Chapter 210 Everything Went Well, Returning to China to Meet Zhang Yimou

Jerry acted quickly, or Disney really values ​​the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series now.

Jerry had secured Jackie Chan on the second weekend of the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

Jackie Chan does not have many Hollywood offers.

Except for "Kingsman: The Golden Circle", which has not yet been confirmed when it will be filmed, Jackie Chan currently has no Hollywood offers and has returned to Hong Kong Island to film.

He has just finished filming "Baby Project" in Hong Kong Island, and his work plan for the next two years has not yet been finalized.

As soon as Jerry came to him, Jackie Chan agreed to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" without any hesitation.

What a joke, he knows exactly how popular this IP is in Hollywood now!

Seeing that the second film has broken the $200 million box office in North America, and other countries around the world are also in full swing, another movie with a box office of at least $700 million to $800 million will be born.

Being able to participate in the filming of such a movie is definitely a good thing for Jackie Chan.

Moreover, although the character of Sao Feng is a pirate, he is not a villain.

Or in other words, there is no pure villain in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". Everyone is a pirate, and it is common for you to betray me and I to betray you.

Acting in this movie does not break his vow of not playing villains in Hollywood.

Although Sao Feng only has about 15 or 16 minutes of shots in the feature film, his role runs through the entire "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and is still very important in terms of importance.

With a salary of 10 million US dollars, Jerry won Cheng Long and quickly signed him.

Although this price is definitely more expensive than Chow Yun-fat's 4 million US dollars, the fame and status of the two in Hollywood are also incomparable.

In addition to Cheng Long, Liu Yifei also quickly signed a contract with the crew.

With Wu Yuan as a guarantor, Liu Yifei is of course willing to do it.

Liu Xiaoli is even happier.

This is a Hollywood super A-level production, and the role Liu Yifei took can be regarded as the second female lead.

Although it is not the same as Keira, the role runs through the entire series.

But the role of Xiaofeng's daughter, at least in the second half of the third part, follows the trio on adventures and searches for the end of the world together.

In the script setting, Xiaofeng's daughter has been to the end of the world according to the route on the map, so she sets out with Captain Jack and his trio as a guide.

Although she is just a background board most of the time on the road, at least she shows her face in front of the camera!

With this Hollywood super A-level blockbuster, Liu Yifei can also promote herself as an "international superstar" in China, and can be on par with international Zhang.

Although the salary is only a symbolic $500,000, this money is higher than Liu Yifei's salary in China.

What else is there to say?

Sign, sign immediately!

Liu Xiaoli, who was originally doing new media promotion activities in China with her daughter, canceled all subsequent activities as soon as possible, took Liu Yifei to the United States, and signed a contract with Disney.

However, due to the busy work, after a brief meeting at Disney, Liu Yifei flew back to China with her mother. She still has a lot of publicity to do and a Japanese album to be released. She is busy.

Wu Yuan, after staying in the United States for half a month, also plans to return to China to do his own things.

After the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the box office results are no longer something he can influence.

The film has been released in North America for two weeks and the box office has exceeded 280 million US dollars.

After being released in more than 20 countries around the world, the box office results are also very gratifying, winning the weekly box office championship in more than a dozen countries.

The pirate ship is still very fast, cutting through the waves around the world and killing the global film market.

Captain Jack, Elizabeth, Will and other characters have also become hot topics among fans around the world.

The second part triggered a wave of discussion and viewing trends that far exceeded the first part, which also made Disney and the crew very excited and worked hard to promote it around the world.

Fortunately, the contract signed by Wu Yuan and Disney only required him to participate in the premiere event, and he did not need to participate in daily promotions throughout the process.

After appearing on several TV talk shows in North America and the UK with Depp and others and accepting several media interviews, Wu Yuan boarded the plane back to China without any worries.

There was something waiting for Wu Yuan to deal with.

Director Zhang Yimou called Wu Yuan several times and asked him to meet and discuss some things. Wu Yuan verbally agreed, but he never went to see Zhang Yimou.

Now it has been delayed until "Curse of the Golden Flower" has been completed, and Wu Yuan has not met Zhang Yimou.

Although Zhang Yimou expressed his understanding and told Wu Yuan that work is the most important thing, he can wait until Wu Yuan finishes the work at hand and has time to talk.

But Wu Yuan did not delay it. Now "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been released, and the design drawings of "Gravity" have been almost done, and it has entered the actual props and scene construction stage.

Wu Yuan, who has nothing to do for the time being, found Director Zhang Yimou as soon as he returned to China.

Wu Yuan met Director Zhang Yimou in a very special place.

Building 3 of Beiyuan Conference Center, the office of the creative team for the Olympic opening ceremony.

Here, Zhang Yimou is having a heated discussion with the Olympic opening ceremony team he formed, and a lot of brainstorming is taking place.

Yes, the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics was finally won by the team directed by Zhang Yimou.

In the first half of last year, Wu Yuan was absent from the first, second and third rounds of solicitation meetings and the bidding plan discussion meetings.

He was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in the United States at the time and had no time to return to China to participate in the bidding.

The main participant in the bidding was director Kego, and he did read the poem during the first round of meetings.

It's a pity that Wu Yuan didn't witness this legendary scene with his own eyes.

But later he also heard that the main reason why director Kego lost the election was not because of the poem, but because his plan did not meet the psychological expectations of the leaders.

In the end, Zhang Yimou, who was more prepared, had a more grand plan and a great power, still won the position of chief director of the opening ceremony.

Since then, he immediately led the team to prepare for the opening ceremony.

Even when filming "Curse of the Golden Flower", his Olympic preparation team was always following the group. When Zhang Yimou was filming, they watched or discussed on their own.

When Zhang Yimou had time in the middle of the film, he set up a small tent on the set and held meetings and discussions with the team in the tent.

From January this year to now, more than half a year has passed. The overall design and program flow arrangement of the opening ceremony have basically taken shape after the team's discussion. Only some details are still being improved.

Zhang Yimou met Wu Yuan in the office of the creative team of the opening ceremony this time, which made Wu Yuan very strange.

Generally speaking, such important places are prohibited for unrelated people to enter.

"Director Zhang, what do you mean by inviting me here?" Wu Yuan asked curiously.

Zhang Yimou smiled brightly and patted Wu Yuan's shoulder heavily: "Of course, I will ask Director Wu to guide our opening ceremony plan."

"I think about it. For this Beijing Olympics, we must show and use some advanced technology at the opening ceremony to let the world see that China is also a modern scientific and technological power."

"So I wonder if we can use movie special effects technology in the opening ceremony."

"Among all domestic directors, Director Wu has the deepest and most professional understanding of movie special effects technology."

"So I can only be thick-skinned and ask you to guide us and give us some suggestions."

Use movie special effects technology in the opening ceremony?

Wu Yuan's eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

"Come on, let's go in and talk." Zhang Yimou warmly embraced him and walked into the conference room.

More than 20 main leaders of Zhang Yimou's opening ceremony creative team were already sitting in the conference room.

Seeing Zhang Yimou and Wu Yuan walk in, everyone stood up with a smile and greeted Wu Yuan.

"Hello, Director Wu."

Wu Yuan also nodded calmly with a smile: "Hello, everyone, sit down."

"Director Zhang, what is your specific plan, can you tell me?"

Today is the third update, and there will be two more chapters in the early morning, and each chapter will add a thousand words.
