Chapter 13 The night of planning the comet shoot
"That Night of the Comet" is undoubtedly an excellent low-cost science fiction suspense movie, but the core is not the parallel world shown in the movie, but human nature, such as jealousy, suspicion, fear, selfishness, and life choices.
This story tells that a comet came to the earth, and parallel time and space merged in a house. Four groups of lovers happened to have a party in this house. Because of the power outage, some of the eight of them kept going out and some coming in. Those who went out may have entered another parallel.
In a house in time and space, the person coming in may be someone from a parallel time and space.
Interspersed with some necessary introductions to physics knowledge, such as Schrödinger's cat, parallel time and space theory, quantum science, etc., suspicion arose among the eight people, and killing and destruction also occurred. Then there was the ultimate doubt: How can we prove that I am who I am?
, how to prove our own existence. Don’t get me wrong, this is not for you to prove that your mother is your mother.
The filming of the movie is actually not complicated. In the first shooting, eight people were chatting in a room. In the second shooting, some changes were made to the props in the room and the details on the actors, and the chat topics also changed. The third time...
…
As for the appearance of two "Is" in the same time and space at the end, that is to intensify the shock effect, and the heroine discovers that she must make a decision before she can return to the world she is familiar with.
Everything else that I can’t remember can be rewritten. Anyway, as long as the main plot remains unchanged, there are many things that can be changed. In short, the important thing about this movie is creativity, and the filming is not difficult. The original director only spent 50,000 US dollars.
It took 5 nights to take the photo, which is evident from this.
This movie, which has been called a brain-burning masterpiece, is somewhat over-praised. Otherwise, the director who made this movie should have been given a lot of opportunities. The fact is very cruel. After this movie, I haven’t seen this director direct a commercial blockbuster, and he seems to have disappeared from everyone.
The box office of "Comet" is casual. It's enough that it can go to theaters. This low-cost movie is a way for him to show off his coolness. He really wants to know whether the Chinese people will praise the low-cost brain-burning science fiction suspense movie made by his own people.
.
Qu Li's scenes have been filmed long ago. In the remaining time, the screenwriter of "Stone" worked with Qu Li to perfect the script. Ning Hao was also finishing the work. In order to make the script more convincing, he specifically contacted Chen Ke.
I asked him to help me contact the physics and psychology teachers of Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
Physics teachers mainly plug logical loopholes, while psychology teachers mainly understand how characters' status and choices may change under special circumstances.
Qu Li mainly writes stories, and Yue Jun and Ning Hao's wife are real screenwriters. They came to Chengdu with a bunch of gifts and contacted Chen Ke. They had an afternoon.
"The two teachers are already waiting for you in the office. Come this way." Chen Ke greeted Qu Li when he saw him.
"Well, thank you very much. This is for you." Qu Li handed the bag in his hand to his brother-in-law, and then took out an envelope with two thousand in it.
"I don't want it." Chen Ke took the bag and refused the envelope.
"Just take it if you want. I feel like men who have no money. I can't help you much. If you need money, go to your sister. If you can't get the scholarship, don't go to Yangcheng next summer." Qu Li held a carrot in each hand.
Big stick, I don’t know if these words are useful to my brother-in-law. Qu Li doesn’t understand the world of academic masters.
"Okay!" Chen Ke nodded fiercely and studied hard.
The communication with the two associate professors was pleasant, and they learned a lot of scientific knowledge, and the brainstorming also produced a lot of inspiration. As for whether it is useful or how useful it is, I don’t know. If a large production crew can still hire
A few consultants, they are not and do not have that much money.
Qu Li's trip was not only to perfect the script for his own movie, but also to help Chen Ke open up a social circle at school. Even Zhang, the boss of Douyin, needs to help his classmates and friends fix their computers. A simple otaku who doesn't care about them is
useless.
After the exchange, the three of them drove back to Chongqing to continue writing the script.
"Brother Zheng, can you do me a favor?" Qu Li invited one by one while the main actors were not leaving. When "Stone" is released, and with fame, maybe "Comet" will do better at the box office.
"Say." Although Xu Guangtou is not optimistic about Qu Li's professionalism, his connections are unmatched. A writer who was born as an orphan can actually invite the boss of Huayi. It's amazing!
"Well, I have a sci-fi suspense movie that will take about a week. I wonder if I have time?"
"A sci-fi suspense movie, one week?" Bald Xu couldn't believe it
"This is a low-budget film that relies on concept to win. I went to Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology to consult their professors about the script. It's not a big problem. If there are problems that I can't solve, Ning Hao will help me."
"Am I a main actor or a supporting actor? Is there a script?"
"The script is still being created by Sister Xing Na and Yue Jun. Because of the way the filming is done, there is no need for you to know the entire script. In fact, if the actors are strong, many scenes can be played freely under the background we have set."
"Please tell me carefully." Xu Zheng actually didn't want to take it, but considering that Ning Hao was willing to help, this script didn't seem to be without merit.
"There is a comet passing through the earth and affecting a certain area. Many parallel times and spaces meet here. Four couples and friends are gathering in house A, but there are many identical houses outside this house. It can be considered as house B.
, Buildings C, D, F, and G. Each house has four couples in parallel time and space. Because there was a power outage in the room, they went out to explore, which caused chaos, suspicion, and fear..."
"This story is quite interesting." Xu Zheng seemed to understand.
"How about calling Madam-in-law here to help?"
"Haha, it turns out that neither you nor Ning Hao's target is me!"
"How can that be possible? I've never met Mrs. Sister-in-law, but I'm always kissing you."
"You'd better give me a script, otherwise it will be difficult to convince her."
"Then we'll have to wait, but it'll be soon."
"Okay, I'll take a look at the script once it's ready."
After being frustrated by Xu Zheng, he found comfort in Bo Ge. He also made an appointment with Lan Fengsha to go to Yangcheng to rehearse "Xian'er" and "Night Sky" after the Spring Festival. These two excellent pieces of music rekindled his dream of music.
"I think your invitation method was wrong." Huang Bo said about Xu Zheng.
"What's wrong?"
"Xu Zheng joined "Stone" for free, and you still want him to join "Comet" for free?"
"Here, I just want to make this movie. I don't think about remuneration or making money."
"But everyone needs to live!" Huang Bo said that everyone in the "Stone" crew received very low salaries. Although there were many reasons for participating, love was indispensable.
"The total cost of this movie does not exceed 500,000. Do we need drama actors?"
"It's not impossible for a drama actor to perform in the same house."
"But then there will be no hope at the box office. Let me think about it." Qu Li quickly thought about how to deal with this unfair distribution of interests. The best way is to turn everyone into a community of interests.
"Brother Hao, why don't we jointly set up a film company!" Qu Li found Ning Hao before the film was completed.
"Why?"
"The way I think about it is that "Comet" is the first project produced by this film company, and everyone will share the money earned."
"is it necessary?"
"I think this way, if "The Stone", then our group will become famous. When "Comet" is released while taking advantage of the popularity, the box office should be good. The money they didn't make in "The Stone" can be used in "The Stone".
Comet" earned."
"If "The Stone" fails at the box office, this movie may be cannon fodder, but the cost is not high, so our losses will not be big."
"Once you make money, if you want to make movies in the future, you can cooperate with Huayi through this independent film studio. I believe you will have greater freedom."
Qu Li talked eloquently and talked nonsense. He was more like an adult than Ning Hao and understood business better.
"It won't be troublesome to set up a film company, right?"
"I inquired about the special support policies in Hengdian, and there are tax incentives. It seems to be exempted from corporate income tax for three years."
"Then give it a try?" Ning Hao was a little moved by Qu Li's words. He returned to the dormitory, and together with Xing Na, he thought it was okay. So in the future, a famous film company was established.
After the filming of "Stone" was completed, Ning Hao personally persuaded Xu Zheng, and Ning Hao became the producer of the "Comet" project, with Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and Sun Honglei. The one who asked Ning Hao to wait for him for two months before filming "Comet"
King Yan of "Stone".
