Chapter 396 Directing the Spring Festival Gala? Jurassic

"The good thing is that the box office is very high, but the bad thing is that the film industry doesn't seem to recognize it."

Zeng Jia saw the online confrontation with mixed emotions.

The box office was surprisingly good, but the reviews seemed to be surprisingly bad.

On the Douban movie website, 50% of people gave it one star, and the other 50% gave it five stars. The strange bar chart also revealed how polarized the film's reputation is.

"But the fans love it."

Yang Mi saw the key. Young fans seemed to like the movie, which greatly increased her Weibo followers.

At the same time, Ning Hao was very depressed at home.

"Look, Director Li still sees far,"

Xing Aina also knew what Ning Hao was depressed about, but the data said it all. The first-day screening rate was as high as 45.01%, which also broke the first-day screening record of 40.34% for domestic films held by "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

“It’s so damn magical, using narration and static images instead of dialogue and static language. There is no main line, gorgeous scenes, empty character souls, and the abuse of close-ups. It’s like a wedding photo studio VIP suite fashion blockbuster. How did it get such a high box office?"

Ning Hao murmured to himself, this is really amazing.

Moreover, there are a lot of people criticizing "Tiny Times" on the Internet, and its reputation can be said to be extremely bad. As a result, the box office has reversed.

"In my opinion, it's all thanks to the fans. Just like the movies you and Director Li make, there will always be people who pay for the movies with your names on them. It's just that your fans are not as good as Guo Jingming's."

Xing Aina saw it more clearly.

"."

These words made Ning Hao even more depressed. Why am I inferior to Guo Jingming? He couldn't help but defend himself:

"My fans are more sensible, not as good as the fans of his book, not as much as Guo Jingming."

"Yes, yes, I made a mistake."

Xing Aina was too lazy to argue with Ning Hao and quickly admitted her mistake. This unfulfilling argument made Ning Hao feel no pleasure at all.

China Film.

Han Sanping was also dumbfounded as he looked at all the news about the most popular movie "Tiny Times".

"Another "Fuchun Mountain"."

Han's three comments were funny but also a little worried. If all domestic movies are like this, how can they do it? Although the box office is good, the popularity of such a movie is not a good thing for the development of the film industry, but a disaster.

However, a number of film critics and ordinary viewers on Weibo made endless complaints about the film, denouncing it as empty in content and showing off beauty and materialistic desires.

"Tiny Times" is still singing a triumphant song in the market. After three days of release, the box office has exceeded 3 million.

At the same time, fans of Guo Jingming are duking it out on Weibo with a group of already-famous filmmakers.

"It's so lively."

Li Mu came to CCTV, picked up his mobile phone and watched while walking, laughing.

Zhang Yi, who was coming, seemed to see Li Mu walking slowly in front of him, smiled, and hurried forward.

Li Mu heard the rapid footsteps and looked back subconsciously.

"Senior brother."

Li Mu quickly put down his phone.

"I'm in a good mood."

Zhang Yimou asked with a smile. He just saw Li Mu looking at his mobile phone with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I was just reading Weibo. Isn't it quite lively now? It's about "Tiny Times"."

Li Mu explained.

Zhang Yimou also heard about it, and he was quite surprised by it.

"I really can't understand the movies nowadays. Although I haven't seen them, but based on the comments made by the filmmakers, I am afraid that the films will fail, but the box office is getting higher and higher."

Zhang Yimou shook his head. He felt that he was not keeping up with the times.

"Characteristics of Fan Films."

"It's just like the "Twilight Saga" produced by your North American company, right?" Zhang Yimou can understand. After all, he has been in this business for decades, so he naturally knows the power of fans.

"Hey, it's almost the same, but the filming of "Tiny Times" is indeed not as good as "The Twilight Saga." The series produced by my North American company was still shot with great care."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Ning Hao, after watching "Tiny Times" at the Shanghai International Film Festival a few days ago, complained to me a lot, saying that it was shot like a PPT."

Zhang Yimou laughed loudly when he heard this.

"By the way, senior brother, are you interested in the Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Horse?" Zhang Yimou was invited to the symposium, and I guess he actually had some ideas.

And if CCTV were to choose a candidate, Zhang Yimou, who has experience in directing the Olympic Games, would be the first choice.

"I'm interested, but I don't have time. I have a movie on hand and it will start shooting in September."

"You're not going?" Zhang Yimou asked back, "If you apply, there's a high chance that you'll be the one to come this year. Or are you saying you're not interested in directing stage programs?"

"I can't spare any time," Li Mu said helplessly.

"No, you have plans for a new movie recently?"

Zhang Yimou was a little surprised. As far as he knew, Li Mu should have no new projects in the near future.

"Haha, we made a deal with Universal before, and the release date of the movie has been roughly determined, so we have to work hard to catch up."

Zhang Yimou now became interested: "Universal asked you to make a movie. Which one will you direct? Is it the "Jurassic" that has been postponed for these years?"

Zhang Yimou knows a lot about these things than ordinary people, and there are really not many choices for movies that Universal can hire Li Mu to make.

There is a high probability that Universal will not hire a literary film. After all, Li Mu can make it himself, and the cost is so high. Calculating this, it can only be Universal's top commercial IP. It is easy to guess. Moreover, he and Spielberg have occasionally contacted each other and know that the other party has been working on a sequel to this movie this year.

Li Mu was very surprised: "Senior brother, your guess is really accurate."

"It's true."

Zhang Yimou nodded with emotion, "When this movie came out, we were shocked. We didn't expect American movies to be so advanced."

Zhang Yimou fell into memories.

"I had just finished filming "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" back then. Spielberg's movie had a really shocking impact on me. I didn't expect that one day we would be filming the sequel ourselves. You are under a lot of pressure."

"You have motivation only when you have pressure, right?" Li Mu said with a relaxed look. He knew from the moment he took over that this movie would be somewhat stressful for him. After all, fans around the world are looking forward to it.

Whether the dinosaurs that were popular around the world can be reproduced in his hands is currently unknown.

"Director Zhang, Director Li."

The two people who had just walked into the CCTV hall from the parking lot suddenly heard someone calling them from behind.

"The sound seems familiar."

Li Mu murmured in his heart, and it sounded like Feng Xiaogang's voice.

Sure enough, Feng Xiaogang walked over quickly.

"Director Feng."

Li Mu and Zhang Yimou turned around and said hello.

"Haha, from a distance I look like you two, and it's true."

Feng Xiaogang chuckled.

Li Mu noticed that Feng Xiaogang was holding a document bag in his hand, and he seemed to be well prepared.

At the social director invitation symposium, there were many famous directors and big names in the entertainment industry, including Li Mu, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jigang, Zhao Benshan and others.

After seeing Feng Xiaogang coming with a document bag, Li Mu glanced around. Some people seemed to be prepared, while others were empty-handed, including Brother Chen Kai.

Before the symposium started, Li Mu had a rare moment of gossip and leaned over.

"Senior brother, you don't plan to run for election either?"

Li Mu's words revealed a lot of information.

"I'm not interested, but as you said, it seems I'm not the only one who doesn't plan to run."

Brother Chen Kai smiled lightly.

At the end of the social director invitation symposium, it was actually the director's bidding. Li Mu, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others did not have time, which disappointed some CCTV leaders.

Fortunately, Feng Xiaogang is interested.

Feng Xiaogang's unique humor and good reputation are still valued.

News of this social director invitation symposium also spread after it ended.

"Feng Xiaogang directs the Spring Festival Gala, and we stay together."

"It is rumored that directors such as Zhang Yimou and Li Mu were unable to participate in the Year of the Horse Spring Festival Gala due to time constraints. Feng Xiaogang may be the director of the Spring Festival Gala!"

Perhaps the bidding results have not yet been announced, but Feng Xiaogang gave an unclear response to whether to direct the Spring Festival Gala:

"Brother is just a legend!!!"

However, Huayi is very positive: if Director Feng directs the Spring Festival Gala, Huayi will fully support it.

With these words, no money was spent, but the stock price increased a lot.

However, some netizens are still a little disappointed.

"I think it would be better for Zhang Yi to direct, and I'm looking forward to it."

"Director Li is also pretty good. Isn't it Li Mu's credit for the 2012 Spring Festival Gala? I heard that the visual effects were the suggestions given by Li Mu."

"If it were Feng Xiaogang, I would have to accept it reluctantly."

While netizens were still discussing the rumors, a report from foreign media spread back to China. The report was taken from the official website of Universal Pictures.

Universal Pictures announced that internationally renowned director Li Mu has confirmed that he will direct "Jurassic Park 4" and the series will be renamed "Jurassic World". The film will be released in 3D in 2015.

Director Li Mu has directed many world-famous films such as "The Pursuit of Happiness", "I Am Legend", "2012", "The Martian", and "Gravity".

Director Li Mu won the Best Director at the 85th Oscar and the Best Director at the 66th Cannes National Film Festival.

Universal has listed almost all of Li Mu's achievements in his life, just to tell everyone that Universal invited the world's most famous directors to create a global Jurassic IP.

The news sent Jurassic fans around the world into raptures.

They have been waiting for the new Jurassic movie for almost 11 years, and they finally have reassurance.

Although Spielberg is no longer the director, the replacement is also very reliable.

On major social media around the world, Li Mu's support rate is very high, and people are begging him to shoot quickly. They can't wait for this movie.

It was even more sensational in China.

"Nima, did I hear that right? It's Jurassic?"

"Hell, isn't this the movie I bought and watched on pirated discs when I was in junior high school? I watched it whenever I had nothing to do, and when I had nothing to do, I finally got the sequel, which was filmed by my own director."

“Awesome plus!!!”
