"Still shooting?"

"Hmm."

"My new movie lacks a heroine."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei just wanted to complain, but she immediately swallowed it back, grabbed Wu Yuan's collar with her eyes shining and asked, "Your new movie?" ”

"Aren't you going to work with Matt Damon in your next movie, and you're going to star him in that movie?"

"Not that." Wu Yuan shook his head and explained: "Before making this movie, I plan to make a Chinese film first. ”

"The cost is not large, I pay for the auction myself, and I don't take the company's account."

"Huh?" The light in Liu Yifei's eyes was even greater, "Is it a movie that wants to win awards?" ”

Wu Yuan looked at her with a smile: "Of course not, it should be considered a commercial film, a commercial literary romance film, the same as "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" directed by Yimou. ”

"Romance?" Liu Yifei frowned: "You want to make a commercial romance film?" ”

In the past few years, there have been no big commercial romance movies.

Zhang Yimou's "Love of the Hawthorn Tree" only got a little more than 200 million at the box office in the end, which is not brilliant in terms of Zhang Yimou's commercial film results.

Romance movies are like this, it is easy to have a situation where they are not popular.

Including Zhang Guorong's "If Love", it was also well received, and won a lot of awards, but the box office results were not brilliant that year.

The only romantic film that can be regarded as popular and popular in the past ten years is the "Those Years" written by Wu Yuan.

However, "Those Years" is not only about love, this is a very thorough youth film, taking the route of memory killing, and the audience is not actually watching the hazy love story between the male and female protagonists, but looking at themselves when they were young.

Including "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", in fact, it also bears the mark of the era, which can make some audiences feel the purity that belongs to the previous era, which makes the box office reputation of this movie very good.

What is Wu Yuan's new movie like?

Under Liu Yifei's curious gaze, Wu Yuan simply explained: "It's not a modern romance film in the full sense. ”

"I still played with the concept of space-time sci-fi."

"The beginning of the story began with a letter sent from a hundred years ago."

"The male protagonist took out a hundred-year-old desk from the old goods market, and after buying it home, he found a secret letter from a girl 100 years ago from the secret compartment of the desk."

In the letter, the girl recounts the troubles she is facing and hopes that things will turn around.

"The actor looked interesting, and at the same time he was idle, so he wrote a reply."

Originally, he just took this incident as a joke, but he didn't expect that the next day, he really received a reply.

"A reply from a hundred years ago."

"And so the story began."

Wu Yuan didn't continue, but Liu Yifei could already think about how this story would develop next.

A girl who lived a hundred years ago and a boy who lives in the present are connected across time and space through the way of writing letters.

A wonderful and romantic love story unfolds.

"It's really your style." Liu Yifei smiled and sighed: ""Your Name" only spanned a 3-year time gap, and this time you went directly to a hundred years ago. ”

"A hundred years ago, it was still the Republic of China, right?"

"Well, to be precise, it was 1925, the fourteenth year of the Republic of China, and 90 years ago." Wu Yuan nodded: "One in 2015 and one in 1925, love across time and space." ”

Not to mention, just at this beginning, Liu Yifei was very interested.

"What about the male protagonist?" Liu Yifei asked a little nervously: "Who will play the leading role?" ”

"The small crew, the funds are not enough, so I can only do it myself as a director." Wu Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Yay!" Liu Yifei pounced and wrapped his hands around Wu Yuan's neck.

The first-class seats were still a little crowded, but she still stuck to Wu Yuan: "Comrade Xiao Wu, you have enlightened yourself this time!" ”

"I'm satisfied!"

The corners of Wu Yuan's mouth curled, and he reached out to caress her back, "Don't make trouble, it's on the plane." ”

The mother-in-law next door was already looking at her curiously.

"I won't!" Liu Yifei rarely showed a little coquettish emotion, and said happily: "I like to film with you." ”

"That might be going to be disappointed." Wu Yuan said with a smile: "In this movie, we may not have a rivalry." ”

"You were a hundred years ago, how could we possibly meet?"

"It's fine." Liu Yifei said indifferently: "We just stay together in the crew." ”

"Hehe, senior brother, you are still the most handsome when you are making movies, so I love to make movies with you."

Wu Yuan felt that a cold sweat had appeared on his back.

Liu Yifei, who is like an idiot, has never seen it in his two lives combined!

Liu Yifei held in his arms for a while before he raised his head and remembered what he hadn't asked: "Then what is this movie called?" ”

"'Love Letter', a love letter that spans a hundred years."

"Love letters?!" Liu Yifei exclaimed.

When the word "Love Letter" is mentioned, most people's first impression comes to mind of that Japanese movie.

The movie that made Takashi Kashiwahara, the last beautiful man in the century, popular in Asia.

"It's just the same name." Wu Yuan shook his head and explained.

In fact, the idea of this love letter is also based on the popular Asian "Love Letter", but Wu Yuan has re-adapted a new story on the core of the Japanese "Love Letter".

It can be said to be a tribute, but the story itself really has no connection to the original.

"In every director's heart, there is a love letter sent from the past." Wu Yuan said: "This love letter of mine will not be a missed love letter at least. ”

"Regret is indeed the main theme of most romance films, and it is also an emotion that most people will experience in love."

"But there are enough regrets, I just want to bring the audience a movie that can make people smile and have no regrets."

Wu Yuan, who used to be very pessimistic about love, met Liu Yifei in this life, and the hole in love can be said to be filled.

His view of love has also undergone a very big change.

Now let him write about sadomasochism, regret missing out, etc., he really can't write it, and he doesn't want to write it.

Why miss out?

Why regret it?

His love is very beautiful!

People who love beautiful love can't create any sadomasochistic literature, let alone make any sad movies that flow against the current.

"This movie is a test of the waters." Wu Yuan touched Liu Yifei's head: "It's not a big fanfare, it's enough for our husband and wife to join forces to shoot it!" ”
