Chapter 213 Space Base
"But the "cosmic view" of the script is too negative! I suggest changing it!" Li Mu started to think about the script. The current script has not yet been perfected for future generations and is still in the intermediate draft stage.

Jonathan felt that human exploration of space was stagnant and the script was biased towards space exploration.

And Li Mu feels that humans should save themselves here.

Several people began to quarrel and debate, each expounding their own opinions, and made major temporary adjustments to the script. Many of Li Mu's concepts were surprisingly consistent with Christopher Nolan's, so Jonathan was finally forced to accept it.

After all, two major international directors think so, so there is a high probability that this is correct.

"Time can be stretched and folded, but it cannot go backwards. Your white hair may be my childlike face, and one breath of mine can cover the years of your life."

Li Mu's words can be regarded as a summary of the interstellar view of time, but the script had to consult physicists to refine the detailed scientific elements.

"Li, your Chinese language is so beautiful. This is what I want to express." Christopher Nolan couldn't help but praise Li Mu's summary of the plot.

Jonathan Nolan's eyes also lit up.

"Let's change Murphy's identity. I think adoption is a good identity. It makes father's love transcend blood connection." Li Mu began to bring his personal belongings to the two of them.

Jonathan Nolan was a little confused. Although the changes were not big, and even such changes seemed to sublimate his father's love, he always felt that Li Mu had some purpose.

Christopher Nolan laughed immediately after hearing this: "Lee, I understand, you are doing it for Crystal, right?"

Li Mu smiled, he was so obvious, Nolan must have guessed it.

Christopher Nolan said categorically: "It's up to you, but this time your name must be written on the screenwriter."

"I agree!" Jonathan also nodded. Although the script has not been completely perfected, after several suggestions from Li Mu, the script seems to have become better and more touching.

"Don't worry, Li, I still need your help for the rest of the script. It won't be short, and I won't make it too easy for you."

Li Mu smiled and did not refuse: "Add my name as the screenwriter! By the way, do you have a plan to shoot this movie?"

Nolan thought for a while: "When I finish filming Batman before starting this project, the preparation of this movie will probably take a year or two!"

Li Mu nodded. According to the current progress of the script, the revision time of this script will not be short. In addition, Nolan is still a real-shooting fanatic. It will take at least half a year to prepare before filming. He still has to find a place to grow corn. .

Later generations heard that such 500 acres of corn were sold and made money, which is really unexpected.

"Li, it seems you haven't made a movie for a long time. Don't you have any plans?"

Christopher Nolan felt as if Li Mu hadn't filmed for more than half a year. Directors like them, if they weren't taking a break, would most likely have projects to shoot soon.

"I also plan to make a science fiction film."

Christopher Nolan suddenly became interested and was about to ask.

Jonathan Nolan was the first to ask: "Is the movie 2D or 3D?"

"3D!"

"."

"Lee, your science fiction story is very exciting. I hope I can see it in the cinema soon." Christopher Nolan waved his hand before leaving.

"Don't worry, it will be earlier than yours."

Li Mu and Liu Yifei bid farewell to Nolan at the airport together.

Li Mu also expressed some emotion that shooting the movie "Interstellar" in 3D may bring a more powerful visual experience, but traditional film and 2D formats can guarantee that this is a [-]% original movie.

This is a science fiction masterpiece, and 2D is more suitable for it.

3D technology allows the audience to better feel the fictional spaces and scenery in the movie, making the viewing more immersive.

But on the other hand, filmmakers' representations are likely to be constrained by 3D technology.

For example, special consideration needs to be given to 3D effects when shooting, rather than presenting movie content in the most natural way.

Therefore, filmmakers need to make a trade-off between 3D and 2D and choose the technical means that suit the performance needs of their works.

Nolan is the kind of director who prefers to allow the audience to focus on the plot rather than the picture. He has choices about technology.

Li Mu's movie is more suitable to be shot in 3D. Through jumping editing techniques, shocking sound design and the application of IMAX technology, it presents the almost infinite vastness of the universe to the audience, making them feel as if they are personally in the fictional world. In the universe world.

2D and 3D each have their own advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on how they are applied.

On the other side, some of the "real power" judges of the Golden Rooster were sitting together and seemed to be discussing something.

"Li Mu, I won't participate in the Golden Rooster this year. Do you have any good ideas?"

The top domestic directors have not attended the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony for many years in a row. Isn’t this a slap in the face? Especially this year, Li Mu first set a box office record and then won the Golden Lion. His reputation at home and abroad is too great!

"Let Tian Zhuangzhuang contact you?"

"Let Han Sanping come forward!"

"It's useless. They are all on Li Mu's side. It's not like Tian Zhuangzhuang hasn't tried it before!"

"Give it a try. As long as he comes, it doesn't matter if you give him a few prizes later!"

"You really don't know how to appreciate it!"

"."

People outside the industry don't know about the Golden Rooster thing, but there are strong speculations about the meeting between Li Mu and Nolan. Netizens are the most excited, and they can't wait for Li Mu to make a blockbuster immediately.

Insiders are more concerned about whether there is a new movie project, how many male and female characters there will be, and how much investment there will be.

Han Sanping was hesitant and planned to call Li Mu to ask.

Unexpectedly, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden call. When he saw the name on the caller ID, he hesitated, thought for a moment, and finally answered the call.

In front of these old people, his qualifications are still very low. If he doesn't accept it, he will be scolded behind his back the next day for not respecting the elderly and loving the young.

The same is true for Tian Zhuangzhuang. Sometimes he knows that the call cannot be answered, but he still presses the answer button in the end.

"These old guys." Han Sanping cursed secretly after answering the phone.

These people couldn't invite Li Mu, but actually asked him to come forward.

But after thinking about it, he, Han Sanping, was really famous. He was one of the few people in the circle who could talk to Li Mu. Unfortunately, he was one of the few people left. Thinking of this, he felt happy.

"But it's not easy to make a call, so I'll just mention it in passing. The most important thing is the new movie." Han Sanping made up his mind.

Li Mu was hugging Liu Yifei, and the two of them were still browsing Weibo happily, but Liu Yifei moved around on his lap from time to time, which made him a little angry.

"Don't move, Director Han is on the phone!" Li Mu subconsciously stopped Liu Yifei from moving.

Now "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is in full swing, and it is estimated to have exceeded [-] million in its first week. Han Sanping is also very proud of it. After all, it is extraordinary for a main theme movie to achieve this box office.

Liu Yifei's eyes were rolling around. Since she couldn't sit comfortably, she just changed her position. Isn't this normal?

"Director Han, what's going on?"

"Ahem, I heard that you recently started a new movie?"

"Who did you listen to?" "It's already been revealed on the Internet. Don't tell me that you and Nolan are just talking about romance together." Han Sanping couldn't believe that the two of them didn't talk about the movie project.

"Don't worry about Nolan's movies. China Film Group will most likely not be able to interfere."

There are some Hollywood giants who want to get involved in the movie "Interstellar". Even Li Mu's Crystal Pictures wants a piece of the movie, so how could it be given to China Film Group.

Han Sanping was a little disappointed.

"But I do plan to make a new movie, a Sino-US co-production, which should give me some share."

Li Mu smiled. He would have to discuss this matter with Han Sanjing sooner or later, so he might as well talk about it in passing.

"Hehe, let me just say, China Film is not short of money, we will take as much as we have!"

"It won't be much. The director's salary here is already 2000 million US dollars + 20% of the box office split."

When Li Mu said these words, even Liu Yifei, who was sitting on Li Mu's lap, was a little surprised and couldn't help but move her position.

In Hollywood, all the big-name directors and actors in the film can get a total of 20-25%, which can be divided among several people. If one person has more, the others will have less.

Li Mu's salary was basically not intended for actors, and he almost got the maximum amount.

"Your salary is a bit exaggerated!" Han Sanping was also a little shocked. Even if you look around the world, only a few directors can get this salary.

"It's all earned through several movies. If this one loses money, it will have to drop."

You must know that he got this salary in exchange for three box-office hits. Not everyone has this condition.

"Okay, what is your movie about?"

"Speaking of which, I need help from Director Han to set up a connection for this matter. I plan to build an aerospace photography base, and I need people from the space agency to help design it."

Li Mu briefly talked about the content of the movie.

Han Sanping was overjoyed and a little excited when he heard this: "If you make this movie earlier, it can be used as a gift film."

What a great idea. It includes the development of China's aerospace industry. The fearless dedication and the joint cooperation of several countries. This scene makes China look good.

Han Sanping directly promised: "This matter will be taken care of by me. They will definitely agree."

Li Mu also thought about this for a while, and simply took advantage of this opportunity to build his own aerospace high-tech photography base, which can be used repeatedly to shoot other science fiction blockbusters in the future.

Moreover, this base can be turned into a fixed asset. If it is no longer needed in the future, it will be transformed into an aerospace high-tech film and television city.

"Okay, then this is a problem for Director Han!"

Li Mu was about to hang up the phone when Han Sanping's voice suddenly dropped.

"One more thing, someone asked me to deliver a letter to you. You decide whether to go or not. The Golden Rooster kindly invites you to attend this year's awards ceremony."

Han Sanping just mentioned it in passing, as if it were a routine matter. After that, Li Mu didn't reply, he didn't continue to ask, and the call was hung up.

Liu Yifei was still sweet and ready to ask.

Li Mu, on the other hand, was agitated by her moving body.

"Stop asking and get down to business." He directly picked up Liu Yifei who wanted to speak and walked to the bedroom.

"What are you doing? It's still broad daylight." Liu Yifei blushed and buried herself in Li Mu's arms, tapping Li Mu gently with her hands.

"It's good to have it in broad daylight. Others hate that the spring night is short and the day is high, so they are stupid. When the day starts, the spring night will be longer. You can still make early morning visits the next day." Li Mu laughed.

"You are the most unreasonable."

"."

In the past two days, another major director in the industry has launched a new movie. Chen Kaige's new film "Zhao Orphan" was officially launched in Xiangshan. He will spend huge sums of money to build an ancient Spring and Autumn City in Xiangshan - "Zhao Orphan City".

This is also Chen Kai's consistent style. More than ten years ago, Chen Kai built a Qin Palace in Hengdian for "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin". Since then, this "city" has become the favorite filming location for many popular film and television works.

"Zhao's Orphan City" may also become a scenic spot later.

However, Chen Kaige's script is still in the preparation stage, and the cast and other creative situations are still unclear, and actors in the industry are becoming more active again.

Counting this way, there are two directors in the industry who are about to start work, Li Mu and Chen Kaige.

This opportunity is much greater in an instant. No matter what, there will be a few good roles.

The biggest actors in the industry are all looking for connections.

Li Mu is the hardest to guess, because he doesn't like to use big-name actors, and he doesn't have a fixed partner, unlike Feng Xiaogang, who has Ge You in seven of his eight movies.

The people Li Mu often chooses are unexpected, but very suitable.

This also gives many people in the industry an opportunity. After all, this kind of director is the favorite of actors.

Unbeknownst to everyone, "Drive My Car" quietly landed in the theaters owned by Mengying and was publicly screened for a week without any publicity.

But some eagle-eyed movie fans still discovered it.

"Have you seen Li Mu's literary film "Drive My Car"?"

"Where, where can I see it? I didn't see it."

"It seems that it will only be released in theaters owned by Mengying!"

"I watched it, it was very "healing", I recommend watching it!"

"."

There were many people discussing it on Weibo, but since Li Mu has not yet planned a large-scale public screening, not many people saw it.

And those who can watch literary films during non-prime time periods are most likely true fans, and they will all receive positive reviews.

"It is indeed a movie that won the Golden Lion. I highly recommend it!"

"There is no upper limit to the script, the best gift to the world!"

These good reviews immediately made some people who had never seen it feel itchy.

"Hahaha, netizens say you are unfair. Why did you only show it in your own theaters and then release it after a short release? I strongly urge you to re-release it." Liu Yifei laughed after seeing the discussion on Weibo.

"Someone will popularize them soon!"

October 10.1st is very close, and "Drive My Car" will soon be submitted for Oscar nomination.

However, Lu Xun began to clamor on the Internet, wanting to give "Nanjing!"Nanjing! 》Make a last ditch effort.

"This year's domestic Oscar campaign is unfair. Some people are maliciously suppressing good movies!"

Lu Xun vomited his bitterness in front of the media, but he could only have said clearly that Li Mu used his fame and awards as a director to steal his film's right to participate in the Oscars.

This statement instantly attracted the attention of many people.
