Chapter 078 Opening Ceremony

Robbie put down the phone and looked at the huge studio in front of him.

He has been in the blue-screen studio for more than half a month, dissolving and debugging the images every day, because the appearance of the alien he plays has been corrected by specially hired art experts, so his daily work is on the blue-screen Contribute models, switch back and forth.

"Fly to Ptolemy", Donghuang is another big project after "Fourteen States". For this brand-new science fiction project that has hardly been touched, Donghuang attaches great importance to it with the naked eye.

Among other things, the film's budget was specially hired to do it by a team.

Robry had seen the budget plan for the movie, and the entire budget plan was printed on A4 paper, a full 219 pages were printed, which was a thick stack.

Everything is detailed, from the salaries of the cast members to the cast members, from equipment to props, from special effects to editing costs, and even the expenses of water, electricity, car fares, and opening and subtitles.

Robry had only seen Ma Ning do this before, because the budget was really tight, and if he didn't save himself, the crew might not have a box lunch for the next meal.

But a big movie with a big production can be accurate to this point, this is a professional problem.

Donghuang is professional.

At the previous script seminar, the film producer, that is, the director of the production department of Donghuang, spoke, and even the down jackets for the actors in winter were considered in the budget.

"The movie will start filming in August, and it won't be finished until mid-November. November is the cold winter. We must consider the issue of keeping warm. Do we need to prepare down jackets or military coats? How much will it cost? These are all issues that need to be considered in advance, as well as ours. The filming crew also needs to make a set of their own clothes..."

The hoodie worn by Robry, with the words "Fly to Ptolemy" printed on the back, is the overalls of the crew. There are sets for actors and staff, anyway, it looks pretty.

Even the young actor Wang Feifei has a small hoodie.

The 6-year-old child has a kind of honey confidence in making movies, thinking that this movie is the starting point of his "road to superstardom", and openly refuses to watch with his parents, because in the movie, the role he plays is far away from his parents , alone on the spaceship and planet.

Good guy, the director Wang Kai and his wife are not coming, but Robbie is both a father and a mother, shouldering the responsibility of taking care of Wang Feifei's child.

... Even going to the toilet has to drag this little tail.

"radish?"

"radish!"

Wang Feifei, who was in the toilet, couldn't hear the echo, and suddenly became anxious, pushed open the toilet door and rushed out.

The dark toilet is so scary.

Wang Feifei is afraid of the dark.

Robrey walked on without a word.

Wang Feifei asked persistently, "Why didn't you answer me?"

"why?!"

Robbie: "..."

Robbie was annoyed: "Damn it, can't you see, the one you slipped into is the women's toilet."

Robli rolled his eyes: "...You can see the aptitude of a hooligan since you were a child."

Robrey: "Little rascal."

……

Wang Feifei froze: "I didn't see it."

Robrie: "You can't read."

Wang Feifei: "I can read and know more than 200 characters!"

No problem reading the script!

Robry: "More than 200 Arabic numerals."

……

In the afternoon, the opening ceremony of "Fly to Ptolemy" was held in the auditorium.

Leaders from the Propaganda Department of Beijing Dongcheng and Xicheng District Committees, industry experts such as China Space Administration, Beijing Film Academy, China Science Writers Association, Donghuang Company and its main creative team attended the opening ceremony.

Director He Xiangdong, screenwriter Qi Qi, leading actors Luo Bri, Wang Feifei, etc., lined up to make their appearances.

The reporters at the scene immediately turned on the camera, pressed the shutter, and asked questions while shooting.

"Robry, look here, Robbry, what role do you play in this movie?"

Robry took the microphone from the host's hand, cleared his throat, and smiled slightly under the expectant eyes of the reporter.

"...a character who goes from heaven to earth and is omnipotent."

"A character who possesses intelligence that is very different from ordinary people and peeps into the mysteries of the universe."

"A character who gazes at civilization with a pair of cold eyes."

reporter:"……"

The reporter went crazy: "...fuck what kind of character is this?"

Wang Feifei couldn't stand it: "He plays an alien."

……

Wang Feifei puffed up his chest: "He is not the lead actor, the real lead actor is me."

……

Reporter: "Really?"

Robbury looked tolerant: "Soldiers who don't want to be generals aren't good soldiers."

The reporter laughed: "Understood."

……

Seeing the tacit smiles of the reporter and Robry, Wang Feifan widened his eyes: "What do you know?"

The reporters said in unison: "You are the lead actor, you are the lead actor."

Female reporter: "So cute."

Female reporter: "Kawaii."

……

He Xiangdong took the microphone and explained: ""Flying to Ptolemy" mainly tells the story of the Chinese people's exploration of aliens, but the contact between civilizations in the universe is unexpected, and it was finally completed by a child, so Wang Extraordinary children are indeed well-deserved protagonists."

In the sound of the reporters snapping pictures, Wang Feifei puffed up his chest.

Robbie: "..."

Robbury: "How about I contribute tomorrow's headlines to your media, and your headlines can be written like this, amazing! Robrie actually competed with child actors!"

reporter:"……"

Reporter: "Is it okay to dig a groove?"

Reporter: "Robbery, you're so damn talented for quitting the media business."

……

Witnessed by the reporters and friends at the scene, Mr. Donghuang Gu walked up to the stage with He Xiangdong, Qi Qi, Luo Bri and Wang Feifei. Several people grabbed a corner of the red cloth and pulled it away, revealing a brand new camera.

After the opening ceremony, the main creators of the crew entered the press center and held a press conference.

To be honest, the auditorium is not small and can accommodate more than 500 people, but there are too many reporters and photographers present today, and many people have no seats, and even have to stand up and walk in the corridor.

And they are all prepared.

For example, the first question was thrown to Gu Huanzhong.

"May I ask Mr. Gu, the movie "Flying to Ptolemy" is a big production planned by Donghuang, and it is an unprecedented movie involving science fiction. Why did Donghuang hand over such a major movie to a new director?"

Mr. Gu smiled slightly: "Of course it's because this new director's talent is enough for him to direct and support this movie."

Reporter: "I heard that Director He is a new director discovered by Mr. Gu at the venture capital meeting?"

Mr. Gu nodded: "His project is very good. He has carefully prepared for many years and really moved me."

Reporter: "...a sci-fi movie?"

Mr. Gu glanced at him: "Your tone seems to be not optimistic about Chinese sci-fi movies. That's right, Chinese sci-fi movies have always been in a downturn. Some people say that sci-fi movies have no market in China, but Western movies that explore the interstellar world are popular. But China can sell big at the box office, and some people say that China lacks the soil for the growth of science fiction movies, and I disagree with that.”

Mr. Gu: "What is the real reason? If there are too many films that deceive audiences under the name of science fiction films, the audience will be disappointed. What's more, compared with Western science fiction films, Chinese science fiction films lack too much core. Jane In other words, it’s shoddy... In a Western movie, the difference between the simulated spaceship’s wing and the real one’s is measured in centimeters, while Chinese science fiction movies are unrealistic and only rely on their own imagination..."

Mr. Gu analyzed the shortcomings of Chinese science fiction films in detailed language.

"The road of Chinese sci-fi movies is very difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, someone must try. This is what Director He Xiangdong impresses me. There is always the first person to try to change."

China must have its own sci-fi movies.

What's more, Gu Huanzhong also had other considerations in making this sci-fi movie. Now the number of movie screens in China has exceeded 5. In this case, a pathfinder is needed——

To measure the depth and breadth of the market.

Where exactly is the ceiling?

Where is the ideal balance point for a large return on investment?

Perhaps, "Fly to Ptolemy" as a pathfinder, can find out how deep the Chinese film market is.
