Millennium director

The news that Wu Yuan's new movie is in preparation and is about to be launched soon spread throughout the domestic Internet.

It's not that the confidentiality work here at Light and Shadow Times is not done well, but that Li Xiaoping deliberately let the news out.

Although Wu Yuan's current fame and status means that his new movie can reach the top of the search without any publicity, but the prerequisite is that the public must know about it.

Wu Yuan's last Chinese film "Love Letter", although the box office performance is remarkable among Chinese romance films, and it slightly broke the box office record for Chinese romance films, but compared to Wu Yuan's previous films, to be honest, The influence is still narrow.

Romance movies are still too limited after all.

In the last century, romance films were mainstream films in major film markets around the world, but that was because the people who watched movies at that time were mainly young people aged 20-30.

At that time, watching movies was still regarded as a dating behavior, and it was a dating method for young people.

Therefore, most of the movies at that time had love as the main theme. Among the classic movies of the last century, five or six out of ten were romance movies.

But as time enters the new century, romance films are gradually no longer favored by the mainstream.

Watching movies has gradually become a favorite thing for all ages. Young people, children, middle-aged and elderly people all have the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies.

In this case, a movie that narrowly focuses on a single field of love is no longer suitable for the whole family to watch together, and it will be very embarrassing.

As a result, domestic comedy films have changed from a niche genre to a popular genre suitable for audiences of all ages.

In Hollywood, special effects blockbusters with brilliant special effects have become movies suitable for all ages.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the number of classic romance films has dropped sharply, and now it is impossible for romance films to become popular all over the world.

The miracle of "Titanic" can no longer be replicated.

Instead, there are various special effects blockbusters and comedy movies, which occupy the watch lists of most moviegoers.

It’s not that there aren’t good romance films made by good directors, it’s that romance films that only attract young couples are really unattractive when all ages can watch them.

Some domestic directors have not yet understood this truth, or they still love romance films and continue to be obsessed with this field.

But more knowledgeable people have turned to movies with higher appeal such as comedy, fantasy, and magic.

Under such circumstances, Wu Yuan contributed a romantic film "Love Letter" to movie fans after "Gravity". To be honest, it was not very satisfactory to his fans.

His fans want to see a special effects blockbuster!

It's a pity that Wu Yuan's new movie still doesn't have a special effects blockbuster this time.

Along with the news of Wu Yuan's new movie project, it is also known that his new movie will focus on real social themes and is a movie focusing on the social issue of child abduction and trafficking.

This news somewhat disappointed his fans.

Although child trafficking is an annoying thing, it is not the focus of Wu Yuan's fans.

Fans of Wu Yuan only want to watch special effects blockbusters, preferably IMAX 3D movies.

Except for Wu Yuan, other domestic directors simply cannot use this cutting-edge film technology, and they cannot produce special effects blockbusters that can compete with Hollywood.

Well, although "The Legend of Shushan Xiaxia" in the era of light and shadow is very exciting, it was all deliberately ignored by Wu Yuan's fans.

After all, this movie was not made by Wu Yuan.

"Why is Director Wu's new movie not a science fiction blockbuster?"

"'Dear'? Just looking at the news revealed, I feel like it's not my movie-watching preference anymore."

"Is this fake news? I don't believe it if it's not official news!"

"I heard that Director Wu has a special effects blockbuster in Hollywood that will be released globally, called "The Martian." It's already being promoted. Let's watch this movie then. It's a science fiction blockbuster!"

"Director Wu is biased. He makes special effects blockbusters in Hollywood, but ordinary 2D feature films in China!"

"Is there a possibility that science fiction is just a job, and literature and art is Director Wu's hobby? After all, the Chinese films he made before were all literary films. "Gravity" is the only Chinese science fiction film he made."

"No, I don't want Director Wu like this!"

"Wait, wait for the official announcement. Maybe this is fake news. Even if the news is true, Director Wu's movie is a must-see. I believe Director Wu's new movie will be just as exciting!"

I have to say that Wu Yuan's reputation has been strong enough for ten years.

Some netizens can say that they don't like Wu Yuan's movies or his style, but they absolutely cannot say that the movies made by Wu Yuan are bad.

Starting from the first "The Night the Comet Came", Wu Yuan has made double-digit movies in China and Hollywood, and none of them received more negative reviews than positive reviews when it was released.

His literary and artistic films can win awards, and his commercial films can win box office. Whether fans who like to watch his commercial films or those who like his artistic films are very satisfied with his works.

It's just that they are always quarreling privately, hoping to see Wu Yuan make more commercial or literary films. Why is it that Wu Yuan is only one person and cannot satisfy two types of movie fans at the same time.

And this time, based on the information revealed, the movie "Dear" is obviously a literary-oriented movie.

Fans of Wu Yuan's commercial films were of course wailing and disappointed, but fans of his artistic films were immediately in high spirits.

Although the domestic literary and artistic film market has almost disappeared, it is precisely this situation that makes the few remaining literary and artistic film lovers in the country look forward to the emergence of excellent Chinese-language literary and artistic films.

They even don’t dare to hope for pure literary and artistic films now, even if they are literary and artistic films that compromise with business, as long as there are new films, it is a good thing.

The movie "Dear", as soon as you look at the name and subject matter, it feels like a literary film.

Even if they are not fans of Wu Yuan, as long as they are fans of literary films, they are all cheering and cheering on the Internet.

It's just that their voices are not too loud, and they are easily overwhelmed by fans of Wu Yuan's commercial films.

However, these uproar on the Internet did not affect Wu Yuan at all.

Now Wu Yuan has long been separated from the influence of fans, and the words of fans can no longer sway him. No one can stop him from making whatever movie he wants. It can be said that he is unfettered and free.

Having decided to film "Dear", he is now busy contacting actors and forming a crew.

After interviewing Tan Zhuo, he was very satisfied with Tan Zhuo's performance and decided on Tan Zhuo to play the heroine on the spot.

At the same time, he also invited husband and wife Xia Yu and Yuan Quan to guest star, and together with Huang Bo and Wang Xun, the main actors of this movie are basically complete.

However, what Wu Yuan didn't expect was that just when he was about to call the actors for a meeting, a phone call from Zhang Yimou disrupted his work rhythm. (End of chapter)
