The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

"Chairman!"

As Lin Bufan entered the conference room, the screenwriters who were already present stood up to greet him.

"Please sit down!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly and sat down. Shen Lin and Chen Yu, who were behind him, sat on either side of him.

Shen Lin is now Lin Bufan's chief secretary and will be involved in almost all of his work in the future, so naturally she needs to know everything.

Chen Yu was responsible for recording the meeting proceedings.

"Is the script finished?"

After everyone sat down, Lin Bufan looked at them.

"Yes, Chairman!"

Zhao Yu, the head of the scriptwriting team for "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas," handed over the completed script as he spoke.

After such a long period of polishing, the first script has finally been completed.

The entire plot is strictly following the outline; the only current step is to refine the specific plot and dialogue.

There are also the main characters.

The three core characters include Yun, who is a descendant of a family of beast tamers with a thousand-year-old tradition.

Ni, from the Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas, is the guardian of the entire other world.

Finally, there's Lei Lie, a hunter and predator among humans.

In addition, there are several other important characters in the human camp, such as the Doctor, Iron Warrior, and Viper.

The doctor's role is that of chief biologist, a somewhat obsessive and eccentric scientist who strongly supports Lei Lie's actions.

Iron Warrior is a heavy mech pilot, positioned as Lei Lie's henchman. He is a power-type character with a burly build and a volatile temper, and he looks down on "pretty boys" like Yun.

Viper is positioned as a ruthless scout and sniper, and the mech he pilots is also streamlined.

In the movie, his main task is to track Ni's whereabouts and, at a crucial moment, attempt to assassinate Ni's mount, the Deer-like creature.

Although these characters are portrayed as villains in the movie, it doesn't mean that they are like that in real life.

Human nature is complex, and one cannot judge a person as good or bad based on a single event.

To the people of the Mountain and Sea Spirit Realm, Lei Lie and his group are definitely bad guys and villains, but from the perspective of humans, they are just pioneers of humanity.

They chose to invade the Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas for the sake of humanity's future.

Lin Bufan has always believed that a film without a core message will never become a classic.

Even a classic film like Titanic was scrutinized twenty years later.

Of course, the movie "Guixu: The Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas" is mainly a "popcorn" style commercial blockbuster, and the exploration of human nature will only be touched upon briefly.

Yes, but we won't film it in detail; we'll just give a brief overview.

After all, this movie had a huge investment, and it's absolutely impossible to recoup the box office revenue from the mainland.

The main focus is on an international perspective. As such, some sacrifices need to be made in terms of plot. It can't be too profound. In short, it's all about being fun.

Ni, from the Guixu faction, is undoubtedly the guardian and has the most screen time. She is also the female lead of this movie, with a human head and a snake body, and her mount is a deer-like creature.

The deer-like creature resembles a horse, with a white head and tiger stripes. Its cry sounds like jade, and it can speak human language.

Ni is positioned as a cool and aloof character who doesn't talk much, but Lu Shu is like a chatterbox, which creates a sense of contrast.

The Qilin is a mythical beast within the Guixu realm; the one captured in the movie is female.

The Qi is male, and the Lin is female; together they are called Qilin. The male has a single horn on its head and is responsible for fighting, while the female is responsible for healing.

In the movie, Lin is captured and his blood is extracted, and Qi goes berserk and attacks humans. The tragic tension is obvious, and it also lays the groundwork for Guixu's next step in rebelling against humans.

In addition, Guixu has many other mythical beasts, all of which come from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, such as Chenghuang and Yingzhao, which almost all appeared at the end when they rebelled against humanity.

It will appear during the final battle against humanity.

Xiang Liu, the ultimate guardian of Guixu, is portrayed as a nine-headed serpent god in the movie, with each head representing a different disaster. Due to the death of Qilin, he was entrusted by Ni to Yun to awaken it.

Only someone like Yun, with a thousand-year-old family tradition of beast taming, could awaken Xiang Liu, who had fallen into a deep slumber.

After Xiang Liu appeared, the most memorable scene was when he swallowed a hundred-foot-tall combat mech in one gulp, which was extremely shocking.

At the same time, it was also because of Xiang Liu's appearance that the decline of Guixu was completely reversed, humanity was defeated, and Guixu was saved.

Besides these main characters, there are also some supporting characters, such as Ni's younger sister, Aruo, a centaur-like tribeswoman who is a descendant of Yingzhao.

Her emotional subplot begins with hostility towards Yun, who sees humans as pests. Later, she is critically injured and dies in a human bombing raid, which accelerates Ni's resolute decision.

In the movie, the special effects show that when A'Ruo runs, the horse's hooves create shimmering ripples on the water, which is very beautiful.

It symbolizes that the more beautiful something is, the more easily it breaks.

The mute monk is a hermit in the Ruins of Return. He was a member of the Yun family hundreds of years ago. By chance, he entered the Spirit Realm of Mountains and Seas through the Ruins of Return.

After hundreds of years of research, he understood the Great Dao runes in the Void. Just as Yun was preparing to awaken Xiang Liu, he met him. With the help of the mute monk, Yun was able to awaken Xiang Liu.

The character of the mute monk suggests that humans and the Void had a long-standing connection and did not appear suddenly.

Nicknamed Wrench, he is a human mecha repairman, a low-ranking soldier, and a friend of Yun.

He didn't want to fight; he just wanted to fix the machine and go home. When Yun decided to betray them, it was he who helped Yun modify the mecha's code, allowing Yun to escape the human base.

But precisely because of this, the exposed wrench was sentenced to death before the great human offensive.

His appearance is actually a touch of comedy and warmth in the film; he is the one who adjusts the atmosphere during the tense battle breaks and visual moments.

At the same time, it was his death that stirred the emotions of the audience.

The most important thing about a movie is that it can evoke emotions in the audience; otherwise, it's like a glass of cold water—no matter how well it's made, it's bland and tasteless.

Especially for a 3D blockbuster, if the plot is bland and uneventful, no matter how gorgeous and stunning the scenes are, it will not achieve good results.

"Slap... slap... slap"

After reading the script, Lin Bufan raised his hands and applauded.

The plot of this movie is quite exciting, but there aren't any particularly complex plot twists or reversals, so they're unnecessary.

A blockbuster doesn't need all that; all it needs is the shortest, most exciting plot.

Now, the script has perfectly grasped all of this.

"Shen Lin, make a note: each member of the group will receive a bonus of 50,000!"

Lin Bufan had promised them that now that they had perfectly completed the mission, they would naturally receive their bonus.
