Looking at the trajectory of Hollywood films in the global market, in the 10s, Hollywood opened the global film market with its own sci-fi film "Jurassic Park", and then there are all kinds of large-scale action movies, similar to Schwarzenegger and Stallone's style of movies, as the main force, and there are also some funny films and romance films as assault troops, such as the "Home Alone" series and Wu Jianye's "Ghost Love" and Cameron's big boat.

After 2000, with the development of film technology getting better and better, Hollywood's superhero movies began to shine, and finally became a unified IP series of movies!

Among them, there is also an alternative "Fast and Furious" series of movies, in fact, to put it bluntly, in the end, the "Fast and Furious" series also takes the path of superheroes, and the abilities of several leading actors are comparable to superheroes.

To put it simply, they have created their own cinematic universe!

So why can't Chinese films create their own cinematic universe?

In fact, the film practitioners of later generations in China have been doing this, and the most successful of them is actually 'Tang Tan Universe' and 'Fengshen Universe'!

Among them, 'Fengshen Universe' is still an animated series.......

Thinking of this, Wu Jianye sat up on the bed, Gong Zhen looked at Wu Jianye curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, you have to write out some ideas, you can rest by yourself, I guess I don't have time here!" Wu Jianye replied.

Although Gong Bin was a little strange, he still nodded obediently, "Then you remember to rest early." ”

Wu Jianye: "Hmm!"

As soon as he took two steps, Gong Zhen's voice came from behind Wu Jianye: "Smoke less!"

"Okay, I'll eat the white rabbit!" Wu Jianye waved his hand and came to his study.

After sitting down, Wu Jianye took out a brand new notebook in a drawer.

First of all, on the first page, Wu Jianye wrote the four big characters of 'Fengshen Universe'.

If you talk about the Chinese mythological system alone, the most far-reaching influence is that one, then if you want to say the second in "Fengshen List", no one dares to admit the first, and there are hundreds of mythological characters in it.

Even the achievements of "Journey to the West" in the mythological system cannot be compared with "The God List".

And the animated version of the 'Fengshen Universe' in later generations also proved its strength with a huge box office, but what worried Wu Jianye was that almost all of the live-action versions of the Fengshen movies hit the streets, and the worst of them was the Fengshen movie that the Xiang couple made in order to support their own lives.

The degree of hitting the street even exceeds that of Xu Wei's "Shushan" during the Huaxia Star period!

Fortunately, it was his own son, and if he was replaced by an ordinary actor, that movie alone would be enough to give his entertainment career a death sentence.

At the same time, there is another hidden danger in this series, that is, the copyright problem, "Fengshen Bang" came from the Ming Dynasty, and there has long been no so-called copyright ownership, that is to say, no matter who this theme is, it can be used by anyone, if Wu Jianye chooses this movie universe, then it is very likely that there will be movies that are all gods in the country at that time.

In fact, there are already signs of this kind of thing in later generations, the animated version of the 'Fengshen Universe', and Wuershan's 'Fengshen Trilogy'......

These are all true, and Wu Jianye is even thinking that if it is simply a mythical universe that takes place in ancient times, then it is also a huge challenge for whether the movie can be welcomed by audiences in Europe and the United States.......

Thinking of this, Wu Jianye reluctantly drew a × on the words 'Fengshen Universe'.

Then there is the Journey to the West universe, and the comprehensive influence of "Journey to the West" must surpass that of "Fengshen Bang", which can also be reflected in the adaptation of the movie.

For example, the movies adapted from "Journey to the West" in later generations have been more successful than "Fengshen Bang", Zhou Xingchi's demon subjugation, demon subjugation, "Journey to the West" series, and the "Journey to the West" series starring Zhen Zidan and Guo Fucheng one after another, have all achieved good movie box office.

But "Journey to the West" faces even more problems than "Fengshen List", so there is no need to talk about copyright issues, and the main characters of "Journey to the West" are actually the four Tang monks and apprentices, and most of the rest are monsters, and he belongs to a travelogue genre, which means that there are fewer single-player movies that can be adapted in it.

It can be tried as a small universe, but there is no way to support a huge film in the form of various characters appearing one after another and the combination of the big universe.

In this regard, the most successful is the Marvel Universe, relying on the Marvel Comics hundreds of superhero platforms, the Marvel Universe can launch a single movie of a superhero at any time, and then at the same time, there are many superhero leagues similar to the Avengers in Marvel Comics.

The Illuminati consist of Mr. Fantastic, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Professor X, Black Bolt, Namor, Black Panther, Beast, Hulk, and more.

Midnight Children composed of Blade Warriors, Ghost Riders, Hannibal King, and others.

The X-Men made up of mutants.

Judges, seekers, eradicators, collectors, surveyors, analysts, calculators, explorers, prosecutors, testers, and other alien astronauts.

There are even the Eight Immortals of China who involve Chinese superheroes.......

Each of these superheroes has their own rivals, and at the same time, the organizations they form also have their own rivals, and it is undeniable that such representations are easier to adapt into movies and more acceptable to audiences.

If Wu Jianye really wants to create a super IP that belongs to himself, or to a Chinese movie, then this form is the best way to express it!

Since the existing Fengshen Universe and Journey to the West Universe are not suitable for the movie universe that Wu Jianye had in mind, is it possible to create a movie universe?

Flood Universe, Mythical Universe, Xianxia Universe, Fantasy Universe, High Martial Universe, Low Martial Universe, Science and Technology Universe, Realistic Universe.......

Slowly, Wu Jianye wrote more and more movie universes in his notebook, and being able to think of these universes is also due to the reason why Wu Jianye, who is in another time and space, was particularly obsessed with the Internet for a while.

In the end, Wu Jianye wrote a 'Three Thousand Universes'!

But if you want to unite these universes to form a huge cultural movie universe, it will be an incomparably complicated thing, and it will not happen overnight at all.

And there is another problem that Wu Jianye must pay attention to, that is, the power system, why does the DC Universe always feel a little worse than the Marvel Universe in the future?

One of the most important problems is the reason for the existence of Superman, an invincible superhero in the DC universe, whose appearance has made the power system of the entire DC cinematic universe a mess.

Although the power system of Marvel movies is also a bit chaotic, it is countless times better than the DC universe.

As for why Wu Jianye finally wrote about the Three Thousand Universes, in fact, the biggest reason is that in Wu Jianye's conception, all the beginnings of the story must appear in the real universe, which can give the audience the greatest sense of substitution!

These universes exist like individuals, and according to later generations of online literature, they are stories that happen in different planes.

The real universe is the origin of all dimensional universes, the real universe is gone, and the other universes are gone, but the crossing of the plane will greatly reduce the ability of superheroes, so that the balance of the power system can be maintained.

If you want to complete such a huge movie universe, it is definitely not enough to rely on Wu Jianye's ability alone, this is something that can only be completed by a huge creative group.

And there are two other issues that Wu Jianye attaches the most importance to.

The reason why Marvel movies and DC movies can succeed is because the comic book of the same name has been serialized in North America for decades, and has already laid a deep audience base.

When the film technology matures, it will become a logical thing to adapt the movie, and Wu Jianye is now almost completely restarting a new universe, so first of all, the audience's acceptance will not reach the same height as Marvel DC.

This is what is needed, with the help of comics.

Moreover, it is impossible for Xiangjiang alone to achieve the nationwide coverage of Wu Jianye's plan, and at the same time, coupled with domestic policy reasons, if you want to do this, you must get the help of the domestic high-level.

Another problem is the technical problem, stunt production has always been a shortcoming of domestic films, even in the next 30 years, domestic stunt companies are still many years behind Hollywood.

This is not to say that there are no such talents in China and Xiangjiang now, and more importantly, there is no such soil at all, Xiangjiang's movies do not need the so-called science fiction movies at all, and Xiangjiang's current mainstream movies are enough to support the entire Xiangjiang film industry, which is also the reason why the volume of Xiangjiang films is too small.

The volume of domestic films is large, but now the domestic film environment, not to mention science fiction movies or drama movies, is about to develop, and wanting to make science fiction movies in the nineties in China is tantamount to looking for death, but if you don't develop domestic film special effects, you will follow the footsteps of Hollywood after two thousand years, and the backward time will be longer and longer.

After 2010, domestic moviemakers always like to invite the special effects production team of "Avatar" as publicity, and the domestic audience was very excited at first, but as a result, most of the special effects they saw were five-cent special effects.

Taking Cameron's "Avatar" as an example, the special effects company he invited was not a special effects company at all, in order to complete the filming of "Avatar", James Cameron invited almost all the top special effects companies in the United States, and these special effects companies are responsible for their best fields.

This is the top audio-visual effect of "Avatar" later, as for the domestic film claiming to have invited the special effects team of "Avatar", in fact, it only invited one of the special effects companies.

And that's not all, in order to fulfill Cameron's requirements, those special effects companies have sent almost all the elites of the company, after all, the filming of "Avatar" is like a martial arts conference in Chinese martial arts, and all special effects companies are almost working hard to stand out in this conference.

And when it comes to making special effects for Chinese movies, it is only your own internship team that shoots, and at the same time, coupled with the difference in production costs, it is naturally impossible for the other party to do special effects for you.

So in the end, it can only be a five-cent special effect.

Although Wu Jianye can choose to hire a Hollywood production team when making this type of movie in the future, and Wu Jianye is also willing to spend money, and it is the real whole team that is invited.

However, the gap between Eastern and Western cultures will still make these foreigners make movie special effects without the essence of China, which is also a lesson, such as the huge pit "Asura" in later generations.......

It's not in the middle, it's not outside, it's strange if you don't hit the street.

Special effects talents are urgent!

This kind of talent is not achieved overnight, but it takes a long time of practical tempering to be able to succeed in talents, thinking of this, Wu Jianye began to have a headache again, because such talents Xiangjiang may be able to find a few, but if you want to find it in China, it is really difficult!

But soon, Wu Jianye thought of his alma mater, Yenching Film Academy, where there is absolutely no shortage of film talents, but there is also difficulty, that is, it is impossible for him to let the film school open a new special effects department, so not to mention how troublesome the procedures are, even if you want to recruit students, it is an extremely troublesome thing.

The most important thing is that such talents are not needed in China at all now, which means that even if these students graduate, they may face the possibility of unemployment, and even Wu Jianye cannot accept them all, so it is impossible to establish a separate department.

But that doesn't mean there's no room for maneuvering.

Thinking of this, Wu Jianye raised his head and found that the sun was already shining outside, and when he looked at the time, it was already more than ten o'clock.

STRETCHED A LAZY WAIST AND LET OUT A MOAN, WU JIANYE WALKED OUT OF THE STUDY, AND GONG BIN WAS HOLDING WU QICHEN TO COAX THE CHILD.

"It's over?" Gong Bin asked distressed after seeing Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye smiled: "It's okay, it's very energetic." ”

Gong Bin nodded, and then said, "Then I'll ask someone to prepare breakfast for you!"

Wu Jianye said: "No need, I have something to do and need to go back to Yanjing." ”

Gong Bin immediately showed a hint of loss, "Didn't you say that you could stay until June or July?"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Don't worry, I'm just going back, and I'll be back in about two or three days!"

When Gong Bin heard Wu Jianye say this, he smiled: "That's okay, I'll help you pack your luggage!"

"By the way, do you want to call Dai Zhen and Chen Le to go back with you. Gong asked asked.

"I'll call them!" Wu Jianye said after thinking for a while, and then went to call.

Not long after, Dai Zhen and Chen Le came to the villa, and when they heard that they were going back to Yanjing for a few days, they didn't say anything, and when Gong Yin finished packing his luggage for Wu Jianye, the three of them rushed to the airport, and naturally someone was responsible for the air ticket or something.

However, this kind of thing has always been in charge of Yaoguang Group, Wu Jianye decided to find a full-time secretary in China or Xiangjiang, Xia Xiaohong needs to be responsible for the domestic situation, and he also needs a full-time secretary by his side.

Gong Zhen waited for Wu Jianye to leave, then came to Wu Jianye's study, looked at Wu Jianye's desk, which was full of ashtray cigarette butts, and showed a wry smile, but he still carefully helped Wu Jianye clean up, and then put two boxes of cigars in the drawer where Wu Jianye was used to taking cigarettes.......

I heard that cigars are not as harmful to the human body as cigarettes.
