Chapter 341 Villain

"Boss, good news."

David called excitedly.

Li Mu had fallen asleep for a while, but was woken up before he could fully fall asleep.

"You better have good news."

Li Mu said angrily.

"Oh, boss, I'm sorry, I was so excited that I forgot about the time difference."

David apologized, "The current advance ticket sales figures for the final chapter of 'The Twilight Saga', 'Breaking Dawn (Part 27),' are % more than 'Breaking Dawn (Part )'."

Li Mu understands, and it’s no wonder that David is excited. Obviously, the film is very likely to become the highest-grossing film in the series on its opening day, surpassing the US$1.381 million of the previous film and the US$1.428 million of the first film "New Moon" .

"Nothing happened over there Stuart?"

This is an unstable factor.

"Don't worry, they will definitely be an on-screen couple before the movie hits the box office. But Stewart has always received countless threatening text messages, and the content of the text messages is very scary."

David worried that these text messages were from Pattinson’s fans.

Apparently many fans can't forgive her for her cheating.

"What crazy fans." Li Mu said lightly. These fans are the same in any country.

"By the way, I will attend the premiere."

In the last part of the series, Li Mu still has to participate.

There is news in China about Li's long-prepared new film, "Life of Pi," the first 3D new film, which premiered globally as the opening film of the 50th New York Film Festival and received unanimous praise from global media and film critics.

It is considered to be an epic adventure movie with a unique temperament and a large scale, as well as a masterful visual masterpiece.

Obviously, the possibility of introducing this movie is very high, after all, it has not touched the point of review.

"Life of Pi" will be released in North America and China's Baodao on November 11. Netizens directly speculated that the movie will be released during the Lunar New Year.

The audience is looking forward to it.

Lu Xun cursed, "Damn it, there is another competitor participating in the Lunar New Year movie, so what's the point of him avoiding "Painted Skin 2" and choosing the Lunar New Year movie.

Fortunately, Mengying Media's "Thailand" is a small-budget, little-known director, otherwise he would be under a lot of pressure.

"As long as someone is at the bottom, if you can kill either Feng Xiaogang or Li Jian, it will be a huge gain."

Lu Xun smiled sinisterly and said, anyway, the Lunar New Year stage has already begun, and the arrow is ready.

Mengying Media.

"Let's announce the news, "The Tuner" project has been approved."

Li Mu ordered that people have been asking about his project information these days, so he might as well stop hiding it and just announce it.

On the same day, the official website of Mengying Media posted a message, officially announcing that the project of "The Tuner" directed by Li Mu has been approved.

The person who was originally prepared to continue to inquire about the news suddenly became excited.

Mainly in the project approval news, it is clearly shown that the starring roles are yet to be determined, only the director Li Mu, and the producers Li Mu and Han Sanping are certain.

Of course, in Li Mu's movies, except for him, the other producers are just decorations, it's just that the companies participating in the investment have to have a name.

"Li Mu is making a suspense film again after 4 years. The project for the new film "The Tuner" has been approved, but the actors have not yet been selected."

The media have posted the new news in their own entertainment sections.

Lu Zheng's eyes lit up. Jingtian has made several movies in the past two years, and his acting skills have also improved. He was looking for a masterpiece from a great director for Jingtian, and this is it.

Seeing Jingtian's yearning look on his face, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Li's uncle Lu will help you fight for it."

In Mengying Media, Ning Hao opened the office door with a smile.

Looking at him like that, Li Mu knew his purpose without even guessing.

"How is the revision of the "Country Teacher" you wanted?" Li Mu threw the script over and asked casually.

"I don't have a clue. In my imagination, it is probably very different from this novel."

Ning Hao took over the script of "The Tuner" and watched it with interest. Suspenseful scripts are undoubtedly one of the best types of scripts to read.

Besides, it was written by Li Mu.

Li Mu dealt with recent matters and twisted his neck.

"Tsk, no one who wrote this script is a good person." Ning Hao watched with relish.

"This villain has very high requirements for acting skills, so it's hard to find someone."

Ning Hao wished he had melon seeds and nibbled them on the way.

"There's already someone interested in this role."

Li Mu smiled lightly and said, "I don't know if he will accept it."

At this time, Gong Li had indeed received an invitation from Li Mu to play "The Tuner".

"Rebel?"

Gong Li's expression did not change.

The script was not sent together, so Li Mu invited him to have a meal together tomorrow to discuss the character in detail.

She is now accepting a movie, and it is rare to get one in a year. She has high requirements for scripts, but Li Mu's invitation must be treated with caution.

After all, the previous film "Gravity" was still fresh in her mind, and she was heartbroken to miss out on the role of the heroine.

The next day, Liu Yifei dressed up slightly, wearing a not too thick off-white sweatshirt, which was enough to cope with the weather in October.

"You really plan to ask Gong Li to act."

Liu Yifei was very excited. Although the villain was annoying, his performance was the most exciting in the entire movie, and even the male protagonist couldn't compare with it.

"Then you choose one for me?" Li Mu started the car and smiled.

"Emmm, let me choose for you." Liu Yifei was very excited, ready to filter her brain and choose someone.

"How is Wang Lin?"

"No one knows her after ten years of acting. Once Aunt Xue is known to the world, you will probably remember "Love is Deep and Rainy"."

"Yes, I chose the right one."

"It's okay. It's a good choice. What else?" Li Mu nodded.

"There are many more, such as Wen Zhengrong and Yang Xue."

"You must have taken out all the villains from the TV series and filtered them."

Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry. The people Liu Yifei mentioned were mostly villains in TV dramas.

Liu Yifei spat out her sweet tongue, and it was obvious that she had indeed chosen this way.

In the box, when Liu Yifei and Li Mu entered, Gong Li arrived earlier than them and was waiting alone without an assistant.

"Sorry for the long wait." Li Mu said with a smile. There were still 15 minutes before the agreed time. Obviously Gong Li had arrived a lot earlier.

"Director Li, Yifei, I've just arrived too."

Gong Li stood up.

"Sister Gong Li, this is the script." Liu Yifei took out the script from the document bag and handed it over.

"This role is very attractive, but it's a pity that my acting skills are not good enough."

Liu Yifei didn't forget to praise this character.

"Hahaha, with Director Li here, it will happen sooner or later."

Gong Li smiled and took over the script. He was also very curious about Li Mu inviting him to play the villain.

What kind of villain is worthy of letting Li Mu find him?

Li Mu is not worried at all. When faced with such a role, some actors do not want to participate.

This is an extremely classic villain, and she is also a female, which is really rare. Anyway, the whole movie almost revolves around this woman, and almost every plot twist has something to do with her.

Gong Li watched it very seriously. She had hardly made a movie in the past two years, and recently there was only one so-called Sino-US co-production "The Last Queen" that approached her.

Liu Yifei watched the changes in Gong Li's expression with interest, but to her disappointment, Gong Li's expression did not fluctuate much, which made her a little discouraged.

Li Mu snickered secretly.

"Femme fatale." Gong Li closed the script silently and sighed.

“Brilliant, this is a femme fatale.

This heroine needs to portray a femme fatale to the fullest.

Whether it is the gentle and submissive face when facing your husband, the charming and coquettish face when facing your lover, or the sharp eyes and vicious expression when killing someone, all different aspects of your character must be displayed one by one. I need you to express the film in your performance. The theme buried deep inside - Never test human nature, because human nature is the most sinister."

Li Mu said slowly, "Does Sister Li want to accept this movie?"

Gong Li suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It has to be me! It's been a long time since I've played such a hearty character."

"Trust me, you won't regret this choice."

"Congratulations on our first cooperation, let's have a drink." Gong Li proudly picked up the red wine on the table and touched it with Li Mu.

Liu Yifei couldn't drink. After all, she would have to drive back later unless she asked for a driver.

"When is Director Li going to start filming?"

Gong Li asked after drinking all the wine in one gulp.

"It is expected to be around December. Is there any problem with Sister Li's current work arrangement?"

"I have a movie called "The Last Queen" on hand right now. I haven't decided when to shoot it yet, so I have a lot of free time."

"The one produced by Jack Albers?"

Li Mu seemed to have scanned David's email. He had some impression of the name. Albers is a senior film producer in Hollywood. "Gandhi", "Chariots of Fire", "Dances with Wolves", etc. are all Oscar winners. When Li Mu scanned the award-winning film, he naturally remembered it.

But I really have no impression of this movie. It seems that it was aborted or something, Li Mu is not sure.

"Director Li is really well informed."

Gong Li nodded. Not many people in China knew about this movie yet.

When Liu Yifei, Li Mu and Gong Li said goodbye, they happened to be photographed. After all, the three of them had a big goal.

While Liu Yifei was driving back to her villa, someone broke the news online.

"It is reported that Li Mu, Liu Yifei and Gong Li met at a restaurant and had a good conversation. It is suspected that Gong Li will join "The Tuner"."

Word spreads quickly, especially within the community.

When Gong Li and Li Mu met, everyone could make a rough guess without thinking.

Obviously there is a role to be played.

"sister"

Li Xue was very embarrassed and planned to contact Mengying Media to see if she could win the role of the heroine in Li Mu's new movie. After all, Li Binbin could be considered an international superstar now, at least that's what was reported in the industry, and she thought about the opportunity. It will be bigger, and in the end a Gong Li will come out.

Li Binbin was also a little helpless, asking her to compete with Gong Li, but she still couldn't compete at the moment.

She is now somewhat famous in Hollywood for her roles in "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" and "Resident Evil 5", but compared to Gong Libi, she is far from that.
