Chapter 179: If you change it, it will be a literary film
In September, this year's Oscar submissions will begin again, with "Assembly", "Mei Lanfang", and "Nanjing!"Nanjing! Filmmakers of popular films such as "The Movie" have voluntarily withdrawn from the competition for various reasons.

Netizens complained for a while.

"It has to be Li Mu. He comes in when he is told. You shout first and fart without making any sound in the end."

"I'm used to it. I have to lose my chain at critical moments every year!"

The film crew was also very helpless. Do you think we thought it was because there were too many force majeure forces?

The saddest thing is Brother Chen Kai. This "Mei Lanfang" is really full of twists and turns. Now he is ready to set his sights on Berlin early next year. He hopes to win a golden bear and prove it with another top award from the three major film festivals. I am not limited to filming "Farewell My Concubine".

So much so that the outside world has high expectations for "Mei Lanfang". This movie is an area that Chen Kaige is familiar with.

"Ah Mu, let's watch "Li Mi's Conjecture", shall we?" Liu Yifei suddenly suggested.

"Why do you suddenly want to watch this movie?"

"I heard others say that Zhou Xun transformed in this movie, and I want to learn from it."

"Sissi, you have transformed and are now an excellent producer." Li Mu said with a smile.

"Take me there!" Liu Yifei dragged Li Mu's hand and shook it.

"Go, go, go!"

Li Mu felt that this little girl was getting better and better at acting like a coquettish girl.

"Then I'll go get ready." Liu Yifei jumped to her dressing room to pick out clothes.

Li Mu felt that it was all in vain. After all, if you wear a three-piece suit, no one but himself would be able to recognize who you are in the cinema and whether you look good in it or not.

In the film, Zhou Xun has become the incarnation of Li Mi, and his acting skills are indeed good. The three scenes of his reaction to being kidnapped by Wang Baoqiang, roaring to Zhang Hanyu and complaining that he let his boyfriend go, and crying and chasing Deng Chao while reciting 54 letters are quite exciting. of.

Liu Yifei repeatedly lamented Zhou Xun's acting skills.

Li Mu felt a little bored, not because of Zhou Xun, but because Huayi's movies were always played by these people. The circle was too small and there were serious barriers between them.

Anyway, Huayi's movie hasn't even aired yet, and Li Mu has already roughly guessed which ones will be in it.

However, the role of Zhou Xun is indeed outstanding, and it can also add a lot of popularity to Xiao Wei in the painting.

"Li Mi's Conjecture" was attacked by foreign blockbusters such as "The Mummy 3" and "Water and Twist" and broke through. The national box office in the first three days of the weekend was 800 million. This result exceeded the expectations of many people in the industry.

Li Lienjie's The Dragon Emperor, on the other hand, was criticized in China. The director took great pains to move the story background to China and filmed it on location in China. However, the Chinese elements in the movie still seemed "off".

The title Dragon Emperor only shows that he has a noble status and is an emperor. It does not mean that he can really transform into a dragon. What's more, there is still a dragon with three heads. This is exactly the lizard dragon of the West, which is very different from the dragon of China. Far.

So netizens picked up "Kung Fu Panda" again for comparison.

""Kung Fu Panda" made me feel very friendly. Whether it was Master Shifu playing the flute under the tree or Master Oogway ascending to immortality, it all had a Chinese flavor. "The Mummy 3" also had many Chinese elements, but it felt wrong. No matter how you watch it, it’s awkward. Let’s continue to look forward to “Kung Fu Panda 2”, Li Mu’s movie has the strongest Chinese flavor!”

"I like "Kung Fu Panda", but the production cycle is too long. It will take at least the year after next to see it. There will be no chance of it next year!"

"Don't say anything, Mengying has another movie coming, just in time to watch it during the National Day, this time it's a pure Chinese flavor!"

"It's a pity that it wasn't taken by Li Mu."

""Twilight" was not produced by Li Mu, he is just a producer, which does not prevent its global box office from exceeding US$4 million. The film produced by Mengying Media is worthy of trust, not to mention the addition of Li Mu's name!"

The National Day holiday is coming soon, and everyone inside and outside the industry is staring at this oriental fantasy film produced by Li Mu.

This movie has always been popular since the beginning, and the story is based on the Chinese Liaozhai, full of mystery.

"Let's go to the premiere of "Painted Skin" together," Li Mu suggested.

"Well, I'll go cheer for Sing Sing!" Liu Yifei agreed without hesitation, "Let's listen to the theme song of Liangying."

Mengying Media, in Li Mu's office, Lu Yang and Wu Ershan were still listening to Li Mu's arrangements for the premiere.

"You bring the main creators into the premiere, and the stage will be handed over to you." Li Mu patted the two of them on the shoulders. If he appeared together, then Lu Yang and Lu Yang would have nothing to do. These appearances should be left to them. New director.

"Don't worry, Director Li!"

"carry on."

He basically doesn't need to worry about the premiere of "Painted Skin".

The "2012" 3D technology college lecture route has also come out. You have to go to Magic City, Imperial City, and Yangcheng. Li Mu called back two technicians from Industrial Light and Magic to accompany him.

The beautiful country has been promoting the end of the world, and coupled with this year's financial crisis, the effect is even better. With some help, people are convinced of this when they have no money, and it spreads widely on Twitter.

Everyone has an invisible expectation for "2012", a movie about the end of the world.

There is another film on the National Day schedule of "Painted Skin" that wants to compete. Hong Kong action film director Chen Musheng's "Hold the Call" is adapted from the Hollywood film "A Silver Lining".

His first two works, "New Police Story" and "Baby Project," both achieved impressive box office results during the Mainland China's National Day prime time period.

This time I didn't specifically avoid "Painted Skin", thinking I would have enough confidence.

The premiere ceremony was held at Nortel, a location specially arranged by Mengying.

Two giant posters of "Painted Skin" stood on both sides, and reporters gathered around the red carpet, which was packed.

There were many reporters and fans, and the stars felt as if they were at an award ceremony at a film festival.

"Director Lu, Mengying Media did a great job with the premiere. It was so grand." Zhou Xun chuckled, looking dazzling in a black dress.

Zuo Xiaoqing wore a white dress, which was in perfect contrast with Zhou Xun's black dress. It seemed that the two parties had discussed it.

"It's all the big guys giving face." In fact, the design of Mengying's premiere is similar, but there are so many people who can't bear to come and the seats are large, so reporters naturally gather here, which makes it feel like the grand ceremony is particularly attracting attention. .

Li Mu had been at the venue a long time ago to avoid stealing their limelight and save some trouble.

He took Liu Yifei and sat in the first row.

"It's not okay, I'm sitting here?" Liu Yifei looked around and felt something was wrong.

"Sit back and relax, no one dares to say anything."

This movie is all made by Mengying, so what’s wrong with my girlfriend taking the main seat?

As expected, the big guys who came had no objection to where Liu Yifei was sitting, and one or two of them stepped forward to say hello.

Han Sanping sat directly next to Li Mu without being polite. "Director Han, we have arranged a good seat for you, sit on the main creative side." Li Mu motioned to the empty seats next door.

"Come on, it's comfortable to sit here. What do you think of the box office of "Painted Skin"?" Han Sanping refused to leave. The position was the same anyway, and discussing movies with Li Mu was the big deal.

Li Mu looked at Han Sanjing and was speechless. How can I have a romantic relationship with my girlfriend while you are here? I really don't know how to do it.

"Director Han, don't be impatient. You will know after reading it." Li Mu said angrily.

Han Sanping kept talking, so Li Mu had to deal with him.

Fortunately, Lu Yang and others came in soon.

"This white bubble dress looks pretty good." Liu Yifei turned to look at the creative team and said to Li Mu.

"You'd better look better." Li Mu said softly.

"Disgusting!" Liu Yifei patted Li Mu coquettishly, the smile on her face and the words on her lips were always so inconsistent.

The party invited a magic performance team to use magic to interpret the two classic scenes of skin peeling and heart-breaking in the movie, allowing the audience to experience the magical color of the new "Painted Skin" in an "alternative" way before watching the movie.

"This premiere of yours is quite unique." Han Sanping looked at the magic show and found it interesting.

"Director Han, you must learn to innovate!"

Han Sanping glanced at Li Mu, is this the secret to the success of your movie?

This seems to be correct. Li Mu's movies have always been on the road ahead, but then a group of people followed suit.

Zhang Liangying also went on stage to perform a gorgeous dolphin sound, which made everyone present exclaimed that it was worth it. For those who watched the performance and listened to the song, the premiere was great.

Then the movie officially begins.

The lonely smoke in the desert and the sun setting over the long river are vivid and vivid from the beginning.

Jiao Enjun's appearance and his figure under the armor made the audience call him handsome!
Xiao Wei's love at first sight seems to be excusable.

A complicated battle of temptation, resistance, love and hatred, and life and death between humans and monsters, between human relations, between innocent men and women, between brothers, and between demons slowly unfolded under a seemingly stable appearance.
Xiao Wei's fox has won the love of many men and women. It is a character that no one can hate.

The concealment of the passionate scenes made everyone take a breath of cold air. It's not a sex scene that's better than a sex scene.

Li Mu personally changed this scene. Don't think that it was shot on bed and called a sex scene. Li Mu doesn't need these as selling points, the artistic conception is the opposite.

"You know what the audience wants to see." Han Sanping communicated with Li Mu from time to time.

Li Mu smiled, not that I understand, but this is human instinct.

The special effects in this movie are much more exciting than those in the previous life.

The audience is immersed in this magical world, and your love, hate, and hatred make them fall into infinite entanglements.

Zuo Xiaoqing plays the dignified Pei Rong, which is loved by everyone.

The audience couldn't let go of this "Nine Heavens Beautiful Fox", even the audience couldn't choose between them, let alone Wang Sheng.

"You have avoided the central idea of ​​the "Fool" story in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"." Han San commented with emotion, this movie was really well shot, and that's why it is worth watching.

The old man Pu Songling in Liaozhai finally said: "What a fool the world is! It is clear that it is a monster and it thinks it is beautiful. It is a fool! It is a fool who is obviously loyal and it thinks it is a sycophant."

The new version of the movie "Painted Skin" obviously intentionally avoids this "central idea" and prefers to focus on the practical significance: the struggle between the "mistress" and the main wife.

Fortunately, in "Painted Skin", we see an intermediate state between the naturally gifted Bai Suzhen and the uncivilized spider spirit, and see how a monster learns to love.

"Actually, this movie can become a literary film with a few changes." Li Mu said lightly.

Liu Yifei and Han Sanping both cast doubtful glances on how it could be turned into an art film.

"Let Xiao Wei fall in love with Pei Rong!"

Liu Yifei was stunned after hearing this.

Han Sanping was slightly thoughtful: "You have a lot of insight into human nature, and you have a lot to do."

After watching the movie, the creative team once again stepped onto the stage to the warm applause of the audience. As a producer, Li Mu also had to go up.

The microphone was given to Li Mu first.

"Is this movie good?"

"It looks great!" The unanimous response from the audience told everyone the answer to the movie's final box office.

"In fact, it is difficult to paint bones to paint ghosts. This bone is the word love, which is the most difficult to understand. Whether this story presents to us is a tragedy or a comedy, everyone has a different understanding. When you think about it, I think this movie is already a success, thank you for your support!”

Li Mu's simple speech made many film critics take notes. This is the No. 1 speech at the box office, and it is the key point. The popularity of the report depends on him.

On the stage, the director and creative actors answered the reporters' questions one by one, and the audience listened with great joy.

"How did you film this passionate scene? It feels completely different from the recent movies." The reporters were very interested in the sex scene, and Xin asked for details.

"The director took it!" Zhou Xun smiled and pushed it to Lu Yang.

"This scene was designed by Director Li!" Lu Yang said for a while and then threw it to Li Mu.

Everyone's eyes were focused on it, "Director Li, nowadays movies are full of sex scenes, but "Painted Skin" shows us a different feeling. How did you design this scene?"

A series of questions were thrown to Li Mu.

Li Mu coughed lightly, and the venue instantly became quiet.

"I know that we people have long since passed the era of "Looking Homeward". Even if you trick a sex scene lover into a theater and end up seeing two minutes of his back in two hours, it is simply a double physical and psychological devastation! "

Li Mu's words caused everyone to nod, and now this unhealthy trend is getting worse.

"Based on the traditional Chinese culture, the sex scene in our movie focuses on the willow branches above the moon. We meet at dusk. It was rainy and windy last night. I wanted to say no, but I said it was a cool autumn day."

"Oh my god, Director Li is so understanding! He is a man's best friend!" the audience behind him exclaimed.

This passionate scene, as you said, was so elegant, and the artistic conception came up instantly. I felt that what I was watching was not the selling point of the sex scene, but art.

Zhou Xun and Zuo Xiaoqing were both confused. Was the photo I took so artistic?
Liu Yifei's admiring eyes immediately turned to Li Mu.

Journalists and film critics are busy recording that these are all highlights and gimmicks.
