Wu Yuan's courtyard house, the main house.

On the messy table, there is a steaming bottle of Arctic Ocean soda.

Next to the Arctic Ocean soda, there is also a "Viewpoint" magazine of Huaxia News Agency.

On the cover of the magazine, a thin man with a few handfuls of yellow hair is printed.

"Top Ten Film and Television Figures-Film and Television Predator Deng Jianguo!"

Below the cover picture, there is also a line of blood-red characters printed "Kill the goats and defend the capital!" ”

Don't get me wrong, there isn't the slightest relationship between the two.

"Kill the goats and defend the capital!" "It is a well-known media this year that put forward the statement, saying that the problem of sandstorms in Beijing is due to the fact that the goats have raised too many goats and gnawed all the vegetation, so there is such a big sandstorm.

Don't laugh, this slogan is very popular this year, and it once made the herdsmen in the northwest crazy.

As for the cover character Deng Jianguo, this is a fierce man, who filmed "Anti-Corruption Storm" and "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview 1 and 2" in 97, and earned 110 million yuan by relying on advertising patches.

After that, he will also shoot TV series such as "Merry and Talented Ji Xiaolan", "Raptors Crossing the River", "Gege Wants to Get Married", "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview III", and made a lot of money.

With the courage to boldly invest in TV series, he was named the top ten people in the film and television industry this year!

In recent years, making TV series is indeed more impressive than making money from movies.

It's just that all this has nothing to do with Wu Yuan.

At this time, he was sitting at the corner of the table, holding his forehead in one hand and writing and drawing in a notebook with the other hand.

Since the summer vacation of school, Wu Yuan has locked himself in his home, and he has been thinking about his first movie without leaving the door.

The notebook in front of him was densely filled with script outlines.

This is a movie with a very complicated script, Wu Yuan wrote 11 pages of the script outline alone, and the specific details of the characters have even just begun.

No way, who called this movie "The Night the Comet Comed".

"The Night the Comet Commet", this movie is a famous movie in Wu Yuan's dream.

It's not because of how high the box office is, or how classic the movie is.

It's because the production cost of this movie is as low as only $50,000!

The reason why Wu Yuan chose this movie as his first work is because this movie does not burn money, but only brains!

Only eight actors, plus a small western-style building as a filming location, can be filmed in a week!

This kind of "suspense sci-fi film" that does not need frequent transitions in a small space, can be shot everywhere, and the script is also very deep, and it seems that the pattern is very small, but it is very hard, which is too suitable as a debut work.

On a seemingly uneventful night, a comet will pass by the Earth, and eight young men and women who are partying unexpectedly open the infinite box of the quantum paradox.

Countless parallel time and space intersected on this night, and a series of grotesque events unfolded.

There is no need to rely on big scenes and special effects, only rely on the story itself, and use a lot of foreshadowing dialogues and details to build a suspenseful and brain-burning fantasy story for the audience.

The film was well received after its launch, and was hailed as one of the best suspense sci-fi films of the year, appearing in the inventory videos of low-budget suspense sci-fi movies all year round.

In fact, before "The Night the Comet Comed", there was another ultra-low-budget sci-fi movie that was confined to one scene and filmed mainly for conversation.

"This Man is from Earth"

However, this movie is not in Wu Yuan's shooting consideration at all.

No one really believes the film's $350 million global box office, right?

No way? No way? No way?

In fact, the film was not even released in theaters, it was released in the form of DVD, and the market response was just like that.

As a result, I don't know why, on the Chinese Internet, this movie was inexplicably rumored to be a masterpiece, and it was also installed with a hat of "global box office 350 million US dollars".

To be honest, this movie borrows the mouth of the protagonist, and the output is all about philosophy, science, theology, and the history of Western society.

If Wu Yuan really makes this movie, whether it is a localized adaptation or not, it will not be a blockbuster.

And "The Night the Comet Comed" is different, this movie tells a fantasy story of "parallel time and space accidentally intertwined", which is very suspenseful and interesting!

People from any country and any cultural background, as long as they watch it carefully, can understand this movie, and they don't need to accept the clash of cultures and values.

The only pity is that this movie is a pure newcomer's work, more like an experimental work.

The hand-held camera is shaky and casual throughout the filming, and the picture composition is not rigorous, and the effect is more like a long-form volg, which reduces the commercial atmosphere of the film to zero.

And the first ten minutes of the movie are too casual and boring, although there is a lot of foreshadowing buried in the first ten minutes of chatting, but it is really difficult for the audience to survive these ten minutes, and wait until the comet crosses after that, and parallel time and space begin to cross.

If you want to have more commercial value, then Wu Yuan must make some weight loss for this movie and adjust the shooting technique.

This high-end game!

Fortunately, Wu Yuan felt that he could do it.

Wu Yuan, who has worked in the industry for 20 years in his dreams and has watched countless domestic and international movies, thinks that he can still handle such a single-scene composition storyboard.

Moreover, the shooting techniques of film cameras are really very different from digital DV, and the directors from the academy play with the lenses, which really have a sense of luxury.

As for the localization modification, as well as the scattered plot in the first ten minutes of the script, it is not very troublesome to change.

Because the original film is a movie without a script, the director just tells the actors the identities of the actors, their relationships and some basic settings, and then lets the actors play themselves.

So in terms of lines, except for some key lines that must be said, many other lines are improvised by actors, which leads to many lines that are too verbose.

What Wu Yuan has to do is to streamline the lines and refine and streamline a large number of lines with an excessively long sentence structure.

Without changing the core plot, make the actors' lines more concise and clear, pointing directly to the story, and then add more suspenseful conflict points into it, so that the boredom of the movie is reduced and the tension and excitement are increased.

After such a revision, not to mention what kind of box office dark horse this movie can become, Wu Yuan believes that it should be no problem to sell a lucrative copyright fee and adaptation fee for the finished film.

Yes, Wu Yuan never thought that this movie would expect to make a lot of money at the domestic box office.

He made this movie in the three major fantasy film festivals in the world!

What are you kidding?

Is there a market for mainland films in 2000?

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" only has a box office of 15 million!

Why do the fifth- and sixth-generation directors in China love to run to various film festivals in Europe with their films every year?

Is it really all about fulfilling your artistic ambitions?

Fart!

That's because the opening of major film festivals in Europe is also a grand film fair, where buyers from all over the world gather!

The big guys are rushing to sell films!

Foreigners buy movies in dollars!

A film dealer sells tens of thousands of dollars, and if he sells three or five of them, he will recover the cost, and if he sells a dozen of them, he will make money by blood!

And this money doesn't have to be shared with the theater chain, the producer makes a pure profit!

As for the domestic box office, it is the icing on the cake!

In this year, it is absolutely impossible to make a movie without selling copyrights, and expect the mainland market to do so!

Of course, Wu Yuan did not want to give up the box office market in the mainland.

After spending ten days of hard work and revising the script of "The Night the Comet Comed", Wu Yuan finally went out, returned to school with the script, and found the head of the directing department.

Now if a movie wants to be released in China, it has to be named a state-owned studio.

At this time, the identity of a student of Wu Yuan Film Academy is of great use!
