Chapter 173 Wine, Meeting at the Space Agency

"Hehehe"

On the pink and white bed, Liu Yifei was lying on the bedside, with her legs crossed, hugging the pillow and laughing strangely.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

There was a knock on the door, and then the door was opened, and Liu Xiaoli walked in.

"Xixi, why did you lock yourself in the room as soon as you came back?" She looked at Liu Yifei lying on the bedside with some surprise.

"Don't you want to take a look at the gifts given by your friends and guests who came to celebrate your birthday today?"

In previous years, Liu Yifei's most anticipated part of her birthday was receiving and opening gifts.

Why did she not care about the gifts at all after Wu Yuan sent her back today?

She looked at Liu Yifei's slightly red face with some suspicion.

No, where did these two young people go at night? What happened again?

Could her little cabbage be taken away?

She was about to ask Liu Yifei about the specific situation, but Liu Yifei jumped up from the bed first.

"Yes!"

"My senior also gave me a gift!"

She quickly put on her slippers and trotted downstairs.

The gifts given by the guests today were piled up in the living room on the first floor.

At a glance, Liu Yifei saw the gift box given by Wu Yuan.

She walked forward, untied the beautiful bow, opened the box, and saw two small boxes in the big box.

The small box was one big and one small. The big one was about ten centimeters wide and twenty to thirty centimeters long, while the small one was only the size of a palm.

Liu Yifei curiously picked up the small box and opened it. Inside was a very beautiful pink crystal necklace with the Tiffany logo.

"Tiffany's pink crystal necklace!" Liu Yifei curved her eyebrows, took the necklace out of the box with a smile, and put it in front of her chest to gesture.

"Mom, look, the crystal necklace my senior gave me!"

As if showing off, Liu Yifei kept showing off the shining crystal necklace in her hand to Liu Xiaoli who had just come downstairs.

It is indeed beautiful, and it looks expensive.

It is not that the pink crystal is valuable, but this pink crystal necklace is inlaid with many gems and diamonds, which immediately raises its value.

This made Liu Xiaoli smile.

Although it is a bit materialistic, seeing Wu Yuan willing to give Liu Yifei such an expensive gift still makes Liu Xiaoli quite satisfied.

After all, her daughter is so good, she deserves to be treated like this!

"What's in the other box?" Liu Xiaoli also became curious and interested, and walked to Liu Yifei and asked.

"Let me see." Liu Yifei put the crystal necklace back temporarily, and curiously opened the big box.

After a while, the box was opened, but the contents inside made the mother and daughter very confused.

A brown thing that looked a bit like a wine bottle and a bit like a pickle jar appeared in their sight.

Liu Yifei shook the bottle curiously, "There is liquid in it! It can't be a bar?"

"Why should I give you wine?" Liu Xiaoli was a little surprised.

At this time, a small card fell out of the box.

Liu Yifei picked it up and saw a line of small words on the paper.

"This wine was brewed with the koji you stepped on when filming "Your Name". There are two jars in total, one for you and one for me."

Liu Yifei's face turned red in an instant, and she recalled the scenes when she filmed "Your Name" and the plot in the movie.

"Didn't you say that the koji during filming was thrown away?" She muttered a little dissatisfied, "and secretly kept it to make wine"

Although she said she was disgusted, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"Hehe, I don't know how this wine tastes." She pouted and looked at her mother, stretched out a hand and pinched her little finger, "Just a little bit, taste it~"

"Let's do it together." Liu Xiaoli smiled heartily, she was also curious about what this wine would taste like.

The mother and daughter held the bottle of wine and went to the kitchen.

Tonight is destined to be a good night's sleep.

On the other hand, Wu Yuan, who had confirmed his relationship with Liu Yifei, did not fall into the atmosphere of love-brain.

Although he was also looking forward to a sweet love, and the relationship between the two was rapidly heating up after confirming the relationship, he did not forget the business.

August 30, Saturday.

Today is the day when the leader of the Space Administration asked Wu Yuan to meet.

Director Han drove the car himself and took Wu Yuan to the station of the China Space Administration in Beijing.

As a scientific research unit, and a relatively important scientific research unit, the security is naturally extremely strict.

As a result, after layers of inspections, Wu Yuan successfully entered the headquarters building of the Space Administration and met the leaders of the Space Administration in a conference room with Director Han.

"Wow, so many people?" Wu Yuan was shocked as soon as he entered the door.

He thought he would only talk about the movie with one or two leaders in private.

As a result, as soon as he entered the conference room, Wu Yuan saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him.

"That." A leader sitting in the middle said somewhat embarrassedly: "Hello, Director Wu, everyone heard that you are going to make a movie about China's aerospace industry, and everyone is excited and wants to know the details."

"You don't mind, do you?"

Wu Yuan, who was not nervous at all in front of hundreds of people on the roadshow, certainly would not feel uncomfortable because of a dozen or so gazes. He shook his head: "It's okay."

"You are all important scientists in our country. It is an honor for me to be able to discuss my new movie together."

As for why Wu Yuan thinks these people are all scientific researchers rather than administrative leaders.

Because each of them is wearing a white coat, giving people the temperament of a scientific researcher.

"Please take a seat." The leader in the middle invited Wu Yuan to sit down with a smile on his face.

"Well, Director Wu, we have all read your script, it is indeed well written."

"A thrilling and exciting space accident, only Hollywood directors can make this type of movie before."

"It is such a movie, can we really make it in China?"

The leader of the space agency asked with some concern: "It's not that I don't believe in your directing ability, Director Wu, but we have never made such a science fiction movie in China before."

"Can you talk to us about how you plan to make this movie?"

Wu Yuan can understand the leader's worries, as the saying goes, "If you care, you will be confused."

The more you value this film project, the more you will have various worries, uneasiness, and uncertainty.

"It's like this." Wu Yuan spread his hands and introduced slowly: "In fact, this movie looks very complicated, with outer space, satellites, space stations and the like."

"But in fact, from the perspective of filming, this movie is very simple to shoot, at least among science fiction blockbusters, it is relatively simple."

"The whole movie is actually a story that takes place in a "confined space" in the space field."

"In the second half of the film, there is almost only the heroine, and she will face the infinite loneliness and fear in the hearts of human beings in the cruel cosmic environment."

"Most of the scenes in the space station of this movie only need to be shot in the built set. That's it."

"And the important outer space scenes and all the space shots in this film need to be produced using computer CG technology."

"In this regard, I plan to set up a special effects company specializing in film post-production special effects and CG synthesis."

"This company will fully use Hollywood's top special effects technology and equipment to build our own special effects industry in China."

"Give me two years, I am confident that I can build a CG special effects company that is on par with Hollywood."

There are many types of movie special effects, and "Gravity" mainly needs to use CG special effects technology, which is to synthesize the space images made by CG into the movie.

This technology is different from the special effects technology of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. It does not require any motion capture, facial modeling, etc., and is relatively simple.

In addition, the application field of CG technology is more extensive, and talents in this area are easier to dig.

To give the most obvious example, a large number of computer games in China, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States use a large number of CG images in promotional films and even in games.

These CG modelers who make computer games can be recruited to make movie CG images.

As long as Wu Yuan is willing to spend money, he can indeed find a group of excellent CG modelers to spend two years to create a realistic CG outer space picture.

"Now Hollywood's special effects technology is becoming more and more advanced and leading. I think we in China also need to pay attention to the development of this aspect."

Wu Yuan said seriously: "I want to make the movie "Gravity", not only because I like science fiction movies, but also because I want to make our own science fiction movies in China."

"Also, movies with themes of magic and science fiction are the most suitable themes to promote the development of a country's film special effects industry."

"Our company has the "Painted Skin" series, and now we are going to make the "Gravity" series, in order to cultivate our own special effects team in the mainland and prepare for the future era of Chinese blockbusters."

Yes, Wu Yuan wanted to make "Gravity", not simply because he was unhappy with Wu Baige and wanted to snipe him.

Making science fiction movies and cultivating science fiction movie fans in the mainland has always been something Wu Yuan has been working hard to plan.

He has been consciously guiding mainland movie fans to accept and become familiar with science fiction movies.

The two conceptual science fiction films, "The Night the Comet Came" and "The Butterfly Effect", are the weapons he used to stimulate the mainland science fiction film market.

And "Gravity" is the test product for him to truly set off the first year of mainland science fiction films and cultivate his own special effects team!

Even if there was no such thing as Wu Baige, he would still make science fiction films and "Gravity", even if he didn't make money for a while!

Only by investing first, spending money to cultivate his own special effects team, and cultivating his own science fiction movie fans, then there will be plenty of time for Wu Yuan to reap the rewards in the future, and he doesn't have to care about the box office gains and losses of one or two movies.

If aircraft engines are the flower of industry and the pearl on the crown of industry.

Then, science fiction movies are the most dazzling pearls on the crown of commercial movies!

It is the flower of commercial movies!

A science fiction blockbuster movie needs the support of an entire film industry system to be well made. It is a truly difficult, "high-tech" movie!

Any world-renowned top commercial film director definitely has a classic science fiction movie representative.

If you haven't made any science fiction blockbusters, you'd be embarrassed to say that you're a top international director!

Wu Yuan, of course, wants to be such a director!

He will definitely make more series of science fiction movies in the future!

He wants to personally create the era of science fiction blockbusters for Chinese-language movies!

There may not be three updates today, maybe two, and I'll continue to add more tomorrow.
