China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 356 Inception

After all, it is a new force, and the DreamWorks team is very capable. Ever since Chen Jingxing held a meeting that day and decided to hold a "director's talent show," all departments started to get in touch with Penguin Video and Fantasy World.

After all, Penguin Video and Fantasy World are shareholders of DreamWorks and have been partners for many years. Naturally, they need to communicate with these two streaming media giants first. If they both refuse, Chen Jingxing will have no choice but to find other partners.

Fortunately, Huanshi.com responded quite positively. In fact, when Chen Jingxing was willing to sell the exclusive copyright, the two major platforms were already interested. However, Huanshi.com acted faster because they were not interested in what Chen Jingxing called this "director's talent show" variety show.

The program is very interesting.

Although there are doubts within Fantasy World about whether such a program can attract viewers, Fantasy World does not have to bear the risk itself. DreamWorks promises to fully bear the production costs, and Fantasy World only needs to promote it.

In the end, the two parties reached an agreement. DreamWorks will bear 70% of the production cost, and Fantasy World will bear 30%. They will jointly produce such a variety show. Of course, Fantasy World will make great concessions to DreamWorks in terms of advertising and member on-demand accounts.

.

As a judge of this weird director talent show, Chen Jingxing naturally had to take some time off, so "The Matrix II" that fans were calling for could not be launched immediately. However, he did not sit idle, but took advantage of this rare opportunity.

During my free time, I started thinking about the movie script I would shoot later.

Of course it's not "The Matrix II" or "The Matrix III". The "Matrix" trilogy itself is a complete story. The script has been perfected long ago and cannot be modified casually.

It's not "District 9" either. Chen Jingxing has handed over the story framework of "District 9" to Tian Xinye. The first season of "The Walking Dead" has been completed. The filming of the second season will not start immediately. At least we have to wait and see.

The response after the first season is aired will determine whether there will be a follow-up.

Besides, Tian Xinye will not be hired for the second season of "The Walking Dead". He obviously likes to make movies, and this is also a path that is very suitable for Tian Xinye. He is a natural film director, and his camera language is rare.

The reason why Tian Xinye was put in charge of "The Walking Dead" was because he couldn't find a suitable director, so Chen Jingxing wanted to hold a director audition to add talented and potential directors to DreamWorks.

That is to use the instrument that invades the dreamland itself as the introduction to the entire story.

Obviously, such a setting cannot pass the review unless the national background of the protagonist's family is set to another country, such as Siam.

Except for Huanshi.com's persuasion to persuade DreamWorks to accept the audience's on-site voting and online voting support - although it was useless.

While Chen Jingxing was thinking hard about the script, the news that DreamWorks and Fantasy World were joining forces to launch a director talent show had already swept the Internet.

In terms of difficulty, it is naturally higher than Inception and more mysterious, laying a solid foundation for the final climax of the entire movie.

But who DreamWorks chooses as the director of "Black Mirror II" has nothing to do with these things. Honor is honor, benefit is benefit. It is the freedom of DreamWorks to choose who they like.

Chen Jingxing thought of another pinnacle of dream-themed works, "Red Hot Chili Peppers". He felt that the story structure of "Red Hot Chili Peppers" could be applied to "Inception", so that the problem of censorship could be avoided to a large extent.

.

Theft of equipment is a big deal. It may not have the physical power of nuclear weapons, but it may be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. If it falls into the hands of other countries or KB organizations, it will be very dangerous even if it falls into the hands of criminals.

However, there are naturally difficulties in making this movie, and it is structurally difficult, similar to "Source Code".

Or maybe the combination of the two is too amazing - the winner of "The Birth of a Director" will get the opportunity to direct a DreamWorks film and television series.

If a director whom the audience despises wins the favor of Chen Jingxing and directs "Black Mirror", then "Black Mirror" will also have ready-made popularity. After "Black Mirror II" is released, the unconvinced audience will have to

Go and see what the level of the works produced by the "junk directors" in your eyes is?

Anyway, as long as the rules of the program are clearly stated in advance, the program team will select one, two, and three based on on-site voting and online voting. Any champion, runner-up, third runner-up, gold medal, silver medal, and bronze medal can all be arranged.

If the country is not changed, then the plot will definitely need some magical changes.

Fantasy World and DreamWorks are still moving very quickly, because the entire selection rules are not complicated, and DreamWorks is more urgent. After all, the scripts for the five stories in the second season of "Black Mirror" have been prepared. This

For Fantasy World, the program is an attempt to innovate the variety show genre, but for DreamWorks, it has actual needs.

This is the overall goal of the male protagonist's actions in the entire movie. He agreed to the tycoon's risk to plan and execute the entire dream-planting operation just to return to China and reunite with his children.

Chen Jingxing doesn't want to "follow the rules", he only wants talent. If he just wants a director who can make movies and TV series, there are many on the market. What he wants is a talented director. The reputation of DreamWorks' works is not only supported by the script, but also

The scripts produced by different directors have different effects.

The male protagonist and his wife were both developers of instruments. One day, his wife committed suicide by jumping off a building. The male protagonist fell into pain and nightmares day and night. As a result, he was negligent and the instrument he was responsible for was stolen.

Therefore, the name of this movie is also Inception. It may be more appropriate to translate it as "Foundation", or it may be more appropriate to translate it as "Dream Planting/Memory Planting Space", which is more in line with the meaning of the movie itself, although this kind of name does not feel very cool.

Although Chen Jingxing doesn't like some unknown directors, if they can earn a ranking, win a gold or silver award, this is not only a resume, but also comes with exposure, and exposure is fame.

"Inception" is considered a leader in the theme of dreams. It can even be called the pinnacle. The logic is quite strict and complex. The imagination of the structure of the first, second, third and fourth floors of the dream is amazing. The rhythm is fascinating. It is considered complete.

A very high degree of brain-burning film.

With fame and reputation, maybe an advertising company will come to someone who couldn't even get a commercial in the first place. Once they get a commercial, they will be even more famous, and more people will come looking for them. Those who have ready-made scripts may be able to fool them.

Come invest.

In the end, the audience does not have any decision-making power as to whether he will be the director of "Black Mirror". It is up to the judges, or in other words, Chen Jingxing.

The key is that the tycoon threatens the male protagonist with the promise of helping him get rid of the crime of killing his wife, and the last phone call allows the wanted male protagonist to go into exile overseas and successfully pass the immigration customs.

The male protagonist and his companions embarked on a journey to retrieve the instrument, and came to Europe based on clues. There were clues that led them to suspect that a tycoon was the mastermind behind the theft of the instrument, so they entered the tycoon's dream through the instrument they carried, trying to steal it.

He found out where the instrument was hidden, and then got involved in a transnational business dispute...

Chen Jingxing doesn’t have any objections to the name Inception. It makes you think it’s dream stealing, but it’s actually dream planting. This is also a surprise.

As the male protagonist, the Dream Stealer was assigned by Compaq to steal ideas from a Japanese tycoon. The mission failed, but the tycoon took a fancy to his ability to steal dreams, so he gave the male protagonist a mission to work as a young man in a monopoly company.

At the heir's place, he changes his mind about inheriting the monopoly through dream stealing. In exchange, the tycoon can help the male protagonist get rid of the crime of killing his wife, end his escape life and return to the United States.

So how to change it?

The script Chen Jingxing was pondering during this spare time was "Inception".

Wouldn't it be better if there was a dispute?

To the surprise of many people within DreamWorks and Fantasy World, this news created quite a buzz as soon as it was released online.

Moreover, each episode of "Black Mirror II" is more than 90 minutes long, so are they considered independent online movies?

Hey guys, "Black Mirror" has changed from a miniseries to a minimovie?

In fact, this kind of program setting is not without its benefits. Competitive variety shows are all about promotion or first, second, and third place, but not necessarily those who participate are here for the championship. Exposure itself is wealth, and it can be the goal.

An instrument that can invade other people's dreams is a top-secret instrument. It was first used to treat mental illness and later had some military uses.

"The Birth of a Director"?

Director talent show variety show?

DreamWorks pays to create short films?

And compete for the gold medal?

DreamWorks will select five directors to direct the five stories of "Black Mirror II"?

Maybe it’s because the director’s selection is so new that no one has seen it, or maybe it’s because “Black Mirror” transformed into an online movie, which is surprising.

It would be better if the whole story structure was changed to this.

In short, try to make everyone happy. Even if Chen Jingxing is not interested, you can still gain honor and fame.

In Chen Jingxing's opinion, the fundamental reason why this story is better than other film and television animation works of the same type is that the core of "Inception" is dream planting, not dream stealing. Dream planting is the narrative backbone of this film.

As for Chen Jingxing, the winner of the audience vote, if the top five in the audience's eyes are not the five directors Chen Jingxing finally selected, it has nothing to do with Huanshi.com.

But after all, it is a variety show. Regardless of whether Huanshi.com is optimistic about it or not, it must try its best to push it towards commercialization. At least it must give the audience a sense of interaction and participation, right?

How can a reality show be called a reality show if it doesn't have any controversy? The bigger the controversy, the better. Maybe DreamWorks actually has the same idea.

In any case, netizens suddenly became interested in this variety show.

After all, it is the first variety show of DreamWorks, and Chen Jingxing, Guo Fan and other great directors of DreamWorks will be judges.

You must know that usually the judges of such talent shows are not necessarily "professional counterparts". The program team is focused on attention and ratings. "The Birth of a Director" is quite professional in this regard.

Not to mention that it is very rare for a director of Chen Jingxing's level to personally serve as a judge on a variety show.
