Chapter 280

"Spring Festival Gala jokes are created by the people! Take them from the people and use them for the people!"

"2012 CCTV Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala" has issued two solicitation orders.

One of them is to solicit "individuals, natural groups or other organizations who love comedy creation" and "from folk jokes, to humorous passages to wonderful quotations, once the works are used in Spring Festival Gala sketches, cross talk, and host strings, rewards will be given based on the quantity and extent of use. Contributors will be paid accordingly.

From Ha Wen's first visit to well-known directors such as Li Mu and Zhang Yimou to issuing a call for invitations via Weibo, the 2012 Spring Festival Gala has become more and more hopeful.

Liu Yifei seemed to want to take advantage of the excitement. She was thinking hard about humorous jokes for a long time, but she didn't think of a single word.

"It's all in vain, Sissy, you don't have a sense of humor."

Shu Chang couldn't help but hit her best friend, mainly because she felt there was nothing wrong with these words.

"It's not in vain."

Liu Yifei's eyes were shining. Finally, someone saw my shining point?

Shu Chang looked at Li Mu curiously. She really didn't believe that Li Mu could say such things against his will.

Li Mu said seriously: "After half a day of hard work, it has been proved that comedies are not for you, and there will be one less screening item in the future."

". makes sense."

"???"

Liu Yifei sat back on the sofa angrily. Well, she admitted that she was not the type to make jokes.

Li Mu said slowly: "In a few days, I will take you to watch a play and see how other people write their jokes."

Liu Yifei became interested and turned to look at Li Mu: "Which drama group?"

"Happy twist."

"I think you said before that you recommended that drama troupe to Director Ha?"

"Correct."

"I've heard of this name. It's quite famous in the past few years. I'll go, too. I'll go too. I've been too busy these past few years and haven't had time."

Shu Chang quickly raised his hand to participate.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Shu Chang, "Good guy, I don't know if I'm busy or not."

"Okay, I'll ask someone for some tickets. Will Auntie go?"

"I'll ask."

Liu Yifei happily walked to Liu Xiaoli's bedroom, came out after a while, and then shook her head.

"She said she had already seen it!"

"."

It turns out they were the ones left behind
The Venice Film Festival is in full swing, and domestic reports are still full of highlights.

Good news also came from Guo Fan. It is true that many people have asked. After all, the screen saver-like space scenes and spaceships in the trailer are enough to attract people.

And from what Guo Fan said, it seems that many people came to watch the trailer specifically because of the reputation of Mengying Media.

"This is also a kind of pressure. If I mess up the next movie, I'm afraid it will ruin the reputation."

Li Mu is also very happy. After all, the market recognizes the movies produced by Mengying. It seems that the previous movies did not make these film companies less money. Of course, it is also supported by his international reputation.

"Director Li, Columbia Pictures is very optimistic about this movie. They want to see the finished film as soon as possible and negotiate with us about a buyout or splitting of accounts."

"Colombia?"

Li Mu is no stranger to this name. After all, they are the Seven Big Seven in Hollywood. In the previous life, "Passengers" was produced by them.

But without Jennifer Lawrence, can this movie still perform well in North America?
Li Mu was not sure.

Moreover, Mengying's North American partner has always been Warner Bros., after all, the cooperation has begun.

"Don't worry, let Warner and Columbia watch it together when the time comes. The one with the highest price will get it."

"Ok."

Guo Fan then hung up the phone.

Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming stood aside, watching the people coming and going, as well as the Hollywood stars riding speedboats and the paparazzi chasing them.

"It's Director Li's reputation that works so well. I've only been here for a few days and I feel like things have been exceeded."

Zhou Xun sighed while looking at the scenery, and then asked: "Director Guo, how many more days are we going to stay here?"

"Shall we go back tomorrow, or do you want to stay here until the end?"

"Those who are qualified to enter the closing ceremony are here. We are not invited, so we should go back early. When Director Guo makes an award-winning film, we can stay until the end, right Xiao Ming. "

"Hahaha, Director Guo, I haven't walked on the red carpet in Venice yet. When did I start competing for awards?"

Huang Xiaoming agreed with a smile.

"If you want to step on the red carpet, it's not easy. Just ask Director Li to come and take you on a walk."

"Director Li naturally wants to leave as he pleases, but it's just too much for us to follow him."

"I don't know when Director Li will start competing for awards films." Huang Xiaoming said with some anticipation as he looked at the dozens of meters long Venice Film Festival red carpet.

"You want to star in Director Li's award-winning film? That's a bit difficult. I don't know how many actors are waiting, including me."

Zhou Xun didn't mince words, "But you and I are of different genders, so I don't have to worry about taking your corner."

"."

Huang Xiaoming smiled and thought about it, who wouldn't want to participate in Li Mu's award-winning film?

Guo Fan listened to what they said, and now he roughly knew what the actors were thinking.

Films competing for awards are also divided into different levels. Those like Li Mu who can compete for international awards are the most remembered.

For example, Zhang Yimou is competing for award-winning films, and many actors and actresses have to participate in the film to reduce their salary. Isn't it just to gain fame? Because Zhang Yimou is a frequent visitor to the three major movies, and he is the kind of person who is soft-handed when winning awards.

"The Count of Wulong Mountain" will be performed at the Haiding Theater in the Imperial Capital on September 9.

In the car, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang also discussed this year's Venice. Although four Chinese-language films were shortlisted for the main competition, the inland ones were absent.

Coupled with the overall failure of mainland films in the main competition section of Cannes this year, it seems that the decline has continued again.

"why?"

The two of them studied and studied there, but couldn't figure out the reason.

I could only ask Li Mu who was driving.

"To put it simply, it's just because the mainland has more people and more money. Now that we have established a foothold in the ever-expanding mainland market, it doesn't matter whether there are foreign recycling. In the past, winning awards was more about selling at a good price. Now it's better to do well." Study the mainland market.

Moreover, in order to meet the interests of audiences with diverse values, rich aesthetic experiences, and multiple cultures, it takes both effort and effort.

But the key is actually that they have never stepped out before, and they are worried about whether they have the strong ability to open up the international market. Therefore, even if they have thoughts, they can only keep it deep in their hearts.

Directors who can win awards will still go, after all, they can make a lot of money, but this year there are no literary films by directors who can win awards to go to Venice."

Li Mu shook his head. Domestic filmmakers have misunderstandings about film festivals.

However, besides misunderstandings, there are also dangers.

European and American countries continue to send emerging directors under 30 to the stage of international film festivals. Their works are fresh and powerful, their talents impress the world, and they provide new perspectives and thinking for the development direction of films.

But Chinese directors are just the opposite. Those who have been shortlisted for the three major international film festivals are directors who have already become famous. It is still difficult for Chinese original commercial films to enter the international mainstream stage.

In front of the Haiding Theater, the play "The Count of Wulong Mountain" attracted a large number of "Happy Twist" fans to watch.

"The Count of Wulongshan" premiered in November 2010 and has set many records. It will also be the box office champion of commercial dramas in the future.

"I heard they were very popular before, but I didn't expect them to be so popular."

Shu Chang was a little surprised in the box when he saw the crowd below, all seats occupied.

You must know that tickets are not cheap, the lowest price is 130. "If this play could be shown simultaneously across the country like a movie, it would be a huge profit."

"I feel so too."

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang have already begun to settle the score.

The drama crew backstage.

"Director Li seems to be here."

Yan Fei is communicating with Liu Hongtao.

"After this performance, let's visit together. This opportunity for the Spring Festival Gala is not easy."

Yan Fei nodded.

The drama "The Count of Wulong Mountain" lasts for more than 120 minutes and is hilarious without stopping.

A joke in half a minute and an applause in two minutes are definitely not excessive praise, but facts.

Robbers kidnapping hostages: We have hostages, you policemen put down your weapons and stand back 100 meters!

Police: Let go of the hostage, I'm already aiming for your head.

Hostage: Are you a Philippine police officer? You are aiming for my head.

Policeman: Don't be afraid, you will bow your head as soon as I shoot.

Hostage: I know when you will shoot?

Li Mu also had fun for two hours.

"Sure enough, I don't have any talent for writing comedy jokes."

Liu Yifei laughed while remembering what Li Mu had said to her before. Now that she had finished watching the drama, she was deeply shocked.

Shu Chang laughed heartily: "Indeed, you see what other people use for this paragraph, but you see, it took you a long time to write a word."

"If this play is adapted into a movie, it will probably be no worse than "Charlotte"." Li Mu thought to himself, 'Happy Twist' has many high-quality drama IPs, all of which are suitable for adaptation.

There was a curtain dance after the performance, and then the audience began to leave one after another.

As soon as Li Mu and Liu Yifei Shuchang walked out of the private room, someone stopped them.

"Director Li!"

Li Mu looked back and probably had a guess, but he still asked subconsciously: "Who are you?"

"I am the 'Happy Twist' Liu Hongtao. This is the director and screenwriter of "The Count of Wulong Mountain", Yan Fei."

"Hello, hello." Li Mu shook hands with the two of them.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang felt a little dizzy because they followed a few people and saw the crew members of 'Happy Twist'.

"This is the famous Director Li." Shen Teng hurriedly walked over and wiped his hands in disgust before reaching out and shaking hands with Li Mu, looking like a drama queen.

Li Mu was stunned for a while.

"Disrespectful! I heard that you bought your own ticket to enter the venue?"

Li Mu asked with a smile. "Yes, can you still do this for free?"

"How can you buy a ticket to watch, Mr. Liu? It's not interesting for you to make even Director Li's money. Have you forgotten who sponsored us to attend the Spring Festival Gala? In the future, Director Li, you will come and thank me." 's name, admission is free."

'Xie Xie' is Shen Teng's name among the Earls of Wulong Mountain.

"There is no need for these two beauties to tell me my name. The door of this Haidian Theater will open automatically."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw his performance.

"I remember your real name is Shen Teng. Are you sure I can enter the venue if I give you the name 'Xie Xie'?"

"It's an honor that Director Li can remember my name."

Ma Li quickly pulled Shen Teng: "Shen Teng, can you be more serious? You are not acting in a drama now."

"I'm not very hospitable. Maybe one day Director Li will take a fancy to me and reward me with a movie, and I'll be successful."

"Come on, Director Li, let me introduce to you, this time it's our 'Happy Twist'"

Liu Hongtao and Yan Fei introduced all the people in a short time. At this time, 'Happy Twist' was not as big as it would be in later generations, but the prototype had already come out.

"We have to thank Director Li for recommending us this time." Yan Fei thanked him from the side. He was responsible for directing and writing the sketch for this Spring Festival Gala.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu knew that Ha Wen had already arrived and left his name.

It feels good to do good deeds and leave a mark.

"The "Earl of Wulong Mountain" is well arranged. I'm just mentioning it for the Spring Festival Gala. Whether you can participate in it or not depends on your real ability."

Li Mu said politely, he really just mentioned it at the time, but now he has more ideas, but it's hard to say about this situation now.

Everyone chatted for a while, and I have to say that the comedy talents of the people in 'Happy Twist' are indeed very good. Everyone had fun for a long time.

Before leaving, Li Mu asked for the contact information of Liu Hongtao, Yan Fei and others.

"They are quite fun, and the drama they perform is very funny. We can come here more often in the future." Liu Yifei was still very interested in the drama just now in the car.

"That Shen Teng, I think it's really funny. Has he been a comedian since he was a child?"

Shu Chang was deeply impressed by Shen Teng, who spoke seriously.

Li Mu said calmly: "He used to be a student at the Military Arts School."

"what?"

"."

The two of them opened their mouths, obviously a little surprised by this answer.

"Did I hear that right? Sing singing."

"I'm thinking about that too."

"Are you sure?" The two of them looked at Li Mu with doubtful eyes.

"It's not like there's no internet, you can check it out."

Liu Yifei quickly picked up her phone and started operating it frantically, followed by silence.

"Time is really a butcher's knife," Shu Chang couldn't help but sigh, "Who would have thought."

Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu and then at the photo, feeling a little worried: "Ah Mu, you won't be like this in the future."

"???"

"Your Director Li may be promoted to comedy director as he gets older."

Comedy director?

Li Mu immediately thought of Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, and immediately cursed: "Get lost!"

Is there something wrong with these two people? They always have something to think about.

"."

Dream Shadow.

"Mr. Li, "Step by Step" was screened yesterday, and its premiere index reached 36, which is three times that of "Palace"."

Liu Weijuan is reporting on the TV series that Mengying invested in.

"We'll also give it a push from the publicity side, and try our best to promote deals for "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and Tudou Video."

For popular dramas like this, the video on demand can reach astonishing numbers and absorb a large portion of the audience, which is of great benefit to the development of the website.

Liu Shisi is really famous now. With the role of Ruoxi, she has directly entered the ranks of quasi-A-list actresses. Her net worth has skyrocketed, and her endorsement deals are soft.
　You can take a look at Earl of Wulongshan, but there doesn't seem to be a complete version online. I saw it when it was performed in Shenzhen, and it made me laugh to death.
