Chapter 332
An editor has to read dozens or hundreds of them.
And now, Li Qingxian alone occupies the positions of four editors-in-chief and one president of the entire magazine!
This shows how important Li Qingxian is to Sanjiang Publishing House.
It took them less than half an hour to read through a text of more than 20,000 words.
At first, they were a little skeptical about Li Qingxian's scientific fantasy.
Because China's science fiction circle has always been known as the "science fiction black hole".
There are not many that are truly usable.
However, when they read the first chapter of "Wandering Blue Planet", they were completely attracted.
The sun is about to disappear, and people are making their last struggle.
All human beings will unite and leave this planet called "Blue Planet"!
Just thinking about it makes people sigh.
Professor Li has such a rich imagination!
What happens next is simply amazing.
The four editors-in-chief all sighed and shook their heads.
"As expected of Professor Li, Professor Li is truly admirable."
“Even if it’s just half a chapter, it’s enough to give us a glimpse into the future of the science fiction world.”
"It's better to meet in person than to hear about him. I used to doubt Mr. Li's paintings, but now I think about it, I am really ashamed."
"Our president has also made a great contribution this time. Thanks to the president, we can become friends with Professor Li."
Yin Pingqing's face was full of joy.
He is proud of his good relationship with Li Qingxian.
Their publishing house is not a big company.
If all publishers are divided into three grades: A, B and C.
They should only be around B level.
As a result, Li Qingxian pushed all these people to the A-level with his movie "Fortress Besieged"!
"Please take a look at this book first. If there is anything that needs improvement, I will tell Professor Li." Yin Pingqing said.
The editors all agreed.
As a result, it wasn't long before everyone was dumbfounded.
"This...it seems there is nothing more to say..."
"Well, I think it's great, not a word."
“We just need to add some illustrations to this edition and then we can buy it online.”
"Isn't Professor Li going too far? It seems like it has nothing to do with us."
……
At noon, Yin Pingqing sent the message to Li Qingxian.
It says, Review Completed.
All that was left was to have the artists draw some illustrations and then send them to the factory for reprinting.
After a series of promotions, the game can be launched.
This time, the main work of Sanjiang Literature and Art Publishing House is basically centered around "The Wandering Blue Planet".
Therefore, this period of time will be exceptionally short.
Li Qingxian didn't take it seriously at all. After saying a few words to a few people, he hung up the phone.
"Wandering Blue Planet" is pretty good, but this is true.
However, what he cared more about was the changes this time.
Of course, this is just a side benefit.
There is nothing to hesitate about.
Compared with "The Wandering Blue Planet", "The Three-Body Problem" is obviously the biggest science fiction movie.
However, Li Qingxian's vision at this time was completely outside this circle.
Therefore, he didn't want to do it.
……
The second night.
Li Qingxian called Jin Mingjun's number and asked him about the current plot developments.
Jin Mingjun did not disappoint his expectations and did everything he could do very well.
But it wasn't what he thought.
Many places need to be changed, including the main plot.
Fortunately, Li Qingxian had Jin Mingjun as the protagonist, so Jin Mingjun's transformation work was very successful.
Jin Mingjun asked worriedly, "But, Mr. Li, do you really want to make a science fiction film?"
Li Qingxian smiled slightly, "Why, can't we make a science fiction film?"
"Alas." Chu Feng sighed. Jin Mingjun sighed and said, "It's not impossible, but the cost of an excellent science fiction film is really too high. If the investment fails, won't we lose everything?"
Li Qingxian asked back: "Which kind of film do you think is guaranteed to make money?"
"Uh," Jin Mingjun was choked and speechless.
Li Qingxian said calmly: "Do you mean that I should avoid those science fiction films known as 'science fiction black holes'?"
"If I don't do this, and neither of you do it, when will China's film and television industry be able to develop?"
Chinese film and television works.
Soar??
As soon as these words came out, Jin Mingjun felt that his soul had been greatly elevated.
Just when he was still immersed in the darkness of the movie and thought that the box office of the movie would plummet.
Director Li already has an idea, which is to lead China's film industry to glory!
Li is the pattern?
This is strength!
He and Director Li have never been on the same level.
Jin Mingjun suddenly felt ashamed.
……
3 month 11 day.
Sanjiang Literature and Art Publishing House officially promoted "The Wandering Blue Planet".
In subway stations across the country, publicity for "The Wandering Blue Planet" was overwhelming.
The title is simple: "Professor Li's latest work, the pinnacle of science fiction films, The Wandering Blue Planet, has started pre-sale."
The brief is simple: Get the blue planet out of the solar system.
Suddenly, Li Qingxian's fans became excited.
"Has Mr. Li published a book?"
"That's amazing! I'll wait and see!"
"Why science fiction? Isn't this Professor Li's best subject?"
"Haha, I'm used to it."
"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised even if Professor Li were to publish a supernatural novel."
"I ordered it, but as expected, there were only two spots available for Mr. Li's new book."
"I've never heard of anyone buying limited edition novels."
"Everyone knows how popular Mr. Li's book is. If it's not sold in limited quantities, many people won't be able to get it."
This is in stark contrast to Li Qingxian's fans.
Everyone was talking about it, and everyone had their own opinions.
Meager people.
"Did you know that Li Qingxian is going to publish a book?"
"Of course, he advertises at the station, in the station, and here in our place."
"With all the publicity, it seems that the publishing house attaches great importance to Li Qingxian's new work this time."
"The previous work, Fortress Besieged, has such a good foundation that it will definitely attract the attention of the publisher."
"I also love to read Li Qingxian's novels. As soon as this novel came out, I gave him a thumbs up."
fans.
"Did you know that Li Qingxian is going to publish a new novel?"
"I was just saying, you came from Mars, right?" "u1s1, Li Qingxian's novel is really good, come get a copy when it comes out."
"Haha, who would go and see this kind of crappy stuff?"
"666, you have a really big mouth."
"If you have the guts, why don't you do it? Why didn't you make "Fortress Besieged"?"
"who do you think You Are?"
"Silly boy." Ye Zichen snorted.
A Zhihu netizen.
"Li Qingxian recently published a book called "The Wandering Blue Planet", which is a very popular science fiction novel. I wonder what everyone thinks of it?"
"Thanks for the invitation. He is in the United States now. He just came back from there and just finished his PhD."
"I think that the current domestic science fiction film industry is already a half-dead industry. Entering the science fiction film industry now is simply seeking death."
“However, it is possible that Li Qingxian can really do a good science fiction novel, but the possibility is really too low.
"Throughout history, there have been many great science fiction writers, but they all failed."
"Li Qingxian may be trying to improve himself and attract more attention under such circumstances."
"But if he loses, it will be a lifetime of shame."
"I can only say that he played this trick very badly. It would be better for him to do more orthodox literary works."
"Anyway, I don't have much confidence in him, so I advise you to be rational."
This person's words immediately received tens of thousands of likes.
Many well-known authors and writers also took this opportunity to analyze the matter.
On this point, most people hold a similar view to that of the doctoral student on Zhihu.
They did not hold out much hope for Li Qingxian's decision.
I think this move of his was a bad one.
The most important thing is that domestic science fiction movies are all called "black holes".
This is a situation where no matter where you go, you will be killed instantly.
How could Li Qingxian alone make science fiction come alive all of a sudden?
However, there are also many people who support Li Qingxian.
People like Liao Tingzuo and Zhong Hua were both presidents of the Beijing Poetry Society.
Shen Sixun, a calligrapher from Beijing.
Wang Tuzhi is a master in calligraphy.
Several bigwigs expressed their support for Li Qingxian on Weibo.
However, Li Qingxian did not appear in the capital.
He and his crew have already set off.
……
3 month 13 day.
Li Fei's company held another round of auditions.
Li Fei's studio became famous overnight because of "Wolf Warrior".
This is a well-known fact in the entertainment industry.
So, when Li Fei's studio announced that it was recruiting, a large number of brokerage companies and celebrities flocked over!
Among them are some popular stars, who even approached them directly and wanted to join their new films.
But Li Qingxian's answer was consistent: "Okay, then wait outside."
This move undoubtedly scared away some arrogant stars.
"Haha, what a big rack."
"He just starred in a hit movie, and that's all he has accomplished."
"I don't care. With such a bad team, my next play will definitely suck."
But apart from them.
But there are still many artists waiting in line outside the door.
Some people from the "Wolf Warrior" crew also came.
When Li Qingxian saw Niu Dachuan who came to apply for the job, he was immediately happy: "Old Niu, the company won't poach you, will it?"
Niu Dachuan chuckled and replied, "Many companies called me, but in the end I thought about it and didn't sign the contract. It was too annoying."
According to Li Qingxian, with the huge sales of "Wolf Warrior", this movie has become a hit.
A large number of people in "Wolf Warrior" were hired by various film and television companies at high prices.
Li Qingxian was actually also wondering whether he should put them first.
Anyway, they are all the same people, so it is more useful.
But thinking about it carefully, he couldn't do that.
Although there were many people coming to audition, the overall strength has been greatly improved.
It took Li Qingxian less than a week to pick out all these people.
……
3 month 19 day.
Oriental Pictures.
Li Qingxian has rented ten studios in the Eastern Film Park, covering an area of nearly 120 square meters!
Such a scene shocked all of Li Fei's staff!
This time, Director Li is going to do something big!
For a moment, everyone's blood was boiling.
What does it mean?
Doesn't that mean his workload will increase several times?
Also, what does it mean that your workload has doubled?
That's double the salary!
Nothing could make you so excited except a pay raise.
“Transportation vehicles, underground cities, and space stations all require real scenes and cannot use Ren Li’s technology.”
"Director Cai, we must use the production method of VR glasses to assist in the set design, so as to ensure that our film will not appear fake like Ren Li did."
"Besides, we only have 2000 shots now, which is still a long way from 8000 shots. A 10-minute animation preview period will take at least half an hour."
"Specific work plans and specific plans must be done well, and all work must be done well."
Li Qingxian is here and has assigned tasks to everyone.
Cai Zimang was startled and immediately broke out in a sweat.
"Director Li, I understand why you want to use VR to make the movie more realistic, but storyboarding requires more than 8,000 shots, and a 30-minute preview period, isn't that a bit of a waste of resources?"
Most films will have several shots before shooting begins.
For example, "Wolf Warrior", they have made about a thousand movies.
As for those ordinary films, most of them only have one hundred to five hundred movies, which is already very good.
Moreover, Cai Zimang asked them to make more than 2,000 shots in advance!
But even so, Director Li is not satisfied.
That’s eight thousand at a time!
This is simply unbelievable!
Li Qingxian shook his head: "This is also a way to improve work efficiency. This process is very important and cannot be sloppy."
Cai Zimang really wanted to tell them that there was no need to be so anxious.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back and make arrangements."
Cai Zimang is indeed very efficient.
It didn't take long for him to arrange everything.
In less than two weeks, everything was done.
Cai Zimang had prepared everything for him, even the protective clothing and special props he needed.
Early April.
Everything is ready, "The Wandering Blue Planet" is finally about to start filming!
……
Time flies and ten days have passed.
Studio 12.
Li Qingxian said: "Cai Dao, you guys, go to the No. 17 filming base first. We will come over after the filming here is finished."
Cai Zimang was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Isn't this good? If I'm gone, there will only be two people left."
Li Qingxian laughed: "You mean, I'm not a qualified director?"
"Uh..." Cai Zimang suddenly understood what was going on.
