Chapter 329 -308: Yu Dynasty (Extra update from Feather)”_1

First, let’s talk about “Life of Pi.”

This film is adapted from a best-selling novel by an Earth author.

This novel not only won the Man Booker Prize, but also stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year!

A best-seller indeed.

The film adaptation, from preparation to shooting, took several years.

Even with Blue Star’s advanced industry technology, which could significantly shorten this time, it was impossible for this film to be completed and released as quickly as Lin Yuan’s previous two films.

Now about the film’s achievements…

A top masterpiece nominated for eleven Academy Awards!

Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Director for this film.

In addition, the film also took home the Oscars for Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score, and Best Cinematography.

Four words can sum it up:

Horrifyingly great.

The casting process for the role of young Pi in the original film took about six months. Director Ang Lee arranged for three rounds of auditions, ultimately narrowing it down to twelve candidates, and had to perform screen tests with each child individually.

This is something that Lin Yuan cannot cheat.

He too must choose his cast very carefully.

Because the lead male role is too difficult to cast!

And that’s just one of many challenges.

Choosing a director is another big problem.

Lin Yuan is certain that this film is not something that a novice director could handle!

It’s like some high octave songs, certain people just do not have the ability to perform them.

Even with Lin’s script description, it would not be easy for director Yi Chenggong to shoot the words into the same practical effect.

The only way for Yi Chenggong to successfully direct would be to use a vast amount of system props to enhance his directing abilities.

Two words: burning money!

Not to mention the top-level demands of this film on various departments, including photography-

And the movie investment!

Another challenge for which the system has a solution is the problem of script adaptation.

The movie involves a variety of beliefs and religions. If Lin Yuan had to adapt it himself, he would probably go blind.

Furthermore…

The extensive special effects and preparation required for the film are also terrifyingly astonishing.

Shooting an entire movie in front of a green screen is obviously a major hassle.

So Lin Yuan is sure that he can’t make this movie!

At least not in the short term. He can’t shoot now and will have to hand over the script to the company and give them plenty of time to prepare.

“After selecting the roles, we would have to arrange for the lead actor to learn to swim… It would be a bit easier if the lead actor already knew how to swim. Besides, the crew would also need to experience the vast ocean waves… That’s something many people have never experienced in their lives, how can you shoot something honestly if you haven’t experienced it…”

Damn.

The more he thought about it, the more difficult it seemed.

There was no way the film could be completed within this year.

The system only charged thirty million for a script like this, one could say it was a noble act.

It seems the system is very clear about how difficult this film would be to make, which is why the price has been lowered. Mediocre participation would only waste a good script.

The quality of this script is much higher than that of “The Sound Engineer”!

“Let’s start preparing for it first.”

Lin Yuan had an idea. This movie would need at least until next year to start shooting.

That was too long.

He wanted to order another script from the system.

A script that could be filmed right now and wouldn’t be so taxing.

Preferably one that could be finished before starting on “Life of Pi”.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to touch a new film for at least a year. That didn’t suit Lin Yuan’s character. Big productions need to be filmed, but so do films with smaller budgets and lower difficulty levels. After all, the criteria for judging the quality of a film shouldn’t just be based on investment and spectacle.

On a side note.

With the achievement of “Life of Pi,” Ang Lee can almost be considered the top director in the Celestial Dynasty, far ahead of the national teacher.

By the way to explain, Ang Lee holds a green card, but hasn’t joined this nation’s citizenship, a fact which sparked controversy.

The System has thrown a very difficult problem at me.

This is the greatest test Lin Yuan has faced since entering the film industry.

So, Lin Yuan is both happy and depressed.

Getting such a good script but unable to instantly make the film is truly difficult.

…

Lin Yuan is distressed, but the shock he has brought to the outside world has not ended.

It still has to with Xue Liang and Feng Shuo’s songs entering the top ten of the season’s chart.

The industry is fervently debating if Xue Liang and Feng Shuo, being Lin Yuan’s disciples, truly result from Lin Yuan teaching them with genuine materials—he has delved in deeply.

After all, a similar situation has never occurred before.

Common knowledge tells us that to become a top-notch composer by education is almost impossible—you need innate talent.

However, as they dug more into it, many things became clear.

“I found songs Xue Liang, also known as Carp, composed early on in Qi Continent. It seems someone has also dug this up before…Saying his early works were harsh to the ears would be an exaggeration, but before he met Lin Yuan, Xue Liang’s music composing level wasn’t too good!”

“So, Xue Liang really was taught step by step by Lin Yuan to become a top-notch composer?”

“Not only Xue Liang, but also Feng Shuo. Feng Shuo’s debut work was startling, his talent is evident, but before he became Lin Yuan’s disciple, he had only published four songs, of which only one was stunning — the other three were relatively ordinary, simply proving he has innate talent.”

“Do you mean, Lin Yuan unearthed Feng Shuo’s talent?”

“Currently it seems, Xue Liang and Feng Shuo, also known as Carp and Stingray, were indeed trained to be top-notch record producers by Lin Yuan!”

“Both disciples are so impressive that we can’t help but wonder — at what level is Lin Yuan’s music composing ability?”

“There’s only one level, that is, Maestro, and Lin Yuan has also harnessed the teaching ability that other Maestros lack!”

“I think it’s only a matter of time before Lin Yuan becomes Maestro, just like his two disciples. Though they haven’t yet reached the benchmark for top notch composers due to lack of work, their skills are sufficient. All they need to do is publish a few more songs to increase their sales.”

“…”

Crash! Bang!

The sound of common sense getting completely shattered!

It turns out a top-notch composer can be taught!

Because Carp Xue Liang is a living example.

You could argue that Feng Shuo had a high level of natural talent, making it easy for him to learn, but Xue Liang’s previous songs, no matter how you listen to them, didn’t seem to indicate any significant talent!

Without Lin Yuan, Xue Liang might never have been recognized by the music circle under the alias Carp!

In the face of these discussions, Lin Yuan is unlikely to respond personally.

But Feng Shuo certainly loves the attention.

He released a statement directly via the tribe: “Everyone in the circle is trying to dig up mine and my senior’s past. It’s pointless. As the parties in question, we tell you: our skills were taught to us by our master. Besides, I would like to say, our master is the best in the world!”

Not long after this statement was issued, Feng Shuo came out with another one:

“If anyone is still not convinced, wait for our little junior sister to shine. Our little junior sister is learning how to compose from our master, and she will also surely take her place on the season’s chart in the future!”

When the second statement was released, the entire industry was flabbergasted.

There’s another “fish” not yet revealed?

No, not that.

Lin Yuan… has another disciple who hasn’t debuted?

If Lin Yuan’s third disciple also formally debuts and reaches the high levels of her two senior brothers, how terrifying that would be!

A Dynasty of Fish!?

No composer in history has ever accomplished such a feat, teaching two disciples to the level of Gold Record Producers! How terrifying would it be if there’s another one?

Hiss.

Some people drew in a sharp breath, almost not daring to imagine further.

Later on.

Some people considered this as the early symptoms of the collective fear-of-fish syndrome affecting the Blue Star music circle.
