The Great Player of Light and Shadow Chapter 839: Perhaps the dream can really come true

"Painted Skin 4" has been confirmed to be the last film in the "Painted Skin" series.

Tong Liya will also officially bid farewell to the role of Bai Ling after this movie.

There are many reasons why this series cannot be continued.

The first three parts of "Painted Skin" have achieved very good returns, and investors are still willing to invest money in Guo Fan, but it is difficult for Guo Fan and his screenwriting team to come up with more exciting stories to attract audiences.

The story of the fourth part follows the ending of the third part. After the war between monsters and monsters, Bai Ling was sealed for 200 years. Due to an accident, he returned to the human world, but unexpectedly lost his memory. Bai Ling thus embarked on a journey of searching for himself and playing with the world.

Wonderful journey.

In internal discussions, Guo Fan complained more than once that he no longer wanted to make "Painted Skin": "I have to meet at least three groups of investors a day, and everyone said they support me and want me to continue filming "Painted Skin," but the fourth part

After that, I really couldn’t think of how else to write Bai Ling’s story. Some people also suggested that I make a Liao Zhai universe, but the public IP cannot do universe linkage. After writing the script of the fourth part, I didn’t even want to see the painting for a while.

and Bai Ling."

Director Guo Fan was tired on the one hand, so he chose to write Bai Ling as "dead" in the fourth film - Bai Ling finally dueled with the villain, disappeared forever in front of everyone, and his life and death were uncertain, in exchange for the immortality of the human and demon clans.

On the other hand, the subsequent costs can no longer be suppressed. Tong Liya’s salary for the fourth film only increased by 2 million compared with the third film. In the "Painted Skin" series, Tong Liya can get domestic

The actors receive the highest salary, and the rest of the cost was spent on post-production. At this point, the actual budget has exceeded the original 300 million and has gone straight to 500 million.

Tiangong Yicai developed a brand new special effects tool for "Painted Skin 4", but the cost was very high, making the profit prospects of "Painted Skin 4" suddenly unclear.

Therefore, Guo Fan decided to stop the "Painted Skin" series of movies.

In the future, the story of Liaozhai will meet the audience in the form of web dramas and animations, but there will no longer be live-action movies.

[In other words, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading.

Remote Video also informed the outside world of this news at the launch ceremony of "Painted Skin 4".

"Painted Skin" is a milestone in domestic fantasy films. It has been in business for 10 years. Its ending has aroused sighs from the outside world, but the audience also accepted it.

Regarding his future plans, Guo Fan revealed: "I already have an idea, but it is still in the preliminary discussion stage and it is not convenient to disclose it at the moment."

"Painted Skin 4" and "Mulan" are both in the Oriental Movie Capital, and the crews from both sides often visit each other.

I don't know if Tong Liya has a special way to tame Cheng Muchuan, or if Cheng Muchuan really likes Aunt Yaya. Cheng Muchuan is very good in Tong Liya's hands, he doesn't cry, doesn't make trouble and is obedient.

It made Liu Yifei jealous: "How about you go and be Aunt Yaya's daughter?"

Cheng Mufan was so embarrassed that he hid in Tong Liya's arms and didn't look at his mother.

"Yifei, it's your turn."

"Hey, here we come." Liu Yifei put down the thermos cup and got up to go to work.

Most of the green screen scenes in "Mulan" are action scenes, which are a bit dangerous and require preparation.

But despite this, Liu Yifei was still beaten to pieces, but she didn't care at all. Sometimes she felt that what she did was not good enough, and would take the initiative to ask for another one.

So, now Liu Yifei is lying on the bed, and Cheng Yuan is applying medicinal wine and massaging her.

Daughter sitting on the floor playing with puzzles.

On the set, he is the director, but after the scenes, he is the husband: "Let's do less action scenes in the future. My body has been recuperated in the past few years, but in the past few years, I have been injured again in action scenes."

"Hiss—" Liu Yifei groaned while lying on her stomach, "Didn't you teach me that if you want to get ahead, you have to endure hardships that others can't endure? This injury is nothing. Please be gentle. It's hard for actresses to get ahead now.

, I finally got through it, so I have to work harder.”

"That's what I said, but look at the injuries all over your body." Cheng Yu'an continued to press his wife's waist.

"After the life-long spondylosis in my childhood was treated, the serious illness disappeared. This minor injury recovered in just half a year, and it was nothing. Wherever you press, the child is still there." Liu Yifei raised her hand and hit it.

Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Mufan didn't understand and was still playing attentively.

"A play like "The Little Princess" is good." Cheng Yu'an said.

"I would like to do more of this kind of literary dramas, but there are not so many literary dramas with great female protagonists for me now." Not to mention domestically, books of literary dramas with leading female protagonists are scarce all over the world.

Oscar-winning actresses have to come to Marvel to play supporting roles.

The competition among domestic actresses is fierce. Liu Yifei is good, but she is not the only one who can play the heroine of literary dramas. Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhou Gongzi are all more reassuring to the director than Liu Yifei. Taking a step back, Hao Lei, Yan Bingyan and

Although Tan Zhuo is less famous, his acting skills are guaranteed.

If Liu Yifei wants to take over as a female lead in literary drama, she still has to compete with these seniors.

Liu Yifei then said: "You don't write a notebook for me."

Cheng Yu'an slapped Liu Yifei on the waist: "What you said is so heartbreaking, "Mulan" is not good."

"I mean literary drama, the kind that shows off my acting skills."

"Do you think I am a mental laborer or a coding machine who writes without having to think about it? Literary and drama scripts are so rare that publishing one in two or three years is considered a high productivity."

Liu Yifei turned over and Cheng Yuan took a towel to cover her: "Child."

"What is my daughter afraid of?" Liu Yifei continued, "It seems that you haven't written a script yourself for a long time."

It's true that after "Old Father", Cheng Yu'an basically stopped writing scripts. The scripts of "The Wandering Earth" and "Mulan" were written by his leading screenwriting team, and both movies have references from the original works. Cheng Yu'an

It’s been five or six years since I started writing an original story.

"Writing scripts is so tiring, even more tiring than filming." Cheng Yu'an is not a director like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou who take everything in hand. He has to have a hand in everything.

"There isn't much left in the safe." It probably doesn't exist anymore. All of Cheng Yu'an's scripts have been used up in the past few years, and most of the ones still in the safe are outlines and demos.

"No more, no more. A good script is a gift from God. Sometimes it depends on luck and fate. Okay, that's it." Cheng Yu'an called it a day and washed his hands.

…………

At noon on the 8th, a piece of good news came from across the ocean: the foreign language film "Three Billboards" directed by Zhang Yimou won the 75th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards for Best Film, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor.

Three awards!

Zhang Yimou became the second mainland director to win the Golden Globe Award after Cheng Yuan!

Although it was a foreign language film that won the award, Zhang Yimou was still highly praised in China.

"Lao Mouzi, who is nearly 70 years old, is still as good as his sword. His creative desire prompted him to try different genres other than Chinese-language films."

"Facts have proved that Zhang Yimou's choice to cooperate with Yuan Yuan was the most correct decision. Yuan Yuan can really help him realize his dream. I look forward to Director Zhang's performance at the Oscars!"
