Chapter 547 The Age of Light Finally Being Noticed

Matt Damon's tweet completely confirmed that "The Martian" has started filming.

As one of the best science fiction directors in Hollywood, Wu Yuan is the only director in Hollywood and even the world that science fiction fans can look forward to, while Nolan is busy making "The Dark Knight Rises", the final film of the Batman trilogy, and Cameron is also busy making his 3D remake of "Titanic".

And Wu Yuan did not disappoint their expectations. The long-rumored new movie finally landed, and it is indeed a science fiction movie!

In recent years, Hollywood's original science fiction movies have basically disappeared. The emergence of Marvel has completely changed the taste of "science fiction", which was originally supposed to be aimed at the stars and the sea, and turned it into a superhero battle with dazzling lights and flying into the sky.

Is this science fiction?

If you have to say it, it is indeed science fiction. At least Marvel and DC have always advertised their superhero movies as science fiction movies.

But is this kind of science fiction movie the same as the modern science fiction movie pioneered by "2001: A Space Odyssey"?

I'm afraid no sci-fi fan would think it's the same thing.

What they need is a real sci-fi movie, a story like "Gravity" and "Interstellar" that takes place in the vast and deep space, and is the desire of human beings to explore the unknown and mysterious space.

This is what superhero movies can't bring.

Unfortunately, with the operation of superheroes and big IPs in recent years, the six major Hollywood studios basically don't bother to make new original sci-fi movies.

Original sci-fi films with high production costs, high pressure to return on investment, thankless work, and high risks can only attract capital or pay for themselves to shoot such films, such as Wu Yuan and Nolan, who are already famous and at the top of the pyramid.

Among the hundreds of films that Hollywood starts shooting every year, the number of real original sci-fi blockbusters can probably be counted on one hand.

In this case, the start of "The Martian" has a taste of the earth being thirsty for several years and finally waiting for the rain to fall.

Wu Yuan does not have any shares in Twitter, and the Judaica Group, which controls the mouthpiece of Hollywood and North American media, will not allow Wu Yuan, a Chinese, to enter their circle.

But even so, the news of the start of "The Martian" still swept Twitter, Facebook, INS and other platforms, becoming a hot topic on multiple platforms and being discussed.

Wu Yuan's influence in Hollywood is already extraordinary.

However, such a high momentum did not bring much benefit to Wu Yuan, but instead made some people see many hidden dangers and crises.

Hollywood, which has always been firmly controlled by the white Judaica Group, seems to be a bit annoying to have such a "big boss" with a Chinese face.

Wu Yuan is not just a director, he is also the boss of a Hollywood film company.

Although he never intervenes in distribution matters, every movie of the company is handed over to the six major Hollywood distributors, so that they also share a piece of the cake.

But the movies of Guangshidai are basically invested by themselves, and the production does not allow other Hollywood companies to share much profit.

What is even more sensitive is that Guangshidai is still a wholly-owned company of Wu Yuan.

Just when "The Martian" dominated the headlines of many entertainment newspapers in North America, Hollywood, which seemed calm on the surface, was turbulent.

The filming site of "The Martian".

John came to Wu Yuan with a frown and interrupted his filming.

He had called Wu Yuan several times in a row before but no one answered. He had no choice but to come to the set to find Wu Yuan directly.

This matter is really a bit big.

"Daniel, many Wall Street investment banks have come to consult me ​​recently to see if the company has the intention to raise funds and go public."

"Some people represent their bosses behind the scenes and want to buy shares in our company, and they all offer high prices."

"On the Hollywood Big Six side, Fox and Warner have also expressed their intention to cooperate. This time, the cooperation method is mainly to acquire equity."

"You have been too popular recently!"

Wu Yuan, who was concentrating on watching the monitor, frowned, picked up the intercom and shouted "click", and then pulled John to the compartment next to the set.

"What's going on?"

"You're too much of a show."

"Why?!"

Wu Yuan frowned and said, "The Martian didn't even have a press conference, and the media rushed to report it."

John shook his head: "But on the Internet, The Martian has become the most discussed topic in the film industry in the past week. Everyone is talking about this movie."

"Audiences, science fiction fans, film critics, and even some so-called film company executives are talking about this movie."

"What's more troublesome is that as they talked, the topic shifted to Light Era."

"The movies Light Era has produced over the years, the comparison between the cost and the box office, and the cooperation with several companies."

"After these data were exposed, many people had a strange view of the company."

How good the operation of Light Era is, it can't be hidden from others.

Although Light Era has produced few movies, only about ten in so many years, every movie has made money, and it has doubled the money.

From the early "Hangover" series to the current "Twilight" series, plus the movies "The Proposal", "The Blind Side", "Never Ending" and so on, as well as the "Kingsman" series in cooperation with New Line, and the "Night at the Museum" series in cooperation with Fox.

Each of these movies is a big hit. The only one that didn't sell well was a remake of Todd Phillips invested by Light Era, but the investment in this movie was very small and almost negligible.

If the success of these movies is divided into only one per year, it will not attract much attention, at least outsiders and ordinary audiences and fans will not care much.

Just like most domestic netizens and fans will not care about which movies Huayi and other companies have produced every year and which movies have made money for Huayi.

However, when the box office data of these movies were listed separately and announced to the public, some people even deliberately promoted hype behind the scenes.

"Light Era", which was not paid much attention to by the general public, immediately entered their sight and even became a hot topic.

Although this company is small, it is really profitable, and the success rate of film production is too high!

Wu Yuan, who was originally trying to make a fortune quietly and trying to make small money behind the scenes, was once again brought to the forefront by North American netizens.

Because Guangshidai is his 100% personal company!

Wow, this is not good.

A Chinese opened a film company in the United States and made a lot of American movies to make money from Americans.

This is not a pleasant news.

Wu Yuan knew it well.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Damn it! It must be those Jews who did it!" (End of this chapter)
