First, let me introduce "Life of Pi".
This movie is based on the work of the same name by a best-selling author on Earth.
Not only did this novel win the Man Booker Prize, it also stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year!
A real bestseller.
The film of the same name took several years from preparation to filming.
Even if Blue Star's industrial technology is more advanced and can greatly shorten this time, this work cannot be completed and released as quickly as Lin Yuan's first two films.
Let me talk about the achievements of this film...
A top masterpiece nominated for eleven Oscars!
Ang Lee won the Academy Award for Best Director for this film.
In addition, the film also won the Oscars for Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score and Best Cinematography.
To describe it in four words:
So terrifying.
The entire casting process for the original film's leading actor, Life of Pi, took about six months. Director Ang Lee arranged three rounds of auditions, and finally only twelve candidates were left. He auditioned each child individually.
There is no way Lin Yuan could cheat with this thing.
He also has to choose the cast carefully.
Because it’s so difficult to choose this male lead!
And this is just one of many difficulties.
How to choose the director is also a big problem.
Lin Yuan is very sure that this movie is not a subject that a tool director can handle!
Just like some difficult songs, a tool person cannot handle them.
Even with the text description in his own script, it is not easy for director Yi Chenggong to film the text to produce the same actual effect.
If Yi Chenggong really wants to shoot successfully, there is only one way, which is to use system props on a large scale and improve Yi Chenggong's directing ability.
Two words: burning money!
Not to mention that the film's requirements for photography and other departments are all top-notch.
Including film investment!
There is one difficult problem that has been solved by the system, which is the adaptation of the script.
The movie involves various beliefs and religions. If Lin Yuan were to adapt it, it would probably leave him clueless.
also…
The huge amount of special effects and preparation required for the movie is also incredibly terrifying.
Just imagine how troublesome it would be to shoot a movie entirely with green screen.
So Lin Yuan was very sure that he couldn’t shoot this movie himself!
At least in the short term, he couldn't shoot the film, so he could only hand the script to the company first and allow the company enough time to prepare.
"After casting, we also arranged for the male lead to learn how to swim... It would be better if the male lead already knew how to swim. In addition, the crew also had to go to the sea to experience the rough waves... That is something many people have never experienced in their lives, and how to shoot realistically without experiencing it..."
Finished.
The more I think about it, the harder it gets.
Don’t expect to get this movie this year.
And for such a script, the system only charges 30 million, which can be said to be a conscience.
Perhaps the system is also very clear about how difficult it is to make this movie, so it lowered the price. If you are a little perfunctory, it will only waste a good script.
The quality of this script is much higher than that of "The Tuner"!
"Let's get ready first."
Lin Yuan probably had an idea that this movie would not start shooting until at least next year.
It's been too long.
He wanted to customize another script with the system.
Customize a script that can be shot now and is not that troublesome.
It would be best to finish filming it before starting Life of Pi.
Otherwise, he won't be able to touch any new movies for at least a year. That doesn't suit Lin Yuan's character. He wants to shoot big productions, as well as smaller and less difficult movies. After all, the criteria for measuring the quality of a movie should not be limited to investment and scenes.
Let me digress.
Thanks to the achievement of "Life of Pi", Ang Lee can almost be regarded as the top director in China, much more powerful than the national director.
By the way, I would like to explain that Ang Lee obtained a green card from the United States, but did not obtain the country's citizenship, which caused some controversy.
The system has given itself a super difficult problem.
This is the biggest challenge Lin Yuan has faced since entering the film industry.
So Lin Yuan was both happy and depressed.
It's really difficult to get such a good script but not be able to shoot it immediately.
…
Lin Yuan was depressed, but the shock he brought to the outside world was not over.
It may have something to do with the fact that Xue Liang and Feng Shuo’s songs entered the top ten of the season chart.
There is a heated discussion in the industry about whether Lin Yuan’s two apprentices were taught by Lin Yuan with real skills, and in-depth investigation has been carried out.
After all, nothing like this has ever happened before.
It is common sense that if you want to become a gold medal composer, it is basically impossible to rely on others to teach you, and you can only rely on your own talent.
As a result of the digging, many things became clear.
"I found Xue Liang, also known as Carp. I think someone dug up the songs he composed in Qizhou in his early years last time... It would be an exaggeration to say that his previous works were unbearable to listen to, but I can only say that before he met Xianyu, Xue Liang's composing skills were really not that good!"
"So Xue Liang was really taught by Xianyu step by step, and he was able to reach the level of a gold medal composer?"
"Not only Xue Liang, but also Feng Shuo. Feng Shuo's debut work was amazing, and it can be seen that he is very talented. But before Feng Shuo became Xianyu's apprentice, he released a total of four songs, only one of which was amazing, and the other three were relatively ordinary. It can only be said that this person is talented."
"You mean, Xianyu discovered Feng Shuo's talent?"
"It seems like this now. Xue Liang and Feng Shuo, the carp and the manta ray, are indeed the gold medalists brought out by Lin Yuan!"
"Both of his disciples are so terrifying, so what's the level of Xianyu's composition skills?"
"It can only be at one level, that is Qu Daddy, and Xianyu also has the teaching ability that other Qu Daddies don't have!"
"I think it's only a matter of time before Xianyu becomes Qu's father. Just like his two apprentices, although they haven't reached the gold medal standard due to the small number of works, their strength is enough. They just need to release a few more songs and increase the sales."
"… "
Crackling!
The sound of common sense being completely shattered!
It turns out that becoming a gold medal composer can really be taught!
Because Carp Xue Liang is a living example.
Feng Shuo can be said to be talented, so it is easy to bring him out, but no matter how you listen to Xue Liang’s previous songs, no one thinks he has good talent!
Without Xianyu, Xue Liang might never have been known by the music circle as Carp in his life!
Faced with these discussions, it is certainly impossible for Xianyu to respond personally.
Feng Shuo, however, is a showy person.
He directly released a statement through his blog: "Everyone in the circle is digging up my and my senior brother's background, which is meaningless. Let me tell you that my senior brother and I were taught by our master. In addition, I want to say that my master is the best in the world!"
Not long after this statement was issued, Feng Shuo sent another one:
"If anyone still refuses to accept, just wait for our little sister to come out. Our little sister is learning composition from Master, and she will definitely occupy a place on the season leaderboard in the future!"
When the second statement came out, the industry was collectively shocked.
There is still a fish missing
Oh, that's not right.
Xianyu... Is there still a disciple who hasn't left the mountain
If Xianyu's third apprentice also officially came out and reached the level of her two senior brothers, what a feat that would be!
The dynasty of fish!
There has never been a composer who has accomplished such a feat and taught two gold medal-level apprentices!
hiss.
Some people gasped and almost dared not to imagine any further.
later.
Some people see this as an early symptom of collective pisciphobia in the Blue Star music community.
