Millennium director

"Did you hear that a great director is coming to visit the class today!"

"Great director? Who?" Chen Muchi, who played Yin Jiao in "The Trilogy of the Gods", looked at his companion with curiosity.

Yu Shi, whose upper body was bare and showing off his strong muscles, chuckled and said excitedly: "A super great director, the one who is famous in Hollywood!"

There are many great directors in China, but there is only one who is famous in Hollywood.

Chen Muchi reacted immediately and raised his head excitedly: "Director Wu is coming?!"

"Well, I heard that I came here to talk to Director Sang about something, and I wanted to visit the class by the way." Yu Shi, who was extremely well-informed, explained.

Although "The Trilogy of the Gods" is currently in the reshooting stage, most of the actors who went to the filming base for reshoots are young actors from the crew.

Don't look at the fact that during the promotion of this movie, all big stars joined the cast. Huang Bo, Chen Kun, and Xia Yu all participated, but their roles are not actually important. The protagonists of this movie are a group of young people.

Young actors are easy to train and are willing to endure hardships. Just for casting, Wu Ershan conducted a complicated audition comparable to that of "Produce Camp". The actors who were finally selected underwent martial arts and equestrian training for half a year before they entered the role. Officially shot by the group.

This group of young actors selected by Wu Ershanhai are the main force in the filming of "The Trilogy of the Gods", and they are also the ones who came to reshoot. After all, they only have a lot of fighting scenes in the film. Chen Kun and others played Sanqing, Jiang Ziya, etc. are mainly literary operas.

As soon as the news about Yu Shi came out, the "Fengshen Boy Group" who were still waiting in twos and threes for filming immediately gathered around and started asking questions.

"When will Director Wu come?"

"Will he come to watch us filming?"

"Do we have a chance to talk to Director Wu?"

"It would be great if Director Wu could take a fancy to us and invite us to star in his new movie."

"Does Director Wu still know Director Wu?"

"Of course we know each other! Director Wu's "Painted Skin 2" is a collaboration with Light and Shadow Era!"

This group of actors, who were born in 1996 or 1997 on average, can be said to have really grown up watching Wu Yuan's movies.

In the past ten years or so, Wu Yuan's films have been accompanying the generation of young people born in 1995 to grow up. His influence among the generation born in 1995 is just like Zhang Yimou's influence in the eyes of the previous generation. Undoubtedly No.1!

If nothing else, "Gravity" alone has influenced the futures of many young people and made them truly feel the power of the rise of great powers.

Now that this great director, who to most people in the industry is like a dragon but never sees the end, is actually coming to visit the cast, these actors are naturally extremely excited.

Before they could get the result out of Yu Shi's mouth, a crowd suddenly came in at the entrance of the shooting base.

Wu Ershan led Wu Yuan, followed by a large number of crew members, and walked in together.

Okay, no need to ask now.

Yu Shi, Chen Muchi, Ci Sha, Hou Wenyuan, Huang Xiyan, Li Yunrui and other young actors all looked over with bright eyes. After seeing Wu Ershan waving to them, they immediately gathered around nervously and excitedly.

"Director Wu, these are our young actors in "The Trilogy of the Gods."

"Everyone is a good talent. They are very hard-working. They have been training for more than half a year. After joining the team, they were also very diligent and completed the shooting very well."

"I can see it." Wu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling amazed in his heart.

I don’t know what kind of scene they were filming today, but all of them were naked from the waist up, showing off their good figure with eight-pack abs.

Apart from anything else, Wu Yuan believed that just by having these handsome guys with an average height of over 180cm "selling meat" in the movie would attract a lot of idiots to the cinema.

This thing is so eye-catching!

For the next ten minutes, Wu Yuan chatted cordially with these young actors, answered many of their curious questions, and also asked them about their feelings during filming, especially in the fight scenes. .

After all, Wu Yuan had not forgotten that the main target of his visit this time was Sang Lin, the martial arts instructor.

Although these young actors cannot tell the quality of martial arts instructors, they can also learn about Sang Lin's character in daily interactions with the crew. After all, character is also very important when choosing a partner.

Fortunately, Sang Lin is quite good in the words of these young actors. After all, they have been together for more than two years. From closed training to filming, Sang Lin has been with the team the whole time. It can be said that he leads the team of these actors. Taught step by step.

After getting to know each other carefully and satisfying their curiosity, Wu Yuan and Wu Ershan walked to the utility room where shooting equipment was stacked, and started a one-on-one chat between the two directors.

"Senior brother, is everything going well with the crew?"

"Now everyone inside and outside the industry is paying close attention to your "Fengshen Trilogy". Everyone hopes that domestic movies will produce a super IP!"

Wu Ershan was Wu Yuanzheng's direct senior student, so he felt no psychological burden when calling him "senior brother".

"Director Wu, it's hard to say enough!" Wu Ershan was embarrassed to call this junior brother who had achieved more than him, so he could only use a polite name.

Although the title was polite, his words were not polite at all. He expressed his bitterness to Wu Yuan, "Everything was actually going smoothly."

"The trilogy was filmed in one go, and now we almost have to do reshoots, which are all the finishing touches."

"Originally, we planned to release three films in 2020, 2021 and 2022."

"But the plan can't keep up with the changes. A mask destroyed everything."

"Now the release plan has been postponed indefinitely. Under force majeure, the economy is in recession, the film industry is sluggish, and investors have withdrawn their investment in "Fengshen"."

"Originally, the first film has entered the post-production stage, but now several investors are withdrawing their investment or transferring their investment shares, which has caused the project's cash flow to break. There is no choice but to bite the bullet and find new investors."

"I can't sleep every day because of worrying, and my hair is falling out in clumps."

"The only thing I can be thankful for is that there is still money for the post-production of the first film. I can still make it by looking for money here and there, but there is no money for the post-production of the last two films. It depends on whether the first film can make a profit before there is a chance to continue looking for investment."

"But in the current situation, there is no good time to release it!"

The bitterness is really bitter, and it is bitterness that Wu Yuan has never known in his two lifetimes.

He really didn't know that the investor of "The Three Kingdoms of Gods" had withdrawn his investment, and it was when the filming was finished and the post-production was about to begin.

But this situation was indeed reasonable. After all, when the black swan event occurred, the capital behind it was tight and the industry was expected to be in decline. It was normal to withdraw investment in time to stop losses.

It can only be said that Wu Ershan was really unlucky. If there hadn't been this black swan event, although the investor was unlikely to give him money to complete the post-production of all three parts at once, at least he would not withdraw his investment so early. At least he would have to wait until the first part was released before deciding whether to continue investing in the next two parts.

Now, the first part hasn't even finished post-production yet, and the investor has left (end of this chapter)
