Chapter 492 This Is a Love Letter that Transcends Time and Space

Compared to those popular actors who only have one day off a year or even work all year round, Liu Yifei's work as an actor is relatively easy.

Since she entered the industry, she has basically maintained a rhythm of working half a year and taking a half year off.

Occasionally, when she filmed two movies in a row, there was at least a 2-month break in between.

In her words, frequent joining the crew will not improve her acting skills. On the contrary, due to the lack of enough time to recharge and understand the script, the works she produced will become more and more ordinary, and her acting performance will become more and more mediocre.

The rhythm of one play a year can better allow her to recharge herself when she is not filming, and at the same time, she can better study the script and make more preparations to meet the next filming, which will bring the best performance.

The opposite of Liu Yifei is Yang Mi, who not only works all year round, but sometimes also overlaps with other roles.

As a director, I definitely appreciate the first type of actor more.

As a capitalist, I will appreciate the second type of actor.

It is hard to say who is better or worse between these two types of actors, they are just two different ways of working.

As a capitalist and a director, Wu Yuan has a more flexible bottom line.

When signing artists, he prefers to sign those who can make money.

But when choosing actors for his own film, he prefers actors like Liu Yifei who have a better attitude and bottom line for acting.

"Strictly speaking, it can't be considered a seamless entry into the group." Wu Yuan joked: "You still have three days of rest."

"The crew will start filming in three days."

The preparations for "Love Letter" have been completed long ago.

During the filming of "Youth", Wu Yuan went to Shanghai for a field survey and soon found an old house that he was very satisfied with, which had been preserved since the Republic of China period, as the main filming location for "Love Letter".

When the owner of the house heard that the great director Wu Yuan wanted to rent it for filming, he agreed without hesitation.

Their family had already moved to a large flat in the city center. This old house was only regularly maintained as an ancestral home, and it was not a problem to lend it to the crew for filming.

After the filming location was solved, "Love Letter" could start filming at any time.

Because this movie is so simple that it only needs a western-style house, an old street in the Republic of China, and three or five main actors.

Romance movies, especially low-budget romance movies, are like this. It is just a small story between three or five people. What is important is the plot, not the gorgeous special effects and big scenes.

Wu Yuan, who has been shooting "big scene" movies for several years in a row, can also find some of the feeling of shooting "The Night the Comet Came" this time, which also makes him quite interesting.

And within the General Administration, a movie called "Love Letter" has also been quietly filed.

Originally, the filing of this movie can be said to be silent, and no one paid attention to it.

It was just that after the General Administration routinely announced the news of the movies filed every month, some reporters and senior movie fans who paid attention to the website of the General Administration soon discovered this "ordinary" movie.

"Film Category: Story Film"

"Project Registration Number: Film and Drama Registration No. [2011] No. 122"

"Film Title: "Love Letter (Tentative Name)"

"Registration Unit: Beijing Light and Shadow Times Film Co., Ltd."

"Screenwriter: Wu Yuan"

"Registration Result: Approved for Filming"

"Registration Location: Beijing"

"Synopsis: Li Ang, a young man in the 21st century, accidentally found a love letter from 85 years ago in an antique table he bought. He responded to this love letter from the last century with ink and stamps, but unexpectedly, a love affair between generations was born."

This low-key new film of the Light and Shadow Times quickly attracted the attention of people inside and outside the circle.

Nothing special, the "Screenwriter" column of this movie is written by Wu Yuan.

Although Wu Yuan may not necessarily direct the scripts he writes, every movie he writes is a hit movie of the Light and Shadow Times.

His screenwriting level is recognized as the top in the circle and outside!

Any movie written by Wu Yuan will attract much attention.

More importantly, it is said that Wu Yuan will personally direct the film "Love Letter" and it is his new film after returning to the mainland!

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, after it spread quickly on the Internet, countless fans who have been looking forward to Wu Yuan's new Chinese film were disappointed.

"This movie is obviously a romance movie!"

"Director Wu personally promoted IMAX 3D movies. Last year, Avatar and Interstellar revolutionized the global film industry."

"Now Director Wu has returned to China to make an ordinary 2D movie? A romance movie without 3D, IMAX, or even special effects?"

"Not necessarily. Didn't I read the synopsis? It says this is a love story between generations. Maybe the hero and heroine will travel through time and space, and travel to the past and the future. It may be a science fiction romance movie!"

"Science fiction movie?! We can look forward to it! Only Director Wu can make good science fiction movies in China!"

"Hey, hey, hey, it doesn't say in the filing that Director Wu shot it himself. Don't believe this kind of gossip. It is estimated that Light and Shadow Times will find other directors to shoot it. Director Wu has never shot a romance movie."

"Why not! Your Name is a romance movie!"

"Attention upstairs, "Your Name" is a youth campus movie, not a romance movie. We are not in puppy love (funny)~"

Although I don’t know where the news came from, Wu Yuan, who brought Liu Yifei home after finishing filming, opened Weibo and found that his comment area had been flooded.

Half of the fans and netizens are looking forward to this new movie, and they keep asking in private messages whether "Love Letter" is Wu Yuan's new movie, whether it is a science fiction movie, and whether it will be IMAX 3D.

The other half of the comments are all complaints of rejection and disappointment. They hope that Wu Yuan will "return to the right path" and make blockbusters. He will make his own IMAX 3D blockbusters, not some petty romance movies, but high-end science fiction, Fantasy and magical blockbusters!

Of course, there are also some "die-hard fans" who encourage and support him, regardless of whether "Love Letter" is Wu Yuan's next movie, whether it is a simple romance movie or a science fiction movie, and let him film with confidence. , as long as it is filmed, I will definitely go to the cinema to support it.

"Brother, you should be the most watched and talked about director in China." Liu Yifei, who was lying on Wu Yuan's shoulder, also saw these comments on his mobile phone and sighed: "I don't know that you big guys What did the director think? Director Yimou, Director Kaige, and Director Jiang Wen didn’t open Weibo.”

"Director Feng Xiaogang is open. He loves to go online and update Weibo. Last time, he even called for the restoration of the traditional Chinese characters for "love" and "love" on Weibo."

"But as long as he doesn't shoot, the topic and attention won't be as high as yours."

"Your fans have all gone to my Weibo and asked me to urge you to post on Weibo."

"My Weibo is on Sohu. If you are on Sina, I can follow you."

"Haha." Wu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Are there really so many people urging me to post on Weibo?"

After thinking about it, he opened Weibo on his mobile phone and edited a post.

""Love Letter" is indeed my new movie. It is a love movie and a love letter that spans time and space. Fans and friends, please stay tuned!" (End of this chapter)
