Millennium director

After the release date of Ready Player One was announced in Beijing, the countdown to its release began.

Countless fans and audiences across the country began to look forward to this blockbuster that Wu Yuan had spent three years preparing for.

Although Wu Yuan's main theme movie Riding the Wind was released in the middle, fans' expectations for Wu Yuan's sci-fi blockbusters have not diminished at all.

If we count them carefully, Wu Yuan's last Chinese sci-fi movie was Gravity, which was released in 2008.

Since 2008, Wu Yuan has not made any Chinese sci-fi movies, not even Chinese blockbusters. He has only made two Chinese films, Love Letter and Dear, both of which are ordinary 2D feature films.

However, he also made two sci-fi movies, Interstellar and The Martian, in Hollywood, which earned him enough popularity and box office internationally, and also established his identity and status as a sci-fi director.

In this way, domestic fans are even more looking forward to Wu Yuan's Chinese sci-fi blockbusters.

You know, although science fiction movies have never been very popular in the field of awards and film festivals, and are not favored by judges, in the field of commercial films, science fiction movies can be regarded as the crown of the commercial film industry and a shining pearl. Except for Hollywood, no country in the world can play science fiction movies.

Wu Yuan is the only one who can be on par with Hollywood directors in the field of science fiction films, and is even a leading director in the contemporary era.

Although, in the eyes of most foreign movie fans, Wu Yuan is also a member of Hollywood directors.

But domestic movie fans are still looking forward to Wu Yuan bringing more excellent Chinese science fiction blockbusters to everyone as a Chinese film director!

But from 2008 to 2016, eight years have passed, and Wu Yuan finally made another Chinese science fiction film, and it was a work that took three years to make. How can this not make domestic movie fans excited?

It can be said that as soon as the release date of Ready Player One was confirmed, this movie has already set off a whirlwind on the domestic Internet. The popularity is not inferior to the influence of Marvel movies, and even more so. There are more viewers who are looking forward to Wu Yuan's new film than Marvel fans, and even most Marvel fans are also Wu Yuan's fans!

Fans who like to watch Marvel movies are all looking forward to Wu Yuan's new sci-fi film, which is much more popular than previous films such as Love Letter and Dear.

Compared with these two Chinese dramas, Wu Yuan's new film Ready Player One is the movie that domestic audiences have been waiting for a long time. It is a work that everyone has been looking forward to for several years. Its attention is not much different from that of Stephen Chow's The Mermaid.

By the way, The Mermaid was already released in the mainland when Wu Yuan was busy filming Doctor Strange in Hong Kong Island.

The film broke the pre-sale record of Chinese-language films, the first-day box office of Chinese-language films, the single-day box office of Chinese-language films and many other records. It broke through 1 billion in just 4 days, breaking the record of "the fastest Chinese-language film to break 1 billion" in the history of mainland films, and the single-day box office of the first week remained above 230 million for a week, breaking the first-week box office record in the history of mainland films.

As of February 21, 2016, the film has exceeded 100 million for 14 consecutive days since its release.

On February 26, 2016, the cumulative box office of the film exceeded 3 billion, becoming the first member of the 3 billion club in the history of mainland films.

As of April 6, 2016, the cumulative box office of the film was 3.39 billion, currently ranking first in the mainland film and television box office, including foreign-language films, and the gold content is full.

Of course, such an exaggerated box office result has nothing to do with the quality of the film. It was created by the joint action of time, place and people, among which the public opinion on the Internet that "I owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket" played a great role.

Even Stephen Chow himself cannot replicate such a legend, which has surpassed the miracle of the movie itself.

It was also stimulated by the 3 billion box office performance of "The Mermaid" that more hot money poured into the film industry this year, including the three Internet giants, which officially entered the market and invested in the film industry.

"Big data" is also invading the film industry. Penguin Pictures and Alibaba Pictures have invested in many movies based on the so-called "movie big data". These are all works that these Internet people are very optimistic about and believe will definitely sell well.

Internet companies believe that their winning magic weapon "big data" will also be successful in the film field. After all, using "big data" as a winning magic weapon, Internet companies have succeeded in the four major fields of clothing, food, housing and transportation. There is no reason to fail in the film field.

This kind of blind self-confidence cannot be stopped or persuaded by anyone, including Wu Yuan, who knows that "big data" is useless in the film field. He chooses to watch coldly.

Anyway, after being beaten by reality for a few years and losing billions, these Internet film companies will calm down, lower their proud heads, give up big data, and listen carefully to the suggestions and ideas of real film practitioners.

And this is not a bad thing.

It has to be admitted that the entry of Internet companies has indeed swept away many chaos in the film industry and made the industry more standardized, although it is inevitable that the film industry has become a capital-controlled industry.

But which country's film industry is not controlled by capital? It's just a change of people.

This kind of thing cannot be avoided. Even Wu Yuan himself has become a part of the capital. As the leader of domestic film companies, Guangying Times is one of the largest capitals. Even if Internet giants enter the market, it will not shake anything. Wu Yuan can just sit back and watch the storm.

Compared with these industry troubles, he is more concerned about another thing recently.

As time enters June, another highly anticipated movie is finally released, that is, the game adaptation movie "Warcraft" with full nostalgia!

The A-Zu version of Gul'dan is here!

Oh my god!

There is still a day in my lifetime when I can't recognize Daniel Wu.

The once handsome boy has countless famous scenes in the movie.

From "Beautiful Boy's Love" to "City of Glass" to "Mongkok Midnight" and "New Police Story", for the majority of female fans, he is an unstoppable hormone of appearance.

In the words of Xiong Dun, the author of "Go Away! Tumor King": "You are so handsome that you want to make people take off their clothes... reborn."

She actually wanted to say "so handsome that you want to make people take off their clothes."

Xiong Dun, before his death, had named A Zu, hoping that he would play Dr. Liang.

So, everyone got what they wanted and saw the handsome A Zu in "Go Away! Tumor King".

Perhaps because of his handsome face, which brought countless troubles, and the trouble that fans only look at the face and not the acting skills, A Zu played a big game this time and was shameless, shameless in the physical sense.

Anyway, after the release of "Warcraft", Wu Yuan, who had only heard about it in his dreams but did not go to the cinema to watch it, went to the cinema to watch the movie carefully this time, and then came to a conclusion.

It's crazy!

He dared to guarantee that Gul'dan in the movie would not be recognized by A Zu's mother!

This special effect is even more excessive than the octopus face in "Pirates of the Caribbean". The special effects have been done to this extent. To be honest, it doesn't make sense to find anyone to play it, anyway, it's all an exaggerated orc face.

When leaving the cinema, Wu Yuan couldn't understand why A Zu would accept such a movie. This was even more outrageous than "Jade Dynasty". He was called an actor, but in fact he was just a motion capture actor behind the scenes. It was really unnecessary. (End of this chapter)
