Chapter 874 Disney Comes Again

Spring goes and summer comes, and the days soon come to the hot summer.

For China, the past six months have been tormenting and united.

Thanks to the efforts of the country, the epidemic has been brought under control. At least the number of confirmed cases in China has no longer surged, even though summer is a highly contagious period.

But for the international community, the test of this sudden black swan event has just begun.

Just like the second half, the number of confirmed cases abroad is rising rapidly by hundreds of thousands, but compared with the united China, the reaction of the people and the government abroad is really lame, and the demons are dancing in disorder.

It was also at this time that the Chinese people realized that our country is so powerful. It turns out that in this era of comparing the worst, our country is already the most efficient and responsible government in the world.

It can only be said that everything is most afraid of comparison. When the naked facts are presented to the public, there is no need for any deliberate propaganda, and the patriotic enthusiasm is full.

Unfortunately, for the film industry, the haze is still hanging over everyone's head.

Although cinemas have resumed work, almost no new movies are willing to be released on a fixed date, and only a bunch of old movies are repeatedly screened in cinemas.

Although the ban on travel in provinces and cities has been lifted, everyone has tacitly agreed not to stay in public entertainment venues. Almost every large business district is deserted, and cinemas that rely on the ecology of large business districts naturally have few customers in a day.

In contrast, the domestic TV drama industry is still booming.

After all, TV dramas can be watched at home on mobile phones, computers, and TVs, and there is no need to go out at all. Instead, it has become the only means for most people to relieve boredom during this special period.

However, in this difficult period for the entire industry, film and television capital can no longer afford to burn money. The overheated TV drama production costs and star pay have severely cooled down the overheated market under the double blow of the salary limit order and the epidemic.

This is actually a good thing for the domestic film and television industry, a great thing.

Anyway, in the past few months, the ratings of one online drama after another on Guangying Kuaibo have been rising, but the production costs have dropped a lot, which is sour.

The light and shadow era has started to restart filming, and the fastest crew is expected to start shooting in July, but everyone is still uneasy.

After all, the epidemic is now spreading internationally, and it is far from being controlled. It is not certain when it will be transmitted from abroad and break out again.

In addition, everyone is now in a state of fear. Even if the domestic situation is under control, no one is willing to go to the cinema and sit in a closed room with a bunch of strangers to watch movies.

No one knows how long this "cowardly" state will last. The more pessimistic people think that it may not be able to recover in three to five years.

In other words, the national film industry may be in a low period in the next three to five years.

Even the more optimistic people think that it will not be able to recover within at least two years, and everyone will need to march hard for a long time.

So even if a new project starts shooting, no one knows when the movie will be released, so they are uncertain.

Wu Yuan is very calm.

After all, he knew that the domestic film market would be reactivated by "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Detective Chinatown 3" during the 2021 Spring Festival.

Although the market after activation is less than half of that in 2019, it is at least there, which is much better than the current situation where there is no one.

By then, as the leading film production company in China, Guangying Times will still be able to take a large part of the market.

As the saying goes, no matter what industry, when the industry is in the most difficult time, the companies at the top of the pyramid will always be better than the middle and lower levels, that's enough.

After this period, Wu Yuan believes that the future will still be bright.

After all, China is a huge market with a population of 1.4 billion. Temporary difficulties will not overwhelm the film industry. It will always recover in three to five years, and even go to a higher level.

By then, even if a large number of film and television companies in the middle and lower levels fail to survive and go bankrupt, Guangying Times will not go bankrupt. Then it will be their turn to blow the charge.

However, Wu Yuan, who is still watering flowers and taking care of children in his big villa recently, has also encountered another interesting thing.

Yes, he recently moved from a large flat in the city center to a large villa in the suburbs.

This large villa was bought together with the large flat, but it has not been lived in much, after all, the villa area has always been far away from the prosperous area.

However, under the recent special situation, living in the villa area is a good choice. It will not be boring with its own yard, and the large place is suitable for fun, but the population density nearby is low, which also reduces the possibility of cross-infection. There are many advantages.

Otherwise, why did the nobles hide in their castles and manors when the Black Death, plague and other diseases were rampant in Europe?

Let's get back to the point.

Wu Yuan, who is hiding in his villa and enjoying his "retirement" life, recently received a long-distance call from the United States.

The global box office of "Bruce Lee" has been released. Due to the impact of the epidemic in China, this movie was not released in China, but it still won 230 million US dollars worldwide.

"Bruce Lee" has also become the last movie in recent months to break the 200 million US dollar box office, because in the second half of the global release of "Bruce Lee", the black swan event has swept the world.

All the movies that are currently being released, including "Bruce Lee", have been affected.

Although foreign countries do not have such professional prevention and control measures as China, and have required cinemas to stop working, foreigners are not all stupid. They also know that it is best not to go to closed public places such as cinemas in this situation.

So in this situation where the black swan event swept the world, the final box office of "Bruce Lee" was much less than the expected 300 million US dollars.

But Wu Yuan is already quite satisfied with this. After all, he beat the epidemic. Before the situation expanded, at least he harvested most of the global market, which is much better than the original time and space "Mulan" that was released during the outbreak period abroad.

Well, the reason why I mentioned this twists and turns and disaster-ridden movie is because Disney, which called, made another request in addition to reporting the global box office of "Bruce Lee".

Invite Wu Yuan to direct the live-action movie "Mulan".

Yes, after more than two years of tossing, this latest Disney princess movie still failed to be filmed. Even after spending more than 100 million US dollars, the crew was directly disbanded and started over!

This was something Wu Yuan had never seen in his dream, and it was also the fluctuation caused by his butterfly.

This made Wu Yuan very helpless.

In the end, he still had to deal with this mess! (End of this chapter)
