Millennium director

Chapter 236 Director Wu, look at me, I can do it too!

"Ha, Director Wu, here we come.

With a smile on his face, Cheng Long greeted Wu Yuan with his hands spread out, and gave Wu Yuan a big hug.

"Brother Cheng Long, congratulations." Wu Yuan also smiled and gave a backhand hug, congratulating: ""Rush Hour 3" has a box office of US$252 million in North America. Our Asian Kung Fu superstar has once again achieved success in North America."

"Where." Cheng Long waved his hand modestly: "If it weren't for Director Wu, how could "Rush Hour 3" have such good results."

He meant what he said.

The "Rush Hour" series has always relied on his fame alone, but when "Rush Hour 3" was released this time, his fame was not as high as it was in the previous movie, and his reputation also suffered due to several bad movies. And has been controversial.

This time, "Rush Hour 3" grossed US$76.52 million at the box office in its first three days, largely due to the addition of Will Smith and Wu Yuan.

Not to mention that there is a "Kingsman" series waiting for him after this movie. Cheng Long knows very well who he relies on to get back into Hollywood.

"Director Wu, before the movie was released, I was worried day and night because I was afraid that the audience would not buy the third movie. Fortunately, we succeeded."

Cheng Long breathed a long sigh of relief, now the "Ace Agent" series is definitely stable.

Jerry on the side also praised happily: "Daniel and Jackie, you two of China's strongest actors and directors collaborate, and you deserve success."

Although China's overall film industry is still relatively backward and the box office market is also very small, China has a large population and will still produce top talents.

This is the case in the film industry, and it is also the case in the basketball field. Yao Ming is now thriving in the NBA and has become a superstar.

"Okay, Daniel just got off the plane and must be tired. Let's take you home first and rest for two days before preparing for the press conference."

Daisy, Wu Yuan's American assistant, was already waiting in her car.

The group of people took several cars and headed to Wu Yuan's residence in Beverly Hills.

Two days later, Disney officially revealed the news that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is about to start filming, and announced two new Asian actors.

Cheng Long will play the pirate king Sao Feng who rules the South China Sea in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

Liu Yifei plays Sao Feng's daughter Vril. She is a bold, fiery, and very good pirate descendant, completely different from the style of aristocratic descendants like Elizabeth Swann.

Helpless, although Wu Yuan wanted Liu Yifei to enter Hollywood with the image of a "vase", the only thing Hollywood is more accepting of Asians, especially Chinese actors, is martial arts stars.

From Michelle Yeoh to Zhang Ziyi, they are all recognized by Hollywood because of their status as "girl hitters".

Therefore, Liu Yifei also had a lot of fighting scenes in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and she had to take over the "Chinese fighting girl" character design and become a beautiful vase beating girl.

Liu Yifei didn't mind this, but was very interested.

She quite likes filming fighting scenes and feels that they are very enjoyable because she pretends to be a little boy in her heart.

After Disney announced the addition of two Chinese actors to "Pirates of the Caribbean 3," it didn't cause too much heated discussion in North America.

Most fans are mainly concerned about the return of the three leading actors: Captain Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann and Will.

Important characters from the first two films such as Barbossa, Davy Jones, and James Norrington have also returned, and have become a hot topic among North American movie fans.

But domestically, and even across Asia, the news that Cheng Long and Liu Yifei had joined "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was like a depth bomb that shook the entire Asian film industry.

Before "Pirates of the Caribbean 3," no Asian actor could play a major role in a Hollywood movie that had invested more than $200 million.

Before this, there were only two people who had starred in Hollywood movies with an investment of over 100 million US dollars, Cheng Long and Jet Li.

Now that Cheng Long and Liu Yifei have joined the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", it is undoubtedly a very exciting thing for Asian movie fans.

The ten years from 1995 to 2005 were the ten years when Hollywood fully conquered the global film market. 6̾̾

It has been baptized by a series of Hollywood blockbusters such as "The Mummy", "Titanic", "Star Wars", "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "007", etc.

Although they don't say it, most movie fans around the world already have a high regard for "Hollywood" in their hearts.

Actors and directors all over the world want to develop in Hollywood. As long as they enter Hollywood, they have the ticket to become an "international superstar".

Cheng Long is the best example.

"Why can Liu Yifei join "Pirates of the Caribbean 3"?"

"Director Wu praises her so much? Is there really no special relationship between the two?"

"It's understandable that Cheng Long will join "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". He is also a first-line superstar in Hollywood. Why should Liu Yifei?"

"If we want to choose actresses, Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li are better than Liu Yifei, right? Director Wu must have opened a back door!"

"I haven't read the announced news. Liu Yifei is playing Cheng Long's daughter. Can Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi play Cheng Long's daughter?"

"Why not? It's okay for Zhang Ziyi to play Cheng Long's daughter at her age!"

In China, when the news that Liu Yifei joined "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" came back to China, it immediately exploded on the Internet.

Although, Liu Yifei does have a lot of fans, and the fairy sister is really good-looking.

But no matter how many fans she has, they are only a drop in the ocean compared to the fan base across the country.

The sounds of support and congratulations from her fans were quickly drowned out by the overwhelming confusion and doubts.

Liu Yifei has indeed made a splash in Japan, South Korea and even Southeast Asia with "Your Name", especially in Japan. She has released another album to consolidate her popularity, and she can barely be said to be a well-known star in Asia.

But compared with actresses like Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhang Manyu who have won awards at domestic and foreign film festivals, she is still far behind.

Even compared with Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun has at least won the Best Actress in Foreign Film Festival, and also won the Best Actress in Golden Rooster and Golden Horse!

Compared with them, Liu Yifei's qualifications are too junior, but she got a piece of cake that other domestic actors can't get.

Today's movie fans are relatively simple, not as serious as the fandom culture of later generations.

In other words, the film industry has never been affected by the fandom culture. People have always focused on awards and ability when criticizing an actor.

In the eyes of most domestic movie fans, it is unfair for Liu Yifei to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". It was a secret operation and a back door, and she must have paid an indescribable price.

Suddenly, the "Wu Yuan canary" theory that had been suppressed once again became popular on the Internet.

Fortunately, Wu Yuan had already anticipated that the news of Liu Yifei joining "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" would definitely set off a wave of public opinion in the country.

Because this matter is untenable in the first place. It is true that Wu Yuan created this character to flatter Liu Yifei. It is also true that there is no public casting talk, it is purely unofficial.

He didn't even intend to clarify the rumor of "internal appointment" and "back door", because it was not a rumor in the first place, but a fact, which was difficult to clarify.

But "Canary" still needs to clarify that the two are in a normal relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. Since they don't plan to make their relationship public for the time being, this kind of negative material still needs to be dealt with.

The method of handling it was also very simple. Wu Yuan had already discussed it with Liu Xiaoli.

Just the day after the starring list of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was announced, the domestic film and television media held a press conference and announced another news.

After her contract with the Red Star Wu Artist Agency expired, Miss Liu Yifei joined the Light and Shadow Times Media and Film Company and became the company's leading actress!

Huayi wanted to do something that even the "Kung Fu King" failed to achieve, but Wu Yuan did it.

Liu Yifei joined the Light and Shadow Era and became a contracted artist of the Light and Shadow Era!

As soon as this news came out, both industry insiders and netizens and movie fans immediately understood why Liu Yifei could join "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

It turns out that she has become Wu Yuan’s own!

These days, it is completely normal for film companies to give their own artists good roles. It is not even an unspoken rule, it is just a very upright thing.

The two Bingbings that Huayi strongly supports will be able to play important roles in movies invested by Huayi.

Wu Yuan used the role of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" as a temptation in exchange for Liu Yifei to join the Light and Shadow Era. This is a very reasonable thing!

At this time, the canary theory and the theory of being adopted were immediately suppressed.

Fans of Liu Yifei also became angry and rushed to tell each other on the Internet to celebrate!

From now on, Liu Yifei will be an actor covered by the age of light and shadow!

As the only domestic film company with a direct ticket to Hollywood, joining the age of light and shadow is equivalent to entering Hollywood!

Liu Yifei will also become a real international Liu in the future!

Although many netizens are still a little dissatisfied and aggrieved that Liu Yifei, with so little qualifications, was able to be thrust into the crew of a Hollywood blockbuster by Wu Yuan, they finally have a reason and explanation that they can understand.

We always have to work hard to support our own artists, and we cannot leave our own artists alone.

The doubts and confusion about why Liu Yifei joined "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" have come to an end for the time being on the Internet.

Now the movie fans recognized it and began to look forward to her performance in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which is the sequel to a movie that sold a billion dollars worldwide!

A Chinese actress can join the cast and play an important role, which is quite exciting for mainland movie fans. As the news gradually fermented, the voices of blessing and expectation on the Internet gradually became mainstream.

Only the domestic actresses are still feeling sour and jealous.

Why is it Liu Yifei!

I can't compare to her in that way?

Why did Director Wu treat her differently?

Did she have a lot of fun in bed?

Director Wu, look at me, I can do it too!

I don't know how many domestic actresses are trying to climb into Wu Yuan's bed like crazy at this moment. In the eyes of countless domestic actresses, he is no longer just a great director with a global reputation.

This is a piece of Tang Monk meat!
