Chapter 374 Yesterday Reappears
Wu Yuchen chuckled inwardly. This girl is pretty and has a great figure, but she's not very bright! If it were Anne Hathaway, she would definitely have been all lovey-dovey with him first, and then casually ask about it during dinner. Why would she ask him right after waking up?

However, thinking about Megan Fox's actions in her previous life, he felt relieved.

In her previous life, Megan Fox became a huge star with "Transformers," but then she had a falling out with director Michael Bay during the filming of the sequel.

There are roughly two versions of the story. One version says that during the filming of "Transformers 2," Megan Fox wore heels over 10 centimeters high, but Michael Bay demanded that she run as fast as the soldiers and the male lead around her. This caused her heels to bleed, but Michael Bay didn't even blink and made her keep running. The two then had a falling out, and she voluntarily withdrew from the third film.

Another version of events comes from Megan Fox's public interview complaining about Michael Bay: "He's like Napoleon, trying to build his infamous madman image. He wanted to be Hitler on set, and he actually did it, he was! Working with him was a nightmare!"

Keep in mind that Michael Bay is Jewish, and comparing him to "Hitler" is absolutely outrageous. Furthermore, Transformers is a DreamWorks project, initiated by Spielberg. Describing a Jew as Hitler undoubtedly touches a nerve with Jewish people, and this one sentence offended the entire project's leadership. Spielberg then directly ordered her removal, and a new female lead was added to the third Transformers film.

Looking at Megan Fox's beautiful face, Wu Yuchen lingered on her smooth thighs. Her emotional intelligence was a little low, but she wasn't completely stupid. She could be properly trained to expose these unspoken rules.

Oh, and her face too—we can't let her get plastic surgery in the future. Megan Fox was originally quite beautiful, but she ruined her face with repeated plastic surgeries. You might find it hard to imagine why a beauty like her, known for her looks, would keep getting plastic surgery?

It's actually quite simple: they've lost their popularity, or their fame has declined. In the entertainment industry, many female celebrities are very sensitive about their appearance, especially those who rose to fame based on their looks, knowing full well that this is what they rely on for their livelihood.

Once they encounter failure, face external doubts, or experience a decline in fame, their first thought is: Am I not as pretty as I used to be? Do they not like me anymore? Is the public tired of seeing my face? Are they fed up with it? Yes, this is commonly known as appearance anxiety.

As the most watched people, many celebrities suffer from appearance anxiety under the spotlight, and it's not just female celebrities. With the rise of idol culture and fan circles, many male celebrities who rely on their looks, especially those with refined appearances, experience even more severe appearance anxiety.

Some actors overcome their appearance anxiety by improving their acting skills, while others choose plastic surgery, as it seems simpler. Once they start, they can't stop; they only get more and more involved, some to the point where they look like they've been completely transformed.

Without a doubt, Megan Fox embarked on this path of no return in her past life. Her popularity declined after "Transformers 2," and she tried to prove her acting skills by taking an art-house route, but to no avail. She did have another success with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," but things didn't work out after that, and then she started getting plastic surgery repeatedly.

However, Wu Yuchen thought about it again and realized that it would be 10 years from now, which was still a long time. By then, he would have had enough fun and would give her a reminder. Whether she listened or not was up to her.

Director Wu is very patient with these beautiful young women. It is his duty to guide them to strive for excellence and embark on the right path!

In a flash, seeing Megan Fox still staring at him with wide eyes, Wu Yuchen smiled and said, "Oh, my little fox, do you think this is enough to get the role?"

Hearing Wu Yuchen's words, Megan Fox winked coquettishly, then snuggled into his arms again, nuzzling her head against his chest, her tongue tracing patterns on his skin...

While Spielberg was reviewing the pre-production materials for "Transformers," his phone rang. He answered and saw it was Wu Yuchen.
"Steven, are you free? Let's have dinner together tomorrow."

Spielberg thought to himself, "Didn't we just eat together yesterday?" But he immediately smiled and said, "Of course, no problem!"

"Let's go to the same restaurant as yesterday. I think the food there suits my taste."

"Haha, okay, then I'll make a reservation in advance."

At noon, in the same restaurant and the same private room, Spielberg entered and found Wu Yuchen already waiting inside. Unlike yesterday when he was alone, today Wu Yuchen was accompanied by a beautiful woman!
Upon seeing Spielberg enter, Wu Yuchen patted Megan Fox beside him and said with a smile:

“Megan, this is your Uncle Spielberg.”

"Hello, Uncle Spielberg!" Megan Fox greeted Spielberg with a warm smile.

Spielberg seemed a little dazed upon hearing this, as if the scene were playing out yesterday. He immediately understood the purpose of today's dinner, and a smile returned to his face.

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen smiled and said, "Isn't that how it is? You put your people in, I'll put mine in, and we'll all be happy."

Two days later, at the interview, Wu Yuchen, Spielberg, Michael Bay, and several others were present. Wu Yuchen asked in a serious tone, "Ms. Fox, do you think your waist is beautiful?"

Megan Fox answered confidently, "I think it's great!"

After she finished speaking, she started walking with a catwalk. Today, she specially wore a pink, tight-fitting crop top, which accentuated her ample breasts, and her sexy waist and pert buttocks swayed slightly with each step, exuding charm from head to toe.

Then Spielberg asked again, "Ms. Fox, can you run?"

"Of course!"

After Megan finished answering, she started running. Her running wasn't the kind of casual, arm-swinging run many young girls have; instead, it exuded a powerful, healthy beauty. Of course, it also radiated a captivating sexiness, a touch of wild charm. These were all the key points Wu Yuchen had imparted to her yesterday.

At this moment, Spielberg whispered to Michael Bay beside him, "Very good, perfectly meets our requirements, the kind that guys like the most!" Wu Yuchen added from the side, "Girls will like it too. She doesn't just look like a pretty face, but represents the independent woman advocated by the modern feminist movement."

Listening to the conversation between the two sides, Michael Bay felt a little annoyed. It wasn't that he disagreed with what they were saying, but as the director of "Transformers," he felt powerless to intervene since the male and female leads had already been decided.

Therefore, he couldn't help but say, "But she's practically a complete newcomer, with no fame whatsoever. Can she really carry a 1.5 million dollar production as the female lead?"

Faced with Michael Bay's question, Wu Yuchen smiled and, instead of directly commenting on Megan Fox, said:

“Michael, you should know that the real protagonists of Transformers are actually those big guys. I have a lot of confidence in you and that you can fully showcase the charm of these big guys to the audience.”

Michael Bay understood that this girl was someone Wu Yuchen was protecting, and Wu Yuchen promised to fully trust him as the director during filming, not to give arbitrary orders, and not to interfere with filming matters.

Having received this assurance, Michael Bay felt somewhat relieved and nodded, saying, "Then let's go with her. She's really great!"

After the huge financial loss with "The Island," Michael Bay is now directing "Transformers," a blockbuster worth $1.5 million. He is well aware of his situation and knows that if investor and producer Wu Yuchen wants to get involved, he may not be able to withstand the pressure.

Now, he felt it was worthwhile to exchange a leading lady for Wu Yuchen's verbal guarantee and promise. And to be honest, Megan Fox in front of him truly matched his image of a leading lady; she was the most suitable among the several candidates, even more pleasing to the eye than Spielberg's godson who had won the leading role. If it weren't for Spielberg's recommendation, he really wouldn't have chosen her.

"Dear Wu, how did I do? Are you satisfied?"

Megan, who had already won over the leading lady, was overjoyed, swaying her alluring figure and freely expressing her passion. A moment later, the sexy and hot beauty twisted her waist and pert buttocks, fragrant sweat sliding down her back, and asked in Wu Yuchen's arms.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Wu Yuchen laughed and said, "Oh, Megan, that's not enough. You know, you're supposed to be playing a female driver who can speed, your speed and frequency aren't fast enough~"

Megan Fox, listening to Wu Yuchen's words, her eyes, which had been full of allure and charm, turned into a pitiful expression: "Oh, Wu, I've done my best, can you help me?"

Feeling Megan Fox's little hand drawing circles on his chest, and watching her alluring, foxy eyes constantly casting flirtatious glances at him, Wu Yuchen clicked his tongue in admiration, "What a little vixen!"

How could he refuse a beautiful woman's advances?

Wu Yuchen helped Megan Fox up. Since her engine wasn't powerful enough to go fast, he'd just have to give her a boost!

As Wu Yuchen moved, Megan quickly let out a scream of shock at the 300 km/h speed.

……

While Wu Yuchen was fighting hard in Hollywood, Chen Kaizi on the other side of the ocean was also making a full mobilization, because "The Promise" was about to be released!

Chen Kaizi is now feeling a great sense of crisis, not because of Wu Yuchen, but because of Zhang Yimou!
In recent years, Zhang Yimou's box office success with films like "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" has already put some pressure on Chen Kaige. But what's even more crucial is that Zhang Yimou shamelessly tried to curry favor with Wu Yuchen, teaming up with him to participate in the Olympic Games!
Just a few months ago, he was laughing at Zhang Yimou, especially after the split between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Fei and the allegations of ultrasound violations against him. At that time, Zhang Yimou was practically universally condemned, and Chen Kaizi thought he was definitely out of the running for the Olympics. Unexpectedly, he and Wu Yuchen teamed up to run for the Olympics. According to his information, the higher-ups were very satisfied with their proposal and had practically secured them the position of Olympic director!

This greatly increased Chen Kaizi's crisis. He was well aware of the significance of the Olympics in China, and Zhang Yimou was trying to turn his career around through Wu Yuchen! Chen Kaizi could never catch up with Wu Yuchen, but he absolutely could not tolerate Zhang Yimou riding on his head again!

Therefore, Chen Kaizi went all out this time, putting in a lot of effort to promote the release of "The Promise," using all his past connections and having his friends in the industry mobilize their resources to support it.

It must be said that Chen Kaizi is quite adept at networking, and has made quite a few friends over the years. In addition, the investors this time are also quite supportive, with China Film Group involved. Therefore, the publicity for "The Promise" before its release is also very impressive, with reports all over newspapers, television, and the internet.

Moreover, Chen Kaizi has publicly announced that he not only aims for high box office returns but also wants to compete for next year's Oscars, which is quite high-profile.

Actually, "The Promise" is still following the Hong Kong route for its Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. There's no way around it; the mainland's quota has already been taken by "Departures," so it can't use it even if it wanted to. Fortunately, this time, Hong Kong capital is also among the investors of "The Promise," so securing Hong Kong's Oscar nomination was easy.

This immediately sparked public curiosity, since there was already "Hero" before. Now that director Chen Kaige is aiming for the Oscars again, the movie title "The Promise" sounds pretty good. Maybe it will be even better than "Hero"?

The cast of "The Promise" is similar to that of the previous film. Many movie fans have questioned why the male lead is played by a Korean actor, Xiao Rizi, instead of a Chinese actor.

Wu Yuchen could understand Kai Zi's point of view, because the investors in "The Promise" were not just China Film Group, but also Japanese and South Korean capital, so naturally there were South Korean and Japanese actors.

Kai Zi's prestige and achievements have declined in recent years. Back when he was filming "The Emperor and the Assassin," even with funding from four countries, he insisted on using only Chinese actors. But now, with declining performance, pressure from investors, and pressure from Zhang Yimou, he has no choice but to use these foreign actors.

Just by looking at the cast, you can tell that Jang Dong-gun from South Korea, Hiroyuki Sanada from Japan, Tse Ting-fung and Cheung Pak-chi from Hong Kong, and Liu Ye from mainland China, Kai hopes that his film "The Promise" can become a box office hit in all four regions, creating an Asian craze. His ambition for the box office is huge!
