Chapter 373: Pressure or Pressure

"Li Mu's new film "The Tuner" is wrapping up in Europe."

The media news hadn’t even been reported for long before Li Mu received a call from Spielberg.

This made Li Mu a little surprised. After all, Spielberg's call made Li Mu think of nothing else besides the "Jurassic" that was about to be filmed later.

Is it possible that he is here to push forward the progress? After all, the script has not been completed yet.

Li Mu thought secretly in his heart.

"Li, I heard that your movie is finished."

Before Li Mu could reply, Spielberg's voice continued, "Come to Cannes."

"What?" Li Mu dug his ears, as if he didn't hear clearly.

"I mean, how about sending the film to Cannes for exhibition."

Spielberg laughed.

"What are you doing?"

"Gilles Jacob has always invited me to serve as the chairman of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival. You just happened to accept "Jurassic". I have nothing to do for the time being, so I agreed to him. Speaking of which, my fate with Cannes has been almost 40 years. "

Spielberg sighed.

Spielberg's relationship with the Cannes Film Festival can be traced back to 1974's "Rampage," which won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival that year.

But more often than not, Spielberg's films are screened at film festivals as out-of-competition units.

"It may not be too late. This year's Cannes is a bit early."

Li Mu pondered for a while. Originally, he planned to go to Berlin. Although the original short film won the Grand Prix at Cannes, Li Mu could not guarantee that he would be able to complete the post-production process before Cannes. Li Mu went to Venice and thought of sending it to next year. of Berlin.

But Spielberg's invitation obviously disrupted his plans.

"We are willing to reserve the last spot for you, as long as it is delivered within the final deadline."

"Okay, then I'll fight for it."

Since Spielberg meant what he said, Li Mu naturally wouldn't brush off his kindness.

"So you're going to Cannes?"

Liu Yifei also heard Li Mu's call, blinked her big eyes and asked, but she knew that Li Mu originally planned to let Berlin go.

"Time is a bit tight, let's give it a try."

The post-production period of a little more than two months was indeed a bit rushed, but "The Tuner" is not a movie that particularly needs post-production.

隔天，戛纳组委会就宣布，第66届戛纳国际电影节将于今年5月15日——5月26日期间在法国戛纳举办。

Spielberg will serve as host of the main competition unit, and female director Jane Campion will serve as president of the short film jury and the Film Foundation.

"Lu Yu, how are you preparing for the premiere and subsequent screenings of "BJ Meets Seattle"?"

Li Mu asked.

Currently, Mengying Media’s movie is about to be released, and it’s Xue Xiaolu’s movie.

"Mr. Li, Director Xue has personally inspected the premiere and found that there are no problems. The invitation letters have been sent out and arrangements have been made for the screening cities and theaters."

Li Mu nodded.

The March schedule is not easy. Hollywood blockbusters "Resident Evil 5" and "Die Hard 5", as well as the domestic film "The Chef" are all competing for the schedule.

However, the film market is heating up again this year. According to statistics from the China Film Distribution and Exhibition Association, from January to February this year, the number of viewers nationwide exceeded 1 million, and the total box office was about 2 billion, which was much higher than in 1. Of course, this is thanks to "Thailand" "囧" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

This has made the industry full of expectations for the upcoming war in March.

Many industry insiders believe that with the arrival of two Hollywood blockbusters, "Die Hard 5" and "Resident Evil 5: Retribution", the total box office in the first quarter of this year will exceed the 50 billion mark.

Obviously, I am not particularly optimistic about "BJ Meets Seattle".

Just then, news came from Hollywood.

Christopher Nolan, the Hollywood director who is famous all over the world for his "Batman" series and "Inception", has recently confirmed to direct the science fiction blockbuster "Interstellar".

The film's script was written over several years by Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan and Li Mu.

The male and female leads of the film are yet to be determined. According to Nolan, Liu Yifei will play the second female lead, and the production budget is US$1.65 million.

I have to say that every name revealed here is somewhat enviable.

Moreover, Nolan directed the script, and the three of them worked together to complete the script. What kind of script can we hire three people to do? It would be easier to say if it was the two Nolan brothers.

"I have to say, I want to see it, Nima, when will this movie come out?"

"Hell, Li Mu co-wrote the script and Nolan directed it. I remember "Inception" was like this. What's the next "Inception"?"

"I finally know what Yifei Liu meant when she said at the Oscars that she would soon go to Hollywood to film. Another super A-level production."

Han Sanping started ordering without stopping.

The first sentence: "Is there any excess share of "Interstellar"?"

If Han Sanjing were in Mengying Media, he would definitely see Li Mu rolling his eyes. I really think this investment share is just cabbage.

"Director Han, not only are Warner and Paramount fighting over the share of this movie, Legendary Pictures has also made a deal, and Nolan's own company is involved in the production. Do you think there will be any left?"

Li Mu said calmly.

Just look at the actions of Legendary Pictures to see how popular movies made by directors like Nolan are.

Li Mu learned from Hollywood rumors that Legendary Pictures gave up its cooperation plan with Warner Bros. on "Superman vs. Batman" and instead followed Nolan, a great director with guaranteed box office, to invest a lot of money in "Interstellar."

Together with the movies combining Superman IP and Batman IP, they have given up. This is because they are more optimistic about Nolan's "Interstellar".

You must know that the successful case of "Avengers" is just ahead. Obviously DC also plans to learn from Marvel and create a DC alliance.

Han Sanping was a little disappointed, but it made sense after thinking about it.

"What a pity, can't you vote?"

Han Sanping asked subconsciously.

"Hehe, the top screenwriters in Hollywood can get a small commission. Didn't we have a quarrel a few years ago? Screenwriters at my level, let alone Nolan, fought for me. Even if they didn't fight for it, they still had to give me some. "

Li Mu said with a smile, mosquito meat is better than nothing.

Han Sanping suddenly felt a little envious of foreign screenwriters. Compared with domestic screenwriters, it is true that domestic screenwriters are a bit shabby. Not only are their fees low, they are not even able to participate in the subsequent share of the film.

"You also gave her the role of Yifei, right?"

After Han San commented, he suddenly felt that he had asked in vain. After all, this should be obvious.

"No, Nolan saw that Sissi was talented and talented and had extraordinary performances, so he insisted on giving her a role."

"Just keep talking!!!"

Before Li Mu could finish speaking, a beeping sound came from the phone. Apparently Han Sanping was too lazy to listen to Li Mu's nonsense and hung up directly.

"It's so boring."

"Boss, do you want to send out the draft as usual? The news of Liu Yifei's appearance in "Interstellar" is very popular now, I'm afraid the effect of sending it out now will not be very good."

Fan Binbin's publicity team is asking.

"As usual, be careful with your words."

Fan Binbin thought for a while, originally he wanted to compete with Li Binbin's "Resident Evil", but now "Resident Evil 5" is about to be released in China, and Li Binbin is following the team all over the world, which is so impressive.

I didn't expect that a large number of press releases would be released soon, and I actually encountered the news of "Interstellar". The most important thing is that Liu Yifei will participate in the film.

Soon.

"Fan Binbin will join "X-Men: Days of Future Past" to play a sexy role, and will cooperate with the new Oscar-winning actress "Little Jennifer" and the best actor Hugh Jackman to show off his acting skills."

"It was revealed that Fan Binbin has joined the "X-Men Origins 2" series and will play the role of "Blink", whose super power is teleportation"

"In addition to this "X-Men", this year Fan Binbin will also star in the Hollywood fantasy blockbuster "Sun, Moon and Mermaid", a two-pronged approach to Hollywood, which is worth looking forward to."

I have to say that Fan Binbin’s studio’s ability to write drafts is unparalleled.

However, netizens who have done something good this time have discovered that this draft seems to be much more normal, without using some special words, such as Yanya, Liyao, etc.

You must know that some time ago, a good-faith netizen used "Fan Binbin to suppress" as a keyword to search for news, and unexpectedly reached 269 articles.

Netizen "Picking King" even wrote a special Weibo post titled "Actresses Overshadowed or Overpowered by Fan Bingbing in Those Years".

No matter what kind of event you attend or what movie you act in, you will only be overwhelmed by her beauty whenever you meet Fan Binbin.

From Hollywood stars to foreign supermodels, from mainland China's top A-list actresses to fledgling actresses, Fan Binbin has overwhelmed one and two, and the actresses whom Fan Bingbing has surpassed can circle the earth three times in total.

"There is no way, it can't be suppressed. You have to see who is playing "Interstellar""

"It's so funny, I finally saw that Fan Binbin's press release was sent out normally!"

"No, if you look carefully, you can see that "Resident Evil 5" is here. After all, the production cost of "X-Men" is as high as 2 million U.S. dollars. It’s about 5 US dollars, but it doesn’t mention “Interstellar”, otherwise it would still be a bargain.”

"The interpretation upstairs is very careful. You are doing reading comprehension, you can see all this, you are a master."

"Sister, the meaning of this draft is very obvious."

Li Xue smiled disdainfully. At the juncture of "Resident Evil 5", if it weren't for Liu Yifei's "Interstellar", the most watched actress currently would be Li Binbin, who played the role in the Hollywood blockbuster.

Fan Binbin kept this draft until now, obviously he didn't want to have a fight.

"A character who doesn't know where he is scheduled to be, or how many seconds of footage he has, can fool the fans."

Li Binbin was also disdainful. After all, her role as Ada Wang in the movie was pretty good.

Paul Anderson, screenwriter and director of the Resident Evil series, was also very positive about his performance as "Ada King" and also made it clear that she would continue to participate in "Resident Evil 6".
