After thinking about it, the production cost of "Inception" was 160 million US dollars, and it was 160 million US dollars for me. The filming may not be much worse than his!

Thinking of this, Zhang Junsheng finally felt a little relieved...

However, the biggest advantage of Nolan's movies is that they have fewer logical flaws, and various plot twists and turns can basically give a sufficient foundation and explanation, and it is almost no difficulty to understand.

Whether it is "The Moment of War", "The Deadly Magic" or "The Dark Knight", it is easy to understand!

Very typical commercial film!

After all, it is an investment of over 100 million US dollars!

Investors cannot allow the director to turn such a big investment into an author's movie...

Since entering the commercial film industry, Nolan himself has not made any mysterious things in the movie. It’s just that too many brainless fans have to over-interpret it, which makes the Nolan movies in their eyes obscure and difficult to understand.

As a commercial director, Christopher Nolan will never target the music and the widow, so the movies he made are still people-friendly - that is, easy to understand.

There is a famous saying in Hollywood: Overly complex and obscure plots and philosophical thinking, as well as deliberately added depth and thinking, are all powerful tools to kill commercial movies!

So, "Cloud Map" failed!

I don’t understand many movie fans, why do I think "Inception" and "Interstellar" are difficult to understand...

Are you sure we are watching a movie?

"Interstellar", this film is dressed in the guise of science fiction and has made great efforts in scientific theory and technical details. However, its core is just to promote "love". This is a theme that is so vulgar that it cannot be more vulgar in Hollywood.

"Inception" is also a movie created completely based on the classic Hollywood narrative structure: motivating events, progress entanglements, crisis, climax, ending...

Cobb accepted Uncle Ming's task, and Cobb had no way out since then and could only complete the task to realize his wish to go home;

Afterwards, Cobb summoned his assistants to plan and implement the task as the progress of the story, and during this period he experienced the crisis of Uncle Ming's injury;

The subsequent crisis forced Cobb to have the fourth level of dream, thus encountering Mel. The climax of the story is also here. Cobb untied his heart, bid farewell to Mel, and went to Chaos to save Uncle Ming;

The mission was successful, everyone woke up on the plane, Uncle Ming kept his promise, and Cobb returned to the United States safely, and this is the end of the story.

Is it difficult to understand?

...

After the filming ended, Zhang Junsheng, the producer who was named, finally had the opportunity to chat with Nolan.

"Nolan, Cameron's "Avatar", do you know?"

"Know a little."

"The trailer is said to have received 600 million views!"

The promotion of "Avatar" has been in full swing. The Venice Film Festival released a trailer, which immediately attracted global attention...

The charm of the 3D movie world...

Nolan shook his head: "But 3D technology is simply not enough to provide high-quality images, because it will produce ghosting, darkening, dizzy, and directly affect the expressiveness of details."

"And I think 3D is a misleading thing. The things shot from film are originally 3D. Photography itself is a three-dimensional technology."

"This is because the effect of 3D is more about reducing the large screen, making the viewer feel like he is in a very compact and small space, and everything is overwhelming. This sense of cramping is not very consistent with science fiction and space themes. Instead, 2D can make the audience feel the grand scale of celestial bodies."

Zhang Junsheng nodded and replied according to his thoughts...

Director Nolan is the most determined film enthusiast. Apart from having a special liking for IMAX, he is not interested in 3D and numbers. He sticks to his pure film fun and enthusiasm and has some prejudice against 3D technology.

"But with the advancement of technology, I am still willing to believe that 3D will be used in more movies!"

However, 3D movies are the general trend of the future. Ang Lee is right. Let’s not rush to deny or affirm it. Let’s calm down and study it to see what changes will bring in the future...

Technology itself is innocent, the key depends on who is in charge of the technology!

Only technical theory is wrong. For movies, content is the king!

"When "Inception" is released in mainland China next year, I hope to come to China."

"must!"

Nolan didn't ask Zhang Junsheng why he was sure that "Inception" could be released in the mainland...

He had already estimated Zhang Junsheng's ability in advance when he chose to cooperate with Zhang Junsheng.

...

The shock of the studio not only made Zhang Junsheng feel the distance between Chinese films, but also Song Xiaofei and Rao Xiaozhi who were traveling with him were also a little scared...

The rotating corridor set truly builds a closed staircase that looks like infinite loop lifting from a specific angle...

This thing is hard to imagine!

“A big investment of $160 million…”

"Junsheng, do you believe so much that "Inception" can recover the cost?"

"certainly!"

Zhang Junsheng didn't think about it: "Every investment I make is aimed at making a profit!"

If the memory is correct, "Inception" has a global box office of over 800 million...

Not to mention the surrounding area, the surrounding area has received US$200 million in various authorizations in North America and Europe alone...

Of course, it all was based on the box office hit of Inception.

It can be said that without box office, there will definitely be no such amazing peripheral revenue.

Commercial movies are not just box office theory, there must be problems with their brains.

Song Xiaofei looked out the window and changed the topic: "Junsheng, do you think Xu Yongan will agree to cooperate with us?"

Xu Yongan is the boss of Hengdian Film and Television City...

"…It's hard to say, but the current situation is already very obvious. Our film and television city has the most concentrated post-production organization in the country. Hengdian has 60% of the crews in the country every year, which will benefit both!

Hengdian Film and Television City has an advantage that many film and television cities in China cannot match. They have a very complete industrial chain. All the factors of film and television production can be found in Hengdian, such as props, costumes, power trains, transportation vehicles, fireworks, makeup, extras, special actors, etc.

Su*zhou Film and Television City cannot compare with it in this regard, but these two places are very close. Zhang Junsheng discussed with Zhang's father and moved his special effects company headquarters to Su*zhou Film and Television City. With the support of Yuehua Special Effects, the surrounding supporting companies were soon established. Xie Ning told Base  FX, Digital Kingdom, and Tiangong Yicai three special effects companies settled in Su*zhou Film and Television City...

You can buy special effects, hardware, software, etc., and the most important thing is labor cost!

The first two items, software and hardware, can be rented in Su*zhou Film and Television City!

The last item is also the main reason why the special effects company settled in Su*zhou Film and Television City: there are many special effects processes for movies, complicated software debugging, and the production takes a long time, which takes thousands of people to complete together.

Take "The Tangshan Earthquake" as an example. A movie is distributed to four companies, and it only takes eight months to complete!

Therefore, the gathering of special effects companies is the general trend!

Su*zhou Film and Television City has strong post-production capabilities, which Hengdian does not have!

Film and television post-production industry is a knowledge-intensive and creative-intensive industry that requires a large number of high-tech talents. Hengdian is a small town located in the middle of Zhijiang, not a talent highland, resulting in fewer film and television post-production companies and shortage of talents.

"China's film and television resources will inevitably be integrated in the future, forming two centers, one centered on the capital and the other will appear in the Yangtze River Delta region. The center of the Yangtze River Delta will become more commercial and become a new Oriental Hollywood."
