Chapter 237
In the promotional poster, Liu Yifei's harmless face, coupled with her cold eyes, makes her heroic and beautiful.

Domestic fans are howling and calling for the arrival of this movie.

At this time, we can see the benefits of having more fans, and the support for the movie is also strong.

Fans are everywhere on all major platforms, including Weibo.

The movie's popularity was ignited with just a promotional trailer and poster.

Tang people.

Cai Yinong was still staring at the trailer of "The Witch" on the screen, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

She used to be very optimistic about Liu Yifei, but she couldn't recruit Tang people.

"It would be worthwhile to use part of the investment in "Bu Bu Jing Xin" to exchange for the heroine of "Xiu Chun Dao"!"

Cai Yinong is really confident in his vision. "Step by Step" must be a hit drama, otherwise Mengying wouldn't go out of his way to cast it.

But Liu Shisi can't keep filming TV series, otherwise it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to keep her.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" plus "Step by Step Jingxin" will give Liu Shisi a solid foundation. This is also Cai Yinong's plan.

“It’s a pity, it’s still a bit far behind.”

At the end of May, Mengying Media held the premiere of "Drive My Car" at the Nortel Auditorium.

There are also various banners and posters of the movie hanging at the school gate, and signboards are placed every few meters, for fear that others will not know and go to the wrong place.

There were also freshmen who were there to guide the way.
Expensive cars drove into the campus after registration.

Duan Yihong, Zhou Xun, Yu Feihong, Luo Jin and other leading actors came to help.

"Sissi, oh, no, it's Director Liu! When will you ask me to film a movie?" Zhou Xun said jokingly when he saw Liu Yifei.

"Director Liu!" Yu Feihong also shouted.

Liu Yifei suddenly blushed with embarrassment.

"I can't afford you, my low cost!"

"No, I'll lower the price, it's a friendly price!"

"What money do you need!"

Several people are still here, saying something to each other.

Many people took time out of their busy schedules to come.

This literary film is so grand that Li Mu can't keep a low profile even if he wants to. Many film critics want to find out what happened to this film that won two awards.

"Teacher!" When Li Mu saw Tian Zhuangzhuang and Xie Xiaojing, he quickly came over to say hello.

"We're just here to take a look. Don't pay attention to us!" Tian Zhuangzhuang waved his hand and motioned for Li Mu to get busy.

Several teachers also sat casually on the edge.

"It's been a long time since Li Mu came out of the directing department!" Xie Xiaojing looked at the people in the auditorium and couldn't help but think of the students and graduates recruited by Nortel's directing department over the years, but none of them had any good prospects for the time being.

"It's time for the teaching system to be updated. Things are different now!"

"Director Tian is right. The students in the past were all somewhat spiritual and had enough experience in life. Nowadays, all of them have almost no accumulation. They cannot produce good movies this way."

Li Mu led the leading actors onto the stage, gave a brief introduction, and then the premiere began.

Li Mu's literary films don't need to be mystical. It's not that they can't understand to show their level of skill, but it allows the audience to go straight to their hearts after watching it, whether it's moved, sad, or confused.
Ah Fu, played by Duan Yihong, is a stage actor and director, and his wife A Yin is a screenwriter. The two are not only a very loving couple, but also good partners at work. They will create together even if they are sitting in the car. Script or practice lines.

In order for the two to create scripts and practice together, his wife Ayin would also record herself reading the script, and then leave blanks where Jiafu needed to say the lines. Jiafu would play the tape every time he drove, as if following him through the air. The lines that his wife spoke to, and what he was listening to recently were:
"Uncle Vanya" by Chekhov.

One day, Ah Fu was originally going on a business trip, but his flight was canceled due to bad weather, so he had to turn back home. He unexpectedly discovered that his wife, who was still reluctant to leave him when he left home, was actually with a young girl in his own house. There are no worries at home.
Ah Fu, who was quite shocked inside, chose to endure it, quietly left home, checked into a hotel near the airport, and had a video call with his wife at night, talking and laughing, as if what he saw in the morning was just a dream.

The next day, Ah Fu was involved in a car accident and was subsequently diagnosed with glaucoma. The doctor said that vision loss in one eye would be difficult to detect because the other eye would adapt.

These words are exactly a portrayal of the current relationship between him and his wife.

The two have experienced the pain of losing their daughter together, so he can even understand that his wife uses sex to vent the depression in their hearts.

Although Ayin came to the hospital to visit, she did not ask why her husband Jiafu did not go on a business trip as originally planned, let alone why he did not confess that he had not taken the flight last night.

Obviously, Ah Yin knew that his disloyalty had been discovered, so he asked Ah Fu:

"I have something to tell you tonight!"

Just when the audience thought she was going to confess her disloyalty to her husband, Ah Fu returned home and unexpectedly found that his wife had died of a cerebral hemorrhage. The other party even left an unfinished script, leaving Ah Fu full of doubts and at a loss, while his wife Disloyalty has become an eternal secret.

The opening credits of "Drive My Car" only appear at this point, announcing that the story has officially begun, and the previous story is more like a character prequel.

"You are a very ambitious student. No wonder the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was awarded to this movie." A teacher discussed with Tian Zhuangzhuang in a low voice.

There are too many foreshadowings in this prequel. These professionals saw Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" at a glance, and the character setting happened to be a stage actor + director. Combined with the secret of his wife's unfaithfulness, this The smooth flow of the process gives people a feeling of a play within a play.

"The narrative ability is stronger!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at various scenes in the movie, and the language of the camera became more mature and sophisticated.

A film critic looked at this prequel and wrote in his notebook: "The style of "Red Daredevil", eliminating all superfluous elements, the style is simple, clean and neat!"

Two years later, Ah Fu was invited to be the stage director and will participate in the entire casting, script reading, rehearsal and performance of "Uncle Vanya".

"Uncle Vanya" was the last script recorded for him by his wife Ayin before her death. Although his wife passed away two years ago, Jiafu still habitually played the audio recorded by his wife in the car to practice the content of the script repeatedly. That classic line always comes up again and again:

"Because that woman's loyalty is a complete lie."

Through the intertextuality between the lines of "Uncle Vanya" and reality, it is shown that Ah Fu has always been immersed in his wife's betrayal and death. Even if he seems to be calm when reading the lines, he is probably already riddled with holes in his heart.

"Wonderful!"

The eyes of many film critics and directors were brightened. This line echoed the plot and felt like the finishing touch!

At this time, the heroine Zhou Xun finally appeared. The driver, whom the organizer had arranged for Ah Fu, was a silent young woman who also had a secret past that she did not want to face.

The trauma of the two people was calmly put aside during the final journey back home. The mutual embrace and relief allowed the dust-laden past to be re-examined, and a trace of comfort and relief rose in their hearts.

When the movie ended, the people around them looked solemn, still thinking about the story in the movie, that car, that person
Applause followed like thunder, and the film was recognized by those present.

"It's a shame that Duan Yihong didn't win the Oscar. This movie deserves one!"

"It's good to be able to enter people's hearts like this!"

"It's indeed a literary film. Although I don't really like watching this kind of movie, it's okay!"

Many viewers also gave reactions.

"Drive My Car" took the lead in launching its attack in June.

Professional film reviews came out quickly, adding some popularity to the movie. There were awards, and most of the reviews written by film critics were praising reviews.

"Is there a road to reach the depths of the human heart?" ""Drive My Car" is the best gift to the world!"

"A car full of stories heading to Grim Wonderland!"

“Language, Gaze and Inaccessible ‘Meaning’!”

These film critics even wrote very literary titles for their film reviews, which made many people click on them out of curiosity.

On Children's Day, the first domestic animated 3D science fiction film "Super Frog Warrior: The First Show" created by the "All-China Class" was also released on that day.

This animated science fiction film has attracted many families with children to watch the movie.

"Drive My Car" still has a very high number of films scheduled in major theaters, which is slightly lower than commercial films directed by Li Mu himself.

The two words "Li Mu" refer to box office, and all theater chain owners understand it.

"Ah Mu, how much was the box office on the first day?" Liu Yifei asked with her big round eyes.

"Why are you curious about this?"

Lying in Li Mu's arms, Liu Yifei raised her face and said with a sweet smile, "I'm not thinking about whether my "Those Years" can surpass yours."

"You are really good at calculating, pitting your commercial films against my artistic films!"

Li Mu flicked her little head.

"It hurts!" Liu Yifei muttered, and gently rubbed the area where she was hit.

"The box office is out, let me take a look." Li Mu received a text message on his phone from Lu Yu.

"1530 million at the box office on the first day!"

Both of them saw the contents of the phone.

"Not bad! It's the lowest among my movies!"

"."

"Super Frog Warriors: The First Show" has a box office of 500 million yuan in one fell swoop. Industry insiders say that this domestic animated film is likely to reach 3000 million yuan at the box office in the first weekend, and is more likely to create another domestic animation with a box office of over [-] million yuan. A piece of miracle.

"Drive My Car" is speculated in the industry to have exceeded 5000 million in its first week, which will break the record of "Mei Lanfang"'s first week of 4218 million.

The two movies are a good start for the June schedule.

"The box office of Li Mu's literary and artistic film is similar to other people's commercial films. It can't be beaten. It really can't be beaten!"

"The box office is still low. "The Martian" should be released as soon as possible. I don't like to watch literary films!"

"It's not bad. I didn't even go to the toilet for three hours. It was a little boring for the first 10 minutes, but it was fine after that!"

"Yu Feihong's figure is not bad!"

"Color embryo!"

The comedy film "On the Road" starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang will also be released in major theaters on June 6. This small-budget film was invested by Huaqi Film and Television and cost only 4 million yuan.

Xu Zou and Wang Baoqiang were still on the way to promote the movie. When they saw the posters of "A Man on the Road" put up in major theaters, Xu Zou couldn't help but become excited.

"If this movie does well, can I also be a director?" Xu Zheng had some ideas.

Although "The Man on the Road" is directed by Ye Weimin, he is a "hands-off shopper".

He has basically done all the work of the director. Not only does he act as the leading actor, he is also responsible for narrating plays for other actors, revising scripts, etc. He is very busy on the set every day.

Wang Baoqiang's thoughts are much simpler. He just thinks about how to promote the movie well.

Xue Xiaolu's literary film "Ocean Paradise" is slowly warming up and will be released in mid-June. Because Li Lienjie's 6 yuan salary is involved, it has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The post-production of "Love Lost 33" is still in production. According to the news reported by Xue Xiaolu, it is estimated that the production will be completed in August.

Mengying is still thinking about a suitable schedule for this movie.

"Are you going to attend Director Xue's premiere?" Liu Yifei sat in Li Mu's car. She has been going to Mengying with Li Mu from time to time recently.

"It depends on the situation. If nothing unexpected happens, I will participate. But you must go there."

"Well, that's what I think, you'd better come with me."

Liu Yifei said coquettishly.

"Put away your magic, I'm still driving."

"Huh, I won't"

The traffic volume in the Imperial Capital is increasing, and sometimes it can make you angry.

"By the way, do you have any ideas about the actors in "Those Years"?"

Li Mu asked casually when he saw that the road ahead was blocked and he couldn't move.

"Actually, the male lead is okay, but the female lead seems a bit difficult to find."

"How about an audition?"

"Let's take a look after I finish promoting it."

Liu Yifei also encountered difficulties when major directors choose people. Suitable roles are often not so easy to find.

Otherwise, when Zhang Yimou was taking photos of hawthorn trees, he wouldn't have searched thousands of people but couldn't find a suitable one.

Shen Jiayi in "Those Years" does not need to be too beautiful, but it can arouse the feeling of first love. Li Mu can't think of anyone in this role for a while.

"Who are you talking to?"

Li Mu saw that Liu Yifei was holding a mobile phone and was chatting with someone. Her fingers kept moving, and she was a little curious.

"Zhou Xun, I just saw the news that he and Huang Xiaoming are leaving Huayi. Let me see if I can help you recruit them." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"There's no chance. Zhou Xun said she plans to be her own boss and set up a studio!"

Liu Yifei handed the phone to Li Mu, and the chat between the two was still on the screen.

"It's normal. This is a general trend. It doesn't matter. Anyway, there will be no middlemen making the difference in the future!"

"."

The news that Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming will leave Huayi, either to change jobs or to start their own business, has not been known for a day or two, but the closer to the expiration of the contract, the more news there is.

Huayi is not just waiting for death. If people leave and cannot be kept, it would be great if new people come.

Huayi is eyeing the current Korean Wave, and it is immediately reported that a large number of Korean stars are about to transfer to Huayi, including Song Hye Kyo, Jeon Ji Hyun, Cha Tae Hyun, Jung Woo Sung, Jang Hyuk, Rain, Lee Da Hae, Jang Geun Suk and other Korean first-line popular stars.

Although I don’t know whether it’s true or not, the stock price reacted very quickly and hit the daily limit that day.
　Let's collect opinions on who is more suitable for the heroine in those years.
