Millennium director

After rejecting Kevin Feige, Wu Yuan also had a premonition that he might not have the chance to cooperate with Marvel again in the future.

It is unlikely that he will take over again in "Doctor Strange 2".

However, Wu Yuan has no intention of cooperating with Marvel. The international film market will be in turmoil in the next few years, and it doesn't matter whether he gets involved or not.

He currently has only two ideas: to make a good film of "The Monkey King" to consolidate the mainland commercial market, and then make a documentary that can compete for the Olympics, so as to continue to maintain his influence in Hollywood, and then follow up I won't make another movie for a few years.

Who dares to release movies in 2020 and 2021?

As for movies after 2021, let’s wait until then. Anyway, he will no longer have the advantage of foresight by then, and the choice of movies will really depend on his heart.

"You refused?" At this time, Liu Yifei, who had been silently listening to the call between Wu Yuan and Kevin Feige, was full of surprise.

She thought Wu Yuan's cooperation with Marvel went very smoothly and he would take on this movie again.

However, from the phone call, she almost understood what Wu Yuan meant, "Is this "Shang-Chi" story very sensitive?"

Liu Yifei didn't know much about Marvel comics, and didn't know what kind of superhero Shang-Chi was or what happened to him.

This thing is also very troublesome to explain. Wu Yuan simply summed it up in one sentence: "In short, this superhero story will be insulting to China if it is even slightly biased. If Marvel doesn't give me enough control, I won't I will take this movie.”

"I have been working hard to make movies for more than ten years and have been the international representative of Chinese filmmakers for more than ten years. I can't lose my job at the end of the year."

"Tch~" Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him: "You are only in your thirties, why are you talking about the evening party!"

Wu Yuan, who has actually spent more than 50 years, smiled and said nothing: "To be honest, I do have the idea of ​​​​retiring before the age of 40, and then enjoy life."

"When the time comes, we will travel around the world and have fun for ten or twenty years. Otherwise, if we wait until we are fifty or sixty to retire, how can an old man have the energy to travel around the world?"

"Retire at the age of 40?!" Liu Yifei's eyes widened. Wu Yuan had never revealed this idea to her before. For a director, such an idea is really crazy. How many directors have just started their career at the age of 40? Just a career path.

"That won't work either!" Liu Yifei shook her head and counted on her fingers: "Even if you retire at the age of 40, our children will only be a few years old at that time. We can't leave our children at home or take them all over the world. Traveling?"

"Unless you don't want to have children with me?!" Liu Yifei pursed her lips and stared into Wu Yuan's eyes with an angry face. If he dared to nod, she would take action.

Although she is a female star, it does not mean that Liu Yifei does not want to get married and have children. In other words, it is because of love that she also hopes to have a baby of her own with Wu Yuan, and then watch him grow up little by little and have her own baby. life and happiness.

Even after receiving the certificate, Liu Yifei has been secretly thinking about pregnancy and childbirth. After finishing these two years, she plans to actively prepare for pregnancy before the age of 35 and strive to have a baby before the age of 35, otherwise she will become an advanced maternal age. Not good for adults or children.

"Child." Wu Yuan smacked his lips, with a bit of longing in his eyes, and hugged Liu Yifei with a smile: "Of course he is going to have a baby."

"It would be a pity not to pass on such good genes in your family. It would be best to have a daughter who can inherit your beauty and my handsomeness at the same time. I don't know how many young men will be stunned by that time."

"But having a baby won't delay our travel. I have already thought about it. I will take care of the baby by myself in the first few years after birth. When the baby is old enough to go to kindergarten, I will ask my mother-in-law to help take care of it, and we will start our journey around the world. "

"To be able to raise such an outstanding and independent daughter like you, my mother-in-law's parenting skills are absolutely superb. I feel very relieved to leave my child to her!"

"At that time, we will travel for a month or two and then come back to see the child. When the child is out of winter and summer vacation, we will take her to travel together. How great!"

"Hey, you really know how to think!" Liu Yifei smiled and patted Wu Yuan's chest, but judging from her expression, she was also very moved by Wu Yuan's reverie.

She loves traveling and really wants to travel around the world with her loved ones.

"But, it's too early to retire at the age of 40." However, Liu Yifei still said with some entanglement: "For a director, 40 years old is the golden period of his career, and if you retire so early, movie fans I won’t be able to accept it, it’s too willful.”

"What's the point?" Wu Yuan curled his lips: "Now I want to have box office and box office, and I want awards and awards. I have won all the achievements that I should win, and the companies under my subsidiaries are also prospering. They are all leading companies in the industry, and they are still working hard. What do you do every year for filming?”

“I used to enter this industry because of my hobby, but now that I have basically realized my dream, I don’t have so many obsessions anymore. I just want to slow down and enjoy life.”

"It doesn't mean that you will stop making movies completely after you retire. If you have inspiration, ideas, or itchy hands, you will still make one or two movies. It's just that you no longer regard making movies as a job, but return to your original hobby."

"Hey, it's too early to say this now. I just have this idea. I can't say for sure what will happen in the future."

"It's true that we can put having a baby on the agenda!"

Wu Yuan looked at Liu Yifei with a lewd smile. After she finishes filming "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" at the end of the year and shoots another award-winning movie by Zhang Yimou next year, she can indeed consider retiring for a year or two to prepare for pregnancy.

Coincidentally, it was the cold winter of the industry at that time. The film industry was in a recession and there was no need to work. It was just right to have a baby and take care of the body at this time!

As he said that, Wu Yuan bent down and picked up Liu Yifei like a princess and walked to the bedroom.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't have a baby now. I still have two movies..." Liu Yifei's mouth was blocked before she finished speaking, leaving only a faint whimper.

One night of spring.

The next day, Wu Yuan ended his visit and returned to Beijing. The preparations for "The Monkey King" were officially put on the agenda, including contacting special effects companies, making storyboards, and props...

Wu Yuan, who has shot many Chinese special effects blockbusters, is familiar with the process. His crew is an old friend who has worked with him for many years, and all the preparations of the crew are progressing very smoothly.

In early August, Zhang Yishan also successfully gained 15 pounds, and his image became less "sharp-nosed and monkey-cheeked", barely meeting Wu Yuan's image requirements for the male lead. He signed a letter of intent with the crew and set a shooting schedule.

If nothing unexpected happens, "The Monkey King" will officially start shooting after the 2018 Spring Festival!

Before that, Wu Yuan needs to find all the actors needed in the script. (End of this chapter)
