Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Although "The Wandering Earth" has achieved great success in China, with a total box office of up to 4 billion, and the quality of the film is also very good, it can be regarded as the best Chinese science fiction film in so many years.

However, relatively speaking, in some foreign areas, especially those where English is the main language, although "The Wandering Earth" was also released, the box office results were not satisfactory.

Most of the box office results in overseas regions are contributed by local Chinese, and there are not many real foreign audiences.

After all, there are still huge cultural differences, and many people cannot understand the unique Eastern feelings of homeland in "The Wandering Earth".

Moreover, although the special effects of "The Wandering Earth" can be considered average in Haolaiwu, people have seen too many super science fiction blockbusters, so they are not very interested in it.

Therefore, the reputation of "The Wandering Earth" abroad is not too high.

Even McCann, who is also working in the film industry, has only heard of a science fiction film made by an Easterner called "The Wandering Earth", which did well at the box office. It is probably about transforming the earth into a spaceship to wander in the universe.

But that's all.

McCann only read some relevant information on the Internet, and ultimately did not watch the film in person. After all, in his subconscious, it was unlikely that excellent science fiction films would be made in the East.

In the same way, he also couldn't understand why some Easterners directly bought Cuarón's fantasy alien story. Do they have the strength to make such a work into a special effects movie?

This... is impossible!

So, with various puzzled emotions, McCann also collected information about Chen Feng.

And when he learned about the turmoil that Chen Feng caused in the Chinese film market, McCann was also shocked. He didn't expect that the other party would be such a person.

Later, he also watched "The Wandering Earth", "Infernal Affairs", "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", "Shark Beach" and other movies very seriously.

Even the literary film "Living Alone" was not spared.

After watching these films, McCann suddenly felt a great sense of oppression.

Because he discovered that Chen Feng could not only make science fiction films with good special effects, but also feature films with particularly good plots, especially the two films "Crazy Stone" and "Infernal Affairs".

It can be seen from this that Chen Feng has a strong ability to control the plot of the story!

If such a person really develops Cuarón's fantasy alien work with all his heart, maybe...he can succeed in the end?

When he thought of this possibility, McCann's eyes widened, but there was a look of expectation in his eyes.

Now, he suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing that Cuaron's work was snatched away by Chen Feng in advance, because even if the work was in his hands, he would definitely not get the support of his father's company for the time being, and he would not know in the end. Can you photograph it?

And now, that work is in the hands of Chen Feng, and it seems that he is more likely to make the work into a film as soon as possible!

Ultimately, what McCann cares most about is not who starts the film, he just wants to see a good fantasy movie.

Therefore, after understanding some of the situation on Chen Feng's side, he no longer felt disappointed, but had a little more expectation in his heart.

At the same time, a crazy idea began to pop up in his mind.

"Is it possible... to find a way to involve myself in Chen Feng's film project team? It's better for me to be a participant and witness, rather than a mere bystander!"

After having this idea, McCann began to actively operate.

…

On the other hand, Chen Feng was naturally very excited and happy after getting the copyright of Cuaron's work.

Cuaron's completed work is richer and more detailed than Chen Feng imagined, and many of its contents are actually things that were not shown in the movie in Chen Feng's dream world.

If the movie "Avatar" in the dream world is like a stream, then the content in Cuaron's works is like a mighty river.

A creek is just a tributary of the river.

The movie "Avatar" is only a small part of Cuarón's work.

Even...until now, Cuaron's works have not been completely completed, and there should be a lot of content in the follow-up.

In other words, if possible, Chen Feng can adapt this work into a series!

"Avatar" is just the first stepping stone!

After learning the truth, Chen Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

It seemed that his choice was indeed correct this time, and he had found a treasure this time.

And Caron also feels that he made the right decision.

After all, the price offered by Chen Feng was relatively not low, at one hundred thousand US dollars, and there were some subsequent dividends, which gave him long-term creative motivation.

As long as he can continue to create excellent works, his income will continue to flow.

Even if the proportion of the share is very low, if you add up to it, it will be a huge sum of money many years later.

At least it can ensure that he has enough food and clothing!

Of course, the premise of all this is that Chen Feng can make relevant movies well and sell them well at the box office.

Although we are still unsure about what will happen in the future, at least we can see hope.

So Caron is really satisfied now.

After the two parties signed the relevant agreement, Chen Feng began to negotiate with Cuarón on the creative ideas for the first film.

Only now did Chen Feng finally reveal the meaning of "Avatar".

"Avatar is the transliteration of avatar, which means incarnation."

"The so-called incarnation is when humans transform into aliens to communicate with aliens."

"Although the setting of your work about alien civilization is very exciting, and the conflict between human civilization and alien civilization is also very deep, the plot of the story is not very attractive, and it also lacks a sense of substitution."

"So, we can use the method of avatar to let the human protagonist transform into the physical appearance of an alien, and then communicate with the aliens."

"Let the collision of two civilizations focus on the protagonist."

"Ultimately let the protagonist make his own choice between the two civilizations."

"This can intensify the conflict of the story to the maximum extent, make the audience feel more involved, and make the whole story more exciting."

…

Chen Feng roughly narrated the plot of the classic "Avatar" based on his own memory in the dream world.

At this time, Caron next to him was already dumbfounded!
