Chapter 447
If "The Martian" was taken out before, Cao An might not have filmed it.
After all, some things are just wishful thinking before they happen.
But the country's space industry has become stronger and stronger in recent years.
Our astronauts feel like going home when they enter the space station.
America was originally sent up to work for a few days, but now they have to stay for more than half a year.
They may not come back.
They are still hanging in the sky now.
What's the big deal about two sixty-year-olds floating in space all day?
Now the country's space industry can be said to be the first echelon in the world.
It is reasonable and logical to shoot a theme like "The Martian" at this time.
As for The Wandering Earth and The Three-Body Problem, these two films are completely parallel worlds.
Their timelines are completely different from reality.
But The Martian is different, and its setting is that it takes place in the near future.
The National Space Administration has strict management, and Cao An's car cannot drive in.
However, Song Zhengyu was at the door to receive them and led the way all the way, so Cao An was not afraid of getting lost.
The leaders of the General Administration supported this cooperation.
They also asked two first-line engineers to help Fanxing improve the settings.
One of them is Zhong Yinghuai, the deputy commander of the Mars exploration mission.
Zhong Yinghuai is about the same age as Cao An's mother. Because she works indoors for a long time, her skin looks very fair.
But I don't know if it's because she hasn't seen the sun for a long time, and it's a little yellow.
She gives people a kind and amiable feeling.
She also asked Cao An to call her Auntie Zhong.
It can be imagined how much support the General Administration has for Fanxing.
The cooperation plan is the same as the previous Wandering Earth.
The contract was signed quickly.
For this cooperation, Song Zhengyu is responsible for the contact between the two parties, and Zhong Yinghuai is responsible for technical guidance.
Cao An first briefly told the general story of "The Martian".
After Cao An finished speaking, Zhong Yinghuai said:
"Xiao Cao, I will talk about something professional."
"Aunt Zhong, you go ahead."
"First, the big storm at the beginning of your story is impossible. The atmosphere of Mars is only 1% of that of the Earth. Conventional storms cannot blow down the returner at all."
"Big storms do happen frequently on Mars, but due to the low air density, it is equivalent to a breeze on Earth."
"Second, the protagonist's way of getting water for planting is too wasteful and too dangerous. In fact, we have already found that there is water, even liquid water, under the rock formations on Mars.
If it is really possible to land on Mars with people and establish a base, drilling equipment will definitely be carried."
"Also, the protagonist's way of getting raw potatoes does not need to be so complicated. Our country's exploration missions have always been conducting experiments on planting alien crops, so the corresponding seeds will definitely be carried."
"There are also unreasonable places in other aspects, but I think it is qualified as a movie."
"Fortunately, I found you, Aunt Zhong, otherwise I don't know how to deal with these."
Cao An had no dissatisfaction with Zhong Yinghuai's opinions. He came to the Space Administration for cooperation just for this.
"This is just my opinion from a scientific perspective, but you are an expert in how to make a movie. Even if I shoot it according to the story you just told me, I think it is very exciting and qualified."
"Okay, I will revise it later and ask Aunt Zhong for advice when the time comes."
The script is temporarily discussed here, "Next, let's discuss the design of the spacecraft and the Mars base."
...
During this period, Cao An has been traveling back and forth between the National Aerospace Headquarters and Fanxing.
The security guys at the headquarters are familiar with Cao An, and they open the door for him in advance every time he comes.
While Cao An is working with the Space Administration to polish the script and art settings, Fanxing Film and Television is also making various preparations.
Among them, Fanxing Amusement Park has also opened a new construction site.
Construction of the Mars base.
Mainly the construction of the base and the surrounding areas, all according to the data obtained by Cao An from the National Space Administration.
This will also be the place where the movie is shot.
The protagonist's shooting of other places on Mars is done on Earth.
The Earth is so big, there are all kinds of landforms, and there is always one that fits the landform of Mars.
The system gave several places in the shooting knowledge, and Cao An went to investigate when he was almost ready.
September.
Cao An finally did not go to the Space Administration.
During this period, he completed the design of the interior and exterior of the Kuafu spacecraft.
The design of the Tianwen Mars base and surrounding facilities.
These detailed drawings are naturally not the design drawings of the real interstellar spacecraft and Mars base.
The plan over there is not so fast, and there is no design drawing at all.
These are designed based on the actual scientific research direction combined with film art.Not to say it will be exactly the same as the future.
But at least it fits the current imagination.
After returning to the company, Cao An handed the design to Zhang Zhiye, the head of the props department.
He asked him to start making various props needed for filming.
After returning, Cao An also heard an interesting story from Zhang Changyu.
That is, domestic players actually united with Oasis players from all over the world to start a revolution in Night City.
A branch was established in a formal manner.
Leading the players to overthrow the rule of the desert version over Night City.
Because Night City has a ban on extraordinary weapons, it is very dangerous for players to be lone wolves in Night City.
So everyone started to stick together.
In addition, many people who have played Cyberpunk 2077 and watched Cyberpunk Edgewalker sneered at Night City.
First, domestic players spontaneously united together and conquered a piece of territory in Night City.
And named it the Red Zone.
Attracted many NPCs to live in it.
After learning about this, overseas players also conquered a place and named it the Land of Light.
But the management here is very chaotic, and the NPCs here are no different from those in Night City.
Not long after, they were beaten down by the police of Night City.
Overseas players suffered a heavy blow.
Slowly, overseas players joined the Red Zone.
Here they saw a completely different management method.
It can be regarded as a cultural shock.
Then the players in the Red Zone prepared to conquer the entire Night City step by step, and make the city a bright and clear world.
Now the video of the Red Zone of the Night City world is very popular on the Internet.
After listening to Zhang Changyu's description, Cao An smiled slightly: "Did you do it?"
"The NPCs in Night City are all equipped with AI, and we just made some subtle guidance."
Zhang Changyu said with a smirk.
"Well done, it's time to let those foreigners see the charm of oriental culture."
...
Since The Martian involves space scenes, many things need training, so Cao An prepared to start the actor recruitment process after the preliminary work began.
September 6, Friday.
Fanxing Film and Television released a recruitment information to the industry.
