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

Chapter 228 228. Coherence

One of the little girls said: "Director Chen, we don't know anything about movies, but if you have any needs and want to find experts in any field, just ask, whether it's aerospace, satellite design, rocket launches, extraterrestrial planets Researched, nothing is wrong!”

Chen Li pondered for a moment and said: "I know the original intention is to promote science, so this first movie might as well be simple to let netizens understand the difference of this movie. It is best to arouse their interest and subtly export scientific knowledge. .”

Chen Li didn't want to make the first movie too complicated, so he decided to make a small movie first, and then the audience would pay attention to the scientific part of the movie.

"Director Chen, do you have any ideas?" Zhang An asked.

Chen Li nodded: "Yes, I suggest you first combine it with a scientific topic that is of interest to the public, so that everyone will accept it more."

"for example?"

"For example, parallel universes, grandfather paradox, Schrödinger's cat, time travel, etc." Chen Li smiled.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up!

This is indeed a good idea. Anyone who has watched any number of science fiction movies will understand some of these issues.

But then some people were confused: "But many of these movies have already filmed these contents."

"Don't worry, I'm going to make a tougher science fiction film that even scientific researchers won't be able to find fault with."

Hearing his confident words, everyone looked at each other.

That was a project involving scientific researchers. Director Chen was actually confident that the other party would not be able to find any faults?

is it possible?

Although they did admire Chen Li, they didn't do it so blindly. After all, they were separated by a mountain.

"Director Chen, what issue are you planning to film on?"

Chen Li thought for a while: "Then let's use Schrödinger's cat. Everyone is familiar with this one."

Zhang An was confused when he heard this, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are really old, you can't understand these new things."

Chen Li smiled: "That's just right. When the movie is finished, Mr. Zhang can watch it. If it can be popularized by science, then this movie will be a success."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it. By the way, invest in this."

Zhang An is going to help Chen Li solve the problem. After all, it’s not easy for the other party to contribute both money and effort, and hard science fiction is very expensive.

"No, I don't think I can even spend a thousand yuan on this movie."

"???"

The eyes of everyone present were dull.

For a moment, I thought I suspected that I heard it wrong, or that Chen Li had said it wrong.

"You said ten million, right?" Zhang An took out his ears and said with a wry smile. He felt that he was old and his ears were no longer working.

Chen Li explained: "No, it's just one thousand yuan. You heard that right."

"Holy shit! Is it really a thousand yuan? A thousand yuan isn't even enough to set up a venue, right?"

"Director Chen, actually we don't have to be so frugal. The first movie still needs to be something special."

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone said with a bit of laughter and tears.

Chen Li waved his hand: "I know for sure that it is not difficult to explain 'Schrödinger's Cat'. In this way, I will take out the movie tomorrow and you will know after watching it."

tomorrow?

Hiss hiss.

Not only were several staff members of the Science Film Committee shocked, but even the well-informed Zhang An was dumbfounded.

Could it be that what Chen Li wants to shoot is a short story?

But even if it is a short film, it must contain scientific and serious content. He is worried that Chen Li will underestimate this matter, and the situation will be ugly. "How about... why don't you worry so much? Write out the basics first, and then I'll let the physicists from the National Academy of Sciences take a look at it?" one person quickly suggested.

Chen Li pondered for a moment and said with some entanglement: "According to the process, this is indeed required, but this movie is a bit special. The script is difficult to write, and most of the lines need to be performed by the actors on the spot, so it is better to watch the film directly."

What the hell!

No, brother, what on earth do you want to take a picture of?

The actors have not yet been decided, the script is not yet available, and the funding is 1,000?

Could it be hard science fiction?

Although everyone has doubts, Chen Li, a great director, is so sure that they can't stop it. It's a short film anyway, so let's wait and see.

After Chen Li left, several people from the Science Film Committee discussed which physicist to find as a consultant for the film.

"The first movie still needs to have a good name. Why don't we let Professor Zhang Yizheng come on? He is also a researcher at the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences and happens to be an expert in this field."

"But Professor Zhang Yizheng has a hot temper. If after watching the movie he feels that it was a waste of time, he will scold others. What will we do if we stand in the middle?"

"Let me do the ideological work!"

Chen Li returned to the company and went directly to the artist department.

Everyone was very happy to see Chen Li back. After all, their boss now has the title of honorary president of the Xiaguo Film Association, so he is well established!

Li Tian cried out: "Brother, congratulations!"

Cao Hong also chuckled and said, "Director Chen, we must have a banquet, right?"

"Yes, Brother Chen! I want to treat you!" Wang Anrou shouted.

Liu Wanxin also came over and said, "Yes, Mr. President, we want to celebrate."

The President's words made Chen Li's skin crawl.

Seeing this, he could only smile and said: "Okay, okay, let's go to Wanxin's villa tonight. I'll treat everyone to dinner and shoot a movie by the way."

He casually told the story about the Film and Television Committee.

When they heard that a movie was being filmed, everyone immediately became energetic and excited.

Chen Li returned to the office and spent an hour writing a few pages of outline. Then he marked out the identity of the actors, their relationship and some basic settings, and gave it to Liu Wanxin and several people.

"We will shoot while we are eating tonight. An Rou and I each have a DV. These are some settings. Take a look at it for yourselves." Chen Li said vigorously.

Because the cast requires eight people, in addition to Liu Wanxin, Cao Hong, Ning Chuqing, Yang Xiaoxiao, and Zhou Cheng, Wang Li, Li Tian and assistant Song Yu all joined.

Everyone was confused looking at the thin pages and really couldn't understand.

I was completely captivated by the storyline inside.

"Oh my God, I can understand every word, but I can't understand even the whole sentence?" Wang Li felt like her head was going to explode.

Others also felt like they were reading a book from heaven.

"The name is "Coherence"? It seems to be a physics term, right?" Liu Wanxin hesitated.

Chen Li nodded: "Yes, but the name is too dry. I decided to change it to "The Night the Comet Came" so that it is easier to understand."

After that, he spent a lot of time to get everyone to smooth out the plot.

"Director Chen, I almost understand the plot, but why aren't there any lines?" Cao Hong asked doubtfully.

Chen Li coughed and smiled: "Then it's time to test your abilities. Improvise according to the scene. Of course, when it comes to a certain scene, I will tell you special content, and you can just extend it."

Everyone: "."

No, sir, can a movie still be made like this?
