455. The Problem of Cinema

For these two companies, Zhou Fangyuan has the intention of selling them for money.

The reason couldn't be simpler, after all, it is the United States, and the wariness of China has never been eliminated, and the future Internet is a highly concentrated user information and a channel for the rapid transmission of global information. For example, the incident in which the government of the United States monitored the major global information concentration enterprises in its country and asked these companies to provide them with various information is a clear proof of this. Today's U.S. government may not fully recognize the importance of the Internet, but they will soon do, and will inevitably increase their control over these companies.

Of course, these controls are carried out in secret, otherwise it would be hard to hear. But in any case, control exists for guest officers, and monitoring is inevitable.

Zhou Fangyuan grabbed these two companies now, whether it will be discovered by Mi Guo in the future, and he does not know if he will use some means against him. But if that happens, he can sell these two companies, anyway, these two companies must be quite large, and it can be said that they can make as much as they can make. Of course, this is just his speculation, although the United States government is sometimes really shameless, and there is no lower limit, but in the Internet-style era, information transmission is highly developed, if Zhou Fangyuan fights the company and wants to break his wrist with the United States government, it may not be impossible to let the other party throw a mouse.

Anyway, there will definitely be trouble then, but how big it can be, he can't say now. But this doesn't stop him, as he has always thought before, it's a big deal to sell the shares, anyway, now to establish these two companies, to be honest, it doesn't cost much, even if the follow-up development needs to continue to inject capital, it doesn't matter, the gains can always be greater than the expenditures, and these efforts are obviously not enough to stop him.

An Lin obviously didn't know what Zhou Fangyuan wanted to do, but it didn't matter, Zhou Fangyuan gave her the task, and she just did it.

During this time, she stayed in the United States not simply to play, at least she also met some people, and in terms of company management, she also worked hard to recharge. So the people who established these two companies were directly handed over to her. This is also a test, if she can do it, Zhou Fangyuan will naturally continue to use her. If you can't do it, then I'm sorry, you can't do anything, just be a vase, Zhou Fang is far from unacceptable, but at least, An Lin is not within his acceptable range. If An Lin really can't show her value, then Zhou Fangyuan will not hesitate to kick her away. Anyway, she has enjoyed everything she should have enjoyed since this time, and Zhou Fangyuan didn't feel that she owed anything to the other party.

As for if things really come to this point, Will An Lin retaliate...... I'm sorry, Zhou Fangyuan is an entrepreneur, not a star, and the scandal has no impact on him at all. Secondly, Yuanfang Group is now wealthy, and there is only one An Lin, I don't believe that she can stir up any storms.

......

When An Lin went to apply for the establishment of two companies, Brother Xiao Li also called and informed Zhou Fangyuan that the company registered in the Cayman Islands had been established, and its name was AF Investment. The legal person of the company is Zhou Fangyuan, but his information is hidden, and no one can find out without his permission.

This made Zhou Fangyuan feel at ease, and the person who was responsible for the specific operation of this investment company was a talent recommended to him by Brother Xiao Li. This talent was poached from their recruitment website, and it is also well-known in the financial world. This kind of person, basically, as long as his information appears on the recruitment website, will be recorded as soon as possible, as long as a certain party has a need, he can find the other party instantly.

This person has long been noticed, although he himself deleted the content soon after uploading the information, but the website background is all recorded. And when Brother Xiao Li was about to persuade Zhou Fangyuan to get an offshore company, he had already poached this person.

This person's name is Du Tao, and he doesn't look good, but he actually has some skills.

After talking to the other party once, Brother Xiao Li decided to recommend him to Zhou Fangyuan. Brother Li's idea is very simple, he is optimistic about Zhou Fangyuan, so he wants to establish a better relationship with Zhou Fangyuan. As for Zhou Fangyuan, he has a strong talent in business, his vision is very vicious, his vision is very broad, and he is also very thoughtful, but there are some things, because of the restrictions of the growth environment, Zhou Fangyuan obviously can't think of so much. At this time, it is necessary for someone with rich experience like Brother Xiao Li to make a point, and Zhou Fangyuan is also kind and accepts Brother Xiaoli's suggestion, although the shares of Blizzard and Tengxun are gone, the relationship between the two is undoubtedly a little closer.

After taking care of these two things, Zhou Fangyuan finally put his mind at ease and came to the Blizzard headquarters.

The main work of the film project in the early stage was carried out at Blizzard's headquarters, and the content of the film, after intense discussions, was finally chosen on Alsace. As one of the most famous heroes among the players, it is undoubtedly the best choice for him to start the chapter.

Zhou Fangyuan planned to use three films to describe the first half of Alsace's life, which was also the result of everyone's discussion.

At present, the content of the trilogy has been selected.

The content of the first step is the fall of Arthas and the destruction of Lordaeron, and the Alsace that appeared at this time is still the youth version, the prince of Lordaeron in the righteous camp.

The second part is about the invasion of Akmund, the destruction of the world, and the great war between Arthas and Illidan.

In the third part, Arthas broke away from the control of the Burning Legion and returned to Northrend in the north alone to become the real Lich King.

Further on, there is the canonical history of World of Warcraft, from the Great War of the Alliance and the Horde to the emergence of Naxxramas. From the ancient god Cthun, to the coalition expedition to the Outlands. From Wrath of the Lich King, to the reappearance of Deathwing...... In the meantime, depending on the situation, it will be mixed with related side stories, such as the birth of the guardian dragon, such as the explosion of the Well of Eternity. The personal biography, as well as the history of a city and a place, will be shown in the form of a TV series. It is no exaggeration to say that the movie plan alone has at least fifteen films so far, and the TV series plan also has seven or eight thousands of episodes, if these can really be realized, then Warcraft will become one of the most famous and successful super IPs in history.

Of course, it is very difficult to really implement such a plan, especially in terms of plot, it is very common for Blizzard to eat books, which has become a part that has been criticized by the majority of players and the plot party. So this time, Zhou Fangyuan wants Mike and them to be ready, and there must be no more situations like before, so the World of Warcraft Chronicles has begun to be compiled, and the content has been supplemented by Zhou Fangyuan, which is already quite solid, and there is no problem in using several versions in the future.

As for the preparation of the movie, in addition to the script, it is the director and actors.

Needless to say, Cameron is an absolute super name, and with him joining, the shooting of the movie is no longer a big problem.

He's a true cinematic genius, but he's also unrepeatable. He is also one of the most striking directors of the 20th century, and in the future, he will twice set the record for the highest film investment, equaling the record for the number of Oscars won by a film, and directing "Avatar" to break the global box office record. When talking about James Cameron, people usually compare him to another director, Steven Spielberg, which also shows Cameron's status in people's minds.

His work is full of imagination, not only has he established himself in the film industry and is unique, but his films are also loved by many fans. He has a courageous spirit, never pandering to the box office, but desperately trying to make the ideal movie in his mind. At the same time, he is willing to burn money when shooting movies, and pursues gorgeous visual effects at any cost, which may be a big trouble for other investors. But Zhou Fangyuan doesn't think so, after all, only if you are willing to invest, you can have output, although investment may not really be successful, but with Cameron as a guarantee, the chance of success is more. Of course, Cameron is not unable to make great films at a relatively small cost, on the contrary, he is good at taking some simple methods to achieve good results according to local conditions. Cameron's masterpieces "Terminator" and "Alien 2" are not big investments. But that was before, the Warcraft movie was Zhou Fangyuan's ambition to make, so he must make a big production, even if he spends more money, it doesn't matter.

James is also one of the few directors with a background in stunt design, and in his work, stunt production is extremely important and revolutionary. In The Abyss, Cameron set a milestone in the development of cinematic stunts, in which Cameron creatively used various methods to represent underwater spectacles, and his underwater stunts inspired a group of filmmakers. In "Titanic", Cameron created an art created by combining high money and high technology. In "Terminator 2", he told the story of multi-line advancement in an orderly manner, and Cameron also showed excellent directing and editing talents in individual scenes. His film "Avatar" brought a historic breakthrough in 3D technology, and he used the unprecedented technology of real-time viewing of 3D shooting effects, while Cameron also shot in real life, making it difficult for audiences to distinguish between real and fake. Cameron is not only an excellent stunt engineer, but also has an imagination that ordinary engineers do not have, and in "True Lies" shows his talent for combining action and comedy.

At the same time, Cameron's films embody adult fantasies, but his personality is very childish. This kind of "childishness" is more reflected in the pursuit of the perfect goal in one's mind, regardless of any worldly limitations. This paranoid personality makes James Cameron seem to outsiders to be an eccentric person. And such a person is also what Zhou Fangyuan needs, because Warcraft itself is an illusory story, if there is not enough imagination and "childlike innocence", Zhou Fangyuan does not believe that this movie can be made well. Of course, Cameron always wanted to perfect his film because of his too strict requirements for movies, which made him get a demanding and domineering evaluation on the set. But this is also not what Zhou Fangyuan cares about, striving for perfection and not letting go of any flaws can make the movie more perfect, isn't this his purpose?

As for Duncan Jones, the director of Warcraft in the previous life, to be honest, Zhou Fangyuan is really not optimistic about him, not only because he has failed once, but also because of his resume.

Take a good look, almost all of the movies he shot are small budgets. "Whistle", "Moon", "Source Code", "Mute", ...... It can't be said that this director is not good enough, but he has not been exposed to real big productions. Even if he was given enough funds, he would not be able to use them all effectively.

Of course, directors also have growth, not that every director takes over big productions as soon as they come up, even Cameron started from a small cost. It cannot be denied that Duncan has absolutely no talent, after all, he has already proven his ability to the market in the future. But what about this? The big cost is not just a pile of money, how to use the knife to make every penny worth the money, or even the best value for money, this is what a director should think about.

In this regard, Duncan is undoubtedly a lot worse, the most correct way, he should start with a small cost, and then increase the cost of shooting his own movies little by little, and then try to add some content that requires a lot of special effects to his films, and increase the cost of making movies on a small scale, while accumulating experience. Then, at the most opportune time, take over the production of large budgets. This is the way he should grow up.

Instead of suddenly taking over a big-budget movie when he was just getting a little better, he didn't have that ability himself, and he would directly ruin a movie.

Of course, Duncan has not yet joined the film industry.

This is good news, but one thing is for sure, even if he has now joined the film industry, Zhou Fangyuan will definitely not choose him.

The director's problem is solved, but the actor's problem is more troublesome. To be honest, if it weren't for Cameron's name, I'm afraid there aren't many movie stars willing to join this movie, after all, it's just games that change movies, and games, how to say, are still very weak in this era. Of course, the cluster of games itself is not in decline, games have been around since ancient times, and they have not left people's field of vision for thousands of years. But online games, this is really not enough.

After all, the Internet itself is just in its infancy, not to mention online games, mainstream big movie stars can't look at such themes, which makes Zhou Fangyuan a little distressed, how to choose actors, this has become the biggest problem of this movie at present.
