Chapter 110 We Can't Make Sci-Fi Blockbusters

During Lin Weixi's live broadcast, Wah Haw Entertainment held another meeting.

At the meeting, Hua Tao, the director of "Sea Fortress", also came, and Zhou Xun was sitting with him.

"Director Hua, we will arrange for you and Zhou Xun to hold a press conference together to answer questions about "Sea Fortress", hoping to restore some reputation."

"Sea Fortress" has been released for more than half a month, and the director can no longer be an ostrich.

Find some excuses, it's okay to shake the pot.

Hua Tao was very calm at this time. After all, he was a person who had seen big storms, and his status in the industry even overwhelmed Lin Yimou.

The tragedy of Waterloo this time was also vaguely expected.

His original idea was actually very good, he just wanted to direct "Sea Fortress" and make himself the No.1 that opened the door to domestic sci-fi movies!
No.1, what a coveted identity.

Unfortunately, after the producer sent Zhou Xun and Yang Yao, he felt bad.

But the contract is signed, and the money is taken, so there is no way to go back on your word.

He can only do his best to make a good shot, and it turns out that his best efforts are not worth mentioning.

"Hey, with the current domestic level, it is very difficult for us to make a good sci-fi blockbuster." Hua Tao shook his head, "The press conference should start from this point. The director friends I know, whether it is A famous director is still a young director, and he ran away as soon as he heard that he was making a science fiction film, and making a science fiction film is a thankless job."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other and nodded.

Anyway, there is no real sci-fi blockbuster in China. As an explorer, I have taken a crucial step. Although this step is on shit, I shouldn't be criticized maliciously.

"Director Hua, I'll listen to you." Zhou Xun is very honest now, without any big-name airs, and humbly put forward his own opinions, "Actually, we can also criticize "Zhu Xian". Who knows how to make ancient costume romance dramas? Who doesn't?" Can act? What is there to admire about him, Lu Changming?"

"Don't say that, you will be labeled as jealous, don't mention "Zhu Xian" at the press conference." Hua Tao said sternly, making Zhou Xun's eyes shrink.

On the second day, Wow Haw Entertainment held a press conference to answer questions from friends from all walks of life about the movie "Fortress at Sea".

Many media have sent reporters to interview director Hua Tao and actor Zhou Xun with many questions.

The press conference was also successfully listed on the trending searches, and its video interview clips were played millions of times, and the number is still soaring.

At the press conference, Hua Tao answered the question of why the filming of "Sea Fortress" was so bad.

His words were astonishing: There is simply not enough background in China to make an excellent science fiction film. I am just a pathfinder, and I just went the wrong way.

This pot was very good, and it was directly on the hot search, which aroused heated discussions among netizens.

There are approvals and criticisms.

"Director Hua is also a real person. It can only be said that he is not good at shooting sci-fi films, but he is right as a pathfinder."

"I'm throwing up, you fucking filmed sci-fi as romance, and then said that sci-fi films can't be made in China?"

"Garbage directors, garbage actors, garbage scripts, garbage in themselves, throwing the blame on the domestic environment?"

There were many debates, and finally it even turned into a big national question: Can science fiction blockbusters be made in China?

This controversy lasted for a long time until "Sea Fortress" was released.

One month, no more, no less.

The box office totaled 5.2 million, which was paid back, but the scolding was also earned, and the reputation of Hua Tao and Zhou Xun was blackened a lot.

And "Zhu Xian" has a total box office of 25.7 billion, and the theater announced that the screening will be extended for one month!

At this time, the popularity of "Zhu Xian" is not much, but the one-month extension of the screening still caused a lot of heated discussions.

""Zhu Xian" may break through 30 billion at the box office, it's too strong!"

Feiteng Film and Television Base, Studio 15.

The base is back in the hands of Lu Changming. He came to make preparations last week. He is wearing dirty clothes and analyzing the script with a frown.

Outside, Lin Yimou entered excitedly.

"Xiao Lu, the schedule of "Zhu Xian" has been extended, and the box office is estimated to exceed 30 billion!" Lin Yimou was overjoyed.

This is his first movie that is expected to exceed 30 billion box office, and it is only the first episode. If the next episode is released, it may break through 50 billion box office in one fell swoop.

Then make history.

"It's not normal for an ancient costume romance movie to have such a high box office." Lu Changming looked up, "There was too much controversy before the release, and "Sea Fortress" was too bad, which triggered the audience's vicious pursuit of "Zhu Xian."

Lin Yimou's face straightened: "It's true. The second part probably won't have much box office. We have to choose a good time to release it."

"There is still a billion or so." Lu Changming stretched his waist. He can pour cold water on Lin Yimou at will. The two are already close, like a son-in-law and a father-in-law.

"Xiao Lu, I actually think that with your talent, it's a bit inferior to make a romantic drama." Lin Yimou suddenly said that he has completely convinced Lu Changming's director ability now.

Lu Changming couldn't deny it: "How can there be such a thing as being inferior? Every movie should be made with heart."

"Then do you want to challenge a sci-fi movie? Hua Tao said that there are no blockbuster sci-fi movies made in China." Lin Yi smiled strangely, "Seeing how miserable he is, I feel sorry for him."

"He said that?" Lu Changming was a little surprised. As a famous director, Hua Tao shouldn't say such things.

"It's just to get rid of the blame, but there really hasn't been a real sci-fi blockbuster filmed in China. Hua Tao was also impatient, and wanted to eat hot tofu to make his name go down in history, but he got sucked in." Lin Yimou sighed with emotion.

He never dared to make a science fiction film.

Lu Changming pondered. As a director, he also has a business vision.

The domestic film and television industry lacks a true sci-fi blockbuster. If anyone can fill the gap, it will be sought after by thousands of people!

Lu Changming suddenly thought of "Three-Body Problem".

If "The Three-Body Problem" is filmed, it will be really incredible.

But the difficulty of shooting it is also unimaginable. I am afraid that 99% of directors dare not challenge it.

But who is Lu Changming?Hang on to the director.

I, Lu Changming, really screwed up!

"Director Lin, I'll make a call first." Lu Changming got up and called Jiang Dong, the editor of World Tree Publishing House.

It's been a long time since I called, but Jiang Dong still answered in seconds.

"Mr. Changming, what are your orders?" Jiang Dong could be called a humble boy, and he was delighted to receive a call from Lu Changming.

"Editor Jiang, what's the current situation of The Three-Body Problem?"

"Very good. After winning the Yinhe Award and Tao Siyin's publicity, the sales volume has skyrocketed. At present, 18 copies have been sold..." Jiang Dong said a lot, and finally mentioned an important thing.

"Mr. Chang Ming, "The Three-Body Problem" already has an English version, and the response overseas is also good. Next year, it will be recommended by the Asian Science Fiction Association to the International Science Fiction Association, and then it will be sent to participate in the Hugo Awards. Maybe it can be nominated." Jiang Jiang Dong was very excited.

What an honor to be nominated for a Hugo Award?

Although there is no actual award, the nomination is enough to publicize for a long time.

"Can't you just win the Hugo Award?" Lu Changming was not satisfied with the nomination.

Jiang Dong froze, and said with a dry smile: "This difficulty is too high. No literary work in China or even in Asia has won the Hugo Award. It is an exclusive award for Europe and the United States. If "Three-Body" wins, the science fiction literature world may be bigger. Earthquake, you are also a god."
