Creating your own company's cinematic universe is certainly not just a slogan.

Since you want to make a first-stage movie in five years, you must have a reasonable plan.

Of course, Wu Yuan had already made plans and preparations.

"The filming of the third part of "Soul Ferry" will be taken this year."

"And in the plot of the third part, it is necessary to cram more of the background view of the company's cinematic universe."

"First of all, the cultivator system, that is, the immortal cultivators in the network now."

Wu Yuan knocked on a whiteboard brought by the staff and wrote the four big words "cultivation system" on it.

The current network is actually quite mature.

"The Legend of Mortal Cultivators" began to be serialized in 2007, and it has been serialized for almost four years now.

The cultivation system of cultivating immortals, such as Xiantian, Zhuji, Jindan, and Yuanying, is also widely spread on the Internet and has a high reputation.

In a few months, "Covering the Sky" will start serialization.

Before covering the sky, Chen Dong had written several Internet masterpieces.

Not to mention that potatoes, three less, I eat tomatoes, and dreaming into the god machine and others have become popular on the Internet.

The five whites of the Central Plains have basically taken shape.

They have refined and integrated the originally scattered, disordered, and contradictory Chinese myths and legends and fantasy literature of the early Republic of China into a mature "cultivation system".

The executives of the Light and Shadow Era sitting here are all elites in the industry, so naturally they don't have the time to pay attention to online literature that can't be on the table now.

But Wu Yuan has been paying attention.

"Unlike Marvel and DC Comics, their superhero system does not have a clear power system, the poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology."

"Fight the big boss and rely on the explosion to win."

"This kind of expression is indeed suitable for a movie, after all, a movie lasts for an hour or two, and there is no time to explain a huge cultivation system to the audience."

"Like the Internet, it takes millions of words to build a huge worldview."

"We need to learn, but we can't copy it all."

Wu Yuan said as he drew a circle on the "cultivation system" on the whiteboard: "In the movie universe of our light and shadow era, the repair system must be required, but it is only a standard used to measure strength, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it. ”

"For example, those immortals in myths and legends are simply divided into earth immortals, heavenly immortals, gods and golden immortals."

"Before becoming immortals, cultivators who cultivate in the human realm are divided into Zhuji, Jindan, Yuanying, and Transforming Gods."

"The higher the realm, the greater the ability."

"And this hierarchy is to be common in all movies."

"In this way, it is very convenient for the audience to understand what kind of strength each character has, so that they can make comparisons and substitute comparisons."

"There is a very interesting joke on the Internet, that is, many netizens will always discuss whether Kakarot in "Dragon Ball" is stronger, or DC's Superman is stronger."

"If Superman and Kakarot PK, who will win."

"The ninja in "Naruto" or the superpower in "One Piece", who is more powerful."

"Discussions like this have always been on the Internet."

"It's fun, but the premise is that the stories are relatively independent, you don't see Superman in Dragon Ball, and you don't have rubber fists in Naruto."

"But the movie universe we want to do is different, the story that happened in Shushan and the story that happened in Chang'an happened in the same world."

"The goblin chaos of the Han Dynasty and the hidden immortal gate of the modern era are things that happened in the same world and different eras."

"Therefore, we need a unified power system to keep the story from chaotic, so that fans can simply understand the connection between these stories that happened in different periods and regions."

How to integrate the different films of the future light and shadow era into a whole, and ensure that the story does not collapse, this is something that Wu Yuan has been thinking about when he is idle.

The mythological system stories of China are different from the superhero movies of Marvel and DC.

Superheroes themselves were born under a system, and since the comics were serialized, they have been constantly adding characters to them, all of which are original characters.

Although they don't have a clear power system, they all exist in an era, and they can directly PK the big brawl and use the battle scenes to distinguish the high and low.

But the movie universe based on Chinese myths and legends and stories of cultivating immortals in the era of light and shadow is not this time.

Just now, there are already three systems of the world, the fairy world, and the underworld, and the world is divided into different eras, "Painted Skin" with the background of the Han Dynasty and "Soul Ferry" with the modern background, and then "Shushan" IP will be made, and there will be stories from the background of the Tang and Song dynasties, and it is even possible to integrate some networks into it.

These chaotic stories must require a unified power system to ensure that the story does not collapse.

"In the first phase, I plan to make 6 films."

"From the very beginning of "Shu Mountain", the background of "Shu Mountain" was anchored in the Han Dynasty, and it was linked with the "Painted Skin" series."

After that, 1-2 derivative films based on the stories of "Journey to the West" and "Eight Immortals" will be launched, which will lead to the concept of "immortals". ”

In the end, with a major event movie with a modern background theme, these "superheroes" of the Han and Tang dynasties gathered modern times to resist disasters together. ”

"This disaster can be the sealing of the sealed demon world, or it can be the great turmoil in the underworld, in short, like "The Avengers", there will be an earth-shattering battle!"

Wu Yuan said in a shocking voice, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Yes, his plan is actually to follow the path that Marvel has already taken and cross the river in the footsteps of his predecessors.

Although this predecessor is still groping for it.

But Wu Yuan knows how good it is to make a single movie with Marvel, and then use a big movie to bring together all the protagonists of a single movie to come to a wave of big events!

Relying on excellent special effects technology and superimposed on the visual experience brought by IMAX 3D, this kind of superhero commercial film is too easy to sell for money!

Hollywood was once dominated by Marvel's superhero sci-fi movies for ten years, relying on such a routine.

That's it!

It is not required to be able to rely on the international hegemony of Haolaiwu like Marvel and sell movies to the world, but it should be no problem to win the market of Asia.

Moreover, the Xianxia and classical charm full of oriental aesthetics may also interest Europeans and make efforts in Europe.

Don't underestimate the attraction of Chinese culture, more than ten years later, all kinds of makeup and new Chinese Hanfu styles of Chinese fairy puppet dramas are being learned by Korea, to be precise, they are stealing.

Rather than letting other countries steal the culture of China and then use it to attack Asia, it is better to go to the age of light and shadow yourself!

"Has the copyright of "Zhu Xian" been negotiated?" Thinking of this, Wu Yuan immediately asked the person in charge of the company's copyright department. (End of chapter)
