China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 580 No doubt bad movie

"The Past of Earth" started filming quite low-key. Except for Chen Jingxing's fans and the fans of the starring actors, not many people noticed it.

"Suspect Tracking III" is still at the forefront of the Internet. Discussion on topics about this drama, interpretation of film reviews and second-creation works are still ongoing.

Even the popularity of the summer season of the movie market has been suppressed by it.

Since the popularity of "Sky Eagle Warrior" faded, no movies in the summer season have caused public discussion and entered the center of public opinion. Several domestic films of various types have good reputations, but there have been no large-scale box office giants.

Even the box office of the blockbuster "Injustice" was only 1.4 billion. Although it is still the second largest box office for this comic-adapted blockbuster except the North American market, the Chinese market's indifference to Hollywood's super British theme has been revealed.

In the second half of the summer season, another blockbuster will finally be released.

"The King of the Sky"

An air combat blockbuster produced by Jianghe Culture and Guoying, directed by the Air Force and Aviation Industry Group.

It is also the second air combat military film in China after "Flying Eagle Attack" in 2017.

Although the director has never made a military-themed movie before, the producer is Han Han, the starring first-line actor Luo Chen, and the special appearance of the actress Zhou Dongyu.

Unexpectedly, this time, Han Han's "Made in Sky" was re-produced and filmed again in the form of "King of Sky", and of course the science fiction elements were also cancelled.

Although the special effects work of "The King of Sky" is not responsible for DreamWorks, it is also a special effects studio that has undertaken some outsourcing work of DreamWorks. The special effects industry is so big that everyone knows each other's projects.

Therefore, the J20 in "The King of the Sky" is destined to be a gimmick, and of course, even a few test flights are attractive.

"Of course, these are all details, the most fundamental thing is the script. The screenwriter and production team of "The King of Sky" are basically impossible to make a good movie."

At that time, Han Han was rising rapidly with "The Future of Meeting" and "Riding the Wind and Waves". Although he was not as strong as Chen Jingxing, he was not as weak as Chen Sicheng.

Chen Jingxing shook his head: "The bad movies are undoubtedly the time to stop here? After all, it is the summer season, and the market is here."

"How did you set "Li Yannian" until this time? Isn't this just hitting someone's gun?"

Lei Jiayin was a little sorry: "I was actually quite looking forward to it before. I heard that I would still shoot the air battle in real time."

"The Mountain of Fenghuo Clouds" has never appeared in the plane of the previous life. It is impossible for Chen Jingxing to say that it is not afraid, so he lowered his figure and spyed on Lei Jiayin.

And in fact, the main air combat shots are all shot in green screen, not real shots. According to this budget, the final shot will probably not be much more realistic than "Flying Eagle Attack".

After filming the "Special Mobile Team" will switch to Hong Kong Island to shoot outdoor scenes.

The circle of screenwriters is really not big. Just look at the past works of the screenwriters of "King of the Sky" and you will not have any expectations for them.

Ning Weiqiang, the director of "Special Mobile Team", just finished the matter at hand and came over. Hearing this, he also echoed: "This movie has too little investment, and the production team is not very good. I don't think it can be a good movie."

But in the end, I couldn't help but have a F14 battle and destroyed two su57s.

Even movies like "The Eight Hundred Revelation" with mixed reputations, those who participate in the script creation are screenwriters with excellent works in the industry.

As a result, Guoying did not pay for it, and Han Han found DreamWorks again. At that time, Chen Jingxing was in seclusion in Western Xinjiang and filming "Martian Rescue" and was a producer of DreamWorks who received Han Han.

Yan Xiaoyue was wearing a tight-fitting suit and was curious when she heard this: "Have you watched this movie? I heard that Jiang He attaches great importance to it, and he has not released many materials so far."

After listening to the relay, Chen Jingxing lost interest and refused directly.

Well... Chen Jingxing thinks that in the future, he might be able to play Wu Jingkai's J8 vs. F22 plot in "Wolf Tooth IV".

"If he doesn't promote J20, it will still make people look forward to it." Chen Jingxing replied: "Fifth-generation aircraft are all over-visual range combat. Air combat movies with over-visual range combat are first of all, but they do not conform to the logic of commercial movies. Of course, it is not impossible to arrange a fifth-generation aircraft and dog fight, but..."

At that time, not only did he set up the project "Santh Gate" with great ambitions, but he also followed the trend to shoot a science fiction aviation movie called "Sky Manufacturing". He even found Guoying, who also intends to invest 300-400 million to support it.

Very powerful.

The script of "Made in Sky" is naturally not available, but Han Han talked about the general setting, which has a very good sense of "Top Secret Flight". The protagonist is a more advanced aerospace fighter in the future.

It’s just a pity that although Han Han is quite talented in the three tricks of young people in the town, brothers and racing, he is really not good at science fiction themes and does not have any talent for this science fiction background setting and story structure.

Since they were not far apart, he took the time to visit the shift.

Ren Jianxiang, the director of "Fenghuo Clouds", is a veteran of the Chinese Film Academy and a senior in the film industry. He has produced many films, including many blockbusters.

Chen Jingxing nodded and added: "The company also considered an air combat movie project a few years ago. At that time, Air Force came and Han Han also came. Although I didn't agree, it was evaluated at that time. The shooting was very difficult. The production cost of an air combat movie above the level would cost at least 350 million yuan, which is the most basic thing.

Anyway, there is a fairy vine inexplicably, or an aerospace plane that can fly in a super-atmosphere and enjoys playing dog fights. It’s not that there are these settings, but if the world view cannot keep up, it seems too suspended.

It's like a science fiction love story under the fantasy style of the plane of the previous life "The Fortress of the City". For them, science fiction is a simple science fiction background with no beginning or end that is similar to a casual fairy tale set by Zheng Yuanjie, plus the story they want to tell.

Lei Jiayin said with a joking and determined, "I must have asked Luo Chen, but I will definitely not tell me if someone asks him. Master Chen is in a position of incompetence. Maybe he was given the information from "Diet on Mars"."

In short, the ultra-visual combat mode of the fifth-generation aircraft is destined to be out of the appetite of air combat films. If you have to drive the fifth-generation aircraft to fight, the rationality of the plot arrangement is very high.

This is not the set of "The Past of Earth", but the set of "Special Mobile Team".

Chen Jingxing's "Gravity" was even released in the summer season, causing a sensation at home and abroad.

"The Past of Earth" first filmed a drama on a large ship, and used a cruise ship built with huge sums of money in "Wolf Tooth III". After transformation, it became the scene of "Judgement Day" in "The Past of Earth".

Before the Spring Festival, Chen Jingxing asked Lei Jiayin about "Fenghuo Cloud Mountain" between a program promoting "Interstellar".

"Judgement Day" was in the No. 1 studio of DreamWorks Magic City Film and Television Production Base, and "Special Mobile Team" was also filmed in the No. 2 studio.

After all, "Mekong" and "Source Code" were all released at that time, and the response was very good.

"And the actual shooting technology of air combat is too difficult, and we are all in trouble. If we don't invite people from Hollywood, it may take a long time to explore mature shooting skills and methods. How long will this movie be filmed? It's less than three months since the full shot.

However, "The King of the Sky" is far less than this weight in his heart.

"The King of the Sky" is known to be 250 million, but in fact it is less than 200 million. Including the promotion and distribution budget, we can almost reach this number. If you invest in industrial films, it does not mean that you have gained something. If you don't invest, you will definitely not get something."

Ning Weiqiang felt quite the same: "This is because the screenwriter circle is not big, and there are not many screenwriters who are capable of taking over industrial films. This is a key shortcoming of our country's industrial films."

In 2016, Han Han even came to DreamWorks.

This is Chen Jingxing's most certain basis.

On the set of a shooting greenhouse, Lei Jiayin asked while drinking sports drinks, standing beside Chen Jingxing.

Even Tomco's "Top Gun II" in his previous life avoided the fifth generation of machines.

After all, the Cyberpunk city in "Special Mobile" has no second city, except Hong Kong Island, which is more suitable for background.

Before he signed the contract with DreamWorks, he stayed at Tianrun Pictures for 20 years. Although he had a good status after making it, he had never produced any excellent works.

The original project of "The King of Sky" is actually Han Han's "Made in Sky".

Chen Jingxing quickly denied: "The Mountain of Beacon is "The Mountain of Beacon is "The Mountain of Beacon". After all, it is the work of Director Ren, so I dare not take it lightly. Is the movie "The King of the Sky" necessary for me to give up this face to spy on it?"

When I arrived at DreamWorks, I started to be responsible for the "Suspect Tracking" series, and now I have directed a science fiction blockbuster, and then I have experienced the scenery of famous directors.

The core reason is DreamWorks' script creation level.

In the field of commercial film, there are still many non-creative directors, which does not mean that they have no level, but just lack good scripts.

This is true for him and Tian Xinye. Ordinary audiences often focus on celebrity actors, but in fact, the main focus of determining the level of a work is the screenwriter and director.
