Millennium director

Just when domestic media reporters speculated that Liu Yifei would star in Wu Yuan's new movie, they published lengthy speculation reports on the Internet and newspapers.

Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei had already landed in Hungary and headed directly to the studio of "The Martian".

As a small country, Hungary is amazingly home to the largest photography studio in the world.

The crew of "The Martian" rented this studio covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters and built a "real" Mars ground base in the studio.

Half of Matt Damon's main scenes were shot here, including all indoor scenes and some scenes shot at the entrance to the Mars base.

For example, the scene where the Martian team evacuates at the beginning.

When filming this scene, tens of thousands of feet of green screen were used in the studio, covering the entire background of the studio to facilitate later synthesis of the background.

That's why the crew had to come to Hungary for filming.

No matter in China or Los Angeles, you can't find such a large indoor studio unless you spend money to build one yourself.

Wu Yuan does not have such luxury. If there is something ready to rent, he must rent it. Packing the crew and sending it to Hungary is much cheaper than building a studio.

"Hey Daniel, you're back."

As soon as we returned to the studio, the crew and actors who had been waiting for a long time gathered around.

"Did I hear that you returned to China and won an award?"

"Crystal also won a Best Actress trophy?" Matt congratulated with a smile.

Of course, the influence of the Golden Horse Awards is not that great, but Matt and others are deliberately paying attention to Wu Yuan's schedule.

After all, as soon as Wu Yuan asked for leave, the work of the entire crew had to stop, which was equivalent to them all taking a holiday. If they had nothing to do, they would naturally be curious about why Wu Yuan asked for leave.

"Little prize, little prize." Wu Yuan smiled and waved his hand. A best screenplay award was indeed a small prize for him.

"Guys, you've had enough rest, let's get started!" Wu Yuan clapped his hands and greeted.

After getting off the plane, he didn't even take a break and planned to start working directly.

There is no way, if we stop working for one more day, we will waste a lot of money.

There are many dark clouds over the current era of light, and Wu Yuan also hopes to save some money.

As for Liu Yifei, she came around the set, said hello to everyone, and showed off her presence as the "director's wife" before returning to the hotel to rest and recover from jet lag.

Contrary to domestic media speculation, Liu Yifei will not have any role in "The Martian" this time, not even a surprise cameo.

There are really too few characters in this movie. The total number of other characters' roles is less than one-third of Matt's.

Although there is a character from the China Space Administration, the role of the director's secretary is obviously more suitable for the mature and elegant Gong Li to make a cameo.

There is no need for Wu Yuan to force Liu Yifei to make a cameo for a few seconds.

She came to Hungary this time mainly to accompany Wu Yuan for filming.

Before the movie "Love Letter" is released on Valentine's Day next year, Liu Yifei won't have much work. Even if she won the Best Actress trophy, she will still be a salty fish.

After finishing the promotional activities and advertising video shooting for the brand she is endorsing, she will not accept any announcements during the non-production promotion period.

If it weren't for Wu Yuan, she would definitely stay at home or travel abroad.

Now that Wu Yuan is by my side, I will definitely come to accompany Wu Yuan and play in Hungary, which can be regarded as a trip.

In this way, Wu Yuan's life returned to work again, and he worked on the set of "The Martian" from 9 to 5 every day.

Liu Yifei traveled to Hungary with her assistant, and would come to the crew to accompany him from time to time. This little life was considered a happy one.

Soon, after only 20 more days of filming, the filming of "The Martian" in Hungary was almost completed.

The potato fields that have been cultivated in the "Mars Base" have also contributed wonderful acting skills.

"To be honest, I think if this movie is released in the UK, it will definitely do well at the box office." After filming the scene of eating potatoes for several days in a row, Matt felt a little nauseous after eating them, holding a piece of potato in his hand and eating it himself. The potatoes dug out of the potato field said with a wry smile.

Even as a white man, he couldn't stand being treated so hard.

"I really don't know how those British people manage to eat potatoes every day."

"No, Matt, you are stereotyping." Wu Yuan stuck his head out from behind the monitor and said with a smile: "British people don't always eat potatoes and fried fish."

"Well, they only eat potatoes five or six times a week at most."

"You know this?" Matt asked in surprise.

"Of course." Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Keira told me this. She is an English rose."

As a Chinese person, Wu Yuanke is more curious about the hellish food culture in Britain than Matt. When he was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", he talked to Keira about the British food culture, and he knew it very well.

It can only be said that Matt’s stereotype is not unreasonable. British people really eat steamed potatoes and cheese in the morning, fish and chips for lunch, and mashed potato bread at night.

As long as you don't know what to eat, there's nothing wrong with eating potatoes.

"Matt, I will definitely take you with me when I go to the UK for promotion." Wu Yuan winked at Matt and said, "You will definitely be very popular in the UK."

“After all you survived on Mars with potatoes, it’s a fantastic promotion of British food culture.”

"Oh, Daniel, stop it." Matt Damon said with a black line on his face, "You know, I'm from Cambridge, I'm very familiar with it."

(Matt Damon was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and has the same name as Cambridge, England.)

"Haha." Wu Yuan laughed, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Okay guys, I announce that "The Martian" has been completed in Hungary!"

"Everyone, pack up the set and prepare to move to Jordan!"

"The next step will be the most difficult part of filming this movie, so be mentally prepared!"

"The Martian" has only the last few exterior scenes left to be filmed, and all of these exterior scenes will be filmed in Jordan's Rose Desert, which is known as one of the most Mars-like places on Earth.

desert.

For any human being, this is a place with a very harsh living environment. Let alone working here to make movies, just wanting to live in the desert is a very burdensome thing.

Next, the crew of "The Martian" will have to work here in this desert that resembles a Martian environment, carrying long guns and short cannons, and a large number of crew shooting props and equipment, for 20-30 days.

This is definitely an extremely torturous thing.

But every staff member's face was full of excitement and they shouted: "Let's go!" (End of this chapter)
