Chapter 264 Who to choose?Matt

"If I were asked to choose, it would be a bit difficult to decide."

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to make a choice."

Liu Yifei also spoke.

The voices of Ning Hao and Liu Yifei sounded like the voices of people present.

"Director Ning, why does Yu Nan feel a bit military?" Guo Fan suddenly asked.

Everyone also cast curious glances. Indeed, Yu Nan's temperament was really special.

Ning Hao thought for a while and said: "I heard from her that her grandfather was the first generation of submarine experts in the country and was somewhat influenced by it."

"Oh, no wonder, I actually think Yu Nan is more suitable."

Guo Fan came to a conclusion, which surprised everyone, especially Ning Hao. After all, Guo Fan still thought Gong Li was more suitable.

"She has a fearful expression in her performance, which is a kind of awe for life and the vast universe. Only in this way can people feel the most realistic astronaut:

They are heroic astronauts who stand out among the crowd, but in the vast universe, they are just a drop in the ocean, struggling to survive in a small and difficult way."

Guo Fan expressed his understanding. As a science fiction fan, he often dreams about the fear of human beings facing the universe, so he feels that Yu Nan's performance is more realistic.

"Director Guo, I hope to see something different in "Passengers"." Li Mu responded with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew who Li Mu had chosen in the end.

This means that Guo Fan's understanding is correct.

"As expected of the science fiction director personally selected by Li Mu, his understanding of science fiction is still deeper than that of ordinary directors." After listening to Guo Fan's words, everyone was thoughtful.

People feel their insignificance when facing the possibility of losing their lives and in the vast universe. This sense of fear makes this performance even more valuable.

"The performance was great. I think we will definitely cooperate in the future." Li Mu could only regretfully say sorry to Gong Li in the end.

Gong Li's face showed disappointment for a moment, but he quickly concealed it.

Li Mu's words were much more solemn than the perfunctory one before. There should be another chance in the future.

"Then I'll wait for Director Li's next script." Gong Li smiled.

The two also shook hands, while Gong Li walked out of the dream. She failed to land the role in "Gravity" this time and will probably have to take a long break unless a new script impresses her.

"You go to the space agency to do weightless training first!"

Yu Nan's training plan is about to begin. As the heroine, her role is so heavy that almost the second half of the scene is her solo dance.

Strive to be authentic, and naturally train her as a real astronaut.

Yu Nan nodded solemnly: "I understand, Director Li, I will go there tomorrow!"

The heroine of "Gravity" has finally settled. Through the official website of Mengying, we inform the public: The audition for the heroine of "Gravity" has ended. We sincerely invite Ms. Yu Nan to play the heroine.
"Yu Nan won the leading role in "Gravity", and the international movie queen may hit Hollywood."

The media rushed to report that this role is not light, after all, she is the heroine of a blockbuster movie.

Of course, the media still don't know that this is a movie with a female protagonist, otherwise the wording might be more radical.

There is still one more important actor who has not yet been confirmed. He can also be called the leading actor, although he only appears in half of the scenes.

"Boss, Robert Downey Jr. finally didn't agree to the invitation." David reported back that Li Mu originally planned to invite a heavyweight actor to join the movie, and Robert Downey Jr. was very happy to receive Li Mu's invitation.

"After Downey read the script, he felt that the scene was too focused on the heroine."

David explained impatiently.

Li Mu didn't pay attention and continued to order: "Contact Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney in order."

The audition for "Passengers" was much simpler.

Since Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun started working alone, due to different resources and different types of acting, it was difficult for them to meet each other and they didn't have much contact.

"I didn't expect that we could play the male and female protagonists of Mengying Media's movies together!" Huang Xiaoming was still sighing.

"By the way, how's the studio going lately?"

"That's it. Last year, I also acted in an online micro-movie "The Nail Clipper Demon." Her studio was only officially established in November last year.

“I thought it was very simple before, but when I started doing it, I realized that the whole thing was very hard to do. I had to worry about many things myself, and I had to slowly integrate my team.”

Huang Xiaoming encountered many difficulties after he separated from Huayi and formed his own team. Even his acting career encountered a bottleneck for a period of time.

"Go in, Director Guo called us." Zhou Xun waved his hand, signaling Huang Xiaoming to follow.

"It's still the same."

Huang Xiaoming smiled and didn't care.

While Li Mu and Guo Fan were still preparing the crew, Lu Xun's "The King's Feast" also held a grand opening ceremony.

This guy also called several contenders for the female lead to come and participate in the opening ceremony.

The actresses Yang Mi, Qin Lan, and Yan Ni supported Lu Xun's performance.

Lu Xun was very nervous about who would play the key role of Yu Ji in "The King's Feast". The news was not released until the movie started filming.

For the shooting effects of "Gravity", photographers and visual effects consultants have been preparing since the beginning of the project, and finally the design was completed before filming started.

"Director Li, we used a giant light box with 4096 LED bulbs, lighting, lenses, hangers and other shooting equipment. These can all be synchronized through the computer, making the actors seem to be surrounded and rotating by the universe, creating the effect of traveling through the universe."

Visual effects consultants are still showing off their designs.

Because Li Mu plans to abandon the use of scene shooting and use all CG to create a real space background.

In Li Mu's design, only most of the scenes inside the space station in "Gravity" were shot on built sets. In order to give the audience a realistic experience of outer space, CG must be used for the rest. He planned all space shots , all made with CG.

"Okay, we will adjust it according to the actual situation during shooting later." Li Mu nodded. The thing that he spent money and time to create will naturally be more realistic.

A few days later, David gave Li Mu good news.

"Boss, Matt Damon agreed and rushed to China immediately after signing the contract." David finally breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, Neill Blomkamp has written a new science fiction film script "Elysium" , I have already sent you an email, and he is asking whether Crystal is interested in investing?"

"I'll send you an email after reading it later."

Li Mu is actually somewhat impressed by this science fiction movie, which continues the style of "District [-]". Director Neill Blomkamp still loves to combine science fiction with political implications.

It's a pity that this movie is not as good as "District 2.8". With an investment of more than [-] million US dollars, the global box office is about [-] million US dollars, which is barely qualified. It is definitely possible to make money by relying on subsequent profit methods, but not much. And the payback period is relatively long.

After Matt Damon and others signed the contract, they immediately flew to the Imperial Capital for a week of training.

"Lee, I like your movies very much, especially "The Martian". In fact, I feel that I would be great in it." Matt Damon and Li Mu talked during a ceremonial hug.

"The role of You in "Gravity" is also good!" Li Mu responded with a smile.

"Indeed, the image of the male protagonist is very distinctive in your script. Different from the "tough guy" in Hollywood film and television works, the "optimistic and humorous" image is vividly displayed. I like this kind of character very much. And in the In desperate situations, you have to save your teammates first, give up your life to save your teammates, make humorous jokes at all times in desperate situations to relieve the pressure on your teammates, and even transform into dreams after sacrifice to give your teammates hope."

Matt Damon became more and more excited as he spoke, "I think only the cultural influence of your country can portray such a great character. Unfortunately, his scene was too short, otherwise I would have been able to win the Oscar!"

"You will definitely have a chance in the future."

"Then I'm looking forward to it! By the way, where are the heroines of my partner and I?"

"She's already in training, more than a week ahead of you."

"She is such a hardworking person"

"Gravity" will be officially launched in a week, and all work is being carried out in an orderly manner.

"Passengers" was prepared earlier than Li Mu. Guo Fan was already preparing to take the crew to fly to the space base. There was a newly designed spaceship there with full technology inside, just to satisfy the filming of "Passengers" .

Guo Fan couldn't wait any longer.

"Director Li, I'll leave first tomorrow." Guo Fan didn't even plan to hold a grand opening ceremony.

Li Mu nodded. He would have to wait a few days until the training of the personnel was completed.

"The crew of "Passengers" has taken the lead in starting and heading to the filming base, and Li Mu's "Gravity" is still in preparation."

As soon as Guo Fan moved his front foot, he followed up with his back foot.

There are really no good movies in the March schedule. The only one "The Martian" is slowly harvesting the box office over an extended period. At this time, the daily box office is less than 3 million, with a domestic total of 100 billion yuan and a global total of 12.2 million US dollars. .

Lu Yang's "Xiu Chun Knife" will be released on April 4.30th, and I plan to try to catch the May [-]st release date.

Mengying's publicity work has gradually begun.

"It's a pity that you are making a science fiction film, otherwise I would have gone over and stolen from you." Liu Yifei hugged Li Mu tightly and refused to let go. We would not see him again for a while.

"Come and visit the class when you have time." Li Mu smiled and stroked Liu Yifei's hair.

"I'm very busy. I have to prepare for the filming of this year's endorsement, and I also have to prepare for the promotion of "Those Years"."

Liu Yifei used her fingers to calculate the focus of her next work for Li Mu, but no matter how she calculated, she could finish the calculation with just two or three fingers.

Li Mu couldn't help but snickered.

"Don't laugh, I'm really busy"

"Yes, you are very busy!"

Li Mu looked serious and nodded.

"oops"

Liu Yifei, who couldn't help but feel unhappy, immediately hit Li Mu on the chest with her small fists.

"You are so busy, let me give you a massage." Li Mu began to squeeze his shoulders gently with both hands.

"Okay!"

Liu Yifei suddenly showed an expression of enjoyment like a little orange being touched.

"You can't use it here, so go to the bedroom."

Liu Yifei was happily in the bedroom, lying down with her hands folded to rest her chin, waiting for Li Mu's massage.

After a while, Liu Yifei suddenly said angrily: "What are you doing, isn't it a massage? Ah, you pervert, it's broad daylight again!"

However, Little Chengzi, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, was awakened by the noise. Not knowing why, he turned over and continued to sleep.

The crew of "Gravity" held a launch ceremony in the imperial capital, and more media came than actors.

After Li Mu gave the lead actor a serious promotion, he went to the space base.

Press releases from the media have been sent out.

"'Gravity' starts shooting today, and director Li Mu declared that it will be a space epic like 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'."

Guo Fan's "Passengers" was started in the base.

Although the crew is not in the imperial capital at this time, everyone is paying attention to the news in the industry.

After Zhou Xun read this draft, he couldn't help but muttered: "One Hundred Years of Solitude? Doesn't it feel more like "Passengers"? After all, the background of this movie seems to be more than a hundred years. Director Li is really good at using words. This artistic conception was lifted immediately.”

"We are not alone. After all, I am with you." Huang Xiaoming joked. In the movies they acted in, at least they had each other to accompany them for a hundred years.

"Grilly. I'll have to teach you a lesson about your acting skills later." Zhou Xun rudely hit Huang Xiaoming.

"Tsk, I couldn't have asked for it."

Matt Damon, Yu Nan and others walked into this space base for the first time, and everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Is this a great place? 'The Martian' was filmed here, right?"

Matt Damon is well-informed in Hollywood, but this sci-fi shooting base is not common in Hollywood.

"Don't worry, most of it here has nothing to do with our movie and won't be used."

".That's a pity. I think we can design more plots!"

"You want to add some drama to your leading role," Li Mu teased.

Guo Fan took Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun to greet the "Gravity" crew and held a simple welcome ceremony at the door.

"I said they would be surprised too." Huang Xiaoming remembered that when he came in on the first day, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. At this time, seeing someone similar to them, he felt balanced.

I'm not the only one who hasn't seen the world.

"." Zhou Xun didn't know what to say. She was shocked by the generosity when she saw this base for the first time.

"Gravity" has to be renovated for a day and will not start shooting until tomorrow. Li Mu also took the leading actors to visit the place where the filming will be held.

"Light box?"

There was only this big light box in the entire studio.

"Yes, this shooting will exceed your cognition, so be mentally prepared."

The set of "Gravity" is very different from the sets of other movies. The entire studio is just a light box, coupled with Bot & Dolly's IRIS equipment and ARRI Alexa camera, there is nothing left.

The big trucks and props previously needed on the set are no longer needed.

Here, they only need actors, a light box, creatives, and a group of technicians with laptops.

　Yesterday two book fans suggested using Gong Li, because the outline of this book has already been written. I tried to use Gong Li and put it into the outline. I found that it affected the outline a bit. I tried to modify it. I felt that there were a few plot points that were not smooth. , in the end I gave up using Gongli, and I apologize to both of you!
