Millennium director

After reading the project book of "Life Events", Wu Yuan immediately approved it with the word "approved" and asked the company to try to sign Director Liu Jiangjiang.

Times are changing, and the training of new directors must also keep pace with the times.

Liu Jiangjiang is less than 35 years old, which is a young director in the circle. In addition, "Life Events" itself is indeed excellent. After training, he may become a new pillar of the light and shadow era.

After all, the old pillars of the light and shadow era are not doing well now.

Zhang Guorong, the "old man", has a sense of life perfection after filming "Glass Love". Wu Yuan is afraid that if this movie really wins an award, he may not make movies again in the future and start his retirement life completely.

Speaking of "Glass Love", because of the "Black Swan Incident", the road to the award of this movie has to be suspended.

Originally, Zhang Guorong planned to take this film to the Venice Film Festival or the Cannes Film Festival this year, but now due to force majeure, all the crew members stayed in China and could not go abroad to attend the film festival.

His situation is different from Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan went to the United States in December last year before the incident happened, so he could stay there for a few months and finish everything before returning to China.

But the crew of "Glass Love" can't go abroad to attend the film festival now, which is a bit difficult.

And whether Cannes and Venice can be held normally this year is also a problem. On March 19, the organizing committee of the Cannes International Film Festival issued a statement saying that in view of the epidemic spreading around the world, the 73rd Cannes International Film Festival originally scheduled for May was postponed, and the specific postponement time is still uncertain.

As for the Venice Film Festival, there is no news yet. After all, the Venice Film Festival is held in September, and it is too early to talk about whether it will be postponed.

Wu Yuan vaguely remembered that this year's Cannes seemed to be changed to an online event, and a lot of reforms were made, but it ended up being a whimper.

The Venice Film Festival was not affected much, and it was finally held smoothly in September.

So Wu Yuan also suggested Zhang Guorong to attend the Venice Film Festival instead of going to Cannes to join in the fun.

Anyway, he is also the Venice Film Emperor, and he is considered one of them in Venice.

Let's get back to the point.

In short, Wu Yuan now needs to discover a group of new directors to take over the self-made film development strategy of the Light and Shadow Era in the next ten or twenty years.

Although all the famous directors in this era like to set up their own studios or film and television companies, and do not like to work for other film companies, they all adopt a cooperative approach, but the Light and Shadow Era is also the most suitable film and television company in the circle, and it is still very attractive.

However, when Wu Yuan read four or five project books submitted for review, he did not see any amazing or familiar movies in his previous life.

It can only be said that as time gets closer to 2022, when he wakes up from his dream, the film industry is becoming more and more unfamiliar to Wu Yuan. The previous situation of relying on foresight to make decisions will gradually become purely based on experience.

Fortunately, Wu Yuan is still very satisfied with his nearly 20 years of directing career, and he has accumulated enough experience. He believes that he can face the new future head-on.

"Huh"

"It's familiar, isn't it!"

Just thinking about it, Wu Yuan saw another familiar movie.

But this movie is a little embarrassing to be familiar.

It's the new project of Happy Twist - "The Lone Moon"!

Wu Yuan is the second largest shareholder of Happy Twist. Since Happy Twist developed, although it has a close cooperative relationship with Light and Shadow Times, it doesn't want to ask Light and Shadow Times for investment at the beginning, and the proportion of self-made movies is getting higher and higher.

For movies like "Mr. Donkey", "Half Comedy", "The Shameful Iron Fist", "Li Cha's Aunt", and "The Ringing Bell", Happy Twist basically invested the majority of the money itself, and then asked Light and Shadow Times and other network resources to invest the minority.

When making a movie, if it can have a box office, investing by yourself is definitely the most profitable.

But this time, it is rare that Happy Twist actually took the initiative to invest in a project with Light and Shadow Times, inviting Light and Shadow Times to be the main investor, and only followed the minority investor.

The reason is very simple, that is, this movie has many science fiction elements and is very expensive.

Happy Twist plans to make a blockbuster with 95% of the shots involving special effects!

It even has to use motion capture technology in the movie to create a space kangaroo completely in the form of CG modeling.

According to the project book plan, in order to make this movie well, it is estimated that tens of thousands of staff members will be involved in it before and after to complete the production of this movie.

So Happy Twist alone cannot afford so much money. At least three to five production companies must be found to cooperate in production, and the majority of the money must be found from the most wealthy company.

If Guangying Times doesn't work, then it will have to find big companies like China Film and Alibaba to have the money and confidence to take over.

But when Wu Yuan finished reading the outline of the script, he felt very embarrassed.

The story of "Lone Moon" is really similar to his "The Martian", which is a funny and relaxed version of "The Martian", except that there is a fun King Kong kangaroo.

If "The Martian" is a space opera written by science, then "Lone Moon" is a big mess of space comedy.

It is definitely not plagiarism, but this full of familiarity still makes Wu Yuan feel a little weird.

However, when he saw the source of the script, he immediately understood.

It turned out that this script was adapted from a Korean comic by Happy Twist, and the copyright of the original comic was purchased.

Crap!

Once the thief makes a move, we know whether it is good or not!

The original version turned out to be from a Korean comic, Wu Yuan immediately understood it. After all, the thief steals everything from the Chinese, and it is completely understandable to steal the idea of ​​an American novel!

The script of this movie is not original, but it makes Wu Yuan feel better immediately.

Even if this movie is finally released and many people criticize it for plagiarizing the idea of ​​"The Martian", it doesn't matter. Anyway, the original version is a Korean comic, and you can criticize the Koreans.

Once the firepower is dispersed, the light and shadow era can hide behind and secretly count money.

Yes, although Wu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, he still felt that this movie was profitable after reading the script.

Happy Twist's comedy advantage + the space comedy type that has never appeared before, as long as there are no major problems during the filming, the movie will definitely be a hit.

Especially since the male and female protagonists are the classic Shen Ma combination, it will be a guarantee for the box office.

As we all know, whether Happy Twist's movies can be popular depends on whether the "Tencent content" is high!

And according to the script, the Tencent content of "Alone on the Moon" is very high, which is similar to "The Martian"!

What else is there to say?

Wu Yuan slapped the table and signed the electronic document.

"Slap!" (End of this chapter)
