director of the millennium

"It is impossible to have feelings."

"Mulan is different from other princess movies. Emotion is not the main theme of this movie."

"Although there is love, it is just the unrequited love of two men for her. Only at the end will Hua Mulan accept the pursuit of one of them."

"Kissing scene? Don't even think about it! The battlefield is not for romance!"

"Yes, just write about unrequited love. The character played by Allen Chu is the Mr. Right!"

Liu Yifei walked back and forth holding her child, and couldn't help smiling as she watched her husband having a video conference with the screenwriter team.

She waited until the video conference was over before she chuckled, "I'm talking to you, you're already a father, why are you still so childish?"

"Who is childish?" Wu Yuan glared at her in annoyance. "This script really doesn't fit too many love scenes. Two men chasing one woman, a love triangle, it's too melodramatic."

"Yes, yes, you are right." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes. She was too lazy to argue with her husband and coaxed her daughter, "Baby, don't learn from your father."

Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows indifferently.

He has a reason to be so naive.

Who asked netizens to discuss the plot of "Mulan" recently? Especially after the cast list was announced, there were all kinds of speculations, and some even wanted to write the script themselves.

Something like Hua Mulan, played by Liu Yifei, was accidentally spotted by her comrades, played by Hu Ge and Huang Xiaoming, while secretly bathing in the lake, recreating the classic scene of Zhao Linger bathing. Then the two of them fell in love with her and couldn't stop, starting a journey to chase her.

Such "plots" are everywhere on Weibo, and Wu Yuan is so angry when he sees them.

He would never shoot such an ordinary and unoriginal melodramatic love story!
"Mulan" is about who says women are inferior to men! It's not about shy love!
It is not a romantic love comedy where a prince meets a princess.

This is a costume war blockbuster disguised as a princess movie!

Yes, it's a war!
There is no room for love in war!
It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the heroine is his wife!

Well, sometimes it's interesting for men to be a little childish.
"How is your closed training going?" After his mind was wandering, Wu Yuan came back to his senses and began to ask his wife about her recent training progress.

The closed training has already started for a week. Although it is called closed training, it does not really require the actors to stay at the film and television base all the time. It is just like going to school. After five days of training a week, there will still be two days of vacation.

Hu Ge, Huang Xiaoming and others can go home to see their girlfriends, wives and so on, and Liu Yifei can also go home to see her husband and children.

Well, not to mention Huang Xiaoming’s wife, it’s a well-known fact inside and outside the circle, but the fact that Hu Ge has a girlfriend is really known to few people inside and outside the circle.

Even Wu Yuan didn’t know, not even in his two lifetimes!

It was because of their recent frequent contact, and the fact that Liu Yifei was training equestrianism and martial arts with Hu Ge, that Hu Ge revealed the news to Liu Yifei, and then Wu Yuan found out.

When he first learned about this, he was so shocked!

It’s hidden so well!

If Hu Ge didn't say anything, it would probably be revealed when they got married and had children. Of course, Wu Yuan wasn't the kind of person who would gossip. After knowing this, he pretended not to know anything and only talked about it with Liu Yifei occasionally when they were at home.

"When you were filming 'Your Name', you were all 17 or 18-year-old boys and girls. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you all got married and had children. Even the most backward Hu Ge has a girlfriend." Wu Yuan said with emotion.

When "Your Name" was filmed, several main actors, including Liu Yifei, Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Luo Jin, Zhu Yawen and others who were still developing in the circle are now all married.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and those young boys who were 17 or 18 years old back then have all become husbands and fathers.

Wu Yuan, who usually doesn't feel the changes of time, feels very emotional whenever he thinks of this.

"I'm getting old." He murmured to himself.

"You're only five years older than me." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes again, "Don't act like an old man all day long."

"People say that men are in their prime at 41. There are a lot of fans of yours on Weibo now. They leave messages on my Weibo every day, asking me to stop hiding this handsome old man like you."

This is a true story. Wu Yuan seldom posts on Weibo, let alone selfies, so Wu Yuan's fans can only hang out on Liu Yifei's Weibo most of the time, because Liu Yifei occasionally posts some photos of her and Wu Yuan's life, most of which are candid shots of daily life.

Because she is not the kind of star who posts live photos very often, so every time she does, there will be a bunch of Wu Yuan’s fans shouting under her Weibo, saying that she finally let her husband out to meet everyone.

There's nothing we can do about it. Wu Yuan rarely appears on variety shows, and doesn't do any pictorial shoots, so it's difficult for anyone to see him.

Many of Wu Yuan’s fans lamented that their “husband” was hidden by Liu Yifei.

Yes, Wu Yuan has fans who like his looks. After all, in this era, appearance is justice. He has been handsome since he was young and his appearance is one of the best in the actor circle, so naturally he has no shortage of fans who like his looks.

"It's true that you're not as good as you used to be." Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said ambiguously, "We used to do it all night long, but now it's not possible. You're tired after two or three times. You know this best."

"What are you talking about!" Liu Yifei blushed and said, "The child is still here, and you are talking nonsense here. You are becoming more and more shameless!"

The only response she got was Wu Yuan's shameless laughter.

The days passed peacefully one after another.

After resting for two days, Liu Yifei returned to the film and television base and carried out martial arts training according to the requirements of the Sang Lin team, maintaining a rhythm of training for five days and resting for two days.

Time quickly came to September 9, and the 12th Venice International Film Festival came to a close with its closing ceremony held on the Lido Island in Venice.

A total of 18 films were shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's film festival, and another 19 films and 12 short films participated in the Horizon unit selection.

In the end, the American film "Nomadland" directed by Chinese director Zhao Ting won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at this year's film festival.

What is even more noteworthy is that the Hong Kong-born Chinese director Zhang Guorong won the first Best Director trophy in the three major film festivals in his life at the Venice Lido Island.

Just five minutes after he went on stage to receive the award, a photo of Zhang Guorong holding the Silver Lion with his arms outstretched standing on the podium was sent back to China and became the number one trending search on Weibo! (End of this chapter)
