The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Of course, Fan Zhe couldn't guess the mentality of the father at home, he was not at that age yet, and he didn't have any children of his own, so naturally it was impossible to understand his father's thoughts.

On that day, he did notice that his father's mood was a bit wrong, but Fan Qing was happy the next day, so he didn't care much about it.

After spending a few days with his family, Fan Zhe's focus returned to work.

In fact, he has been very busy with his work recently, and he was able to have two days of leisure, which is really thanks to the return of his parents.

But it's about getting back to work.

In addition to several ongoing work that required his attention, the company also had new projects to prepare.

There are two series projects that are already in the initial planning stage, so we can leave this aside for the time being, but the so-called main theme movie that was promised to be next must be launched as soon as possible.

At the beginning, Fan Zhe really didn't think clearly about how to make this 'main theme movie'.

The concept of "main theme" itself is very broad, not to mention that under this concept, it is even more difficult to make a movie with good quality, good reputation and box office.

Of course, there is another point that I have to say is that Fan Zhe had a certain amount of resistance to this matter at the beginning-he didn't go to work very much recently, and stayed at home with his parents, which is not unreasonable. The reason for this.

But something has to be done, especially when Fan Zhe has a good idea recently.

The main theme of the movie, in fact, is not necessarily so difficult to shoot, the key is to jump out of some stereotyped thinking.

In this regard, I have to praise Lao Mei again.

There is no doubt that Hollywood has the strongest film industry in the world. And their power, apart from the most iconic Hollywood blockbusters, other things should not be ignored.

Americans also know how to make movies with the main theme, but the style is completely different from the appearance of the main theme movies in China.

In fact, the main theme movie is very embarrassing. Basically, not only are their plots well-arranged and their endings predetermined, but more importantly, their themes to be expressed are always too clear.

Therefore, the main theme movie can easily fall into the dilemma of either chicken blood or chicken soup.

However, movies with the main theme can also impress people.

For example, the American film "Patriot's Day", which has a very good reputation, tells about the Boston terrorist attack. The whole movie has a very good cohesive effect on the spirit of the entire American society.

The Boston bombing brought kind-hearted people all over Boston, the United States, and even the world to stand together against terrorism. And the most important significance of this movie is to convey this spirit again and convey it to more people.

There is also a movie "Go Forward" that Fan Zhe watched before, and it is the same. This movie tells the story of 19 firefighters who were engulfed by the forest fire and sacrificed heroically in the 2013 Arizona fire because they did not leave enough safe space during the firefighting process.

The film is very tough, the main theme is really powerful, real heroes, and the tragic scene of the sacrifice of all the members at the end, Fan Zhe couldn't help crying when he watched it.

Of course, we have our own national conditions, and the main theme cannot be shot like this.

In fact, how can China lack heroes? Take the same disaster and the example of showing the heroic appearance of firefighters. Did the explosion in Tianjin also show our image of firefighters well?

However, can that thing be filmed... Even the news is not allowed to go into the details, let alone the movie, it will not pass the review at all.

This path is indeed a bit too difficult, not only technically, but also environmental issues must be considered. The environment of the two countries is different, and their cognition of the "main theme" is also different. Maybe you made a movie, and you thought it promoted positive energy and reflected the spirit of society, but people said that you ignored the facts, made rumors and made troubles, and refused to let it be released. Isn't that stupid?

But to change the way of thinking, what about "Wolf Warrior"? Or what about "The Wandering Earth"?

This may be a relatively more reliable idea.

First of all, it is very easy to succeed in business. If you don't talk about this spirit or that spirit, if the story is complete, the plot is positive, and the key is that the screen is explosive, then you can expect great results in business.

But when it comes to the film itself and the core of the story, Fan Zhe has certain concerns.

"The Wandering Earth" is okay, it is relatively restrained in this respect. But like "Wolf Warrior", the film is good, but the so-called patriotic sensationalism is indeed a bit too much.

"Operation Red Sea" is better than "Wolf Warrior" in this respect-of course, it is not much better, but "Operation Red Sea" spends more time in explosions and battles. The plot is very simple and sensational less.

This is not to say that patriotism is bad, Fan Zhe himself is a staunch patriot. It's just that if you go too far to be sensational on this thing, it will really be annoying.

The expression of the so-called "patriotism" and "main theme" should not just be embarrassing slogans and some embarrassing scenes in the movie.

Not to mention anything else, purely from the point of view of the film itself, doing it like that is not technical, and it is a bit low-level.

From Fan Zhe's understanding, this kind of thing should be directly portrayed in the movie, through the core things in the movie, such as the plot, story, and characters, to be told with an emotion, so that the audience can naturally feel something in it. Think and feel.

Since Dimension Group is bound to make a so-called 'main theme' movie, Fan Zhe, as the helm of the company and the top decision maker in terms of content, hopes that he can make a good work as much as possible.

After much consideration, Fan Zhe decided on the next theme - science fiction.

Holding a pen, drawing and drawing on the drawing board, I quickly drew a few sketches.

Space mines on asteroids; soldiers in exoskeleton armor with flags and national emblems on their arms; space pirates and terrorists...

This is the way Verzhe likes to think, and as his rough sketches grew, his ideas for the project became clearer.

Probably, this should be a anti-terrorism story of Chinese soldiers in the future, when human beings have just stepped into the starry sky.

The story is supposed to condense on a team of soldiers, Chinese soldiers, fighting the enemy in space.

There will be many stories in the middle, but in the end they showed what Chinese soldiers should look like, embodying the so-called "main theme".

As for the specific story... Fan Zhe didn't think about it anymore, he directly threw this concept to the screenwriting department of the company, the specific story outline and script creation were the responsibility of the screenwriters.
