Millennium director

Peng Yuchang, Liu Yifei, Yuan Hong, Zhu Yawen, Jinsha, Chen Daoming, Sun Honglei.

These seven are the main cast of "Ready Player One" selected by Wu Yuan.

The first five are the protagonists of justice, and the last two are the founder of "Oasis" and the villain boss.

As for the female subordinate under the villain boss, that is, the management of IOI Company, Wu Yuan plans to let Wang Likun play it.

It has to be said that Wang Likun is indeed suitable for playing the role of a beautiful agent, similar to her classic role in "Agent Team Five".

She is beautiful but very cool, and her heroic appearance is very attractive.

The remaining minor supporting roles, such as the gang members led by the heroine in reality who resisted IOI Company, various IOI soldiers, etc., and the villain's secretary and other personnel.

Then Wu Yuan doesn't need to worry about it personally, the casting director of the crew will be responsible for filling these minor supporting roles.

Wu Yuan invited only the above seven people to attend the script seminar. Even Wang Likun did not come because the role she was trying out was not a decisive factor for the main plot. She was just a tool.

Well, it was similar to the female villain with a mantis knife leg played by Liu Yifei in "Kingsman: The Golden Circle".

The first week after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The script seminar of "Ready Player One" was officially held, and everyone gathered in the medium-sized conference room on the 12th floor of Light and Shadow Times.

Looking at the people who were all present, Wu Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat, was very satisfied.

Although these people cannot be said to be the best actors in the mainland entertainment industry, they are exactly the most suitable actors for this movie.

Well, except for Jinsha, this girl was forced in by the company. After all, if you don't count Liu Yifei, the boss lady, she is the number one sister of the company, and she has to show her face in Wu Yuan's movie.

By the way, Zhu Yawen is the number one brother.

Zhu Yawen, who holds the male lead of the commercial blockbuster "The Legend of Shushan Fairy Heroes" in this life, is not the little punk in the previous life.

He is currently the actor with the highest cumulative box office among the post-80s male actors in the industry, and he is also the most popular actor. When the industry counts the four young actors, he is always ranked first.

Now, the ones who can be compared with him at the same level are the middle-aged male actors born in the 70s, such as Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming.

Zhu Yawen is absolutely very satisfied with such achievements when he is less than 30 years old, so he has a strong sense of belonging to the company and actively cooperates with the company's arrangements.

Even if he can't play the leading role in "Ready Player One" this time, and even has to share a role with a little boy (Hu Xianxu), he has no complaints.

Yes, Zhu Yawen plays Xiu in "Oasis" in "Ready Player One" this time.

Unlike Spielberg's version of "Ready Player One", Wu Yuan's "Ready Player One" this time is different from the special effects level and cost of Spielberg's period because it was started three or five years earlier.

As we all know, the special effects technology in the film industry has been advancing by leaps and bounds every year in the first 20 years of the 21st century. New technologies are being updated every year, and the cost of old technologies is falling.

So even though it is only three to five years away, the current technology is not enough to support Wu Yuan to completely virtualize the "Oasis" in the movie like Spielberg, that is, all the characters in the Oasis are completely virtualized with motion capture technology and full special effects.

When Wu Yuan filmed "Ready Player One", he still had to rely mainly on real people, which is more similar to "The Avengers", which is composed of real people shooting + special effects synthesis.

Special effects companies can build an almost "virtual" Oasis world, but they have to cooperate with green screens, let the protagonists shoot the stories that happen in the Oasis themselves, and then use their real-life materials to add special effects to their faces and clothes, and develop people from real people to 3D virtual people.

It is similar to the octopus-faced captain in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", using real shots in the early stage + facial special effects in the later stage.

In this way, "Xiu", the ninja who shines in Oasis, really needs a real person to play, and then on the basis of this real actor, he will be given special effects to make him look more virtual and more like an anime character.

Wu Yuan naturally chose Zhu Yawen for this person.

After all, he is muscular but not strong, a tough guy with slender bones, and not very tall, which is suitable for the positioning of "ninja".

Hu Xianxu, a child actor, is responsible for playing "Xiu" in the real world, and there is no need to consider the problem that the two do not look alike.

Who plays games and pinches their faces based on their own faces?

Not exist!

Instead, it will make the audience feel that this is what a normal child player does, to create a handsome and well-built guy as his own character in the game~

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend today's script seminar."

After clearing all the thoughts in his mind, Wu Yuan came back to his senses and coughed dryly, "Today our task is very heavy. Everyone is free to speak out about their understanding of the role of the experiment, the in-depth analysis of the main story of the script, and your views on other characters."

"The longest time you have received the script has been three or four months, and the latest has been more than two months. Compared to such a long time, you should have some experience with the script."

"Then let's get started."

As Wu Yuan said, everyone looked serious.

Chen Daoming, an actor of the older generation, is the most familiar with script discussion and is also the most adaptable. He was the first to stand up and say, "I have some thoughts and understandings about Zhu Chuanwei, the founder of Oasis..."

Zhu Chuanwei, this is the name of the founder of Oasis played by Chen Daoming.

And choosing such a name also has special significance.

Because the background of the original novel is the United States, and Wu Yuan wants to completely localize it, so the name James Halliday in the original novel must not be used.

So Wu Yuan used the name of Zhu Chuanju, a Chinese scientist who participated in the development of the world's first computer.

Zhu Chuanju was born in Tianjin in 1919. In 1946, at the University of Pennsylvania, Zhu Chuanju and five Americans jointly invented the world's first computer (ENIAC), which rewrote the history of human civilization.

Mr. Zhu also won the "Computer Pioneer Award" awarded by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) of the United States.

Using his name as the founder of the virtual universe "Oasis" is also a very good way to pay tribute.

However, Wu Yuan only used a pseudonym for the name. The life experience of this character is still based on James Halliday in the story of "Ready Player One".

"Zhu Chuanwei's father is a mechanic and an alcoholic; his mother is a waitress with a history of manic-depressive psychosis..."

Chen Daoming read the background story of this character in an orderly manner and expressed his own views. (End of this chapter)
