Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 160 Filming "Iron Man" in the US

On June 13, after returning to Beijing with the footage, Fu Yibai immediately arranged for people to begin editing.

The post-production team at Dawn had been working with Fu Yibai for two years and had already developed a tacit understanding with him.

He only stayed in the editing room for three days, and the team had already figured out the editing approach.

On June 17, Margaret called.

Pre-production for "Iron Man" is nearing completion, and Fu Yibai was asked when filming would begin.

After agreeing on a time, Fu Yibai began to wrap up his work in China.

On June 20, Fu Yibai took Liu Yan to the United States for filming.

"Isn't that Director Fu?"

In the waiting hall of Beijing Capital International Airport, a group of paparazzi were looking for news material when someone suddenly pointed to a figure checking in.

"It seems so."

Didn't Director Fu just finish filming "Your Name"?

Where are we going?

"That looks like a flight to the United States."

"The United States? Could it be that Director Fu is up to something big again!"

Go ask them, this is big news!

Fu Yibai led Liu Yan toward the security checkpoint.

He had only taken a few steps when several people suddenly rushed out from the side, holding cameras and shoving the lenses almost in his face.

"Director Fu! Do you have any new projects planned for your trip to the United States?"

"Director Fu! Are you going to Hollywood? Isn't 'Gravity' being filmed in China?"

The shutter clicked away incessantly, and the flashes were so bright they made it hard to open your eyes.

The surrounding passengers turned to look, and some recognized him and took out their phones to take pictures.

Liu Yan stepped forward and stood in front of Fu Yibai.

Excuse me, could you move aside?

The paparazzi weren't about to give way, and they raised their cameras even higher.

"Director Fu, please say a few words!"

"Yeah, Director Fu, can you give us a sneak peek?"

Fu Yibai stopped and glanced at them.

"Gravity is being filmed in China and is currently in pre-production. I'm going to the United States to film other movies this time."

After saying that, he walked around them and continued forward.

The paparazzi paused for a moment, then gave chase.

"What movie are you filming?!"

Is it a co-production?

"Is it a collaboration with Warner?"

Fu Yibai walked into the security checkpoint without looking back.

The paparazzi were kept outside and could only take a few blurry photos of the figures through the glass door.

"Quickly, quickly, release the news!"

How should I write the title?

"Nonsense! It's big news—Fu Yibai secretly went to the US, seemingly to launch a new project!"

"Yes, yes, yes, add a picture!"

Ten minutes later, the first news flash appeared online.

[Exclusive] Fu Yibai spotted at Beijing Capital International Airport, departing for the US! Sources reveal it may be related to a new Hollywood project!

Twenty minutes later, more details were revealed.

[Breaking News] Fu Yibai and his core assistant have traveled to Los Angeles. Did he leave the country right after filming wrapped on "Your Name"? What's the story behind this?

Thirty minutes later, the comments section started to buzz.

"Going to the US again? Is Director Fu planning to settle down in Hollywood?"

"Inception made $8.9 million; Hollywood is treating it like a treasure now."

"No! The domestic film industry is just starting to pick up, Director Fu, please don't go!"

"What's wrong with them going to film a movie? Don't you understand co-productions?"

"Exactly, isn't Gravity still controlled by Dawn?"

"By the way, didn't 'Your Name' just wrap up filming? That's incredibly fast."

"Rumor has it that Franchise Pictures greenlit a sci-fi film called *Iron Man* earlier this year, directed by Fu Yibai, with Universal Pictures and Sunrise Media among the investors!"

"Another co-production? Why didn't they cast the actors domestically?"

"It's not a co-production. Chenxi's shareholding doesn't meet the requirements for a co-production. It's probably because Director Fu is directing that they got some investment shares."

"Wow, that's impressive! It seems Director Fu has quite a status in Hollywood!"

.........

Fu Yibai was unaware of the discussions within China.

Fu Yibai and Liu Yan arrived in Los Angeles in the evening.

So the two went straight back to the villa.

Inside the villa, Anne Hathaway was sitting on the sofa reading the script for "Pepper Potts".

The noise of the two people pushing the door open startled her.

"pay!"

Anne put down her script and pounced on him.

Fu Yibai reached out and caught the other person.

Liu Yan smiled and shook her head, pushing her luggage toward the elevator.

"You've finally arrived."

I missed you so much.

Annie hugged Fu Yibai's neck and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Fu Yibai carried the beauty towards the sofa.

"How's the script study going?"

"I've already memorized it."

Thank you, Fu.

"Although this character doesn't have a lot of screen time, she will be present throughout the Iron Man trilogy."

There's even a possibility that a movie will be made specifically for her in the future.

So you need to take this seriously.

"Yes, yes! I will."

Anne Hathaway's eyes lit up when she heard that there might be a movie dedicated to the character.

Where is Scarlett?

"Lionsgate launched a project a few days ago, which Franchise Entertainment invested in, and Margaret got a role for Scarlett."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yibai felt that Margaret should receive a bonus.

"I'm going upstairs to take a shower. You can continue reading the script."

"No, carry me up with you."

Annie nestled in Fu Yibai's arms, her legs tightly wrapped around his waist.

"You."
