Chapter 190 Premiere
"Life and drama, truth and performance are the first state stage. You need to completely cover up your true feelings in life and vent your emotions in the "pure role" in drama."

Li Mu explained to Duan Yihong the breaking point of the upcoming plot. The state of this stage was shaken, causing destruction in the dramatic space inside the car.

Ning Hao watched Li Mu directing from the side, secretly amazed.

From the director's perspective, he clearly felt that Li Mu's film used drama to form a combination of narrative and symbolic levels.

In his spare time, Li Mu looked at the leisurely and contented Ning Hao and was very puzzled: "Does the sister know what you are here for?"

Can Xing Aina let Ning Hao go and take care of the baby at home alone?
Li Mu expressed doubts.

"I told her that you're too busy here, so I'll come over and lend a hand and I'll be back in a few days."

Ning Hao didn't care. Anyway, this day was too sad and he had to take a rest.

With a wife and a newborn child, who can understand the pain of a middle-aged man like him?

Li Mu glanced at Ning Hao, good guy, you are using me as a shield, but your reason seems a bit lame. It might be possible to bluff the little girl, but can you bluff Xing Aina, who has been in the world for many years?
After thinking about it, Liu Yifei seemed to have said something to him last night. Li Mu said uncertainly: "It seems that Sissi told me that the sister came to see her yesterday."

Ning Hao's body suddenly shook, "What did you say?"

"Ask yourself." Li Mu waved his hand. There were so many things, how could he remember them so clearly.

Ning Hao immediately ran over and asked Liu Yifei in a hurry.

As night fell, the seaside wind blew gently, and the crew members packed their things. Today's work was successfully completed.

"Where is Ning Hao?" Li Mu looked around and saw no one. It seemed that he suddenly disappeared. No one was seen all afternoon.

"I'm going back!" Liu Yifei covered her mouth lightly and smiled, "I'll probably get beaten when I go back."

Liu Yifei repeated the original words in Xing Aina's tone, arched her crescent eyebrows, and kept laughing.

Li Mu knew that this guy's reason was not reliable at all.

"By the way, the crew will probably be shut down for a few days."

Li Mu remembered the time. In a few days, "Your Name" will have its premiere.

As the male and female protagonists, Li Mu and Liu Yifei will definitely have to go back for a few days. Fortunately, this is a literary and artistic film. If it were to be a commercial film, they would probably lose a lot of money.

"It has been arranged."

Zhou Xun has returned from the Imperial Film Festival and took a few days off.

"Have you got the movie queen?"

Li Mu looks at her like this, coupled with the competitiveness of this year's "Li Mi's Conjecture", the best actress should be stable.

Although Li Mu was busy filming Duan Yihong's scene while Zhou Xun was away, Li Mu didn't read a word of the news about the film festival, but it was still easy to guess the prize.

At least the other actresses in this class are not competitive.

"Hehe, it's a sure thing."

Zhou Xun smiled, although this award is not big, but having one more Best Actress will bring more honor.

"Sissi, do you know that even though your director Li is not present, he is still the center of attention."

Zhou Xun turned around and started talking to Liu Yifei.

When Liu Yifei heard this, she immediately looked interested.

Duan Yihong and others were also curious and came forward to listen.

"There was a special topic this year, "Hollywood and Chinese Films in 60 Years." The leaders took out Director Li and Director Li's "Kung Fu Panda" as a typical case. They talked for more than half an hour. The following directors listened. He is quite serious and takes notes from time to time.”

After listening to it, Li Mu roughly knew what it was about. Nowadays, Hollywood still has too much influence on domestic movies, and everyone wants to chase after it.

The road to film industrialization in China still takes time. These days, we are destined to be bullied.

"Hurry up, you've lost a lot of time in this scene, make up for the progress." Li Mu didn't have time to take care of so much, the movie at hand was more important.

"Got it!"

During the filming period, Dream Capital's contact with Facebook had already been effective. After Dream Capital settled in, it had to give all voting rights to Zuckerberg. This was a huge attraction for Zuckerberg.

After all, every founder is worried about whether he will be kicked out one day in the future.

This year Mengying Capital has another thing to do. Zha Lang’s Weibo plan is already quietly underway.

Li Mu knows that this product will be tested internally in August.

Twitter also failed to enter China due to regulatory issues. As a Twitter imitator and substitute, there were already attempts in China in 07.

Representatives are Fanfou, Jiwai, Digu, Dosha, and Tencent Taotao.
In about two years, independent Weibo products headed by Fanfou have been wandering between freedom and control, facing resource and time constraints, and experiencing various difficulties.

In the second half of this year, with the emergence of Weibo, the industry will begin a major reshuffle.

However, one difficult thing about Zhalang's Weibo is that it does not lack funds in the initial stage, but it lacks users.

Li Mu had no choice but to ask the person in charge to use the successful investment cases of Dream Capital to see if he could bluff Cao Guowei, and then use the resources of Mengying and Crystal, especially the entry of artists, to try to impress Zhalang.

This is destined to be the least profitable investment case among Dream Capital, but the influence of Weibo will be needed by Mengying and Li Mu for some time to come.

Time slowly passed to the end of April. Lu Xun's new movie was released two days earlier than "Your Name", and the premiere was held as usual, scheduled in the Imperial Capital.

Lu Xun burst into tears at the premiere and threatened that he would not be Chinese if he didn't watch it. This idiot started to have other ideas again, hoping to use the audience's emotions to heat up the movie.

Some people were really fooled into it, and some viewers couldn't understand similar metaphors at first, so they could only be led by the misleading articles of some foreign media.

But doubts and curses also followed.

Lu Xun responded: The Japanese perspective "is needed for creative skills."

For the sake of box office, this guy is no longer afraid. He led the team to Jinling and prepared to hold another local premiere.

The premiere of "Your Name" will be the day after tomorrow, and Li Mu is ready to finish his work for the day, pack up, and prepare to return to the imperial capital.

Zhou Xun and Duan Yihong also attended the premiere with Li Mu. In Zhou Xun's words, there is nothing to do here, so why not go see a new movie.

"Mr. Li, Director Han can't make it to the premiere." Returning to Mengying, Liu Weijuan was the first to say.

"Oh, I see."

Regarding this matter, Han Sanping had called specifically two days ago. "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is still in the intense filming stage, and China Film will send a vice president to attend.

The publicity for "Your Name" has been sufficient. This fantasy love movie is no worse than the publicity of some blockbusters, or even worse.

Entering 09, the growth in the box office is already visible to the naked eye. Audiences gradually have extra money in their pockets and can go to the cinema to watch more movies.

The number of domestic screens is also growing rapidly.

Mengying is now also a theater chain, and 3Dimax is also accelerating the purchase of equipment. This is a huge cake, but it is too expensive. Not many theater chains are willing to invest heavily in the tens of millions of IMAX, and they are just trying it. There are a lot more 3D theaters. After all, the cost is much lower and theater chains can afford it.

"2012" and "Avatar", two movies with a combined production cost of more than 5 million US dollars, have indeed given some theater chains the confidence to increase the construction of 3D theaters.

"Sissi, you look very excited, so what?" Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei looking at the "Your Name" poster, giggling from time to time, very puzzled.

"You don't understand." Liu Yifei said with a smile, and then stood next to Liu Xiaoli, who was watching "Latent", "Mom, let's go to the premiere together tomorrow."

Liu Xiaoli glanced at Liu Yifei: "Why am I joining in the fun?"

Liu Yifei dragged Liu Xiaoli's left hand and said coquettishly: "Oh, Mom, you can just go. I don't need you to walk on the red carpet."

"Okay, okay, I'll go, don't make such a weird sound." Liu Xiaoli hurriedly surrendered.

"Hehe, then it's settled happily." Liu Yifei stood up happily, put on her slippers, and walked back to the room.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but look at Shu Chang suspiciously, her eyes seeming to ask, do you know what is going on?

Shu Chang shook her head, she really couldn't understand it now.

The next day, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang dressed up, while Liu Xiaoli was more casual. After all, she was not a starring role.

"How about singing? Does it look good?" Liu Yifei asked in front of the mirror.

"Tsk, your ethnic style embroidery is a bit unique."

Shu Chang took a look at Liu Yifei's outfit today. It was a dress-style long skirt with a pure white hem. The upper body was embellished with ethnic-style embroidery, and the sleeves were made of chiffon-textured tulle, which made Liu Yifei look particularly tranquil. , there is a sense of agility.

"I specially chose it. This is Naxi style embroidery."

"Okay, let's go, it must be fascinating."

Shu Chang nodded. Liu Yifei chose really well this time, and her makeup was just right. It was the same style as hers in the movie.

Liu Yifei was very happy. She knew that Europe's top luxury brands wanted to prepare custom-made dresses for her to attend the premiere, but she rejected them because she chose this dress for herself.

The premiere was held at Nortel, a location specifically chosen by Liu Yifei.

In April in the imperial capital, on the campus of Nortel, the green willows are blowing smoke, the flowers are blooming on the streets, and the gentle breeze is passing by, enchanting the eyebrows and sweetening the heart.

"This is our second movie premiere." Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu with beautiful eyes, still reminiscing.

It has been 6 years since the first one.

"Let's go, there will be many more departments in the future." Li Mu smiled, the future is still long.

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly: "Then I will remember it."

A 20-meter red carpet has been laid out for the premiere of "Your Name", and the railings on both sides are already filled with reporters and fans watching the premiere.

"I still like Mengying Media's premiere. There are so many celebrities here." Reporters on the side were filming frantically and kept sighing.

"Zhou Xun, Duan Yihong is here, hurry up and take pictures."

"Aren't they filming Li Mu's new movie?"

"You're stupid. Li Mu is coming to the premiere. Do you think the crew won't stop working for a few days?"

"."

Ning Hao and Xing Ai also hurriedly walked across the red carpet, and the photographers nearby quickly took pictures.

"Okay, stop nagging."

Xing Aina kept listening to Ning Hao's nagging, and she hadn't stopped since watching Lu Xun's new movie.

"Am I nagging? This is so bullying. Should honest people be bullied?"

Xing Aina looked at Ning Hao speechlessly, "Have you done too many crazy series? You still have a sense of humor when you talk."

Li Mu and Liu Yifei, together with their creative team, officially stepped onto the red carpet and immediately became a new sight.

"Director Li, Yifei, look here."

"Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin."

The creative team walked on the red carpet and gave photographers enough time to take pictures. Liu Yifei smiled brightly, waved her little hands, and greeted her fans.

The sound is getting louder and louder.

Li Mu also led the creative team to greet guests.

"Brother, when will the filming of your movie start?" Li Mu couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhang Yimou coming.

"It will be shot in May. I'll watch your movie first." Zhang Yimou smiled.

Big domestic directors such as Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen also came to support the show.

When Jiang Wen was talking to Li Mu, he also scolded Lu Xun again because he had been restless recently.

"I hope your movie will crush him."

"."

But the most unexpected thing is that Charlize Theron and Cheng Long actually came to the premiere together. The reporters on both sides of the red carpet felt pain when pressing the shutter button. They were stunned. This is not a movie premiere. The style is so simple, this is simply a red carpet show at a film festival.

Actors and directors gathered together, and the Oscar-winning actress and Cheng Long came to help.

Looking at the photos in the camera, there are popular newcomers, popular stars who are in their prime, old and solid actors, Hollywood blockbuster stars, covering almost all types of actors in the entertainment industry.

"Did you invite me?" Li Mu was a little surprised. Liu Yifei was arranging the premiere and he didn't have much involvement.

"Yes, Theron has nothing to do this year, so I invited her to come with us. Brother Cheng Long took the initiative to come."

Liu Yifei said with a smile, and then hurriedly came over and had an intimate conversation with Theron. The reporters hurriedly pressed the shutter again.

"Director Li, you're not funny, I asked Yifei to get the invitation to the premiere." Cheng Long hugged Li Mu and teased.

"Isn't this because you are busy? It's not a big deal." Li Mu actually didn't pay much attention to the premiere, so this thing was just the icing on the cake.

This gathering of Cheng Long and Theron made Li Mu feel a bit like a preview of the premiere of "2012", with several leading actors gathered together.

The flashbulbs of the media almost turned the dim night sky into daylight, and the fans also tried their best and shouted at the top of their lungs.

Soon, all the media reporters and audiences came in. The auditorium, which could accommodate a thousand people, was full, and there was no empty seat. There were only 10 minutes left before the movie was released.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei, along with the main creators, spoke on the stage for a few minutes and told some interesting stories. The whole auditorium was filled with applause and laughter.

Amid cheers, the lights were turned off one by one, and the movie started.
