When Wu Yuan's hand and Zhang Yimou shook together, Zhang Yimou's life ushered in a new page.

Soon, Zhang Yimou signed a cooperation agreement with Light and Shadow Times.

The new Zhang Yimou Studio, which was established by the Light and Shadow Times in cooperation with Zhang Yimou, was immediately established.

In this new studio, Zhang Yimou accounts for 80% of the shares, and Light and Shadow Times accounts for 20% of the shares, and the specific work and operation are completely handled by Zhang Yimou and the agents he cooperates with.

And the economic contracts of the artists brought by Zhang Yimou were also transferred to the hands of the new Zhang Yimou studio.

These people can't be regarded as artists under the Light and Shadow Era, but they can have a cooperative relationship with the Light and Shadow Era, at least more intimate than the artists of other companies.

After all, this studio also has a 20% stake in Light and Shadow Times, even if Light and Shadow Times does nothing, 20% of the profits earned by the studio's contracted artists will also be distributed to Light and Shadow Times.

Who is this money for?

In the case that there is no suitable actor selection in his own company, when the project of the light and shadow era invites actors, it will definitely be more biased towards Zhang Yimou's studio, which is also a good thing for Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ni and others.

To be honest, although they are Mou girls, after signing a contract with Zhang Yimou's studio, their development is not good.

After all, Zhang Yimou is not a professional artist brokerage company, and the studio he established is mainly for his personal service, and signing artists is just incidental.

Zhang Yimou's half-filmed "Return" was also taken over by the Light and Shadow Era.

Now Zhang Yimou and the Light and Shadow Times have cooperated to open a studio, and the Light and Shadow Times will also support Zhang Yimou's studio with excellent agents and plan the future path for these Mou girls, which is definitely a great thing for Zhou Dongyu and others.

There's no way, the golden period of actresses is only a few years, if there is no snow hidden in these companies, it is better to hide it for five to eight years, then how many years will there be a chance to make them popular?

Maybe it's really time to run.

Anyway, whether it is Huang Shengyi, Zhang Yuqi, Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ni, Lin Yun and others, it was only after leaving the companies of the two directors that their acting careers improved again.

It's just that these star girls and Mou girls, after signing the companies of these two directors, except for their first movie, that is, the movie that brought them out, the company almost does not give any planning for the follow-up acting path.

They just don't want these star girls and Mou girls to make any profit after they become popular with Zhang Yimou and Xing Ye's movies.

Whether it was Huang Shengyi, Zhang Yuqi in the early years, or Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ni, and Lin Yun later, after signing the companies of the two big directors, they almost couldn't get any books, and they didn't have any plans for their acting careers.

In this way, a week later, the cooperation between Light and Shadow Times and Zhang Yimou was completed vigorously.

It's like Xing Ye also opened a company and signed the star girl into the company.

Therefore, these people have contracts with Zhang Yimou and Xing Ye, either they can endure it until the contract expires and run away quickly, or they simply file a lawsuit and tear up the contract during the contract period.

It can be said that the companies of these two directors are really not suitable for normal actors.

They are probably secretly happy, and they wish that Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping would part ways.

Director Zhang's "Return" can be regarded as his best movie in recent years, and this work in which he parted ways with the new picture will bring a lot of momentum to Zhang Yimou.

is that the box office may be less, if Wu Yuan remembers correctly, it seems that the domestic box office is less than 300 million yuan, which is not much in 2013.

But considering that this is a literary film, this box office is very powerful.

However, what Wu Yuan is really looking forward to is Zhang Yimou's later "The Great Wall".

The movie "The Great Wall" is rotten, but I have to admit that the box office is really good, with 1.1 billion in China, and a lot of copyright fees have been sold.

This movie was not made by Wu Yuan himself anyway, and it doesn't matter to him whether the reputation is good or not, but the money earned is real.

It's just a pity that this is a Sino-American co-production, and Legendary Pictures took the initiative to come to the door to cooperate, so the light and shadow era should not be involved too much.

Otherwise, one step ahead of the legend and instigated Zhang Yimou to shoot "The Great Wall"?

To be honest, if this movie does not have the interference of Hollywood, and there is no personal heroism of Hollywood, and it is made as a pure Chinese film, the reputation and box office of the finished film should be better.

It can be seen from the feature film that Zhang Yimou has indeed compromised a lot with Haolaiwu, or that he wants to try this personal heroism of Haolaiwu's style.

It's just that this style is a little unsuitable in China.

The Chinese audience could not accept a foreigner who came to China from the Silk Road to steal black powder, and finally became a hero who saved Huaxia, even if it was only one of them.

And the Chinese background after the change of the dock demon is too worth complaining about.

It seems that this background seems to be erected on the basis of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the background of the Northern Song Dynasty guarding the Great Wall is really a bit too absurd.

And the ministers and emperors in the story are too incompetent.

Although it is understandable, this is the standard Hollywood routine, and there is no superfluous plot for the other characters except for the main character.

The story begins and ends from the perspective of two foreigners, who witness and participate in a monster fight about the meaning of life that takes place on the Great Wall.

This narrative seems to have taken into account the tastes of Chinese and foreign audiences, after all, most of the previous "monster films" of Legendary Pictures did this.

But after it is really localized, the Chinese audience with "higher taste" will not be able to accept it.

Because of the monster films with foreign backgrounds, because Chinese audiences are not clear about the historical development of foreign countries, they don't care about those overhead settings, the so-called distance produces beauty.

But once the background is moved to China, after seeing these Chinese dynasties and armies that have been magically changed, the Chinese audience will not be able to accept it.

This is also the reason why the so-called Sino-US co-productions such as "The Great Wall" and "The King of Kung Fu", which have an empty Chinese background, usually have a bad reputation in China, but they perform very well at the box office abroad, and the word-of-mouth evaluation is also good.

It's really distance that produces beauty, because foreigners don't understand Huaxia, but they don't feel anything about this kind of magic change, and only focus on fighting monsters, but they think this monster is very exciting.

If "The Great Wall" is a monster blockbuster aimed at the domestic market and domestic fans, then the background of this movie should not be so magical, it must be as close to reality as possible, and then made a magical adaptation in the case of real history in order to be accepted by the audience.

Just like the "Painted Skin" series, its background is anchored in the Han Dynasty, from the dress of the soldiers to the overall artistic style, it is very suitable for the real history of the Han Dynasty, so that the audience will not have a sense of abnormality, and there will not be so many slots.

If you let the light and shadow era start the film plan of "The Great Wall" in advance, make a more localized "Great Wall" movie, coupled with Zhang Yimou's strong cooperation, the finished film will definitely be more exciting than the cooperation between Zhang Yimou and the legend!

In his heart, Wu Yuan secretly made up his mind.

This movie still has to be filmed with Zhang Yimou in the era of light and shadow, and the legend can't be given to Huo Huo! (End of chapter)
