Lu Yu's interview style is very special, he rarely does his homework beforehand, and the questions are wild. Thinking of what to say, she often asked the guests extremely embarrassed, and then she smiled.

Lu Lin naturally couldn't escape the embarrassing conversation, so he listened to the other party: "Then you should have talked about a few relationships over the years, right?"

"Well, it's been discussed!"

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Lu Lin smiled and shook his head, Lu Yu said, "It's hard to say?"

Lu Lin nodded, "Well, because it's been a long time, there's no point." ”

"Completely let go?" Lu Yu asked to the end, and Lu Lin nodded again.

"But I think it's time for you to fall in love!"

Lu Lin smiled, "Meet the right one, talk!"

Lu Yu said: "Then can you tell me, what type of girl do you like?"

At this time, the audience below kept shouting "oh oh", obviously very curious about the question.

Lu Lin thought for a while and said, "It's a little sunny!"

"Why do you say that?" Lu Yu asked.

Lu Lin said: "Because I'm very boring, I don't bother to speak a lot of the time." I hope the other party will talk more, and I don't have to bother to find a topic. ”

Lu Yu smiled, "It's strange, it's the first time I've heard such criteria for choosing a mate!"

Lu Lin smiled awkwardly and didn't answer. Lu Yu had no choice but to change the topic, "Then what are you thinking about when you don't speak?"

Lu Lin said: "I want to work, the movie, the publicity of this one, and the script of the next one!"

Lu Yu was surprised: "You're thinking about the next one now, is it also a blockbuster?"

Lu Lin nodded, "Of course!"

Lu Yu was curious, "Can you tell me what the subject is?"

Lu Lin paused before he said, "Hou Yi shoots the sun!"

Lu Yu exclaimed: "Hou Yi shoots the sun, it should be very good-looking, but it is quite exciting!"

Lu Lin mentioned "Houyi Shooting Day" on the show, naturally not to create hot spots and indiscriminately set off cannons, but after careful consideration.

It is a good choice to make a special effects blockbuster with Chinese culture as the background and create a torrent of "Buddha is the Way".

However, the "Buddha Book" system is vast and there are many characters, and the entry point is a very important issue. First of all, it can't be too complicated, if you introduce too many settings or characters that the audience is not familiar with in a film, it will seriously affect the viewing experience.

For example, the blockbuster "Asura" with an investment of 750 million yuan tried in vain to build a magical world with a single film on the basis of the blessing of IP such as the original novel, but the result was a flood of bad reviews after its release.

On the other hand, Zheng Baorui's Journey to the West series, although the reputation has always been very low, the box office of the three films has accumulated 3 billion, which is the value of IP.

The story of Hou Yi shooting the sun is widely known to the Chinese people, and in the "Buddha Book", this is the fuse of the second catastrophe of heaven and earth, the "Lich War". In the context of the demon clan governing the sky, the witch clan governing the land, and the two clans fighting each other, the cause and process of the Houyi shooting day are worth mentioning.

And once the "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" is successful, the prequel can shoot the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn clans to fight for hegemony, and the follow-up can directly go to the "Lich War".

In contrast, although Yang Jian, Nezha and others are well-known enough, their generations are too young to kick off the prelude to the flood. Therefore, Lu Lin thought about it for a long time before deciding to use "Houyi Shooting the Sun" as the entry point to build the "Flood Universe".

After chatting awkwardly for a while, the show was recorded. Lu Lin directly drove his assistant Gao Wen back to Huairou Film and Television Base. But the news that he is going to shoot "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" has already spread in the circle.

The first person to call was Wang Changtian, who was not polite, and asked how much he invested. Lu Lin said that it is expected to be 500 million, so he didn't scare off the big boss Wang's mobile phone, and it would have to be over 1.5 billion at the box office to make a profit! Although Lu Lin is already a big director with a box office guarantee, there are still risks! But Wang Changtian didn't want to miss the opportunity, and said that he was willing to participate in the investment.

The story of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" should be elaborated in the context of the Lich War, and it is the fuse of "killing and robbery", and the movie duration must not be like the previous two films, which can be done in more than 90 minutes, and it is initially expected to be 120 minutes.

With an extra thirty minutes, the cost of special effects will definitely skyrocket. In addition, this is the pioneering work of the "Flood Universe", and the story and special effects must be more refined, and it is impossible to say that the production cost will not rise.

chatted with Wang Changtian for a while, and another phone call came in, but it was Huayi's little Mr. Wang. Everyone is in the circle of the capital, looking up and not looking down, although there has been no cooperation, but the face is still gone.

Wang Zhonglei first asked whether the project of "Houyi Shooting Sun" was true, and then expressed his willingness to participate in some of them. Lu Lin said that he would hold a project approval meeting in a few days and invite Huayi to come over and discuss it together.

Immediately after that, Yu Dong of Bona, Han Shanping of China Film, Mr. Li of Xiaoma, Wanda Pictures and other aspects all called, and Song Ge became the last one.

"I heard that you broke the news on "Lu Yu's Appointment" and wanted to shoot "Houyi Shooting the Sun"?"

Lu Lin hurriedly apologized: "Well, I haven't had time to mention the idea I had when I was filming here in Huairou. I felt that the opportunity was good during the interview just now, so I broke a big news. ”

Song Ge smiled: "You are too sudden, I also received a lot of calls just now, and I still told people that I didn't hear the letter!"

Lu Lin hurriedly said a few more words, and then continued: "By the way, my initial plan for this film is to invest 500 million!"

Song Ge exclaimed: "So much? Now the company is expanding rapidly, and there are too many projects, but there is not much money." ”

Lu Lin said: "So this time, I plan to introduce more capital, and our company can make half of the investment." ”

Song Ge said: "Half of it is 250 million!" But then I thought that the results of "The Alliance of the Heavenly Gods" were gratifying, and the box office account sharing industry would be in hand in three or four months, and the preparation of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" would take two or three months!

"That's fine, what are your thoughts on this film?" asked Song Ge.

Lu Lin said: "I think so, don't want big-name actors, use all second- and third-tier old drama bones." The witch characters who appear in the play are all played by real people, and the motion capture shooting is completed, and the post-production effects must be the kind of Hulk. ”

Song Ge said: "A bunch of Hulks, this is not a small difficulty!"

Lu Lin laughed and said: "Of course, that is, I am famous now, if I mentioned this a year earlier, everyone would have to treat it as a joke, right?"

Song Ge said in his heart: "Nonsense, can this difficulty level be the same, how big the lineup is in "The Return of the Great Sage", and how many actors are in "The Alliance of the Heavenly Gods"! 'Hou Yi Shooting the Sun' is adapted from the content in "Buddha Book", and the characters, contradictions, and backgrounds involved in it are too complicated for non-experienced directors to operate. ”
