China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 317 Competition among Mesozoic directors

Mengying Media then issued an announcement on its official website.

"The "Ip Man 2013" project originally scheduled to be launched in 3 will be postponed. The starring role is to be determined and will be re-selected."

Although Mengying Media has not stated clearly that it will choose mainland actors to participate in the film, it must be because Mengying Media cannot clearly state that. If it did, it would be a real earthquake in the industry.

Neither Li Mu nor Mengying Media even mentioned the matter of Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo.

But everyone in the industry understands what Mengying Media means.

After all, the starring role was previously played by Donnie Yen from Xiangjiang. Now that he has been recast, it is obvious that he will be on the mainland side.

"I knew Director Li would come out and speak out. I'm so supportive. No matter who I choose, I've watched "Ip Man 3""

"It's not like "Ip Man 3" won't be able to turn without anyone, support it!"

"."

Some media in Xiangjiang were so angry that they did not dare to write openly, but secretly they wrote short essays to criticize her.

"Where is justice?"

As a result, netizens laughed at him.

"To be clear, I know who you want to talk about. Wouldn't it be fair to use another actor in someone else's movie?"

"Hahaha, this is fair. It's fair to use a specific actor, but it's unfair to change it to another one. I understand."

Industry insiders in Xiangjiang have remained silent, and even the media have been ridiculed. Their fate will only be worse. Shu Qi is a good example, and he has been criticized to the point of quitting Weibo.

Let’s talk about condemning Mengying Media and Li Mu. They have no position, and Mengying Media didn’t explicitly say that they don’t use actors from anywhere.

The most important thing is that Mengying Media can use whoever they want to use the movies it invests in. Can they take care of it?

Just like the Hong Kong media is speaking out now, there is no need for Mengying Media to issue a statement. Netizens spontaneously started to ridicule them.

Zhen Zidan was even more silent, and his face had darkened at this moment.

The "Ip Man" series is his greatest strength. Without this, it is equivalent to breaking one of his legs.

As long as "Ip Man" is around, no matter how many bad movies he makes, as long as he makes a series, he can directly recover. But without this series, it will be difficult for him to fly in the future.

What's more, he also wanted to enter Hollywood through Li Mu, but he didn't expect to end up here.

Li Mu didn't answer his call, so he could only place his hope on the Emperor. He dialed the phone without hesitation.

"Zidan."

A female voice came from the phone, but this voice made Zhen Zidan's face look even more ugly.

Because the number he called was not Huo Wenxi's number at all, but Huo Wenxi answered the call, which showed that the other party did not want to talk to him.

"Mr. Huo, I can bow my head and admit my mistake on this matter. Can we talk about "Ip Man" again?"

Zhen Zidan said in a low voice, he still wanted to save the situation. This scolding battle had already severely damaged his energy. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wanted to save the situation.

Huo Wenxi was silent for a long time, and neither party spoke.

"Zidan, with different statuses, the weight of his words is also different. Once some words are said, they cannot be easily changed."

"I understand!"

"."

At this moment, Zhao Wenzhuo was beaming with joy, having finally won.

"Wen Zhuo, you are so lucky this time. The boss came forward at the critical moment. You must thank Director Li properly when you have the opportunity."

Zhao Wenzhuo's agent did not expect that when the situation became more and more serious, Li Mu came forward.

I have to say that I have to thank the other party’s media.

"Do you think it's possible for you to star in "Ip Man 3"?"

This guess made Zhao Wenzhuo start to think a little.

"Probably not. Director Li can't find any actors."

"How is it impossible? In terms of kung fu, how many people in the circle can compare with you?"

Li Mu didn't have the time to continue paying attention to this matter. David had already called. The first part of "The Hunger Games" entered the public release stage after the grand premiere.

The North American industry has been paying attention to the situation of this movie.

As another fan work, can "The Hunger Games" carry the banner set by "The Twilight Saga" which is about to be completed this year.

Photos from the premiere have been circulated in China, and the most eye-catching one is the golden backless dress worn by heroine Jennifer Lawrence. The form-fitting cut highlights Jennifer's sexy figure.

And Liam Hemsworth's girlfriend Miley Cyrus also stole the spotlight, wearing a black lace halter top that exposed her plump breasts and belly.

"Not bad, it looks good. When will it be introduced into China?"

"What's good to watch? Are you talking about a movie?"

"Isn't it obvious? He's talking about people."

A group of LSPs have already begun to comment.

Li Mu looked at the reputation of "The Hunger Games". The current imdb score is 7.6 and the Rotten Tomatoes score is 85%. It is considered a good reputation data. At least it is much better than the mixed reputation of "The Twilight Saga". North America The box office here should be stable.

At midnight on Friday, the film was released simultaneously in 2565 theaters in North America on time. The opening data for the first day has not been released, but the midnight show data has been released.

According to statistics, the film's midnight box office reached US$1975 million, which set a new record for the highest midnight box office for a non-sequel film in film history and a record for the first-time midnight box office of a non-sequel film.

In addition, breaking out of the restriction of non-sequel films, the result of "The Hunger Games" successfully defeated the $1850 million box office of Nolan's "The Dark Knight" at its midnight premiere, ranking seventh and among the top four in film history. It was dominated by the two major series "Harry Potter" and "Twilight".

"Boss, the subject matter, worldview and youthfulness of the actors in "The Hunger Games" are enough to qualify to succeed "Harry Potter" and "The Twilight Saga" and become the representative of the new generation of youth films on the screen."

David is very excited. This year’s bonus package is rich again.

"Harry Potter" has ended, "The Twilight Saga" is about to end this year, and only "The Hunger Games" is left that hopes to capture young movie fans around the world.

Li Mu and David briefly communicated about the follow-up of "The Hunger Games" and then continued filming "Edge of Tomorrow".

The movie will have to be shot in different places later on.

On the set, the photographer's camera turned to the outside of the house. At this time, Liu Yifei rushed out of the house, followed closely by Li Mu.

"There is a mimic alien lurking 20 meters away. As soon as you start the helicopter engine, it will rush out and attack you."

Li Mu said helplessly.

But Liu Yifei was not moved at all: "Bring your weapons and come up!"

Li Mu emphasized: "There are more aliens ahead, and only one of us can survive."

But Liu Yifei had already boarded the plane, turned to glance at him and said, "Come up!"

"The only possibility is that you go to the supermarket and hide there. There is food and drink there, and wait there for me to come back." Li Mu was still trying to persuade him.

"I am a soldier, and I am ready to sacrifice at any time!" Liu Yifei wrote lightly.

"But you will die, die here!" Li Mu said angrily, "I can't save you. If I kill Omega, your death will become a fait accompli. I can't save you."

"Is it that important how I am?" Liu Yifei frowned and looked at Li Mu and asked.

Li Mu stared at Liu Yifei with some sadness and confusion, and kept shaking his head:

"I wish I'd never met you, but I can't help it."

For Liu Yifei, they had only met for one day, but Li Mu had spent countless days with her.

Women are sensitive after all, and she has seen her lover die in front of her countless times and experienced this feeling, so she understands Li Mu's mood at the moment.

"Since the beginning of the war, I was selected as a special forces member. Since then, my name has been Full Metal Warrior, known as Valkyrie. Haven't you always wanted to know my original name?"

Liu Yifei suddenly smiled and said, "My name is."

After saying this, Liu Yifei resolutely started the helicopter engine.

"."

Li Mu felt that Liu Yifei's acting skills had improved at this moment. The emotional scene suddenly became more delicate, and it felt like when she was filming "Your Name".

The crew also noticed it, but everyone smiled when they saw the plot of the script at this moment.

"How about my acting skills in this part."

After Liu Yifei finished filming, she immediately started squealing and said provocatively to Li Mu.

"So-so."

"Hmph, you're tough. You obviously didn't react like this just now. Don't think I didn't notice it."

Liu Yifei is very confident.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and prepare for the next one."

"."

April is about to enter. Here in China, four films by four directors from the Mesozoic era: Ning Hao's "The Golden Heist", Yang Shupeng's "Every Man", Guan Hu's "Killing" and Zhang Yang's "Flying Over the Nursing Home" are quite popular in the industry. for attention.

The new films have all been finalized a few days ago, and will be intensively tested by the market and audiences from April 4 to May 24. .

Nandu Quan Entertainment's official Weibo released a voting event yesterday. In the voting for "Which of these films are you most looking forward to?", "The Golden Heist" directed by Ning Hao ranked first, with more than 40% of the audience expressing their expectations. .

"Everyone" starring Huang Xiaoming followed closely behind.

"I have the most confidence in Ning Hao. His first two films did well at the box office and the story was told well. I think for domestic audiences, the story is still the first priority."

The audience's expectations for "Golden Heist" are still relatively high. After all, Ning Hao's two crazy series have also created a personal reputation.

Zhalang also invited Ning Hao to conduct a micro-interview on Weibo to talk about the new work with netizens.

However, as these new works by Mesozoic directors are released, imported blockbusters are coming in force.

The 3D version of "Titanic" suddenly mentioned April 4. The blockbuster that had dominated the domestic box office rankings for 10 years is making a comeback, which makes the early April release schedule very difficult.

And "Battleship", which is said to be comparable to "Transformers" on April 4, is going to kill again.

As for the highly anticipated "Avengers" of the Marvel Universe, it is also expected to be released simultaneously in North America on May 5.

The competition during this May Day period is actually quite fierce.
