Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 332 Mars Survival Guide
In the previous life, the movie "The Martian" had a high box office, and it sparked a lot of discussion after the movie was released.

Of course, Zhao Ye is very happy to do this kind of good thing that can both make money and increase his influence.

The project for "The Martian" was quickly approved. Shanghai Animation Film Studio struck while the iron was hot and announced that it would open auditions for actors from all over the country.

Most of the scenes in this movie are performed by one person, so the choice of the protagonist is very important.

As soon as the news of the audition came out, the domestic entertainment circle immediately became a sensation.

First of all, the investment in this movie is as high as 10 billion yuan, which is definitely a large-scale production and rare in China.

Obviously, the movie "The Martian" is aimed at audiences around the world. It is difficult to make a profit in the domestic film market alone.

Secondly, the hottest topic in the world not long ago was immigration to Mars. Filming "The Martian" at this time will definitely attract global attention.

At this moment, many big stars in China have expressed their desire to audition for "The Martian" and are willing to lower their pay, or even give it no pay.

In this movie, the protagonist has a lot of solo roles. After the movie is released, it will definitely become popular all over the world. Maybe he will become an international superstar and his net worth will skyrocket.

If you take a film in China, even a first-line star can hardly get a salary of more than 1000 million yuan, but if you take a film in Hollywood, you may get a salary of millions of dollars. If converted into RMB, that would be tens of millions.

In addition, there are also endorsements from various European and American big names.

Therefore, all the major domestic male stars are extremely eager to play the male lead in "The Martian".

……

Shanghai Art Film Studio.

Xu Xiangming just finished a meeting and called Zhao Ye.

"He has a good image. He looks like a tough guy, has a military temperament, can endure hardships, and his acting skills must be good!"

In response to the inquiry from studio director Xu Xiangming, Zhao Ye stated his simple requirements for the male lead in "The Martian."

Due to the huge investment in this film, the actor who plays the male lead will be required to go to Galaxy Technology Company for long-term astronaut training, which will take at least half a year. The training period should be very hard, plus the preparatory work for the film. So the actual shooting time may not be until the second half of next year.

"Director Zhao, do you have a suitable candidate?" Xu Xiangming asked.

"Li Lianjie, Cheng Long, Wu Jing, Zhang Hanyu, Louis Koo..." Zhao Ye mentioned some names casually.

Among these people, Li Lianjie has the best image and temperament, and he is also well-known in Europe and the United States. He is the best candidate for the protagonist of "The Martian".

When Xu Xiangming heard this, he was also the first to consider using Li Lianjie.

After ending the phone call, Xu Xiangming asked someone to send an audition invitation to Li Lianjie.

On the other end of the phone, Li Lianjie and his agent had arrived in Shanghai and were staying at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Originally Li Lianjie was still in Hollywood in the United States, but as soon as he heard that "The Martian" was recruiting actors, he immediately returned to China.

In the United States, although he is somewhat famous, it is difficult for him to receive big-budget Hollywood movies.

Globally, in terms of star-making ability, Shanghai Animation Film Studio is more powerful. Although it is only a Chinese film company, every major production is very shocking and leads the global film trend.

In this life, because of the filming of "Independence Day", Cheng Long's achievements and influence around the world far exceed that of Li Lianjie.

Li Lianjie's highest-paid work in Hollywood was the cosmic bad movie "Cosmic Pursuit", which reached 750 million US dollars, while Cheng Long's salary in Hollywood exceeded 1000 million US dollars.

Therefore, Li Lianjie is extremely eager to star in the movie "The Martian".

The audition invitation from Shanghai Animation Film Studio immediately surprised him. After all, not every actor can get the opportunity to audition.

"Shanghai Art Film Studio just contacted me and invited me to audition for the male lead in "The Martian"! If I can star in this film, even if the salary is reduced by half, I am willing..." Li Lianjie hung up the phone and immediately He said to his agent excitedly.

When the agent heard this, he also became excited.

Although Li Lianjie is a big-name star, Shanghai Animation Film Studio does not value this.There are some films where the movie makes the actor!
This is the case for many movies produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio. Even if it is a pure new actor, as long as he can star in a film produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio, he will often become an instant hit and become popular all over the world.

……

The more prosperous and powerful a country is, the larger the film market will be.

In the previous life, in 2003, the total box office revenue of the Chinese mainland film market reached 10 billion.

Today, the total size of the film market in mainland China reaches more than 50 billion yuan.

However, the total box office in mainland China is growing rapidly and is likely to exceed 2004 billion yuan by 100.

Oriental Media Group, owned by Zhao Ye, has rapidly deployed Oriental Cinemas in China. So far, there are 651 Oriental Cinemas and 7506 screens in the country.

Recently, Oriental Media Group has carried out a new round of integration and plans to list and raise funds in the A-share market in the future. It owns Oriental News Agency, Asia Television, Shanghai Art Film Studio, Oriental Cinemas, Oriental Publishing House, Oriental Printing Factory, Qidian Novel websites and major newspapers and magazines, etc...

With the rapid development of China's economy, the domestic entertainment industry is bound to explode, and the Chinese film market will become a very important ticket warehouse in the world, even surpassing the United States.

The United States only has a population of 3 million, but China has a population of 14 billion.

The potential of China's box office market is obviously greater than that of the United States.

Moreover, Shanghai Animation Film Studio is also actively promoting the upgrade of film consumption.

The two super big movies currently being produced, "Avatar" and "Prehistoric World: The Tribe of the Tribe", are both 3D special effects blockbusters. Once these two movies are released, they will be sold out and it will be difficult to get a ticket, making "IMAX 3D" a kind of consumption standards.

……

In November, news about "The Martian" was flying everywhere, and the movie became a hit before it was even made.

Major domestic and foreign film companies or investment companies have expressed investment intentions.

It's obvious that this movie is going to be a hit, and everyone wants a piece of it.

Zhao Ye is no longer a solitary person, and in order to ensure the smooth distribution of the film, he is willing to let other people participate in investment, even if the other party is a Hollywood film company.

Half a month later, Shanghai Art Film Studio reached an agreement with other investors: the total investment for "The Martian" was 10 billion yuan, Shanghai Art Film Studio invested 4 million yuan, and the remaining investment share was 6 million yuan. It was divided among other companies, but Shanghai Art Film Studio still held 50% of the rights.

In addition, Shanghai Animation Film Studio owns the distribution rights for "The Martian", and the filming team and special effects production team also use Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

Shanghai Animation Film Studio will be the first to make a lot of money just by filming this movie.

The casting of the male protagonist of the film was soon confirmed, and it was confirmed that Li Lianjie would star, with a salary of 4000 million yuan, almost 500 million US dollars.

Due to abundant funds, Shanghai Art Film Studio does not crazily squeeze the actors' salaries. Only when the salaries are reasonable can the actors be motivated to act.

On November 11, Li Lianjie's schedule became available, and he immediately rushed to Galaxy Technology Company to receive training.

After arriving at the destination, Li Lianjie was shocked. He had to receive the same training as the astronauts from Galaxy Technology Company. It felt really painful and happy.

On the one hand, I feel very honored to be able to train with the astronauts of my motherland; but on the other hand, these training projects are really hard.

After only a few days, Li Lianjie couldn't help but feel very tired. Not only was he physically exhausted, he also had a lot of learning tasks every day, such as various aerospace knowledge.Li Lianjie felt that under such high-intensity training, he might be able to become half an astronaut when he completes the training.

At the same time, several screenwriters and special effects personnel from Shanghai Art Film Studio also came to Galaxy Technology Company to discuss the rigor of the movie script with scientists and strive to do better in details, such as what is the scene of the Martian storm? What does it look like? Is it possible to fly "open-top" away from Mars' gravity?Why lose weight?Is it possible to pierce a space suit and use hand jets to gain speed?How to grow potatoes on Mars?The principle of oxygen generator and water recovery device...

Scientists and engineers at Galaxy Technology Company are very interested in "The Martian". They seem to regard "The Martian" as an advance rehearsal for Mars immigration and put forward many scientific suggestions.

Zhao Ye also hopes that after "The Martian" is released, even scientists will not be able to find fault with it.

"The Martian" in the previous life certainly did not have the support of so many aerospace experts as this "Mars".

This is not just a movie, it can be used as a survival guide for humans on Mars! ! !
