What kind of price did Disney set for John, so that he, who has tens of millions of dividends, is willing to stay?

To be honest, Wu Yuan really couldn't guess, and he didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

John is indeed not too old, not even fifty years old this year, and Wu Yuan's retirement is just a joke.

If you are a person who has no pursuit, you can indeed stop working and enjoy life easily with tens of millions.

But John is not a man who doesn't have pursuits.

He loves the job of a producer, although he has been complaining that Wu Yuan is the shopkeeper, but he is never ambiguous and enjoys it.

Now it is estimated that it is not so easy to let him down all his work.

In addition, it is estimated that the treatment given by Disney is not low, which makes John excited.

Unintentionally exploring too much in this regard, Wu Yuan said directly: "John, you can make your own decisions, you don't need to ask me." ”

"Whatever decision you make, I'm for it."

"Okay." John nodded heavily and exhaled slowly.

Not to mention, he was still quite worried that Wu Yuan would mind, after all, he was the one who stood in the same trench with Wu Yuan, and now that Wu Yuan had sold the company, he wanted to continue to stay, and there was a little bit of "parting ways" or even "turning against each other".

Fortunately, Wu Yuan didn't think so at all.

"Then let's do it first, I'm a little tired from negotiating today, I'll go home and rest."

"Starting tomorrow, I will join the post-production of "The Martian" and try to finish the post-production of this film as soon as possible."

"I hope it can be finalized before the end of the year."

After saying goodbye to John, Wu Yuan went straight back to his villa in Los Angeles.

He did want to rest, but not soon.

After taking a nap for a while, and I don't know if it was jet lag or making up for the nap, at four o'clock in the afternoon, after Wu Yuan had a simple meal, he returned to the study, opened his laptop, and started working.

With the "end" of his career in North America, Wu Yuan also had to put more of his focus back on China.

Hey, it's not about his company's business, it's about his personal development direction.

That is, his next film shooting plan.

In recent years, the domestic film market has really gotten better.

Especially from this year and next, after the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" and "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" has exceeded 1 billion yuan one after another, the mainland film market has also reached the billion level.

The total box office of mainland films in 2013 exceeded 20 billion, and this is just the beginning.

There is no doubt that such a thriving and rising film market can already allow Wu Yuan, an "international predator", to enter.

In the past ten years, Wu Yuan has made a lot of movies in China, but if you really want to count them, only one "Gravity" can be regarded as a blockbuster.

And in fact, if "Gravity" is put in Hollywood, it cannot be regarded as an S-level blockbuster, at most it can only be regarded as an entry-level blockbuster, and it cannot be compared with real blockbusters such as "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Lord of the Rings", "Avatar" and "Star Wars".

It's not that Wu Yuan doesn't want to make such a blockbuster, but the Chinese film market can't accommodate such a blockbuster.

Before this, most of the so-called Chinese blockbusters in China were historical themes + Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars, and such a ride could be regarded as a Chinese blockbuster.

And Chinese historical films, with their unique oriental classical aesthetics, did occupy a place in the world for a time.

It's a pity that the appearance of this kind of Chinese-language blockbuster can only be regarded as a flash in the pan.

Chinese historical blockbusters are too difficult for foreigners to understand, even if Zhang Yimou and those directors on Hong Kong Island have tried their best to simplify the story and simplify the background, but except for Japan, a country that knows Chinese history very well, most foreign audiences just watch it.

If you watch one or two films, you may be interested in the gorgeous Chinese classical costumes and aesthetics in the movie, but after watching a few more, you will quickly lose interest.

In the past two years, the number of so-called costume blockbusters in the mainland has become less and less.

Instead, there are more and more so-called "Chinese fantasy movies", starting from Wu Yuan's "Painted Skin" at the earliest, and after "Walking with God" completely opened up Chinese magic and fantasy movies, in recent years, classic IPs such as "Painted Wall", "Legend of the White Snake", "Journey to the West", "Eight Immortals" and other Chinese Xianxia and demon classics have been put on the big screen.

Under the gimmick of 3D special effects, there are indeed many movies that have achieved good box office results.

Not to mention the next Spring Festival, there will be a "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" that will completely detonate the theme of Chinese fantasy and magic movies.

If you want to follow this trend, Wu Yuan's next Chinese film must be the most suitable choice for this theme, and it can make a real blockbuster!

After all, he is also a pioneer of Chinese magic movies, and "Painted Skin 1" was still the annual box office champion that year.

It's just that after thinking about it carefully, Wu Yuan gave up this seemingly optimal choice.

He really doesn't want to make fantasy and magical movies, and he doesn't have any "blockbuster" obsession, it's not that he doesn't make blockbusters.

From "Pirates of the Caribbean" to "Painted Skin" later, half of the "blockbusters" he made were magic movies, and the remaining half were science fiction movies.

Neither of these subjects is challenging for him anymore.

If you want to seek safety, then he will definitely be very safe to get "Monster Hunt" out, although the box office of this movie is a little water, but it is indeed a movie in line with the trend of the times, and it is the culmination of the magic five years in the mainland 2014-2017.

But as a director who has achieved great success and achieved great success at the box office and awards, Wu Yuan still has some personal pursuits.

This kind of purely commercial film, and it is simply a film created for the box office, he does have some resistance.

He wants to make some movies that are both commercial and at the same time, without losing the connotation, and more meaningful, not the kind of popcorn movie that smiles and passes after watching it.

For example, Let's Wrestle! Dad" and "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

Sitting in front of the computer, facing a blank screen, Wu Yuan was thinking about which movie to choose as the next shooting plan.

Let's Wrestle! Daddy is good, ambitious and inspirational, but it's an Indian film that is itself based on the story of a legendary Indian boxer.

Later, Wang Baoqiang also learned this routine and filmed "In the Octagon Cage" adapted from a true story in China.

If you want to make this "Wrestling! Dad", how to solve the problem of the source of the story, it's quite troublesome, he still has to go to India.

And the movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is indeed good, but the prototype of the story, Lu Yong, was only prosecuted by the court in 2014, and the trial of this case was completed in 2015.

If he made this movie now, it would be too early.

After thinking about it, he clicked on the keyboard.

On a blank document on the screen, a line of headings appears:

"Honey - Orphaned" (end of chapter)
