Chapter 353
……
Damn it.
No wonder you all were eating so elegantly; it turns out someone was filming.
Bastards!
"Sister Fan~"
"Hmm?"
"In the future, you could say some things a bit earlier~"
..... 0
Chen Fan laughed very happily.
Qin Yu wiped his mouth, feeling very dissatisfied.
Not one of these guys is any good.
They only said something after he'd eaten half.
"Chen Fan is really something, why remind Qin Yu? I was just eating instant noodles and watching Qin Dao to help the meal go down."
"So fragrant."
"……"
"That's right, Qin Yu is eating so well, but why not eat the abalone? Is it not cooked well?"
"Maybe he's just seen too much of it."
"……"
"To the person above, you really are a talent."
"……"
On Weibo, a group of onlookers were watching very happily.
The sight of Qin Yu gnawing on a crab leg at the charity gala was truly interesting.
He didn't treat us like outsiders at all.
The others laughed, though Zhang Yimou was quite interested in *The Matrix*.
Seeing Qin Yu stop eating, he immediately asked.
"Qin Dao, is the editing for *The Matrix* finished?"
Hearing this, the big shots present all looked over, as did Wang Zhangdian.
Although he was an investor, Qin Yu was too overbearing.
Light Chaser here was only responsible for promotion; they couldn't get a hand in the filming or anything else.
"The rough cut is already finished, and the fine cut will be out in a few days."
"I heard you say in front of the reporters just now that *The Matrix* is epoch-making. Is there some reasoning behind that?"
"Naturally, there is." Qin Yu didn't put on airs and began to explain.
"In my opinion, if Chinese films want to go global, there are only two paths."
The others became interested, and ignoring the young ladies dancing on stage, they continued to ask.
"Which two?"
"……"
Qin Yu looked at everyone and said with a smile.
"The first path is to take our uniquely Chinese mythological system of films and use special effects to perfectly present these mythological stories."
"If filmed well, those grand scenes would shock even the West, even if they aren't familiar with the myths."
"Movies are ultimately about giving people visual impact, and mythological stories can achieve that."
"……"
Everyone frowned. Qin Yu's idea was good, but if they really played it that way...
The investment would be massive.
When our ancestors wrote myths, they never thought about them being made into movies one day.
So, they wrote them to be as shocking as possible.
A single Primordial Continent is tens of billions of miles wide; dozens of Blue Stars wouldn't even be that big...
"Qin Dao, won't historical blockbusters work? Mythology is too difficult."
Qin Yu looked at Wang Zhonglei and teased.
"Why wouldn't they? Didn't Director Chen set an example for us?"
Wang Zhonglei: "……"
………………
PS: First update.
New book uploaded, seeking collections, flowers, tips, update requests, rating tickets, and all support!! Nine.
189 Arrogant Dragon Prince, guests are scared to death, Qin Yu is having a blast, Big Brother Cheng is so angry he wants to hit someone.
Everyone's mouth twitched as well.
Damn it.
Almost forgot about Director Chen; that really won't work.
"Historical films require a certain amount of life experience. Even if you film the very popular *Three Kingdoms*, you still need to understand a certain amount of Chinese history."
Everyone nodded; that was true, historical films are indeed like that.
"Then what about the other path?"
Everyone looked at Qin Yu again. The first path was doable.
But everyone felt it was very difficult.
Wu Ershan had some ideas, but the others still wanted to see if there was a simpler path.
"Isn't the second path exactly what I'm walking now?"
The people at the table were stunned for a moment, with Wang Zhonglei reacting the fastest.
"Qin Dao, you mean sci-fi films!"
A faint smile appeared on Qin Yu's face, and he nodded.
"It's best if they are heavy industrial sci-fi films; gimmicks won't work."
"Heavy industrial sci-fi films~"
"Hiss!!!!!"
Hearing this, everyone present gasped.
This difficulty is no less than that of mythological blockbusters.
Aside from Qin Yu, there is no one else who dares to do this now.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems there really isn't any other path; if one wants to get out, there are only these two paths.
The cultural differences in other areas are too great, whether it's romance, art-house, youth, or crime.
People just don't get the point.
"Won't comedies work?"
Feng Xiaogang said with dissatisfaction.
"Director Feng, name three pure comedies you've seen from Hollywood and tell me how they did."
Feng Xiaogang: "……"
Hearing this, everyone understood; comedies are even less viable, as cultural differences are even more obvious in that genre.
People who don't understand it find it incredibly awkward.
"Listening to Qin Dao's words, I have benefited greatly," Big Brother Cheng sighed.
"We should be the ones thanking you, Big Brother. For the past ten years, you brought kung fu films to the whole world."
Hearing this, Jackie Chan shook his head and didn't speak.
Did he bring them to the whole world?
Actually, he didn't; he just walked in front of the whole world himself.
Kung fu films don't even count as a sub-genre in Hollywood.
People just watch them as a novelty.
