Chapter 151 Brainwashing the actors
"The two of you are now having an extramarital affair, lies, and betrayal. It is reflected vividly in you, so I hope to reflect this feeling."

Li Mu is still communicating with the male and female protagonist.

Extramarital affairs inevitably involve lies and betrayal. Li Mu also uses this to express the current widespread problem of moral corruption. Extramarital affairs are just the beginning of deception and lies.

When the protagonist starts his first lie, various events will affect each other like a chain reaction. At this time, a large number of lies are intertwined into a huge scam.

Yuan Quan and Zhang Songwen nodded seriously after listening to Li Mu's words.

"Okay, director, we know what to do."

Zhang Songwen responded.

"Then continue."

Li Mu continues to direct the filming, and the filming of "The Invisible Guest" is progressing very smoothly. It is impossible to say that Li Mu will be able to be a fast shooter this time.

I expect to finish filming within two months, and I have to go to the beautiful country to watch the American version of Little Times produced by Crystal Pictures, and then go to South Africa to supervise the filming of the important plot of "District [-]".

This film is also the focus of Crystal Pictures’ public relations next year.

The studio was taking a break at this time, and some filming work was completed ahead of schedule. Li Mu didn't push too hard and was relaxed.

"Director Li, why did you suddenly make such a movie? The investment is not big. An international director like you should have no shortage of blockbusters."

Ren Dahua had nothing to do, so he came over to chat with Li Mu.

Zhang Songwen, Yuan Quan, Li Xuejian and others next to them also quickly pricked up their ears.

They were also curious about what prompted Li Mu to direct such a movie.

"Do you know the movie "Midnight Song"?" Li Mu looked at everyone, especially Li Xuejian and Pan Hong. Logically speaking, they should have studied it back then.

"Is Director Li talking about Ma Xu Weibang's version or Yu Rentai's version?"

After Li Xuejian thought for a moment, he gave a reply.

"In 37, Ma Xu Weibang's "Midnight Song" was regarded as the first blockbuster suspense film in China, and it once broke the box office record of that year.

In fact, in 57, "Yangcheng Hidden Whistle" also triggered an unprecedented movie-watching craze and reawakened domestic movie audiences' interest in suspense movies. "

Li Mu is still slowly explaining the history of suspense films.

"Starting from "The Mysterious Big Buddha" in 81, suspense movies went on hiatus for 20 years. It was not until 2000 that "The Detective" and "Manslaughter" appeared.

Everyone knows about this era of hiatus.Directors are obsessed with martial arts films, kung fu films, literary films and other types of films, and many of them have their small budgets buried, unless they win an award and sell the copyright.

It wasn't until Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" appeared that low-cost comedy became popular.

Mengying previously launched a program to support new directors, but the results were all low-cost comedies or low-cost literary films.

In fact, the investment in suspense films is not large. As long as the low-cost suspense films have tight logic and can be gripping, there will still be audiences willing to pay and the box office will be a hit. This is actually a way to go. "

When Li Mu said this, his voice suddenly stopped and he did not continue.

Everyone also understood that Li Mu was planning to set a benchmark for domestic suspense films and open up a new path.

Just as Zhang Yimou ushered in the era of commercial blockbusters with "Hero", Ning Hao ushered in the era of small-cost commercial films with "Crazy Stone".

The low-cost approach of suspense films is also suitable for new directors to shoot as their debut films.

Whether a new director can succeed, whether his first film makes money, and whether he can win awards are very important.

Not everyone has that opportunity. It's a big commercial production, and there are a lot of directors who try and make mistakes on a small budget.

Li Mu knows very well that in the next ten years, suspense films will become increasingly popular, with various themes and excellent works appearing in full swing.

Li Mu doesn't mind, but mentions this time in advance. In fact, it's not just comedies that can break through with low-cost domestic films, but also suspense films.

This depends on the skill of the screenwriter and director.

"After listening to Director Li's words, I am very motivated." Zhang Songwen said to Yuan Quan with a smile.

"Act well, Director Li wants this movie to be at the top of suspense."

Yuan Quan is very lucky that there is still such an opportunity waiting for him.

Zhang Xuejian and Pan Hong looked at each other in tacit understanding and nodded.

After this brainwashing, things really changed. The leading actors worked hard to squeeze out their acting skills.

Li Mu was extremely satisfied!

This performance is more and more exciting each time, and from time to time, I will take the initiative to ask for a guarantee and do it again.

However, the paparazzi in Xiangjiang are showing up more and more frequently, and they are everywhere.

Li Mu didn't care. Anyway, this was also a publicity method. Occasionally showing photos would be more attractive.

At this time, two paparazzi were secretly filming not far away. Yuan Quan spread out the script with both hands and carefully figured out the plot. He was facing the direction of the paparazzi.

"Hurry up and take a photo of the title of the script." Upon seeing this, one of them immediately urged.

"We're shooting now, don't rush, adjust the focus, the distance is a bit far."

"Did you see the name of the script?"

"Saw!"

"what is it call?"

"Invisible!"

"What? Did you see it?"

"I see."

"What's the name of the script?"

"Invisible!"

".Do you have a problem with me?" "I specifically said the name of the script is "Invisible", can you stop asking like a pig?"

The paparazzi who took the photo got angry and started yelling curses.

The two paparazzi saw that there was a blurry photo of the script cover in the camera. Although the name was a bit strange, there was hope for a bonus.

"Let's go back quickly, don't let others take the credit away."

The two people quickly took the camera and hurried back.

The paparazzi in Xiangjiang are very efficient, and soon the city is full of uproar.

"The stills of Li Mu's crew have been released. It's a scene you can't even imagine!"

"A photo tells you what the name of Li Mu's new movie is!"

"Li Mu's script has been exposed and the content is clearly visible!"

The netizen who was opening the entertainment website was still clamoring with excitement and trembling hands.

"Holy crap, the script has been exposed. Come on in and take a look."

Then a blurry and clear photo came into view. It only showed the cover of the script. In order to take the photo, I had to zoom in and out.

On the white cover, you can barely make out three words: "Invisible."

"What the hell, rubbish paparazzi!" Netizens yelled directly.

"The script has also been exposed. It can be clearly seen that your uncle is really there. It's just three words that can't be seen."

Netizens cursed, gave bad reviews, and commented wildly below.

"You are not of this level to be a paparazzi. I suggest you go home and raise pigs."

"Dogs can take pictures, so I really don't blame you."

Soon, the news spread throughout the mainland. Netizens and the media were a little confused when they saw the three big characters. They were very confused when they couldn't see the three characters. They felt that Li Mu had deliberately released them.

Portal websites have headlines speculating on the name and genre of Li Mu's new movie.

Liu Yifei is staying at home at this time. After returning from "Inception", she only accepted one high-end endorsement, and then she stayed at home and played with her cat.

"Sissi, do you know the name of Li Mu's new movie?"

Shu Chang was quite curious about this matter, not only her, but everyone in the circle was also extremely curious.

No one knows what kind of movie Li Mu is making.

"I don't know, he refused to tell me." Liu Yifei, who was mumbling, looked really cute at this moment.

"You act coquettishly with him, this is a surefire move." Shu Chang picked up the grapevine from the table, put it in his mouth, and said nonchalantly.

"After using it, it has all the uses. A stinky man won't know how to cherish it once he gets it."

"What did you get? Sissi, are you hiding something from me?"

"Ah no, I said it wrong."

"As expected, you have already. You said you didn't have it last time."

"Sing, please sing in a lower voice."

Liu Yifei quickly covered Shu Chang's mouth with her hands.

The two quarreled for a while before Shu Chang survived Liu Yifei's clutches.

"Aren't you going to visit the class?"

"I'm not going, Amu said the filming will be finished soon." Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't plan to disturb him.

Li Mu is still filming in Hong Kong, and Simon Yam's guest role has been completed. "Director Li, there is no need for a wrapping party. The premiere of "Lust, Caution" will be held in Hong Kong soon. Do you want to come with us?"

Two days ago, the invitation letter for the premiere of Li Bian's "Lust, Caution" was sent to Li Mu's crew.

"Forget it, the scene is too tight."

Li Mu thought for a moment and shook his head.

Here in the Mainland, the review of "Lust, Caution" has not yet been completed, and it is estimated that it will not be released at the end of September.

"Okay, Director Li, remember to call me next time you have a good movie." Simon Yam smiled, waved, got in the car, and left the set.

"Keep working!" Li Mu took a loudspeaker and began to urge the crew to work.

In the past few days, the popularity of "Lust, Caution" has not dropped but has increased. After its first premiere on Baodao, it directly took in a box office of NT$398.5 million in three ticketed premieres, which is equivalent to nearly one million yuan.

This number exceeded the box office of the Treasure Island premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that year.

Compared with "The Golden Armor", which was recently released in Baodao, the single-screen box office of "Lust, Caution" was three times that of "The Golden Armor".

The box office in Xiangjiang is also reporting good news one after another, and it is making great progress all the way.

The scene between Tang Wei and Tony Leung was also talked about.

Whether or not there was actual combat with real guns is a topic that has become a hot topic on the Internet.

After all, with that position, it's hard to imagine that this is filming, and Tang Wei's expression is too lifelike.

Tingling, tension, excitement, struggle.
Poor domestic netizens don't have the resources yet, so they can only beg for help. However, there are some unclear pirated copies that were secretly photographed, which look very unsatisfactory.

During the filming, David called and told Li Mu excitedly: "Boss, Tom Cruise spent 7500 million to build a bunker to prevent the end of the world."

Tom Cruise is also a top star in the beautiful country. His actions directly affected a large number of fans.

Not a penny was spent, free publicity was gained, and the topic of the end of the world became more popular.

During this time, there has been more and more information about the end of the world in 2012, and there have been over 10 comments on Li Muna’s website.
