Chapter 352 What a vicious vision

"Old Xu, it's going to explode, it's going to explode." Wang Baoqiang was hugging Xu Zhuo and was overjoyed.

“Currently, the ratings on Time.com and Douban are both good, around 8 points, which should be stable.”

Huang Bo checked the film's word-of-mouth data.

Xu Zheng was still a little unbelievable, "It really exploded?"

"It's definitely going to explode. If you don't believe it, let's go to the cinema and see it." Seeing that Xu Zheng didn't believe it, Wang Baoqiang was going to take him to the cinema to see it.

"Go to some movie theater, go to publicity, let's go, go immediately."

Xu Zheng immediately took the two of them to work.

The next day, Li Mu and Xue Xiaolu jointly held the launch conference of "The Tuner" and "BJ Meets Seattle" in the Imperial Capital.

Gong Li, Liu Dehua and others were all present, and the stars were shining brightly.

In comparison, Zhang Jiayi, Zhao Liying, Wang Zhi and others are much bleaker.

"Director Li, "囧囧" grossed 3900 million at the box office (including zero-point screenings) on the first day it was released, setting a record for the domestic comedy with the highest box office on the first day and the best performance for a film opening on Wednesday. Are you right? Did you already think of it when you were betting?"

Reporters all asked about the topic of "囧" at the launch conference, which made Li Mu dumbfounded.

"This is the launch conference for "The Tuner" and "BJ Meets Seattle." Normally, you don't ask questions that are not related to the movie, but in view of everyone's curiosity, I will only answer three other irrelevant questions."

Li Mu spoke to the microphone on the stage and said slowly, "I can only say that I didn't expect the reporter's question just now, but it can bring a pure comedy to the audience and be recognized by the audience. Mengying Media produced this film The effort was not in vain.”

Another reporter asked.

"The audience's praise for "Lost in Thailand" is also increasing, and there is even a situation where "everyone is a troll". What does Director Li think of the latest movie's use of trolls to maintain its reputation?"

"Our water is real water, and it is not advisable to ask trolls to maintain our reputation."

"The production of "The Tuner" and "BJ Meets Seattle" has officially started. Li Mu, Xue Xiaolu and the leading actors are all present."

"Li Mu joked about the water problem: 'Everyone's water is real water'."

On the day after the start-up, Li Mu led the team to the filming location.

"囧" continues to maintain its popularity, and theaters have tacitly agreed to slowly increase the proportion of films scheduled.

Hong Kong.

On the day of filming, Cheng Long came to visit the team. It was a coincidence that it was a coincidence.

"Director Li, long time no see."

Cheng Long said with a smile and hugged Li Mu.

"Are you holding an event here?"

When Li Mu saw Cheng Long's appearance, it seemed that he didn't come to visit the class specially.

"Isn't "Zodiac" about to be released in a few days? There's a lot of pressure. Director Li's "囧" is coming very fast. If I don't work harder, the theaters won't let me film."

"Don't worry, even if other theaters don't schedule movies, Mengying will squeeze it out." Li Mu patted Cheng Long on the shoulder. "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was a barely passable movie made by Cheng Long in his later years.

"Hahaha, I will remember that."

"I heard that he was injured again while filming this movie?" Li Mu read media reports some time ago and found that Jackie Chan suffered a lot of injuries when he challenged the extreme pulley in the movie.

"When filming, you will inevitably get injured. I used to ask myself, 'Does it take so much effort to make a movie?' But if we don't work hard, how can we compete with Hollywood? We can only rely on punches to hit the flesh, and now I'm used to it. "

Cheng Long sighed.

Cheng Long chatted with Liu Dehua and Gong Li for a while before continuing with his promotional activities. .

Li Mu also agreed that Li Mu could attend the premiere of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" in Xiangjiang.

As for the world premiere in mainland China, Li Mu definitely doesn’t have the time.

The filming of "The Tuner" was surrounded by heavy security cordons.

But it still couldn't stop many fans from watching, especially Liu Dehua's home stadium.

"Boss, why don't we find a time to visit the class and see if "Ip Man 3" can be put on the agenda?"

Huo Wenxi suggested.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to him and we'll have a meal together when we wrap up."

Two days ago, foreign media reported that the annual annual selection of Time Magazine in the United States was recently announced. The content of the selection covers all walks of life, and the selection is based on sample surveys from all walks of life.

On the 14th, the results were announced.

For the film and television industry in 2012, Time Magazine selected the 10 best films of the year, the 10 worst films of the year, and the 10 most popular TV series.

It is worth mentioning that there are three Chinese directors among the top ten films, one is Li Mu, one is Ang Lee, and the other is Chen Kexin.

Li Mu's "Gravity" ranked second behind the literary film "Amour" directed by Michael Haneke.

Li Jian's "Life of Pi" ranked fourth.

Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts" ranked ninth.

Although it is not a big selection, it has attracted a lot of attention in the country.

Because there happened to be works by directors from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Baodao that were shortlisted.

This is a beautiful story.

"It's awesome, but I think it's totally fine for "Gravity" to be ranked first."

"The first one, "Love," seems to be this year's Cannes Palme d'Or film."

"I'm wondering if this year's Oscars will be a battle between Li Mu and Li Bian."

Netizens are talking a lot.

"Director Li, congratulations!"

"congratulations!"

Liu Dehua and Gong Li gave congratulations one after another.

"It's just a small prize. Are you ready? There is a little difference between the blind person in "The Tuner" and "The Blind Detective"."

Li Mu asked with a smile.

"It's absolutely no problem. I've also been getting piano lessons from a teacher these days. If you don't believe me, I'll play one for everyone."

Liu Dehua is full of confidence.

Li Mu did not follow the routine: "Okay, let's play a song and let everyone see Brother Hua's piano skills."

"Yes, play one." "Hahaha"

Gong Li and everyone laughed.

Liu Dehua was not shy, he sat down directly, touched the keys lightly with his hand, and started playing.

The eyes seem to be dull, completely imitating the way a blind man plays the piano.

"Sister Li, how are you, your male lead partner?" Li Mu asked softly.

"There is no pressure. The better Andy performs, the more excited I am."

Gong Li is also true.

"Okay, that's fine."

"Teacher Fan Wei, I have to trouble you again this time."

To Li Mu's right, Fan Wei has already put on makeup, a real estate tycoon who has become a superstar.

"a piece of cake."

Fan Wei waved his hand. This scene was not difficult for him.

"Okay, let's get started."

At the same time, "BJ Meets Seattle" has also entered the filming stage in the imperial capital, and a small part of the film was shot domestically.

"It is estimated that we will have to transfer to Macau in the next two days. After that, more than 90% of the scenes will be in Vancouver, Canada and New York, the United States. Do you want to go to Xiangjiang to visit the class?"

Xue Xiaolu said with a smile.

Liu Yifei's cheeks suddenly turned red, but she shook her head slightly: "Director Xue, you will laugh at me, no need, the movie will only be shot for two months anyway."

"Hahaha"

The box office results of "囧囧" also came out on the second day, which was 4100 million. It made 8000 million in two days, which stunned some other production companies.

"This is more exaggerated than robbing money."

The bosses of some small production companies couldn't help but curse.

According to the news released by Mengying Media, this investment is only over 3500 million.

It took in a box office of RMB 8000 million in just two days, on Wednesday and Thursday.

This can't help but silence people.

China Film.

"You're wrong, you're wrong." Han Sanjing muttered several times.

He really didn't expect that a little-known director could achieve such results.

To be honest, before Li Mu made the bet, no company was very optimistic about this movie. If it were not produced by Mengying Media, it would have been ignored.

"The eyes are really poisonous."

Han Sanjing couldn't help but sigh, this comedy is really as Li Mu said, easy to explode.

And looking at the popularity on the Internet, it seems that this is not the end, weekend is the point where this movie explodes.

Hong Kong.

In the bar lobby.

The crew is ready.

At this time, extras of all ages were scattered in every corner, and Sophie was chatting enthusiastically with the guests. The guests were all listening attentively to Liu Dehua playing the piano.

Fan Wei held a glass of wine in his hand and came to Liu Dehua who was playing the piano.

"It sounds great, very good."

"Thank you, sir." (Everyone applauds)

Fan Wei suddenly shouted to the people in the bar:

"He's going to be a big star, a star! You have talent, not everyone has talent."

"."

Li Mu sat in front of the monitor and looked at the picture in front of him carefully without saying a word.

The actors continue to act.

I have to say that these scenes went by very smoothly. After all, the excitement has not yet come, and both Andy Lau and Fan Wei have been acting for decades, and they all passed it off once.

"Keep one."

To be on the safe side, Li Mu would basically keep one extra line.

"We are diverted to Macau and will go to Vancouver in three days."

Li Mu received a message from Liu Yifei in the evening.

"Ok."

After Li Mu replied, he thought about it and gave him a call.

Liu Yifei was wearing pajamas and was in the hotel, holding her knees with her hands, waiting for Li Mu's reply.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I replied, I received a call.

The eyebrows immediately formed a crescent moon.

His voice sounded a lot sweeter.

These days, the film schedule of "囧囧" is getting higher and higher, rising from 34% to 45% over the weekend. Other films have been squeezed out of their living space.

"Mr. Qin, the film schedule is too low. This has seriously affected the box office of "The King's Feast"."

Lu Xun could only seek help from Xingmei, and his movie schedule dropped to less than 10%.

Tan Hong really didn't want to talk to him, but it was a pity that the matter of "The King's Feast" had to be settled after all, otherwise the losses would be huge.

"Singmei will slightly improve the film schedule in its own theaters, but you can negotiate for other theaters yourself."

Tan Hong hung up the phone directly. There was only so much he could do. As for asking other theaters to increase their film schedules, it would be equivalent to ruining people's money.

It is a bit difficult to improve even in one's own theater chain. After all, this is a theater chain that cooperates with China Film Group, and the interests of the partner must be taken into consideration.
