Chapter 108 China and South Korea Premiere
The crew of "2012" has entered the final stage of filming.

The North American box office of "I Am Legend" has reached its end. It failed to break 3 million and stopped at 2.92 million US dollars, ranking second in the North American box office list in 06.

Although it is still being shown on screens in some continents, the daily contribution is only tens of thousands of dollars.

However, the international box office has exceeded US$2.5 million.

It has not yet been released in some countries, and the total box office has reached 5.42 million.

It is slightly higher than "Madagascar" and lower than "Mission: Impossible 2"'s 5.46 million.

Ranked 33rd on the box office list of film history.

At present, it is a certainty that the international box office will exceed 3 million US dollars, and it will be just around the corner to exceed 6 million US dollars.

After the domestic night banquet exceeded 1 million, it was almost exhausted. It was slowly rising, and it seemed that even 1.2 million was a bit difficult.

Huayi can only mention "The King of Kung Fu" to talk about it, but it didn't mention "The Night Banquet" at all.

Although Feng Xiaogang's "The Night Banquet" suffered a loss, Huayi still has good faith in it.

The new film "Assembly" is already being prepared.

There is another movie in September, "Baby Project" starring Cheng Long and Louis Koo, and Gao Yuanyuan is also included.

Cheng Long has already coordinated with Li Mu. After all, Cheng Long will definitely attend the premiere.

Li Mu transferred the day's shooting to other people and gave him two days to come out.

Cheng Long wants to achieve a box office of over [-] million in the Mainland, and he is full of expectations.

Li Mu knew that none of his movies in the mainland in recent years had exceeded [-] million yuan. The reason was very simple. He was too famous.

Pirates have been targeting it for a long time, and piracy has occurred for a long time.

The sun was shining brightly on this day, which was not suitable for shooting the prepared plot. We had to wait for a slightly gloomier day.

We had no choice but to switch to filming the crowd scenes and summoned people temporarily. At this time, we had time to chat for a while.

"Director Li, there is news from Baihua that you have turned down your job as a judge."

Lu Yang also often pays attention to this information. After all, it is a domestic award, and filmmakers, especially directors, pay more attention to it.

"That award doesn't mean much, and I'm not the only judge."

"That's true, Director Li, do you think it will be easier for me to make films later to win domestic awards or to win overseas awards?"

Lu Yang was also troubled. The movie had to be shot after all, but the depth of water in the country was already obvious.

It is well-known abroad and the water is not shallow, but it seems easier than in China.

"You haven't even started walking yet, and you're already thinking about driving towards the finish line?"

Li Mu cursed angrily.

"But if you have money, you can try overseas." Li Mu said with a smile.

"why?"

"I won't talk about the domestic situation, although it is not much better abroad. The world is as black as crows. But in capitalism, you can question their character, but you can't doubt their desire for money. When the money is available, anything can be said."

"Then I have no chance."

Lu Yang spread his hands. This requires money but no money, and it requires backstage but no backstage. How to deal with it.

"How about coming to my company?"

Li Mu showed a cunning light.

"Director Li, are you serious? Then you must take me in!"

At first, Lu Yang thought he would just be a director's assistant for a while, but he didn't expect that Li Mu actually invited him to join.

It seemed like another piece of cake fell from the sky.

"Okay! Work hard."

Li Mu patted him on the shoulder. Lu Yang's performance these days was really good and he was thoughtful.

The latter was as happy as if he had won a 500 million double-colored ball.

I filmed Cheng Long's scenes for several days. After all, "Baby Project" was about to premiere, so I had to make some time for him.

Inside the industry, news spread that Fan Binbin is suspected of leaving Huayi.

The contract between Fan Binbin and Huayi will expire on January 07, 1. Both parties have not responded to external rumors for the time being.

However, rumors have spread that Fan Binbin did not want to be wronged by Zhou Xun because she has never been the "No. [-] sister of Huayi".

Cheng Long's "Baby Project" can be regarded as Cheng Long's good movie in recent years. It has enough laughs and is not embarrassing.

The situation was great at the beginning, but the pirated version seems to have appeared.

The China premiere on September 9.29th was co-organized by China Film and Mengying, and the location was chosen at the Great Hall of the People.

At this moment, which movie can have the hot topic of "The Treasure Hunt", China Film and Mengying directly spent Xuanfa's funds fiercely.

The more money spent on promoting a film, the higher the social discussion of the film, the better the reputation of the film business, the higher the number of films in the back row, and the higher the likelihood that the audience will watch it.

In this era, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

Han Sanping wanted to use this opportunity to wipe out the decline that "The Promise" had brought to him, and he spared no effort in publicity.

The premiere was of high standard, both because of Li Mu's status and because of its international connections.

"Attend the premiere with me?" Li Mu asked Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to her.

"Forget it, I'm not the leading actor. Why should I go? I'll just wait for you in the auditorium." Liu Yifei said with a smile, and played with Li Mu's clothes.

"This dress looks good, you should wear it."

Li Mu looked at this dark blue suit. It was okay, at least it wasn't colorful.

Quan Zhixian and others had come here early and were waiting to take their seats, and even earlier than them were Huaxia fans, who could not wait for the premiere.

Li Mu packed up and brought Liang Jiahui, Simon Yam and others to the venue on time.

Among the ten-person creative team, Li Mu walked in the center and waved.

"Suddenly I feel that Director Li is the real protagonist. This posture is amazing."

The fans below were originally cheering for their favorite celebrities, but unexpectedly they became fans of Li Mu.

"I like to watch everything he directs, but now it's more important to watch beautiful women!" The man next to him obviously came to the premiere to watch the female stars.At this time, guests gathered in the auditorium, including those who had worked with Li Mu but not before.

Brother Chen Kai reciprocated the favor. Li Mu from "The Promise" went to support him, and this time it was his turn.

"You have to get "Golden Armor"!" Zhang Yimou was communicating with Li Mu at this time.

"Senior brother, don't say you shouted. Even if you didn't shout, I would still go to the red carpet."

Li Mu was joking.

The actors were still outside accepting cheers from fans and filming interviews with reporters.

The fans outside were very enthusiastic, screaming and shouting one after another.

The reception lasted for more than an hour, and the time slowly approached for the premiere interview.

I saw Li Mu sitting in the middle, and the ten leading actors lined up and took their seats one after another.

"Director Li, do you have any expectations for this Sino-Korean co-production film?"

The media in the imperial capital are sensible and did not ask questions blindly.

"There are definitely expectations. Putting aside everything else, the box office cannot be bad, otherwise I will be sorry for the investors."

Li Mu's words instantly aroused enthusiastic laughter from the entire audience.

Some film companies nodded. Li Mu’s words were true. We are here to make money, not charity.

There are always some directors who don't understand this point clearly, and use money to make films into so-called art, which is really a loss to grandma's family.

"Interview with Quan Zhixian. Director Lee is a world-renowned director. What is the difference between acting in his movies and acting in movies directed by Korean directors?"

Then the translator quickly translated it again, leaving Quan Zhixian in a daze.

Li Mu didn't expect the Southern Entertainment News to ask such a question, and Quan Zhixian might not be able to handle this topic.

"First of all, I'm very grateful to Director Li for his recognition and giving me this opportunity. Director Li's latest movie even made it onto the global box office list, which is really amazing. If it's different, sometimes you need help to act in Director Li's movies. Translation, because I really don’t understand the language, and my English is not very good, so I don’t need it if I’m playing someone from my own country.”

After all, Zhixian even made an apologetic gesture in embarrassment.

Li Mu nodded. He wasn't fooled and was quite responsive.

The reporter didn't stop, and the leading actors came one by one. When it was Liang Jiahui's turn to answer, the audience burst into laughter.

After the interview, the movie began to be officially released.

At the beginning, it was Quan Zhixian's clothes-changing show, showing off her figure in tight clothes.

The camera cuts quickly, and the identity of the thief is self-evident.

The plot is tight, scene after scene, and leaves no room for the audience to breathe.

High technology, action scenes, and Hollywood-style tight rhythm directly fulfilled the audience's expectations.

"Cool, this movie looks really cool. It's not like those made by domestic directors at all. It's crisp and clean." Some viewers were already whispering.

"It's not sloppy, it's great, it's fun from beginning to end."

The two-hour movie seemed to end without any feeling.

The audience is still a little bit unsatisfied.

"This movie is expected to be a hit." Some film critics are already talking about it.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a smooth high-tech crime action movie."

The filmmaker has already thought about the content of the next film review.

The reporters had one question at this time.

"Director Li, let me give you an estimate of how much box office this movie can earn."

The reporters shouted wildly.

"One hundred million first"

The reporters were a little disappointed. Li Mu's movie cost [-] million, which was not news at all.

"Break another [-] million!"

Li Mu then shouted.

The reporters' eyes lit up. Two hundred million dollars, this was considered news.

"Commercial films, you are ahead of us!"

After Zhang Yimou read it, he said to Li Mu with some emotion.

At the cocktail party in the evening, Li Mu also participated in the whole process. Han Sanping was very happy. He could tell that this movie would definitely not be bad at the box office.

"Is there no problem with the Korean premiere?" Han Sanjing asked. This is also an important ticket warehouse.

"No, CJ is here. I'll go there tomorrow and come back after harvesting."

"Hey, you kid."

Han Sanping also understood what Li Mu meant, but this was the fact.

Early the next morning, Li Mu flew to South Korea with his team.

CJ was responsible for the entire reception.

At the premiere in South Korea, fans went even crazier, and CJ’s security personnel almost couldn’t hold on.

"These fans are much more powerful than those in China." Liang Jiahui was a little surprised when he saw the battle.

"This is just entertainment here."

Li Mu smiled.

"Director Li, you also have a lot of fans."

Ren Dahua pointed to the area on the left, where fans were holding signs with Li Mu's name written on them.

It was also the first time that he saw that the director had so many fans.

Li Mu also specifically waved his hand over there. Not to mention that some people like to watch the movie you made, it still feels very good.

During the interview, the questions were all pretty standard, and CJ put in the best effort.
