Chapter 283: Write a letter to the Space Agency!

2004 is still a new beginning. The Chinese New Year has just passed, and too much discussion is about the performances of the Spring Festival Gala.

And the events of 2003 have not yet faded away.

Last year, there were several major events that were discussed by the public, whether it was Chen An and the Golden Horse Awards or the death of a Hong Kong daughter, they were all related to the entertainment industry.

What really attracted the attention of the entire nation was undoubtedly the success of manned space flight!
It has realized the Chinese nation’s thousand-year-old dream of flying into space and is a new milestone for China’s aerospace industry in the new century!

This marks that China has become the third country after the former Soviet Union and the United States to independently master manned space technology!

It is no exaggeration to say that the whole country is celebrating!

New year, new atmosphere. After criticizing the Golden Horse Awards, Chen An appeared in front of the media again after appearing at his daughter’s funeral in Hong Kong!

Speaking on behalf of Lightyear Media:

“A letter to all Chinese people and all viewers:

Last October, the much-anticipated manned space flight successfully launched, landed and was recovered, heralding the opening of a new chapter in China's space industry. I am as passionate as you all. I would like to thank all those who have contributed to China's space industry. It is you who have made this achievement possible. History will not forget you and will praise you forever!
Since then, I have been thinking, since the space industry has entered a new chapter, what about Chinese-language films? Should there be something new?

Various types of films are emerging one after another, and the market is gradually prospering, but the only thing missing is science fiction films that are popular in the global market. Hollywood uses this to promote the power of the United States, and we can only see each other's figures in the movies, watching them travel through the universe and leading everything, but there is no figure of ourselves!

The success of manned space flight indicates that we will soon master space, and we should also be seen in space!
Therefore, Lightyear Media will produce a science fiction work that highly condenses our own wisdom and spirit this time!
The success of the Olympic bid also means that we will soon attract the attention of the whole world, and this time I want to fire the first shot!
Let all the countries in the world recognize our new style and new look first!

We will work with the China Space Administration to refer to and modify the film and produce our own hardcore space science fiction movie "The Martian"!
It is jointly produced by Lightyear Media, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group and Xi'an Film Group, with the China Aerospace Administration participating in the script revision and creation, and I will be the director.

Let them see that the sleeping lion has awakened and the napping dragon has raised its head again!

Let’s leave our own footprint in the space occupied by the beautiful country!

Give it a whole new look! ”

Chen An took the letter he had prepared long ago and recited it in front of all the media gathered!

The media present opened their mouths in shock!

What did I just hear?
Jointly with the Chinese Space Agency? !
Now it's here, what big move have you been holding back on? !
Not long after the Chinese New Year, Chen An dropped a bombshell on the people of the country!

In addition to announcing the project launch of the new film, it is a true hardcore space science fiction film, making it the first truly hardcore science fiction film in Chinese!
An even more explosive news was also revealed, that the Chinese Space Administration was also involved in the production!

What kind of magical production team is this?!

"Fuck! You're not serious?!"

"Scream it out! This is the first real hardcore science fiction work in China with the participation of the Chinese Space Agency. It's not a fake like 'Time and Space Clues'!"

"Chen An: I've made my move, Jin Ma, say something? Say something?!"

"Directed and written by Chen An himself, and edited and produced by the Chinese Space Agency, what a fantastic lineup! I can't even imagine it!"

"Is it finally coming? It's a carnival moment for domestic movie fans. Chen Gou is about to release a Chinese commercial blockbuster after two years, and it's a science fiction work! For a science fiction fan like me, is there any better news than this!"

"Didn't you, Chen An, hit so hard? You've already pulled the Space Administration over with just a little Golden Horse. Is that true?"

"Chen An made the speech himself. It was written in such detail. With so many media reports, it can't be fake."

"I knew this guy had a big plan, just the name of the movie, what about the rest? What about the cast? Didn't you hide it from me?!" "."

The media reports directly set off an uproar in the entire country, including both audiences and practitioners.

"Is it true?" Wang Jinghua felt a little unbelievable when reading the media reports.

It is understandable that everyone needs to leave the army, as many veterans came from here. However, Chen An’s collaboration with the China Space Agency this time is unique!
I immediately planned to get up and ask around. It was such a big project, such a huge piece of meat, I had to bite off a piece myself, even if it meant playing a supporting role!

Zhang Weiping looked at the report in his hand and threw it away, "I knew this kid couldn't hold his fart well!"

To be honest, I still feel a little weak if I go head-to-head with Chen An.

The production budget of "House of Flying Daggers" is not small, and the subsequent publicity and promotion funds are also a bottomless pit, so we can't go head-to-head.

Fortunately, it was just an announcement of the project, and I don’t think it will affect me.

He did not doubt whether the opponent he had always valued could get help from the Space Agency, but he did not know that Chen An did not take him seriously at all.

Feng Xiaogang couldn't sit still after hearing the news. "No, we have to start filming quickly. It's not a good idea for the two CEOs Huang to keep dragging it out like this. If we happen to run into Chen An, I won't be sure of anything."

As someone who came here with Chen An, he felt that facing Chen An directly was absolutely an irrational idea.

Especially now that he has fewer works shot in China, every time he shoots something it’s scary!

Previously, "My Sassy Girl" broke the 100 million mark, and then "Chronicles of Time" broke 200 million. Will it break 300 million this time?

I was hoping that this movie would bring me into the billion-dollar directors club, but if it fails miserably, I’ll probably fail!
Huang Zhongjun couldn't help but rub his eyebrows when looking at the report. Chen An also included him this time, but after hearing the preliminary forecast of the production budget, he backed down. Now all his focus is on Feng Xiaogang.

After hearing the estimated cost of 50 million US dollars, I felt that I was willing but unable to afford it, so I backed out.

No matter what, we have to start filming as soon as possible and can't delay any longer. We have to make sure it can be released this year. If we delay it, we might have to face Chen An directly.

After all, there are only a few popular schedules in China nowadays, and there is an 80% chance that the other party will be in the Lunar New Year schedule.

"Brother, make a phone call. We can't delay the movie any longer."

Huang Zhongjun said to Huang Zhonglei seriously that he didn't want to delay any longer.

Feng Xiaogang saw that the other party was also anxious, so he breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, he had to get it done quickly.

Just two days after Chen An released it.

A representative of the China Space Administration also responded to the doubts and said that it was indeed involved in the cooperation with Lightyear Media and jointly participated in the production of the movie "The Martian"!
The confirmed news quickly spread across the country!

The film project has just been approved and the name has become known to everyone even before the actors have been decided. Even the old men chatting under the locust tree at the corner of the alley can say a few words about it. The country is going to make a space movie to commemorate last year's manned space launch!
Audiences who like the movie and want to watch it almost flooded the Internet with anticipation.

The reason why this has been achieved is that Chen An’s films have been as successful as ever, whether they are Chinese-language films or Hollywood films, they have all been successful one after another!

The real credit goes to the Space Agency’s confirmed participation, which made everyone feel Chen An’s seriousness this time!

This is definitely a big move that has been accumulated for a long time!
