Millennium director
Chapter 842: Finishing and Returning to China
The news about the announcement of the shortlist for the Golden Rooster Awards quickly spread across the domestic Internet.
As the only remaining one of the three Chinese-language awards, the Golden Rooster Awards now has to be paid attention to by a large number of movie fans.
There is no way.
The Golden Horse Awards were banned by the mainland due to inappropriate remarks.
The Hong Kong Film Awards are also a small circle as usual. Only Hong Kong films can participate in the selection, and mainland films can only participate in the competition for the best cross-strait Chinese film.
In the early years when the Hong Kong film industry was prosperous, even if only Hong Kong films participated, mainland netizens and fans paid close attention. After all, Hong Kong films were still in their glory in that era.
But now it is not possible. With the mainland film industry catching up, the box office of a mainland movie now can match the box office of Hong Kong Island in a year. The various mainland films that are overwhelmed have made mainland fans uninterested in paying attention to the small Hong Kong film industry. The Hong Kong Film Awards have also changed from the most popular award in the Chinese-language circle to a miserable situation where even sponsorship cannot be obtained.
But to be honest, whether it is the Golden Horse or the Golden Image Awards, the final result is the fault of the organizing committee itself, and it can only be said that it deserves it.
The Golden Rooster Awards, which have always been disliked by mainland movie fans and are considered to be out of touch with reality and too ugly to share the cake, have become the last hope of the village under the "contrast of peers".
It can only be said that this is really a dark humor.
However, the Shanghai International Film Festival and the Hainan International Film Festival have been very good in the past two years. Maybe there will be a new situation in the domestic film awards in the future.
It's just that these things have nothing to do with Wu Yuan for the time being.
The Golden Rooster Awards did not cause any waves in North America.
Although Wu Yuan received the news from China as soon as possible, he didn't care at all. He focused on the filming of "Bruce Lee".
From Los Angeles to Seattle, and then to Hong Kong Island, the filming of "Bruce Lee" this time can be said to be across the Pacific Ocean. There are too many things that Wu Yuan needs to deal with.
But he is very happy.
Because the filming went very smoothly, in mid-October, Bruce Lee finished filming in North America and moved to Hong Kong Island to film the scenes in Hong Kong Island.
This part of the scenes mainly involved the cooperation between Bruce Lee and Golden Harvest, that is, the behind-the-scenes stories of the films that made Bruce Lee truly famous all over the world, such as "Fist of Fury", "Enter the Dragon", and "Way of the Dragon".
Moreover, on January 6, 1973, the large-scale kung fu film "Enter the Dragon" co-produced by Warner and Golden Harvest started filming in Hong Kong Island.
This was the first and last time that Bruce Lee starred in a Hollywood film.
After filming this movie, on May 10, Bruce Lee fainted on the Golden Harvest set while dubbing the English version of "Enter the Dragon" and was sent to the emergency room of the Baptist Hospital.
On the night of July 20, Bruce Lee fainted again and was sent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for emergency treatment. Unfortunately, he died that night.
As for the cause of his death, it is still a mystery.
Although the authorities have issued an authoritative conclusion, the cause of death was determined to be cerebral edema caused by the effect of analgesics.
But whether it is people around him, the company or private doctors, they all gave different causes of death. The true and false rumors are too difficult to distinguish, and there are too many things involved behind them.
After 50 years, the truth of many things has long been covered up.
Even Wu Yuan could not give a final conclusion on his cause of death, so at the end of the movie, Wu Yuan chose to blur this experience. The movie only stayed at the point where Bruce Lee suddenly fell to the ground while dubbing "Enter the Dragon", and then the movie came to an abrupt end.
This is also a clever way of handling it, throwing Bruce Lee's death back to the audience.
For such controversial things, it is best not to give a conclusion in the film, because no matter what the conclusion is, there will be people who are dissatisfied, questioning, and disapproving.
Fans who watch this movie may have their own ideas in their hearts. It doesn't matter how you understand it. Anyway, the movie will not give a direct conclusion about the cause of death. It also avoids various conspiracy theories surrounding the cause of Bruce Lee's death after the film is released, which affects the evaluation and reputation of the film.
In this way, the filming lasted for another 20 days in Hong Kong Island. On November 12, 2019, the crew of "Bruce Lee" successfully finished shooting and shut down in Hong Kong Island.
After holding a wrap-up banquet, the crew disbanded directly on the spot in Hong Kong Island.
Wu Yuan also took the original film and flew back to Beijing directly.
On the Disney side, except for requiring a heroine, other things were completely delegated to Wu Yuan.
After all, this is a biographical film. How to shoot it must be based on the director, and the final editing rights must be decided by the director himself.
Disney is not a fool. In order to pursue commercial value, commercial films must control the editing rights and cut them in a way that can attract audiences and sell well at the box office.
But art films are very mysterious and have a strong personal style of the director. Any award-winning art film must be edited by the director himself, and it is impossible to delegate the work to others.
So Disney was very relieved to let Wu Yuan do the post-editing himself, and did not even require it to be done at the North American headquarters. Wu Yuan could take it back to the Light and Shadow Times to do the post-editing himself, as long as the final film was reviewed by Disney.
So, on November 13, Wu Yuan returned to Beijing.
He did not immediately devote himself to the post-editing of the film, but went home to visit his baby daughter.
Although he had videos with his wife and children every day during the two or three months of filming, how could he feel the emotion of seeing and touching her in person through his mobile phone?
"Ah yo yo, my little darling." Holding his daughter in his arms, Wu Yuan rubbed his handsome face against his daughter's smooth and tender face, which was so precious.
Because she was in the video every day, Qingqing didn't feel unfamiliar with Wu Yuan, and instead grinned happily.
Liu Yifei, who was standing aside watching the reunion of father and daughter, was angry and funny. She stepped forward and pinched the soft flesh of Wu Yuan's waist, and said jealously: "I used to hug me first when I came back from filming. Now I have Daughter, you don’t even look at me anymore.”
"As expected, my daughter is my father's little lover."
"No way." Wu Yuan quickly stretched out his other hand and hugged his wife's arm: "You are as important to me as my daughter."
"Here, take a scent."
After saying that, he kissed Liu Yifei hard on the face.
Well, my daughter’s face is not as smooth, but it still feels great to the touch.
"Come here." Rolling her eyes, Liu Yifei smiled and patted Wu Yuan's hand that was moving around his waist, and asked with a smile: "How is it? My waist is still very thin."
"It's been a tough few months for me to get back in shape." (End of chapter)
