Millennium director

Liu Yifei talked with her mother all night.

Regardless of what the two talked about later.

All in all, with Liu Yifei's strong arguments and the fact of "starring in Wu Yuan's new movie", it is indeed too tempting.

Although Liu Xiaoli was very puzzled that Wu Yuan was so "valued" about her daughter, she didn't know how she came to the conclusion that Wu Yuan was very optimistic about Liu Yifei.

But in the end she made a wise decision, rejecting Baodao's two film invitations and letting Liu Yifei go all out to win the heroine of Wu Yuan's next film!

In front of Wu Yuan's movie heroine, the two Baodao movies are really uncompetitive, unless the director is named Li Eucalyptus.

Liu Yifei also went back to school honestly, pondering the script of "Romeo and Juliet" while taking classes seriously to enrich herself.

On the other hand, Wu Yuan doesn't think the allure of the heroine in his movie will be any less than that of the two Baodao movies.

After explaining to Liu Yifei, he continued to be busy with his own affairs.

Signing up for the driver's license test, perfecting the adaptation of the "Your Name" script, and preparing to rehearse "Romeo and Juliet", there are a lot of things waiting for Wu Yuan to deal with.

At the same time, while Wu Yuan was immersed in writing the script at home, a major event that affected half the world broke out.

"Stealing Heart", which was originally scheduled to premiere in mainland China on April 6, immediately stopped its release.

Zhang Guorong, who is originally from Hong Kong Island, is well aware of the horror of this wave of epidemic, and firmly negotiates with China Film to withdraw the film.

As for when it will be released again, even Zhang Guorong himself doesn't know.

Take a look at the current situation in Beijing. Pedestrians on the road are visibly depressed, and the streets are filled with a strong smell of vinegar.

Even if people have to go out for something, everyone is fully armed, wears a mask, and consciously keeps at least 2 meters away from other people.

Under the current situation, no one has the heart to go to the cinema to watch a movie.

The mainland film industry, which had finally gained some momentum due to the huge sales of "Hero", was forced to enter a period of great depression again.

All new film crews have stopped working, and all films that have been filmed and awaiting release have been withdrawn.

All entertainment activities have been stopped, and no one has time to entertain during this special period.

In comparison, the situation in North America is much better.

Americans don't care at all about this sudden epidemic, and they don't think it will have much impact on themselves. They just keep singing and dancing.

"The Hangover" was not affected at all and is scheduled for a small-scale release on April 16.

Although the total investment of this movie is 15 million US dollars, it is still a small-budget movie in Hollywood and a comedy.

Even if Fox feels that this movie has the potential to be a hit, it will have to start with a small-scale release and gradually expand the scale of the screening.

This is true for the biological son "Juno" of the company's subsidiary, but the godson "The Hangover" can't expect to receive better treatment.

Wu Yuan doesn't have any objections. Comedies like "The Hangover" can have a siphon effect no matter which time they are released.

The original "The Hangover" was released on June 5, 2009, and took in $277 million at the box office in North America.

Even though it is 2003 now, considering that the North American film market will not grow explosively in the next five years.

How could the light-era version of "The Hangover" earn $200 million at the box office in North America?

When the time comes, the DVD distribution will be sold to Fox, and the distribution rights in other parts of the world will be sold. This movie will create a net profit of at least US$120 million for Light Times!

With this money in hand, not only the filming funds for "The Hangover 2", "Fake Marriage" and "Weakness" were secured in one step.

Wu Yuan also has spare money to buy a few properties in the capital!

As for the funding for the filming of "Your Name"?

Wu Yuan still has the share of "The Undertaker" and US$8 million from Disney!

After the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was completed, Disney settled the final payment without any delay.

Now Wu Yuan himself has a lot of money, which is definitely more than enough to film "Your Name".

Wu Yuan, who stayed at home due to the epidemic, sat under the jujube tree in his courtyard, drawing the scenes of "Your Name" and calculating happily in his heart.

【

】

My original accumulation has basically been completed, and the snowball of funds on hand has also started rolling.

In two or three years, by 2005 or 2006, he will have three to five billion US dollars on hand!

When the time comes, this money will be invested in the mainland film market.

Whether he is a film and television company, a theater chain, or taking advantage of the explosion of the Internet to enter a video website, Wu Yuan will complete a class leap, from director to capital, and become one of the helmsmen of the mainland film and television industry!

With the memory of his dream as his strength, Wu Yuan is definitely not satisfied with being just a director.

In the entertainment industry, only by becoming capital can you have the right to speak, and you are the real top of the pyramid!

The next day, although it was a special period, Wu Yuan still left the house and returned to school.

Major universities should be considered the least affected during this special period.

The students’ lives have not been disrupted and they still have to attend class and study every day.

However, the school has become more strict on students' entry and exit management. Students are not allowed to leave the school unless necessary, and semi-closed management is implemented.

Well, Wu Yuan has special privileges. He can enter and exit the school freely. Besides being a student, he is also a well-known director.

After returning to school, he went straight to the small auditorium.

Today is the weekend, the day of the first rehearsal of the play "Romeo and Juliet".

Several first-year students who were selected for this play have read their scripts countless times in the past week and have memorized them by heart.

When Wu Yuan stepped into the small auditorium, he saw Luo Jin, Zhu Yawen and others acting opposite Liu Yifei.

Then, he smelled the smell of white vinegar and isatis root floating throughout the room.

This smell is very offensive to the nose!

Wu Yuan, who knew clearly that there were rumors that smoking white vinegar and drinking isatis root could prevent infection, frowned slightly.

"Director Wu is here!"

Jiang Yiyan, who was sitting near the door, immediately saw Wu Yuan entering the door and loudly reminded other students.

The students who were acting together immediately put away their scripts, walked forward obediently, and stood in a row in front of Wu Yuan.

"Director Wu, we are all ready. We have memorized all the lines, and we can try to rehearse!" monitor Cao Zheng reported on behalf of the others.

Wu Yuan glanced at this group of new actors, looking at their nervous or apprehensive expressions, and smiled kindly: "Don't be nervous, I will give you a vaccination first."

"It's normal to make mistakes in rehearsals. Don't be afraid of making mistakes and be timid on stage."

"Don't worry, since I have chosen you, I will not replace you. No matter how bad your acting is, I can only teach you how to act through gritted teeth."

If it was still easy, it made Zhou Yang and Cao Zheng, a few of the more timid classmates, look much more relaxed and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Huh?" Wu Yuan, who was looking at these students, noticed that whether it was male students like Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen, or female students like Liu Yifei and Zhou Yang, they all held a thermos cup in their hands.

After just a moment of thinking, he understood that it was probably filled with isatis root.

Wu Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to tell them that drinking isatis root to prevent the epidemic was a rumor.

But when he was about to say the words, he thought that drinking isatis root wouldn't do any harm anyway, and it could prevent colds. Drinking more would be fine, so he closed his mouth again.

But he didn't notice that Liu Yifei, who had been watching him, saw his gaze resting on everyone's thermos cups, and also saw his expression where he was hesitant to speak.

She looked at Wu Yuan's hands with some confusion and found that he did not bring a thermos cup. Liu Yifei frowned slightly, and then realized something.

understood!

Liu Yifei's clever little mind immediately understood what Wu Yuan meant.

Senior brother was so careless that he forgot to bring isatis root and a thermos cup, and he was too embarrassed to ask for them from everyone!

The epidemic is so serious now, how can we be so careless!

Isn’t it just a pack of isatis root?

The newspapers said that you need to drink more isatis root to prevent pneumonia!

With a pouted mouth and a frown, Liu Yifei quietly took a few steps back and walked towards the backpack placed on the seat.

This thing cannot be written in depth. I deleted a relevant plot and briefly mentioned it. It should not be in the way.
