Chapter 125 Chapter 124 Nolan, Promotion

There is new news from Tudou Video.

The third round of financing will be launched in April this year. More than 4 foreign venture capital institutions want to participate in this financing.

Li Mu continued to direct Dream Capital to follow up.

At this time, Nolan called. He was filming "Batman: The Dark Knight" in Hong Kong.

The purpose of the call is very simple. It means that I have come to your country and you are not allowed to treat me to a meal?

Li Mu smiled, this Nolan was also a bit interesting.

After looking at the recent arrangements, I saw that there was nothing going on anyway, so I could drop by the Emperor to discuss other matters.

He agreed directly.

The news that Nolan appeared in Hong Kong attracted the attention of many people. After all, he is a big director in Hollywood. Many people are thinking about how to get in touch with him, and it is best to get on the line.

Naturally, what I think about the most are the major film and television companies in Hong Kong.

In Liu Yifei's villa, Liu Xiaoli and Shu Chang were serving dishes. Only Liu Yifei was still on the sofa, with her little feet still dangling in the air.

"Stinky girl, hurry up and serve the food." Liu Xiaoli was furious when she saw this.

"I have to open the door for Amu." Before Liu Yifei finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Liu Yifei quickly put on her slippers and ran to open the door.

"A Mu!" Liu Yifei jumped directly onto Li Mu.

Li Mu quickly held it up with his hands and looked at it.

"Don't worry, they are all in the kitchen." Liu Yifei didn't care at all.

"Okay, let's go, the food is on the way." Li Mu smelled the aroma of the food as soon as he walked in.

The two walked into the living room, where Shu Chang and Liu Xiaoli were already seated.

"Hey, you don't have to make announcements today?" Li Mu was a little surprised.

"It just happened to be an announcement from the Imperial Capital. I came here after running around." Shu Chang explained.

"This "Flowers Blooming with Sound" is good, it can be considered as doing some charity!"

Li Mu was somewhat impressed by this drama, a TV drama about disabled people.

Shu Chang nodded, that was why she came to this drama.

"Qian Qian has no plans recently, right?" Li Mu remembered the topic and asked.

"Hey, I have to make announcements and go to class again." Liu Yifei was still muttering.

Liu Xiaoli and Shu Chang looked at each other, both of them seemed to be a bit incredulous.

They feel that they must be hallucinating. Have these things happened?

Why don't you have any impression at all?

The more Li Mu listened, the more he felt something was wrong. According to Liu Yifei, she shouldn't show up at home now.

But still on the way to make announcements.

"Let's go to Xiangjiang together." Li Mu interrupted Liu Yifei's muttering.

Liu Yifei's bright eyes instantly shone and she asked happily: "Really?"

Li Mu said angrily, "It's true, it's guaranteed to be true."

Liu Yifei happily took two bites of rice.

Li Mu came this time and said hello to the Emperor. The two sides still had something to discuss.

The Emperor sent someone to pick up Li Mu and Liu Yifei, and there was a bodyguard car behind the car, following closely.

The paparazzi here in Xiangjiang are extraordinary, not a tiny bit better than those in the interior now.

Li Mu didn't want to be surrounded on the road, so asking the Emperor to come forward was the best choice.

"Batman: The Dark Knight" is being filmed at the Hong Kong International Financial Center where the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong is located. Batman is being filmed swooping down from the top of the tower of the Hong Kong International Financial Center.
At this time, there were still many passers-by watching the filming, and a cordon was set up around them. Nolan almost always shoots movies in real scenes.

It can be shot in real scenes without special effects. Some people even joked that they didn't even know what green cloth was.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei got out of the car under the protection of bodyguards and entered the security circle directly.

Nolan was preparing to shoot the next plot at this time, and was quite happy to see Li Mu coming.

"Li, long time no see." Nolan gave him a big hug directly.

"Long time no see." Li Mu also replied.

Nolan saw there was a little girl next to him. Just as Li Muchang wanted to introduce her, Nolan had already spoken first.

"Crystal?"

"Do you know each other?" Li Mu was a little confused.

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and snickered.

"Crystal answered the phone when I was sick."

"Mr. Nolan!" Liu Yifei also said hello.

"Crystal, you are the girl with the most oriental beauty I have ever seen. No wonder Li falls in love with you." Nolan also joked.

Liu Yifei blushed slightly and said thank you.

At this time, the male lead Christian Bale and the male supporting actor Heath Ledger also stepped forward.

Christian Bale can also be regarded as Nolan's leading actor.

Li Mu had met him several times at the Warner Annual Meeting and the Oscars, but this was the first time he met Heath Ledger.

This clown is really a classic. I heard that Heath Ledger locked himself in a hotel to isolate himself from the outside world in order to get into the role better, and also went to a mental hospital to experience the chaos and madness there.

His performance should be regarded as the best performance in all DC movies, not just the best villain performance.

"Great actor!" Li Mu looked at Heath Ledger and said to Nolan.

"The clown he performed surprised me, and it may also surprise the audience." Nolan also recognized this evaluation. He had already felt during the filming that this clown might be more attractive than Batman.

It can even be said that if it were not for this being a superhero movie, the Joker would be the protagonist of this movie.

"Pay more attention to his mental condition. It can be seen that he is not particularly stable now." Li Mu still reminded him.

Nolan nodded, he actually felt it too.

"I have already brought in the person for the role of the Dream Builder in Inception." Li Mu smiled, and his meaning was very clear. Nolan's "Inception" has almost entered the filming period.

It is inevitable that a lot of time will be wasted in the later stages of "Inception".

"Crystal? Did you already choose the person?" Nolan suddenly remembered what happened at that time and said with a smile.

"No problem. I have seen her performance in "I Am Legend" and she is very suitable for this role."

Nolan also has no doubts about the choice of this role. After all, this was already negotiated back then, and the candidate provided by Li Mu is indeed very suitable.

Liu Yifei also heard the conversation between the two, and looked at Li Mu with beautiful eyes, showing even more gentleness.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei's visit to Nolan was not hidden from the paparazzi in Xiangjiang. After all, there was a crowd of spectators outside the cordon, including reporters.

The few people were chatting and laughing and were photographed.

Soon it spread throughout Xiangjiang and the mainland.

"Li Mu visits Nolan, suspected of cooperating on a new movie!"

"Liu Yifei accompanied Li Mu to visit Nolan. The two are suspected to be in love!"

"Yifei Liu may star in a Nolan movie!"

Various reports are coming out.

Li Mu and Nolan, these two world-class directors, are full of topics, and Liu Yifei is also there, which adds to the popularity.The Emperor had already learned that Li Mu was going to visit Nolan. After all, they had prepared the car.

"Boss, Zhen Zidan is here." The secretary whispered in his ear.

"Let him in."

Zhen Zi took three steps and walked quickly.

"Mr. Yang!" Zhen Zidan lowered his head and shouted.

"What? What do you want from me?" He also had no idea what the purpose of Zhen Zidan's visit was.

"I heard that Director Li is coming to Xiangjiang. I was wondering if I should pay him a visit. I came here specifically to ask for your instructions." Zhen Zidan suggested.

"Well, we really should pay a visit." Yang then glanced at Zhen Zidan. He knew very well why Zhen Zidan came here specially, but he also had some thoughts.

Zhen Zi looked happy. He knew that it was directors like Li Mu who could really make his acting career take off. It would be a great thing to have more contacts with him.

"You should come too." Yang thought for a while, he was still the leading actor in the movie after all, so it wouldn't hurt to meet him.

At this time, Nolan had already started filming, and Li Mu and Liu Yifei were also watching. It was really dangerous for Nolan to shoot this action scene.

After filming several scenes, Li Mu was planning to treat Nolan to a meal as a token of friendship.

Several black cars quickly stopped by the cordon, and Yang Shoucheng and Zhen Zidan got out of the car, accompanied by their bodyguards.

Li Mu frowned slightly and had no choice but to go over to greet him.

"Director Li!" Emperor Yang and Zhen Zidan shouted respectively.

Li Mu nodded and responded, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhen."

"Mr. Yang, what are you doing?" Li Mu had no intention of inviting him to the dinner. After all, Li Mu came here as a private invitation and decided to play the role of Dream Builder.

"Brother, come here, I have to be the host no matter what." Yinghuang Yang said his intention. He also wanted to use Li Mu's relationship to establish a line with Nolan.

Of course Li Mu doesn't know this intention, and these old foxes have no worries.

However, Li Mu had no intention of letting anyone else get involved in this private situation.

"Mr. Yang, it's not convenient today. Let's change the appointment." The meaning of Li Mu's words was already obvious.

Yang couldn't see any change on the surface, but Zhen Zidan already showed a disappointed look.

He came not only for Li Mu this time, but also for Nolan. He usually didn't have the resources to come into contact with a director of this level.

"Okay, it's settled then." Yang also knew that he was impatient and was afraid of upsetting Li Mu, so he said without hesitation.

After a slight nod of greeting, he quickly got into the car with Zhen Zidan and returned.

Li Mu looked at the car going away, wondering what he was thinking.

At the evening invitation, Li Mu, Liu Yifei, Nolan and several leading actors attended.

A few people had a great time talking.

The next day Nolan was interviewed by reporters while filming.

"Director Nolan, director Li Mu came to visit the team yesterday. Do you have any new cooperation?"

"We are very good friends. If we were to collaborate, we would have decided on the movie many years ago."

Nolan's words directly triggered the reporters on the scene.

"Director Nolan, can you reveal some information about the project you are about to collaborate on?"

"Director Nolan."

"Sorry, these need to be kept secret."

"Director Nolan, is Liu Yifei a character in your new movie?"

"Liu is indeed an important character in the movie." Nolan nodded. This was already confirmed information anyway.

After Nolan answered two or three questions in succession, he stopped responding.

Nolan and Li Mu dropped a bomb in the circle with information about a new movie collaboration.

It exploded instantly.

The news that two major Hollywood directors had decided on a movie many years ago is a breaking point in itself.

Liu Yifei's acquisition of an important role in the new movie made actors in the industry extremely jealous.

After all, these are Li Mu and Nolan, two rare top directors in the Hollywood circle.

"No wonder he rejected the King of Kung Fu." Li Binbin muttered to himself after seeing the news.

After all, Nolan and Rob Minkoff, there is no comparison between the two.

"I really envy you, Senior Sister Liu Yifei." At this time, Jingtian stayed in the room, staring at the computer screen, looking a little blank.

She has already learned that she has been admitted to Nortel and will be a freshman in September this year.

In the Nortel girls' dormitory, Yuan Shanshan saw the website information and shouted loudly: "Mimi, look, Senior Sister Liu Yifei is going to play a role in a Hollywood movie again."

Yang Mi remained indifferent in her seat. She was tired of hearing these news.

She has obviously worked so hard, why is the gap getting wider and wider?

This year she didn't even have any scenes to film, so she could only participate in the performance class's annual exam piece "BJ Man".

In the Emperor's reception room, Li Mu came alone. Liu Yifei was indifferent to these things and did not accompany him.

"Director Li!" The Emperor was very polite, and the two rows of bodyguards gave Li Mu more face.

Zhen Zidan stood behind him and greeted him respectfully.

"Director Li, there are only three months left before the premiere of "Ip Man"." Yang didn't mention what happened yesterday and directly introduced the topic.

"Director Li, I will definitely cooperate with the publicity! You can go wherever you want." Zhen Zidan said impatiently and immediately patted his chest and promised.

Li Mu looked at Zhen Zidan with interest, and then looked at the boss Ying Huang with a playful expression.

The man's face didn't look changed, but Li Mu clearly felt his discomfort.

"Okay, then run a little more." Li Mu smiled and didn't care.

"Mr. Yang, we can start publicity. We have talked before. Why don't we dig deeper into Ip Man's story, such as his life..."

Yinghuang Yang's eyes lit up, "Yes, it's time to publicize it. I'll have someone do it right away."

Li Mu didn't stay too long. Anyway, he had reminded everything that needed to be reminded, and the rest relied on publicity.

Not only the Emperor's side, Mengying's side also had to keep up.

After Yang sent Li Mu off, Zhen Zidan also made an excuse to leave.

Seeing Donnie Yen leaving, he was a little annoyed, but he remembered Li Mu's proposal back then. The contract for "Ip Man" was signed for 3 films in one signing. Although the remuneration would fluctuate depending on the box office, overall it was still under control. Within a certain range.

If you don't shoot, then I'm sorry. There are ten thousand ways to deal with you, and the liquidated damages alone are too much to pay.

Li Mu was still thinking about the long term, and this Zhen Zidan was a bit immature.

She actually expressed her loyalty to Li Mu in front of him just now, which was a bit of a slap in the face.

There is news again about Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" in China, and the male lead may be played by Li Ming.

Li Ming's fans are looking forward to it. After all, Li Ming's appearance is really good at this time, and it seems that he is a good choice to play the role.

The South Korean movie "The Monster from the Han River" that once dominated the charts last year was released in the mainland. Unfortunately, domestic pirated copies have spread, and the box office was once lukewarm.

It has not shown that it is rampant in South Korea.

Subsequently, the cast of the big-budget "Red Cliff" resigned from the role of Zhuge Liang. Tony Leung reluctantly resigned from the role of Zhuge Liang. The reason given was that "Red Cliff" will start shooting at the end of this month, and the preparation time is not sufficient. In addition, it requires a lot of language training. After careful consideration I can only consider giving up this role reluctantly.

The new Zhuge Liang actor has not yet been determined, and the male actors have begun a new round of competition.

　I was just blocked, it’s embarrassing
