Millennium director

Chapter 190 The proprietress comes to visit the Times and makes a guest appearance in "Wonderful Night at the Museum"?

In the early morning, Wu Yuan woke up on the big bed in the master bedroom of his Beverly Hills mansion.

Touching the empty bed next to him with some regret, he smashed his mouth and sighed.

The old white rabbit is watching closely beside the little white rabbit, so it's really hard to do anything.

Although she didn't guard him like a thief, Liu Xiaoli obviously wouldn't let Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan sleep in the same room in her presence.

Being able to agree not to stay in a hotel but to live directly in Wu Yuan's home already gave him enough trust.

Stretching lazily, Wu Yuan dragged on his slippers, washed briefly, and went downstairs.

When he got downstairs, he saw the mother and daughter sitting in the dining room having breakfast.

"Qian Qian, Aunt Liu, are you up so early?" Wu Yuan greeted with some surprise.

Liu Xiaoli put down her knife and fork gracefully, wiped her mouth with a tissue on the table, and then said: "I'm used to getting up early, and I can't change it even when I'm resting."

The mother and daughter usually get up at five or six in the morning, but today they sat in the restaurant for breakfast at seven o'clock, which was already relatively late.

Wu Yuan nodded in understanding, turned his head to look at Liu Yifei, and asked, "Are you still going shopping with your aunt today?"

Today is already the fifth day that Liu Yifei and her daughter have been in Los Angeles.

In the past few days, the two of them had left early and returned late almost every day. They went out early in the morning to go shopping with Liu Yifei's aunt and came back in the evening.

Wu Yuan was not suitable to be near such gatherings of women, so he had not had much time to spend alone with Liu Yifei in the past few days.

"If I don't go shopping, I can't go shopping every day." Liu Yifei chuckled, "I'll stay with you today!"

"Hey, that's a good relationship." Wu Yuan's face immediately burst into a bright smile. Just as he was about to say something else, the door outside the mansion was opened, and Daisy, wearing an OL uniform, walked into the living room.

"Boss, the car is ready and John has arrived at the company."

"All right." Wu Yuan shrugged, "Qianxi, I have to go to the company, do you want to come with me?"

"Okay." Liu Yifei agreed without hesitation.

Liu Yifei knew that Wu Yuan had a film company in Hollywood, but she didn't tell her mother, so she kept it a secret for her senior brother.

Although it seems that everyone who should know this secret already knows it.

"Director Wu still has a company in the United States?" Liu Xiaoli murmured in surprise. She was still used to calling Wu Yuan "Director Wu."

"There is a small company." Wu Yuan said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, too, right?"

"Isn't this good? Will it disturb your work?" Liu Xiaoli is not like Liu Yifei. Her first consideration is whether it will affect Wu Yuan.

"It doesn't matter." Wu Yuan said nonchalantly: "If I don't participate in the daily operations of the company, what kind of job can I have?" "

"Just in time, I'll take you around to get a feel for the range of film companies in Hollywood."

What about feeling the atmosphere? It's all nonsense.

Wu Yuan just wanted to show his strength in front of his prospective mother-in-law.

As long as you are a man, you are not immune to this.

"Okay." Liu Xiaoli nodded. She was indeed very curious about Wu Yuan's company in the United States.

Liu Xiaoli, who had no access to Director Han's level, had no idea when Wu Yuan started a company in Hollywood.

Simply being a director in Hollywood and becoming a member of the capital are two completely different concepts.

More than an hour later, Daisy drove Wu Yuan and the others to the Light Age.

After several years of development, Light Times has grown from occupying only half a floor to renting an entire floor and employing more than 100 people.

However, Light Times' business has not expanded much, and it mainly focuses on film production.

When Liu Yifei and her daughter walked into the office floor of Light Times, they saw only about 20 employees.

Well, most of the employees of Light Times are on the "Weakness" crew. It is more than enough to have more than 20 employees responsible for the administrative work of the company's daily operations.

Most of these employees are old employees. They know who their biggest boss is. When they saw Wu Yuan coming, they all came forward to say hello enthusiastically.

"Boss, you haven't been back to the company for a long time."

"Welcome back, John complains in the office every day."

"Hey, Boss, is the company still making a sequel to "The Hangover"? I love this R-rated movie so much."

Wu Yuan responded to each employee as he walked to John's office.

If John is a "big devil" in the eyes of the employees of Light Times, and he is also the most severe and fierce one, then Wu Yuan is the most amiable and approachable in the eyes of the company's employees.

Because he doesn't come to the company very often, he usually makes a fool of himself in the company. It's common for him to treat employees to coffee and give them red envelopes.

Who wouldn't like a boss who usually doesn't care about anything but treats him to drinks and food whenever he comes?

Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, who were following Wu Yuan, watched curiously as he chatted with these employees with ease, feeling a little strange in their hearts.

This should be regarded as another side of Wu Yuan besides his status as director.

"Dong dong dong."

Taking the two of them to the door of John's office, Wu Yuan knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in without waiting for a response from inside.

"oh!"

"Daniel! You are finally willing to come to the company."

As soon as he saw Wu Yuan pushing the door open, John complained with a look of resentment, "I know that "Rush Hour 3" has been finished for half a month.

"Where have you been for the past half month? Are you really not worried about the company's affairs at all?"

"Oh God! This is your company, and you are the wholly-owned owner!"

"I'm just a damn worker." Suddenly, John's complaints stopped abruptly.

He looked at Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli who came in behind Wu Yuan, and looked at Wu Yuan with great confusion, "Hey, Daniel, who are these two beautiful ladies?"

"Your family?"

Wu Yuan invited the two of them to sit down in the sofa reception area, and then took John with him, and then explained: "No, they are my future family."

He reached out and held Liu Yifei's smooth and tender hand, and introduced with a smile: "This is my girlfriend, Crystal Liu, you can just call her Crystal."

"This is her mother."

Liu Yifei, whose little hand was held by Wu Yuan, smiled sweetly, and her heart beat very fast.

This was the first time Wu Yuan introduced her as his girlfriend in front of outsiders.

This filled Liu Yifei's heart with happiness.

Although a man introduces his girlfriend to his friends, it does not necessarily mean that he really loves you.

But if he's not even willing to introduce you to his friends, then he definitely doesn't love you and just wants to have fun.

Wu Yuan's current generous behavior made Liu Yifei very satisfied, and she felt a little more secure in this relationship.

"Wow, are you in love?" John said with a surprised look on his face: "Oh my god, you are finally in love."

"If you don't find a girlfriend, I will think you are gay!"

When Wu Yuan was in the United States, although he occasionally attended some parties with John, he never took away girls at parties.

At one point, John even doubted whether Wu Yuan's sexual orientation was different, and he seriously considered organizing a party with more male models to invite Wu Yuan to attend.

Fortunately, because Wu Yuan is not based in Los Angeles, John has never really taken action.

"Oh, I'm sorry." John stretched out his hand to shake Liu Yifei's hand, and said with a smile: "Crystal, I was just joking with Daniel. We are very good friends and partners."

"Daniel is a very good man, and you are very beautiful. I'm glad you two can be together."

"You have to cherish him. There are a lot of little bitches in Hollywood who want to get him."

"I will." Liu Yifei smiled shyly and said confidently: "I believe he will not be defeated by some temptations."

Based on Liu Yifei's understanding of Wu Yuan, this man who has always been emotionally passive does not act like a playboy and is relatively innocent.

"Hey" John shook hands with Liu Xiaoli, looked at Liu Yifei carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "Crystal, maybe we have met before?"

"You look familiar. I seem to have seen you before?"

Wu Yuan had a dark look on his face. He finally understood that John was probably a little face-blind towards Asians.

"John, Crystal is the heroine in my Chinese movie "Your Name". You have seen this movie." Wu Yuan said speechlessly.

"Oh!" John slapped his thigh hard and suddenly realized: "It turns out it's you!"

"But..." He winked at Wu Yuan.

So you kid is so good at this?

Although when he met Liu Yifei, he felt that she was very young, but many Asians have baby faces. It was really difficult for John to accurately judge the age of Asians.

But as soon as Wu Yuan said "Your Name", he knew it.

John had also watched this movie and had a chat with Wu Yuan, and knew that Liu Yifei was only 16 years old at the time.

Oh, John felt like he had figured out why Wu Yuan didn't have any super-friendly relationships with the beauties at the parties when he was in the United States.

It turns out that he doesn't like the mature one and likes the green one.

"Okay, John, stop looking at me with that weird look!" Wu Yuan rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

Having known John for so long, he could already guess what John was thinking from his eyes.

"Let's get down to business. Why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

When it came to business, John couldn't help but want to complain again.

"Daniel, this is your company. "Fake Marriage" is about to be released, and "Night at the Museum" has also started filming. Don't you care at all?"

"OK, OK!" Wu Yuan spread his hands, "I know, this is really good news."

"'Fake Marriage' is the company's most important project this year. Let me guess, will Fox be responsible for the distribution?"

"Yes!" John held his forehead and sighed, and said helplessly: "Fox has mobilized 2,385 theaters to open this movie. With the success of the "Hangover" series, Fox is now willing to do better promotion for our company's movies. .”

"Both Ryan and Gwyneth are ready to run the show."

"But there is bad news. Gwyneth is pregnant again. She may not be able to participate in the release promotion frequently. This time, Ryan is the only one to lead the promotion."

"It's a good thing to be pregnant." Wu Yuan shrugged, "Then let Gwyneth rest more."

For a small-to-medium-budget romantic comedy movie like this, it doesn't matter whether the actors sell it or promote it hard.

After all, the leading actors are not top superstars with global box office appeal like Leonardo DiCaprio. They can attract countless audiences to the cinema by virtue of their fame.

"By the way, Ryan has received a new movie, the script is called "Nine Dimensions of Space", but the crew is short of money, so Ryan hopes that we can participate in investment."

"I read the script. It's a low-budget sci-fi suspense movie. It's a bit like "The Butterfly Effect." It might become a dark horse, but it's more likely that it won't make much money."

"I wanted to bet that they were short over a million dollars anyway."

"I have sent this script to your email, but you haven't replied yet. Daniel, what do you think?"

This is something.

Wu Yuan scratched his head.

He has read the script, and John's vision is indeed correct. This movie may become a dark horse, but the possibility is not high.

In fact, in his impression, there has not been a blockbuster movie called "Nine Dimensions" in North America. There is a high probability that this movie will be a hit.

But as the actual person in charge of the company, John diligently contributes to the company's development and daily operations.

Now he wanted to invest in a movie, but he only had more than one million US dollars. It would be really unkind for Wu Yuan to refuse coldly.

"Hmm" After hesitating for a while, Wu Yuan agreed: "If you think it's suitable, you can vote. I believe in your vision."

"Daniel, your trust is not wrong!" John raised his eyebrows, Wu Yuan's approval still made him very happy.

"Are you going to watch "Night at the Museum"?" John continued: "Fox actually hopes that you can make a guest appearance in this movie."

"You know, the theme of this movie is a museum, and how can there not be some puppets with Chinese characteristics in the museum?"

"Fox hopes that you can make a guest appearance on the Qin Shihuang puppet in the museum. They found a group of terracotta warriors and horses and designed a plot in which Qin Shihuang leads the terracotta warriors and horses to help the protagonist."

"Me? A guest appearance?" Wu Yuan pointed at himself in surprise, and Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to him and listening silently, also lit up. This is interesting!

John nodded matter-of-factly: "You are one of the most famous Chinese faces in Hollywood. You just have nothing to do now, so of course you are the most suitable."

"Daniel, our company is one of the producers of this movie and invested half of the money."

"Damn it." Wu Yuan laughed and cursed, "Isn't this the reason Fox used to convince you?"

"They are really good at doing business, and their ideas came to my head."

"That's not a bad idea, is it?" John said with a smile. He was indeed leaning towards Wu Yuan's agreement with science fiction.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Yuan turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei, who looked interested, nodded and said to John, "I can agree."

"But it's not just me, Crystal also has to make a cameo."

"The wise and powerful Qin Shihuang should have a beautiful concubine, right?"

From now on, just two chapters a day, three chapters a day. It’s a fixed chapter to be added every two days.
