China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 321 Engagement?

The meeting with An Shaokang was finally scheduled for Saturday.

In China, the box office of "Golden Heist" is getting better and better, and it is competing with "Battleship".

From the film schedules of major theaters in BJ, we found that Ning Hao's new film "The Golden Heist" actually beat two Hollywood blockbusters, the 3D version of "Titanic" and "Battleship", in terms of screening times.

Another Mesozoic director, Guan Hu's "Killing" was also released.

Unfortunately, the box office performance is still not good. The box office on the first day was more than 230 million, which was lower than market expectations.

"There is a serious lack of publicity."

Li Mu looked at the data sent in the email and shook his head. In his opinion, "Killing" is indeed a film worth watching.

As a low-budget movie with a big star, Guan Hu has been polished for 8 years, but failed to draw the sword out of its sheath. I can only say that the film crew was too negligent and believed too much in the appeal of the leading actors.

The poster of "Killing" is also displayed in the cinema of Mengying Media. At first glance, it looks like a mountain comedy or a religious movie. It makes people wonder if this is a "self-rescue" by a group of monks?

No wonder the audience was unhappy.

“Fortunately, I have colleagues”

Wang Changtian's heart was full of comfort. Fortunately, he was not the only one who attacked Guangguang and his family, Xingmei also followed them!

But at this time, the Second International Film Festival in the Imperial Capital was preparing for its grand opening.

This time it was jointly sponsored by the city and the General Administration, and the standards were extremely high.

Naturally, the bureau tried its best to invite Li Mu to participate, but unfortunately his successor was in Paris. When he left, the crew would have to stop working for at least three days, which made Tong Gang feel a little regretful.

"Tong Ju, director Tsui Hark also understands 3D technology, and he and Cameron can get along well. Director Tsui Hark should be among the invitees."

Li Mu smiled.

This time Cameron was one of the chief guests.

"Um"

The opening ceremony on that day is probably unparalleled by other domestic film festivals.

The Camerons, Fox executives, Wendi Deng, and chairmen of 13 internationally renowned film festivals including the Venice Film Festival, Moscow Film Festival, and Toronto Film Festival attended the carpet.

Naturally in China, directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places came as long as they were invited and had time.

The crews of recently released movies all have people participating, and the crew of Ning Hao's "Golden Heist" is also among them.

"It's a pity. If you could attend, you would definitely be the most dazzling one like Cameron."

Liu Yifei was a little regretful.

Li Mu said indifferently: "It's all a false name."

Naturally, reporters will not let these famous people go free in their interviews.

The reporters from the Sixth Princess have already started interviewing the new President of Venice.

"Mr. Alberto Barbara, as the new chairman of the Venice Film Festival, will there be any innovations in Venice this year? Will there be new Chinese filmmakers participating?"

Alberto was a little surprised and asked: "You don't know?"

It stands to reason that the organizing committee has already invited Li Mu, and Li Mu should also accept the invitation. Although the official announcement in Venice is still a week away, the news is usually revealed in advance.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu was actually well hidden.

The reporter was also a little confused. I want to know why I’m asking you.

"Li, you are really low-key. The Venice Organizing Committee has invited Li to serve as the chairman of the horizon section of this Venice Film Festival. He will also be the youngest chairman since the establishment of the Venice Film Festival."

Alberto said calmly.

This time it was the sixth princess's reporter's turn to be surprised. Good guy, we only found out about this news now.

This is big news.

As soon as the report came out, it immediately spread.

"Li Mu will serve as chairman of the Horizon Section of the 69th Venice Film Festival in Venice"

Netizens expressed their opinions one after another.

"It's our own again, directors, hurry up and vote for Venice!"

"In fact, this may not be good for domestic films. After all, they must be fair and just. If you award awards at will, you may be scolded."

"Look, this is how the three major film festivals dare to break through and innovate. Do domestic film festivals dare to use new generation Mesozoic directors as jury presidents?"

"Come on, in terms of seniority in China, Li Mu may have to wait until his old age."

I have to say that Venice’s invitation is really a big slap in the face to domestic film festivals.

In the past, Venice invited Zhang Yimou, Jia Zhangke and others to serve as chairmen, but they didn't feel much about it. After all, Zhang Yimou and others were getting older, and domestic film festivals would soon have to change their blood, and it was almost their time.

But Li Mu, although he has received many honors from abroad, he is really not in the domestic film festival.

There are still a lot of people queuing up.

People in the industry sent congratulatory messages to Li Mu.

This is also the first time Li Mu has served as jury chairman of a major international film festival.

"Don't buy expensive things."

Liu Yifei saw Li Mu reaching for a bottle of high-end foreign wine, but Liu Yifei stopped him.

At this time, she was holding Li Mu's hand and accompanying him to select gifts for Saturday's visit.

Li Mu took a look at the price. Well, it was indeed a bit expensive. Although it was a small amount of money for him, he still had to pay attention to a few things.

"Almost."

Liu Yifei looked at the contents of the basket and smiled sweetly.

"Take a few more, I won't be surprised if there are many people."

On his way to pay, Li Mu scanned three more gifts.

Saturday is a sunny day.

Liu Yifei led the way. After all, Li Mu was unfamiliar with the place. Liu Yifei had been to Paris more times than him.

An Shaokang, Li Mu's first impression when he saw him was that he felt that this man was too bookish and elegant, or it would be more appropriate to describe him as elegant.

The bookishness in Liu Yifei's body is inherited from An Shaokang.

"Dad, let me introduce you."

Liu Yifei came to An Shaokang naturally and was about to introduce him. "Haha, no need. Although I don't watch many movies, who in China doesn't know the word Li Mu?" An Shaokang said with a smile.

"Uncle, it's a joke. They're all just false claims."

Li Mu said modestly.

“Don’t buy so many things in the future, it’s a waste of money.”

An Shaokang saw Li Mu holding two large bags of gifts and said.

Li Mu smiled and decided to buy it for the first time, at least with sincerity.

The room is quite neat, with all kinds of books in their own places.

Li Mu sat down, drank tea, and chatted with An Shaokang.

Li Mu has seen many big events, so he is definitely not reserved, but there is still a different feeling. Maybe this is the first time they meet, and it comes from the natural suppressive power of his future father-in-law.

"Speaking of which, I have to congratulate you for becoming the youngest jury president since the Venice Film Festival was founded."

An Shaokang suddenly changed the topic and the topic came to Li Mu.

Li Mu knew as soon as he heard this that he was ready to talk about business.

Even Liu Yifei noticed it and couldn't help but look at An Shaokang with her big eyes.

"It is not unprecedented for the three major film festivals to use young directors. It's just that you are the only one who is under 30 years old. You will be 30 in a year or two. Sissi is not young, so she is younger than you. "How old are you?"

An Shaokang couldn't help but sigh when he talked about his age. He glanced at Liu Yifei sitting on the sofa and didn't expect that more than 20 years would pass in such a flash.

"dad"

Liu Yifei suddenly spoke, seeming to stop An Shaokang from continuing.

"Uncle An, I have thought about it. Sissi and I will get engaged next year."

Li Mu expressed his position first before An Shaokang asked.

Parents have asked, Liu Yifei has been with him for several years, and he can't keep delaying it like this.

Even Li Mu urged Li Mu several times.

"What, I didn't even agree"

Liu Yifei's face suddenly turned red and she muttered dissatisfied.

But the curve of her mouth betrayed her.

An Shaokang nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them did not continue to discuss this topic, but Liu Yifei kept thinking about it and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the two people's decision.

After dinner, Li Mu took his leave.

"It's all my dad's fault. It makes me want to get married, but I didn't agree to it. You were too hasty."

Liu Yifei raised her snow-white neck, looking very proud.

"Oh, then I'll go back and tell Uncle An to cancel it next year."

Li Mu pretended to want to look back.

"No."

Liu Yifei immediately grabbed Li Mu and looked at him angrily, as if you would be dead if you dared to go.

"You're so cute."

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh.

"Humph, why are you so cute? I think I haven't bitten you for a long time and your skin is itchy."

Liu Yifei bit down on Li Mu's arm with dissatisfaction.

When he opened his mouth, shallow teeth marks were revealed on his arms.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

Liu Yifei raised her head and smiled sweetly.

When Li Mu saw this, he lowered his head and kissed the red lips instantly. Liu Yifei couldn't help but hugged Li Mu tightly, and her body softened.

"How about we get engaged next year?"

Li Mu parted his lips and asked softly.

"Ok!"

Liu Yifei hugged Li Mu tightly, leaned on his shoulder, and responded sweetly.

As soon as she returned to the hotel, Liu Yifei couldn't help but share the good news with Liu's mother, Shu Chang and others.

Happiness always becomes happier when shared.

Li Mu also reported this information to Li's mother. Although Li Mu promised it after the meeting, in fact, Li Mu had already planned it before, and even the date and part of the arrangements for that day had been decided.

"You still have a conscience." Mother Li said lightly.

Li Mu said sarcastically: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"Okay, give the phone to Sissi and I'll have a word with her." Mother Li urged.

"na"

Li Mu handed the phone to Liu Yifei, who was snickering at the side.

"Aunt."

Liu Yifei's voice at this moment was like a clear lark.

The next day, the crew started work as usual, but the crew found that Liu Yifei seemed much happier than before, and her filming condition was getting better and better.

The domestic May Day period is dominated by "The Golden Heist", "Battleship" and "Titanic". These two movies share most of the box office.

"Titanic" also exceeded the 9 million yuan mark in China at this time.

It left many people silent.

The box office performance of a re-released movie has surpassed 99% of domestic movies, which really makes the industry a little depressed.
