Chapter 202
"Inception" won't start filming until at least next year.

It took nearly a year of preparation time to write the script, find actors, form the crew, make concept drawings, and contact post-production special effects.

There is a special person in charge of all this, and Cheng Yu'an does not need to personally carry it out.

But Nolan seems to like Cheng Yu'an very much. After the filming of "Inception" was confirmed, Nolan asked Cheng Yu'an to discuss the script and actors together. He knew that Cheng Yu'an was also a director. He had just finished filming a space science fiction film and was very good at special effects. In view of this, even the visual effects shots were taken out to chat with Cheng Yu'an.

Cheng Yu'an couldn't take it anymore: "Nolan, I love my girlfriend very much, you will make her think wildly if you are too close to me."

Liu Yifei who was sitting on the side didn't take it seriously: "I don't care, you can do whatever you want, if you find it inconvenient for me to be here, I can leave."

Nolan worked desperately, and Cheng Yu'an stayed with him for two nights before he was let go.

…………

Neil Blomkamp is a director from South Africa.

He could get very few directing opportunities, but he was lucky enough to be valued by Peter Jackson, the fat New Zealander, and invited him to shoot the movie version of "Halo".

But "Halo" ran aground, and the two had to find another project, this time they set their sights on a previous short film by Neal: "Aliens in Johannesburg."

The two wanted to expand the short film into a feature film, so Peter Jackson encouraged him to go to a major film company to attract investment.

"This is the company that Hollywood is most willing to give to newcomers, you should try it."

So Neil walked into a big film company with his short film and script.

Cheng Yu'an could not stay in the United States for a few days, so Neil simply came to receive him.

After hearing Neil's introduction to his film, Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Why did Peter Jackson let you come to my place?"

Because of "The Martian", Cheng Yu'an had dealt with Weta Digital, but at that time Weta Digital was going all out to do the special effects of "Avatar", and the order of "The Martian" was not accepted.

Neil was straightforward: "Jackson said that you are the most generous boss in Hollywood to new directors, so I came here."

"Okay, since he said so, I decided to watch your short video." I couldn't get down after being put on it.

"Aliens in Johannesburg" is only six and a half minutes long, shot on DV, using pseudo-documentary techniques.

But the structure is very clear. After watching the short film, Cheng Yu'an remembered who this Neil is: the director of the famous cult science fiction film "The Ninth District".

After the brother became famous with "District [-]", he even directed two films, "Elysium" and "Super Chappie", none of which made any money.

Then I was given up and went to make short films by myself.

Also a sad guy.

Now that he came to the door, Cheng Yu'an had no reason to give up: "Ok, I invested in the film. Is 2000 million enough?" Cheng Yu'an knew that the cost of "The Ninth District" was only 3000 million, so he should be able to spend 2000 million by himself.

Neil was really happy: "Jackson is right, you are the best director in Hollywood for new directors."

"Okay, the company will have a special person to connect with you, and I will leave the United States tomorrow." Cheng Yu'an was about to leave after speaking.

Cheng Yu'an had to go back. As July approached, the atmosphere of the Beijing Olympics became more and more intense, and his family would return to China one after another.

He definitely has to go back and settle down.

What's more, his grandfather's [-]th birthday is coming soon, so he has to go back and make arrangements for the old man.

The [-]th birthday coincided with the [-]-year Olympic Games, and the old man was grinning from ear to ear these days.

Liu Yifei was excited to choose a gift for the old man. Cheng Yu'an said with a smile: "Our family's banquet is not going to be a big one, but we plan to close the door and come to relatives and friends to have a meal. What capacity are you attending the birthday banquet?"

"Let me just say that I'm a friend in the circle of you and Lingfeng, that's okay."

"Of course. In a few years, when my third grandfather's [-]th birthday, I'll call you my grandson's wife." Cheng Yu'an teased her.

"You said it!" Liu Yifei stared.

I want to see your shy expression, not for you to climb up the ladder!
Would Cheng Yu'an be afraid of this?
"If you want, I will call you the grandson's wife at this birthday banquet."

Only now did Liu Yifei feel shy: "You have such a bad mouth!"

"You don't like it?"

"Pooh!"

The girl turned away, but her heart was still sweet.

"If you want, I will call you the granddaughter-in-law at this birthday banquet." Is this planning to marry me?
No, love is not enough!

Cheng Yu'an's great grandfather landed in the capital on the third day after he returned home.

Cheng Lingfeng and Cheng Yu'an went to pick her up.

By the way, Golden Harvest’s acquisition is basically set, Orange Sky has withdrawn, and Yuanqiu Films (a theater company in cooperation between Long-distance Media and Qiushi Group) plans to acquire Golden Harvest for HK$5.21 million.

The news will be announced soon.

Wu Kebo is rich, but in the past month, Cheng Yu'an can't beat Cheng Yu'an in the entire Orange Sky.

Cheng Yu'an exposed that the Hollywood company's move was too fatal to Orange Sky, and a big film company had a fatal attraction to China Entertainment.

Even Zou Wenhuai couldn't help being moved.

Cheng Lingfeng ended nearly a year of negotiations in Hong Kong and returned to the mainland to recuperate.

Cheng Lingfeng took the lead in this difficult negotiation, and Cheng Yu'an even held a celebration party for her in the company in advance.

Speaking of which, Cheng Yu'an's great-grandfather, Cheng Lingfeng's uncle, Mr. Cheng Sansheng returned to China today.

Grandpa was pushed out by the nurse in a wheelchair.

The aunt and nephew immediately took it and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you say it was just a general leg pain?"

The grandfather is over 80, and his spirit is not good. He said: "It's not true that I can't stand up, but the doctor said that it is better to take a wheelchair. I have been a doctor all my life, and I still don't understand these things? But I can't help you, uncle. Just sit down."

"Will uncle and elder brother come back?" Grandpa only gave birth to one in his life, grandma left early, and there was only one uncle.

"Your grandfather will come to kowtow on his [-]th birthday, and the Olympics will be impossible."

"I've heard about the business you two are doing in China. It's very good. It's good to make movies. If you need anything, just ask."

Cheng Lingfeng said with a smile: "There is nothing missing. It is the greatest blessing for our family that you three old people take good care of your health."

It was fine if Cheng Lingfeng didn't open his mouth, but the moment he opened his mouth, the firepower was concentrated: "Girl, you are almost 30."

"Uncle!" Cheng Lingfeng knew exactly what to say.

"What! I can't tell you? You're almost 30 and you won't have a family, and you won't even talk to someone. What do you think? See you in a few days, so how can you talk about you!"

Cheng Lingfeng had no words to refute the elders, but seeing Cheng Yu'an laughing heartlessly, she said sternly: "What are you laughing at! You are not interested."

The family didn't know that Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei were together for the time being.

"I'm a junior, it doesn't matter if I'm late."

The two helped the old man into the car, put away the wheelchair, and drove to Daxing Racecourse with one kick of the accelerator.

It was inconvenient for Cheng Yu'an to arrange his family to go to Ziyu Villa, after all, his girlfriend lived there three or four days a week.
