Chapter 172 Dark Knight, I’m not in a hurry

"Director Han, I will not go to the premiere of "Red Cliff", but if Director Wu Yusen is interested, I will invite him to the premiere of "The Invisible Guest"."

Li Mu received a call from Han Sanping at Liu Yifei's house, inviting Li Mu to attend the premiere of "Red Cliff" next month. Li Mu refused without hesitation.

There's really nothing interesting about the weird plot. The only highlight is Lin Zhiling's costume, which is pretty good.

"Director Han called you again?" Liu Yifei heard Han Sanping's calls several times, with calls coming every now and then.

"I'm used to it." Li Mu spread his hands.

Many people have recently invited him to attend premieres. Will Smith also has a movie scheduled to be released in July, "Superman".

Will Smith is now known as the "Box Office King" and "the world's No. [-] individual in cumulative box office" is not in vain.

However, this movie will definitely not be able to beat "Red Cliff" in China. The two movies have formed a competitive relationship in the July schedule.

And Nolan's "The Dark Knight" is also on the July schedule. Fortunately, it will not be introduced in China, otherwise it is hard to say whether "Red Cliff" will win in the end.

Nolan's invitation to the premiere also came. Li Mu thought about it for a while and decided to accept it. At least going to this premiere didn't require him to say anything against his will, and he could also flirt back, killing two birds with one stone.

Take the opportunity to take a look at this masterpiece, which can be said to be a rare masterpiece in the superhero genre, and it will still be at the top in future generations.

"Amu, before we know it, we are almost in the third year of training."

Liu Yifei has been working as a producer recently, and she also re-wrote her graduation work, and used the production content of "Your Name" as her graduation masterpiece, so much so that "The Intouchables" won the Cannes Jury Prize. They were all abandoned by her.

"Time flies a bit." Li Mu thought about it, why so many years had suddenly passed.

"Then when will we make it public?" Liu Yifei blinked, with endless anticipation in her eyes.

It was not public, and she couldn't hold hands even when she showed her face, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

Li Mu looked at the girl in front of him and said, "Why do you suddenly feel that time has passed?" People never feel without reason.

It turns out I was waiting for this.

Li Mu didn't hesitate, otherwise the little girl's tears would flow out like tap water and she wouldn't be able to stop them.

He quickly whispered something into Liu Yifei's ear, which instantly made her happy.

"This is what you said, you can't go back on it." Liu Yifei pressed her little face against Li Mu's chest and whispered softly.

"What should I do if I regret it?"

"Then be careful when you sleep at night."

Recently, the news that Huang Shengyi entered Hollywood has exploded in the industry. It is said that he will star in the Disney blockbuster "Witch Mountain" and a remake of the 70s adventure classic "The Adventures of Devil's Mountain".

Even the look has been revealed, an alien princess in silver armor.

Many actresses in the industry are envious because this is another actress who has broken into Hollywood.

Li Mu looked at the appearance on Liu Yifei's computer and found it strange. He had never felt that this character existed in this movie in his previous life.

Li Mu asked David to check the information. The feedback almost made Li Mu burst out laughing. This character was really a supporting role among supporting roles. Among the more than 50 actors with photos, Li Mu found her face at the bottom with difficulty.

But looking back at the domestic reports, Li Mu was shocked by how she felt like playing a heroine.

So this is how the art of language is applied?

The publicity for "Red Cliff" is overwhelming, just like the previous "The Promise", you can see it everywhere, and the edited clips seem to be quite exciting.

Netizens were deceived again, shouting that this summer vacation is really happy. There is "Red Cliff" in the front and "The Invisible Guest" in the back. They are watching the Olympics on TV. It is not too beautiful.

"The scar is really healed and I forgot about the pain." Li Mu couldn't help but shook his head when he saw netizens were once again being incited by the so-called blockbuster.

The premiere of "Red Cliff" was very grand. Although Han Sanping was keen on having big scenes and big productions, he was a little nervous now. He originally planned to invite Li Mu to come and have a look, so that he could ask him about this. I have a good idea of ​​the quality of the movie.

It probably won't be the next "The Promise", Han Sanping was worried at this time.

All the previous arrangements went smoothly, and soon the premiere of "Red Cliff" would begin.

As a result, the audience looked at it and laughed. Not only was Han Sanping a little confused, but Wu Yusen was also a little confused.

"No, I didn't make the movie a comedy." Wu Yusen thought to himself.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei are preparing their luggage to fly to New York to attend the premiere of "The Dark Knight."

"A Mu, are the online comments true?" Liu Yifei laughed out loud while looking at the online reviews of "Red Cliff" and read them word for word to Li Mu.

"Liu Bei makes straw sandals, Zhang Fei writes big characters, Guan Yu doesn't ride a horse, and Kong Ming raises pigeons."

"The territories of the Three Kingdoms were not unified, but their hairstyles were unified first."

"When Zhou Yu saw Zhuge Liang for the first time, he asked why he was fanning himself when it was so cold. Zhuge Liang said, I need to calm down."

"Zhou Yu saw Zhuge Liang fanning some pigeons and asked him what he was doing. Zhuge Liang said, I gave them a bath and fanned them. Zhou Yu said: Aren't you afraid they will catch a cold?"

"."

Li Mu was also curious and watched for a while. Liu Yifei laughed until she collapsed in Li Mu's arms.

Fortunately, I didn't go. Otherwise, if the reporter asked Li Mu what he thought of the movie, he couldn't say that I watched a comedy. You must know that Wu Yusen made an anti-war film.

It is a movie with noble pursuits.

"Will the box office be high?" Liu Yifei suddenly asked.

"It should be quite high. This funny line actually has a little effect." Li Mu thought for a moment. The box office in 08 has begun to show a blowout trend, and "Red Cliff" also encountered a good opportunity.

It has to be said that Wu Yusen divided it into two parts, which saved him and China Film. Otherwise, if it was condensed into one part, China Film would definitely lose everything.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei went to Beautiful Country, and only Shu Chang knew about it for the time being. Before leaving, Shu Chang and Liu Yifei muttered: "You two can't hide it now."

Liu Yifei smiled and raised her hand.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei went to Lincoln Center in New York this time.

The next day, a grand premiere celebration was held at Lincoln Center. On the red carpet, director Christopher Nolan appeared with leading actors including Christian Bale and Morgan Freeman.

The appearance of Li Mu and Liu Yifei attracted the attention of foreign media. Needless to say, Li Mu is a famous director in Hollywood, and Liu Yifei has also appeared several times in Hollywood.

There are also several Hollywood movies waiting to be released.

Nolan and Bell hurriedly came to greet her: "Li, welcome! Crystal, you are much more beautiful again!"

"Thank you!" Liu Yifei replied with a smile.Although there are many stars tonight, everyone can't help but lament that Heath Ledger, who played the Joker in the film, has passed away and cannot attend.

The "Joker" in "The Dark Knight" is Heath Ledger's last role, and it is destined to be a classic.

Ledger once said: "In order to play the smiling killer, I locked myself in a room for six weeks."

When the film is shown, it turns out that every time the "Joker" appears, the audience's emotions will be manipulated once, because of the ghost that leaves no trace, and because of the fleeting life.

There is not much blood in "The Dark Knight", an action movie full of sin. Compared with the visual special effects of previous action movies, Nolan pays more attention to the shock to the soul, which is a deeper impact.

This is a superhero movie with real flesh and blood, and even the Joker overshadows Batman.

Before Nolan, no one thought that superheroes could be filmed like this.

"Ah Mu, this clown's acting is too exaggerated." When Liu Yifei saw the clown's first sentence in the movie and the only sentence in the bank robbery scene, she couldn't help but discuss it with Li Mu.

When the film ended, there was silence for more than ten seconds. Everyone stood up in unison and paid high respect to the film.

"Li, what is your evaluation of this movie?" When reporters were interviewing the creative team, a reporter from the New York Times did the opposite and asked Li Mu.

Audiences and film critics have turned their attention to Li Mu's position and are looking forward to how Li Mu will evaluate this movie.

Nolan and his creative team also look forward to it, especially Nolan. He is very satisfied with the movie, but how fellow directors evaluate it is of great significance to the movie.

Especially this is a director with a high international status.

"This will be the pinnacle of superhero movies." When Li Mu said this, the whole audience was in an uproar. Although everyone had this opinion, it was really rare for it to come from another great director. One can imagine how highly Li Mu admires and loves this movie.

"plum,."

"I'm just an audience member. It's better to ask Director Nolan back." Li Mu refused the subsequent interview. This is the home of "The Dark Knight", not his.

After the interview, Li Mu was preparing to leave with Liu Yifei.

"Li, thank you!" Nolan stepped forward and said to Li Mu very solemnly.

"No, your movie is indeed great. By the way, don't forget to come to China to attend the premiere of my movie." Li Mu waved goodbye to Nolan.

Li Mu's comments instantly swept the entire United States, but many people praised Li Mu.

The box office of "The Dark Knight" also proved this. It went completely crazy in North America. It took in 6700 million US dollars on Friday and 4800 million US dollars on Saturday. It broke 1.6 million US dollars in two days and almost broke [-] million US dollars in three days. Dollar.

It completely exploded the summer vacation in North America.

"It's unbelievable. This is really crazy." David called Li Mu. He had not seen such an outrageous scene for a long time.

"Boss, everyone says you have great vision." David also repeated the compliments that netizens had given Li Mu.

After all, what Li Mu said at the premiere has now been confirmed, with a Rotten Tomatoes index of 95% and an IMDB score of 9.6.

It all means that this movie will be engraved in film history, just like Li Mu's "The Pursuit of Happiness".

Domestic media also saw from the Internet that Li Mu and Liu Yifei attended the premiere of "The Dark Knight" and posted the reports on their own portals. Speculations about their relationship suddenly became a hot search topic. .

"I'm not hiding it anymore." Seeing this, people in the circle have already begun to make speculations.

The actress gritted her teeth.

"Senior Sister Liu Yifei is afraid it will be made public." Yuan Shanshan, who was still at Nortel, couldn't help but said after seeing it.

Zhang Xiaofei and Yuan Shanshan had a heated discussion, while Yang Mi was expressionless. She was now thinking about how to get Xuejian in "Sword and Sword 3". As for Liu Yifei, that was too far away.

Han Sanping was secretly glad that "The Dark Knight" could not pass the domestic review in China Film Academy, otherwise it would have introduced another box office beast.

Although "Red Cliff" has mixed success, it can't help but enjoy the box office. The box office hit a new high of 2700 million on the first day, and it is now starting to hit the 2 million box office.

Many organizations predict that "Red Cliff" has the opportunity to break the record of "Kung Fu Panda" and set a new domestic box office record.

Fortunately, it was divided into two parts. Han Sanping murmured to himself, otherwise it would be Wuji.

There are sunk costs for the audience to watch movies. Some people will watch the next episode after watching the previous episode. No matter how bad the movie is, they can still earn a lot of money at the box office.

The Southeast Asian copyright of "Red Cliff" was also sold, which can be regarded as repaying some blood in advance.

"How is Mengying's publicity going?" Han Sanping wandered around the office, thinking about it, and called his secretary to ask.

"We have been running advertisements non-stop. It is no worse than the previous "Red Cliff", and it seems that the audience's expectations are higher." The secretary reported the current situation truthfully.

"Let's also add some funds and give it a try." Han Sanwen was not surprised. Mengying Media is famous for producing high-quality movies, and the number of fans it has accumulated is terrifying.

And on the cover of "Invisible Guests", four clear characters come into view: Director Li Mu!

These four big characters are more convincing than anything else, just like Zhang Yimou's movie, with these five big characters, countless people will pay for it.

"Okay." The secretary nodded respectfully and went out to work.

When Shu Chang knew that Liu Yifei was back, Peipianpidian ran to Liu Yifei's villa and asked, "You are back. Is the movie good?"

Now it’s going viral abroad, with US$7 million swept across North America in seven days, which is more than a money grab.

"Give me a massage and I'll tell you." Liu Yifei pointed to her shoulders and said with a smile.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, please press it for you." Shu Chang pretended to come behind Liu Yifei and pressed it hard.

"Oh, it hurts, help me!" Liu Yifei screamed.

The two of them were fussing on the sofa for a while, and Shu Chang continued: "You don't even know that the news about you and Li Mu has spread all over the gossip network recently."

The two of them went to the premiere so brazenly, how could they not be noticed?

"Just pass it on." Liu Yifei said nonchalantly, she was eager to do so.

"When are you going to make the official announcement? I'm so anxious."

"The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes.

Shu Chang stared at Liu Yifei with a wicked smile, "Do you dare to say you are not in a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry!" Liu Yifei's face turned slightly red and she said harshly.
