Chapter 660 A new era
"Actually this photo is just average, the styling is not up to par, not to mention the earthy gold-colored clothes."

Seeing that Liu Yifei and Tang Yan were still chatting happily, Li Mu couldn't help but complain about their Golden Eagle Awards looks.

As a result of this complaint, Liu Yifei put down her phone.

"Hmph, then tell me, what photo of mine is special in your eyes?"

Liu Yifei looked straight at Li Mu, as if asking him to give an explanation.

“There is one.”

Li Mu recalled while driving.

"Which one? Don't mention those stills." Liu Yifei pouted her red lips.

"Have you forgotten the photos you took of your pigtails? By the way, I haven't seen you with pigtails in a while."

Li Mu couldn't help but sigh that the set of photos really amazed the time and warmed the years.

"Ha!" Liu Yifei thought suddenly, because there are not many photos of her with twin ponytails, and Li Mu said that she was wearing a suspender, so it was most likely in the summer.

"You mean the set I shot in 05?"

Liu Yifei seemed to remember.

"Bingo!"

"Hehe, you have good taste. I also like that set of photos. But now that I'm older, I feel like I'm pretending to be young if I tie my hair into two pigtails."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly at Li Mu, with charming dimples on her cheeks.

That set of photos was taken at the age of 18, which is the age that women dream of returning to all their lives. It records the most moving years and appearance of their life.

"But I can give it to my daughter, and it will be very cute."

Liu Yifei immediately fantasized about it, but the little bun’s hair was not that long yet, and it would not work if he tied it up now.

After hearing what Liu Yifei said, Li Mu was also extremely looking forward to it.

"Operation Red Sea" entered its second weekend and gained momentum again. It had originally fallen below 2.01 million yuan, but after the box office release on Saturday, "Operation Red Sea" once again reached the million yuan mark and successfully earned million yuan.

The fact that a movie which has been released for a full 15 days can once again achieve such a box office success has already proved the movie's strong appeal.

Although everyone in the industry knows that this will be the last highlight of "Operation Red Sea", because after this weekend, the downhill road will be gone forever.

As expected, the box office fell back to 1.8 million yuan on Sunday, but the current cumulative box office of "Operation Red Sea" has exceeded 39.5 billion yuan, which means it will break the 40 billion mark today.

All major media have been quietly waiting for this moment to come.

From the 1 million era to the billion era, billion era, and billion era, China's box office is now about to set a new record again.

This is a source of pride for everyone in the industry, because the birth of the record also means that the film and television industry is still in its golden age.

And we are all part of this great era.

As expected, at 40 o'clock on Monday evening, major media reports were overwhelmingly celebrating the birth of the billion box office record for a single Chinese film.

"Operation Red Sea took 18 days to gross 40.1 billion yuan. Chinese films have officially entered the 40 billion yuan box office era!"

"Congratulations to Director Li Mu for breaking through the 40 billion box office for his film Operation Red Sea, which marks the beginning of a new era for Chinese-language films."

"."

The official Weibo account of "Operation Red Sea" also officially released the message at this moment.

“Hello, 40 billion!”

A poster worth 40 billion represents the development and record of Chinese films in the past decade.

There were many congratulations from within the industry.

"Congratulations to Director Li, thank you Director Li for bringing Chinese-language films into the 40 billion era!"

"Director Li told me before that 30 billion or 40 billion RMB would not be a problem for future movies. I didn't believe it then, but now I do. Congratulations to Director Li."

"Congratulations, Director Li"

Light Media, Bona Films, Wanda, Hehe Films, Chinese Culture, Maoyan Films, and many other companies that have good or average relations with Mengying Media have congratulated the birth of this scene on Weibo and other social platforms.

Many major directors also sent messages to congratulate.

"Director Li, congratulations." Tang Jing also called quickly.

"Congratulations! The celebration banquet has been scheduled for this Friday, Director Tang, don't forget it."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there." Tang Jing was extremely happy. The Navy had made a fortune this time, and it wasn't just the money that was important.

The 4 billion yuan of "Operation Red Sea" had a huge impact on the industry.

Wu Jing has to go to Tiancai every day to supervise the post-production of "Wolf Warrior 2" and stay there all day long.

Xie Nan has already complained to Liu Yifei.

"Sister Xie Nan, don't worry, I'll let Amu criticize him."

Liu Yifei made a solemn promise on the phone, and after hanging up, she blinked at Li Mu.

"Aren't you very capable?"

Li Mu tapped Liu Yifei's little head.

"Sister Xie Nan is still pregnant after all. It's not good for Brother Jing to be in the late stage all day long. He has to spare some time to accompany her."

"Yeah, that's right!" Li Mu recalled the time when he went to watch the post-production of "Wolf Warrior 2" a few days ago. Wu Jing was so engrossed in the work that he was completely immersed in it, like a workaholic.

“I’ll go talk to him tomorrow. There’s no need for him to follow us all day long in the later stages, and we’re not in a hurry to film Wolf Warrior 2.” “Yeah, you’re the best.” Liu Yifei flew over directly, and Li Mu almost felt that he had missed the target and even took two steps back.

And this little girl seems to have gained weight recently. This was Li Mu’s first feeling.

"Amu, is your health getting worse? Are you not feeling well? You even took a few steps back."

There was a playful smile in Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes.

"It's tolerable, but it's unbearable!"

Li Mu gritted his teeth, dragged Liu Yifei up and threw her onto the bed.

Fortunately, we were in the room, otherwise it would have been awkward. After all, I weigh over 100 pounds, and it would have been very tiring to hold it for too long.

Just as Li Mu was about to pounce, Liu Yifei dodged nimbly and stood up with a smile.

"I'm going to go and get my daughter to sleep. You can go exercise first."

Liu Yifei said this lightly and disappeared in a flash.

"A monk can run away, but he can't run away from the temple!"

"."

The next day, Li Mu first went to Mengying Media.

"Mr. Li, please take a look at the invitation to the first China Film Investment Summit Forum."

Liu Weijuan took out the invitation letter given by the organizer.

"Just send a representative. I won't go." Li Mu shook his head and refused, then picked up the latest report and started reading it.

The most obvious ones are naturally a few movies.

Among them, the closest to release is Guo Fan's "Arrival", followed by Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" and Lu Yang's "Knife Assassins 2".

There is also a new project of Happy Twist called "The Shameful Iron Fist", which is also a story in the form of a stage play, but thanks to "Charlotte's Troubles", this stage play has also been adapted.

At the end of the report, there was also the matter of preparing for the science fiction film that Li Mu had instructed him to do a year ago, which is now proceeding in an orderly manner.

"OK, no problem!"

Li Mu nodded, and after dealing with the matters of Mengying Media, he came to Tiancai.

Wu Jing sat among several post-production masters, watching this and that, without taking his eyes off the screen.

It wasn't until Li Mu patted him on the back that he reacted.

"Director Li, you're here just in time. Look, look at the special effects of this bullet. I feel there's room for improvement. That's it."

Wu Jing directly pulled Li Mu to discuss the post-production special effects. Li Mu suddenly forgot the purpose of his visit and started chatting directly with the post-production special effects personnel.

It took a while to finish the conversation.

"By the way, Director Li, what's the matter with you coming here?" Wu Jing came back to his senses and asked.

"."

After Wu Jing said this, Li Mu remembered that he came here for a mission.

"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Li Mu said with a smile, and found a place with few people and sat down directly. "Sister Xie Nan found Xixi to complain about you, saying that you stayed here all day and didn't go home."

"Well, I'll be going back tonight too." Wu Jing was speechless. After trying so hard to think, he could only utter these few words.

"Career is important, and family is important too. When a woman is pregnant, even if it's her second child, you still need to pay more attention to her. Sister Xie Nan is not saying that you can't keep an eye on the later stages, but she just said that you should go back earlier and spend more time with her."

Li Mu felt like he was acting like someone who had been through it all, and Wu Jing was obviously also an experienced person.

"Okay!" Wu Jing also felt guilty towards Xie Nan and agreed immediately.

"Don't just talk and not do anything. Sister Xie Nan might think it's my fault that she locked you up here. That would be unfair."

Li Mu made a joke.

Wu Jing also smiled when she heard this.

After the weekend, the weekday box office of "Operation Red Sea" was halved compared to the weekend box office, but it was still close to 100 million yuan.

But obviously this sustainability will not be too strong.

On the other hand, Li An’s new work "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk", which has been attracting much attention in China, received comments from foreign media after its premiere at the New York Film Festival.

This film was subversively shot in 120 frames, 4K resolution, and 3D format, and the outside world is full of curiosity about this film.

Revolutionary images and humanistic themes are the two main highlights of "Billy Lynn's Long Day's Journey into Night".

However, after the premiere, foreign media had mixed opinions.

The plot of the film was recognized by some people and was considered to be another humanistic work after Brokeback Mountain, but the innovation in the picture received more criticism.

Many film critics believe that the ultra-high-definition images are not realistic enough and distracting, and some even believe that the images affect the expression of the film.

Because the ultra-high-definition 3D technology used in "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" makes the film look very weird, like a movie shot with a videotape camera in the 80s.

Li An once said that this film is expected to bring innovation to the film industry, but it seems that the final result of this experiment was not successful.

This is a tough situation for Bona Film Group, because Bona Film Group invested in "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" and also paid for the domestic distribution of the film.

"I hope my luck won't be so bad this year."

Yu Dong felt a little chilly in his heart at the moment. The joy brought by the box office of "Operation Mekong" breaking 10 billion yuan was washed away.
