Millennium director

It is better to say that Liu Yifei wants to win the award than to say that Wu Yuan wants to win the award.

In this era, Wu Yuan no longer has many advantages of foresight. In the next few years, he remembers that none of the movies that can win the European three major or Oscar Best Actress awards are suitable for Liu Yifei.

If Liu Yifei wants to win the award, she can only choose to write the script herself, which is not an easy thing.

After thinking about it, Wu Yuan said to Liu Yifei very seriously: "If you want to win the award, I will help you, but it may not be possible now."

"You will join the group of "Time Travel" in the second half of this year, and join the group of "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" at the beginning of next year. Even if we want to tailor a movie for you to win the award, it will be arranged to start shooting in the second half of next year at the earliest."

"That's good, at least there is enough time to write the script well."

For a while, Wu Yuan didn't decide which biographical movie of Chinese historical figures to shoot, and he didn't even decide whether to shoot it himself.

In fact, in his heart, Wu Yuan still felt that it would be more appropriate to ask Zhang Yimou to make this movie.

He pointed out a direction, and then asked Zhang Yimou to bring in several professional screenwriters in the industry to write the script, and then start filming.

It has to be admitted that Wu Yuan is indeed not as good as Zhang Yimou in the field of art films. He has been a commercial film director for two lifetimes. When he made art films, he was mainly blessed by memory, and he could reproduce 80% to 90% of the spirit by copying.

But it is not an easy task for him to write the script himself, conceive the storyboard, the aesthetics of the picture, and the shooting techniques.

Wu Yuan wanted to make "Bruce Lee" just to fulfill his dream, to leave a movie to record his life for this national darling who stood up the backbone of the Chinese in Hollywood and made Chinese Kung Fu famous all over the world in the era when the plaque of "Sick Man of East Asia" had not been smashed.

Moreover, this movie is aimed at Hollywood, to be precise, it is aimed at the Oscars. Wu Yuan also plans to spend a lot of effort on public relations to get a best movie, not for anything else, just to let "Bruce Lee" return to the sight of Hollywood and awaken the memory of North Americans about this Hollywood celebrity.

It can be said that the game behind this movie is more important than the quality of the movie itself. Whether it can win an award does not depend on how well the movie itself is made, but depends on the strength of the public relations at that time.

However, the award-winning movie prepared for Liu Yifei cannot be done in this way, and the direction of the award is also the three major European awards, not the Oscars.

The three major European awards cannot be publicized. Although there are some unspoken rules behind the scenes, it still depends on the strength and the taste of the judges at that time.

In this regard, Wu Yuan's level is really not as good as Zhang Yimou.

If it is for Liu Yifei's good and for the full effort to win the award, it would be better to ask Zhang Yimou to come in person.

After all, this is a Chinese director who almost won the three major European Grand Slams!

After thinking about it, Wu Yuan did not intend to hide it from Liu Yifei, and directly told her his thoughts.

He said frankly that his level in the field of art films was not high enough, and it would be better to let Zhang Yimou direct it himself.

Faced with Wu Yuan's suggestion, Liu Yifei frowned.

She did want to win an award, but she also wanted to play the leading role in Wu Yuan's art film, not just for the award.

She saw that Wu Yuan seemed to have some unfinished meaning in his words, but after being "couple" for so many years, Liu Yifei also knew that Wu Yuan did not want to film with her, after all, she had always been his favorite leading actress before.

Maybe Wu Yuan had his own plans.

Although she frowned, Liu Yifei did not reject Wu Yuan's kindness, nodded and said: "I know, Director Zhang is also the best director in China, and it is my honor to work with him."

Which actress in China dares to say that she doesn't want to work with Zhang Yimou?

This is the national teacher!

Speaking of which, when Zhang Yimou was filming "The Love of Hawthorn Tree", Liu Yifei also conveyed to Zhang Yimou through Wu Yuan that she wanted to fight for the role, but it was a pity that Zhang Yimou did not choose her in the end, and chose Zhou Dongyu, who looked "ordinary".

Later, facts proved that Zhou Dongyu was indeed suitable for this role. She looked pure but not delicate and beautiful, which was more suitable for the role. However, the regret of not being able to cooperate has always existed.

Now I can work with Zhang Yimou, which can be regarded as making up for this regret.

"Then let's do it this way." Seeing Liu Yifei so reasonable, Wu Yuan was also very happy. He smiled and kissed her and said, "I will talk to Director Zhang about this in two days. If he is willing, we will start preparing for this project next!"

"If we move faster, we should be able to catch up with Venice in 2018 or Cannes in 2019."

"By then, you will only be 31 or 32 years old. If you can really win the Best Actress Award, this achievement will not be much inferior to Teacher Gong Li."

That's right, but Wu Yuan did feel Liu Yifei's slight dissatisfaction.

His eyes turned, and he suddenly remembered something, and the smile on his face gradually became unbridled.

"Come to think of it, Xixi, you will be 30 this year, and I'm almost 35."

"Shouldn't we get married?"

Although Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei had proposed marriage long ago, they had been dragging their feet on getting married.

Liu Yifei was not in a hurry, after all, no female star would get married early, and even earlier they would consider it when they were in their thirties.

As for Wu Yuan, there are no elders here, so naturally no one will urge marriage or childbirth, and he will not deliberately think about it on weekdays.

In a blink of an eye, he was already in his thirties. When he talked about his age today, he suddenly felt that it was time to enter the next stage of his life.

Although the two of them have indeed been living together for a long time, and their daily life is not much different from that of a married couple, they still feel that something is missing since they lack a certificate and do not hold a wedding.

However, Wu Yuan's casual attitude not only failed to appease Liu Yifei's dissatisfaction, but instead made her even more angry.

"How can you be so casual!"

She pushed her waist hard and broke away from Wu Yuan's arms. She put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "You have such an attitude of proposing, and you are still trying to prove it. Who can argue with you?"

"Ah?" Wu Yuan was a little confused, and he retracted his arm, "Haven't everyone proposed to me in Korea before?"

"That's not okay!" Liu Yifei glared hard, forcing the second half of Wu Yuan's words back into his mouth, and said dissatisfiedly: "The person who wants to marry me can be arranged from the capital to France!"

"You just want to get a marriage certificate from me, how can such a good thing happen!"

"You have to show your sincerity to impress me, otherwise you don't want me to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you!" (End of Chapter)
