Chapter 380 Arrangement
The next morning, when Wu Yuchen woke up, he felt that Jiang Qinqin was still sleeping soundly beside him.
Last night's Oscar night was the least crazy Oscar night Wu Yuchen had ever had in recent years. After all, there were at least two or three people together before, and they didn't have to worry about anything. They played in various ways.
But Jiang Qinqin was the only woman yesterday, and it was impossible to play so much with her. Although Jiang Qinqin was in a very high mood last night, Wu Yuchen had been through many battles and could handle two or three big horses at the same time. It was a piece of cake to deal with her alone, and he killed her without any armor.
Wu Yuchen reached out and stroked Jiang Qinqin's delicate body, sighed softly, and remembered that she mentioned the word marriage yesterday. At that time, he was startled and hurriedly sped up, interrupting her spell, so that she never said it again.
This time, he filmed "Departures" and let Jiang Qinqin play the leading role. It won the Palme d'Or and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which helped her realize her dream. But I didn't expect that now that this girl's career is complete, she started to urge marriage! This makes Wu Yuchen embarrassed...
To be honest, there are very few problems that can give Wu Yuchen a headache now, and this marriage is the first one. His mother has nagged him several times in the past two years, and Wu Yuchen dealt with them all.
The problem he faces is not that he can't find the right one, but that he is too greedy and has made too many connections, and he is reluctant to let go. Now he can barely maintain it, once he marries one of them, the others will be over!
As for the ones in his country, Jiang Qinqin, Li Xiaoran, Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, plus Fan Bingbing, under the current situation, except for Fan Bingbing, who else is willing to watch him marry another woman and secretly be his mistress?
So, he must not get married! He can give children, money, resources, etc., but he can't get married.
Thinking of this, Wu Yuchen sighed in his heart, Sister Ranran is still the best! She is worthy of being a good sister who has been playing since childhood!
Well, actually Li Zi is not bad either. She also knows about his relationship with Jiang Qinqin and has always acquiesced to it...
As for Yuanyuan, this girl also went to Beijing Film Academy, so she probably heard about his relationship with Jiang Qinqin in school.
Not to mention Fan Bingbing, he dragged him to America to play multiplayer games!
Wu Yuchen exclaimed, and then looked at Jiang Qinqin who was sleeping soundly. It seems that maybe Jiang Qinqin is the only one who doesn't know?
In this case, as long as he can deal with the resistance from Jiang Qinqin, he can still maintain this situation. Wu Yuchen touched his chin and fell into thought...
In the afternoon, the main creative team of the "Transformers" crew gathered again.
"We have found a corresponding transforming car for each Transformer, which can make the camouflage form chosen by the Transformers on Earth more reasonable..." Wu Yuchen listened while looking at the design drawings in his hand. After they finished talking, he said to Michael Bay: "Hey, Mike, I think the image design of the Transformers should be improved." "Huh? Is there a problem?" Michael Bay asked. Spielberg picked up the blueprint and said, "This is designed by our designers and Hasbro."
Wu Yuchen shook his head: "We can't design this completely according to Hasbro and the original image. Transformers are large robots with autonomous consciousness, or aliens.
If we want more people to like Transformers, we must make it more handsome and in line with the public aesthetic trend. At the same time, it is also set as a partner of humans. So no matter from which aspect, we can't really treat it as a big machine when designing it, but need to add more anthropomorphic features."
Wu Yuchen's words are not difficult to understand, because the audience watching "Transformers" is human, so whether from an aesthetic or emotional point of view, the Transformers must be made more like humans. Although some people like the curiosity-oriented ones, this is a movie that is promoted to the whole world, so it naturally has to conform to the public aesthetic trend.
After Wu Yuchen said this, Spielberg looked at the design and it seemed that there were some problems, but he did not express his opinion directly, but looked at director Michael Bay: "Mike, what do you think?"
Michael Bay thought for a while and said: "You are giving the designers a difficult problem, but you should let them try. I will let them make changes in the details."
Wu Yuchen nodded when he heard this. In fact, this is not so easy. Many times, two models look the same, but the popularity varies greatly because of different details. Moreover, too many Transformers will make people feel that Transformers are too human, and too few will be too cold. How to grasp this degree of anthropomorphism is also a test of Michael Bay's aesthetics.
After this question was recorded, Michael Bay asked Spielberg again: "Steven, have you contacted the military?"
Spielberg smiled and said: "The US Department of Defense has agreed to our cooperation after reading the script. They only have one request, hoping that the film can have a positive feedback on their soldiers and technology."
"Of course, I understand this, and I will not deliberately discredit them." Michael Bay said. In fact, this is not the first time he has collaborated with the military. He has collaborated with them in the filming of "Pearl Harbor" and "The Rock".
The filming of the movie "Transformers" was inseparable from the support of the US military. What the audience saw in the movie were the real Holloman, Kirtland and Edwards Air Force Bases and the Pentagon. Working with different military branches, the film was able to "borrow" high-end weapons that are rarely seen during filming, from CV-22 tilt-rotor aircraft, F-117 "Nighthawk" stealth aircraft to C-130 The old U.S. military has really contributed a lot to the "Hercules" transport aircraft and the C-17 "Globemaster" transport aircraft.
In this case, for the sake of smooth filming and for the sake of subsequent sequels, it is natural to give the military a positive image to maintain this mutually beneficial relationship. In fact, this is also a way for Lao America to show its national strength through movies.
It is natural for a country to become stronger. From this, Wu Yuchen also thought of some domestic movies, such as the "Wolf Warrior" series, "Operation Red Sea", etc. Why are the box office so high? Because at that time, the country's strength had increased and the national self-confidence had also increased. Naturally, I hope to get positive feedback in this regard in some works.
Many people complain that this is a patriotic meal. In fact, there were many so-called patriotic and theme-themed movies in the United States in the past, but there is no need to feel bad about it. It's just that when the money comes in quickly and capital is concentrated on this subject matter, causing the audience to become more and more aesthetically tired, there will be more and more complaints and annoying voices.
We talked about "Transformers" for most of the day, and the conversation didn't end until very late. The next day, Wu Yuchen came to Miracle Pictures again.
Miracle Pictures was very active last year. Not to mention "Pirates 3" in cooperation with DreamWorks, there are also two small-budget productions "Princess Diaries" and "Dance My Life". One is in cooperation with Disney and the other is and Fox, both have gained a lot, and now the remaining payment from the theater chain has been accounted for.
Oh, by the way, there is also the "Saw" series that I have to mention. After Robert Downey Jr. joined "Saw 3", he did really well. Not only was his acting skills on point, but his bad reputation also brought with it a certain publicity effect. , attracted many viewers to the cinema to watch him being tortured.
Wu Yuchen feels that the observation period for him is almost over. After "Fantastic Four" is released, Marvel can start the "Iron Man" project.
Just when Wu Yuchen was thinking, he suddenly hissed, trembled, leaned back, and lay back on the boss's chair. Then, a head popped out from under the table, then slowly climbed up his body, and sat in Wu Yuchen's arms. It was none other than Anne Hathaway, licking her lips and smiling: "Daddy, I am qualified as a secretary." ”
Wu Yuchen didn't speak, he just stroked her smooth jade back with his hands. We made an appointment to meet in the office the day before yesterday. Anne Hathaway was fully prepared today. Not only did she wear a uniform and dress up as a secretary, but she also brought a lot of fun things with her and was very enthusiastic.
Wu Yuchen smiled and said: "Annie, you want to be my secretary, but this alone is not enough~"
"BOSS, what should I do?"
Seeing Anne Hathaway's deliberately seductive look, Wu Yuchen couldn't bear it anymore and began to preach and practice his profession as a good boss.
This additional celebration made Wu Yuchen quite satisfied. Now that I'm back in Hollywood, I always feel a little restrained because I have Jiang Qinqin with me all the time. I'm not as free as I used to be when I came to the United States. I just let go and have some fun.
Anne Hathaway rested for a while before she recovered, and then looked at Wu Yuchen's refreshed appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It seemed that she was really reluctant to deal with Wu Yuchen alone. She had been tortured just now. It’s so embarrassing, I have to ask my good sisters to come with me next time.
She didn't think it was abnormal. After all, there were more people of all kinds in the world, and there were some people who were born with more energy than ordinary people. The proportion of such people among successful people would be higher.
Then Anne Hathaway lay on Wu Yuchen's chest and asked: "Dear, do you think I should take the prize route next?"
When Wu Yuchen heard this, he glanced at Anne Hathaway. It seemed that "Brokeback Mountain" had given her a lot of encouragement and made her feel that she could make a difference in the Oscars.
Wu Yuchen said with a smile: "Annie, it's okay if you want to try it. After all, you are still young. But my suggestion is to pursue the so-called honor on the basis of ensuring your commercial value."
Anne Hathaway rubbed her face against Wu Yuchen's hand: "With you here, Daddy, there will be no problem with my commercial box office, right?"
Anne Hathaway herself also has her own thoughts. Now she has reached a bottleneck and climbed to a front-line position. Even if she achieves results like "Princess Diaries" in the future, she will just stabilize her current position, not progress.
If you want to go further, there are two aspects: either you can act in a big commercial hit, or you can gain something in awards and achieve honors.
In the past few years, Wu Yuchen will be busy with "Batman" and has no experience in starting a large-scale production. In Anne's opinion, "Batman" is a man's show, and there is probably no role suitable for her. To be honest, it is hard to find a large commercial production that is suitable for her and can be a hit.
So her current idea is to rely on the resources provided by Wu Yuchen to maintain her current business value, and then achieve certain breakthroughs in awards and honors.
Wu Yuchen probably guessed what Anne Hathaway was thinking, and said with a smile: "Of course, but if you want to win awards, your current acting skills are still far behind. Have you seen "The Devil Wears Prada"? "
"Of course, I'm ready!"
Anne became excited when she heard this. In fact, she came to Wu Yuchen to celebrate this time just to remind Wu Yuchen of this drama. After all, this is a movie that Wu Yuchen said can help her achieve high box office.
The copyright of the original novel has long been obtained by Wu Yuchen. This year, Miracle Pictures plans to develop the film, and Anne Hathaway has also read the novel and script early.
"Okay, then I will invite Meryl Streep to play the role of Miranda. Then you will have a lot of opposite roles. From her, you will know what a real Oscar-winning actress is."
When it comes to acting skills, Meryl Streep is definitely one of the top actresses in Hollywood. She has been nominated for the Oscar Actor Award 14 times, and will be more than 20 times in the future, as well as various awards. Countless gains.
Although Anne Hathaway is not a pure actress, her acting skills are incomparable to those of Aunt May. Moreover, her masterpieces, whether it is the "Spider-Man" trilogy or "The Princess Diaries", actually do not require high acting skills. This time, starring opposite Aunt May, she can learn a lot.
Wu Yuchen smiled and stroked her hair: "Annie, don't be so shocked by her that you come to me to cry."
When acting, there is really a situation where the gap in strength is too big, and you are completely crushed by your opponent, and then you cry in anger.
Although Anne knew there was a gap between herself and Meryl Streep, she was a little unconvinced when Wu Yuchen said so bluntly that she was not good enough. She wrinkled her nose and said, "Wu, I won't cry! Even if It doesn’t matter if it’s Meryl, I won’t lose to her!”
After hearing this, Wu Yuchen smiled. Although it is good to be ambitious, Wu Yuchen estimated that she would still be overshadowed by Meryl. It was not just the gap in acting skills, but the role of Meryl in the movie itself. If you are more outstanding, there is a high probability that Anne will be surpassed by then.
"Come on, if you can really play opposite Meryl and not fall behind, then you are not far away from winning an Oscar." Wu Yuchen encouraged Annie.
