Chapter 443 After Cannes
"Are you talking about me?" It wasn't Cheng Yu'an's narcissism, but this situation, he really felt that Liu Yifei was implying that he was going to Cannes.

But Liu Yifei would not admit it: "Who said you, stop being narcissistic."

But in fact, Liu Yifei really wanted Cheng Yu'an to continue to compete for awards. She felt that there were two Venice statues, an Oscar statue, an Academy Award, and other small awards in her family, which were not enough.

But she also knew that with Cheng Yu'an's current achievements, even if he announced that he would stop filming tomorrow, it would not affect his status in the film industry at all.

Cheng Yu'an didn't speak, he knew Liu Yifei's damn collection.

The trophies at home, Cheng Yu'an, were not displayed, and they were all stored in a box. He didn't care, but Liu Yifei would often dig them out to wipe them at home.

After the trip to Cannes, Cheng Yu'an accompanied Liu Yifei back to the United States to finish "Pacific Rim".

The two have been separated for too long. During this time in the United States, Cheng Yu'an also made a travel plan for the two of them - promised Liu Yifei to travel with her for half a month.

"Pacific Rim" is the second major S-level production made by a major film company after "Inception", but the company still focuses on small and medium-sized productions.

Matthew McConaughey has confirmed to take over "Dallas Buyers Club", the cost is 500 million US dollars, the script is being revised, and it is expected to be launched by the end of the year.

Matthew has started a planned diet to lose weight under the guidance of professional nutritionists and fitness coaches.

The movie is still aimed at the awards season. In order to fool Matthew into participating, Cheng Lingfeng patted his chest and promised him that he would do his best to publicize the 14-year Oscar winner for him.

But Cheng Lingfeng also complained, she didn't understand why Cheng Yu'an made an animated film!
She has always had no confidence in Guoman, and she doesn't like watching animation: "Animated movies can't make much money, and the production cycle is still long. It takes three to five years to make it. If you invest money, you won't see any splashes."

A large animation studio has now been re-integrated, and the first batch of domestic animators trained by the company have returned to China to start working on "The Return of the Great Sage" - when this project was announced in China, the industry was in disbelief, and no one thought the film would be successful. , It is said that Long-distance is taking the money of stockholders to make random things.

It is really that the production cycle of "The Return of the Great Sage" is too long. According to the words given remotely, the concept is one year, the production is two years, and it is expected to be released in 15 years.

Three years later, how can the market trust you?
If it was just this one, Cheng Lingfeng would just do it while pinching her nose.

It is really that the stalls of animated films are too large, which has caused serious problems in the company's cash flow.

"Despicable Me 2" is still in production, and the progress is not bad. The sequel of this popular animation does not worry about investment, and has no impact on the company.

The problem is with a couple of new movies.

Originally, with the size of a large animation studio, there are at most two or three projects in progress at the same time, and it will not be able to handle any more.

But the huge sales of "Despicable Me" made the whole company completely out of the control of Cheng Yu'an and Cheng Lingfeng, and rushed forward like chicken blood.

After "Inside Out" and "Zootopia", this group of people joined the production of two animations, "Coco" and "Big Hero [-]" this year.

The two project teams demanded a budget of 1.7 million!

Don't say you don't have any money, Cheng Lingfeng won't give it to you if you have money!

"I divided a part of these two animations for domestic production, and suppressed the cost of 2000 million U.S. dollars. The company can offer up to 1 million yuan, but Disney is willing to pay 5000 million yuan, and there is still about 1.5 million yuan. The dollar gap cannot be filled.”

In fact, it's not that I don't have money, it's just that making movies is not the way to do it.

Cheng Yu'an heard that these two cartoons are also a big head, and he wants to make them but has no money. "These two movies are going to be made. I will go to China to find money. If it doesn't work, I will pay for it myself."

The animation company has indeed gone too far. Cheng Yu'an established an animation company in the United States just to give blood to the country, and use it as a base for cultivating Chinese animation talents.

There are no special requirements for animation companies, as long as they can make ends meet.

But with the huge sales of "Despicable Me", the company's development route gradually deviated from Cheng Yu'an's original idea, and rushed towards the direction of an animation studio.

Cheng Yu'an could only bite the bullet and go on.

…………

While Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei were still on a romantic trip, Yang Mi brought "Super Body" back from his trip to Cannes.

"According to the latest news from Long-distance Film and Television, Yang Mi, the head of the subsidiary, has confirmed to star in the co-production of the sci-fi blockbuster "Super Body". It is expected that "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" will be finalized and join the group."

The announcement of "Super Body" aroused suspicion in the industry. Before, everyone knew that this movie was prepared for Liu Yifei, but now the sudden change made the outside world speculate on the reason for Liu Yifei's resignation.

The reporter caught up with Liu Yifei and Cheng Yuan who were on vacation in New Zealand. Liu Yifei explained the resignation in an interview:
"The filming of "Pacific Rim" was very hard, and I was injured during the period. My family members were very worried about whether my body could withstand the heavy shooting task of "Super Body", so I decided to take a break.

"Mimi is very popular in China, and her skills can also adapt to "Super Body". Everyone can look forward to her performance."

"Is there any plan behind Sissy?" the reporter asked.

"The following is the promotion of "BJ Meets Seattle". There is no filming arrangement for the second half of the year."

The reporter left after asking two questions, without disturbing the two of them.

When this explanation was sent back to China, people didn't know whether they believed it or not, but Tangtang obviously didn't believe it!
They are all leading artists, Cheng Yu'an is too kind to Yang Mi!

How could she accept such a big gift before leaving the company!
Moreover, Tangtang felt that she made her debut from a distance——Princess Yunluo of "Number One Under Heaven".

As for Yang Mi, she took her art and defected, she was in Rong Xingda before.

She was brought into the company by Han Yan, and Han Yan was brought out by Cheng Yu'an. Isn't this relationship closer than Yang Mi?

In terms of qualifications, she should be the first sister of Yuanyuan.

"Alliance of Thieves" is about to exceed 10 billion, and Yang Mi's popularity is the best in the country, leaving Tangtang a few places behind.

And "Resident Evil 5" will not be released in a few months, and it cannot be introduced in China.

But she couldn't make trouble with anyone, so she could only urge her agent to accept two more scripts for herself.

There really is a script.

"Jackie Chan is going to make a new "Police Story" and is looking for a leading actress. To play Jackie Chan's daughter."

"Pick it up!" Tangtang was about to pick it up without saying a word.

No one does not want to cooperate with Jackie Chan.

This movie is Wanda's, and the starlight participated in it, but Tiantian now has "Four Famous Catchers", and there will be a long-distance "To Youth" later, she plays Zheng Wei, and the schedule cannot be adjusted.

I believe that Lu Zheng will sell the face of long-distance and give the role to Tangtang.

Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei played in New Zealand for ten years before returning home.
