Millennium director
Chapter 547 The Age of Light was finally noticed
Matt Damon's tweet completely confirmed that filming of "The Martian" has started.
As one of the top science fiction directors in Hollywood, while Nolan is busy working on "The Dark Knight Rises", the final film of the Batman trilogy, Cameron is also busy working on his 3D remake of "Titanic". "No. 1", Wu Yuan is the only director in Hollywood and even the world that science fiction fans can look forward to.
And Wu Yuan has lived up to their expectations. The new movie that has been rumored for a long time has finally been released. It is indeed a science fiction film!
In recent years, Hollywood's original science fiction films have basically disappeared. The emergence of Marvel has completely changed the flavor of "science fiction", which was supposed to be a subject aimed at the stars and the sea, and turned it into a dazzling and chaotic film. A superhero battle that takes place in the sky and escapes from the earth.
Is this science fiction?
If you have to say it, it is indeed science fiction. At least Marvel and DC have always advertised their superhero movies as science fiction movies.
But is this kind of science fiction movie the same as the modern science fiction movie pioneered by "2001: A Space Odyssey"?
I'm afraid no science fiction fan will think it's the same thing.
What they need are sci-fi movies in the true sense, stories like "Gravity" and "Interstellar" that take place in the vast and deep space. They are based on human beings' desire to explore the unknown and mysterious space.
This is something that superhero movies can’t bring.
Unfortunately, with the operation of superheroes and big IPs in recent years, the six major Hollywood companies have basically stopped making new original science fiction movies.
Original science fiction films with high production costs, high pressure to repay, thankless work, and high risks can only attract capital or provide their own money for directors like Wu Yuan and Nolan who are already famous and at the top of the pyramid. Planning to make this kind of movie.
Among the hundreds of movies that Hollywood projects and launches every year, you can probably count the number of truly original science fiction blockbusters on one hand.
Under such circumstances, the launch of "The Martian" feels like the earth has been thirsty for several years and is finally waiting for the rain to fall.
Wu Yuan does not have any shares in Twitter, and the Utah Group, which controls Hollywood and North American media mouthpieces, cannot allow Wu Yuan, a Chinese, to enter its circle.
But even so, the launch news of "The Martian" still swept Twitter, Facebook, INS and other platforms, becoming a hot search topic on multiple platforms and being discussed fiercely.
Wu Yuan's influence in Hollywood is already extraordinary.
However, such a rising momentum did not actually bring many benefits to Wu Yuan. Instead, some people saw many hidden dangers and crises.
Hollywood, which has always been firmly controlled by the white Utah group, seems to be an eyesore when such a Chinese-faced "big boss" mixes in.
Wu Yuan is not just a director, he is also the boss of a Hollywood film company.
Although he never intervenes in distribution matters, every film of the company is handed over to the six major Hollywood distributors, allowing them to share a piece of the cake.
However, the films of Light Times are basically funded by themselves, and other Hollywood companies do not share much profit in terms of production.
What makes people even more sensitive is that Guang Times is still a wholly-owned company owned by Wu Yuan alone.
Just when "The Martian" dominated the headlines of many entertainment newspapers in North America, Hollywood, which seemed calm on the surface, was in turmoil.
The filming location of "The Martian".
John came to Wu Yuan with a frown and interrupted his shooting.
He called Wu Yuan several times before but didn't answer, so he had no choice but to come directly to the set to find Wu Yuan.
This is really a big deal.
"Daniel, recently many Wall Street investment banks have come to consult me whether the company has any intention of financing and going public."
"There are also some people who want to buy shares of our company on behalf of their bosses behind the scenes, and they all offer high prices."
"On the Big Six side of Hollywood, Fox and Warner have also expressed their intention to cooperate. This time, the cooperation method is mainly to acquire equity."
"You've been in so much limelight lately!"
Wu Yuan, who was looking at the monitor attentively, frowned, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted "click", then pulled John to the cubicle next to the set.
"what's the situation?"
"You're too pushy."
"Why?!"
Wu Yuan frowned and said: "'The Martian' didn't even hold a press conference, it was all reported by the media."
John shook his head: "But on the Internet, "The Martian" has become the hottest topic in the film industry in the past week, and everyone is talking about this movie."
"Audiences, science fiction enthusiasts, film critics, and even some so-called studio executives are talking about this movie."
"What's even more troublesome is that while they were talking, the topic all turned to the Light Age."
"The movies produced by Light Times over the years, the cost and box office comparison, and the cooperation with several companies."
"After these data were exposed, many people had strange views on the company."
How good the operation of Light Times is is not something that can be hidden from others.
Although there are not many movies produced by Light Times, only about ten movies over the years, every movie has made money, and the money has doubled.
From the early "Hangover" series to the current "Twilight" series, plus movies such as "Fake Marriage", "Weakness" and "Never Ended" in between, as well as "Kingsman" in cooperation with New Line "series, the "Night at the Museum" series in collaboration with Fox.
Each of these movies was a hit, and the only one that was not a hit was a remake of a Todd Phillips movie invested by Light Times, but the investment in this movie was so small that it was almost negligible.
The success of these movies, if divided into only one movie a year, would not attract much attention, at least outsiders and ordinary movie fans would not care much.
Just like most domestic netizens and movie fans don't care about which movies Huayi and other companies produce every year, and which movies make Huayi money.
However, when the box office data of these movies were listed separately and released to the public, some people even deliberately promoted hype behind the scenes.
The "Light Age", which had not attracted much attention from the general public, immediately came into their sight and even became a widely discussed topic.
Although this company is small, it is really profitable, and the success rate of film production is too high!
Wu Yuan, who was still cautiously trying to make a fortune in silence and trying his best to make a small amount of money behind the scenes, was once again brought to the forefront by North American netizens.
Because Light Times is a company that is 100% owned by him!
Wow, this is not good.
A Chinese man opened a film company in the United States and made a large number of American movies to earn American money.
This is not very pleasant news to read.
Wu Yuan knew it well.
Thousands of thoughts ran through his mind.
"Damn it! It must be those Jews who did it!" (End of Chapter)
