Millennium director

When the topic turned to the two industries of TV series and movies, Liu Yifei became a little bit unable to speak.

As an actor, she really doesn't think about things like this that involve the future development of the industry at a macro level.

But she was not a fool. After Wu Yuan pointed it out, she suddenly realized, "In recent years, the film industry and the TV drama industry have indeed become more and more separated."

She recalled for a while and found that almost all of the actors she could recall who were successful at the box office in the film field had failed to achieve success in the TV drama field.

For example, Wu Jing, whose several movies have sold billions at the box office, although he made his debut in TV series in his early years, has not acted in TV series in the past ten years. Even though his movies are selling so well now, in fact There is no market for him in the field of TV dramas.

Do you expect those young girls who now like to watch various fairy tale idol dramas to appreciate TV dramas starring Wu Jing?

Do not make jokes.

Is Wu Jing as handsome as Yang Yang?

Is there anything cool about sewing?

Even Chen Kaige's son Chen Feiyu can't compare, let alone those top male gods in TV series. The influence of any one on the Internet and the number of so-called fans far exceed Wu Jing.

But when it comes to the film field, these so-called top-notch young talents, bundled together, do not have as much box office appeal as Wu Jing alone, let alone the billions in box office. These young talents act in Movies can have a box office of hundreds of millions, all because of the support of fans. No one else goes to see their movies except fans.

In the past two years, there have been many obscure production companies in the film industry who have invited young talents to star in movies, thinking that these young talents are so popular on the Internet and have so many fans of young girls that they will be easily cut off. Of leeks.

As a result, the movies they made one after another, whether they were comedies or romances, were not successful, and the box office share was not enough to pay the salary. This shocked the industry, and immediately caused the film industry to cool down on young movies. There will be no more movies this year. Fang Hui will invite these little fresh meat to act in movies.

Of course, if movie stars like Wu Jing and Shen Teng were to star in TV dramas, it would be unlikely that they would be popular in the TV drama industry.

The degree of separation between these two circles is indeed very high. It is completely different from the situation 20 years ago when actors first became famous in TV dramas and then transitioned to making movies.

In the current film and television industry, the possibility of TV drama actors wanting to transform into film actors is basically zero. It is basically impossible for movie actors to deign to act in TV dramas and get good ratings.

"Not absolutely." When mentioning this, Wu Yuan put down his phone and looked at Liu Yifei with a smile: "You are the exception. You are very popular in TV series and movies."

"If you return to the field of TV dramas now and take on TV dramas, the ratings will definitely be very high, and you won't be as ruined as Zhang Ziyi."

This is true, Wu Yuan knew very well that if his appearance had not brought about changes, Liu Yifei would actually be more suitable to develop in the field of TV dramas.

In the original time and space, her influence in the film industry for ten years was not as good as the two TV series she filmed when she returned to the field of TV dramas.

At least after she returned to TV dramas in 2020, "Go Where the Wind Is" and "Meng Hua Lu" both became the most popular film and television dramas at the same time when they were broadcast. They were also highly discussed and topical on the Internet, which directly made her She was rejuvenated.

This also seems like her ten years in the film industry were in vain.

However, because of Wu Yuan's help in this life, her influence in the film industry is not much inferior to that of Zhang Ziyi. In terms of box office, she is even the first domestic actress. Naturally, her work in the film industry was not in vain.

If she still plans to return to the TV drama industry, she will only go from one success to another.

"Let's act in a TV series." Liu Yifei put her chin in her hands and looked up at the ceiling as she thought: "It's been a long time since I've acted in a TV series. If there is a suitable script, it's not like I can't take it."

"Actually, I really miss the days when I was filming TV series. At that time, I was young and didn't understand anything. Filming every day felt very interesting."

"Furthermore, the feeling of filming a TV series is different from that of filming a movie. The former is relatively more relaxed, less picky, and less psychologically stressful."

"However, I heard from Xiao Zhang two days ago that Hollywood sent an audition invitation. Disney is planning to make a live-action movie of "Mulan" and wants to invite me to play Mulan. I am also interested in this project. Very interested."

"Disney?" Wu Yuan was stunned and said in surprise: ""Mulan"?!"

He thought that due to his butterfly effect, Disney would not even plan to make "Mulan".

Because in the original time and space, preparations for this film began in 2017, and Wu Yuan clearly remembered that Disney was very vigorous in casting this film. It was called a global audition, but it was mainly in Asia. During the in-house screening, the director and the creative team actually came to Asia for several large-scale auditions.

At that time, almost all actresses of domestic entertainment age auditioned, but in the end the role was won by Liu Yifei.

Back then, he had heard some true and false inside information, saying that the audition looked very exciting, but in fact it was just a marketing effort by Disney. The heroine Hua Mulan had already been cast as Liu Yifei, and she was auditioning. Showing up sometimes was just a formality.

After all, "Mulan" is indeed a Chinese story, and it is impossible to find a white person to play the heroine. If an Asian is to be chosen, China, the world's largest film market, will definitely get this spot.

And Liu Yifei has an American agency behind her. It is reasonable to choose an actor who is signed to an American agency instead of an actor with Chinese capital behind her. At least it can make the best use of the resources, which is also a choice that maximizes the benefits for Disney.

However, in 2017, Wu Yuan did not hear that Disney was going to make a live-action movie of "Mulan". Instead, it was studying the live-action movie of "The Mermaid". He thought that under his butterfly effect, Hollywood paid more attention to the "Chinese threat", so it gave up this princess film that would definitely be mainly Chinese actors if it was approved, for fear of further strengthening the influence of Chinese filmmakers in the international arena.

But unexpectedly, a year later, Disney finally launched the "Mulan" project, and did not hold the princess audition that shocked Asia, but directly handed the audition invitation to Liu Yifei.

This means that if she passes the audition, she can get the role directly without any further selection.

But thinking of the final outcome of Disney's live-action movie "Mulan", Wu Yuan still asked cautiously: "Has Disney sent the script?"

"Compared with the original animated film, are the scripts changed a lot?" (End of this chapter)
