director of the millennium

"Well, Director Wu, I'm honored to receive this invitation, but this is a big deal and I need to think about it carefully."

Bosco Wong’s Mandarin pronunciation is very good, at least better than most of the Hong Kong Islanders that Wu Yuan has met during this period.

From this aspect, we can also see that he is very concerned about the development in the mainland, otherwise he would not have specially practiced such standard Mandarin.

Most of the Hong Kong actors that Wu Yuan likes and is willing to contact speak Mandarin quite well, which also shows that it is not difficult for Hong Kong people to practice Mandarin well.

Even Stephen Chow, who has not appeared on screen for a long time, speaks pretty good Mandarin.

Some actors from Hong Kong Island keep saying that they want to embrace the mainland market, but more than a decade has passed and their Mandarin is still terrible. You can tell how sincere they are.

"Of course, I understand." Wu Yuan said to Bosco Wong in a very kind tone: "Don't rush to make a decision. Even if we can't cooperate in the end, it doesn't matter."

Although he likes Bosco Wong very much, in today's film and television age, people don't really care too much about whether an actor stays or leaves. Wu Yuan just has this idea, and he will gladly accept it whether it succeeds or not.

Faced with such a kind and relaxed Wu Yuan, Bosco Wong was also very surprised and even a little moved.

You know, in Hong Kong, the directors are so arrogant. Some Hong Kong film and television dramas show directors grabbing actors and scolding them like gangster bosses. This is not exaggerated.

Directors in Hong Kong are really awesome. Directors like Johnnie To, Wong Jing, and Andrew Lau treat actors on the set exactly like gang bosses treat their underlings, beating and scolding them at any time.

This is also related to the fact that Hong Kong films were severely influenced by the underworld during their early stages and heyday.

Therefore, Bosco Wong, who was used to seeing the kind of "tyrannical" directors in Hong Kong Island, felt a little uncomfortable facing the soft-spoken Wu Yuan.

Originally, he thought that he would anger Wu Yuan if he did not agree directly but made excuses. He was mentally prepared to be scolded for being ungrateful.

At this point, Bosco Wong, who originally hadn't been able to make up his mind, had his heart tilted towards accepting the invitation to join Light and Shadow Times.

There's nothing I can do, he's just such an emotional man!

"I understand. I will think about it carefully!" Bosco Wong nodded firmly and decided to go back and talk to some senior executives in the circle to ask for their opinions.

Deep down, he also felt that instead of staying in this small market on Hong Kong Island which was destined to decline, it would be a good choice to completely turn to the mainland!

Receiving visits from several local actors from Hong Kong Island did not disrupt the normal filming schedule of "Doctor Strange", and the film is still being filmed in an orderly manner.

After almost using up all the 350 tons of rubble, the largest and most complex street battle scenes in the entire film were successfully filmed.

Unlike the original version, Wu Yuan's version of "Hong Kong Street Fight" has more lion dancing faces.

These dancing lions not only served as the background, but also performed a hilarious rendition of "lions running away" in the background when the wizards were fighting.

This can be considered a small easter egg in the movie.

As for the scene where Doctor Strange fights Dormammu after the street battle, it was actually filmed in New York. It was shot in a New York studio. Benedict kept repeating to a big guy in green clothes, "Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate," and the rest was left to the special effects.

The audience will see a fantastic and colorful psychedelic adventure, like a kaleidoscope, with time and space being materialized. After the filming in Hong Kong Island, the crew will continue to the next filming location, which is also the last location, London, England.

The crew will film some scenes about the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies in London here, as well as scenes with Master Mordo on the streets of London.

There are not many scenes in this part, which can be regarded as the finishing touches of the filming. After completing the filming in London, the crew can declare it a complete wrap and then start post-production.

It is so convenient to shoot for Marvel. Wu Yuan does not have to worry about anything in post-production. Marvel is responsible for the special effects and editing. They have made many Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and are more professional than Wu Yuan. Even many special effects are ready-made and the special effects company can use them directly.

This is also one of the reasons why "Doctor Strange" only took one year from filming to release. At least one-third of the special effects shots in the entire film can be picked up from previous Marvel movies and reused, which naturally saves a lot of post-production time.

Just like "The Wandering Earth 2" can use a lot of resources from "The Wandering Earth 1".

However, what surprised Wu Yuan was that after the "Doctor Strange" crew arrived in London, less than two days later, someone came to visit the set, and it was an unexpected person - Tom Holland!

That's the new Spider-Man.

Last June, Sony and Marvel announced that Tom Holland would play "Spider-Man" Peter Parker, and also officially confirmed that Spider-Man will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Before this news was announced, Tom Holland had actually officially started playing Spider-Man as early as May last year and joined the filming of "Captain America 3: Civil War".

However, although he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, neither Wu Yuan nor Benedict knew him, even though he and Benedict were both British actors.

The other actors in the crew didn't know him either. He just came to join in the fun because he knew a new Marvel movie was being filmed in London.

No wonder Tom Holland can become the new Spider-Man. His personality is really similar to Spider-Man, at least very similar to the new version of Spider-Man designed by Marvel. It can be said that he is playing himself.

It was a pleasant experience for the "Doctor Strange" crew to welcome such a young, energetic and outgoing actor to visit the set.

Tom Holland, who was born in 1996, is not yet 20 years old this year. Being with him makes Wu Yuan, a man in his thirties, feel a lot younger and more energetic.

Well, if you can ignore the fact that Tom Holland is like a curious baby, constantly asking a hundred thousand whys next to him.

However, Tom Holland's arrival did cause a small misunderstanding.

The crew of "Doctor Strange" has attracted much attention from entertainment journalists around the world. Since the filming of this movie started, there has been no shortage of paparazzi taking various Reuters photos from Nepal to New York to Hong Kong Island. After all, this movie involves a lot of street shooting, and it is easy for reporters to squat on the set.

The same thing happened in London.

So, when Tom Holland came to visit the set, he was immediately discovered by reporters who were taking photos with cameras on the buildings near the set, and was successfully misunderstood.

The next day, The Sun, Britain's largest entertainment newspaper, reported the news on its front page.
