Chapter 518: The First Episode of "The Three-Body Problem"

Zhang Mouzi thought about many scenes of communication between them.

I didn't expect it to be like this, Zhang Mouzi suddenly burst out laughing.

"It seems that it's hard for me to find an excuse."

"Huh?" Li Yun was puzzled. What excuse?

"You know, our special effects team for "The Great Wall" uses the latest technology from Industrial Light & Magic, and it will be applied to Cameron's blockbuster next year," Zhang Mouzi said slowly. This is also the most praised aspect of "The Great Wall" - special effects technology.

In a sense, "The Great Wall" is indeed the first in China in this regard. The ultimate visual effect it brings has an unparalleled effect.

The first domestic special effects blockbuster.

This is the achievement of the movie "The Great Wall". An unquestionable achievement that no one can take away.

Li Yun also said frankly that at least the visual effects of the movie "The Great Wall" looked very cool, which made Li Yun feel refreshed.

At least, the ticket price is worth it.

Very worthwhile.

"Aren't you looking for a special effects team recently? If you want to find one, then look for the best Chinese team from Industrial Light & Magic. They are in my hands. If you can afford the money, I will give them to you."

Zhang Mouzi said slowly.

It turns out that when he was working on the Sino-US co-production, he was also in contact with Industrial Light & Magic's special effects team in China, including outsourced teams and members of the team itself . Zhang Mouzi is really an old fox.

At times like this, everyone wants to make a profit for themselves. At this moment, Zhang Mouzi's expression was very complicated. If Li Yun had spoken rudely or even condescendingly just now, he could probably find a reason for himself, a reason not to talk about this matter.

But Li Yun didn't have that.

Even Zhang Mouzi couldn't convince himself.

The special effects team of Industrial Light & Magic. I contacted them myself, and paid a huge price and put in a lot of effort for my own ambitions.

But now, this achievement will be handed over to others.

Reluctant and unwilling.

But he still made this choice.

"Thank you." Li Yun said at this time.

If Zhang Mouzi is really so generous this time, it will be a great help. Even Li Yun couldn't have imagined it.

It turned out that Zhang Mouzi would come to his rescue.

"No need to thank me, you just have to be able to pay for it. This new technology is very expensive."

"Are you sure you can afford this price..."

"I'm sure that science fiction blockbusters don't have special effects, but it feels like something is missing," Li Yun said bluntly.

Sci-fi blockbuster.

A field that Hollywood has a monopoly on.

For a long time, the West has had the right to interpret science fiction . Western science fiction is the real science fiction.

Science fiction from other places is all pseudo-science fiction, it's all fake.

This is not because Westerners are hypocritical.

But the works that can truly be called science fiction are all from Westerners. That is why the West has this right.

courage.

Li Yun's courage.

It makes people admire it.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of courage of a young man to stick to his original aspirations that Zhang Mouzi feels that he seems to have become younger because of it. "I heard that you have a science fiction TV series in December. I hope that your science fiction TV series will not disappoint me. I don't want the team I worked so hard to get to be in tatters."

"Must"

At this time, Li Yun smiled slightly.

Next up is The Three-Body Problem.

It will be broadcast in this period in January.

Human nature is so complicated.

Li Yun himself did not expect that the special effects resources that he failed to get from Wang Chen could be obtained from Zhang Mouzi.

Although the price is indeed not cheap. Even if it is a purely Chinese outsourcing team, it is still twice as expensive as a first-class domestic special effects team.

That's the 'top' price.

Zhang Mouzi said that he would also watch the next "The Three-Body Problem".

Take a look at Li Yun's science fiction skills.

How far can we go when facing the work "Westworld".

At this time, Li Yun was very calm. The work "The Three-Body Problem" was of great significance to him.

It also has important significance for the birth of "The Wandering Earth".

We can put together a team to make "The Wandering Earth" and do it now.

"The Three-Body Problem" also has its own meaning of existence.

It can be considered the 'first step' into science fiction.

Announce to the world that Li Quan has taken the first step into science fiction.

"Are you ready? Our science fiction work, The Three-Body Problem, is about to be released."

At this moment, Li Yun looked at his own personality in the mirror.

He was equally calm, but he could hardly hide the excitement in his eyes.

If The Wandering Earth is the second installment.

Then The Three-Body Problem is the first one.

It's still a must-success shot.

"Have you ever thought about the efforts you are making now? If your Three-Body Problem fails, all your efforts will be in vain. All your efforts are just bubbles."

At this time, the personality next to him spoke leisurely, looking at Li Yun with interest.

This road is extremely difficult.

No matter how many times you watch it.

It's all very difficult.

The project of The Wandering Earth is a big production. The investment given by Li Yun is an amount of investment that has never been seen in China. Such a big production has never been carried out in China.

Even The Great Wall, a Sino-US co-produced commercial film, did not have such a huge amount of money.

There is no such huge investment.

This is the first time.

The birth of the TV series "The Three-Body Problem" was also surrounded by powerful enemies.

There is Westworld outside and Wesley inside. One is a long-standing hard science fiction, and the other is a soft science fiction of emotion and humanity.

Both have their merits, both have their mysteries and subtleties.

They are all hopelessly powerful.

And Li Yun actually chose to challenge Cameron.

The next work actually chose such a challenge.

Even Li Yun, the former wild boy and poor boy, knew what the name Cameron meant.

That is the top of the highest mountain in the world.

And you actually chose to fight against such a guy.

Why? At this time, Li Yun did not answer his personality.

Why.

Recalling that, it was Cameron's Avatar that opened the golden decade for Hollywood. During that decade, domestic films could not even sell for a penny.

It can be said that he is truly the top of the mountain.

The desperate top of a mountain that could usher in an era.

A legend that will go down in history.

But Li Yun was also thinking about it.

If you can conquer this mountain top.

Should I take his place?

Should the Chinese film industry have avoided that dark decade?

Right.

The meaning of "The Three-Body Problem" is very simple. If "The Three-Body Problem" fails, no one will believe that I can challenge Cameron. If I say so directly that my next project will be done during Cameron's schedule, I will definitely be regarded as a lunatic, an unreasonable madman.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

So you have to win.

Must win.

And win beautifully.

Let everyone know that they not only have the desire to challenge God, but also have the qualifications to challenge God.

At this moment, the promotion and publicity of The Three-Body Problem is also on the way.

After the pre-Q1 quarter of December, the new year has finally arrived.

Last year, the drama of the year was The Bad Kids at the end of the year, a small but powerful work.

A small story told in a small setting.

Won a lot of popularity.

After all, this is the king of dramas.

However, this drama king has no intention of stopping in the new year.

Instead, he gathered his strength and advanced bravely, launching two consecutive shots.

"He is very good at telling small-scale stories, especially digging into the inner world of characters and their surroundings. This may be related to his upbringing. He climbed up step by step from the bottom of society to his current position. It is easy to empathize with him. He has a unique advantage in narrating such topics."

"Whether it's The Crucible or Dying to Survive, these two purely his works are based on this."

At this moment, Ni Haishao, the chairman of the Science Fiction Association, was browsing Weibo in his office, looking at the upcoming schedule with great interest.

"Wesley" produced by Bayi Film Studio.

The Three-Body Problem by Li Quan.

There is also the blockbuster "Westworld".

One imported and two domestically produced.

The domestic product was once the pride of domestic production, the Bayi Film Studio, and is also the most anticipated domestic work in the Science Fiction Association.

Although it is soft science fiction, the original script does have a sense of wild imagination. What's more, Ni Haishao, a relative of Ni Kuang, is the president, so he is naturally given enough face. Moreover, the Bayi Film Studio is said to be the light of domestic science fiction, and it is not bragging. They are truly the enlightenment of domestic science fiction, not to mention "Westworld".

main course.

This work lies between hard science fiction and soft science fiction, telling the story of AI robots being trapped in the "Western Paradise" in the future, about freedom and the awakening of the true self.

It can be said that the sense of immersion in Westworld is the strongest. After all, AI technology really exists in the real world, not something made up, so it can be called between hard science fiction and soft science fiction . As for The Three-Body Problem.

Too little information, claiming to be hard science fiction Although Li Yun is now on the cusp of the trend, the previous year's "The Bad Kids" was the king of dramas, and his own popularity has reached an explosive point.

But in Ni Haishao's eyes, this is the work he least likes because it claims to be 'hard science fiction'.

"Hard science fiction. Can he do it?"

"This Li Yun is also a people's artist. His works are based on the general public and are liked by the people. Who do you think you are?" Pan Donghai next to him looked at Ni Haishao and rolled his eyes at him.

The president of the science fiction association seems a little arrogant.

But Ni Haishao still spoke with full rationality.

"It is because he is an artist who focuses on the general public that the idea of ​​him writing science fiction seems so far-fetched."

"President, I think you are a little too arrogant."

At this time, Pan Donghai, who has the best relationship with Ni Haishao in the Science Fiction Association and is a research expert in the aviation field who can take some time out of his busy schedule to watch TV, now has the smile gone from his face.

Now your arrogance is really unpleasant.

Ni Haishao, on the other hand, had a calm and objective look in his eyes.

Science fiction has always been an art form that ordinary people cannot understand.

He has a very high threshold.

Just look at the average educational level of science fiction associations.

I am embarrassed to tell others that I have a bachelor’s degree. Most of them have a master’s or doctoral degree and are high-level intellectuals.

He is the art of the minority.

The composition of the work "The Three-Body Problem" is very simple.

If he had focused on his artistic expression as before, he would probably have achieved good commercial results and perhaps even had some highlights.

But if he really goes in the direction of hard science fiction, it will only be a result that will not please both sides . This "Three-Body" will only have two directions in the end.

One is that the general public likes it, but the "science fiction fans" in science fiction associations sneer at it.

There is another type. It is liked by 'science fiction fans' of the Science Fiction Association, but its commercial performance is mediocre and it is not widely accepted. This is unlikely. After all, Li Yun does not look like someone who can write such a hard science fiction script.

Another possibility is that it is a work that satisfies both the general public and science fiction fans.

This kind of work.

It’s in my dream.

"Do you think we can stop Westworld this time?"

"I can stop it in my dreams."

"Then our work has to be stopped even if it cannot be stopped."

at this time.

To be honest, the three directors of "Wesley" are currently at the Bayi Film Studio, waiting for the coming of "judgment".

Li Liguo, Zhang Da Huzi, and Yu Mingsheng, three major TV drama producers in the industry, spent all their energy and attention to produce this work.

Although the three of them are "top-tier" in the industry, their directing and producing experience is richer than the works of others in their entire lives. They are truly talented and powerful people of their generation.

But they are always fighting among themselves. In civil war.

It was the first time that we faced foreign enemies head-on.

According to the August 1st Film Studio, they are the first and last line of the line. If they fail, the "king of dramas" next year will probably be suppressed by "Westworld". "Isn't there another "The Three-Body Problem" to "fight side by side with us?" Li Liguo said with a smile, "It's not like we are the only ones "going to die."

"Li Yun"

Yu Mingsheng sighed a little.

"It's amazing. Last year's drama king was actually his work that won the first prize. We are also lucky to be born in an era where heroes emerge in large numbers."

If Li Yun is given time to grow, he will surely become a legend with the Li circle. The TV series "The Three-Body Problem" has experienced a lot of rumors, from the subsidy fraud scandal to the current small-scale drama king "The Bad Kids". Today, "The Three-Body Problem" has experienced fewer rumors against the drama king of two years ago, although there are still many people who are prejudiced against domestic science fiction.

But we can still give Li Yun some trust.

If there were no "Westworld", "Wesley" and "The Three-Body Problem" would really seem to be the material for competing on the same stage.

With the heritage of Bayi Film Studio and the talent of Li Quan, can these two 'buds' of the science fiction world bloom?

Unfortunately, the towering tree of "Westworld" that had already grown ruthlessly crushed its tender buds.

It is useless (end of this chapter)
