Chapter 962: Named: Nezha!
Primordial Universe!
There was an uproar in the audience.
Fans were only amazed at Lin Fan's lofty ambitions and his broad vision for the future, but filmmakers, media people, and film critics were all shocked by Lin's ambition.
Create a universe! Like Western superhero movies, create an exclusive universe! Give this universe all kinds of life and meaning, fill the framework of the whole world with fantasy, and then present it to all audiences!
What a big deal, what a bold move! More importantly, this is also a very profitable project!
But don’t the filmmakers present know how much box office Western superhero movies have taken away in the Chinese circle? Don’t they feel ashamed? Looking at the successful creation of the Western hero universe, don’t Chinese filmmakers have any ideas?
Of course not!
Chinese filmmakers also want to create a Chinese movie universe, but this is not something that can be done by just talking about it. The West has also gone through many years of exploration, from comics to cartoons, to live-action TV series, and then slowly transitioned to movies, and finally formed the current state of the movie universe.
China is obviously a step behind, and cannot copy the Western ideas and development paths. It can only explore on its own, taking one slow step at a time, which is why it has not been able to achieve scale so far.
But now, Lin Fan said that he wanted to create his own prehistoric universe!
Everyone subconsciously burst into an uproar, but after the uproar, they felt that if there was really someone in the Chinese film industry who could create a movie universe, Lin Fan would have a very high chance of being the one.
First of all, Lin Fan’s creative ability is unquestionable. He has developed in the three fields of film, television and music, and has achieved very good results in all three aspects.
At the same time, Lin Fan is also a very good director and screenwriter. The scripts of his film and television works were created by him from beginning to end, and others only played a supporting role.
Finally, and most importantly, the work "Journey to the West" itself does have the potential to create a movie universe. Through "Journey to the West" and "Investiture of the Gods", Lin Fan has already built the general framework of the universe of the gods.
Then he encouraged online writers to hold a second creation contest around "Journey to the West", laying a fan base for creating the Honghuang Universe.
In addition, Lin Fan himself is also working hard to develop secondary works of "Journey to the West" - such as the upcoming animated film. All of this is done for one purpose: to create the prehistoric universe! Theoretical basis, character structure, and work support, the three major elements are already complete. Now Lin Fan lacks only quantity - the number of works to effectively build the entire prehistoric universe framework.
To sum up, so, Lin Fan is serious?
"This is incredible!" The filmmakers in the audience were all amazed.
"Lin Fan really wants to create that primitive universe?"
"Look at him, he doesn't look like he's joking."
"It's not that easy to create a movie universe. Apart from other things, the investment alone is a bottomless pit! It takes a lot of time and there is always the risk of failure."
"What is Lin Fan afraid of? He's still so young! When I was his age, I hadn't even made my first movie yet, but look at him, he's already a billionaire!"
…
After being shocked, the audience burst into heated discussions, some questioning, some supporting, some waiting and some just wanting to watch the fun... there were all kinds of reactions.
There were also many media people whose eyes sparkled, as if they had mastered some kind of traffic code. They all raised their hands and stood up enthusiastically, making various gestures, wanting to ask Lin Fan questions in order to get more inside information so that they could go back and write a big news story that would shock everyone.
They have already thought of a title, which is "Shocking! Lin Fan intends to create a prehistoric universe to compete with the Western movie universe!"
Such big news will surely get more than 100,000 clicks once it is released!
It's a pity that Lin Fan didn't give them the opportunity to continue asking questions. Instead, he pressed his hand down. As soon as this gesture came out, the originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.
The main reason was that Lin Fan's fans were very obedient. When they saw Lin Fan making the gesture, they immediately shut up and became quiet. The rest of the filmmakers, media people, and film critics, seeing that everyone around them was quiet, also couldn't help but shut up.
It only took about ten seconds for the scene to go from noisy to quiet. Only then did the audience, except for Lin Fan's fans, realize that Lin Fan's ability to control the situation was really strong! He made the whole event lively with just one sentence, and then made the noisy scene quiet again with just a gesture, and everyone thought this was normal.
Really, I have to admire it.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Lin Fan said, "Today is the premiere of the animated film. The focus is on the animated film itself. Let's put other things aside for now. Let's see if this animated film is qualified to be the opening chapter of the prehistoric universe!"
As Lin Fan finished speaking, the lights in the screening room dimmed, and advertisements began to play on the big screen. This was the last time for the audience to solve their personal problems.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After the commercial, the movie officially started.
As the familiar logo and opening credits of the Earthling Studio finished playing, a solemn voice-over came from above a beautiful cloud layer: "After thousands of years of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, a Hunyuan Pearl was born. It greedily absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and its power continued to grow. But the spiritual energy it absorbed was too mixed, with immortal energy and demonic energy intertwined, and it could not distinguish between good and evil. The master sent me and my junior brother to subdue it..."
Hey, why does this voice-over have an accent? Before the audience could react, a plump and cute big fat pig appeared on the big screen, and on the pig's back, there was an equally plump... Taoist priest? The key point is that when this Taoist priest appeared, he did a fixed-point display that is only used by models on a catwalk, and called himself Taiyi Zhenren.
On the other hand, Taiyi Zhenren's junior brother, Shen Gongbao, is the opposite of him. He is a thin man with a slender figure. Uh, he seems to have a stutter? Well, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that Hunyuan Pearl revealed its true form and knocked Taiyi Zhenren away with one punch. Shen Gongbao was no match for Hunyuan Pearl and was knocked away in just a few hits.
As a last resort, Yuanshi Tianzun took action himself and refined the Hunyuan Pearl into the Spirit Pearl and the Magic Pill. In order to destroy the Magic Pill, Yuanshi Tianzun also cast the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, and three years later, he summoned thunder from heaven to destroy the Magic Pill.
He arranged for Taiyi Zhenren to send the Lingzhu to the home of Li Jing, the man of destiny, to be reincarnated as his third son. At the same time, he promised Taiyi Zhenren that when the Lingzhu was cultivated, he would become the last of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun.
The Original Heavenly Venerable gave the spiritual pearl a name: Nezha!
