director of the millennium

Peng Yuchang, Liu Yifei, Yuan Hong, Zhu Yawen, Jin Sha, Chen Daoming, Sun Honglei.

These seven are the main cast of "Ready Player One" chosen by Wu Yuan.

The first five are the protagonists of justice, and the last two are the founder of "Oasis" and the villain boss.

As for the female subordinate under the villain boss, that is, the management of IOI Company, Wu Yuan plans to let Wang Likun play the role.

I have to say that Wang Likun is indeed suitable for playing the role of a beautiful agent, similar to her classic role in "Agent Number Five".

She is beautiful yet cool, and her heroic appearance is very attractive.

The remaining minor supporting characters, such as the gang members led by the heroine in reality who rebelled against IOI Corporation, various IOI soldiers, etc., and the villain's secretary and the like.

Then Wu Yuan doesn't need to worry about it himself, the casting director of the crew will be responsible for filling in these minor supporting roles.

Wu Yuan invited only the above seven people to attend the script seminar. Even Wang Likun did not come because her experimental role did not play a decisive role in the main plot and was just a tool.

Well, it’s similar to the female villain with mantis knife legs played by Liu Yifei in "Kingsman: The Golden Circle".

The first week after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The script seminar of "Ready Player One" was officially held, and everyone gathered in the medium-sized conference room on the 12th floor of Light and Shadow Times.

Looking at everyone present, Wu Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat, was very satisfied.

Although these people cannot be said to be the best actors in the mainland entertainment industry, they are precisely the most suitable actors for this movie.

Well, except for Jinsha, this girl was forced in by the company. After all, if you don’t count Liu Yifei, the boss’s wife, she is the top lady in the company, and she has to show up in Wu Yuan’s movie.

By the way, Zhu Yawen is the boss.

Zhu Yawen, who plays the leading role in the commercial blockbuster "The Legend of Zu" in this life, is no longer the little scoundrel he was in his previous life.

He is currently the male actor born in the 80s with the highest cumulative box office, and he is also the most popular actor. When the circle counts things like the four little fresh meat, he is always ranked first.

The only ones who can be compared with him on the same level now are the middle-aged male actors born in the 70s, such as Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming.

Zhu Yawen is absolutely satisfied with the achievements he has made before he is 30 years old. Therefore, he has a strong sense of belonging to the company and actively cooperates with the company's arrangements.

Even though he didn't get to play the leading male role in "Ready Player One" this time, and even had to share a role with a little boy (Hu Xianxu), he had no complaints.

Yes, Zhu Yawen plays Xiu from "Oasis" in "Ready Player One" this time.

Unlike Spielberg's version of "Ready Player One", Wu Yuan's "Ready Player One" was started three to five years earlier, so the level of special effects and cost are different from those in Spielberg's era.

As we all know, the special effects technology in the film industry has been advancing by leaps and bounds every year in the first 21 years of the 20st century. New technologies are being updated every year, and the cost of old technologies is decreasing.

So even though there is only a gap of three to five years, the current technology is not enough to support Wu Yuan to completely virtualize the "Oasis" in the movie like Spielberg did. That is, all the characters in Oasis are completely virtualized with full special effects using motion capture technology.

Wu Yuan still had to rely mainly on real people when shooting Ready Player One, which was more like The Avengers, with real people shooting and special effects synthesis. The special effects company was able to build an almost "virtual" oasis world, but it had to cooperate with the green screen, letting the protagonists shoot the stories happening in the oasis themselves, and then based on their real-life materials, they added special effects on their faces and clothes, turning people from real people into 3D virtual people.

It is similar to the octopus-faced captain in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", using real shooting in the early stage and facial special effects in the later stage together.

In this case, "Xiu", the ninja who shines brightly in the oasis, really needs a real person to play the role, and then based on this real actor, special effects are given to him to make him appear more virtual and more like an anime character.

As for this candidate, Wu Yuan naturally chose Zhu Yawen.

After all, he is muscular but not buff. He is the kind of tough guy with slender bones and not very tall, which fits the positioning of a "ninja".

The child star Hu Xianxu is responsible for playing the role of "Xiu" in the real world, and there is no need to worry about the problem that the two do not look alike.

Who uses their own face to create the face in games?

nonexistent!

Instead, it will make the audience feel that this is what a normal child player does, pinching a handsome and well-built guy as his own character in the game~
“Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend today’s script workshop.”

Wu Yuan cleared his mind of all thoughts and came back to his senses. He coughed dryly and said, "Today our task is very heavy. Please feel free to speak out your understanding of the characters in the experiment, your in-depth analysis of the main story of the script, and your opinions on other characters."

"The one who got the script the longest has been three or four months, and the one who got it the latest has been more than two months. After all this time, you should have some experience with the script."

"Then let's get started."

Following Wu Yuan's words, everyone's expressions became serious.

Chen Daoming, an actor of the older generation, was the most familiar with script discussion and the most adaptable. He was the first to stand up and say, "I have some thoughts and understandings about Zhu Chuanwei, the founder of Oasis..."

Zhu Chuanwei, this is the name of the founder of Oasis played by Chen Daoming.

And choosing such a name also has special meaning.

Because the original novel is set in the United States, and Wu Yuan wants to adapt it completely to the local context, the name James Halliday from the original novel definitely cannot be used.

So Wu Yuan used the name of Zhu Chuanqiu, a Chinese scientist who participated in the development of the world's first computer.

Zhu Chuanqiu was born in Tianjin in 1919. In 1946, at the University of Pennsylvania, Zhu Chuanqiu and five Americans invented the world's first computer (ENIAC), which rewrote the history of human civilization.

Mr. Zhu also received the "Computer Pioneer Award" from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Using his name as the founder of the virtual universe "Oasis" is also a very good way to pay tribute to him.

However, Wu Yuan only used a pseudonym for the name. The life experience of this character is still mainly based on James Halliday in the story of "Ready Player One".

"Zhu Chuanwei's father is a mechanic and an alcoholic; his mother is a waitress and has a history of manic-depressive psychosis..."

Chen Daoming methodically reads the background story of this character and expresses his own views. (End of this chapter)
