Chris Columbus.

A name that Wu Yuan is very familiar with.

He was the director of the first three films in the Harry Potter film series.

But what is more familiar to Wu Yuan is that according to the original trajectory, he should have been the producer of the "Wonderful Night at the Museum" series.

The original story painting of "Wonderful Night at the Museum" was first seen by him and his friends, and then bought the film adaptation rights, and Chris Columbus personally took charge as the producer and pulled up the production of the film.

However, in this life, because of Wu Yuan's intervention, Chris Columbus missed out on "Wonderful Night at the Museum".

After filming "Harry Potter", he went to play tickets and acted in several movies, also worked as a producer to do several low-budget comedies, and also worked as a producer of a movie, and his resume is still very brilliant.

Disney did not find Gore Verbinski, the director of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy that Wu Yuan had been in contact with before.

nor did he find Rob Marshall, the successor who took over "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" in the original time and space.

I actually found Chris Columbus!

This surprised Wu Yuan.

didn't look for Gore Wibinski, he can understand that when he did the first part, Disney himself was not confident, and it was understandable to let Gore Wibins, a small director, gamble.

But now that the trilogy has become popular all over the world and has become one of the most influential movie IPs in the world, Disney doesn't dare to gamble on Gore Wibbins, a small director, with such a popular theme.

But Rob Marshall, who was supposed to be Disney's successor, is a big director!

He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director in 2002 for the musical song and dance film "Chicago", and "Memoirs of a Geisha", a film that became famous in China, made the international chapter a film of the international chapter, and he also directed it.

Why did Rob Marshall miss out on "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" under the instigation of Wu Yuan, a little butterfly, in this life?

Wu Yuan asked Depp on the side, but Depp was also unclear about the details of Disney's choice of director.

He only knew that Disney might have taken a fancy to Chris Columbus's experience in directing magical movies, so they chose to find him.

After all, there are a lot of magical creatures in Harry Potter.

Talking about this, Depp also asked Wu Yuan curiously: "Daniel, why don't you continue to make magic movies?" ”

"I think you're doing a great job of making this kind of movie!"

In the past few years, when "Pirates of the Caribbean" was still in full swing, Wu Yuan was an authority in the field of magic movies, and I don't know how many directors who came to the dock had to find out "Pirates of the Caribbean" and watch it repeatedly when making magical and fantasy movies, and figure out Wu Yuan's shooting techniques.

Even the "Painted Skin" he filmed in Huaxia is quite well-known in the director circle of Hollywood because of the banner of oriental magic, and many directors who make magic films have brought the disc to watch.

Although there is a high probability that it is a pirated disc.

It can be seen from this how much influence Wu Yuan has in the director of Hollywood magic films.

After all, his three "Pirates of the Caribbean" have made a global box office of nearly $3 billion

However, he, a magical giant, after filming three Pirates of the Caribbean, patted his ass and ran to toss literary films and science fiction films, which surprised countless industry insiders.

Faced with Depp's puzzlement, Wu Yuan explained with a smile: "Depp, taking over the series "Pirates of the Caribbean" is just a job for me. ”

"And science fiction is what I really love."

Wu Yuan danced and said: "Since the creation of film, over the past hundred years, the art of film has undergone several innovations, from the silent film era to the sound film era, from the black and white film to the color film era. ”

"And now, film technology is about to usher in a new era, mature IMAX technology, and 3D visual graphics, all of which will bring a complete revolution to the current film industry!"

"In the next ten or twenty years, world cinema will enter the era of IMAX 3D movies!"

"This new era will not completely replace the era of 2D movies, but it will usher in an unprecedented upheaval in science fiction movies!"

"You can see Avatar, and the success of this film proves to be a testament to the audience's desire for a comfortable visual experience, and they are also willing to pay a higher ticket price for advanced cinematic technology and advanced sensory enjoyment."

"And only science fiction movies can make the most of this new technology! Bring high-level sensory enjoyment and exciting viewing experience to the audience! ”

"IMAX and 3D cinema technology have given science fiction a new lease of life!"

"The 21st century will be the romantic era of science fiction movies!"

The emergence of IMAX 3D movies has little impact on other types of films such as romance films, war films, comedy films, reality films, and literary films, and even has negative effects.

But for science fiction movies, the emergence of IMAX 3D technology has simply set off a technological revolution.

In the future, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DC Cinematic Universe, the Transformers series, and even mecha monster movies like "Pacific Rim" will all be able to sweep the world because of the emergence of IMAX 3D technology.

Although, these movies are often criticized for being just a simple stack of special effects, industrial garbage, and popcorn movies with a simple story.

But it is undeniable that under the innovation of IMAX 3D technology, audiences around the world have been conquered by special effects blockbusters, and Hollywood's box office results have shown explosive growth.

In the next 15 years, Hollywood's global box office will break $1 billion, from less than 10 now, to more than 100, of which ninety percent are IMAX 3D movies, and science fiction films occupy the majority of them!

Superhero movies are also science fiction movies!

No one in the world, even Cameron, who made the first IMAX 3D movie, understands more than how much this technology has changed the global film industry.

There is no doubt that in the next 15 years, global commercial films will belong to special effects blockbusters, and only special effects blockbusters can sell more than a billion dollars at the box office around the world.

In special effects blockbusters, science fiction movies are the main force in the main force.

Wu Yuan is a person who is good at embracing the future, and he will naturally choose to bet in the field of science fiction movies.

At Hollywood, his focus for the next five to ten years is to make IMAX 3D sci-fi movies.

In China, he also wants to embrace the new era and set off the era of Chinese special effects blockbusters!

And the Chinese special effects blockbuster is not only the theme of science fiction, but also the theme of Xianxia that belongs to Chinese culture!

The era of light and shadow has long been ambitiously laying out the universe of its own works, using the "Soul Ferry" TV series to unify the worldview of several magic movies.

The soul ferryman of "Walking with God", the demon and the demon hunter in "Painted Skin" are just appetizers.

In the next five to ten years, Wu Yuan plans to create a Xianxia movie universe in China that belongs to the era of light and shadow!

From Shushan Sword Immortal to Strange Ambition to the Internet, the future prospects of Huaxia's special effects blockbusters are not inferior to Haolaiwu superheroes!

Wu Yuan, who has always walked on two legs, has to grasp both science fiction and Xianxia, and both hands must be hard!

"Depp, my next new movie is still a science fiction film, but unfortunately the actor has already been set Matt Damon, otherwise I would still like to work with you again." Wu Yuan said to Depp with a smile. (End of chapter)
