Chapter 283

Although this list said that other characters have not yet been decided, the male and female protagonists have been decided, which made everyone in the circle who had ideas feel disappointed.

I was full of expectations, but got a slap on the head.

"There's no chance again."

"Forget it, let's try for other roles to be determined. I don't know what the weight is."

Zeng Jia saw the character list on Mengying's official website and regretfully said to Yang Mi:

"There is no chance, I can only fight for a supporting role."

Yang Mi didn't expect that she would be so unlucky that she met Liu Yifei and won the title of the movie's heroine.

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

Everyone with different thoughts can only wait for Mengying to announce a more specific list of roles later.

Jiang Wen called with a very unkind smile: "The male and female protagonists of your movie will probably make everyone in the industry dumbfounded."

Li Mu sighed with emotion: "I sacrificed a lot this time, and I had to do it for the sake of box office."

Jiang Wen interrupted rudely: "Bullshit, I don't know if you are right, if there is any role that you need me to guest star in, I know my acting skills, and every time I play a role, I will be the same."

"Aren't you working on your new script?"

"That thing won't come out for a while. I just finished researching the story and wrote a simple script first. It's impossible to read. I'll just follow the original plan and invite a bunch of screenwriters to come back and write it."

Jiang Wen originally planned to try it on his own, but he failed.

"I'll look back and see if there's anything suitable for you to make a guest appearance."

"Okay, I just want to see how you shoot this sci-fi battlefield movie. Come over and take a look."

"."

Although many actors in the industry were disappointed, netizens were not disappointed. Instead, their expectations were heightened.

Especially Liu Yifei's fans, all of them screamed with excitement.

"Ah, I finally acted. It's great. Please release it as soon as possible."

"A science fiction heroine, I get excited just thinking about it."

"This seems to be the second co-starring movie between Li Mu and Liu Yifei after they announced their relationship. I look forward to it. Director Li will not cheat on his girlfriend. It will definitely be good to watch."

"It's rare to see one less movie starring Li Mu, but it's much rarer than him taking the lead."

"."

"Edge of Tomorrow", a movie with a production cost of US$[-] million, has attracted the attention of many film and television companies in the industry.

Zhang Weiping is no exception, because he is familiar with this amount of investment.

"Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is an investment of 6.5 million yuan, which is converted into [-] million US dollars.

Although Zhang Weiping is full of confidence in Lao Mouzi's film, he still feels a little guilty if he really wants to win 10 billion at the domestic box office.

Currently, there are only four movies that have exceeded 10 billion in China.

An inexplicable pressure was put on Zhang Weiping. In order to make this movie, he borrowed a lot of money. If the box office was not satisfactory, would he have to mortgage 'Zhang Yimou' or himself?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start vigorously promoting it now.

The next night, Li Mu, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, and Liu Xiaoli were all squatting beside the TV.

Because Liu Yifei's "A Date with Luyu" interview will be broadcast soon.

Little Chengzi was held in Liu Yifei's arms, and she glanced at her from time to time.

"Stop watching, there's really nothing interesting to watch in this show."

Liu Yifei also wanted to stop a few people from watching.

"Then tell me what questions you asked this time?"

Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei doubtfully. She felt that Liu Yifei was suspicious.

Liu Yifei was about to pick up the remote control on the table and change the channel: "Just some regular questions. It's an interview. What can I ask? "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is about to prepare for its finale. Let's watch that."

As a result, Shu Chang snatched him away:
"Did you say something you shouldn't have said? The mystery will start right away. I'll just watch the beginning to cheer you up."

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "How could it be possible? Just watch."

At this time, the last advertisement was still playing on the TV, and then "A Date with Luyu" began.

The first few routine questions were quite satisfactory, and then Lu Yu started to get into the routine.

"When it comes to acting or directing, Yifei, do you have any wishes or ideals?"

On the TV, Liu Yifei raised her head and asked with a puzzled face: "What ideals can you have?"

Lu Yu's expression changed and he continued to ask:
"For example, let's say you act or direct a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation."

Liu Yifei waved her hand and said with a smile: "Who should I pass it to? How is it possible? What level am I? I think too much."

"."

"You speak sincerely."

Shu Chang couldn't help but said, "What are you answering? No wonder Lu Yu's face changed."

"Haha." Liu Yifei smiled sheepishly.

Let me just say, in interviews, the host has to take the initiative and will definitely not make the interviewee too relaxed, but Liu Yifei's answer makes people crazy.

Lu Yu changed the topic and was about to take back the initiative: "I heard a piece of gossip here, can I tell you?"

"You've already said it, so just go ahead and say it."

"If you want to say no, I won't."

"That's okay. That's not okay."

Lu Yu couldn't handle this reply instantly. This guy didn't play by the rules.

"For your first work, if you use your own best friends and classmates instead of outside actors, won't you be accused of not understanding the ways of the world?"

"Your sophistication is wrong, muddled, hypocritical, and fake."

"."

"During the directing process, did the cast and crew have any interesting stories?"

Liu Yifei asked with a shocked face:

"Huh??? Who passed away, why didn't I know?"

"."

"No, what kind of reply are you talking about? Look at what you did when you asked Lu Yu back."

Shu Chang almost died laughing, and even Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but glance at her daughter.

Why haven't we discovered her talent in this area before? She's so dumb at interviews?
Liu Yifei quickly picked up the remote control to change the channel and said angrily:

"Everyone said they were watching "Bu Bu Jing Xin", but you watched it for 10 minutes and missed it."

"Okay, okay, let's watch "Bu Bu Jing Xin"."

"Bu Bu Jing Xin" has caused a viewing climax in the last few days. According to data from Mango Channel, it is close to breaking 2 in ratings.

It is expected that on the day of the finale, breaking 2 is a high probability event.

After Lu Yu's scheduled interview was aired that night, it became a hot topic because of Liu Yifei's black hole words.

Netizens have ridiculed.

"Liu Yifei's interview focuses on two words: sincerity."

"Liu Yifei: Who else? Just ask who else can survive my art of answering?"

"I didn't expect it." The premiere of "Revolution of [-]" was held at the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Auditorium. It was very grand. After all, it is a blockbuster with the main theme and starring Cheng Long. No matter which premiere you attend, it will not be small, otherwise I can't live with this in terms of face.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei arrived neither too early nor too late. There were reporters on the red carpet who asked about Li Mu's new movie.

However, at other people's premieres, Li Mu will definitely not respond to specific movie matters.

At the premiere, there was also a poster belonging to Cheng Long alone, with the number: 100 written on it.

"Is this the 100th movie starring Cheng Long?"

"Yes, otherwise why would you put up a poster here?"

Liu Yifei was a little surprised: "So many."

"I have been in the industry for 48 years. This is just the starring role. I estimate that I have participated in more than 200 filmings."

"Director Li, Yifei, welcome."

Cheng Long was smiling broadly in front of the premiere hall.

"Brother Long, I heard that you are going to France's national Chateau de Chantilly for filming soon."

Li Mu also heard the news that for the filming of "Zodiac", Cheng Long borrowed France's national-level Château de Chantilly for filming.

"Hey, everyone is giving me face."

Speaking of this, Cheng Long was also very proud. After all, not many people could have such a big reputation abroad.

Li Binbin next to Cheng Long also smiled and said hello to Li Mu and Liu Yifei.

However, this smile seemed a little different from usual, and the sensitive Liu Yifei noticed it.

"She seems to be in a bad mood." Liu Yifei and Li Mu muttered after entering the hall.

"Now she is being ridiculed by Zhang Ziyi, and she is in a bad mood."

Li Binbin and Zhang Ziyi have no relationship since "The Secret Fan". The former has opened up the international market with this movie, and recently won the role of the second female lead in "Resident Evil".

In Zhang Ziyi's view, all this should have been hers, but Li Binbin had snatched it from her before and was ridiculed.

Now Zhang Ziyi doesn't know where she got the role in the international war-romance blockbuster "Dangerous Liaisons", and she can't retaliate.
Of course, the main reason is that Li Binbin can't fight now, otherwise he wouldn't be depressed.

Because Zhang Ziyi's salary for this film is 2000 million, and at this time, there are only a handful of domestic actresses who can match this salary.

"Zhang Ziyi's salary is really high." Liu Yifei said with emotion. This salary had been disclosed by Zhang Ziyi a long time ago, which made everyone marvel, and the international chapter came back instantly.

"This salary is a bit exaggerated. If you accept a Hollywood movie, you won't be lower than her."

Liu Yifei smiled at Li Mutian and said, "That's what I said, but you won't let me act."

"Nonsense, I can definitely act in good movies."

"."

After coming in, Li Mu and Liu Yifei sat at the arranged seats and greeted Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun.

"Director Li, how much box office do you think "Revolution of [-]" can get?"

Ren Zhonglun was also under pressure at this time. This movie was a gift film strongly promoted by Shanghai Film and Television Films and Changchun Film. If the box office did not do well and failed to meet expectations, it would not look good.

What's more, the General Administration still has a target of 10 billion.

Li Mu was speechless: "Mr. Ren, you think too highly of me. The movie hasn't even been released yet."

"I'm in a hurry."

The plot of the movie "Revolution of [-]" is a bit confusing. The director tried to explain clearly what revolution is, but failed to explain it thoroughly.

Just watch it as a historical educational film.

After the movie was screened, Li Mu and Liu Yifei said goodbye directly. By the time Ren Zhonglun reacted, Li Mu had disappeared.

"He left too fast." Ren Zhonglun also planned to ask about the box office, but no one was there.

"Don't watch it. I know what he's doing. The movie probably won't do well at the box office."

Han Sanping looked serious and seemed to be worried about what to do if the box office was too low.

But Ren Zhonglun, who was familiar with him, could tell at a glance that Han Sanping was absolutely gloating about his misfortune.

As long as the "Revolution of 10" does not exceed the "Great Cause of Party Building", then even if the [-] billion goal cannot be achieved, it is definitely not Han Sanjing's problem.

After all, the shortcomings are not in "The Great Cause of Party Building".

Ren Zhonglun is very irritable. In fact, everyone's reaction after watching the movie can be roughly guessed.

And there are two competing blockbusters "Painted Wall" and "The Legend of White Snake" later.

"I hope it can exceed 3 million."

Ren Zhonglun no longer expects to exceed 4 million at this time. "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" barely exceeded 4 million, and "Revolution of [-]" is still a bit behind.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are you afraid that Mr. Ren will ask about the box office?"

In the car, Liu Yifei asked.

"This thing, if the box office is said to be high, it will be embarrassing if it cannot be achieved. If it is said to be low, everyone will be even more embarrassed."

Li Mu was also helpless. If you said there was no political mission in this box office, it would be fine if he said it, but after all, it came with a mission.

Mainly because Li Mu was afraid that neither Ren Zhonglun nor Cheng Long would be able to accept the figures he revealed.

Sure enough, "Revolution of 1000" failed to surpass [-] million votes on the first day, and a bucket of cold water was poured on the head of the producer.

"One billion is hopeless."

When Han Sanping saw this data, he already guessed the final outcome.

Fortunately, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" can be considered to have completed its task. Han Sanping was secretly glad that it was not at the bottom anyway. How can it be said that "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" currently has 4.1 million, ranking first among purely domestic films this year.

In its first week, "Revolution of 1650" received [-] million yuan. This blockbuster, with a production cost of over [-] million, is destined to lose all its money.

Then, "The Painted Wall" and "The Legend of White Snake" followed. The two films also competed with each other. Originally they were released on the same day.

In the end, "The Legend of White Snake" was postponed for one day and released on September 9.28, but the premieres of the two movies were held on the same day.

The promotion of "Painted Wall" and "The Legend of White Snake" is fierce, but the smell of gunpowder is coming out.
However, Li Mu and Liu Yifei were eating in an antique teahouse at this time.

Yu Nan's guest.

"Director Li, thank you for helping me, otherwise I wouldn't be the heroine of "The Expendables 2"."

Yu Nan specially thanked her. If Li Mu hadn't invited her to star in "Gravity", she would have gone to France to shoot a movie and recuperate from her emotional injury.

Now, suddenly, I have won a Hollywood heroine, which feels like a bit of a turnaround.

I haven't seen Zhang Ziyi already arrogant when she won the leading role in an international film. Moreover, it is also an artistic film. In fact, when it comes to raising your net worth, a heroine in a commercial film will increase faster.

"Didn't you thank me before? There's no need to be so polite. You earned this through your own hard work."

"Yes, Sister Yu Nan, there's no need to be so polite."

Liu Yifei also agreed.

"If Director Li has any roles that need to be played in the future, just call me." Yu Nan vowed.

Then he thought of something and was embarrassed: "Did I take advantage?"

"Hahaha"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. After all, there were many people who wanted to star in Li Mu's movie.

"It just so happens that I have a role in my next movie that suits you very well. Please help me make a guest appearance."

Li Mu thought of the supporting actresses in "Edge of Tomorrow". In fact, there was only one supporting actress in the cast, and she only appeared in a small number of roles. However, Yu Nan did have a suitable image, so it wouldn't hurt to make a cameo.

"Okay, Director Li."

Yu Nan said happily.
