Chapter 239 The appearance of a champion
"I have to tell you about Harvey. He often deals with Chinese filmmakers, and his usual tactic is to buy the North American distribution rights of our movies. He initially offered 800 million, but when others saw this, they stopped competing with him. He At that time, he gave a deposit of US$20. When the filming was finally completed, he said, I don’t want this movie anymore. Return it, and it will be too late if you want to sell it to someone else. Now that he is looking for you, he will offer you US$100 million.”

"Do you know how many people in China regarded him as a savior at that time? Now when they talk about him, they say 'Oh, liar'."

Feng Xiaogang is indeed a cannon, and he directly revealed some secret things.

Wang Xiaoshuai couldn't hold back this time, but he was complaining about the Shanghai International Film Festival itself.

At the closing ceremony, Wang Xiaoshuai, as a judge, was the first to award the award to the two non-professional actors in "Bi Luo Snow Mountain", and then he quietly left the venue.

Then the interview went crazy.

"We worship foreigners and favor foreigners, and there is no bottom line for hype!"

“No good film is willing to come to Shanghai to compete!”

“It’s better to change the name of the Shanghai Film Festival to a celebrity festival than to be reduced to a show place!”

The most popular thing to watch is the netizens, who all asked Feng Xiaogang and Wang Xiaoshuai to say a few more words.

For the Shanghai Film Festival awards this time, no one expected that 7 of the 4 awards were given to foreign films, so forget it, but the selected films, not to mention the audience, have not even been seen by Li Mu.

"Hey, it's a pity that I didn't go to the scene!" Ning Hao shook his head with some regret.

"Are you going to start a verbal argument?" Li Mu thought he also wanted to get into a verbal argument.

"That's not true, the main reason is that Sora Aoi is here!"

Ning Hao shook his head, still a little regretful that he didn't see the teacher.

"Director Ning is really a sweetheart, and so am I!"

Lu Yang was on the side, drinking wine with a smile, watching the game, and responded.

"Damn it, did Brazil VS Portugal not play well enough?" Li Mu said cursingly, I didn't even come with Liu Yifei to watch the game with you, but I was still absent-minded.

"It's exciting, but it's not as good as Brazil vs. North Korea!"

"Director Li, you said North Korea can qualify for the World Cup, why can't the national football team?"

"."

On June 6, Crystal Pictures’ annual super-popular blockbuster “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” will also be released in North America.

Recently, I have begun to challenge three records in Hollywood film history:

First, the premiere scale of 4416 theaters surpassed the 2 theaters of "Iron Man 4380" and became the No. 2 largest movie premiere in history.

Second, the pre-sale box office for Thursday's midnight screening reached US$3000 million, and the previous record was US$2 million for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."

三是193家IMAX影院的预售票房达到了100万美元，之前的纪录是《变形金刚2》的96万美元，而193家IMAX影院的规模也仅次于《史莱克4》的194家。

This is also one of the most popular commercial film series in Hollywood in the past three years.

Because "The Twilight Saga" was scheduled to be released in the summer for the first time, the box office of the midnight show was immeasurable.

Sure enough, thanks to the double baptism of a large release scale and huge pre-sale box office, the box office result of Wednesday's premiere was an astonishing US$6853 million.

This result broke the box office record for Wednesday's premiere in film history, making "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen"'s $6201 million history.

Independent production companies in Hollywood are very envious. Although everyone knows that the box office driven by fans will not last for two days, in just two weeks, they may be able to take away [-] million US dollars. Who is not envious?

Many people are eyeing "The Hunger Games" in the hands of Li Mu. The copyright fee for this book has been exorbitantly high by many companies, hoping to obtain the film and television adaptation rights, or to jointly develop it with Crystal Pictures.

After a crazy opening day, the film, which relied on youth idols to attract audiences, showed lack of momentum, earning $2420 million on Thursday, a 65% drop.

2800 million on the fifth day.

The cliff-like fall is in line with the rules of fan movies.

The box office is estimated to be similar to the second one. Li Mu looked at the data on David's email and muttered to himself.

It's good to be able to attract fans, but the number of fans is also limited, so it's difficult to make a big breakthrough.

The new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" filmed by Li Shaohong was broadcast on various local TV channels for the first time.

After more than three years of preparation, filming and post-production, the audience thought it was a masterpiece.

Liu Xiaoli watched two episodes at first, but after watching it for two days, she changed the channel directly.

Liu Yifei was a little surprised when she saw that Liu Xiaoli had changed to CCTV's "Heaven, Earth and People".

"Mom, why haven't you watched "A Dream of Red Mansions"?"

"It's like a ghost movie. No matter how you watch it, today's TV drama directors don't know how to film. The more they film, the harder it becomes to watch."

"Exaggeration, I don't believe it." Liu Yifei picked up the remote control and switched to the local station.

The turntable just happened to come across Daiyu's Kunqu opera soundtrack. Combined with the "gloominess" of the picture, it has a real "supernatural feeling". The style is really a bit like a "ghost" film.

Liu Xiaoli glanced at Liu Yifei, "How can I be any worse at watching TV dramas?"

"."

In fact, not only Liu Xiaoli, but also expert media have scolded Li Shaohong miserably.

"The new "Dream of Red Mansions" treats the audience as children!"

Not to mention netizens, who directly believed that it ruined the classic.

"As long as it is "A Dream of Red Mansions", it cannot be separated from controversy!"

"Don't take it out of context!"

Li Shaohong responded quickly.

Lu Xun has started to make waves on the Internet again in the past few days. He will direct the billion-dollar blockbuster "The King's Feast".

"In the new movie "The King's Feast," I will use a new historical perspective to reproduce the magnificent lives of three historical figures Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Han Xin."

This speech seems to be the same thing, very powerful.

As a result, the comments made by netizens made Lu Xun a little worried.

"Last time's new view of history was really refreshing to me. Thank you, I have blocked you!"

"To be honest, I don't have much expectations for your movie anymore! Stop making it!"

"Very good, it's a brand new view of history, the expectation value is -99!"

These remarks almost made Lu Xun break his guard first, and he quickly deleted his statement.

"Out of sight, out of mind!" Lu Xun comforted himself again.

Er Dongsheng's "The King of Guns" topped the list with a total box office of 3816 million in its first weekend. It was also the first major rebound for the summer season, which had been languishing for nearly a month.

"The Twilight Saga" has earned 3 million US dollars in the five days since its release, but the average daily box office has dropped by 1.61 million.

This medium-production film with an investment cost of only US$6800 million is still a box office winner and has a global box office.

The most anticipated event in July is the upcoming "Tangshan Earthquake", and Huayi's publicity has been overwhelming.

"The Witch" will also be released in North America at the end of July, and will be released in China on August 7.

Liu Yifei was still lying in Li Mu's arms, reluctant to leave.

Nolan's "Inception" is also going to premiere in North America, and she has to fly over tomorrow to help promote it.

"Can you go there with me?" "I have to watch the later stages of "The Martian" from time to time. I'll go there when "The Martian" premieres!"

"Isn't it true that Guo Fan is following you? I think he is much more serious than you." Liu Yifei complained about Li Mu.

"He can't decide big things!"

"Well, you have to make it up to me!"

With that said, Liu Yifei closed her eyes.

Li Mu picked up Liu Yifei as if waking up from a dream.

Liu Yifei was caught off guard and exclaimed: "What are you doing?"

"???Didn't you say you wanted to compensate?"

Li Mubao hugged her and walked to the bedroom.

Liu Yifei was angry and funny: "I meant for you to kiss me, you bad guy!"

Li Mu didn't slow down at all. He smiled as he walked and said, "I have already passed the driver's license test, why should I go back to study subject one?"

"???"

The sun rose as usual the next day, and the temperature this morning was already surprisingly high. It was indeed a summer day in the imperial capital.

Liu Yifei was still waving step by step in the airport lobby, and finally walked into the security check reluctantly.

Li Mu saw Liu Yifei off and looked at the schedule.

"Old Ning, watch the game tonight!"

"Lu Yang, don't be late for the game tonight!"

"Lao Jiang, let's go drink and watch football!"

After calling these three people, Li Mu thought for a while and simply called Guo Fan.

"Guo Fan, go watch the ball!"

"Director Li, this hasn't been finalized yet."

"Who is doing post-production work in the middle of the night?"

"The main reason is that I won't be able to get up tomorrow after watching the game!"

"It'll be better to get up later."

Guo Fan looked at his hung up phone with a wry smile.

"I'll get up late, I have to get up."

Donnie Yen has been busy with blockbuster films recently, and "Guan Yunchang" with a production cost of 1.5 million has invited Donnie Yen to play the leading role.

Some media reporters mentioned that Guan Yunchang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was nine feet tall, but Donnie Yen's height obviously did not reach this height.

When Zhen Zishan heard this, he became anxious and hurriedly said, "I am very tall. I have a high heart, a high character, and a high personality."

This has also caused many netizens to question the celebrity's height online.

Huang Xiaoming was probably annoyed by all kinds of comments questioning his height. He declared on Weibo: "I am 1 meters tall, which is the same height as my father! I also have a nose that is exactly the same as my father and grandfather! Please take advantage of those who are disparaging others. People stop it!”

Looking at this series of exclamation points, it is not difficult for Li Mu to imagine that Huang Xiaoming probably looked "angry and pale" when he posted this Weibo.

In the evening, Li Mu, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao, Lu Yang, Guo Fan and others watched the Spanish game.

"The more I watch, the more I feel that my lineup for "Let the Bullets Fly" is perfect, comparable to Spain, the favorite to win the championship." Jiang Wen knocked on melon seeds, and the ground was full of garbage.

"Old Jiang, can you be careful and don't throw melon seed shells around? What a fucking Spanish lineup." Li Mu gave him a disgusted look.

"Come on, let's talk about it." Jiang Wen was immediately unconvinced.

"I, Casillas (goalkeeper & captain)! Do you have any objections?" Jiang Wen glanced at everyone.

"Not bad!" Ning Hao nodded.

"Shao Bing - Puyol (center back), Liao Fan - Ramos (right back), Chow Yun-fat - Xavi (midfielder), Geyou - Busquets (left midfielder). Hu Jun - —Villa (forward)”

Jiang Wen picked out the people one by one and compared them. After comparing them, they really looked like that.

Lu Yang and Guo Fan couldn't help but agree.

"My movie looks like a champion this year!" Jiang Wen couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw that he had frightened everyone.

"Come on, can you surpass the domestic record of "Avatar" this year?"

Li Mu was the only one here who could talk to Jiang Wen with disdain.

"Add a condition, let's do it in China! Isn't your "Mars" released so soon?" Jiang Wen also asked specifically.

"I didn't do a good job in the later stage, and the schedule is not fixed. I shouldn't compete with you for the Lunar New Year slot!" Li Mu thought for a while, and now that the Lunar New Year slot is full, there is no need to force his way in.

Nowadays, domestic ticket warehouses are different from those in the past, and they also account for a large proportion of the overall box office, so you need to choose your schedule carefully.

Zhang Yimou's "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" was scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year, but it was moved to September.

"That's it, I will win the domestic box office championship this year! Spain will definitely beat Paraguay today!"

Jiang Wen didn't care whether it could be realized or not. Anyway, he was the first to brag.

In his spare time, Li Mu occasionally reads foreign media reports.

"The 3D version of "Titanic" will be released in April 2012."

Li Mu took a closer look at the release time. This time has a special meaning.

皇家邮轮泰坦尼克号正是在1912年4月12日起航，14日沉没，和上映日期正好相差100年。

Li Mu shook his head: "I'm afraid "2012" won't be able to maintain its second position for long!"

There has also been news recently about Tsui Hark's 3D version of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", which is scheduled to start filming this year.

At this time, two people came from Mengying, Yu Dong and Xu Hark.

The two of them came together, and Li Mu didn't understand their purpose for a while.

Inside the Mengying Tea Room.

"I'm telling the truth, I want to borrow some people from Director Li." Tsui Hark also said openly, "Director Li, you also know that there is no industrial standard for 3D movie shooting in China and even Asia. , including the biggest problem faced by "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". It took me a long time to learn from it, but there are too many major difficulties and miscellaneous problems in 3D technology. I hope Mengying can provide support."

"It is important to spend money to hire mature foreign teams, but the true mastery and skillful application of 3D technology is even more important for the booming Chinese film industry at this stage. Therefore, to make a movie, it is better to let us parachute technical teams from overseas. Build roads and improve domestic industry."

"Of course the fee should be paid to Director Li!" Yu Dong quickly added, "If Director Li is interested, we can all play together."

Tsui Hark's 3D "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is Bona Pictures' annual blockbuster, and the Bona family can't afford it. China Film and other film companies also participated in the film.

With an investment share of 2 million, the pressure was still great, and Yu Dong also wondered if he could pull Mengying into the car.

"Lending people is not a problem, but there are not many people who can be loaned out. I still have a movie to use." Li Mu also plans to continue filming "Gravity" later. If he borrows all the people, he will have to postpone the filming.

"It's okay, Director Li. Mengying's people are mainly there to help solve problems when problems arise and to assist the team!" Xu Hark knew that Li Mu had agreed, so he quickly responded.
