Chapter 528 Returning to China, "Better Days" Will Be Released
"Hey, hello, Sissy."
"I'm about to board the plane."
"Don't worry, I will definitely make it in time for the premiere."
"Hmm, have more confidence in yourself, the box office will definitely not be bad."
"I have watched the finished film in advance. It is very good. I hope it will compete for China's three gold medals."
In the VIP lounge of Los Angeles International Airport, Wu Yuan was waiting to board the plane while still reporting his itinerary on the phone to Liu Yifei.
After coming to the United States, spending half a month to deal with the accumulated work at Light Times, and confirming his preparations for the next "The Martian", Wu Yuan planned to return to China to attend the premiere of "Young You" .
The preliminary preparation work for "The Martian" has almost been completed. The studios have been set up in Hungary in an orderly manner and the actors have been appointed.
As long as Matt Damon is established in this movie, the rest of the cast won't matter.
As the captain of the space team, Melissa Lewis, Wu Yuan did not find the original actress Jessica Chastain, but found a good cooperative relationship with Light Times, and once again made waves internationally with "Pepper Pepper" Gwyneth Paltrow came to star, they are all old friends.
As for the other members of the Mars Space Team, Wu Yuan didn't bother and asked the assistant casting director to find a few "blue-collar actors" in Hollywood to play them. They were all the kind who often appear in Hollywood movies. But there are not many roles, so he can only play a familiar character actor.
The only thing that he paid more attention to was the orbital dynamicist in the film, who was also the first ground scientist to discover that Mark Watney was not dead and still alive on Mars, and tried every means to rescue him. .
In the original version, this role was played by a black actor, mainly to comply with Hollywood regulations, which means that a movie must have actors of color, not all white people.
Well, this "actor of color" is mostly black actors by default, Latinos and Asians are not counted.
However, Wu Yuan's reputation is not ordinary. He directly invited the black actor Will Smith to make a guest appearance.
Will Smith is also very talkative.
Cheng Long's "Kung Fu Dream", Wu Yuan finally asked Guang Times to come forward to make this movie, connecting Cheng Long and Will Smith.
Will Smith really likes Cheng Long, and he is not the kind of person who makes polite remarks in front of reporters.
I don’t know why, but Cheng Long is very influential among the black American community. Maybe it’s because his skin color also represents North American minorities?
Many black people regard Cheng Long as their idol and admire Chinese Kung Fu very much, and even started Kung Fu craze.
In this case, Light Times facilitated the cooperation between Will Smith and Cheng Long in "Kung Fu Dream" and also asked Will Smith to remember this favor. This time Wu Yuan asked him to make a guest appearance, and he readily agreed. .
With the addition of this black actor, the cast of "The Martian" is already very luxurious.
The remaining characters who don't have many roles, including the director of NASA, etc., just need to find a group of cheap and easy-to-use golden supporting actors from Hollywood.
After completing the casting work, Wu Yuan can temporarily fly back to China to attend the premiere of "Young You", and then rest for a month before going to the United States to officially start filming "The Martian".
After explaining to Liu Yifei, he turned off his mobile phone and got on the flight back to China.
"come yet?"
"The flight news has landed."
"Hurry, hurry, follow Liu Yifei."
"I have to take a photo this time!"
Wearing sunglasses and a mask, Liu Yifei stood at the airport pick-up gate when she heard the undisguised excitement of the reporters around her. She frowned, looked down at the time on her phone, and did not choose to continue standing here, but turned around and walked in. Airport Starbucks.
"Brother, I'm at Starbucks. What kind of coffee do you want to drink?"
"There are many reporters at the airport pick-up port. You can go directly to the parking lot later. I will wait for you in the car."
I don’t know why, but the news and flight information about Wu Yuan’s return to China were leaked today. A bunch of reporters were squatting at the Capital International Airport early in the morning.
This made Liu Yifei, who had originally planned to pick up the plane in person at the airport, no longer interested in picking up the plane in person.
She had no intention of kissing and hugging Wu Yuan in front of reporters and numerous cameras.
Acting is one thing, reality is another.
Liu Yifei doesn't like it very much. It can even be said that she hates putting her relationship in front of reporters' magnifying glass and using it as material for their articles.
She understands fans' desire to "get sweets", so she often takes the initiative to make movies with Wu Yuan. It was her strong request to cast Wu Yuan as the male and female lead in "Goblin", and she was extremely satisfied. Fans are so sweet.
But this does not mean that Liu Yifei likes to make her private life with Wu Yuan public on the Internet.
She still values personal space.
After sending two messages to Wu Yuan, she quickly bought two cups of iced coffee, and left the airport pick-up gate with the coffee in front of the reporters.
"Um?!"
"Why is Liu Yifei gone?"
"Is Wu Navigation's class delayed? Or has it been rescheduled?"
"No message received!"
"His flight has landed!"
The reporters who were always paying attention to Liu Yifei watched her leave with confused expressions. Some of them followed her decisively, while the remaining reporters still stood there hesitating.
It's a pity that even if those clever reporters followed Liu Yifei, they couldn't enter the airport parking lot.
To be precise, it was an employee parking lot for airport staff.
This is only available to super VIPs who use the VIP channel.
After returning to the car, Liu Yifei waited for a while, and Wu Yuan came here on a shuttle bus led by a flight attendant.
"Welcome back!"
As soon as he got on the car, Wu Yuan was greeted with a big hug.
Liu Yifei pinched Wu Yuan's cheek with a smile on her face, "It's only been less than a month since you went to the United States. How come you have lost weight? There is no meat on your face."
"I'm not used to the diet there. It's normal to lose weight." Wu Yuan shrugged and said indifferently.
Although he has been in Hollywood for many years, Wu Yuan's stomach is still a Chinese stomach and he can't get used to Western-style bread steak.
"How is it going? Are all the preparations for the premiere ready?"
"Yes, the premiere will start the day after tomorrow."
"I invited many friends in the circle, and the director and Zhang Yishan also invited some friends."
"But most of the guests should still come for the Light and Shadow Times and your face."
"Even people from Hong Kong Island are coming to attend the premiere."
"Hong Kong Island? Who?" Wu Yuan asked in confusion.
He couldn't remember any close contacts or exchanges with any people in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry?
Except Zhang Guorong.
"Liu Dehua, Brother Hua!" Liu Yifei said: "Brother Hua seems to have something to meet and talk with you."
"Liu Dehua?" Wu Yuan thought about it, and he didn't seem to have much interaction with Liu Dehua recently. (End of this chapter)
