Huayu Entertainment 1995 started with hijacking.

Chapter 359 Zhang Yimou is reported
Last year, Wu Yuchen mentioned to Kevin Feige and Marvel that he would focus on Iron Man to help Marvel gain a foothold in the future.

Wu Yuchen was just pondering in his mind which Marvel movie to make as their first film: Iron Man or Fantastic Four.

He considered it for a while. Robert Downey Jr., the male lead of Iron Man, had only been contacted last year. He asked James Wan to bring him in as the male lead of Saw 3 to observe him, to see if he was still on drugs and whether he had become more mature and composed.

According to James Wan's latest feedback, Robert Downey Jr. was quite depressed for a while after his divorce last year. Later, he met a new girlfriend, and with her help, he got much better. Now, everything seems to be moving in a positive direction, and he is in good form at work.

Wu Yuchen was somewhat satisfied with Robert Downey Jr.'s performance, but the time was still too short; he wanted to observe him further. After all, the Iron Man project revolved around him as its absolute core, and no mistakes could be tolerated. Someone with such a history of misconduct and incorrigible behavior needed to be used cautiously. Observing him for a longer period was better than making a big mistake!
The situation is different with Fantastic Four. Jessica Alba is very obedient to him, so there's no need to worry about the risks associated with Robert Downey Jr. Therefore, after careful consideration, Wu Yuchen plans to let Marvel film Fantastic Four first, so they can practice first. Once Fantastic Four is finished, they can move on to Iron Man.

When Kevin Feige heard Wu Yuchen's explanation, he understood that the other party was being cautious and worried that Marvel lacked experience.

However, after several years of experience, Kevin Feige's confidence has grown considerably, and he has become a capable producer, especially in the area of ​​comic book adaptations, where he has extensive experience. Therefore, he is filled with a strong desire to prove himself to Wu Yuchen!

Kevin Feige accepted Wu Yuchen's arrangement, but still asked, "Boss, what about the production cost of this 'Fantastic Four' movie?"

Wu Yuchen smiled and said, "Let's tentatively set it at 1 million."

Kevin Feige's spirits lifted upon hearing this. He had initially thought Wu Yuchen's conservative attitude meant it might be a low-to-medium budget production, but he hadn't expected him to immediately offer a production budget of 1 million! This wasn't a lack of trust; it was an immense level of trust in him, Kevin Feige!
Kevin Feige immediately stood up, patted his chest, and said, "Boss, I will definitely do my best to complete this Fantastic Four!"

Watching Kevin Feige walk out of the office full of energy, Wu Yuchen smiled and nodded. This was the chosen worker he wanted!
"Ahhh! My god! Daddy, I love you!" Jessica Alba pounced on Wu Yuchen, wrapping her long legs around his waist and excitedly kissing him repeatedly.

She couldn't help but be excited; she was about to star in a blockbuster worth hundreds of millions of dollars! This would be a huge step forward in her career!

Beside her, Anne Hathaway also showed a hint of envy. Although she had already starred in the Spider-Man trilogy, her character was just a pretty face in the movies, a foolish woman who dated a lot of men and was a troublemaker. She wasn't very likable, and many viewers didn't have a good impression of her character.

But Jessica Alba in *Fantastic Four* is different. She's the undisputed female lead, and not just a pretty face. She's one of the Four, possessing her own superpowers. As the only female member, it's no surprise she gets a lot of screen time. You could easily say a third, or even half, of the film is dedicated to her!

Of course, Anne Hathaway already has two Princess Diaries movies, and Wu Yuchen will arrange another movie for her next year, so she is confident about her future.

On the other hand, Scarlett Johansson was filled with envy and jealousy. It's not that Scarlett Johansson hasn't acted in big-budget productions; the previously flopped *The Island* is one example. But considering her background as a child star, how rich is her acting experience?
Before she turned 18, she had already played the leading role in several films, including "The Horse Whisperer" and "Manny & Lo," which earned her awards. Even after she turned 18, she immediately regained her fame with "Lost in Translation," unlike many child stars who faded into obscurity as adults.

To put it bluntly, before "The Island," she had already accumulated acting experience and fame from at least 30 films! In other words, it took her more than ten years of hard work and smooth career development to land the lead role in the blockbuster "The Island"!
And what about this bitch in front of me who only knows how to call Wu Yuchen Daddy? She was still acting in TV dramas a few years ago! Her movie from three years ago is still flopping to death!

And in the past two years, just because she met Wu Yuchen, just because she caught his eye, just because she can shake her hips, she starred in the two hit movies "Step Up" and became the female lead in a big-budget production?!
How could Scarlett Johansson possibly feel at peace after seeing this?! All her hard work and dedication over the past decade! And it's nothing compared to this little bitch's two mouths?

Scarlett Johansson then chuckled inwardly to herself. This is Hollywood! She should have realized it long ago; this is the path to success in Hollywood!
Seeing the treatment Jessica Alba received, Scarlett Johansson became even more determined to follow Wu Yuchen from now on, dedicating even more passion and effort to him!
Jessica Alba didn't care what Scarlett Johansson thought; she was completely immersed in overwhelming joy, wishing she could immediately become one with Wu Yuchen. She wasn't lying; she absolutely adored Wu Yuchen!

Wu Yuchen chuckled and patted her shapely bottom: "Jessie, I've given you the opportunity, but whether you can seize it depends on yourself. If you perform well, you can leap into the top tier; if you don't..."

Jessica Alba exclaimed sweetly, "Daddy, I'll definitely do a good job! No matter how hard or tiring it is, it's no problem!"

Wu Yuchen smiled upon hearing this: "Remember your own words."

There will be a lot of action scenes in "Fantastic Four", some of which are not easy to film and may cause injury. Therefore, he also wanted to give Jessica Alba a heads-up.

Wu Yuchen was still holding Jessica Alba when Scarlett Johansson wrapped her arm around his. He saw the fiery look in her eyes and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that provoking Black Widow had worked!
Although he didn't want the three women to be noisy and bother him, he didn't expect them to be harmonious either. The necessary competition and rivalry were still necessary so that they would work harder and give more, bringing him a more perfect enjoyment!
The next day, when Wu Yuchen woke up, he found his left arm tightly embraced by Scarlett Johansson, completely enveloped in her full, soft flesh, while Jessica Alba was on his right, clinging to half of his body. Behind Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway was gently holding her.

Thinking back to the three women's enthusiastic competition last night, their unparalleled passion made him linger and reluctant to leave, so much so that he didn't want to get up today.

Wu Yuchen persevered and succeeded. He's quite busy now; although he's finished filming "The Batman," there's still follow-up production. He's also finished the script for "Transformers," but as a producer, he still needs to keep up with the progress from time to time.

As for the opportunity to play with the three women, there was no need to rush; they would be gathering here to keep him company for the next two weeks. And so, Wu Yuchen spent his days busy with the post-production of "Batman," and his evenings returning to his manor to enjoy boundless happiness.

September arrived in the blink of an eye. After quickly completing the editing thanks to my strengths, the rest of the work became much easier.

It's worth mentioning that the computer-generated special effects in *The Batman* are significantly less extensive compared to the *Pirates of the Caribbean* series. In pursuit of realism, many scenes in *The Batman* were filmed practically.

For example, the shot of Batman "flying" across the Gotham City sky in his high-tech cape wasn't computer-generated visual effects; it was filmed in a studio without any green screen technology. The flight was achieved using wires and real cameras. The crew suspended the cameras on wires, allowing Batman to glide 800 feet in the studio. Therefore, this time, *Batman* didn't need to spend much time waiting for special effects production. Now that editing is complete, all that's left is work on the music and other aspects.

As the sun shone on the new day, Wu Yuchen climbed out of the arms of the three women and found that his phone had many missed calls, all from Cai Yinong.

Wu Yuchen knew that Cai Yinong must have something on her mind, otherwise she wouldn't have called him so many times. He just muted her phone before going to bed last night.

Wu Yuchen made a judgment: Cai Yinong had something to ask him, but it wasn't something extremely urgent, otherwise she would have definitely contacted Wu Yuchen's agent here, Carl Murphy, to come and see him.

Thinking this, Wu Yuchen called Cai Yinong back: "Hey, Ms. Cai, I saw you contacted me earlier, is there something you need?"

Cai Yinong said, "Director Wu, something did happen, but it has nothing to do with you. It's Zhang Yimou. Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on him? Just half a day ago, several media outlets simultaneously exposed Director Zhang's scandal, accusing him of having more children than allowed!"

"What?! Having more children than allowed!" Wu Yuchen immediately pictured a face: Zhang Weiping!
About six months ago, when Zhang Yimou and Zhang Fei broke up, Wu Yuchen called Zhang Yimou once. However, Zhang Yimou didn't mention anything about it at the time, and Wu Yuchen could tell that Zhang Yimou didn't want to join any company for the time being, so he didn't bother to inquire about Zhang Fei's personal situation.

Although Wu Yuchen knew a lot about Zhang Yimou's movies in his previous life, he wasn't a die-hard fan of his, so he didn't know which year his child was born. He only remembered that it was around 2012 when Zhang Weiping had someone leak the information about the breakup between the two Zhangs.

It wouldn't be appropriate for Wu Yuchen to ask Zhang Yimou how many children he has. Zhang Yimou has kept Chen Ting a closely guarded secret; they haven't registered their marriage, haven't gotten married, and he doesn't tell anyone in the industry. How could Wu Yuchen possibly ask? So, it was best not to bring up that topic.

So Zhang Yimou has already violated the one-child policy! And Zhang Weiping even exposed him!
Wu Yuchen frowned, then asked Cai Yinong, "President Cai, how significant is the impact of this matter right now?"

"It's not small. The key point is that I've seen several media outlets criticizing Director Zhang for not being qualified to be the chief director of the Olympics!"

Upon hearing Cai Yinong's words, Wu Yuchen, who hadn't realized it before, immediately understood that the first round of the Olympic Games opening ceremony selection would be held in Beijing just two weeks later, on September 19th!
Holy crap, Zhang Weiping, you're really ruthless!
They've been broken up for almost half a year, but they didn't expose it earlier. They just had to expose it now at this critical moment. It's like they're deliberately trying to block Zhang Yimou's path to becoming the chief director of the Olympics!

Wu Yuchen immediately went to the computer and started watching the online reactions from Chinese websites:

"Zhang Yimou is disgusting! With his level of talent, he wants to be the chief director of the Olympics?!"

"Zhang Yimou should die! His skills are poor and his aesthetics are vulgar!"

"Hehe, Director Zhang really knows how to have fun!"

"I knew Zhang Yimou was no good! He broke the law and violated regulations! He was morally corrupt! How could someone like that be the director of the Olympics!"

"Zhang Yimou is disgusting! Last year's 'black 8 minutes' was a complete rubbish! With his level of talent, he wants to be the chief director of the Olympics?!"

"Zhang Yimou should die! His skills are terrible, his aesthetics are vulgar, and he even had an affair and had an extra child!"

"Hehe, they've had two kids without even getting married or a marriage certificate. The original wife has an older sister too. Director Zhang really knows how to play the game!"

“I’ve known for a long time that Zhang Yimou is no good. He had an affair with Gong Li back then, abandoning his wife and children! Now he’s doing this again, violating the one-child policy. This kind of person just takes advantage of his talent to disregard the law!”

"The state should investigate this thoroughly! Zhang Yimou is leading the way in undermining national policy!"

"Zhang Yimou undermines our fundamental strategy; he must be blacklisted! Dreaming of being the Olympic director!"

Wu Yuchen frowned as he looked at the screen filled with criticisms of Zhang Yimou. This was something he had never anticipated; he never expected Zhang Weiping to create such a sudden situation.

Although Zhang Weiping wasn't targeting him, but rather Zhang Yimou, Wu Yuchen had always supported Zhang Yimou as the chief director of the Olympics. He knew how well Zhang Yimou had organized the opening ceremony in his previous life.

For this reason, Wu Yuchen even offered advice and suggestions to Zhang Yimou. The two had a very pleasant conversation, and in the past few months, when Zhang Yimou called him for advice on his plans, he shared his knowledge without reservation, all in the hope that Zhang Yimou could successfully become the chief director and make the 08 Beijing Olympics a great success!
To put it bluntly, the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony was the best ever. Since then, the Olympics have declined year after year. Just look at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony – it was so bizarre! Not only did advertisers withdraw, but even the official Olympic organization couldn't help but delete the video – it was utterly embarrassing!
