Chapter 431 After Cannes

"Are you talking about me?" It's not that Cheng Yu'an is narcissistic, it's the situation. He really feels that Liu Yifei is hinting that she is rushing to Cannes.

But Liu Yifei would not admit it: "Who said anything about you? Stop being narcissistic."

But in fact, Liu Yifei really wants Cheng Yu'an to continue competing for awards. She still feels that the two Venice statues, an Oscar, an Academy Award and various other minor awards at home are not enough.

But she also knows that with Cheng Yu'an's current achievements, even if he announces that he will stop filming tomorrow, it will not affect his status in the film industry at all.

Cheng Yu'an didn't say anything, he knew Liu Yifei's damn collection habit.

Cheng Yu'an didn't display the trophies at home and kept them all in a box. He didn't care, but Liu Yifei would often turn them out and clean them at home.

After the trip to Cannes, Cheng Yuan accompanied Liu Yifei back to the United States to wrap up "Pacific Rim".

The two had been separated for too long. During this time in the United States, Cheng Yu'an also made plans for the two of them to travel later - he promised Liu Yifei to travel with her for half a month.

"Pacific Rim" is the second S-level major production made by a major film company after "Inception", but the company still focuses on small and medium-sized budgets.

Matthew McConaughey has been confirmed to take over "Dallas Buyers Club", which will cost US$5 million. The script is being revised and filming is expected to begin by the end of the year.

Matthew has started a planned diet to lose weight under the guidance of professional nutritionists and fitness coaches.

This movie is still aimed at the awards season. In order to trick Matthew into participating in the movie, Cheng Lingfeng patted her chest and promised him that she would do her best to publicize him and win the Oscar for 14 years.

But Cheng Lingfeng also complained. She didn't understand why Cheng Yu'an wanted to make an animated movie!

She has never had confidence in Chinese comics and doesn’t like watching animations: “Animated movies can’t make much money, and the production cycle is still long. It takes three to five years to make them. No matter how much money you invest, you won’t see any splash.”

A large animation studio has now been reintegrated, and the first batch of domestic animators who were trained by the company have returned to China to start working on "The Return of the Great Sage" - when this project was announced in China, the industry was in pessimism, and no one thought that this movie would be successful.

, it is said that people are using investors’ money remotely to create chaos.

It is true that the production cycle of "The Return of the Great Sage" is too long. The remote prediction is that it will take one year to concept, two years to produce, and it is expected to be released in 2015.

Three years later, how can the market believe in you?

If this was just the case, Cheng Lingfeng would just pinch her nose and do it.

It is true that the animated film market is too big, which has caused serious problems in the company's capital turnover.

"Despicable Me 2" is currently in production and the progress is pretty good. This sequel to the hit animation has no worries about investment and will have no impact on the company.

The problem lies with a few new movies.

Originally, with the size of a large animation studio, it could only be working on two or three projects at the same time, but it would be too much for it to handle any more.

However, the huge sales of "Despicable Me" made the entire company completely out of control of Cheng Yu'an and Cheng Lingfeng, and it rushed forward like a chicken.

After "Inside Out" and "Zootopia", this group of people joined the production of "Coco" and "Big Hero 6" this year.

The two project teams asked for a budget of 170 million yuan!

Let alone having no money, even if Cheng Lingfeng had money, she wouldn’t give it to him!

"I divided part of these two animations for domestic production, and reduced the cost by 20 million US dollars. The company can offer up to 100 million, but Disney is willing to offer only 50 million, and there is about 150 million left.

The dollar gap cannot be filled."

In fact, it’s not that I don’t have money, it’s just that this is not the way to make movies.

Cheng Yu'an heard that these two cartoons were also a big deal. He wanted to make them but had no money. "To make these two movies, I will go to China to find money. If I can't make it, I will pay for it myself."

The animation company has indeed taken too big a step. Cheng Yuan established the animation company in the United States just to inject blood into the country and use it as a base for cultivating Chinese animation talents.

There are no special requirements for animation companies, as long as they can break even.

However, with the success of "Despicable Me", the company's development path gradually deviated from Cheng Yu'an's original vision and headed towards an animation studio.

Cheng Yuan could only bite the bullet and continue.

…………

While Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei were still on a romantic trip, Yang Mi went to Cannes and brought "Super Body" back.

"According to the latest news from Yuanyuan Film and Television, its leading actress Yang Mi has been confirmed to star in the co-production of the science fiction blockbuster "Super Body". It is expected that "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" will join the cast after filming is completed."

The announcement of "Super Body" aroused suspicion in the industry. It was previously known that this movie was prepared for Liu Yifei, but now the sudden change of actors has made the outside world speculate about the reason for Liu Yifei's resignation.

In New Zealand, reporters met Liu Yifei and Cheng Yuan who were on vacation there. Liu Yifei explained her resignation in an interview:

"The filming of "Pacific Rim" was very hard, and I was injured during the process. My family was worried about whether my body could withstand the heavy filming tasks of "Super Body", so I decided to take a break.

"Mimi is very popular in China, and her skills can be adapted to "Super Body". Everyone can look forward to her performance."

"Does Sissi have any other plans later?" the reporter asked.

"The next step is the promotion of "BJ Meets Seattle". There are no filming arrangements for the second half of the year."

The reporter asked two questions and then left, so as not to disturb the two of them.

When this explanation was spread back to China, it was unclear whether others believed it or not, but Tangtang obviously didn’t believe it!

They are both master artists, so Cheng Yuan is too kind to Yang Mi!

How could she accept such a big gift before leaving the company?

And Tangtang feels that she made her debut from a distance - Princess Yunluo in "The World's No. 1".

As for Yang Mi, it was considered that she was taking the arts to join her. She was previously in Rongxingda.

She was brought into the company by Han Yan, and Han Yan was brought out by Cheng Yu'an. Isn't this relationship closer than that of Yang Mi?

In terms of qualifications, she should be the first remote sister.

"Thieves" is about to reach 1 billion, Yang Mi's popularity is unparalleled in the country, surpassing Tangtang by several places.

And "Resident Evil 5" won't be released for another few months, and it can't be introduced in China yet.

But she couldn't find anyone to make trouble, so she could only urge her agent to collect two more scripts for her.

There is actually a script.

"Jackie Chan is going to make a new "Police Story" and is looking for a heroine to play Jackie Chan's daughter."

"Take it!" Tangtang answered without saying a word.

No one wants to cooperate with Jackie Chan.

This movie belongs to Wanda, and Starlight has a hand in it, but Tiantian now has "Famous Catchers", and will also have a long-distance "Youth" later. She plays Zheng Wei, and the schedule cannot be adjusted.

I believe Lu Zheng will sell the remote role to Tangtang.
Chapter completed!
