Chapter 304 Unrewarded Kindness

Wu Yuchen sighed in his heart. He really didn't realize that this girl's acting skills are so good now. It's funny that he just gave her a long-winded analysis...

Her target is not Chen Kaizi!

Wu Yuchen ignored Jiang Qinqin who was shaking his arm beside him, and shook his head and sighed.

"Hubby~I'm really not pretending! I just had the urge just now..."

Wu Yuchen said with a smile: "Qinqin, why are you beating around the bush with me? Why don't you tell me the truth?"

Jiang Qinqin heard this and no longer acted innocent: "I just want to be your heroine. Which actress doesn't want to be your heroine?"

Wu Yuchen said: "Weren't you the heroine in "The Blade of the Assassin" last year? You have been promoted all over the world~"

"I..."

Jiang Qinqin paused, and then said with a little grievance: "I still don't have any decent awards. Not to mention winning the best actress award, the movies I made haven't won any major awards!"

Wu Yuchen now understood Jiang Qinqin's real thoughts. Apart from the short film "Car 44", the movies in which he used Jiang Qinqin as the heroine, from the initial "The Night the Comet Came", "If Love Has Destiny", to "Brotherhood of Blades", were all aimed at commercial and box office, and really did not win any important awards.

The heroines of the literary and artistic movies that Wu Yuchen really won awards in, "Mr. Donkey", "Love", and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", all used Gong Li. And "Run Lola Run", used Li Xiaoran, and helped her win the Best Actress Award at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, which is a very impressive honor in the Chinese film industry.

At this time, Jiang Qinqin continued, "I didn't force you to make me the heroine. I know you are busy now, so I was very moved when I received Director Chen's invitation. Even if he is not as good as you, it is a good opportunity for me. But you said his film is not good, so I won't act. That's why I suddenly remembered to mention it to you~"

Wu Yuchen smiled and pinched her cheeks: "I didn't say anything to you, why are you wronged?"

Jiang Qinqin turned her head away: "I'm not wronged!"

Wu Yuchen hugged her and said: "Tsk tsk, look at your pouting mouth~Okay, okay, smile~"

Jiang Qinqin gave Wu Yuchen a fake smile with her teeth bared, and turned her head away again.

Wu Yuchen laughed and said, "Isn't it the heroine? Of course there is one!"

Jiang Qinqin's ears perked up immediately when she heard Wu Yuchen sighing:

"But now, I'm exhausted from filming every day, and I'm under great mental pressure. The beautiful lady next to me is also angry with me. How can I have the desire to create!"

Jiang Qinqin immediately patted his arm: "Who is angry with you?"

"Yeah, yeah, no one is angry with me~ But I'm uncomfortable now, I can't cheer up at all, what do you say?"

Jiang Qinqin twisted her face proudly again: "How do I know what to do?"

Wu Yuchen sighed immediately: "Heroine, heroine, big prize, big prize! I don't know which one I want!"

Seeing Wu Yuchen's look, Jiang Qinqin knew that he was teasing her, but she couldn't help but pull his arm: "You, what do you say?"

Wu Yuchen leaned his head forward and pointed at his face. Jiang Qinqin naturally knew what he meant. She chuckled and hummed, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face.

However, Wu Yuchen hadn't finished yet. He turned his face and pointed to the other side. Seeing this, Jiang Qinqin stood on tiptoe and kissed him again.

When Wu Yuchen pointed to her lips again, Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but hit his chest: "Ah! Are you done~"

"Okay, okay! Hahaha~" Wu Yuchen smiled and stopped teasing Jiang Qinqin. He hugged her and walked forward slowly.

Wu Yuchen said as he walked: "It's definitely not going to work this year. Let's wait until next year. Then I'll let you be the heroine, and we'll go for the big prize again!"

Jiang Qinqin's head had already tilted on Wu Yuchen's shoulder, with a smile on her lips. Now she could really say to Director Chen that she refused with confidence. She wanted to be the heroine of Wu Yuchen's new play!

Then Jiang Qinqin smiled and said to Wu Yuchen: "Don't say I forced you to do this. I'm very hot right now!"

Wu Yuchen asked cooperatively: "Oh? Besides Director Chen, are there any other people who are chasing you to send you invitations?"

"Of course! There are many! Let me tell you, after the broadcast of "My Fair Princess 3" last month, everyone was crying and shouting for me to go back to play Ziwei! Even Aunt Qiong Yao called me and begged me to go back to save the "My Fair Princess" series~"

Wu Yuchen couldn't help laughing when he heard this. The first two parts of "My Fair Princess" had such a huge impact that the third part changed the main cast. Whether it was Huang Yi's Xiaoyanzi or Ma Yili's Ziwei, they were no match for Zhao Yanzi and Jiang Qinqin. As a result, the audience cursed and the reputation of the show hit the bottom. A group of viewers shouted that they would rather watch "My Fair Princess" 1 and 2 a hundred times than watch "My Fair Princess 3" again.

Wu Yuchen asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Jiang Qinqin has no interest in saving the "Return of the Pearl" series. She agreed to play the second part because of the sincerity of Qiong Yao and Mango TV who visited her many times. Now she will not go back to play Ziwei.

"I won't go! Not to mention Qiong Yao, I rejected Director Zhang when he came to me before!" Jiang Qinqin said in a delicate voice.

"Director Zhang? Are you talking about Zhang Jizhong?" Wu Yuchen asked.

"That's right! He asked me if I wanted to play the role of Little Dragon Girl. I said I have no interest in TV series anymore~" Jiang Qinqin said with her chin held high.

Her previous role as Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" won the love of a large number of fans. She has experienced this Jin Yong drama once and does not want to repeat it a second time.

As for the traffic of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Xiao Longnu, to be blunt, she has the roles of Ziwei and Huang Rong in two TV series, so there is no shortage of traffic of Xiao Longnu. And she is not only a TV actress, but also a movie star, and her works have been spread all over the world!

Now Jiang Qinqin's biggest pursuit is not traffic and box office, she just wants to get some honors in the movie, even if she doesn't win the Best Actress, as long as the movie can win the grand prize!

Hearing what Jiang Qinqin said, Wu Yuchen also found it funny. In his previous life, the project "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was marketed by Zhang DaHuShi using all the actors in the circle, including Jiang Qinqin, who was voted by netizens as the top candidate for Xiao Long Nu. His play is useless.

But now, the situation is completely reversed. Big Beard immediately approached Jiang Qinqin and wanted her to play the role of Little Dragon Girl, but Jiang Qinqin was no longer interested in it. This really made Wu Yuchen find it interesting.

…

"No, no, no, the squid is not simply enlarged. I need you to make it more ferocious and terrifying. After it opens its mouth, it has monster-like teeth. The densely packed fangs are so eye-catching. I just want to tremble!”

At this time, Wu Yuchen rejected the design of the sea monster Kraken given by the designers, and explained his requirements in more detail.

This big sea monster, the legendary Kraken or the Norwegian Kraken, will bring a lot of visual impact and shock to the audience. It is one of the highlights of this special effects work, so the special effects team is also constantly working with Wu Yuchen. Communicate and adjust accordingly to meet his requirements.

After Jiang Qinqin joined the crew of "The Pirate King" and watched with Wu Yuchen, she realized how busy he really was. Shooting during the day and discussing various matters at night.

Other staff members only need to do their own work, but director Wu Yuchen has to have an overview of the whole situation. He has to intervene when there are problems in every department. He has to care about photography, special effects, action, etc., and he has to communicate with them. Communication, so there is actually very little time to spend leisurely time with Jiang Qinqin.

This also made Jiang Qinqin feel a little more distressed. He was so busy now, but he still took time to pick herself up and accompany her. He didn't lose his temper when she was angry with him before. He tolerated her as much as possible and promised her the heroine thing...

Thinking about it now, she was really so inconsiderate of Wu Yuchen!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen has no time to consider what Jiang Qinqin is thinking now. After all, the work at hand is the most important. And he not only has to worry about this, he also regularly receives calls from across the ocean to hear about the development and reports of Miracle Film and Television.

For example, at this moment, he was receiving a call from Cai Yinong:

"What, Mr. Cai, are you saying that Chen Kaige has contacted you?"

"Yes! But it was not Chen Kaige himself, but his wife Chen Hong who invited me to have tea and talked about "The Promise". Oh, "The Promise" was the name that Director Chen just decided on, and it was the project he was preparing. ”

Chen Hong? Since this woman married Chen Kaige and gave birth to a child, she has been his good wife. She is a truly good wife, not only taking care of things at home, but also becoming Chen Kaige's producer and managing all the affairs of the crew. Therefore, Chen Hong's intervention can be regarded as representing Chen Kaige's own wishes.

To be honest, Wu Yuchen didn't understand what Chen Hongtu and Chen Kaizi were doing.

Many people think that Chen Hong's marriage to Chen Kaige is a sign of high status, but in fact, those who know Chen Hong's family background know that this is not the case. Her grandfather is very high-ranking and cannot be compared with Chen Kaizi's family.

Moreover, Chen Hong has never publicized it to the outside world. Unlike Mouxue, the press release has been circulated for more than ten years. She wants the whole world to know about it and everyone is tired of it.

Considering that Chen Hong is so beautiful and is of the third generation, it stands to reason that she should be very popular and there will definitely be no shortage of well-qualified suitors. In the end, she really would rather be a third-ranked person and use her children to force her to marry Kaizi. Is this true love?

Wu Yuchen shook his head, put aside his miscellaneous thoughts, and asked on the phone: "What's Chen Hong's purpose?"

"What she said, she probably wanted to ask if we would like to invest in "The Promise" directed by Chen. She said that many investors have come to "The Promise" now, from Neon, Bangguo, and Hong Kong. There are many on the island, but we should give this opportunity to us first..."

"Ha! That really gives us face!" Wu Yuchen couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

He thought about it and realized that this was not Chen Kaizi's deliberate provocation or pretense, but that he really thought so. Kaizi is an extremely conceited person, so he naturally thinks that "The Promise", which he has spent a lot of effort preparing this time, is excellent.

Therefore, whether he gave Jiang Qinqin the chance to be the heroine or asked Chen Hong to come to Cai Yinong this time and ask Miracle Pictures if they would like to invest in the project, Chen Kaizi thought that he was conveying goodwill to Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen smiled and shook his head. Kaizi was willing to give in to him this time. He didn't want to refuse, but your work is really unacceptable to Wu Yuchen!

"The Promise", also known as "A Murder Case Caused by a Bun", after more than ten years, the reputation of "Hero" has reversed, but "The Promise" is still firmly nailed on the list of bad movies.

How can Wu Yuchen accept this?

Wu Yuchen sighed, it seems that he and Kaizi are destined to be apart!

"Mr. Cai, forget it, since Director Chen and "The Promise" have no shortage of investment, let's not get involved."

In fact, Cai Yinong originally wanted to invest, after all, it was Chen Kaige, and now the ancient costume martial arts theme has a very good response in the market, with "The Blade of the Assassin" and "Hero" as examples, it stands to reason that the probability of success is quite high. But Wu Yuchen is the big boss, since he has made a decision, then she can't go against it.

Wu Yuchen is not lucky enough to enjoy Kaizi's kindness.

He and Kaizi, in fact, have no grudges, and of course they don't have much friendship, so it's good to maintain the current state, not interfering with each other, and go their own way.

At this time, Cai Yinong mentioned another well-known director in China: "Feng Xiaogang also came to me twice to ask me when you would come back and whether you had time."

"Huh? Why did he come to me?" Wu Yuchen was a little surprised.

Feng Xiaogang has been supported by the Wang brothers in recent years, and he has lived a comfortable life. In recent years, he has had less contact with him. Of course, every time they meet, they are still very enthusiastic, but Wu Yuchen has spent more time in Hollywood in recent years, so he rarely has the opportunity to deal with these people.

Cai Yinong said: "I heard that he is preparing a new movie, but there is a problem with the script. It was sent back for revisions many times but still failed. I guess he came to you because of this."

Wu Yuchen knew what was going on when he heard it. Isn't this the experience of "A World Without Thieves" in the previous life? Has Feng Xiaogang already started preparing for "A World Without Thieves"?

Wu Yuchen calculated the time and it was almost time. He said to Cai Yinong:

"I can't go back in a short time. I guess it will be until the end of the year. But I am quite interested in his business. You can ask him to call me directly!"

"Okay."
