Chapter 276 Liu Yifei: I am the beauty of heaven
"No." Liu Yifei shook Li Mu's arm, "Think about the vast audience, and auntie also likes to watch the Spring Festival Gala."

"CCTV Spring Festival Gala" is the world's largest variety show with the largest audience, and the pressure and responsibility it brings to its creators is staggering.

Throughout the decades, CCTV Spring Festival Gala has been held every year, but it has become increasingly difficult to please the audience. In fact, no matter how it is designed, they will always be dissatisfied, because there has never been a standard for measuring this thing.

The Spring Festival Gala is a big pot, and it is difficult to agree with everyone. After all, so many viewers across the country are watching it, so it needs to cater to the viewing needs of people from the north and the south, as well as different groups and classes.

Li Mu still didn't refuse Ha Wen's invitation. He wasn't going to direct it anyway, so it would be good to come up with some ideas to give this weak Spring Festival Gala some vitality.

Who makes Mother Li like to watch it?

Moreover, after Ha Wen became the chief director this time, he did not visit the big names of the Spring Festival Gala like the previous chief directors did. Instead, he came to them to learn from them. It seems that the chief director really wants to reform the Spring Festival Gala.

At this time, in the CCTV building.

"Leader, I would like to apply for two vacant positions of 'General Staff'."

Ha Wen is reporting work to the boss.

"Zhang Yimou, Li Mu. Forget it, they won't name you, but you are quite good at finding people. You can listen to their suggestions and ideas."

Both of them are capable of directing the Spring Festival Gala. It would be troublesome to be called 'consultant', let alone 'general staff member'.

Ha Wen made an appointment with Li Mu and Zhang Yimou to negotiate in a teahouse with a Chinese culture atmosphere.

The antique architectural style and the aroma of tea make it a good place to talk.

At this time, Zhang Yimou and Ha Wen had arrived, and they were drinking tea and chatting.

"Director Li, here you go, please take a seat." Ha Wen quickly stood up and said welcome.

"Director Ha, according to the usual practice, the new Spring Festival Gala director will usually visit a few big names in the Spring Festival Gala first. It seems that you have not done so. I am afraid you will offend people."

Li Mu sat down with a smile. Not long after the tea was brewed, the aroma of Dahongpao hit his nostrils.

Ha Wen did not visit the big names of the Spring Festival Gala. At this time, everyone was curious about who Ha Wen went to see first. Li Mu and Zhang Yimou had not been 'exposed' yet.

However, according to the news Li Mu heard, some big names in the Spring Festival Gala were already dissatisfied with the Spring Festival Gala director.

"Come on, Director Li has some tea first!" Ha Wen's expression did not change. She picked up the purple clay pot and poured it seven-cent full for Li Mu.

She had known about this for a long time, and she knew who the dissatisfied person was earlier than Li Mu.

"The reform should be more thorough." Ha Wen said slowly.

Zhang Yimou nodded. If Ha Wen had no determination, the Spring Festival Gala would still be the same as before, and nothing would change.

Regardless of whether the result is good or bad, you must first try the innovation.

Li Mu estimated that she had already made a decision.

Ha Wen said cautiously: "Director Zhang, Director Li, you are all great directors. You can share any ideas or suggestions you have, and you can point out any bad points."

"It's just communication, no need to be too formal." Zhang Yimou spoke first.

"Actually, the Spring Festival Gala is a stage for celebration. It doesn't mean how complicated it is. The most important thing is to use it skillfully."

"The stage of the Spring Festival Gala remains unchanged. The key is to have good programs, and most importantly, programs that the audience likes."

Li Mu said slowly, for communication, first state the core of everyone's thoughts and then communicate slowly.

At first glance, these two sentences seem to be just simple "official language". However, just as the truth is always simple, the details and content produced in it are extremely rich.

"The stage can present more and more spectacular scenery through technical means, and there is no need to rely on a large number of actors to fill the stage."

Li Mu prefers storytelling and technology.

"If you do this, Director Ha may offend others."

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and then said it.

"Director Zhang, Director Li, don't worry! We have no favors. We don't care about offending the actors, we only care about whether we offend the audience."

Seeing Ha Wen's determination, Li Mu and Zhang Yimou said a few more words.

"By the way, do the two directors have any suggestions for the team that performs the sketch?"

Li Mu was not surprised by this problem. It seemed that Ha Wen had already made a plan.

Zhang Yimou mentioned a few people, but Li Mu thought they were just average.

Li Mu thought for a while and said: "The Happy Mahua Drama Group, Director Ha can go and have a look."

Ha Wen silently wrote it down.

After the exchange, before leaving, Ha Wen specifically asked Li Mu and Zhang Yimou: "Director Li, Director Zhang, do you mind being 'exposed'?"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "It's okay, I can't hide it."

The news about Ha Wen visiting them for communication was probably spread quickly. Now Ha Wen's every move is being watched.
In fact, even if the news spread, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, he and Li Mu didn't hold positions, it was just a simple communication between directors.

After Ha Wen left, Li Mu said, "Senior brother, I'm afraid you 'betrayed' me this time."

Li Mu guessed it after thinking for a while.

"Hahaha, you are suitable to be in charge of these stage programs. I can see it this time."

Zhang Yimou laughed loudly and admitted it.

In the exchange just now, Li Mu’s application of technology is much better than him. For someone like Li Mu who pays attention to both the application of technology and the story itself, directing these stage projects should be enjoyable.

"In a big personnel situation, senior brother is still stronger."

Li Mu has also learned a lot about Zhang Yimou's unique aesthetics in big scenes. Zhang Yimou does have a deeper understanding of this than other directors.

"What do you think of her and this Spring Festival Gala?" Zhang Yimou changed the topic and asked Li Mu's opinion.

"CCTV hired Ha Wen to innovate and seek changes in the Spring Festival Gala. Judging from her current actions, changes are definitely coming, but labor pains are inevitable. This Spring Festival Gala is expected to be very different from before."

Ha Wen first changed the "exemption from inspection" this time. You must know that this change has offended the biggest influencer in the Spring Festival Gala.

Subsequently, the advertising was cut, and a large number of advertisements in the Spring Festival Gala were reduced, including the placement of advertisements for the midnight time signal. It is estimated that the Spring Festival Gala lost at least [-] billion in advertising fees.

"Yeah, by the way, the trailer for Ifena's movie looks pretty good."

"Have you ever seen this type of trailer?"

Lao Mouzi said angrily: "Who is not young yet?"

"Didn't you spend your youth in the countryside?"

"."

Seeing Li Mu coming back, Liu Yifei hurriedly greeted him: "How is it?"

"What can we do? We are not the directors. We gave you some suggestions. It was just a communication. Oh, by the way, Director Zhang praised you."

"Really." Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, and she felt like her whole body was cheering.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Well, I'll repeat it to you."

"Well, you said."

Liu Yifei's eyes were full of expectation, and she blinked at Li Mu.

"Director Zhang said: 'The movie Yifei was very good, don't make it again.'"

"?????"

"Asshole, you're lying. Director Zhang would never say that." Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment before reacting. She picked up the soft pillow on the sofa and patted Li Mu.

"Hahaha"

Li Mu couldn't hold it back and laughed first.

The more she laughed, the angrier Liu Yifei became: "Hurry up and tell me what Director Zhang said."

"Okay, okay." Li Mu quickly raised his hands in surrender, "He said your trailer looks okay."

"Hehe, this young lady is truly blessed by nature!"

After hearing this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but grinned wildly. "Come on, he just said that it's just a trailer for you, and it's not a finished film. Maybe he just said it for my sake."

"Hmph, you are jealous of me."

Liu Yifei put her hands on her hips and was very dissatisfied with Li Mu's remarks, "I'll share it with Chang Chang."

The box office of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 3)" has exceeded 3 million, but its stamina is obviously not as good as "Transformers [-]", and the box office is also far behind.

The release of "The Smurfs" aroused a small wave of moviegoers born in the 70s and 80s.

"The Smurfs" represents their childhood, youthful passion and traces of time. This is undoubtedly their eternal classic memory.

1500 million yuan on the first day, but the reputation was mixed.

"The special effects are fake and nostalgic but real."

Then the premiere of "Those Years" was scheduled to be held in Nortel.

Just like the opening ceremony, this screen debut directed by Liu Yifei attracted the attention of insiders.

On August 8, the weather was fine, and the heat was still unbearable during the day. However, in the evening, Nortel was very lively, and vehicles kept driving into the Nortel campus.

"Senior Sister Liu Yifei's "Those Years" has a lot of people coming."

"I really want to see it, but I can't go to the premiere."

"Me too!"

Some students were still discussing the guests at today's premiere, which was a grand scene.

In the auditorium, there was an endless stream of first- and second-tier stars on the red carpet, and major film and television companies gathered together.

On the Hong Kong and Taiwan side, Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, Yang Shoucheng and others came to cheer.

Mainland, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Yu Nan, Duan Yihong, Yu Feihong, Zeng Li, Yuan Quan.
Many directors also came, including Jiang Wen, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou, Huang Jianxin, Lu Yang and Guo Fan.
Brother Chen Kai couldn't get away, so he asked Chen Hong to participate.

Film and television companies that often cooperate with us and those that don't often cooperate with us basically send people here.

Dozens of domestic mainstream entertainment media gathered on both sides of the red carpet.

The reporters on the side were all stunned: "This is probably the first time that a movie with a cost of less than 1500 million has welcomed so many people."

"It's normal. You have to look at who is standing behind. If it's someone else, a few of them would be good."

"Stop chatting, someone is here again"

"Han Sanping, there's nothing to take pictures of!"

Okay, that’s what I said, but the clicking sound of photography still didn’t stop.

Although the traffic of filming Han San Ping is not as high as that of celebrities, you still have to do your job.

Fans on both sides of the red carpet cheered and cheered for their idol.

"I don't seem to have as many fans as you do. I'm obviously the lead actor." Shu Chang scanned the fans on both sides of the red carpet.

"I'm the director!"

Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Come on, your fans have almost overwhelmed all my fans."

Zhu Yawen curled his lips, "Good guy, he saw scattered light signs with his name written on them. He, the leading actor, has no reputation now."

"We are not too late.".
Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Xing Aina and others came. Before they arrived, Huang Bo's loud voice rang out.

Liu Yifei smiled and welcomed: "Director Ning, sister, Brother Bo, please come in quickly."

"You two are quite popular."

Xing Aina looked back at the crowd of fans on both sides of the red carpet. She held up the light signs of Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, almost covering the others.

Huang Bo laughed and said:
"This will make the movie popular. I'll make a cameo anyway, and maybe I'll be given a promotion spot."

The process of the red carpet was very fast, and Xue Xiaolu came relatively late. She hurried in when this stage was almost over.

"I'm sorry, Effie, something has delayed me."

Liu Yifei shook her head and didn't care: "It's okay, Director Xue. By the way, what's going on with your script now?"

"We are still collecting materials on the spot. Don't worry, you, the producer, will definitely not be able to escape."

Speaking of this script, Xue Xiaolu showed a hint of expectation.

"."

Li Mu was already sitting in the auditorium, chatting with Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, and Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Lu Xun was looking at the online reports about the premiere of "Those Years" with great disdain and a little jealousy.

None of his movies have this charade.

"A youth movie, it's great to watch. It has a box office of tens of millions."

Lu Xun murmured to himself that he couldn't believe that "Those Years" was good, after all, it was ridiculed by Li Mu on Weibo.

Then Liu Yifei took the leading actors on stage and gave a speech of thanks first.

"Before the movie starts, I want to thank Director Xue Xiaolu. When Director Xue was filming "33 Days After Love", he personally taught me a lot of director knowledge.

I would like to thank Teacher Tian. It was Teacher Tian who collected a lot of basic knowledge materials about directing and helped me consolidate my foundation in directing.

Of course, I would also like to thank Director Li Mu, even though he was 'beating' me all day long. "

When Liu Yifei said this, she couldn't help but smile.

The whole audience burst into laughter. This contrasting speech was really unexpected.

Han Sanping, Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou and others all looked at Li Mu and laughed non-stop.
"Elaborate on the 'blow' and put the thanks later."

"Yes, please elaborate on 'strike'."

The audience at the back cheered and shouted.

"Director Li, can I tell you?" Liu Yifei asked cutely with her eyes twinkling.

"Say, don't be afraid, we the audience support you."

"Yifei, don't be afraid, Director Li, we will hold it down for you."

Both the audience and the directors in the front row are 'supporting' Liu Yifei.

The leading actors around Liu Yifei were all laughing so hard, especially Shu Chang, who couldn't stand straight.

The host was also very sensible and quickly handed the microphone to Li Mu.

Li Mu pretended to sigh: "Go ahead and ask for light treatment."

"Hahaha"

"Director Li told me not to dream. Everyone should know about surpassing "2012"."

"I know, tell me something else."

Liu Yifei held the microphone and chuckled: "Just a few days ago, Director Zhang Yi praised the trailer of "Those Years" to Director Li. The original words were, 'The trailer is pretty good.' Logically speaking, it should be... Director Li came back and gave me feedback, right?"

"Correct!"

"In the end, guess what Director Li said when he came back."

Zhang Yimou was listening with his ears pricked up at this time, with a smile on his lips.

"How to say?"

The audience was cooperative and curious.

"Director Li came back and said to me: "Director Zhang praised you and asked you not to shoot anymore."
