For an excellent doomsday-themed movie, the reasons for the doomsday crisis are very important.

Among the most classic reasons, one is the Great Flood. In the legends of human civilization, there have been legends of great floods that destroyed human civilization.

There is also a virus, a virus in the real world that has caused terrible disasters.

In the story Fang Xing came up with, the cause of the doomsday crisis was not the flood or the virus, but the sun above our heads that gave humanity warmth and life.

In human culture, there are many legends about the sun.

For example, Hou Yi shoots the sun, Kuafu chases the sun, and the sun bird.

In the history of human civilization for thousands of years, the sun has appeared in many forms, some good and some evil.

As humans learn more and more about the sun, they realize that it is a big fireball, not transformed by a divine bird, and cannot be shot down with arrows.

However, in the legend of Hou Yi shooting the sun, one thing is possible, that is, the sun may indeed destroy human civilization.

Of course, it is not because there are nine suns, but because if the sun ages rapidly, it will continue to expand and eventually engulf the earth.

The story of Wandering Earth is about the doomsday crisis caused by the destruction of the sun.

In order to survive and to continue the fire of civilization, mankind needs to solve the crisis of the destruction of the sun.

Wang Yutao's eyes lit up after reading the synopsis of the story: "Director Fang, this story is innovative, and it's a big story. If it's done well, you can even make several movies."

In terms of directing ability, Wang Yutao is also very good.

So he can tell at a glance whether a story has the potential to be made into a movie.

Moreover, as far as the story of "The Wandering Earth" is concerned, the concept is too big.

It is basically impossible to complete this story in one movie.

If this story had to be shot in one movie, then the whole story would just be told in passing, and the sense of oppression needed for a doomsday crisis would not be captured at all.

The movie itself, in the final analysis, still tells people's stories.

If there are no people, what does the destruction of the sun matter?

After the destruction, a few million years later, a new solar system might be formed.

But human life cannot survive such a doomsday crisis.

Therefore, movies about doomsday crises are not about the apocalypse, but about the spirit and courage of human beings struggling to survive and fighting against fate in a doomsday environment.

Wang Yutao took the initiative and said: "Director Fang, I want to join the directing team."

After "Know or Not" won the annual ratings championship, Wang Yutao has become famous as one of the directors.

If he is willing, he can receive TV drama projects from outside at any time.

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure? Being an assistant director is too humiliating."

Wang Yutao was unambiguous at all: "I am interested in this story. I have long wanted to shoot the deep space universe. I like the sense of boundless images. I want to shoot it."

Fang Xing thought about it and asked, "What if it's a TV series project or a movie project? For the former, you can use the guide tube, but not for the latter."

Wang Yutao raised his eyebrows and thought about it for only a few seconds: "I choose the movie The Wandering Earth."

He had a personal pursuit. If it was just for money, he could have gone out to look for TV series projects and work alone during the two years when Fang Xing took a break.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fang Xing saw that he was indeed interested in this story, thought about it for a moment, and said: "That's it. If you are really interested in this film project, you come

In other words, he is the executive director."

The executive director is different from the assistant director, but not the chief director.

This situation is common in the film industry.

The larger the production, the more executive directors are used.

To put it simply, the executive director is a higher position than the assistant director.

On the set, the producer and director have the greatest say. Generally speaking, the producer has the greater say, but if there is a conflict between these two positions, it will be very troublesome.

Therefore, by default, the producer manages the money and the director manages the shooting.

Below the director, the executive director has the greater say, followed by the assistant director.

Of course, if the leading actor is a movie star or a top celebrity, he will have a lot of say, but this situation cannot be viewed as normal.

When Wang Yutao heard that he was the executive director, he was even more happy: "Okay, thank you, Director Fang."

Fang Xing really needs an executive director, especially when he has to act in person. A lot of directing work needs to be done by an executive director.

Later, Qiao Yinghong asked the question she was most concerned about: "What is the approximate investment budget?"

This time it was a special effects film, which must have been very expensive.

As the president of Ark Culture, Qiao Yinghong needs to control project investment.

Fang Xing answered directly: "The initial budget is 500 million, and it will be increased or decreased depending on the specific shooting situation."

When it comes to making movies, Fang Xing sticks to the idea of ​​doing whatever he wants. Anyway, he just wants to produce the best effect.

If the budget is not enough in the end, increase the budget.

If other film and television investment companies don't invest, then invest yourself.

The meeting discussed the preparations for the "Wandering Earth" movie project, and then the heads of various departments began to get busy.

The investment department, production department and other departments were started almost at the same time.

Can a movie like this be made? Will the market accept this movie?

These issues are not discussed at all.

This was the first time for Sun Jianqi to participate in such an efficient and ideal meeting. In one morning, a film project worth 500 million yuan was approved.

There isn’t even a complete script, just a summary of the story.
Chapter completed!
