China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 918 The Incarnation of God
At Beijing Capital International Airport, a Bombardier 300 private business jet with a red and white livery is making final preparations for takeoff.

In the VIP lounge on the second floor, Sun Yi, Liu Yifei, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, and James Wan, who were about to return to the United States, sat around the floor-to-ceiling windows, saying their final goodbyes.

"Leon, Tom, Ziren, in a week, Sisi and I are in Bali for a thank-you wedding banquet, which includes our honeymoon. If you have time, you can come. This time, I won't be your best man; it's just for relaxation, and I'll cover all the expenses."

After Sun Yi and Liu Yifei's wedding, the three of them were quite tired. They rested in Beijing for a day and decided to return to the United States today.

Sun Yi and Liu Yifei had originally considered leaving the three of them in Beijing to enjoy the Chinese New Year, but then they thought about their status as newlyweds this year and how they would inevitably have to visit relatives and friends.

Although both families stayed in Beijing this year, making it relatively convenient to travel back and forth, it's not like they can just meet and leave, especially during the Lunar New Year.

So, I didn't have time to spend with the three of them.

So, we simply didn't keep them.

Sun Yi was very grateful for the help the three of them had given him.

So, I'm planning to take advantage of the brand's sponsorship and cover part of the cost myself so my friends can have a good vacation.

Not only the three of them, but also their friends in China, he and Liu Yifei were notified.

"Is this what they call 'publicly funded travel,' boss? I really like your suggestion."

Tom rubbed his greasy hair, showing off his newly learned Chinese with a smug look on his face.

To be honest, his expression was actually quite accurate.

Americans don't celebrate Chinese New Year, so the three of them went back to enjoy their holiday. Compared to Los Angeles, which is also in winter, Bali, which is closer to the equator, is clearly more cost-effective.

“That’s a great idea, fantastic! Sunshine! Beach! Beautiful bikinis.” Little Li was saying when he suddenly noticed Liu Yifei’s ambiguous smile and immediately stopped talking.

He was terrified on the day of the wedding banquet; he had never seen a woman drink so much.

That's baijiu (Chinese liquor).

He tried a few sips of this stuff, and soon he was hooked, so he didn't dare drink too much.

Who would have thought that Liu Yifei could drink like it was water, knocking out three grown men so easily?

He dared not act recklessly in front of Liu Yifei, fearing that this woman might suddenly grab him and say, "If you're a man, then do it!"

You ask him whether he'll drink it or not.

Leonardo DiCaprio's innocent expression made Liu Yifei laugh.

Today, she changed her usual ladylike style, wearing a comfortable-looking off-white cashmere coat, her jet-black hair was piled up high, two strings of pearls dangled by her ears, her pretty face was lightly made up, and a veil was loosely wrapped around her neck. She had shed the splendor of her wedding, but looked even more gentle and graceful as a newlywed.

She has the look of a typical young married woman.

The young woman, Liu, smiled radiantly and teased Leonardo DiCaprio, "Leon, if you could come, I would definitely welcome you. Sunshine is fine, the beach is fine, and as for this 'beauty party,' that's fine too, but..."

As she spoke, she hooked her arm around Sun Yi's arm and said, half warning and half jokingly, "You're not allowed to lead my husband astray."

Sun Yi shrugged and smiled helplessly at the three of them.

Sorry guys, I'm married now.

"Oh, haha, okay, we weren't planning on bringing him anyway!"

As soon as Xiao Li heard this, he thought, "It's just a matter of not bringing Sun Yi. No problem."

She immediately nodded in agreement, then turned around and began to secretly discuss something with Tom.

Seeing the two men's lack of loyalty, Sun Yi sighed inwardly.

You two are heartless!
Thankfully, we have Lao Wen.

When Sun Yi looked at Wen Ziren with a grateful expression and saw that the guy also looked eager to try, his heart sank completely.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei smirked to herself, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents as she gave Sun Yi a provocative look, as if asking, "Is this your brotherhood?" Sun Yi was embarrassed.

Fortunately, James Wan's conscience hadn't been completely extinguished, and he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Boss, after attending your wedding, I suddenly had an idea: to add some storylines to 'World War Z' and turn it into an IP."

This time, it was Liu Yifei's turn to be dumbfounded.

You attend my wedding and suddenly have a movie idea? No problem, I'm actually quite happy.

But what is World War Z?
Will my wedding be associated with zombies or World War II?

James Wan quickly explained, "No, no, no, it's the scale, the spectacular wedding scene. It made me feel that such a great subject matter as 'World War Z' shouldn't be wasted; we needed to add some exciting, high-octane scenes."

Hearing this explanation, Liu Yifei finally calmed down.

If we're talking about the scale, then there's no problem.

She turned to look at Sun Yi; clearly, when they were out together, her husband was in charge.

"Add some big scenes?" Sun Yi recalled the general plot of "World War Z" and asked, "What kind of scenes do you want to add?"

"In the current script, after the zombie wall in Jerusalem, the protagonist finds the virus's weakness. I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and I think this plot is too fast. I want to add a grand battle between humans and zombies to match the title."

Where would you like to arrange it?

Sun Yi didn't agree immediately. Instead, he instantly switched to producer mode. Besides human resources, the most expensive part of a movie is the set. If the set spans too far and the runtime is long, the movie's budget can almost double.

“Hmm,” James Wan thought for a moment. He had been wanting to expand the movie’s plot for a long time. It was only after attending this trip to China and seeing this magnificent Chinese wedding that he finally decided on his idea. However, he had not yet considered where to choose the specific location.

"Red Square! How about Moscow's Red Square? The Red Square battle between humans and super zombies is just like the Soviet Red Square parade during World War II."

Upon hearing James Wan's suggestion, Sun Yi considered it for a moment. Although this change would be very different from the original work, given James Wan's experience in directing films like Aquaman and Fast & Furious, the chances of success were still quite high.

It's doable!
“Old Wen, I agree in principle.” Sun Yi nodded slightly and said, “However, this will definitely increase the production cost of the film significantly, and the choice of the lead actor will be crucial. They must be well-known movie stars who can carry the global box office.”

"this."

James Wan frowned. Although he was now somewhat famous in Hollywood, he had never worked with an international superstar before, and he was unsure of what to do.

Sun Yi began searching his mind for suitable actors, and Liu Yifei also started racking her brains.

"Hi~ I heard you guys were talking about international superstars. I wonder if I count?"

Leonardo DiCaprio suddenly chimed in.

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up. "That's right, let's find him!"

Little Leo?
There's definitely no problem.

but
"Didn't you say you don't accept commercial films?" Sun Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Since "Titanic," Leonardo DiCaprio has basically not starred in any major commercial films. He has mainly appeared in art films or works that combine both, such as "Inception."

Therefore, no one immediately thought of the international superstar next to them.

"Who said that?" Leonardo DiCaprio smiled knowingly. "Sun Yi, I have to thank you for this. Before, it was to prove myself. Now, I'm an Oscar-winning actor, I don't need to anymore!"

"What's wrong with commercial films? Who doesn't want to make more money? Besides, your North American Starry Night is a hot commodity in Hollywood right now. Who wouldn't want to invest in it? It's a sure-fire way to make money!"

Sun Yi never expected that after the box office and critical success of "Edge of Tomorrow," he would sign a cooperation agreement with Warner Bros. for "Superman." Now, he has completely broken out of the Hollywood circle.

All his past films have been dug up, especially his undefeated record—not a single film lost money. In the eyes of various Hollywood companies, he is not just a money-grubber, but practically the incarnation of God.
