China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 184
"Under the Red Cliff" was released on January 1. The box office exceeded 7 million in the first week, and the box office continued to remain strong in the second week.

A China Film spokesperson expressed that he was very satisfied with this result. He said that the real consumption climax of the Spring Festival period will come this week. China Film remains optimistic about achieving the box office goal of [-] million.

Li Mu couldn't bear to look at it. How did you think of breaking through 4 million? You didn't even read the comments on the Internet. The audience was scolded.

With its shocking lines and funny plot, "Under the Red Cliff" inherited the residual warmth of the previous film, but it was the character of Sun Shucai that earned the audience's tears.

Within a few days, the domestic animation "Pleasant Goat" surpassed "Red Cliff Beneath" at the box office on its opening day.

The news that "2012" was scheduled to be released in China soon spread. This movie is being watched by many film companies, especially companies that have movies released this year.

Movies that haven’t been scheduled yet will be immediately abandoned in July and August. There are so many blockbusters that it’s just a matter of death to enter them.

Those who have already made a reservation, especially those who bumped into a schedule, are so worried now that they feel like their hair is turning gray.

"Switch gears, don't be stubborn."

"."

Han Sanping has received a lot of requests from companies to adjust schedules in the past few days, and he can't laugh or cry.

He also discussed the matter with Li Mu, but Li Mu had no choice. This movie could not be compared with Avatar. It would only hurt both sides, and there would be no benefit.

The only thing left was the summer vacation, and those who bumped into it could only say that they were unlucky.

Compared with Li Mu's success, Lu Xun feels very uncomfortable now, let alone the schedule, "Nanjing!"Nanjing! "It hasn't been reviewed yet, so there is still work to be done behind the film.

Mengying Media's "Insidious" caused a craze for spy dramas at the end of the year. It was broadcast for 10 consecutive days and ranked first in the ratings, with a maximum ratings of 5.4%.

The second round has been won by four TV stations and will be broadcast in the second round on April 4.

Mengying Media has made a lot of money, winning three major harvests: ratings, profits, and reputation.

“Finally, I don’t have to envy the bonuses from the film production department next door.”

"I heard from the boss that the bonus will not be small this year."

Although the TV drama production department has received a lot of bonuses in recent years, it is still not enough for movies.

"Insidious" is a TV series that can bring long-term benefits. It has a long lifespan, and this year is also its 60th anniversary. For "Insidious", there are only benefits.

Li Mu was not stingy and gave a little more bonus to the TV series.

In addition to Mengying's "Latent", the recent red-era love drama "A Woman's Epic" also has good ratings, ranking first among the programs in its time period.

Although this TV series about Jingtian is about Zhao Zhetian Kangqi, Jingtian was exposed a lot in interviews, and many viewers got to know Jingtian through this TV series.

"Tiantian, you will star in the next historical TV series." Lu Zheng was very satisfied when he said this. This TV series was produced by his own company just to praise himself.

"I just feel that TV dramas are still a bit inferior to movies. I need to gain some popularity first. I'm keeping an eye on the big directors in the industry. Director Li hasn't started filming yet. If I get the chance, I'll help you get it."

Lu Zheng still wanted Jingtian to pursue a career in movies.

"Yeah." When Jingtian heard the word Li Mu, his eyes lit up with anticipation.

In the last few days before the Spring Festival, what Li Mu did not expect was that he would once again make the headlines in this way.

"What kind of story does Miyazaki expect from Li Mu's animated film?"

The media have reprinted and reported interviews from Japanese media.

The reason is that Hayao Miyazaki's "Ponyo on the Cliff" attracted nearly 1300 million admissions in the first half year of its release in Japan, and its box office revenue reached 154 billion yen (approximately RMB 13 billion), successfully ranking among the highest in the history of Toho Film Company The 5th highest-grossing film.

During the interview, the reporter once again asked about the details of the communication between Li Mu and the two of them after the premiere when Hayao Miyazaki was in Venice.

Hayao Miyazaki didn't hide it. He bluntly said that Li Mu had communicated with him about an animated film. He thought it was very good and hoped to see this work in the cinema.

Li Mu burst out laughing after seeing the report. This animated film will take two years even if it starts production now. It will not be seen in a short time. It is a pity that this wave of publicity has happened.

If it were to be released soon, I would save a lot of publicity expenses by doing this.

Japan's animated film market is really huge, and I don't know how much "2012" can hit the box office in Japan.

"Ah Mu, tell me, what's the story of that cartoon?" Liu Yifei lay on Li Mu's back, put her hands around his neck, and breathed softly into Li Mu's ear.

Li Mu turned around and looked over.

Liu Yifei had already taken a shower at this time, with a delicate face without makeup. Although her pajamas were long-sleeved and long trousers, the skin exposed on her neck was covered with snow and frost. The soft cotton pajamas stuck to her body, highlighting Liu Yifei's slender figure. .

"Cartoons are only for children to watch."

Li Mu glanced at him with malicious intent. Liu Yifei understood instantly and quickly let go of Li Mu.

"Bad guy!" The little hand even patted him lightly.

"what!"

Suddenly, Liu Yifei's voice exclaimed.

"."

On January 1, the Oscar nominations were announced, and this year is still full of upsets and surprises.

Fantasy romance "Rejuvenation" received 13 nominations, leading the pack.

What makes Li Mu even more regretful is that the box office miracle "The Dark Knight" and the animated masterpiece "WALL-E" were not nominated for best picture.

Li Mu's vote still failed to change anything.

The Oscars have been brave for too long in the past three years and have become increasingly non-mainstream. This is obvious to all.

If it were a highbrow artistic avant-garde like "No Country for Old Men", that would be fine.

Unfortunately, "The Dark Knight" and "WALL-E", which were no less than their rivals in terms of artistry and resonance, were overthrown by "Life and Death Reading", which is somewhat uncomfortable.

"Life and Death Reading", Weinstein, the number one villain in Hollywood, has really strong public relations skills nowadays.

As expected, these two films failed to compete for Best Picture, triggering criticism from film critics against the Oscar organizers, and controversy continued among all parties.

"Ah Mu, which movie are you going to vote for?" Liu Yifei was very curious as she watched Li Mu writing the list of Oscar winners.

"Slumdog Millionaire." It was impossible for Li Mu to vote for "Life and Death Reading" anyway.

"Why?" Liu Yifei was puzzled. The movie has not yet been released in China.

"You will know after it is released in China."

Li Mu smiled. The best film was the one voted by the judges as the best. Looking at several other films, it was the Indian version of "Forrest Gump" that particularly impressed him.

Maybe it was the moment when Salim was lying in a sea of ​​money waiting for death that touched him a little.However, it was a British director who made this movie, and he had never even been to India before making the movie. This is also quite magical.

Tonight's Spring Festival Gala has made Xiao Shenyang and Liu Qian big celebrities. Maybe this is the reason why Zhang Weiping wanted to cast Xiao Shenyang later. Fortunately, Liu Qian was not asked to come too, otherwise it would not be called "Three Guns" "Surprise" should be called "The Surprise of Three Guns".

During the Spring Festival, mainland theaters doubled their film sources and saw a [-]% increase in box office in response to the bull market. Mengying's theaters have officially entered a period of rapid development and have begun to enjoy the dividends of the rapid development stage of domestic films.

There are as many as 12 new films this year. Those with children can choose to watch "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", those who are in love can choose "You Long Xi Feng", and those who like foreign films can choose "Sound of Dreams" or "Wonderland". bridge".

Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One" finally had a box office of over 3.4 million, making it officially the second-largest film in the country. Feng Xiaogang also revealed that he will make a blockbuster this year, but the specifics have not yet been revealed.

There are rumors among the media about the type of Feng Xiaogang's new movie. After all, some people criticized him for taking the opportunity to hype it up last year.

The Spring Festival of the Year of the Ox has just ended, and a group of great directors in the Chinese film industry have decided to be "bullish" in the Year of the Ox and make a collective effort. Many great directors who were speechless last year, such as Zhang Yimou, Li Jian, Wang Jiawei , Hou Xiaoxian, etc. are actively planning their own new films.

The Berlin Film Festival is coming soon, and Brother Chen Kai is about to lead the team to Berlin.

As usual, Li Mu returned to Nortel. This year, the Nortel Performance Department required candidates to take the exam "without makeup" for the first time, and the requirements for appearance were even more stringent.

It's still winter in the Imperial Capital, but the girls in Nortel don't seem to be afraid of the cold, and their youthful and beautiful figures adorn the entire campus.

The leaves on both sides had fallen off. Li Mu was walking on the road and looking at these bare trees, he realized that it was already 09 in the blink of an eye, and this year his graduate school was about to graduate.

Li Mu walked along, greeting him constantly.

Tianzhuangzhuang is still the same, but there are more and more wolfberries in the thermos cup.

"Come on, sit down."

Tian Zhuangzhuang quickly put out the cigarette in his mouth in the ashtray.

"Before you know it, you will graduate in June this year."

Tian Zhuangzhuang still felt a little emotional, feeling like he was in a trance these past three years.

"I just changed my identity to make a movie. I heard that the department has suspended enrollment for one year this year?"

Nortel's director department has stopped recruiting this year. Li Mu heard that it was because of poor employment, but the department denied it.

"The ones in the past few years are not good. They are no better than the ones before."

Tian Zhuangzhuang shook his head. In recent years, undergraduates have not been very good, and their employment prospects are also poor.

"It is too difficult to recreate the year of 78. The seniors of that generation all accumulated many years of life experience before engaging in artistic creation, and this is how they produced a large number of outstanding works."

"The college is still discussing what kind of model is the best? Do you want to get involved?"

Li Mu shook his head. If the movie thing was okay, why would he get involved in the education thing?

Tian Zhuangzhuang was still a little disappointed. He felt that Li Mu might be able to come up with a good plan. After all, times were different and the previous education methods might not be applicable.

"Mei Lanfang" is the only film representing Chinese films competing for the Golden Bear Award at this Berlin Film Festival.

However, during the media preview, many foreign media and audiences found the film too boring due to the unfamiliar subject matter and the length of the film. They yawned repeatedly and left midway.

Many media said that Li Ming's acting skills were dull and Zhang Ziyi's appearance was not classical enough, and they criticized Chen Kaige for choosing the wrong actor.

This made Brother Chen Kai look unhappy. Fortunately, all 1600 tickets for the premiere were sold out.

The other one is similar to "Nanjing!"Nanjing! "A similar film, "Rabe's Diary" was also screened at the Berlin Film Festival. This film respects the original work and history to a great extent, and is completely different from Lu Xun's film.

Originally, this cold day was a good time to sleep in, but Li Mu had to leave the warm and comfortable bed with a beautiful woman in his arms.

This director's association party is really not a thing. Why did it choose to hold it in this kind of weather? Li Mu complained when he got up.

At the annual Directors Guild gathering, everyone who can go will go, it’s a day for everyone to brag.

I looked at the almanac and found that today is a good day to go out and have a party.

It seems that the day has been calculated and chosen specially. Everyone is superstitious, especially those in Xiangjiang. They must calculate a good day when turning on the phone and worship gods when turning on the phone.

When Li Mu arrived, there were already people coming and going. There were many unknown members, and even if they had met a few times, they still felt like new faces.

They must be unknown directors in the future, and Li Mu mentally labeled them.

"Hello Director Li, I am a level 04 graduate of the Nortel Directing Department."

There were all kinds of greetings along the way, and Li Mu just nodded lightly. If everyone responded, he would not be exhausted.

Brother Chen Kai did not come, he was still waiting for the closing ceremony in Berlin.

Lao Mouzi, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others had already arrived. As for Ning Hao and Lu Yang, they were muttering aside and seemed a little excited. They probably weren't talking about anything too serious. This guy's children were all born. Yes, people are still like this.

Li Mu's arrival attracted everyone's attention, and Lao Mouzi quickly raised his hand.

While sitting in his seat, Li Mu couldn't help but yawned: "It's too early, I should go until the afternoon."

Li Mu's words made Zhang Yimou and others couldn't help laughing, and joked: "You are young, you don't have much energy."

After chatting for a while, Li Mu remembered Zhang Yimou's new movie: "Brother, have you chosen the screenwriter?"

"Well, Xu Zhengchao." Zhang Yimou said with a little helplessness.

We still have to film a Northeastern duo. When Li Mu heard the screenwriter’s name, he didn’t know what to say.

Tian Zhuangzhuang also looked suspicious. He had never heard that Zhang Yimou was going to make a comedy. How could he get a sketch screenwriter to write the script?

There is still nothing new in the association every year. They just discuss whether the director's rights are protected. Everyone goes up to express their complaints or suggestions. Of course, it must be a big director with a surname. The other members still listen in their seats. With.

This is a loose organization, used to promote communication and development. The Nortel faction has the largest number of people and occupies the main force.

As the most outstanding representative of the new generation, Li Mu naturally wanted to express something, so he just casually said a few words.

Several directors from Mengying have joined. Lu Yang is very high-spirited and everyone is full of envy. If he joins Mengying, he feels like he can take off. Otherwise, why would Lu Yang break into the [-] million box office club and reach the sky in one fell swoop?

It's a pity that Li Mu didn't send invitation letters widely, otherwise all the directors of the company might have to stand together.

"Your company is getting bigger and bigger." Zhang Yimou also felt a little emotional when he saw the new scenes between him and Zhang Weiping. The director only relied on him, which was really tiring sometimes.

For example, this time Zhang Weiping asked him to make a commercial film to add blood to the new picture on the grounds that he had not made a movie for a year. What he wanted to make was actually "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling", but the preparation time was too long.

"Hey, it's also luck."
