Chapter 1148 Of Course I Am a Young Director!
Shen Xudong also wants to play big.
It would be best to break the record of "Wolf Warrior 2".
It's difficult...
"Wolf Warrior 2" is not just a box office hit.
After "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, it was broadcast online. In the early morning of that day, millions of people watched it online at the same time. So far, the number of online views has exceeded 2.5 billion, far ahead of other movies.
The movie channel aired "Wolf Warrior 2", and the highest ratings for the first broadcast exceeded 3, winning the annual ratings championship. Among the top ten annual ratings of Six Princess Channel, Wolf Warriors accounted for 5 of them, and among the top 15, the Wolf Warrior series accounted for half.
Maoyan’s 5 million ticket purchasers rated it 9.7, ranking first among domestic films.
Taopiaopiao has 5 million ticket purchasers and a rating of 9.5, ranking first among domestic films.
"Wolf Warrior 2" has 160 million moviegoers, making it the world's single-market viewership champion, accounting for 11.42% of China's total population. "Wolf Warrior 2" was the first time many people went to a movie theater in their lives.
The data of "Wolf Warrior 2" almost crushes other movies in all aspects, including the data after the release. There are no shortcomings, not just high box office.
Regarding the commercial elements of "Wolf Warrior 2", capital has thoroughly studied it, but... the works released after that just can't do it.
Therefore, we must find another way!
There's no way it would work on the same track as him.
Although "Full Band Jamming" is also a military war film, it adds an alien invasion...
This thing definitely has a clue.
Guo Fan immediately replied: "Aliens? I think artificial intelligence is more suitable to be a villain!"
"AI?"
"right!"
"Artificial intelligence is a tool created by humans and will only perform tasks according to human intentions."
"Can you guarantee that?"
This...no one can guarantee it!
Guo Fan continued: "If artificial intelligence is close to human intelligence, they will think that humans are the biggest threat to them..."
"That's true!" Shen Xudong nodded: "One day, humans and artificial intelligence will compete for resources, and conflicts will definitely break out, because once artificial intelligence and humans coexist, there will definitely be interaction, just like the relationship between us and everything in the world. In the same way, how we treat other creatures...they will also treat us in turn!"
"...Do you also agree that villains should be made into artificial intelligence?"
"Can…"
Shen Xudong nodded: "Based on actual facts, the development of AI is indeed very fast... Ning Hao, what do you think?"
"It doesn't matter, what we are facing is a disaster for all mankind anyway..."
"I'll think about it carefully..."
Ning Hao changed the subject: "I have always wanted to film Da Liu's work, "Country Teacher"... What do you think?"
Shen Xudong hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "It's not easy to do..."Village Teacher" is too short. The real story can actually be filmed in 10 minutes..."
The story of "Country Teacher" is very simple: on his deathbed, a terminally ill teacher still asks ignorant children to memorize Newton's three laws of mechanics that they cannot understand. After this highly saturated scene of realism, the story suddenly jumps to Interstellar War: God-like aliens assessed the civilization levels of planets along the way while cleaning the battlefield. Children who were randomly selected as samples of the earth were indifferent when faced with a series of test questions. It was not until they correctly answered Newton's laws that they were proved The earth is worth saving…
Its connection and reversal, there is basically no major conflict of civilized dialogue, which makes it difficult to grasp the conflict point. If you insist on filming, it will easily become a mere formality.
"If the story of the countryside and the space war are unfolded in parallel, the insignificance and helplessness of life will be reflected through comparison - whether it is a high-tech space war or a poor life in an isolated village, the life situation is the same.
Finally, the space fleet that withdrew from the front line encountered a boy from Earth. The space man was moved by the efforts of the people on Earth and regained his belief in survival... How about it? "
"Not very good..." Shen Xudong still shook his head: ""Country Teacher" is actually a bit critical. The unfairness of education almost destroyed the earth. If there was not a rural teacher who was willing to take root in the backwoods to teach physics in the mountains, then the selected few on the earth would A few samples will greatly reduce the level of civilization on the earth, and will be eliminated as a worthless planet. In this sense, if you really want to take pictures, it is better to find Jia Zhangke and his gang!"
Ning Hao tugged at his hair: "...Then I'll think about it again?"
Shen Xudong ignored him and turned to look at Zhang Yi: "...Director Zhang, how are the preparations for "Su Dongpo" going?"
"The script is still being written and actors are being considered..."
"Can't Teacher Li Xuejian do it?"
"...Li Xuejian..." Zhang Yimou nodded: "Then let him!"
Han Yan, who had been silent until now, became interested: "..."Su Dongpo"?"
"Well, Xudong heard that I wanted to shoot ink paintings... He recommended to me the story of a great scholar who was exiled and educated..."
"Then the filming location should be carefully searched..."
"You can always find it..."
Shen Xudong interjected: "Actually, if Director Zhang didn't take the picture, I would have taken it. In the mist of the mountains and forests, brothers chanted poems to say goodbye; in the misty mountains and rivers, they returned by boat; when the moon was like water at night, they drank wine and chanted poems... It is a romance unique to literati... Just think about it and it feels beautiful!”
"Well, I'm going to shoot it in an ink painting style... almost a black and white film..."
Han Yan struggled for a moment: "If we shoot like this, the box office will be..."
"It's okay, we all have a box office of more than 300 million yuan... Besides, when making movies, besides box office, we should also have other pursuits!"
"I think the story of the great scholar being exiled may not have a large audience, but there should be a lot of people who are interested..."
"Let's look at the situation... If "Su Dongpo" gets a good response, we can film Li Bai and Du Fu..."
Shen Xudong thought of "Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles": "I think the story of Li Bai and Gao Shi is more worthy of filming!"
"Eternal King's Rebellion?"
"Um…"
"There may not be many people interested..."
"Let's film "Su Dongpo" first!" Shen Xudong changed the subject: "Wu Jing, what are your plans next?"
"...No...no, next week, I'm going to Hangzhou...to participate in some forum..."
Shen Xudong immediately realized something: "Film New Power Forum?"
"Yes!" Wu Jing asked, "Are you going too?"
"Um…"
"Are you considered a new force in the film industry?"
"Why don't I count? I'm only 33 this year, a standard new power!" Shen Xudong looked at the others: "What about you?"
"I want to go too!" Lu Yang and Guo Fan raised their hands...
Han Yan and Ning Hao shook their heads: "We were not sent an invitation letter... maybe we are not considered new powers!"
Shen Xudong had a different opinion: "I guess there were too many people going there, and it was easy to form an internal meeting... After all, our company is basically a new force..."
"A bunch of celebrities, idols, young actors will be attending, who will care about us?"
"That's not necessarily the case. My appeal is also very strong."
"...You can compare with the traffic. They have fan groups and support clubs. For a birthday, the fans can hang a celebratory light sign in Times Square in New York!"
Shen Xudong waved his hand: "But I can make the traffic reveal its true colors!"
"You want to mess with someone?"
"...What am I doing to anyone...I just want to swear an oath..."
Ning Hao suddenly remembered something and asked Wu Jing: "Have you really considered asking Fanfan to star in "Wolf Warrior 2"?"
Wu Jing nodded: "I have thought about it...but his salary is too high...it exceeds my budget..."
"When the "Wolf Warrior 2" project was established, the traffic was still sky-high..."
