Chapter 195: Production of "Ne Zha"! Ne Zha's Image is Going Silly? (Please Subscribe!)

Song Hao immediately gave the script for "The Wandering Earth" to Director Chen of the space agency.

After Director Chen received the script for The Wandering Earth.

He watched it immediately, and it wasn't until an hour and a half later that he came to his senses.

He looked at Song Hao and said, "Although I don't know what your movie script should be like, just from the content of this story, I already think it's fantastic."

Director Chen then said, "How about this, I'll find a very experienced expert from the publicity department of our space agency to come and take a look!"

A short while later, he made a phone call: "Hey, Lao Yu, come over here for a second, I have something good to show you."

And just like that, a little old man wearing glasses appeared at the office door.

"Old Yu, come and take a look." Director Chen then handed the script to Old Yu and introduced him, "This is Director Song."

"This is our senior expert in publicity. He's basically the one who edited and played out most of the aerospace footage."

Upon hearing this, Lao Yu waved his hand repeatedly and laughed, "Not at all, I'm just a handyman. Those are all done by the young people in the bureau. It has little to do with me. I was just saying a few words from the side."

Then someone opened the script to him, and he was immediately captivated by its contents.

The script begins with the observation of this blue planet in space, and the map of China can be seen in the design.

Next, the second act switches to the sea.

Then an image of Jupiter appeared on the computer monitor.

At first, Lao Yu was not clear about the details of this structure.

After reading the entire script, he realized that the opening scenes were all metaphorical.

The image of Jupiter highlights the theme of this article.

A story about Earth and Jupiter is about to unfold.

The protagonist, Liu Peiqiang, accompanies his son to observe the starry sky at the beach.

In this part of the script, the camera switches to a panoramic view to introduce the spatial environment.

There was another figure standing nearby, quietly watching the father and son.

In the script, the massive planetary engine is clearly visible in the distance, which will pique the curiosity of future viewers.

Liu Peiqiang was telling his son the story of Jupiter.

When talking about how Jupiter is all hydrogen, the camera should be placed at a lower position.

Upon seeing this, Lao Yu exclaimed in surprise, "You're trying to use a telephoto lens to compress space, making the campfire and balloons, which were originally somewhat far apart, appear together on the screen, thus hinting at the scene of igniting Jupiter, right?"

"Teacher Yu is amazing." Song Hao nodded.

Old Yu looked at the script in his hand and became happier and happier as he read.

He even exclaimed excitedly, "This is a great story, a really great one!"

Director Chen was relieved to see Lao Yu praising it so highly: "That's good. I also think this story is excellent. I really didn't expect Xiao Song to come up with such a good script."

Song Hao said with a smile, "Actually, I really want to film those Nantianmen and space shuttles online, but I don't have a general idea in my mind."

"Hahahaha." Director Chen said with a laugh, "The so-called South Heavenly Gate is just speculation by netizens. There is no South Heavenly Gate."

Old Yu chimed in, "Right, right, actually none of us have a South Heavenly Gate, but yours is really good. What's the name of this script?"

“The Wandering Earth,” Song Hao explained.

"How long will it take to film?" Lao Yu asked.

Song Hao thought for a moment and replied, "It will probably take more than half a year. There are a lot of special effects in the later stages, so it will probably be eight months from now next year."

After thinking for a moment, Lao Yu replied, "In that case, this drama is very likely to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday."

"If there's enough time, it should be possible."

"That's good!" Old Yu then looked at Director Chen: "Director Chen, if you need my help, I can do my part."

"That would be the best, of course," Director Chen said happily.

It's important to know that Lao Yu is not only an expert from the publicity department, but also a scientist with extensive knowledge of aerospace.

He can readily draw upon various theories.

If Lao Yu (Old Yu) is in charge of this production, he can feel much more at ease.

Therefore, Director Chen immediately decided: "Then we will fully cooperate with Director Song to film this movie, 'The Wandering Earth'."

He then asked, "I feel like this movie didn't quite tell the whole story."

Song Hao smiled and said, "Indeed, this is a series. If the movie is well received, we can continue to make a second and a third one."

“Very good, then it’s settled.” Director Chen was clearly impatient; he wanted to see what the finished film would look like when it was released this year.

The script for "The Wandering Earth" has been approved.

The space agency will also fully cooperate with Song Hao in preparing props.

Of course, the props mentioned certainly couldn't be flying in the sky.

However, they need to build a 1:1 replica of the space station.

Because the male lead has a lot of scenes on the space station.

Using only green screen effects would naturally fail to meet quality standards.

In addition, the simulator used during the filming of "The Captain" was excellent.

Originally, Song Hao planned to contact Director Dong of the Civil Aviation Administration.

After all, last time, Director Dong had Chang'an's aircraft manufacturing plant make a simulator.

Now he also wants Director Dong's help to build another simulated space station.

Unexpectedly, Lao Yu said directly, "We don't need the Civil Aviation Administration. Can't our space agency do it ourselves? Besides, we already have a model of a space station. Don't worry, I'll take care of all the problems with these props for you."

Song Hao hadn't expected that Lao Yu would only see mountains and not water.

Judging from his appearance, he must be a veteran expert who has been working in the space agency for a long time.

With the old expert's assurance, Song Hao's side felt no pressure at all.

While waiting, he quickly finished writing the script for "Ne Zha".

During this period, Song Hao had Zhang Xianfu contact about 20 animation and special effects companies in China.

When the special effects companies learned that Guoteng Media was about to produce a film with 80% special effects shots, they were all very surprised.

To understand what that means, you need to know that 80% of the shots are special effects.

This means that the film will cost tens of millions of dollars in production costs alone.

This does not include subsequent marketing and promotion costs.

The whole process will cost at least a small amount of money.

However, Guoteng Media seems to have the courage to disregard so-called costs and instead focus on creating a truly good movie.

This is also the film philosophy of Song Hao, the CEO of Guoteng Media.

These special effects companies were naturally very interested.

The movie "The Longest Day in Chang'an" became an instant hit in the Chinese market when it was released two years ago.

This has also brought a lot of fresh blood to the subject matter of subsequent animated films.

As the animation's special effects company, they naturally benefited from this as well.

Therefore, now that Guoteng Media wants to produce an animated film with amazing special effects, as a domestic special effects company, they definitely have to support them to the end.

After all, Song Hao didn't choose those well-known foreign special effects companies, but instead trusted domestic ones.

This trust alone is enough to warrant their serious efforts.

When Song Hao was creating "Ne Zha", the animation production department also became curious.

"What kind of story do you think President Song will tell us this time?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling it should be a very good story subject."

"I'm afraid it will be too difficult to understand Mr. Song's thoughts and thinking. If we don't create well, we'll be criticized."

"It's alright. When have you ever seen President Song swear at anyone? As long as we work hard, we can succeed last time, and we definitely can this time."

Just as everyone was discussing it...

After a week of seclusion, Song Hao finally finished writing "Ne Zha".

It's fair to say that he's been exhausted these past few days.

Writing two masterpieces in succession almost made him consider retiring and lying down.

However, he does feel that he needs to gradually relinquish some of his creative work in film and television.

Trust the directors and artists under your management.

Once the scripts are redeemed, their directors will handle the arrangements.

As the producer and supervisor, I can just keep an eye on things from time to time.

Soon, Song Hao showed the script for "Ne Zha" to the animation department.

Everyone was very excited at first.

"What story is it?"

"Let me see."

"Come, come, let me see."

When they learned that it was an animated story featuring Nezha as the protagonist, they were somewhat bewildered.

After all, since the beginning of animation, Nezha has always appeared as a protagonist or supporting character.

It's not that the image of Nezha is bad, but... it appears too often.

If the content isn't outstanding and is just average, it's hard for audiences to accept it.

But no one said anything.

Instead, he looked at the script in his hand.

Because for so long, they all knew that Song Hao's scripts were anything but mediocre!

Sure enough, they all started watching seriously, and the noise of conversation gradually decreased.

They grew increasingly astonished as they read. This content?!

This plot is incredible!

It's a completely different Nezha story.

Halfway through, Zhang Xianfu exclaimed excitedly, "This story!! It's amazing!!"

She looked up at Song Hao, and even had an urge to kiss him.

Song Hao chuckled and said, "Don't rush, finish reading first."

Zhang Xianfu controlled his emotions and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll read it."

He immediately continued watching.

Soon, everyone had finished reading.

Zhang Xianfu and the others looked at the Nezha character design in Song Hao's script and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"If we make Nezha according to this setting, I guess the first reaction of the audience watching the movie will be: Nezha is too ugly."

"It's okay if you think it's ugly, because what we're talking about is breaking down prejudices. Just like many people, once they see that it's a Chinese animation, they won't watch it; or if they watch it and think it's not bad, they'll automatically deduct 20 points from it."

"That's right, in the movie, it's correct to scold Nezha. As long as you say Nezha is a monster, people will follow suit."
Beyond movies, criticizing domestic films and animations has become acceptable; as long as you criticize them, people will like your posts.

One of the girls in the department explained, "Actually, Nezha is not a monster. He also wanted to subdue demons and monsters to clear his name and prove himself. Just like our domestic animations are not all bad movies, some people also want to make a masterpiece to prove themselves."

Song Hao then said to everyone, "This film has many special effects shots, but I hope you can create a special effects effect for the landscape painting yourself."

Because Song Hao knew that the scene depicted in the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" was truly imaginative and incredibly awe-inspiring, bringing to life objects that had previously only existed in imagination, and showcasing the boundless imagination of Chinese mythology to its fullest extent.

"If you can create this scene, it will be a visual feast for everyone."

These words ignited the passion of everyone in the animation production department present.

"no problem!!"

"Don't worry, Director Song, we will definitely be able to create a perfect 'Landscape Map'!"

"Let's keep going! (˙o˙)!!"

"come on!!"

Looking at everyone, Song Hao was quite pleased to see that they showed no fear: "Alright, then the 'Ne Zha' project will officially begin from now on!"

"come on!!"

……

The simultaneous launch of the projects for "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" kept Guoteng Media very busy.

And on the Internet.

Everyone started discussing Song Hao's next plans.

"Didn't Director Song say before that he was going to make a sci-fi trilogy?"

"Yeah, is the next movie going to be another sci-fi film?"

"I'm really looking forward to it, but a large-scale sci-fi movie like this must take one or two years to make, right?"

"I'll watch whatever Director Song films."

"Yes! I absolutely support Director Song!"

Just as everyone was discussing Song Hao's future creative plans, someone revealed that Guoteng Media was going to produce a large-scale animated film.

This news immediately caused a sensation.

"What? Weren't you saying you were going to make a sci-fi movie?"

"Yes, I remember Director Song said he was going to make a sci-fi trilogy!"

"Has the science fiction trilogy been turned into an animated film?"

"In the past two years, since the emergence of 'The Longest Day in Chang'an', there seem to be some good quality animated films."

"But I still think that 'The Longest Day in Chang'an' is the pinnacle of Chinese animation. Even Director Song would find it hard to recreate that peak, right?"

"I don't know if he can recreate his peak performance. I just want to say that if Director Song can make a movie of similar quality to 'The Longest Day in Chang'an,' I can accept it."

For a while, everyone was discussing it.

They were all waiting for Song Hao's answer.

However, before Song Hao could give a formal response, the space agency's official reply arrived.

The space agency will officially partner with Guoteng Media to produce a science fiction film series on space exploration. Please stay tuned.

This news caused an uproar among netizens.

"Wow, Song Hao's partner departments are getting more and more high-level, they've even reached the space agency!"

"A sci-fi movie from the space agency!! I love it!!"

"Really? That would be so hard to film in space!"

"You have to trust Director Song. He made such excellent disaster movies before, which were so difficult to make."

"Yes, we absolutely must trust Director Song!"

"Hey, that's strange. Someone previously leaked that Guoteng Media was going to produce a large-scale animated film. What's the story behind that?"

"That's definitely just bragging!"

"Damn it, you made me so nervous!"

"Let's go spray him to death!"

And so, a group of netizens went to the original owner's comments to complain.

You have to believe me!

"Director Song is really going to make a big-budget movie, I'm not kidding you!! This is reliable information!!"

The whistleblower is still trying to explain.

But no one believed it.

"You're just bragging."

"I shouldn't have trusted you guys!"

"That's hilarious! He's still trying to explain!"

Just when everyone thought the whistleblower was just bragging, Song Hao and Guoteng Media also released the latest news.

[Guoteng Media Animation Production is about to produce a large-scale animated film. Its brilliance will absolutely exceed your expectations! Please stay tuned!!]

After this official announcement, everyone finally believed that what the whistleblower had said was true.

"Holy crap!! It's true!!"

"We really want to make an animated movie!!"

"Awesome! That means we can work on two films simultaneously!!"

"In that case, when will it finally be released?!"

After learning that Guoteng Media had released the information, the whistleblower went to confront each of the trolls.

"Fuck you, apologize to me (>﹏<)!"

"Apologize to me, my revelations were correct!"

"Apologize to me right now!!!"

However, these trolls seemed to have vanished, offering no response to the whistleblower.

In no time, news of Song Hao's plans to create two films spread across the internet.

At the same time, it immediately became a trending topic.

At this point, everyone was very curious about what kind of science fiction film Song Hao would create, and what type of animation he would create.

Song Hao was not in a hurry to start filming "The Wandering Earth".

After all, it will take some time before the simulated space station can be restored to the appearance of "The Wandering Earth".

So after Song Hao handed the script for "Ne Zha" to Zhang Xianfu and his team, he began to guide the production.

At the beginning, Zhang Xianfu and his team drew the character of Nezha.

Zhang Xianfu already felt that the character of Nezha was unique enough.

But Song Hao put forward his own idea.

"Nezha's eyes could benefit from some dark circles."

"And you also need to have a bit of a reckless personality."

"You also need to look disdainful."

From the initial draft to Song Hao's final version of Nezha's character design, it was revised over a hundred times.

Only after confirming that the Nezha before him was the original version did Song Hao say with satisfaction, "This is the one."

When everyone saw this image of Nezha, they all gasped in shock.

Because the Nezha in front of us completely overturns the previous image.

But Song Hao firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with this role.

Soon, the official design for Nezha was revealed.

During this period, many netizens also expressed their curiosity.

"Do you have any posters or trailers? Please post them quickly so we can see them."

"Quickly, quickly, report on the progress!!"

"Yes, where are we now? Tell us quickly."

To meet everyone's expectations, Song Hao asked the animation production department to produce a character image of Nezha.

But after this picture was posted, netizens were stunned.

You...you call this Nezha?!
