Chapter 549: Participating in fraud? (Caven, single update today)
The Douban score of 9 points is naturally unrealistic, and no animated film in China has scored 9 points since the beginning of the millennium. Even the only one with 8 points is "Your Name"!
However, this score reflects the evaluation of the film by the audience who participated in the premiere.

Film critics also picked up their pens one after another.

"What "Kuiba" didn't do, what "Qin Shi Mingyue" didn't do, but "The Return of the Great Sage" did it, it will be a new industry benchmark for domestic animated films."

"Thank you to the animation department of Mengying Media, and to directors Li Mu and Tian Xiaopeng for bringing a conscientious work to the weak domestic animation. This reminds me of a time when animators all over the world looked to China for lessons.

Today, half a century has passed since "Havoc in Heaven". Chinese animation has long lost its own style and has become a habitual laughing stock of the public.

However, "Journey to the West" is still one of the oldest and most powerful fantasy IPs in China. Its imagination has been exploited by future generations for thousands of years, and it is still inexhaustible.

The "Great Sage" was reborn and reborn, and his "return" has also been imbued with the significance of Guoman enduring humiliation and making a comeback."

"."

Although film critics in this era are no longer as directly "highly influential" as in the past, as part of a film's reputation, it can still reflect part of the film's level.

“Damn it, if you don’t read it, you don’t know how our domestic animation was in such a great era?”

"Why is it unnecessary? Isn't that what you said? Animated movies don't have stars or much to hype about, so publicity is difficult."

""Havoc in Heaven", such a long-lasting name, I miss it a bit!!!"

Most people don't know that domestic animation in China once had such a glorious history, and they think it has always been so weak.

"is it necessary?"

The contents of the two are almost identical.

Li Mu smiled lightly and said, I have to say that this is also a way, but I don't know how many people will join it.

"Havoc in Heaven" has participated in 14 international film festivals held in 18 countries and regions, won many awards, and has been exported and screened to 44 countries and regions.

"The Return of the Great Sage" has not yet been able to compete with "Havoc in Heaven", but the corner it has set off has given countless animation fans and people in the animation industry greater hope.

"I heard my grandparents say it. It seems that I saw it when I was in elementary school. It was too long ago."

"Call for "The Return of the Monkey King", today I am a member of the Monkey King fan club"

At the same time, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang updated their Weibo posts.

"Don't tell me, I don't know about this movie review."

"."

"You see, Changshang and I brought our friends together, and we all joined together to call for "The Return of the Great Sage". This might bring other people in, and it wouldn't be so difficult to promote it."

Liu Yifei repeated to him what Li Mu once said like a treasure trove.

Liu Yifei raised her white swan neck, as if to say, praise me, am I very smart?

It caused a sensation in many countries, which is one of the reasons why foreign countries are particularly impressed by Sun Wukong.

Li Mu was driving the car at this time, listening to Liu Yifei describe her promotional ideas.

"That was really hard work!"

与此同时，即将在7月9日、7月10日上映的郭敬名的《小时代4》以及何炅的处女作《栀子花开2015》则是有些瑟瑟发抖。

This film review sparked discussions among countless netizens and some people’s nostalgia.

The two movies are about to collide head-on with "The Return of the Great Sage".

Just when Li Mu returned home, the two followed Liu Yifei's singing more and more, as if in a relay.

Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Zhao Liying, Zhou Xun, Zuo Xiaoqing, Zhou Yiwei, Zeng Li, Yuan Quan.
"There are already more than twenty people!"

Liu Yifei was very excited in the villa and was still screaming.

Li Mu took a look at Weibo, but he didn't expect that the popularity of "The Return of the Great Sage" was indeed getting higher and higher. He originally thought that it would have to be added to the media preview venue and theater preview venue to increase its popularity. Laman.

But looking at it like this, it seems that the popularity of the movie will explode in these days, which is completely different from the original version of "The Return of the Monkey King".

"Amu, do you think I'm suitable for marketing? I'm really a little genius."

"Forehead goose goose."

Liu Yifei was still laughing heartily.

The next day, "The Return of the Great Sage" has hit the top three topics on Weibo.

There have been more than 50 directors and stars participating in the relay, and it seems that a huge "star fan group" is about to be born.

Even the sponsor Liu Yifei was a little surprised.

"Isn't it likely that there will be more than a hundred people after the screening?"

Yang Mi woke up the next day and saw the "Great Sage Fans Group" on Weibo. She silently picked up her phone and followed suit.

This scene is replicating.

This almost silenced the publicity staff in the industry.

"As expected of the proprietress of Mengying Media, Liu Yifei has too much influence in this circle."

"Stop talking, I'll post one too. I heard from the media that "The Return of the Great Sage" is really good."

"." In the next two days, the popularity of "The Return of the Great Sage" has remained high, firmly beating "Tiny Times 4" and "Gardenia Blossoms 2015".

But Li Mu now came to Anle Pictures.

Ye Zhu and Jiang Zhiqiang are already waiting here.

"I'm not too late."

Li Mu subconsciously looked at the time.

"Hahaha, you're not late. Mr. Ye has just arrived. No, I just poured Mr. Ye a cup of tea."

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and pointed at the tea cup. At this moment, there was still a stream of hot air floating upward on the tea cup.

"Having said that, Mengying's "The Return of the Great Sage" has a pretty good reputation, and it seems that the box office is stable."

"I heard from the manager below that almost every major theater manager who came back from the trial screening of Mengying Media Theater was full of praise. Anyway, Wanda has prepared 38% of the film schedule for the premiere day."

Jiang Zhiqiang and Ye Zhuren were very optimistic about each other's words.

"Okay, I accept your good wishes."

Li Mu smiled lightly.

"By the way, Director Li, are you confident that "The Return of the Great Sage" will surpass "Fast 7" and take back the title of first in the domestic box office?"

Jiang Zhiqiang changed the subject and brought up the box office rankings.

"Not too possible."

Li Mu frowned. It's not that animated movies can't break through, but that the ceiling of the current animation industry has not yet been completely opened, and many viewers have not yet come up with their ideas and desire to watch.

It is really difficult to break the 24 billion box office at this time.

"Speaking of which, last year "Transformers 4" took the first place at the domestic box office, and this year it was "Fast and Furious 7". Ever since Director Lee broke the record of "Titanic", Hollywood has not dominated the box office for two consecutive years. We are at the top of the domestic box office charts.”

Jiang Zhiqiang said quietly at this moment.

"What do you mean by Mr. Jiang's words?"

Ye Zhu couldn't help but ask at this moment, it seemed that the business matter he came to negotiate this time might be related to this.

"Director Li and the theater manager under Mr. Ye must have visited the theater of "Monster Hunt"."

Jiang Zhiqiang did not get straight to the point, but instead asked Li Mu and Ye Zhu.

"Yes, one billion is expected."

Li Mu said lightly that Lu Yu had already compiled the evaluation report in this area and sent it to him.

"It's really good. It can be said that the summer movies are dominated by "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Monster Hunt."

Ye Zhu also nodded and commented on "Monster Hunting".

“I have been in the film industry for more than 30 years, almost years.

Over the years, I have invested in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the first Oscar-winning foreign language film in the history of Chinese films, and "Hero", which pushed Chinese films into the blockbuster era.

I have invested in many blockbuster films. It would be a lie to say that I do not do it to make money, but I am actually more interested in those literary and artistic films that will lose money at first sight.

For example, director Tian's "Blue Kite", which is difficult to recoup in the market based on its subject matter, and "Ocean Paradise", which focuses on special groups and had an extremely poor box office after its release, as well as various other films that will be filmed in the future."

Jiang Zhiqiang said calmly, with some emotion, "In the beginning, the domestic movie box office was really low, so low that you had to look up to the box office of "Titanic".

But the one I admire the most is Director Li. I thought it would take many years before the domestic record of that ship could be broken. Unexpectedly, Director Li defeated it directly. Since then, our own film has almost always topped the list every year. , until last year's "Transformers 4"! "

Having said this, Jiang Zhiqiang stood up and said, "To be honest with you two, I want "Monster Hunt" to surpass "Fast and Furious 7"."

After Jiang Zhiqiang finished speaking, Ye Zhu and Li Mu immediately became serious and sat quietly.

At this moment, the meeting room was completely silent.

Li Mu picked up the tea, took a sip, and thought carefully about Jiang Zhiqiang's words. What is the purpose of this gold medal producer who claims to only read scripts, not genres, has the lowest failure rate, and has almost never made a bad movie? .

Jiang Zhiqiang was not in a hurry, waiting for Li Mu and Ye Zhu's reply.

""Monster Hunt" cannot surpass "Fast and Furious 7"!"

Li Mu glanced at Ye Yan and said slowly, "Monster Hunt" can only be said to have a bit of a CG monster-hunting mentality coupled with large-scale publicity. There is a high hope of breaking 10 billion, but if it breaks 20 billion, it will probably burn high incense in the ancestral graves. .

"Director Li and I agree on this. "Monster Hunt" will not be able to earn 20 billion at the box office, let alone 24 billion."

Ye Zhu also subconsciously picked up the teacup, and then seemed to lighten the atmosphere in the room. He chuckled and said, "Don't just talk, your mouths are dry. Drink some tea."

The three of them also picked up the tea cups in tacit agreement and took a sip.

"I believe Director Li and Mr. Ye should understand what I mean."

Jiang Zhiqiang was the first to break the silence and spoke.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand what Mr. Jiang's intention is?"

Various possibilities came to Li Mu's mind, and his expression turned slightly serious.
