Chapter 236 Lu Xun is looking for a fight
The new film "Inception" directed by Christopher Nolan has released a new IMAX version poster. The slogan "Experience the IMAX version" is displayed at the bottom of the poster. Skyscrapers are intricately stacked in a strange space, and several protagonists stand on the glass exterior wall. .

Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Yifei Liu, Cillian Murphy
This Nolan masterpiece has been confirmed to be released in North America in early July and will be introduced in China in September.

It just so happens that Liu Yifei's "The Witch" will be released at the end of July, and it can also use a wave of publicity to completely open up its situation in Hollywood.

Yang Mi looked at Liu Yifei's various messages with mixed feelings in her heart.

Starting from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I was an unknown supporting role, while Liu Yifei was already the protagonist.

Later, when she became a little more famous, Liu Yifei had already entered the big screen.

By the time she became popular, Liu Yifei had already started working as a producer and her movies had entered Hollywood.

Now I am just about to get access to Meiya's big-screen resources, Liu Yifei is already preparing to become a director, and a Hollywood heroine movie is about to be released.

"It's really a slow step, a slow step!" Yang Mi couldn't help but think of the time in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Although there was still a gap at that time, it was not impossible to catch up.

Now, not only her, but also other people in the circle are far behind.

Yifei Liu should be the most popular name in the first half of the year. Two Hollywood masterpieces are about to be released, and there is news that she will direct a youth film.

Although it is just a low-cost movie, it depends on which company is behind it.

There are some people in the industry who are bitter, and there are also people who dare to speak out, such as Lu Xun. He is also having a bad time now. He thought he would be able to direct "The Banquet at Hongmen", but Starlight International directly fired Lu Xun.

Then he hooked up with Juli Media's Yang Zi and was expected to direct "The Legend of White Snake", but it seemed that Yang Zi didn't like him very much.

He is sore that his teeth hurt, but he is timid, so he can only say calmly: "If you don't take pictures at a low cost, you will lose money!"

As soon as his words were posted on the Internet, netizens knew what he was talking about. After all, the most famous low-budget film in the industry is Liu Yifei's "Those Years". Coupled with the grievances between Li Mu and Lu Xun, it was immediately clear Clearly.

"Lu Xun is so angry! Tsk, tsk, tsk, I heard you were fired from the crew!"

"You're laughing so hard, how dare you be so tough!"

"Director Lu is now reduced to fighting with women? This, this, this"

Li Mu didn't tolerate him, so he directly started a fight on Weibo.

"What, I can afford to pay. What does Director Lu have to say? Let's compete. I won't take advantage of you. You can choose what you have already filmed or what you are about to film to compare."

"Okay, hurry up, Director Lu, Director Li is asking for PK!"

"Lu Xun: If you want to fight, I'll forget it. I'll withdraw my troops and retreat!"

"Director Lu, you should be tougher, you are too soft!"

Lu Xun also saw what Li Mu said, but he never responded. He was not stupid. He had a very small chance of winning against Li Mu. If he lost, he would not be able to hold his head high in the circle.

"Just scold me, you can't do without me!" Lu Xun has learned Ah Q's spiritual method like a proficient master.

Shu Chang was still at home with Liu Yifei when she saw Li Mu's online statement: "Xiqian, your Director Li is so domineering. This Lu Xun looks like a dog and he doesn't look like a good guy."

Shu Changke doesn't care about Sanqi 21, whether he is right or wrong, he is always helping his own people, not to mention causing trouble for others.

Not to mention that Lu Xun is not good-looking, even if he is good-looking, he is not a good thing in her opinion.

Liu Yifei laughed unbridled. She didn't need to cover her mouth and snickered at home.

Many people in the circle also saw the domineering side of Li Mu.

"Fortunately we didn't end up miserable!"

Many people secretly rejoiced, and then they remembered that this was the person who dared to compete with Huayi before he was fully established.

In fact, Li Mu also knows that there are many people who are dissatisfied with Mengying. The cake is so big. Even if Mengying takes out a lot every time and focuses on win-win cooperation, it is impossible to cover the entire circle.

This time I took the opportunity to show a little bit of my temper.

"This Lu Xun is a bit stupid." Wang Zhongjun tapped his fingers on the stool and looked at the comments on the Internet.

You know you can't beat your opponent, but you still say something harmless. This is not stupid.

"I understand, Hua Yi should have less contact with him in the future!"

Of course Wang Zhonglei knew what was going on in the industry, but Lu Xun didn't have much ability, so the producers of both movies gave up on him.

"It's great that you scolded me, but unfortunately, I was still in Cannes and received the message too late." Jiang Wen was still regretting that he felt unsatisfied without this wonderful scene of trolling.

"How about it? Are there many people asking about the rights to your movie?" Li Mu asked with a smile. Jiang Wen still received preferential treatment in Cannes.

"It must be full. Let me tell you, everyone who wants my movie rights is ranked first, hey!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, someone was bragging outside the office just now. I ran over and listened. It's okay. Director Jiang, you continue to brag. No, you continue to talk."

"."

Jiang Wen, who finished filming "The Martian", is not idle. In addition to doing the post-production of "Let the Bullets Fly", he also edited the first trailer and released it in Cannes.

The trailer focuses on the three male protagonists Jiang Wen, Ge You, and Chow Yun-fat.

The masculine gun battles, chase scenes, and action scenes support the entire trailer, and the banner set up by a huge "kill" character also makes the audience feel the full hardcore temperament.The tone of the film is still rich in color and has a strong visual impact.

Some media also asked whether they would cooperate with director Baodao.

After all, Jiang Wen had already cooperated with Li Mu once.

Jiang Wen replied: "Director Li invited me, so I went. But Hou Hsiao-hsien and Li Jin haven't come to me yet. If they don't come to me, why should I join in the fun?"

"Bad review, Jiang Wen didn't start spraying!"

"Hahaha, you upstairs understand Jiang Wen. Indeed, there are no explosive points!"

"Tsk, the trailer from Cannes looks pretty good, just don't make it so we can't understand it!"

"I don't have this problem when I watch Li Mu's movies. I still can't understand them yet!"

Mengying Media, Ning Hao walked into Li Mu's office, still looking a little careless.

Li Mu curled his lips when he saw him: "What's wrong, Director Ning, come to my place when you have time."

Ning Hao smiled and sat down: "Hey, I just took a few casual steps and ended up here unexpectedly."

"Director Ning has taken quite a big step."

Li Mu smacked his lips: "If Cao Zhi was as good as you back then, he wouldn't be able to compose poems. He would just run out of Wei State in seven steps."

"."

"Actually, it's mainly because I haven't had much to do recently. I've just finished a script. Do you want to hear your thoughts?"

Li Mu also became interested and sat down from the office chair opposite Ning Hao, taking a sip of tea along the way.

"Tell me about it." "Originally, I wanted to write a love story, but after I finished it, I realized I didn't like it, so I re-wrote a dramatic story to cover the content. Later, I realized that what I actually wanted to write was about growth."

Ning Hao has been thinking hard at home recently and finally has an outline.

Li Mu smiled: "You must have felt that you have grown up after filming "No Man's Land"!"

"Don't tell me, it's really possible! The film describes growing up in a turbulent environment. Therefore, I was afraid to choose the time when the story takes place in the 20s and 3s."

Ning Hao's story is indeed just an outline, and many details and dramatization have not yet been completed.

"So, do you think this story has a clue?"

Ning Hao asked Li Mu excitedly, this is a ready-made script master, free consultation, no need to use it!
"What's the name of your story?"

"I just wrote a random name, let's call it "The Golden Heist"!"

Li Mu smiled. In fact, the real name of this movie should be "Guns and Roses" because Ning Hao wrote the outline first and then casually wrote the title "Golden Heist" when writing the script. Therefore, the project was approved at that time. At that time, I submitted the title "Golden Robbery" first, but considering that changing the title would require a new submission, I didn't have enough time, so I didn't change it.

"The concept is okay, but the script is good, and the art behind it is also good. You guys should polish it slowly first."

For Ning Hao's movie, you need to find reference materials such as still photos, books, documents, movies, videos, etc. Otherwise, you won't be able to capture the studio effects of the "full movie" period.

Ning Hao nodded: "I will ask you to evaluate it first. With your words, I will be more confident. I have been ready to do this for more than half a year."

"By the way, when does Yifei turn on her phone, call me and I'll join in the fun!" Ning Hao thought about it before leaving.

"Go, go, go!" Li Mu waved his right wrist, signaling him to get out of here.

"Remember to call."

At the same time, in the Tianzhuangzhuang office of Nortel.

"Old Tian! Let our photography department take a look at your disciple's precious thesis!" Mu Deyuan, director of the photography department of the Film School, was still pestering Tian Zhuangzhuang.

What he was talking about was Li Mu's graduation thesis. After being asked for a copy by the superiors, this thesis was not put on the relevant platform where it could be viewed. Nortel held it tightly in his hands.

"What do you want that thing for?" Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say no to it.

"We plan to add a new 3D course this year. There are too few of us who know it. Let's learn from it!" Mu Deyuan was also a little embarrassed, but many people asserted that this is the direction of future film development.

Nortel's Department of Photography naturally could not lag behind. It quickly added 3D courses and set it as a basic course for students for one semester. This can be regarded as being at the forefront of the domestic times.

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded, "Okay, just don't spread rumors!"

"Who would want to spread this stuff to outsiders?"

"."

After the box office of "Ip Man 2" directly exceeded 2 million, it still has some stamina. The box office has reached 2.3 million, and piracy has increased online.

"I'm afraid it won't reach 3 million." Li Mu looked at the box office data and gave a rough estimate.

As a saying from "The Matrix" says, everything has a beginning and an end.

Cannes, the top film event, set off the final climax before the curtain came down with the closing ceremony of the awards ceremony.

This year's domestic Cannes Film Festival failed to win anything. "The Man Who Remembers Past Lives" directed by Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul won the Palme d'Or for Best Film. This is also the first time that a Thai film has won the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival. honor.

Although the project of Liu Yifei's "Those Years" has been announced, it will still be some time before it is launched.

Both the movies "Inception" and "The Witch" need promotion, and Liu Yifei definitely needs to participate in the promotion. If they start filming at this time, it will waste a lot of time.

So the start-up time has been postponed to August.

June is coming soon, and the promotion momentum for movies that will be released in June and July has begun vigorously.

In this day and age, whoever promotes aggressively will still have an advantage in the box office.

Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" was the most heavily promoted, and it also had official support. In the end, the film chose to produce a 2DIMAX version, which shows Feng Xiaogang's ambition.

During the promotion period, "The Spy" starring Chow Yun-fat and Gong Li claimed to have signed up to compete for Oscars, attracting the attention of many viewers.

"My Beautiful Boss" starring Jingtian is also very popular. Jingtian is also a relatively popular newcomer at the moment. With the support of starring in "Warring States", a movie with a production cost of up to 1.5 million, his attention has greatly increased.

"Sure enough, we still have to make blockbusters!" Lu Zheng looked at the reports from various media and smiled with satisfaction.

This blockbuster is just so attractive.

"Uncle Lu, I feel like my performance in "Warring States" was not very good." Jingtian didn't know how to express that feeling. He felt that the plot was very different from Li Mu's movie, and even the director was the same.

"You're still a new actor. It's okay. If you don't perform well, just act a few more times and let the director teach you!"

Lu Zheng didn't take it too seriously. In his opinion, practice makes perfect.

"I feel like it's much smoother to act in Director Lee's movies. He can always point out where I'm acting wrong and tell me how to act. But Director Jin"

Lu Zheng hurriedly interrupted Jingtian, looked around, and saw no one spoke: "Director Li's level must be different. Just tell me this, and don't spread it."

If such words are spread, people will be offended.

Jingtian nodded, she was not stupid either.

"Start acting well first, and Uncle Lu will invite a famous director for you later!" In Lu Zheng's view, the problems that money can solve are nothing.

"How about Director Li?" Jingtian looked at Lu Zheng expectantly.

Lu Zheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Ahem, Director Li alone in China may not be good enough."

The main reason is that Li Mu is not short of money. Lu Zheng can't think of any way to impress Li Mu.

"."

The first global trailer and promotional poster for "The Witch" are released.

With clean and neat fighting scenes, free from the collision of limbs and weapons, and hearty visual pleasure, this trailer has attracted the attention of people around the world.

"This girl is so cool, I seem to have an impression of her!"

"It's so cool. Is this Kung Fu? This action is so cool, I like it!"

"I like this feeling. This action scene is so explosive. I want to watch the movie when it comes out!"

"."

Domestic actresses looked at this trailer and instantly knew how important the role of the heroine in this movie was.

The entire trailer focuses on Yifei Liu.

"This is a super heroine. If all the movies were of this quality, how many fans would it attract?"
