director of the millennium

"Filming a TV series?"

"It's not suitable for you"

Liu Yifei looked at her husband with an indescribable expression.

To be honest, although she also started out as a TV drama director, in her impression, there is indeed a huge gap between TV drama directors and film directors.

It’s not that TV drama directors are inferior to movie directors. Rather, although both TV dramas and movies are made for the audience, they can be said to be two different fields and shooting styles.

A good TV drama director may not be able to make good movies, and similarly, a good movie director may not be able to make TV dramas. The shooting of the two is actually completely different.

The mystery is very complicated. We can only say that it is more difficult for a film director to become a TV director than for an actor to become a director.
Therefore, Liu Yifei doesn’t think it’s a good thing for her husband to film a TV series, even though he has made outstanding achievements in the film industry.

"TV series often have dozens of episodes, the rhythm is completely different from movies, and the focus is also different from movies. If you want to shoot a TV series, it will be difficult to adapt, right?"

"This is a challenge!" Wu Yuan smacked his lips and said with interest: "Wang Jiawei can go to film "Fang Hua", I can also try to film a TV series, it feels quite interesting."

In Wu Yuan's opinion, it is indeed difficult for a TV director to switch to making movies, but it is not impossible for a movie director to switch to making TV series.

Although Liu Yifei denied it, Wu Yuan thought in his heart that a film director is still a higher level than a TV drama director, and going to make a TV drama can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack.

After all, he is a film director, so he must be striving to improve his own ambitions and to reduce the prestige of others. He doesn't think from the bottom of his heart that a film director like him cannot handle TV dramas.

This is the noble character of people in the industry, and it is inevitable.

Speaking of which, in that life in his dream, he never had the chance to see the feature film of "Fanghua". He only knew that the film started shooting in September 2020, but it was not completed until he woke up from his dream. It took almost 9 years to round it off.

Normally, 4-5 months is considered long for a TV series to shoot, but "The King of Sunglasses" took a full year and four months, which can be considered a long production.

But since he is the King of Sunglasses, it makes sense!

This made him want to make a TV series for fun. He is brave enough to try new things!

"Light and Shadow Times has basically stopped making TV series in recent years, but Light and Shadow Kuaibo is making a big push for TV series."

"I can go to Guangying Kuaibo and have a look. If there is a suitable script, it is possible to shoot it."

Wu Yuan rested his chin on his hand and looked at his wife. He remembered that in the time and space in his dream, it seemed that his wife had returned to the field of TV dramas in 2020 and filmed a "Dream of Red Mansions". It seemed that she had also joined the crew of an urban drama, but Wu Yuan didn't know what drama it was. After all, in the time and space in his dream, he and Liu Yifei had nothing to do with each other.

But "Dream of Splendor" is a drama produced by Tencent, and Wu Yuan in that life in the dream has a very good relationship with Tencent. He can almost be regarded as a director supported by Tencent. I heard from Tencent that it is an S+ level ancient idol drama, and it was only after a lot of hard work that Liu Yifei was cast.

The problem is that this drama is a costume drama, and it is also told from a female perspective, so it doesn’t seem appropriate for me to shoot it myself.

The brief thought flashed through his mind, and Wu Yuan did not continue on this topic, but casually changed the subject: "Bruce Lee will be released in mainland China during the Spring Festival. Let's go to the cinema to watch it together then." "After all, it's a movie directed by me, so I still have to go to the cinema to support it."

Although "Bruce Lee" was not released in mainland China, Liu Yifei had already watched the Blu-ray version on the Internet. After all, it was her husband's movie.

But she is also happy to go to the theater with her husband again. "Yes, it is better to watch the movie on the big screen. I think it will be more exciting to watch the fighting scenes on the big screen."

"Then go back during the Chinese New Year and bring your aunt, cousin and their families with you?"

"Okay!"

Liu Yifei smiled and raised her daughter's hand. She said in a deliberately low voice, "Qingqing, why don't you come with us when the time comes, to accompany mom and the aunts?"

Little sister Wu Qingqing, who could not even speak complete sentences, had no idea what her mother was saying. She thought her mother was playing with her, so she showed her two big front teeth and kept calling "Mama, Mama" happily.

When she first returned home, Qingqing felt a little unfamiliar with her parents because they had been in the group for a long time. But after spending the past few days with them, she has "reconciled" with them again and is smiling every day.

"Qingqing can walk now. Time flies so fast. It feels like she was just born, but now she is over one year old." Looking at his daughter's lively appearance, Wu Yuan somehow lost the desire to film a TV series that he had just felt.

Instead of joining the crew to film for several months at a time, missing my daughter's precious growth period and not being able to be with her, it would be better to stop working and stay at home to accompany my daughter as she grows up.

Anyway, he has made enough money now and has no shortage of honors. Even if he doesn't make movies in the next few years or even ten years, his three companies will continue to generate profits, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

"Oh, I'm a little bit thinking about retirement." Wu Yuan said, "Now I just want to stay at home and take care of my child, accompany her as she grows up, and record her life."

Hearing what he said, Liu Yifei rolled her eyes in annoyance and said that women are fickle. But this man is even more fickle than women. He wants to make trouble one second and wants to retire the next.

There is no need to bother with him!

Picking up the child, Liu Yifei walked into the house, "My dear daughter, let's go. Ignore your mentally ill father and go take a nap."

"Hey, I just made fun of it when I had free time." Wu Yuan slapped his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and was speechless about his own fickleness.

In this way, time passes day after day in this calm but not boring life, as if the accelerator key was pressed, and January 2021 passed quickly without any incident.

Wu Yuan's family in Beijing are also preparing to return to Jiangcheng to visit relatives and celebrate the New Year.

On February 2021, 2, the 8th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Yuan and his family took off in the morning on a Times private jet and landed at Jiangcheng International Airport before the afternoon.

After arriving at the airport safely, the family left the airport from the terminal dedicated to private jets, using the VIP channel the entire way, not giving any paparazzi or fans a chance to react. They then got into the car that came to pick them up and headed to Liu Yifei's grandmother's house.

"Private jets are more comfortable. Not only are they a good ride, but they are also much more convenient and offer more privacy." Liu Xiaoli, who was riding a private jet for the first time, smiled happily and said with great satisfaction while holding her granddaughter. (End of this chapter)
