Chapter 519, I want to challenge Cameron.

"The funding for his "Westworld" alone is enough to kill our "Wesley" and Li Yun's "The Three-Body Problem" combined." Zhang Da Huzi said helplessly.

Li Liguo next to him added.

“Let’s add “Dying to Survive”.”

Science fiction requires not only a good script, but also money.

This is an insurmountable gap. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. The difference in results caused by the difference in funding can really make people feel despair.

A feeling of despair that cannot be surpassed. With the script and cast already being top-notch, coupled with excellent funding, the resulting work is something that ordinary people cannot match.

Even if we consider the relationship between exchange rates and consumption, there is no way to bridge the gap.

At this moment, Yu Mingsheng was only thinking about how he, Wesley, could fight against "Westworld", and he didn't think much about Li Yun's work.

If Li Yun's work was soft science fiction, it would actually still be able to compete, but unfortunately, Li Yun's work is claimed to be hard science fiction.

It would be fine if they really claimed to be riding on the popularity.

It's incredible. If it's just to take advantage of the popularity of the hard shell, then it would be a good thing. If it's really just soft science fiction, then it still has some potential.

Soft science fiction focuses on humanity and the relationships between characters, and can be considered a subject that can survive in a small context, but hard science fiction, on the other hand, focuses on shaping the structure of the worldview.

The social logic and contradictions therein.

This is also the reason why Yu Mingsheng is the most pessimistic.

Because he really pays attention to hard science fiction works.

Because he really watches this kind of work, he had previously made a film disguised as a science fiction film called "Magic Phone".

It has some sci-fi touch, but it can't be called real sci-fi.

Because creating a world, a science fiction world, a world that exists in your fantasy, is definitely not as simple as using pale language. If you want to convince the audience, you must not only have a self-consistent worldview and system, rich plots and characters, but also the most intuitive visual effects.

Neither is indispensable.

Just like a peerless magical skill, both the external and internal skills must be extremely outstanding to exert its effect, which is why major circles in the country stay away from this subject.

You need both talent and wealth.

Only then can it support a science fiction work.

This is definitely not an easy thing to do.

Science fiction is indeed a genre that can gain popularity around the world regardless of language.

But talent, money and courage are all indispensable.

If any one of these elements is missing, you will end up losing all your money.

All the passion flowed eastward, but in the end it ended up in vain.

However, even if you have talent, money and courage, there are other options with better cost-effectiveness.

Generally speaking, people will not go into the field of science fiction and challenge the areas where others are good at.

Especially in the field of hard science fiction Yu Mingsheng feels that this time, it is a hard one.

It really is that "Wesley" is standing up to the might of "Westworld".

Will it win? No, but at least.

Don't lose so badly.

At least one of them can gain a little reputation among the audience and science fiction association.

Yes, the Science Fiction Association has a great say in the results of domestic science fiction works. If we were to say which domestic association has a greater say, the Science Fiction Association would undoubtedly be ranked first.

It represents the 'elite group' who like to watch this subject matter.

The "elite group" covers all science fiction themes and they represent the high-end group in China.

They are elites with purchasing power, influence, officials, businessmen, and senior scientific and technological personnel, each of whom has his or her own unique influence.

It can be said that this group of people is the highest-end movie-watching group in the country.

The common people are probably far from the art they can appreciate. There are ratings for the common people.

It is easy to win awards for the high-end groups represented by science fiction associations - especially in today's science fiction field. Although the country is poor and weak, the resources represented by this association make people very tempted!

However, Yu Mingsheng also knew what he was doing.

A soft science fiction that ordinary audiences can applaud.

Not bad.

At the Bayi Factory, in Liu Shanhe's office, Li Mo was chatting with the old factory director.

"Don't be so pessimistic when you lose."

"That being said, if we judge rationally, Westworld is amazing."

Liu Shanhe was silent for a moment and then said, "There is no chance of winning. The only chance is to bite off a piece of meat from them and let them not win so comfortably. What a pity, this is clearly the seedling stage of science fiction."

No matter how arrogant a person is, he would not think that his "Wesley" project this time can compete with "Westworld".

For Liu Shanhe, the project of "Wesley" was just a "germ".

A pioneering effort, the beginning of science fiction.

Nothing grows up all at once, but grows gradually, step by step, from a bud to a sapling, and then to a grown tree. It takes a process of growth, a process starting from 0, to catch up.

But it seems that time does not wait for them. When the buds were born, they faced works like "Westworld" and real ones, which were directly introduced to TV stations and broadcasted on TV stations. It seems that they were introduced too "quickly". For the industry, they expressed opposition to such rules, and even quite fiercely.

But Liu Shanhe knew that such a policy change was not aimless, nor was it a plan or change made on impulse.

Domestic science fiction had already "started" when he was young.

Moreover, national policies also restrict the entry of foreign works.

But in the past twenty years, what they got in return was that each circle reaped the benefits in its own field and suppressed the latter from a superior position in their own circle. They are experts in civil wars but novices in foreign wars.

The works that are exported are either those with "ulterior motives" that have achieved commercial success, and there are not many . Even now, the impression that overseas Chinese works have is still on the older generation of filmmakers such as "Chengshilong" and "Yuan Jinbao". There is no impression of new films and new filmmakers in the new era.

Now the Hong Kong circle is already weak and dying . There is no decent feedback from the mainland circle. Now that it has been fully liberalized, it is not the case that everyone seems to be facing a "disaster".

So, Liu Shanhe did not have any resentment.

You have plenty of time. If you fail to grow up during this time, you can't blame others.

"So that's why." At this time, Li Mo said softly: "A fair and just situation is itself a kind of unfairness."

So Liu Shanhe was also very calm.

This time, the fight between the 'sprouts' was disrupted by enemies from the sky.

Regret At this time, Li Modu said.

"In fact, I can give my son something to look forward to."

"Well, it's best if it's on par with my Wesley."

Liu Shanhe is confident about "Wei Sili". It would be best if the quality of "The Three-Body Problem" could be closer to "Wei Sili". If the sprout is not destroyed this time.

That would be great.

However, Li Modu closed his eyes at this time and did not continue speaking.

What he meant was not that they were equals—

But, transcend.... Really, can it be transcended?

At this moment, January.

This year has been defined.

On the Internet, this year is defined as the "year of science fiction."

Cameron's currently filming "Avatar" has been hyped before it was released. This work, which has an investment of 700 million US dollars, is only the first part.

"Avatar 2" was already launched before the film was released.

This is an unprecedented operation. The second part has been approved. Without knowing whether the first part will be completed, the investment has already been made for the second part.

The name Cameron is a guarantee. Starting from "Westworld" in January, the domestically produced "Wesley" and "The Three-Body Problem" seem to be just a running-in foil - yes, in the science fiction association, most people think that these two are just running-in foils.

It’s just that on the Internet, his popularity for these two domestic works is still quite strong.

In the camp of directors and producers of domestic films.

These are all 'superb'.

Li Yun's "The Three-Body Problem", Li Liguo, Zhang Da Huzi, and Yu Mingsheng's "Wesley".

In previous years, the broadcast of these top-notch programs at the beginning of the year would have been as joyful as the Chinese New Year.

Well, after January, it is indeed the time for the Chinese New Year. For movie and TV lovers, it is really like the Chinese New Year.

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

Even though there are fewer good dramas at the beginning of the year than in previous years, it’s still okay.

Several top-notch ones.

But this year's start.

There is also an enemy coming from the sky.

The situation suddenly became one of one superpower and many strong.

Many people also feel sorry for it.

Time really waits for no one. The Chinese entertainment industry has been given so much time to develop.

Apart from the top-notch ones, the rest are second- and third-rate.

"The polarization is really serious. Either you are the top-notch ones who dare to face challenges head-on, or you are the cowardly ones who just throw out the second- and third-rate scraps to get by."

At this moment, Wu Hai, as an ordinary audience, watching everything happening in front of him, couldn't help but sigh It's really hard to choose Among the three works.

For the general audience, they will probably go to watch "Westworld". The West must be stronger than China in the field of science fiction. "Wesley" and "The Three-Body Problem" were born at the wrong time.

Or, in other words, if it was born earlier.

How nice that would be.

Of course, ordinary audiences are very genuine, and Wu Hai also heard the feedback in the forum clearly and sincerely.

Li Yun in "The Bad Kids" is awesome.

Li Yun in "Dying to Survive" is also very awesome.

One superpower, many strong countries.

We choose Yichao's one Of course, for Wu Hai, "The Three-Body Problem" is just a work that he can support.

at this time.

Li Yun took some time off from his busy schedule to prepare for the upcoming "The Three-Body Problem".

The publicity and promotion was not lukewarm, and with the endorsement of the excellent previous works, the popularity also soared.

Li Quan's third work.

but.

Li Yun also realized that his popularity was only in the field of "domestic products", where he had his own status and popularity.

If it were really put together with "Westworld".

Most people would choose foreign works.

This is a kind of reality.

Li Yun felt a little bit amused. Theoretically speaking, even if there was no "Westworld" this time, the planning of those domestic dramas would also be weak. The second consecutive bombing of the drama king.

There is also the strong planning of Bayi Factory.

Others also backed off when they saw this lineup. "You know what? People in the industry are now saying you're gloating over someone else's misfortune. They're afraid of you and they're jealous of you."

Li Yuxuan took a sip of the light tea at this time.

I remember that the last time I came to Li Yun’s house, I drank bad tea. This time, I brought good tea from home.

"They are afraid of me, but they also hope that Western works can destroy me. Of course, I see it clearly."

Li Yun smiled and said, "It's not just me. The works of Bayi Film Studio also receive the same treatment."

The Bayi Film Studio represents the public works of the national system, and it is equally powerful. "Yes, their works are also treated in this way."

At this moment, Li Yuxuan said with a sigh.

"It's a pity. If Westworld had come out a little later, it would have been a real feast for domestic science fiction."

Li Yuxuan had no doubt about the works of Li Yun and Bayi Film Studio and firmly believed in the quality of these two works.

The pity is that there is no room for growth . This is the most regrettable part.

The investment amount of "Westworld" seems to be a number that can make people despair. A number that makes people unable to have any resistance at all.

Is this really the data that can be projected from a TV series?

Unbelievable, it's really too perverted.

All I can feel is this despairing gap.

People are willing to invest the money in it.

This nonchalant attitude also makes people feel overwhelmed.

This kind of funding is really hopeless. At this time, Li Yun was drinking the good tea that Li Yuxuan brought slowly.

Good tea.

Gentle and noble.

"So uncle, should I despair?"

"That's not the case"

In fact, Li Yuxuan wanted to comfort Li Yun in advance.

Li Yun is now at the peak of his career.

He has become the Optimus Prime of the Chinese film and television industry.

But the more powerful and brave the position is, the more stable it feels.

Got to hold steady.

You have to cultivate your mentality. Li Yuxuan feels that the more talented one is, the more arrogant one is.

The easier it is to fall into despair.

But at this moment, Li Yun was smiling excitedly.

"Isn't this great? When Westworld is also lost to me, people won't think I'm crazy when they hear that I want to challenge Cameron."

At this moment, Li Yuxuan seemed to wonder if he had heard something wrong.

"You want to challenge Cameron?!"
