Chapter 519, I Want to Challenge Cameron
"His funding for "Westworld" can kill our "Wesley" and Li Yun's "The Three-Body Problem" together." Zhang Dabeard said helplessly.
Li Liguo next to him added.
"Let's add another one called "I'm Not the God of Medicine"."
Science fiction requires not only good scripts, but also money.
This is an insurmountable gap. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The gap in results caused by the gap in funding can really make people feel despair.
A feeling of despair that cannot be overcome.
When the script and lineup are already top-notch, using superior funds to feed the resulting works is not something that ordinary people can match.
Even if we think about the relationship between exchange rate and consumption, there is no way to smooth out the gap.
At this moment, Yu Mingsheng was only thinking about himself as Wesley to fight against "Westworld", and he didn't think much about Li Yun's works.
If Li Yun's work was soft science fiction, it would actually be worthy of a fight, but unfortunately, Li Yun's work is claimed to be hard science fiction.
It would be better if it was really claiming to be popular.
It’s incredible. If it’s just a hard-case replacement, that would be a good thing. If it’s really just soft science fiction, then it really has the power to fight.
Soft science fiction focuses on humanities, and the relationships between characters can be regarded as themes that can seek survival in a small pattern. However, hard science fiction focuses on shaping the structure of the worldview.
The social logic and contradictions therein.
This is why Yu Mingsheng is the most pessimistic.
Because he really cares about hard science fiction.
Because he really watched this kind of work, he had previously made a film with a science fiction veneer called "Magic Phone".
It can be regarded as a bit of science fiction, but it cannot be said to be true science fiction.
Because creating a world, a science fiction world, a world that exists in your fantasy, is definitely not just as simple as pale language. If you want to convince the audience, you must not only have a self-consistent world view and system, but also a rich plot. and characters must have the most intuitive visual effects.
Both are indispensable.
Just like a peerless magical skill, both the external and internal skills must be extremely good in order to be effective, which is why major circles in the country stay away from this subject.
You need to be talented and wealthy.
Only then can we afford a science fiction work.
This is definitely not an easy task.
Science fiction is indeed a genre that can harvest the world's disregard for language.
But talent, money, and courage are all indispensable.
If one element is missing, you will end up losing everything.
A lot of blood flowed eastward, but in the end it ended in nothing.
However, even if you have talent, money, and courage, you still have more cost-effective options.
Generally speaking, they will not go into the field of science fiction and challenge others in areas where they are good at it.
Especially in the field of hard science fiction
Yu Mingsheng had this feeling that this time, it was forced.
It's really "Wesley" that carries the power of "Westworld".
Will it win?
No, but at least.
Don't lose so ugly.
At least one of them can gain a little bit of reputation among the audience and the science fiction association.
Yes, the Science Fiction Association has a great say in the results of domestic science fiction works. If any of the various domestic associations has a greater say, then the Science Fiction Association ranks first.
It represents the ‘elite group’ who like to watch this subject matter.
The ‘elite group’ covers all science fiction themes, and they represent the high-end group in the country.
Elites with spending power, influence, officials, businessmen, and senior scientific and technological personnel, each with their own unique influence.
It can be said that this group of people is the most high-end movie-watching group in the country.
Lower Riba people are probably far from the art they can appreciate.
There are ratings for Lower Riba people.
It is easy to win awards for the high-end groups represented by the Science Fiction Association - especially in today's science fiction field, although the country is poor and weak, the resources represented by this association are very greedy!
However, Yu Mingsheng also knew something about himself.
Soft science fiction that can make ordinary audiences applaud.
Not bad.
In Liu Shanhe's office at Bayi Factory, Li Mo was chatting with the old factory director.
"Don't look so ugly when you lose. Don't be so pessimistic."
"Although I say this, if I judge rationally, "Westworld" is very powerful."
Liu Shanhe was silent for a moment and said: "There is no chance of winning. The only chance is to bite off a piece of their flesh so that they don't feel so comfortable winning. It's a pity. It's obviously the seedling stage of science fiction."
No matter how proud you are, you will never think that your "Wesley" project this time is a rival to "Westworld".
For Liu Shanhe, the project of "Wesley" is considered a "germ".
A first move, a germination of science fiction.
Nothing grows up at once. It grows step by step, from the first sprout to the sapling to the grown tree. It takes a process.
a process of growing up
The process starts from 0 and catches up.
But it seems that if time does not wait for me, time has no intention of waiting for them.
When Bu Ya was born, even if it faced works like "Westworld", there were also real works that were directly introduced to TV stations and broadcast on TV stations.
It seems that it was introduced too 'quickly', and the industry expressed opposition to such rules, even quite fiercely.
But Liu Shanhe knew that such a change in policy was not aimless, nor was it a plan and change made on the spur of the moment.
Domestic science fiction had already taken off when he was young.
Moreover, national policies also restrict the entry of foreign works.
But in the past twenty years, what has happened is that each circle has harvested in its own field, and suppressed the latter from a condescending position in its own circle. Experts in civil war, outsiders in foreign war.
The works that have been exported overseas are either those with "ulterior motives" that have achieved commercial success, and there are not many at all.
Even now, overseas impressions of Chinese works are still limited to those of the older generation of filmmakers such as "Jackie Chan" and "Yuan Jinbao". New filmmakers have no impression of new movies in the new era.
Now the Xiangjiang circle is in decline and dying
There is no decent feedback from mainland circles.
Now that we are really fully relaxed, it doesn't look like everyone is in danger.
Therefore, Liu Shanhe had no resentment.
There is plenty of time, and it is no wonder that you yourself have not been able to grow up during this period of time.
No one else is to blame.
"So." At this time, Li Modu said softly: "A fair and just situation is itself unfair."
So Liu Shanhe was also very calm.
This time, the fight between the 'Grouts' was interrupted by enemies from the sky.
Pity
At this time, Li Modu said.
"Actually, you can give my son something to look forward to."
"Well, it would be best to be on par with me in "Wesley"."
Liu Shanhe is confident in "Wesley". If "The Three-Body Problem" can be closer in quality to "Wesley", it would be the best.
If the sprout is not destroyed this time.
That would be great.
However, Li Modu closed his eyes at this time and did not continue to speak.
What he meant was that they were not evenly matched——
Rather, beyond,,.
Really, can it be surpassed?
At this moment, January.
This year has been decided.
On the Internet, this year is defined as the ‘Year of Science Fiction’.
"Avatar", which Cameron is currently filming, was speculated before it was released, and the investment of US$700 million is only the first film.
The project for "Avatar 2" has already been approved before the work is released.
This unprecedented operation has actually been approved for the second part
Even when it was uncertain whether the first part would be completed, the investment actually already produced the second part.
The name Cameron is guaranteed.
Starting from January's "Westworld", the domestically produced "Wesley" and "The Three-Body Problem" seem to be a supporting foil - yes, in the science fiction association, most people believe that these two are supporting characters. foil.
It's just that on the Internet, his popularity is still not weak for these two domestic works.
In the camp of directors and producers of domestic films.
These are all 'superior'.
Li Yun's "The Three-Body Problem", Li Liguo, Zhang Dabeard, and Yu Mingsheng's "Wesley".
In previous years, when such a few top-notch guys were broadcast at the beginning of the new year, it would be as joyful as the Chinese New Year.
Well, after January, it’s indeed time to celebrate the New Year
For film and television lovers, it really is like celebrating the New Year.
Even though there are fewer good dramas to start the year than in previous years, it’s still okay.
A few top-notch ones.
But the start of the year.
There is another enemy coming from the sky.
The situation suddenly became one super strong and many strong.
There are also many people who are feeling pity.
Time really waits for no one. China Entertainment has given the entertainment industry such a long time to develop.
Except for the top-notch ones, the rest are just second-rate and third-rate.
"The polarization is really serious. Either there are top-notch people who have the courage to face difficulties, or there are people who are simply cowardly and throw out the scraps of second- and third-rate people to get through things."
At this moment, Wu Hai, as an ordinary spectator, couldn't help but sigh when he saw everything happening in front of him.
It's so hard to choose
in three works.
For the general audience, they will probably watch "Westworld". In the field of science fiction, the West must be stronger than domestic ones.
"Wesley" and "The Three-Body Problem" were born at the wrong time.
In other words, if it was born earlier.
How wonderful it would be.
Of course, ordinary viewers are very real, and Wu Hai also understands the feedback in the forum.
Li Yun in "The Hidden Corner" is awesome.
Li Yun is also very good in "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
One super, many strong.
Let's choose the one that surpasses us
Of course, for Wu Hai, "The Three-Body Problem" is just a work that can be supported.
at this time.
Li Yun took a break from his busy schedule to prepare for the upcoming "Three-Body Problem".
The popularity of Xuanfa is not tepid. With the endorsement of the excellent previous works, the popularity has also increased.
Li Quan's third work.
but.
Li Yun also saw that his popularity was only due to his own status and popularity in the "domestic" field.
If it were really put together with "Westworld".
Most people will choose foreign works.
This is a kind of reality.
Li Yun felt a bit dumbfounded. In theory, even if there is no "Westworld" this time, the planning of domestic dramas will be timid.
The drama king's second bomb.
There is also the strong planning of Bayi Factory.
When other people saw this lineup, they also backed away.
"Do you know? The current evaluation of you in the industry is that you are gloating about your misfortune, and the wind will destroy you. I am both afraid of you and jealous of you."
Li Yuxuan took a sip of weak tea at this time.
I remember that the last time I came to Li Yun's house, I drank bad tea. This time, I brought good tea from home.
"You are afraid of me, but you also hope that Western works can destroy me. Of course I saw it real."
Li Yun smiled slightly and said: "It's not just me, the works of Bayi Factory should also be treated this way."
Bayi Film Studio represents public works produced by the national system, and is equally powerful.
"Yes, their works are also treated in this way."
At this moment, Li Yuxuan clicked his tongue and said.
"It's a pity. If this "Westworld" comes later, it will really be a gluttonous feast of domestic science fiction."
Li Yuxuan has no doubts about the works of Li Yun and Bayi Factory, and firmly believes in the quality of these two works.
It's a pity that there is no room for growth.
This is the most regrettable place.
The amount of investment in "Westworld" seems to be a desperate figure.
A number that makes people unable to have any thoughts of resistance at all.
Is this really data that a TV series can produce?
It's unbelievable, it's really too perverted.
I can only feel this desperate gap.
People are willing to invest this money in it.
This calm and indifferent attitude also makes people feel stressed.
This kind of investment is really desperate.
At this time, Li Yun drank the good tea brought by Li Yuxuan leisurely.
Good tea.
Gentle and noble.
"So uncle, should I despair?"
"That's not true."
In fact, Li Yuxuan wanted to comfort Li Yun in advance.
Today Li Yun is at the peak of his powers.
Already the Optimus Prime of the Chinese film and television industry.
But the more powerful and courageous the position, the more I feel...
Hold still.
Gotta hold on.
The mentality must be polished. Li Yuxuan feels that the more talented you are, the more arrogant you will be.
The easier it is to recover after a fall.
However, at this time, Li Yun was smiling excitedly.
"Isn't it great? When "Westworld" also failed to me, people won't think I'm crazy when they hear that I want to challenge Cameron."
At this time, Li Yuxuan seemed to feel that he had heard something wrong.
"You want to challenge Cameron?!"
