Huayu 97: The Beginning of a Marriage Fraudulently

After Liu Yifei quickly got Chen Siyuan and Liu Xiaoli into the car, she patted her pounding heart.

We almost got caught.

"The artists are amazing. Even though I had my face completely changed, they still recognized me."

Liu Yifei was somewhat excited.

Chen Siyuan smiled and said, "You must be a die-hard fan of yours, you know me too well!"

"No, it must be because Dad is too handsome that he gave himself away!"

Liu Yifei was very confident; she could see clearly that they were several female fans.

Well, this little girl is really good at providing emotional value!

"Sissi, since your fans have said so, you should hurry up and arrange an offline meet-and-greet to surprise her!"

“If you don’t organize this soon, you might have even less time later, because your next movie is already in the planning stages.”

Chen Siyuan also made the suggestion.

"Okay!"

Liu Yifei nodded, then looked at Chen Siyuan with some curiosity, "Dad, is there any news about my new movie?"

"Yes, this time we're preparing to shoot a magnificent co-production fantasy epic about Dunhuang."

Chen Siyuan nodded.

"Is it the same script as last time?"

Liu Xiaoli was also somewhat curious.

Chen Siyuan shook his head. "It's not just one. This script is the first Hollywood-style script that Enlight Media's screenwriting department has created since they returned from studying abroad. It's somewhat similar to the style of 'Indiana Jones'."

"So, will you invite Hollywood stars to partner with Sissi?"

"Yeah, Little Li."

"Little plum?"

"It's Leonardo DiCaprio."

Liu Yifei frowned. "Dad, Leonardo DiCaprio's salary is very high, isn't it?"

"Although Leonardo DiCaprio didn't win an Oscar, his movie salary has indeed risen into the 2000 million club."

Chen Siyuan nodded.

"Isn't that too high a cost?"

"Yes, Siyuan, is it really necessary to cast Leonardo DiCaprio in such an experimental film?"

Liu Xiaoli was also a little apprehensive.

If Leonardo DiCaprio were to play the male lead, even if Liu Yifei were to act for free, the total actor fees would still be staggering.

"No problem. Merrick and the others have already evaluated the script. It's a Chinese style with a Hollywood veneer, and it will be very popular in the next two years!"

Chen Siyuan would naturally not fight a battle unprepared.

After Enlight Media completed its script, it had already held joint discussions with Miramax.

The final assessment result was that it was ready to be filmed, and it was also Merrick's idea to cast Leonardo DiCaprio as the male lead.

Actually, Leonardo DiCaprio initially refused.

However, after Merrick promised to tailor-make an Oscar-winning film for Leonardo DiCaprio in the future, DiCaprio finally wavered.

In addition, Leonardo DiCaprio was also deeply impressed by Yoo Ye-bi, who had also lost an Oscar, so he eventually agreed.

"Sisi, the full script will be given to you in the next couple of days. In this film, 'Dunhuang Code: The Light of the Silk Road,' you will be playing two roles, which is quite a challenge!"

Chen Siyuan looked at Liu Yifei and smiled.

Liu Yifei pumped her fist. "Don't worry, Dad, I'll work hard to make you money!"

Chen Siyuan laughed out loud when he heard this.

Liu Xiaoli grabbed Chen Siyuan's hand, "I still find it a bit unbelievable, is Xixi going to act in a Hollywood-style action blockbuster?"

“I could also get Sisi to play the lead role in a Hollywood blockbuster, but as you know, actresses in Hollywood blockbusters are often just decorative figures, which wouldn’t be very beneficial for Sisi. That’s why I had them go to great lengths to create a script for Sisi that has a Hollywood film exterior but a Chinese core.”

"Thank you, Dad!" Liu Yifei hugged Chen Siyuan, deeply moved.

Throughout the journey, Liu Yifei deeply felt Chen Siyuan's care and love.

"Silly girl, whatever you like, I'll give you the best!"

Chen Siyuan ruffled Liu Yifei's hair and laughed!
After returning home, Liu Yifei immediately contacted her agent to arrange an offline fan meeting.

On the one hand, I really want to thank the Yi family for their continued support.

On the other hand, it was also to give a surprise to the die-hard fans who almost didn't recognize her today.

For this reason, Liu Yifei specially pulled Chen Siyuan and Liu Xiaoli to take a photo with her current image.

This autographed photo will be given to that die-hard fan later.

Just as Liu Yifei was preparing for her offline fan meeting.

Enlight Media has also accelerated preparations for "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road".

The cost pressure of "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" is very high, with an initial budget of over 1 million US dollars!
The domestic box office certainly cannot support it.

Fortunately, the initial idea for "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" was to co-produce the film.

Two versions will be edited and released separately.

The version released in the United States will be edited entirely according to the style of the Hollywood film industry.

Initially, the plan was simply to collaborate with Miramax.

However, after Ronald Meyer learned of the news, Universal also joined the project.

Ronald Mayer is also very optimistic about the "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" project.

After Miramax and Universal joined, Wang Changtian's negotiations with Huaying went very smoothly.

Huaying not only invested itself, but also brought in the Gansu Cultural Tourism Fund.

Therefore, the final investment breakdown is as follows: China Film Group 10%, Enlight Media and Gansu Cultural Tourism Fund 30%, Miramax 30%, and Universal Pictures 30%.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Which of these domestic entertainment companies would dare to touch a project worth over $100 million?
Therefore, once the project was finalized, major entertainment companies rushed to participate.

They weren't going to make any money from the investment, and they weren't planning to put any more money in either.

But it's still possible to try for an acting role!

After all, the lead actors are Leonardo DiCaprio and Liu Yifei!
If you could join such a big project, your net worth would increase significantly.

Therefore, recently, executives of Enlight Media have been frequently invited to banquets by CEOs of other entertainment companies.

Everyone wants to cram people in!
The amount of pay doesn't matter; what matters is being able to join in.

Many people, including those in Hong Kong, have also contacted Li Guoli.

However, everyone in this industry is shrewd.

Who would dare make a promise before the big boss speaks up?

"Bro, isn't they afraid of messing up such a big project?"

Wang Zhonglei was shocked this time.

While they were still investing tens of millions of RMB, Enlight Media was already handling a multi-million dollar deal.

The difference is too big.

"Miramax and Universal Pictures have both joined. Do you think they are great philanthropists?"

Wang Zhongjun was also somewhat frustrated.

Before they knew it, Huayi Brothers had fallen behind Enlight Media again.

Look at the momentum of Enlight Media lately, no one else can compare!

"Brother, what do we do?"

"Find a way to squeeze someone in!" (End of Chapter)
