Can Trilogy of the Gods be regarded as the representative work of China's mythological universe?

The Trilogy of Gods, written by director Wu Ershan, is the first trilogy of China. It attracts people's reverie with its great world outlook. The trilogy was launched in June, 20 14, entered the preparatory stage in September, 20 16, and auditioned the leading role in the world in February, 20 17. The film is planned to be shot in 2065 438+08-2065 438+09, and is tentatively scheduled to be released in 2020-2022. The investment in film production is as high as $3 billion.

In addition to the production time and investment, the team involved in the project behind the scenes is also very "amazing". Jiang Zhiqiang is the producer, and Barry M. Barry M.Osborne is a senior Hollywood producer who helped Peter Jackson write the The Lord of the Rings trilogy as a production consultant. In terms of scriptwriting, Ran Ping and Jia-nan Ran, who have cooperated with director Wu Ershan, will continue to write the trilogy of the gods in The Painted Skin II, and invite playwright Reid and James Shamsu, a senior partner who has directed Ang Lee for many years, as script consultants. Visual aspect: artistic director Ye Jintian, photography director Wang Yu and special effects director Douglas Hans Smith.

Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, and Chinese civilization lasted for five thousand years. The mythical theme China is rich in content. However, there are not many successful cases of China's fairy tales. The theme of Journey to the West is widely used and is in danger of over-exploitation. Other developments, such as the legend of the gods and Zhong Kui, are facing the embarrassing situation of failure.

We will wait and see what kind of film The Gods Trilogy will be. I hope the directors and actors can present us with a perfect classic of China myths and legends. As the first three continuous shooting films in China, they will try their best to reproduce the magnificent war scenes, restore the magnificent imagination for 3,000 years, and create a mythical epic masterpiece belonging to China people.
