China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 322 New Script

This year’s May Day schedule is crucial for Chinese movies, and is considered a battle of “millet plus rifle” against “foreign warships and big ships”.

However, the two Hollywood blockbusters "Titanic" and "Battleship" took in a combined box office of 11 billion yuan, contributing more than 70%.

Domestic movies were led by "Golden Heist", which grossed about 1.5 million box office. Adding "Everyman" and "Killing", the total box office revenue was less than million.

And that's not counting "Soul Chariot 2: Hour of Revenge." Although this movie is terrible, it still made nearly million during the May Day period.

Without the help of "Titanic", "The Golden Heist" would have gone back and forth with "Battleship".

Some people feel very disappointed with this performance of domestic films.

Because the three domestic films have reached a point where their exposure can no longer be increased in terms of publicity campaigns, the theaters arranged a very strong number of screenings for these three films on the first day of release, giving the domestic films a chance.

But judging from the current situation, only "The Golden Heist" withstood the pressure and fought its way out, while the other two failed.

Although judging from the amount of investment, the three domestic films can only be regarded as "short and poor", while "Titanic" and "Battleship" can be regarded as "tall, handsome and rich".

Although the "dwarfs and poor people" unite and try to stage a drama of "struggle", there does not seem to be a mythical ending in the end.

Cameron came to China this time to participate in the Imperial Capital International Film Festival. At the same time, he also accepted Nortel's invitation and became a visiting professor at Nortel.

This has made Nortel's reputation resounding in the industry.

"Cameron praises the huge market potential in China and looks forward to cooperating with Li Mu on 3D movies"

Cameron's remarks during the Nortel interview aroused heated discussion among netizens outside the industry.

"It's true, Li Mu and Cameron are collaborating on 3D"

"It's impossible. If two people cooperate, then who takes the lead?"

"If it's true, isn't it taking off?"

"Explosion"

The industry is very calm. Obviously, it is not easy for Li Mu and Cameron to cooperate, or it may be possible for one to be a producer and the other to be a director.

Xu Zheng has finished filming "囧" and is working hard to prepare for the post-production work.

The filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" in Paris has ended, and transitions and reshoots of some scenes have begun one after another.

The filming is coming to an end.

Recently, the relationship between Wu Jing and Xie Nan was also exposed.

"Brother Jing, congratulations, you got what you wanted." Li Mu sent a text message to tease him.

In January this year, Wu Jing posted a photo of two hands wearing couple rings on Weibo, with the text:

"What year and month will it take to get what you want!"

"Hahaha, thank you Director Li, "Edge of Tomorrow" will be finished soon. I wish you all the best in advance."

Wu Jing also quickly sent a message in response.

"Whose news?"

Xie Nan opened the passenger seat, looked at Wu Jing replying to the message, and asked subconsciously.

"Here comes the news from Director Li. Let's go and take you to the set."

After Wu Jing sent the message, she quickly put down her phone and prepared to drive Xie Nan to the set of the online version of "Du Lala's Promotion".

"Director Li?"

Xie Nan immediately knew who it was. After all, Wu Jing was filming on the set of "Edge of Tomorrow" some time ago.

"Don't you have a script that you want to collaborate with Mengying? How is the script being revised?"

"After listening to Director Li's suggestion, I am looking for online novel writers who write about military affairs to help me revise it. I guess it won't be that fast. I plan to hire a few more and revise it several times."

Wu Jing said while driving.

"This is a good opportunity, so cherish it."

"I don't know this yet. There are fewer and fewer people looking for me to film, and there are also few suitable roles. I have to do it myself."

"."

At this time, Liu Yifei's face suddenly became angry, because the relationship news between Wu Jing and Xie Nan appeared in the photo of Wu Jing's couple's ring.

"Look, Brother Jing has just started dating and is already ready to ring as a couple. Look at me."

Liu Yifei stretched out her two hands. There were no flaws or accessories on the smooth hands.

"."

Well, Li Mu realized that he really hadn't considered buying a couple's ring, and had always bought jewelry.

Girls have so many requirements. Couples have matching rings, engagement rings have engagement rings, and weddings have wedding rings.

"Fix one. The crew will go and make up one after finishing work today."

"Humph"

Liu Yifei raised her head proudly, but her eyes were full of joy.

It has to be said that girls really have no resistance to shiny things.

In the evening, Li Mu was caught by Liu Yifei and watched for a long time before choosing a couple's ring.

"Hehe, take a picture."

Liu Yifei took several beautiful photos of the two people's interlocked hands.

“Want to post on Weibo?”

"I won't post it. I'll take a photo and keep it as a souvenir."

Liu Yifei giggled and shook her head.

Li Mu silently counted, there will be too many anniversaries in the future.

Although the super blockbuster "Avengers" carefully created by Marvel Studios was officially released in major box office locations such as North America, Russia, and Mainland China this weekend, it collected US$3 million in box office within one week of release in other countries/regions, using its strength to Proven popularity and ability to attract money.

Although "Avengers" is an organized and planned money-making movie, Li Mu also has to admit that at least a lot of thought has been put into this money-making movie. It has been laid out since 2008, and even more so. In other foreshadowing works, there are foreshadowings everywhere.

At the end of the day, the five foreshadowing films have generated a cumulative box office of more than 5 billion U.S. dollars, leading to this "Avengers".

The domestic box office of 7000 million on the first day was another heavy blow to domestic films. The film schedule of domestic films has dropped again. Naturally, the films with the biggest decline are box-office films such as "Everyman" and "One Flew Over the Home."

"Ah Mu, netizens said that we can also make an 'Avengers' movie in China. The good characters will be the Calabash Brothers, Black Cat Sheriff, Sun Wukong, Nezha and even Thunderbolt Beibei, and the villains will be White Bone Demon, Scorpion Demon, and Snake." Refined."

Liu Yifei said to Li Mu with a smile.

"The idea is great, but it's too difficult to implement. Don't look at it. Get ready. It's about to be finalized."

"okay."

While "Avengers" is still sweeping the world, Li Mu's "Edge of Tomorrow" has quietly been completed.

Mengying Media posted the finalized poster on Weibo and its official website.

""Edge of Tomorrow" is finished filming, Li Mu will lead the team back to China, and may meet the audience next year."

"Liu Yifei and Li Mu both wear diamond rings on their fingers. It seems that good things are about to happen."

I have to say that the reporters observed very carefully, paying attention to such small things so carefully.

"Is the thief Li Mu going to marry Liu Yifei? No"

"There may be a real situation, wait for the official announcement!"

"It's over, I want to get married, I have no hope."

"What are you thinking about upstairs?"

Netizens were very noisy, but neither Li Mu nor Liu Yifei came out to speak.

At this time, he and Liu Yifei were meeting Xue Xiaolu.

"'Anchored in Seattle'? Director Xue, is this your latest script?"

Liu Yifei looked at the name on the cover of the script on the table and burst into laughter.

Why does this name feel so weird?

"Hahaha, I haven't decided what to call it yet, so I just gave it a random name."

Xue Xiaolu smiled and said that she also thought the name was a bit funny, but she had no good ideas for the time being.

"Emm, let me take a look first."

Liu Yifei and Li Mu both enjoyed the script that Xue Xiaolu spent more than a year tinkering with.

Xue Xiaolu said that she has always wanted to make a romance film without kissing, sex scenes, or saying "I love you" over and over again. Well, from this perspective, the script "Anchored in Seattle" has indeed fulfilled this mission.

Li Mu nodded. Xue Xiaolu is indeed a script veteran in the industry. Both the description and the dialogue are very accurate.

Many practical problems in the country have also been pointed out and grasped to a certain extent.

However, in his opinion, the final plot, in which the hero and heroine reunited two years later at the Empire State Building in New York, was such an understatement and such a happy reunion, a bit bloody, but it can really touch the hearts of many people.

Especially young women like Liu Yifei who are artistic and emotional.

"Director Xue, the writing is so good."

Liu Yifei held the script and never forgot the plot.

"Director Li, Yifei, help me think of a name for the movie."

Xue Xiaolu smiled.

"Name"

Liu Yifei stroked her chin, and her brain began to spin at high speed.

Xue Xiaolu picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and waited for a reply.

"How about "Beautiful Destiny"?"

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up and she suddenly felt that this name was great.

"."

Li Mu felt like he was going crazy. What a bad name this was.

"Why, do you feel bad?"

Seeing that the two of them didn't respond, Liu Yifei asked aggrievedly.

She thought it was very suitable. Beauty has its own fate, and it perfectly fits the artistic conception.

"Director Li, what do you think?"

Xue Xiaolu now placed her hopes on Li Mu, feeling that Li Mu's name would be more reliable.

“Let’s call it ‘BJ Meets Seattle’.” Li Mu suggested.

""BJ Meets Seattle"."

Xue Xiaolu and Liu Yifei were both reciting it silently, but the more they recited it, the more they felt that the name was very appropriate.

“It fits Seattle’s fresh air which seems to have no PM2.5 at all.”

Xue Xiaolu nodded, "The name Director Li is very meaningful. It feels like the story has been abstracted."

"It feels much better than my "Beautiful Destiny"."

Liu Yifei agreed.

"When will Director Xue plan to shoot?" Li Mu asked.

"There are still some things on hand for the time being. It may not be until November this year. The crew can make preparations first. They also need to contact relevant overseas government departments to book shooting locations in advance."

Xue Xiaolu thought for a moment.

"Ok!"

Li Mu nodded. This movie was shot very quickly. If it were fast, it would probably not take two months.

But you can’t shoot at overseas shooting locations whenever you want. You need to communicate with them a month or even months in advance.

This is necessary preparation time.
