Millennium director

In this tense February, it is really not easy to come back from a foreign country.

However, with Wu Yuan's efforts, he successfully took a private plane and returned to China on the third day after the Oscar Awards.

As for the subsequent large-scale release of "Bruce Lee" in North America, it was all handed over to Disney and the leading actors, and he, as a director, did not have to continue to run subsequent publicity.

The goal has been achieved, so how could he still go on a roadshow?

Anyway, "Bruce Lee" didn't cost him any money!

Of course, the main reason for Wu Yuan's eagerness to return to China is that he misses his wife and children.

He has made up his mind that he does not plan to make new movies in the next two years, and he will stay at home with his wife and children and be a good family man.

Less than two hours after landing in Beijing, he returned home.

Fortunately, because the black swan has not yet broken out abroad, people like him who fly back from foreign countries do not need to be quarantined. If he delays returning to China for another two or three months, he will have to stay in the hotel next to the airport for fifteen days.

"Welcome home~"

As soon as he entered the door, Wu Yuan received a loving hug.

Due to the situation, Liu Yifei did not go to the airport to pick him up when he returned to China this time.

After all, the current domestic principle is to stay at home and not run around, and the main goal of the old Wu family is to be obedient.

"Finally back." Holding his soft wife, Wu Yuan put his head on Liu Yifei's shoulder, greedily smelling her fragrance, full of joy.

It's not that he didn't go abroad for two or three months because of work before, but strangely, this time he missed his wife much more than before.

Maybe it's because there's more than one person waiting at home now.

"Where's my daughter?"

"She's sleeping in the room. Babies are more sleepy and have to sleep for more than ten hours a day."

Wu Jingjing is only eight or nine months old. Although she can crawl, she still doesn't have much energy every day. She often plays for a while and then has to sleep for a while.

"Fortunately, I came back quickly, otherwise I would regret it if I missed my daughter's first speech." Wu Yuan shook his head and sighed.

Because of going to the United States, Wu Yuan has missed his daughter's first crawling, which is barely acceptable.

But if he missed his daughter's first speech, it would be serious.

You know, babies usually speak from 8 months to 1 year old, of course, simple words like dad, mom, nienie, etc., but this is the most important thing!

Wu Yuan will not be entangled in whether his daughter's first call is mom or dad, he can accept it, but he hopes to see it with his own eyes!

Fortunately, at least until the video before boarding the plane yesterday, his daughter has not spoken a complete sentence, and he has plenty of time to teach her next.

"From now on, I will let you take care of my daughter every day!" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Just when Wu Yuan returned to his home in Beijing and enjoyed the joy of family, the news that he won the Academy Award for Best Director was still raging on the Internet.

There is no way, at this time when all industries are shut down and everyone is staying at home, netizens are really too idle!

Although the number of confirmed cases and the epidemic are indeed very worrying, everyone is always paying attention to this matter.

But life cannot really be occupied by such a thing, and everyone still needs entertainment to kill time.

In this special period, apart from playing games on the computer at home, the only way to pass the time is to browse entertainment software such as Weibo and Douyin.

Coincidentally, the entertainment industry has been almost silent during this period. All the movies originally scheduled for the Spring Festival have been withdrawn. It can be said that there is no news about movies at all, and everyone wants to pay attention to it.

At this time, the news that Wu Yuan went to North America to win the Oscar for Best Director became the only new information in the film industry, and netizens had to pay attention to it.

This news also became a ray of light shining into everyone's gloomy life, dispelling some of the haze lingering in everyone's hearts.

So even if two or three days have passed, the news of Wu Yuan's award is still hot. Just browsing Douyin and Weibo can find a lot of blog posts and videos related to Wu Yuan.

Either it is about his film works, or it is about his life experience and acting career, and there are also gossips about his emotional experiences. In short, all kinds of news about his past have been turned out again and swiped everywhere.

Even those who do movie commentary have turned out his movies and made new commentaries.

Well, it's the kind of story collection of handsome, beautiful and strong people.

Judging from the current situation, this popularity can be maintained for half a month.

However, when the public is having fun, Wu Yuan has no time to pay attention to his popularity.

It was really after returning to China that he saw this shocking situation and felt full of pressure.

At present, most industries have stopped working, including the entertainment industry, which has entered a comprehensive depression.

Star artists are actually okay, and they are not the biggest losers. After all, the most they will lose money when they stop working, not lose money.

But the capital in the circle will lose blood.

In addition to the crews that are currently filming and cannot stop working, they grit their teeth and directly carry out closed filming. All other movies and TV series that were originally scheduled to start filming have been suspended, and most of the recording of variety shows has also stopped, leaving only a small number of programs that are so important that the TV stations are unwilling to stop.

But it is easy to call a halt, but it is difficult to deal with it later.

The film's originally scheduled start time was cancelled, and more than half of the money spent on preparatory work would be lost. The actors' schedules would also have to be readjusted, and the entire project cycle that had been planned would have to be completely changed.

The problems faced by TV series and variety shows are also very serious.

One day of suspension will result in millions of losses.

And the most difficult thing is for those who make movies, because TV series and variety shows can still be watched at home. Although they will also be affected, they will only be suspended for two or three months before restarting.

Movies are different. They will face a big cold winter brought about by a comprehensive suspension of work!

Wu Yuan is very clear that in the next two years, a large number of film and television companies and studios will break their capital chains and go bankrupt because of this, and they will not survive the cold winter of the film and television industry brought about by this black swan event.

Even this wave of cold winter in the film industry did not end until he woke up from his dream. The movie box office market shrank by half and has never returned to the total box office of over 60 billion in 2019.

The Chinese film industry was originally thriving, with the total box office surpassing that of the United States and becoming the world's largest film market. However, after this wave, the upward momentum was interrupted. Even with the support of miracle movies such as "The Wandering Earth", the market downturn is irreversible.

In comparison, although the number of confirmed cases in foreign countries was higher and more serious, the box office market was not greatly affected. After all, they did not stop work completely. At the worst time, people went out to the streets to "enjoy life" and held parties.

Faced with such a severe situation, where will the future of the era of light and shadow go? (End of this chapter)
