Chapter 377: Code within Code

The 2012 Directors Guild Commendation Conference announced six nominations for Film of the Year, Director of the Year, Actor of the Year, Actress of the Year, Screenwriter of the Year and Young Director of the Year.

"1942" led the way with 6 nominations, with Zhang Guoli and Li Xuejian both shortlisted for the Actor of the Year nominations.

"囧囧" received 5 nominations, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang were shortlisted for Actor of the Year, and Xu Zheng was also shortlisted for two important awards: Actor of the Year and Director of the Year.

"Director Li, will you go to the Directors Guild Commendation Conference in a few days?"

Xu Zhuang ran over and asked.

This is his first award as a director, so he is naturally full of expectations.

Seeing Xu Zheng like this, it was hard for Li Mu to attack him, but he had to mention it a little bit, lest the greater his hopes, the greater his disappointment.

"I won't go. It's not like I haven't been there before. If I don't have a work, I'll make people dislike it. By the way, as far as I know, Feng Xiaogang's "1942" is very popular among the judges."

"Director Li, who dares to dislike you?"

Xu Zongtan smiled and said, "Hey, I know, I'm just going to join in the fun. If you, Director Li, go too, I'll be more confident. After all, I'm still a newcomer."

Xu Zheng seemed to understand on the surface.

But Li Mu seemed to still have illusions when he looked like that. After all, he might always be able to win either Film of the Year or Director of the Year.

"I don't know if Lao Ning will be able to come back in time. If he can, we can let him and you go there together. But among you, a billionaire box office director, which one of you is not inferior to you?"

Li Mu smiled and said, knowing that neither Li Mu nor Zhou Xingchi will go, Xu must be the one earning the highest box office.

"That's what I say, but..."

Xu Zheng, a newcomer, also knows that there are no awards, no qualifications, and no good teachers. The only backgrounds may be Li Mu and Ning Hao.

At the same time, "BJ Meets Seattle" won the box office championship for the week with a box office of 4 million in four days.

The film schedules of major theaters skyrocketed. Surrounded by several major blockbusters, the film schedule reached 28.8%.

Leave "Die Hard 5" and "Resident Evil 5" behind.

Another case of domestic films triumphing over Hollywood blockbusters.

Major domestic media rushed to report on it.

""BJ Meets in Seattle" is a classic case of domestic romance films. Following "囧 in Thailand" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", domestic films are becoming increasingly mature and are not afraid of Hollywood."

“Hollywood blockbusters have been sluggish in the country, but domestic movies hold up half the sky at the box office.”

"."

I have to say that the beginning of this year gave the industry some reassurance.

Domestic films are gaining momentum.

"it is good!!!"

Han Sanping was full of surprises in the chairman's office of China Film Group Corporation.

Not to mention that "BJ Meets Seattle" has China Film's investment, this year's trend alone makes him a little overjoyed.

As if he remembered something, he called Li Mu directly.

Li Mu, who answered the phone, was also a little surprised.

"What's the matter, Director Han? I don't have any new movies to shoot recently, and I don't have a quota."

Han Sanping suddenly said angrily: "Is it possible that I only come to you to ask for the quota?"

"That's true nine times out of ten." Li Mu complained slightly in his heart, but then he coughed and said, "That's not true."

"This year, the General Administration is very satisfied with this start. Of course, the tasks have also been adjusted. We must strive for 220 billion yuan. Your movie is very crucial."

"I understand, Director Han wants to ask when "Edge of Tomorrow" will be released, right?"

Li Mu instantly understood what Han Sancoming meant.

"It's pretty close. Do you want to come over and take a look at the schedule?"

Li Mu said very confidently: "No, I don't need to watch the movie schedule."

At this time, it was Han Sanping's turn to complain in his heart, God doesn't care about the schedule. Which movie in the past has no schedule?

"Director Han, I want the National Day slot, no problem. The Lunar New Year slot is too far away and the audience can't wait." Li Mu said with a smile.

"Then why don't you take off the summer vacation? August is just the right time, and you can also enjoy the protection time for domestic films in disguise."

Han Sanjing said in confusion.

"Isn't this a personal matter in August? Besides, "To Youth" is already planned to be released there, so I won't be involved in this one. It's too crowded."

Han Sanjing thought for a while, maybe that's okay, and asked casually: "What's the matter that can be bigger than "Edge of Tomorrow"?"

"got engaged!!!"

"???What?"

Han Sanjing felt that he didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.

"got engaged."

"Unknowingly, you are no longer young." Han Sanping suddenly felt a little emotional. When the two first collaborated, Li Mu was still at Nortel.

So many years passed in this trance.

"Remember to send me a copy of the invitation."

"Then I have to ask you. I'll hand it over to you after I finish it." Li Mu promised, "By the way, Director Han, have you and DMG jointly bought out "Iron Man 3"?"

Li Mu got the news from David. Since "Iron Man 3" could not get the co-production share, and DMG and China Film were interested in buying it, the two parties seemed to have concluded a deal.

"Isn't this what you said last year? I mentioned it to DMG, and they were a little hesitant. But after knowing it was your suggestion, DMG made the decision without hesitation. You have more respect than me."

Han San commented with a smile.

"Don't blame me if you lose." "Then you have to make another movie to get more share."

"Director Han, I still have something to do here, so I'll hang up first."

Before Han San commented, he heard Li Mu's words, and then the phone beeped.

Apparently the other party has hung up.

Han Sanjing was not annoyed, but laughed.

Benefiting from the popularity of "BJ Meets in Seattle", Zhao Liying is also in the limelight. After all, as a movie heroine, she has naturally benefited from the movie's soaring box office. Recent announcements are one after another.

Film appointments also come one after another.

"It's really a good bet."

Zhao Liying recalled that she had made the right move when she switched from Huayi to Xingmeng.

From then on, the journey to stardom started to go up step by step.

With the gradual rise of Zhao Liying, the new generation of actresses has another strong rival.

"What a pity, if this movie is for you"

Zeng Jia said with some regret.

"I might get scolded for my role. The heroine of this movie might be more suitable for someone who is more likable."

Yang Mi has also watched this movie, and I have to say that Wen Jiajia is a relatively annoying character. When she plays her, she may be even more annoying, and it may even backfire.

"I have a feeling that "Tiny Times" should be good too, it just depends on the summer vacation release."

Yang Mi also has high hopes for this movie, which is considered to be the most expensive female-led movie she has ever taken on.

Tang people.

"Zhao Liying is really lucky. This role is really good for you."

Cai Yinong looked regretful.

Although the role of Wen Jiajia is not likable, Liu Shisi's performance is okay.

"Who would have thought that when Director Li was casting, Director Xue was also doing the same."

Liu Shisi could only lament her bad luck.

"But your main task now is to cooperate with the crew of "Fuji Detective" to promote it."

Cai Yinong didn't worry too much, because "The Detective" starring Liu Shisi, Li Lienjie, and Wen Zhang will be released in two months.

This is something that the Tang people worked hard to achieve.

"But I just don't know when Yang Mi's movie will be released, otherwise I can give it a try."

Cai Yinong was obviously still angry with Yang Mi. He had tricked her in the first place, and he still thinks about it to this day.

Liu Shisi was silent.

These days, apart from following up on the later stages of "The Tuner", Li Mu spends the rest of his time writing the script for "Jurassic World".

According to the time set by Li Mu and Universal, the movie was released in 2015, exactly 22 years after the release of the first "Jurassic Park". The time setting Li Mu also directly set the time of "Jurassic World" 22 years after the end of the first part.

As for the second and third parts of "Jurassic Park", they are not in the world view of "Jurassic World".

"Why are you writing a script and watching a movie at the same time?"

Liu Yifei held a potato chip and ate it crunchily. She opened the study door and looked at Li Mu in confusion.

Then she watched a movie, and a great white shark suddenly appeared, startling her so much that she almost spilled her potato chips.

“Is this Spielberg’s Jaws?”

Liu Yifei seems to have some impression that this is a very old movie, but it is still not out of date.

"Well, I just had an inspiration and thought about watching "Jaws" again."

Li Mu smiled.

"What inspiration?" Liu Yifei was a little curious.

"What do you think if you feed sharks to dinosaurs?"

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to Li Mu holding the potato chips, "What kind of dinosaur eats sharks?"

"Mosasaurus! Overlord of the Mesozoic Ocean!"

Li Mu recalled the scene, and then replayed the scene of the probe in "Jaws" again. He had a clearer idea in his mind, and he wanted to draw the storyboards immediately.

"Jurassic World" is the beginning of a new series. It needs to determine the structure, world view and various dinosaur characters. Of course, the most important thing is to arouse fans' feelings for Jurassic, so that the film can win at the global box office. A huge success.

Mosasaurus will appear as an important character in "Jurassic World". Li Mu will not give too many roles, but every time it will be exciting. This is the mission given to this dinosaur by the movie, to become the queen of Tyrannosaurus Rex. , the new absolute main focus.

As for the theme of human nature, Li Mu sees it as a food chain cycle.

As a high-end creature in the biological chain, human beings are absurd and fragile in the face of the unknown, and they are and will continue to pay an unpredictable price for their blind confidence and progress.

The collision between dinosaurs, who were once the top of the biological chain, and humans, who are now the top of the biological chain, is the biggest tone Li Mu has set for the entire Jurassic World.

Liu Yifei seemed to be attracted by the movie "Jaws" and didn't leave after sitting down.

"It's unbelievable that this is a movie from 1975."

Liu Yifei said with emotion.

Although both of them have seen the movie, after watching it again, they found that Jaws is still a classic among the classics in the shark series.
