Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 227 227. Hard Science Fiction

On that day, news about Chen Li becoming the honorary president of the Xiaguo Film Association emerged overwhelmingly. The cover photo used by almost all media was the one of Chen Li shaking hands with director Zhang An.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Internet was shocked.

They didn't expect that the proud practitioners of the Film Association would take the initiative to invite Chen Li, and judging from the scene at that time, they were almost begging him to join.

Of course, there are far-sighted netizens who have seen through the meaning. It is one thing that Chen Li's movies are high-level, but on the other hand, they are now considered capital, and the company's profits and influence are completely free from anyone's compulsion.

Others used theaters to block movies, but he did the opposite and directly used movies to block theaters!

This seemed ridiculous before, but if you look at the endings of Holley Cinema and Dahai Cinema, you will know that this method is not bad at all, and the effect is even more terrifying!

If you are happy, the movie will be released in theaters for you to make money, and everyone can play together. If you make him unhappy, the movie will not be given to you, and all the high box office hits in the future will have nothing to do with your theaters!

Therefore, no one would be dissatisfied with Chen Li's ability to serve as the honorary president!

"That's how it should be. It's an honor for Xia Guo Film Association for Chen Li to join!"

"Hehehe, Mr. Zhang An is still very sharp-eyed. He understands the importance of Chen Li to Xia Guo's movies. Of course, he must be friends with such a character."

"I heard that Chen Li was originally not interested in these and didn't even sign up."

"Haha, I believe that Chen Li's ideas are always different from others. No wonder Director Zhang An is anxious."

"Director Chen, stop making trouble, let's hurry up and shoot those sequels."

"Yeah, when will my "Ghost Story 2" and "Police Story 2" be released? Hurry up and fill in the gaps."

"."

At this time, Chen Li was chatting and drinking tea in Zhang An's office.

He was still a little confused when he looked at the honorary president and the certificate placed on the table. In fact, in his previous life, he had joined the association and was considered a small director. Unexpectedly, in this life, he had already obtained the rank of honorary president.

He was filled with emotions.

"Come, Director Chen, have some tea."

After Zhang An handed the tea to Chen Li, he said with great emotion: "I have watched all your works, they are really good. As a director, I know that many people can only make one or two types of movies, but from the current point of view, , you can actually shoot all kinds of films."

"When I was your age, I could only take pictures everywhere with a camera."

After Chen Li won the Cannes Grand Prix, he kept following Chen Li and was shocked by his new movies every time.

Even though he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, he feels ashamed of himself.

Chen Li smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang was joking, I was just lucky."

Zhang An shook his head and laughed: "If I am lucky enough to be able to shoot like this, I would also like to get lucky a few times."

After that, the two started to communicate about the current situation of Xia Kingdom's movies. Although there was a big age gap, they were both people who had profound knowledge of movies.

"By the way, speaking of which, the Xia State Film Department and the Xia State Science and Technology Association are preparing to jointly release "Several Opinions on Promoting the Development of Science Fiction Films."

"It proposes to establish a contact mechanism to promote the development of science fiction films, establish a scientific advisory library for science fiction films, and provide professional consulting, technical support and other services for science fiction films."

"That is to say, we need to promote the integration of science and film and television, so that science and technology can be more accurately expressed in movies. At the same time, using the influence of movies to spread science can also make Xia Guo's science fiction movies better and more rigorous."

"Thanks to you, this has opened the door to science fiction movies, and the country has paid attention to it. Are you interested in participating?"

Zhang An asked casually.

Chen Li was surprised. He didn't expect that the film department would actually take this step. This was a good thing. A large part of the reason why Hollywood science fiction blockbusters are so good-looking is because they are real. In addition to real special effects, researchers and scholars in related fields are also invited to participate in the creation of the movies. This can ensure that the content is not messy.

Xia Kingdom science fiction films rarely do this. Of course, this is partly because hard science fiction is too difficult to develop in Xia Kingdom. On the other hand, there is no official guidance, and it is not easy to find the big guys in the research institute.

Chen Li became interested and asked: "So, are you planning for a collaboration between the scientific community and the film and television industry?"

Zhang An nodded: "Yes, this can be considered as a contribution to Xia Guo's science fiction. After all, the strong science fiction atmosphere in the country will be of great help in cultivating the scientific quality of the next generation!"

"I have indeed had the idea of ​​​​making a science fiction film recently. If the scientific community intervenes, then hard science fiction can be produced!" Chen Li said with a smile.

Whether it is the previous "This Man is from Earth" or "District 9", although it is not a soft science fiction, it is still semi-soft and not hard. If he can make a harder movie, Chen Li is still very willing to do it. .

He couldn't do it alone, so he had to gather experts from various fields to help.

"Although this is not a task, in the eyes of the outside world, it is your first movie after joining the association. Are you sure about it?"

Zhang An didn't want to put pressure on Chen Li. He also announced this matter in the association, but not many responded. After all, science fiction films cost money and trouble, and may not have a box office. Even if they are willing to make them, investors will not Must give money.

So the matter was put on hold for the time being. Zhang An was very anxious, worried that the situation he had finally opened up would be ruined, so he asked Chen Li.

Now that things were certain, he felt relieved.

After lunch, Zhang An took Chen Li to the door of an office inside the Film Association. There was a sign hanging next to it that read "Science and Technology Film Special Committee".

"This was established at that time, and it was mainly responsible for connecting and inviting scientists and industry insiders." Zhang An explained.

Opening the door, there were four young people chatting animatedly in the room. Seeing Zhang An and Chen Li come in, they all excitedly welcomed them.

"Ah! It's Director Chen!"

"Director Chen is here? Oh my God! This is perfect!"

"Hiss, Mr. Zhang, is Director Chen here to participate in this matter?"

Several people were a little excited and chattering endlessly.

Zhang An nodded and said with a smile: "I'm such a bad old man that I can't handle these new things like you, so I'd better let Director Chen do it."

"Hello." Chen Li smiled.

"Come on, come on, Director Zhang and Chen, sit here!"

"I'll get the tea!"

"I'll get the information!"

"I, I, I, I will tell you."

The room suddenly became busy, Zhang An said with a smile: "They are all young people, full of energy."

Chen Li also liked this kind of atmosphere. If he faced a group of old scholars, he felt that he would go crazy.

After a simple communication, Chen Li roughly understood what the other party meant. After all, they had just been established and they all wanted to do something big. However, science fiction movies were difficult. They had to take into account the scientific nature but could not make a science and education film at the same time, so they were also very entangled.
