Chapter 590: Later and Upcoming

This time, Wu Yuan did not simply copy and paste a script for his new movie.

He planned to combine the two movies "Dear" and "Lost and Love", gather their essence, remove their dross, and make a perfect script.

This is quite a test for him. Although he does not need to write the script completely from scratch, it is not easy to concentrate the advantages of the two scripts and integrate them reasonably.

Fortunately, after so many years of being a director and screenwriter, Wu Yuan has also been trained.

Even if you have not eaten pork, you have seen pigs run.

With twenty years of experience in the previous life and ten years of experience in this life, Wu Yuan's own screenwriting ability is now above the passing line. He dare not say that he has become an international top screenwriter, but his screenwriting level is definitely better than most directors.

Although talent is important in this industry, experience is also very important. Besides, Wu Yuan is not a screenwriter or director without talent.

It must be admitted that now in Asia, South Korea's outdoor variety shows are indeed the most successful and the best, which really needs to be learned.

The two of them, one old and one young, are like a road movie, walking along the way, looking for their children and parents.

So after watching "Dear", people often don't have a deep impression of the protagonist couple, but after watching "Lost and Love", they will definitely remember Lei Zekuan.

So Wu Yuan absorbed the advantages of "Lost and Love", and in the process of writing the script, the perspective was always on the couple looking for their abducted son.

The story foundation of "Lost and Love" is based on a large number of investigations and interviews. The truth alone is enough to move people's hearts. Wu Yuan recognizes this and tries his best to integrate it into the script.

He also plans to call this new movie "Dear", but the core story has changed.

The main story of "Dear" is definitely better than "Lost and Love", whether it is the plot structure or the conflict and sensationalism, it must be more immersive and resonant for the audience.

Whether it is director Liu Meichuan or leading actors such as Zhu Yilong and Yang Rong, their hearts are tense and they are preparing for the release promotion.

Contrary to the previous norm that movies in the light and shadow era did not pay much attention to variety show promotion, in May, the crew of "Soul Ferry · Huangquan" started recording a large number of variety shows.

After the recording of "Actors Please Take Your Place" was completed, the company's variety show department began to "copy" Korean variety shows without Wu Yuan's instructions.

With the release date of this movie confirmed within the company, the actors and creators of "Soul Ferry · Huangquan" had no time to spare.

In order not to repeat the shortcomings of "Dear" in which the story was too much, too many "family-seeking" characters appeared, resulting in insufficient length and fullness of the characters of the protagonist couple, Wu Yuan deleted the story of "Dear". When the protagonist couple searched for their relatives along the way, they met many fathers and mothers who were as helpless as them.

This work, the start-up of the fairy-tale movie universe in the light and shadow era, may not be taken seriously by the outside world, but it is definitely an S-level project within the company.

"Lost and Orphan" did a good job in this regard. The story of Lost and Orphan completely revolves around Lei Zekuan, who has been looking for his missing son for fifteen years, and Zeng Shuai, who was abducted at the age of 4.

Yes, the program "Running Man" has appeared.

The director level has grown from a fledgling to the top domestically and first-class internationally. Wu Yuan has learned and integrated the skills and abilities of outstanding domestic and foreign directors, including Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Nolan.

He plans to keep the main storyline of "Dear", that is, the couple tried hard to find their child, and finally found a boy who looked like their missing son in a remote village. However, the "mother" in the boy's mouth was not the heroine, but a village woman named Li Hongqin...

It was also the success of this movie that gave Wu Yuan confidence, and he dared to play with the script integration this time.

From Mango TV's "Day Day Up" to Blue Whale TV's "Running Man" to Beijing TV's "Lu Yu Has an Appointment", and even Taiwan's "Kangxi Comes Here" have recording schedules.

Although these plots can increase the sensationalism of the film, the village woman who secretly raised the child and the man who was looking for his child played by Zhang Yi all have many stories and their own helplessness, but these characters have no effect on the promotion of the story itself, but instead distract the audience from the main couple.

Now that he has the opportunity, his talent is gradually being fulfilled.

He was able to enter the directing department of the Film Academy in two lives, so he must have talent, and it is not low. It’s just that he lacked some opportunities and opportunities in his previous life, so he worked hard at the bottom for many years.

"Soul Ferry: Huangquan" completed post-production as early as the end of last year.

At the same time, when Wu Yuan was busy with post-production and writing scripts in the United States, the domestic light and shadow era was also busy like a machine with a motor started.

In addition, he also absorbed the road movie color of "Lost and Found". Although it didn’t make the couple drive a motorcycle around China for fifteen years like Lei Zekuan, it also made more stories "on the road" instead of making endless coincidences and misunderstandings.

It can be said that he is trying to combine the advantages of the two films and intends to make a benchmark work on the theme of finding relatives and fighting against human trafficking.

Although the plot is very scattered and there is no clear main line, the images of these two characters are three-dimensional and full.

In terms of screenwriting, he is also trying to be original. The low-cost love film "Love Letter" has a very good reputation and evaluation after its release. Although it has the shadow of "Your Name" and "Untouchable Lovers", it is also better than the original.

However, Wu Yuan does not intend to give up the advantages of "Lost and Found".

This is a joint production of the variety show department of Light and Shadow Times and Blue Whale TV.

In this way, in the next period of time, Wu Yuan was watching the post-production of "The Martian" in the United States while also perfecting the script of the new movie.

When he was doing "Actors Please Take Your Place", Wu Yuan asked the company to dig up a group of excellent Korean variety show producers and PDs. Of course, this group of people is not kept in vain.

This takes time, and it requires repeated polishing and modification of the script to finally produce a satisfactory result.

Such a long perspective allows the audience to better empathize and resonate with the story of this couple.

Running Man is the most popular outdoor variety show in Korea and even in Asia. The company's variety show department noticed it immediately and quickly bought the Chinese copyright of the variety show with the help of the company's connections in Korea. It launched the domestic version of the show in cooperation with Blue Whale TV, namely Running Man.

This show was recorded from June to September this year and is scheduled to be broadcast during the summer vacation!

The crew of Soul Ferry Huangquan even became the guest of the second episode of the show to promote the movie!

All this is just for the movie to be a big hit! (End of this chapter)
