Millennium director

End of June.

Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei and their assistants and flew back to China from Los Angeles in a very low-key manner.

However, no matter how low-key he is, the news that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has been finalized has long spread among domestic paparazzi groups, and there are a large number of paparazzi hanging around the capital every day.

As soon as he and Liu Yifei showed up at the airport, they were spotted by the paparazzi, who rushed to take photos and scrambled for interviews.

"Director Wu, did the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" go smoothly? There are rumors that Depp acted like a big star on the set and slapped the crew. Is this true?"

"Yifei, can you tell us about your role in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3"? Will there be any fighting scenes?"

"Director Wu, why did you and Liu Yifei take the same flight back to China? Are you in a relationship?"

"Is it convenient to reveal Yifei's upcoming work arrangements? There are rumors that Huayi and the United States would like to invite you to star in the movie "The King of Kung Fu". Is this true?"

Paparazzi reporters and entertainment editors from all walks of life gathered around the two of them, constantly asking various questions.

However, both Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei responded in silence, with no intention of answering. They buried their heads and walked all the way out of the airport under the protection of their assistants.

"Thank you fellow journalists for your concern."

"Director Wu and Yifei are very tired after a long journey. We ask for your understanding."

"As for taking the same flight, Yifei and Director Wu work for the same company, and they filmed "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" together. It is normal for them to return to China together. Please do not over-interpret it."

Wu Yuan's assistant Xiao Zhang has been trained after working as his assistant for several years, and he can handle these reporters with ease.

Soon, with reporters chasing and intercepting them, the two got into the nanny car that came to pick them up and left the airport, leaving a group of reporters who didn't ask anything to talk about the car's exhaust fumes.

"Sissi, are you tired?"

In the car, Liu Xiaoli, who came to pick up the two of them, looked at her daughter with a concerned look on her face, took her daughter's hand and caressed her lovingly.

This time for the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", because I was going with Wu Yuan, Liu Xiaoli did not go with me.

But Liu Yifei also talked to her frequently, and Liu Xiaoli also knew that it was very hard for her to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which was almost the same as when she was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

I remember that when filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liu Yifei's body was full of scars, and she had to be massaged and relaxed by a specialized masseur every day after filming, so that she could fall asleep.

Even after several years, Liu Xiaoli still has lingering fears.

"You're not injured, are you?"

"How could it be?" Liu Yifei smiled and waved her hand, "How could you be willing to let me get hurt when my senior brother is watching?"

"Mom, don't worry, you're not too tired and I'm in good health."

"That's good." Liu Xiaoli felt relieved and had time to pay attention to her prospective son-in-law, "Xiao Yuan, you have worked hard too."

"It must be very tiring to shoot this kind of Hollywood blockbuster. There are thousands of people on the crew and you have to coordinate it."

"Can you have a good rest after returning home this time?"

As the mother-in-law-to-be, Liu Xiaoli now has a pretty clear understanding of Wu Yuan's work situation. She knows that in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, he has always only been responsible for shooting, and does not have to worry about post-production special effects and editing.

After the crew wrapped filming, he was basically fine.

Liu Xiaoli was also afraid that her son-in-law would be too tired. Even though Wu Yuan was young, he still couldn't do it well.

She has a son-in-law and half a son, and Liu Yifei is an only daughter. As her relationship with Wu Yuan is stable, Liu Xiaoli also hopes that Wu Yuan will be healthy and not be too tired.

"It's okay. I'm pretty relaxed. I just sit behind the monitor and watch the actors filming. It's not very tiring." Wu Yuan shook his head with a smile and accepted his mother-in-law's kindness.

"Mom, Senior Brother is like an uncle on the set. Sitting behind the monitor, he either shouts "Ka" or "Pass". When he sees an actor not performing well, he scolds him. He is not working hard. "

Liu Yifei snorted proudly and teased her boyfriend without hesitation.

Now that my mother cares about more than just herself, this change is still a bit unaccustomed to her.

Wu Yuan did not make trouble with her, and asked Liu Xiaoli with a smile: "Auntie, how is my house? Is everything going well?"

Before going abroad, Wu Yuan asked Liu Xiaoli to help him keep an eye on the decoration of the new house he bought in the capital.

Since 2002, Wu Yuan has been thinking about buying a new house and no longer wants to live in his courtyard house.

It's just that various things are dragging on, and the capital has become a big construction site due to the Olympic Games in recent years.

So it wasn't until last year that Wu Yuan finally got two new houses.

One set is located in the Xishan villa area with three mountains and five gardens, known as the "Royal Section". The irreplaceable natural landscape, the history of the royal gardens, and special planning restrictions have given the Xishan residences the "aristocratic" label.

A single-family villa covers an area of ​​a little more than two acres near the lake, which is about less than 1,500 square meters. The entire villa plus the basement has five floors, with a construction area of ​​500 square meters and a usable area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters.

It's more like a manor than a villa. Two-thirds of the land is a garden, and there's even an artificial lake and fountain in the middle.

This villa alone cost Wu Yuan nine figures of RMB to acquire.

This is still a profit, and in ten years the value will at least double or triple.

However, Wu Yuan bought this villa more as an investment, or when he and Liu Yifei get married and have children in the future, plus Liu Xiaoli, it will be more suitable for a family to live in.

It was too big for him to live alone.

What he mainly plans to use as his new home is another house.

This house is located on Dongsihuan North Road, Chaoyang, on the east bank of Chaoyang Park, in Dongshan Villa in the core area of ​​the city.

Dongshan Villa was built and opened in 2005, with a total of 155 households occupying an area of ​​1 million square meters.

The overall planning of the community is divided into 11 large peninsula groups, with 155 single-family villas dotted among forests, rivers, lakes and valleys. With 800,000 square meters of green area, 45,000 square meters of water surface, and a low floor area ratio of 0.32, it creates a natural miracle in the city .

Although it is in the city center like Chaoyang, the most prosperous area in the capital, the environment is beautiful. By the side of a bend of lake, you can't feel a trace of the hustle and bustle of the city.

Wu Yuan bought the largest unit of 1,150 square meters. The opening price was more than 20,000 yuan per square meter, but by the time he bought it, it had risen to more than 30,000 yuan. Including the cost of redecoration, it cost him a total of 48 million.

This is not a loss at all. Dongshan Villa, as the number one luxury residential area in Beijing, has seen its value increase even more in ten years. The listing price of second-hand houses has reached as high as 250 million yuan.

This house is located in the city center and is smaller. Wu Yuan plans to live here often in the future.

There is no need to worry about any reporters or paparazzi in this first-class high-end villa area in the capital. The people who can live here are either rich or noble, and they are the top group of the social pyramid. Journalists and paparazzi do not dare to mess around.

Unlike his courtyard house, there are people coming and going all around.

When the time comes, Liu Yifei can also move to Dongshan Villa together and build a love nest together.

As for the mother-in-law, she and her daughter have been dependent on each other for so many years. It is estimated that even if they get married in the future, they will live together. It is impossible for mother and daughter to really be separated.

Fortunately, the houses Wu Yuan bought are very large. As long as they don't live on the same floor, the privacy between them is still very high. Living with the elders will not affect the couple's life as a couple.

It is also because of this that before Wu Yuan went to the United States, he directly handed over these two houses to Liu Xiaoli and asked her to help oversee the decoration. At the same time, he also asked his mother-in-law to decorate them according to Liu Yifei's and her own favorite style, so that she The two of us will live happily ever after.

As for Wu Yuan himself, he has no special interest in house decoration. He is happy as long as he lives in a mansion.

“The renovations on both houses are almost complete.”

Liu Xiaoli said softly: "The apartment in Xishan is relatively large, and there are still some finishing touches. It may not be possible to move in before the end of the year."

"You can move in at Dongshan Villa this month."

"Just right." Wu Yuan smiled and clapped his hands: "Then we can prepare to move."

"Auntie, it's not the same thing that you and Sissi have been living in Shunyi. Let's move to Dongshan Villa together."

Liu Yifei pouted and hummed: "I won't move in with you. Girls need to know how to be reserved. How can they live with men casually?"

Hey, Wu Yuan chuckled and hugged Liu Yifei: "It's not up to you. You, the Wu family's daughter-in-law, are determined to live with me sooner or later."

"Huh, you didn't even ask for marriage but you thought I was your wife. Why are you so good at dreaming?" Liu Yifei feigned disgust and poked Wu Yuan's cheek: "Shameless!"

But she didn't refuse anymore.

For celebrity and artist couples, it is normal to spend less time together and more time apart. Most celebrity couples break up because they are too busy at work and cannot see each other more than a few times a year.

Of course Liu Yifei doesn't want her and Wu Yuan to come to this point, so living together is the best way to enhance their relationship.

Moreover, it is more convenient to live together. After all, both of them are so famous that it is difficult to date normally. Most of the time they are alone can only be at home. Rather than running back and forth between two homes to hide from the paparazzi, it is better to live together.

Liu Xiaoli on the side looked at the two arguing with a smile and had no objection.

She is actually very open-minded about this aspect. Anyway, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei have already done what they should and should not do. There is not much difference between them living together or not.

On the contrary, if they live together, she can keep an eye on them nearby. After all, they are both young people.

Moreover, Dongshan Villa does have a high security level and strong privacy. Living here together will reduce the risk of the relationship being exposed.

"Okay, it's settled." Wu Yuan said with anticipation: "I'll send you and your aunt home first. You can rest first, and we'll pack up and prepare to move in a few days!"

"We will have a housewarming party then and invite all our friends from the industry to have a fun time. Speaking of which, I haven't seen brother Xun and Kuner for a long time."
