"Old Li, what do you think? I feel that the setting of this movie is a little messy. Is it another " Blunt Interstellar Embryo "?”
After Zhao Huanhuan returned to the hotel, she directly asked Lee Huanhuan for her opinion. Unparalleled was indeed very good and profitable, but the plot and setting of the Great Sage were a little too ridiculous.
It completely overturned the deep-rooted myths and beliefs of Journey to the West. The gods actually turned into aliens and humans, and even evolved into interstellar space wars. It was really ridiculous. It was obvious that all the elements of a bad movie were gathered. It would be a miracle if such a movie could be made.
It was true that Li Huanhuan was not very optimistic about it, but it did not mean that the plot was very complicated. On the contrary, it was much simpler than the myths and legends of Journey to the West. Gene lock was a key word. Whether it was the god race or the immortal race, they all developed their own potential through continuous improvement of their genes and used the laws of the universe to become stronger.
Immortals could not create something out of nothing. They had only mastered powerful abilities in the process of evolution. They could combine some special types of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to create divine artifacts and elixirs. In other words, there was no eternal eternity. Gods and immortals also had lifespans. They would also age and die.
The Thunder Clan had the ability to control thunder and lightning. They had many members, and the strongest elites were the Thunder Clan, which had joined the Heaven Court. The strongest was Thunder God, who had broken five gene locks. He was a Heavenly Lord, second only to the Four Protectors and the Five Elders.
It could be said to be very simple and crude. Those so-called cultivation secret manuals were simply four steps of refining into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into virtual, and refining virtual into Dao. Once the Dao Integration was successful, the evolution of life would be completed.
The number of times one broke their gene lock was different, and the difference between immortals was huge. For example, Patriarch Bodhi was an ancient immortal who had broken six gene locks and could fight the third generation of gods. If he broke seven times, he would be infinitely close to the legendary second generation, which was comparable to the ancient demon seed. He already had the strength to cross the universe with his body.
The setting was very simple and crude, completely breaking everyone's inherent impression, so Zhao Xi Xi wasn't very good-looking. Not only her, but Guo Jinghua and some of the older artists were the same.
If it weren't for the fact that Wu Haoshen was currently in power and had the full support of China Power and Third Master, they would have long stood up to condemn Wu Haoshen. This was simply tarnishing our traditional culture and religious beliefs. Therefore, many people were waiting to see Wu Haoshen make a fool of himself.
Li Huanhuan couldn't be sure herself, so she asked her sister Li Xue,""Xue, what do you think? Is there a chance for this movie?"
"How should I put it…Actually, it's very similar to the setting of Hollywood in Europe and the United States. It's mainly targeted at young people in the 80s and 90s. The key is to see how the overseas market and the young domestic audience can accept it. If they can accept it, this movie will be very powerful and will lead to a super series.
If we can't accept it, then it will be like the previous Chinese Oscarness Journey. The box office won't be satisfactory, but we've already earned back most of the cost, so the risk isn't big. From the perspective of movie investment, this is a very worthwhile risk.
Even if he failed, he could still make money. At most, his reputation would be damaged. However, the next " Twelve Zodiac " could easily earn back the reputation that he had lost previously, so the loss was still within the acceptable range. He was much more clear-headed than you guys.”
This was what Li Xue admired Wu Haoshen the most. He was different from those big directors in the industry who only knew how to rely on their past achievements. Once he made a name for himself, he would try to create something new when he was the most popular and popular in the market. This was not a tinkering innovation, but a completely subversive innovation.
Like " The Great Sage," Wu Haoshen's goal was not a mythical movie, but a sci-fi movie. Therefore, he was promoting a Chinese version of Star Wars and a Chinese version of a superhero movie.
This was a brand new field that no one in the Chinese entertainment industry had set foot in, and no one dared to spend a lot of money to enter. Once it succeeded, whether it was in the local market or in other markets, it was possible to create a very exaggerated and terrifying box office legend. This was the real reason why more than half of the industry supported him.
However, Li Xue could sense that something was amiss. She felt that Fox Zhao could no longer hide her fox tail. She said these words in front of everyone with ulterior motives. Li Xue decided to test her again.
Li Xue asked Liu Tian Xian who was drinking tea,""Fairy, you're the youngest among us and you grew up in America. What do you think of the setting and plot of this movie? Can you accept it?"
"Very good, simple and clear. It's a bit like a comic from Marvel. Frankly speaking, it's similar to many of Thor's settings. I suspect that Godfather copied…borrowed from them. Genetic constraint is a very good setting, perfectly avoiding the mutated humans 'X factor.”
Did he think that she had never read Marvel comics before?
When Liu Tianxian first saw her script, she realized that this was the superhero setting in America.
He had only changed technology to self-cultivation. The powerful genetic technology and the ancient mechanism techniques of the pre-Qin period had set the gods and gods as aliens.
Marvel TV Series had long used such a setting and plot. It was just that Eastern Mythology had not done this before, so Liu Tianxian felt that the overseas box office of this movie would be very high.
Zhang Linzhi and Xie Tingfeng agreed in their hotel room. However, unlike Zhao Biluo and the others, Ting Feng, who had been studying in North America since he was young and often read superhero comics, was very optimistic about Wu Haoshen. He even worshipped him.
Of course, there was plagiarism, but Wu Haoshen's was already considered a second creation. He had reasonably avoided some of the key selling points and copyrights from the other side and combined them with our own myths to create a movie universe. It was really amazing. Anyway, Xie Tingfeng felt that this series was very cool and had a future.
Zhang Linzhi didn't understand this at all. She had only started chatting because she had heard some seniors 'private discussions. Since things were already like this, she naturally hoped that Wu Haoshen could continue to succeed and become stronger. Otherwise, wouldn't she be at a disadvantage after sacrificing so much?
"Tingfeng, according to what you said, this copyright should be very valuable?”
Xie Tingfeng naturally didn't notice his wife's abnormality at this time. He said excitedly,"Of course, this is the smartest part of Director Wu. He gave up everything he could for the first film. As long as he got the copyright and the most basic dividends, he would be able to make the film recoup its capital and go on lightly.
We'll just wait and see. When the movie becomes sold well hit and the related comics, movies, and TV series are released one after another, this IP will be incredible. It'll be worth at least tens of billions of dollars, and it'll be in US dollars. The most terrifying thing is that we won't be able to find a rival in the entire East Asia. It's too amazing. I wonder if I'll have the opportunity to work with Director Wu in the future.”
The long-term cooperation that Xie Tingfeng was talking about wasn't just about acting in this series. It was more about working together on special effects. Back in 2003, Xie Tingfeng didn't listen to the persuasion of the people around him and used most of his wealth to establish PO Chaoting.
This special effects company located in Caowan Bay was now involved in many related fields such as synthetic special effects production, digital editing, recording and mixing, film conversion, computer animation, game special effects, and so on. It could be ranked in the top five in Xiangjiang City.
However, special effects were very expensive. There were not many companies willing to invest in special effects now. Xie Tingfeng barely managed to maintain the operation of this special effects company by relying on his identity as the top brother of Emperor. This time, it was a historic opportunity for him and Po Chaoting. Once Wu Haoshen succeeded, he would continue to support the local special effects companies in the Chinese entertainment industry. Then, he would really make a fortune.
