Chapter 399 Chapter 398 Brother Chen Kai’s Please

Liu Yifei was still overjoyed, holding her cell phone to check various reviews of the movie and some media investigations.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly pressed the answer button.

Li Mu glanced at her in surprise.

"Thank you, Director Xue."

"Hey, it's okay."

Liu Yifei waved her hand subconsciously, as if to signal the other person on the phone not to pay attention.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu asked after seeing him hang up the phone.

"Director Xue wasn't in the Imperial Capital, so he didn't have time to come to the premiere. After he found out about the midnight box office, he called to congratulate him."

Liu Yifei walked up behind Li Mu, pinched his neck, and moved her head forward involuntarily to see what Li Mu was doing.

What comes into view is the current attendance data of theaters calculated by Luyu, which does not seem to be high at the moment.

The average attendance rate is about 5%, but if you consider that today is Friday and it is still daytime, this attendance rate is very amazing.

"So high."

Liu Yifei said in surprise.

"Haha, it's normal. For the mainland, the youth film genre has not yet formed a relatively stable film genre in countries and regions such as Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, and it is still relatively lacking.

So everyone is very enthusiastic.”

Li Mu couldn't help feeling that the soil for youth films in China is really good.

"By the way, don't forget about the theater activities tomorrow."

Li Mu reminded.

"I know, I will never forget it."

Liu Yifei swore the promise.

But starting from 9 p.m., the attendance rate began to soar, basically reaching % or full capacity.

Although most theaters across the country have "full movie schedules for "Youth"", it is difficult to get a ticket in Changsha, Changchun, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Hangzhou and other places. Some theaters are full due to The venue caused congestion in ticket purchases.

Some netizens even lamented on Weibo, "It's not a holiday and I went to buy "Youth" three hours early today, but there were still only the last and third rows. How cool it is."

The next day, Saturday.

Since Mengying Media was also closed on weekends, Li Mu naturally went to bed a little later.

Even Liu Yifei also fell asleep soundly.

Covered with a quilt under the air conditioner, sleeping is extremely comfortable.

In the middle, Li Mu seemed to hear a bell ringing, but it was quickly extinguished.

Just when Li Mu was still sleeping soundly, the quilt was suddenly lifted open.

A chill came over him, but Liu Yifei's distressed voice could already be heard in his ears.

"Wan Duzi, Wan Duzi, you're going to be late."

Li Mu was sleepy and opened his eyes for no apparent reason, only to see Liu Yifei looking at the screen of her phone in annoyance.

"What's the matter?"

"It's all your fault. Why didn't you remind me that I have an event today? I'm going to be late by the minute."

"???"

Li Mu felt that he had been wronged a little, but he had no way of explaining it and silently accepted the blame.

"Then why are you still hanging around here?"

Li Mu said speechlessly.

Then Liu Yifei got ready eagerly.

After being tortured like this, Li Mu no longer felt sleepy, so he might as well just get up.

On the way to brush my teeth, I took a look at the media reports and found out that the box office for the first day had already been released.

"Youth" directed by Liu Yifei will be released nationwide on July 7. According to incomplete statistics, the film's box office on its first day has exceeded 26 million, surpassing the first-day box office of "囧" of 4600 million, setting a new record in the history of 3500D movies. The film’s first-day box office record.”

"not bad."

Li Mu admired silently, and then after washing, Li Mu poured himself a glass of milk, took a few pieces of bread, and sat at the dining table to eat leisurely.

"Would you like to eat some before you go?"

On the way, Li Mu had seen Liu Yifei passing by several times.

Liu Yifei seemed a little moved, maybe because her stomach was calling, but she looked at the time and refused:

"You'll have to be late if you eat. Forget it, I'll just endure it."

After simply tidying up, Liu Yifei drove out in a hurry.

Li Mu glanced at the time and muttered to himself:

"Isn't this neatly tidied up? Why do you usually take so long?"

"Liu Yifei and the main creators landed at Dream Cinema, and the fans were enthusiastic"

""To Youth" Liu Yifei answers questions, she is not willing to direct anymore for the time being!!!"

"Tong Liya thanked Liu Yifei for the invitation. The role of Shi Jie is very different from the gentle and demure roles she has played in the past. It is a new experience for her."

"When Liu Yifei faced the engagement question, a sweet smile appeared on her face and she was unwilling to answer too many details!!!"

Liu Yifei's on-site interview transcript and event photos quickly spread throughout the Internet.

At this time, Han Sanping was a little annoyed.

"Lao Wang got a big deal." Han Sanping said to himself. When Li Mu asked him to choose first, he still chose a more experienced director. It seemed to be more reliable, and the actual box office was also gratifying.

But the first-day box office of "To Youth" seems to tell him that the potential of this movie seems to be higher, and it may be more than one and a half stars.

The industry has already given predictions based on the box office on the first day, and the total box office will be no less than 5 million.

In view of the current attendance situation, major theater chains have once again increased the film schedule of "To Youth".

Saturday, $4500 million.

Sunday, $5200 million.

"To Youth" was released for three days, with a cumulative box office of 1.43 million yuan.

At this time, Wang Changtian was happy, and the box office was a big hit. Although he only had 20% of the investment amount, he couldn't bear the fact that the movie had high box office and high profits, and he would get a lot of it when the time came.

The capital market responded. The stock price opened higher and moved higher that day, directly closing the daily limit.

"To the point, to the point."

Wang Changtian couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and was extremely happy.

But then he was a little troubled because at the premiere that day, he boasted so much.

"How can I give away only the expensive ones and not the right ones?"

Wang Changtian is thinking hard.

"Sissi, the box office of this new movie is really strong." ”

"I'm not a directing major, I'm a photography major. I'm not orthodox."

Ning Hao argued.

"Oh, you want to rebel." Xing Aina said with a smile, "Is it because the other faction has so many people that you can't beat them and want to join?"

Ning Hao ignored Xing Aina and was still polishing his new script. As Xing Aina said, the new generation of directors are more powerful than the others, so he has to work hard.

However, at this time in Mengying Media, two big directors who were very orthodox in the industry were discussing the matter.

Li Mu was also a little surprised. After all, Brother Chen Kai, who had been living at home recently and almost turned into a homebody, actually came over.

Brother Chen Kai has been very low-key recently, rarely attending events, and only showed up at the last symposium.

"I have something to ask of you this time."

Brother Chen Kai took the initiative to explain his intention to come.

"???"

Li Mu was even more curious now.

"I'm going to try 3D technology to shoot a new movie. Tiancai is the only one I trust in China, otherwise I would have to go to Hollywood to hire a 3D special effects team."

Brother Chen Kai smiled lightly.

"no problem."

Now that Brother Chen Kai has spoken, Li Mu will naturally not shirk it. He probably knows which movie Brother Chen Kai is planning to get.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of the 3D special effects in Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" and Chen Kaige's new work. He could only tell the post-production team to work harder on the special effects.

"What kind of blockbuster are you planning to make this time, senior brother?"

Li Mu asked consciously.

"Have you read the novel "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"?"

Li Mu nodded. He had actually read this little book. It had a huge layout and many characters. It was rated as "a group portrait legend like "Water Margin"".

"I plan to buy this martial arts novel, hire a front-line leading actor and a behind-the-scenes team, promote it to the international market, and release it in mainstream theaters in North America."

Brother Chen Kai has not concealed his ambition at all. Wuxia is indeed a powerful tool to open up domestic markets in North America.

"I don't know how to make science fiction movies. I can only rely on martial arts to see if I can open up some situations."

Brother Chen Kai's confident words made Li Mu feel ashamed.

"Senior brother, are you planning to be the screenwriter yourself this time?" Li Mu asked subconsciously.

"Don't worry, I hired a group of professional screenwriters this time, and I plan to co-write the script with them!"

"What's the difference between that and writing your own script?"

Li Mu couldn't help but complain in his heart. Brother Chen Kai was involved, so the screenwriter had the right to speak. In the end, it was carried out according to Brother Chen Kai's own ideas.

It's like Jiang Wen's "One Step Away".

The news that Brother Chen Kai went to Mengying Media spread quickly, and after Brother Chen Kai left, he did not hide it.

After Li Mu, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Jiang Wen each have new film developments this year, Chen Kaige's new film has finally surfaced.

Chen Kaige's new film is confirmed to be directed by a film of the same name adapted from the novel "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain". He is currently trying to form a team and is expected to start filming at the end of this year.

This film is the first true martial arts film directed by Chen Kaige, and it is intentionally shot with 3D technology, supported by Tiancai special effects.

"To Youth" still sweeps the movies in the schedule, but it will soon face the challenge of the Hollywood blockbuster "Pacific Rim".

At this time, the promotion of "Your Name" quietly began. Unlike the promotion of other movies, the promotion of "Your Name" was very low-key.

However, it still aroused nostalgic feelings among netizens.

Many netizens who had watched this movie expressed their intention to watch this animated movie again.

Of course, it is mainly for couples, especially those who saw this movie back then, and they expressed that they must rewatch it.

“I went to see it with my girlfriend back then, and now I go see it with my wife.”

"I envy the ones upstairs. Unlike me, I still watch it with my girlfriend, but it's just a different one!!!"

"The person I watched "Your Name" with back then is no longer in contact with me. I really want to watch it with her again!"
