This star is going to the moon

Chapter 158 Domestic films must be controlled by the Chinese themselves!

On June 2st, "Godzilla : King of the Monsters" was released.

Lu Yun, who is about to go to the animation production company of "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" to shoot facial information, has always regarded the "Monster Movie Universe" series as a special effects animation, and instead feels that the people in it are a burden.

People in China are probably all the same, most of them go there to fight monsters.

To the extent that "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters"'s domestic box office was higher than its North American box office, reaching $1.3 million versus $1.1 million.

Because of this ratio, Lu Yun remembers his previous life more clearly.

However, the box office of this movie was actually a flop. Fortunately, the current Hollywood film companies are still relatively determined and capable, and they continued to release several more films.

Not like the following years.

At the animation production company of "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality", staff began to use various devices on Lu Yun's face to obtain his facial information.

Watching Rowoon's face gradually taking shape on the computer, the staff members sighed quietly, "They used to say that normal people's faces couldn't compare to 3D modeled faces, not even celebrities', but I think Rowoon's face is comparable to a modeled face."

"Indeed, have you noticed? His pores are so delicate and his facial skin is so good. This is his natural look without any makeup."

"I used to hear that there's a gap between celebrities and ordinary people, but I didn't believe it. Now I do."

"It's not the same thing. When I was working on special effects movies, I also did facial modeling for other stars. Their natural looks couldn't compare to Road Cloud."

"Yes, I've done it before. Those celebrities have irregular sleep schedules, and their facial condition is actually quite bad when they don't wear makeup. It's nothing like Lu Yun's full and delicate facial condition, it's just like they're wearing makeup."

"But actually, Rowoon is not wearing any makeup right now. Makeup would cover up a lot of facial features. Rowoon is completely natural, and you can tell she hasn't had any surgery. She has a natural face."

"Isn't it said that Lu Yun is very busy right now? He's on a national moon landing mission and a groundbreaking manned spacecraft. Can he rest well? Can he stay in such good shape?"

"This... maybe it's talent. Anyway, Lu Yun can't be lazy, so it can only be talent. It is said that those extremely awesome people in history are different from ordinary people. They all have various talents. Some people can be full of energy even if they sleep four hours a day..."

This was an entertainment industry event, so Lu Yun brought his assistant Yan Xinxin with him. She heard the staff's whispered discussions nearby and immediately straightened her chest.

After thinking about it, he still felt unsatisfied, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and spread the news in the fan group.

Of course, she first asked the producer whether this matter needed to be kept confidential.

The producer was stunned by the question.

Confidential?

Promote it vigorously!

[Yi Xin Yi Yi: Let me tell you, today Brother Yun went to the animation company to do facial modeling, and the staff praised Brother Yun's natural look as good as his makeup...]

There was a burst of surprise in the fan group at first. Is Brother Yun finally going to come down to earth again to make a movie for them?
After all, Lu Yun’s identity as a “space scientist” became more and more prominent, especially after he took on the country’s manned lunar landing mission, his fans felt that he had ascended.

Even though people often say "there is no high or low job", many people even think that celebrities' jobs are more glamorous, not only do they earn more but they are also more famous.

But normal people know that "space scientists" are much more impressive than "stars". Movie stars are more prestigious and famous than TV stars. In front of aerospace scientists, they are all just children playing house.

What's more, Lu Yun accepted the country's manned lunar landing mission.

In the past, Rowoon rarely appeared in public, did not accept advertisements, and did not attend any events. His fans relied on his movies, TV series, and one variety show every year to survive.

Not only are there fewer movies and TV series now, but even variety shows will not be a regular next year. Where can fans go to see the latest updates on Brother Yun in the future?
You can't just stare at the technology news a few minutes after the news broadcast every day, right?
Now that the leader of Yixin said that Lu Yun has a new work, the fans are very happy.

[It's actually facial information modeling, is this a special effects blockbuster? ]

I heard that Hollywood Marvel has invited Yun Ge to star in a superhero movie. Is he going to star in a superhero movie?

[Ah, is this news true?] [Marvel's superhero blockbusters are so popular, Brother Yun is going to be an international superstar!]

But after a closer look, I found out that it was not a facial model, but a facial model for the protagonist of the cartoon.

"Alright... alright, seeing his face is also a work of art, I'm satisfied."

[Is it an animation? I'll pay attention to it when it comes.]

"Ah, why are you filming an animation? Don't you have other projects for Brother Yun?"

Some people were not very satisfied, but some were quite surprised. After all, Rowoon is different from other male traffic stars. His fan base includes a large number of men.

[Holy crap, "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality"? My favorite novel!]

Is "Mortal" going to be animated? I'm so excited! Yun Ge's looks are so good as Han Paopao, wow.

Speaking of the "Mortal" animation, do you remember the trailer for the "Mortal" animated film that came out in 2017, saying it would be released this year? Why is there no sound?

[Is it the heroine Nangong Wan who looks like "Shi Xiaolong" upon closer inspection?]

I was quite impressed by the trailer when I first saw it, but it ended up being silent. Was it too difficult to produce?

In fact, it was simply not suitable for me to make a movie from the beginning, so I gave up.

The plot of "Mortal" goes from the Qixuan Gate to entering the Huangfeng Valley, then to the invasion of the six sects of the Demonic Path and even the Xutian Palace in the Chaos Star Sea, and then to the war between the mages and monks returning to the Tiannan Mulan Grassland. It is really impossible to make such a film due to the limited length of the animated film.

Many novels are not suitable for film adaptation, even trilogies.

Lu Yun finally saw the animated film "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" that he had been longing for, and found that apart from the original trailer, only a small part of the positive content was made.

In addition to the issue of length, another problem with "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" is international cooperation.

It is said that a "dream team" composed of top international animators has been assembled.

The director is Yasushi Kawamura, the director of the daily animation series "Resident Evil", "Appleseed" and "Gantz".

The character designs are done by top Chinese designers Ping Fan and Chen Shufen, who have designed classic characters for "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "Chinese Paladin III".

The Mo Jiao was designed by Hollywood's top monster designer who designed the classic monster in "Pacific Rim".

The action design is handled by Shinji Higuchi, the storyboard designer of "Attack on Titan".

Some of the special effects were also produced by foreign CG production teams that have produced works such as "Appleseed" and "Tekken".

Of course, there are also many Chinese teams in this project.

But the main creators, especially the director, are from ordinary people. Even if he is a famous director, "Mortal" is an orthodox work about cultivating immortals. Even Chinese directors may not be able to produce the style of cultivating immortals. Due to cultural differences and different aesthetics, Japanese directors are okay for making trailers, but for the entire feature film...

Anyway, Lu Yun had already discovered a lot of problems in the part of the film he watched.

Fortunately, there is an animated series now. Lu Yun had already watched it in his previous life and it was very good.

However, there were too many scenes that burned money, which made other aspects a bit poor, so he was considering whether to invest.

When the production team of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" was dubbing the Dragon King Ao Guang, they met director Jiaozi and Lu Yun sighed: "It turns out that our own cultural themes must be controlled by our own people."

Although Jiaozi didn't know why Lu Yun made such an exclamation, he very much agreed with Lu Yun's point of view.

“Yes, the core of our culture is something only we can understand.”
