acting substitution syndrome

Chapter 048 Ma Ning Version 2.0

"Although, but." He Xiangdong said.

"What?" Robrie didn't hear clearly.

"Although I know that I should make a small-budget movie down-to-earth, to accumulate word-of-mouth, popularity, and even experience," He Xiangdong squeezed his palm tightly: "But I can't wait, because what I want to shoot is... China's first sci-fi movie, a sci-fi movie in the true sense."

Robbury: "...that, I will be charged for today, I treat you to eat."

He heard that there is No. 600 in Shanghai, which is similar to the Sixth Hospital in Beijing. Mental patients will pretend to be normal people, and behave like normal people, but it doesn't matter, just a few words with him can reveal the truth.

He Xiangdong: "...I'm really not joking!"

Robrey said: "Well, you're not kidding, what did you just say you were going to do, make a real sci-fi movie?"

He Xiangdong nodded.

"That's not how you draw big cakes," Robery said, "If you want to say that you invested a million yuan to make a comedy movie with a sci-fi cloak, and you want me to play a role like an alien, then I am happy to be able to act without saying a word, but you said that you invested 1 million yuan and asked me to be the leading role. How can I have such great ability? My first reaction is that one of the two people here must have a brain Clearly, it’s not me anyway, right.”

"Besides, have you invested properly?"

The last sentence is the key, it almost didn't make He Xiangdong cry.

"No one invested at all..." I heard him say: "They all think that I am wishful thinking, and there are still people who are willing to pay for my script, and I am not willing."

The one who is willing to pay for the script is Xiao Zhenting, the boss of Tianji Films Entertainment. The price he offered is not low, 200 million yuan each. It is said that He Xiangdong should sell his script. Is it a day to sell, but he can't bear it.

"This script I created, I am the only one who knows how to shoot it best," He Xiangdong sighed, "For this script, I don't know how much information I have consulted, how many scientists I have visited, and 12 years of painstaking efforts. Not reconciled..."

"What else can you do if you are not reconciled, you still want to direct yourself?" Robery also took a sip with him... Yakult: "Then tell me, how did you get your [-] million budget, money, Where are you going to spend it?"

In the end, when He Xiangdong said this, Robery counted with his fingers, and suddenly became angry: "... 1 million? I think you need at least 2 million, which is about the same!"

Under He Xiangdong's narration, suddenly a familiar smell came over to Luo Buli.

What's the smell?

Ma Ning's picky taste.

"It will cost at least 1000 million yuan just to build a simulated spaceship," Robery said, "There is also the ground command system, and the design of opening and exiting the cabin you mentioned, and after that, there are green screens and blue screens." …According to what you said, as long as the feet are off the ground and the camera turns to the universe, there are almost all special effects, and the special effects must be done well, how expensive it is, and everything is counted by the second!"

So the bosses of major companies were very surprised by the special effects in "The Magic Lamp".

It doesn't match the cost.

Little did he know that at that time Ma Ning was willing to cut himself in exchange for it.

Calculated in this way, the sci-fi movie that He Xiangdong is talking about has a starting price of at least 2 million yuan, and that's not counting the actor's fee.

"I can save it, I've done the math, I can be the director and producer, and I am the screenwriter myself, so the screenwriting fee can also be saved..." He Xiangdong said: "[-] million, I can make it."

Looking at him, Robery almost shed tears. It turned out that he had misjudged his vision. This is like a version 2.0 of Ma Ning.

"There are not many pure filmmakers like you," Robrey wiped the corners of his eyes with emotion, "I will definitely promise to be the leading actor in your movie, really."

"Really?"

"Come and invest as long as you can."

The wine that He Xiangdong just drank suddenly turned into two lines of tears and flowed out: "I don't want to..."

"Then why are you still here talking to me?"

"That's it," who knew He Xiangdong said: "...do you know, the moment my script was finally rejected, I just felt that my whole life was over, and I watched Mr. Gu's back walking in front of me However, I don’t know where the courage came from, I, I, I rushed up to stop him.”

Gu Huanzhong waved away the security guard and chatted with He Xiangdong for a few words.

"He said that sci-fi movies are a field that Chinese people have tried hard but failed repeatedly. More than anyone else, he hopes to see Chinese directors make such a sci-fi movie that belongs to China," He Xiangdong said: "But he doesn't want It was a fledgling director with no directing experience who made such a decision."

He Xiangdong could feel that Mr. Gu was really thinking about his own good and his career as a director.

Robli nodded sincerely: "You know, Lao He, even if you succeed in getting investment and making a movie, but if the movie fails, you will not only lose your future, but you may even make Chinese sci-fi movies that have no foundation suffer again. A big blow."

After all, He Xiangdong should not have made this movie.

In other words, he can take it step by step, first shoot low-cost movies, romance movies, suspense movies, light comedies, how to make money, and then accumulate word of mouth, popularity, and fame step by step until one day...

He stands above the crowd and can realize his dream.

Shoot a... as he said, China's first sci-fi movie, a sci-fi movie in the true sense.

"I know Mr. Gu is for my own good, and I know that I can hardly see the light if I put all my eggs in one basket," but He Xiangdong is the axis: "But I want to prove to him that my hard work really pays off."

He wants to prove that he is worth the [-] million investment.

Prove that you can make a movie like that.

Can turn your imagination into reality.

"I plan to shoot a short scene first, a few scenes," He Xiangdong told Robery of his thoughts: "Take the finished clips and ask for investment. Maybe Mr. Gu will be willing to invest in me after watching the clips."

This is a very good method. In fact, many young foreign directors rely on this method to make a film into a short film for competition. If it is well shot, it will be seen by the company and the producer, and it is possible to invest in it. .

But this is not an easy task. For He Xiangdong, what he wants to shoot is a science fiction movie, in which an important character is an alien, and almost most of the scenes are related to aliens.

So he had to find an extraterrestrial actor first.

Aliens are not made out of thin air by computer, but actors wear specific clothes to perform, and then use CG technology to capture movements and facial expressions, and then synthesize an image on the computer to complete the production of biological special effects

"So you found me?" Robrie was taken aback: "...But I haven't played an alien before."

"I called Teacher Xia Zhongsheng and asked him to recommend a special actor, and he recommended you," He Xiangdong said: "He said that among all his students, the best animal simulation is you, Rob gone."

It seems that so many years have passed, Teacher Xia still remembers Robery's animal performance class, which is almost a perfect course.

Aliens must be different from people on earth, just like animals are different from humans. Robry thought about it for a while and thought that he could learn from animal performances to create a completely different image of aliens.

Seeing He Xiangdong's hesitant expression, Luo Buli smiled and put down his chopsticks.

His eyes turned inward quickly, his mouth turned up in a strange arc, and suddenly a somewhat silly but slightly weird image appeared.

Before He Xiangdong had time to say hello, Luo Buli retracted his arc, and the triangular area of ​​the nose and mouth were pulled away to the two sides, but those eyes were cold and without any emotion.

It's as if... a robot with its mouth ripped out is watching you.

He Xiangdong gasped, overjoyed.

He suddenly felt that the star flavor he thought Robbie carried was actually his own illusion.

It's not a star.

This is a good cast.

Motion capture needs to be carried out in a specific digital company. He Xiangdong found a well-reputed digital technology company for film and television animation. Robry, who had read the script, easily completed the capture of the alien's face and motion.

Before seeing the green screen, Robery's body and face were densely packed with capture devices, binding all joints. He writhed on the ground alone, but repeated several movements dozens of times.

After the video appeared on the computer, Robli took off the trap, sweating profusely all over his body.

He Xiangdong hastily sent up the water in his hand, showing emotion involuntarily.

It's been seven or eight days in a row. As soon as Robry came out of the studio, he started motion capture here. If this kind of motion didn't work a little bit, he would have to repeat it again and again, but he didn't cry out that he was suffering or tired.

"Hey," Luo Buli said after drinking a bottle of water, "Yo Yo Shanquan, this is my endorsement."

"You represent it?"

Robry nodded, thinking of his final commercial, he suddenly felt a little guilty: "...Maybe it won't be broadcast, after all, it's kind of dirty."

He Xiangdong exchanged a few words with the technical staff, nodded, and praised: "Our painstaking efforts were not in vain. People said that the capture was very successful. They can produce the alien image according to my requirements."

Robry nodded and looked at the script: "According to the clips you picked out, the protagonist of the movie is actually a child, and I have a few scenes with the child."

Communication between children and aliens is the subject of science fiction films.

"What about the child?"

"...Still looking for it."
