Chapter 199 "2012" Exclusive Day
Without any obstacles, Li Mu and Liu Yifei graduated successfully, and there was no doubt that they were outstanding graduates of that year, and their names were naturally included in the list of outstanding alumni.

In fact, what Li Mu didn't know was that his paper on 3D technology had already been copied by his superiors and used for research on the development of domestic film technology.

"Your Name" has already earned 43 billion yen in box office in Japan, successfully surpassing "Hero" and becoming the Chinese director with the highest box office in Japan.

It is also going to be released in South Korea. This country's potential is much smaller than Japan's. The box office is only expected to be more than 2000 million US dollars, so it is probably over.

After returning home, Liu Yifei immediately changed into a set of casual home clothes, hugged a notebook, and started clicking crazily.

"Work?"

"No, I wanted to see if the author on Douban has updated it. I found a very interesting novel a few days ago." Liu Yifei picked up a washed apple on the table and took a small bite.

"Sure enough, it's updated, hehe!" Liu Yifei smiled, looked at the computer screen, and said nothing at first.

After a while, he put down his laptop and said, "It's so interesting, but there are too few updates and it's not finished yet."

"I'll take a look."

Li Mu walked over, leaned behind Liu Yifei, rested his chin on her shoulder, crossed his arms, and seemed to accidentally touch Liu Yifei's ear with his breath.

"itch!"

Li Mu smiled, shifted his position slightly, and stared at the screen. When he saw the title of the novel, Li Mu's eyes lit up.

This novel has been serialized since the beginning of May. It is a diary-style novel. It has only been serialized to about twenty chapters. According to the author, the novel will have 5 chapters and is not far from completion.

"You also commented?" Li Mu also looked at the comments from netizens below with great interest, and Liu Yifei's encouragement was evident: The writing is great, come on, author!
"We are all afraid that she will suddenly stop updating and stop writing. We must encourage the author. Not only me, but you can see that all the book friends below have given support."

"Indeed, it can be seen that she wrote it casually."

Li Mu already knows who wrote it. The writing style is not bad, but the writing is very pretentious. You can tell it is a female author at a glance, but girls will especially like this story. Judging from the comments below, female readers basically Occupying more than 90%.

"Can you contact her?"

"Okay, we still have a group. Do you want to adapt this novel?" Liu Yifei said excitedly.

"If you have this intention, you can use Mengying Media to contact her and see if you can meet her when you have time."

Liu Yifei was very happy: "That's great, she will definitely not stop updating."

Li Mu touched Liu Yifei's little head.

Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns Surprise" built a "Pockmarked Noodle House" in a desert in Ganzhou, where all the resentments and hatreds unfolded, a bit like the "Tongfu Inn" in "Wulin Gaiden".

Recently, the crew has moved back to BJ for filming. After a few days of visiting the crew, reporters found that with Shang Jing, Yan Ni and other "laughing to death" masters, "Three Guns" seems to be more like the Hollywood version of "Wulin Gaiden" .

Li Mu also planned to visit the class, but after seeing that the movie was still more than 6 hours long after he had rough cut it, he decided to just stay at his desk and continue editing.

At the end of June, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" and Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" are about to start filming.

The former did not say anything harsh about the box office, but criticized the movie market for being a shoddy project. He will shoot this movie with all his heart.

The latter bluntly stated that the box office will exceed 5 million, and Feng Xiaogang is full of confidence.

The only blockbuster film left at the end of June is "Transformers 6: Rise of the Storm."

Paramount Pictures' big-budget action special effects film grossed $6060 million at the U.S. box office on its first day of release, setting a new first-day box office record for a movie released on Wednesday, ranking second in history behind "The Dark Knight." .

Megan Fox, who enjoys high popularity around the world with the movie "Transformers", has recently been spotted by the producer of another popular Hollywood movie series "Tomb Raider".

"Tomb Raider 3" replaced the heroine "King Kong Girl" Megan Fox and kicked out Angelina Jolie. This news spread all over Hollywood.

Angelina Jolie directly fired: "I don't think she has acting skills!"

The two got into a heated argument on Twitter.

This has also allowed many female stars to see the power of Hollywood blockbusters, and they are deeply wary of Liu Yifei's appearance in the upcoming "2012".

Once the movie is successful, the qualitative gap between everyone will widen, like a chasm.

Zhang Ziyi is naturally the most fearful person, because Liu Yifei's existence has seriously threatened her status in China and Hollywood, but she is powerless. Her fiancé has not responded yet.

"Transformers 2" will also be released in China the day after tomorrow.

Han Sanping is much calmer now. Although Hollywood blockbusters are coming fiercely, they cannot surpass "Your Name" released this year.

At least not "Transformers 2".

However, the film did attract money, with a box office of 3371 million on the first day, setting a single-day box office record for imported films. More than 50 screenings are still scheduled in 2100 theaters in the imperial capital, which is 5 to 10 times the number of other films.

This also resulted in no room for other movies to survive.

"Terminator 2018" barely exceeded 2 million at the box office before "Transformers 2009" was released, becoming the second imported film in [-] to achieve a box office of over [-] million.

At the end of June, Tian Xiaopeng officially joined Mengying Media, and the "Your Name" comic adaptation project was approved.

This news was also synchronized on the official website, attracting a lot of people to discuss and watch.

"Director Li has never taken an unusual path. This is the first time I've heard of a live-action movie adapted from a comic book."

"Liu Yifei and Li Mu in the animation? Think about it, I'm still looking forward to it!"

"Director Li just wants everyone to eat dog food for the second time. Damn it, I still want to eat it. I'm being a bitch!"

"."

People in the industry also have mixed comments on this, and this matter has not been tried in China.

Although "Your Name" has a strong fan base in China and Japan, whether the comic adaptation can be successful is another matter.

There are many who support it, some who throw cold water on it, and even more who watch quietly.

"This guy is a bit fancy, but it does seem feasible!" Jiang Wen heard the news on the set, thought about the plot of the movie, and couldn't help but muttered.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others were also slightly stunned after seeing the news, and then thought deeply.

The time has arrived in July, and the scorching heat has not affected the summer vacation war at all, which is about to break out.

The most anticipated one is naturally the sci-fi disaster blockbuster "2012" at the end of the month.

Several trailers have been released one after another for promotion. Even if it is only a 2D picture, the overwhelming tsunami is still full of shock.

These one-minute promotional videos have made audiences around the world full of expectations for the movie.

Domestic audiences are discussing the end of the world in 2012.

A wave of doomsday is slowly coming.

Some merchants in North America have already put doomsday survival pods on the shelves, priced at US$100 million each, and many people have bought them. David may have been inspired by the box office of "The Hangover". At this time, "The Hangover" had exceeded US$1.3 million in North America and exceeded US$2 million globally.

He directly proposed to Li Mu to start filming "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" and adopt a "back-to-back" shooting method.

According to his plan, the actual shooting of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" will take more than two months, from August to October this year.

In other words, when "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" was released in November this year, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" has already entered the post-production stage.

"If it doesn't affect the release and promotion of "New Moon", let's go with this plan."

Li Mu thought about it and realized that this was indeed a good idea. As a bonus, there would be one fan movie a year, and "New Moon" would be released directly next year.

Li Mu finally made a finely edited version of "Drive My Car". He watched the movie alone and was ready to continue working on it. The final cut of the movie was completed.

The world premiere of "2012" is not far away, and Li Mu has to hurry up.

In the past few days, the trailer and interviews of Yu Feihong's "Love Has Afterlife" have been exposed, and it has been confirmed that it will be released nationwide on Chinese Valentine's Day this year.

Yu Feihong's movie has a luxurious starring team, including Cannes best actor Duan Yihong, and stars such as Li Jia and Gao Hu also participate in the starring role.

The behind-the-scenes team is also extremely luxurious. The photographer of "Infernal Affairs", the editor of "Kung Fu", the sound engineer of "Assembly", the artist of "The Mongolian King", and the costume designer of "Assassination of the Qin" all joined in.

Four experts in the industry, Wang Shuo, Tsui Hark, Jiang Wen, and Li Mu, also helped the film on different levels.

But Ning Hao was extremely angry.

Ning Hao walked into the editing room and cursed to Li Mu: "She is filming ghosts, she is actually filming ghosts!"

Yu Feihong has made it very clear in the interview that this is a story about a man and a ghost in love, and there are corresponding clips in the trailer.

This made Ning Hao feel very aggrieved.

Previously there was "Nanjing!"Nanjing! ", followed by "Love Has an Afterlife".

"Calm down, whether it's a person or a ghost, in the end it depends on the person who sends you up."

"Damn, this is about me!"

After Ning Hao finished scolding, he sighed, "How is the editing of your movie? Let me see."

"If you didn't come earlier, I just finished watching it." Li Mu complained, but still showed it to him to comfort his hurt heart.

The film has not yet been cut, and the film is still more than three hours long, but it does not affect the audience's viewing, but it is a little delayed in some places.

"I also went to see the set, but I didn't expect that when put together, the story has a different flavor." Ning Hao commented while watching.

Three hours passed by in a flash, and it was already past seven in the evening.

"It's a pity that I can't make a movie like this."

Ning Hao shook his head. He couldn't capture the feeling and taste.

I originally wanted to watch a movie to relax my mood, but after watching it, I felt even worse.

"What happened tonight?" Ning Hao asked.

"No, what's wrong?"

"How about we study the heterocyclic amines catalyzed by the Maillard reaction and the yellow foamy liquid formed by wheat fermentation, and see what effects the two chemicals have on the body when mixed?"

"??? Talking like a human being!" Li Mu wanted to kick him.

"Skewer and beer! Let's go, I feel really uncomfortable!"

"."

Ning Hao drank and complained, and in the end he drank more and more. Li Mu had to call Xing Aina to pick him up, and called Liu Yifei along the way.

"Director Li, Yifei, I'm sorry to bother you." When Xing Ai came over and saw Ning Hao looking so drunk, he got a headache.

Li Mu lend a hand and help lift him into the car.

After drinking, Liu Yifei drove another car to pick up Li Mu and take him back.

Liu Yifei looked at Ning Hao being put into the car drunkenly: "Director Ning, you have something on your mind."

"I'm so excited!" Li Mu told the story again.

"Director Ning is indeed quite unlucky."

"This guy took the photo at the wrong time."

"."

The next day, Li Mu completely edited "Drive My Car". After the final cut was completed, it would no longer move.

The film was sent to the Venice Film Festival, and the film festival at the end of August has been collecting films from major directors.

As soon as Li Mu's movie was released, it was already known in the industry, and many people were secretly envious of it.

In order to alleviate the curiosity of movie fans and fully unleash the potential of 3Dimax, Li Mu and Warner decided that July 7.18th, the 2012th day before the release of "10", will be designated as the exclusive day of "2012", and some trailers will be exposed in 3D and 3DImax theaters. .

On July 7.18, "2012 Day", audiences can enjoy excerpts from the "3" movie in selected 2012D and IMAX theaters.

On the North American side, Warner is in charge. On the domestic side, Li Mu personally contacted the directors of China Film, Wanda, Star America and other theater chains.

These people agreed readily. After all, "2012" was a hit, and they were enjoying the benefits.

The theater chain of Mengying Media was the first to bear the brunt and stood at the forefront. All its imax theaters fully promoted "2012" that day.

When this news came out, movie fans were eagerly anticipating it. However, what was sad was the movie fans in third- and fourth-tier cities. Due to economic development issues, it would be nice to have 3D theaters, but 3Dimax has not been deployed in these cities at all.

There is nothing we can do about this. Domestic 3Dimax theaters will have to wait until "2012" to truly explode.

The number of 3Dimax theaters in this life has more than doubled compared to the previous life. Unfortunately, the high price has hindered its development. The people in charge of the theater chain have only made a slight attempt and dare not take drastic measures.

People in the industry are also waiting for this US$2.5 million movie to see if the so-called 3Dimax system is really that magical.

Not long after "2012" announced its exclusive day, James Cameron's "Avatar" also announced September 9 as "Avatar Day" in North America.

Two magnificent masterpieces were announced one after another, igniting the movie-watching craze among movie fans. "2012" was the first to bear the brunt. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of July 7.18th to take the first bite of crab.

After July 7.18, "7.25" will hold luxurious world premieres in the United States and China respectively on July 7.27 and July 2012.

The feast of 3D movies is about to begin!
