Chapter 990 989, Second Purpose
The film "Interstellar" was filmed in three locations: one was in Iceland, which was an outdoor location, requiring the crew to travel a long distance and stop to shoot there; one was in the studio of Hengdian Film and Television City, where the spacecraft flying in outer space and the five-dimensional space of the male protagonist's home all needed to be set up and filmed in the studio; as for the last one... it was a 5,000-acre corn field.
In northern China, the production cycle of spring corn is generally 4 and a half months, with sowing in early April or mid-April and harvesting in mid-August or late August.
In view of this, Yang Hao designed a very careful shooting plan for this film to ensure that no time was wasted.
The crew of "Interstellar" entered Iceland at the end of March. At that time, the ice in Iceland had not melted yet, and its shooting scenes fully met the requirements of the plot. The shooting time was about one and a half months, which means that the outdoor shooting could be completed in mid-May.
At this time, the set of the "Interstellar" crew in the studio of Hengdian Film and Television City was completed.
If everything goes well, the shooting time in Hengdian Film and Television City should be completed in mid-July.
By mid-July, the crew was able to rush to the Northeast to shoot the last location of the movie, the 5,000-acre corn field.
Well designed.
The crew's work progressed completely according to Yang Hao's plan. Guan Jingjing found a good piece of land at the junction of Northeast China and Inner Mongolia. At a glance, it was 10,000 acres.
This land was originally used to grow spring corn.
When he heard that Yang Hao, a well-known mainland film director, wanted to borrow this land in the village to shoot a movie, and he could give the village a subsidy of 200 yuan per acre, the village chief agreed without even thinking about it, and he kept saying on the phone that there are high-end services in the bathhouse in our town. If our director has needs when filming here, we can still let them do special operations...
Hearing what Guan Jingjing relayed, Yang Hao was almost angry to death.
This smoky entertainment industry has made the people in remote rural areas know the tricks inside.
He Haihong, the prop master of the crew, is usually a very lazy person. As long as it is not a job arranged by Yang Hao himself, this guy will just muddle through. As long as it does not cause any trouble, no one can control me.
But when he got the drawings of various props such as spaceships, aircraft, and five-dimensional space from Yang Hao, he immediately put into work.
His mother's.
This is definitely a classic work that has created the history of Chinese science fiction movies after "The Wandering Earth".
Five-dimensional space, who could have imagined what it would look like before...
Come on!
Now, buddy will let moviegoers all over the world see how beautiful the five-dimensional space is.
Regarding the actors of the movie "Interstellar", Yang Hao used all Hollywood big names, such as the father-in-law of the male protagonist Tom Hanks, he invited people like Francis Ford Coppola.
Maybe some people are not familiar with the name Francis Ford Coppola. Well, let's put it this way. This guy is the uncle of Hollywood Oscar winner Nicolas Cage. The famous movie "The Godfather" in the history of world cinema was directed by him personally.
Of course, after handing over the work in his hands to the team, Yang Hao himself was not idle.
…
On March 26, 2014, Yang Hao first went to Hong Kong Island and stayed in Hong Kong Island for two days. Lai Meiqi's child has grown up, but he has not yet been given a Chinese name. As a biological father, Yang Hao named him Yang Zhao. Zhao means brightness, and Yang Hao means to let him be a carefree and sunny boy.
On March 29, 2014, Yang Hao went directly from Hong Kong Island to Singapore. When she married her ex-husband, Gong Li became a Singaporean citizen. Therefore, this time, she was waiting for childbirth in Singapore. The reason why she was here was to avoid the attention of domestic news media.
Yang Hao was lucky. On the second day after arriving in Singapore, Gong Li gave birth to a boy, weighing 6.9 jins, who looked very much like his mother.
According to the rules of Yang Hao's hometown, whether it is a boy or a girl, the child's father or grandfather should name it. However, Gong Li had an accident.
When the obstetrician and gynecologist asked what the child should be called, she did not seek Yang Hao's advice, and directly said a name that she was said to have thought about for a long time,
Gong Yang is Gong Yang, in fact, it is also good to call him.
Knowing his son's name, the father should give him a gift, even if there is no name [Yang Hao] in the father's column on his birth certificate, Yang Hao decided to give the child a gift.
Buy a house in the name of the child in Singapore.
But when Yang Hao came out of the hospital and was about to find an agent to buy a nice house on this small island where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, an old acquaintance who had not seen him for a long time reached out and stopped him on the street in Singapore.
"Director, you've been busy lately?"
"Not bad."
Seeing Lee Boo-jin, Yang Hao was not surprised at all.
After a month of global screenings, the sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth" brought considerable profits to the Samsung Group of South Korea. Apart from other things, the advertising fees saved for Samsung amounted to 150 million US dollars worldwide.
This is the money saved.
Because compared with the money saved, Samsung in South Korea actually got more profits. During the Chinese Spring Festival, Samsung Group's global shipments soared by 158%, sales soared by 243% over the same period last year, and profits soared by 196% over the same period last year.
Of course, this is just sales.
If the profits of Samsung Group in the stock market are added, according to Yang Hao's estimation, its total profits are definitely not less than 12 billion US dollars.
Earned 12 billion, only 2.8 billion was thrown out.
Even if Li Fuzhen is a fool, she knows what to do next.
"Director, let's not beat around the bush. I came here today to ask you, "The Wandering Earth 2", when do you plan to release it?"
"Next Spring Festival!"
"Well, do you have a partner?" Li Fuzhen asked with a smile.
"Not yet."
"Why don't we continue to cooperate?" Li Fuzhen smiled happily.
"No cooperation." Yang Hao refused very straightforwardly.
"What? Aren't you stupid if you don't make money?" Li Fuzhen was puzzled.
"①, people who have studied me know that I never repeat myself, because it is meaningless.
②, "The Wandering Earth 1", we worked together very happily, I made money, you also made money, because of this, you also got what you wanted, and you were appreciated by President Lee Kun-hee. But have you ever thought about it?
If we use the same trick again, the society's sense of novelty will be gone, the desire of moviegoers will be gone, and you will not make money.
③, I have been in the industry for more than 6 years, and I have made money, so I want to win the box office in a dignified way, so I will use the most common publicity methods, hold press conferences, hold global premieres, and take movie actors to roadshows, etc."
"Oh..."
To be honest, Lee Boo-jin was a little disappointed, after all, she came here for this, I want to form the best partner with Yang Hao.
But then think about it, Lee Boo-jin is happy.
Yang Hao is really not a person who forgets his principles for the sake of profit. He is right. When something new is done for the first time, everyone will come to watch the fun, after all, no one has seen it before.
But by the second, third, or even Nth time, basically no one paid attention.
"Well..., Yang Hao, since you don't agree, I won't force you. Now let me tell you the second purpose of my coming!"
At this time, Li Fuzhen suddenly pointed upstairs in the hospital.
"Ms. Gong is 5 years older than me, but she gave birth to a son with you. Otherwise, you can also help me with this matter, because I like handsome and smart boys like you too much."
