Chapter 493: The Wandering Earth Wraps Up: The First Year of Chinese Science Fiction Films
At the end of March, in the filming studio of "The Wandering Earth", as the last shot was completed, everyone on the scene had smiles on their faces.
"Thank you everyone for your hard work during this period. I'll treat you tonight..."
Su Yang shouted loudly, "Everyone has worked really hard during this period. The filming of "The Wandering Earth" was very hard, both for the actors and for the other staff."
The script, after Su Yang's revisions and optimizations, had a more grandiose scene, a deeper story, and, of course, higher standards. Whether it was the actors or other aspects, Su Yang demanded perfection.
Because this movie is the first hard science fiction blockbuster in the traditional sense of China. China has also had some science fiction movies in the past, but most of them are pseudo-science fiction in the guise of science fiction.
But The Wandering Earth is different. It is a true hard science fiction. At the same time, the investment in this film is relatively large and there are many investors.
This was not invested by Qingyao Media alone, but by several companies, and the film budget was as high as 1 billion RMB.
So from every perspective, this movie is an important milestone in Chinese science fiction films.
And Su Yang served as director and screenwriter. Now Su Yang is a golden signboard, not only in China, but also in the world. Su Yang's appeal is very strong.
Filming is finally complete. This means that The Wandering Earth has officially entered the large-scale post-production period.
If all goes well, the film will officially hit theaters this summer. The original plan was to release it around July 15th, capturing the prime time of the summer vacation.
Everyone is looking forward to this movie.
This is a sci-fi blockbuster filled with Chinese romance. In previous sci-fi films, the plot was always about something happening on Earth, and everyone boarded a spaceship to escape and travel into space. This trope is the most familiar and popular with Hollywood giants.
But The Wandering Earth is different. This time, when humans face a disaster, they no longer flee on their own, but wander and flee with the Earth and their homes. This is the Chinese-style doomsday romance, and it also expresses that in Chinese culture, home is the most inseparable thing.
"Director Su, I'll toast you a glass..."
In the box, the guests at Su Yang's table were mainly actors from the drama, and they all had common topics. One actor raised his glass and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll drink. We've been working together for so long, I'm sure you all know me a little bit. In the future, there may be many opportunities for us to cooperate with each other. Without saying anything else, I'll just say one thing. We must be worthy of our jobs. We are paid for our work, and as actors, we must do our jobs well. I believe that as long as we work hard, there will be rewards. We at Qingyao Media welcome you all at any time..."
Su Yang raised his glass, and this made all the actors smile knowingly.
After working with Su Yang for such a long time, they also understood Su Yang's style of doing things, and this style made everyone feel comfortable.
Because in Su Yang's crew, basically everything depends on ability. When it comes to actors, it doesn't mean that just because you are famous and have a lot of resources, you will get a role with more shots and the director will change the script and lines for you.
This is out of the question in Su Yang's crew, and as for being arrogant and showing off, forget it. Who dares to show off? There are no big names here. No matter how big a big name you are, you can't compare to Su Yang's family, the major shareholder of Qingyao Media, and no one has more capital than him.
Although favors are sometimes unavoidable, they are rare. On Su Yang's crew, although the work is hard, the mood is very relaxed. Because everyone has a feeling that as long as they work hard, Su Yang will not treat them unfairly.
And this is also true, Su Yang is very strict in the crew. Even for a very small role, a single shot, or even the performance of the group actors, he has very strict requirements.
It's true that the requirements are strict, but what Su Yang gives them is also enough. Being an extra here pays much more than being an extra outside.
And those stunt actors and martial artists like to be in the Qingyao Media crew the most, because in the Qingyao Media crew, they can find the feeling of being a human being.
Although the work is dangerous, the crew of Qingyao Media pays very well. Unlike some other crews, you risk your life but the crew members don't treat you as a human being at all.
"Director Su, if you need any help in the future, just let me know..."
Several actors laughed and said that after being in the industry for so long, they felt for the first time that it was actually quite good. Many were even considering switching to Qingyao Media.
The working atmosphere at Qingyao Media is much better than at my own company. There aren't so many unspoken rules, but more of a human touch.
"Brother Mo, I think Director Su is pretty good. Why are you so afraid of him? It seems like every time you see Director Su, you're like a cat seeing a mouse..."
Next to Qin Shumo, actor Zhao Mai couldn't help but ask curiously.
This time, the two played sisters in this play. Qin Shumo is two years older than Zhao Mai, so they have something in common.
During the time they were filming together, Zhao Mai noticed that Qin Shumo was very afraid of Su Yang on the set. Sometimes, Su Yang would just give Qin Shumo a look and he would do his best.
"Come on, stop praising me. Oh, you don't understand..."
Qin Shumo shook his head, looking mysterious. "Brother-in-law is a good man, yes. He is indeed a good man. But you haven't seen how he behaves when he's a bad guy."
Qin Shumo was a little afraid of Su Yang, and he didn't deny it at all. And now he was getting more and more afraid, especially when doing serious things. After all, Qin Shumo was young and not mature enough to handle some things.
Every time he did something wrong, Su Yang would naturally teach Qin Shumo what to do. Not to mention on the set. Everyone saw Qin Shumo's performance on the set, and everyone knew Qin Shumo's identity: Su Yang's brother-in-law and Qin Shuyao's younger brother.
But it is precisely because of this identity that Su Yang treats Qin Shumo strictly in the crew. This strictness is also the reason why Qin Shumo has made rapid progress since entering the circle.
But Qin Shumo never complained. What was there to complain about? All his resources were given to him by his brother-in-law. If it weren't for his status, the protagonist of The Wandering Earth would never have been able to get them.
Now, Qin Shumo doesn't have to worry about resources in the entertainment industry. Nor does he worry about being exploited by the company. Qin Shumo is already quite famous, but he never participates in commercial interactions, and doesn't even appear in many variety shows.
Normally, there is no excessive hype. The path planned for him by Su Yang and Qin Shuyao is to become a powerful actor. Now is the time to hone his acting skills while he is still young, so that he can truly become a powerful actor in the circle in the future and stay on this path for a longer time.
