Fenmo on Unlucky’s Starting Point and the Team’s Creative Practice (new tab)
Fenmo Morpho, interviewed by An Yu · Meiri Renwu’s official NetEase account · 2026.03.06
Read the article (new tab)Meiri RenwuFenmo explains why the team began with science fiction, a costly genre to shoot conventionally, and discusses story development, script collaboration and adapting another project to generated footage.
- This film: the team chose a genre previously difficult to shoot; Unlucky explores humans and robots in a future world.
- General practice: ask collaborators which story they want to tell, and involve multiple writers in script discussions.
- A different film: generated bamboo-forest combat suggested a Japanese ninja in Bait, leading the team to research the setting and revise the character. This is not Unlucky’s workflow.
