With the most powerful special effects company in the world under his name, Yue Guan naturally wants to make more special effects blockbusters for the audience.
"Fengshen Series" and "Immortal Qin Empire" are all in the plans.
But these two dramas are just the beginning, not the end.
Yue Guan is thinking about what to continue filming later.
Then, the online novel "Shading the Sky" came into his sight.
Compared with "Zhu Xian", a romance novel disguised as a fairy tale, "Zhu Tian" can be regarded as a pure fairy tale novel, and its popularity has shown how well this novel fits the taste of netizens.
If the grand scene constructed in the novel "Shading the Sky" could be filmed, even half of it, Yue Guan would probably be able to shock all audiences.
He has no interest in the TV series version of "Shading the Sky". The novel "Shading the Sky" is too long and too watery, and it is not easy to adapt it for film and television. If you want to adapt it into a TV series, you will definitely have to cut out a lot of plots.
Yue Guan is really not sure whether it can be filmed well.
But if the TV series version of "Shading the Sky" can be filmed well, then the great emperors portrayed in "Shading the Sky" will be very attractive to Yue Guan.
The King of Forced Kings is the Great Emperor Wu Shi who is known as "Who is the peak at the end of the immortal road? When he sees the beginningless path, it becomes empty";
Not to become an immortal, just to be the ruthless emperor waiting for your return in the world of mortals;
The precious mirror holds the sky in the void, and the Great Emperor of the void is not weaker than anyone in his life;
The Qing Emperor who has a lotus in the eternal blue sky;
I am the Emperor of Heaven, Ye Fan, the one who suppresses all enemies in the world.
There are too many emperors with distinctive personalities.
For Yue Guan who wants to regain his imperial aura, this novel is not generally suitable.
With a slight adaptation, the stories of these great emperors can be fleshed out and a movie can be made. The premise is that the TV series version of "Shading the Sky" can be a hit.
"Shading the Sky" cannot be made into a movie right away. No matter how popular this novel is, it cannot be compared with IPs such as "The Legend of the Gods" and "Journey to the West".
Coupled with the fact that the text on the Internet is smelly and long...
Going straight to the movie version would be a dead end.
The TV series is a hit, so only the movie version has hope of success.
Yue Guan has no interest in the TV series version of "Zhetian". His plan is to leave "Zhetian" to Wu Ershan to shoot dozens or hundreds of episodes, and first create a TV series that will become a hit, and then "Zhetian" will be produced. The world view of "Heaven" is first promoted.
Then you can intercept an emperor or background from the novel, such as the Dark Turmoil, and then revolve around the Dark Turmoil event and film the plot of those outstanding people who stood up and fought bloody battles in the face of the Dark Turmoil through a movie.
This kind of operation is the same as the premise for the explosion of "The Legend of the Heaven and Dragon Sword: The Leader of the Demon Cult" and "The Legend of the Heaven and the Dragon Slayer: The World's Supreme" happened when both the original work and the TV series of "The Legend of the Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" became popular. If "Zhetian" wants to To make a movie, the prerequisite is that both the novel and the TV series must be popular.
The novel is popular enough now.
But it is not that difficult to make a TV series version of "Shading the Sky".
Before the Yue Guan time travel in the previous life, it had been rumored that Zhang Yimou's team had taken over the production of the TV series version of "Shading the Sky" and wanted to create a magnificent world of immortals.
It took many years to build, but not a single ghost was seen. It is most likely to bloom like the Monkey King, a Chinese-American co-production by Six Teachers.
In this life, Yue Guan made an early move and won the film and television rights to "Shading the Sky".
But he didn't plan to shoot immediately after getting it.
To be honest, Yue Guan doesn't have much confidence in adapting a boy-oriented work like "Shading the Sky" into a film and television drama.
Moreover, if you want to adapt it for film and television, it will definitely require major changes. It is impossible to make it according to the original work. The original work has more than 6 million words, and it is a mess...
Therefore, whether the adaptation can satisfy the original work party is also a question.
Various factors were added together, so from the beginning, Yue Guan had no intention of taking risks. He planned to take this project out for joint development with other companies.
If it succeeds, everyone will make money together.
If it fails, he won't participate in the filming of the TV series anyway. He will only be responsible for part of the investment. If it is shared equally with several other companies, the loss will not be big.
Of course, Yue Guan still hopes that this project will succeed.
So he focused on Wu Ershan.
Compared with Zhang Yimou's team who was promoted in the previous press release and was responsible for the production of the TV series "Shading the Sky", at least Wu Ershan is someone he can put into practice, and he has enough trust in Wu Ershan's ability.
After listening to Yue Guan talk about the situation of "Zhe Tian" and Yue Guan's plan for the "Zhe Tian" project, Wu Ershan was interested.
Of course, like Yue Guan, he is most interested in the planning of the "Zha Tian" movie universe.
He also understood Yue Guan's plan.
If the TV series version is not a hit, the movie will be nonsense, there is no need to think about it, and there is no need to shoot it at all.
So if he wants to make a movie version, he has to take over the TV series version first.
Wu Ershan did not make a decision immediately.
"Yue Guan, you asked me to think about it after I finish filming the first part of "Feng Shen". I haven't read the novel "Shading the Sky", so I have to read it first."
"Of course, this project is not urgent." Yue Guan is indeed not in a hurry.
His work arrangements for next year are basically arranged.
For him, "Shading the Sky" is just a free game. Even if it succeeds, he will not personally participate in the project until at least the year after next.
Yue Guan gave Wu Ershan a reassurance in advance: "Director Wu, if you take over the project of "Shading the Sky", then you will control the TV series version of "Shading the Sky" and I will basically not participate."
Although Wu Ershan has always been very talkative, Yue Guan will not naively think that Wu Ershan does not like the feeling of having power in the crew.
Yue Guan certainly couldn't give Wu Ershan such power when filming "Feng Shen".
But when filming the TV series "Shading the Sky", you can have this.
After all, the importance is different, and Yue Guan doesn't have that much energy to take care of everything.
Hearing what Yue Guan said, Wu Ershan nodded: "I understand, and I will seriously consider your proposal. By the way, if we only film the first part of "Feng Shen" this time, many actors will have later schedules. We also need to re-coordinate, this is different from what was originally agreed, and they may have objections.”
"Leave this to me."
It's normal for people to have opinions, and actors' time is valuable.
But this is not a problem for Yue Guan.
Needless to say, Zhang Min and Liu Yifei were just a few words away.
If Chen Kun wins the piece of "Eastern Invincible", he will definitely not have any objections.
Others can just use some small resources to compensate.
Anyway, most of the cast of "Feng Shen" are talented actors, so Miracle Company won't lose money by giving them some small resources.
As a resource tycoon, Yue Guan said he was so arrogant.
In the entertainment industry, many people have money, but most people lack resources.
If you have the resources, you can do whatever you want.
All colleagues on the crew expressed their strong support for Comrade Yue Guan's decision. They will definitely unite around the creative team with Comrade Yue Guan as the core and contribute their efforts to improve the quality of the "Feng Shen" series to a higher level.
The consciousness of the comrades was very high, and Yue Guan was very pleased.
