Chapter 466 Invitation From China Film

Should I make "The Hunt"?

Wu Yuan actually thought about this question two years ago.

He was quite interested in this movie at first.

After all, it was nominated for the Palme d'Or and won the Best Actor Award in Cannes.

But after making "Li Wen" and winning the Golden Lion, Wu Yuan was not so eager for the three major European awards.

And the times are changing. Now the mainland film industry has become more and more box office-oriented.

Those directors who used to rely on art films to make a big splash have either transformed into a commercial route or gradually become unpopular.

Wu Yuan's schedule for the next one or two years is almost arranged. This year he will take a break, shoot a Chinese commercial film in the first half of each year, and start working on "The Martian" in the second half of the year. He has no time to make another art film to win awards.

"The Hunt" is good, but it is destined to have no fate with Wu Yuan.

After thinking this through, he didn't bother about it anymore, and happily took Mads Mikkelsen and Anne Hathaway back to his big villa in Shunyi to rest.

While they were resting, the news that Wu Yuan and the three leading actors of the "Interstellar" crew had landed in Beijing also spread rapidly on the Internet.

From China to North America and then to Europe, countless eyes are now staring at the "Interstellar" crew.

Although the box office potential of "Interstellar" in North America has gradually come to an end, the total box office in North America has barely reached 480 million US dollars. It is estimated that before the movie is completely withdrawn, it should be able to cross the 500 million US dollars threshold.

But after September, "Interstellar" began to be released on a large scale around the world.

Because it does not involve any religious elements and there are no pornographic scenes, "Interstellar", which can be called all-age, is a film that is easy to pass the review worldwide.

From South America to Asia to the Middle East, Western Europe, Southern Europe, and even South Africa and North Africa, countries have begun to publicly release this film on a large scale.

Although the film market of a single country is not large, when all are added together, it can also compete with the North American market. In addition to North America, other overseas markets combined can contribute a box office of 100 million US dollars a week.

With the large-scale release in various places, the attention of "Interstellar" has also shifted from online to offline. Every day, fans from all over the world go to the cinema to watch this movie, and at the same time pay attention to the every move of the starring actors and directors of "Interstellar".

The news that the starring actors of "Interstellar" arrived in Beijing and would hold a premiere in China quickly spread among the fans who paid attention to this movie.

Fans in Europe, South America and Asia are naturally jealous and envious. They also want the crew of "Interstellar" to come to their country for the premiere.

To a certain extent, where a movie premieres shows where it is more valued!

Everyone hopes that they are valued rather than ignored.

In the UK, which is most likely to host the premiere of "Interstellar", many British netizens expressed their anger on the Internet!

In the past, most Hollywood movies, as long as they were to be released on a large scale around the world, would definitely have a premiere in North America and another in London.

Sometimes the premiere in London is earlier than in North America.

For example, "Inception" premiered in London.

All three of Wu Yuan's "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies have premiered in London.

Not to mention "Harry Potter", a blockbuster movie based on a British novel.

But when it comes to "Interstellar", London has been abandoned. In addition to a North American premiere, "Interstellar" has prepared a premiere in China, and has not prepared a premiere in London.

If you want to say that the vast majority of Londoners have no objections, that is definitely impossible.

In the past, Hollywood blockbusters all premiered in London, but "Interstellar" did not do so, but went to China, which made them feel embarrassed.

Even if you hold it in both China and London, like "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", wouldn't everyone be happy?

Unfortunately, this time "Interstellar" was mainly invested by Guangshidai, and Wu Yuan, a lazy man, was too lazy to hold three premieres. He also thought it was a bit of a waste to hold one in Europe and North America.

Which famous actor in the British entertainment industry doesn't work in Hollywood?

There is no need to divide the premiere into two parts if all the guests can be invited in one time. When he held the premiere in Los Angeles, he invited many well-known people in the British film industry.

Some British netizens flooded Wu Yuan's Facebook account to leave comments, questioning why he did not go to London for the premiere, but Wu Yuan did not see it at all.

The only social platform account he registered was because of the earthquake two years ago. He applied for an account online to thank Hollywood friends who lent a hand and called on everyone to donate to disaster relief.

Since then, Wu Yuan has basically not used this account. He occasionally uses a small account to check Twitter or domestic Weibo. He is not interested in the real-name system to go online, and he does not intend to "open for business".

So he basically cannot see the messages from netizens.

The next day, with Liu Yifei, Anne Hathaway and Mads Mikkelsen, the four of them happily went to CCTV to record the "China Film Report" program on the movie channel.

This program has almost become a must-do process for Wu Yuan to promote his movies.

He has been with Gong Li and Wang Xueqi, Li Xuejian, Zhang Guorong, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, and even when he was promoting "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" last time, he brought Captain Jack's trio. It can be said that he is familiar with the place and is very familiar with it.

However, when he arrived at CCTV, before the recording of the program started, Wu Yuan met an old friend who was quite unexpected.

"Director Han, what are you doing?" Wu Yuan was puzzled and surprised when he saw Han Sanping pushing the door to enter the CCTV lounge.

"Haha, Director Wu, I came to see you specially." Han Sanping laughed three times and patted Wu Yuan's shoulder hard: "As soon as I heard that you were going to record a program at CCTV today, I came to wait for you early in the morning."

"Oh!" Wu Yuan spoke in Beijing dialect that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and said affectionately: "Director Han, if you have something to say, just call me, and I will definitely take the initiative to visit you."

Wu Yuan still respects Han Sanping, an old predecessor who helped him a lot and even supported him at the beginning of his career.

Even without Han Sanping's help, Wu Yuan believed that he would succeed with his memories of two lives, but it would not be so smooth.

"Hey, you are a busy man now, how can I delay your work?" Han Sanping shook his head and said with a smile: "Anyway, I am an old man and I am relatively free recently."

"What is it that bothers you to come to me in person?" Wu Yuan asked in confusion.

"Director Wu." Han Sanping took a few steps closer, with a smug look between his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice: "Have you seen the "Founding of a Republic" I shot last year?"

"This year, our China Film Group is also planning to make a tribute film to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Party."

"Are you interested in helping?" (End of this chapter)
