Chapter 238 2 million on the first day, 6.7 million on the first three days, global champion?

Li Mu called his parents who were far away in Xijing on New Year's Eve. He went back to Xijing a lot every year, but the number of times he went back to Xijing for reunions during the Chinese New Year was indeed less and less.With the increasing importance of the Spring Festival, in recent years, there have been important films released almost every New Year's Eve, so in recent years, Li Mu has basically stayed in Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

In the past, when they returned to Xijing, they would occasionally bring Liu Yifei with them. Li Mu's parents had some doubts about the choice of their son's girlfriend at first, but since their son liked it, and after getting in touch with them, they really felt that their son's vision was not bad. The couple gradually accepted Liu Yifei as the candidate for their future daughter-in-law.

This year, Li Mu made a video call to his parents like in previous years. After chatting for less than 10 minutes, the mother on the other end of the phone threw his father Li Yuansheng out of the living room, and then asked Li Mu to hand the phone to Liu Yifei who was next to him. Mu was a little baffled, and didn't know what her own mother had to say that even his own son was unwilling to say, but she wanted to say it to her son's girlfriend.

Although a little confused, Li Mu still handed the phone to Liu Yifei, and then the mother Liu Xiaohui in the video asked Liu Yifei to come to the room, and it seemed that the two of them wanted to chat alone.

Li Mu sat alone in the living room and studied the question of the protagonist of "Now You See Me".

The four magic masters in this movie, the so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, except for the heroine who is sure to use Liu Yifei, the candidates for the other three knights have not yet been determined.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so Li Mu simply started researching candidates.

Among them, the head of the four knights is a master of deception and a poker fast card expert.For this role, Li Mu already has four preliminary candidates in mind, namely Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, Lei Jiayin and Duan Yihong. He is more inclined to Deng Chao, but he thinks the other three are also good. As for who will be used in the end, I'm afraid I'll have to talk to all four of them to be sure.

There is also a master hypnotist among the four knights, and he is also the oldest of the four knights.The character in the original film was played by Woody Harrelson.This is a middle-aged man with very little hair. When Li Mu saw this man, the first person he thought of was Guo Da. In fact, the two are not very similar in appearance, at least not Guo Da and Jason Statham. They are similar, but Li Mu still thinks that maybe Guo Da will be suitable for this role.

Guo Da's acting skills are still very good. Diao Guangdou played by him in "The Criminal of the Great Song Dynasty" once left a very deep impression on Li Mu.

When I have a chance in the next year, I still have to meet in person.

The rest is the last of the four knights, that is, the thief. This character is a street swindler. In the original movie, the thief is the youngest of the four knights, and it seems to be the least existent of the four knights. bit.

For this role, Li Mu intends to ask Zhang Songwen to try it out.The two have cooperated before. In Huashang's classic TV series "Latent", Zhang Songwen played the role of the second dragon who will carry the black dragon. In the episode where the 94th Army bribed the station chief's Stubbs car, that one replaced Yu Zecheng. It was this Long Er who checked the money.

Li Mu had Zhang Songwen's phone number stored in his cell phone, and he was going to call Zhang Songwen himself after he was done with the release of "Non-囧" and invite him to try it out.

The original actor of the remaining magic revealer is Morgan Freeman, who is already an old friend of Li Mu. Li Mu's first work "Assassin" and the film "Super Body" starring Li Lianhua have this man Morgan Freeman figure.

Also in the cast is a billionaire who is also an investor in the Four Horsemen.In the original film, this role was played by Michael Caine, who is also an old acquaintance of Li Mu. I still want to keep using him.

While Li Mu was researching actors outside, Liu Yifei in the room had already talked about marriage with Li Mu's mother, Liu Xiaohui.

Liu Xiaohui had talked with Li Mu about this topic before, but without exception, she was confused by Li Mu. Seeing that her son is already 28 years old, and he is about to turn [-], Liu Xiaohui is really worried, and this is how he is today Talk to Liu Yifei alone.

Through side-talking, Liu Xiaohui finally determined that the reason why her son is not married for the time being is that the root cause of the disease lies with her son, and Liu Yifei has no intention of not wanting to get married.

So in the end Liu Xiaohui told Liu Yifei that if Li Mu didn't take the initiative to mention it when she was thirty, she would have a showdown with her son.

In fact, if Li Mu's career hadn't been too big, his parents would have urged him to get married long ago, and it was precisely because Li Mu's career was too big that his parents were not very good at interfering in his private affairs.

The son is too capable, and when the parents give their opinions, they will instinctively feel guilty.

After Liu Yifei came out of the room, his whole face was rosy, and he hummed a little song unconsciously. Li Mu joked when he saw it: "Look, it's my mother who gave you red envelopes, right? Let me tell you, no matter how big the red envelope is, I have half of it."

Liu Yifei strode to the sofa and sat down on his buttocks, muttering in his mouth: "Red envelope, you are almost 30 years old. Confucius said that you will not be confused at thirty, and you will not be confused when you are almost old. It's shameful to think about the red envelope."

Li Mu stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, and then joked: "That's right, in ancient times, you got married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and it was almost when you were 30--you have taken in several concubines!"

He wanted to say that the ancients were about to become grandpas at the age of 30, but the words turned into concubines without knowing it, causing Liu Yifei to raise his hand and pinch him. Spank her ass.

……

On January 2012, 1, the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the movie "People on Journeys, Not Laughs" was officially released nationwide.

The audience's enthusiasm for "Non-囧" is still very high. From the first "People on the Journey", to "Thailand" with jaw-dropping results, and then to "Non-囧" directed by Li Mu himself, The influence of the "囧" series in this time and space is far greater than that of the previous life.

For a while, both professional observers and ordinary netizens almost unanimously believed that "Fei囧" would definitely create a new record. Almost everyone was full of confidence in Li Mu and "Fei囧", as if the only The only one who lacks confidence in "Non-囧" is Li Mu himself.

At noon that day, Douban.com officially released the film's ratings. More than 1 people gave "Fei囧" a high score of 7.9, which has fully met Li Mu's previous psychological expectations.

On the same day, Li Mu also looked through netizens' comments for a long time. When he saw that most of the netizens had positive views on the film, Li Mu happily held Liu Yifei's face and kissed again and again.

Liu Yifei raised his hands as if surrendering, and said angrily and amusedly: "Is it true? Are you really so happy? Or are you just pretending to take the opportunity to rub my face with drool? "Inception" is so popular , The evaluation is so high, I didn't see you like this at the time!"

Li Mu stopped when he heard the words, and said in his heart: "That's right, my reaction seems to be a bit too big, right, what's the matter?"

Then he immediately thought: "Don't care about him! My own girlfriend, what's wrong with kissing twice?"

So he held up his face and kissed again, then let go of Liu Yifei, and said with a smile: "Isn't it that you are more beautiful and charming now than you were then? I couldn't hold it back then, but now I can hold it even more Can't stop."

Liu Yifei hugged Li Mu's waist, looked up at Li Mu, and asked, "Nonsense, people say that men always like eighteen, and I'm almost 25 years old this year."

Li Muyi said rightly: "Nonsense, even if someone offered me a hundred Sister Feng in exchange, and asked me to choose a thousand times or ten thousand times, I would choose you who are 25 or even 55 years old without hesitation."

Liu Yifei said: "What if we take Yang Mi, add Fan Binbin, add Gao Yuanyuan, add Jingtian, add Zhao Liying, add Song Jia, add Tong Liya, and finally add another Liu Shishi? Take eight of them to trade with you now For me, do you still want to change?"

"Um...this..."

"You hesitated!"

"I--"

"I still hesitated for eight seconds!"

"no--"

"Eight people, just hesitated for eight seconds, you must have gone through all eight of them in your mind just now."

"Well, even if it is, isn't it normal? When someone mentions the name of a familiar person to you, you will also have a comparison of their appearance in your mind?"

"Maybe I'm still fantasizing about gangsters!"

"This is definitely not there!"

"there must be!"

"Definitely not!"

"There must be, your expression was like that just now!"

……

Li Mu was too lazy to entangle on this topic, so he simply gave her a French wet kiss, and taught her a hard lesson on the sofa, and she finally calmed down.

Afterwards, Li Mu hugged the naked man, and couldn't help but think in his mind: "Damn, isn't it normal for me to hesitate for a few seconds? That's right, the one in my arms is fine, but there are eight of them on the other side." ! Can the man face such a multiple-choice question without confusion or hesitation?"

On January 1, the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office results of Li Mu's latest masterpiece "A Man on a Journey Is Not Embarrassed" were released on the first day. The film earned a total of 24 million yuan at the box office on the first day of its release, ranking first in the box office list of the day .

The runner-up is the imported film "Sherlock Holmes 9", which has been released for 2 days, with a single-day box office of 1119 million yuan.

The third place was won by "Reverse War", which was released on July 7, with a box office of 981 million that day.

The gap between the champion and the runner-up is as high as 2.2 million yuan. Such a huge gap is simply appalling.

At the same time, the entire domestic media was almost alarmed.

Previously, the film with the highest single-day box office in the domestic film market had a single-day box office record of around 1.5 million or 1.6 million yuan. As a result, this time "Non-囧" directly refreshed the domestic single-day box office record to 2.33 million!
Besides, whether it is the previous single-day record of 1.5 million or the single-day box office record of 1.6 million, the creators are almost without exception the works produced by Huashang Media. Some netizens are already saying, "Tomorrow is the only one who can beat Li Mu." Li Mu's words.

The topic of "non-囧" in the society has spread rapidly to every corner of every aspect.

For example, a netizen posted that when he went to the hospital to see how he was recovering from hernia surgery, he asked the doctor if he could go to the movies. "Ticket, the result was immediately banned by the doctor.

The doctor told him that it would be fine to watch ordinary movies, but he must be careful when watching "Non-囧", and be careful not to laugh too loudly and the wound will burst open.

In the end, the netizen was very depressed and said that if he had known about it, he would have waited to have the surgery after watching "Non-囧".

Netizens expressed sympathy for this: "Let's watch it when you're almost recovered. I'm a normal person and my stomach hurts from laughing after watching it, not to mention you just had hernia surgery."

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the second day after the film was released, it earned a total of 2.24 million yuan at the box office.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, before the film's box office was calculated on the third day of its release, another piece of news related to Li Mu exploded on the Chinese Internet in an instant.

原来就在当天，也就是美国太平洋时间2012年的1月24日晚9点半，美国电影艺术与科学学院奖正式公布第84届奥斯卡金像奖提名名单。

Among them, "The Revenant", directed by Li Mu himself and starring Tom Hanks, was nominated for twelve awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Cinematography at the 84th Academy Awards.

You must know that at the 82nd Oscar just two years ago, Li Mu had just won many awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, etc. At that time, the media were saying that Li Mu had created An unprecedented miracle, the result?
In just two years, is the "unprecedented" miracle about to make a comeback?
Some netizens even expressed very confused:

"Didn't it mean that "The Revenant" is a commercial blockbuster? I don't like this subject very much, so I haven't watched it yet, but I seem to have heard that the global box office of this film seems to be as high as 6.2 million U.S. dollars? Is there really such a high-grossing film? Do you have a chance to win another Oscar?"

Another netizen said: "The global box office is already so strong, if Li Mu wins an Oscar again, is this really the way for Li Mu to turn himself into a unique one in China?"

Soon some netizens said: "It's not a unique rhythm, but Li Mu himself has made himself the only one in China! Other domestic directors, no matter who they are, can't compare with Li Mu. Now, there are few people who can be compared with Li Mu in the whole world."

"My God, awesome!"

Some netizens couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Let's talk about the box office of the film "Not Embarrassed".

"Not Embarrassed" earned 2.33 million yuan at the box office on the first day, 2.24 million yuan on the second day, and 2.13 million yuan on the third day.

So far, the film has been screened in China for three days, and the cumulative box office is 6.7 million. It is quite shocking that the box office has exceeded 2 million in a single day for three consecutive days.

Director Feng Xiaogang, who is currently filming the movie "2", has mixed feelings when he sees the box office of "Not Embarrassed" surpassing [-] million for three consecutive days.

On the one hand, he has confidence in the new film he is shooting, but on the other hand, he feels that there is a high probability that his "[-]" will not achieve the same results as "Non-囧" today.

This makes people uncomfortable.

He has a good relationship with Li Mu, Li Mu's movie box office is a big hit, he will be happy for Li Mu, but happiness is happiness, and comparison is still necessary.Seeing the box office of Li Mu's movies getting higher and higher, while his own movies are likely to be unable to catch up, as a director Feng Xiaogang who has won many national box office champions, he is not so happy after all.

Compared with the shock and dullness shown by other domestic directors when they watched the box office results of "Not Embarrassed", ordinary domestic audiences have already entered the carnival mode.

"The box office of the first three days was 6.7 million, which is nearly 1 million U.S. dollars! "Non-囧" seems to have become the world's premiere box office champion in the domestic market alone? I remember that "Inception" was so good back then. The North American box office was only 8700 million U.S. dollars, and now "Non-囧" is close to 1 million U.S. dollars domestically! Why do you suddenly feel that our mainland film market is about to be able to compete with the North American film market?"

"I'm stupid, are you so awesome?"

"It's awesome, but it's a pity that those who can get this result in China are basically 'Li Mu films'. It's not that the Chinese film market can compete with the North American market, but that the Chinese film market with Li Mu is about to be able to compete with the North American film market." The market has broken its arms."
