Millennium director

"Yes, I'm going to be a father!"

"Hahaha, we were preparing for pregnancy, but we didn't expect it to go so smoothly!"

"Then I'll take your good words. Oh, it's the same for boys and girls. In fact, I prefer girls. They will definitely inherit Xixi's beauty."

Wu Yuan's mouth was grinning from ear to ear, and he made calls one after another to inform his friends of the good news.

Mainly notifying several friends in the circle and several executives of the company.

At the same time, next to the study, Liu Yifei was also calling relatives and friends to share the good news.

In fact, the couple are not people who have a strong desire to share, but it is necessary to share such an important event as adding a baby to the family with relatives and friends. They can't wait until Liu Yifei is pregnant in a few months before relatives and friends see the news!

Liu Yifei was not feeling well when shooting an advertisement in the afternoon. She was nauseous and vomiting. She went to the hospital for a check-up. Unexpectedly, she was found to be two months pregnant.

Before this, although her "relative" did come late for a while, because of the artist's work and rest, she just thought that she had some irregular menstruation and didn't think about pregnancy at all.

After all, it was only two or three months since the two decided to have a child, and they didn't expect it to be so soon and so smoothly.

Liu Yifei didn't even have time to tell her mother about this news. It was only after she told Wu Yuan that she called Liu Xiaoli.

Since their relationship stabilized several years ago, Liu Xiaoli has not lived with Liu Yifei, but lived alone in a villa in Yanjiao. Usually, the mother and daughter get together every now and then.

Although Wu Yuan has no elders, Liu Xiaoli doesn't want to be too involved in the couple's private life, and she enjoys living alone.

"After my mother knew about this, she planned to move here tomorrow to take care of me." At this time, Liu Yifei, who had informed relatives and friends before Wu Yuan, walked into the study, hugged Wu Yuan from the back, leaned her cheek on his shoulder, and said with emotion: "My mother was so happy on the phone."

"She has been urging me to have a child for the past few years. Now she finally got her wish. She can't wait to take care of her grandson."

"A granddaughter is better." Wu Yuan said with a smile.

After the excitement and surprise passed, he could finally calm down and accept the joy. "I still prefer girls. With our genes, we can definitely give birth to a beautiful girl. Moreover, a daughter is a father's sweet little cotton-padded jacket, but a son is not like that. He is a naughty and mischievous ghost."

"How can that be possible." Liu Yifei wrinkled her beautiful nose. "The Wu family still needs an heir. Otherwise, would you be willing to hand over such a large industry to your son-in-law?"

"Hey, you think too far." Wu Yuan was happy. "The child hasn't been born yet, and you're thinking about inheriting my property."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I don't really care about these. Anyway, the money we earn is enough for the two of us to spend in ten lifetimes. As for what will happen to the company in the future, I don't care."

"However, if I give birth to a daughter, I will be very sad to think that a stinky boy will kidnap my daughter in the future. I definitely can't accept it."

"Sure enough, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world!"

Liu Yifei patted Wu Yuan's shoulder with a smile and scolded him for being greedy.

At this moment, Wu Yuan's phone, which he had just put down, rang again.

"Hey, Sister Xiaoping?" Didn't he just call her? Thinking in his heart, Wu Yuan picked up the phone: "What's wrong? Did you forget to say something?"

"Director Wu, I just heard the good news and was so happy for a while." Li Xiaoping's steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "But there is one thing, I think we should re-plan."

"Xixi has been pregnant for 2 months, right? That means that in 4 months at most, she will no longer be suitable for work."

"Yes, what's wrong?" Wu Yuan was a little confused.

"Cai Wenji!" A confident voice came from the other end of the phone: "Cai Wenji directed by Zhang Yimou!"

"Originally, the company planned to premiere this movie at the Cannes Film Festival, but by that time, Xixi should be seven or eight months pregnant, right?"

"This is not very convenient for walking the red carpet and promoting the movie, right?"

If it were an ordinary actor, it would not be impossible to go to Cannes when she was seven or eight months pregnant. After all, pregnancy is common, but walking the red carpet at Cannes and having a high probability of winning an award may only happen once in a lifetime.

But Liu Yifei is different. She is the boss lady of Light and Shadow Times. Her pregnancy must be treated with caution. How could she go to Europe to promote the movie with a big belly?

So the road to winning awards for the movie "Cai Wenji" and the subsequent release schedule must be revised.

Wu Yuan understood immediately. He didn't want his wife to be busy with the promotion of the movie when she was pregnant. In fact, he also knew that Liu Yifei also hoped to win the award with a perfect image, rather than rushing for the award with a big belly. This might be something worthy of praise in Hollywood.

"I understand." Wu Yuan thought about it and immediately decided: "Then change it to attending the Berlin Film Festival."

"The Berlin Film Festival is in February. By then, Sissi will only be four months pregnant, and her belly will not be very obvious."

"Is it in time?" Li Xiaoping on the other end of the phone hesitated.

"It's in time!" Wu Yuan said firmly.

It would definitely be too late for other directors, but he could use his connections to force "Cai Wenji" into the list of candidates.

Generally, the Berlin Film Festival will announce the list of films shortlisted for each unit from the end of December to the beginning of February, but they are announced in batches, and the number of films selected for the main competition unit each year is not fixed, so Wu Yuan still has room for operation. He only needs to contact the Berlin Organizing Committee immediately, and then ask them to review the film urgently and put "Cai Wenji" into the last batch of shortlisted lists.

This is not a difficult task.

After all, "Cai Wenji" is Zhang Yimou's film, and Zhang Yimou's films are still very prestigious in the three major European films.

As long as he wants and it is indeed a qualified art film, his film can be shortlisted, but whether it can win the award in the end depends on the choice of the judges during the film week.

"I'll contact them now." Without waiting for Li Xiaoping to say anything, Wu Yuan hung up the phone directly, found the phone number of the chairman of the Berlin Film Festival, and called him directly without caring about the time difference.

Fifteen minutes later, Wu Yuan hung up the phone and waved to Liu Yifei casually: "Done!"

"Cai Wenji will be selected as a work in the main competition unit of the 69th Berlin International Film Festival, competing for this year's main competition unit awards!" (End of this chapter)
