director of the millennium

The news about Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei getting their marriage certificate was eventually overshadowed by new entertainment gossip on the Internet.

In this day and age, no matter how sensational or explosive something is, it will only stay popular on the Internet for three minutes. It is already difficult for the news about Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei to stay popular for five minutes. It is impossible for it to be on the lips of netizens for a long time.

Regardless of whether they accept it or not, one week is enough time for the majority of Chinese netizens to digest this news.

Even on foreign websites, the news of Wu Yuan's marriage was all over the screen. After all, Wu Yuan is very well-known abroad.

However, unlike in China, this news did not cause much sensation abroad. It was more like an announcement. Foreign netizens who noticed it just read it and knew about it.

After all, Wu Yuan is a director, and there won’t be any fans who would care whether he is married or not, even though he is very handsome.

Although Liu Yifei has a large number of fans in foreign countries and fan clubs in various countries, she has always been separated from her foreign fans, so the news of her marriage was easily accepted.

That is to say, some of her Japanese fans who are otakus did howl on the Japanese Internet for a while, but it had no impact on Liu Yifei who was in China, and she might not even know about it.

For Liu Yifei, all her energy is currently focused on the next work.

That is the preparation and shooting of the new movie "Time Raiders".

This movie is Su Lun's third work in the Light and Shadow Era. Su Lun's first two works were very mediocre. Compared with several directors who signed with the company at the same time as her, they were indeed a little inconspicuous.

In terms of box office, he is not as good as Li Yang, and in terms of awards, he cannot compare with Li Ruijun.

However, she did not lose money on her first two works. After all, the investment was only a few hundred million or tens of millions, so she managed to break even.

It was also for this reason that she was able to continue to receive investment from Guangying Times and come up with the script for the third film.

Li Xiaoping is not a person with a short-sighted vision, nor does she believe that all directors in the world will be as successful as Wu Yuan. Most directors have to experience several failures before they can produce mature works.

"Time Raiders" is Su Lun's mature work. At least from the script point of view, it is finally a qualified commercial film script.

The only thing that surprised Li Xiaoping was that Su Lun actually wanted Liu Yifei to play the leading female role. What was even more amazing was that Liu Yifei actually liked the script and agreed to star in it.

In Liu Yifei's own words, the script was quite interesting, and she had never acted in a comedy movie in all her years of debut, so she wanted to give it a try.

Well, "Time Raiders" can be considered a comedy, but it is a romantic comedy within comedy, and it also has a bit of science fiction flavor.

This movie tells the story of Gu Xiaojiao, a frustrated young woman from 2018, and Lu Ming, an unsuccessful young man from 1999, who accidentally live in the same room due to overlapping time and space, which leads to a series of ridiculous, bittersweet love stories.

Because she had never acted in this kind of humorous light comedy before, Liu Yifei was successfully persuaded when Su Lun personally came to her with the script.

Wu Yuan did not interfere in this, nor did he encounter any accidents.
Liu Yifei does seem like someone who would take on this kind of movie. After all, in the original time and space, she also had her eyes on the movie "The Second Generation of Fairies".
If we really compare them, "Time Travel Cohabitation" is definitely much better than "The Goblin II", whether in terms of box office, word of mouth, or the impression left on the audience. If we work hard, it shouldn't be a problem for this movie to break 10 billion RMB at the box office.

Liu Yifei also reduced her 2000 million yuan salary by 30% of the investment share. If the movie can really break 10 billion yuan at the box office, she can get a dividend of about 1.1 million yuan from this movie!
Over the years, the total salary she earned from acting is probably just this much, and it was mainly due to the Hollywood movies she took on in the last few years that paid her more.

You can make so much money just by making a movie, why would Wu Yuan interfere or obstruct it?

And Su Lun was very considerate. Perhaps because he wanted to invite Liu Yifei to perform when he was writing the script, he simply did not arrange a kissing scene in the script. In Wu Yuan's memory, there should have been a kissing scene in which Gu Xiaojiao bid farewell to Lu Ming (Lu Shiyi), which could be considered a parting kiss, but Su Lun changed it into a tearful hug.

This made Wu Yuan feel even less resentful.

After signing up Liu Yifei, the crew of "Super Time Cohabitation" began preparing for casting in April this year.

Not surprisingly, Su Lun finally chose Lei Datou and invited him to play the leading male role. The other supporting roles were the same as the original version that Wu Yuan remembered, with only the female lead Liu Yifei changing.

Liu Haoran was originally going to be asked to play the role of young Lu Ming, but due to funding issues, mainly because Liu Haoran's price was a bit too high, Su Lun simply changed the role to Lei Jiayin, who would play both roles at the same time.

After all, Su Lun is not a first-tier director in the era of light and shadow, and the funds she has cannot be squandered casually, and all of them must be used wisely.

It would be better to use the money to make the scene where the two homes in time and space merge in the movie more refined, to give it some science fiction appeal and to sell more movies at the box office.

In the past two years, the domestic film market has been very keen on "science fiction", thanks to Wu Yuan.

"So, you're going to Shanghai to join the crew to shoot this movie next week?" Wu Yuan, who was lazily doing nothing at home, watched Liu Yifei packing the things she needed for the crew and packing her luggage in an orderly manner. He scratched his head and asked reluctantly.

In recent months, he has been free from all work and has been staying at home every day with Liu Yifei, watching movies and playing games. They even found time to get a marriage certificate. Their life is quite comfortable. Now that his wife has to go back to work, he feels reluctant to let her go.

"Yeah." Liu Yifei's laziness was also brought out by Wu Yuan. She hadn't adjusted herself well in the past few days and hadn't gotten into work mode yet. She said lazily, "You, the head of the family, are staying at home and not working. If I, the mistress, don't work, then we'll have nothing to do."

"Tsk." Wu Yuan snorted, "The money I earn is enough for us to spend even if we mess up for ten lifetimes."

"But people do have to find something to do, otherwise they will become weak if they are idle all day long."

Wu Yuan stretched out his body, still in a lazy state: "There is no rush to prepare for the wedding, let's hold it next spring. It's something that only happens once in a lifetime, so we still have to prepare seriously."

"But before that, I have to find something to do. It's about time for me to rest for half a year. It turns out that I was born to be a hard worker. When I was busy with work, I thought about resting every day. But now that I have really rested for a while, I feel like working again."
