Chapter 125: First Love, The Hangover 2 Starts!
"Can the wine made by stepping on it like this really be drunk?"
Zhou Yang was lying on the wall with a curious expression on her face, staring at Liu Yifei and Yang Ni'ao who were stepping on the wine koji not far away.
A camera was running on her side.
Zhu Yawen, who was also lying on the wall with her, blushed and slapped the wall: "Of course you can drink it!"
"Ahem." Wu Yuan's voice came out clearly from the intercom beside him: "Yawen, you are a little too excited."
"Sorry, director!" Zhu Yawen apologized quickly and readjusted her mentality.
"Do it again!"
"Of course you can drink it." This time Zhu Yawen was not so excited, but just leaned on the wall with both hands and frowned and retorted.
"Okay, passed."
"Save one more!"
In the yard, Wu Yuan behind the monitor looked at Zhu Yawen's face that turned red like liver in the picture, and laughed secretly in his heart.
At the same time, he was a little melancholy.
If you say that he really didn't feel Liu Yifei's love for him, then he is deceiving himself.
Whether it is the extraordinary care in the crew or the look in the girl's eyes, Wu Yuan can feel the special feelings.
But all along, he just thought it was just a momentary impulse of the girl's love.
Less than half a month ago, Liu Yifei just celebrated her 16th birthday.
Although she is now 1.7 meters tall and her baby fat is gradually disappearing, she looks no different from a girl of 18 or 19 years old. Wu Yuan even knows clearly that she will be more beautiful in the future, and her appearance is better than a fairy.
But this still cannot change the fact that she is only 16 years old now.
Well, she is beautiful, but she is really too young.
Although Wu Yuan is only 21 years old in this life, he has experienced those 20 years in his dream. It cannot be said that he has the mentality of a 40-year-old uncle. At least his psychological age is much more mature than his real age.
It's really not to have bad thoughts about a 16-year-old girl. Even if you want to, it has to be KK, who is one year older than Liu Yifei.
In addition, Wu Yuan thinks that Liu Yifei is just a girl who is in love for a while. After all, he is good-looking, has a good figure, and is young and promising. It is indeed easy for young girls to have a good impression of him.
But this is just a good impression, and it may disappear naturally after a while.
He can't just go and tell Liu Yifei directly: Don't be interested in me, I am a man you will never get?
So he is a little melancholy now, and he doesn't know how to face Liu Yifei's vague feelings.
He can only let it go.
Wu Yuan sighed in his heart, maybe after a year or two, she may not have this idea.
But, should I find a girlfriend?
Wu Yuan looked at the monitor with a distracted look, thinking in his heart, which of his friends and actresses is suitable to be a girlfriend.
After thinking about it, it seems that none of them are suitable.
The most suitable one is Zeng Li, but Zeng Li doesn't like younger people and always treats him as a younger brother.
"Director, do you want to shoot another one?" The assistant director asked softly, interrupting Wu Yuan's divergent thinking.
His eyes refocused on the monitor, and seeing that Liu Yifei and Yang Ni'ao were tired, Wu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Okay, enough material."
"Let's change places!"
In the evening, the crew finished work smoothly.
Today, Liu Yifei rarely pestered Wu Yuan to ask how she performed after finishing work. As soon as she finished work, she lowered her head and followed her mother back to the dormitory obediently.
On the way, Liu Xiaoli hugged her chest with her hands, and teased with a slight smile on her lips: "Why, don't you ask your good senior brother how you performed today?"
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Liu Yifei glared at Liu Xiaoli coquettishly. How could she ask her senior brother about the scenes she shot today?
Should I ask him if my feet are good-looking? Will they be beautiful in the photos? Isn't it cute with pink and tender skin?
Thinking of this, Liu Yifei blushed and her heart beat fast. She reached out and patted her head, trying to get rid of these shameful words from her mind.
"I didn't say anything. Usually you always pester Director Wu to chat after work, but today you dragged me away after work. Isn't this strange?" Liu Xiaoli blinked her eyes, which were bigger than her daughter's, and said innocently.
"Oh, Mom!" Liu Yifei took her mother's arm with some embarrassment, "Let's not talk about this. I'm hungry. What delicious food can mom cook for me when I go back?"
"I want to eat lotus root stew!"
Although her daughter changed the subject deliberately, Liu Xiaoli still followed her and said with a smile: "I don't know if there are lotus roots for sale here. I'll go ask later."
"It's okay, you can eat something else." Liu Yifei giggled and regained her lively and cheerful appearance. She took her mother's arm and quickened her pace. It seemed that she was really hungry.
Liu Xiaoli laughed and shook her head, and followed her back obediently.
As the person who knows Liu Yifei best, Liu Xiaoli can certainly see that her daughter has some feelings for Wu Yuan.
But she did not stop it or react violently.
Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, Liu Xiaoli is very protective of her daughter.
When filming in the crew of "Dragon Babu", she almost watched the whole process and did not let any male actor have the opportunity to be alone with Liu Yifei in private.
Liu Yifei is indeed still young and not suitable for dating, so she guarded against all the male actors in the crew like a thief.
But this does not mean that she can control Liu Yifei's heart.
As a person who has experienced it, Liu Xiaoli certainly understands this kind of experience of first love and young girl's love.
Every girl at this age will have such an ignorant love.
There is nothing to be afraid of. It is not a flood or a beast. It is meaningless to block it blindly, and it will only make the situation worse.
As a mother, she should give the right guidance instead of taking any tough precautions.
In Liu Xiaoli's eyes, Wu Yuan is really an excellent man who can't find any faults.
He is handsome, has a good figure, and has a good temperament. He has achieved achievements that others can't do in the field of career. He is an international director at a young age.
The only shortcoming may be that he loves smoking.
To be honest, Liu Xiaoli thinks that if she is 20 years younger, she will definitely like such an excellent man.
It is normal for Liu Yifei to have feelings of admiration for him.
And through the observation of the group during this period, Liu Xiaoli can see that Wu Yuan has no feelings for Liu Yifei beyond friendship.
His attitude towards Liu Yifei is more like treating a younger sister or a junior schoolmate. Even if he occasionally looks at Liu Yifei with a strange look, it is mostly full of appreciation, not love or anything like that.
So Liu Xiaoli is not worried that Wu Yuan will do anything out of line with Liu Yifei.
And her own daughter is even less likely to have the courage to do anything bold and out of line.
In Liu Xiaoli's opinion, the relationship between the two will only remain Liu Yifei's one-way admiration for Wu Yuan, and this admiration will slowly turn into pure worship as Liu Yifei grows up and matures.
Most of the first love of sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls will end in failure.
Liu Xiaoli feels that she does not need to intervene to change anything, nor does she need to do anything deliberately to prevent it. Just let it go, and the two will not create any sparks.
Zhu Yawen, on the other hand, gave Liu Xiaoli a headache.
Of course, she can see that Zhu Yawen seems to like Liu Yifei, and she must nip this in the bud!
Even if it was Wu Yuan, if he liked Liu Yifei at this time, Liu Xiaoli would be cruel enough to break up the couple, let alone Zhu Yawen?
My daughter is only 16 years old!
You want to date my precious daughter?
What a dream!
Walking on the country road with her arms around her chest, Liu Xiaoli was thinking about how to prevent Zhu Yawen from getting close to Xixi again.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" A little hand waved in front of Liu Xiaoli's eyes, interrupting her thoughts.
"Nothing, let's go, mom will cook for you."
On the other side, Wu Yuan did not go back to rest immediately after work, but stared at the crew members to prepare for tomorrow's shooting.
"Have you checked the number of raincoats?"
"We'll be going into the mountains early tomorrow morning. There's a lot of fog in the mountains, so we need to prepare raincoats."
"Xiao Li, take a few people to the town to hire some temporary guides. Don't get lost."
"By the way, has the scenery of the City God Temple been set up? We'll focus on shooting the scenes of that scenery later, so we can't make any mistakes."
Wu Yuan gave instructions in an orderly manner, and every staff member who was called would respond and report immediately.
After further training in Hollywood, the crew members under Wu Yuan are indeed much more professional, at least in terms of division of labor and cooperation, they are better than most domestic crews.
"Okay, everyone, work harder, and we'll count and store these things in a while, and then we can go back and rest."
Wu Yuan was just thinking about treating everyone to a midnight snack when his cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting him.
He picked it up and saw that the caller was John from the other side of the ocean.
"Hello, John, what's up?"
"Oh! God!" As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard a familiar complaint. Wu Yuan was used to it.
"Daniel! Are you really not going back to the United States?"
"Pirates of the Caribbean has been the weekly champion of the global box office for seven consecutive weekends!"
"You created a miracle!"
"Now the whole Hollywood is talking about this movie, and about you!"
"The six major studios all want to find you to make a movie. When they couldn't find you, they threw all the scripts to the company!"
"Did your assistant send you these scripts? What do you think?"
After complaining, John started to complain.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is really crazy in the international market. It has killed all the movies of the same period, and it is making great strides overseas. The earliest releases in South America and Europe have won the box office champion in the local market. Next, Asia will also be released on a large scale.
The box office forecast of 500 million US dollars is old news. Now most people in Hollywood believe that this movie can get at least 600 million US dollars at the box office, and even 700 million global box office is possible.
Wu Yuan's box office record increased several times, from $200 million per film to at least $600 million per film.
It's no exaggeration to say that in the second half of this year, he will be the most prominent and watched director in Hollywood.
But Wu Yuan, who did all this, did not get carried away. He said calmly: "John, this miracle was not created by me, but by Disney."
"I just did my part."
"Did you call me just to tell me this?"
"Daisy has already told me all this. I will read those scripts when I have time. Anything else?"
"Oh, Daniel, you are really too calm." John said helplessly: "Are all you Orientals so steady and calm?"
"Just like the saying in your Chinese, even if the mountains collapse in front of you, your face will not change at all?"
"I will just take it as a compliment." Wu Yuan replied with a smile.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about serious matters." John's tone became excited again: "The first box office share has arrived, and the company can start preparations for the next movie."
"Daniel, do you think we should shoot "The Hangover 2" first, or "Proposal Marriage"? "
"Hey, Wu Yuan asked curiously: "Why not "The Blind Side"? "
"The Blind Side" is an inspirational film. I think we should continue to work hard in the comedy market and create a label for the company first!" John explained.
"Then let's shoot "The Hangover 2" first. After all, making a sequel is safer than making a new movie."
"Haha, I thought so too!"
John was very happy that he and Wu Yuan had the same idea.
"By the way, Daniel, do you still need the money you mentioned last time?"
"Here in the company account, I can squeeze out 3 million US dollars for you first, which should be enough for you to shoot a Chinese movie, right?"
Wu Yuan pondered for a moment, thought about it and nodded: "If you need it, transfer the money over."
