When the time entered August, the entire Chinese film industry was basically pressed the pause button.

The mainland schedule in August is very deserted, after all, no one will be idle and want to compete with the Olympics for spectators.

How iron-clad is this?

Hey, don't say it, don't say it!

It's really iron-clad!

Wang Yuelun's "Ten Perfect and Nine Beautiful" was grandly released on August 1st!

The name Wang Yuelun may be a little unfamiliar to the public.

However, when it comes to Li Xiang and her husband, many people will suddenly realize.

Now Li Xiang's fame is still quite high, after all, he is one of the first hosts of "Happy Camp".

The film "Ten Perfect" is hard to describe.

In short, Wang Yuelun still earned it, and when no one grabbed food with him, he ate a box office of 7 million in the first week, and there should be no problem in returning to the original.

This movie will also become his masterpiece for the next fifteen years, at least so that when he becomes a full-time cook, his waist can be straighter and he can eat soft rice.

In addition to this movie, there is also a more powerful movie in August, Li Press's "The Incredible Hulk", which is scheduled for August 20, at the height of the Olympic competition.

I don't know if Marvel and Universal have a problem with their brains, or if Han Dong did it on purpose.

At this time, how many Chinese people will go to the cinema to watch it?

It's no wonder that "The Incredible Hulk" has hit the box office in China.

Wu Yuan didn't have the kung fu to eat radishes lightly, anyway, there were no movies in the era of light and shadow in August.

He's busy with something else.

Torch Relay!

The Olympic Games is actually an international public relations for China to face the world.

PR what?

Of course, it's a PR image of yourself!

Therefore, as the face and business card of the Chinese film industry in the world, coupled with the fact that he has always been clean and self-conscious, except for falling in love, there are not even many scandals, so he is naturally a representative of the high-quality public figures he likes above.

The opening ceremony did not let him be the chief director, it is a pity that the boss is already above, and this torch relay will definitely not let him be absent again.

Not only him, but also Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei, Zhang Guorong and others, as outstanding representatives of the film and television industry, were fortunate to participate in this torch relay.

Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei were registered in the capital, so they ran the last section, and they were Olympic torchbearers outside the third and fifth rings respectively.

Each person was also given a torch with their own number as a souvenir.

And after running the torch relay, there is only one important thing left for the month.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on August 8th!

In fact, the Ministry of Culture still cares about Wu Yuan, the showbiz leader, and sent him tickets for the scene in advance.

But because of some factors, Wu Yuan still didn't choose to go to the scene in person, and simply sent the ticket to the company as a welfare lottery.

Three girls from the Finance Department, as well as two men from the Propaganda Department, were lucky enough to draw tickets, maybe because of this event, they could make up two couples.

As for Wu Yuan himself, he lay comfortably at home, sitting in front of the TV with Liu Yifei's mother and daughter waiting for the live broadcast.

The large 55-inch TV is enough to broadcast the opening ceremony to the eyes of the three people.

However, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games this time is different from Wu Yuan's impression.

With the addition of the special effects company in the era of light and shadow, Zhang Yimou played a big game at the beginning of the opening ceremony this time.

The countdown of the footsteps formed by the fireworks is still there, but on the countdown of the footsteps, a giant holding a torch appeared in mid-air!

This is the TV special effects produced by the special effects company of the light and shadow era for half a year for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

If you look at it at the scene, of course, you can only see the fireworks, and you can't see the giants running in the air.

But sitting in front of the TV, you can see a golden glowing giant, stepping on the footsteps of the fireworks and running towards the bird's nest step by step.

When seven or eight billion viewers across the country and more than one billion overseas viewers around the world saw this scene, countless exclamations came out of their mouths.

Special effects technology is not unusual, but the special effects picture of "real-time calculation" on TV is very novel.

Yes, because there is a real-time fireworks guide on the spot, which makes many viewers in front of the TV subconsciously think that this golden giant is also a real-time calculated picture.

Astound!

Countless foreigners whose impression of China is still stuck in the red period of the fifties and sixties were stunned when they saw this scene!

Is Huaxia's technology already so powerful?

And the city full of high-rise buildings and bright lights in the background is actually the capital of China, isn't it New York or Los Angeles?

Perhaps, after the opening ceremony, more and more people will react, or through newspapers, networks and other media, knowing that this scene is actually a video made in advance, but it is very cleverly cut into the live broadcast screen.

But the shock they felt at this moment will definitely stay in their hearts forever and will be remembered again at the opening ceremony of every Olympic Games in the future.

"Wow, that's beautiful." Liu Yifei pointed to the TV with a smile: "Senior brother, this is made by your company, right?" ”

"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded: "Phyllis They did it for Director Yimou when they were free to do the special effects of "Gravity", and it took half a year of effort. ”

"The main thing is that they are too busy, and if they do it with all their might, they can do it in a month."

Wu Yuan poached Phyllis and his team from Industrial Light and Magic, and now it can be said that they are happy in Huaxia.

The living conditions in the capital are not much worse than those in the big cities of the United States, at least the life is still very comfortable, there is no shortage of Western restaurants, the transportation is convenient, and there are many bar streets.

It only took a month for them to adapt to life in the capital and enjoy it.

Take the salary of the United States and enjoy the consumption level of China, who is not happy in this exchange?

There are several special effects artists with families, all of whom are considering whether to take their wives and children over.

Anyway, there are bilingual or even all-English schools in Beijing, so it's no problem to go back to a university in the United States after learning about the same.

Wu Yuan was very happy to see this, and even gave them another 10% salary increase.

It's not just to keep them, but also because they did train a group of Chinese special effects artists for the special effects company in the light and shadow era, and they didn't hide their secrets.

Therefore, he also plans to give part of the special effects of "Interstellar" to the special effects company of the Light and Shadow Era, so that this group of Chinese special effects artists who have just started to practice more.

Of course, the big head must still have to find a company like an industrial troll in the United States to do it, and the scale of the special effects of "Interstellar" this time is a bit large, and this small team can't handle it alone.

"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the victory song is so loud."

"Sing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength."

Unconsciously, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has been carried out for most of the time, and there is no difference between the overall and Wu Yuan's impression.

Lin Miaoke also stood in the center of the stage and sang "Singing the Motherland" loudly.

"Lin Miaoke." Wu Yuan looked at the TV with some emotion.

She and Little Bunting should be regarded as the two most regrettable child stars.

One debuted at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the other debuted on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, both of which left a deep impression on the national audience, but later failed to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.

It is really difficult for child stars to transform and really enter the entertainment industry as adults.

counted, only the two in "Family with Children", as well as the little princess Guan Xiaotong in the Beijing circle, and Xiao Nezha, can be regarded as a real success.

Speaking of which, Yang Niao and Zhang Yishan of "Family with Children" are still working for the era of light and shadow.

The whole country's attention to the Olympics does not mean that the crew that is working will stop work because of this.

There are no big movie projects in the era of light and shadow, but TV series projects have been progressing in an orderly manner.

After the filming of "Soul Ferry", the company immediately started the filming of two TV series.

One "The Heirs", one "Let's Get Married".

The former is a pure campus idol drama, a very old-fashioned story of Cinderella and the rich second generation, but now TV dramas with this theme are very marketable.

How to say that "The Inheritors" is also better than "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower".

In this TV series, Yang Yiao and Zhang Yishan participated in it, they are both 16 years old this year, and it is just right to play high school students.

"Let's Get Married" is still looking for Gao Yuanyuan and Huang Haibo, they acted well enough, there is no need to change people.

Therefore, although the whole country is now paying attention to the Olympic Games, the crew of the Light and Shadow Era is still filming in an orderly manner.

Wu Yuan was still thinking about whether to arrange a TV series for Liu Yifei as well.

The little girlfriend is too salty, she makes a movie every year, and then she doesn't take on other dramas.

This can't be done, although her movie results are very good, but the national degree has always been eating the old book of "The Condor Heroes".

And she has never been able to enter the Korean market, which also makes Wu Yuan a little regretful.

If you don't win the Korean market, how can you be embarrassed to say that you are an Asian superstar?

The reason why Zhang Guorong was recognized as an Asian superstar back then was because he not only conquered the Japanese market, but also conquered the Korean market, and was the idol of a generation of Korean aunts!

It's just that the Korean market is too exclusive now, except for Hollywood's movie stars, stars from other Asian countries can't enter the Korean market at all.

But Wu Yuan didn't believe in this evil.

The Korean market is not impregnable.

His entire "Please Answer 1988", the entire "Lonely and Brilliant Gods and Ghosts", and then broadcast it through streaming platforms, bypassing the three major TV stations in South Korea, if you don't believe it, you really can't attract Korean audiences!

Didn't Netflix rely on this method to break into the xenophobic Korean market!

I don't cooperate with your local chaebol-controlled TV station, and I directly build a streaming media platform by myself, and I have the ability to block the Internet?

Of course, Haolaiwu understands that fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields, and Wu Yuan certainly understands this truth.

"Lonely and Brilliant Gods and Ghosts" can actually let Liu Yifei play it, a female high school student, her appearance is not impossible.

The kiss scene or something can be replaced by a borrowed position, or it can be changed directly, anyway, this drama focuses on aesthetic style, and it does not rely on kiss scenes and passion scenes to advance the plot.

If Li Dongxu and Kong Liu are matched with Liu Yifei, won't she easily enter the Korean market!

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan's mind was not on the opening ceremony, and he turned his head and said to his little girlfriend: "Sissi, the schedule for the first half of next year is vacant." ”

"In the first half of next year, the company has a very important TV series that wants to enter South Korea, you can play the heroine."

"We will shoot "Interstellar" again in the second half of next year."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei didn't say anything, but Liu Xiaoli, who had been sitting quietly on the side, frowned first.

"Filming a TV series?"

"This is a bit of a loss of identity for Sissi, right?"
