Chapter 438

Wu Yuan's meeting for returning to China lasted a long time, a whole afternoon.

The meeting finally ended at around five o'clock in the afternoon.

He talked a lot with the company's executives in this meeting.

He was the one who was talking, and the executives were taking notes.

It was about the company's strategy for the next five or ten years, so everyone had to pay attention to it.

Fortunately, the only thing Wu Yuan felt fortunate about was that this was only the company's strategy, not his personal future plan.

Yes, the film universe layout of the Light and Shadow Era has nothing to do with him.

He is not interested in spending the next five or ten years on this commercial film universe plan.

The company's strategy has nothing to do with his personal career plan.

Perhaps he will use his own fame to carry the banner and shoot a film when this commercial film universe is just starting, but at most he will help shoot a film at the beginning.

His main energy should still be focused on Hollywood, on the European and American markets, to maintain his international influence, and to grasp both awards and box office.

To put it bluntly, the domestic market really can't accommodate Wu Yuan, this giant dragon.

At least in the next five years, it is impossible for a single film to have a box office of 3 billion or 4 billion.

If Wu Yuan wants to maximize his profits, he still has to maintain the rhythm of producing a Chinese commercial film every two years.

Moreover, this kind of movie universe is indeed not something that can be handled by one director alone, and it requires multiple directors to work together.

Fortunately, after the development of Light and Shadow Times in the past few years, there are quite a few directors under its umbrella.

Before the end of the meeting, Wu Yuan also mentioned that the company should continue to support new directors in the second phase and support a group of new directors.

Among the first batch of new directors supported by the company, there are three good seedlings, and they must continue to be vigorously explored.

Of course, the company's shooting plan for this year was also determined in the meeting.

Zhang Guorong will be transferred to the company's movie universe plan and serve as the director of the first film of the first phase, "Shushan".

The IP of "Shushan" is the most familiar to people in Hong Kong Island. After all, Hong Kong Island is the first place to play with this IP, and Xu Ke's "Shushan" is also a classic in the hearts of a generation.

At the same time, Liu Meichuan, who is responsible for the filming of the "Soul Ferry" series of TV series, will also be promoted to prepare for the filming of the "Soul Ferry" movie.

This movie can also be regarded as a derivative part of the Light and Shadow Era movie universe, and will tell the story of the underworld during the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Li's previous life was Wuming, a high monk from the Tang Dynasty. He saved many ghosts in troubled times.

However, he had a special female ghost that he could not save anyway.

In desperation, he temporarily stored her in the guqin he carried with him.

As time went by, the guqin gradually became spiritual due to the influence of Buddhist scriptures, and merged with the female ghost.

In order to recover his beloved guqin, Wuming practiced to the state of transformation and confronted the Hades in Huangquan.

In the end, at the cost of being divided into two, his body became Zhao Li, and his soul became Bai Mudan, continuing his reincarnation journey.

And Wuming's identity in his previous life, that is, Zhao Li's previous life, was Wuming.

This big movie can be regarded as an explanation of Zhao Li's past, and by the way, it raises the background limit of "Soul Ferry".

Originally, this TV series can only be regarded as an urban daily show. Although there are ghosts and monsters, their combat effectiveness is not strong. Compared with fighting, it is more about social issues and human nature.

But through this movie, "Soul Ferry" has been introduced into a larger world view, no longer just telling how magnificent the human world was in the past.

Zhao Li's previous life was nameless. He was not only a monk with profound Buddhist knowledge, but also a good friend of a sword cultivator in Shushan. He had visited famous rivers and mountains and even met real immortals.

It was also under the guidance of the immortals that he knew about the underworld and came to find Hades.

Similarly, in the movie script, the struggle between the ancient human race and the immortal race was involved behind Hades Cha Cha, and the birthplace of the immortal race "Kunlun" was pulled out.

As a starting movie of a stage, it is undoubtedly appropriate to start from the "Soul Ferry" movie to go deep into the background.

It just so happens that in the setting of the screenwriter department of Light and Shadow Times, the Tang Dynasty in the movie universe is already the end of the mythological era. After the Tang Dynasty, immortals, gods, demons, monsters, and monsters gradually stopped showing their holiness in front of people.

This involves the big event that will be filmed later, the story of the re-division of heaven and earth at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

It was also after this big event that the earth became the earth with no miracles now. It was not until modern society that the demon world was broken and the immortals and gods were born again.

The movie "Soul Ferry" tells the story of the Tang Dynasty, an era when immortals have not been cut off.

In addition to the movie "Shushan" and the 2-3 movies that will be released later, the extraordinary world from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty will be constructed.

In the end, the people who appeared in these movies gathered in modern times and opened the first big event-"The Modern Demon World is Unsealed".

Then the 6th to 10th movies continue to tell the history of the past, leading to the second big event-"The Re-division of Heaven and Earth at the End of the Tang Dynasty".

At least in the next ten years, Light and Shadow Times wants to tell this movie universe, which is considered to be busy.

Among them, it is estimated that only the first big movie in the movie universe, which tells the story of the modern period, the sealed demon world is broken, the immortals and the hidden immortal organizations and sects return to heaven and earth to fight against demons, may be filmed by Wu Yuan himself.

After all, this kind of big event, similar to "Avengers 1", is still very important. Let Wu Yuan personally direct it to ensure that enough audiences will be attracted to the cinema to watch it and lay the foundation for the movie universe in the light and shadow era.

For other branch movies, let the company's directors shoot it.

If everything goes well, it is estimated that Wu Yuan will not be able to shoot this movie until around 2014, but there is no rush.

In the evening, at 6:30 pm, Wu Yuan, who was holding on to his spirits, finally returned home.

"Why did the meeting take so long?" Liu Yifei, who had arrived home a long time ago and had a nap, said with some heartache.

She took off Wu Yuan's suit jacket quickly, and pulled him to the bedroom, saying, "I didn't get enough rest on the plane, so take a shower and have a good sleep."

"There shouldn't be anything to do next, right?"

"Isn't Interstellar scheduled for August? There are still four or five months left. You should be able to take a break in these four or five months."

For more than a year, Wu Yuan has been busy with Interstellar and has lost ten pounds.

Although she never said it, Liu Yifei still felt sorry for her boyfriend.

This kind of IMAX 3D movie that has never been made before is not easy to make. Although Wu Yuan has experience and will not do it for ten years like Cameron, this time making Interstellar is also his most difficult film directing.

"It should be nothing." Wu Yuan lowered his head and put his head on Liu Yifei's shoulder, and said in a coquettish tone that he had never thought of: "I will accompany you well next time~" (End of this chapter)
