Chapter 193 First Day Box Office
"Tian Xiaopeng!" Liu Weijuan was muttering about the person Li Mu mentioned. She was not very familiar with people in the animation field, and she couldn't think of this person after thinking for a long time.

"He was the production supervisor of "Journey to the West" in 97!"

Li Mu said with a smile, but Mengying Media’s first cartoon will be an easy choice to start with, and the story of Journey to the West will have to wait.

"Ahem!" Li Mu seemed to remember something and asked, "How is the company's official website doing now?"

Last night, the official website of Mengying Media was paralyzed by the official announcement of the relationship between Li Mu and Liu Yifei.

"The traffic is still too big, and the technology is still being looked at." Liu Weijuan shook her head. She had already gone to see it as soon as she came back. It was still the peak of Li Mu and Liu Yifei's romance, but the technology was in trouble.

Li Mu didn't care. Mengying wasn't an Internet company anyway, and it wouldn't have much impact if the official website was down for a few days.

Zha Lang’s Weibo has been down from time to time since it started.

If it were to be officially announced on Weibo, Weibo's technology would probably be criticized.

The first-day box office of "Your Name" touched the hearts of many people in the industry.

This is another masterpiece after Li Mu broke the record of "Titanic". Everyone is looking forward to whether he can continue to set records.

So far, the feedback from moviegoers has been very positive. Many people have commented that it is a must-see pure love movie in this lifetime.

"There is no profound humanity, and no motivation. Being pure all the way to the end is a surefire way to conquer this complex society!"

"I admit that I cried while watching it. It was so pure that the hero and heroine didn't even kiss at the end of the movie, but I still remember it vividly!"

"You will find that the people in that story are kind and sincere to each other. The friends are ordinary and righteous young people, just like the elementary school classmate who always invites you home to play games. The senior who works is a close friend and a wonderful person. She is a charming character who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows that love belongs to the person you love the most. Sanye’s friends are also simple and simple, and they will never be perfunctory about what they say they will do.”

“It’s not just the colors of the picture that are bright, but also the scenery and people’s hearts!”

The overwhelming praise and enthusiastic audiences have led some theaters to increase their film schedules for "Your Name".

The people in charge of major theater chains seemed to have a tacit understanding and directly reduced the schedule of Lu Xun's new movies.

When Lu Xun heard the bad news about these two people, he almost dropped his phone in anger: "It's too much to bully others!"

I quickly called my father and teacher, but the replies from both sides were that there was nothing they could do.

Theaters are the main ones that make money. It is the last word to make money by blocking people's money, such as killing parents, and other things that are shameful.

Mengying's theater chain did not include Lu Xun's new movies at all, and even the movies of its own boss could not be included.

As of now, the number of domestic movie screens has exceeded 4500. You must know that this time last year, it was only 3800.
The predicted box office of "Your Name" on the first day is 3800 million. The forecast agency made adjustments based on the increase in the number of screens and the number of films scheduled.

Zhang Weiping looked at the box office forecast data, and his heart was filled with excitement. He looked at Zhang Yi like he was looking at a bank ATM.

Zhang Yimou's first masterpiece after the Olympics. For this purpose, he specially invited Xiaoshenyang, which became a hit during this year's Spring Festival Gala, in order to make this commercial film a new domestic box office record breaker.

Li Mu had nothing to do in Mengying. He remembered that Lu Yang's recent movie "Cinema for the Blind" was shot in a nearby courtyard house, so he bought something on the way to see how this artistic film was doing.

"Cinema for the Blind" was filmed in a closed environment, and because it was a literary film, not many people paid attention to it.

The entire courtyard has been rented by the crew, and filming is in full swing inside.

"Director Lu, Director Li is here to visit the class!" The staff on the side saw Li Mu and shouted to Lu Yang.

"I bought some things for everyone in the car. Please help move them."

"Thank you, Director Li!" A group of people went to carry it happily.

"Teacher Wang!" Li Mu saw Wang Jinsong at a glance.

"Amu is here. It's a pity that I didn't go to the official announcement of you and Yifei yesterday." Wang Jinsong felt very regretful when he thought of this. He was also one of the witnesses of the two from campus to now.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Teacher Wang, it's okay. Director Li will definitely get engaged or married later. You must come then."

"You two must be fine."

Wang Jinsong was very emotional. At Level 02, Li Mu and Liu Yifei were the best in the circle. It can be said that they were several levels away from the others.

The two are also lovers and can be said to be the envy of people in the industry.

The male protagonist of "Cinema for the Blind", Zhou Yiwei, is also from Nortel. The future Jiaqian layman has now formed a fate with Lu Yang.

The heroine Liu Yuanyuan once acted in "Don't Talk to Strangers".

"Sit down and let's chat together." Li Mu looked at the somewhat restrained Zhou Yiwei and Liu Yuanyuan beside him and shouted with a smile.

Li Mu and Zhou Yiwei chatted a little more.

Wang Jinsong watched silently. Li Mu was different from other directors. He would still treat his own family better than others. Under the same conditions, more of his own people were chosen in the movie.

The teachers in the acting department are particularly fond of Li Mu, because such great directors are rarer than giant pandas.

Li Mu watched Lu Yang's filming for a while. This guy had already started his career and was even more comfortable shooting literary films. He said hello and left.

Li Mu had just returned from Lu Yang's crew when Liu Yifei asked him about the box office forecast data that was widely circulated on the Internet.

"Amu, are these data predictions accurate?"

This box office prediction data has indeed attracted the attention of people in the industry. The prediction basis below is very clear and convincing.

Li Mu took a look and said with a smile: "Look at the weather forecast, it's sometimes good and sometimes not good."

"That's right, we have to prepare to go back to the set. Sister Zhou Xun and Brother Yi Hong have already taken a flight back to Ludao."

Liu Yifei was preparing to pack her luggage. The premiere was delayed for a few days, and the two of them had to go back to continue filming the new movie.

"Your Name"'s first-day box office, which was highly anticipated by everyone in the industry, finally revealed its true colors.

More than 4800 million, a full 1000 million more than predicted. This result directly increased the box office record on the first day by more than 1800 million.

"Good boy!" Jiang Wen couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this data on the set of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

Many people on the set were attracted by Jiang Wen, including Xu Qing, Zhang Guoli, Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jing.
"Director Li's movie is too scary."

When Tang Guoqiang saw this data, the record had risen so much that the directors in the industry could not catch up.

The staff on the set were talking a lot about the first-day box office of "Your Name". According to this situation, the domestic box office record will probably be raised to a higher level.

Xu Qing looked at the data and was surprised, but not much.

Movie box office records will be broken sooner or later by movies, but the official announcement of Liu Yifei and Li Mu's relationship is what makes actresses in the industry the most enviable.

She is no exception.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei were preparing to go to the airport and head to Ludao.

"Ah Mu, why is there such a big difference between the predicted box office and the actual box office?" Liu Yifei looked at the actual box office data and compared it with the predicted data. There was a difference of 1000 million yuan.

"The audience ranges of suspense films and romance films are not the same, and the film scheduling rate is even scarier than predicted." Li Mu knew this prediction when he saw that the prediction data was calculated based on "The Invisible Guest" The direction has been skewed.

Although "The Invisible Guest" is the current record holder, there is still a big gap in the number of audiences.

Li Mu suddenly smiled and said, "If you look at the comment section again, you'll probably understand."

Liu Yifei clicked on the comment area curiously.

"Brothers, I vomited after watching "Your Name". I memorized all the lines in it. I bought four tickets from scalpers and watched it four times with four girlfriends."

"Brother, you are still awesome. I only have three girlfriends!" "Understood. Although I only have two girlfriends and only watched them twice, they still want to watch them twice and three times."

"Someone use urine to wake up the beasts upstairs!"

"Brothers upstairs, please do it. The ratio of men to women in the country is already out of balance, and you still dominate a few of them. Don't go too far!"

"."

After reading the comment section, Liu Yifei said in a very calm tone: "Then how many times will you watch a movie in the future?"

It seems calm, but there is an undercurrent.

"Hey, I'll watch you as many times as you want."

"Okay, I believe you!" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

The sea breeze on Ludao Island is still the same as usual, but people's mood will be different.

When Li Mu and Liu Yifei returned to the set, they were immediately greeted by cheers and cheers from everyone.

"I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight!" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss lady of Mengying Media!" Zhou Xun shouted loudly.

The rest of the people shouted together, causing Liu Yifei to blush immediately and pat Zhou Xun with her little hands.

"Director Li, look, your wife is so angry that you don't care."

Zhou Xun shouted carelessly, and the crowd cheered even more fiercely.

"."

The crew quickly calmed down amid the laughter, and Li Mu had no intention of starting work today.

In the evening Liu Yifei was a guest and invited everyone to have a meal nearby.

On April 4.26th, Sunday, the box office was 5300 million, the second day after "Your Name" was released.

It broke 3 million in two days, reducing the record of breaking [-] million in three days by one day again.

"It broke the record by breaking [-] million in two days in its first weekend, and "Your Name" set off a movie-watching frenzy!"

从2002年《英雄》用了10天破亿，到2005年《无极》用了8天破亿，到去年《看不见的客人》用了3天多破亿。

As the number of domestic screens increases and consumption levels improve, all filmmakers are wondering whether the domestic box office will blow out again.

Breaking [-] million in two days?

Breaking [-] million in one day?
On this day, "Your Name" finally officially entered the record of breaking 2 million in two days.

This has created a surge of enthusiasm in the film industry.

People inside and outside the industry are looking forward to how far this movie can go.

Of course Lu Xun is not among them, "Nanjing!"Nanjing! 》The film schedule continues to be reduced, let alone the box office exceeding [-] million, I am afraid that half of it will already be a secret.

This is because I got it through deception two days before "Your Name" was released.

"Director Li, your movie is so scary. When will this record be broken again?"

Zhou Xun looked at this data and felt that it was a bit difficult for other directors' movies.

"You underestimated the market!" Li Mu smiled, "Keep shooting, don't think about being lazy."

Since 2008, China's film market has truly taken off, with an annual growth rate that even insiders may not have expected.

The crew has begun to enter the plot stage of the drama part of "Uncle Vanya".

"Ka, Yi Hong, Zhou Xun, Luo Jin." Li Mu looked at Duan Yihong's performance and was not particularly satisfied.

"Do you know the Sri Lankan system?" Li Mu asked.

Duan Yihong thought for a while and said: "The Sri Lankan system requires that when acting, you can't just play another person, but you must also bring your own personality and emotions into it, integrate it with the character, and create a chemical reaction."

"Bingo, yes, that's the point, there are actually two movies now, one that we are shooting now, and one that is an existential drama in the shooting."

But for actors, it is actually a scary thing to face their true emotions and be exposed to the eyes of outsiders.

But this movie must integrate this point, so that the play within the play can be perfectly performed. What is needed here is Duan Yihong's breakthrough. Zhou Xun has no role in the play within the play.

However, Luo Jin's role as a pretty boy is not as big as Duan Yihong's, so the requirements are not that high.

"Zhou Xun, please help him to speed up the progress." Li Mu thought for a while. It would be difficult for Duan Yihong to enter this stage in a short time, but Zhou Xun had experienced the Sri Lankan system.

"Good director!" Zhou Xun nodded cautiously.

Li Mu must complete the filming of this movie before the end of May, otherwise he will have to catch up later.

On Monday, April 4.27th, more than 4200 million.

On April 4.28th, Tuesday, more than 3900 million.

"Your Name" fell a bit as it entered the working day, but in just 4 and a half days, it exceeded 2 million at the box office and rushed towards 3 million non-stop.

The May Day Golden Week is coming soon. The May Day holiday in 09 was only three days, but it was enough to bring the box office to a higher level again.

Major theaters have already fully booked their May Day shows.

While Li Mu was still filming a new movie, Liu Yifei received a call from Deng Wendi. The wife of News Corp. boss Rupert Murdoch seemed to want to use the momentum of the media tycoon's wife to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

Liu Yifei lay on Li Mu's back and shoulders: "Ah Mu, she said that she collaborated with the wife of the CEO of MGM in a movie and wanted me to play the heroine."

"Push it away." When Li Mu heard what Liu Yifei said, he instantly knew what Deng Wendi had in mind.

Movies like "The Secret Fan" want to use Liu Yifei's popularity to break into Hollywood. What a beautiful idea!

"Already pushed!" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"."

Wendi Deng is preparing to shoot a movie that can enter Hollywood, and it has quietly spread in the industry.

The reputation of the wife of a media tycoon can attract many people, especially female stars who want to break into Hollywood. In their eyes, this is a golden thigh.

Zhang Ziyi, Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Zhang Jingchu
Everyone is secretly contacting Wendi Deng. After all, this is an excellent opportunity to enter Hollywood, especially this is a female-led movie, because it is a poignant and euphemistic love story between two women, without a male protagonist.

Within a few days, it was also revealed that Liu Yifei refused Deng Wendi's invitation to be the heroine in a new movie.

All of a sudden, all the female stars were filled with hatred and envy.

The film resources that are sought after by everyone in the industry are directly ignored by Liu Yifei, and the thighs of Deng Wendi are also abandoned.

But after thinking about Li Mu standing behind him, he felt helpless.

After all, they do have such capital!
