Chapter 518, the First Episode of "The Three-Body Problem"

Zhang Mouzi thought about many scenes of communication between them.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mouzi suddenly laughed.

"It seems that my excuse is hard to find."

"Huh?" Li Yun wondered, what excuse?

"You know, our special effects team for "The Great Wall" uses the latest technology from Industrial Light and Magic, which will be used in Cameron's masterpiece next year," Zhang Mouzi said slowly. This is also the most exciting thing about "The Great Wall" A place of praise.

Special effects technology.

In a sense, "The Great Wall" is indeed the first in China in this regard.

The ultimate visual effect brought by it has unparalleled effects.

The first domestic special effects blockbuster.

This is what the movie "The Great Wall" achieved.

An unquestionable achievement that no one can take away.

Li Yun also bluntly said that at least the visual effects of the movie "The Great Wall" look great.

It made Li Yun feel refreshed.

At least, the ticket price is worth it.

Very worth it.

"Aren't you looking for a special effects team recently? If you are looking for it, look for the best Chinese team from Industrial Light and Magic. I have it in my hands. If you can afford it, I will give it to you."

Zhang Mouzi said slowly.

It turned out that when he was working on the Sino-US co-production, he was also in contact with the special effects team of Industrial Light and Magic in China, including outsourcing teams and members of his own team.

Zhang Mouzi is really an old fox.

At this time, you have to make profits for yourself.

At this time, Zhang Mouzi's expression was very complicated. If Li Yun had spoken rudely or even condescendingly just now, he would probably be able to find a reason for himself not to say anything about it.

But Li Yun didn't.

Even Zhang Mouzi couldn't convince himself.

The special effects team of Industrial Light and Magic. I contacted them, how much price I paid and how much energy I put into my ambition.

But now, this achievement will be handed over to others.

Reluctant to give up, unwilling to give up.

But he still made such a choice.

"Thank you." At this time, Li Yun said.

If Zhang Mouzi is really so generous this time, it will be a big help.

Even Li Yun couldn't think of it.

It was actually Zhang Mouzi who would give him timely help.

"Don't thank me. The price you have to pay is the prerequisite. This new technology is very expensive."

"Are you sure you can afford this price?"

"I'm sure there are no special effects in science fiction blockbusters, but it feels like a lot is missing." Li Yun said bluntly.

Science fiction blockbuster.

A field dominated by Hollywood.

For a long time, the West has had the right to interpret the subject of science fiction.

Western science fiction is real science fiction.

Science fiction in other places is all pseudo-science fiction, all fake.

This is not because Westerners are hypocritical.

But the works that can truly be called science fiction are all the works of Westerners. Because of this, the West has this right.

courage.

Li Yun’s courage.

It's so admirable.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this young man's courage to remain true to his original intention that Zhang Mouzi feels that he seems to be younger because of it.

"I heard that you have a science fiction TV series in December. Your science fiction TV series will not disappoint me. I don't want the team I worked so hard to get to be covered in dust."

"must"

At this time, Li Yun smiled slightly.

Next up is "The Three-Body Problem".

It will be broadcast in January.

Human nature is so complex.

Li Yun himself did not expect that the special effects resources that he did not obtain from Wang Chen would be obtained from Zhang Mouzi.

Although the price is indeed not cheap. Even a purely Chinese outsourcing team is twice as expensive as a first-class domestic special effects team.

This is the 'top' price.

Zhang Mouzi said that he would also watch the next "Three-Body Problem".

Look at Li Yun’s science fiction prowess.

How far can we go to face the work "Westworld"?

At this time, Li Yun was very calm.

The work "The Three-Body Problem" is of great significance to me.

It is also of great significance to the birth of "The Wandering Earth".

Assemble a team of "The Wandering Earth" and you can still do it now.

"Three-Body" also has its own significance.

It can be regarded as the first step into science fiction.

Announce to the world that Li Quan has taken the first step into science fiction.

"Are you ready? Our science fiction work, "The Three-Body Problem" is about to be played."

At this time, Li Yun looked at his personality in the mirror.

He was also calm, but it was difficult to conceal the excitement in his eyes.

If The Wandering Earth is the second bomb.

Then the three-body problem is the first bomb.

It still has to be a successful shot.

"Have you ever thought that all the efforts you are making now will be in vain if your three-body project fails?"

At this time, the personality next to him said leisurely, looking at Li Yun with interest.

This road is very difficult.

No matter how many times I watch it.

All very difficult.

The project of "The Wandering Earth" is a large-scale production. The investment given by Li Yun is an amount of investment that has never been seen in China before. There has never been such a large-scale production in China.

Even The Great Wall, a commercial film co-produced by China and the United States, has never had such a huge amount of money.

There is no such big investment.

This is the first time.

The birth of the TV series The Three-Body Problem was also surrounded by powerful enemies.

There is Westworld outside, and Wesley inside. One is hard science fiction that has been around for a long time, and the other is soft science fiction with emotions and humanities.

Both have their own merits, and both have their mysteries.

They are all hopelessly powerful.

And Li Yun actually chose to challenge Cameron.

The next work actually chooses such a challenge.

Even Li Yun, the former wild boy and poor boy, knows what the name Cameron means.

That is the top of the highest mountain in the world.

And you actually choose to fight against such a guy.

Why?

At this time, Li Yun did not answer his question.

Why.

I recall that Cameron's Avatar opened the golden decade of Hollywood. During those ten years, domestic movies could not sell at all.

It can be said that he is the real top of the mountain.

It is a desperate peak that can start an era.

A legend left in history.

But Li Yun was also thinking about it.

If you can defeat the top of this mountain.

Will I take his place?

Will China’s film industry not have to go through those dark decades?

Right.

The meaning of Three-Body Problem is also very simple. If Three-Body Problem fails, then no one can believe that they can challenge Cameron. If I say so directly, I will choose Cameron for my next project. If it's not scheduled, then he will definitely be considered a lunatic, an unreasonable crazy thing.

So you have to win.

Must win.

And to win beautifully.

Let everyone know that they not only have the desire to challenge God, but also have the qualifications to challenge God.

At this moment, the announcement of Trisolaris is also on its way.

After experiencing the previous quarter in December, the new year has finally arrived.

Last year, the drama king of the year was The Hidden Corner at the end of the year, a small but powerful work.

A small story told in a small format.

It has won a lot of popularity.

After all, this is the drama king.

But this drama king has no intention of stopping in the new year.

Instead, he gathered his strength and advanced bravely, firing two shots in a row.

“He is very good at telling small-scale stories, especially digging into the characters’ hearts and surrounding environments. It may be related to his growing up experience. He climbed up to his current position step by step in a low-level environment. It is easy to sympathize with him when he narrates this. It has a unique advantage when it comes to the subject matter.”

"Whether it's "The Crucible" or "I'm Not the God of Medicine," these two purely his works are based on this."

At this moment, Ni Haishao, the chairman of the Science Fiction Association, was scrolling through Weibo in his office, watching the upcoming schedule with interest.

"Wesley" by Bayi Factory.

"The Three-Body Problem" by Li Quan.

There’s also the blockbuster “Westworld.”

One is imported and two are domestically produced.

Domestic is the former Domestic Light Bayi Factory, and it is also the domestic work that has the highest hopes among the Science Fiction Association.

Although it is soft science fiction, it still has the original script with a sense of fantasy. What's more, there is also Ni Haishao, a relative of Ni Kuang, as the president. Naturally, he is given enough face. Moreover, Bayi Factory said that it is the light of domestic science fiction. , I am really not bragging, I am really the enlightenment of domestic science fiction.

Not to mention Westworld.

main course.

A work between hard science fiction and soft science fiction, it tells the story of an AI robot trapped in the "Western Paradise" in the future, about freedom and the awakening of the true self.

It can be said that "Westworld" should have the strongest sense of immersion. After all, AI technology really exists in the real world and is not something fabricated, so it can be called a middle ground between hard science fiction and soft science fiction.

As for "The Three-Body Problem".

Too little information, claiming to be hard science fiction

Although it is said that Li Yun is currently on top of the limelight. He was the king of dramas in "The Hidden Corner" the previous year, and his own popularity has reached an explosion.

But in Ni Haishao's eyes, this work is the one he is least optimistic about.

Because it is claimed to be ‘hard science fiction’.

"Hard science fiction. Can he do it?"

"This Li Yun can be considered a people's artist. His works are based on the general public and the people like them. Who do you think you are?" Pan Donghai next to him looked at Ni Haishao and rolled his eyes at him.

The president of the Science Fiction Association seems a bit arrogant.

But Ni Haishao still spoke with full rationality.

"It is because he is an artist based on the general public that writing science fiction works seems so impossible."

"President, I seem to think you are a little too arrogant."

At this time, in the Science Fiction Association, Pan Donghai, who had the best relationship with Ni Haishao, was a research master in the aviation field who could spare some time to watch TV in his busy schedule. Now the smile on his face has disappeared. .

The arrogance in you now makes people very unhappy.

Ni Haishao, on the other hand, has calm eyes and is completely objective.

Science fiction has always been an art form that lower-level people cannot understand.

He has a very high threshold.

Just look at the average education level of the Science Fiction Association.

Even if you have an undergraduate degree, you are too embarrassed to tell others. Basically, they all have a master's degree and a Ph.D. degree, and are high-level intellectuals.

He is a niche art.

The composition of the work "Three-Body" is very simple.

If he pays attention to his artistic expression as before, he can probably achieve good commercial results and perhaps even some highlights.

But if he really goes in the direction of hard science fiction, it will only be a result that pleases neither side.

This "Three-Body" will only have two directions in the end.

One is that the public likes it, but the "science fiction fans" of the science fiction associations sneer at it.

Another is that the "science fiction fans" of the science fiction association like it, but the commercial results are mediocre and the music is too high to be understood by the public. This is unlikely. After all, Li Yun does not look like someone who can write such a hard science fiction script.

Another possibility is that the public and science fiction fans are satisfied with the work.

This kind of work.

There is a dream.

"Do you think we can stop "Westworld" this time?"

"I can stop it in my dream."

"Then our work. It has to be stopped even if it can't be stopped."

At this time.

The three directors of "Wesley" are at the Bayi Film Studio, waiting for the arrival of "Judgment", to be honest.

Li Liguo, Zhang Da Huzi, and Yu Mingsheng, three big TV drama producers in the industry, spent their energy and energy to shoot this work.

Although the three of them are "super first-line" in the industry, their directing and production experience is richer than others' lifetime works. They are truly a generation of geniuses.

But they are always "fighting internally". In the civil war.

It's the first time to face the foreign enemy directly.

According to the Bayi Film Studio, they are the first line and the last line. If they fall, the "king of dramas" next year will probably be suppressed by "Westworld".

"Isn't there another "Three-Body" to "fight side by side with us?" Li Liguo said with a smile: "It's not just us who are "sending ourselves to death."

"Li Yun"

Yu Mingsheng sighed a little.

"It's amazing. Last year's drama king was actually his work that won the last place. We are also lucky to be born in this era of heroes."

If Li Yun is given time to grow, he will definitely become a legend with Li Quan.

The TV series "The Three-Body Problem" has experienced a lot of rumors, from the subsidy fraud storm to the current small-scale drama king "The Hidden Corner". Today, "The Three-Body Problem" has fewer rumors under the background of the drama king of the previous year, although there are still many people who are prejudiced against domestic science fiction.

But Li Yun can still be given some trust.

If there is no "Westworld", "Wesley" and "The Three-Body Problem" seem to be really on the same stage. Can the materials compete with each other?

The foundation of Bayi Film Studio, the talent of Li Quan, and the two "buds" of the science fiction world bloom.

It's a pity that "Westworld", a towering tree that has grown long ago, has been ruthlessly crushed down.

Buds.

It's useless
