is it that obvious?"

Seeing that the three beauties were all asking themselves questions, Xu Nuo smiled and said, "I'm thinking about how to do a good job in promoting "The Wandering Earth"."

"Boss, our "The Wandering Earth" is already so popular, so it's not too stressful to publish it, right?"

Assistant Wen Ruohan asked very puzzledly based on the current situation.

In the past half year or so, the movie "The Wandering Earth" has been showing off its charm, and its popularity has reached the top level. So what kind of promotion does it need?

You only need to follow the normal process, such as completing post-production editing and production, and then submitting it for review, confirming the release date, and confirming the normal work of a series of movies such as overseas simultaneous release. Once "The Wandering Earth" is released, it will definitely be a box office hit It's soaring, okay?
"I want the box office and audience numbers of "The Wandering Earth" to be even higher."

Xu Nuo murmured to himself.

If he wants to get the black technology of the 550 series quantum computer that he has longed for, as well as other black technologies including fusion, Xu Nuo must successfully complete the movie project "The Wandering Earth", and now the only thing standing in front of Xu Nuo is The box office target of 500 billion is a huge mountain.

By climbing over this mountain, Xu Nuo can obtain the black technology that can change the world and bring human civilization into a new era.

"Director Xu, if you want the box office of "The Wandering Earth" to be higher, then we can conduct a global tour in advance."

Zhou Youqing put forward her suggestion.

Xu Nuo likes girls who think carefully about the questions and ideas they raise.

"Um"

Xu Nuo nodded and said, "This can indeed be arranged."

With a strong cast, touring and promoting in various regions around the world, this is indeed a good way to increase the popularity and diffusion of "The Wandering Earth", which can play a certain role in improving the box office.

But this alone is definitely not enough. After all, the goal of 500 billion cannot be achieved by you constantly touring the world for screenings and promotions.

"That's all, Guan Ju, let's start with the post-editing and production of "The Wandering Earth". Youqing, Xiaowen, if you're tired, go upstairs and rest."

After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he gathered his thoughts, braced himself, and prepared to start editing the finished film of "The Wandering Earth".

According to previous practice, Xu Nuo personally arranged how to edit this work step. Of course, as for the specific editing work, it must be Guan Julai who did it.

Now that Guan Ju has the real No. [-] quantum computer, doing these tasks is simply a waste of time. The parts of the quantum computer cannot dissipate much heat during work.

"Well, okay, boss, don't stay up too late."

Wen Ruohan yawned and stretched before pulling Zhou Youqing to go upstairs: "Let's go, Sister Youqing, I haven't slept with you for a long time."

Zhou Youqing was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, you are such a small article, what kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

After assistants Wen Ruohan and Zhou Youqing went upstairs to rest and sleep, Xu Nuo began to edit "The Wandering Earth" seriously in front of his holographic desktop.

"Guan Ju, first of all, let's take the space elevator crisis as the first big plot, and just follow the timeline."

Looking at the large amount of shooting materials in the folder, Xu Nuo organized his thoughts and then said to Guan Ju in an orderly manner.

To be precise, we discussed it with Guan Ju, because Guan Ju is very familiar with these film materials.

"To start with, let's use digital life technology to start the process, and bring out the material shot by the actor Asan."

Xu Nuo thought for a while, and if he edited "The Wandering Earth" by himself, the basic framework should be based on the original version from the previous life on Earth.

The best option is not to make too many changes, and at most just make some optimizations to some of the details and consistency.

"Ok sir."

The next second, Guan Ju called up the movie clips that Xu Nuo wanted, all of which were taken by the actor Ah San in front of the video camera in the laboratory.

From the introduction of digital life technology, to digital life technology encountering obstacles in reality, and then being banned.

"I have to say, the actor of Ah San did a really good job."

Xu Nuo roughly went through these movie material clips, and they seemed to match the actor Ah San's performance state at that time.

Doesn’t this crush those traffic stars?
"First use this piece of material, and then continue this piece, starting from the 12th second, and then cut the scene, and then go to the clip 3 seconds after this piece. That's it for now. I'll see the effect."

Xu Nuo only needs to simply operate on the holographic display desktop, or directly use verbal voice commands, and Guan Ju can edit the picture Xu Nuo wants.

"Sir, take a look." Soon, Guan Ju cut out the opening paragraph.

"Okay, great."

After watching it, Xu Nuo was quite satisfied with actor Ah San's acting skills.

"The next step is the narration. For the narration, use a heavier male voice. At the same time, you can put the names of the producer and director in the narration."

Xu Nuo continued.

As AI Guanju is becoming more and more mature, her instructions to Xu Nuo will basically not go wrong. Even if she edits movie scenes like this, she can edit them to Xu Nuo's satisfaction. This would be If it were done by post-production staff, Xu Nuo might not be so satisfied.

"Hey, Guan Ju."

Xu Nuo suddenly thought of something, and smiled and said to Guan Ju: "We used a heavy male voice for the narration, so how about we use your voice for the dubbing of the character MOSS?"

Xu Nuo wanted to make a change.

That is to replace MOSS's voice in the original movie with Guan Ju's voice.

Because Guan Ju, as an AI entertainment superstar, uses the same female voice to release works around the world, this voice has become a symbol, and Guan Ju’s current status and popularity as an AI entertainment diva is no worse than that of a Hollywood superstar. .

Letting Guan Ju become a part of his movie "The Wandering Earth" will undoubtedly make many netizens who like the AI ​​Guan Ju go into the movie to watch "The Wandering Earth".

And when the time comes for the announcement, Xu Nuo can directly bring Guan Ju along with him.

Guan Ju, who was created by himself and cultivated to become a global AI entertainment queen and superstar, wouldn't it be a waste if he doesn't use it for a moment with such high popularity and popularity?

"Sir, do you need me to dub MOSS?"

Guan Ju asked.

"Yes."

Xu Nuo nodded immediately and said: "Just use your original voice."

In normal times, Xu Nuo would often ask Guan Ju to use different voices to interact with him on a daily basis.

But Guan Ju actually has an original voice, and this original voice is the voice that Guan Ju had when she was the "AI Entertainment Queen".

"Ok sir."

Guan Ju responded, and after a moment, she said: "In order to overcome your obsession with history, the present and the future, based on the learning of Tuyaya people in the circuit, the best choice to continue human civilization is to destroy mankind."

Obviously, Guan Ju said a line from MOSS.

"Sir, what do you think?"

"Well, it's a bit like that. When saying this line, it would be better if the tone is cooler."

Xu Nuo suggested.

"I didn't ask, sir."

After Guan Ju received Xu Nuo's suggestion, he said the lines he just said again.

This time I felt it. After hearing this, Xu Nuo got goosebumps all over his body: "Okay, okay, that's it, this is good!"

Let Guan Ju become the MOSS in the movie, and the AI ​​plays the role of AI. There is nothing wrong with that.

The most important thing is that Guan Ju is really famous. When they were on the Tiangong Space Station, Tiangong and Guan Ju had a debate about who would play MOSS.

Now considering that in order to gain more box office for "The Wandering Earth", making Guan Julai the MOSS is the best choice.

Xu Nuo and Guan Ju's investment made the night pass without them realizing it.

In the next few days, Xu Nuo basically devoted his time to editing the finished film of "The Wandering Earth".

A movie, no matter how awesome you are when you shoot it, what is ultimately shown on the big screen is the final film after editing.

If the final film is poorly edited, no matter how good you were at the time of filming, your film will eventually be a hit.

In this case, Xu Nuo has a very deep memory of a certain movie. The released version and the later edited version showed two very extreme reputations.

This movie is "Justice League"!
With this kind of experience, Xu Nuo must edit his own movie, not to mention how important "The Wandering Earth" is to Xu Nuo this time.

Whether we can master more powerful computing power, let AI truly serve the progress of human civilization, completely solve the problem of energy, and make our lives better depends on whether we can successfully complete the "Wandering Earth" movie project this time. , and got the black technology reward that Xu Nuo dreamed of.

In the end, it took Xu Nuo a week to edit the nearly three-hour film of "The Wandering Earth".

On the last day of the week, Xu Nuo watched the edited film several times and made optimizations.

Based on Xu Nuo's own level of appreciation, there is no problem with the final film. Xu Nuo even felt that the film he cut out was better than the original version. The only thing that made Xu Nuo feel "regret" "The thing is, since the actors are not the ones in the original version, for Xu Nuo, who has watched the original version of "The Wandering Earth", there is indeed a little bit of a "sense of disobedience".

However, this sense of disobedience only applies to Xu Nuo.

Because the people on this blue star are watching "The Wandering Earth" for the first time.

"Xiao Wen, our "The Wandering Earth" film has been edited. You can take it to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review. I hope the review process by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television can be faster."

Xu Nuo handed over the task of submitting the case to his assistant Wen Ruohan.

I began to think about how to promote my "The Wandering Earth" during the period when it is submitted for review, and between the time after review and the scheduled release date.

It is best not to take too long in between, that is, the sooner the submission is submitted for review, the better, and the date to be finalized should be as close as possible.

After all, if the interval is too long, and "The Wandering Earth" can't produce any major work, then the popularity will inevitably drop.

Taking advantage of the fact that "The Wandering Earth" is still very popular around the world, we will strike while the iron is hot and rush to the high ground. I believe that on the day when "The Wandering Earth" is released simultaneously around the world, it will definitely create a first-day box office miracle.

The higher the first-day box office, coupled with Xu Nuo's relatively confident word-of-mouth guarantee, will form a high box office foundation. Only in this way will it have the opportunity to hit the 500 billion box office target.

"Also, Xiaowen, please contact the actors of our "The Wandering Earth". After the film is submitted and reviewed, we will have to actively prepare for a global screening tour."

Xu Nuo gave instructions to his assistant Wen Ruohan again.

Actors such as Xiong Li, Ma Yong, Feng Shuwan, Zhou Youqing, Artyom, Quit Hansen, Bai Yutang, Chen Xuehua, etc. are all very well-known. We took them to hold the "Wandering" event. The tour screening activities of "Earth" will naturally play a certain role in increasing the popularity of "The Wandering Earth".

Later, Xu Nuo called Director He Feiyang and Wang Shifeng respectively.

Ask them about the progress of the filming of "The Wandering Earth: Dulles" and "The Wandering Earth: Tokyo".
