Millennium director

The Dali International Film Festival was decided by Wu Yuan.

Pingyao, the ancient city in Jinzhong, lost an opportunity to be the venue for an international film festival.

There was no way. Wu Yuan was not Jia Zhangke. He was not from Shanxi and had no special feelings for the ancient city of Shanxi.

He first considered the issue of popularity and comfort.

Dali, as one of the most famous tourist cities in China, is of course the most suitable place to hold an international film festival.

Just like Venice, the reason why the Venice International Film Festival became one of the top three in Europe was also a big factor in the location selection.

At least Europeans are very happy to experience the Mediterranean style and visit famous European attractions while attending the film festival!

Isn't Dali more attractive than Pingyao?

In short, Wu Yuan decided on this matter, and the two things he came to the company to do were completed.

That afternoon, he left the company and continued to devote himself to the filming of "Ready Player One".

This movie is really difficult to shoot.

He also laughed at Huayi's "The Great Ming Ape" for using too many new technologies, and it was normal for the experimental work to fail.

As a result, the "Ready Player One" he shot himself directly integrated the film content that combines virtual and reality. A lot of shooting methods that even Hollywood is still in the exploratory stage were forced to be brought out by him. It would be a miracle if it could be shot well.

Fortunately, after experiencing the ups and downs of the first half month of the start of the shooting, the crew, which had found a little way, was on the right track. Although the shooting pace was a little slower than expected, it was fortunate that it could be shot.

Wu Yuan could only sleep four or five hours a day in the crew. Other actors could finish shooting and go home, but he had to hold meetings with the crew members and even the remote Hollywood special effects team to constantly adjust the special effects and shooting methods. It was a torture.

This torture lasted from spring to summer. He had no energy and free time to pay attention to everything outside. It was not until September, much later than expected, that "Ready Player One" was finally successfully completed in the foggy city.

On the day of the completion, both the crew members and the leading actors cried.

Peng Yuchang cried the loudest.

Other newcomers start with easy difficulty, but for him, it's hell difficulty.

The leading actor of Wu Yuan's new movie, the brand-new shooting method, and the crew's progress that even Wu Yuan himself can't control, all of this is unprecedented pressure for Peng Yuchang.

Fortunately, he withstood the pressure, and completed the shooting without any problems except that he lost 15 pounds compared to before joining the crew.

As for Wu Yuan, although he didn't cry, his 20-pound weight loss can also be seen how difficult it was for him to shoot this movie.

"In the future, I will never shoot a movie that tries too many new technologies." On the night of the wrap-up banquet, Wu Yuan lay on the bed and swore with lifeless eyes.

The wrap-up of "Ready Player One" is just a small node in the production of this movie, and it is still a long way from being truly completed.

Apart from other things, it is estimated that it will take at least a year to complete the post-production special effects alone. In the middle, the crew may reshoot some special effects shots. Although it will not be like the Sunglass King who reshoots six or seven times and makes a movie for five years, Wu Yuan thinks that this movie will not be completed without three years.

The most optimistic forecast is that this movie will not be released until 2016.

The time and energy spent on making this movie is enough for Wu Yuan to make four or five feature films without special effects.

It's no wonder that no one in the industry is making science fiction movies. This thing is really not something that ordinary directors can handle.

"Okay." Liu Yifei patted Wu Yuan's arm, lay in his arms, and comforted him: "Take a good rest for a few days, and then continue to work."

"You still have a year to make that tribute film, so it should be in time."

"It's okay to take a month off first."

She really felt sorry for Wu Yuan. She had never seen Wu Yuan lose so much weight because of a movie.

Wu Yuan is not a fat man weighing 200 pounds. It's nothing to lose 20 pounds.

He has always maintained a good figure. Although he started to gain weight after the age of 30, he only had a little belly and a slightly rounder chin.

As a result, after filming "Ready Player One", Wu Yuan's figure returned to its peak, and he was even thinner than when he was in his best shape. Not to mention the small belly, his belly was almost sunken.

"For the next month, don't think about anything else. Just lie down at home every day, and be served with good food and drink. Get the weight back first." Liu Yifei ordered without hesitation, with a look of heartache in her eyes.

However, Wu Yuan sighed, "No way!"

"I can't rest."

"I have to process the shooting materials of "Ready Player One" as soon as possible, and then send them to the special effects company for the long post-production work."

""Ride the Wind" must also be prepared as soon as possible, and strive to finish shooting before May next year, leaving enough time for post-production."

"There are also some things piled up at the company that I need to deal with."

"By the way, among the two films in the second phase of the company's Xianxia movie universe, the post-production of "War of the Demon Tide" has been completed, and it will be released during the National Day this year, which is only a month away."

"This kind of phased big movie like "Avengers" still needs me to stand on the platform."

"Although the story of "Kunlun" takes place before "War of Demons", this movie will probably not be released until the Lunar New Year holiday. I won't have time to participate by then. You have to attend the premiere on my behalf. Screening ceremony."

"Anyway, with so many things on hand, there is no time to rest."

"Why not?" Liu Yifei stretched out her hand to pull Wu Yuan's head over and looked straight at him: "Time is like a sponge, there is always time to squeeze it."

"The company's matters are not so urgent that you need to deal with them now."

"Isn't it still a month before "War of the Demon Tide" is released?"

"As for the rough treatment of "Ready Player One", the movie has not been released at any time, so it doesn't matter if it is postponed for a few days."

"The most important thing for you right now is to rest. Unless it's a major event that the sky is falling from, you can put it off for a while."

"You can't ruin your body just because of these two movies."

"It's true that you agreed to it, Director Han, but then turned around and forgot about it. As a result, you now have to prepare two movies at the same time."

"I should have kept this in mind from the beginning, or made arrangements with the company, so that we wouldn't be in this situation now."

"No matter, for the next month, you must take good care of your body and stop being busy!"

Liu Yifei rarely had such a tough attitude in front of Wu Yuan. Faced with such a tough wife, Wu Yuan felt warm and had to agree.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

"I will take a good rest and put off work for now."

"My wife has spoken, and I have to obey my orders!"

"That's right." Liu Yifei hummed a few times before lying down again with satisfaction, "Okay, sleep!" (End of Chapter)
