Chapter 982 Pre-sale
"Let's concentrate on filming all your scenes in Yunnan ahead of time. You can complete the scenes in other cities when you return."

Because Li Mu has to return to the capital in late September, the premiere and publicity of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" and other work will begin, so it is naturally impossible for him to stay here all the time.

Li Mu nodded slightly when he heard this. This was the original plan.

Because as of now, the TV series has to be filmed until October, and then the reshoots will probably take until November.

Li Mu doesn't have that much time yet. He needs to work on "The Battle at Lake Changjin" and also has to hurry up with the Asian Games in Hangzhou.

The popularity of "Changjin Lake" has continued after the release of the MV. Listening to the song "The Loveliest People" makes people's blood boil and their eyes fill with enthusiasm.

Expectations for the movie have skyrocketed, and the gap with the second place is so large that it is unimaginable.

Judging from the current data, as long as pre-sales start, sales will definitely explode.

However, at this time, there were some disturbances in the cold film and television industry.

The reason is that a movie starring the original cast of "Journey to the West" - "Lost in Youth" was released.

You should know that the 86 version of "Journey to the West" carries the classic memories of several generations.

Under the interpretation of veteran artists, every character in "Journey to the West" has come to life.

The fascinating storyline and the unique costumes and props have contributed to the rise of "Journey to the West fever".

The "original cast" of "Journey to the West" has become a "living signboard". As long as a few veteran actors are willing to take the stage, there will be audiences willing to pay for it.

According to incomplete statistics, in the past two years, there have been no less than ten reunions of the "original cast of Journey to the West" in variety shows, which shows that the original cast has a deep bond.

However, on the first day of the film's release, the box office was only 576 RMB, breaking the "traffic legend" of the Journey to the West crew in one fell swoop.

It is also the lowest box office in the history of "Journey to the West" series.

One week after its release, the box office failed to break the "40 yuan mark", and the audience refund rate was as high as %.

The netizens who are against everything have already started to speak out:

“Old artists should just enjoy their retirement and stop selling their feelings.”

"A rubbish movie that discredits Journey to the West!"

“I won’t watch it anymore.”

"."

Although netizens did not say anything too extreme, they also revealed the cruel fact that audiences today no longer buy into nostalgia.

"We can't keep relying on sentimentality. The audience is not stupid." Li Mu commented calmly after taking a glance.

Unexpectedly, these words aroused the interest of Liu Yifei, who was lying nearby and watching videos.

"We are working together again. I saw netizens also said that this is a sentimental feeling. It has been many years since we last collaborated."

"???" Li Mu stared at Liu Yifei speechlessly, then slowly said, "Are you a fool?"

"You are the fool. You are the big fool."

When Liu Yifei saw that Li Mu made "personal attacks" on her without any agreement, she immediately fought back.

"Let's not talk about whether our cooperation is sentimental or not. Even if it is sentimental, there are different categories. Scarcity makes things valuable, don't you understand?"

Li Mu couldn't help but tap Liu Yifei's little head.

"I don't care about the idea that scarcity makes things valuable. I want to shoot more and more films," Liu Yifei muttered.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then he held Liu Yifei in his arms, "There are still decades in the future, not enough time to shoot." "Decades will pass in the blink of an eye, we have to cherish the present." Liu Yifei said confidently.

"That's true."

Li Mu did not refute, because in the blink of an eye, they were both in their thirties, and the scene of attending Beijing Film Academy seemed to be just yesterday.

Li Mu also cherished the remaining leisurely days. During this period, he completely relaxed, accompanying Liu Yifei in filming while enjoying life.

It’s just that the industry has been in turmoil recently.

Various notices have been issued successively, and the Central Propaganda Department has emphasized the need to increase efforts to rectify prominent issues in the cultural and entertainment field, which basically sets the tone for the current environment in the industry.

The General Administration followed suit and held a symposium to further strengthen the management of online audio-visual programs and personnel.

Li Mu also saw the current attitude of the bureau towards the current industry environment in the meeting minutes sent by Lu Yu. Apart from anything else, just resisting illegal and unethical artists from using online platforms to speak out and appear on camera basically shows the current seriousness of the situation.

Soon after, the People's Daily published an article: Those who are willing to be "plastic actors" will be forgotten sooner or later
This series of actions has made people in the industry more cautious, for fear of being caught in a trap.

Li Mu thought about it for a while, and then instructed Liu Weijuan to try her best to follow the current notice.

At this time, stance and attitude are still very important.

The pre-sale of "Changjin Lake" started on September 9. Currently, due to the popularity of "Changjin Lake", the only movie that is still alive is "My Fathers and Me".

However, in just half a day, the performance of the two films was completely different.

"The Battle at Lake Changjin" topped the list with 82.4% of the screenings, while "My Fathers and Me" only had 14.6% of the screenings, and its box office performance was far behind.

The outcome of this war was basically known before it even started.

The industry was shocked because "Changjin Lake" earned over 8 million yuan in just hours during the pre-sale stage.

"You have to be so cruel! Other movies won't have any soup to drink."

"I should have known not to squeeze into the National Day period. This time, I didn't believe in evil, and it really became evil."

"With this result, the pre-sale record may be comparable to "The Wandering Earth", but I don't know if it can surpass it."

"That's outrageous."

People in the industry are still exclaiming and netizens are also clamoring.

"Damn it, brothers, why are you so anxious? I went to vote and found that all the good positions have been taken by you."

"I'm speechless. I planned to go watch it after lunch, but there was only a spot for Shankara left. How can I play?"

"Don't mention it. My parents don't usually make plans to go to the movies, but this time they called me and asked me to book three tickets for "Changjin Lake" and asked for the best seats. We will go to the movie as a family during the National Day holiday. I can only say that the attraction of this theme plus the three major directors is unbeatable."

"."

This surprising pre-sale scene of "The Wandering Earth" gave the theaters a pleasant surprise.

After all, this represents money.

"Quick, quick, get out a few more posters of 'Changjin Lake' and hang them all over these roll-up banners."

Many theater managers gave instructions one after another.

"Manager, what about other movies?"

"Just change their positions. Removing one or two people won't affect them. Don't you understand what's more important? Hurry up and fix it."

With the hot pre-sale support, the popularity of "Changjin Lake" has been increasing, and it has been the talk of the town for a while.
