China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 16
The next day, various reports from domestic and foreign media came out.

Of course, the headline makers have to look at China. At this time, Li Mu was attracted by the headline of the Southern Entertainment News.

"Shocked, Director Li Mu lost his job in Hollywood and may have been abandoned by Warner Bros."

Not only is the title attractive, but the articles inside are also quite logical. At first glance, it really looks like that.

If it weren't for Li Mu, he probably would have believed it himself.

He was a talented person. Li Mu wrote down the name of the editor under the newspaper.

"Li Mu won the first Oscar in China"

"China has lost two of its best, but Li Mu is still the winner in life."

"Zhang Yimou missed the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film"

"Chinese directors were suppressed, "Little Miss Sunshine" missed the best picture, and "Hero" Zhang lost the best foreign language film"

Various entertainment news, Li Mu and Lao Mouzi occupied half of the page.There were both praises and ridicules. Among them, "Hero" carried a lot of firepower, and Zhang Weiping, the big-mouthed cannon, contributed a lot.

Li Mu has officially entered the eyes of the general public. The charm of the Oscar statuette was like a pass to high status in the entertainment industry in 03.

Let's put it this way, even if Li Mu pats a pig in the future, it will still be a pig with gold trim.

No, Li Mucai returned to Nortel from the reporters, and the banner was already hung.

"Congratulations to director Li Mu of our school for his work "Little Miss Sunshine", which won the Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress awards at the 75th Academy Awards."

Li Mu looked at the banner with interest. Not to mention, it felt good to be praised.

No wonder there were many treacherous and sycophant ministers around the ancient emperors. Who could withstand them? Let alone seduce cadres. Even if he seduced the emperor, he could do it right.

When he returned to school, Li Mu really felt that he was popular. The entire acting department teachers and some teachers from the directing department, as well as professors who were not in class, all gathered here.

Even teachers from other departments such as the photography department, music department, and dance department next door also came.

All the teachers’ eyes were focused on Li Mu, the Oscar winner.

This is China's first Oscar, a strange thing.

Movies are imported, art created by foreigners, and those in the movie industry have an almost pathological pursuit of foreign awards.

Changing this phenomenon requires enhancing Chinese cultural confidence and opening up the domestic film market, which cannot be accomplished overnight.

Even though the Chinese film market was on the rise in Li Mu's previous life, the Oscars are still the highest honor for world cinema and are the pursuit and dream of countless filmmakers.

"This is the Oscar statuette. It's so damn good-looking." Zhou Liang gently stroked the trophy that Li Mu brought back, loving it.

"Take your hand away, don't tarnish the honor of our director." Tian Zhuangzhuang, director of the directing department, was very rude. He snatched the statuette and looked at it.

"What's the directing department? Li Mu is from our acting department." Zhou Liang's face darkened. This guy was so full of bad intentions that he tried to steal the credit from their acting department, but there was no way.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's face didn't look good either. Because of this incident, he had been lectured many times by his superiors.

"Li Mu, you should transfer to the directing department. What's so good about the acting department? Come to the directing department and I'll teach you personally." Tian Zhuangzhuang no longer hid his thoughts at this time and started poaching people in front of Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang instantly became furious. Anyone who dares to rob me is tired of living.

Immediately ask the teacher below to send Li Mu away, and get the person involved first to avoid accidental injuries in the subsequent battle.

The two groups were noisy in the office, making it as noisy as a vegetable market.

Li Mu's original plan was to stay in the acting department for two years and then transfer back to study directing for the next two years.

Now he has changed his mind. He plans to stay in the acting department and is too lazy to change.However, he didn't want to talk about this matter clearly, as it would be troublesome to offend those face-conscious directors.

In the corridor, Li Mu felt a bit like a giant panda in the zoo, being stared at wherever he went.

Many bold girls came over to ask for their contact information or left their contact information. It was not until Zhu Yawen came to the rescue that they got away.

The two finally escaped from the school and found a restaurant to have lunch.

I was targeted by reporters again.
In order to eat, Li Mu gave in, answered a few questions, and reluctantly sent the reporters away.

"It's not easy to have a meal with you now. We have to go up to the mountains to fight." Zhu Yawen kept mouthing with chicken stuffed in his mouth.

"I kind of regret starring in High School Musical." Li Mu patted his head, imagining what would happen next.

As a director, Li Mu doesn't want to go to the front desk.His dream is to become a director like Nolan or Cameron, and the audience will walk into the cinema when they hear the director's name.

At China Film, Mr. Han and Li Mu are communicating about the domestic release of "Little Miss Sunshine", and China Film and Enlight are responsible for the promotion.

Li Mu had no requirements for the premiere, but Han Sanye strongly requested it, and held it in a big way. After all, this was a political achievement, and China Film Group would not give up no matter what.

Li Mu had no choice but to call David and ask David to inform the crew and make a trip to China.

As time goes by, there are more and more news about the upcoming release of "Little Miss Sunshine", which has added to the Oscar halo. Many people expressed that they are very much looking forward to the movie.

After more than 20 days of announcements, the premiere of "Little Miss Sunshine" officially started on April 4.12th.

All the entertainment companies in the imperial capital sent people to participate, and Huayi was no exception.

Li Mu also nodded to Wang Zhongjun and expressed his thoughts.

Many directors and stars came.Brother Chen Kai and Lao Mouzi were all here. Li Mu chatted with the two senior brothers for a long time. The other actors saw the three great directors chatting aside and did not dare to come forward to disturb them.

It wasn't until the premiere was about to begin that the three of them reluctantly returned to their seats.

"It seems that the chat with your junior brother was not bad." Chen Hong sat in the front row and communicated with Brother Chen Kai in a low voice.

"A very powerful young man, many ideas have inspired me a lot." Brother Chen Kai made no secret of his admiration for Li Mu.

"Oh, then we can make an appointment at home when you have time and have a good communication." Chen Hong was a little surprised. She knew how proud her husband was, and only Lao Mouzi could catch his eye among the directors.

A seemingly relaxing family comedy, but the ending was unexpected. The wonderful ending design immediately amazed everyone present.

At the end of the movie, the applause sounded like thunder.

Lao Mouzi looked at the big screen with unfinished content and murmured, "This ending is great."

When it was time for reporters to ask questions, Li Mu was the only Chinese in the crew, and he was also the biggest star.

"At first I wanted to make a comedy. Later during the creative process, I found that the plot could be designed like this."

Li Mu slowly explained to reporters’ questions.

When a reporter asked about box office estimates, Li Mu did not hesitate and said directly:

"As for the box office, it should be over [-] million!"

Reporters asked crazy questions, and Li Mu also cooperated. After all, it was still his own movie, and he couldn't be vague when it came time to promote it.

Wang Zhonglei looked at Li Mu who was surrounded by reporters in front and said quietly.

"Brother, do you want to continue what you asked me to do last time?"

"Don't be too harsh and try to take it out yourself." Wang Zhongjun gave a clear reply.

The box office is released in the early morning.

"Little Miss Sunshine" earned 132 million in the early morning.

In the following two weekends, the box office was 771 million on Saturday, 901 million on Sunday, and the total box office in the three days was 1804 million.

Major companies are crying wolf, fearing that this approach is aimed at over [-] million box office.

Some movies that will be released next week have secretly changed their schedules. If you give in to Li Mu, you will lose face. If you show a hard face, you will be a fool.

The country is about to become the second director with a box office of over RMB [-] million.

The last one was Lao Mouzi from "Hero" at the end of last year.

All the directors were envious for a moment. They all had their own thoughts and wanted to make a blockbuster to prove themselves. Li Mu's intervention brought China Entertainment's blockbuster era ahead of schedule.

Liu Yifei, who was still filming on the set, also called specifically to congratulate him.

Liu’s mother also sent a text message to congratulate her.

Many people knew his mobile phone number, and there were too many text messages on his phone to read. Li Mu selectively replied to a few messages and then stopped reading them.

The next week, "Little Miss Sunshine" once again grossed 2642 million, retaining the mainland's weekly box office championship, surpassing the box office in the first week, and its good reputation gradually developed.
