Liu Yifei's leisure time in China will only last until the Golden Horse Award. After that, she will fly to the United States to do preparatory training for "Interstellar".

"Yeah." Liu Yifei announced "Interstellar" when participating in Burberry's brand event. "The next film will be co-produced with director Nolan. It is a science fiction film."

"This film has been prepared for more than two years. It will start filming in March or April next year... I will go to the United States for training first."

"Nervous? It's okay. Both Nolan and Emma are good friends and we understand each other well."

"Next year? Apart from this drama, I really haven't decided on any other work next year. I might take a long vacation."

While Liu Yifei was being interviewed, Liu Xiaoli came to her door.

Raise troops to investigate!

"Why don't you let Sissi take on "The Last War"?"

Two days ago, my daughter officially replied to The Godfather that she could not take on the drama.

Liu Xiaoli thought it was Cheng Yuan who instigated her.

"Ah?" Cheng Yu'an was confused when her mother-in-law scolded her, "I didn't even know there was this drama, Yifei didn't tell me."

Liu Yifei did not mention it to Cheng Yuan. She asked someone in the United States to evaluate the film herself, and the answer she received was that no one in Hollywood was interested in the film, and the producer and distributor were not big companies. Arclight Pictures had released it several times.

It's a good film, but it doesn't have a lot of production experience, and it's not a big company in the field of independent production. Nicolas Cage's reputation in Hollywood is already bad.

Taken together, this is a movie that is not worth investing in or participating in.

Liu Yifei then rejected the godfather's invitation.

Liu Xiaoli saw that Cheng Yu'an didn't seem to be lying and Liu Yifei really didn't tell him about the drama, so she told Cheng Yu'an about "The Last War".

The more Cheng Yuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong. This story seemed so familiar.

Isn't this "The Legend of White Ghost: Desperate Escape"!

What's so interesting about this film? With Liu Yifei's current vision, it's surprising that she would like it.

But Cheng Yuan still said: "Auntie, let me call and ask."

Cheng Yuan called his American producer Sarah to ask about the movie.

Sarah said that Liu Yifei had asked her before, but she advised Liu Yifei not to take it: "The crew is very unprofessional, Nick Powell is an assistant director who has never directed a film before, and Nicolas Cage is now poisonous at the Hollywood box office. I guess this movie

I have no intention of releasing it in North America, I just want to make a fortune in the Chinese market in the name of Sino-US co-production."

Sarah said this politely. If she hadn't cared about the face of the boss and the boss's wife, she would have said that this film was sent to China to defraud money.

Cheng Yu'an played Sarah's words for Liu Xiaoli to listen to.

Liu Xiaoli's expression was ugly: "But its investment of 30 million US dollars..."

Sarah heard Liu Xiaoli's voice and knew it was the boss's mother. She also knew a little Chinese, so she replied: "Madam, if you want to make a war epic with this kind of investment, it is almost impossible in Hollywood. Crystal has finally gained a foothold in Hollywood. No.

You should accept the film so hastily, you should trust more professional people."

Sometimes the bad guys should be left to outsiders.

Sarah said in a roundabout way that she and Godfather Chen were unprofessional and had poor vision.

Cheng Yu'an is here, why are you messing around?

Liu Xiaoli was left speechless by Sarah. Cheng Yuan hung up the phone and said to her: "Auntie, you heard it too. This film is not as good as it seems on the surface. It is also her own choice that Sissi doesn't want to take it."

Liu Xiaoli didn't bother too much about this matter. It seemed that Cheng Yu'an really didn't know about the movie "The Last War", and it was entirely her daughter's decision not to accept the movie.

At first, she felt that her daughter was too controlled by Cheng Yu'an, and she would listen to Cheng Yu'an's instructions for any scenes. This made Liu Xiaoli very unhappy and felt that Liu Yifei had no initiative at all around Cheng Yu'an.

Now it seems that it was her daughter's decision. Although she rejected her film contract with her godfather, Liu Xiaoli was quite happy. She felt that after her daughter left her, she did not completely become Cheng Yu'an's vassal and she could make the decision herself.

"Old Father" finally starts shooting on November 3rd!

The launch conference will be held in the lecture hall of the Film Academy.

The lead actor in "Old Father" was so simple that he couldn't even sit on the rostrum, but in the end he let the leaders of the academy and Qingying Film Studio sit on him to fill the table.

Even though it was a Saturday, the entire lecture hall was still packed with teachers, students and reporters who came to watch the press conference.

First, Zhang Huijun, the president of the Film School, spoke. He praised Cheng Yuan for his contribution to the school, and also expressed his great love for "Old Father":

"The movie "Old Father" is a masterpiece jointly produced by the Academy and Youth Film Studio in conjunction with Remote Film and Television."

That's right, Cheng Yu'an once again roped in his alma mater to make money together.

"Although the investment in the movie is not large," said Principal Liu, he could not boast with his eyes closed, "but its type is very rare in China. It focuses on the elderly living alone and tells the relationship between the elderly living alone, their children and society, which has a very important reality.

significance."

After all, he is the principal, and he speaks with a high standard.

The reporter posed the question to Jiao Huang: "Teacher Jiao Huang, you haven't acted for a long time, why did you accept the movie "Old Father"?"

"The most important thing is that the script is good and the characters are good. I have never seen any young director who has such a deep observation of the elderly as Director Xiao Cheng. Later I also heard from the coordinator of the crew that Director Xiao Cheng

In order to perfect the script, I take time every day to observe the elderly in nursing homes and hospitals. There are not many directors who still experience life."

Don't think that only actors need to experience life, directors and screenwriters also need it.

It's just that production is getting faster and faster now, and only a handful of screenwriters and directors experience life before creating.

Even Cheng Yu'an only took time to observe and could not stay in a nursing home for ten days and a half.

"Teacher Jiang Wenli, I heard that you accepted this movie without asking for any remuneration, right?"

The heroine Zhang Ailian was handed over to Cheng Yuan's senior sister Jiang Wenli.

"The money was indeed confiscated," Jiang Wenli said.

"Let me tell you this." Cheng Yu'an took over, "At first, I told my senior sister that you should charge a little, otherwise it won't look good on your face. I don't know, but they also said that I was exploiting the actors. Senior sister said that the crew didn't have much budget, so I could

A little saving is worth a little.”

Jiang Wenli laughed and said: "I play a supporting role, just as a helper, and I don't have to pay for it. Besides, I get the credit for being able to act in such a good script, and I am willing to do it without any money."

When an actress reaches Jiang Wenli's age, it is really difficult for her to take on roles.

She basically has no role as a heroine in movies, and in TV dramas she can only play the mother role for others.

Zhang Ailian is almost the best role she can get in the film market right now.

The reporter noticed Tong Liya sitting next to Jiang Wenli and asked her what role she played in the movie.

She answered that she would play a caregiver.

The nurse has no specific name in the movie, but is called Xiaotong after the actor.

There was fierce competition within the company over the supporting role of the nurse. Cheng Yu'an's literary film would go to the three major majors at the end of the day. Only a fool would not want to act in it.

In the end, Cheng Yu'an personally appointed Tong Liya to play the role, and this little dispute came to an end.

Tong Liya previously received news from her agent that with Yang Mi and Tangtang leaving next year, the company plans to promote her to the position.

She has accumulated a lot of popularity with the audience in the field of TV dramas in recent years, and it is time for her to try her hand at the big screen.

You mean Liu Shishi?
