Chapter 651: "X-Men: Days of Future Past" Starts Filming

The heroine of "Ready Player One" is a very important role, not the kind of female protagonist who is just a side character.

It can be said that the whole movie is an adventure of the heroine and the hero, and in reality, the heroine also bears the color of a "rebel".

She leads ordinary people who are unwilling to succumb to the technology giant IOI in the movie to prevent IOI from becoming the controller of Oasis.

Although the story of this movie takes place in the future world and the virtual reality universe, the design is still very classic "Dragon Quest".

"Oasis", the second universe of human future, has temporarily become "ownerless" after the death of the creator. Whoever can unlock the Easter eggs left by the creator in Oasis can become the owner of this Oasis world.

Therefore, all players, as well as various capitalists and technology companies, work hard to hunt for Easter eggs in Oasis.

Well, does it have the taste of "One Piece"?

In fact, this is a very classic "Dragon Quest". There are too many movies with similar plots in Hollywood.

To be honest, neither Spielberg nor Cameron is a director who is very good at writing scripts.

Most of their movies have simple scripts or "old-fashioned" plots.

But they are the most successful commercial directors in Hollywood.

This is mainly due to their directing ability. They can always make simple stories come alive.

For example, the gorgeous Avatar planet in "Avatar".

And the sci-fi virtual world in "Ready Player One" that forms a sharp contrast with reality.

"The story of "Ready Player One" is not very fresh, but if it is made into a movie, it will bring a very shocking visual enjoyment."

"The premise is that the storyboards and special effects must be exciting enough."

Wu Yuan smiled and said to Liu Yifei: "It happens that this is what I am best at."

As a person who has the original film memory in his head, Wu Yuan can say that his storyboard design will definitely be the world's top level.

Because he can copy it!

Whether it is Spielberg, Cameron or Nolan, it is easiest for Wu Yuan to copy their movies, because their movies rely on visual effects, and he can completely reproduce the pictures in his memory one by one!

This is much easier than copying those movies that require actors to perform complex performances and tend to output emotions!

"By the way." Wu Yuan suddenly remembered another thing and asked curiously: "Sissi, is it time to start filming "X-Men: Days of Future Past"?"

As early as the beginning of last year, Wu Yuan helped Liu Yifei to finalize the role of this movie.

The role that was supposed to belong to Fan Xiaopang was intercepted and changed, and this role, which was originally only a supporting role, was upgraded to one of the members of the protagonist group.

It was also because of Wu Yuan's intervention that Fox had to rewrite the script and increase the weight of the role of "Flash".

Therefore, the filming plan of this movie was also delayed by half a year than originally planned.

"Soon." Liu Yifei nodded: "It will start shooting in North America in October, and it is estimated that it will be completed in February next year."

"This movie is the only work I have taken this year."

"You." Wu Yuan reached out and tapped Liu Yifei's forehead, and said helplessly: "One movie a year is fine. Sometimes it is not a good thing for actors to be productive."

"Your theory of charging is indeed correct. Really excellent actors are always striving for perfection and do not take on many roles."

"Like Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, they have been reducing their production in the past two years. They are not as hardworking as in the early years, and they also shoot one work a year."

"I have talked about this topic with them privately. They also think that actors need to return to life appropriately in order to be in a good enough state to complete the filming."

"Otherwise, if you keep working in the crew without any life, the works you shoot will be very empty."

After all, Wu Yuan is not an actor. He really doesn't know what an actor should do to be the best.

He will only choose the best actors to serve him.

In the past, he always thought that Liu Yifei only shot one work a year, which was a manifestation of indifference.

But now, after a long time, he also found that any famous actor would deliberately reduce production and maintain the pace of one movie a year or even two years.

This is obviously not the reason for being lazy after becoming famous. Those TV actors are like working hard, and they would like to work on the crew 366 days a year.

But movie actors are more Buddhist, and they join the crew for at most half a year, and the remaining half of the year is to "settle down".

Obviously, everyone does this, which means that it is right to do so, or at least not wrong.

So now Liu Yifei has been picking her feet at home for half a year, and Wu Yuan doesn't think there is anything wrong.

However, staying at home every day reading books, surfing the Internet, and occasionally going out shopping with girlfriends, is this really considered "sedimentation"?

He really doesn't understand.

"Anyway, you should have rested enough."

Wu Yuan said indifferently: "Starting from October, you will be busy again."

"After the filming of "Days of Future Past" is finished, my new movie will be launched soon. By then, it should not be a problem to shoot two movies in a row and be busy until next summer vacation."

"That's about right. One year of rest and one year of busyness. It's just right."

"Go Away! Tumor" was finished at the end of 2012. By the time Liu Yifei joined the crew of "Days of Future Past", she had been off for almost a year.

"By the way, I'm going to Japan in a few days. Will you come with me?" Wu Yuan asked again.

"Going to Japan?" Liu Yifei asked in confusion, "Why are you going there? Are you going to promote "The Martian"?"

"More than that." Xu Wei shook her head, "Promotion is one thing, and on the other hand, I'm going to inspect the work status of the Japanese site of Guangying Kuaibo."

"Guangying Kuaibo has opened a branch in Japan for some time. It has cooperated with local Japanese TV stations to launch many Japanese dramas and even helped them to promote them overseas in Asia."

"As a big boss, I should go to Japan to visit and comfort the employees of the Japanese branch."

"Anyway, I have to promote "The Martian" this time, so I'll do this as well."

"You, the boss lady, do you want to go with me?"

"I'll introduce you to several well-known Japanese actors and expand your network."

"You are the top actress in Asia in the media and newspapers, and a representative of Chinese faces with influence around the world. You don't even know a few well-known actors from other countries except Hollywood. It's a bit bad."

"Tsk." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Wu Yuan, "Aren't you the same?"

"Go if you want to, I'll accompany you then." (End of this chapter)
