Chapter 282 Lu Yun: "Feng Ji, I've brought Director Guo Fan and Director Jiaozi here!" (Seeking monthly votes)
To be honest, when Lu Yun received Feng Ji's call and learned what kind of help he wanted, the first thing that came to his mind was the "Three Gods of Domestic Entertainment".

That is, Guo Fan, Jiaozi, and Feng Ji from the previous life.

Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth" ushered in a new era for Chinese science fiction films and elevated the Chinese film industry to a new level.

With its grand narrative and stunning visual effects, the film showcased the potential of Chinese and Lao science fiction films to the world, winning more attention and recognition for Chinese films in the international market.

Then came "The Wandering Earth 2," which directly showcased the strength of science fiction films.

Of course, it also met with more resistance from Americans.

Hollywood blockbusters in the US typically start with over 4000 theaters, but "The Wandering Earth" was only allocated a little over 100 theaters.

If a large number of theaters were initially planned, but the number of theaters was reduced because no one watched the movies, that would be normal.

This is how Hollywood blockbusters are shown in China. At first, they get a lot of screenings because they are Hollywood blockbusters, but if they do poorly at the box office, they reduce the number of screenings to make room for other movies.

But if only a few screenings are given from the beginning, then it's intentional targeting.

So many people say that "The Wandering Earth" is not watched abroad and is just a Chinese film for its own enjoyment, which is not wrong, but Lu Yun thinks it still accomplished the task of "cultural export" very well.

After all, cultural output doesn't always have to be exported; internal output is also a form of cultural output.

Breaking down certain illusions about foreign countries can also achieve the goal of "cultural export".

Director Jiaozi's "Ne Zha" broke the shackles of traditional animated films with its unique perspective and profound themes, winning widespread praise from audiences at home and abroad.

He reinterpreted classic images from traditional culture using modern techniques, injecting new vitality into domestic animated films.

The second installment, "Ne Zha," was even more remarkable, reaching fifth place on the all-time world box office chart based solely on domestic box office revenue.

It also directly slapped the faces of those who claimed that the domestic film and television industry was in a "film and television winter" because their own films were not good.

Moreover, even though the overseas box office of "Ne Zha 2" is still only a fraction of the domestic box office, it still reached 4 million RMB, which is more than the total box office of many movies.

This also includes many Hollywood blockbusters.

For example, in the two years before Lu Yun's rebirth in his previous life, some Hollywood blockbusters with production costs of one or two hundred million US dollars only grossed tens of millions of US dollars worldwide, which translates to only a few hundred million RMB, resulting in a complete loss.

Global audience interest in Hollywood films has shown a clear downward trend.

When it comes to successful examples of cultural export, one cannot help but mention "Black Myth: Wukong," produced under the direction of Feng Ji.

Based on the classic novel "Journey to the West", it blends traditional culture with modern game technology, presenting a fantasy world full of oriental charm to players around the world.

The game has garnered significant attention at domestic and international game exhibitions, becoming an important representative of the cultural export of Chinese single-player games.

The main difference is that unlike movies, which are dependent on cinemas and where the screen is restricted, games can be purchased and played as long as you have a computer or game console.

Before Lu Yun's previous life, "Black Myth: Wukong" had already exceeded 100 billion in sales, with foreign players accounting for 30%, meaning that approximately 1000 million copies were sold overseas.

It's worth noting that a typical blockbuster game selling tens of millions of copies is considered a huge success.

So in the previous life, many people wanted to bring these three people together to see what kind of sparks they could create.

However, in his previous life, Lu Yun didn't have the chance until he died, but in this life... the opportunity actually fell into Lu Yun's own hands!
What are you waiting for?
Get started now!
Needless to say, Guo Fan was filming a program at the space airport.

"Come on, Brother Guo, I'll take you to see something fun!"

"What's so fun?"

"You'll know once you go there."

"Then let's go!"

Lu Yun and Jiaozi have a good relationship. They not only collaborated on the important Nezha flame effects, but also provided voice acting for important supporting characters.

The Jiaozi team analyzed that the film's box office success of 60 billion yuan was largely due to Lu Yun, so they are very grateful to him. Jiaozi is currently supervising the production of the official spin-off comic of "Ne Zha," titled "The Legend of Ao Bing," in which the character of "Dragon King Ao Guang" is portrayed as a handsome man, influenced by Lu Yun.

He hasn't started making "Ne Zha 2" yet, and he's not in seclusion working on his creative projects, so it was easy for Lu Yun to arrange a meeting after he contacted him.

"Let me show you something great. They are also reinterpreting classic figures from traditional culture using modern techniques. It's also a mythological subject, and the protagonist's influence is even greater than that of Nezha."

"More influential than Nezha? Then it must be the Monkey King!"

I instantly became interested in dumplings.

After confirming that they would be there, Lu Yun called Feng Ji back: "Feng Ji, I've brought Director Guo Fan and Director Jiaozi over!"

"Who?"

Upon hearing these two names, Feng Ji was momentarily stunned.

Lu Yun: "You were looking for a director, so I brought Guo Fan and Jiaozi here. You should have heard of them, right?"

What does it mean to say you should have heard of it?

I've heard so much about it!

One of them is a director who opened the door to domestic science fiction films, and his films grossed 65 billion yuan at the box office!
One of them is a director who opened the door to domestic animated films, and his films grossed 60 billion yuan at the box office!
It directly boosted the domestic cultural and entertainment industry by a significant margin.

Feng Ji and his team work in the gaming industry, which is also considered part of the cultural and entertainment industry.

He had also watched both movies and even wondered if his own creation, "Black Myth: Wukong," would open the door to domestic single-player games.

I never expected that Lu Yun could find these two people to help!
Although their specific areas of expertise differ, they both belong to the cultural and entertainment industry, so he should take this opportunity to learn from them.

Hey, the story of Journey to the West is about obtaining Buddhist scriptures, it's practically destiny!
Two days later, Lu Yun took Guo Fan and Jiaozi to Youke Company. When Feng Ji, Guo Fan and Jiaozi met, they had a strange feeling.

Lu Yun glanced at their expressions and smiled, "So, do you need me to introduce you?"

"No need for introductions, I know these two."

Feng Ji took the initiative to shake hands and said, "I've seen both director Guo Fan's and director Jiaozi's movies, they're fantastic!"

To Lu Yun's surprise, Guo Fan and Jiaozi also knew Feng Ji, but they both called him by his online name "Youka".

"We also know Mr. Ka."

Dumpling said, "Boss Ka, the game you guys made before, 'Dou Zhan Shen,' was also very fun. That's when I became interested in mythological themes."

Guo Fan said, "I had a lot of fun playing 'Art of War: Red Tides' before. It reinterpreted traditional mythology in the form of science fiction war, which left a deep impression on me. The setting of the fourth-generation civilization in the solar system is also great."

After the three finished speaking, they looked at each other and then laughed happily.

Lu Yun knew that putting these three people together would definitely have a different effect, but he didn't expect that the difference would be so obvious as soon as they were put together.

As the one who facilitated today's meeting, Lu Yun had no idea what kind of impact it would have on the future of China's cultural and entertainment industry.

But since things have come to this, let's play the game first.

Lu Yun wanted to see what changes had occurred in the game since his last visit.

When he initially invested in "Black Monkey," he had the intention of playing games first.

"Come on, Mr. Feng, I brought them here today to play some good stuff, don't stay at the entrance."

"Of course, welcome!"
