Chapter 326 The Hunger Games, sulking

Li Mu did not go to this audition. He was still watching the post-production of "Edge of Tomorrow" in Tiancai.

"Edge of Tomorrow" has become a popular science fiction movie that has attracted much attention due to its excellent special effects and unique style.

From the fusion of special effects and styles to the presentation of character development and emotional clues, this movie can successfully set off a craze in the film and television industry.

At this moment, Li Mu is discussing with the special effects engineer the design of the appearance, movements and attack methods of the alien creatures.

At the same time, people from Mengying Media came and went. There were a lot of auditions this time, and they were split over several days.

"The film "To Youth" directed by Liu Yifei is currently holding auditions and is expected to start filming in early June."

At this time, Liu Yifei was sitting in the main seat, and several casting directors called people to come in for auditions one by one.

"Painted Skin 2" is less than a month away from its release. The promotional team of Mengying Media has revealed another set of ice cracking looks of the fox demon Xiao Wei. This is also a very important special effects look for Zhou Xun in the film.

"This is the 'porcelain doll' look that I discussed with the director and special effects makeup artist. What do you think? Remember to watch "Painted Skin 2"."

Zhou Xun also retweeted it on Weibo.

"It's a bit scary but also a bit beautiful. It's beautiful."

"Support the weekly news and see you in the cinema at the end of June!"

"This oriental magical effect is full of effects."

Mengying Media's publicity was one wave after another, and it began to launch the final "onslaught."

On the other hand, Liu Yifei is ready to start filming non-stop after casting, and the opening ceremony is not planned to be held. Everything is kept simple.

The shooting location was at Jinling University of Information Science and Technology.

What Li Mu didn't expect was that Liu Yifei actually chose the original heroine Yang Zishan. It was really an accident.

But the temperament is quite compatible, not to mention that Li Mu has no intention of interfering with her casting.

Star beauty.

"Director Lu, wouldn't it be inappropriate to put the schedule of "The King's Feast" in early July?"

Tan Hong was quite polite at the moment, but there were already hints in his words.

"Mr. Qin, it's mainly because Mengying Media is bullying people too much."

Lu Xun was furious. It was clear that he chose the first time slot, but Li Mu just stepped in.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Does Director Lu have any plans for other schedules?"

Qin Hong interrupted Lu Xun directly. What's the point of saying this now? If you have the ability, just do it. Obviously Lu Xun felt a little guilty at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't have said these words just now.

"Mr. Qin, I suggest putting it in the Lunar New Year slot. The market is large enough, and the Lunar New Year slot is suitable for costume dramas. It will definitely get a good box office."

Lu Xun plans to avoid "Painted Skin 2" for a while, mainly because the predecessor of this film was really good at the box office, and the sequel will most likely be a hit, and the July schedule may be the only show by one of them.

The Lunar New Year stall will have a larger capacity.

"Okay, Xingmei will send a notice later."

Qin Hong nodded. He didn't want to compete with "Painted Skin 2" at this time. He still wanted to be number one at the box office.

Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief. He had been thinking about changing the schedule for a long time. As long as Xing Mei nodded, it would happen naturally.

"The crew of "To Youth" directed by Liu Yifei has arrived at Jinling University of Information Science and Technology. Actors Yang Zishan, Yiwei Yiwei, Tong Liya, Luo Jin, Zhang Xiaofei, Zhao Liying, Zheng Kai, Cui Wenlu and other actors have arrived on the set, but Li Mu has not been seen."

"The filming of "To Youth" started at Jinling University of Information Engineering, arousing heated discussions among students."

At the same time, another domestic actress is directing again.

"Chen Chong returned to directing after 11 years, personally serving as both director and screenwriter, telling the love story in her mind."

The report closely follows "To Youth".

Recently, there are more and more cross-border directors. There seems to be news that Han Han, Guo Jingming and others have the intention to become directors.

Entering June, "The Hunger Games", this global blockbuster is about to be released in China, and the heroine Jennifer Lawrence comes to China to promote it.

The premiere is scheduled to be held grandly at the IMAX Theater of the Imperial City CBD Dream Cinema Line.

David, a fat man, also came with him.

"boss!"

David smiled happily. The global box office of "The Hunger Games" has almost exceeded 7 million US dollars.

Now released in China, the second largest box office in the world, it seems that it can break the $7 million mark.

"Don't be too happy. This movie may not be as popular as it is in North America."

Li Mu poured cold water on David.

"Boss, you mean that he might be like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and not very popular in China?"

"It's possible."

Li Mu nodded, mainly because this kind of story is not particularly liked by domestic audiences, so it can only be said to be average.

"I can still get 100 million." David was not sure.

"That should be possible."

"Hey, then the global box office will exceed 7 million US dollars."

David's smile suddenly returned.

Li Mu smiled. At this time, Jennifer Lawrence, wearing a red slit dress, slowly walked over and gave Li Mu a hug of thanks, which really surprised Li Mu.

The main reason is that the other party's dress is a bit thin and leaky, and it looks extremely sexy. Doesn't this give reporters an opportunity to write something about it?

"Lee, thank you for having me in The Hunger Games!"

"The Hunger Games" helped her a lot, and she has become one of the most dazzling new stars in Hollywood, with constant film appointments. “No need to thank me, David should have told you that he will be filming the second part in September.”

Li Mu smiled lightly.

“I’ve already got my schedule free for the second half of the year!”

Jennifer Lawrence is eager to shoot a few more series and continue to gain popularity. She finally understands the mood of "Twilight" Stewart.

A series has become a hit, and the number of fans has skyrocketed.

For just a moment, the media were taking pictures like crazy, and they seemed to be very enthusiastic about taking pictures.

The reporters were very happy. Li Mu had never had any gossip. This time they finally caught him. Unfortunately, they didn’t find a good angle just now. It would have been perfect if he had misplaced it.

This premiere was not a big one, and most of the premiere tickets from Mengying were given to the audience, but a lot of people still came, mostly from theaters, mainly because they wanted to see how many slots would be suitable for this movie. This year’s June 1st period is not that good, slightly sluggish.

It’s not that there aren’t many movies, it’s that there are too many. On June 6st alone, 1 new movies were released.

Including imported films "The Pirates", "Snow White and Mirror Mirror", "Hugo", domestic cartoons "Frog Warrior: The Mighty Instructor", "Submarine 2", as well as guest appearances by stars such as Yang Mi and Tian Liang "Run Out", "37" starring Liu Xiaoqing, Yang Caini, Lin Miaoke, etc.

However, the box office was not very good and the quality was not enough.

Now it’s time to watch “The Hunger Games” and “Madagascar 6” in mid-to-early June.

Jennifer Lawrence was still interacting with the audience on stage, causing cheers from domestic fans.

Under the stage, Ning Hao, Li Mu, and Lu Yang were chatting.

"Hollywood actors didn't come to China for promotion in the past, but this year there are more and more."

“Isn’t it true that the domestic box office and profit sharing have both increased?”

"By the way, Director Lu, don't you have any ideas recently?" Ning Hao asked suddenly. Lu Yang had been quiet since he finished filming "Xiu Chun Dao".

"He told me that he was working on the second part of "Xiu Chun Dao", but he didn't seem to have any ideas."

Li Mu smiled.

"I guess I'll have to grind it out some more."

Lu Yang scratched his head. He really had no ideas in the past six months.

"There is no rush for "Xiu Chun Knife 2". You can take your time. If there is a good script that suits you, you can also direct other projects." Li Mu suggested.

He was also going to see if there were any movies suitable for Lu Yang.

At this time, the movie has officially started. The quality of the IMAX version of the movie is still very good. The ultra-clear picture and shocking sound effects create an immersive feeling. The audience feels that the whole person is transported to that thrilling arena. .

"The movie is good, and the special effects are also good. Unfortunately, the story may not be popular in China, and there may not be many people who like it."

Ning Hao still has a very vicious eye, and he can tell at a glance that this kind of plot is not popular in China.

And there are already pirated copies in China.

"The special effects are really great."

Lu Yang commented.

"Would you like to watch a special effects blockbuster?" Li Mu said with a smile.

"I?"

Lu Yang was obviously tempted. Who wouldn't want to make some blockbuster movies to shock people?

"Does Director Li have a suitable script?"

Lu Yang asked softly, and Ning Hao heard clearly from the side and pricked his ears.

"Not yet."

Lu Yang laughed and said: "What director doesn't have the idea of ​​making a blockbuster?"

Ning Hao actually has some ideas, but he feels that he is better at feature films rather than special effects blockbusters. .

That night, news of the premiere of "The Hunger Games" spread. Originally, it wasn't too popular in the entertainment section. After all, it was an imported film and had been released abroad for more than two months.

But when the media posted the picture, they also posted a picture of Li Mu and Jennifer Lawrence embracing.

Although it doesn't look like much, I couldn't stand Jennifer Lawrence's sexy dress and Li Mu's identity, and it became quite popular for a while.

Liu Yifei was in the hotel at the moment, looking at her phone and sulking when she saw that there was no movement at all.

"Why haven't you called yet? I'm going to be angry."

Just a moment later, the phone rang.

When Liu Yifei saw the name of the caller, there was a hint of joy in the corner of her eyes, but she didn't answer it and was counting the ringtones, "1", "2", "3".

It wasn't until the fourth tone that I hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"What's the matter? I'm almost asleep."

Liu Yifei pretended not to know and even yawned, but her tone at this moment had betrayed her.

Li Mu laughed dumbly, his anger was too obvious.

"If I don't call, someone might be too sulky to sleep tonight."

"Nonsense, I'm not angry, I'm being generous."

But at this time, Liu Yifei's sullenness had subsided, and she asked with a chuckle: "When will you come to visit the class?"

"I'll go there after Lao Wu's movie premieres."

"All right."
