Chapter 592 Young Directors Program Phase 2

"Go Away Tumor?"

"Has this movie been scripted so early?"

Wu Yuan asked in surprise.

On the other end of the phone, although Liu Yifei was very surprised by his question, she still explained: "In February this year, when Love Letter was released, a hot post appeared on Tianya.com. It was a post by a girl named Xiong Dun recording her life against cancer."

"She used vivid brushstrokes and a very "self-deprecating" way of not being afraid of being embarrassed to record the joys and sorrows during her medical treatment."

"Because she is a cartoonist, she also updates her anti-cancer cartoons on Tianya and Weibo at the same time. The protagonist of the cartoon is herself."

"After seeing these posts and learning about her experience, Director Han Yan contacted Teacher Xiong Dun through various channels, hoping to work with her to create a movie with her as the protagonist, actively fighting cancer."

"Teacher Xiong Dun, who originally hoped that her attitude of facing cancer, still living positively, and still smiling at life would be known by more people, immediately agreed."

"The two spent four or five months ”

“When I received the invitation, I met with Teacher Xiong Dun and talked for a long time. She is really strong and optimistic. ”

“Teacher Xiong Dun said that no matter how bad life is, it is still beautiful. If her story can be made into a movie, it will inspire more cancer patients to face cancer more positively and optimistically and fight cancer bravely. It will be her honor. ”

“She is really a very nice person. I was so moved that I cried secretly for a long time. ”

“Brother, I want to act in this movie. This time you can’t stop me with any reason. The script written by Director Han Yan is very good. I want to fulfill Teacher Xiong Dun’s wish and act in this movie!”

“Hehe.” Wu Yuan chuckled and said in a relaxed tone: “Did I say I wouldn’t let you act?”

“If you want to act, go ahead. Hearing you say that, I also think this movie will be very good.”

Well, “Go Away Tumor King” is really good. It is Han Yan’s famous work. Among the low-cost movies, the box office performance is also remarkable. Liu Yifei's current salary is not cheap, right?

And there is also "X-Men: Days of Future Past" to be filmed.

Wu Yuan thought of this and asked again: "When will this movie start shooting? Can it be finished this year?"

"You will shoot "X-Men: Days of Future Past" next year, don't forget it."

The "X-Men: Days of Future Past" project has been confirmed, and the shooting date is almost finalized. It will be filmed from April to August 2013.

Although Liu Yifei is not the main actor, after repeated persuasion from Wu Yuan and Fox, Fox also recognized Wu Yuan's reason for strengthening the appeal of the "X-Men" series in the Asian market, and increased the role of Flash a little, and can be regarded as a member of the protagonist group. She will continue to have a role in the second part.

In this case, Liu Yifei must follow the crew throughout the whole process, on the one hand to shoot, on the other hand to get familiar with the X-Men team, and will cooperate again in the future.

If the shooting of "Go Away! Tumor" is delayed until next year, then the schedule will clash.

"Director Han Yan said that the filming will start in the second half of this year, and we will try to finish it by the end of the year, and before February next year."

"Teacher Xiong Dun's condition is not very optimistic. On May 24, Teacher Xiong Dun's tumor recurred and she was hospitalized again. Her disease, once it recurs, will be very serious. It is very likely..."

Liu Yifei's voice was low and nasal. Before she finished the second half of her words, Wu Yuan had already understood what she meant.

Time waits for no one.

】

Once a malignant tumor recurs, it is like a death warrant from the King of Hell. It is very likely that it will not last long. Han Yan certainly hopes that the movie can be shot as soon as possible, at least let Xiong Dun see the movie and fulfill her wish.

"I understand." Wu Yuan nodded, his tone was a little heavy. After all, death has always been the topic that humans dare not touch the most.

"Go for it, I fully support you."

"At the company, I will also ask Li Xiaoping to cooperate with you as much as possible and give the film the highest priority."

"I hope that Teacher Xiong Dun will persevere and fight cancer successfully."

Although he said so, Wu Yuan vaguely remembered that the original cartoonist of "Go Away! Tumor King" did not fight cancer successfully. Later, it seemed that it was because of her death that Han Yan made this movie to fulfill her last wish.

I hope that there will be no regrets this time, and Teacher Xiong Dun can see this movie adapted from her personal experience with her own eyes.

Wu Yuan really doesn't know when Teacher Xiong Dun died!

While sobbing, he chatted with Liu Yifei for a while, and after paying special attention to her health, the two ended the call.

As soon as Wu Yuan hung up the phone, he immediately called Li Xiaoping.

On the one hand, he asked her to fully cooperate with the filming of the "Go Away! Tumor King" project, and he also hoped that the movie could be released as soon as possible.

On the other hand, it was also because Liu Yifei mentioned Han Yan in this call that Wu Yuan remembered another thing.

"Mr. Li, how is the second phase of the company's young director support plan going?"

Half a year ago, Wu Yuan had already instructed Li Xiaoping to implement the second phase of the company's young director support plan as soon as possible and select a group of new director seedlings.

But later he was busy with his own work and had no time to pay attention to the progress of this work.

Now that he remembered it, he immediately asked about the recent situation.

"Director Wu, the second phase of the support plan is going very smoothly. Five new directors have been selected and given support funds. Now they are all filming one after another."

"Send the information of these five people to my email and I will personally review it."

After a while, Wu Yuan's work email had an extra email. He clicked it and saw the detailed information of the five directors.

"Su Lun, graduated from the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama..."

"Lu Yang, graduated from the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy..."

"Tian Yusheng, graduated from the Drama Department of the Central Academy of Drama..."

"Bi Gan, graduated from the Shanxi Media College..."

"Hou Pu, graduated from the Magic City Drama Academy..."

Wow!

What a gathering of heroes!

Wu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he was so energetic.

The quality of directors in this second phase is not inferior to that of the first phase, and even better!

There are excellent directors of literary films, excellent directors of commercial films, and even excellent female directors!

Su Lun, the director of "Time Travel".

Not to mention Lu Yang, the famous director of "The Blade of the Assassin".

Tian Yusheng, although the public's evaluation of him is mixed, it is undeniable that his "Ex-Files" series is really profitable.

Bi Gan, relatively less famous, but he is considered to be a leading player in art films among the seventh generation of domestic directors, and one of the few new generation of excellent directors of Chinese art films.

As for the last Hou Pu, Wu Yuan really has no impression of him, but being nominated with these people, maybe he is also a pearl in the ocean!

"This is really a big surprise!" Looking at this information, Wu Yuan murmured with a smile. (End of this chapter)
