The reason why I withdraw from "Jiaozhi" was not only because I was scolded a little scared, but most importantly, they estimated the return on investment ratio and thought it was unreliable...

"Jade Trace" trilogy, Guo Jingming plans to create all CGs. Such a type of film is not only huge investment, but also a niche film...

The most important thing is Guo Jingming prepared an All-Star lineup.

Initial investment is at least 1 billion!

Zheng Zihao hesitated for a moment, then called Zhang Junsheng to ask, who directly dissuaded:

"Pure CG movies - "Polar Express", "Beowulf", and "Christmas Carol" are all thankless in Hollywood. Guo Jingming wants to make a breakthrough in genre, but he does not have enough research on genres."

"On the other hand, "Jade" is a bit contrary to the production method of genre films. It is rare to use stars on such a large scale in North America. In fact, in addition to "The Founding of a Country", other movies rarely use this type of model in China. It is precisely because the film company lacks confidence in this kind of experimental movie that many celebrities have to support the scene. Simply doing a commercial calculation is to accumulate fans."

"A movie like "Juzhi" is particularly industrialized, and it is not very suitable for directors like Guo Jingming to try it!"

"Guo Jingming wants to try OK himself, so do the producers and investors clearly realize the risks? What is this type like in Hollywood? How much will they spend? How long will it take? Without these investigations and cognition, just Guo Jingming and the faces of a few big stars, they will be released in a hurry, and the results can be predicted!"

"I still recommend that you not invest. From "Tiny Times", we can see that there are only a few people who are willing to buy Guo Jingming's account. I don't think I can get it back if I invest 1 billion yuan!"

Then, Wanda entered the game...

Zhang Junsheng looked at Tang Ningyu a little strangely: "Borrow Hunter? The Korean restriction order has not been issued yet?"

"The latest news is probably September!"

Liu Sisi spoke again: "I know the Korean restriction order because of the Hard system!"

Zhang Junsheng was speechless: "…Haha, baby, continue to play "Glory of Kings"..."

...

The Korean restriction order has spread and there are many comments on the Internet.

Many people say "there is no idol in front of the country", and some people follow "there is no parents in front of the country"...

I don’t understand why anyone holds the latter view: idols can come to China to make money, but if you are a little sorry for my motherland, I can step on you if I can support you.

If you can't stand this, why do you still be an idol?

Looking at the young actresses and young actors who have been criticized in China, I think I am still relatively restrained when dealing with foreign idols.

The meaning of this sentence is: in matters involving national interests and national image, the country and idols stand opposite each other, giving up the small and taking the big one.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds...

Every country in the world has boycotts China and Chinese culture. Why can’t we boycott them?

Needless to say, Japan and South Korea, Indonesian massacre, anti-Chinese incident, Philippine monkeys, India, the United States, France robbed the torch...

What's wrong with boycotting?

If you protest solemnly, you will say that the country is cowardly and incompetent;

Take action to hit other countries economically. You also say that the country is stingy and conservative;

I have no brains and have to look forward to the war, and then who knows how many traitors will come out...

Sometimes I really sympathize with the upper-level leaders, and the national quality is worrying...

In the past, whether it was Korean singers, actors, or money-making, Lee Min Ho had been on the Spring Festival Gala, and the country had not interfered with anything...

Now, because of what South Korea does, I don’t know much about what it is, THAAD base, the congressman of the parliamentarians insult China, the Great Wall...

But the THAAD plan really threatens China's interests, and South Korea ignores opposition, so we can't shrink any longer. Of course we have to counterattack!

...

On June 23, Zhang Junsheng, Liu Cixin and Guo Fan attended a Weibo movie interview.

The host was probably a fan of Liu, so he pulled him to ask a bunch of questions: "Why do you want to create science fiction novels?"

"The motivation for writing science fiction is actually just to find something for yourself, because when you first started working, you would often be dragged to play mahjong by your colleagues, and then one day you lost a month's salary one night, and just to quit mahjong, you started writing science fiction novels."

“What are the effects?”

"Influenced by "1984", the two first works "China 2185" and "Supernova Era" were actually political fables similar to "1984" that were covered with the outer skin of science fiction novels, and they were definitely not able to be published in the environment at that time."

"The Wandering Earth is actually a series. This series mainly talks about how humans save themselves when they are facing the solar catastrophe. I originally planned to write a few more series. After writing "The Wandering Earth" and "Micro Era", I then conceived that when humans could not escape and only got a monument for themselves on Pluto, I found that this idea had been written by my predecessors, so I lost all my interest and gave up this series. Later, this idea was used in "The Three-Body Problem".

"When it comes to "The Three-Body Problem", Director Zhang, I heard that Yuehua bought the adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem". Is there any plan to create it?"

Zhang Junsheng thought for a while: "It's a bit difficult. The time is not very mature yet. The display of high-dimensional and low-dimensional spaces, the communication methods of three-body people, etc. These things may have exceeded the scope of movies and need to rely on scientific progress... I have talked to Guo Fan before. If you want to adapt a movie, it's best to abandon this part of the content, because it's difficult for you to show these things in a convincing way based on the existing scientific level, but if you remove them, it's not "Three-body", so it's very entangled!"

"Then why did you choose director Guo Fan?"

"In fact, when we make science fiction movies in China, our conditions are mature, and what we lack is only sentimental people. Director Guo Fan is one of the most sentimental people I know. After "You, Deskmate", a bunch of people asked him to make movies, but he refused... For a full five years, from scratch, the entire Wandering Earth Base was built by him!"

"I heard that the investment in "The Wandering Earth" reached 3 billion? Is it true?"

After looking at Guo Fan, Zhang Junsheng replied: "...It's almost the same, but Yuehua only invested half of it, and the other half was invested in the film and television base."

"Are you afraid of not being able to recover the cost?"

"…When the project of "Georgement" was launched, they also asked me, aren't you afraid of not being able to recover the cost? What's the result? Making a movie itself is an adventure, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many film companies going bankrupt, but there must be someone doing it, and we are willing to be the leader!"

"Then how did you meet Teacher Liu Cixin?"

Zhang Junsheng looked at Da Liu and decided to do something big: "I like traditional literati like Da Liu very much. It's very comfortable to chat with him. He is also a very interesting and low-key engineer in his life. He is especially good at drinking. Although he is very shy during the interview, he is actually very good at talking. The first time I met Da Liu, we talked about "2001 Space Odyssey", "Avatar", and then came to an unanimous agreement: "Avatar"'s imagination is too weak!"

"Do you think Avatar is not imaginative?"

"Of course, the positioning of commercial films can only make the director and screenwriter dance with shackles. If you focus too much on creating a world different from the earth, the film will inevitably neglect the explanation of the background settings due to time constraints, which will make the whole movie difficult to understand, and the audience will be confused."
