Chapter 196 Rebellious Fans

Japan is now Asia's largest film market. Last year's box office total was 1948 billion yen, which is roughly equivalent to 3600 billion yuan. However, this market has its own unique aesthetic preferences, such as anime movies, pure love, tragedy, and the Three Kingdoms.
This is a unique film market that future generations of Marvel heroes will not be able to penetrate.

There is no doubt about the strength of Toho Co., Ltd. in Japan, it is a real giant.

"Your Name" was well promoted, with screen advertisements on major commercial buildings promoting the movie.

The name Li Mu is well-known in Japan, and Hayao Miyazaki also recommended the movie, which made Japanese audiences have a strong interest in the movie.

It's just that Miyazaki was looking at the movie poster and introduction and fell into deep thought.

"Tomorrow is the last scene."

Liu Yifei looked at the crew under the night, still moving things, feeling a little emotional from time to time.

"This movie editing job is also a troublesome thing."

"It's okay. I'll stay with you. I also have to do production work on "Your Name" and "Drive My Car."

The two walked slowly towards their residence. The moon quietly showed its charming figure in the clouds. The street lights on the main road were lit up in rows, attracting a few moths to fly up and down. The evening breeze was already a little cool, which was just comfortable.

There was an exquisite small lamp placed on the desk in her residence. Liu Yifei tied her long hair into a bun and fixed it on the back of her head with an ordinary pencil.

One hand is holding a delicate face, and the other hand is typing on a laptop. The producer is not that easy, and there is still a series of work to be done.

Li Mu was originally thinking about the shots of tomorrow's final scene. When he saw Liu Yifei's appearance, he couldn't help but pick up his 500-megapixel mobile phone. Looking at the focus on the phone, he shook his head in disgust, but still pressed the shooting button.

Suddenly there was a "click!" sound in the room, and Li Mu forgot to turn off the shooting sound.

After Liu Yifei heard the sound, she turned her head, and the pencil was accidentally thrown out. Her beautiful black hair "popped" like a spring and hung loosely on her shoulders.

Under the illumination of the bright desk lamp, the delicate face is even more charming.

"What are you doing?" Liu Yifei said angrily.

"I accidentally clicked the shutter button."

"Let me see, if you make me look ugly, you will be dead."

"."

Early the next morning, the crew was excited.

Everyone knew that this was the last scene, and everyone was full of motivation, as if they were about to take a vacation.

"Hey, you all got up very early."

Li Mu came to the set and saw how energetic they were. They were not so energetic on weekdays.

"Director Li, wait for the celebration banquet."

I don’t know which department shouted it, but everyone immediately echoed it.

"Then get ready to start." Li Mu also knows everyone's mood. After all, the shooting time is quite long. Although he occasionally relaxes and rests, it is a good thing for everyone to end it early.

"Okay, it's a long shot at the end, don't get it wrong!" Li Mu reminded him specifically.

At the end of the story, Li Mu used a long shot to emphasize the integration of the actor's character with the actor: embracing his own emotions, he performed the role of Vanya with great emotion and emotion to the end, and at the end, he used the role of "wife" With his sign language and the most sincere body language, he gained enlightenment from his deceased wife and obtained his own salvation.

Duan Yihong did not disappoint everyone. The last scene was passed in one go.

"Ka, it's done!" Li Mu shouted with a smile.

Everyone applauded, another movie was successfully completed!

As usual, group photos are essential.

"Director Li, get closer to Qianqian. Everyone knows it. What are you afraid of?" Zhou Xun looked at the two people standing in the middle and teased with a smile.

"Yes, Director Li, Yifei, come closer." The photographer was also directing. During filming, the director is the biggest, and now he also has the right to direct.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled in unison. , Liu Yifei held Li Mu’s arm, and the crew successfully took several final photos.

In the evening, at the closing banquet, Li Mu walked around to thank the crew for their recent efforts.

"Director Li, come here and drink this glass of wine." Zhou Xun held a wine glass and his big smokey voice was a bit unique.

"Won't I walk away from the wall?"

"Hey, Director Li knows the wine table culture very well."

Zhou Xun downed the glass without leaving a drop, and tipped the glass onto the table.

"As the best-selling actress in Venice, I'll beg Director Li!"

"How about you become the chairman and seal a letter for yourself?"

Liu Yifei and Duan Yihong were nearby and burst into laughter instantly.

Mengying Media quickly posted the news about Li Mu’s new movie on its official website, and the movie’s title has already been decided: “Drive My Car.”

Netizens were talking a lot below.

"I have already thought of the story of this name. One person, one car, a lonely journey."

"."

Li Mu and Liu Yifei returned to the imperial capital, and a celebration party for "Your Name"'s 6 million box office success followed.

The crew gathered together again, and the number 6 million was stuck on the big ice brick.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei picked up the mallets and knocked lightly to break the ice, and the ceremony was completed.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the celebration party of "Your Name". The film could not have achieved its current results without your strong support. I look forward to our continued better cooperation in the future, cheers."

Li Mu's words for this scene were already easy to come by, but everyone must share the credit.

Han Sanping didn't come to the premiere, but he did come to the celebration party.

"Director Han, how was the movie?" Li Mu then chatted with Han Sanping.

Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Yan Danchen and Luo Jin were laughing and joking.

"It's coming soon. The filming will be completed next month and has been transferred to the China Film and Television Base in Huairou for filming."

Li Mu smiled: "Congratulations to Director Han first, the box office is definitely not bad!"

"Don't be careless. Do you have confidence in Japan about your movie? I heard that Korea is also talking about it?"

"I didn't know this, but Pure Love movies have always had a good box office in Japan, so I decided to give it a try. South Korea is also an important box office, so I decided to come along."

Han Sanping glanced at Li Mu. Li Mu never spoke full words and left room for everything. He said that if he tried, he would be sure. Han Sanping had already known the tricks.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Mengying Media held a celebration banquet for "Your Name"'s 6 million box office. Everyone in the industry knew about it and was envious of it.

Huayi is now looking forward to the release of "The Wind" in September and good results.

Many film producers are interested in the copyright of "The Wind", which makes Wang Zhongjun determined that as long as he does not lose money, Huayi will be in a different world when it is completed this year.

Before Li Mu and Liu Yifei had enough rest, they had to rush to Japan with the crew without stopping.

Toho Co., Ltd. has spent so much effort to promote it to you. It’s hard to justify why you don’t come and lead the team for a trip.

At Tokyo Haneda International Airport, the people responsible for reception from Toho are already in place.

There were quite a few fans picking them up at the airport, and the cards held up belonged to Li Mu and Liu Yifei.

"Sissi, do you have so many fans in Japan?" Shu Chang looked at it and saw that their names were not on the signs outside.

Most of them are Li Mu, and then there is Liu Yifei.

"After all, I have also acted in Hollywood blockbusters, and some of them are on the global film and television rankings." Liu Yifei muttered to Shu Chang with a smile.

"Is this a fake fan? Did you invite me?" Li Mu looked around and saw that there were quite a lot of people there, one after another. Did he have so many movie fans in Japan?

The routine of picking up fake fans is not uncommon in later generations.

Li Mu's words stunned the translators on the side. The director seemed not to follow the routine. Would ordinary people ask this?
However, I still reported it to Dongbao’s leadership truthfully.

The person in charge of Dongbao was stunned for two seconds after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "Director Li, you are joking. Your movies are well-known internationally, especially "The Untouchables", which has been watched by many Japanese fans. Pass."

"The Unreachable" is indeed a style that Japanese movie fans like. This kind of light sadness and loneliness is quite consistent with Japan's lost culture in the past 30 years.

But now Japan is almost out of this 30-year haze.

Li Mu smiled after hearing this: "Just a joke."

It is indeed the most fanatical place for star chasing at the moment. Seeing so many movie fans made him feel a little inexplicably happy.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei also waved their hands quickly.

"Liu Yifei is so beautiful!"

Many fans are fascinated by Liu Yifei.

"Ah Mu, you see your little fans seem to have rebelled." Liu Yifei said to Li Mu with a smile.

When Li Mu saw it, he was holding up my fan sign. One second he was still a fan of mine, but the next second he saw Liu Yifei, he stopped shouting my name and just went to call Liu Yifei.

This rebellion is too fast. Am I not handsome enough?

Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei next to her, wearing a single ponytail and showing a sweet smile, instantly killing many male and female fans.

Sure enough, sincerity is never a must-win, beauty is!
"Sissi, the voices calling your name are getting louder and louder."

Shu Chang also covered his mouth and snickered. Li Mu's voice was louder just now, and now more and more people have joined the rebel team.

Okay, I admit that they don't buy fans anymore. Li Mu felt a touch of sadness when he saw the rhythm change of these fans.

After "Your Name" is released, I believe the situation will change.

But it seems that Liu Yifei’s role as Sanye in the movie is even more brilliant.
Under the leadership of Dongbao, Li Mu, Liu Yifei and others also met the voice actors who dubbed their characters.

Liu Yifei's voice was also beautiful and sweet, but Li Mu didn't recognize her.

Voice actors have been completely developed in Japan, and they are also here to add popularity to "Your Name".

Before the grand screening, the audience and reporters were looking forward to Li Mu, the director, speaking about what kind of inspiration and imagination gave this story a different meaning.

Several trailers of "Your Name" have been aired, and the audience is looking forward to it.

"If we use Chinese culture to speak of it, this movie probably means that all encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation."

"If we borrow words from Japanese culture, Ono Komachi's Waka: When you meet in a dream, the person is not seen, if you know it is a dream, why wake up. Even if you often meet in a dream, it is like seeing you once. I think the explanation is very good."

"Let us truly appreciate this story from the movie. Everyone has their own Hamlet, and I believe you are no exception."

After Li Mu finished speaking, the translator quickly added. Li Mu didn't know if his translation was correct, but the audience in the audience reacted extremely fiercely.

The movie officially started. Liu Yifei and others showed little interest in watching the movie. They looked at the audience from time to time. The audience's reaction represented the future success or failure of this movie in Japan.

Li Mu looked calm. The more he watched, the more he felt that the movie was really well made.

The audience exclaimed, laughed, and then shed tears from time to time, just like it was premiering in the imperial capital.

"A Mu, have we succeeded?" Liu Yifei tugged on Li Mu's clothes and whispered.

"You haven't seen it with your own eyes."

Li Mu held Liu Yifei's hand and led the crew to receive warm cheers from the audience.

Although the Japanese spoken by the audience below was difficult for Li Mu to understand, looking at the audience's reaction, Li Mu knew that they were very satisfied.

The translator next to him translated for Li Mu from time to time, and they all received unanimous praise.

Liu Yifei has completely become synonymous with Sanye. Fans now call her Sanye. There is no doubt that Sanye is more outstanding than the male protagonist in this movie.

"This movie has funny parts, touching parts, and heart-pounding parts. On the way home after watching the movie, I felt that I saw something different and wanted to meet the people I like."

"I feel that the rope that connects people really has the power to change destiny. The ancient Chinese myths make people yearn for it."

"This is the best movie I have ever seen directed by a Chinese director. I have been a fan of Li Mu's movies since then, but Sanye is so beautiful, and Liu Yifei is my favorite actress!"

"."

"The feedback from Dongbao is that fans like it very much. The current screenings are basically full, and it is expected that there will be a word-of-mouth effect in the next two days." Li Mu put down the phone, looked at the people staring at him, and slowly said.

"Yeah!" Liu Yifei was the first to jump up happily.

Everyone showed happy smiles. The success of the movie overseas has only benefits and no disadvantages for everyone.

"Okay, everyone is about to become an international star. Shouldn't it be time to treat me, the director, to dinner?" Li Mu shouted with a smile.

We are all our own people. As soon as Li Mu said these words, everyone immediately criticized him.

There is a high probability that the box office on the first day will not be higher than that in China. After all, on the first day, the movie has not yet fully exploded, and the number of screens in Japan in 2009 was less than 3400, which is even less than in China.

But the good thing is that piracy is not popular here, box office sustainability is guaranteed, and there are a lot of people watching movies continuously.

On the same day, major media in Tokyo were broadcasting the premiere of "Your Name", and many viewers came out to support the movie.

Moreover, before the premiere, Li Mu used Chinese and Japanese culture to explain the story of the movie, which was widely reproduced by the media. Everyone has different expectations for this beautiful story.
