Chapter 236 Director Wu, Please Look at Me, I Can Do It Too

Chapter 236 Director Wu, look at me, I can do it too!

"Ha, Director Wu, here we come.

With a smile on his face, Cheng Long greeted Wu Yuan with his hands spread out, and gave Wu Yuan a big hug.

"Brother Cheng Long, congratulations." Wu Yuan also smiled and gave a backhand hug, congratulating: ""Rush Hour 3" has a box office of US$252 million in North America. Our Asian kung fu superstar has once again achieved success in North America."

"Where." Cheng Long waved his hand modestly: "If it weren't for Director Wu, how could "Rush Hour 3" have such good results."

He meant what he said.

The "Rush Hour" series has always relied on his fame alone, but when "Rush Hour 3" was released this time, his fame was not as high as it was in the previous movie, and his reputation also suffered due to several bad movies. And has been controversial.

This time, "Rush Hour 3" grossed US$76.52 million at the box office in its first three days, largely due to the addition of Will Smith and Wu Yuan.

Not to mention that there is a "Kingsman" series waiting for him after this movie. Cheng Long knows very well who he relies on to get back into Hollywood.

"Director Wu, before the movie was released, I was worried day and night because I was afraid that the audience would not buy the third movie. Fortunately, we succeeded."

Cheng Long breathed a sigh of relief, now the "Ace Agent" series is definitely stable.

Jerry on the side also praised happily: "Daniel and Jackie, you two of China's strongest actors and directors collaborate, and you deserve success."

Although China's overall film industry is still relatively backward and the box office market is also very small, China has a large population and will still produce top talents.

This is the case in the film industry, and it is also the case in the basketball field. Yao Ming is now thriving in the NBA and has become a superstar.

"Okay, Daniel just got off the plane and must be tired. Let's take you home first and rest for two days before preparing for the press conference."

Daisy, Wu Yuan's American assistant, was already waiting in her car.

The group of people took several cars and headed to Wu Yuan's residence in Beverly Hills.

Two days later, Disney officially revealed the news that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is about to start filming, and announced two new Asian actors.

Cheng Long will play the pirate king Sao Feng who rules the South China Sea in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

Liu Yifei plays Sao Feng's daughter Vril. She is a bold, fiery, and very good pirate descendant, completely different from the style of aristocratic descendants like Elizabeth Swann.

Helpless, although Wu Yuan wanted Liu Yifei to enter Hollywood with the image of a "vase", the only thing Hollywood is more accepting of Asians, especially Chinese actors, is martial arts stars.

From Michelle Yeoh to Zhang Ziyi, they are all recognized by Hollywood because of their status as "girl hitters".

Therefore, Liu Yifei also had a lot of fighting scenes in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and she had to take over the "Chinese fighting girl" character design and become a beautiful vase beating girl.

Liu Yifei didn't mind this, but was very interested.

She quite likes filming fighting scenes and feels that they are very enjoyable because she pretends to be a little boy in her heart.

After Disney announced the addition of two Chinese actors to "Pirates of the Caribbean 3," it didn't cause too much heated discussion in North America.

Most fans are mainly concerned about the return of the three leading actors: Captain Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann and Will.

Important characters from the first two films such as Barbossa, Davy Jones, and James Norrington have also returned, and have become a hot topic among North American movie fans.

But domestically, and even across Asia, the news that Cheng Long and Liu Yifei had joined "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was like a depth bomb that shook the entire Asian film industry.

Before "Pirates of the Caribbean 3," no Asian actor could play a major role in a Hollywood movie that had invested more than $200 million.

Before this, there were only two people who had starred in Hollywood movies with an investment of over 100 million US dollars, Cheng Long and Jet Li.

Now that Cheng Long and Liu Yifei have joined the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", it is undoubtedly a very exciting thing for Asian movie fans.

The ten years from 1995 to 2005 were the ten years when Hollywood fully conquered the global film market.

It has been baptized by a series of Hollywood blockbusters such as "The Mummy", "Titanic", "Star Wars", "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "007", etc.

Although they don't say it, most movie fans around the world already have a high regard for "Hollywood" in their hearts.

Actors and directors all over the world want to develop in Hollywood. As long as they enter Hollywood, they have the ticket to become an "international superstar".

Cheng Long is the best example.

"Why can Liu Yifei join "Pirates of the Caribbean 3"?"

"Director Wu praises her so much? Is there really no special relationship between the two?"

"It's understandable that Cheng Long will join "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". He is also a first-line superstar in Hollywood. Why should Liu Yifei?"

"If we want to choose actresses, Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li are better than Liu Yifei, right? Director Wu must have opened a back door!"

"I haven't read the announced news. Liu Yifei is playing Cheng Long's daughter. Can Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi play Cheng Long's daughter?"

"Why not? It's okay for Zhang Ziyi to play Cheng Long's daughter at her age!"

In China, when the news of Liu Yifei joining "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" came back to China, it immediately went viral on the Internet.

Although Liu Yifei does have a lot of fans, and the fairy sister is really good-looking.

But no matter how many fans she has, compared with the fan group across the country, it is just a drop in the ocean.

The support and congratulations of her fans were soon drowned out by the overwhelming confusion and doubts.

Liu Yifei did make a name for herself in Japan, South Korea and even Southeast Asia with "Your Name", especially in Japan, where she released an album to consolidate her popularity. She can barely be said to be a well-known star in Asia.

But compared with actresses like Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Manyu who have won major awards at domestic and foreign film festivals, she is still far behind.

Even compared with Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun has at least won the Best Actress at a foreign film festival, and the Best Actress at the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards!

Compared with them, Liu Yifei's qualifications are too shallow, but she got a cake that other domestic actors can't get at all.

Today's fans are still relatively simple, not as serious as the fan circle culture in later generations.

Or the film industry has never been affected by the fan circle culture. People have always criticized the quality of an actor based on awards and strength.

In the eyes of most domestic fans, Liu Yifei's role in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is unfair. It is a secret operation and a backdoor. She must have paid an indescribable price.

For a while, the "Wu Yuan Canary" theory, which had been suppressed, was once again a hot topic on the Internet.

Fortunately, Wu Yuan had long anticipated that the news of Liu Yifei joining "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" would definitely set off a wave of public opinion in China.

Because this matter was originally untenable. It was indeed Wu Yuan who created this role to give Liu Yifei a face. There was indeed no public casting. It was purely internal.

He didn't even intend to clarify the rumors of "internal appointment" and "backdoor", because this was not a rumor, but a fact, and it was difficult to clarify.

But "Canary" still needs to clarify that the two are in a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Under the current situation where they do not plan to make their relationship public, this negative black material still needs to be dealt with.

The method of handling is also very simple. Wu Yuan had already discussed it with Liu Xiaoli.

On the second day after "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" announced the list of leading actors, the domestic Light and Shadow Times held a press conference and announced another news at the same time.

After the contract with Red Star Wu Yiren Agency expired, Miss Liu Yifei joined the Light and Shadow Times Media Film Company and became the company's leading actress!

Huayi wanted to do something that it could not do even with "The Forbidden Kingdom", but Wu Yuan did it.

Liu Yifei joined Light and Shadow Times and became a signed artist of Light and Shadow Times!

As soon as this news came out, whether it was industry insiders or the majority of netizens and fans, they immediately understood why Liu Yifei could join "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

It turns out that she has become Wu Yuan's own person!

Nowadays, it is normal for film companies to give roles to their own artists. It is not even an unspoken rule. It is a very fair and aboveboard thing.

The two Bingbings promoted by Huayi can play important roles in any movie invested by Huayi.

Wu Yuan used the role of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" as a temptation to exchange Liu Yifei for joining the Light and Shadow Era. This is a very reasonable thing!

Now, the canary theory and the theory of being kept were immediately suppressed.

Liu Yifei's fans also stood up and told each other on the Internet, celebrating!

From now on, Liu Yifei will be an actor protected by the Light and Shadow Era!

As the only film company in China that holds a ticket to Hollywood, joining the Light and Shadow Era is equivalent to entering Hollywood!

In the future, Liu Yifei will also become a real international Liu!

Although many netizens are still somewhat dissatisfied and jealous about Liu Yifei being able to be squeezed into the crew of a Hollywood blockbuster by Wu Yuan despite her lack of experience, there is finally a reason and explanation that they can understand.

You always have to work hard to promote your own artists, and it is impossible to leave your own artists unused.

The doubts and confusion about why Liu Yifei was able to join "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" have come to a temporary end on the Internet.

Now the fans have recognized it and are beginning to look forward to her performance in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which is the sequel to a movie that sold $1 billion worldwide!

A Chinese actress can join and play an important role, which is quite exciting and exciting for mainland fans. As the news gradually fermented, the voices of blessings and expectations on the Internet gradually occupied the mainstream.

Only domestic actresses are still very sour and jealous.

Why is it Liu Yifei!

I can't compare to her in that aspect?

Why does Director Wu only treat her differently?

Is she having fun in bed?

Director Wu, look at me, I can do it too!

I don’t know how many domestic actresses are crazy about climbing into Wu Yuan’s bed. In the eyes of countless domestic actresses, he is no longer just a world-famous director.

This is a piece of Tang Monk meat!
