Chapter 966 Luxurious lineup
"Mr. Fumao, it is indeed too late. We only finished filming at the end of May and are still in post-production. We simply cannot make it in time to participate in the Cannes Film Festival."

It was indeed as the three guessed, Cannes really wanted to invite "Changjin Lake" to participate.

After all, the names of the three directors, Li Mu, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, are enough to make people excited.

"Oh, that's a pity. We are all looking forward to the movie made by you, Zhang and Chen." Thierry Frémaux's words seemed full of regret.

"But you might consider the Cannes film festival market. After all, we have the world's largest film festival here, and Workshop can be responsible for selling your films around the world."

When Thierry Frémaux saw that his invitation to the exhibition was unsuccessful, he changed his mind.

After all, a large-scale war film like "Changjin Lake" must be sold globally, and film producers in many countries will be interested in this movie.

Showing this kind of movie to sell in Cannes will naturally enrich Cannes' list of excellent films.

Of course, this is also a win-win situation. After all, producers also need a grand platform to promote their movies.

Li Mu felt that it was a good idea after hearing this. After all, Workshop was originally a social circle and workshop created for international producers, and only the best international film sources were sold here.

Ordinary movies cannot reach the threshold of Workshop.

"OK, Mr. Fumao, then "Changjin Lake" will go to Cannes!"

Li Mu smiled and responded.

"."

The day after Li Mu agreed to Cannes, foreign media had already learned about it and reported it.

"The Korean War film "Changjin Lake" will be shown at the 74th Cannes Film Market. The film is the most expensive war film in Chinese film history so far, with a production cost of more than 2 million US dollars (about 15 billion yuan). Workshop will be responsible for global sales in Cannes."

"."

The news from foreign media quickly spread back to China.

There is no emotional fluctuation in China about "Changjin Lake" participating in Cannes. After all, with this lineup of directors, it is hard to think of any reason that the film festival could reject it.

Instead, I am somewhat interested in the cost.

"This movie is so expensive. I remember that most actors are paid a basic salary or even a symbolic salary. How can it be so expensive?"

"Oh my god, this is the rhythm of a Hollywood blockbuster. It's exciting just thinking about it. It's our own super war blockbuster."

"Just for this cast of directors, this investment, and this movie, I'm going to watch it. Even gods can't stop me."

"."

"I didn't expect this unexpected publicity effect."

Li Mu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when reading the comments on Weibo.

In his opinion, there was nothing worth commenting on this news.

"That would save us money on publicity!"

After hearing what Li Mu said, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up slightly.

"How much can this save? We still have to promote what needs to be promoted. It's indispensable." Li Mu said with a smile, "By the way, how is the casting going recently?"

"It's OK. We are still discussing it, but the main roles and supporting roles have been basically confirmed. We can just organize an audition when the time comes."

"Do you need my participation?"

"Come if you want to. If you don't want to, I can do it by myself." Liu Yifei leaned on Li Mu's back and smiled softly.

"I didn't realize you're quite strong."

"Hmph, don't look down on me. After all, I have made several movies."

"Without three, there is no few. Comrade Liu Yifei, I have to correct you on this point." Li Mu was about to say something else when he felt something biting his shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw Liu Yifei's eyes looking at him, and then she blinked, as if she wanted to say, "Go on."
“You have a completely bad habit.”

“It hurts, it hurts, that’s enough, I won’t say any more!”

On the other hand, more information about "Go Where the Wind Is" has been basically exposed as the project progresses, and Mengying Media simply announced it directly on its official website.

When many people saw that the male and female protagonists were Li Mu and Liu Yifei, they were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted. After all, this was not the first time the two had worked together.

Later, their names also appeared in the producer column.

Ning Hao's name appeared in the producer column, but the director column was empty.

But this does not prevent the industry from having a heated discussion about this list.

Moreover, Li Mu is the producer and Ning Hao is the supervisor. This is a ceiling lineup for a TV series.

"This is a bit extravagant, worthy of being a big shot in the industry!"

"To be honest, I want to act. Can anyone recommend me some resources?"

"This is definitely a luxurious lineup in the film industry."

"."

However, compared with the envy of the industry, movie fans are ecstatic, but there are also complaints.

"I knew it. Sure enough, Li Mu is also in it."

“I’m really looking forward to what kind of TV series this cast can produce.”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is really fun. It's the title: Where the Wind Is. I can't guess what kind of TV series it is. It doesn't say what the subject is. Are they playing it mysterious?"

"Needless to say, it's definitely a romance movie. What else can it be with them both starring in it?"

"."

It has to be said that as soon as this news was released, it caused huge popularity, and for a while several terms were at the top of the hot searches.

At this moment, all the actors who received audition invitations for "Go Where the Wind Is" were ecstatic.

After all, this is a big opportunity. Not every TV series can have this kind of exposure.

TV dramas are places to build popularity, and popularity is easiest to gather with huge exposure.

Everyone was ready to go and put in their best efforts to face the upcoming audition.

At this moment, Fu Meicheng, who was far away in Zhejiang, also called quickly.

Li Mu originally thought it was about "A Thousand Miles Home", but unexpectedly the other party asked if there was any help needed in the TV series.

"Director Li, Huace started out as a TV drama company. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know."

Fu Meicheng laughed.

"There is no problem at the moment. If you need anything, definitely look for Mr. Fu. I won't be polite."

I have to say that Fu Meicheng's call was indeed comforting. After all, the call came right after the official announcement.

Amidst the excitement, "Where the Wind Is" has gradually gotten on track, with orderly preparations and casting.

Liu Yifei was naturally one of the confirmed cast members, and many people who came to the audition knew it. Since Li Mu was not present and Ning Hao was not there either, it was obvious that Liu Yifei was the one in charge.

Many people secretly envy.

"It's great. You can act and choose what you want. You can do whatever you want. It's not as hard as us."

"Same person, different fate, just accept it."

"She gets all the good things, but I am the only one who has a hard life."

"."

The news about the audition will spread, and there will be discussions behind the scenes.
