Chapter 404: The Next Plan
On a plane to Paris.
Wu Yuan is still thinking about "Ace Agent".
After discussing with John, he agreed to postpone the release of the film.
After all, this movie is not produced solely by Light Times, and the opinions of the new line must also be considered.
Since the new line attaches great importance to this movie, in the case that Wu Yuan is unwilling to put this movie into the Christmas file to fight, the new line is only willing to consider next year's summer file.
In North America, there is no concept of National Day files and Spring Festival files, and the summer files are the most popular schedules.
The results of the "Rush Hour" trilogy, the last two were set in the summer file.
Wu Yuan has nothing to do with this.
The success of "Twilight" in North America has filled the account of Light Age a lot, and this movie is a typical small cost and high income, with a global box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, which has made Light Age full.
Even with the investment pressure of "Interstellar", coupled with the production of the second part of "Twilight", as well as the preparation of "Neverending", the funds in the Light Age account are still very abundant, and the pressure to collect money is not great.
Even Wu Yuan is still thinking about whether to let the Light Era start the preparations for "The Martian" again.
The original work of "The Martian" has now appeared on the North American network, and Wu Yuan of course asked John to buy the film adaptation copyright as soon as possible.
After the explosion of "Avatar", the global market will usher in a science fiction movie boom for three to five years.
Not to mention that Wu Yuan's own "Interstellar" and Nolan's "Inception" will be released next year, which will ignite the fire of the global science fiction film market.
The market that I have finally opened up by myself cannot let others pick up the cheap.
Last time in Iceland, Wu Yuan had a good chat with Matt Damon, and in the face of his solicitation, Matt Damon was also happy to join.
With Matt Damon, the cast of "The Martian" is done, and the film is a complete one-man show.
But Wu Yuan still has to make Chinese films.
"Gravity" is a movie released in 2008, there is no new film this year, if you don't make a Chinese film next year, there will be no new Chinese film the year after.
has not released new films in China for three consecutive years, and the next few years will be the most rapid development of the Chinese film market, if Wu Yuan is absent from the mainland market, I am afraid that the loss will be great.
This loss is not a loss of money at the box office, and the box office of Wu Yuan is higher than that of the dock movie.
This loss is a loss of influence, a loss of fame.
The next few years will be the most "vibrant" years for the Chinese film market, with the box office market doubling every year, and the box office results being refreshed every year, which is the most turbulent years.
Even the box office record of "Gravity" held by Wu Yuan will be easily broken and doubled.
How could Wu Yuan miss such an exciting period?
Of course, he didn't mean to shoot "Thai Embarrassment".
He is now forced to shoot a three-vulgar comedy like "Thai Embarrassment", even if the box office is a big hit, it is estimated that the reputation will be rotten.
This is the same as Zhang Yimou going to shoot "Man Jianghong", no matter how high the box office is, he will be scolded.
"Young You" is good, this movie can not only win awards, but also sell box office.
The topic of school violence should also be paid attention to and taken seriously by the public.
Wu Yuan, who was originally just an idea, now feels more and more that filming "Young You" is a very good decision.
After this movie is filmed, it is possible to give Liu Yifei a domestic three-gold actress.
The premise is that she can perform at a level and perform in style!
"Sissi, let's make the movie "Young You" together next year." After thinking about it, Wu Yuan whispered to Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to him.
This year, he doesn't want to be so tired, and he will open another movie, and it is enough to finish the later stage of "Interstellar".
But next year there will be no rest.
Strive to finish filming "Young You" in the first half of next year and release it in the second half of the year.
This movie only needs to be edited in the later stage, without any special effects, and if the action is fast, it can be completed in three months, and the post-production can be completed in one month.
"Okay!" Liu Yifei said happily.
She has long wanted to challenge this kind of film with a literary nature.
If Wu Yuan hadn't been on a leash, she would have gone to pick up some miscellaneous literary films a long time ago.
There are still a lot of literary film directors in China who are looking for her to star, most of them come for her fame, hoping to invite her with a low salary, and then use her fame to sell the box office for the movie.
Some even only cost hundreds of thousands, hoping that Liu Yifei can see the excellent script and star in a broken bone.
For this kind of person who wants to pick up cheap, Wu Yuan has never had a good face.
If the script is really very good and has the potential to win awards, of course Wu Yuan doesn't mind Liu Yifei taking it at a low price, after all, their family is not bad for Liu Yifei's salary.
But in fact, these so-called "excellent scripts" that came to the door are basically like shit in Wu Yuan's eyes.
Liu Yifei stupidly believes that the script is really good, or that her Wenqing disease has attacked, so she likes this kind of Wenqing movie.
Every time Liu Yifei took the script to Wu Yuan with great interest, he was basically ruthlessly beaten back.
Wu Yuan really felt Liu Yifei's level of film selection.
In later generations, many people think that Liu Yifei's movie road is not smooth, and most of them have to blame Liu Xiaoli, blame Liu Xiaoli for giving her a bunch of bad movies.
But in fact, when Liu Xiaoli was Liu Yifei's agent, the movie she gave Liu Yifei was actually quite good.
From "The King of Kung Fu" to "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The Four Famous Catches" to "Tongquetai", although it cannot be regarded as a high-quality product, it is at least successful in the field of commercial films.
At least the box office results are very good, and even the overseas rights have been sold, expanding Liu Yifei's influence and fame.
But since Liu Xiaoli is old and completely lets go of the background, Liu Yifei chooses and receives films by herself, and the movies she takes are indescribable.
Although there are also reasons why good production and good scripts can't be handed to her, her own film selection aesthetics are definitely problematic.
The commercial is not commercial enough, and the literary is too literary.
She has to carry at least half of the pot on the selection problem.
The way of selecting young women in literature and art is really unbelievable.
In this life, because of Wu Yuan's control over her, Liu Yifei avoided the problem of film selection, although she didn't star in many movies, and only made one a year, but all of them were well-made, and all of them were box office hits, which established her status as an Asian superstar!
Liu Yifei also obeyed him, at least in terms of movies, Wu Yuan's authority is beyond doubt.
He said that whatever he wanted to shoot, Liu Yifei would shoot anything.
He said that the script is not good and it is a bad movie, so even if Liu Yifei likes it very much, he will think that Wu Yuan's opinion is right and wonder why it is a bad movie.
Over time, her film selection aesthetics have been somewhat corrected by Wu Yuan.
At least this year, Liu Yifei handed Wu Yuan a lot fewer scripts, and the quality has also improved a lot, which shows that the effect of sifting it out by herself is already very good.
However, because her life trajectory has completely changed in this life, she has not been suppressed by Huayi, and she does not need to go south to the Hong Kong circle, so movies such as "Love Notice" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are estimated to not find Liu Yifei here.
If everything goes well in "Young You", Liu Yifei's status in the circle will be even higher, and it will be impossible to make these movies!
Her future is in the Chinese blockbuster, in the Hollywood blockbuster! (End of chapter)
