The momentum of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has been unstoppable. It attracted 250 million in the three days of New Year's Day, and the cumulative box office exceeded 650 million, setting a new box office record for the Lunar New Year movie and becoming the well-deserved champion of this year's Lunar New Year. The runner-up is "One Hundred Thousand"

"A Bad Joke" movie, which grossed 22.3 million on New Year's Day, and the cumulative box office exceeded 76 million, making it the biggest dark horse.

On the first working day after New Year's Day, good news came from the writing team of "The Wandering Earth": the movie's synopsis has finally been decided!

Since the screenwriting team decided to overthrow the original novel and rewrite the story, they have produced 12 versions of the outline, but they were either rejected by Cheng Yu'an or Wang Hongwei.

In mid-December, the writing team decided to still tell a rescue story in "The Wandering Earth".

Inspiration from "The Martian".

But "The Wandering Earth" no longer saves individual people, but rescues planetary engines and saves all mankind.

Judging from the outline, it is a very typical Hollywood story, with the protagonist team saving the world.

But Cheng Yu'an doesn't like lone heroes. Although this brief outline is approved, Cheng Yu'an will definitely have to refer to the original version for the specific rescue story.

As soon as the story outline is released, the main characters and specific story must be confirmed quickly.

I don’t know who made the news, saying that the script outline for “The Wandering Earth” has been confirmed, and the characters and specific stories are now being filled in.

Then, actors and agents, big and small, went crazy.

One by one, if you can find connections, you can find connections. If you can't find connections, you will try to gain connections with remote executives at various activities.

But within a few days, Chen Zhixi's words spread in the circle: "Now we have only decided on the outline. We will not choose the characters until the specific story is ready."

Chen Zhixi's words are extremely credible. In addition, apart from the news about the "finalized outline", there is no news about the preparation of "The Wandering Earth" from within the remote area. Everyone gradually believes this.

But they also complained: "When it comes to casting, I have to give a good word and let people wait until long."

This shows how much expectations the outside world has for "The Wandering Earth".

…………

Cheng Yu'an really doesn't understand why "The Grandmaster" and "Kung Fu" need to be converted to 3D and re-released this year.

Just to ride on the popularity of 3D and make more money?

Some people often say that if "Kung Fu" were released now, it would definitely win the box office championship.

But the reality is that the 3D converted "Kung Fu" received little attention after its release, with only 6 million box office on the first day.

"The Grandmaster" grossed 5.4 million at the box office on its first day of re-release.

This result alone is not enough to cover the cost of conversion, so why use it?

Cheng Yu'an has been working on ideas in the screenwriting team these days and doesn't pay much attention to the external situation.

On this day, Cheng Yu'an went home early, and the writing team didn't go well today.

The screenwriter wanted to write a Hollywood-style hero who saves the world, but Cheng Yu'an wanted to show the hero while making the protagonist less "heroic".

To this end, the two sides launched a fierce brainstorming session.

"With billions of people, why does the protagonist want to get the idea to save the world?" This is Cheng Yu'an's core point of view. He wants to knock the protagonist off the altar, because the protagonist is not that smart and not that different.

"But he is the protagonist, he is awesome, and the world needs him to save it." This is a golden rule that has long been proven in hero movies.

"That's why I said to be a different kind of hero. What you want, others also want. When the entire human race is in danger of extinction, you are the only one who knows how to save it? Others can't save it? Why can you succeed?"

"Director Cheng, you are so unreasonable." The screenwriter was a little confused by Cheng Yu'an, "Then if you write it like this, why do you need the protagonist?"

"So," Cheng Yu'an guided fully, "the 'protagonist' of "The Wandering Earth" is the protagonist of the perspective. We see the story from the perspective of the protagonist group, but the protagonist of the story of "The Wandering Earth" does not necessarily have to be us.

The characters in the lens. This is the feeling I want."

After listening to Cheng Yuan's words, Wang Hongwei quickly understood what he meant: "You mean, you want to show unity in "The Wandering Earth"?"

"That's probably what I mean." Cheng Yu'an nodded, "I don't want to make a Chinese science fiction movie where the protagonist is a Hollywood lone hero. In the end of the world, we ordinary people can also save the earth by using our power. The protagonist

It’s not a genius who is extremely smart, nor a strong man who is born with supernatural powers. What I want is a group of ordinary people, and I don’t want to write about geniuses, because geniuses are too far away from us.”

This is difficult for the screenwriting team. Ordinary people save the world and cannot cheat the protagonist. This is difficult to do.

When Cheng Yuan came back, Liu Yifei was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, watching "Super Marines".

Cheng Yu'an was both angry and amused after watching this: "Hey, you are the boss's wife after all. Do you watch pirated versions of your own movies?"

Liu Yifei was eating fruit in her mouth, staring at the TV screen, and said: "It won't be released so soon in China. I won't ask them to get the original disc. Why don't I watch the pirated resource first? At worst, I will wait until it is released in China. I will turn 50

I’ll give you 1 yuan to compensate for your ticket price.”

Cheng Yuan sat down next to Liu Yifei and watched together.

"Big Hero 4" is the first animated film co-operated by a major animation company and Disney.

It was released in North America on November 7 and earned US$15.83 million on the first day. Now, almost two months later, the film has earned over US$500 million worldwide. Disney is happy to see this.

With a stroke of his pen, he supported several movies still in production by a major animation company with US$100 million.

In fact, this money was obtained by the company itself. Disney did not believe that a big animation company could sell well, so it refused to give the money.

Now that "Big Hero 6" is performing well, Disney has invested 100 million in five animated films.

After watching for a while, Aunt Zhao called for dinner, and then the two of them got up and went to the dining room to eat.

Liu Yifei said: "Are this year's Oscar nominations coming out soon?"

It's okay not to mention this. Speaking of Oscars, Cheng Yu'an was too busy with work this year and his wife was pregnant, so he had no time to participate in public relations: "According to previous years, it should be within these few days. "Interstellar" will definitely be nominated, you

Want to go?"

"My belly will be visible by then, so I won't have a big belly."

"You can get married with a big belly, and walk on the red carpet with a big belly. You can also learn from Natalie Portman. I came to the award ceremony while pregnant. It's up to you if you don't give me an award. Then you can do it.

No, I’ll give it to you, and you’ll make history.”

The more Cheng Yu'an talked, the more outrageous he became. Liu Yifei said angrily: "Let's eat your food. The more he talks, the less serious he becomes."

But there is indeed a sense of loneliness in her expression. She has also been said to be a carpet star. Every time she walks on the red carpet, she is either in the name of Cheng Yu'an's family or as a brand guest, and rarely in the name of a shortlisted film actor.

"Interstellar" will definitely be shortlisted, but she is pregnant, so it is inconvenient and unwilling to show her face on the red carpet.
