Chapter 303 Chen Kaige's Olive Branch

In September, the crew went to St. Vincent Island to shoot scenes at the port and pier. Every time the huge crew changed places, people would constantly come in and out.

But Wu Yuchen was specifically greeting someone who was coming.

"Honey~~咒咒, did you miss me?" A woman threw herself into Wu Yuchen's arms and grabbed him around the neck.

Wu Yuchen also hugged her and laughed loudly: "I think about it! I think about it every day, every night, I think about it day and night, I think about you so much that I can't sleep!"

The person in his arms was none other than Jiang Qinqin, who came to the set to visit him.

"I miss you so much too!" Jiang Qinqin, who was holding Wu Yuchen, was reluctant to let go. She tried her best to take a breath in his arms, sucking in his taste greedily.

Wu Yuchen stroked Jiang Qinqin's soft hair: "Then stay here for a little longer this time~"

Jiang Qinqin nodded in her arms, feeling that she felt at ease where he was.

The temperature on St. Vincent Island is 23-30 degrees all year round. The scenery is very beautiful and the sea breeze blows by. At this time, Jiang Qinqin was wearing a floral skirt and walking hand in hand with Wu Yuchen on the beach.

Normally, even after finishing the day's shooting, director Wu Yuchen has no time to spare. He has to sort out today's shooting materials, discuss the problems that arose during today's shooting, and discuss with various departments. Communicate with the person in charge and continuously adjust future shooting plans based on the shooting progress.

But when Jiang Qinqin arrived today, he naturally had to take time to spend time with the beautiful woman beside him.

Jiang Qinqin was walking barefoot on the beach, letting the shallow sea water wash her little feet: "The sea here is so beautiful!"

"No matter how beautiful I am, I can't be as beautiful as you~" Wu Yuchen said while squeezing Jiang Qinqin's hand.

"You will say nice things to coax me~" Jiang Qinqin said this, but the smile couldn't stop creeping onto her face. Then she couldn't help but ask:

"Husband, you have been filming for almost five months, right? How much longer will it take?"

Wu Yuchen sighed and said: "It's hard to say. If everything goes well, it will be by the end of the year. If it doesn't go well, it may be postponed until next year."

This time, the second and third parts of "The Pirate King" were shot consecutively. Although there are many scenes that can be shot together to save time, after all, they are two movies with a lot more content. In addition, "The Pirate King" is worthy of its name. It's a big production. The total production cost of the two movies is over 500 million US dollars. How can it be done as fast as you want?

And don’t forget, there are still a lot of special effects to be produced. Although some of them are already being done, the completion time of the entire special effects will definitely take longer than the shooting. If you think about it this way, if you want to release it in time for next summer, there is really no time to delay it.

When Jiang Qinqin heard this, she couldn't help but cast a somewhat resentful look. Although she could understand that Wu Yuchen was working on such a big project and had to work hard and couldn't help himself, she still wanted Wu Yuchen to spend more time with her.

Wu Yuchen smiled and hugged Jiang Qinqin's waist, and then said: "How about you stay with me until the end of the year?"

Jiang Qinqin snorted arrogantly: "How can I have so much free time!"

Wu Yuchen asked with a smile: "Hey, what is our Miss Qinqin busy with now? Tell me!"

Jiang Qinqin raised her chin and said, "You don't know, but there are many people begging me to film! Great director!"

"A great director? Are you as big as me?" Wu Yuchen laughed in a low voice.

Jiang Qinqin patted his hand angrily. How many directors can compare with Wu Yuchen now? He is already the undisputed number one Chinese director!

Then Jiang Qinqin said slightly proudly: "Chen Kaige! How are you doing?"

What? Chen Kaige?

When Wu Yuchen heard this, he was really a little surprised, and turned to look at Jiang Qinqin.

"Chen Kaige is looking for you? What are you filming?"

Seeing that it was beyond Wu Yuchen's expectations, Jiang Qinqin was quite satisfied and said with a smile:

"He said he was preparing to make a new fantasy action film with a romantic overtone, and he wanted to invite me to be the heroine in it! A stunning beauty who will captivate the entire country!"

A new fantasy action movie with a romantic twist? The stunning beauty who captivated the country?

Isn't this "The Promise" he's talking about? Let Jiang Qinqin play Qingcheng? What is this all about?

"You agreed?" Wu Yuchen asked quickly.

Seeing Wu Yuchen's frown, Jiang Qinqin thought he was unhappy, and quickly shook her head: "No, I told him that I wanted to think about it. Look, didn't I come to you to talk about this? "?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuchen directly pulled Jiang Qinqin into his arms, gently scratched Jiang Qinqin's soft areas with both hands, and said with a smile: "Okay! It turns out you didn't come to see me specifically!"

Jiang Qinqin immediately pouted: "No way! I just mentioned this in passing. If you don't like it, I will reject him immediately. Is that okay?"

Seeing Jiang Qinqin's appearance, Wu Yuchen scratched the bridge of her nose with his hand: "I'm just kidding you, why are you so angry?"

"I didn't lose my temper! I just came to see someone, but I was misunderstood..." Jiang Qinqin turned away as she spoke.

"Okay, okay, I misunderstood you~" Wu Yuchen coaxed with a smile.

Jiang Qinqin snorted slightly, still tilting her head.

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen simply took action, held her face, lowered his head and kissed her.

After a long while, their lips parted. Wu Yuchen raised his head and said with a smile: "Is the misunderstanding resolved?"

Jiang Qinqin panted slightly and said nothing.

Wu Yuchen didn't get a response, so he continued, "Not cancelled? Then let's try again!"

Jiang Qinqin quickly blocked him with her hand: "Cancelled, cancelled~"

Wu Yuchen smiled when he heard it, and then continued to hold her hand and continued to walk in the gentle sea breeze.

Then he asked as he walked: "Qinqin, do you want to accept Director Chen's invitation?"

Jiang Qinqin was silent for a while, and then asked Wu Yuchen: "Don't you want me to accept it?"

Hearing her ask this, Wu Yuchen knew that she probably still wanted to accept it.

Although netizens in later generations often tease Chen Kaizi, Kaizi's status in the circle has always been very high. Basically, no actor in the Chinese circle has refused his invitation.

However, Jiang Qinqin also knows that among the major domestic directors, she is definitely in Wu Yuchen's school. With her relationship with Wu Yuchen, if she wants to act in Kaizi's play, she must first inform Wu Yuchen.

But Wu Yuchen is thinking about Chen Kaizi, what does he want to do?

You have to know that although Chen Kaizi's previous performance was not obvious, Wu Yuchen could feel that he had been holding a grudge against him.

Since Wu Yuchen rose in the Chinese-speaking circle, Chen Kaizi has never attended his movie premieres, even if he was invited. It was quite like a king not meeting a king. This was completely treating him as a competitor!

But now, Chen Kaizi knew that Jiang Qinqin and he had a close relationship, and he still invited Jiang Qinqin to be his heroine. What signal did he want to send?

Is he... convinced?

Wu Yuchen didn't think that in the current situation, Chen Kaizi would do anything to disgust Wu Yuchen with Jiang Qinqin. There was only one thing, that he was showing goodwill to Wu Yuchen.

But Kaizi was a proud man after all. He had always regarded himself as a leader in Chinese-speaking films. Now he was asked to lower his face and bow to Wu Yuchen directly, he couldn't do it at all. Because he knew that Wu Yuchen knew his attitude towards him before.

So now Chen Kaizi is using this action to show his goodwill to Wu Yuchen. I have promised the heroine to your woman, isn't that enough to express my attitude?

Thinking of this, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but laugh. Kaizi, to some extent, is really an old arrogant!

Jiang Qinqin didn't know what Wu Yuchen was laughing at, but she only heard him continue to ask the next moment:

"Qinqin, Director Chen's movie, you can take it if you want, but you have to tell me what the story is first? Is there a script? If the quality is good, then I will definitely support you!"

Jiang Qinqin couldn't help showing joy when she heard Wu Yuchen's words, but the next moment she looked a little embarrassed: "Director Chen said that his script has not been completed yet, so he gave me a rough description. To be honest, I didn't quite understand it!"

Then, Jiang Qinqin told Wu Yuchen about Chen Kaige's description, what slaves, what generals, what goddesses, what princes and princesses, what little boys and girls, what steamed buns and desires, what human nature and greed...

In short, even Jiang Qinqin herself felt that it was a mess, and she couldn't understand what was going on at all.

Wu Yuchen smiled and shook his head, then said:

"Let's not talk about anything else. From your perspective as the heroine, I guess, well, just my guess, Director Chen probably wants to tell the story of a poor child Qingcheng who meets a goddess and is told that she can get everything in the world, but she must pay with her love. Under the choice between love and fate, Qingcheng went through untold hardships, but eventually lost everything.

Through your perspective, we can show the impermanence of fate and the greatness of love, and let the audience think about the relationship between fate and choice, and whether people should bravely pursue their true love."

"Ah? You can understand this?!" Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but stare at Wu Yuchen with wide eyes.

Then she couldn't help but hug Wu Yuchen's arm, looked at Wu Yuchen's face with admiration and said: "Husband, you are really amazing, you are worthy of being a great director, like me, I was confused after listening for a long time! It seems that my level is too far behind, or you great directors have a common language!"

Hearing Jiang Qinqin's words, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but laugh.

But then, Wu Yuchen said to Jiang Qinqin: "Don't praise me yet, I told you, I personally don't think highly of Director Chen's new movie."

"Why?" Jiang Qinqin was a little strange again.

Wu Yuchen shook his head and sighed: "Let's not talk about the subsequent shooting and technical issues, from the starting point and intention, Director Chen's heart is too big!"

Seeing that Jiang Qinqin was still very confused, Wu Yuchen continued to explain to her in detail: "I just talked about it from the perspective of your role, but Director Chen's movie also has many roles such as slaves, generals, princes, and goddesses.

From what Director Chen told you, he wants to give everyone a certain connotation and express a theme. But he has not come up with a very logical story so far, which can connect these characters and make the themes of each character not conflict with each other, so you will feel very confused and it is difficult to understand what he wants to do."

Hearing Wu Yuchen say this, Jiang Qinqin understood a little: "You mean, Director Chen's script may collapse?"

Wu Yuchen smiled at him with appreciation:

"Other people's movies only have one theme. The three-hour "Titanic" is mainly about love, with humanity and freedom as supplements. But Director Chen wants to do so many things at once. He is a bit too ambitious...

I don't know if it will collapse, but he wants to make a story that integrates all these things. I think it will be difficult!"

Directors are creatures that have many ideas when they create. If ordinary directors can't control it, they will choose to give up and distinguish the main from the secondary. But how proud is Kaizi? Will he choose to give up? That's definitely impossible!

Jiang Qinqin is naturally convinced by Wu Yuchen's judgment and will not have any doubts. Therefore, she now had a difficult look on her face: "Well, if that's the case, I'd better not act. But how can I refuse Director Chen?"

Wu Yuchen said directly: "What's the matter? Just refuse it as you should, just say you don't want to act."

Jiang Qinqin said coquettishly: "Do you think I'm your great director Wu! I said I've considered it, but you turned around and refused again. There must be a suitable reason!"

Wu Yuchen smiled and shook his head. Do you think people value your attitude? You are just a tool to convey goodwill. What people really value is my attitude!

I didn't worry about that much, but you are in a dilemma...

At this time, Jiang Qinqin seemed to suddenly think of something, and smiled at Wu Yuchen and said: "Husband, I have a good reason. I will tell him that I want to take your play and I don't have time, so I can only reject him!"

Then she hugged Wu Yuchen's arm, staring at Wu Yuchen's face with her big eyes without blinking: "Husband, what do you think of my reason?"

Wu Yuchen lowered his head slightly, looked at Jiang Qinqin, and then walked forward slowly, shaking his head as he walked.

Jiang Qinqin also followed him and asked, "Honey, what do you think?"

Wu Yuchen shook his head and sighed, "Oh, you've grown up! You're playing tricks on me!"

Jiang Qinqin's eyes drifted, and then she asked innocently, "Honey, what tricks are you talking about? Why don't I understand~"

Wu Yuchen smiled and glanced at her, "Pretend, just keep pretending. But if you pretend not to understand, then I will pretend not to understand too!"

When Jiang Qinqin said that just now, he finally understood that after a roundabout way, she was using Chen Kaige's invitation to attack herself!

Look at the reason she found to reject Kaizi, to be the heroine of her own movie, this is already a blatant indication!
