Chapter 442 "Master's Conversation"

Han San commented that the nickname "San Ye" actually brought him a lot of trouble.

After all, sitting in that position means something different.

For example, when "Three Guns" was released, producer Zhang Weiping publicly said, "What's the 'Third Master'? I thought the 'Mountain Eagle' was coming."

However, Han Sanping's resignation was like thunder in the industry.

This retreat means that the "national team" of the Chinese film industry has ushered in a new era.

"Let's drink together when you come back."

Before Han Sanping hung up the phone, he had made all the arrangements for the dinner.

After Li Mu hung up the phone, the sunset had already set, and the remaining rays of light made the streets a little bright red.

Domestically, apart from Han Sanping's resignation, only Zhang Yimou's "Return" has attracted the most attention from the industry.

“I ordered the Rolex in the car for three months and it just arrived last week.”

Li Mu's faint words immediately made Liu Yifei speechless. Her whole figure was like a deflated balloon. She originally wanted to give her full play, but in the end,
"You are so treacherous, I don't believe you can recite it."

"Cadillac."

David seemed to have thought of something, "I also went to see it, but unfortunately I couldn't understand it. It has something to do with the most famous god in your country."

"Don't worry, after a month, you won't be polite even if you close the car door."

David, who was proud of himself, got out of the car with a big belly. The car was spray-painted in burgundy red paint quite coquettishly.

"After he came back from his career in literature and art, he probably gave this name to himself."

Paired with old-fashioned tones and piano background music, Zhang Yimou's new film gives people the impression of being atmospheric and simple, washing away all the glamour.

At the same time, you can also see that the two veteran actors have superb acting skills.

"By the way, boss, a movie from your country was released in North America last week."

The editing of this trailer is very distinctive. Most of the shots are close-ups of expressions, and Gong Li and Chen Daoming are on the left and right, forming a wonderful echoing relationship.

"That was a month later and this is now."

Li Mu listened to the muffled sound coming from the phone. It felt like a doll at home was probably receiving Liu Yifei's loving fist, and he couldn't help but snicker secretly.

".I'm furious!!!"

This first shot was loud enough to whet people's appetite after watching it.

Liu Yifei is very confident.

"Jurassic World" ended filming in New Orleans and officially entered Universal Pictures' Los Angeles studio to shoot the remaining parts.

David also rushed over to report on the current situation of the company, but mainly to show off the latest car he bought.

"Oh, then you can recite each one and let me listen."

"Return" finally released stills of the leading actors and its first trailer.

David loves his new car so much that he wipes his palms every time he touches it.

Liu Yifei is full of expectations. She likes this type of literary film the most.

"Yeah, I can't recite it, so I never said I could recite it backwards and forwards."

Expectation, gaze, sadness, loss, resentment... A pair of eyes can express a rich heart.

Liu Yifei asked angrily.

The audience cannot see where their gazes fall, and can only stitch together the characters' emotions towards each other through lens connections and their own imagination.

Even Liu Yifei mentioned this movie inadvertently when chatting with Li Mu.

"Recite it like a stream."

I have to say that Americans really like Cadillac, maybe because Cadillac, which was born in Detroit, the automobile city of the United States, in 1902, has always accompanied the growth of contemporary Americans.

"Then let's go to the premiere together then."

However, since it is only a preview trailer, no matter how good the atmosphere is, it is impossible to tell what the outcome will be.

The history of Cadillac also represents the history of American luxury cars.

Li Mu raised his chin and said, "It's not bad."

For movie fans, they are the first impression of this anticipated Chinese-language film of the year.

"The name "Return", I always feel that Director Zhang is not only hinting at this movie."

Li Mu asked about the business. Li Mu was planning to start shooting the movie in the second half of the year, giving Liu Yifei enough time to study it.

"Oh?"

"How's your script reading for "La La Land" going?"

Li Mu said with a smile, this movie title is a bit sophisticated.

Seeing him like this, Li Mu couldn't help but complain.

Liu Yifei transforms into a film analyst.

When David said this, Li Mu naturally guessed which movie it was.

The image of Sun Wukong is the most well-known abroad, and the others are much weaker.

If Li Mu remembers correctly, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" seems to have been bought by North American distributor Magnolia Pictures, a company that specializes in distributing foreign language films, independent films and documentaries.

This publisher is not very powerful.

"How much is the box office?"

"If I remember correctly, the result of the first week was over 7,000 US dollars, mainly because we couldn't understand it."

"It's normal. It's weird if you can understand it."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head. Cultural differences, as well as a meme question and its translated appearance, made it difficult for the joke to resonate at all. "How is the post-production of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay (Part 3)" going?"

"No problem, everything is fine."

At present, Crystal Pictures' biggest focus is on the "Hunger Games" series.

From the perspective of the original work, the third part is slightly longer than the first two, and the capacity is a bit full when made into one part, so dividing it into two parts is the best solution.

Of course, the main reason is to make one more film. After all, the third part of this series is the last one.

This is also similar to Harry Potter 7, which is about 4 points, and The Twilight Zone, which is points or so. They are both taking the last part apart and shooting it to earn more box office.

Perhaps stimulated by Zhang Yi, Jiang Wen was not to be outdone.

The production company also quickly announced the finalized poster for "One Step Away".

On the poster, a pair of beautiful legs wearing red high-heeled shoes are resting on a black pistol. The movie elements of heroes and beauties, action and eroticism, adventure and love are readily apparent. "Director Jiang Wen's work" highlights the strong style in the upper left corner of the poster.

""One Step Away" is scheduled to be released on December 12. The domestic box office is aiming at the record of "Edge of Tomorrow", and it will also be launched in North America to launch an impact on the Oscars."

Jiang Wen directly made bold statements and was very confident in his movie.

The previous victory of "Let the Bullets Fly" made him a little carried away.

"Why do you have such a big face? Keep a low profile."

Li Mu patted his forehead and persuaded.

"Low-key? What are you doing in a low-key manner? Lao Li, this masterpiece of mine combines absurd humor and adventurous romance. It not only depicts a group of heroes in an absurd era, but it is also an epic about great adventurers. It is absolutely wonderful."

Jiang Wen boasted, "If he doesn't award me the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, he's blind."

"God is so blind."

Li Mu muttered secretly.

"You have to come to the premiere to witness my masterpiece."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it then."

Li Mu told him that Jiang Wen felt like he was living in his own world after filming "Let the Bullets Fly." He probably wouldn't wake up until "One Step Away" was released.

The next day, Li Mu was still in the studio watching the staff prepare various equipment.

Shooting in the studio is easy to shoot, after all, all the necessary equipment and equipment are available, and there is no need to carry it every day, which is extremely comfortable.

But it’s difficult to shoot because the actors are almost always shot against a green screen. Sometimes it’s a bit awkward to shoot, just making movements and expressions against a burst of air.

At this moment, the staff handed Li Mu a just-sent envelope with the New York University logo on it.

"Ok?"

Li Mu thought about it and found that he had not had any contact with New York University recently.

Before the envelope was opened, Li Xian's call came first.

"Director Li, have you received the invitation?"

Li's greeting came from the phone receiver.

"I just received it. I'm still wondering. I haven't had much contact with New York University."

When he heard Li Xian's greetings, Li Mu remembered that Li Xian graduated from New York University.

"I would like to invite you and Director Zhang to hold a dialogue on "Chinese Films·China's Confidence". I wonder if Director Li has any spare time. By the way, Director Zhang is coming to New York to promote "The Return". I said to him Okay, now that we can promote it together, it’s up to you, Director Li.”

"Let me take a look."

Li Mu opened the envelope. The title of the invitation letter from New York University read "Masters' Dialogue".

"Sincere invitation."

Li Mu directly scanned the words in front and saw the time below.

On the evening of April 4nd, New York time.

"I'm not sure. I have to take a look at the recent shooting schedule."

Although shooting has become less onerous recently, we still have to take a closer look at the shooting schedule to be sure.

"Then I'll wait for news from you, Director Li."

Li Bian also understood that after all, Li Mu was in the middle of filming, so it was normal for him to have no time, but he still hoped that Li Mu could come and participate.

"Milo, bring me the shooting schedule."

Li Mu greeted the executive director.

"Ok. Please wait for a moment."

Li Mu took the schedule, picked up a pen, and clicked in circles.

"If everything goes well, we can wrap it up by the end of April, which is okay."

Li Mu muttered something, which was pretty much what he expected. When he was arranging the shooting plan, he also replied to Li Jian.

Soon, news spread at home and abroad.

"Zhang Yimou, Li Mu, and Li Yingxiang invited New York University to talk about 'Return' with the masters, and started a dialogue with the theme of "Chinese Culture, Chinese Confidence."

Talking about people's attitude towards suffering and history, how to use the power of culture to examine and melt historical suffering in film works, how to use the power of culture to heal conflicts and anxieties between people, and other topics, and the three directors' Persistence and thinking in the face of the collision of Eastern and Western cultures. "

As soon as the news came out, especially in China, it was even more intense.

"Holy shit, is it true? These three people are going to have a conversation together. This feels even more exciting than a movie."

"Yes, excellent, supportive."

"Thinking of the +1 on the spot, this wave seems to be promoting "The Return" by the way. Is Zhang Yimou going to target the Oscar this time?"

Even the official media forwarded this news, which can be said to be a hot topic.

The American media also focused on reporting it, and the title directly read: "Masters Conversation," three famous film masters at home and abroad thinking about culture.
