Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

Alfonso Cuarón was extremely efficient, and flew to the capital with his team the very next day.

Yu Le received this Hollywood genius at the headquarters of Salty Fish Entertainment.

The two talked in the conference room for the entire afternoon.

From script details to special effects, and even camera movement.

Alfonso is a complete tech fanatic.

"Yu, in order to capture the most realistic sense of weightlessness, we need to customize an unprecedented photography system!" He excitedly sketched on the whiteboard.

"I've come up with a solution using a twelve-axis industrial robotic arm, paired with a gyroscope stabilizer, and combined with virtual reality preview technology..."

This solution is not only complex, but also very expensive.

But Yu Le simply waved his hand and approved the budget.

Problems that can be solved with money are never really problems.

The preparation for a large-scale international production is particularly complicated.

Art direction and set design, coordination with the special effects team, robotic arm production...

Conservatively estimated, the preliminary preparations will take at least one and a half months.

.........

Space center.

During this period, Liu Qianqian lived in the dormitory of the training center.

They completely cut off all contact with the outside world.

Yu Le would go there every few days.

That afternoon.

Yu Le carried two insulated containers and walked into the training hall.

Liu Qianqian just got out of the centrifuge.

She was wearing a gray training uniform, her hair soaked with sweat and lying limply against her cheeks.

His steps were unsteady, and he needed to hold onto the wall to stand.

Instructor Lei stood to the side, holding a stopwatch, his face expressionless.

Yu Le walked over and unscrewed the thermos.

Inside is stewed bird's nest with rock sugar and pork rib soup until tender.

Liu Qianqian walked over and plopped down on the bench.

She reached out to take the soup bowl.

Yu Le, with her sharp eyes, noticed that her wrists were covered in redness and bruises caused by the spacesuit.

Yu Le's hand froze in mid-air.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Liu Qianqian followed his gaze and glanced at her wrist, then nonchalantly pulled her sleeve down a little.

"Dad, what are you standing there for? I'm starving!"

She picked up the bowl and drank the pork rib soup in big gulps.

Yu Le felt a pang of sadness as she watched her wolf down her food.

He pulled up a chair and sat down.

"If we really can't stand it, we'll use a stand-in."

Yu Le spoke calmly, but with a hint of heartache in her voice.

"Many high-difficulty stunts in Hollywood are done by stunt doubles, so there's nothing shameful about it."

Liu Qianqian swallowed the meat in her mouth.

He raised his head, his eyes exceptionally bright.

"Need not."

She placed the empty bowl beside her.

"This is my one-man show."

She stood up and stretched her sore shoulders.

He turned to look at Instructor Lei.

"Instructor, we've rested enough. What's next?"

For once, Instructor Lei's perpetually icy face showed a hint of appreciation.

"I'll practice handstands this afternoon to get my blood pumping."

Liu Qianqian took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the training equipment.

...........

April has arrived.

The film "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" has been officially scheduled for release.

The film received investment from Saltyfish Entertainment in its later stages, and the involvement of Saltyfish Entertainment's powerful post-production and marketing team greatly improved its production progress and marketing scale.

Three gold-embossed VIP movie tickets for the premiere were placed on the coffee table.

"Monkey King: Hero Is Back. Tonight at 8 PM. Wanda Cinema."

Yu Le, holding a thermos, leaned back on the sofa and announced to the little monkey in the house who was always jumping around.

"Wow! Monkey King! I want to see Monkey King fight the monsters!"

Yu Muchen jumped half a meter high on the spot, his face flushed with excitement.

Liu Xiaoli came out of the dressing room, holding a children's jacket in her hand.

"You may go. But there are three conditions."

Dongdong immediately stood at attention, his hands pressed tightly against the seams of his trousers, like a little soldier waiting for inspection.

"First, no loud noises. Second, no running around. Third, no crying or making a fuss about buying things."

Dongdong nodded vigorously, his voice booming, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Yu Lele was amused.

This kid can cause chaos at home, but the moment he's in front of his mom, he instantly becomes a model student. There's always someone who can subdue another.

.......

7:30 p.m., Wanda Cinema.

The hall was packed with people; there was hardly any room to put your feet down.

A huge poster for "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" hangs in the center.

On the poster, the monkey wearing a tattered red cloak has its back to the image.

Unruly and rebellious.

Dongdong, wearing a T-shirt with a Sun Wukong (Monkey King) pattern, excitedly bounced around on the spot.

"Dad, hurry up, the movie's about to start!"

Yu Le was wearing a baseball cap and black-rimmed glasses, and holding a thermos in his hand.

He held Liu Xiaoli tightly with one hand, protecting her to prevent her from being pushed around by the crowd.

Liu Xiaoli also disguised herself simply, wearing a mask and a casual trench coat.

His daughter was still undergoing grueling training, while he, as her father, was taking his wife and son out to watch cartoons. He felt a little guilty.

At worst, we can make it up to Liu Qianqian with a big meal after her training ends.

There's nothing a good meal can't solve; if there is, then two meals will do.

"What's the rush?"

Yu Le slowly took a sip of water.

"VIP tickets, no need to queue."

The three of them walked around the long ticket check line.

Head directly to the VIP entrance.

The ticket inspector glanced at the black gold card that Yu Le handed over and immediately and respectfully pulled open the barrier.

"Mr. Yu, please come in."

The spectators queuing around them cast curious and envious glances, whispering about who this big shot was, while Yu Le and his family of three had already disappeared at the end of the passage.

It's exactly eight o'clock.

The theater lights dimmed.

The dragon emblem flashed by.

The big screen lights up.

The opening is a stunning 3D ink-wash style animation.

The Monkey King wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals.

The golden cudgel stirs up the winds and clouds.

The colors in the painting are extremely intense, and the ink wash effect is perfected.

Dongdong immediately sat up straight.

His eyes were wide open.

He even forgot to eat the popcorn.

Then, the scene changes.

Five hundred years later.

Jiang Liuer makes his appearance.

The little monk, carrying a bamboo basket and muttering to himself, drew a few soft laughs from the audience.

The plot moves very quickly.

Mountain demons attacked Chang'an City.

Jiang Liuer accidentally entered the Five Elements Mountain in an attempt to save the little girl.

The seal on Sun Wukong has been broken.

When that long-faced, decadent, and powerless Sun Wukong appeared on the screen.

Many viewers were stunned.

This is completely different from the majestic Monkey King they had in mind.

He was irritable, cold, and even somewhat selfish.

He wore heavy, sealed chains on his wrists.

Dongdong turned her head and tugged at Yu Le's sleeve.

"Dad, what happened to Monkey King? How come he can't even beat a little monster?"
