Chapter 115 Script
Li Mu thought about it for a while and already thought about what he wanted to shoot next, which could be regarded as opening a crack in the door of China's science fiction.

After all, this is not a pure hard science fiction or soft science fiction movie, but more of an exploration and thinking of science fiction.

The script still needs to be adjusted. In the previous life, the film was slightly compromised for the sake of box office, and it was not in-depth enough, but it was still nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.

However, Li Mu doesn't care about the box office of this movie. This movie is purely for winning three major awards, mainly selling overseas copyrights, and paving the way for Chinese science fiction.

Following this direction, the ending of this script needs to be changed significantly, and even the name Li Mu is wanted to be changed, so that the jury can explore what human emotions are and what loneliness is after reading it.

After the movie comes out, ten or twenty years later, when people come back to watch the movie, it will be a completely different story, and it is unlikely that it will be regarded as a masterpiece again.

Li Mu had to write the script well. The lines in it are too literary and fresh, but the untouchable loneliness is difficult to describe in words.

We can no longer rely on the screenwriters of Crystal and Mengying, but the crew can speed up their preparations, select the right people, and start filming immediately during a free period.

In his previous life, this filming location was the Magic City, and Li Mu didn't plan to change that.

However, the male protagonist has to choose a suitable candidate. You must know that in this movie, the male protagonist's appearance rate is 100%, and there is no female protagonist.

In his previous life, he was played by Joaquin Phoenix, who was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor at the 2000rd Academy Awards in 73 for "Gladiator". In 2005, he was nominated for the Best Actor at the 78th Academy Awards for this film.

An absolutely powerful actor, and later "Joker" is even more of a classic.

However, the actor Li Mu is not too worried. On the contrary, Li Mu, the supporting actress, is a little hesitant.
You must know that this character, Scarlett Johansson, won the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for a Golden Globe based on just one photo and full dubbing. Although this character is a supporting actress, she is everywhere in the movie.

Li Mu thought for a moment and then forgot about it.

This script is still in its early stages, so there’s no point in thinking too much about it.

While Li Mu was writing the script, he was also keeping an eye on the post-production process of Industrial Light and Magic. The progress of Tiancai was also regularly sent to Li Mu for review.

Make sure there are no deviations.

The reputation of "The Golden Jacket" is showing signs of collapse, but the box office is still so strong.

Netizens have commented on "The Promise", "The Night Banquet", and "A City Full of Golden Armor" together.

Fortunately, I also took a multiple-choice question. If I had to choose one of the three movies, most people still chose "The Golden Armor".

Li Mu looked at the pile of steamed buns in the movie and still felt a little emotional. The General Administration is still relaxed now, so that in future generations, no one can appear below the neck.

These days, Han Sanping also called, asking Li Mu to attend the "Descendants of the Dragon" selection conference, and Cheng Long also made a special trip to invite him.

An annual masterpiece jointly produced by Capital TV, Cheng Long, China Film and Emperor, supporting the large-scale TV selection event for the 08 Capital Olympics.

This is another selection similar to "Dream of Red Mansions", and Li Mu is not sure how tricky it is. Although the starting point is good, the final result is not satisfactory.

There was not enough time to write the script, so Li Mu declined Han Sanping and Cheng Long.

Warner's annual meeting is coming again in the new year. This year has been fruitful and it is even more grand.

Outside the hotel door, there are various movie posters, the most obvious of which is "I Am Legend".

"I Am Legend" has been released in North America, but it is still being screened in some countries internationally. The international box office has exceeded 2.8 million, and it is not far away from 3 million US dollars.

Li Mu was naturally a guest at the annual meeting, and David also took advantage of it. The two chatted and laughed happily at the annual meeting.

Female celebrities are even more gorgeous, walking among the crowd, showing off their proud figures and beautiful looks.

"How are you doing? Do you like it?" Li Mu was not too restrained on a relaxing day and asked David with a slight smile.

"Angelina Jolie!" David didn't even want to move his eyes away from the flaming red lips.

"Are you going to compete with Pete?"

Angelina Jolie, who just gave birth to her baby, is very charming at this time.

It's a pity that this is a fierce horse, and whoever gets on it will be a piece of grassland.

David didn't comment. He probably would have wanted to compete if it wasn't for his looks.

"Boss, do you have any new ideas?" David asked about business. After all, Li Mu's movies are the foundation for Crystal's development and growth.

Li Mu gave up David's idea, "Yeah! But I don't plan to film it in Hollywood."

David then thought: "Boss, do you want to hit the top three in Europe? Have you selected the actors?"

Li Mu was a little confused. After all, David had never asked about the actors in these years. Moreover, this was going to be filmed in China, so it seemed a little weird for David to ask about the actors.

However, Li Mu still replied, "Not yet, still thinking about it. Do you have any actors you know who would recommend you?"

"Crystal! Boss, if there is a suitable role, you have to call her, otherwise she will be sad."

David looked serious.

Li Mu smiled: "What benefits has Crystal given you? I am your boss."

"No, no, no, I can see that Crystal has eyes for you. You can't find another girl like this here."

David has also been through the ups and downs of this industry, and he has seen a lot over the years.

Li Mu nodded thoughtfully and changed the topic: "First finish filming "Twilight", this movie is what you need to pay attention to." David did not answer the next words, looking seriously. Yingying Yanyan at the banquet suddenly changed her appearance.

"Boss, take care of yourself!"

David held the wine glass, and his fat body moved flexibly through the banquet, seeming to be looking for a suitable target.

I have to say that this fat man really likes parties and banquets. He wishes he could have parties seven days a week.

However, David was suitable for this occasion and helped Li Mu avoid a lot of trouble. Such banquets and parties are indispensable when starting a company.

Like Mizukage's reputation in the circle, all kinds of invitations come with it.

Some of them are definitely going, even Li Mu can't turn them away.

If you go there and have a few drinks, you won't give the host face. With David here, at least he can show up. Li Mu doesn't want to be young and wobbly with a big belly.

Li Mu shook his head, looked at the time, communicated with Warner executives, and returned to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

The night was lonely, and the starlight seemed to be obscured by thick clouds, making it a little dim.

In Beverly Hills, Li Mu was enjoying this rare tranquility. As if he was inspired, he picked up the unfinished script and wrote it with this weak inspiration.
When Li Mu was working in the later stage, he also received a call from Jing Tian.

Rob Minkoff has decided on the role of Golden Swallow in "The King of Kung Fu" and it's definitely her.

He said that news would be announced in a few days, and he thanked Li Mu again and again on the phone.

Li Mu also called CJ Entertainment regarding the promotion of Golden Armor Korea, and the other party would help arrange the rest.

On the other hand, "The City of Golden Armor" was renamed "The Queen's Flower" in South Korea. I heard that it was taken from the plot of the Queen's Embroidery, which is more meaningful.

This time, the screening scale of "Golden Armor" in South Korea far exceeded that of "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" at the time, and the copyright buyout fee also set a record high for Chinese films in South Korea.

Zhang Weiping once again promoted it in the media.

The reputation of Lao Mouzi in Asia is still valuable, and the domestic box office has begun to exceed 3 million. However, due to the reversal of reputation, the box office has shown a clear trend of decline.

James Wan's "Dead Silence" has been confirmed to be released in March 07, and it was David who told him this news.

After all, Crystal also has a horror movie, and this competitor still knows it clearly.

Production and distribution company Universal are involved, investing $2000 million.

According to the box office of the previous life, the blood loss is certain, but there is a DVD rental fee for horror movies, although the battle is drawn out for a long time.

The DVD revenue of "The Pursuit of Happyness" has only been known in the past few days, and it is as high as 1.5 million US dollars, but it will take some time to get a share.

And this income will increase over time. According to data surveys, actors such as Will Smith have a great influence on the DVD rental income of movies.

This is why he has become a top player in Hollywood circles.

The domestic "Hurt City" wave is really hurt, and I probably didn't expect that Golden Armor would have such great stamina.

In the three days of Christmas, the mainland box office exceeded 2400 million yuan. The market has already given predictions that there is no chance of exceeding [-] million yuan.

It took Li Mu two weeks to finally take shape of the script, which would need to be adjusted and polished later before it was complete.

After stretching, Li Mu also took a rare moment to relax.

After looking at the information sent from China, Huayi has done a thorough job in marketing.

One moment Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly", the other moment "The King of Kung Fu".

From time to time, tidbits about the first and second female lead in "The King of Kung Fu" are revealed.

Jing Tian and Li Binbin became the female lead in the new Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The King of Kung Fu", which instantly caused quite a stir.

Although it is hearsay, there is no smoke without fire.

Especially for the girl Ikageta, reporters have dug into the family's background, but they still can't find any real information.

I only know that he once starred in "Anaconda", and almost no one in the industry has heard of it.

Then he played a small supporting role in Li Mu's blockbuster, but there are rumors that Li Mu personally appointed him.

What kind of luck is this, getting the female lead in "The King of Kung Fu" again?
Many actresses in the industry were not convinced for a moment.

However, none of these news have been confirmed, and Huayi is also trying to whet everyone's appetite by refusing to make an official announcement.

"Then Jingtian is really the first girl?" Li Binbin didn't believe it.

Although she got the role of the white-haired witch, she was still the second female lead after all.

After listening to this, now the newcomers can directly take the lead female role, and they also act as her co-stars. It feels like the world is a bit magical.

"Robert Minkoff personally selected him. I heard he has some relationship with the star-studded Mr. Lu." Li Xue said truthfully. This character attracted a lot of attention.

“Capital is really easy to use these days.”
