Millennium director

"Hey hey hey"

On the big pink and white bed, Liu Yifei was lying on the bedside, legs crossed, hugging the pillow and laughing weirdly.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, and then the door was opened and Liu Xiaoli walked in.

"Sissi, why did you lock yourself in the room as soon as you came back?" She looked at Liu Yifei who was lying on the bedside strangely.

"Won't you take a look at the gifts given by the friends and guests who came to celebrate your birthday today?"

In previous years, when Liu Yifei celebrated her birthday every year, what she looked forward to the most was receiving and opening gifts.

Why did she not care about the gift at all after Wu Yuan sent her back today?

He looked at Liu Yifei's slightly red face with some suspicion.

No, where did these two young men go at night? What happened again?

Will my own baby cabbage be stolen?

She was about to ask Liu Yifei about the specific situation, but Liu Yifei jumped up from the bed first.

"Yes!"

"Senior brother also gave me a gift!"

She quickly put on her slippers and trotted downstairs.

The gifts given by the guests today are all piled up in the living room on the first floor.

At a glance, Liu Yifei saw the gift box given by Wu Yuan.

She stepped forward, untied the beautifully tied bow, opened the box, and saw two smaller boxes inside the big box.

The small boxes are one big and one small. The big one is about ten centimeters wide and twenty or thirty centimeters long, while the small box is only as big as a palm.

Liu Yifei curiously picked up the small box and opened it. Inside was a very beautiful pink crystal necklace with the Tiffany logo on it.

"Tiffany's pink crystal necklace!" Liu Yifei arched her eyebrows, took the necklace out of the box with a smile, and placed it on her chest.

"Mom, look, the crystal necklace that my senior brother gave me!"

As if to show off, Liu Yifei kept showing off the brilliant crystal necklace on her hand to Liu Xiaoli who had just come downstairs.

It's beautiful, it's really beautiful, and it looks cheap.

It's not that pink crystal is valuable, but that this pink crystal necklace is inlaid with many gemstones and diamonds, which immediately increases its value.

This brought a smile to Liu Xiaoli's face.

Although it was a bit materialistic to say this, Liu Xiaoli was quite satisfied when she saw Wu Yuan was willing to give Liu Yifei such an expensive gift.

After all, my daughter is so good, she deserves to be treated like this!

"What's in the other box?" Liu Xiaoli also became curious and interested, walking up to Liu Yifei and asked.

"Let me take a look." Liu Yifei put the crystal necklace back temporarily and opened the big box out of curiosity.

After a while, the box was opened, but the contents inside made the mother and daughter very confused.

A brown thing that looked a bit like a wine bottle and a bit like a pickle jar appeared in their sight.

Liu Yifei shook the bottle curiously, "There's liquid in it! Couldn't it be a bar?"

"Why should I give you wine?" Liu Xiaoli was a little surprised.

At this time, a small card fell out of the box.

Liu Yifei picked it up and took a look, only to see a line of small words written on the piece of paper.

"This wine is brewed from the koji you personally made when filming "Your Name". There are two jars in total, one jar for you and me."

Liu Yifei's little face turned red instantly, recalling the scene when she was filming "Your Name" and the scenes in the movie.

"Didn't you say that the wine koji was thrown away during the filming?" She muttered with some dissatisfaction, "and secretly kept it to make wine."

Although she said she was disgusted, the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.

"Hey, I wonder how this wine tastes." She pouted and looked at her mother, stretching out a hand to pinch her little finger, "Just a little bit, have a taste~"

"Let's go together." Liu Xiaoli smiled heartily. She was also curious about what the wine would taste like.

The mother and daughter took the bottle of wine and went to the kitchen.

Tonight is destined to be a good night's sleep.

On the other side, Wu Yuan, who was in a relationship with Liu Yifei, did not fall into the love mood.

Although he also longed for Tiantian's love, and their relationship has been heating up rapidly since the relationship was established, he did not forget about business.

Saturday, August 30th.

Today is the day when the leader of the space agency invites Wu Yuan to meet.

Director Han personally drove the car and took Wu Yuan to the China Space Administration's headquarters in Beijing.

As a scientific research unit, and a relatively important one at that, security is naturally extremely tight.

As a result, after checking at all levels, Wu Yuancai successfully entered the space agency headquarters building, and met with the leaders of the space agency in a conference room with Director Han.

"Hey, there are so many people?" Wu Yuan was shocked as soon as he entered the door.

He thought he would only discuss the film privately with one or two leaders.

As soon as he entered the conference room, Wu Yuan saw a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him.

"Um." A leader sitting in the center said with some embarrassment: "Hello, Director Wu, everyone heard that you are going to make a movie about China Aerospace. The crowd was excited and wanted to know the details."

"You do not mind right?"

Wu Yuan was not nervous at all when facing hundreds of people at the road show. Of course he would not feel uncomfortable just because of dozens of glances. He shook his head: "It's okay."

"At first glance, you all are important scientists in our country. It is an honor for me to be able to discuss my new film together."

As for why Wu Yuan believes that these people are scientific researchers rather than administrative leaders.

Because each of them is wearing a white coat, they give people the air of a scientific researcher.

"Please take a seat." The leader in the middle invited Wu Yuan to take a seat with a smile on his face.

"Well, Director Wu, we have all read your script, and it is indeed very well written."

"A thrilling and exciting space accident. Only Hollywood directors have made this type of movie before."

"Can we in China really make a movie like this?"

The leader of the space agency asked with a worried look on his face: "It's not that I don't believe in your directing ability, Director Wu, but we in China have never made this kind of science fiction movie before."

"Can you talk to us about how you plan to make this movie?"

Wu Yuan could understand the leader's worries. The so-called concern was chaos.

The more serious I am about this film project, the more I will have all kinds of worries, uneasiness, and uncertainty.

"It's like this." Wu Yuan spread his hands and introduced in a leisurely manner: "Actually, this movie looks very complicated. It is about outer space, satellites, space stations and the like."

"But actually from a film shooting point of view, this movie is very simple to shoot, at least among science fiction blockbusters, it is relatively simple."

"The entire movie is actually a story that takes place in a "confined space" in the space field."

"In the second half of the film, there is almost only the heroine. What she will face is the infinite loneliness and fear in the human heart in the cruel cosmic environment."

"Most of the scenes inside the space station in this movie only need to be shot on the built set."

"This film is rich in color, important outer space scenes, and all space shots require the use of computer CG technology."

"In this regard, I plan to set up a special effects company specializing in post-production special effects and CG synthesis for movies."

"This company will fully utilize Hollywood's top special effects technology and equipment to create China's own special effects industry."

"Give me two years, and I'm confident that I can build a CG special effects company that's comparable to Hollywood."

There are many types of special effects in movies, and "Gravity" mainly requires the use of CG special effects technology, which is to synthesize the space scenes made by CG into the movie.

This technology is not the same as the special effects technology of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. It does not require any motion capture, facial modeling, etc., and is relatively simple.

Moreover, the application fields of CG technology are wider, and talents in this area are easier to find.

To give the most obvious example, a large number of computer games from China, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States use a large number of CG images in promotional videos and even games.

These CG modelers who make computer games can be hired to make CG scenes for movies.

As long as Wu Yuan is willing to spend money, he can indeed find a group of excellent CG modelers to create a realistic CG outer space scene in 2 years.

"Now Hollywood's special effects technology is becoming more and more advanced and leading. I think we in China need to pay attention to the development of this aspect."

Wu Yuan said with a serious expression: "I want to make the movie "Gravity" not only because I like science fiction movies, but also because I want to make China's own science fiction movies."

"It's also because movies with themes of magic and science fiction are the most suitable themes to promote the development of a country's film special effects industry."

"Our company has the "Painted Skin" series, and now we are also working on the "Gravity" series. The purpose is to cultivate our own special effects team in the mainland and prepare for the future era of Chinese blockbusters."

Yes, Wu Yuan wanted to make "Gravity" not simply because he was unhappy with Wu Baige and wanted to snipe him.

Making science fiction movies and cultivating fans of science fiction movies in the Mainland has always been something Wu Yuan has been working hard on.

He has been consciously guiding mainland movie fans to accept and become familiar with science fiction films.

The two conceptual science fiction films "The Night the Comet Came" and "The Butterfly Effect" were the weapons he used to stimulate the mainland science fiction film market.

And "Gravity" was the first year that he truly launched science fiction movies in the mainland, and was his experiment in cultivating and building his own special effects team!

Even if Wu Baige doesn't have a job like this, he still wants to make science fiction films and "Gravity", even if he doesn't make any money at the moment!

Only by investing first, spending money to cultivate his own special effects team, and cultivating his own fans of science fiction movies, Wu Yuan will reap the rewards in the future, without having to worry about the box office gains and losses of one or two movies.

If the aerospace engine is the flower of industry, it is the jewel in the crown of industry.

Then, science fiction movies are the brightest pearls in the crown of commercial movies!

It is the flower of commercial movies!

A science fiction movie blockbuster requires the support of an entire film industry system to be successful. It is a truly difficult, "high-precision" movie!

Any world-renowned top commercial film director will definitely have a masterpiece of classic science fiction movies.

If you have never made any blockbuster science fiction movies, you would be embarrassed to say that you are a top international director!

Of course Wu Yuan also wants to be such a director!

He will definitely make more series of science fiction movies in the future!

He wanted to create an era of sci-fi blockbusters for Chinese-language movies with his own hands!

There may not necessarily be three updates today, but maybe two updates, and more updates will be added tomorrow.
