Chapter 610: Ten Years of Explanation and the [Jiuzhou Classics] Plan!

From casting to shooting to production, the cycle of movies is not short. Even a highly efficient director like Lin Qiu can only produce two or three movies a year at most. The works led by Lao Zei can be said to have been continuously and continuously produced with high quality during the year when Lin Qiu was "absent".

In addition, this year is the year for Lao Zei to achieve style transformation, which has made Lao Zei step onto a new peak.

"Spirited Away" was released in early August, and the day it was released was September 2, the release date of Lao Zei's new book "Journey to the Center of the Earth"!

After 28 days and four weeks of global release, "Spirited Away" finally achieved a global box office of 15.3 billion, slightly breaking the global animation box office record created by "Your Name", and breaking this record again.

These two major events have set off quite a stir around the world. The forums in Xiazhou are full of discussions about these two things and praise for Lao Zei.

What they don't know is that on September 2, there is another major event!

That is the official announcement of the completion of the epic masterpiece "Titanic" by Changan Film and Television Company and Lin Qiu!

Since the official announcement of the start of filming in April, the filming of "Titanic" has been more difficult than Lin Qiu imagined.

The first reason is that the large-scale prop scheduling is really a test for the entire filming team. Although it is also a large-scale production, the filming of "Titanic" is completely different from that of "The Truman Show".

The large investment in "The Truman Show" is entirely in the arrangement of the shooting scene, but in fact the actors have no difficulty in performing, but "Titanic" is completely different. Lin Qiu and Changan's filming team have always been known for their efficiency, but this time's filming is the only time that the shooting time exceeds the expected time, and it is more than one or two days.

The second reason is that group portraits are difficult to shoot. For example, the sinking scene of the Titanic focuses on the various expressions of the crowd. From the captain to the crew to the passengers, everyone has different expressions. As long as the expression in the camera is not in place, all have to be re-shot.

So when the filming was completed, the entire crew was very excited, and even they felt a sense of accomplishment, not to mention Lin Qiu.

Although they were still far from seeing the finished film, just by seeing the filming details of "Titanic", the crew members decided to go to the Imax theater to enjoy a top-notch audio-visual feast!

"I declare! "Titanic" is officially completed!!"

As Lin Qiu's voice fell, the entire crew cheered.

…

"This movie! It will definitely shock the world!"

"I finally understand why Brother Qiu said that this movie will hit the global box office record!"

"Damn it! Xiazhou movies are not even at the 20 billion level now, and now they are going to hit 40 billion?"

"Hehe!"

"Oh! I can finally go home. This Xizhou has everything good, the climate is good, and it's not hot in summer, but the food is just a mess!"

"Director Lin, can you take us to see my sister-in-law's concert!"

"Hahahaha!"

At the wrap-up banquet, actors from various countries, as well as members of the Xiazhou and Xizhou filming crews, were eating and drinking, bragging, and at the same time, they established friendships during the hard filming during this period. If they leave, they will be reluctant to leave.

Lin Qiu smiled and shook his head, "No problem."

"Go back after the concert in a few days!"

"Okay!"

Tang Anning's Jiuzhou tour is in progress. The 19-stop concert in Jiuzhou has been extended to 26 stops because of the terrifying popularity of the previous stops, and it is estimated that it is not the end yet.

A few days later, Tang Anning will have another tour concert in Lisbon next door.

In a short period of time, Tang Anning has become one of the most popular female singers in the world with the classic album "Innocence" produced by Lin Qiu. Now there are countless fanatical fans all over the world. Every concert is crazy and the atmosphere is full.

In August, Tang Anning came to Xizhou in advance and visited the crew. She stayed for about a week. Then on the Qixi Festival in Xiazhou, the two went to the embassy of Xizhou abroad to get a marriage certificate under the witness of the entire crew members. They became a legal couple in Xiazhou and entered a new stage of life.

Popular stars who rely on their works usually don't see a significant drop in popularity because of marriage, not to mention that the relationship between the two is very stable. For so many years, they have kept a low profile in front of the public.

"Qiu, when is the next movie?!"

Lin Qiu's personal assistant director Lu Yan put his arm around Lin Qiu's shoulders and asked after drinking a cup with Lin Qiu.

"Maybe in two or three months, definitely before the New Year, the script is almost ready."

Lin Qiu smiled and replied.

Lu Yan looked at Lin Qiu with an expression of looking at a god, and said in astonishment, "No, you just got married, there is no honeymoon or anything like that, you are too productive, right?!"

"Don't you plan to have a child or something? An Ning is not young anymore, right?"

Just as Lu Yan finished speaking, Lin Qiu suddenly said something that made Lu Yan drop his jaw.

"We talked about it."

"Maybe I will stop working the year after next and stop making movies for the time being."

As soon as this was said, Lu Yan's eyes widened and he lowered his voice and said, "Oh my god!"

"What do you mean?!"

"Not shooting anymore?"

Does Lu Yan know how shocking the weight of Lin Qiu's words is? Now is Lin Qiu's peak period?

"It's just for the time being. An Ning and I have agreed to raise the baby quietly and don't look at me like that. When the baby can walk and jump, I will come back. I have a big plan!"

Lin Qiu smiled mysteriously.

In fact, Lin Qiu had already had some ideas about his plans for the following period. After attending Ye Zhiyuan's wedding during the Chinese New Year this year, he had chatted with Ye Zhiyuan and Zhou Kai. Ye Zhiyuan and Zhou Kai definitely understood Lin Qiu the best. After all, they all know that Lin Qiu has another identity, that is, a high-quality and high-yield "old thief"!

Lin Qiu is not a superman. Since college, Lin Qiu has always maintained a high-intensity and high-quality output of works. Everyone needs a break, not to mention that Lin Qiu and Tang Anning have ended their long-distance love race and entered the stage of life. the next stage.

"I'll go! Does the company know about this?"

"I know, my parents are supportive. I wish I could have a grandson soon. Then I will write two good scripts for you, and you can show off your talents."

Lin Qiu patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, and Lu Yan suddenly became excited. After following Lin Qiu for seven or eight years, even a fool can learn a lot. Although Lu Yan is not as talented as Ye Zhiyuan, he can still learn a lot. Writing a script to express the story in your own way is the basic skill of a director. Many excellent directors just lack a good script.

"You really don't think about it anymore?"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"It's okay, Chang'an can't step on it. Don't we still have Brother Ye and Zhou Kai? If you don't let Brother Ye make a movie, why not kill Brother Ye."

Lin Qiu smiled, quite calmly.

Even if Chang'an loses him in the past five years, with Ye Zhiyuan's ability, the movie scripts provided by Lin Qiu can still compete for Oscars every year, and Zhou Kai's Marvel series will still sweep the world.

Lin Qiu's first movie was released in May 2023, and it is now September 2030.

Next year, Lin Qiu will complete the filming of the planned film and release his last film in May 2033, completing his 10-year career in entertainment.

During the time when she was having another baby, Lin Qiu was planning a huge plan.

The name of this project is called [Kyushu Classics]. By then, Lin Qiu will create 9 classic movies and 9 classic novels from each state in the name of the old thief, as the final chapter of his career and Chang'an. peak!

In the [Kyushu Classics] project, the selected works are all works that Lin Qiu personally believes can best represent the styles of each state and have super high quality.

For example, in Xiazhou, Lin Qiu will shoot the only Xiazhou movie that is both commercial and artistic - "Let the Bullets Fly."

As for novels, the old thief will produce what can be said to be the highest-selling Xiazhou novel in the world in its previous life, and also the highest-status classic - "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Another example is Yingzhou. Lin Qiu will take out a classic work that he admires very much, Kawabata Yasunari's representative work of aestheticism - "Snow Country"...

…

Of course, the [Kyushu Classic] plan is only a prototype now, and the main time is still early. Lin Qiu still has enough time to think.

The focus right now is to complete the film productions for next year and the year after.

Accepting Lin Qiu's idea, Lu Yan then asked, "You said you would start shooting a new movie at the end of the year. What will you shoot?"

"Superhero movie."

"I'll go! Steal Zhou Kai's job! This is it!"

As soon as they heard Lu Yan talking about taking Zhou Kai's job, many crew members came over.

"By the way, there are three parts in this series, and the three parts will be filmed together."

"You guys have a good rest after you go back this time, it's a big job!"

"ah?!"

"Three?!"

When they heard that Lin Qiu would be filming a three-part superhero movie series, the first reaction of these staff members was not exhaustion, but excitement!

You must know that these classic film works handed down from generation to generation also have their share of military medals!

Whether in the past life or in this life, the reason why many series of movies are not shot in one go is because they don’t know how the market will respond to the work. If it fails, the cost will be too difficult to accept...

But Lin Qiu and Chang An don't have to consider this issue, not to mention the Batman series, which can be said to be one of the most classic superhero movies in the past. It has achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success, and has also given birth to super popular characters such as Batman and the Joker.

Lin Qiu has also thought about his next work, a truly landmark work in the science fiction genre that Lin Qiu has never made before - "Interstellar"!

With the continuous success of commercial films, what Lin Qiu wants is to inject a powerful injection of chicken blood into Chang'an Film's historical box office!

…

Over in Xizhou, when the final party of "Titanic" was in full swing, the veteran's first work after "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", was officially released in Kyushu!

Every time when Lao Thief sells books, bookstores all over Kyushu must be overcrowded, and this time is no exception. Moreover, Lao Thief and Xianque have specifically stated this time that even children under the age of 16 are suitable as extracurricular readings. read.

From this perspective alone, it is probably following the same path as "Spirited Away". It can be watched by both adults and children!

Early before the filming of Titanic was finished, Ye Zhiyuan's new film was finished early, and he returned to Xiazhou. His wife Xu Xin went to participate in a Xiazhou variety show, and estimated that she would not be able to return home until tomorrow. Ye Zhiyuan brewed a pot of tea at home, sat in the yard, and opened the cover of Journey to the Center of the Earth with anticipation.

The length of this novel is far from being a long novel. After all, one is released a month, and it is not realistic for you to ask Lin Qiu to give you hundreds of thousands of words for each book.

A rough look shows that there are 45 chapters in total. Putting down the teacup, Ye Zhiyuan wandered in the ocean of books with relish. This length is just enough to read in half a day.

[One Sunday, May 24, 1863, my uncle Professor Lidenbrock hurried back to his small house, which was at No. 19 Konis Street, the oldest street in the old city of Hamburg. 】

……

The first paragraph of the book made many readers' eyes light up.

The story of the 19th century is the same as the timeline of the "Sherlock Holmes" that was once popular all over the world, and both are from the first-person perspective.

In this kind of science fiction adventure novel, the first-person perspective is definitely more advantageous than disadvantageous, because from the perspective, there can be enough sense of substitution, and Ye Zhiyuan glanced at it casually, and the overall language is very fluent and not obscure.

The previous two works, whether it is "The Lord of the Rings" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the text in the book is a bit tongue-twisting.

The protagonist of this book is "I". My name is Axel, and my uncle is Professor Lidenbrock, a professor at John College, who teaches mineralogy. His personality is a little weird, but it is not difficult to understand as a professor studying this field.

The beginning of the story mainly introduces the protagonist's uncle, his daily personality, skills, and some situations.

The real main story starts from the second chapter.

Uncle Professor Brock was very excited because he found a coded letter in an ancient chronicle.

After many days of interpretation, uncle finally confirmed that the letter was written by an Icelandic alchemist. The coded letter indicated that one of the craters in Iceland could lead to the center of the earth!

"Iceland?"

"I know this place. It's in Western Europe. It's a beautiful tourist destination. It seems that you can also see the aurora."

"I can already feel it. When the old thief published this book, Icelanders were ecstatic! It is estimated that the tourist attraction of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is ready to be built. Because of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Harry Potter", England has received many more tourists every year."

Many readers couldn't help thinking this when reading this.
