In terms of movies, if you count it carefully, Zhou Yu may be the only one who suffers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even Paramount, which didn't make any money, but as a producer, if a movie can enter the billion club, that is fame.

And the actors basically rose in popularity with this movie, and they all became popular.

As for the crew members, such as director Xu Ke and others, their popularity does not have much of a barrier to them, but their confidence is now skyrocketing!

Especially Xu Ke, the first billion club movie in the history of Chinese films, comes from his hands, this is ability!

After this movie, Xu Ke has become the first director of Chinese films!

Moreover, Xu Ke took over the second film made by Zhou Yu, that is, a movie proposed by Zhou Yu earlier, with Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Jiandou as the protagonists in the late Ming Dynasty.

Preparation for this film has begun. Xu Ke is now busy with this in Los Angeles.

The crew members are basically the same old team when they filmed "Emperor Han" before.

Xu Ke is now full of vigor - although he is not young, he is full of motivation to realize the ideal of Chinese films going to the world.

The producer won, the actors won, the crew won, even Daxia won, only Zhou Yu lost.

He didn't care.

That's what he intended.

The second movie with the historical facts of the late Ming Dynasty as the background and Lu Jiandou who died on the battlefield as the protagonist is about to start filming, Zhou Yu thought, after this movie comes out, what will those old and young people think?

Of course, perhaps no longer mindful of opinions.

More than a month has passed, and Chen Yuntao and Claire have forced those old and young people in California into a corner. It is estimated that if there is no accident, at most half a month, the net will be closed.

At that time, those people will be left with nothing!

And after the release of the historical film at the end of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how much they have an opinion, they can't do anything.

Zhou Yu actually wanted to see it with his own eyes and appreciate their appearance of vomiting blood, but he thought that they were all ants, so he didn't have to see it in person, right?

The women are now back on the farm, and they're all together. Although Qu Jing and Fang Tingting are still students at USC and have not yet graduated, it is the time for summer vacation, and school will not start until September, so they have some time to be with Zhou Yu.

The two girls especially like to drive the tortoise out to sea to play - earlier only Anji and Tina knew, when Qu Jing and Fang Tingting came back, Zhou Yu took them to meet the tortoise as if they were offering treasures. I didn't expect to be addicted to playing as soon as I played.

If you don't control the tortoise to swim around every day, you will feel uncomfortable.

In Qu Jing's words, it is called immortal, and it is very feeling!

Isn't a legendary creature like a whirling turtle always a ride for immortals!

Zhou Yu was speechless.

And the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and going to sea is basically a good choice, so it's up to them.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was hugging Qu Jing and Fang Tingting, two girls, both wearing swimsuits and sunbathing on the back of the tortoise.

"Brother Yu, I'm going to play a role this time."

Qu Jing lay in the crook of Zhou Yu's arm and pouted, "Do you think Liu Ru is better or Chen Yuanyuan is better?" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at the girl: "I don't think it's good." ”

Fang Tingting covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.

"Why?" Qu Jing wrinkled her nose.

"Although these two have been famous for hundreds of years, they are both from Qinglou." Zhou Yu said with a smile: "And this second movie is mainly based on historical facts, and I am afraid that these characters may not necessarily appear." And the script hasn't been finalized yet, so I don't know what the specific female characters are. ”

Saying that, Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "It's a good role to be loyal to Qin Liangyu, but Jingjing can't play it." I remember that Qin Liangyu also has a daughter-in-law named Zhang Fengyi, this role should be not bad. ”

"Qin Liangyu?" Qu Jing's eyes widened: "I've heard of it, it's a female general!" ”

"Not only is she a female general, but she is the only woman in the official history as a general. In the history books, many outstanding women are in the biographies of women, but she is not. This is a character, and he can fight well, which is amazing! Her husband is a descendant of the Fubo general Ma Yuan, and Ma Chao during the Three Kingdoms period is the ancestor of her husband's family. Their big family, similar to Lu Xiangsheng's family, surnamed Qin and surnamed Ma, basically died in battle. ”

"What about Zhang Fengyi?" Fang Tingting on the side interjected and asked.

"Killed in battle." Zhou Yu said.

"There are three most aggrieved stages in history, the first is the Wuhu Chaohua, the second is after the cliff mountain, and the third is the end of the Ming Dynasty. Every time I read it, it makes people panic. This second film, I'm afraid, is very depressing, far less heroic than the first movie, but I hope more people can understand that period of history... That is the era when the real summers are sinking..."

"We... It's okay not to say this? Qu Jing saw that Zhou Yu was a little unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Since it's too depressing, let's make a film that is not depressing." ”

"Not depressing?" Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I actually had an idea a long time ago. ”

The two women looked at him.

"Hollywood's superhero blockbusters are very good, and I estimate that a series of hero films will also be made."

Fang Tingting thought for a while and said: "The superhero blockbusters in the United States are all based on comics, and Brother Yu wants to shoot them, so he can't buy the copyright of comics?" ”

Zhou Yu laughed, shook his head and said, "I don't shoot American heroes." ”

"Huh?" The two women were surprised.

"I'm not without heroes." Zhou Yu said with a smile: "For example, Huo Quai, such as Lu Xiangsheng, this is a hero in history." Hollywood hero blockbusters, comics, and we are not without similar ones. Xingtian, Kuafu, and Houyi, isn't it? Myths and legends have a lot more than comics. ”

The two women were stunned.

Qu Jing's eyes flashed and said: "If you shoot Houyi, I want to play Chang'e!" ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help pinching her little nose: "The acting skills have to pass." Both of you have not graduated from USC yet, and you have been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, so don't be embarrassed if your acting skills are not up to par at that time. ”

"No, it won't." Qu Jing snorted.

Fang Tingting said: "I don't think we can be regarded as fishing and drying nets. And the fishing nets are supposed to be dried, otherwise they will break. ”

"You've got a point." Zhou Yu rubbed Fang Tingting's hair vigorously.

But he said, "But in this way, I'm really interested." Or, this time the two will be filmed together? ”

"Okay, okay!" Qu Jing chuckled: "I want to play two roles, one for each one." ”

Zhou Yu tapped her forehead: "Greedy little fool." ”

"I'm just not greedy enough." Qu Jing pouted.

Zhou Yu laughed.

"It's okay to shoot the two together. But since it's a series, let's start from scratch. Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said: "When the United States shoots comics, let's shoot myths." It may be more demanding for special effects, but it's good to take your time. ”

"The first part of this mythological series, starting with the struggle for hegemony among the three clans, the dragon and phoenix unicorn, fighting for the control of heaven and earth... The script is based on, hehe, there is just a suitable novel, that's it! ”

...

The next day, Zhou Yu called and invited the three directors, Xu Ke, Jiang Wen and Jackson, to the farm.

first told them his thoughts, and then said: "What do you think of the two movies going on together?" ”

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Xu Ke and the three of them each muttered, and Xu Ke said: "As long as the investment can keep up, there is no difficulty in filming the two together." ”

Jiang Wen nodded.

Jackson frowned and said: "According to Mr. Zhou, this mythological movie has very high requirements for special effects, and I can't be sure if Weta Digital can meet the requirements." ”

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "It's not a problem. I can invest more in the research of computer special effects technology. This series of mythological movies, I don't make specific requirements for the release time, when will it be done, when will it be released, how about it? ”

Jackson then said: "If that's the case, Mr. Zhou, I have no opinion. ”

Zhou Yu bowed: "That's good." Then next, there is the problem of the crew. He looked at Xu Ke and said: "Mythical fairy movies, I remember that Director Xu has experience, what do I mean, Lu Xiangsheng This movie, Director Jiang will be the director, and the mythical three clans will compete for hegemony, and Director Xu will be the director, what do you think?" ”

A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Wen's eyes, and he set his eyes on Xu Ke.

Xu Ke pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Then I'll try it." ”

Zhou Yu smiled at this time.

"Well, that's it. As for the script, there is a novel as a backing, I will find the author as soon as possible, Director Xu, you will make preliminary preparations first, and when the people arrive, they will discuss and set the script, and then prepare to start filming. ”

looked at Jiang Wen again: "Then, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Shen in Zhuxia and Lu Xiangsheng will be given to Director Jiang for you." Director Jackson, you're in charge of the special effects scenes of the two movies, how about that? ”

"Yes." Jackson nodded.

Jiang Wen also hurriedly responded.

"Alright then, that's it for today, when you go back, you can get ready. There is no need to worry about funds at all, I only ask for one, keep improving. ”

...

The first part of this mythological series, the basis of the script, is an online article - "The Tao is the Tao". Zhou Yu was going to invite the author of the book to discuss the script with Xu Ke.

Zhou Yu has observed and read several books written by this author, and he is very impressed. At the last annual meeting, Zhou Yu specifically mentioned it, but unfortunately this great god is no longer the author of Yuewen, so he didn't have the opportunity to see it.

This time to shoot this movie, Zhou Yu is ready to invite him.

In fact, if you come here and make a mythical movie, you don't need to invite this person to come over at all - because myths have no copyright, and they are much the same, and there is no copyright dispute. Therefore, it doesn't really matter whether you find this author or not.

If you want to save costs, you can do it yourself and ignore the rest.

But Zhou Yu won't do that.

He has his own ideas.

First, there is no need for him to take advantage of that, it would be too embarrassing.

Second, what he has always wanted to do is to operate the culture of Zhuxia to spread all over the world. This time, linking film and television with online literature will be beneficial to Yuewen's online literary offensive in the future. (To be continued.) )
