Millennium director

"Operation Red Sea" and "Operation Mekong" are both movies with good box office performance in their original time and space.

And both movies can be regarded as adapted from real stories.

Among them, "Operation Mekong" is a movie adapted from the murder in the Golden Triangle in 2011. Bona seems to be preparing for filming now.

Bona also started with "Operation Mekong" and reaped the benefits of adapting movies based on real events. After that, a large number of movies of this theme were made, which really made Bona a lot of money.

As the boss of a film and television company, Wu Yuan felt that he needed to compete with his peers for a living.

Now that the domestic film market has developed, the idea of ​​not making too many domestic films is no longer Wu Yuan's purpose of behavior.

On the one hand, he hopes that the company can make a big "Xianxia Movie Universe" and make Chinese people's own special effects blockbusters. On the other hand, he also hopes that the company can walk on two legs and invest in other profitable movies.

Everything is the most stable when walking on two legs.

So Guangying Times has been investing in and producing other movies, and the directors signed by the company are also making their own movies.

For example, after the success of "Ex-Files", the second part is now being prepared.

Su Lun is finally preparing for "Time Travel Cohabitation", which she originally planned to release in three years.

Lu Yang's "Blade of Assassination 2" is also being approved.

Han Yan is also thinking about his second film "Send You a Little Red Flower", which focuses on the cancer community.

The company is even cooperating with Han Han to help Han Han realize his movie dream and undertake the production work.

The only pity is that the company did not cooperate with Guo Xiaosi.

Originally, Li Xiaoping was planning to cooperate with Guo Xiaosi. After all, he is indeed an influential author of youth books, and in the past two years, people from all walks of life have become directors across the border. Li Xiaoping also hopes to invest in a few cross-border directors, and maybe it will really succeed.

But when the "Tiny Times" movie plan was sent to Wu Yuan's desk, he was rejected immediately.

Although, he knew that the "Tiny Times" series was actually profitable, and it made a lot of money, and it could be regarded as the most successful fan economy movie.

But Wu Yuan really couldn't bring himself to let the company make this series.

It has been more than ten years since the establishment of Light and Shadow Era, and it has accumulated a huge reputation and brand value.

Speaking of ordinary bad movies, Light and Shadow Era can still make them. After all, no matter how powerful a film company is, it is impossible to say that it has not made bad movies for more than ten years. This is impossible.

So Light and Shadow Era has indeed produced some movies with good box office but not good reputation in the past few years, and they have even been evaluated as bad movies.

But "Tiny Times" is not an ordinary bad movie. It is the king of bad movies. It can be nailed to the pillar of shame and will be mentioned by people even five or ten years later.

The bad thing about this movie is not the picture. The picture is even quite good and beautiful, but the values ​​and outlook on life of the whole movie are completely rotten to the root. It is meaningless and not even worthy of being called a product of the movie.

If Light and Shadow Times really made the "Tiny Times" series, it might earn a few hundred million yuan, but the bad reputation it carried and the reputation accumulated over more than ten years would be gone. This is not worth a few hundred million yuan.

At that time, it might affect the company's other movies. When movies with the Light and Shadow Times logo are released in the future, fans will not trust them, but will question them again and again.

Thinking of this terrible consequence, Wu Yuan immediately curbed Li Xiaoping's idea.

There is no problem in cooperating with Han Han. Although Han Han's movies have mixed reviews, they can't be considered bad movies. It can only be said that the movies made by real literary youths are indeed more sincere than those made by Guo Xiaosi, a fake literary man.

It can only be said that fortunately he is still at the helm of the company, so there won't be any big omissions.

Soon, another two months passed, and it was August 2015.

The pre-heating promotion of "Riding the Wind" is about to start. The company has already cut two trailers and prepared a sum of publicity and distribution funds. Everything is ready.

As a tribute film, "Riding the Wind" actually does not need too much publicity from the Light and Shadow Era. When the film is released, the superiors will take the initiative to help promote it, and the public service department will definitely organize viewings.

It can be said that as long as this kind of tribute film can be released, it will naturally have a base box office, and there is no need to worry about publicity.

But the trailer must still be edited by the producer himself, and the network publicity of the release date and release news cannot be done by the Light and Shadow Era at all.

Therefore, Wu Yuan, who is watching the long post-production of "Ready Player One", also took time to watch the trailer edited by the company's editing department.

The two versions of the trailer are one and a half minutes and two minutes respectively. One is considered an advance warm-up, and the other is the official trailer.

The company's editing department is also a veteran, so it is no problem to cut a trailer. Wu Yuan was very satisfied after watching it once, and did not have any suggestions for modification. The expectation, grand scene atmosphere and tragedy are all there.

However, just when he finished watching the trailer and felt that there was no problem and was about to go back to the computer room to discuss some special effects processing issues with the special effects company of Ocean Department Store, Li Xiaoping's secretary stopped him halfway and took him to Li Xiaoping's office.

"What?" Wu Yuan sat down in front of Li Xiaoping, who was immersed in processing documents, and asked doubtfully: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Pa." Li Xiaoping closed the folder she had just signed, raised her head, took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Wu Yuan.

"Director Wu, have you heard of "Drishyam"?"

"The word is not English but Malayalam and means 'vision'."

"This is an Indian movie. The real original work was filmed and released in 2013. After the film became a big success, it quickly started a remake craze in India."

"Since India is a multi-ethnic country, in order to meet the needs of audiences in different languages, five versions of the film with the same content were remade based on the original script."

"Last month, the latest version was released in India, once again detonating the Indian film market and becoming the highest-grossing film in India this year."

"I found an old version of "Drishyam" and watched it, and learned a little about the movie. In fact, the movie was inspired by Keigo Higashino's novel "The Devotion of Suspect X."

"'The Devotion of Suspect X' tells the story of a single man covering up the truth of the murder for his neighbor's mother and daughter. "Manslaughter" is the story of a man covering up the truth of the murder for his wife and daughter."

"The difference between the two seems to be that things outside the family are transferred inside the family."

"I think the theme of this movie is great and exciting. We can also make a Chinese version, and it would be best to adapt it based on this Indian movie."

""Drishyam"?" Wu Yuan was confused when he first heard this movie title, which was not in English at all.

But after he listened to Li Xiaoping's introduction, he suddenly realized which movie she was talking about.

"Manslaughter and Concealment"!

It was later adapted into a Chinese film - "Manslaughter"! (End of chapter)
