Chapter 662: Accelerating the Progress of "Ready Player One"

"So, not only will your vacation be ruined, but you will also have to prepare for two movies at the same time?"

"I've only heard of this level of busyness in Director Zhang Yimou. I never thought you would have such a day."

"But it's good this way. Shoot more while you're young. When we get older and both of us retire, it won't be too late to rest."

"You should retire, right? You won't be like Director Yimou, who is almost 70 years old and still shoots movies every year, right?"

Listening to Liu Yifei's teasing on the other end of the phone, Wu Yuan's face was dark.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will follow Director Zhang Yimou and strive to make movies even when I am 70 or 80 years old, even if I am sitting in a wheelchair."

"But when you reach that age, you will definitely not be able to act anymore. I will find some young and beautiful actresses by then. Don't be angry."

Wu Yuan just wanted to tease his fiancée, but unexpectedly, Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone just chuckled and said indifferently: "Oh, what's there to be angry about."

"Maybe I will be buried in the ground by then, how can I care about you?"

"Anyway, I can care about you now."

"The hero's widow Da Chunzi in "Riding the Wind" you mentioned, let me play it!"

"I haven't played this kind of hero's widow, and she is a pregnant mother and a village girl. It's very challenging!"

Hearing this, Wu Yuan used all his strength to resist the desire to complain.

The widow of a martyr, and a mother, and a village girl.

Hey, she really played it before.

The famous "Chinese Widow"!

The BUFF was full, but it flopped miserably.

In those years, because they were from the same hometown, she also supported Yu Shaoqun and took this little brother to shoot many movies, but unfortunately they were all art films and flopped miserably.

But these things will never happen in this life.

Da Chunzi in "Riding the Wind" is also countless times stronger than Yingzi in "Fenghuo Fangfei".

It can only be said that there is a gap between the widows of martyrs.

The widows of the Guo Party can only have a transnational love affair with the second-rate American Flying Tigers, and it ended up being a mess.

But the widows of the martyrs of our party are strong and unyielding, resolute and brave, willing to help others, selfless, and have firm beliefs and national justice female warriors!

Well, very good!

"You can indeed try to challenge this kind of role." Wu Yuan said with certainty: "You should also play this kind of mainstream movie."

"To be honest, the fact that you and your mother immigrated when you were a child is more or less a stain. Although you finally changed your nationality before adulthood, you should also pay more attention to this aspect."

"It's good to play a tribute film."

I just hope Liu Yifei doesn't play Da Chunzi into "Feng Huo Fang Fei".

But think about it carefully, her acting skills in this life are completely different from those in the previous life, and this situation should not happen.

He is still quite confident in the acting skills that Wu Yuan personally trained.

"So, after you finish shooting X-Men, rush back to China as soon as possible."

"I'm busy, and you have to be busy too. "Ready Player One" is about to start shooting, and after finishing "Ready Player One", you have to shoot "Ride the Wind" right away. In fact, you can't relax either."

"Unless you don't plan to act in these two movies."

"In this case, you are actually more tired than me, because you are shooting three movies in a row this time!"

Hunting twice, ignoring Liu Yifei's wailing on the other end of the phone, Wu Yuan hung up the phone contentedly.

I told you to tease me!

He was not joking, and the next work would indeed be very busy.

The first important thing is that the preparations for the movie "Ready Player One" should be accelerated.

Now Light and Shadow Times is already making early preparations for this movie.

It's called preparation, but in fact it means that the special effects company will start to make early special effects immediately according to the storyboards and setting drawings given by Wu Yuan.

"Ready Player One" is completely a movie that relies on special effects to win the market, and all the preparations are to be carried out around special effects.

As for the actual shooting, almost 70% of the content must be shot in the green screen studio. This is easy to solve. Just rent a studio covering several thousand square meters.

Of course, the outdoor scenes also need to be arranged.

The deputy director of the crew has already built a slum full of "cyberpunk" atmosphere in Chongqing according to Wu Yuan's requirements.

This will be the real home of the male protagonist in the movie.

It has to be said that if you want to have the taste of "cyberpunk", you have to shoot in Chongqing.

The city of Chongqing is already magical 3D. You only need to add some more neon lights and electrode tubes, and then combine them with some special effects to directly restore the Night City in "Cyberpunk 2077".

You only need to let the props team build a near-future style slum, which can fully achieve the effect of full sci-fi atmosphere.

Of course, this city must not be called Chongqing in the movie. Even in the background of the movie, the story does not take place in China, but in a parallel world that is right and wrong.

Everything is for review.

After all, no matter what, China can never develop into a cyberpunk society ruled by a giant trust.

To be honest, if Wu Yuan hadn't personally reported the film to the General Administration, it would have been very unlikely to be approved and allowed to be filmed.

It is really that the background of this movie is China, and the cyberpunk world ruled by capital is too strong!

Fortunately, the story of this movie mainly takes place in the game world of "Oasis", and the story mainly revolves around the control of the company "Oasis".

In fact, the original intention of the story is just a very classic adventure story. The hero and heroine have gone through untold hardships and finally defeated the boss, found the treasure, and then lived happily together.

This is very fairy-tale, without any extra description about this world monopolized by the giant trust, and there is no discussion of the development path of the future society, the ideological confrontation, etc.

If Wu Yuan dared to touch a little bit of this content, even he would not be able to let this movie pass the review.

When submitting it for review, the leaders of the General Administration also repeatedly told Wu Yuan that the story of this movie can only stay in "Oasis", and the plot in reality must be completely for the purpose of seizing "Oasis".

And there must be no words and contradictions related to "government" and "country".

Fortunately, the biggest villain in the script is just a technology company, and it has nothing to do with the government. The leaders of the General Administration also praised Wu Yuan for being sensible and sensible, which reduced their troubles in film review.

After the script was reviewed and approved, Wu Yuan could prepare to start filming the movie at any time.

But before that, he had to find a good enough male lead for "Ready Player One"! (End of this chapter)
