China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 233 Full movie schedule

DreamWorks, which has been dubbed by netizens as "the best in both film and television", held a high-level meeting at the cusp of this crisis to determine and sort out the company's future project plans.

Currently, one of the movies that DreamWorks has completed and is waiting to be released is "Operation Mekong." Although DreamWorks accounts for half of the investment share of this movie, the main production of this movie is actually done by China Film Studio, and it has been scheduled for Spring Festival next year.

With the strength of National Film, there is basically no need for DreamWorks to make any efforts in publicity. Of course, as the director, Guo Fan, and Chen Jingxing, as the producer and main screenwriter, they will definitely still have to participate in the publicity, but although the Spring Festival movie promotion work

It needs to be prepared and started in advance, but it is still more than five months before the 2016 Spring Festival, so it is still too early.

There is another project in post-production - "Gravity", which will not be completed until at least next year, and will also be the highlight of DreamWorks next year.

In addition to Chen Jingxing's own "The Matrix", projects under preparation include Guo Fan's "Edge of Tomorrow".

The leading actors of "Edge of Tomorrow" are all in place. Wu Jing and Li Bingbing are both well-known actors, and the cast lineup is not bad. In addition, the theme of the film is a science fiction war film, and many brands have already approached them.

Sponsored, DreamWorks is negotiating with the other party.

If it goes well, it will also reduce a lot of pressure on production costs. The production budget of "Edge of Tomorrow" is as high as more than 350 million. It is the second most invested film project by DreamWorks at present. Even if it is placed in the entire Chinese film and television industry, it will definitely be

It's the first grade.

However, Penguin Video and Fantasy World also participated in the investment, coupled with the popularity of "Source Code", "Tang Detective", and the popularity of "Signal" - the copyright income alone has recovered the production cost of the TV series and also paid off.

Some make money.

Although the video website's on-demand advertising split has not yet arrived, there is definitely a lot of it based on existing data analysis, and it has also attracted many overseas TV stations to want to purchase it. DreamWorks is working with Japan, South Korea, Siam, South Vietnam and other countries

TV stations in these countries are negotiating the price of copyrights. Of course, the TV stations in these countries will not bid very high. Their domestic markets are not big, and the TV stations are far less wealthy than the domestic first-tier satellite TV stations.

Regarding the casting of the movie, especially the choice of male and female protagonists, Tian Xinye already had a list of candidates when he was perfecting the script. Although the creativity and main line framework of the script were given by Chen Jingxing, in the process of the script taking shape, "Mirage" has already

It's Tian Xinye's movie, and Chen Jingxing respects the director's autonomy, whether it's Guo Fan or Tian Xinye.

In addition, there are overseas Internet copyrights, and it is still Netflix. The agreement is almost finalized. If nothing unexpected happens, the final copyright price will reach 8 million US dollars, making it the most expensive TV series purchased by Netflix in Asia.

However, the high quality of "Signal" is all-round, and there are no shortcomings. Most people may only be able to see whether the script is good or not, but there are still many people, especially viewers who watch more films and more professional media, who can watch it.

The lens language in the play can be called an artistic level.

Tian Xinye, whose fame has soared, has also received many interviews and event invitations, but he still maintains a low profile. It is not that he has no ambition for fame and fortune, but he is busy improving and creating the script of "Signal: Mirage", which will be directed by him

For the first movie, any director will have a movie dream. Tian Xinye, whose dream is waving in front of him, has almost no extra energy to deal with the fame and fortune that is coming to him.

Although most media and netizens attribute the credit to Chen Jingxing, after all, Chen Jingxing is the screenwriter of "The Signal". Audiences will pay more attention to the script and screenwriter when evaluating TV series. In addition, Tian Xinye's previous works were all bad dramas. Naturally, many people

One would think that Tian Xinye is Chen Jingxing’s “champion”, and there is even an argument that Chen Jingxing was the behind-the-scenes guide during the filming.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is mainly about the industrial design of alien monster images and futuristic sci-fi equipment such as mechas and airplanes, which is time-consuming. The training of actors also takes at least two months, so the film's producer and Guo Fan both

It is expected that "Edge of Tomorrow" will be launched in November.

In addition, because it is not a movie directed by Chen Jingxing, Tian Xinye does not have enough fans and fans. He is not the kind of topical director, and he also needs a relatively well-known star to bring enough starlight and popularity.

It can be said that although "The Signal" is a TV series, its revenue will never be much less than that of many box office hits.

In addition to the discussions on the actors' acting skills and plot in major forums, there are also heated discussions on the split shots, transitions, lighting, composition, etc. of "The Signal". There are various pictures that can be used as screensavers and analysis of the composition of the pictures.

It also left many viewers unaware.

In addition to Guo Fan's projects, another star director of DreamWorks - Tian Xinye is also not idle. Due to the phenomenal performance of "Signal", his reputation has soared and he is second only to Chen Jingxing in the company. After all, Guo Fan's

"Mekong" has not yet been released and his reputation is not obvious, so in the eyes of outsiders, Tian Xinye is already the number two director in DreamWorks' ranking.

The heroine candidate provided by Tian Xinye is Zhao Liying. First of all, she is of the right age and is good at characters who are simple, kind and mentally tough. Although she has not acted in many modern dramas, she is actually more malleable in modern costumes.

With three blockbuster movies and TV series, DreamWorks did not experience any financial pressure even under the constant consumption of Mo and "Gravity", two big money hogs.

The script of "Mirage" has been basically completed through the efforts of Tian Xinye and several screenwriters. At this meeting, the project was unanimously approved and can immediately enter the preparation process.

The casting of the male protagonist is due to the film's narrative structure - the reversal of the male protagonist's identity is a highlight of the movie and a surprise for the audience's viewing experience. It is helpful to ensure that the audience's positioning of the male protagonist in the early and middle stages of the movie

The heroine regains her identity as a police supporting character. In order to cooperate with this narrative trick, the script also sets up corresponding interference items. The husband and male friends of the heroine's first timeline are part of the cover-up.

Therefore, the casting of the male protagonist cannot use a well-known actor, otherwise it will overshadow the main role and destroy the final reverse narrative structure. In the eyes of the audience, can the role played by such a famous star be an ordinary police role? There must be others.

Presumably, the final surprise of the movie will be revealed in advance.

Out of this consideration, Tian Xinye proposed the candidate Bai Yu, an actor who had collaborated with him in Penguin Video.

Bai Yu once played the second male lead in an online drama produced by Tian Xinye, and is still struggling in the online drama circle. However, his acting skills are good among young actors. He is a very talented and hard-working actor, but there is no one.

It's just a great opportunity to prove yourself.
