director of the millennium

Chapter 94 Heroine? !

On the playground of the Film Academy.

Liu Yifei clasped her hands in front of her body and kept rubbing, lowered her head with an expression of admitting her mistake, and followed behind Wu Yuan.

After Liu Yifei explained the general content and circumstances of the two films to Wu Yuan, he really couldn't help but complain.

"Do you still need two months of Peking Opera training?"

"Do you think this is "Farewell My Concubine"?"

"After two months of singing, body and drama performances, the film turned out to be a youth romance film, telling the story of a mainland girl and a Taiwanese boy dating online?"

"Then what are you doing practicing Peking Opera for two months? It's a waste of time!"

"There is also that one in "Love Winner". Xiao Xuanfeng is very handsome, but are his acting skills good enough for the big screen?"

"The audience won't spend money to go to the cinema to watch his movies for the sake of face. His face is not that big."

"The most important thing is that none of the two films are reliable from the screenwriter to the director."

"Even if you accept it, it's a complete waste of time. If you take it, it will be the same as if you didn't take it. It will delay your studies and it will not help your own reputation."

Even from today's perspective, these two Baodao movies are definitely not good projects.

The script didn't hit the spot, the director was third-rate and unknown, and the actors were all idols. From the project preparation stage, there was a strong street flavor.

There is no need for Wu Yuan, who has future memories, but anyone who has made achievements in the film field can see these problems.

After complaining fiercely, Wu Yuan stopped in his tracks, turned around and patted Liu Yifei's shoulder earnestly: "Student Yifei, actors don't just pick up every show they come to."

"It's better to take care of your feathers."

Liu Yifei raised her head and looked at Wu Yuan's serious expression, she nodded half-understanding: "I see, senior brother."

What is Wu Yuan's identity?

He said that the scripts of these two films are not good, the directors are unreliable, and the actors are not good enough. It must be reasonable, and Liu Yifei can only listen obediently.

"Brother, just call me Qianxi." She smiled sweetly, and said, "This is my nickname."

"When I was very young, the movie "Sissi" was very popular in China. My mother gave me this nickname after watching the movie."

"Growing up, my relatives and friends have always called me this."

Wu Yuan put down his hand, nodded casually, turned around and continued walking on the playground.

"Princess Sissi", he has also seen it.

An Austrian classic film, translated and dubbed by the Magic City Translation Factory in 1988, set off a movie-watching boom when it was released in China.

But he didn't take it to heart, but was thinking about another thing.

At present, Liu Yifei is the most suitable actor to play the heroine of "Your Name".

Among the current mainland actors, if you want to find an actor who can play the role of a high school girl, Liu Yifei is certainly the most suitable.

She is under 16 years old, which is her biggest advantage!

If she went to film those two bad films about Treasure Island, where would Wu Yuan find the heroine?

Originally, Wu Yuan was not in a hurry about "The Name of You", thinking that it would not be too late to discuss with the actors after "Romeo and Juliet" was finished.

Because of the male lead and other supporting roles, Wu Yuan hasn't decided who to play.

But now it seems that Wu Yuan still has to talk to Liu Yifei first.

Otherwise, her mother might really be able to follow these two movies.

Thinking of Liu Yifei's mother gave Wu Yuan a headache.

This Aunt Liu really loves her daughter, and she really protects her very well, but the vision of this film selection is really bad.
No, I can't blame Liu's mother. In fact, there is not much room for actors to choose when they take on a role. Good scripts are not so easy to find.

For a celebrity like Liu Yifei, it is difficult to get a good movie script handed to her, and she has no qualifications to be picky. It would be nice to have a movie to act in.

It’s no wonder that Liu’s mother is so excited about these two movies.

Being able to play the leading role in a movie at the age of 16 is a rare opportunity!
After thinking about this, Wu Yuan sighed, looked directly into Liu Yifei's clear and bright eyes, and said in a calm tone:

"Sissy, senior brother will tell you the truth."

"Your image and age are perfect for playing the leading role in my next movie."

"However, there are still some shortcomings in your acting skills."

"So I hope you will take this rehearsal of 'Romeo and Juliet' seriously and enrich and improve your acting skills."

"During this summer vacation, you come to be the heroine for me, and we will make an excellent movie together."

"Isn't this better than making those two Treasure Island movies?"

"Really?!" Liu Yifei had a bright smile on his face, looking at Wu Yuan with sparkling eyes.

Being stared at so directly by a young, beautiful and good-looking girl, Wu Yuan was also in a daze for a moment.

Before I knew it, half a year had passed.

Liu Yifei has grown taller again, and the baby fat on her face has also faded, and she looks more like the fairy in Wu Yuan's impression.

I have to admit that looking at the fairy's smiling face from a close distance is indeed quite beautiful.

"Well, really." Wu Yuan avoided Liu Yifei's sight and coughed dryly, trying to cover up his gaffe just now.

It's just that he didn't notice that the corners of Liu Yifei's mouth, which was already smiling brightly, seemed to be raised higher, and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were narrowed into a slit when smiling.

She looked at Wu Yuan with a smile on her face, until Wu Yuan met her gaze again, then made a gesture of "refueling" with one hand, puffed out her mouth, and said energetically:

"I understand, brother! I will work hard!"

That night, at Liu Yifei's home.

"Really? Director Wu really said that?" Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter in surprise, with an unbelievable expression on her face.

As soon as Liu Yifei got home, she told her mother everything about her chat with Wu Yuan today.

Liu Xiaoli understands Wu Yuan's disdain for those two Taiwan movies.

Wu Yuan's status and level, the movies he can catch eyes with, literary and artistic films must have the potential to win awards, and commercial films must be at the Hollywood level.

Liu Xiaoli doesn't think it's a problem that Wu Yuan doesn't like these two movies, but at the same time, she doesn't think that Wu Yuan doesn't like it, which means Liu Yifei shouldn't be acting.

For Liu Yifei, if there is an opportunity to act in a movie, she must seize it. At least she must first establish her identity as a "movie actor".

There is no such thing as box office poison in mainland China these days, after all, everyone’s movies are not doing well at the box office.
As long as Liu Yifei can firmly establish her identity as a "movie actor", then even if the film path is opened, it will be better than staying in the field of TV dramas!
What mainly surprised and disbelieved her was that Wu Yuan actually invited Liu Yifei to participate in his next movie!
Although Liu Yifei said that her acting skills still need to be practiced before she can get the heroine, but when Liu Xiaoli heard this, it was almost a default meaning.

Wu Yuan has personally led her to rehearse dramas, are you afraid that her acting skills will not be perfected?

It's just that, Wu Yuan, who can get along well in Hollywood, why should Liu Yifei, who is so good at acting, want to use her as the heroine of a movie?
You know, the last batch of domestic actors who collaborated with Wu Yuan, the male lead was Zhang Guorong, and although the female lead was a bit inferior, her husband was called Chen Kaige!

Liu Xiaoli frowned, looking up and down at her daughter.

Although in her heart, her daughter is a treasure, and she will definitely become a great actor with excellent acting skills in the future.

But the current Liu Yifei really needs to grow and grow, and he is still far away from this goal.

In her opinion, Liu Yifei's current level is really not up to par with a top director like Wu Yuan.

On the contrary, the two films of Baodao are the books that Liu Yifei can receive at this level.
Now Wu Yuan is actually willing to take her personally, train her acting skills, and even give her a play date?

Seeing her daughter's increasingly stunning face and figure, Liu Xiaoli said hesitantly: "Qi Qian, Director Wu probably likes you?"

"Although Director Wu is not very old either"

"But you are still young and it is inappropriate to consider these things now."

"Ah?!" Liu Yifei, who was immersed in cooking, raised her head in astonishment, she didn't care to lick the rice grains at the corner of her mouth, she patted her chopsticks, and said in embarrassment, "Mom, what are you talking about!"

"No such thing!"
