My Attic Connects To Other Worlds - v2 Chapter 134
“Wen Xingxing, let’s play the 2035 version of the “Three-Body” trilogy again, and then once again feel the unprecedented shock.”
“Okay.” Wen Mingxing said.
Then, a huge virtual screen unfolded.
A movie that can be loaded into movie history records and played from the beginning.
Wang Huan was once again intoxicated, and once again was shocked as never before.
………………
To be honest, shooting “Three-Body” is indeed a hell-level difficulty.
The six giants in Hollywood have all spoken clearly and plainly.
It is extremely difficult to change this work.
“World of Warcraft” is already a world-renowned super IP, and there is no shortage of protagonists who can let the audience substitute emotions, although there are many protagonists, Thrall, Illidan, Arthas, Silvanaras, even if they are King Varian, whoever pulls one out, can be the protagonist of a certain movie.
But it also has great difficulty in changing, because these plots are too closely linked up and down, and there is a causal relationship with each other, but the historical span is too long and too long.
If you start shooting from the beginning of history, there is no suitable protagonist.
I started filming with a wonderful protagonist, but found that there were too many plots in the front that could not be explained.
After several years of operation, the first film of “Warcraft” was completed. Despite the shortcomings of this and that, and there are some complaints, it is still a well-completed movie.
However, this movie can be regarded as a hit on the street, the global box office has almost no cost recovery, and there is basically no second one.
The difficulty of changing “Three-Body” is even higher than that of “Warcraft”.
In another world, a company once bought the copyright of “Three Body” and made the first film.
As a result, after a very high-level leader went to watch the film, the film was directly sealed and not released.
It’s useless to make up shots or additional shots.
After that, “The Wandering Earth” used a super high degree of completion, blasting a box office of more than five billion yuan, and this year became the first year of Chinese science fiction movies.
But to be honest, there is still a very, very big difference between the plot in the “Wandering Earth” movie and the original novel.
The movie certainly inherits the spiritual core and setting of the novel, as well as the grand world view, but other than that, the relevant characters and the plot are almost irrelevant.
The Wandering Earth novel is short, but the story is shocking, and the time span is not short.
The movie “The Wandering Earth” is more like intercepting a certain period of time in the novel, and then adapting it in this gap, filling in its own story, so it has a very complete story.
But… “Three Body” is difficult to adapt like this.
At least the first trisomy can’t do that.
Because of the original novel of the first three-body novel, there is a very complete story in itself, and it doesn’t even change the plot much.
It’s not that Wang Huan didn’t think that he would get huge praise and huge box office success like “The Wandering Earth”.
But… tell the truth.
“Wandering Earth” in science fiction movies should be regarded as a **** for “Three-Body” to accumulate experience.
“Three Body” is the king of Chinese science fiction.
It’s just that this king bomb is really too difficult.
Otherwise, so many years have passed. The real giant has not dared to make a movie about it.
As a result, Netflix in the United States bought its copyright and made a TV series.
In the other world until 2021, no real movies will come out.
In the future history learned in the Tower of Doomsday.
Wang Huan knew that many versions of “Three Body” were shot in the following decades.
If you talk about the box office alone, they have basically achieved great success.
but……
On the completion of word-of-mouth theory, almost all of the versions have been scolded.
They are all very unsatisfactory.
It was not until 2035 that the most perfect “Three-Body” trilogy appeared.
This version has reached its limit whether it is the picture, the lineup, or the script structure, the degree of completion, and so on.
It was this version of the “Three-Body” trilogy that truly conquered the world.
This is this version of the trilogy that really defeated the Hollywood masterpiece from the front.
In the mid-2020s of Chinese movies, the domestic box office market surpassed that of the United States.
But the global box office has always lagged far behind the United States.
Almost no film can compete with Hollywood, even if China’s GDP has surpassed that of the United States, becoming the world’s number one.
Until 2035 this trisomy.
It truly defeated Hollywood blockbusters in the global market.
Therefore, this version of “Three Body” has become an extremely important work in the future of Chinese film history, even in the history of world film.
And this edition of “Three Body” adopts a very bold adaptation method.
The first part is not much adapted.
In the second part, the adaptation is a little bolder, but it still follows the character structure in it, and it still follows the timeline and world frame in the book, but it has begun to add stories.
The third part, the adaptation is the most daring. It still follows the world frame, world view, and timeline in the book, but many stories and characters have been recreated. But one thing is that there must be the soul of “Three-Body”, and it absolutely does not violate the timeline inside, and does not violate the causal relationship inside.
This is a very risky behavior.
However, it succeeded in the end, and it was a big success.
And this version of the trilogy took a total of more than four years.
It almost dragged down three investors one after another, spending their budgets time and time again, and fooling the filmmakers they really loved, tricking them into the crew and saying guest appearances, then inexplicably guest appearances became leading actors, and inexplicably turned into investments. business.
In this way, the entire trilogy cost 4.5 billion yuan.
This is almost triple the 1.6 billion originally planned.
And the total duration of the entire trilogy is close to 11 hours.
This is a very exaggerated length of time. Generally speaking, a movie is about 100 minutes, even “Avengers 4” is only 182 minutes.
There are even some movies, there is only one, but desperately injecting water, and then divided into two parts.
The first time I played this way, I cheated a lot of the box office. (I’m talking about you, “Red Cliff”)
The second time I played like this, it was completely finished, and the movie was okay.
The longer a movie is, the more it affects the box office, because fewer shows can be played.
In this version of the “Three-Body” trilogy, each one takes more than 200 minutes on average, which is twice as long as other movies.
Therefore, the idea of the film and the investors at that time was just that.
Forget it, let it go.
Anyway, we head iron.
It took more than four years to shoot in total, and experienced countless hardships and tortures. Now it’s released, but it’s relieved.
Whether it is death or alive, stretching one’s head and shrinking one’s head is also a cut.
I just won’t cut it. If your publisher forces me, I won’t cut it either.
As a result, it was a big success.
An unexpected success.
It broke all previous box office records, and put aside the previous record far, far away.
In 2035, the Chinese film market has been saturated, and the market size has not risen for several years.
It’s not like before 2020, because of the rapid development of the market, a film burst out inexplicably.
The record appeared unexpectedly by everyone.
For example, a small-cost comedy that was inexplicably hit a box office of more than one billion yuan and became the box office champion of a domestic film.
Immediately afterwards, another fantasy film with a mediocre quality was released, directing more than two billion yuan.
Immediately afterwards, a War Wolf was 2.58 billion.
Then, an animated film “Nezha” directly soared to 5 billion.
The entire film market is full of miracles, constantly refreshing people’s cognition.
But this miracle stopped almost a few years later.
Until 2035, this version of “Three-body” is the most reductive of the essence of the three-body, but in a certain way, the story is the boldest three-body.
Therefore, to some extent, the Chinese are definitely not standing still.
Look at “The Return of the Great Sage”, look at “Nezha Devil Boy Comes into the World”, which one has a huge adaptation?
But it can’t be changed randomly, it needs a strong spiritual core.
………………
Therefore, Wang Huan directly adopted this 2035 edition of the “Three-Body” trilogy written in the annals of history.
Of course, the script is used, and the original film cannot be taken directly.
Then according to this version, take another shot.
This is also a huge project.
What about… special effects?
This is the hardest and most difficult part of this movie. The entire trilogy, almost two-thirds of the time, has special effects.
According to the current level of China’s film industry, it simply cannot be done.
Even if Wang Huan spends money madly regardless of the cost.
The effect made is also much worse than that of Hollywood.
After all, this is not 2020. At that time, China’s stunt level was pretty good. Many of the stunts in Hollywood movies were outsourced by Chinese companies.
It’s 2005, and stunts are… hard to describe.
Basically, movies that require special effects are produced by foreign companies.
But Wang Huan has already said that he will definitely not find foreign companies, all will be done in China.
Therefore, he will acquire a special effects company, and then recruit the best talents in the country for special effects production.
But… this is far from enough.
The effect that comes out is probably more than a decade behind Hollywood.
Such a filming effect will become the laughing stock of the world.
At that time, it will be handed over to the Tower of Doomsday for the final rendering.
Or, directly purchase the artificial intelligence in the Tower of Doomsday, as well as computer special effects software, and come to the real world.
In short, it is a little bit of futuristic technology in the Tower of Doomsday to pour into the real world.
The final result is.
The technology company established by Wang Huan can really accomplish the world’s top special effects.
He has learned about the history of another world.
2016 was the first year of VR, the first year of virtual reality, after which it was completely silent for several years.
Until the release of the game “Half-Life: Alex”, virtual reality was once again activated and became a new era.
After that, under the impetus of several giant companies, virtual reality developed extremely rapidly.
Only a decade or so has changed the entertainment of the entire world.
And virtual reality has a boosting effect on computer graphics technology, three-dimensional and other technologies by leaps and bounds.
Because games in VR are more vivid and delicate in graphics than PC and console games.
So the “Half-Life: Alex” game process is only a few hours, and the map is considered small, but the game volume is 50G.
And a hundred years later.
The production of the virtual world is completely pure.
It’s hard to tell the truth from the real world, and there are completely fool-like software, countless elements, even a novice can create an extremely real virtual world, let alone movie special effects.
Therefore, this time, Wang Huan will not only make a film that shocks the world.
We must also use our own efforts to directly promote China’s film industry to a whole new height, an astonishing height.
……………………
3D movies existed a long time ago.
But the movie that really promoted 3D movies thoroughly and became so popular that it even promoted the movie market and promoted the development of IMAX theaters, that is, James Cameron’s “Avatar”.
This is also a film that can be recorded in the annals of history, not an artistic achievement, but also a technical achievement.
The amazing IMAX frame, a completely virtual planet world, and an incomparable 3D stereoscopic effect.
At that time, audiences all over the world were crazy about it.
There are even some viewers who travel far to the first-tier cities just to experience the effects of IMAX3d.
So at that time, the real domestic IMAX theater actually raised the ticket price to 160 yuan, and just like that, there were still long queues outside.
Line up to buy movie tickets, this kind of thing can happen.
And at that time, the IMAX theater wanted to play it on-line 24 hours a day, which caused a malfunction, so the theater manager even knelt down to apologize.
Some people even shouted that “Avatar” is a revolution in the film industry.
That is to say, this movie directly increased China’s box office record from 400 million yuan to 1.4 billion yuan.
The world box office record went from 1.8 billion U.S. dollars to 2.7 billion U.S. dollars.
The US box office record rose to $760 million.
However, this movie was released in 2009.
That’s a pity!
This film revolution may not be the turn of Card God.
Wang Huan’s “Three-Body” trilogy will create this revolution.
Even more violent and crazier.
With the help of the future technology of the Tower of Doomsday, the special effects will be even more amazing.
The plot will be even more shocking.
3D effects, the power of IMAX, and so on, everything is required.
In short, it is to give birth to an unprecedented film revolution.
It is to speculate the effect of the previous “Avatar”.
This is a brand new visual revolution, this is an epic masterpiece, this is an epoch-making work that subverts the history of film.
Don’t you come in and have a look?
And the cost of the hype this time should be much lower than that of “Avatar”.
Because the film has not yet started shooting, it is already famous all over the world.
Wang Huan and the President of the United States had a terrifying gambling game. As long as you watch TV, as long as you surf the Internet, as long as you read the newspaper, it is impossible not to know.
Moreover, the “Three-Body” novel is selling wildly all over the world.
In contrast, “Avatar” is a brand new IP, relying entirely on the reputation of Kashen.
So after that, another super IP broke the US box office record of “Avatar”, that is, “Star Wars The Force Awakens.”
The global box office record was also broken by another big IP, “Avengers 4: Endgame.”
Because of the crazy hype of several major events, “Three Body” has a more amazing reputation than another in history, and even a geometric magnification.
Has also become a super big IP.
So, this super movie revolution, let me break out! !
………………
Next!
Wang Huan registered a film company. For convenience, he bought one directly and cost him 30 million.
Next, he spent another 20 million to acquire a film and television special effects production company and recruited nationwide.
The salary is three times the industry average salary, the number of recruits exceeds 300, and the company’s per capita salary exceeds 10,000.
Ten thousand yuan in 2005 is very amazing.
In other words, the film has not yet started shooting, and it cost almost hundreds of millions.
More than two months later.
Finally, the framework of the company was reluctantly formed.
Then, Wang Huan officially held a press conference.
“The crew of the “Three-Body” trilogy is officially established.”
“Trilogy films, with an initial investment of 1.5 billion RMB, without a ceiling!”
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.
1.5 billion yuan investment? !
This…this…this is crazy.
The biggest investment in Chinese films now is “Full City with Golden A”, which is claimed to be 360 million. It has not been released yet, so I don’t know the effect.
And you have to invest 1.5 billion, which is crazy.
How can it be used up?
But now in the film industry, the so-called investment amount is all water injection, and they are all bragging.
But… Wang Huan is actually 1.5 billion.
He took out all the royalties from the “Three-Body” trilogy.
In another history, Liu’s “Three-Body” has sold more than 20 million copies.
Thanks to the occurrence of so many major events, coupled with the crazy hype effect, the effect of public opinion.
In this world, the sales of the “Three-Body” trilogy have increased a lot.
In addition, European and American books are very expensive, each is 35 US dollars, the royalties for the first part are 12%, and the royalties for the second and third parts have also risen a little.
Therefore, the royalties earned by Wang Huan are astronomical figures, even after paying taxes.
Because people all over the world think this is a loss-making movie, it is not difficult for Wang Huan to be a human being. He does not invest any investment, so he is a sole proprietor.
The next step is to build a group.
Very smooth, but also very unsatisfactory.
It went smoothly because all the professionals almost flocked to the scene, squeezing their heads and wanting to enter Wang Huan’s “Three-Body” crew.
The best props, lighting, production, etc. in the country.
Brokerage companies across the country desperately walked through the back door, trying to cram actors into Wang Huan’s crew.
All film and television bases across the country sent faxes, and even the person in charge came to see Wang Huan and asked Wang Huan to go to their film and television bases to shoot.
All the abrasive tool manufacturers squeeze in front of Wang Huan’s company every day, unwilling to leave.
Because this project is too big, countless people want to make money and make a name in it.
If it doesn’t go well, it is to choose the assistant director.
Because this movie is too big, I don’t know how many assistant directors it needs.
Because Wang Huan wanted to make this movie the ultimate, he invited the top directors in China.
but……
The goals he invited, almost without exception, all refused.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Wang Huan, I have a schedule and I really don’t have time. Thank you very much for your invitation.”
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Wang Huan, I’m not in good health lately, I want to rest for a while, sorry, sorry…”
“Sorry, I am studying abroad and will not go back for a short time.”
The first-rate directors from China to Xiangjiang all rejected Wang Huan.
Because the relationship between this movie is too big.
Moreover, the slogan Wang Huan shouted was too big, claiming to destroy the trilogy of “Star Wars”.
They feel unreliable and are doomed to fail.
Once it fails, Wang Huan will take responsibility, and they may also take responsibility.
There is another key reason.
The domestic directors are more “advanced” in thinking, so they don’t like Wang Huan from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially don’t like Wang Huan Tiantian and the United States.
Of course, there are also very left-hand directors in China, the kind that is full of idealism, and they are very good.
But the big director is very domineering.
Most movies will become his works when they get into his hands, even if he is just an actor.
There was once such a “Looking for a Gun”, the director Jiang was just an actor, and the director was Lu.
Jiang Mou looked at it and said that you were not shooting like this, and that you were shooting like that.
Forget it, go aside, let me come!
So it is completely impossible to make him a deputy.
Looking for a famous director as a deputy, it completely failed.
But the top producers have successfully found several, all of whom are the most professional.
In the end, Wang Huan named an assistant director as an assistant.
Almost completely unknown, even though he is already the deputy director of “Chinese Divorce”.
But in the film industry, I don’t have any reputation, and I haven’t participated in any major production experience.
This person’s name is Ning Hao, and his first degree is a technical secondary school. He currently graduated from the Department of Photography of Beijing Film and Television University.
The news came out.
The public opinion was in an uproar once again.
Hahaha!
You, Wang Huan, invited so many professional directors before, but they were all rejected.
Whether it’s a mainland director or a major director from Hong Kong, they all rejected you.
There have been about fifteen well-known directors, all of whom refused Wang Huan’s invitation, unwilling to become his deputy.
Even if you can’t find the best, you can also find a second-line director.
It shouldn’t be difficult to find a second-line director to be the assistant director for such a big production and investment of so much money.
You don’t need to find such a crooked melon.
Technical secondary school students, adult education students.
No independent has ever had any decent film and television drama.
You, Wang Huan, have never made any movies before, and have never studied filmmaking.
Therefore, the so-called assistant director may be the real director.
No wonder the previous big directors rejected you all because they were afraid of not being able to take responsibility.
So now you are looking for such a secondary school student, adult education student?
This means that this 1.5 billion investment of large production, he is completely alone to shoot, oh?
It’s crazy, it’s crazy.
This is considered to be throwing 1.5 billion into the water.
At any rate, you find a Beiying, or undergraduate or master student who graduated formally from Chinese Opera to be your assistant director.
This movie must be cold! The only suspense now is how bad it will be.
………………………………
After all the power was lost, Wang Huan finally found enough assistant director team and production team.
The actors have not yet recruited, and the entire crew has already surpassed a few hundred people.
The movie hasn’t started shooting, it’s already spending money.
The best costumes, the best music, the best lighting, the best props, and so on, everything is the best.
No cost at all.
In addition to the director, other professionals are flocking to it.
Because it can make money, there is no need to bear the cost.
In light music production, I found two masters, Hu Weili and Gu Jiahui, and Zuo Ling also joined the group to study.
Costumes and props are all the top talents in the industry.
For action manufacturing, Yuan Baye’s team is not enough, and two other action teams have been found.
The next step is to find actors.
The first actor to be settled is the queen star Lin Bing, who will play the heroine Ye Wenjie.
Of course, it was obviously interviewing actors, but inexplicably, the interview went to bed again.
“Is this an unspoken rule?” Lin Bing asked with a smile.
Wang Huan said, “You obviously enjoy it so much, but I am the one who suffers.”
Then Wang Huan said, “I owe you what I owe you, and I still pay it now.”
Because, in order to help Wang Huan, Lin Bing lost two Hollywood movie appointments.
Now, Wang Huan gave her a world-class heroine.
Lin Bing said, “It’s enough for you to pay me a dollar.”
Wang Huan said: “Nonsense, I obviously gave you billions.”
“Bah!” Lin Bing tweeted: “You come here while I am safe. If you become pregnant, what should you do?”
Wang Huan said: “The movie pay, I will pay you 20 million.”
Lin Bing said seriously: “It’s really not necessary, I am willing to accept a dollar.”
Wang Huan said: “This movie has a very big mission, but the more it is, the less moral kidnapping can be done, otherwise it will destroy the movie ecology.”
Wang Huan hates a certain movie ecology in another world.
There is a kind of movie, crowned with a certain tall name, countless stars, with very low pay to shoot.
Therefore, the movie is not a good script, just watch hundreds of stars show their faces, and then make a lot of money.
Even if it’s a gift-giving movie, we are looking for the most professional actors, the best scripts, and shooting with the best attitude.
Therefore, Wang Huan’s movie will definitely not be a celebrity gathering, let alone a traffic star.
I will definitely find the most professional and outstanding actors.
Then, give the most appropriate pay.
It will never be a moral kidnapping because this is a film full of mission, and then let countless stars come to guest appearances, giving people a symbolic reward.
This is a normal movie. Give it as much as you want.
Lin Bing said: “I understand, this is the allusion of Zi Gong redeeming people. Then I will collect the 20 million, which is regarded as the maintenance fee for you to sleep so many times.”
Damn, you woman can really say anything.
Wang Huan said, “How much is it?”
Lin Bing said: “I am an international film queen, at least one thousand yuan once.”
Oh my god, one thousand yuan at a time.
Twenty million, at least 20,000 sleeps?
That will be the year of the monkey.
At this time, Lin Bing said: “Come, come, collect you so much money, I want meat… I pay, come and come again.”
At this moment, the knock on the door rang out, a very familiar and cheerful voice.
“Wang Huan, open the door, I know you are inside.”
“I was training in a closed session and sneaked out to find you. Are you pleasantly surprised?”
Wang Huan shuddered suddenly, because the diving queen Bai Xue outside the door, she has always regarded herself as Wang Huan’s true girlfriend.
………………………………
Note: The plot of the movie will not be written in detail, and will be roughly skipped. I went to eat, low blood sugar and dizzy, and then wrote the second update, still striving for about 11 o’clock.
Dear friends, do you still have a monthly pass? It’s really dangerous, help me!
