Chapter 13 The future of domestic science fiction movies?

"Cao Lao Cao, what kind of song is this? This damn melody, paired with the dance of your costumed girl group, is really intoxicating, it's so touching!"

Zhao Huojie came to Cao Zhengjiang and Xu Nuo and asked with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Mr. Zhao, why are you here? Well, this song is not from the music library of our Changle Palace Entertainment City. I think it is the sound source brought here by Director Xu, right?"

Cao Zhengjiang explained it to Mr. Zhao.

"Director Xu?"

Zhao Huojie shook his head and asked drunkenly: "What Director Xu? Which Director Xu? Why didn't I know there was another Director Xu?"

"Drink too much."

Cao Zhengjiang turned around and said to Xu Nuo with a smile: "I was entertaining Mr. Zhao and others in the [Changle Palace] box just now, and I drank a lot at that time."

"It does look like he drank a lot."

Xu Nuo shrugged.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhao, you love and support science fiction so much, so I might as well reveal that the subject matter of my film is definitely innovative enough, involving artificial intelligence and the omnic crisis, as well as time and space travel, and the grandfather paradox.

and other elements, the movie is called "Terminator"."

Xu Nuo shook his head and said.

"OK."

Zhao Huojie became interested in the song that was being played in loop again.

"Remember to inform me when the time comes. If the movie is not bad, I will definitely support it."

He is somewhat similar to Zhou Kun, the second-generation coal worker from before, but Mr. Zhao's knowledge level is obviously much higher than Zhou Kun, the second-generation coal worker.

Xu Nuo originally didn't want to reveal information about the movie he was filming. After all, there is still post-production, and the schedule is not yet set.

Zhao Huojie was quite proactive and had already taken out his mobile phone to scan Xu Nuo's QR code.

After Zhao Huojie made a brief comment, he then asked: "When will it be released?"

That's why he spent 120 million to invest in "Haicheng Fortress".

Xu Nuo followed Mr. Zhao's words and said.

"Oh, this is an original song from our company."

Zhao Huojie asked expectantly.

I invested in science fiction movies and lost money, but the one I was able to match in the past two years was last year's "Haicheng Fortress", a science fiction movie about humankind's defense against alien attacks.

"I'm somewhat interested, but I think it should be a low-budget science fiction movie, right? After all, if you want to make a science fiction movie, you have to spend a lot of money on it."

Seeing this, Xu Nuo added Zhao Huojie's WeChat account. From the friends circle he allowed access to, it can be seen that he is indeed a young man who likes science fiction movies.

"Is it possible that Mr. Zhao invested in "Haicheng Fortress"?"

Xu Nuo briefly analyzed some of the main factors leading to the failure of "Haicheng Fortress".

"Come on, Director Xu, I'll add you on WeChat. If your "Terminator" is released, remember to notify me."

Zhao Huojie subconsciously thought that what Xu Nuo was filming was an "urban science fiction" movie with a science fiction gimmick.

Zhao Huojie continued to look at Xu Nuo and asked.

After all, Zhou Kun, the second-generation coal miner, is a talented person who can combine Einstein and gravity.

From a personal perspective, he very much hopes that domestic science fiction films can do well, become bigger and stronger, and become a mainstream in the history of world cinema.

Xu Nuo nodded calmly.

Although he was a second-generation rich man and it was okay for him to spend all his money on the family and spend his time, investment, after all, involved the business field, so his father took it very seriously.

In this parallel world, Xu Nuo found that most science fiction movies were about alien attacks. They were too cliche and too lazy to innovate at all?

"Haicheng Fortress" was also a hit. Audiences were tired of watching sci-fi movies about alien invasions. In addition, the quality of the film itself was very poor. Therefore, "Haicheng Fortress" eventually failed at the box office and was eliminated.

The young master Zhao in front of him had to be criticized by his father.

"Director Xu, right? I've never heard of Director Xu in the film and television industry?"

When Zhao Huojie said this, he paused for a moment, then his face changed slightly, and he suddenly cursed: "Made lost a lot of money and asked my father to give me a good training!"

"There are so many science fiction elements. It sounds really interesting. Terminator, this movie title is pretty good too."

"Have you just finished shooting a movie? What movie? I am very interested in movies, especially science fiction movies. Lao Cao knows that I have also participated in a science fiction movie before, right?"

It also costs a lot of money to do special effects in the later stage, but in the end, all the money was given to the actors, so there was no money left for special effects. Therefore, the special effects of "Haicheng Fortress" were also criticized.

"This new film I made is indeed a science fiction film."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhao's drinking capacity is much more than that."

It's better to lend his hand and reveal a little information about "Terminator" first, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the promotion of "Terminator".

"Did you really make a science fiction movie? Director Xu, what's the name of the movie you made?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, the film hasn't been cut yet, and the post-production hasn't been done yet."

As a result, "Haicheng Fortress" deeply broke the heart of this rich second generation who was only 22 years old.

Because there are too many of these in the domestic film market, the results are almost overwhelming.

“Sigh, I really don’t know what the future holds for our domestic science fiction movies.”

"Master Zhao really wants to know?"

Xu Nuo shook his head modestly.

"Go, go, go aside."

"There were no well-known works in the past, but today I completed the filming of a movie. Why don't we bring the brothers from the crew over to celebrate."

Afterwards, Cao Zhengjiang quickly called his manager: "Quick, quick, quick, help Mr. Zhao back to the box to have a good rest and sober up."

But on second thought, Mr. Zhao was able to invest 120 million in "Haicheng Fortress", which shows that he really loves science fiction movies and must have a certain influence in the circle.

"Director Xu, you know a lot about science fiction movies. Is it possible that you also make science fiction films?"

Also, the director of "Haicheng Fortress" was not serious enough at all and did not polish the script properly. Instead, he just randomly found a few popular stars and started shooting. How is this the attitude a director should have towards a movie?"

"Yes, yes, this is the movie. It's really rubbish. It's a shame that I like science fiction so much. What kind of thing was it made for? 130 million. I invested 130 million!"

After hearing Xu Nuo's analysis, Zhao Huojie felt that it did make sense.

"The cost is not small, the production cost is 200 million."

Cao Zhengjiang followed his words and continued.

But there is no need for me to notify you at that time. I believe it won’t be long before the entire Internet will be discussing this “Terminator”. Yes, Xu Nuo is so confident in the upcoming announcement.

As soon as science fiction movies were mentioned, Zhao Huojie immediately became interested.

Xu Nuo didn't realize that Mr. Zhao had any malicious intent. He looked more like a rich second generation who was immature and had not grown up.

"Two hundred million? Although it's not a lot, it's certainly a lot. I have to say, Director Xu, you have successfully aroused my curiosity. Why don't you reveal it to me?"

As soon as Zhao Huojie mentioned this, his teeth itched with hatred.

Zhao Huojie cast his eyes on Xu Nuo and murmured in confusion.

At this time, Cao Zhengjiang also quickly asked: "Director Xu, what is your song...?"

Xu Nuo agreed.

What Xu Nuo didn't expect was that the first step in promoting his "Terminator" was to start talking to a rich second generation in Changle Palace Entertainment City.

"Oh, by the way, Lao Cao said just now that the song played in your box was the sound source you brought yourself?"

"The failure of "Haicheng Fortress" is inevitable. First of all, its theme type is too old-fashioned. It's no longer the same age, and it's still fighting against alien invasion.

When Xu Nuo heard this, he made a guess.

"What's wrong, I'm just a young director with little reputation. It's normal for Mr. Zhao not to know about me."

Zhao Huojie waved his hand and pushed away the manager who came up to help him, then shook his head a few times, and his condition suddenly seemed to be much better than before: "Old Cao, please don't talk nonsense, I'm not drunk.

"

Then there is the fact that this movie spent its money in the wrong place. The male protagonist's salary is 70 million, and the female protagonist's salary is 50 million, which adds up to 120 million.

Zhao Huojie couldn't help but sigh again.

It would be okay if the investment succeeded, but the key point is that the investment failed. Now, it would be great. I would become a "good-for-nothing" son in the eyes of my father.

"What movies have you made?"

"That's it. Director Xu, to tell you the truth, this original song by your company is very nice. The most important thing is that I think this song is particularly suitable for an ancient entertainment environment like our Changle Palace."

Cao Zhengjiang just came over to say hello to Xu Nuo, just to ask about the song: "Director Xu, look at you, me, and Mr. Zhao, it is fate that we are here today, Mr. Zhao must also want to

You heard this song at Changle Palace, right? Director Xu, would you like to consider selling this song to us at Changle Palace? The price is negotiable."

Cao Zhengjiang can be sure.

As long as my Changle Palace Entertainment City can obtain the copyright of this song, then the business will definitely reach a higher level.
