Chapter 526 We Chinese Do Not Accept Fate (asking for monthly votes)
Su Qing is not only Yu Xiaoshu's ex-girlfriend, she is also the most popular V-lister on Douhu. At the same time, she is not only the most popular V-lister on Douhu, she is also a science fiction enthusiast.
That's right.
Su Qing is a science fiction fan, and not just any science fiction fan, she is a science fiction geek.
And she is not just a simple science fiction fan. On the contrary, Su Qing really has a passion for science fiction.
When Su Qing first learned that Yu Xiaoshu was going to shoot a science fiction movie, she actually had no hope.
The reason is actually very simple.
Su Qing thought she understood Yu Xiaoshu. She believed that Yu Xiaoshu was not good at science fiction. At that time, Su Qing wanted to persuade Yu Xiaoshu. She was really worried that Yu Xiaoshu would be provoked by others and then insist on making a blockbuster.
As a result, when Su Qing read Yu Xiaoshu's script for "The Wandering Earth" and listened to some of Yu Xiaoshu's analysis and ambitions, Su Qing felt that it might be possible.
"I wanted to lay a solid foundation for this film, The Wandering Earth. I hope that China can catch up with Hollywood and that our future blockbusters can be industrialized."
This is what Yu Xiaoshu said to Su Qing at the beginning.
However, Su Qing didn't actually understand the meaning of this sentence at that time. She only knew that for a movie that focuses on effects, post-production is sometimes the top priority.
After all, Su Qing has a father who is a director, so she knows clearly how huge the post-production of "The Wandering Earth" is.
You have to know that in post-production, editing is of course necessary. If a movie is not edited well, it can be edited into two movies.
In addition, there are visual effects production, composition, mixing, color grading, and even dubbing by actors.
These need someone to shoulder the responsibility.
Su Qing believes in Yu Xiaoshu's ability, but as a large-scale production that emphasizes efficiency and has extremely high requirements, it requires a lot of talent matching. Can Yu Xiaoshu do it?
The outside world's discussion about "The Wandering Earth" all revolves around the fact that the director is a novice, the actors are box office poison, there are newcomers, and there are outdated actors. When these are combined, the outside world certainly does not believe in "The Wandering Earth".
But Su Qing is not like that. Her biggest concern about the movie "The Wandering Earth" is whether it can really be achieved as Yu Xiaoshu said before. When she arrived at the preview, Su Qing was indeed a little worried.
However, after she watched "The Wandering Earth", she no longer had any worries.
That's right.
At this moment, Su Qing really had no worries.
Yu Xiaoshu did it in the movie "The Wandering Earth".
"I don't know if the box office can reach 4 billion, but I believe this movie will definitely make everyone like science fiction movies during the Spring Festival."
Su Qing said to Yu Xiaoshu with a smile.
Yu Xiaoshu nodded and said, "This is what I was thinking. After all, no one is making science fiction movies nowadays. Someone has to make this subject and explore it."
Su Qing suddenly said, "That's not right. Why isn't anyone making science fiction movies? Isn't Bai Susu making one???"
"You want me to tell the truth???"
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Su Qing and shook his head slightly.
Su Qing laughed: "Of course I hope you tell the truth."
"Bai Su Su has already considered everything from a Western perspective. I haven't watched the apocalyptic movie she made, but just by watching the trailer, I can understand the core of her movie."
Yu Xiaoshu said disapprovingly: "She is still too naive."
They have been brainwashed by the West, and have let the West define what is right and what is wrong, and they have even accepted it all. Not only that, they have also turned around and said that the East is wrong and outdated.
With this attitude, do you believe she can write any good science fiction?
Of course, she might be able to write good science fiction, but to be honest, the good science fiction she writes will probably only be praised by the West.
Yu Xiaoshu firmly believed this.
Su Qing looked at Yu Xiaoshu and said, "You really don't like Bai Su Su???"
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Su Qing and asked, "What do you think???"
Su Qing didn't know.
Because she recognized Bai Suzhen's abilities, the two of them actually had a pretty good relationship. Although Su Qing didn't know how to write scripts, she could still tell whether a script was good or not.
In fact, this time, Su Qing had read Bai Suzhen's script, and she thought there was no problem with the script.
Yes.
Su Qing thought that there was nothing wrong with Bai Suzhen's script, and she even thought that a movie based on this script might achieve good results.
kindness.
This was a disagreement that Su Qing and Yu Xiaoshu discussed.
Su Qing felt that it was possible that Yu Xiaoshu had misunderstood Bai Suzhen too deeply?
Su Qing also criticized the drama "My Grandma".
But she felt that Bai Suzhen had corrected herself, and she had indeed corrected herself.
In this case, Bai Suzhen's new movie "Rescue in the End of the World" may be able to achieve good results.
Of course, Su Qing originally wanted to have a good chat with Yu Xiaoshu. At this time, Yu Xiaoshu's phone rang. He answered it and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll come right over."
"I'm going to be busy. If you're free tonight, we can talk over dinner."
Yu Xiaoshu stood up and said.
"Okay, go get busy."
Su Qing waved his hand.
As the screenwriter and post-production director of "The Wandering Earth", Yu Xiaoshu must of course accept an interview at this time.
This time the interview was not an exclusive interview with Xiang Fei. On the contrary, Yu Xiaoshu invited several editors-in-chief of film magazines and film critics.
Everyone can speak freely.
What Yu Xiaoshu wants is not the so-called "money-making" film reviews or "money-making" publicity, which are meaningless.
What he wants is for everyone to sincerely contribute to science fiction movies and do their best.
"Teacher Yu, can you briefly talk about your original intention for creating this movie, that is, your thoughts when you wrote the script?"
Zhong Fei, the editor-in-chief of "See Movies" magazine, asked first.
To be honest, the first thing he felt after watching the movie "The Wandering Earth" was shock.
This movie is amazing.
Previous science fiction movies were often set in the future or even a parallel world. The most important thing was that the description of people in those science fiction movies was insufficient, so the audience felt unfamiliar with many words.
Therefore, science fiction movies are prone to flop.
Later, the producers and investors got smarter and thought that since the audience for science fiction movies was not large enough, could I just buy an IP???
That's right.
Many capitals and film and television companies eventually bought science fiction IPs, and the copyrights of several famous science fiction novels were eventually sold.
As a result, no matter how famous the IP was, the science fiction movies made out of it all flopped.
The fact that Yu Xiaoshu and Bai Susu dared to make a science fiction movie is worthy of respect in itself.
For five years, or to be more precise, five years and four months, there have been no science fiction films produced in China.
Let’s not even talk about successful science fiction movies, there aren’t even any sci-fi movies that have failed.
As a fan of science fiction films and a screenwriter for a well-known film magazine in the industry, Zhong Fei certainly hopes that the film market will flourish.
But the problem is that the current situation is that a hundred flowers cannot bloom. From a market perspective, all movies will avoid risks.
In the past, people still had a little bit of so-called innovation, thinking about creating trends and leading trends.
But it's different now.
Now everyone is doing what is stable.
We film whatever makes money.
Science fiction movies are such a flop, who dares to touch them?
For this reason, everyone is still looking forward to this year's Lunar New Year movie, whether it's Zhong Fei, Zhou Yi, or others.
Bai Suzhen has made a science fiction movie, and the trailer looks pretty good.
Yu Xiaoshu made a science fiction movie. No, it should be said that he wrote the script and Yang Fei filmed it. After the preview today, it's not just good, it's quite good.
For this reason, Zhong Fei was eager to hear what Yu Xiaoshu had to say.
"In fact, the original intention of creating the film is simple. I hope everyone will watch Chinese science fiction films. Nowadays, science fiction films have been controlled by foreign countries. Our domestic science fiction films are either not large enough or have too little influence. It can be said that China must not be absent from science fiction films anymore, so I want to create a science fiction film with Chinese characteristics."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "This is my original intention."
kindness.
This original intention is indeed very positive.
But Zhong Fei felt it was a bit fake and empty.
He asked again: "So, Mr. Yu, what do you think are the advantages of this movie?"
"Advantage??"
Yu Xiaoshu thought for a moment and said, "If I have to say an advantage, it's that I didn't write the script around the word 'science fiction'."
Then Yu Xiaoshu told a story.
For him, this story was not really told by him, but by the screenwriter he had read before.
The Wandering Earth actually tells the story of small people. For example, Han Ziang was a construction worker at the beginning. He especially liked to eat his lover's scallion oil noodles because he met his lover while eating scallion oil noodles.
At the same time, when he was rushing towards the center of the capital, he said: "I built this building."
Behind this line, a civilian hero stood up.
The Chinese have always said that kings, princes, generals and ministers are not born with any kind of blood.
It is said that this plot was proposed by Gong Geer, but it was later deleted.
But Yu Xiaoshu also wrote him into the script when he was writing it.
This is the Chinese tradition.
Small people can also do big things.
We Chinese have never accepted our fate.
To borrow a line from a middle school drama, it says: My fate is in my own hands.
Just like at the last moment, when people in other countries have given up and even committed suicide, only we Chinese are still trying to find a solution.
Let the movie show more Chinese elements.
This is what makes the movie unique.
What Yu Xiaoshu needs to do is to carry this characteristic through to the end.
The same thing.
What belongs to the nation belongs to the world.
The world should not be defined only by Westerners.
