Chapter 226: Changed

"Wu Yuchen hired as Beijing Olympic Bid Image Ambassador!"

"Wu Yuchen and Cheng Long join forces to support the Olympic bid and show the Chinese heart!"

Gao Yuanyuan held a newspaper in her hand and looked at Wu Yuchen with admiration: "Brother Chen, you are really amazing! Representing our China in the Olympic bid!"

Beijing's Olympic bid was a major event, receiving nationwide attention from top to bottom. Now that Wu Yuchen had been appointed as the Olympic bid ambassador, he represented the country, and in Gao Yuanyuan's eyes, he was just like a great hero!

Wu Yuchen was secretly pleased to be looked at by Da Meiyuan's big, sparkling eyes. He still smiled and said:

"Hahaha, it's okay. It's not just me alone. I estimate that others will be hired one after another later."

This Olympic bid would continue to hire some other celebrities later, such as relatively famous athletes, like Deng Yaping and others.

"That's also very amazing. You were the first to be hired! With you participating this time, the Olympic bid will definitely be successful!" Gao Yuanyuan clenched her small fist to cheer for Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen also stroked Gao Yuanyuan's cheek, then kissed her small mouth, and said with a smile: "Hehe, with a good citizen like Yuanyuan who supports the Olympic bid, Beijing will definitely be selected this time!"

Subsequently, Wu Yuchen asked again: "Yuanyuan, how do you feel about shooting *Laughing in the Wind* this time?"

Gao Yuanyuan said happily: "It's quite good. When we were shooting, Jin Yong came to visit the set twice, and he even praised me!"

"Oh? How did he praise you?" Wu Yuchen was curious.

"Won't? That 'Langqing Qieyi Sword'?" While he was speaking, he hugged Da Meiyuan and gently poked her with his fingers made into a sword gesture.

Wu Yuchen smiled at her: "Lingxi Sword Technique?"

Wu Yuchen also nodded upon hearing this. Wei Zi's Yue Buqun was indeed played very well, depicting the face of a hypocrite vividly, and it was revealed bit by bit during the process of this play, fully showing the internal and external contrast of this wolfish ambition under the appearance of a gentleman. Especially in the scene at the Songshan Zen Platform, that kind of demonic spirit was full of selfish hypocrisy and overreaching ambition.

Gao Yuanyuan raised her chin and said with slight pride: "Teacher Jin Yong praised me for being beautiful and very cute. I am the Yue Lingshan in his mind!"

Gao Yuanyuan hugged Wu Yuchen and said coquettishly: "I originally thought that if I could learn it, I would come back and perform it for you to see~"

After reacting, Da Meiyuan's face was slightly red: "Brother Chen, you are really bad. I'm talking to you seriously~"

However, seeing Gao Yuanyuan so happy, Wu Yuchen naturally wouldn't say this, but smiled and said: "Then it seems that Yuanyuan, you acted very well in the crew this time!"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled, and then said:

"I met many old seniors in the crew this time and felt that they were all very amazing. Especially Teacher Wei Zi, I feel that his acting is too amazing, and I was often led by him!"

As she said this, she made a flower gesture with her hand and also made a sword gesture.

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head: "Actually, it's okay. Just treat it as tourism. It's just that Director Yuan Bin's requirements were quite strict. When I first joined the crew, the martial arts scenes always didn't meet his requirements, and I was scolded several times. It took a month of running-in before he was satisfied. I finally let out a sigh of relief~"

Wu Yuchen also knew about the shooting of *Laughing in the Wind*. In addition to shooting the scenes built in the Xiangshan Film and Television City, they also went to many places across the country, such as Wuxi, Xinchang, Fenghua, Huangshan, etc., and moved to shoot on location in Xikou Xufuyan Waterfall, Xihui Park, Wuxi Taihu Lake, Yixing Zhanggong Cave, Xinchang Dafosi Temple, Xinchang Shili Qianxi, Tianping Mountain, Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks, etc.

This lasted for half a year, running to so many places, and it was Gao Yuanyuan's first time shooting martial arts scenes. Wu Yuchen felt that this girl must have suffered a lot.

Gao Yuanyuan immediately smiled: "Okay, okay, what do you want to learn?"

Subsequently, Gao Yuanyuan said in a slightly excited tone:

"And Teacher Peng Denghuai, who played Yu Canghai, is also very good. Once at the crew's internal party, he came up to perform face-changing, which shocked our whole crew! Sister Xu Qing and I often pestered him to perform, and he didn't show impatience. I don't know how many times I watched it, but I just couldn't see how he changed it! Too amazing!"

Wu Yuchen nodded, but he wouldn't be dissatisfied with Yuan Bin because of this. This kind of scolding for the sake of filming was very common in the crew. He smiled and said:

"Then it seems that our Yuanyuan has now become a little chivalrous woman. When you come back, you must teach me a few moves~"

Wei Zi was the one who played Yue Buqun. Because Gao Yuanyuan played his daughter in the play, the two had many rival scenes, allowing Gao Yuanyuan, this little rookie, to learn a good lesson.

Wu Yuchen felt slightly moved upon hearing this, gently pinched Gao Yuanyuan's small hand, and asked with a gentle voice: "Yuanyuan, did you get tired from going to shoot this time?"

Yuan Bin came from the Seven Little Fortunes and was a fellow apprentice of Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao. He was a famous martial arts director in Hong Kong Island. This time, he served as the director of *Laughing in the Wind* together with Huang Jianzhong, and the martial arts part was mainly responsible by his team.

Wu Yuchen reached out and scraped her nose, laughing: "Hehe, that's their ability to eat. It's not passed on to non-direct disciples. If it were so easy for you to see the flaws, how would they mix?"

"Ah?" Gao Yuanyuan was a bit stunned and didn't react.

Wu Yuchen smiled upon hearing this. He didn't know whether Jin Yong's words were sincere or not. It was mainly that Jin Yong consistently praised the heroines of several TV dramas shot by Zhang Dahu, whether it was Zhou Xun's Huang Rong or Liu Qianqian's Wang Yuyan and Little Dragon Girl, he consistently praised them.

"Isn't this a serious matter?" After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, he had already bitten her red lips.

Big scissors.

"Hey, Wu Dao, sit down quickly. Wait a moment, I'll brew a pot of tea for you immediately!"

"Director Zhang, no need, no need!" Wu Yuchen hurriedly pulled the other party.

"Eh, must use! In this cold weather, Wu Dao ran over personally. If I don't even let you drink a cup of hot tea, what would it look like if it spread out!" Director Zhang said, and personally went to entertain Wu Yuchen.

This Director Zhang was a department director two years ago, but he had been promoted in the past two years and became the deputy director of the bureau, but he was still in charge of the review work.

While he was acting, he was thinking in his heart that this Wu Yuchen was really getting more and more amazing. Two years ago, he was already valued by the above, and next, he not only achieved high box office in America but also won international awards one after another. Last year, he even won the Oscar!

Moreover, now he had also become an image ambassador hired by the Olympic Bid Committee. This was even more amazing. When the time comes, he might have to represent China to speak.

Do you know how high the level of the team led by the Olympic Bid Committee is this time? It is one of the tops of the pyramid. Moreover, there are many high-level big shots in the team, which means that Wu Yuchen can talk to people directly now. If one day during the Olympic bid process, people chat with the big leaders and damage them, then they might really have worked in vain for a lifetime.

Therefore, being enthusiastic now, serving a cup of water and brewing a pot of tea is simply not a thing. Our country's only Oscar big director, must take care of him more, not shameful!

After Wu Yuchen picked up the tea and drank a few sips, and chatted with this Director Zhang for a while, the atmosphere became warm, and then he asked: "Director Zhang, to tell you the truth, I came here this time to ask about *Shaolin Soccer*."

Director Zhang's heart moved. He didn't know the specifics particularly well now, so he said to Wu Yuchen: "Wu Dao, wait a moment, I'll make a phone call to ask what's going on."

After a phone call, he learned that the film was starred by Zhou Xingxing and was currently stuck. After Director Zhang hung up the phone, he asked: "Wu Dao, does this film have anything to do with you?"

Wu Yuchen nodded: "It has something to do with it. Our company participated in part of the investment, so this can be considered a co-production film. So I wanted to ask Director Zhang, what is the situation with this film now? Is the problem big?"

Director Zhang pondered for a while, and then said:

"This *Shaolin Soccer*, actually, we don't have any problems in the bureau. It's just that it really lived up to its name, offending both the 'Shaolin' and 'Football' groups. Now both sides have expressed dissatisfaction, so we temporarily suppressed the review of this film."

Wu Yuchen thought for a while after hearing this, and then asked: "Director Zhang, do you think it's easy to make it convenient? After all, our film didn't really touch any red lines, and it was originally a nonsense comedy film, just to make people happy. You also understand the style of Hong Kong Island films; there are many that are more exaggerated than this."

Director Zhang rubbed the teacup in his hand, turned it in his brain, and then said:

"Wu Dao, since you have come to the door personally, we will try our best to solve it. For this matter, I will see if we can mediate in the middle. We will go and talk to them. As for you, Wu Dao, change some sensitive places in the film."

Wu Yuchen immediately reached out to shake hands with the other party:

"Director Zhang, then thank you very much. After I go back, I will ask people to change some places."

"Haha, if everyone is as reasonable as you, Wu Dao, then our work will be easy to do!" Director Zhang also said with a smile.

Two days later, Qiji Film and Television sent the modified film over again. Director Zhang also paid close attention to this matter and called the review staff over to ask: "How is the modification of the film *Shaolin Soccer*?"

"Director Zhang, it is changed, but it seems that only two places were changed."

"Which two?" Director Zhang asked immediately.

"One is the film name. They changed *Shaolin Soccer* to *Kung Fu Soccer*. The second is the league name in the film..."

This, isn't this equivalent to the content basically not moving!

Director Zhang only felt that his back teeth were aching, and he sighed in his heart, feeling that the pressure was all on his side. What is this!

He waved his hand, let his subordinates retreat first, then lit a cigarette and swallowed clouds and fog. After smoking, he picked up the phone and called the Religious Affairs Bureau:

"Yes, yes, changed. People even changed the name. It's not called *Shaolin Soccer* anymore, it's changed to *Kung Fu Soccer*. This has nothing to do with Shaolin. Well, we've seen it, no problem. Don't think too much. Wu Yuchen changed it personally. The sincerity is already very sufficient! You should also manage your side. Now it is advocated to be open, and it is not scolding you. People are still helping your Shaolin Kung Fu to promote!"

After hanging up the phone, a moment later, he dialed another phone:

"Yes, yes, the film content has been changed. Wu Yuchen cut it personally. Now it has nothing to do with you! It will definitely not make people associate it with you. People are comedy films. Zhou Xingxing's films are all funny, where does the irony come from? Don't think too much!"

After hanging up the phone, Director Zhang also hummed twice. These two groups of people are also idle and painful. Originally, there was nothing, but they insisted on coming over to add trouble to them. What are you guilty of after you did it yourself!

As for after the film is released, he doesn't care. Anyway, he said it was cut by Wu Yuchen personally. If you have any opinions, go find him when the time comes!

Qiji Film and Television, Wu Yuchen picked up the phone, listened for two sentences, and showed a smile: "Eh, eh, good, thank you so much, Director Zhang! Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to it here!"

After Wu Yuchen hung up the phone, he said to Cai Yinong: "*Shaolin Soccer*, oh no, *Kung Fu Soccer* is no problem here, the review has passed."

Cai Yinong immediately raised a thumb and said to Wu Yuchen with admiration: "Wu Dao, it still has to be you. It passed as soon as you came out!"

Wu Yuchen waved his hand and said with a smile: "How can I have such a big face? If the face is really big enough, not a single word needs to be changed!"

However, subsequently, he remembered the words of Director Zhang just now, and said to Cai Yinong: "You go and ask for the contact information of the Shaolin Abbot. I will make a phone call to him here."

Cai Yinong immediately responded and ran out to contact.

Wu Yuchen thought that this Director Zhang just now was really good to him, and gave him a reminder that it is best for him to contact the religious side personally, otherwise it would be a small trouble if there is really a dispute later.

In fact, these two aspects, although there are protests on the football side now, the problem is not big. After all, the reputation is already stinky enough. If there are many lice, it will not itch. If it is really released, they will be like that. Anyway, it will be like that. It is just that the religious side will be slightly more troublesome. After all, some religious people can also affect the high level.

After Wu Yuchen made a phone call with the Shaolin Abbot here, talked about it, expressed his respect for the Shaolin Temple, agreed to visit in person when he has time in the future, and will promote the Shaolin image internationally if there is a chance, and so on, he didn't mention this matter.

After Wu Yuchen hung up the phone, he also smiled. Don't look at this big monk as a person in the empty door, but people are smart. This business is more powerful than many entrepreneurs, making the commercial value of Shaolin Temple bigger and bigger. The commercial map and market value of Shaolin Temple are much higher than many listed companies in the country.

The big monk also understands that the film *Shaolin Soccer* has already been shot, and it must be unstoppable. Even if it is not allowed to be released in the cinema, can they manage the pirated discs? Isn't it going to spread all over the country?

Instead of this, it is better to use this to establish a friendship with Wu Yuchen, this international big director. If Wu Yuchen can promote Shaolin Temple more in the film in the future, it is far stronger than they shouting slogans themselves.

Subsequently, Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said to Cai Yinong: "President Cai, you contact Zhou Xingxing again and let him go to Shaolin Temple in person after the New Year to express his respect for Shaolin. At the same time, we will also make his Shaolin trip this time a promotion, which can be considered as warming up for the film."

"Wu Dao, you are still high!" ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
