Chapter 196 Preparations for "The Wandering Earth"

After a thorough discussion, Qin Tian and Guo Fan realized that their project had already started filming! However, it was still in the intense preparation stage, and the actors had not yet officially arrived.

The next morning, as the sun shone on the earth, Qin Tian and Wu Jing, filled with curiosity, followed closely behind Guo Fan to Qingdao Film City to see what it was all about.

It has to be said that Guo Fan is no ordinary person! His silver tongue and ability to deceive people are unparalleled and truly astonishing.

During yesterday's conversation, Guo Fan eloquently described the project's many ingenious ideas and grand plans, which greatly excited Qin Tian and Wu Jing, igniting their curiosity like a raging fire.

That's why the two of them couldn't wait to go and see for themselves the next day, to truly appreciate its splendor.

When they finally stepped into that huge studio, the sight before them left them speechless!

Guo Fan unhesitatingly rented the largest studio in the entire Qingdao Film and Television Base and meticulously created a series of breathtaking scenes within it:

The mysterious and deep underground city seems to hide countless unknown secrets;

The vast, boundless ice field exudes a chilling, biting cold.

The planetary engine control room is full of advanced technology, with a dazzling array of complex and sophisticated instruments and equipment.

And that dreamlike space station, it's as if you're in the vast starry sky...

Guo Fan has brought to life every element that can be presented in real-world settings, sparing no expense!

This actual scene covers an area of ​​10 square meters, which is equivalent to a large residential community!

The scene was meticulously crafted…

Guo Fan watched with satisfaction as Qin Tian and Wu Jing stared in disbelief.

The two of them, one a producer and the other a director. I've seen countless film crews, big and small, but this is the first time I've seen one like this.

In the canyon, those huge excavators were neatly arranged, each with eye-catching safety slogans carefully affixed to it.

These simple yet sincere slogans seem to inject a touch of warmth and care into the cold machines.

Wu Jing and Qin Tian strolled around, curiously observing everything around them. Time passed by, and ten minutes had gone by in the blink of an eye.

Wu Jing finally couldn't contain his amazement and blurted out, "My God, this is so exquisitely made! It's unbelievable!"

Standing to the side, Guo Fan smiled and explained, "That's right, we want to do everything we can to make this place exactly like the real scene."

Only in this way, when these things finally face destruction, can the audience truly feel that there seem to be people inside, and thus genuinely feel pity and regret.

After a brief pause, Guo Fan continued, "Actually, at the beginning, almost everyone was skeptical about Chinese people making science fiction films, and no one was willing to invest. Fortunately, China Film Group was willing to lend a helping hand and invested some funds, which gave me the opportunity to quickly build the scene in front of me."

Qin Tian listened quietly to Guo Fan's story, a feeling of admiration welling up inside him. He knew that the hard work and effort behind it were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Looking back at Guo Fan's debut film, "My Old Classmate," the initial investment was only tens of millions, but it yielded an astonishing box office of 500 million, making it a huge success and earning him a fortune.

However, Guo Fan was not content with the status quo. Instead, he resolutely stepped out of his comfort zone and bravely pursued his dream of making science fiction movies.

Despite his privileged background, he still chose to pursue further studies at the Beijing Film Academy even though he was over thirty.

After all, it is not easy to stand out in the highly competitive directing industry, especially for ordinary people who lack financial support.

It's fair to say that getting to where we are today has been incredibly difficult!

Of course, if one can truly stand out and distinguish oneself, then the days ahead will surely be smooth sailing, and wealth will come rolling in like a surging tide.

If you don't intend to invest and only want to receive dividends, then it's practically a sure thing. No matter how unpredictable the market is, you can be guaranteed a steady income.

Qin Tian finally said solemnly, "Senior, seeing how much effort you've put in, how wholeheartedly you're pursuing your dream, and how well you've done in all aspects, including setting up the scenes, I firmly believe that our work will be a huge success!"

However, despite Qin Tian's high praise for the overall situation, he still offered some unique insights and perspectives on the script.

The story told in "The Wandering Earth" is roughly about the experiences between a migrant worker from Earth (Liu Peiqiang) and a child left behind in his hometown (Liu Qi).

Later, due to her willful and playful nature, Han Duoduo went out to play without thinking, which unfortunately led to her grandfather losing his life.

After reviewing the script, Qin Tian vaguely felt that the plot was somewhat thin and weak.

Therefore, he naturally felt that it needed to be modified and improved.

Faced with Qin Tian's suggestion, Guo Fan nodded in agreement without hesitation, and even generously said that even if Qin Tian was unwilling to make the changes himself, it would be fine to just put his name on it.

But soon after he said it, Qin Tian regretted it.

Over the years, he has made a living by plagiarizing other people's scripts. When has he ever actually made even the slightest change himself?

This would undoubtedly mean that Qin Tian's workload would increase significantly.

However, to be fair, Qin Tian has plagiarized countless scripts over the years, so he has accumulated some experience to some extent.

What's that saying again? "Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear." Qin Tian is just copying a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear.

Actually, the reason for wanting to enhance Han Duoduo's personal abilities was out of sheer necessity.

If we don't do this, the female lead will become a nobody with no presence at all! Just think, if the protagonist can't attract the audience's attention and affection, wouldn't the story lose a lot of its fun?

Qin Tian thought to himself: Once the box office results of this movie are announced, all the ladies in my family will start nagging me nonstop again.

But there's nothing we can do; that's just the reality. We simply can't find any roles that are a good fit for them.

That said, after Guo Fan explained the entire project to Wu Jing and Qin Tian, ​​he arranged for someone to carefully measure Qin Tian and Wu Jing's clothing sizes. This was mainly to ensure the smooth production of the spacesuits, exoskeletons, and other equipment they needed later.

It must be said that these tasks require a great deal of meticulousness.

Let's talk about director Guo Fan. He's really amazing! He actually invested 60% of the budget into special effects without hesitation.

This kind of courage is not something ordinary people have! As for the actors, with his silver tongue and persuasive skills, most of them willingly lowered their pay.

After everything was arranged, Qin Tian and Wu Jing returned to the capital.

After all, there's still a while before the actors actually start filming, so this is a good time to do some preparation.
