Chapter 998

Lin Xiao is planning to make a science fiction film again, and this time it is a real hard science fiction film.

After the previous "Terminator" and "Robot Love", many companies followed suit and made some "sci-fi films", but the results were not so good!

Many sci-fi fans in Huaguo have been waiting for a long time, and now, Lin Xiao is finally going to start with sci-fi films again, and this time he wrote, directed and acted himself.

Enough gimmicks, enough strength, naturally gave everyone enough expectations.

Looking at Lin Xiao's films, in fact, there are not too many real blockbusters.

Strictly speaking, "Once Upon a Time" series is not considered a major production, but "Terminator" is.

As for the other films that followed, there really wasn't anything really big enough to make it into a big production.

Well now, the 2 million investment in "The Martian" is definitely considered a big production. Even if it doesn't really reach [-] million, at least half of it will be [-] million. In Huaguo, it is definitely considered a big production. .

In fact, although "The Martian" is said to be a hard-core sci-fi, in fact, there are not many scenes involved. This kind of film is a one-man show. Of course, 4 million is called out. In fact, it doesn't use that much at all, but it is not casual. The number that was yelled indiscriminately counted all subsequent announcements.

The filming cycle of "The Martian" will not be too long, but for this film, it takes a lot of time to prepare.

First of all, the leading actors including Lin Xiao need to go to the aviation bureau for training. After all, the filming is on Mars, in space.

Therefore, some training for astronauts is needed. Of course, it is impossible to really receive training like astronauts, at most it is to train a feeling.

The feeling of being in a space capsule.

Not to mention, being an actor and being a director are really not the same thing.

There are too many things that the director needs to be responsible for. Even Lin Xiao, who has an assistant director under him, can do many things with his mouth, but in fact, he still has a lot to do.

Although the assistant director can do things like scenography, he is the one who makes the final decision.

On the other hand, it is the actors. This time "The Martian" is also a very big challenge for Lin Xiao.

"The Martian" is called the rest of the deserted island on Mars, that is to say, Lin Xiao's one-man show occupies a very large space of the whole film, it can almost be said that he needs to carry the performance of the whole film alone!
Then there is the construction of the studio. If these are placed in a small company, Lin Xiao may be busy, but Lin Xiao is no longer a junior brother, and Ling Xiaoge is not a small company, so there is a very mature team.

Although there were a lot of preparations in the early stage, they were orderly. Lin Xiao was responsible for controlling the overall situation, and he just had to move his mouth.

Other things will naturally be done by someone!
For example, going to the desert to survey the scene, such as custom props, such as building a studio, such as special effects and so on.

Of course, as a director, Lin Xiao can't be a hands-off shopkeeper. He also needs to spend a lot of time making decisions and making arrangements.

At the same time, he had to undergo training, and Lin Xiao hadn't been so busy for a long time.

The preparation of "The Martian" will take some time. During this time, there are a few things worthy of attention.

One is that the Sky Alliance strikes again.

After experiencing the serious failure of "Knights and Magic", one of the three major projects of the Tianmeng has gone.

Once became a laughing stock, how much he boasted at the beginning, now it hurts as much as a slap in the face.

In addition, the stock prices of several shareholder companies of Tianmeng directly fell to the limit!
It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it hurts the muscles and bones, but it is a loss of [-] million US dollars, not a loss of [-] million Chinese coins.

Even if it is shared by several companies, the loss of each family will exceed [-] million.

The point is that the three major projects of the Tianmeng were dumb at the first shot. Not only was "Knight and Magic" cool, but the other two projects were also beginning to be underestimated.

There is another final impact, that is, Longteng's "Three Kingdoms Series" project has been stabilized. As long as there are no major problems, this project and this brand have already succeeded by more than half!
The defeat of Tianmeng also caused many people to withdraw their thoughts of entering Hollywood.

I saw Lin Xiao's prosperity in North America before, and the box office broke through [-] million US dollars every now and then, as simple as eating and drinking.

However, "Knights and Magic" of Tianmeng was still a movie by fans, but it turned out to be unbelievable, and it directly poured cold water on other film companies who are eager to make love!
Hollywood is not so easy to mess with!

Lin Xiao was able to succeed because Lin Xiao himself could not be judged by common sense.

Looking at Lin Xiao's family history, he has never been defeated. What a terrifying thing.

Therefore, many people put away their thoughts, and let's just hang out in China honestly.

This time, the Tianmeng couldn't afford to lose.

"Infinite Reincarnation" is a science fiction film. Speaking of it, its advantages are the least obvious, because "Infinite Reincarnation" is a best-selling novel in China.

And not a bestseller in North America!
"Infinite Reincarnation" is not small, although it is not as good as "Knight and Magic", but it is also a big production.

However, with the previous defeat of "Knights and Magic", this time, the Tianmeng didn't dare to brag, they really couldn't afford to lose.

The failure of "Knights and Magic" last time caused the market value of the company owned by Tianmeng's shareholders to evaporate at least billions.

If it happens again, no one can stand it.

"Infinite Reincarnation" is scheduled for summer vacation, but it's August!

Because the competition for this year's summer vacation is also extremely fierce. There are several Hollywood blockbusters, films from several major domestic companies, as well as films from The Peak, Longteng, Ahri, and ECCOM.

The summer vacation time has always been a battleground for military strategists, especially in recent years, with the entry of Internet giants such as Ari and ECCOM, the competition has become more and more intense.

Huaxun, Ali, these two Internet giants are the background film and television giants, and Tianyu is backed by Tiansou, and the three major Internet giants in Huaguo entered at the same time. Although they paid a lot of tuition fees, it is undeniable that the three major The giant has strong funds and is really not short of money.

And the established film and television giants are not to be outdone, and they are also determined to win the summer film.

At the end of June, Tianchen's "Tomb Raider" will be released. This movie is adapted from a best-selling novel on the Internet. In recent years, the theme of tomb robbery adventures has gradually become popular, so it should not be underestimated.

Tianxing's "Hongmen Banquet" is also released in early July!
It's only a week away from "Tomb Raider".

It can be said to be a competition within the Sky Alliance!
Of course, the Tianmeng said it was an alliance, but the Tianmeng itself is not monolithic, and each has its own interests.
