Chapter 916: The Upcoming Anniversary (Card, Single Update)

Although "My Hometown and I" and "My Country and I" are very similar, they are still slightly different:
Because we have the same motherland, but we have more than one hometown.

This is also the difficulty in making this movie. How can we make audiences from all over the world feel the feelings for their hometown?
But it is obvious that Ning Hao and his companions also put in a lot of effort.

The five units tell stories that take place in the five regions of southeast, northwest, northeast and central my country, covering the whole of China.

These five units contain both absurd reality and suspense and science fiction; they have a big twist at the end and continue to be very high-energy; they sing the praises of the relationship between teachers and students and the love between husband and wife, and they are full of all kinds of flavors.

Perhaps the five units together failed to elevate the entire hometown theme, and even two units were a bit thin, or just barely passable, but in terms of comedy, this movie still made people laugh with tears, cry with joy, and at a certain moment, they were moved spontaneously.
Liu Yifei held Li Mu's hand and suddenly used a little force. Li Mu felt it instantly and couldn't help asking:

"what happened?"

"Oh no, I laughed too hard just now and got a stitch in the side. My abdomen suddenly hurts." Liu Yifei said a little embarrassedly, then looked at the people around her and said carefully, "Did I laugh too loudly just now?"

"Don't worry, no one is paying attention to you." Li Mu couldn't help but feel funny.

"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows both banks of rice and flowers"

The movie ended with the familiar melody.

Afterwards, Ning Hao, Zhang Yi and other members of the creative team also took the stage to answer questions from reporters and interact with the audience.

However, as a guest, Li Mu could not help but be mentioned.

"Director Li, do you have any opinions on "My Hometown and Me" or anything you want to say to the audience?"

The reporter's question immediately attracted attention from all directions to Li Mu.

Ning Hao and others also cast their eyes over.

Although everyone knows that Li Mu will not say anything pessimistic, after all, as a big shot with influence both inside and outside the industry, the audience has great trust in him. It can be said that a word from Li Mu may make a movie more or less hundreds of millions at the box office.

But everyone is also looking forward to the specific comments.

"Let's just say that this is the film that contains all the best Chinese comedy."

Li Mu's simple words gave recognition to the comedy of the entire film's creators.

In fact, this movie is also the first time that dozens of comedy stars and nearly a hundred comedians have competed in first-class comedy in this movie, which can be regarded as creating a film spectacle of a grand gathering of comedy and lyricism!

Li Mu's comments immediately gave many book reviewers a new perspective on the film.

"Haha, this hat that Director Li gave us is a little too big for our crew to wear. Thank you, thank you."

Ning Hao responded very happily. Although his words were humble, his smile was even wider.

"Amu, what you just said was the truth, not just a polite remark."

In the car, Liu Yifei asked about Li Mu's response to the media reporters just now.

"It's true, mainly because the comedy in the movie is okay, but overall it's not particularly good." Li Mu shrugged. In his opinion, the two scenes starring Chen Sicheng and Deng Chao and Yu Baimei were somewhat unsatisfactory.

After hearing what Li Mu said, Liu Yifei also reacted. No wonder Li Mu only mentioned comedy and did not comment on anything else.

"But it's not easy to achieve this effect in such a short time."

Li Mu thought about it and felt that the reason for the poor performance here was probably due to time. "Then isn't the time for King Kong River even tighter?" Liu Yifei suddenly became a little worried about the King Kong River that Mengying Media was producing.

"The three of them are relatively familiar with each other, and they are working on a story together. It's not a unit filming method, so it's relatively better. Of course, the most important thing is that the quality of the script is not bad."

Li Mu also put a lot of effort into adjusting the script this time, because he was worried that the quality of the film would be affected due to the tight time.

We chose Guo Fan and two others because we are more or less familiar with each other, so during the filming, there will be less sense of alienation and they can cooperate better.

The premiere of "My Hometown and Me" also completely opened the curtain for the premieres of major movies during the National Day holiday. One after another, the premiere began, and the invisible smoke of war was already spreading during the schedule.

On October 1st, the long-awaited bustle of cinemas returned.

As a masterpiece, "My Hometown and Me" is also very powerful. At 16:13 pm on the first day of its release, the real-time box office exceeded 2 million yuan, and the single-day market has climbed to 5.6 million yuan, breaking the single-day box office record in 2020.

At the same time, Tian Zhuangzhuang's "Birds Singing" finally returned from Yunnan after finishing filming.

"Teacher, thank you for your hard work."

When Li Mu saw Tian Zhuangzhuang returning from a journey, he quickly poured him a cup of tea.

"Hey, it's not that hard. It's good enough to have some filming." Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled. "I heard that you recently received another task from above. Is the filming of "King Kong River" going well?"

"It's OK. Guo Fan and Lu Yang should be able to handle it."

"That's good." Tian Zhuangzhuang felt that he had nothing to look forward to. He just hoped that his disciples could achieve something. Now, each of them has exceeded his expectations.

"I'll go over and take a look at the post-production. I'll be staying there these days to finish it quickly and send it for review. I'm afraid this movie will need a lot of revisions for review."

After drinking a few cups of tea, Tian Zhuangzhuang also stood up.

Now, because "The Battle at Lake Changjin" is still under emergency production, there is no way for the post-production team to take a holiday during this National Day.

"Teacher, for the later stage, just find someone to follow you. They are all professionals. It's too tiring to follow them by yourself."

"I'm used to it. It's better for me to follow the show. My movie has a lot of content. Maybe they won't understand it without me."

Tian Zhuangzhuang shook his head, as if he had thought of something. "Oh, right? Wasn't Lao Mouzi's movie stuck in the censorship? Has it passed now?"

"No news yet. It shouldn't be that fast." Li Mu thought about it. There has been no news about "Rock Solid" recently.

"The review is becoming more and more strict." Tian Zhuangzhuang sighed.

Li Mu smiled bitterly when he heard this.

The review of "Birds Singing" will probably be more troublesome, but the post-production has not been completed yet, so the review issue can only be solved later.

Time flies, and it is October 10th.

The National Day holiday has come to an end. During this period, the annual revenue has exceeded 10 billion yuan. For this newly recovered market, this data is invaluable.

"My Hometown and Me" also raked in 18.7 billion yuan, accounting for nearly half of the total box office of the period, making it the dominant film.

But the pressure that followed came to Mengying Media, because the anniversary of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was not far away.
