Chapter 472 The Situation of "Huangquan" And "Shushan Xianxia Zhuan"
The release of "Interstellar" in China is still in full swing.
In the past half month, a wave of "science fiction" has been blowing across the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau. Regardless of whether you understand it or not, regardless of whether you like it or not, all netizens have to talk about quantum mechanics, black hole horizons, five-dimensional space and other professional terms when chatting with people online to show that they have watched "Interstellar".
Otherwise, if you don't say a few words about the profound theories that appear in this movie, you will be embarrassed to chat with others!
Facts have proved that in this era of pretentiousness, netizens are really strict.
First, the spinning top in "Inception" became popular all over the Internet. Everyone was talking nonsense and suspected that they were in a dream and wanted to spin a spinning top to see.
Then the five-dimensional space theory of "Interstellar" became popular again. Everyone played their own memes on the Internet. Some said that they saw a line of blurred words in their cellars and suspected that it was the information sent by their future selves to their present selves through the five-dimensional space.
Some people also said on the Internet that they could enter the fifth-dimensional space and even saw a black hole, which was really the same as the one in "Interstellar"!
In short, the silly netizens are very good at finding fun based on the movie "Interstellar".
Although there are no such terms as "stalks" or "funny people" now, they are indeed doing similar behaviors, which has also led to the movie's popularity.
The box office in the mainland exceeded 100 million in three days in the first weekend, and the box office in the second week and seven days was still high, with a weekly income of 217 million and a cumulative box office of 328 million yuan.
A lot of mainland box office records, such as the first hour box office, the first day box office, the first week box office, the fastest to break 100 million, the fastest to break 200 million, and the fastest to break 300 million, were broken.
Well, but there is a premise, that is, the subject must be "mainland director record", and foreign directors do not count.
No matter how strong the box office of "Interstellar" is, it did not produce the dimensionality reduction effect of "Avatar".
After all, the first time is a legend, and the second time is not so novel and rare.
Yes, although Interstellar is a Hollywood-funded and Hollywood-filmed film and cannot be classified as a domestic film, the media cleverly created another preposition - a film directed by a mainland director.
This allows this film, which is not a mainland film, to compete with mainland films.
In a sense, this is a real dimensionality reduction attack.
When Avatar is released in the mainland, it will not be compared with domestic films.
However, no matter how the media hypes up topics and uses Wu Yuan and Interstellar to stimulate other domestic films, Wu Yuan himself does not pay much attention to this.
After taking Anne Hathaway and others to some shows and interviews, they ended their one-week mainland promotion work and returned to the United States first.
And Wu Yuan is completely liberated and no longer needs to put all his energy into the promotion of Interstellar.
There are pre-recorded interviews and movie channel programs. The crew's promotion can be seen on TV during the month of Interstellar's release.
After all, this is a Hollywood movie, and Hollywood blockbusters are not yet in the habit of being promoted in China.
Wu Yuan was also happy to relax. After spending two days at home with Liu Yifei, he took her back to the Light and Shadow Times.
The company has been advancing this year's projects in an orderly manner since the beginning of the year. Wu Yuan has been busy with a series of work on "Interstellar" in the first half of the year, and he really doesn't have much energy to care about the affairs of the mainland company.
Now that everything is done, it's time for him to come and see the situation.
"Mr. Li, is the filming of "Soul Ferry: Huangquan" going smoothly?"
In the office of Light and Shadow Times that Wu Yuan rarely used, Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei to sit on the sofa in the reception room, looking at the quarterly report in his hand while chatting with Li Xiaoping about the company's recent situation.
"Everything is going well." Li Xiaoping, who was wearing an OL uniform and had a good temperament, reported calmly: "The actual shooting of "Huangquan" has almost reached the final stage, and the next step is the post-production that lasts for half a year."
"It is expected to be released in time for the summer vacation next year."
"The company's other film "Swordsman of Shushan" that is being filmed at the same time is expected to start shooting next month, with a shooting period of three months, and try to release it in time for the National Day next year."
"National Day?" Wu Yuan frowned: "The National Day is not suitable, let's put it in the Lunar New Year."
"Swordsman of Shushan" is a pure fairy movie that is not suitable for the special National Day period.
Didn't you see that his "Interstellar" was not scheduled for the National Day, but half a month in advance.
And if everything goes well, with the foreshadowing of "Soul Ferry: Huangquan", there should be many fans looking forward to this "Swordsman of Shushan" with overlapping worldviews. This movie has the strength to compete head-on with other blockbusters in the Lunar New Year period.
Speaking of which, after so many years of establishment, Guangying Times has not participated in the competition of the Lunar New Year period. Every Lunar New Year period, it is just a spectator.
Next year, it is time for Guangying Times to make its voice heard in the Lunar New Year period.
"Lunar New Year period?" Li Xiaoping thought about it and nodded: "The company's capital chain is very healthy, and there is not much pressure to collect payments. It is no problem to release it in the Lunar New Year period."
The early or late release of a movie mainly depends on whether the producer has great pressure to recover the cost. If it is a movie with great pressure to recover the cost, then they would like to finish shooting today, edit it tomorrow, and release it the day after tomorrow to make money.
Guangying Times is a big family with a big business, so it is definitely not under such great pressure.
"Well, who was chosen as the male lead of "Swordsman of Shu Mountain" in the end?" Wu Yuan asked curiously again.
The roles of "Soul Ferry: Huangquan" were decided relatively early, such as the male lead Zhu Yilong, the actress Sanqi, Tan Songyun, and the actress Meng Qi, Jia Jingwen was invited to play. Wu Yuan knew all these.
But "Swordsman of Shu Mountain" was decided later. At that time, Wu Yuan was already very busy in North America, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"The male lead is Zhu Yawen, after all, he is the boss of the company." Li Xiaoping said with a smile: "As for the female lead, the role of the junior sister is decided by Jinsha, who is also the boss of the company."
"The role of the senior sister is given to Wang Likun."
"Tang Yan, Wang Ou and other actresses of the company also starred in it."
"Considering that the company will launch more personal movies in the movie universe in the future, we have not arranged roles for actors like Luo Jin and Yuan Hong who may be the main actors, or they just made cameo appearances."
"Yuan Hong made a cameo appearance as a little demon king of the magic path in "The Legend of Swordsman of Shu Mountain". If the series is well released in the future, he can have a personal movie."
"Overall, the company is still very confident in the movie universe plan proposed by Director Wu!"
