Millennium director

Compared with those popular actors who only have one day off a year, or even all year round, Liu Yifei's work as an actor is relatively easy.

Since joining the industry, she has basically maintained a rhythm of working half of the year and taking half a year off.

Occasionally, when I shoot two movies in a row, there is at least a two-month break in between.

In her words, joining the cast frequently will not improve her acting skills. On the contrary, due to the lack of enough time to recharge and understand the script, the works produced will become more and more ordinary, and the acting performance will become more and more mediocre.

The rhythm of one movie a year can better allow her to recharge herself when she is not filming, and at the same time, she can better study the script and make more preparations for the next filming, which will bring the best results. good performance.

On the contrary to Liu Yifei, there are people like Yang Mi who not only work all year round, but also sometimes do dramas.

As a director, I definitely appreciate the first type of actors more.

As a capital, you will appreciate the second type of actors.

It’s hard to tell who is the better or the worse of these two types of actors, they are just two different ways of working.

As for Wu Yuan, who is both a capitalist and a director, his bottom line is even more flexible.

When companies sign artists, he prefers signings that can make money.

But when choosing actors for his own movie shooting, he prefers actors like Liu Yifei who have more attitude and bottom line in acting.

"Strictly speaking, it's not a seamless entry into the group." Wu Yuan joked, "You still have three days to rest."

"The crew will start shooting in three days."

The preparations for "Love Letter" have been completed long ago.

During the filming of "Young You", Wu Yuan went to Shanghai for a field trip and quickly found an old bungalow that he was very satisfied with. It had been preserved since the Republic of China and served as the main theme of "Love Letter". Filming locations.

As soon as he heard that the great director Wu Yuan wanted to rent it for filming, the owner of this bungalow agreed without hesitation.

The family has long since moved to a large flat in the city center. This old bungalow is only used as an ancestral home for regular maintenance, so lending it to the crew for filming is not a problem at all.

After settling the shooting location, "Love Letter" can be started at any time.

Because this movie is so simple that it only requires a villa, an old street of the Republic of China, and three or five main actors.

Romance movies, especially low-budget romance movies, are like this. They are just a short story between three or five people. What is important is the storyline, not the gorgeous special effects and big scenes.

Wu Yuan, who has been filming "big scene" movies for several years, can now regain a little bit of the feeling he had when filming "The Night the Comet Came", which also made him quite interesting.

Within the General Administration, a movie called "Love Letter" has also been quietly filed.

Originally, the filing for this film could be said to be quiet, with no one paying attention at all.

Just after the General Administration routinely announced the monthly movie news, some reporters and senior movie fans who followed the General Administration website soon discovered this "unremarkable" movie.

"Movie Category: Story Films"

"Registration project number: Film and Drama Registration [2011] No. 122"

"Title: "Love Letter (tentative title)""

"Registration unit: Beijing Light and Shadow Times Film Co., Ltd."

"Screenwriter: Wu Yuan"

"Result of registration: consent to filming"

"Registration place: Beijing"

"Summary: Li Ang, a young man in the 21st century, accidentally discovered a love letter from 85 years ago in an antique table he purchased. Being mischievous, he responded to this love letter from the last century with ink and stamps. Unexpectedly, a love affair arose from across generations.”

This new film in the era of light and shadow, which was filed in a low-key manner, quickly attracted the attention of both insiders and outsiders.

Without him, the name of Wu Yuan is written in the "Screenwriter" column of this movie.

Although the scripts written by Wu Yuan may not always be directed by him, every movie written by Wu Yuan is a best-selling movie in the era of light and shadow.

His screenwriting skills are recognized as top-notch both inside and outside the industry!

Any movie written by Wu Yuan will attract much attention.

More importantly, I don’t know where the gossip came from, saying that Wu Yuan will direct this "Love Letter" himself, and it will be his new film returning to the mainland!

Regardless of whether this news is true or false, after it spread quickly on the Internet, it disappointed countless movie fans who had been looking forward to Wu Yuan's new Chinese film.

"This movie looks like a love movie at first glance!"

"Director Wu has personally promoted IMAX 3D movies. Last year's "Avatar" and "Interstellar" directly revolutionized the global film industry."

"As a result, Director Wu returned to China and only made an ordinary 2D movie? No 3D, no IMAX, and even a romance movie without special effects?"

"Not sure. I haven't read the synopsis of the story. Is this a love affair across generations? Maybe the hero and heroine will travel through time and space, traveling between the past and the future. Maybe it's a science fiction romance movie!"

"A science fiction film?! We can look forward to this! Director Wu is the only one in China who can make good science fiction films!"

"Hey, hey, the registration didn't say that Director Wu shot it himself. Don't believe this kind of gossip. It's probably in the age of light and shadow that another director was hired to shoot it. Director Wu has never made a romance movie."

"Why not! "Your Name" is a romance movie!"

"Attention upstairs, "Your Name" is a youth campus movie, not a romance movie. We are not in puppy love (funny)~"

Although I don’t know where the news came from, Wu Yuan, who brought Liu Yifei home after finishing filming, opened Weibo and found that his comment area had been flooded.

Half of the fans and netizens are looking forward to this new movie, and they keep asking in private messages whether "Love Letter" is Wu Yuan's new movie, whether it is a science fiction movie, and whether it will be IMAX 3D.

The other half of the comments are all complaints of rejection and disappointment. They hope that Wu Yuan will "return to the right path" and make blockbusters. He will make his own IMAX 3D blockbusters, not some petty romance movies, but high-end science fiction, Fantasy and magical blockbusters!

Of course, there are also some "die-hard fans" who encourage and support him, regardless of whether "Love Letter" is Wu Yuan's next movie, whether it is a simple romance movie or a science fiction movie, and let him film with confidence. , as long as it is filmed, I will definitely go to the cinema to support it.

"Brother, you should be the most watched and talked about director in China." Liu Yifei, who was lying on Wu Yuan's shoulder, also saw these comments on his mobile phone and sighed: "I don't know that you big guys What does the director think? Director Yimou, Kaige, and Jiang Wen have not opened Weibo."

"Director Feng Xiaogang is open. He loves to go online and update Weibo. Last time, he even called for the restoration of the traditional Chinese characters for "love" and "love" on Weibo."

"However, as long as he doesn't attack, the topic and attention will not be as high as yours."

"Your fans have all gone to my Weibo and asked me to urge you to post on Weibo."

"My Weibo is on Sohu. If you are on Sina, I can follow you."

"Haha." Wu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Are there really so many people urging me to post on Weibo?"

After thinking about it, he opened Weibo on his phone and edited a post.

""Love Letter" is indeed my new movie. It is a love movie and a love letter that spans time and space. Fans and friends, please stay tuned!" (End of this chapter)
