"The Wandering Earth" has been approved, and China Film, Penguin Pictures, Light Pictures, DreamWorks Studios and Bona Films jointly participated in the investment and production.In terms of special effects, it will be led by the top domestic special effects studio, Industrial Light & Magic, and other domestic special effects studios will assist in the work.After two collaborations with the digital field, Li He tapped a Chinese special effects director named Thales Yang, whose Chinese name is Yang Anrong, and he brought a team with him when he jumped ship, which greatly enhanced the strength of Industrial Light and Magic.Guo Fan and Da Liu, the author of "The Wandering Earth", are very grateful to Li He for everything they have done for this project, and communicate with Li He at any time about the project.Guo Fan felt that his ability was not enough to control such a huge crew, so he found Li He and took the initiative to ask to be Li He's assistant director and study for a while.Li He was deeply surprised, no wonder Guo Fan was able to do a good job in the project "The Wandering Earth" in his previous life, and achieved a box office of 4.6 billion, starting a new journey of domestic science fiction movies, and then being destroyed by a fortress.Guo Fanneng did not despise Li He because of his age, but had the spirit of putting the achiever first, which made Li He feel very moved.With such a director and such a learning spirit, even without "The Wandering Earth", Guo Fan can become famous.The original author and screenwriter Da Liu also communicated with Li He about the script from time to time, and Li He also discussed carefully with Da Liu very seriously.Guo Fan asked Li He about the choice of actors, and Li He recommended Wu Jing to him, and Wu Jing readily agreed.Of course, "The Wandering Earth" will no longer choose Qu Chuxiao, at the suggestion of Li He, Guo Fan seriously considered Liu Haoran, Zhang Yishan and several other young actors.Sister Jinmai has entered Guo Fan's sight as always, presumably this popular girl will continue to win the role of Han Duoduo.But the most important thing now is that Li He's new film "The Martian" is coming.As the first installment of the DreamWorks space trilogy, fans have a lot of interest in it.On Penguin Video, the first trailer of "The Martian" has exceeded 10 million views, and the barrage is full of voices begging for tickets and premieres.More than 10 million people have already labeled it on Douban, and there are countless questions on Zhihu about what "The Martian" means for Chinese science fiction movies.It is said that Ma Yongxin, the helmsman of the Penguin Group, attaches great importance to this project, and personally tells Cheng Zhiwen to do a good job in this project.It just so happens that this year is the "League of Legends" S4 World Finals, and Penguin Esports and "The Martian" have linked up to launch the activity of watching the game and giving away movie tickets, which is also in full swing.Nowadays, the main force of watching e-sports competitions is mainly young people, and young people are the main force of watching movies, so this kind of publicity can be said to be a win-win situation.The light side launched their offline promotion channel advantages, and advertisements were arranged in stations, subways, commercial blocks, etc. in major cities, and advertisements were also placed on TV.With such a huge publicity, as long as you are not isolated from the world, you must have seen the propaganda of "The Martian".In the Internet era, in the era of big data, it is impossible to escape this propaganda network, in short, the laborious publicity of Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures has achieved good results, and I believe that "The Martian" will definitely achieve a good box office.But in the end, it depends on the quality of the film, after all, because of the excessive publicity, the audience's expectations are too high, but there are not a few films whose quality is not up to par.For example, in his previous life, Chen Scumbag and his "Detective Chinatown 3", because of the good word-of-mouth foundation laid by the previous two series of works, coupled with overwhelming publicity, finally made the box office of "Detective Chinatown 3" exceed one billion at the premiere, breaking countless records.But because the quality of the film is really average, the box office fell very quickly, and soon gave up the top position, allowing Jia Ling's "Hello, Li Huanying" to be the latecomer.Although the film eventually achieved a box office of 4.5 billion, it managed to rank fifth on the box office charts, which can be described as a great success from a commercial point of view.But in the long run, the film, which disappointed audiences, largely cut off the future of the series.Coupled with Chen Scumbag's personal problems and the blows of competitors, it is difficult to protect the financier Wanda Pictures itself, and by the time Li He crossed the rebirth, Chen Scumbag was no longer in the circle.Therefore, the quality of Li He's "The Martian" must be passed, if the box office reputation fails, Li He is estimated to be silent for a while, and at that time, Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures will definitely ask Warner Pictures to take over the project of "Batman".Fortunately, Li He is very confident in his film, and in addition to filming, he often pays attention to the publicity and distribution of "The Martian", and communicates with Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures in time for some issues.At the end of November, Li He, who ended the situation of no harvest at the Golden Horse Awards, returned to Beijing to participate in the three rounds of test screenings held by Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures.This preview screening will be attended by representatives from the theater, media representatives and a few lucky fans, and the three rounds of test screenings will be full of word-of-mouth.Not to mention the excitement and excitement of fans, representatives of the theater chain have promised to release this unprecedented sci-fi blockbuster with the largest number of theaters and the largest number of screens.The media is also full of praise, the well-known Li Chui, and the film critic Qian Liaofu praised the film in his column."
I think this film is a landmark film that has never been seen in the history of Chinese cinema.""
Then you mean that Source Code is not a landmark Chinese science fiction movie?""
No, no, no, of course Source Code is good, but Source Code is more of a sci-fi concept, essentially an action thriller.But "The Martian" is different, and if you look for an adjective, I think maybe the term industrial science fiction is more appropriate. ”"Why do you say that?""
Because it is a representative of the film industry, we often say the film industry, many people don't understand what the concept of the film industry is, just watch "The Martian" and understand.""
Then do you recommend that the audience watch this film?"
Qian Liaofu glanced at the host, I praised so much before, can I say I don't recommend it now?"
Of course I will recommend, and it is highly recommended, everyone must go into the cinema to watch this Chinese science fiction epic ......"
This column has attracted the attention of fans, and it is really made curiosity surge, interested fans are frantically looking for all the information about "The Martian", and there are not a few people who have watched the trailer dozens of times.In short, fans' expectations for "The Martian" have reached a very high level.The only problem now is that the release date of the film has not yet been announced, and fans are very keen to know exactly when "The Martian" will be released......
