Chapter 154: Epic
Nowadays, it is better to be an internet celebrity and do live streaming than to be an honest actor. Especially among the younger generation, few can endure the loneliness before becoming famous.
The entertainment industry is also quite demanding on actresses. Many roles are limited to young girls, but how many actors have good acting skills at such a young age? Don't they need to perform more and practice more?
But when these actresses have honed their acting skills, will they still have the opportunity to play the leading role as they get older?
Lucia has no power to change the abnormal development of the current entertainment industry. But she saw Ren Qianshui, a beautiful actress with an aesthetic that transcends nationality and race. What's rare is that she also has excellent acting skills that match her appearance.
How lucky!
"Have you finished reading it? What do you think?" Lucia looked at the other person's sparkling eyes and smiled so much that the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes flew up.
"Wow~" Ren Qianshui's thoughts seemed to still be immersed in the world full of fantasy elements that he had just seen.
"It's incredible! This is the first time I've seen a story that blends Eastern and Western mythology together. It doesn't feel out of place, but instead seems harmonious and complete, as if it were a real world!"
"Yes, this is just a corner of the world I imagined! For now, it is still mainly based on the Western mythology elements that I am familiar with. Regarding the mysterious Eastern world, this can only be regarded as a small appearance!"
From what Ren Qianshui said, Lucia seemed to want to make this subject matter into a series, and eventually perfect it into a mythological universe with a complete worldview.
Just imagining it, Ren Qianshui felt his heart boiling. If this series could really be made, not to mention the knowledge of myths and legends of various factions throughout the ancient and modern earth involved, even the presentation of the imagined mythological elements and scenes would bring the audience an ultimate visual experience, which would make it leave a strong mark in the entire history of world cinema.
During the conversation with Lucia, Ren Qianshui also had a rough guess about the role the other party wanted him to play.
There is a character named Meng in the story. She is the "person" that the male protagonist met when he fell into a coma and his will entered hell, but he took the wrong path and mistakenly entered the Eastern Underworld.
As for his situation, in the East it is usually called soul leaving the body. If he does not return to his body within the corresponding time frame, he will stay in the underworld forever, and his body in the world will die due to loss of vitality.
Meng doesn't have a lot of involvement in this story, but the description of her takes up five pages.
It can be seen that Lucia has put a lot of effort into shaping this character, and there will definitely be a special story line in the future. The fact that she suspended the entire series of projects because of this role is enough to prove this point.
In Lucia's imagination, Meng is a deity wandering in the Eastern Hell. She is mysterious and unpredictable, and her whereabouts are erratic, but she often appears on the banks of the Wangchuan River. The dead crossing the Naihe Bridge sometimes drink the Mengpo soup handed to her by Meng herself.
She is heartless, emotionless and has no memories. She follows the rules set by the Lord of Hell, but she will also wander around Hell as she pleases and tease new souls.
But few people know that she is actually Meng Po, because Meng Po has been diligently guarding the Naihe Bridge and distributing Meng Po Soup!
Ren Qianshui still prefers Lucia's setting for Meng, but there are still some flaws. For example, her title for the underworld, probably because E language is not easy to express, she said hell. There is also the title of Hell Venerable, but there is no title of Hell Venerable in the Chinese underworld mythology.
Regarding these things, expert consultants will be asked to review them, and it will not be her turn to comment.
Lucia was quite interested in this aspect. After all, she was not Chinese, and all the knowledge she knew about the Chinese mythology system came from the Internet and related books and publications.
And from today's conversation with Ren Qianshui, she could feel that the other party had quite a lot of ideas about this aspect and was quite familiar with the mythology system, not only the mythology of her own country, but also some niche mythology systems, such as Aztec mythology and the mythology system of the Aztec civilization in central Mexico. She could also talk to her about it.
This really gave Lucia the feeling of having discovered a treasure!
After this contact, Lucia had basically decided on the actor who would play Meng, and she also revealed this idea to Ren Qianshui and Zhao Zihan.
At this point, the two parties have basically reached a preliminary understanding on possible future cooperation.
However, as mentioned before, "Myth" is a huge system, and the preliminary preparations may take a long time. Ren Qianshui can still finish the work at hand in time.
But if she wants to take on this role, the current Wanqian Studio in China may not be qualified enough, and many cooperation matters will be inconvenient, so she has to find a foreign performing arts company to affiliate with, and continue to accumulate experience with Wanqian for a while!
However, Wan Qian would not sit idle. They would be responsible for some scene designs and details of the Chinese mythology system. This was also agreed with Lucia, and the other party accepted their proposal because their offer was too attractive. Even though she knew that the other party would improve their strength by more than one level because of this project, wasn't that what they had worked hard for?
Both parties were relatively satisfied with the results of the meeting, and now they would go on to complete their respective tasks.
Lucia is going to prepare for the launch of the "Myth" project, which will involve a huge amount of preparation work. She is very short on time now, but it doesn't matter, she is full of energy at this moment.
Ren Qianshui also has to go back to join the crew of "The Moon Is Not Full" immediately. As for the third season of "Hamster Escape", she will finish it first if there is time. If there is a conflict with "The Myth" at that time, she will definitely focus on the latter first.
However, Ren Qianshui estimates that it will take at least half a year to a year for "The Myth" to start filming, or perhaps even longer, and the third season of Hamster will most likely be completed.
Regarding this meeting between Ren Qianshui and Lucia, no one could have imagined that they would decide on an epic project that would influence the entire history of film in that small coffee shop.
What's more, almost no one cared about their meeting, because from director to producer, Lucia was not someone who would often appear in front of the audience, and although Ren Qianshui had a certain fame around the world, she was now in Country Y, and as long as she was willing to disguise herself, not many people would be able to recognize her.
After Ren Qianshui and his companions parted with Lucia and returned to the hotel room, Zhao Zihan could no longer hold back and screamed loudly.
