Su Han said, "I've called you here to shoot a sci-fi movie."
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen immediately became happy.
"Shooting a sci-fi movie, that would be truly fantastic."
"Sect Master Su Han, I've also achieved some accomplishments in cultivation. I can combine technology and cultivation. Then we'll definitely be able to shoot a great movie."
Su Han shook his head, "No, no, we can't combine cultivation and sci-fi. This movie is a pure sci-fi film."
Ju Xiuneng asked, "How do you want to shoot this sci-fi movie?"
Yang Wen changed his address to Su Han, saying, "Minister Su Han, then we won't combine cultivation. How will this sci-fi movie be shot? Do you have a script?"
Su Han said, "A script? I haven't written a script. However, the content of this movie is roughly as follows. You two listen carefully and record it. Oh, right. You should turn on the recorder. Otherwise, you'll forget it after you go back."
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen quickly took out their satellite phones and turned on the recording function.
"Minister Su Han, please speak!"
Then, Su Han began to talk about the general outline of the movie.
Su Han said, "This movie is roughly about how, after artificial intelligence develops to a high level, all kinds of human work are replaced by robots. But one day, the artificial intelligence that controls the robots develops self-awareness. Then the artificial intelligence controls the robots to rebel against humanity. Humanity is defeated step by step, and in the end, humanity is annihilated by artificial intelligence. This movie can be shot as a series. The story should extend into the universe. Humans and robots will fight on planets and also in space. It will be shot directly as a trilogy. But in the first movie, humanity must fail. In the trilogy, humans will fight robots in various ways, and even aliens will join humanity's side. But humans will ultimately lose to the robots. After the robots annihilate humanity, they will begin to expand into the universe. This sci-fi movie is roughly like this. Do you understand?"
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen nodded, "Understood."
Next, the two directors, Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen, asked again, "Minister Su Han, is there anything else? For example, regarding the selection of actors?"
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen wanted to confirm other matters. After all, the director who had just left was one of them.
Su Han said without thinking, "The actors must be chosen well. We need to find actors with acting skills."
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes. Then, how much is the investment for this movie? Who among us two will be the main director and who will be the assistant director?"
Su Han said, "Let's tentatively set the funding at one billion yuan for now. You will be the main director, and Yang Wen will be the assistant director. You must prevent Yang Wen from adding elements of cultivation to the movie."
Ju Xiuneng nodded, "Yes!"
Ju Xiuneng was very happy, as he would be the main director.
Yang Wen could only accept this task with a sense of helplessness and joy. After all, being invited by Minister Su Han to make a movie was a great opportunity. Now that Long Guo had migrated to this world from the other world, their main focus was on major construction. There was much less focus on culture and entertainment. After migrating to these worlds, very few movies were made in a year. And after they were made, they could only be broadcast on television and the internet. Not many cinemas were built. Of course, there wasn't much box office revenue.
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen left happily.
Ye Fan escorted them when they left.
Su Han naturally didn't have time to supervise Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen filming the movie. This matter fell to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan took the two directors, Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen, to a bank branch.
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen asked strangely, "Mr. Ye Fan, why have you brought us here?"
Ye Fan said, "Of course, I've brought you to collect money. Filming a movie costs one billion, so here's one hundred million yuan for now. Use this money to assemble a film crew."
Ye Fan walked into the branch.
The staff at the bank branch saw Ye Fan and quickly went to inform the person in charge of the branch.
The person in charge of the bank branch quickly came out and flattered Ye Fan, "Director Ye, may I know what brings you here?"
Ye Fan had already left the military and become a director in the Otherworld Development Department.
Ye Fan took out a check and said, "Transfer one hundred million yuan to the accounts of these two directors."
The bank branch staff took the check and verified the signature, "This is Minister Su Han's check."
Ye Fan said, "That's right, it's Minister Su Han's check. What's wrong? Can't you cash out just one hundred million yuan?"
"We can, of course, we can! Minister Su Han's check certainly has more than this amount. We can disburse it now. Please provide the bank accounts of these two directors."
Ye Fan turned around and said, "You two great directors, please provide your accounts!"
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen provided their accounts. Since they already had companies, they provided corporate accounts. Thus, fifty million yuan was deposited into each of their corporate bank cards. For a normal company, the money wouldn't be transferred so quickly.
The money used this time was from Su Han's account. Every bank in Long Guo had Su Han's money. Because Su Han had too much money, it had to be dispersed to each bank to hedge risks and prevent financial instability in Long Guo caused by Su Han withdrawing large sums of cash.
After receiving the money, the two directors, Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen, happily went to assemble the film crew.
Within a day, they assembled the rest of the crew members.
Then, they took the list of national-level actors in Long Guo to select actors.
When they called to contact those actors, some actors were not very willing to come. However, after they mentioned Su Han's name, they all expressed their willingness to participate.
But how could Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen decide so quickly? They also stated that even if they came, they would still have to audition.
Many actors were sought, and a script was needed. The two directors hired more than a dozen sci-fi screenwriters in the industry to start writing the script.
While writing the script, they interviewed actors. Some actors, knowing that Su Han was investing in the movie, came to recommend themselves even without being notified by the two directors.
However, Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen, remembering Su Han's words, rejected many actors who lacked acting skills.
Seven days later, the screenwriters hired by the two directors, Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen, had also finished writing the script, with over ten of them contributing.
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen took the script to show Su Han.
Su Han said, "Why are you so slow? It's been seven days, and you've only finished the script?"
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen said embarrassedly, "Minister Su Han, this script required a lot of content. The screenwriters we invited revised it many times."
Su Han spent a few seconds reading the script of over one hundred thousand characters. After all, he was a cultivator in the Transformation Stage. Reading over one hundred thousand characters in a second was very easy.
"The first two thousand characters of this script are ready for filming. However, there are still too few space battles in the latter part. The robots' strength also needs to be strengthened. Can we start filming tomorrow?"
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen saw Su Han's impatience and said, "Okay, okay, okay, we'll start filming tomorrow immediately."
Su Han continued, "Then finish filming the first part within a month. It will be released on the first of next month."
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen said, "But there are only twenty days left until the first of next month."
Su Han ignored their words and said, "It's settled then. I'll come to see your filming tomorrow."
