Millennium director

The matter of Young You was temporarily settled in a few words between Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei.

However, this is just words.

The specific shooting time, schedule, and casting plans have not been finalized yet.

Although Wu Yuan only needs to be busy with post-production on Interstellar, he definitely won't have time this year.

He was really busy in the second half of the year.

After attending the Venice Film Festival and Paris Fashion Week, Wu Yuan will go to the United States to see the post-production of Interstellar for a month, and then return to China to attend the Golden Rooster Awards on October 17.

After participating in Golden Rooster, he has to continue to return to the United States for post-production of Interstellar and strive to complete it before the year.

As for next year, that is, 2010, Wu Yuan's original plan was to take a break for at least half a year.

In the past two years, he has made three movies. Wu Yuan has become a little tired and needs some time to rest and recharge.

Perhaps in the second half of 2010, he can plan to start filming Young You and continue to maintain his shooting pace of one Chinese film every two years.

Wu Yuan put his arm around Liu Yifei's shoulders, and the two of them leaned on the bed.

I'll write the script after a while. You can try to figure it out more first, try to experience it in life, and see if you can find the feeling of shooting.

As for now, let's finish the work in front of us first.

Sleep and take a stroll around Lido Island tomorrow. I haven't taken a good tour of this beautiful island yet.

The next day, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei separated from the Chinese Legion and started their vacation in Venice alone.

Without leaving too far, the two of them just played around Lido Island, where the Venice International Film Festival is held, and experienced the Mediterranean style of Venice.

In the past few years, Wu Yuan had been busy with work, but he really didn't stop to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the world.

This year he actually took a lot of time to play with Liu Yifei in Canada, Venice, and then Paris.

Not to mention, sometimes proper relaxation can indeed relieve a lot of negative emotions.

However, the happy time is always short-lived.

After playing for two days, the Venice Film Festival also ushered in the opening ceremony.

Although Wu Yuan did not have any works to participate this year, as an officially invited award guest, he also had to walk on the red carpet.

Originally, he wanted to bring Liu Yifei with him as a female companion.

Although Venice is not like Cannes, even if domestic actresses have no works, they still want to go to the Cannes red carpet to get a high-exposure opportunity.

The so-called carpet star trend comes from Fan Xiaopang and others who still show up on the red carpet in Cannes even though they have no works.

But Venice, as one of the three major cities in Europe, is obviously also a place that mainland actresses flock to. If you have the chance, you must visit the red carpet.

However, Liu Yifei is not an ordinary person. She does not want to be a carpet star. She will never participate in any film festivals or award shows without a film.

Wu Yuan naturally appreciated her idea and did not force it. He stepped onto the red carpet alone.

For the European reporters at the scene, Wu Yuan was also an old acquaintance. The flashlights kept flashing along the way, leaving a long list of red carpet photos. In five minutes, these photos were spread throughout Europe.

Because there is a bit of a stalemate between the three major European companies and Hollywood this year, and because no Hollywood-produced film was shortlisted for the main competition this year, almost no big Hollywood stars and directors attended this year's Venice International Film Festival. .

Wu Yuan, winner of the Venice Golden Lion and a major director of Hollywood commercial films, is already considered the most influential and famous guest attending the Venice Film Festival this year.

For him, even if his works are not shortlisted for this year's Venice International Film Festival, his participation in this film festival is not just to ride on the red carpet, but to build momentum for this year's Venice International Film Festival and increase his influence. It is half a piece of ballast. stone.

This is the power of a top director.

Even a top international film festival like Venice needs a top director like Wu Yuan to back it up.

Of course, without the Golden Lion Award awarded by Venice, Wu Yuan would not have become a truly top director. It can only be said that they have achieved mutual success.

Therefore, Wu Yuan was very proud of the Venice Film Festival. Not only did he stay on the red carpet for enough time for the media to take photos, but he also praised the films that were shortlisted for this year's Venice Film Festival.

“It’s great to see so many excellent films shortlisted for the main competition this year.”

I believe that Venice will get better and better year by year, and more outstanding filmmakers will be seen by audiences around the world through this platform.

Of course, I also hope that more excellent Chinese-language films will be picked up by Venice and compete with top filmmakers from around the world.

I can't wait to present the award to the best actor!

He will be the chairman of the Venice jury the year after next, so he must say more good things about Venice!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, some on-site media also enthusiastically interviewed Wu Yuan.

Daniel, do you have any plans for your new art film?

Daniel, you have only shot foreign language commercial films. Have you ever thought about shooting a foreign language artistic film?

A very interesting question. Wu Yuan smiled and pointed at the reporter who asked the question, and responded generously: There will be opportunities in the future.

In my opinion, there is no difference between foreign-language films and Chinese-language films. I have never made a foreign-language literary film before, but I just didn't have the right opportunity.

There will definitely be opportunities to shoot in the future.

As for my new film plan, as you know, a good literary film needs inspiration. Unfortunately, I don't have much inspiration now, so I may focus on the commercial film market in the next two years.

My new movie Interstellar has completed shooting and has entered the intensive post-production stage. It is expected to be released in the first half of next year.

This is a film that is both commercial and artistic. It will be released on a large scale around the world. I hope everyone can help me promote it.

Seizing this opportunity, Wu Yuan did not forget to promote his new movie in Venice, an occasion that attracts the attention of global film media.

Although there are conflicts between the European and North American film circles, this only affects the upper class. Ordinary audiences in the middle and lower classes still watch whatever they want. Hollywood has conquered the European film market for a long time.

The reporters at the scene were also very considerate, nodding their heads and saying that they would pay attention to Wu Yuan's new movie and write promotional articles for him.

Thank you everyone! Wu Yuan was like spring breeze, with a bright smile and finally waved to the reporters on both sides of the red carpet: I won't waste time on the red carpet, the next guest should be arriving soon.

See you at the closing ceremony!
