Millennium director

Director Kego didn't say anything in the end. He was originally a rather indecisive person.

The reason why Wu Yuan advised him to shoot "The Promise" later was because he really had no choice.

"Painted Skin" may not be released in time for 2005. Even if it can be released, it will probably be in November or December.

He really didn't want to fight at the same time as "The Promise".

Even if it insists on being released ten days and a half before "The Promise", by the time "The Promise" is released, it will eat up a large part of the film schedule and the market.

Needless to say, although "The Promise" was criticized badly after its release, the movie did earn more than 100 million yuan at the box office!

This movie has been scolded, but the gimmick of a top-notch director + fantasy movie is still quite good.

Among the movies released in December 2005, "The Promise" sold 179 million, "The Great Sage" sold 50 million, and "Riding Alone, Thousands of Miles" sold 30 million.

All three of them are works that are hard to put into words.

If "Painted Skin" squeezes in again, even if it has a good reputation, it will probably only get a box office of about 100 million, which is really low.

Without "The Promise", "Painted Skin" might have earned more than 200 million at the box office during this period, crushing the other two movies.

There is really no way for the other two movies to compete with "Painted Skin" in the market.

The market is just so big. If "The Promise" can be fooled into being released in 2006, then "Painted Skin" will be really great.

It's a pity that this kind of thing cannot be moved by Wu Yuan in a few words. In the end, Director Kege was only a little moved.

Afterwards, Wu Yuan chatted with these great directors, arranged a sumptuous lunch for them, and began to prepare for the afternoon premiere.

It can only be described in one word.

busy!

very busy!

During the time of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Disney made all arrangements for the premiere, and Wu Yuan only had to sit in the interview booth.

This time, for the premiere of "Your Name" in China, although Wu Yuan did not arrange interviews with reporters, just receiving the guests kept him busy.

The leading actors leading the crew stood in the main hall of the National Center for the Performing Arts, listening to the noisy shouts and photos of reporters on the red carpet outside. Wu Yuan received a group of guests every five minutes.

"Professors, thank you for your hard work."

"Sister Ziyi, please come inside."

"Director Han, please come in quickly."

Group after group of guests, all well-known domestic filmmakers, were personally introduced by Wu Yuan to rest in the screening room.

Hu Ge, Liu Yifei and others who followed him did not dare to breathe.

Everyone here is a rare big star for young actors like them.

No, another big star has arrived.

Wearing a black Armani haute couture dress, Gong Li walked from the red carpet into the National Center for the Performing Arts like a noble black swan.

These days, she is the only one in China who can get Europe's top luxury brands to prepare customized dresses for her.

The International Chapter doesn’t have this qualification, so you have to find a top luxury brand to borrow it yourself.

Seeing Emperor Gong's arrival, Wu Yuan immediately stepped forward and greeted him politely: "Sister Gong Li, welcome to the premiere of my new movie."

Emperor Gong was worthy of being Emperor Gong. He exuded a grand and elegant temperament all over his body. He smiled at Wu Yuan and said lightly: "How could I not come after receiving the invitation from Director Wu?"

This is true.

Now Wu Yuan can hold a premiere and invite Gong Li and Zhang Yimou at the same time.

The two of them haven't reconciled yet, they are in a period of stiffness, and they don't appear on the same occasion.

But Wu Yuan invited them, but they all came to participate.

"You're welcome." Wu Yuan smiled and nodded. He felt a little vain when Emperor Gong said that.

And Liu Yifei, who was standing behind her, stared at Gong Li with bright eyes. This was her idol in her acting career!

Her face flushed, and her voice trembled with excitement as she said, "Hello, Teacher Gong Li, I am the actor Liu Yifei. I like your movies very much!"

She still didn't have the nerve to say the word "idol".

"Huh?" Gong Huang turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei, with a smile on his face. He looked back and forth between Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei, "You are the heroine of this movie, right?"

After seeing Liu Yifei nodding, she added: "It is very lucky for a newcomer to be cast in Director Wu's work. I hope you can seize this luck."

Perhaps he thought of something, Gong Huang's smile was a little disappointed, "Director Wu, I will go in first."

"Please."

Next, the invited guests arrived one after another, each one arousing exclamations from reporters on both sides of the red carpet outside, followed by a burst of wild filming.

Although in terms of momentum, the premiere of "Your Name" is not as good as "Hero", in terms of star brilliance, the premiere of "Your Name" far surpasses "Hero".

In particular, when the last guest arrived, the reporters outside were stunned.

"Why is Cheng Long here too?"

"Didn't you hear that Director Wu knows Cheng Long?"

"Were they contacted in Hollywood?"

"Don't worry, take pictures!"

Hundreds of reporters gathered outside all pointed their cameras at Cheng Long.

Cheng Long's influence in the Chinese entertainment industry is even more exaggerated now than it will be 20 years later.

He is currently popular in Hollywood and is now at the peak of his popularity!

Although in terms of status, he is definitely not as good as Wu Yuan in Hollywood, but he is a public star and Wu Yuan is a director.

In the eyes of many reporters at the scene, Cheng Long was definitely given a chance to attend Wu Yuan's film premiere.

But in the inner hall, the situation is different.

As soon as Cheng Long entered the inner hall, he smiled quickly and walked towards Wu Yuan, holding his hand firmly.

"Director Wu, why did everyone else invite me to the premiere of the new movie?" Cheng Long pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "If Ziyi hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it!"

Yes, he came to the premiere of "Your Name" on his own initiative.

"I'm not afraid of delaying your work." Wu Yuan smiled and hugged him: "You have so many work arrangements at home and abroad."

"Eh." Cheng Long shook his head repeatedly: "No matter how busy you are, I still have to come to the premiere of your new movie."

Cheng Long was filming "New Police Story" in Hong Kong Island. As soon as he heard that Wu Yuan had a new movie to be released, he asked for leave with the crew and flew directly to the capital.

"Please come in, please come in." Wu Yuan also had a bright smile on his face.

In any case, Cheng Long came to cheer him up, which was a very honorable thing at the moment.

Cheng Long was already the last guest to arrive. Wu Yuan, the reporters behind him, didn't care. Naturally, there were staff to arrange for them to watch the movie.

Wu Yuan took Cheng Long and the actors of the crew to the screening room.

When the guests who were already in the screening room saw Wu Yuan and Cheng Long walking in side by side, except for the four major directors, Gong Huang, and International Zhang, everyone else also exclaimed like the reporters outside.

When did Wu Yuan meet Cheng Long?

Why did Cheng Long come to support Wu Yuan?

Two questions suddenly appeared in many people's minds.

When Director Han saw the two people walking in while chatting hotly, his heart immediately became excited.

Wouldn't it be great if these two actors and directors, both well-known in Hollywood, collaborated on a mainland blockbuster?

The combined influence of these two people is probably greater than that of Zhang Yimou's "Hero"!

But how to bring two people together to work together?

Director Han became worried again.

"Come on, come on, sit down quickly." Wu Yuan didn't know that Director Han was a flirt, so he happily took Cheng Long to sit next to the four directors, which was in the second row.

On the left are the four major directors, and on the right are Gong Li and International Zhang. No one else has this kind of treatment.

After Cheng Long sat down and started communicating with Chen Kaige, Wu Yuan led the leading actors of the crew to the bottom of the screen.

A staff member handed over the microphone.

Logically speaking, this is usually the time when the creators talk about how hard and difficult it was to shoot the movie, how beautiful the movie is, and what a special and novel experience it will bring to everyone.

But Wu Yuan just didn't follow the routine.

He doesn't like to have long talks at premieres, so inviting guests to the premiere means just inviting everyone to watch a movie together.

Wu Yuan picked up the microphone and said neatly: "Thank you everyone for coming to support me and attend the premiere of "My Name"."

"This is my second commercial film in China after three years since "The Night the Comet Came."

"Hope you guys will enjoy the movie."

After saying that, he took the leading actors back to sit in the front row.

They were not even given a chance to speak.

No matter it is Hu Ge or Liu Yifei, after seeing so many top actors and directors at the premiere in a few days, they are already nervous to death, not to mention the other supporting actors, whose hands and feet are trembling with nervousness.

They really don't have the courage to talk in front of these big names.

Following Wu Yuan and quickly sitting back in the first row, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this the end of the speech?" Jiang Wen, who was sitting in the second row, said blankly, "That's so damn easy."

No one responded to him, and the lights in the theater dimmed.

The logos of Light and Shadow Times and China Film Group lit up one after another, and then the familiar dragon logo appeared on the screen.

As the dragon logo also dimmed, all the whispers fell silent, and the movie officially began.

The opening scene is a beautiful scene of a meteor shower streaking across the night sky.

Seven or eight gorgeous meteors streaked across the sky, fell onto the clouds, and then passed through the clouds and fell straight to the ground.

The camera has been following the meteorite as it passes through the clouds and then falls.

This is a picture made entirely with special effects, but it is extremely realistic.

A shot that only lasts for ten seconds is enough to attract the attention of all viewers.

There has really never been such a special effects scene in a domestic movie.

"Tsk, tsk, just these few seconds will cost millions, right?" Director Feng sighed in a low voice.

On the screen, the movie continues.

As the meteorite was about to fall to the ground, the scene suddenly stopped and fell into darkness.

The voice of the heroine Mitsuha sounded from the loudspeakers on both sides.

"When I woke up in the morning, I didn't know why I was crying."

"Things like this happen from time to time."

The screen lit up again, but it was Lin Wenjie, the male protagonist played by Hu Ge, sitting on the bed and staring blankly at a tear in the palm of his hand.

"I've obviously had dreams, but I can't always remember them."

"only."

A ray of light lit up, splitting the scene into two halves. In different bedrooms on both sides, Lin Wenjie and Sanye were sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the tears in their hands.

"I just feel like I've forgotten someone important."

The camera quickly zoomed up, the scorching sun in the distance was looming in the clouds, and the movie title written in thin gold script lit up on the screen.

"your name"

Works directed by Wu Yuan.

The movie theme song sung by Mayday sounded.

With intense pop rock accompaniment and Ashin's youthful voice, the images on the screen keep jumping.

Lin Wenjie was holding a bun in his mouth, wearing a high school uniform with a white shirt and a suit that is only available in the capital, and trotted to the bus stop.

Luo Sanye, who was wearing a classic big-pocket sports uniform, tied her hair with a red hairband and hurriedly said "I won't eat breakfast" to her grandma. Under the eyes of her sister, "It's like this again." He trotted out of the house.

On one side are modern cities filled with high-rise buildings, and on the other side are rural towns with green mountains and green waters.

Two worlds and the lives of two high school students with different situations are constantly interspersed on the screen.

No background introduction is needed. Through such a short scene, all viewers know the identity and background of the two male and female protagonists.

As the theme song gradually comes to an end, there is another freeze-frame scene where the screen is split on both sides. One of the male and female protagonists is on a high building, and the other is on the mountainside looking up at the sky.

The main film officially begins here.

"Wenjie, don't you remember?"

"My name is Sanye."

With a snap, Luo Sanye woke up from the bed and looked around the room in confusion.

Although the walls are peeling off and the wooden windows are a bit crude, there is no doubt that this is a room full of feminine atmosphere.

There was still a bit of panic on Luo Sanye's face, as if he had woken up from a nightmare, and he lowered his head and looked at his body.

"Sister, what are you doing?" My sister, who was leaning at the door at some point, asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"I'm thinking, this thing is really real." Luo Sanye replied subconsciously, then realized and pointed at himself: "Eh, me? Sister?"

"Sister, what are you talking about in your sleep?" Luo Siye shouted impatiently: "It's time to eat, get up quickly!"

"You ask me to call you every day, is there anyone like you like a sister?"

With a "dong" sound, the door was slammed shut.

There was laughter in the screening room.

Chen Kaige shook his head and laughed: "The male and female protagonists swap bodies. This setting is quite interesting."

Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the first row, heard the laughter coming from her ears, and her entire earlobes turned red.

When filming this scene, she was so embarrassed. It was really shameful to do such a thing in front of the camera teacher and Wu Yuan.

Fortunately, it seems that the audience responded well to this scene.

"Zi——"

The scene in the movie changed again, Luo Siye was frying eggs in the kitchen.

Putting the fried eggs on the dining table, she smiled and said to her sister and grandma sitting on both sides: "You can eat!"

She enthusiastically packed the rice and served it to her grandma and sister.

"Well, today is finally normal." Grandma took the rice and smiled happily.

"Yesterday was really bad." My sister said in agreement.

"Huh?" Luo Sanye, who was serving himself a meal, was stunned, "What do you mean?"

She wasn't the only one stunned.

All the guests who were watching the movie were also stunned.

what does this mean?

What happened yesterday?

Judging from the beginning, the male protagonist must have just swapped bodies with the heroine, right?

Also, why is it that after switching bodies for the first time, the male protagonist can show off the temperament of a "cook" so skillfully, and why can he communicate so well with the heroine's family?

Did we miss a plot point?

Only Wu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

I have to write three chapters today and finish the movie adaptation in one go. However, the third chapter should be released after midnight. You can watch it in one go tomorrow.
