Chapter 479 Confirmation of joining
This year's National Day schedule is known as the "most crowded" National Day schedule in history. A total of 2 domestic films including "My Love", "Dear", "Ruffian Hero 14", "Golden Era", and "McDull Me and My Mom" ​​were released together. Covering different genres such as feature films, comedies, biopics, and action films.

At the same time, as many as 9 domestic animated films were released at the same time, which not only far exceeded the National Day schedule in previous years, but was even larger than the 7 cartoons released simultaneously on June st this year.

It's just that some are happy and some are sad. While some films have become the focus of the schedule with absolute advantages, it is inevitable that some works will become cannon fodder.

For example, the difference in first-week box office between this year's National Day releases of "Butterfly Lovers" and "Golden Age" was more than 20 times.

According to incomplete statistics, the National Day box office reached 10.7 billion.

Among them, "The Flowers of the Heart" was the dominant one, accounting for about 7% of the total box office.

As of the end of the holiday on the 7th, the cumulative box office has reached 7.57 million.

However, due to the popularity of the holidays, the box office has gradually slowed down on weekdays, but "Beautiful Heart" is obviously going to hit a billion dollars.

The National Day holiday is over, and "Heart Blossom Road" will also face competitive opponents.

In the middle and late half of the year, four works including "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Son of Zeus: Hercules", "Superman", "Maze Runner" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will be released one after another.

"Tyson!"

"Understood, Director Li!"

As expected, "Guardians of the Galaxy", which was released on the 10th, squeezed out a lot of "Butterfly Lovers" films.

“Better than expected.”

This makes it clear that he needs to be promoted and paid a raise.

"feels good?"

As Marvel's most dark horse superhero movie this year, the film has grossed US$6.5 million worldwide so far.

"Tsk, tsk. I can't say whether this movie is good or not, but the stunts are quite good."

Without the foundation of the popular previous film and no A-list star cast, this non-mainstream superhero movie's performance at the box office and word-of-mouth has been eye-catching since its release.

The next day, Li Mu took Liu Yifei and Zhao Wenzhuo to Hollywood.

Li Mu had bad airway and drank some tea to moisten his throat.

"Work hard and there will be no shortage of animation work in the future."

"When the movie comes out, the animation department will be separated and a company will be set up specifically for management and investment in production."

It ranked first with a nationwide film schedule of 37.37% on the first day, and achieved a box office of 4800 million yuan on the first day, accounting for more than half of the 8300 million yuan box office on that day.

"I'm afraid it's too late for the celebration party."

Ning Hao made a tut-tsk sound, but unfortunately he couldn't take a look.

But the way he sat with his legs crossed, it was obvious that the data of one billion made him feel a little carried away.

"Isn't this nonsense! Which director still thinks that his box office is low?"

Ning Hao didn't care at all, looking indifferent.

Tian Xiaopeng is very excited. This movie is like his own child, and now he is finally growing up.

The box office of "Butterfly Lovers", which entered its second week, dropped sharply to 2200 million on the day "Guardians of the Galaxy" was released, and the cumulative box office has now exceeded 9 million.

"Damn, if I had known that the celebration party would be postponed for a few days, I would have gone too."

Li Mu asked with a smile.

Ning Hao also became interested, and then became a little depressed:

When Tian Xiaopeng heard Li Mu's words, his excitement was beyond words.

".Could it still be me?"

Among them, "Guardians of the Galaxy" should not be underestimated.

"It's just a celebration party. It's just a hammer. We can eat and drink by ourselves while you do your thing."

Ning Hao curled his lips, "By the way, you are in such a hurry to go to Hollywood, do you have any plans?"

"No need to be too formal, most likely it's just a meeting."

Li Mu patted Tian Xiaopeng on the shoulder. Animation was an integral part of his plan.

On the one hand, it will bring continued enthusiasm to the market, but at the same time, I am afraid it will also divert the audience from each other.

There are only a few days left before Li Mu and Liu Yifei go to Hollywood, and Li Mu also took advantage of his free time to watch "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".

Liu Yifei was very excited along the way and couldn't wait to watch the exciting showdown between the two.

"It's not easy. Who are you looking for? Use force to make friends!"

Li Mu looked at the parts that have been produced so far, and the production of this film has come to an end.

Li Mu smiled and immediately went to arrange other things.

"Director Li, according to the current results, the entire production can be completed by the beginning of next year at the latest, and perhaps by the end of the year at the earliest."

Li Mu took a look at the arrangements for the celebration banquet. The current plan is to set it on the 15th, because according to box office data, it is expected to exceed 14 billion on the 10th.

"There is indeed one thing. I plan to hire someone for "Ip Man 3", thinking of making friends through force!"

"Using force to make friends? Zhao Wenzhuo is going to make friends?"

Li Mu is relatively plain. He definitely can't fight to the death anyway, so he probably just sees the trick.

"Understood, Director Li."

Zhao Wenzhuo has a calm face. His face is just like this. He looks upright. He looks like a martial arts practitioner at first glance, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

Li Mu patted his forehead and didn't want to pay attention to this. Rest is the most important thing. After all, the flight time is not short.

Los Angeles International Airport.

David has been waiting here for a long time.

"My dear boss, I miss you so much."

David also wanted to use his fat body to hug Li Mu, but Li Mu avoided him with disgust.

"You make me so sad"

David was very aggrieved.

Liu Yifei smiled happily.

"Crystal, I will be able to watch your performance in "Interstellar" soon."

David's flattery is still so comfortable.

"Thank you!" Li Mu introduced Zhao Wenzhuo to David.

Along the way, David seemed to be very interested in Zhao Wenzhuo's Chinese Kung Fu and asked him all the way.

Zhao Wenzhuo was also sincere and answered all the way. Unfortunately, it was Liu Yifei who was the translator, because sometimes Li Mu was too lazy to pay attention to David.

David had no choice but to beg Liu Yifei to translate for him.

"By the way, Crystal, there is a movie released during the summer vacation in North America this year. You should like to watch it."

David said suddenly.

Li Mu thought for a while and roughly guessed which one it was. Currently, there are no plans to introduce it in the country because this year's quota has been used up.

Liu Yifei looked at David curiously.

"The Fault in Our Stars is a very romantic love story. I highly recommend you take your boss to watch it."

Good guy, David has done enough homework.

“Is it still showing in theaters in Los Angeles?”

If Li Mu remembered correctly, this movie had been released for about three months.

"Some theaters still have it. If you need it, I can get you two tickets. It's not far from the company."

David said with a smile.

"Okay, David, I want two, for tomorrow night."

Liu Yifei immediately agreed.

At the same time, there was a lot of discussion in the domestic industry because of a piece of news from the Film Funding Office.

"The Film Funding Office will launch an official Weibo in the near future to accurately publish real-time data on the film market and the next day's film schedule across the country through technical means."

This means that national box office data will be further made public and transparent.

It can not only curb some film studios from exaggerating the box office on the opening day in order to create gimmicks, but also prevent box office theft. It is a very powerful measure for the time being.

The producers, distributors, and theaters praised it repeatedly, liked it, and forwarded it.

The next day, David specially prepared a meeting place.

At this time, both Tyson and Zhao Wenzhuo were sweating slightly.

"Wonderful!!!"

David applauded very enthusiastically.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile at each other and clapped together.

"Li, Zhao, I believe this movie will be very exciting."

Tyson wiped his sweat with a towel, as if he was a little excited by the warm-up just now.

But that's it for two people.

There is a saying that when an expert stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one.

Although the two of them exchanged a few moves at will, they both understood that neither of them was a person who wasted their reputation.

"Director Li, you lived up to your expectations."

Zhao Wenzhuo bowed his hands to the two of them.

"."

Li Mu didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the two of them didn't come to Zhen, who didn't know how to deal with it.

“Boss, come here and let’s take a picture!”

David quickly took out his phone and took a photo.

"Post it on Instagram."

David happily edited it with a smile, and even asked Li Mu to help him type four Chinese characters for "Chinese Kung Fu".

"Boss, is it okay?"

David asked.

"It's okay, I'll announce it later anyway."

Li Mu didn't pay too much attention. Sooner or later, he would have to promote it to the outside world. After Tyson signed the contract, he officially announced that he would join "Ip Man 3".

Li Mu took the opportunity to notify the Emperor.

Hong Kong.

"Boss, there is news from Director Li, saying that it has been negotiated. Tyson will join "Ip Man 3" and the contract will be signed in the next few days."

Huo Wenxi said respectfully.

"Hahaha, it's worth waiting so long. Once the signing is completed, I will contact the media immediately to promote it. I want "Ip Man 3" to become a hit before it is filmed.

Li Yidu has put in so much effort, and we can’t hold him back.”

"clear."

Huo Wenxi nodded repeatedly.

Dealing with Tyson is one of the purposes of this trip to Hollywood.

The second is the matter of "Interstellar".

However, there is no need to rush. The film has not yet officially started global promotion, so Li Mu and Liu Yifei still have some time.

That night, the two had a great time watching "The Fault in Our Stars".

But it can't be said to be pleasant, because Liu Yifei's eyes were red as expected, and she obviously shed a lot of tears.

"The Fault in Our Stars" tells the story of a boy with bone cancer and a girl with lung cancer who met and fell in love in the last moments of their lives.

In the first half of the film, idol-like performances and golden lines are used to dilute the tragic temperament, and try to put aside the shadow of the cancer of the two teenagers. It looks like a fresh love song for a pair of teenagers, packaged with carefully designed humor and philosophy. Must be extremely artistic.

However, in the second half of the film, a tear-jerking trick was unleashed. The ubiquitous shadow of death and the unforgettable farewell made Liu Yifei burst into tears.

Especially when he saw Elgort, who had always been optimistic, confessing in tears that his cancer was getting worse, the two rehearsed the funeral, and until the last moment of his life, Elgort was thinking about how to get Woodley out of grief when Liu Yifei was already "crying like a dog."

Li Mu couldn't hold it back.

It wasn't until she returned to Beverly Hills that Liu Yifei slowly recovered.
