Chapter 621 Ordinary Heroes
The momentum of "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" can no longer be stopped. It attracted 2.5 million yuan in three days on New Year's Day, and its cumulative box office exceeded 6.5 million yuan.The runner-up was the big movie "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes", which earned 2014 million on New Year's Day, and the cumulative box office broke 2015 million, becoming the biggest dark horse.

On the first working day after New Year's Day, the screenwriter of "The Wandering Earth" received a good news: the story outline of the movie has finally been finalized! ! !

Since the screenwriter 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 screenwriter team decided to still tell a rescue story in "The Wandering Earth".

Inspired by The Martian.

But "The Wandering Earth" no longer saves a single person, but rescues the planetary engine and rescues all mankind.

From the outline point of view, it is a very typical Hollywood type story, the protagonist group saves the world.

But Cheng Yu'an doesn't like lonely heroes. Although this brief outline is passed, Cheng Yu'an must refer to the original version for the specific rescue story.

As soon as the outline of the story comes out, the main characters and specific stories must be confirmed quickly.

I don't know who spread the word, saying that the script outline of "The Wandering Earth" has been confirmed, and now it is filling in the characters and specific stories.

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

One by one, if you can find a relationship, you can find a relationship, and if you can't find a relationship, you will forcefully seek the relationship between remote executives in various activities.

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

Chen Zhixi's words are highly credible, and besides the news of the "outline finalization" inside the remote, there is no news about the preparation of "The Wandering Earth", and everyone gradually believes this.

But they also complained: "When to cast a role, you have to give a happy word, and let people wait until when."

It can be seen how much the outside world expects from "The Wandering Earth".

…………

Cheng Yu'an really didn't understand why "The Grandmaster" and "Kung Fu" were converted to 3D for re-screening this year.

Just to make another wave of money to catch the heat of 3D?

Some Zhou Chuan often said that if "Kung Fu" is released now, it will definitely win the box office championship.

But the reality is that after the 3D transformation of "Kung Fu" was released, there was little interest in it. It only had a box office of 600 million on the first day.
The box office of "The Grandmaster" was 540 million on the first day of re-screening.

This result is not enough to pay for the transformation, so why pull it out.

Cheng Yu'an has been working on ideas with the screenwriting team for the past few days, and doesn't care much about the outside world.

On this day, Cheng Yu'an came home early, and it was not going well in the screenwriting team today.

The screenwriter wanted to write a Hollywood-style hero to save the world, but Cheng Yu'an wanted to show the hero while writing the protagonist as not so "heroic".

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

"Billions of people, why should the protagonist want an idea to save the world?" This is Cheng Yu'an's core point of view. He wants to bring the protagonist down from the altar. The protagonist is not so smart and not so different.

"But he is the protagonist, he is powerful, and the world needs him to save." This is the golden rule proven by hero movies.

"That's why I said to be a different hero. What you want, others also want. In the crisis of the extinction of all mankind, are you the only one who knows how to save? Others can't save? Why can you succeed?"

"Director Cheng, you're making trouble for no reason." The screenwriter was a little dazed by Cheng Yu'an, "Well, if you write it like this, why do you need a protagonist?"

"So," Cheng Yu'an fully guided, "The 'protagonist' of "The Wandering Earth" is the protagonist of the perspective. We read 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 camera. That’s what I want.”

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

"Probably that's what it means." Cheng Yu'an nodded, "I don't want to make a Chinese sci-fi where the main character is a lone hero like Hollywood. Under the apocalypse, we ordinary people can also save the earth, the main character is nothing A genius who is extremely smart is not a strong man who is born with supernatural power. What I want is a group of ordinary people, don't write about geniuses, geniuses are too far away from us."

This is difficult for the screenwriter team. Ordinary people can save the world, and they can't cheat on the protagonist. This is very difficult to do.

When Cheng Yu'an came back, Liu Yifei was watching "Big Hero [-]" on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Cheng Yu'an was annoyed and funny after watching it: "Hey, you are the proprietress after all, do you watch pirated copies of your own movies?"

Liu Yifei was eating fruit, staring at the TV screen, and said: "It's not released so soon in China, so I won't ask them to get the original disc, or I'll watch the next pirated resource first, at worst, wait until it's released in China, I'll turn 50 I’ll give you [-] yuan to pay for your ticket.”

Cheng Yuan sat down beside Liu Yifei and watched together.

"Big Hero [-]" is the first animated film that a major animation company has collaborated with Disney.

It was released in North America on November 11, and earned US$7 million on the first day. Now almost two months have passed, and the film has earned more than US$1583 million worldwide. Disney is very happy to see this.

With a flick of a pen, $[-] million was donated to several films still in production by a major animation company.

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

Now that "Big Hero 1" is performing well, Disney has invested 5 million yuan in [-] animated films.

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

Liu Yifei said: "Is this year's Oscar nomination coming soon?"

It’s okay not to mention this, but when it comes to the Oscars, Cheng Yu’an is too busy this year, and his wife is pregnant, so he has no time to participate in public relations: "According to the time of previous years, it should be in these few days. "Interstellar" must be nominated, you Do you want to go?"

"When the time comes, my belly will show up, so I won't have a big belly."

"You can get married with a big belly, and it's not impossible to walk on the red carpet with a big belly. You can also learn from Natalie Portman. I came to the award ceremony while pregnant. If you don't give me an award, you can do it. When the time comes No, I will give it to you, and you will make history."

The more Cheng Yu'an said, the more outrageous he became, and Liu Yifei said angrily, "Eat your meal, the more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes."

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

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

Liu Yifei comforted herself, saying: "The academy has always disliked sci-fi films. "Interstellar" must have been nominated for a lot of technical awards. It doesn't matter if I go or not."
