China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

Fang Yu and Liu Yifei walked into Disney's reception room, which was elegantly decorated with posters of classic animations hanging on the walls, creating a creative and dreamy atmosphere, as if animation and reality were combined.

Liu Yifei looked around nervously, her hands twisted together unconsciously.

Fang Yu noticed her nervousness, so he comforted her softly, "Don't be nervous, Xixi. I'm very familiar with the person in charge at Disney. They have always been very interested in Marvel Studios and want to discuss cooperation and acquisition with me. We're here to discuss the Mulan project today, which is almost a sure thing. You don't have to worry too much."

After hearing what Fang Yu said, Liu Yifei's nervousness eased a little, but she was still a little uneasy: "Brother, I know you are very capable, but this is my first time working with such a big company, I am still a little nervous."

Fang Yu patted her shoulder gently and encouraged her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. You just need to show your strength and charm, and leave the rest to me."

At this moment, Disney executives entered the reception room one after another.

As soon as they saw Fang Yu, expressions of surprise and respect appeared on their faces.

They came forward one by one to greet Fang Yu and shook hands warmly.

“Steven Fang, we finally meet you, we are all your fans.” A senior executive said excitedly.

Another senior executive also agreed: "Yes, we all like your work very much. It is our honor to cooperate with you."

Fang Yu responded with a smile: "Thank you, I am also very happy to work with Disney. Today, I also brought the main actors of our "Mulan" project, Crystal Liu, Liu Yifei."

Everyone's eyes turned to Liu Yifei. Although she was still a little nervous, with Fang Yu's encouragement, she smiled confidently and nodded to everyone.

"Oh, I know you. You have acted in a movie with Stephen. Which one was it?" A bald man scratched his head.

"That's it! It's the movie where he played the villain with Jet Li!" a senior fan of Fang Yu answered quickly.

"Yes, it's her!"

Several senior executives instantly became more enthusiastic, and Liu Yifei, who was extremely nervous just now, also became generous, "Hello, I'm Crystal Liu."

Now that we know each other, it’s easy to talk.

Fang Yu cleared his throat and began his statement:

"Dear Disney executives, first of all, I want to thank Disney for its respect and love for Chinese culture. Although the animated version of Mulan more than 20 years ago did not achieve the expected success in China, it laid the foundation for today. Today, China has become the world's second largest film market, which provides us with an unprecedented opportunity."

"We are well aware that Chinese audiences are becoming more and more discerning about their choice of films. They are eager to see works that are profound, meaningful and resonate with people. The live-action version of Mulan is not just a movie, it is a bridge that connects Eastern and Western cultures and conveys the values ​​of courage, loyalty and true self."

Fang Yu spoke in a lot of different ways, and not only were the Disney executives confused, but even Liu Yifei was a little confused.

“I am confident that through our joint efforts, the live-action version of Mulan will be able to present the story of this legendary woman with a whole new perspective and depth. We will remain faithful to the spirit of the original while adding modern elements and perspectives to make it a film that will touch the hearts of audiences around the world.”

“In addition, the production of the live-action version of Mulan will also be an opportunity to showcase Disney’s innovation and production capabilities. Through careful script polishing, superb performances, and high-quality production, we are confident that we can create a work that will cause a sensation around the world.”

“Let us work together to bring the story of Mulan to the world again, not only for Disney’s commercial success, but also for cultural exchange and resonance!”

Fang Yu's words were full of confidence and enthusiasm, and his words touched everyone present.

Disney's top executives listened attentively, their eyes revealing interest and recognition.

Led by the white fan girl, everyone applauded, obviously confused by Fang Yu's words.

A senior executive nodded in agreement: "Steven Fang, your words are very convincing. We do see the potential of the Chinese market, and we hope to establish a deeper cultural connection through Mulan and open up the Chinese market."

After discussing the cooperation matters, Fang Yu and Liu Yifei left the Disney building.

The two of them arrived at the parking lot, and Liu Yifei asked Fang Yu with some confusion, "Brother, why are they so easy to talk to? Such a big movie project, is it established just like that?"

"Hey." Fang Yu turned around and smiled at Liu Yifei, "Let me tell you something."

"Ah, what is it?"

At this time, Liu Yifei didn't know that she would become the spokesperson for Fang Yu's next case, and she didn't know that the day she became the spokesperson, the sales volume would not be comparable to that of a black monkey's peripheral products.
But that’s all for another day.

"There is a domestic enterprise that is raising funds, and they are blatantly harvesting leeks and cutting the money of angel investors."

"Ah, then won't they be blocked from the circle?" Liu Yifei asked in confusion.

“No, because they drew a very beautiful picture. They did not look for domestic investors, they looked for investors from Niuyaoke. The product is coffee.”

"Coffee?" Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and then Fang Yu continued:

"Yes, coffee. It's funny. When they were painting a rosy picture for foreigners, they said that the market of 14 billion people had not yet been developed. If we cultivate the habit of drinking coffee in such a large market, then in the future, as the largest coffee merchant, wouldn't we directly own the 14 billion coffee market?"

"According to his logic, this coffee company started to reap the profits. It used investors' money to open stores across the country and distributed discount coupons in large quantities. Later on, a cup of coffee only cost the price of two bottles of mineral water."

"That gang is really cruel to foreigners. The ingredients they use are the same level as Starbucks. A cup of coffee at Starbucks costs thirty or fifty yuan, while the coffee from that company that cheated foreign investors only costs a few yuan."

"So you say there will always be office workers who want to take a sip, right?"

"Can't the investors see the trick?" Liu Yifei asked confusedly.

"Hehe, this is the cleverness of the senior management of that coffee company. After distributing a large number of coupons, the sales volume is also very good, and the annual revenue report looks very good. So if they have something to say to the upper management, just say, look, our strategy is right, right? These people are potential users. If we give them coupons now and stop giving them coupons in the future, they will get addicted and have to spend money to buy coffee."

"Pfft! Hahaha!" Liu Yifei heard the trap here, "Some people just drink it because it's cheap and the ingredients are good. When the price goes up, they probably won't drink it anymore."

Fang Yu nodded. "So, when I talked to Disney about the movie market of 14 billion people, they were tempted. And when they heard that I was going to take you to act in the film, with my box office appeal, they were confident that they could open up the Chinese market."

Liu Yifei understood what she had heard. In fact, everything else could be ignored, but Fang Yu was the only thing that needed to be included in the plan.
She didn't say much, but walked up to Fang Yu and kissed him, "Brother Xiaoyao, I will always love you."

After agreeing to make the movie, Disney entered the stage of selecting a director.

Initially, Disney wanted to find a domestic director to direct the film, but did not find the right person during the search.

At the suggestion of Hong Kong producer Jiang Zhiqiang, Niki Caro got the opportunity to compete for the director's role.

However, as soon as Fang Yu heard the news, he scolded the top executives of Disney.

"Fire that producer first. I've just been busy helping my friend look after their kids these past two days. It's not like I'm quitting my job! I'm the only one who can be the producer! Also, I've already thought of the director position. If you can't find a suitable candidate, I can!"

"Listen! Although Mulan is a Disney production, the origin of her story is very different! Only a Chinese with a good family background can film this kind of friendship!" "Don't try to be right with me! Even if you want to do it, you have to let a Chinese director do it! That's enough! What female director, get out of here! Don't force me to say anything more unpleasant! Only men know how to make a woman look more beautiful! Female directors are only jealous of their actresses!"

Fang Yu hung up the phone and held his daughter in his arms, "Oh, don't cry, don't cry, Daddy was just scolding someone~"

A day later, international director and Oscar-winning director Li Yan arrived at Disney headquarters.

Now that we have dealt with the director, there is still work to be done.

Disney also recruited other team members for the film, including costume designers, visual effects directors, and stunt directors. From screenwriters to photography, costumes, makeup, and props, almost all team leaders are women.

It directly corrected the movie "Mulan".

Fang Yu picked up the phone while changing diapers.

"I'm so f*cking convinced! What do you want to do with so many outstanding women? No no! No foreign women! Even if you want to do it right, you have to find Chinese people for me, right?! This is our Chinese story! Not your white story!"

With Fang Yu's involvement, Disney was helpless.

They didn't know any outstanding Chinese filmmakers, so they could only give full guidance to Fang Yu.

The first thing Fang Yu did was to fire the white female screenwriter.

What a joke! If we let them write the script, who knows how ugly it would turn out.

Then, Fang Yu was also fired for costume design and makeup.

He has not forgotten how much ridicule Liu Yifei's Mulan makeup caused among the Chinese people.

That stuff can't be called Chinese beauty at all, it's purely disgusting.

For the costume design, Fang Yu asked Xu Guanwen, the cold-faced comedian, to find the Oscar winner for Best Art Design, Ye Jintian
Ye Jintian's resume is amazing.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was shortlisted for the Best Art Design at the Academy Awards and went to Jinjiang.

"Spring in a Small Town" won the San Marco Award at the Venice International Film Festival.

Athens Closing Ceremony, The Banquet, Red Cliff, A Better Tomorrow, Dream of the Red Chamber.

This person is always indispensable in the Chinese art hall of pinnacle fashion.

So Fang Yu replaced him with a white female designer named Bina Daigeler, leaving Disney with nothing to do.

As for the screenwriting, Fang Yu wrote it himself.

He believed that even if he wrote the script with his feet, it would be better than the "Mulan" script written by those in Hollywood.

As martial arts instructor, Fang Yu once again invited Yuan Heping's team.

These are already old acquaintances of Fang Yu in Hollywood. Inviting them would make Fang Yu more familiar with them than inviting other teams. In addition, Yuan Heping's team is more familiar with Jet Li. Jet Li's cameo appearance is indispensable in this "Mulan", and there is also Zhen Zidan. It would be unreasonable not to invite them.

The cast that a domestic film should have is complete, and Fang Yu also took great pains in choosing the roles.

Pei-pei Tseng, Lucy Liu, Zhang Ziyi, and Yang Ziqiong.

These Chinese actresses, who already have some international fame, all received invitation letters from Fang Yu.

As for male stars, in addition to himself who has already been confirmed, there are also Jet Li and Zhen Zidan.

Fang Yu waved his hand and invited Chenglong.

"Uncle Long, you must come and support this movie."

"Let me put it this way. A female protagonist, a Chinese story. Do you think this is just an ordinary movie? No, it is the first time a film about the Chinese spirit has been shown overseas. It will allow audiences around the world to see the Chinese style! I have already participated in the film, and you can't be left out either!"

Fang Yu is not trying to use moral blackmail. He really wants to use Mulan to allow Chinese-language films to counterattack the Hollywood market.

The naive Disney fans thought that they had opened up the Chinese market, but they didn't expect that Fang Yu had bigger plans. He wanted to use the basic base of 14 billion to attack the global market of 70 billion.

"We are a whole family this time, and we must succeed." Fang Yu finally said to Chenglong, who closed the book while reading the crappy script.

"Okay then! Yu, the success of British Showdown has shown me that you are an absolute box office talent. I'll listen to you. When will you let me go?"

"I have confidence in Uncle Long's acting skills. I will contact you when I need you!"

"Oh, right!"

Before hanging up the phone, Fang Yu suggested to Chenglong, "Uncle Long, can Sammo Hung make a cameo appearance? I think he has the body and looks to play a general."

Fang Yu Manor.

Liu Xiaoli was busy preparing confinement meals in the kitchen, while Liu Yifei, holding the baby, sat next to Fang Yu and looked up at the stars.

"Brother, thank you!" Liu Yifei snuggled in Fang Yu's arms, "Thank you for your hard work this time!"

The film hasn't even started shooting yet, but Fang Yu has made such a big preparation. Even if Fang Yu and Liu Yifei have never met each other, she would be grateful to Fang Yu after this incident. What's more, they have known each other for such a long time and are lovers.

Such a big gift directly knocked Liu Yifei unconscious.

Dizzy with happiness.

"This is what you deserve." Fang Yu touched Liu Yifei's little face and looked at the child in her arms. "You can get along with the child so harmoniously, that's what you deserve."

"I like her too. After all, I am the child's godmother, hehe." Liu Yifei kissed Fang Yu's daughter on the face, "I've thought about what to name her if I have a child."

"what is it call?"

"Mulan." (End of this chapter)
