for Advance Chapter
The main purpose of Wu Mingxuan and his team's trip was to come to the mainland for a roadshow preview and to promote "Wushuang" when it was about to be released, so they went directly to Shanghai on the afternoon of the third day after arriving in Beijing, the second stop of this 7-city national tour.
After the roadshow in Shanghai, Wu Mingxuan will take Li Xue back to Beijing to formally discuss cooperation with China Film Huayi on the Monkey King series. In addition, the project will be directly launched to start preliminary preparations. After all, Wu Mingxuan has little free time here. He will direct "The Chinese Zodiac" in May or June next year.
The Monkey King series is actually just an experiment. If Wu Mingxuan or Emperor Entertainment Group invests on their own, they will definitely not do it because the risk is too great. However, if China Film Huayi undertakes most of the investment and provides human and material support, then there will be no problem.
Especially for Wu Mingxuan, the copyright is in his own hands. Once it is proven that his attempt is successful and he can really create a movie universe similar to Marvel, then the rest will be very easy to operate. We can just set up an Eastern Marvel. You guys play with your Asgard, and we play with our Journey to the West universe.
Because there were several female stars accompanying us at noon, the news that Wu Mingxuan was going to invest 100 million US dollars with China Film Huayi to shoot a Monkey King series based on Journey to the West quickly spread.
100 million US dollars, two superstars with the most box office appeal and international influence, Wu Mingxuan, a genius director who appears once in 30 years, plus China Film, Huayi and Emperor Entertainment Group.
Others could not find a second adjective to describe it except the strongest Chinese-language film. The most terrifying thing was that Wu Mingxuan also suggested that Chow Yun-fat play the Jade Emperor and Aaron Kwok play the Bull Demon King.
At that time, mainland netizens did not know the unspoken rules of the Hong Kong circle's superstars to accept roles, and thought that the salary they received in the mainland was their real worth.
If calculated in this way, Jet Li alone must have received hundreds of millions of yuan in salary, because his new movie "The Warlords" to be released at the end of the year received a salary of 100 million yuan.
This blockbuster movie, which cost 300 million yuan, brought together four superstars: Jet Li, Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Xu Jinglei, one of the four leading actresses. It is even stronger than the lineup of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and has almost locked the title of the first blockbuster of this year.
However, the salaries of the four superstars are very different. Jet Li received 100 million yuan, Andy Lau received 16 million yuan, Takeshi Kaneshiro received 12 million yuan, and Xu Jinglei received 2 million yuan.
Is it exaggerated? But this is the huge difference in pay between female and male stars in the circle nowadays, which also explains why Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing really want to star in "Wushuang".
Because the four Dan Shuang Bing are not worth much these days, they are still somewhat important in endorsements and small screens. If they want to stand out on the big screen, they still have to have a big boss behind them to help them.
After hearing the news, Yang Mi made up her mind and rejected Rong Xinda's very generous contract extension, and continued to play her maid. If everything goes well later, she probably won't be able to play this maid.
After hearing the news, Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing came directly to Wu Mingxuan to verify it, wanting to know if the news was true.
Wu Mingxuan couldn't spend every day around girls. Women were just his condiments, used to relieve stress and warm the bed. So he wasn't having sex at this time, but was creating, trying to create a high-quality script comparable to Thor 1.
He integrated the worldview of the Monkey King series with the later King of Glory. There would definitely be no monsters. Not only would foreigners not understand it, but it would also be difficult to pass the review. Monsters were not allowed to become monsters after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The gods Wu Mingxuan set were the former humans, the former masters of the earth. However, due to the highly developed civilization of immortals and gods, they left the earth very early and went to the depths of the universe, but left a road to the sky connecting the earth.
Immortals are watchdogs who guard the door for gods. Many of them evolved from new humans, that is, our generation of humans, not the gods of the previous generation.
In fact, the Protoss did not have only one generation. The earliest generation of great gods was the most terrifying, but they had internal strife and split into two camps, gods and demons.
The main reason for the disputes and internal strife on both sides was that the demons were rebellious and actually wanted to use the technology and laws they mastered to study new humans and powerful species.
The second generation of Protoss appeared under such circumstances. Because the war between gods and demons was too tragic, the demons accidentally created a very terrifying wave of monsters, that is, demon species.
These are new species created by combining their own genes with those magical lives in the depths of the universe.
Some new species have very powerful and terrifying powers. They are not willing to be driven by the demons, so they began to rebel against the gods and demons, and almost destroyed the two races, allowing the entire universe to be ruled by them.
They call themselves the demon race, but in the eyes of the gods, they are the species of demons, creatures accidentally created by the demons that should not exist, so the gods, who were seriously injured, created the second and third generations of the gods, trying to destroy the species of demons and the demon race. The
new humans are the last product, a failed work, no longer born with divine power, but can continue to break and activate the gene lock to become stronger, and those who gain great power through self-cultivation are immortals.
The immortals are divided into two factions, one of which lives in Kunlun, guarding the earth and trying to cut off the connection between the earth and the heaven, hoping that humans can control their own destiny, so they cut off the road to heaven hundreds of years ago.
However, the closure of the road to heaven naturally also means the closure of the road to immortality. All the immortals and monsters left on Earth will slowly return to ordinary life and no longer be able to use powerful powers. They can only have a long life and powerful superpowers beyond ordinary people.
Another tribe is willing to be ruled by the gods in heaven. They live on the other side of the moon, which is the "dark side of the moon" that cannot be observed from the earth. Whenever the earth has the ability to go out and grasp the truth, they will wipe out all civilizations on the earth.
This is the general macro setting, but many details still need to be further improved, and the plot is secondary.
For a super movie universe like Marvel, many times it mainly depends on the setting. The setting is there and it is very reliable, and the plot can be made at will. That thing is actually not difficult at all.
