Millennium director

Do you want to complete "Hunting"?

Wu Yuan actually thought about this issue two years ago.

At first he was quite interested in the movie.

After all, it was a film that was shortlisted for the Palme d'Or and won the Cannes Best Actor award.

But after filming "Li Wen" and winning the Golden Lion, Wu Yuan was no longer so eager for the three major European awards.

Moreover, times have also changed. Nowadays, the mainland film industry has become more and more focused on box office.

Those directors who used to rely on artistic films to make a big impact have either switched to commercial routes or gradually become less popular.

Wu Yuan's schedule for the next one or two years is pretty much scheduled. He will take a break this year. He will shoot a Chinese commercial film in the first half of each year and start working on "The Martian" in the second half of the year. There is no time to make another literary film to compete for awards.

"Hunting" is good, but it is destined to have no fate with Wu Yuan.

After figuring this out, he didn't worry about it anymore and happily took Mads Mikkelsen and Anne Hathaway back to his big villa in Shunyi to rest.

While they were resting, the news that Wu Yuan and the three leading actors from the "Interstellar" crew landed in Beijing quickly spread on the Internet.

From China to North America and then to Europe, countless pairs of eyes are now staring at the crew of "Interstellar".

Although the box office potential of "Interstellar" in North America is gradually coming to an end, the total North American box office barely reached 480 million U.S. dollars. It is estimated that the film should be able to cross the 500 million U.S. dollar threshold before it is completely released.

But after September, the large-scale global release of "Interstellar" began.

Because it does not involve any religious elements, and there are no pornographic scenes, it can be called "Interstellar" for all ages, and it is a film that can easily pass censorship around the world.

From South America to Asia to the Middle East, Western Europe, Southern Europe, and even South Africa and North Africa, countries have begun to release this film on a large scale.

Although the film market in a single country is not large, when combined, it can compete with the North American market. Adding up other overseas markets except North America, it is no problem to contribute a box office of US$100 million a week.

With the large-scale release in various places, the attention of "Interstellar" has also shifted from online to offline. Every day, fans from all over the world enter the cinema to watch this movie, and at the same time pay attention to the starring and directors of "Interstellar" every move.

The news that the lead actor of "Interstellar" has arrived in Beijing and will hold a premiere in China quickly spread among the fans who are paying attention to the movie.

Movie fans in Europe, South America and Asia are naturally jealous. They also really want the "Interstellar" crew to come to their countries to hold the premiere.

To a certain extent, where a movie premieres shows where it gets more attention!

Everyone wants to be valued rather than ignored.

The UK is the most promising country to host the premiere of "Interstellar", and many British netizens expressed their anger on the Internet!

In the past, most Hollywood movies, as long as they were to be released on a large scale around the world, would definitely have one premiere in North America and one in London.

Sometimes the premiere in London is earlier than in North America.

For example, "Inception" had its premiere in London.

All three of Wu Yuan's "Pirates of the Caribbean" films had their premieres in London.

Not to mention "Harry Potter", a blockbuster film based on a British novel.

But when it comes to "Interstellar", London has been abandoned. Apart from a North American premiere, "Interstellar" is preparing to premiere in China, and there is no preparation for a premiere in London.

It is certainly impossible to say that the majority of London people have no opinions.

In the past, Hollywood blockbusters held their premieres in London, but "Interstellar" no longer held them, and instead went to China, which made them lose face.

Even if you do it in both China and London, like in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", wouldn't everyone be happy?

Unfortunately, this time "Interstellar" was invested by Light Times. Wu Yuan, a lazy man, was really too lazy to hold three premieres. He also thought it was a waste to hold one premiere each in Europe and North America.

Of all the famous actors in the British entertainment industry, which one doesn't work in Hollywood?

All the guests can be invited to one premiere, so there is no need to split it into two. When he held the premiere in Los Angeles, he invited many well-known people from the British film industry.

Some British netizens flooded Wu Yuan's Facebook account to leave comments, asking why he didn't go to London to hold the premiere. Wu Yuan didn't see it at all.

The only social platform account he registered was because of the earthquake the year before last, so he applied for an account online to thank his Hollywood friends who extended a helping hand and called on everyone to donate for disaster relief.

Since then, Wu Yuan has rarely used this account. He occasionally uses a small account to browse Twitter or domestic Weibo. He is not interested in the real-name system for surfing the Internet, and has no intention of "doing business."

Therefore, he basically cannot read the messages left by netizens.

The next day, with Liu Yifei, Anne Hathaway and Mads Mikkelsen, the four of them happily went to record the "Chinese Film Report" program of CCTV Film Channel.

This program has almost become a must-do process for Wu Yuan to promote his movies.

He has brought Gong Li and Wang Xueqi to the show, he has brought Li Xuejian to the show, he has also been here with Zhang Guorong, and Zhou Xun and Chen Kun have also been here. Even the last time he promoted "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", he also brought Captain Jack Sparrow. The trio has been here before, and it can be said that they are familiar with the road and the driving is easy.

However, when he arrived at CCTV, before recording the program, Wu Yuan first met an old friend who was quite unexpected.

"Director Han, what are you doing?" In the CCTV lounge, Wu Yuan was confused and surprised when he saw Han Sanping entering through the door.

"Haha, Director Wu, I came here specifically to see you." Han Sanping laughed three times and patted Wu Yuan on the shoulder: "As soon as I heard that you were coming to CCTV to record a program today, I came to squat on you early in the morning. ”

"Harm!" Wu Yuan talked about the Beijing movie that he hadn't talked about for a long time, and said affectionately: "Director Han, if you have anything to do, just call and tell me, then I will definitely take the initiative to visit you."

Wu Yuan still has great respect for Han Sanping, an old senior who helped and even supported him when he started.

Although even without Han Sanping's help, Wu Yuan believed that he would be able to succeed because he had two lifetimes of memory, but it would definitely not be so smooth.

"Hey, you're a busy man right now. How dare I delay your work." Han Sanping shook his head and said with a smile, "Anyway, I, an old man, have been relatively free recently."

"What's the matter that requires you to come to me in person?" Wu Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Director Wu." Han Sanping took a few steps closer, with a proud look on his face, and asked in a lowered voice, "Have you seen "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" that I filmed last year?"

"This year, China Film Group plans to make a gift film to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Party."

"Are you interested in helping?" (End of Chapter)
