"I hope so."

In the face of Wu Yuan's impassioned speech, John, an old oilman, was not aroused by any psychological fluctuations.

However, his point of view is the same as Wu Yuan's, "Interstellar" will definitely succeed!

Light Times has borne half of the investment cost of this movie, and has thrown 100 million dollars into it!

To be honest, this money is not too profitable.

In the "Twilight" series, the investment in a single film is only at the level of tens of millions of dollars, but it can be exchanged for a global box office of six or seven billion US dollars.

"Interstellar" costs $200 million, and can the film gross more than $3 billion?

This is patently impractical.

Coupled with the $200 million in publicity and distribution expenses spent by Universal, they have to take more distribution shares.

In fact, even if the box office of "Interstellar" is as strong as Avatar, if you calculate the profit ratio alone, it may not necessarily bring more profits to the Light Age than "Twilight".

But a film company, making high-investment blockbusters is the only way, blindly making small and medium-cost movies, although it can make money, but it can't form the company's influence.

There are many high-investment movies made by Hollywood Dock Six, and they can't return to their costs just by selling at the box office, or the profits are very low, but they still keep making blockbusters.

On the one hand, blockbusters can make money by selling DVDs, peripherals, co-branded products, copyrights and other aspects.

On the other hand, it is also to improve the company's influence.

The light era now has an annual net profit of two or three hundred million US dollars, and sometimes it can be four or five hundred million, which can already withstand this kind of commercial blockbuster project with an investment of one or two hundred million, even if it loses, it will not hurt the bones.

So John fully supports Wu Yuan to make blockbusters.

"Daniel, after the release of "Interstellar", is your next movie going to start preparation, the movie that Matt Damon said it would be?" No, John asked expectantly.

Light Times' filming plan for next year is still very loose, in addition to continuing to prepare for "Twilight 4", there is only one "World War Z" that has been delayed for a long time and is finally about to start filming.

Now the time is ripe for the cinematization of World War Z, which will be shot in IMAX 3D next year.

With the current scale of the Light Age, it is already possible to launch three film projects at the same time.

"That movie." Wu Yuan groaned and thought: "Don't be in a hurry, let's pair up with Matt first, and then start preparations next year, and strive to be released in 2012." ”

"Speaking of which, I have been away from Chinese fans for a long time, and the last commercial film "Gravity" released in China was in 2008."

"Next, I should make a movie here in Huaxia first."

Although the commercial film market in China has not yet grown to the golden age of billions of single-film box office, after experiencing the baptism of "Avatar", the number of domestic fans willing to enter the cinema to watch movies has indeed more than doubled.

The next few years will be the years of the big explosion of the domestic film box office, and the mainland box office record of domestic films held by his "Gravity" may be broken soon.

The dignity of the director of the No. 1 commercial film in China, Wu Yuan still intends to defend it.

But this time he doesn't plan to make any more special effects blockbusters that require a lot of special effects.

Special effects blockbusters have high investment and long production cycles, and it's really tiring to make one.

From the beginning of the preparation to the release of a "Interstellar", it took him a year and a half and nearly two years, which is really not an easy thing.

On the Hollywood side, he has to do "The Martian", which has relatively few special effects and pays more attention to plot interpretation, and he doesn't want to make special effects blockbusters in China.

And to put it mildly, except for "The Wandering Earth", there are no very good special effects blockbusters in Chinese movies.

Of course, Wu Yuan will not do that kind of low-budget comedy.

Although "Thai Embarrassment" can really make money, he really can't pull this face, so he just instructed the company to contact Xu Zheng's team.

Hong Kong Island film director Ye Weimin's "People in Embarrassment" was released in the mainland in early June, and the box office performance was very good, and Xu Zheng was also hot.

It's not surprising that the Light and Shadow Era took the initiative to contact him.

Wu Yuan didn't plan to let the light pick up the leak of "Thai Embarrassment".

This money should make the era of light and shadow work hard and pocket it.

As for himself, Wu Yuan has been pondering recently and wants to shoot the whole feature film.

After so many years, among the Chinese commercial films he has made, there is really no one that can be regarded as a serious feature film.

"Your Name" should be regarded as a youth fantasy genre, "Painted Skin" is a magic movie, and "Gravity" is a space science fiction ......

He has never made a commercial film that completely uses the plot story as the core selling point, and the plot story that is completely generated by the collision between several characters.

For example, he has not set foot in commercial dramas such as "Let the Bullets Fly", "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Nobody" and "Donkey".

Of course, it is a bit of a pity that movies such as "The God of Medicine" and "The Nameless" were made in 2010, and the box office market could not accommodate these good films.

But there is a movie, Wu Yuan still has some ideas.

"After the release period of "Interstellar" is over, I will return to China to prepare my new Chinese movie." Wu Yuan spread his hands and said to John: "This movie will not use any special effects technology, so it will be shot quickly, and it will be completed by the middle of next year at most." ”

"When the time comes, I will come to the United States to prepare "The Martian", and everything will be in time."

Wu Yuan, who was born tired, still couldn't escape this state of work after being busy for two years and half a year off.

"OK, your movie, you can watch it yourself." John shrugged his shoulders, he couldn't control Wu Yuan's shooting plan.

"Then let's say so, I'm going to have to meet up with Universal and get ready to start the promotion of Interstellar." Wu Yuan got up and smiled.

At the same time, not long after Wu Yuan arrived in Los Angeles, there were paparazzi on the Internet in North America who released the news that Wu Yuan had returned to the United States.

Wu Yuan's new movie "Interstellar" is no secret in the United States.

Unlike Nolan, he doesn't have such a harsh idea of secrecy, and the movie has had a press conference since it was launched, and the publicity has not been left behind.

Now most of the North American fans who pay attention to the movie and Hollywood have already known the news that "Interstellar", a movie directed by Wu Yuan, is about to be released.

For Wu Yuan, the director of the $1 billion box office club, North American fans are still looking forward to it.

In particular, when "Interstellar" is also a film shot with native IMAX 3D shooting like "Avatar", North American fans are even more interested.
