In the past two days, both Cannes and Venice have sent invitations to Cheng Yuan. The former invited him to go to France to be an award guest, and the latter invited him to go to Water City to be the chairman.

Cannes time did not allow for it, and "The Wandering Earth" was not finished in May, so Cheng Yu'an pushed it.

He no longer wanted to serve as jury president for a film festival. He was too tired and wanted to turn down the invitation to Venice.

However, Alberto Barbara invited her again and again, and Cheng Yu'an, thinking of her relationship with Venice, took a step back and agreed to present the award when the time came.

Cheng Yu'an was already very late when he was in the world, and it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning after the summary meeting.

Yawning, I returned to the hotel and received a video call from Liu Yifei from Beijing.

"What are you doing so late?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

Looking at Liu Yifei, she seemed to have called herself in the bathroom.

"The baby is asleep." Liu Yifei said softly. She had just finished playing and walked to the bedside with her cell phone. The little one was sleeping so soundly.

His head was tilted to one side, his right hand was raised to his mouth, and his left hand was under the quilt.

"Let me show you how your daughter sleeps." Liu Yifei said and gently lifted Qiqi's quilt.

I saw her body twisted to the other side, with her legs spread apart like a horse.

In conjunction with the placement of her two hands, the posture should be as weird as possible and as fun as possible.

Cheng Yu'an chuckled: "Put the quilt on."

"I won't be honest when sleeping now, and will kick me." Liu Yifei said, straightening the girl's hands and feet, and covering her with a quilt.

The two exchanged a few words across the screen.

"We have to get up early tomorrow," Liu Yifei took the initiative to end the call, "That's it, you go to bed quickly."

Cheng Yu'an could hardly keep his eyes open and nodded: "You should go to bed early too. Haha -" ending with a yawn.

Without his wife by his side, Cheng Yu'an was lazy. It was so late and he didn't want to take a shower. He wiped his face randomly, took off his clothes, rolled on the bed and fell asleep.

Cheng Yu'an woke up after sleeping for about four hours, washed up, and rushed to the cafeteria to have breakfast with the actors.

Having worked on the set all year round, Cheng Yuan knows the importance of eating. Once the camera is turned on, he will work day and night.

So whether he has an appetite or not, he will make himself full.

Not only that, his assistant also carries a variety of energy-supplementing snacks in his bag, and Cheng Yu'an will eat some whenever he thinks of them.

When Cheng Yu'an arrived at the hotel cafeteria, the actors were already eating.

Cheng Yu'an filled a bowl of porridge himself, sat next to Uncle Da, and grabbed two eggs from the big bowl, peeled them and ate them.

While eating, he said: "I didn't eat much last night. I'm so hungry. You guys eat. Come on, Mai Mai, eat an egg. It's time for you to grow, so eat more." As he said, he mixed his eggs evenly.

I gave one to Zhao Jinmai.

"I have to give the hotel some advice. This side dish is a bit boring and not tasty. It's not as good as the pickled mustards that cost 1 yuan a pack outside."

"Eat yours, some of them won't stop your mouth." Uncle Da took a plate of side dishes and placed it in front of Cheng Yu'an.

This was his first time working with Cheng Yu'an, and Cheng Yu'an left a very good impression on him.

Uncle Da has endured hardship and seen the world.

In Hong Kong, bosses with a net worth like Cheng Yu'an almost never work on the front line of the film crew. They are more of a nominal producer or producer, and most of their energy is spent on the management and operation of the company.

But Cheng Yu'an is different. He doesn't seem to know or care about his enviable wealth. He is more willing and enjoys working on the crew.

He would stay up late with the crew and often argue with the producers and screenwriters at meetings.

He prefers his role as a director.

Uncle Ta thought for a while, not to mention the younger generation in Hong Kong, even the older generation of directors, with Cheng Yu'an's rich net worth, would no longer make movies.

Uncle Da is now in his prime, and his pursuit of wealth is not as persistent as when he was young. He just wants to live longer and film two more good movies.

Cheng Yuan possesses the most essential love and passion for movies that is rare among the younger generation of filmmakers that he admires.

Although working on his crew is tiring, Uncle Da is very satisfied.

The actors at the same table finished eating and rushed to the set, leaving Cheng Yu'an eating alone.

Cheng Yuan's good appetite suits Wu Jing very much.

"Come on, eat more. Men should eat more. How can you work if you don't eat enough?" Wu Jing peeled another egg for him.

Cheng Yu'an took Wu Jing's egg and said, "If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. I'm full."

Cheng Yu'an drank a large bowl of porridge, three eggs, two fried dough sticks, and couldn't eat any more for breakfast.

Wiping his mouth, he led the remaining actors to the set.

Although the director of "The Wandering Earth" is Cheng Yu'an, Cheng Yu'an will not be responsible for shooting all the shots of the movie.

He will give some simple shots to the executive director to shoot.

That's it today, Cheng Yu'an's specific scenes in the studio, some empty shots were shot by his executive director.

According to the pre-made shooting plan, the crew will give priority to filming Wu Jing's scenes.

There will be a big drama today. Liu Peiqiang suspects that Moss has defected, and together with Komarov escapes from the dormant capsule and goes to the space station control room in an attempt to seize control of the space station and buy time for the earth.

This scene was scheduled for a full month in the crew's shooting plan.

If the filming goes well, Wu Jing will be given two additional scenes after this scene and he will finish them all.

The difficulty of this scene is not inside the space station, but in outer space.

While Wu Jing was changing clothes, Cheng Yuan was beside him and told him the scene in detail.

"Okay, let's go through it first." After Cheng Yu'an finished speaking, he took the script and walked away.

…………

As for the outside world, the entertainment industry was relatively calm in mid-March.

"Zootopia" completely suppressed "Ip Man 3".

For the time being, these two dramas are the only ones worth buying tickets on the market. The war is almost over and there is less attention.

After the scuffle at the beginning of the year, various film companies have released few major materials and are all preparing for their own new films.

On the remote side, it’s because of what Cheng Yu’an said before: “This little girl has signed such a long contract with the company, so she can’t always hang out in variety shows.”

This year the company will appropriately allocate resources to Nazha.

But considering Nazha's actual situation, it is impossible for the company to praise her like Tong Liya.

She can't afford such a big production either.

So I only considered giving her some dramas with solid scripts and less complex characters.

Chen Zhixi personally contacted her about Dapeng's new play "The Sewing Machine Band", in which there was a role of Ding Jianguo that suited her very well.

Nazha probably also knows her level and the position the company has given her - a top vase.

There is nothing wrong with this positioning.

What acting awards have Li Jiaxin and Qiu Shuzhen won? After shooting the vase, they are still popular.

She also knows that her level is not close to the big productions produced by great directors, so it would be good to act in some small and medium-cost productions.

So he didn't refuse "Sewing Machine Band" either.

But Chen Zhixi comforted her: "Perform well. After you finish this supporting role, I will find you a drama with a female lead."
Chapter completed!
