Chapter 327 Painted Skin 2

Recently, news came from North America that the December schedule of this year has been renamed "Doomsday Schedule". The source is naturally the Mayan prophecy in Li Mu's "12" movie.

December 2012, 12 was the end of the world predicted by the Mayans.

I have to say that the "doomsday" atmosphere in North America is very strong. It happens to be before Christmas, and many blockbusters are gearing up to collectively market the doomsday atmosphere.

The first movie here in China scheduled to be released in the so-called "doomsday period" is Liu Weiqiang's "Blood Drops".

"The end of the world was carved on the stone by the Mayans. No one knows what it will be like. The end of the world may break the promise, but "Blood Drops" will not. We will see you on December 2012, 12."

"It's the end of the world, let's watch "Blood Drops""

"If there really is an end of the world, it doesn't matter, because with the company of "Blood Drop", you can hold her hand and go to the cinema. After watching the movie, you will find that mankind has entered another higher civilization."

Huang Xiaoming, Li Yuchun, Yu Wengle and others posted articles one after another. It must be said that this wave of marketing was very successful and aroused the interest of many viewers.

"What the hell, Li Mu filmed "2012" a few years ago. Is the end coming so soon? It's been three years in a flash?"

"Hahahaha, it's the end of the world. Let's see which film will be the end of the world this year."

"Give it all to me, pay tribute to "2012", let's have some blockbusters!"

At this moment, Qin Hong, chairman of Xingmei Media, announced on Weibo that "The King's Feast" directed by Lu Xun and starring Liu Ye, Daniel Wu, etc. has withdrawn from the summer schedule.

"Despite our efforts, due to special non-commercial reasons, the film "The King's Feast" directed by Lu Xun will have to abandon its original schedule of July 7. The specific release date will be discussed later."

"The King's Feast" has been a topic of constant discussion since its preparation. First, there was a conflict over the subject matter, then there were news of resignations, filming suspension, etc., and now it has been completely withdrawn.

Even viewers who have some thoughts about the movie can't help but question it.

"What's going on? It was shut down in November, but it's still unavailable in July?"

"I suspect this is to avoid "Painted Skin 2"."

"No need to guess, it must be to hide from a certain movie. Needless to say the title, everyone knows it."

Lu Xun looked at the comments made by netizens and couldn't help but come out to "refute the rumors."

"Because the film is still under review, I can't be 100% sure about the schedule, but as a member of the Chinese film industry, I hope to compete with Hollywood films in the summer vacation. "The King's Feast" has never been afraid of challenges."

Li Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Xun's reply.

Damn it, this man probably will be all soft when he dies, only his mouth will be hard.

"Withdrawal may not be a good thing. The next movie will probably be scarier than "Painted Skin 2"."

Li Mu secretly thought to himself, if you think about it, you can probably get a rough idea of ​​what the movies will be in the next few months. The most important thing is that there is a big killer, which is much better than "Painted Skin 2".

Recently, Fan Binbin appears too frequently.

First, she was accused of smearing Zhang Ziyi, and Fan Binbin sued for rights protection. This is the seventh time she has filed a lawsuit for rights protection in the past 8 years.

Later, it was "revealed" that Fan Binbin will participate in the Hollywood blockbuster "Mermaid" and will partner with old Bond Pierce Brosnan.

The news spread, causing an uproar among domestic actresses.

From "You may not dare to wear my dragon robe" to "I have the final say on the definition of a crane", after several years of ostentatious preparation on the international red carpet, Fan Binbin has successfully entered Hollywood!

This seems to be a clear path.

Fan Binbin made a big publicity, eager to let everyone know, and of course the most important thing was to slap Li Binbin hard.

During Cannes a few days ago, Li Mu heard Zhu Yawen say that the internal fighting among these female stars on the red carpet was ridiculously serious.

It was revealed by the media that Li Binbin deliberately mocked Fan Bingbing's "porcelain outfit": "I think as long as you dress appropriately, it doesn't need to be too exaggerated or weird."

"Really? No way? I've experienced a lot of rumors, but I still don't want to believe the truth."

But when she turned around to be interviewed, she had a different set of words. It was as if the innocent rumor did not come from her, and she even made a special statement.

On the contrary, Fan Binbin was more assertive, forwarding the statement and responding calmly: "Remember Xiao Fan once said: Thousands of arrows pierce the heart, just get used to it."

This time when I received an invitation from Hollywood, Fan Binbin had to publicize it no matter what. At least the red carpet performance in these years has been harvested and she successfully fought back.

But after seeing this film, Li Mu burst out laughing.

If I remember correctly, "Mermaid of the Sun and Moon" seems to have not been released in 2023. This movie has too many problems.

At this moment, Li Mu received text messages from Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and it happened that David also called.

"Boss, I just received the news that Pattinson and Stewart are getting married in the second half of the year, and we have been invited to witness it."

David was very happy, but he didn't expect that a series would actually lead to the marriage of a couple.

"Haha, I just received the news too."

Li Mu smiled and said, even the location has been chosen, it is the place where the two got married in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 1)", Esme Island in Brazil.

"I think this is simply the best promotion for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)", which will definitely improve the box office of this last part. The perfect and romantic real plot is combined with the fantasy plot of the movie."

David slowly said that in his opinion this was an excellent publicity opportunity, and it was also good for the two male and female protagonists.

Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry. It wouldn't matter if these two people could really make it happen. However, the problem was that they didn't make it at the last moment.

Such publicity may backfire.

"David, I advise you to give up this idea and just follow the normal process. Fans have been waiting for the last movie for a long time, so there is no need to rely on external help. It's not very good if someone else's wedding is used for publicity."

"Okay, boss, listen to you."

David still feels a bit pity. This is a really great opportunity. The two of them are almost consistent with the plot of the movie. They fell in love and got married.

The offensive of "Painted Skin 2" is ready to go.

The industry has also paid great attention to the film, and many media outlets have published articles touting it.

"Painted Skin 2 will be released on June 6. It has no Hollywood rivals before and after it. Coupled with the film's star cast, brand advantages and publicity offensive, it may become the best domestic film at the box office this year." This makes Wuershan It's a bit stressful, after all, everyone is optimistic about it, and it would be really embarrassing if it doesn't do well at the box office in the end.

"Don't panic, Mengying Media is behind you, what are you afraid of?"

Li Mu chuckled and said that he had watched the finished film and there was nothing wrong with it, and the results were not much different.

"Director Li, that's what I said, but I'm feeling uneasy."

Urshan said with a smile.

"Okay, let's get ready for the premiere tomorrow, your home venue."

Li Mu patted his shoulder and waited for him to visit the class after the premiere.

Liu Yifei has been waiting for a long time, and she calls every night asking questions.

At the premiere, on the red carpet, Wu Ershan, Zhou Xun, Jiao Enjun, Zuo Xiaoqing and others received the guests.

Among the several large posters standing upright, the one with Zhou Xun's white face resembling a human being and a monster is the most attractive.

Every premiere of Mengying Media's blockbuster film always feels like a film festival, and the media seems to have returned to the Shanghai Film Festival last week.

Li Mu did not have Liu Yifei to accompany him, so he could only come alone.

Zhou Xun and Zuo Xiaoqing, one wearing a black dress and the other wearing a red dress, seemed to foreshadow tonight's movie.

"Director Li, long time no see."

Li Mu lives a simple life and has not attended recent premieres or film festivals, so it is naturally unlikely that he will meet Zhou Xun.

"Haha, you are not as good as you. I heard that your "Cloud Atlas" will be released in North America at the end of this year. Congratulations."

This year is also Zhou Xun's "breakout year", first "The Magician", then "Painted Skin 2", then "The Wind Listener" and "Cloud Atlas".

Model worker!

"Come on, Director Li, I'm so famous, and "Cloud Atlas" has been rated R (restricted), so the box office is naturally limited. I'm afraid no one will come to me after filming this movie."

Zhou Xun cried bitterly.

Rated R (restricted), that is, those under 17 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to watch.

In other words, films of this level contain "adult" content: more sex, violence, and other scenes and swear words.

"Don't worry, there will be a chance."

"Then we have to wait until Director Li comes to see me."

Zhou Xun looked expectantly.

"Your intention is very clear."

Li Mu laughed loudly, then said hello to Jiao Enjun, Zuo Xiaoqing, Shu Chang and others before entering the hall.

Han Sanping had something to do this time, so he sent his vice president here.

Li Mu took a closer look and saw Yu Dong and Wang Changtian chatting in the front row.

"Director Li!"

Huang Xiaoming is dealing with people at the moment. This "good old man" in the circle will not let anyone go.

Seeing Li Mu coming, he quickly came over to say hello.

"You recently became an investor. How do you feel?"

Li Mu asked casually. Huang Xiaoming has slowly stepped out of the limitations of an actor and started to move towards the capital route.

"Hey, it's just a small fight, but it can't be compared with Mengying Media. Didn't the box office of "Piff" just come out?"

Huang Xiaoming didn't take it seriously. Whoever invests can still make money without losing money.

However, if you invest your own money and play the leading role, it is at least a bit cost-effective, but the box office appeal is not reflected.

"If you have a good script, you can also work with Mengying Media."

Li Mu smiled.

"Thank you, Director Li." Huang Xiaoming's eyes lit up and he thanked him quickly.

"you are welcome."

Wang Changtian actually didn't want to talk to Fatty Yu at all. He was too arrogant recently.

Talking to him is a bit infuriating.

He turned around and looked around, seeing that Li Mu was already here, and waved quickly.

"Mr. Wang and the others are calling you, so I won't interrupt them for now."

Huang Xiaoming was very discerning and immediately stood up and left the scene when he saw it.

Not many people from the theaters came. We had held several movie screenings for theaters before, and basically all the big theaters had watched the movie.

They just sent representatives to support the premiere.
