Chapter 329 Embarrassment

"How many days will you stay?"

After the crew finished work, Liu Yifei asked Li Mu.

"Let's stay for four or five days. We have to attend the premiere of "Search" later."

"Okay, I'll put part of the scene up for filming. You can help me take a look. I'm afraid I won't be able to film it well."

Liu Yifei said briskly.

"Huh? You don't plan to advance the kissing scene or anything like that, do you?"

Li Mu made a guess and chuckled. Only this part of the scene was a little difficult, and the rest was nothing.

"You are so smart. You guessed it right. Come on, watch a movie with me."

Liu Yifei dragged Li Mu's hand.

There is no doubt that it is "Painted Skin 2" again. Li Mu has watched this movie twice.

That's the bad thing about being a filmmaker.

Always watch a movie multiple times.

In the cinema, the attendance rate was really good, and it seemed that there were mostly couples.

Liu Yifei and Li Mu were sitting in the corner.

Maybe it's really suitable for girls to watch the movie. Li Mu saw that Liu Yifei was very involved in watching it.

Li Mu looked calm and fed himself popcorn in a very even manner.

As the heartwarming ending of the film aired, Liu Yifei seemed thoughtful in the dimness, and turned to ask Li Mu curiously: "Well, if you were the male protagonist and I asked you to choose, you would choose a good-looking fox demon. Or a princess who truly loves each other? Choose skin or soul?"

Li Mu suddenly felt that the popcorn was no longer fragrant. The popcorn in his hand stopped in mid-air. He blinked his eyes, opened his mind, and looked at her strangely:

"Can I have both?"

Liu Yifei: "."

"No, you have to choose one."

"What about you?" Li Mu still didn't answer first, "Suppose you like both the appearance of one boy and the personality of another boy, which one would you choose?"

Now it was Liu Yifei's turn to start to get entangled.

She lowered her head, plucked her fingers, and thought carefully for a while, then hesitantly said: "Can't these two be combined?"

Li Mu immediately nodded and agreed: "I think so too."

Liu Yifei always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it.

At the end of June in Jinling, the breeze was blowing hot, and the street lamps were lit, illuminating the twists and turns of the streets and alleys, and the smell of human fireworks was blowing towards our faces.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei, who had just arrived at the mall, were preparing to go back to rest, which was not far from the hotel.

It was close to 10pm.

But after just two steps, I passed by a braised meat shop. Everything in the shop was almost sold out, with only three pig trotters left.

Seeing Liu Yifei stop, Li Mu was a little confused, because Liu Yifei didn't like eating pig's trotters.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you see that there is only one little girl in this store? It's almost ten o'clock." Liu Yifei said in a low voice.

"I guess it was at my own store or at a relative's house. The boss had something to do and was out for a while."

Li Mu took a look at the little girl's age and estimated that she was only in elementary school.

Thinking of this, Li Mu stepped forward.

At this time, the little girl looked at the two people with quite vigilant eyes.

No, we are just wearing masks, we are not bad people, Li Mu thought to himself.

"I bought these three pig's trotters." Li Mu just finished speaking.

The little girl's tears began to flow down uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei was confused and quickly comforted her: "You can get off work early today, don't cry."

The little girl cried one after another and said: "I get off work in ten minutes. My second uncle said that I can eat the unsold pig trotters."

After saying that, the little girl cried louder.

"Forehead"

Li Mu and Liu Yifei looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

No wonder the little girl kept looking at him warily. It turned out that she was protecting food.

"Stop crying, can I give you three pig's trotters to eat?"

Liu Yifei immediately spoke to remedy the situation.

"really?"

This trick really had a miraculous effect. The little girl stopped crying immediately and her big eyes blinked, expressing great anticipation.

"Her second uncle's must have eaten pig's trotters as well. Why can't she look chubby?"

Li Mu whispered, this is really strange, he is obviously a snack.

"Hahaha, what do you think?"

Liu Yifei laughed and cursed.

The little girl was not polite, she picked one up and started chewing it, her cheeks bulging.

The two hadn't seen each other for many days, so naturally there was a lot of romance that night.

The most beautiful thing in the world. Light and slim fit. When you wake up from bed under a fragrant curtain, your hair and makeup are drunk with wine, your face is red and the apricot blossoms are blooming in spring.

Take off your clothes and have unlimited indulgence. Cut off the willow waist, gently remove the flower heart, and the peonies are blooming with dewdrops.

The next day, Li Mu was still on the set, and the two kissing scenes today were all in the evening. At this time, the first-day box office of "Painted Skin 2" has been released.

Media coverage was timely.

“继零点场票房破600万创下华语影史新纪录之后，于6月28日上映的电影《画皮2》继续高歌猛进，以首日票房破7000万的成绩创华语影史首日最高纪录。

The total number of films scheduled nationwide is expected to increase by more than 5%, exceeding 40%, and about 1.9 films are expected to be scheduled nationwide. "

Although it is difficult for movie sequels to win the approval of most people, especially when the first film has done well, and any flaws will be magnified infinitely, the film industry still likes to reuse existing films.

This is not difficult to explain. Box office revenue is an important factor.

Of the 10 highest-grossing movies of all time, 6 are now sequels. More important than the size of these revenues is their reliability.

No one knows whether an untried IP will be successful, but the success of a sequel is basically guaranteed.

There's no mystery why sequels are so successful; they satisfy a strong demand from audiences.

There's nothing like what the film industry calls "pre-awareness" to arouse a moviegoer's desire to watch a movie.

The anticipation of a known plot is part of the fun of watching a movie and provides the audience with a ready-made topic of conversation.

Of course, the Douban score of "Painted Skin 2" is indeed low. The score of 6.9 is considered to be very low among movies produced by Mengying Media.

But I couldn't bear the love of female viewers, and almost all the positive reviews were written by female viewers.

The theme of "'skin'" and "mind", or "spirit and flesh", has a lot of room for exploration. From this perspective, the "Painted Skin" series is on the right track. It is much smarter to use themes to continue than to use stories to continue. "Painted Skin 3" and "Painted Skin 4" can also be produced.

The "007" series can be made into dozens of films (including many bad ones), but this is the awesomeness of Hollywood commercial films.

If the success of "Painted Skin 1" lies in exploring the human nature of demons, then "Painted Skin 2" is even more profound.

You may not admit it, but I think "Painted Skin 2" explores a very meaningful philosophical question, that is - "Who am I?"

The exchange of skin and heart may be a very clichéd theme, but "when I change a part of myself, I am still not myself", this question can indeed arouse the audience's resonance and reflection.

I say "Painted Skin 2" is good not because I haven't seen better movies. I just feel that the path of domestic commercial films is not easy, and "sequel" films are even more difficult. "Painted Skin 2" deserves encouragement. "

It has to be said that women's films are often so keen on discussing philosophical implications. Li Mu also watched it and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. After all, she is the one who sings more about her own films.

But people in the industry are jealous.

The sequel is a big hit. If it keeps filming, wouldn't it be a gold mine?

In the evening, the crew began to prepare for two kiss scenes.

In the first scene, this slightly shameful kiss scene took place when they were in college. The scene was still beautiful, with the male and female protagonists cuddling each other and talking about love under the glowing green tree.

In youth school dramas, the biggest standard is the kiss scene with a little action, and it is a shallow and tender kiss.

It is impossible to make use of long shots in this play, and there is no next step behind it.

If you shoot a close-up shot, it will be easy to see the difference in position, which will not make everyone emotionally involved, and it seems that it will not be able to sublimate the emotion.

And there are only a few kissing scenes in the whole drama. If these were gone, it wouldn’t be a first love.

After all, this is a love affair between college students, not high school or junior high school.

The first kiss should have no lust, nor should it be a ceremonial kiss. It should be a little emotional. The heroine fell in love with the hero and said she would marry him after graduation.

It is natural and not artificial, which can be said to be a sublimation of the realm of this drama and a proof of the relationship between the male and female protagonists.

At the same time, huge suspense is set up as to whether the two will get married after graduation.

This plot that connects the previous and the following is unlikely to be borrowed.

"Be careful with the lighting. Don't make it too bright. Use a weak light to shine on the moss-covered trees."

Liu Yifei was still directing.

It has to be said that the advantage of female directors is to detail some details and even have a personal and subjective romantic color.

"Okay, all units are ready, Action!"

When the scene started, Li Mu also watched it carefully.

The male and female protagonists cuddled each other and talked about love under the glowing green tree. The atmosphere gradually increased. Now that the atmosphere was in place, it would be unreasonable not to have a kiss.

It's just that the heroine looks a bit scary like this. With her eyes open and staring straight at the hero's face, it feels like it's about to change from a youth romance movie to a revenge movie.

Li Mu wanted to laugh but couldn't.

"Crack!"

Liu Yifei shouted impatiently, "Come here!"

This was a drama, and Li Mu also went over to listen.

"Zishan, when you open your eyes, you don't look ferocious."

As soon as Liu Yifei said this, everyone burst into laughter. On the set, everyone was embarrassed to laugh, but now they no longer have such scruples.

"Sorry, Director Liu."

Yang Zishan said awkwardly.

"You just keep your eyes open and keep him in your heart. Don't let the two of you become enemies. Be gentle and tender."

"understand?"

"I understand, I've adjusted."

"Okay, let's continue."

Liu Yifei is ready to start filming again.

Li Mu nodded, that's about it. That's about it. The rest depends on the performance of the actors.

Chen Xiaozheng: "Why do you have to open your eyes wide every time I kiss you?"

Zheng Wei's answer can only be said to be very girly.

"Because I want to keep it in my heart."
