Chapter 170
"Is this film well-received in the United States?" After Li Mu and others finished watching, Zhu Yawen couldn't help but asked.

"IMDb is currently 7.2/10, and the Rotten Tomatoes index is 69%. So far, North American reviews are okay." David had already sent the North American information about the movie to his email yesterday.

"Why do I feel like a bad movie?" Shu Chang muttered.

"I also feel that the plot is too simple." Liu Yifei and her best friend stood on the same line.

"It varies from person to person. For foreigners, the plot of this mysterious oriental story and myth is not simple. But for us, it is naturally simple if we are familiar with it."

For the movie "The King of Kung Fu", I guess I didn't think much about its domestic acceptance from the beginning. I probably felt that the domestic box office would not be able to make back its money, and it was all based on a Hollywood-style script.

For domestic audiences, if it weren't for the blessings of Cheng Long and Li Lienjie, this movie would probably be turned into a dog.

However, this did not affect the early surge in the domestic box office. When Li Mu was still concentrating on "Your Name", it took in 1600 million yuan on the first day.

Imperial City's New Film Alliance Cinemas directly signed a 2300 million yuan distribution buyout agreement with Huayi.

The first batch of viewers here in China received mixed reviews. Some people felt that the double-J fight was worth the price of admission, while others complained that the script was vulgar.

As for Huayi's belief that it can exceed 2 million in box office, Li Mu feels that their idea is too good. Although the audience has been tricked into watching it, it does not mean that the audience is a fool.

And when "Iron Man" is paper?
This movie can be said to have consumed the box office brought by the popularity of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, but Jingtian benefited a lot. Although the role of Jin Yanzi is dispensable, being able to appear in such a blockbuster still gained a lot of popularity. of.

You know, there are so few blockbusters in Hollywood that need an Asian heroine?
Recently, Bai Ling is about to open a legendary Hollywood blockbuster, which is so big that even Li Mu's Crystal Pictures can't get any information about the movie in Hollywood.

As a result, she shouted it out loudly, fearing that the people in the country would not know.

More actors seem to go to Hollywood, show their face once, make a vase for a while, then turn around and come back, and then there will be a lot of publicity and their net worth will increase a lot.

Lu Zheng is very troubled now. Although Jingtian has received a lot of attention because of "The King of Kung Fu" and has been invited by many movies, these are just small fights and Lu Zheng doesn't like it at all.

Lu Zheng asked people around and found out that all the well-known directors in the industry had work on hand. They were either busy with post-production, were filming, or just didn't plan to make a movie.

"Uncle Lu, how about we accept Director Xia's suggestion and make a TV series? I haven't done it yet. I'll make a movie again when I get the chance."

"Okay, I'll help you find out later!" Lu Zheng also thinks this is a way. The TV series team is not bad either, with Liu Ye and Zhao Zhetian starring, which can also increase Jingtian's popularity.

"It's better for Liu Yifei. With Director Li as her escort, you don't have to worry about making any movie!" Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh. Liu Yifei still didn't shoot "The King of Kung Fu", so it was the turn of the people behind to compete.

Jingtian listened silently and didn't say anything.

On the set of "Your Name", the scene between Li Mu and Yan Danchen was also an emotional undercurrent, although it was a very short plot.

The protagonist skips classes and is tired of studying, likes to draw, works part-time jobs in restaurants, and has a crush on an older girl. At this time, he has no ideals and just lives in a hurry every day, feeling the same confusion as I did when I was young.

Later, for Sanye, everything changed.

This is the turning point of the plot. The hidden lines assist the main plot and make the movie more delicate and watchable.

This plot was shot very quickly, and it was almost finished within a few days of Yan Danchen's arrival.

Together with Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and Shu Chang, they are also about to finish the project.

Li Mu specially organized a simple closing banquet for a few people, and everyone toasted and cheered in the evening.

"There's not much plot left." Liu Yifei still felt a little emotional. As she continued filming, she felt that the filming was about to be completed, and she was still a little reluctant to give up for a while.

"Why are you reluctant?" Li Mu held his chin in his hand and looked at Liu Yifei. At this time, Liu Yifei's face was still a little tipsy because she drank a little wine.

Shining under the night lights, it is white and rosy, and it is really cute.

"A little."

"Sick of literary disease?"

"You are the one who committed the crime." Liu Yifei immediately started fighting with Li Mu.

The King of Kung Fu broke 5000 million in three days and almost broke 6000 million, but the negative reviews from the audience were increasing.

So much so that Wang Zhongjun came out and said: "For the global box office, we have to give up some things."

This sentence is very spiritual. Everyone knows what they are giving up.

In the past few days since its release, the Imperial College Student Film Festival has finally come to an end. Feng Xiaogang finally won the Best Director Award for "Assembly", finally having an award to protect himself from.

"Your Name" has reached the final stage of filming. Li Mu expects to wrap it up before May, and has announced that it will open for tours starting tomorrow.

It turned out that the No. 1 person who came was Brother Chen Kai, and he also brought Chen Hong with him. He brought a lot of food and drinks for the crew, and they were all in the car behind him.

It's just that when Li Mu met Brother Chen Kai, he felt that he was still a little depressed for some unknown reason.

"Senior brother, you don't look right."

"The post-production work on "Mei Lanfang" can't be done in time, Cannes will start soon." Chen Hong answered Li Mu's question.

Good guy, no wonder Brother Chen Kai doesn't look right. He was planning to avenge his shame, but unexpectedly he missed a good opportunity.

"Is it too late for Venice this year?" Li Mu asked.

"Depending on the situation, there will still be a big problem in the later stage. If I can't go to Venice, I will transfer to Berlin next year." Brother Chen Kai sighed.

Venice is better, but Berlin International Film Festival?
Li Mu felt that there was something wrong with the film festival chosen by Brother Chen Kai.

You must know that the Berlin Film Festival is more inclined to image reflections in the context of political life. Most of the award-winning films are serious and steady. It has a special preference for films that reflect war, current turmoil, cultural differences, and ethical and moral themes.

It is difficult for "Mei Lanfang" to break through from Berlin, but Cannes and Venice are more suitable. "Brother, I think "Mei Lanfang" is more suitable for Cannes and Venice. The Berlin award is a bit too serious."

"Well, I understand this." Brother Chen Kai is a little anxious now. After all, the failure of "The Promise" makes him a little anxious to prove himself.

The two chatted for a while. Brother Chen Kai estimated that Li Mu had to prepare for work. Before leaving, he invited him: "Okay, let's go have roast duck tonight. Your sister-in-law has booked a restaurant."

"Call Qianqian." Chen Hong added with a smile.

"Okay, let's finish work later." Li Mu was speechless when he heard the word roast duck. He felt that Brother Chen Kai seemed to have a special liking for roast duck.

Now that I’ve come to Shanghai, I’ve even found a roast duck restaurant.

This Imperial Roast Duck is really not as good as the roast duck in Yangcheng. Moreover, there are many ways to eat Imperial Roast Duck, and it also pays attention to knife skills and so on.

"Everyone, get ready and continue shooting." Li Mu stood up and directed everyone.

In the past few days, many people have come to visit the class, mostly reporters, who want to get some first-hand information.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei were interviewed by reporters.

Many reporters also wanted to explore the affairs of Li Mu and Liu Yifei, but were directly rejected by Li Mu with no comment.

Li Mu would definitely not choose to let reporters announce it, and they would have to make an official announcement themselves.

Reporters have also learned the lesson. Since you can’t ask about gossip, let’s ask about movies.

"Director Li, why do you want to make a romance movie?"

"Don't ignore these two lines. This is a fantasy romance film."

The reporter felt a little confused. This answer seemed to be no different from no answer.

"Director Li, what kind of story is this that can move you to film it?"

"It's not convenient to disclose the story. You can watch the movie after it is released. This is a fantasy love story between a boy and a girl."

"."

Still unable to interview this black hole-like existence, the reporter quickly handed the microphone to Liu Yifei.

"Ms. Liu Yifei, may I ask why you acted as the heroine in Director Li's movie?"

"He asked me to act, so I acted!"

"."

"Isn't there some other reason?"

"Is there any other reason?" Liu Yifei's doubtful little eyes made the reporter feel as if he had asked the wrong question. Why did he feel that he was asking the question back to me?

How do I know if you have other reasons? The reporter wants to give himself a slap at this moment and come over for an interview.

"So when is "Your Name" expected to be finished?"

"At the end of the month." Li Mu replied without hesitation.

The reporter finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least he got a useful answer, so he didn't get nothing.

"Okay, the crew is going to continue filming." Li Mu took Liu Yifei to continue filming the next plot.

Several reporters looked at me and I looked at you, feeling that this announcement was a bit difficult to compile.

The domestic box office of "The King of Kung Fu" reached 8000 million yuan in its first week, and at this time Li Mu and Liu Yifei had their last scene.

The two people living in the magical city each got up and went out, and saw each other on the subway that they missed while running fast.

Their eyes widened, confirming that that was the person they were looking for.

We all got off at the next stop.

We walked through the streets and alleys and finally met at the steps.

Li Mu was at the bottom of the steps and Liu Yifei was on the steps.

The two of them walked by pretending to be calm and then stopped at the same time.

Li Mu turned around first, "Have we seen that before somewhere?"

Liu Yifei turned around and already had tears streaming down her face, "I think so too."

Your name is.?
"Ka, it's done!" Li Mu waited for a while before speaking loudly. Before that, all the crew members were silent and waiting.

Even though I already knew it was over, the director didn't say anything, so I had no choice but to continue filming.

"Oh yeah!" The studio cheered.

However, Liu Yifei had not yet left the show, tears were still rolling in her eyes, and the noisy environment around her seemed a bit out of tune with her.

Using too much force, Li Mu knew the problem at a glance.
