Chapter 189 Extraordinary Ordinary People
"From what you're saying, Tangtang, it sounds like there's some kind of mechanism that's working together to manage me?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

Without any psychological burden, Tang Yan told Chen Yuan everything Huang Shengyi had told her about letting Chen Yuan's desires grow unchecked, as well as the several countermeasures she and Fan Binbin had discussed.

The intelligence sharing, the need to be wary of any woman who gets close to Chen Yuan, the need to take more initiative to keep him in a state of sagehood for a long time, and so on, left Chen Yuan stunned.

Chen Yuan said with a wry smile, "Tangtang, shouldn't you have kept this a secret? Why did you tell me all this?"

"Hehe, so what if they say it? It doesn't matter. They're just saying it to comfort themselves anyway."

In reality, they can't control you at all, Brother Yuan, nor can they stop those slutty and shameless women from approaching you.

Tang Yan has truly come to terms with things. She's very happy with Chen Yuan, and he's a very good person. She had even fantasized before that the two of them could take things further.

However, as Chen Yuan's career grew, more and more beautiful women appeared around him, and Tang Yan realized that continuing to dwell on it would be futile.

Why not just let yourself go and be his lover, enjoying his protection and living a simple life in the entertainment industry? Wouldn't that be better?
Fan Binbin and Huang Shengyi were both very envious of Tang Yan, but that was all she felt.

Because Tang Yan understood that their one-sided love would only lead to them getting hurt.

"So, I didn't tell Yiyi about your flirting with Gao Yuanyuan."

"Yuan-ge, whatever you want to do, I'll support you."

Tangtang turned around on horseback and gently kissed his chin, revealing a lovely and charming smile. Her hazy and alluring eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, kept blinking at him.

"You, you're such a clever little vixen!"

After hearing Tangtang's words, Chen Yuan had nothing to say. Tangtang was a truly intelligent person. He hugged her tightly and spurred the horse's flanks as they walked deeper into the woods.

When I came out, my thighs, buttocks, and lower back were covered in mosquito bites. Damn it, if he ever goes into the woods again, he's a dog!

After spending so much time with Tangtang, Chen Yuan finally completed the task assigned to him by her and got his hands on "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality"!
I stayed up several nights in a row to go through this extraordinary book in my mind, and it is indeed more enjoyable to read than the old-fashioned online novels on Qidian.com.

As Chen Yuan watched, he also recalled the web series and anime adaptations of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" that he had read in his previous life, and pondered the direction of the TV series adaptation.

In my past life, I only skimmed through it once, and then I went to read other online novels.

But now, from the perspective of a film and television creator, Chen Yuan has discovered some reasons why the adaptation of "Ordinary People" became a huge hit, which he had never noticed before.

The novel will devote a significant portion to describing how Han Li prepares materials, refines pills, sets up magic arrays, and meditates to practice his skills. A breakthrough to a new realm will require dozens of chapters to describe the preparation work.

In my past life, I thought the pace was slow and drawn-out, but it provided a lot of material for film and television adaptations.

Han Li would attend markets, trade fairs, and auctions almost every time he went to a new place.

Although the items traded and the plot developments differ each time, the pattern is similar, raising suspicions of formulaic padding. However, it is precisely these detailed descriptions that establish the core appeal of the "mortal flow" genre.

It emphasizes the realism of the process and the importance of resource accumulation. Cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight; behind every advancement lies countless hours of hard work, careful planning, and fierce competition for resources.

If these elements are omitted, the word "mortal" loses its essence.

The sense of immersion that ordinary people experience when reading text is far inferior to that of television and film. The tediousness, length, and slow pace of novels can be easily transformed into film and television adaptations, and many of these shortcomings will no longer be considered shortcomings.

The Human Realm Arc is the starting point of the story and the most classic and well-known part of the previous life. It tells the story of how Han Li went from an ordinary mortal to a cultivator and eventually became a top being in the human realm.

Just these first five volumes, with over 1,200 chapters in the human realm arc, Chen Yuan doesn't even know if 100 episodes of a 45-minute TV series would be enough to film them.

If the social structure and worldview of the mortal world were described in more detail, the character settings and stories of the supporting characters were enriched, and the interactions between Han Laomo and the female characters were depicted in greater depth, it could easily be made into 200 episodes.

Based on 30 episodes per season, the Human Realm arc alone could be filmed for 6 to 7 seasons!
Given the current creative capabilities of the metaverse, if we avoid shoddy productions and strive for the quality of high-quality dramas, we can achieve one season per year.

After filming the Human Realm arc, this is just the beginning of the "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" world. Who knows how many more episodes the Spirit Realm and Immortal Realm arcs will be filmed?

Special effects and set props for live-action dramas are indeed a considerable challenge. To capture the fantastical beauty of the cultivation world and the extraordinary battles between cultivators, a significant amount of money is required.

But money is not a problem. Chen Yuan had previously invested in Tencent, acquiring a single-digit percentage of shares, so he would never lack production costs again.

It wasn't that Chen Yuan was a die-hard fan of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" and insisted on pursuing perfection regardless of cost; rather, it was to effectively train the special effects team within the Yuan Universe.

Currently, the Metaverse visual effects department has received many visual effects production orders for domestic film and television works.
But to be honest, these are basically all low-skilled jobs, purely manual labor, with little innovation or pressure.

Even if Zhang Yimou were to release 10 or 20 more "Hero" films, or even "House of Flying Daggers," it wouldn't significantly boost the Chinese film industry.

In the film "The Edge Walker," Chen Yuan led more than 100 Chinese people to participate in the project. Even though they were not involved in the core work, it still had a strong impact on the old and rigid domestic film industry.

China Film Group is planning to launch several large-scale projects with production costs exceeding 5000 million yuan, and the team includes many people with experience from the "The Edge Walker" project.

Chen Yuan decided to develop "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" into China's "A Song of Ice and Fire," allowing foreigners to experience Chinese online novels and the culture of cultivation in advance.

The level of film and television special effects production can only be improved and developed in high-difficulty and large-scale projects.

Once it matures, Chen Yuan could also learn from Japanese anime and produce theatrical versions of long-running IPs like "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality."
If a standalone chapter from the novel, or some original plot elements, were made into a theatrical film and released in theaters, the box office performance would likely be quite impressive.

When the domestic film market is able to accommodate truly big-budget films in the future, and the Metaverse has cultivated talent, technology, market presence, and reputation, it will be able to put up a strong fight.
