Lu Yuan has not yet thought about producing "The Wandering Earth" or "Wolf Warrior".
because……
The script of "The Last Days on Earth" is exciting enough.
At the same time, it is also very delicate.
After watching the plot, Lu Yuan felt that he could sum it up in one sentence...
That is the world after the apocalypse.
The plot is actually not complicated. It mainly tells the story of a meteorite hitting the earth one night in the future. The earth began to set off a huge wave, and then all kinds of terrifying monsters that only exist in legends awakened in the depths of the sea...
More and more news broke about these monsters, and more and more ships and people were killed at sea. At first, everyone thought that these monsters could only move in the sea, so everyone began to stay away from the ocean and only work in shallow waters...
However, not long after, the meteorite hit the earth and produced huge radiation energy. This radiation energy caused the monsters awakened in the deep sea to begin to undergo various genetic mutations and evolutions. Finally, some monsters crawled onto the land and began to wreak havoc in human cities and hunt humans.
Everyone began to panic. Humans were as vulnerable as ants under these monsters.
Countries mobilized their military forces to resist these monsters.
At first, the monsters could still be killed by gun bullets, which made the panicked people breathe a sigh of relief. However, as time went on, these monsters evolved armor and were not afraid of ordinary physical weapons. They even gradually evolved some intelligence like children. Some ordinary methods of fighting monsters were no longer effective...
This is a very desperate world.
Humans trembled in fear under the rampage of these monsters. As cities were ravaged by monsters one after another and resistance failed, the fate of mankind was in danger. After a series of sacrifices and attempts, all humans could only retreat to the edge of the two poles of the earth to survive...
At the same time, finally at the edge, humans built a thick, high defensive wall!
Humans hid in the defensive walls, and with the cover of ice and snow, they were able to continue to reproduce and thrive.
Outside the human world, there are countless monsters living everywhere, and it has become a paradise for monsters!
Of course, most of the human race has entered the wall, but inevitably there are still some people who are abandoned in the world outside the wall...
A few years later, a turning point occurred. Those monsters that were once rampant finally began to die out one by one due to the appearance of certain bacteria on land. These bacteria were ineffective against humans...
When the new century came, some abandoned humans, the "abandoners", found that the world was peaceful again, so they used various mobile phones and radios to send signals to the humans in the wall, informing them that they could come out...
but……
The signal can only be sent into the wall, but there is no response from inside the wall.
It was as if all information was cut off. Even the planes that were dispatched disappeared for no apparent reason. It was as if there was some huge interference in the entire wall. Radio signals and various communication tools were completely ineffective...
Have the humans inside the wall become extinct?
Finally, after a meeting, the give-ups decided to send a few professionals to see what was going on inside the wall.
And Lu Yuan...
It’s one of these people!
Finally, Lu Yuan and the other protagonists set out on a journey towards the paradise of mankind. When they entered the wall after going through untold hardships, they discovered a huge lie that was enough to subvert the entire world...
It turns out that those so-called monsters are actually...
This is the background of the entire movie plot, which contains all kinds of plot twists. Until you see the end, you don’t even know whether the so-called "truth" you saw before is the truth!
It's all fake!
You can't even tell what's real.
After reading the script, if it weren't for the theme at the end, Lu Yuan would have even thought that the story was nonsense and full of the flavor of a bad movie.
However, the final plot point shocked Lu Yuan. It turned out that everything before was just a foreshadowing!
Lu Yuan probably has three plots in his play!
If we really want to shoot these three scenes, Xu Qifeng is bragging if he can finish it in half a day, but it can be finished in about two days...
Although Lu Yuan has few roles, he is an indispensable spiritual figure, equivalent to the soul of the entire team.
In fact, Lu Yuan likes this role very much, and he also has deep feelings about "The Last Days of Earth".
Especially the plot inside and outside the wall, which gave Lu Yuan a feeling of the anime version of "Attack on Titan".
Um?
Lu Yuan thought of "Attack on Titan", but then he felt that the world of "Attack on Titan" and "The End of the Earth" were not quite the same...
One focuses on freedom, and the other focuses on human nature.
After reading the script, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh that director Xu Qifeng was truly a genius.
After reading the script, Lu Yuan discovered that this "The End of the Earth" had a small tail.
Then...
"Director Xu...are you planning to make a second part of this movie?"
"Ah? Yes, if the response to the first film is good, I plan to make a series of movies. I have the idea, and I think this is a good way to start a topic. I think a real science fiction movie doesn't necessarily have to be as cool as those American blockbusters... I feel that the end of the world can actually be called a background!" After seeing Lu Yuan's serious expression, Xu Qifeng bravely said to Lu Yuan.
"Oh, I see. When do you expect the filming to start?"
"After the Spring Festival, um, Mr. Lu, it won't delay your filming of Titanic, right?"
"Okay, no problem, half a day, no delay..."
"that……"
"how?"
"Mr. Lu, um, can we not write down the date for the half-day shooting?" Xu Qifeng looked at Lu Yuan cautiously again.
"Okay, I know that I can't take a good photo in half a day, so two days is fine."
"good."
After looking at Xu Qifeng's cautious expression, Lu Yuan nodded and signed the contract provided by Xu Qifeng.
After signing, Xu Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had accomplished a great feat.
"It's time for dinner, shall we have a meal together?"
“No, no, no, Mr. Lu, please don’t disturb me. Mr. Lu, I’m going to file the documents now and do the preparatory work. The crew also needs to start preparations in various aspects, such as casting and so on… Sorry, Mr. Lu, I’m leaving first…” When Xu Qifeng heard this, he quickly shook his head and showed a polite expression as if it was too troublesome. Without saying a word, he picked up his bag and turned to leave.
"Then I won't keep you here. If you need any help, just tell me." Lu Yuan was slightly stunned after looking at Xu Qifeng's expression.
Is this guy so busy now?
Short of lunch time?
Isn't it outrageous to be so dedicated?
"Okay, definitely!"
After Xu Qifeng finished speaking, he left the gifts he had prepared for the children and turned away.
Looking at Xu Qifeng's back as he left with his bag tightly clasped under his arm, Lu Yuan felt a slight emotion.
"What a dedicated person."
"Compared to me, a salted fish..."
"Should I also work hard? After all, I also have an original script."
"Forget it, the most important thing right now is the arrangements for the Spring Festival Gala... This is the most important thing!"
“…”
…
Perhaps Xu Qifeng's professionalism influenced Lu Yuan, or perhaps Lu Yuan felt that it was not a good idea to keep doing nothing.
In short, after lunch, while his wife and children were taking a nap, Lu Yuan went to the study and continued to make a series of work plans for himself in a small notebook.
First of all, there are the arrangements for the Spring Festival Gala and various planning. Next year is the filming of "The Last Days of the Earth", followed by "Titanic" and "The Truman Show". Oh, and there is also the filming of "Batman 2" and the decision to play the Joker. Then there is the script writing of my own original film, and then there are the animation design of the "remote" amusement park and other issues...
After making a series of work plans, Lu Yuan suddenly felt overwhelmed.
He suddenly realized that he had a lot of work to do next, and they were all closely arranged together.
At that moment, Lu Yuan felt a little bit painful.
My head hurts, my head hurts!
If you really calculate it, I may not be able to complete this series of tasks even if I work hard for a whole year next year.
However, I can't throw away all of this work.
otherwise……
With such a huge investment in the early stages, this isn't the right way to spend money.
Of course, the first problem we have to face now is not any other problem, but the Spring Festival Gala!
Lu Yuan originally thought that there were still more than two months before the Spring Festival Gala, but when Lu Yuan really looked at the calendar.
He shuddered. It was December 20th!
This year’s New Year’s Eve falls on February 10th.
Calculate the time!
etc!
Less than two months?
Then……
There is nothing scheduled for the Spring Festival Gala.
When Li Mingrui directed the Spring Festival Gala before, he started preparing several months in advance. In fact, in October, the relevant departments talked to Lu Yuan about the Spring Festival Gala. Lu Yuan didn't take it seriously, thinking that if he really didn't perform, the relevant departments would arrange someone. But now it seems that the relevant departments are waiting for him!
When he thought of this, Lu Yuan became a little anxious.
How should I place ads in this year's Spring Festival Gala? How should I deal with so many ad spaces? Or...
Bah! Bah! Bah!
Is it time to think about advertising space? Now is the time to think about the Spring Festival Gala program!
Lu Yuan hesitated for a while, then searched the Internet for the program "I Want to Be on the Spring Festival Gala".
It is basically certain that the top winner of this program will take a spot in the 2006 Spring Festival Gala.
Mr. Zhao Bengang’s theme last year was “Selling Crutches” and this year it is “Selling Cars” which can solve the problem of the year.
For singing shows...
Wang Long is busy with "Super Girl" and "Happy Boy", so he probably doesn't have time...
There is nothing much for Lao Lu to do on the Spring Festival Gala.
Fatty Wei?
Xu Lu can perform on the Spring Festival Gala, but she needs someone to guide her.
Wait, it’s easy to arrange for people from your own company.
In addition to your own company, do you need some more impressive programs?
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment...
or……
A big one?
After thinking about this, he picked up the phone and dialed a very familiar American number.
"Hello? Mike, haha, how are you?"
