In Liu Yifei's hometown, fine snow is floating in the air.

Taking an Air China flight, Wu Yuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli landed at the international airport in the three towns.

Today is February 12th, and it is not a few days before the first day of the Lunar New Year on the 18th.

After the completion of "Those Years", Wu Yuan, who returned to Beijing to follow up on the post-production of "Gravity" for a period of time, and at the urging of his girlfriend, he and Liu Yifei's mother and daughter embarked on a flight back to their hometown to visit relatives.

For Wu Yuan, the Spring Festival is the same wherever he is spent, and this lively festival has always had nothing to do with him.

But this year is different, this year Wu Yuan will feel the long-lost family reunion.

It's just that this family is not his Wu family, but Liu Yifei's Liu family.

Liu Xiaoli has three brothers and sisters, all of whom have children, plus Liu Yifei's grandmother is still alive, and the An family will visit relatives during the Spring Festival.

It can be expected that this Spring Festival will definitely be a big test for Wu Yuan.

The handsome son-in-law can't escape the recognition of his mother's house.

As soon as he got off the plane, Wu Yuan first met Zhou Wenqiong who came to pick up Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, this is Liu Yifei's aunt, that is, the relative who lives in Los Angeles for a long time, she also came back to visit relatives this time, but she arrived before Liu Yifei's mother and daughter.

"Auntie~" Liu Yifei, who was fully armed, ran to Zhou Wenqiong enthusiastically, and hugged her and let out a coquettish voice.

Fortunately, she also knew that she was a star, and it was not suitable for her to stay in public for a long time, so after giving Wu Yuan a look, the group got into the car first.

"Auntie, this is my boyfriend Wu Yuan." After getting in the car, Liu Yifei shyly introduced to her aunt.

Zhou Wenqiong looked at Wu Yuan with some surprise, although Liu Xiaoli had already given her early pass, she still couldn't believe that Wu Yuan, a young and talented director, was actually Liu Yifei's boyfriend.

It's a bit outrageous, but it's very reasonable, after all, in front of the public, Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan are not less "tied" together.

originally thought it was just a simple director's support for the actors, but I didn't expect it to be really greasy!

Because she has lived in Los Angeles for a long time, she knows too well how good Wu Yuan is in Hollywood, and the record of "a single film box office breaking one billion dollars" obtained by only five people is an unattainable achievement.

It's naturally a good thing that my niece can have such a boyfriend.

Just when Zhou Wenqiong was observing Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan also looked at her generously, nodded and smiled, and greeted, "Hello, auntie." ”

Zhou Wenqiong is very beautiful, similar to Liu Xiaoli, and she is also a top beauty.

It's no wonder that Liu Yifei would say that he is the ugliest in the family.

The genes of the Liu family are really very good, and the female members are more beautiful than the other.

In the car, the young girl who was sitting in the driver's seat and driving also turned her head and shouted excitedly at this time: "Sissi, Director Wu is really your boyfriend!" ”

"You actually took him home for the Spring Festival!"

"Wow, Director Wu, can you sign for me, I have a lot of colleagues who are fans!"

"Pirates of the Caribbean is really good, although the second part was not released in China, we also bought a disc to watch!"

This babbling girl is Zhou Wenqiong's daughter.

Although Zhou Wenqiong is Liu Xiaoli's younger sister, because Liu Xiaoli gave birth late, Zhou Wenqiong's daughter is a few years older than Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei has to call her cousin.

And she did not work in the United States with her mother, but stayed in China to live and work hard.

Wu Yuan looked at her with some amusement, Disney has not released the genuine "Pirates of the Caribbean" disc in China, and all the discs that can be bought in China are pirated discs, can this matter be in front of him?

"It's good if you like it, after the New Year, Sissi and I will go to the United States to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" together, and the third part will definitely be released in China at that time."

"What?!" The cousin was shocked again, and shouted excitedly: "Is Sissi going to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean 3"?" ”

"Awesome, Sissi is going to become an international superstar!"

The new cast of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has not yet been announced, and it is still a secret, and the news will not be revealed until the official start.

After getting such a "grapevine", my cousin looked at Liu Yifei with envy with an expression of eating melons: "Sissi, it's good to have a big director boyfriend, you are so happy." ”

My cousin is also very good-looking, with the genes of the Liu family, she is also a little beauty, although she has not entered the showbiz, but she does have a longing for the glamorous star industry.

"Hee-hee." Liu Yifei smiled proudly, hugged Wu Yuan's arm in front of the elders, cocked his chin and said arrogantly: "Cousin, this is something you can't envy~"

"There is only one Wu Yuan in the whole world, and it is already mine~"

"No shame!" Liu Xiaoli, who was sitting next to her, reached out angrily and funny and nodded her daughter's face: "Did you talk to your cousin like this?" ”

Do you want your daughter's family to be reserved?

Liu Yifei didn't care about this, and made a grimace at her mother, and her hippie smile made everyone in the car laugh.

The car started, and there was constant laughter and laughter all the way, although Wu Yuan didn't say much, he blended into it very peacefully.

More than an hour later, the car stopped at the door of a small bungalow in an old neighborhood in Three Towns.

Although the Liu family is not a wealthy family, it is also a well-off family under three generations of intellectuals.

At the door, Wu Yuan also saw Liu Yifei's grandmother, a kind and loving rich old man, and he could vaguely see in his eyebrows and eyes that she must have been a peerless woman when she was young.

It seems that in order to welcome Wu Yuan, grandma specially changed into a bright red auspicious dress, and also brought a safflower accessory on her head.

Against the backdrop of this festive color scheme, she is not tacky at all.

Just standing at the door, he still behaved decently, and his whole body was full of noble temperament.

It can be said that the white-haired man who wears flowers is not smiling, and the years have never defeated the beauty.

In the grandma's mouthful of a "Sissi's boyfriend?" ”

"You're Obuchi?"

"The young man is so handsome!" Below, Wu Yuan was warmly welcomed into the house by his grandmother.

The scene of the three-class trial he expected to encounter did not appear, but was warmly welcomed and praised.

In this way, Wu Yuan's Spring Festival holiday began.

After the Liu family was warmly entertained and asked for a lively Spring Festival, Wu Yuan reacted in hindsight why the Liu family was so enthusiastic about him.

Other mothers and family members don't shy away from their aunts, and that's because their daughters are married out after all, and if they get married, they will spill water, so they have to serve their in-laws for other people's families, take care of housework, and have children.

But Wu Yuan is different, there are no elders above Wu Yuan, and he is alone.

Liu Yifei got along with him, and when he entered the marriage hall in the future, he also lived with two people, and there were no in-laws to serve him.

Don't worry about spending the New Year at the man's house or the woman's house, you can go back to Liu's house every year to celebrate the New Year together.

Good guy, where is this a daughter, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a son-in-law.

From Grandma Liu's point of view, you can't be very satisfied with Wu Yuan's grandson-in-law!

Passionate, must be passionate!

During the entire Spring Festival holiday, Wu Yuan enjoyed meticulous care and considerate care in Liu's house, except that he couldn't share a room with Liu Yifei, everything else was fine.

It's just a blink of an eye, and most of the Spring Festival holiday has passed, and the days have come to the end of February.

Before the smell of the New Year in the streets and alleys has dissipated, and the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not had time to eat, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei had to say goodbye to their grandmother, aunt and other relatives and friends with regret, and embarked on a flight to Los Angeles.

The filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" really can't be delayed any longer.

All the preparatory work of the crew has already been completed, and the actors, including Cheng Long, who became popular again in Hollywood because of "Rush Hour 3", have all arrived in Los Angeles, waiting for him, the director, and Liu Yifei.

No matter how big Wu Yuan's face is, he is embarrassed to really celebrate the Lantern Festival in China, so he can only fly to Los Angeles on February 28, the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

"Daniel, you're finally here."

As soon as he received Wu Yuan and his party outside the airport, Jerry couldn't stop complaining: "If you don't come again, I will go to Huaxia to invite you in person." ”

"Oh, and Crystal, welcome to the Pirates of the Caribbean crew!"

Jerry smiled and hugged Wu Yuan, and then shook hands with Liu Yifei, and then said with great interest: "Just wait for the two of you." ”

"Daniel, this time "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" will be the most important part of the series, everything depends on you."

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is the last part of the contract signed by Wu Yuan.

Not only him, but also Depp, Orlando, and Kayla, the three leading actors, have only signed the third part.

Although this does not mean that there will only be three parts in this series, it is not easy to prepare for the fourth part later, and to coordinate the schedules of these actors and satisfy their salary appetites.

Jerry is even pessimistic that in the next five years, there may not be enough actors to launch the fourth part.

So for him and Disney, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is very important, and it is best to earn him more than a billion dollars at the box office in one go, so that Disney's financial statements will look better in the next few years.

"Jerry, put your heart in your belly." Wu Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "I am a dedicated director, since I have signed the contract, I will definitely complete the work seriously, you can rest assured." ”

According to the previously signed contract, Wu Yuan's directing fee for the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" can get $10 million.

Although this money is nothing to Wu Yuan now, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is not just as simple as making 30 million US dollars for him, the status of a commercial film director brought to him by this series, and the rising fame around the world cannot be exchanged for money.

So he really takes the third part, which is also the last "Pirates of the Caribbean" he directed, and has been constantly discussing the script with the screenwriter.

Wu Yuan's version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has changed a lot compared to the previous two parts, especially the line of Howling Wind, which has almost been re-set, from the costumes and the setting of the pirate village, to the characters' characters and lines, all of which have been greatly changed.

This time, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", at least it will no longer be criticized by Chinese fans for "scandalizing China"!

It's not pirates all over the world, it's all the image of Europeans and Americans stereotyped with a lame leg, a one-eyed black blindfold, a tricorne hat, and a pirate hook in their hands!

What is Cultural Export?

That's cultural export!

People all over the world, including Asians, have been influenced by countless images of European and American pirates, paintings, movies, and TV dramas over the past hundred years, and the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning pirates is this stereotype of pirates in the Caribbean.

Even Japan's "One Piece", most of the pirate images in it are also borrowed from Pirates of the Caribbean, and there is no local style at all.

But now, Wu Yuan wants to bring a different image of Chinese pirates to fans around the world!

Since Captain Jack is going to cross the seven seas, wouldn't it be boring if the pirates of the seven seas were exactly the same as those in the Caribbean?

When Captain Jack sails the Black Pearl to the South China Sea, he will lead the audience to experience the different Chinese style of the Caribbean!

This is actually what European and American audiences want to see.

When Captain Jack sails the Black Pearl out of the Caribbean and into other parts of the world, fans want to see pirates who are different from the Pirates of the Caribbean.

See Captain Jack in different seas and have a variety of interesting stories and adventures with different pirates!
