China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 126 Come to my room, I'll tell you a play!

Actually, even if Li Mu didn't say anything about the content of the phone call just now, other people could get a general idea from a few words, but Li Mu really didn't need to deliberately spread it widely.

Now that he has done this, he must have his intentions.

It’s true that Harvey Weinstein is a Hollywood bigwig, but Hollywood will not only have this bigwig, and judging from the fact that he was sent in by so many people, he is more of a superficial bigwig guy.

The agreement between Li Mu and Tom Hanks is that "Manchester by the Sea" will be played by him. As for which company will be handed over to promote the film after it is released, the final decision must be made by Li Mu.

But since Tom Hanks intends to use this film to win awards, he will never sit idly by the choice of operating company.

And is Tom Hanks willing to hand over the movie to Harvey Weinstein?
This is still an unknown for Li Mu.

At the 71st Academy Awards Ceremony, Harvey Weinstein's "Onsa in Love" defeated "Saving Private Ryan" starring Tom Hanks and became a famous dark history in Oscar history .

So there is a possibility that Tom Hanks dislikes Harvey Weinstein.

But didn't the two have a bad relationship and Li Mu kicked Harvey out?
Not at all.

If Harvey Weinstein can really help Li Mu win the award, then why does Li Mu reject him because of other people's perceptions?
So Li Mu chose to make the content of the conversation just now public. In fact, it is tantamount to telling Tom Hanks that if you have other contacts to run the prize, now is the time to show your strength.

If you don't show enough strength, then I have to choose Harvey Weinstein.

……

9 o'clock in the evening.

All the staff had left Li Mu's room. About half an hour later, Li Mu sent Liu Yifei a message on QQ:
"Are you asleep?" A standard straight man's opening remarks.

After a while Liu Yifei replied: "Not yet."

Li Mu asked again: "Have you figured out how to act out the scene where you get stabbed tomorrow?"

Liu Yifei sent a crying emoji:

"I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up when I play opposite the Oscar winner and actress..."

Followed by a series of emoticons.

Li Mu replied: "If not, then come to my room and I will teach you how to act out the fear of being stabbed."

This time Liu Yifei returned after a while: "To your room? Now?"

Li Mu replied: "Of course, the filming will start tomorrow, if you don't come now, it will be too late."

Liu Yifei quickly posted several emoticons expressing doubts and puzzles:
"In the middle of the night, you asked an actress to run into the director's room to learn acting?"

Li Mu responded naturally: "Isn't this very, very common in the entertainment industry? What's wrong?"

Liu Yifei sent a sweaty emoji:

"Common...maybe...common, but it's...not normal."

Li Muhui: "It's not normal for an actor with very average acting skills to act opposite the Oscar winner and actress. Are you going to act fear by staring and yelling in front of the actor and actress?"

It took a long time for Liu Yifei to reply this time:
"Come out and open the door!"

Li Mu smiled.

Getting up to let Liu Yifei in, Li Mu found it funny seeing her sneaky look:
"I said, why are you still timid? The two of us are responsible directors today. We will guide the acting of equally responsible actors. We have a clear conscience. What are you afraid of?"

Liu Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "He is upright and has a clear conscience! Don't think that others don't know what you want to do."

"Then what do you think I want to do?" Li Mu asked.

"You want to do..." Liu Yifei only said half of the sentence, and then saw her sit down on the edge of the sofa, "Didn't you say you want to teach me acting? Come on!"

Li Mu also sat down opposite Liu Yifei, and then he pushed the paper and pen that he had prepared in front of Liu Yifei.

"If you want to act out the feeling of fear, you must first understand where the fear comes from."

Liu Yifei discovered that Li Mu was really teaching her how to act!

"Fear comes from our need to survive, it's part of our innate survival instinct, because fear activates those parts of the body system that control movement - the blood and adrenaline flow increases, the flow increases, and this To move faster, to think faster, and to be more heroic than usual."

"In creating organic fear, you have to find something important in your life that, when faced with a life-or-death situation, you will feel at risk of not being alive to see, do, or solve it. Very regrettable."

……

"In order to identify specific personal events that you use to create fear, you make a list of all the things you might regret."

"for example:"

"If I died today, I would never be able to make my father (mother, child, sibling or partner) proud of me."

"If I were to die today, I wouldn't be able to take care of my financially incompetent (or old and infirm) mother (father, siblings, partner, children, etc.) who were always by my side to take care of me."

"If I died today, I would never get married."

"If I were to die today, I would never hear my father (mother, partner, ex-partner, sibling, friend, uncle, etc.) say anything about the abuse he had on me (sexual harassment, abandonment, betrayal, etc.) 'sorry'."

……

"Make a list of your regrets, pick the one that is most difficult to let go of, imagine that you achieve it perfectly, and then you die today, and you will never have the opportunity to truly achieve it like you just imagined, And the worst is bound to happen, and then repeat silently: 'I must live!'”

……

Liu Yifei was absent-minded at the beginning, but gradually she was really thinking about how to act fear well. She also made a list of her regrets at Li Mu's request, but she refused to show the contents of the list to Li Mu. .

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Liu Yifei happily put the list in his pocket.She thinks that the method Li Mu taught her is useful, but whether it is useful or not will not be known until tomorrow.

But no matter what, today's trip was not in vain, and she still gained something.

"It's getting late, I have to go back to wash and sleep." Liu Yifei stood up and stretched.

"Well, that's good, I'll see you off." Li Mu also stood up and said.

"Okay, then I'm leaving." Liu Yifei said.

"Okay, I'll see you off." Li Mu said in the car wheel.

"gone."

"it is good."

Liu Yifei walked to the door with strides, only to see her arms hanging in the air, looking like she was going to open the door, but actually she didn't move.

At this time, she turned around suddenly, and then slightly raised her head to look at Li Mu who was close at hand.

Li Mu is half as tall as he is, and he is very handsome. The key is that he is really good. She never knew that Li Mu was so important in the eyes of Hollywood. It turns out that the two scripts he wrote by hand already have the ability to hit the Oscar statuette. possibility.

And it is the most important Best Picture award among all Oscar awards!

The messy thoughts in his head followed one after another, Liu Yifei suddenly leaned back slowly, and his whole body was already leaning against the door.

Seeing this, Li Mu stepped forward to bully him.
