Chapter 349: Arriving in Taiwan
Wu Yuan, who was far away in the United States, didn't know that although he only verbally agreed at the time, and had not yet determined any schedule, in the era of light and shadow in China, the news that he was going to act in a TV series with Liu Yifei had already spread.
Even he didn't know that this drama also tempted Yang Mi and made her sign a contract with his own company.
In the past year or two, Wu Yuan has not been in charge of the company's daily operations anymore.
In addition to providing scripts for the company's directors and controlling the establishment of projects with an investment of more than 50 million yuan, other things of the company, especially daily operations and artist management, are all handed over to Li Xiaoping to be in charge of the gatekeeping, and at most read monthly and annual reports.
After working in the United States for two months, setting the preliminary preparations for "Interstellar", determining the various prop drawings and special effects production directions, Wu Yuan asked Daisy to book a ticket back to China.
The 2008 Taiwan Golden Horse Awards are about to begin.
Although the United States has direct flights to Taiwan, because Wu Yuan's previous Taiwan Island pass expired, he had to return to China to reapply for it, which was troublesome.
On December 1, he returned to the capital from North America, took all kinds of materials that Xiao Zhang had prepared for him, as well as the invitation letter of the Golden Horse Award, and went to apply for a travel permit and entry permit to Taiwan Island, plus a tourist visa, and got it all in one go.
Special affairs, Wu Yuan got these documents the next day, summoned the crew of "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die", which had already done these certificates, and flew to Taiwan Island together.
It's a pity that Liu Yifei was absent from this trip to the Golden Horse because of the filming of "Ace Agent", and Wu Yuan only took Li Xuejian, Zhu Yawen, Song Dandan, and Fan Wei to Taiwan Island together.
Even Yang Yiao, who played Song Dandan's daughter, and another child star did not go together.
The group arrived in Taipei on the evening of December 5 and checked into the hotel under the arrangement of the Golden Horse Award Organizing Committee.
"It's my first time on Taiwan." Seeing the porter send his luggage to the luggage elevator, Li Xuejian said with some sighs: "Looking at the road, I feel that the development of Taipei is not very good." ”
"I didn't see many high-rise buildings all the way by car, and I don't feel like the magic capital is developed."
Wu Yuan, who was standing next to him, smiled very happily, "Haha, this shows that our system and policies are better than those of Taiwan Island, although the development is late, the future is much brighter than that of Taiwan Island." ”
"yes." Li Xuejian nodded.
Wu Yuan smiled and said nothing, no one knows better than him how quickly the economic influence of the two sides of the strait will change shape in the next ten years.
Including the entertainment industry.
Now Taiwan's idol dramas are still popular across the Taiwan Strait, even if Wu Yuan stole a few first, but with idol dramas such as "Mischievous Kiss", "The Prince Becomes a Frog", "Green Light Forest", "Smile Pestella", "Princess Little Sister" and other idol dramas, Taiwan's TV drama production industry is still very vibrant, and it is also selling well in the mainland.
But in another three or five years, the era of Taiwan idol dramas will pass, and the mainland TV series led by "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will squeeze Taiwan idol dramas out of the market.
Later, the mainland's Xianxia dramas and urban romance dramas counterattacked Taiwan, and Qiyi Video's Taiwan Station once became the hottest video platform on Taiwan, and a large number of TV dramas in the mainland have received extremely high hits on it.
Well, then Qiyi Video was banned on Taiwan Island, and mainland TV dramas were uncensored and not allowed to be broadcast on Taiwan Island's online platforms.
As for this review, how to pass the review, I can only say that I understand it.
And Taiwan's film industry is almost coming to an end.
Hou Xiaoxian and a group of the best directors on Taiwan Island are about to be carved out, and there are no good young directors to take over the baton in the future.
In the future, there are few Taiwan movies that can be popular across the Taiwan Strait, such as "Those Years" and "My Girlhood", which were also copied to the Light and Shadow Era under Wu Yuan's concept of "Dead Friends Do Not Die Poor".
Looking at the staff of the Golden Horse Award Organizing Committee who warmly greeted him, Wu Yuan smiled secretly in his heart.
The Golden Horse Awards, which warmly invite him to participate every year, would never have imagined that Wu Yuan would be the gravedigger of the Taiwan film industry, and even the last handful of soil on the grave was shoveled by him himself.
"Director Wu, welcome to Taiwan, I am honored to invite you to participate in the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards again!"
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, facing this enthusiastic Golden Horse Award officer, Wu Yuan also showed a sunny smile on his face, and held his hand with his backhand: "Where, I am also honored to participate in the Golden Horse Award again." ”
"I haven't been here for a few years before, mainly because I didn't bring my works, and I really couldn't coordinate the schedule, so I regretted missing it."
"I am also grateful to the Golden Horse Awards for inviting me to participate this year after I have rejected many times."
The sedan chair is everyone's platform.
Although he has dug a grave for the Taiwan film industry in his heart, Wu Yuan still behaves very enthusiastically and harmoniously on the surface.
There is no way, the leader took special care of him before going out, let him show more enthusiasm at the Golden Horse Awards, try to unite the people in the entertainment industry on Taiwan Island, and contribute to the promotion of peace and unification.
has risen to "promote peace and unification", how can Wu Yuan give a cold face.
And the enthusiasm shown by such an international director as him was flattered by the Golden Horse Award officer.
In the past few years, Wu Yuan has refused to attend several Golden Horse Awards in a row, and many people in the Golden Horse Organizing Committee believe that this great director in the mainland may be very high-spirited, and after coming once, he will not look down on the Golden Horse Awards, and his temper is arrogant and cold and difficult to get along with, so he sent him, the best temperament officer, to pick up Wu Yuan.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the real person, Wu Yuan was so easy to get along with.
The Golden Horse officer also showed a sincere bright smile on his face, "Director Wu, you have come from afar, as the host, I have to take you around Taipei." ”
He stretched out his hand to look at the time on his watch, and muttered: "It's four o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise Director Wu and the actors, gentlemen, and ladies of the crew will take a break in the hotel first." ”
"When it is 18 o'clock in the evening, I will take everyone to Shilin Night Market for a walk."
"Shilin Night Market is one of the largest night markets in Taipei, it is very lively at night, and there are a lot of special Taiwanese food, everyone who comes to Taiwan Island will definitely come to Shilin Night Market to have a visit."
"I know that the fried oysters in a Shilin Night Market are very good, which is a must in Taipei, and there is also a Dingbian file that tastes very good."
"Director Wu and Teacher Xuejian, you are all from the north of the mainland, and you should rarely taste the special snacks of the south, so you can't miss it this time."
Wu Yuan had nothing to do, and nodded reservedly: "Then let's go upstairs to rest for a while, and we'll come down and gather when the time comes." ”
"I'm sorry for you, Director Chen."
"No trouble, no trouble." Director Chen smiled like a chrysanthemum: "It's my honor to be able to receive Director Wu and your crew!" (End of chapter)
