Chapter 932: Who to direct?

"Drinking?"

Liu Yifei had already guessed it when she saw that the car was not driven back by Li Mu.

"I drank a little, not much, but I can't drive."

Li Mu smiled, got out of the car, and then paid the bill.

Ala wagged its tail and ran out happily with the little bun.

This is Ala's favorite season, because it was too hot in the past few months, and his tongue basically had to stick out. Fortunately, there is air conditioning at home, so he likes to stay at home all day.

"I'm glad to know." Liu Yifei smiled and took Li Mu's hand, but the little kid had already protested.

"Dad, I want a hug!"

Li Mu had no choice but to bend down and prepare to pick up the little kid, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Liu Yifei also pouting.

"You're already an adult, yet you're still playing these tricks." Li Mu couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, yes, mom is not ashamed."

The little bun shouted loudly in Li Mu's arms.

"Hey, Li Yisheng, wait for me"

"Dad, run, run!" the little boy urged hurriedly when he saw this.

Li Mu was also jogging, and Liu Yifei was not chasing him fast either. For a moment, the figures under the light seemed to form a warm picture.

The next day, Li Mu was still thinking about the movie that Fu Meicheng mentioned last night. If he guessed correctly, the movie should have been renamed "A Thousand Miles Home".

Guo Fan originally called Li Mu to come over to review the final cut of The Wandering Earth: Leap 2020 Special Edition, but seeing that Li Mu seemed to be thinking about something, he couldn't help but ask:

"Brother, are you worried?"

"Oh!" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's not a big deal. I have a mainstream movie but I can't find a suitable person to take it over."

"What story is it?" Guo Fan asked, seeming to be interested.

The director is most interested in the story, and Li Mu is the same and does not hide it.

"Based on the 2011 Libya evacuation incident, this is a movie about Chinese citizens working abroad."

“What a good subject.”

Guo Fan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This kind of subject matter is attractive.

"But it's hard to choose the right person. If I didn't have The Wandering Earth 2 on hand, I would have wanted to give it a try."

"You are very suitable." Li Mu also nodded. Guo Fan is indeed more suitable for this movie, but it's a bit of a pity.

Guo Fan also sighed, but his eyes suddenly focused, "Brother, can't you find the right person?"

"Uh, yes, I just couldn't think of anyone who is free and suitable for the moment."

Li Mu nodded in surprise.

"I have someone to recommend." Guo Fan said excitedly, but then calmed down, "Brother, why don't you tell me what kind of director you need, and I'll match you up."

"This movie is based on real themes, which requires a documentary style to match. The film is more inclined towards the literary part, telling the story of a group of ordinary people with almost no fighting power "returning home" in the face of danger and hardship. This is one of the reasons why Lu Yang said he didn't want to direct it." Li Mu talked about this story with Guo Fan in general. Li Mu still remembered this story.

"That's fine. I'll recommend an old acquaintance of mine, Director Rao Xiaozhi."

Guo Fan continued, "You should have heard of Director Rao's movies. He directed The Unknown, a realistic film. He is also very good at literary drama. He is absolutely suitable for this role."

If Rao Xiaozhi and Guo Fan hadn't mentioned this name in advance, Li Mu really wouldn't have been able to remember it for a moment.

In 18, "Nobody" tied with Hollywood blockbusters "Venom" and "Fantastic Beasts 2".

It’s just that this director is indeed too low-key. There has been almost no news about him in the past two years. Li Mu sometimes even forgets about this "unknown" director.

Just when Guo Fan mentioned this, something seemed to come to mind.

"Can you invite him? I've seen Nobody, it's pretty good."

Li Mu also nodded, obviously agreeing with Guo Fan's recommendation.

"He has another realistic film on hand, but as far as I know, he is currently in post-production. In theory, he is free. Can I try to invite him to take a look?"

"Then give it a try."

Li Mu didn't say anything and directly handed it over to Guo Fan to try.

"Then use this special edition?"

"It's OK, let's leave it at that."

"."

On the other hand, in the film and television industry, only "The Battle at Lake Changjin" stood out. After easily breaking through 15 billion, 20 billion seems to be within reach.

It is rare to have such a box office during this period, especially for a movie that took only three months to produce.

But this November is indeed a recession.

Without imported films, domestic films have almost given up on scheduling for November. Even on Double 11, there are only a few films released. The theaters are a little anxious, but it is of no avail. Even the posters shown in the theaters are mostly prepared for the Lunar New Year films.

"Assassination of Novelist" also took the opportunity to sound the clarion call for the New Year's Day promotion, and released a set of concept posters, showing the two worlds of reality and fantasy to movie fans for the first time.

In the blurred world of the poster, there is a huge flying candle dragon lantern with arrows stuck all over its body. Under the lantern, the wooden boat is full of soldiers in ancient costumes holding torches. It seems that in this strange world, war is about to break out.

Bent over the desk is a young man wearing glasses. It is obvious that he is the novelist, one of the protagonists of the movie.

Another poster switches the camera to the real world, where a little girl is wandering in a modern city lined with shops, surrounded by a bustling scene of lights and wine. At the other end of the street, a polar bear meets the little girl unexpectedly. The picture is full of visual impact and arouses imagination.

The fantasy atmosphere of the poster also arouses the audience's interest, and it is especially produced by Mengying Media, which makes people even more curious.

“I have to say that this set of posters is really good and attractive, and it fits my imagination of the fantasy world very well.”

"This name and this story have something interesting. Lu Yang seems to be the director of "The Blade of the Assassin", right? It's worth looking forward to it."

"A little girl, a polar bear, a novelist, Tenglong's candle dragon, and the soldiers on the ship, to be honest, I can't associate these things together. I didn't expect that they could be filmed together. OK, OK, as long as the word of mouth is good, I will go and see it."

"."

For a time, as the popularity of "Assassination of Novelist" increased, other movies could not hold back and began large-scale publicity. In this way, the smoke of the Lunar New Year movie filled this cold November period.

At the same time, Guo Fan quickly found Rao Xiaozhi.

Although one of them is from Beijing Film Academy and the other is from Central Academy of Drama, they can talk to each other and become friends. Naturally, they have something in common.
