Chapter 438 Ten billion director
""Taken 2" is estimated to have a global box office of $[-] million."

"Lee Sheng Yew's another movie that broke the US$[-] million mark."

"Amazing, Director Lee is definitely the best commercial film in Asia."

"Wow, Director Li is so powerful, when will he make a literary film, when will he win an award?"

"The first Chinese film director with tens of billions of dollars, Lee Sing Yew can rival Spielberg in the future."

"It has to be said that he is too strong. He is not yet 30 years old, and he has personally directed more than [-] billion films."

"Lee Shing Yew: The most successful Chinese director in Hollywood."

"Ann Lee: I'm not as good as Lee Shengyao, he's better than me."

……

In a high-end residential area in Xuanwu District of Yanjing, in a commercial building, the great director Wu Yusen held the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help frowning.

Wu Yusen had already moved to the Mainland. He saw that housing prices in the Mainland were rising rapidly, so he bought a flat in Yanjing.

Recently, he is conceiving a new movie. In order to find inspiration, he often reads newspapers, goes to the park to watch old men and women doing morning exercises, and also goes to Yanjing West Railway Station to watch the North Drifters.

The weather is still cold recently, there is heating at home, but Wu Yusen has always been very decent, he also wears a suit at home, very formal.

When filming "Red Cliff", I first encountered Zhou Runfa's resignation, and then the filming period was in summer, and the situation continued. For a 62-year-old man, he was actually very tired.

He originally planned to rest for half a year or a year, but he couldn't stay idle, and Wanwan Hong Kong Island hoped that he could stand up, and bring more young actors from these two places, so he began to think about new movies.

This morning he went out for morning exercise and bought a few newspapers by the way. Looking at the newspapers at this time, he felt uncomfortable.

An old lady with a round face, kind face, smiling eyes, and an apron around her waist brought out a bowl of lean meat porridge, and then took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

"I'm eating porridge."

This old lady is Wu Yusen's wife, Niu Chunlong.

She was originally a screenwriter for Shaw Brothers, and she met Wu Yusen when she was young. The two have been married for more than [-] years and gave birth to three children for Wu Yusen. Not only can she manage the family, but she can also help Lao Wu at work. Helped.

"Old man, what are you looking at? It's time to eat."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yusen put down the newspaper, and then said, "Don't the media in the mainland know how to check the information?"

Niu Chunlong turned his head and glanced.

"Lee Sheng Yew - Asia's first billionaire director."

"Any questions?"

"Of course there is a problem. He definitely doesn't have 100 billion, and I don't even have 100 billion. I am the director with the highest cumulative box office in Asia."

Hearing this, Niu Chunlong tilted her head and thought for a while, "It seems like, you should be a little more than him."

Wu Yusen has made a total of six films in Hollywood, "Ultimate Target", "Wind Talker", "Broken Arrow", "Memory Rift", "Mission: Impossible 2", and "Face Changing".

Among them, "Mission: Impossible 2" was [-] million, and "Face Changing" was [-] million, which are considered high box office.

The total box office of his career adds up to almost 90 billion RMB/RMB

There are currently three large-scale releases of the films directed by Li Shengyao in the beautiful country. Although the box office of each film is high, the number is too small. The total box office of his career should be close to 90 billion, not as many as Wu Yusen.

A smile appeared on Wu Yusen's tense face, he was a little proud, "Is it true that I am obviously more than him, if you want to brag about me, I have accumulated more box office than him in Hollywood, I am the most successful in Hollywood Chinese director."

Niu Chunlong hummed twice, but did not answer.

"What do you mean?"

"I advise you not to say that to reporters, otherwise many people will ridicule you."

"It's a fact, there's nothing to laugh at."

Niu Chunlong ignored Wu Yusen, bowed her head and drank the porridge. After finishing a bowl of porridge, she said, "You are in your thirties. He was not born when you became the director."

The first film directed by Wu Yusen was "The Passenger" in [-], and Lee Sing Yew was indeed not born at that time.

Old Wu felt that his face was a little hot, so he smiled embarrassingly.

"You have made more than [-] films so far, and there are only a few others, not ten."

"When you compare with him, the media reporters won't laugh at you."

Old Wu didn't dare to refute, so he smiled wryly and drank the porridge.

Niu Chunlong continued: "And look at Director Li's resume. His movies have never lost money. This man is simply a genius. Except for Spielberg, I have never watched a commercial film without losing money. people."

Old Wu felt that not only his face, but also his neck, arms and feet were hot.

This is really incomparable. In fact, when he was in Hong Kong Island, he couldn't get along for a while, and went to Wanwan to shoot movies for two years. Later, he relied on "The True Colors of a Hero" to make a comeback.

As for the trip to Hollywood, "Windtalker" and "Memory Rift" both lost money.

"Wind Talker" invested [-] million yuan, and the global box office was [-] billion yuan.

"Memory Rift" is his last film in Hollywood, with an investment of 6000 million US dollars and a global box office of [-] million.

He made too many films in the bend of Hong Kong Island in his early years. It is not certain whether the profit ratio of directing films is [-]% or not.

Niu Chunlong saw Lao Wu's shrunken appearance, curled his lips, "Be careful what you say to the reporter, Director Li also has "Taken 3", this movie has already been filmed, and the release has 100 billion, which is more than you. "

"Not to mention, he still has "The Hangover". After that, he will make a series of movies, and the box office will be even higher."

"If you get [-] billion in the mainland, it's not as good as someone else gets [-] million in the beautiful country."

Wu Yusen knew that his wife was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and offend Director Li, so he nodded immediately, "Got it, got it."

Niu Chunlong served another bowl of porridge for Wu Yusen, "Come, have some porridge."

Wu Yusen held the bowl and sipped the porridge honestly.

Seeing this, Niu Chunlong nodded in satisfaction, "You don't have to be discouraged. There is absolutely no need to compare people of different eras. If you compare with Tsui Hark and Huang Baiming, who can compare with you?"

Hearing this, Wu Yusen felt much better, and he finished his porridge happily.

Niu Chunlong then turned and went to the kitchen.

Wu Yusen took the newspaper and continued to read it. He found that there were a lot of news that boasted about Lee Sing Yew. He bought five newspapers, and each of them contained articles that boasted about Lee Sing Yew.

He was both envious and emotional.

Just like what Niu Chunlong said, he was in his thirties older than Li Shengyao, he made movies, and Li Shengyao was not born yet.

If he was about the same age as Lee Shing Yew, he would definitely have to fight over who is the number one director of Chinese commercial films.

But now it's really boring.

He is less than 30 years old, and he has such achievements.

As long as you are not blind, you must admit that Director Li is really good in the field of commercial films.

"However... I have more than 3 million movies in the mainland, and he doesn't have any."
