Chapter 382 Reading Comprehension

Han Sanping still had lingering fears when talking about this co-production. Fortunately, the General Administration saw the signs and strangled it to death.

Otherwise, these co-productions, which sell sheep's heads as dog meat, would be scolded by domestic audiences.

It has also harmed domestic domestic films, causing domestic films to reach a dead end.

Now that "Iron Man 3" was bought out by them, it came in as a approved film.

"DMG doesn't have much say, which is normal. It seems that the only May Day slots are "No Man's Land" and "Iron Man 3". This time, there is actually a vacuum in the May Day slot. It's really rare."

Li Mu thought about the movies that will be released recently. During the three days of May Day, if it were not for the release of "Iron Man 3", there would really be no new movies released. And in this part of the end of April, except for "No Man's Land", the other There is none that can be beaten.

It's no wonder that "Iron Man 3" has been pushed up. With such a big market, "No Man's Land" can't finish the film schedule and can't take advantage of it.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei had dinner at Han Sanping's house and chatted for a while before returning to the villa.

"Why did Director Han suddenly ask us to eat? We should go home."

Liu Yifei asked in confusion in the car.

There is a big difference between a family dinner and eating out.

"Director Han is probably about to retire. Let's pave the way for his daughter and get to know people in advance."

Li Mu thought about it and realized that Han Sanping seemed to be reaching retirement age soon. The two of them had been working together for eleven years. Time flew by so fast.

Liu Yifei counted her fingers and calculated that Han Sanping, who was born in 53, is now 60 years old.

"I really didn't realize it, but I'm already 60."

Liu Yifei muttered.

Li Mu smiled lightly and said nothing.

"No Man's Land" made another success on Sunday, directly reaching 3200 million, breaking 6000 million in the first two days of the box office, and winning the box office championship that week.

And with the May Day holiday coming soon, the box office may go even further.

Major theater chains have continued to increase their film schedules to 35%.

At this time, news came from the industry that Zhang Yi was about to join LeTV.

Ever since the "brotherly relationship" with Zhang Weiping broke out, Zhang Yimou's whereabouts have been a mystery. Is he working alone with his daughter? Join Wanda Pictures?

There are various speculations, and major companies have also extended olive branches.

Unexpectedly, it ended up in the hands of LeTV.

"Senior brother, are you sure?"

Li Mu made a phone call to say hello.

"It's OK. If you buy individual stocks along the way, you can be considered an individual shareholder. LeTV doesn't have many restrictions."

"Pity."

Lu Zheng was a little emotional when he learned the gossip.

Wanda Film and Television is also trying its best to win over Zhang Yi, but unfortunately Wanda has already attracted Chen Guofu. Zhang Yi's departure from Zhang Weiping means that he has been holding back the golden bell for a long time. He goes out to look for things that fly on the grass, and it is easy to cross fire in creation.

This may be one of the reasons why Wanda, which is not short of money, failed to recruit Lao Mouzi.

Lu Zheng thought carefully for a while, but it was useless to say anything now.

I want to find a movie for Jingtian directed by a big director, and I have to see if there are other opportunities.

And because LeTV and Zhang Yimou had not fully announced the details of the cooperation at this time, Li Mu did not ask more questions. Some of them may be commercial secrets.

The two chatted briefly for a while and then hung up the phone.

May Day is coming soon, and "Iron Man 3" has ended the dominance of "No Man's Land". The two major movies account for 75% of the film schedule during the period.

However, the domestic special version of "Iron Man 3" attracted many netizens to complain.

"Fan Binbin starred in a Hollywood blockbuster, but did not go abroad."

"In "Iron Man 3", the scene between Wang Xueqi and Fan Binbin seemed to have been tuned to the wrong channel on the TV, and then it was tuned back one minute later."

"What on earth are Wang Xueqi and Fan Binbin doing? They have gone to the wrong crew! The strong vitality of Chinese films has given hope to film practitioners around the world, but when it comes to cooperation, whether it is Chinese actors going abroad or Hollywood movies coming in, communication must be at a spiritual level It’s not superficial.”

"To be honest, the roles played by Teacher Wang and Miss Fan are a bit redundant and seem blunt."

This special edition really didn't arouse the audience's favor. It felt like it was a forced plot that was meaningless.

In the end, even CCTV ridiculed the two of them on Weibo, saying that the scene between the two seemed like soy sauce.

However, according to the data reported by theaters, the attendance rate of "Iron Man 3" is very scary, with almost every venue being sold out.

With only two movies to choose from, the choice doesn't seem to be difficult for viewers.

The first-day box office of "Iron Man 3" directly exceeded 1.3 million yuan, surpassing "Gravity" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", becoming the highest-grossing single-day box office movie in the history of the domestic market.

Han Sanjing smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

"Director Han, fortunately I listened to your and Director Li's suggestions. I may make a lot of money this time."

Wu Bing, president of DMG, said with emotion in the China Film Office that buying out domestic distribution is not cheap. If it weren't for Han Sanping's suggestion and Li Mu's optimism, they really wouldn't have done this.

Han Sanping was quite calm at the moment, as if he didn't seem to notice, and said calmly:

"It's not enough to make a big fortune, just make a small profit. I have to thank Director Li for this, he's right."

"Yes, then I have to thank you personally. It would be great if Director Han could ask Li Guo out for a meal anytime."

Wu Bing took advantage of the situation and said.

"talk later"

How could Han Sanping not know Wu Bing's little thoughts, so he just wanted to take this opportunity to build a better relationship. During the May Day period, the last batch of nominees for Cannes finally came out. "The Tuner" met the deadline and was shortlisted for the main competition unit in the final list.

This year, two domestic directors will be selected for the main competition in Cannes.

The judges of this year’s main competition unit are not simple either. In addition to the chairman of the jury, Spielberg, the jury members include Li Bian, Nicole Kidman, Christoph Waltz and others.

It can be said to be a gathering of famous directors and stars.

This year's Cannes is very exciting.

Naturally, the country is also full of expectations. It is rare that two directors have been selected after two years.

Li Mu also stopped by to chat with Gong Li, Liu Dehua, and Wang Zhi, and asked them if they were free to go to Cannes together.

Of course, no one would give up this good opportunity unless they really couldn't get away.

All three of them agreed to go to Cannes next week.

"Come with me to Cannes next week. I need a female companion." After Li Mu put down the phone, he hugged Liu Yifei behind him.

"You have an actress in your crew, and it doesn't have to be me."

Liu Yifei was full of joy, but she said it very arrogantly.

"Well, Leonardo's "The Great Gatsby" is the opening film of this year, so he probably has to be there too."

Before Li Mu finished speaking, Liu Yifei interrupted Li Mu.

"Stop talking, I have to keep an eye on you."

When Li Mu saw this, he couldn't help but find it funny, and couldn't help but kiss his little face.

But this caused Liu Yifei to complain: "Don't make trouble, the makeup you just applied will be messed up again later."

"It doesn't matter whether it's changed or not. Anyway, it's just a celebration party, and the media won't come much."

Li Mu said indifferently.

Tonight is the celebration party for "BJ Meets Seattle" to break 5 million, and Liu Yifei specially put on light makeup to attend.

"That's different. I'm one of the protagonists tonight."

Liu Yifei said proudly.

"Yeah."

The celebration party for "BJ Meets Seattle" was definitely not as crowded as the premiere, but those who were free still came over for a visit.

Xue Xiaolu, Liu Yifei and the main creators were smashing ice bricks with hammers on the stage.

I don’t know if the quality of the ice bricks is too good. Several people were stunned but they didn’t smash it.

"Does this mean that 5 million is not a top dollar?"

Li Mu laughed in the audience, and the media laughed along while recording it.

"Director Xue, will there be a sequel to "BJ Meets Seattle"?"

reporters asked, a question commonly asked about movies that are box-office hits.

"I'm not sure, it might happen, but the sequel I make will definitely not be a continuation of the same story, but a brand new story."

Xue Xiaolu said lightly.

Zhang Jiayi and Zhao Liying were both surprised. After all, if a sequel were to be filmed, the original cast would definitely be more popular.

Especially the two people who have enjoyed the benefits of the movie are unwilling to give up this sequel movie.

A movie worth over 5 million yuan will give them a huge boost.

"It seems that Director Xue still intends to make a sequel."

Li Mu heard something different from the words of the interview just now. Apparently Xue Xiaolu had this idea.

Liu Yifei was a little surprised. She looked at Li Mu and Xue Xiaolu. Didn't Xue Xiaolu just say she wasn't sure? Did she hear it wrong?

"I still can't hide it from Director Li. I have this idea, but it may take a long time."

Xue Xiaolu smiled.

"That doesn't matter. If you have an idea and slowly polish it, it's worthy of the audience. That's the right way."

Li Mu knew that Xue Xiaolu was not a prolific director and was quite ambitious about movies.

The two previous works both refer to reality to varying degrees.

"Ocean Paradise" brings the living conditions of autistic patients into the public eye, and reveals the loopholes in the system through the dilemma of finding a way out for autistic patients.

"Beijing Meets Seattle" expresses the embarrassment and helplessness encountered by "children born overseas" and new immigrants through the love between the warm-hearted uncle Frank and the "mistress" Wen Jiajia.

By referring to real problems and providing imaginative solutions in the film, we can see the ambition of director Xue Xiaolu.

Inevitably, the third movie also means something.

"Ha, why don't I know?"

Liu Yifei, who looked confused, felt that she was not in the same channel.

"Think about it, Director Xue said just now that if a sequel is made, it will definitely not be a continuation of the same story, but a brand new story."

Li Mu explained to Liu Yifei amusingly, "If you don't have an idea, how could Director Xue express it like this? Think about it again."

"Okay, so this is your art of language and the art of understanding language."

Liu Yifei finally came to her senses. Now she has to do reading comprehension when speaking.
