Chapter 306 The War in the Year of the Dragon
  Most of the women found topics to talk to Liu Yifei, while the men rarely talked to Li Mu, but they drank a lot.

After dinner, it was already close to 10 o'clock in the evening, and everyone dispersed. The next time will probably be next year.

"You didn't drink too much."

Liu Yifei sat in the driver's seat and helped Li Mu pull the seat belt.

Seeing the beauty's seductive look at this moment, Li Mu couldn't help but kiss her.

Liu Yifei didn't react for a while.

He stared at his big round eyes, still a little confused.

After a while, Liu Yifei's face turned red, she pushed Li Mu away and whispered softly:
  "I'm going to die, wait until I get home."

The Spring Festival holiday is over, and many movies have started production one after another, some even starting on the second and third day of the Lunar New Year. After all, for film workers, time is money.

Mengying Media also welcomed a guest at this time.

Wu Jing was a little worried, because the script he had in hand was the result of several years of hard work. If Mengying didn't cast it, he would lose all his money in it.

"Director Li!"

When Wu Jing saw Li Mu in the reception room, she couldn't help but stood up. After all, whether she could succeed or not depended on Li Mu's attitude.

Li Mu glanced at what Wu Jing was holding and understood.

"Brother Jing, it seems that your military-themed movie script has been written."

Li Mu smiled. When he was chatting with Wu Jing two years ago, Wu Jing had revealed this matter, and he said hello to her.

"I found another screenwriter, made some changes, and shamelessly came to Director Li."

Wu Jing didn't hold back and handed over the script directly.

For this script, he even went to film "I Am a Special Forces Soldier: Knives Out" to experience it.

Looking at the words "Wolf Warrior" on the cover, Li Mu was also a little curious as to whether the script had been completed.

"The name is interesting."

Li Mu smiled and started looking directly.

Wu Jing carefully observed Li Mu's expression.

Li Mu looked normal at first, but after a while, he saw his brows furrowed and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After all, for an international director, this expression will probably not look good to the script. If this is the case, then why should I insist on filming?
  At this time, Wu Jing had serious self-doubt in her heart.

Just when Wu Jing was still doubting herself, Li Mu gently closed the script, but said nothing.

He is still thinking about the problems in this script.

Wu Jing also waited silently for Li Mu's "sentence".

There was silence in the reception room.

after awhile.

Li Muchai said softly:

"This script doesn't work well."

Wu Jing's expression suddenly changed, and he said with some reluctance:
  "Director Li, please stop looking at this."

You must know that since the disaster relief in 2008, he was deeply touched after communicating with a young soldier, and he has always wanted to make a military-themed movie to let real men appear on the screen.

But if the best director in the industry tells you no, it shakes his firm confidence.

"Well, I may have made a mistake in my statement. I just said that the script was not good, but it does not mean that the overall story is not good. At least the direction I think is good."

Seeing Wu Jing's look, Li Mu immediately reacted and explained.

When Wu Jing heard Li Mu's words, her frustration eased.

"Director Li, I have been training and filming in the army for the past six months. I know most of the contents of the special forces. If you tell me what is wrong, I will go back and correct it immediately."

Wu Jing promised emphatically.

"It's not about this. Do you know what a movie is?"

Li Mu asked with a smile, and then continued without waiting for Wu Jing to answer:

"I know you want to make a military-themed movie, but because it is a military-themed movie, the script writing time is limited. Don't you think the script will look like a science and education film?"

Wu Jing recalled the plot and felt that this was indeed the case, because he wanted to show a high level of perfection. After all, it was a military theme, so the script felt that it was biased in this direction.

"The subject of "Wolf Warrior" cannot be written in a comprehensive way. We have to consider the watchability of the movie. We make movies not to educate the audience, nor to popularize science for the audience, but to immerse the audience in the plot of the movie. Experience it yourself.”

After Li Mu finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "I suggest you find a few online writers to revise the script for you, and then find a professional screenwriter to revise the script, and finally you can unify the draft."

"Internet writer?"

Wu Jing was a little confused. He really didn't expect this suggestion.

"Internet writers are relatively free in their thinking and writing methods, which can avoid being too dull. If you hire a professional screenwriter to write, there is a high probability that you will still be limited by the subject matter."

Wu Jing's eyes lit up and she silently took Li Mu's suggestion to heart.

"By the way, I remember you just finished filming "I Am a Commando: Knives Out"."

Li Mu then thought about it, wasn't his movie still short of roles? The one in front of him was a very good supporting role. He looked at the somewhat dark Wu Jing and said slowly.

"The filming was just completed before the end of last year. To be honest, I haven't come out of the special forces yet."

Wu Jing chuckled.

"How about you play a role for me?"

"The relationship is great. Director Li, whenever you need me, just tell me." Without saying anything, Wu Jing promised, patting her chest.

The two continued chatting for a while, and Wu Jing left with the script in his hands with satisfaction, but he was still worried about who to find to continue revising the draft.

In the second week, "Gravity" earned 4.4 million yuan, with a total of 11.9 billion yuan in two weeks.

The cumulative box office in North America has reached US$1.5 million. At this time, the global box office has exceeded the US$4 million mark and is moving forward.

After "Gravity" was released in the first batch of eighteen countries, it also began to be released in Europe, mainly Eastern and Nordic countries, and the box office results are still good.

Whether it is Northern Europe or Eastern Europe, the population of small European countries here ranges from hundreds of thousands to several million. There has never been a mature film industry, and the domestic film market has long been dominated by Hollywood.

Now that "Gravity" has invaded the market here, it is basically like a duck in water, without any hindrance.

However, the market in small countries in Eastern Europe is not big. Even if it wins the box office championship, it will only bring "Gravity" a few million dollars at the box office.

The on-screen battles in the Year of the Dragon are sure to be exciting.

Many Hollywood blockbusters will fill various schedules in the Year of the Dragon.

From "Mission: Impossible 4", "Warhorse" to the 3D version of "Titanic", to "The Avengers", "Batman Begins: The Dark Knight Rises", "The Amazing Spider-Man", etc., famous directors and stars play the leading role , there are many anticipated works.

As for Chinese-language films, directors are taking their time. Films such as Feng Xiaogang's "Review of 1942" and Chen Kaige's "Search" are still being shot. They are expected to compete with "The Golden Heist", "Painted Skin 2" and "The King's Life". "The Feast", "Blood Drops", "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", etc. will face Hollywood together.

As for the upcoming Berlin International Film Festival this year, Chinese films will be included in the panorama section, exhibition films, main competition sections, and non-evaluation films. This makes this Berlin Film Festival the one that has attracted the most attention from the Chinese media in recent years. of one term.

It is a pity that only one film, "White Deer Plain", was shortlisted for the main competition.

Mengying Media is already preparing for "Edge of Tomorrow" for Li Mu, and it is expected to start filming after the Oscars.

As for the actors, Li Mu has already decided and no one has been selected.

This movie will definitely be screened around the world, so there is a chance for a supporting character to at least show his face.

This disappointed some actors. They thought they still had a chance to play a supporting role, but they didn't expect that supporting roles are so difficult to get now.

“Edge of Tomorrow is about to launch.”

The media quickly gathered the news and soon it was revealed.

In February, in addition to Berlin and the Oscars, art exams across the country also kicked off one after another.

Wang Jinsong's call still surprised Li Mu.

"Dean Wang" Li Mu smiled and answered the phone.

Over the years, Wang Jinsong has been rising steadily and is now the deputy dean of the Nortel Performing Arts Academy.

"Don't do this to me." A laughing and scolding voice came from the phone.

After briefly communicating for a while, Wang Jinsong started to get down to business.

"In recent years, you also know that there are fewer and fewer people coming out of the acting department. If you give me some advice from a director's perspective, the selection of people will start right away."

"It's quite a lot. Last year's Zhou Dongyu is quite popular now."

". It sounds like it's not all due to Nortel."

Wang Jinsong said depressedly, when talking about this person, everyone subconsciously thought that he was Miss Mou.

"For the acting department, choose less relevant people. I think it will work."

"."

Wang Jinsong was silent for a while. It was not something he could decide. There were too many layers of relationships.

"The look of the camera, the facial structure, the body structure. Also, the plastic surgery is not natural enough."

Li Mu thought for a while and made some suggestions.

"That's true. You great directors are still strict about facial micro-expressions. I'm afraid it will be difficult for those who undergo plastic surgery to get into the big screen."

"It's mainly because it's embarrassing for the audience."

"."

This year, a total of 6185 candidates applied for Beijing Film Academy of Performing Arts, and the number of admissions was 85.

Then Nortel announced the screening style for the performance department's physical examination major.

"Wang Jinsong, deputy dean of Nortel Performing Arts School, recently stated that the "natural beauty" of candidates is the most important, and candidates with tattoos and plastic surgery will be checked in the Third Examination School."

Mengying Media.

The post-production of Wu Ershan's "Painted Skin 2" and Ning Hao's "Golden Heist" has been completed, and several people are discussing the scheduling issue.

"When does "Painted Skin 2" plan to be released?"

"The sooner the better."

Wu Ershan smiled and said that this movie took him two years of hard work and he couldn't wait to see it released immediately.

"Then how about tomorrow." Li Mu said angrily, and thought for a while, "Let's put it on summer vacation, the end of June."

"Got it!"

Then Li Mu looked at Ning Hao.

"I plan to leave it until the end of April."

Ning Hao thought about it and realized that it couldn't be delayed any longer. "No Man's Land" has been delayed for several years and has not been released.

Li Mu nodded: "Then we have to start promoting it now."
