After accompanying Liu Yifei to watch "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Wu Yuan completely gave himself a holiday.

For the remaining two months of this year, he doesn't plan to make any more works, and he doesn't want to go to film festivals, award ceremonies, or anything.

At least until February next year, he doesn't plan to do any work, just wants to rest for a while.

The director also has to recharge, although most of the movies he makes don't need to conceive the script by himself, but it is also a very hard thing to control the crew to complete all the work from preparation to filming and release.

For Wu Yuan, the most suitable rhythm for his work is to take a break for 3-5 months after making two movies in a row, recharge, relax, and then meet new challenges.

But he rested, but Liu Yifei couldn't rest.

She is also the protagonist of the film's publicity in China, and she can send her a lot of press releases in the light and shadow era, trying to consolidate her status as an international movie star.

is the same as Anne Hathaway, and even has a little more scenes than Anne Hathaway, how can it be said that he is not an international movie star?

And international movie stars naturally have a busy schedule worthy of international movie stars.

From the mainland to Hong Kong and Taiwan to Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, from September to November, Liu Yifei almost never rested, flying everywhere throughout Asia, just to cooperate with the publicity work of "Interstellar".

As a trapeze, she often called Wu Yuan to complain, why can he, a director, rest at home, but she, a part-time actor, has to fly around Asia to make money for him.

Not only her, but Anne Hathaway and Mads Mikkelsen also flew around the European region, working tirelessly to do propaganda work.

In this regard, Wu Yuan could only say to Liu Yifei: "Who called me an investor, and I didn't sign a contract to cooperate with the publicity?" ”

"Besides, everyone is going for you leading actors, and I, the director, can't be there to promote, in fact, the difference is not very big."

"I just need to do my behind-the-scenes work, and that's enough."

Every time Wu Yuan said this, he could hear Liu Yifei gritting his teeth on the other end of the phone.

Of course, the main creators of the crew worked so hard to publicize, and the return in exchange was enough.

At the end of December, "Interstellar" ended its release in all regions of the world, and the global box office finally counted by Universal was 1.26 billion US dollars, exceeding Wu Yuan's expectations and failing to meet Universal's expectations.

Although it failed to compete with "Avatar", which disappointed Universal, the box office of $1.2 billion was also a proper champion movie of the year in previous years, and it deserves to be champagne from Universal and Paramount!

Wu Yuan was also officially put on the list of the best contemporary science fiction film directors in Hollywood, slightly inferior to James Cameron and higher than Nolan.

After following the field of fantasy and magic, Wu Yuan has also become one of the authorities in Hollywood and even among directors around the world in the theme of science fiction movies, and has been widely praised.

For this reason, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei, who had just finished the promotion, also flew to Los Angeles again to participate in a box office celebration banquet of "Interstellar".

20th Century Fox even took the initiative to contact Wu Yuan privately, and offered a sky-high director fee of $20 million, inviting him to direct a blockbuster science fiction movie in the next phase of Fox.

Warner once again reiterated its willingness to invite Wu Yuan to direct the DC Cinematic Universe.

"Green Lantern" lived up to expectations.

Compared with the majesty of the Marvel Cinematic Universe next door, DC's movie strategy failed again and again, except for Nolan's "The Dark Knight Trilogy", all of which failed.

Now Warner really needs an excellent sci-fi film director, especially a director who is very good at playing business, to open a DC cinematic universe like Marvel for Warner!

Warner's ambitious "Superman" reboot plan, "The Flash", "Aquaman", "Justice League" and other popular comic book IPs, urgently need a legendary director to take over and integrate into a cinematic universe!

However, just like last time he was rejected by Wu Yuan without hesitation, this time Warner came to the door, Wu Yuan was still very moved, and then declined politely.

The DC Cinematic Universe is really a hot potato, and the opening work of the DC Cinematic Universe in the true sense of the word, "Superman: Man of Steel", has word-of-mouth and box office results.

In addition, DC's "Justice League" has made Zadao miserable.

What is the status of Zadao in the DC Cinematic Universe?

It can be said that without him, there would be no DC Cinematic Universe, and there would be no rescue of "Superman: Man of Steel", but as a result, Director Za was still pitted by Warner on the "Justice League" project, and he didn't even have the editing rights.

Wu Yuan didn't want to wade into this muddy water.

Now that he has achieved fame and fortune in Hollywood, he doesn't need to "save the DC Cinematic Universe" to prove himself.

On the contrary, taking over this project may make him "late in the future"!

After wisely declining Warner again, Wu Yuan didn't even stay, and rushed back to China with Liu Yifei the next day.

Rather than being a dog for Warner, he is more interested in the Chinese romance film he is going to make next.

In the past few months of giving himself a vacation, Wu Yuan has been perfecting his new movie script in addition to messing around at home.

This time for the new Chinese film, he plans to completely let himself go.

I don't think about what box office, what art is not art, and I don't think about what the audience expects, I just want to make a movie that really belongs to me and what I want to make.

It has been ten years since he officially entered the industry in 2000.

In ten years, Wu Yuan has grown from a rookie director to one of the world's leading contemporary directors, with remarkable achievements in the fields of literary and commercial films, and is a talented director praised by the outside world, and the best director in the 21st century in the Chinese summer in the European film population.

However, most of his achievements are due to the gift of dreams and memories.

These movies he made seem to belong to him in the eyes of the outside world, but Wu Yuan himself knows that these works are only carried by his hands, he is a creator, but not a creator.

And this time, after tempering himself for ten years, coupled with the 20 years of ups and downs in the industry in his dream, Wu Yuan wanted to really try it and make a movie of his own.

Regardless of whether the final result is good or bad, he will be accepted and recognized by fans or discarded, he will gladly accept it.

No director can succeed in his life, and he has never made a bad movie.

No director will stay in his comfort zone forever and dare not try to break through.

There are some things that you have to face sooner or later.

This day will always come, unless he plans to close the film after 2022 and never make movies again.

Otherwise, while Yu Ze still has the memory in his dream now, he should also try to take the first step.

Of course, Wu Yuan, who has always been conservative, gave himself the first "toss", and the scene was not too big, just a low-cost love drama.

He has been writing the script for this movie since the end of last year, and after a thorough holiday in the last three months, he has carefully polished it, and finally wrote the script that he thought was perfect.

This is a story born from a love letter that transcends time and space.
