Chapter 191 What a failure

No one in China is more concerned about "Your Name" than Lu Xun, because the two movies form a direct competition.

Seeing the huge fanfare at Li Mu's movie premiere, Lu Xun looked extremely unhappy.

The box office was originally hit by Jiang Wen and Li Mu and failed to reach the ideal state. Now that the momentum has been completely taken away by "Your Name", it is even harder to break through.

"Starting tomorrow, make more announcements."

Lu Xun has no choice. Now he can only take the actors to major cities day and night to promote, hoping to collect more box office.

"I heard that the Oscar-winning actress and Cheng Long both went to the platform." Gao Yuanyuan said softly to Qin Lan.

Qin Lan quickly interrupted: "Don't let Director Lu hear it."

"It's really enviable."

"."

At this time, in the Nortel Auditorium, a vast and colorful starry sky appeared in the movie.

This scene immediately made the audience exclaim.

"Special effects?"

"It's so beautiful. How did you do it?"

This scene is peaceful, pure, and so beautiful that it makes the audience feel suffocated. The narrations by Li Mu and Liu Yifei are as beautiful as wallpaper.

"This picture." Zhang Yimou felt the same kind of atmosphere, but it was completely different.

"The composition is OK." Brother Chen Kai secretly praised.

Just as everyone was immersed in it, a sudden whistling sound broke the tranquility. Soon the audience saw a meteorite falling rapidly towards the earth appearing in front of them and breaking into the atmosphere.

When it reappeared, the whole body of the meteorite turned a hot red, and the audience seemed to be able to feel its temperature even across the screen.

Film critics have written it down: beautiful, blockbuster, special effects, disaster.
"Director Li is willing to spend money."

"Indeed, this thing is so real, it feels great."

Soon it passed through the layers of clouds again, and when the scenery below became clearer and clearer, the picture suddenly changed. The whistling sound disappeared, and instead there was a crisp sound of birdsong, and the warmth of the light-transmitting windows. Warm sunshine.

Liu Yifei and Li Mu appeared on the screen, and the camera switched continuously, telling the audience that the story had begun.

The picture suddenly split into two parts at this point. The left half is the hut where Li Mu is, and the right half is the hut where Liu Yifei is. Two different styles of backgrounds, two different people, but they lowered their heads at the same time, looking at the slightly raised arm.

"The feeling that something is gone, lingers even after I wake up."

"From the day the comet streaked across the night sky, everything changed..."

"I've been looking for someone..."

Then the screen cut to the beautiful Milky Way again, with meteors streaking across the night sky in an instant.
The audience was whetted by this editing technique.

The next plot is that the male and female protagonists switch bodies. When Liu Yifei saw this, she immediately covered her face. She had no choice but to do it. This place was really embarrassing.

The audience was amused by Liu Yifei's series of masculine actions, and burst into laughter.

"Hmph, did you deliberately design this plot to see me make a fool of myself?" Liu Yifei muttered and whispered to Li Mu.

The whole audience is laughing now. After all, I have never seen Liu Yifei like this.

"Look, you're doing really well. You've made some progress."

Li Mu touched Liu Yifei's little head and had to say that Liu Yifei's acting skills in this movie have improved by leaps and bounds.

Compared with the audience who can only laugh, directors such as Zhang Yimou have gone much deeper. Situations like body swapping are not uncommon in movies, but being able to do so with new ideas is the real skill.

The performance of Liu Yifei as a female actor also made their eyes shine. Her acting skills have really improved. The most important thing here is the details.

Several big directors looked at it very carefully, and only in the details can one see whether the acting has improved or not.

Later, everyone was also attracted by the scenery of the Oriental Daughter Country in the movie. It was displayed extremely beautifully in the movie, and every frame seemed like a painting.

At this premiere, the person in charge of the Oriental Daughter Country Scenic Spot also came, and everyone in the audience looked excited.

"The filming is so beautiful!" Director Yang murmured to himself. Thinking that there would be a huge audience attracted by the movie to travel to the local area, he now wanted to go back and make arrangements.

The exchange of male and female protagonists caused a series of chaos in life. At this time, the two realized that they would time-travel into the other person, and the other person would also time-travel into themselves, two to three times a week, without warning.

But they have not yet realized that their souls travel not only through space (including bodies), but also through time.

The two set rules and schedules from their diaries, hoping that the body swap would not come to light. In the process of the exchange, the two gradually developed a different kind of feeling.
When the male protagonist whose body had been swapped made a date with the beautiful senior Ji who worked together for the next day, they did not swap bodies again the next day, but they did not know that the swap had disappeared since then.

The scene turned again. Sanye, who was combing her hair in the morning, thought, "They should be together now." She had just tied her hair with a knot, but suddenly she shed tears.

Then she decided to go to the Magic City. Sanye who came to the Magic City did not find the male protagonist three years later.

Seeing this, the audience realized that the male and female protagonists traveled not only through space, but also through time, and they were still separated by time.

Sacrificial ceremonial dances, ancient tribal civilizations, and the mysterious legends of the Eastern Sacred Mountains began to appear in front of everyone one by one.

Liu Yifei's unique dance really amazed everyone.

"Did you hear that? Everyone behind you praised you for your beauty and your good performance." Li Mu heard the discussion behind him and whispered to Liu Yifei.

"You did a great job, thank you Director Li."

Liu Yifei said with a smile that she was indeed very happy to see her performance recognized.

In the movie, news about comets appears repeatedly, as if telling the audience that a major turning point is about to occur.

In the video, the sky becomes dark, blue meteors streak across the sky, Sanye's eyes flicker, and fragments of meteors streak across...

Could it be a tragedy? The audience was a little confused at this time.

Brother Chen Kai's eyes were bright. Tragedy is good. Tragedy can move people. When he saw the comet and thought of the beginning, he knew what would happen.

Jiang Wen murmured to himself: "The hint is still too obvious. If it were me, it would be more subtle here."

Zhang Yimou glanced at Jiang Wen, as if he was thinking of "The Sun Also Rises" he watched in Venice the year before last, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Based on his memory, the male protagonist found the place where Sanye was, a town that was destroyed by the debris of the comet three years ago! ! !
Are you kidding? The male protagonist recalled every happy and beautiful memory in his mind after becoming a girl...

The male protagonist silently took out his mobile phone, and the diary written by Sanye on the mobile phone was disappearing.
This... the male protagonist fell into confusion and looked at his mobile phone (at this time, the diary written by Sanye was no longer in the mobile phone).
The male protagonist suddenly fell into confusion. Does the girl who exchanged souls with me... really exist... Her name is... What is her name...

"Beautiful! It's over now!" Jiang Wen couldn't help but whispered, and suddenly a bunch of spectators behind him looked at him angrily.Some viewers' eyes were filled with tears.

Jiang Wen also knew that he accidentally made a little louder, so he quickly restrained himself.

However, the story finally took a turn. The male protagonist had a red knot on his wrist. That knot was given as a gift three years ago...

This is a rope that can travel through time and space, a bridge that connects two people.

Traveling through time and space, he once again traveled to the heroine Sanye. He wanted to change this damn fate. The comet was coming tonight, and he was going to save this town and everyone!

The story reaches its climax.

The male protagonist controls the female protagonist's body and goes to Lugu Lake, where the sky and water are the same color, which is extremely beautiful.

The love story and the beautiful pictures echo each other and make people immersed in it.

After the heroine woke up, she found that she had switched bodies with the hero again. When she walked out of the cave, she found that her home had been destroyed by a comet.
The male protagonist is running on the edge of the meteorite lake. Because it is a crater smashed by meteorites, this meteorite lake looks like a huge basin. The male protagonist runs along the edge of the meteorite basin, calling for the heroine’s Name Mitsuba,

The heroine Sanye also started running and called the hero's name.

The two kept running, their voices traveled through time and space, letting each other hear each other, but they always only heard their voices but not their person.
When dusk came, at this moment, the two of them passed each other, looked back, and hugged each other.
The sky gradually darkened, and the male protagonist hurriedly suggested writing each other's names with a pen.
As a result, the male protagonist had just finished writing for the female protagonist and asked the female protagonist to write for him.
The pen fell down and the heroine disappeared!
The hero forgot everything!
The heroine and her friends began to think of ways to save the town. When she fell, she cried because she forgot the hero's name, and then recalled what the hero had said - the heroine's hand wrote: I like you.
As a result, the heroine burst into laughter, and then said sadly: "In the end, I still don't know your name."

"If Li Mu doesn't give him a reasonable ending, I'll kill him later."

Some viewers couldn't bear it any longer, so they gave us another show like this. Why, my tears are not worth anything.

Fortunately, everyone in the town was saved, because the heroine's father was the mayor after all. In the end, he was persuaded by his daughter and forced everyone to evacuate.

After the male protagonist woke up, he found himself in the ruins of the ancient town. He had no memory of what he was going to do, but he seemed to have someone he couldn't forget.
"What a failure." Jiang Wen couldn't help but shake his head after reading it.

The camera turned and the time came a few years later. The male protagonist became a quasi-social person who had just graduated from college. He was interviewing in every company and seemed to have forgotten everything that happened in the previous few years.

Walking on the road, he saw a girl's figure, but he only noticed that her hair was tied with a red rope and hurried past.

In the subway, he actually saw the girl in the subway opposite and looked at each other. There was no memory in his mind, but there seemed to be an instinct in his soul.

After getting off the subway station, he rushed towards that station. On the ramp, the girl was standing at the other end.

Have we seen it somewhere, they all think so.

"Wait a minute... I seem to have met you before..."

"Me too……"

The girl burst into tears for some reason.

The movie then came to an abrupt end, the end credits slowly popped up, and some viewers were still sitting in their seats.

Even Liu Yifei, her own heroine, couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes at this time.

"So what happened to the hero and heroine in the end? Is it a happy ending?"

"I can still accept this ending! Wow."

"In the end, the hero and heroine didn't even have a kiss, and I actually burst into tears."

"Why, the story isn't exciting enough, where's the applause?" Li Mu picked up the microphone next to him and asked with a smile.

"Damn it Li Mu, just shoot a sweeter story." Some viewers muttered, but the applause was warm.

Thunderous shouts and applause followed.

"Crystal, can you tell me where you filmed the movie? I want to see it." Charlize Theron was extremely interested in the filming locations in the film. The scenery was so beautiful.

"I'll send you the address later." Liu Yifei smiled and hugged her.

"It was really good."

"Thank you!"

"Director Li, it's a wonderful movie. It was shot so innocently that I almost cried." Cheng Long praised it vigorously.

"What, does it remind you of your first love, Brother Long?"

Li Mu joked with a smile. Then he saw Jiang Wen still muttering there and couldn't help but be a little curious. He seemed to have heard the word "beautiful" just now.
"Director Jiang, what, what's wrong with my movie?"

"You can't do these nonsense just to cater to the audience. Art should be tragic." Jiang Wen still felt regretful. In his opinion, the end of the road has continued, and this tragedy should be allowed to continue.

Li Mu felt speechless, Jiang Wen fell into himself again.

When they walked to Lao Mouzi, they patted each other on the shoulders.

"Your movie touched me a bit." Zhang Yimou said bluntly. He liked the story of pure love in it very much.

"That's a good thing. Senior brother likes it and makes one. I think "Hawthorn Tree Love" is very good."

"I also read that book, it's really good."

Zhang Yimou nodded, but unfortunately he has to be busy with his new movie recently.

Next came the interview session with reporters, and Li Mu took the stage with the main creators.

"Let me make an advertisement first." Li Mu smiled and picked up the phone, "Do you mind?"

Without waiting for the audience to reply, he continued: "Of course it's useless to mind!"

Instantly there was a burst of laughter and curses.

"Everyone has watched the movie. Is the scenery good?"

"nice!"

"The filming location was in the Oriental Daughter Country, where there is a unique Naxi heaven-sacrifice ceremony, including Goddess Gemu Mountain, Lover's Beach, Zhebo Sakya Temple and the "Pearl of the Plateau" Lugu Lake. You are welcome to travel."

Li Mu's words immediately moved Director Yang, the person in charge of the scenic spot below.

This time it was stable. Director Yang quickly picked up his mobile phone and reported to his superiors at the Tourism Bureau. This time he came to watch the premiere and received official support.

After all, this is a great thing for the promotion of scenic spots. This is the best advertisement.

The audience also remembered this name, and the scenery inside was refreshing.

The reporters couldn’t wait any longer. They had read the story and had too many questions to ask.
