Chapter 198 Graduation
After seeing Tian Xiaopeng off, it was almost noon. In the Imperial Capital in June, the sun was scorching, and the hot weather always made people feel a little irritable.

Li Mu has too many things to deal with this month.

"Drive My Car" had to be edited within a month or two. For this three-hour film, editing was also a troublesome task.

And this month happens to be the graduation season. After three years of postgraduate career, this year is also the time to graduate.

Crystal Pictures' second independently produced R-rated comedy film "The Hangover" also began to be released nationwide in early June. This is also Crystal Pictures' new track and entry into the comedy field after horror films and youth-oriented fan films.

David attaches great importance to this premiere. After all, Crystal Pictures still has a certain influence in the independent film circle.

Li Mu still has too many things to deal with domestically, and he can only let David handle it in North America.

In Liu Yifei's Imperial Villa, Liu Yifei, who had just woken up, was dangling in a set of cartoon pajamas and pajamas. She wore a pair of cute ribbon slippers on her soles. The exposed ankles were round and graceful, and her ten toes were pink and tender.

Liu Xiaoli glanced at her and said helplessly: "Sissi, why are you hanging around in your pajamas?"

"Oh, Mom, I'm at home." Liu Yifei ignored Liu Xiaoli's muttering and came to the sofa and sat down. The soft sofa suddenly sank.

Shu Chang was holding Little Chengzi, cracking melon seeds, and watching the TV series "The Righteous Way in the World Is Vicissitudes of Life".

"Little Chengzi, come here!" Liu Yifei immediately waved, tempting the cat to lean towards her.

As a result, the cat glanced at her and remained motionless.

Liu Yifei suddenly became unhappy, "Why does my cat stop moving when it sees me? What did you do to it?"

"Nonsense, when you were working as a producer some time ago, apart from auntie, I was the only one who fed it the most." Shu Chang used his free left hand and touched the cat's fluffy little head.

"Ah, I'm pissed off!"

"What are you so angry about?"

As soon as Li Mu came into the hall, he heard Liu Yifei's angry voice.

"No, little Chengzi." Liu Yifei glanced at the cat hovering on the sofa.

When the cat saw Li Mu, he suddenly stretched out, jumped off the sofa, and came directly to Li Mu's feet.

"Aim!" His dark eyes looked straight at Li Mu.

Li Mu directly picked up this guy and sat on the sofa.

He stretched out his hand and circled around its mouth. Little Chengzi put away his claws and used his small flesh pads to circle and fight with Li Mu.

"Sing, sing, what's going on?" It doesn't matter if she feeds her cat a lot or doesn't get close to it, why is it that Li Mu doesn't feed him much and still kisses him so much?

Shu Chang is also a little confused and unscientific.

"This is a female cat!" Shu Chang said confidently.

"It's obviously been neutered."

Listening to the conversation between the two people, black lines appeared on Li Mu's forehead. Suddenly he remembered something and said: "By the way, Sissy, you probably have to work harder during this period. Mengying has opened an animation. Movie."

"What new movie has been released? What can I do?" Liu Yifei was very interested and sat directly next to Li Mu. Xiao Chengzi was ignored by her.

Shu Chang also cast a curious look.

"I'm going to make a comic adaptation of "Your Name", and then the heroine's character model will be you."

After Li Mu said this, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up.

Shu Chang asked with expectant eyes, "What about our supporting cast?"

Li Mu thought for a while: "You might as well forget it. We need to replace the audience with a fresh batch of characters."

"Hahahahahaha, I'm laughing so hard." As soon as Li Mu said this, Liu Yifei burst into laughter and curled up in Li Mu's arms, taking away the little Chengzi's position.

"Take a look!" Xiao Chengzi looked at Liu Yifei very dissatisfied and even took a special look.

"However, when engineers model the model, they will take into account the settings in the movie. You should be able to retain [-]% of the characteristics."

"[-]% is pretty good!" Shu Chang muttered happily. It was a wonderful thing to be able to see himself in the animation.

"I think [-]% is too much, let's cut it in half." Liu Yifei said pretending to be serious.

"You are going to die, Sissi."

The laughter of the two people instantly echoed throughout the hall.

"Your Name" completely stopped selling after reaching 6.7 million domestically, and the imported blockbuster "Terminator 2018" followed closely, making other movies in the schedule miserable.

The box office in Japan has been very good, with a daily sales of more than 3 million yen. The box office is stable and the reputation remains very good.

Recently, many Japanese tourists have begun to appear in the Daughter of the East. They all came here after being attracted by the movie.

"Create a new cultural industry route of film + cultural tourism, and create scenic spots in all aspects." Director Yang talked so eloquently at the reporting meeting that he has already written a few thousand words of essay on the movie "Your Name".

The leaders in the audience nodded frequently, because the recent increase in cultural and tourism consumption can be seen with the naked eye.

Li Mu has already turned in his graduation project and is now starting to edit a new film, and he has to meet the Venice Film Festival deadline to complete it.

"You really don't want to go to the Magic City Film Festival?" Ning Hao sat on a chair nearby and watched Li Mu edit the material.

Li Mu didn't even look back: "I don't have enough time."

"Tsk, Director Li is still confident. If I jump out of the Three Realms, I won't be able to do it. I'll go over and have a look and tell you if I have any news." Ning Hao smiled and didn't care.

The Shanghai Film Festival is about to open recently. According to Ning Hao, this film festival seems to have turned into a directors' conference again.

There were a lot of invited directors, and Li Mu was naturally among the grand invitations. Unfortunately, not to mention that Li Mu was not free, he was too lazy to attend if he had time.

At the opening ceremony of the Magic City Film Festival, people from the mainland and Hong Kong came and went, and Fan Binbin appeared again. Some people have counted that in just the first half of the year, he has participated in as many as 8 film festivals, and almost every event There is her presence.

The key is that there aren't any works yet, it's purely about walking on the red carpet and making an appearance to gain popularity.

During the interview, he had already announced that he would follow Zhang Ziyi's example and try to enter Hollywood.

Water Films' second independent production, "The Hangover" was also officially released in North America, with a first-day box office of more than 1600 million, surpassing another weekend blockbuster "Land of the Lost", with a first-weekend box office of 4500. Wanwan won the box office title of the week.

David's emails are full of good news.

"The Hangover" even rubbed "Terminator 2018" on the ground in North America.

The Shanghai Film Festival is quite interesting this time. Yesterday, the first climax of the event was ushered in, and the participating directors also gave everyone a "surprise".

The directors Ning Hao, Wang Xiaoshuai and Wei Desheng who participated in the forum made shocking remarks, especially Wang Xiaoshuai who blasted several other directors and four theater CEOs from the very beginning: "The box office of all of them is very good, all of them have exceeded 4 million, but they Failed as a director.”

"It doesn't matter. I don't make as much money as you now. I'll carry it. When a person has a breath, he must have dignity."

As soon as these words came out, the scene became awkward instantly.

"How about it, was the film festival fun?" Li Mu was still teasing Ning Hao on the phone.

"What a god. His crappy movie doesn't make any money. Who's to blame? If you were here, I wouldn't believe he dared to say this." Ning Hao was speechless.

Li Mu hung up the phone, and Liu Yifei couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

"I didn't expect these directors to be quite brave enough to speak out in the film festival forum."

"It's a pity that Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen are not in this forum, otherwise it would be more fun." Li Mu regretted that Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen were the ones who complained.

Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes immediately rolled her eyes at Li Mu, but she was also looking forward to the scene Li Mu was talking about.The summary of this year's Magic City movies can be summarized as follows: reporters don't watch the film, and directors are busy fighting with each other.

More than [-]% of the audience have never seen one-third of the competition films, regardless of whether they are journalists, film critics or ordinary viewers.

Therefore, no matter how reasonable or unreasonable the jury is, it will only give out the same list of winners.

But Li Mu and Liu Yifei no longer have time to care about these things, because their graduation defense is coming.

Liu Yifei's graduation thesis was originally written after filming "The Intouchables", but for "Your Name", she had to rewrite it directly.

According to her, "Your Name" is the most memorable.

When the guard's uncle saw Li Mu's car, he quickly walked into the guard's room and raised the gate railing.

Li Mu raised his hand, smiled and said, "Sorry for bothering Uncle Xu!"

After Li Mu's car completely entered the campus, the guard sat next to the door again.

"Tsk, Director Li still knows you?" The chattering person sitting aside was obviously a little surprised.

"Hey, after so many years, we must have known each other. To be honest, I know a lot of directors, but only Director Li can say hello on weekdays."

The guard uncle's dark face revealed his fairly white teeth, and he was obviously very happy at this time.

"He deserves to be a great director!"

"That's right!"

"."

"It's been a long time since I've been here." Liu Yifei got out of the car, looked around, and said with some emotion: "After this time, I should really graduate!"

"You can come back at any time." Li Mu didn't have these emotions. Anyway, coming back was just a matter of a few clicks on the accelerator.

"I don't know the taste. Humph, I'm going to Building C. If you want to finish early, come over here and wait for me."

Liu Yifei turned around, her hair tied into a ponytail swaying with her movements. Her tall and exquisite figure was so beautiful under the reflection of the sun.

Li Mu didn't care and went directly to Tian Zhuangzhuang's office because Tian Zhuangzhuang asked him to go there first.

In Tianzhuangzhuang's office, Li Mu sat very casually, without any restraint.

"Your defense will be waived. Everyone has read your 3D technology paper, and few people can give you advice."

"You're not going to go through the cutscene either?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled and said, "What's the point of going through the motions? You are indispensable for outstanding graduates anyway."

Li Mu smiled and said, "That's so embarrassing."

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at Li Mu and couldn't help but laugh: "Have you considered becoming a visiting professor at any school?"

After Li Mu graduated, a number of art schools must have invited him to be a visiting professor at the school. This was inevitable.

"It's too early, give it a few years."

"Well, just think about it, it doesn't matter much!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't mention whether Nortel would invite him. Anyway, he knew that if Li Mu agreed to other schools, Nortel would be indispensable.

""2012" will be your graduation film. Everyone will watch it when it is released. Don't disappoint us."

“I can’t tell you about the artistic aspect, but the commercial aspect will definitely not disappoint the teachers, but will it put a little pressure on the younger juniors?”

Li Mu feels that as his graduation film, few people will be able to surpass it when they graduate.

"Business or art, just choose one of the two. As for pressure, records are meant to be broken. That's what you said." Tian Zhuangzhuang responded with a smile.

"That too!"

Li Mu chatted with Tian Zhuangzhuang for a while and then left. Tian Zhuangzhuang also had to attend the defense as a tutor.

Instead, Li Mu was walking aimlessly on the Nortel campus road alone. Liu Yifei was definitely not that fast, and waiting in the past was in vain.

There were many people saying hello along the way, but Li Mu really didn't know many of them.

"Brother Pastor Li!" Several female voices suddenly came from behind, and their voices were somewhat familiar to Li Mu.

Li Mu turned around and saw that it was indeed Yang Mi, accompanied by Yuan Shanshan, Zhang Xiaofei, and Jiao Junyan.

"Hello! I remember that the undergraduate students have taken their graduation photos and haven't left school yet?"

Yang Mi and others are all graduates in 09, and the graduation photos of undergraduate students are earlier than those of graduate students.

"We have an appointment for a meal!" Compared to the other people who were reserved, Yang Mi was much more generous. "Senior brother, do you want to come with us?"

"Uh, I'll forget it!" Li Mu was also stunned, and then waved his hand.

Yang Mi also guessed that Liu Yifei must be here, so she asked casually, not expecting that Li Mu would agree.

"Then let's go! Goodbye, senior brother!" Yang Mi also waved her hand, turned and left with a few people.

"Mimi, I don't think you're nervous at all." Zhang Xiaofei took a few steps before he dared to whisper.

Jiao Junyan remembered her performance just now: "Yes, although Pastor Li is very gentle, I always feel uncomfortable in front of him."

Yang Mi said carelessly: "He doesn't eat people, so what are you afraid of?"

"You don't understand, there is an inexplicable majesty to him."

"."

Several people were chatting and laughing along the way.

Yang Mi squinted her eyes, joking and thinking, there was only one year left before Rong Xinda's contract.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Mu went directly to the C teaching building.

But Liu Yifei wasn't over yet. Li Mu found a place to sit, and there was a person volunteering to maintain order by the corridor.

Li Mu couldn't see his face clearly, but he looked young. He was probably a freshman, doing volunteer work.

After a while, Liu Yifei came out of the teaching building.

"Ah Mu, I'm fine." Liu Yifei saw Li Mu sitting not far away, trotted over, and put down her ponytail. The soft black hair scattered freely, like a black waterfall.

On a hot day, sweat stains appeared on both sides of my temples. I quickly took out a paper towel and slowly dried the sweat stains on both sides. I was a little confused: "Why are you so fast?"

She was the first to answer. She thought she would go over and wait for Li Mu, but she didn't expect that Li Mu was already waiting downstairs.

"I did not participate in the defense."

"why?"

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "The paper is so well written that I can waive it!"

"Why is this? It's so unfair!"

"."
