Millennium director

Beijing International Airport.

"I'm home?"

"You are so popular online these days."

"Those media paparazzi have gone from Los Angeles to Hungary, and Reuters pictures and videos about the set of "The Martian" are spread on the Internet every day."

"It's strange. Although you were very popular before, you weren't this hot."

In the VIP room directly connected to the VIP passage of the airport, Liu Yifei received Wu Yuan, who had returned from Hungary and was tired of travel, with a smile on his face.

Although she did not follow Wu Yuan to film "The Martian" during this period, she has been paying attention to the filming of "The Martian".

She didn't need to ask Wu Yuan personally, the media reporters had already followed and recorded the entire process.

Every day when the crew starts working, when the actors arrive at the set or studio, they will be captured by numerous paparazzi, even if they are fully armed.

In addition to the fact that paparazzi cannot sneak into the closed studio shooting area of ​​the studio, other staff members are under the gaze of paparazzi cameras every day when they go to and from get off work.

Even what Wu Yuan and Matt Damon had for breakfast every morning and the size of the lunch delivered to the crew at noon were clearly recorded by these paparazzi and exposed online every day.

Well, there is a kind of morbid voyeuristic beauty.

No, this is no longer called voyeurism, it is open and honest surveillance.

Liu Yifei didn't know why, she just thought that Wu Yuan's new movie was attracting a lot of attention and expectations, which was why it was so popular.

Although she felt a little bit wrong, she was still very happy that her man was so popular and attracted so much attention from the international market.

However, Wu Yuan couldn't laugh anymore.

The big capitalists in Hollywood are exerting pressure to acquire Light Times, but they are keeping a tight lid on it, and no media reporters have reported it.

It's funny to say that Wu Yuan has obviously attracted a lot of attention during this period, and Guang Era's past resume has also been put under a magnifying glass to be observed and hyped. The slightest movement will be reported in the newspapers.

But unfortunately, no media reporter paid any attention to the fact that some capitalists wanted to acquire Light Times, and not a single word was spread.

It is self-evident who stands behind News Corporation in North America.

Faced with Liu Yifei's excited and somewhat proud expression, Wu Yuan did not want her to get too deeply involved in these commercial troubles and hardships. He smiled nonchalantly and said: "Now you know the influence of me, an international director. It’s time to get stronger.”

“Every move is under the spotlight.”

"Actually, I don't want to. I still like to keep a low profile, but my reputation really doesn't allow me to keep a low profile."

"Okay, if I praise you a few times, you will go to heaven." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and cursed, but she couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

It's not just that I'm happy that Wu Yuan has attracted much attention from foreign fans and netizens, but I'm also happy for myself.

The reason why Wu Yuan returned to China in the middle of filming "The Martian" was naturally because of something big.

This year's Taiwan Golden Horse Awards are about to be held. He returned to China to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards with the crew of "Young You".

Yes, Wu Yuan was nominated too.

Although he was not attached as a producer in "Young You", his name was attached as the screenwriter of the film.

"Young You" is shortlisted for the Best Original Screenplay Award at this year's Golden Horse Awards, and will compete with "Sister Peach" and "Roll!" Ashin" and "Six Hundred Miles to Fuyang" together compete for the Best Original Screenplay Award this year.

Originally, if there was no "Young You", the film "The Piano" would have been shortlisted for this award.

At this year's Golden Horse Awards, the mainland film "The Piano" was the most eye-catching, nominated for many awards including Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Actor.

Except for Best Feature Film, there can only be a maximum of four nominees for other categories.

After "Better Days" made a strong entry into this year's Golden Horse Awards, "The Piano" also had to lose its nomination for Best Original Screenplay to "Better Days".

As long as Wu Yuan writes the script himself, he will be nominated for the Golden Horse Awards. I really dare not exclude him from the nomination list.

And Jinma gives Wu Yuan face very much, but it doesn't mean that Wu Yuan must accept this face.

If it weren't for this year's Golden Horse, and Liu Yifei was also shortlisted for the Best Actress Award, he would definitely not stop filming "The Martian" and run back to China just to participate in the Golden Horse.

You know, once the crew starts working, it will cost millions every day. Even if the production is stopped for a few days, these costs will be the same, because the equipment, studio rental, and staff salaries will not change just because you stop shooting for a few days. There is no need to go out.

The money has already been sent out. One day of shutdown will waste another day of money, which will eventually affect the delay of the completion date. For a large crew like "The Martian", it will definitely lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

When filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", Wu Yuan wanted to take time off to attend the Cannes Film Festival. The producer Jerry at the time was very reluctant to let him go because the crew had to stop production for ten days and lost a lot of money. Wu Yuan still wanted to take a leave of absence to attend the Cannes Film Festival. Yuan confidently said that he would win the prize, and Jerry gave him a fake award.

Although "The Martian" is a film invested and produced by his own company, Wu Yuan does not need to rely on the producer, but he is reluctant to take leave just to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. All he loses is his own money!

But it was worth it to attend the Golden Horse Awards with Liu Yifei.

Although Liu Yifei has been in the industry for many years, she has never been able to win the Best Actress Award due to various coincidences.

When she made her first heroine movie "Your Name", she was a little immature in wanting to win the Best Actress award. She won many Best Newcomer Awards with this movie.

Later, she made several Hollywood movies, but they all had side heroines, somewhere between the second and first female leads. Of course, she was unlikely to be submitted to the competition for Best Actress.

She finally filmed another movie with a female lead in "Those Years", but as a youth romance film, she really didn't have much background to support her in her bid for the Best Actress award, whether it was the Golden Horse or the Golden Rooster. None of them liked this movie.

Until now, "Young You" has been released. Although this movie also has love elements, it is not a love movie. It is a semi-commercial and semi-literary movie that touches on social topics and is quite profound. It has enough intentions. It's deep, topical enough, and the actors' acting skills are excellent. This gives her a real chance to compete for Best Actress.

To put it bluntly, this is the first time Liu Yifei has been so close to winning the Best Actress Award in almost ten years since her debut.

Of course Wu Yuan had to return to China to accompany her to attend the award ceremony.

After so many years of dating, Liu Yifei always accompanied Wu Yuan when he was competing for best director at home or abroad, watching him win the best film in Venice and the best director in the Golden Horse.

Now, it's Wu Yuan's turn to accompany her.

Although, facing "Sister Tao", Liu Yifei's hope of winning is really slim. (End of chapter)
