Chapter 641 Birthday, got the upper hand

“The Meg?”

After Li Mu finished talking to her, Liu Yifei searched for information on the Internet.

"A pure commercial film. The story is very simple. It's about a prehistoric giant shark, Megalodon, that accidentally escapes from the deep sea and reappears on earth to kill people. The heroine fights the shark to the death. I feel like the heroine is just a vase!"

Liu Yifei took a quick look at the synopsis of the novel, then looked up some more information and roughly deduced the answer.

"This isn't a movie with a female lead. Most female leads in commercial movies can't escape the fate of being a vase."

Li Mu said bluntly that there was nothing that could be done about it, as male characters were still in a dominant position.

"Then I won't act!" Liu Yifei refused directly, "Besides, the little one is still too young. When we make a movie, the little one will call me dad first, and I will be at a loss."

"Hahaha, you want to fight for this too." Li Mu hugged Liu Yifei and couldn't help but feel funny.

"Of course she does. She has to call me mom first. I've been teaching her recently. Hehe, she should definitely call me mom first."

"Is it possible that while you were watching the show, I was also teaching her to call dad first?"

There was a smile in Li Mu's eyes.

"what"

Liu Yifei immediately started to act coquettishly in Li Mu's arms, looking quite lovely.

At the same time, Li Xue, who is a senior executive at Wanda, is somewhat worried.

"Why haven't you replied yet? Could it be that Fan Binbin was chosen?"

"How is that possible? It's not her turn. If it's just me and her competing, what can she do to snatch the role from me?"

Li Binbin said disdainfully, Fan Binbin, who relied on hype to become famous, can he compete with her with his acting skills or fame?

In terms of acting skills, she is strong, and in terms of fame, her qualifications abroad are much better than Fan Binbin.

Li Xue heard what Li Binbin said and suddenly grasped the key point:
"Do you think there could be someone else? For example..."

"For example?" Li Binbin muttered, and suddenly thought of a very low-key person in the circle, "Liu Yifei?"

After saying this, Li Binbin immediately felt something was wrong. "If she fights..."

"If she competes, you all have no hope. If I were the project owner, I would definitely choose her. She is too competitive overseas. And to be honest, given Li Mu's relationship with Warner or domestic capital, there is almost no need to compete."

Li Xue hit the nail on the head with one sentence.

After listening to this, Li Binbin suddenly felt a little frustrated.

"But I don't think we need to be too discouraged." Li Xue thought for a while and said slowly.

"why?"

"On the one hand, her baby is still young, and on the other hand, she probably doesn't need these resources. What we think is a good thing may not be in her eyes."

Li Xue analyzed it, but Li Binbin just smiled bitterly.

"Wait for the news."

At the same time, Fan Binbin on the other side also felt something was wrong.

“Be prepared to publish!”

Fan Binbin took charge of his own publicity team.

She has never lost in this area of ​​publicity. No matter whether she wins or loses, she has to publish her work.

"It's best not to join the war."

Fan Binbin kept muttering to herself that if it was only Li Binbin, she would still have hope, but if it was the one from Mengying Media, she would really have no hope at all.

The industry is also paying close attention to the resource of The Megalodon. After all, it is a Hollywood blockbuster, an A-level production, and an investment of 1.5 million US dollars.

Li Ruigang, who was socializing, also received a call from Li Mu.

"Director Li, it's okay. The child is still young. It's what I should do!"

Li Ruigang was not surprised when he heard Li Mu say that Liu Yifei had no plans to return to filming in the near future.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ruigang began to grumble that there were not many suitable candidates in the circle at the moment.

Warner also intended to choose an actor with global fame, but Gong Li was too old and obviously not suitable.

"Forget it." Li Ruigang seemed to have made a decision.

Entering mid-to-late August, although new films such as "Big Head Son and Little Head Dad 2: Growing Up in One Day" and "He is a Dragon" were released, there was a lack of works with strong market appeal. The overall market tended to be cold, with weekly box office of less than 8 million yuan, a decrease of nearly 2500% year-on-year, but the number of moviegoers exceeded million.

It was somewhat unexpected that the movie version of "Line Walker", adapted from the TV series of the same name, topped the list with a weekly box office of 2.4 million yuan.

After all, the performance of most Hong Kong films (including co-productions) in the mainland market is not as good as it was ten years ago, and "Line Walker" is only average in terms of quality.

In comparison, the Hong Kong film "The Brink", also starring Louis Koo, performed much worse. In the second week of its release, the box office dropped by about 1.6%. It has now accumulated nearly 1.7 million yuan and will eventually reach around million yuan.

Major film and television companies will analyze the success or failure of these films and use them as a reference for future films of the same type.

“The success of Line Walker is not only due to the popularity of the TV series, but also due to the stars, publicity and other factors. The lack of follow-up to Grave Robbers’ Chronicles at the same time also helped.”

Mengying Media also issued an analytical report and sent it to Li Mu’s email.

Liu Yifei's birthday was not celebrated in a grand manner this year, and most of her classmates and friends were busy with their own schedules and could hardly make it, but the gifts arrived on time.

Only two families and Shu Chang, who was still semi-resting, came together to celebrate the birthday.

"Thank you Yanyan, I received the gift and I like it very much." Liu Yifei responded happily after receiving a call from Tang Yan.

"Xixi, come and cut the cake quickly." Shu Chang shouted after seeing Liu Yifei hung up the phone.

"Oh, my little baby, this cake belongs to mommy, you can't eat it yet."

The little boy in Li's mother's arms couldn't help wanting to grab the big white cake on the table with his little hands.

"Hahaha, little bun, if you want to eat it, just grow up quickly and then your aunt will buy it for you."

Shu Chang then started teasing the little bun.

"Make a wish!"

Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei in front of him. Her hair was still tied into a ponytail, and she was wearing a white T-shirt and a denim skirt, just like when she was at Beijing Film Academy.

"it is good!"

Liu Yifei clasped her hands together, fulfilled her wish under the gaze of everyone, and then gently blew out the candle.

Late at night, after coaxing the little kid to sleep, Liu Yifei quietly returned to the bedroom.

She was wearing a pink nightgown, through which her fair and sexy collarbone could be vaguely seen.

Li Mu gently embraced the slender waist from behind, and a faint fragrance wafted into her nose.

"What did you wish for today?"

Li Mu asked with a chuckle.

"I can't tell you. If I tell you, it won't work."

Liu Yifei immediately released all her strength, collapsed in Li Mu's arms, and scolded him.

"Ok."

Li Mu did not ask any further questions, as if this was indeed the truth, and then he gently massaged his shoulders.

Liu Yifei half-closed her eyes and remembered the wish she made when eating the cake.

What she wanted was simple, just for her family to live in peace and happiness.

Just as September is approaching, the heroine of "The Meg" that has attracted the attention of the industry seems to have been decided.

Suddenly, news releases about Li Binbin and Fan Binbin were everywhere.

"Fan Binbin declined to film The Meg due to schedule reasons!"

"Li Binbin replaces Fan Binbin to star in Warner Bros.' movie The Meg!"

As we all know, Fan Binbin and Li Binbin, two well-known movie stars in the mainland entertainment industry, seem to have never stopped competing with each other since they became famous. They can be seen competing with each other on many occasions.

It's just that on the surface it seems that Fan Bingbing occasionally has the upper hand, such as when attending international film festivals. Although Fan Bingbing has no works, she is still a frequent guest at such festivals.

On the contrary, Li Binbin has memorable roles every year, but he is far inferior to Fan Binbin in terms of walking on the red carpet, so much so that even Wang Sicong has come out to say that Fan Bingbing is a "carpet star."

This time is no exception. It can be seen from the press release alone that Fan Binbin has gained the upper hand through publicity again.

After reading this draft, it feels like Fan Binbin gave up the filming of "The Meg" and Li Binbin took over, which gives people a feeling of "picking up a broken shoe":

Li Binbin took over the things that Fan Binbin didn't want, giving people the feeling that Li Binbin is not as good as Fan Bingbing.

"How shameless of her to say such a thing."

Li Binbin felt like he had eaten shit. He thought that after Liu Yifei gave up the role, he would take over smoothly and beat Fan Binbin directly, but in the end, he was the only one left.

If she was told that he was picking up what Liu Yifei had left behind, she would have accepted it, but what about Fan Binbin?

People in the industry who knew the truth couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was obvious that Li Binbin had fallen into a disadvantage again.

“What a publicity stunt!”

Shu Chang was also stunned. If she hadn't known the truth from her best friend, she would have thought the same.

But there are people with sharp eyes among the masses.

"I am really impressed by the shamelessness of the online army of Fan Bingbing's studio. Li Binbin's acting in The Wind is far better than hers. Does Fan have any outstanding roles and works? Li is a professional actor, how can he compare with Fan, who is a wild actor."

"You guys are really enthusiastic in criticizing! What works of Fan can be remembered immediately? Besides Jinsuo? Have you forgotten Transformers and The Message of the Wind by Li Binbin?"

"."

Seeing the comments from netizens made Li Binbin feel a lot better.

"I have inside information. This movie was released after Liu Yifei declined to take the role. Fan Binbin, don't try to take advantage of it. Even if you are really chosen, it won't be your turn."

"Is what the above said true or false?"

"If Liu Yifei is really involved, then it's probably true. Besides, Warner is involved in this movie. Given the relationship between Li Mu and Warner, if she really wants the female lead, it would only take a word. I believe what the above person said."

"What a pity, it would have been great if Liu Yifei had played the role. How long will it take for Liu Yifei to make a comeback? @李牧"

"."

"Boss, what should we do now?"

When Fan Binbin’s publicity team saw that someone had leaked the news, they didn’t know what to do for a moment.

"Don't worry about it for now. No one will verify its authenticity. Just ignore it."

Fan Binbin immediately came up with a solution. Li Binbin was going to suffer the loss anyway. As for Liu Yifei, she couldn't post the article randomly, as it would easily cause trouble.
