Chapter 20
"You are ignorant and shameless." Wang Zhongjun looked at the promotional copy of "High School Musical" with disdain.

"Isn't that right? I didn't choose any of Huayi's new movies, and Binbin even told me that Li Mu disliked her for being young." Haha, Wang Zhonglei sneered and continued.

"Li Binbin told me again that Li Mu dislikes her for being too old."

"Go on, continue to find someone to send out the manuscript, and I will see how high the box office of a movie that few people watch can be."

"Will China Film Group have any objections?" Wang Zhonglei hesitated.

"No, it's just a drama, it can't be broken."

The article "The plot of "High School Musical" is suspected of inducing puppy love" made a comeback with lightning speed, directly raising the popularity of "High School Musical" to a higher level.

Mr. Han also communicated with Li Mu about whether to suppress the matter. Li Mu thought about it for a long time and decided not to suppress it.

It's better to block it than to open it up. If you don't make good use of the free popularity, I'm sorry for those who are bent on blackmail.

"Who is so shameless?" Liu Yifei said viciously when she saw the newspaper in front of her.

Mother Liu, Zhu Yawen, Zhou Yang and Yan Danchen also looked at Li Mu with sad faces.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I'll see you tomorrow." Li Mu smiled calmly.

Seeing that Li Mu was so confident, the leading actors felt a lot more at ease. After all, this was an Oscar-winning actor.

Should we loosen the soil for Huayi in advance?Wang Jinghua should be a little eager to try now.Li Mu was thinking in his mind.

It seems that this casting choice for "Manslaughter" angered them again, Li Mu secretly laughed.I didn't take Huayi seriously. Huayi was about to close down when I came back.

A company that was both chosen and abandoned by the times.

At the premiere, as the male lead, Li Mu naturally took Liu Yifei on the red carpet.

Li Mu took the leading actors for a tour, and several top directors from Nortel were very considerate and came.

Guangguang also attracted a group of people to support the venue, including people from Shanghai Film and West Film.

No one from Huayi came, so he simply stopped pretending and showed off his cards.

Li Mu briefly introduced the crew, and the movie premiere officially began.

The movie starts with bright colors, a beautiful youthful atmosphere, a landscape-like high school campus scene with students in school uniforms, and the embellishment of a youth opera, and the youthful atmosphere is instantly boosted.

"This picture is good. This guy's skills have improved again." Lao Mouzi looked at the picture in front of him and nodded.

Brother Chen Kai on the side was looking at the movie screen with a serious face, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing.

The story is gradually advancing, and when the male and female protagonists are qualified to perform, there are many twists and turns.

In the end, with the help of friends, the hero and heroine successfully participated in the re-examination of the musical as they wished, and were recognized by teachers and classmates. The play was sublimated at the end.

The plot is very simple, even a little too simple. "High School Musical" is a simple story, a story that everyone can understand.

Mixed with the moving songs and dances, after watching the whole movie, you have a feeling of being in it and feeling lost after watching it.

At the end of the movie, the audience has not yet come back to their senses. They seem to be still immersed in the musical and the beautiful campus. Everything is so similar to the youth in the dream, the campus in the dream, and the beautiful campus in the dream. a 16 year old girl
The entire set was quiet for about 10 seconds, and then thunderous applause came in an endless stream.

"A wonderful film, you succeeded again." Lao Mouzi chatted with Li Mu for a few words before leaving.

"The filming was very good. I have more ideas. I'll go back and change the script first." Brother Chen Kai's words made Li Mu a little panicked. Could this script be about that steamed bun?

What elements did he want to add to it? Li Mu looked at Brother Chen Kai who looked excited and finally chose to remain silent.

He was probably responsible for the future steamed buns, and Li Mu suddenly felt a little tired.

Next came the interview session, and reporters who had already prepared swarmed in.

"Director Li, what do you think about "High School Musical" involving puppy love?"

"Look with your eyes." Li Mu was not impressed by this reporter. He was probably a fool.

"Director Li, what are your expectations for the box office?"

"Let's set a small goal first."

"What is this small goal?" The reporter looked excited.

The starring actors next to them also looked at Li Mu in the middle, trying to guess what the small target was.

"One hundred million first!"

The scene was quiet for a second, and then there was an uproar. [-] million. This director really dared to say that an opera-like youth film could earn [-] million at the box office.

The reporters were extremely excited and wished Li Mu could say more. "Director Li, are you saying that "High School Musical" can get [-] million?"

"Correct."

"Liu Yifei, what do you think of Director Li's prediction?" The reporter began to turn to the starring actors, which was to amplify the pace of the move.

"We must have the same opinion." Liu Yifei looked at the reporter as if she were a fool, as if to say, "Do you think I look like a fool?" She was trying to make trouble with the director.

"Excuse me, why were you selected as the heroine by Director Li Mu? Is it because we have a good relationship?" Another reporter was ready to dig a hole.

"Because I am an actor." Liu Yifei answered without hesitation.

"Um" Some reporters didn't know how to ask, why does this person feel a bit naive?

Li Mu smiled. In her previous life, Liu Yifei had a bad interview syndrome, but she didn't expect that it would still be the same in this life. She was indeed a black hole in interviews.

"Why don't you go to sleep first." Li Mu looked at the people in front of him and said a little speechlessly.

They were in good spirits, but he was really sleepy.

"No, this is our first movie, we have to wait for the box office." Liu Yifei refused directly.Zhu Yawen and others also nodded, obviously very much in agreement.

Seeing how determined they were, Li Mu had no choice but to risk his life to accompany Junzi. He was really sleepy.

Not long after, China Film Group sent a message.

The early morning box office was 203 million, second only to the early morning box office of "Hero".

"Wow, 203 million, Xiao Muzi, we succeeded." Liu Yifei pulled Li Mu excitedly.

"Calm down, this is just the first day, maybe it will start high and then go low."

"Bah, you are no longer the director of the movie. Cursing your own movie like this makes me seriously suspect that you are the enemy's spy. Yawen and Zhou Yang, come and beat him up." Liu Yifei directed the crowd.

After playing noisily for several hours, Li Mu finally couldn't raise his eyelids and fell asleep.

The next day, Li Mu took the crew on a road show.

China Film Group strongly called Li Mu and asked Li Mu to open the business and bear the cost of the delay in "Manslaughter" in the past few days.

There’s nothing much to say. Li Mu worked hard for several days on the road for the movie’s box office.

Liu Yifei and the others looked excited and extremely happy.

The movie made the crew members so famous that fans gathered around them wherever they went, with Liu Yifei and Li Mu having the most fans.

After three days of road shows, Li Mu couldn't stand it anymore, so he took Zhu Yawen and Zhou Yang and hid back in Xiangjiang to film.

Liu Yifei originally thought that she would be able to enjoy herself for a few days, but before she had time to enjoy it, she was dragged away by Liu's mother to rush the announcement.

Li Mu received the first-week box office of "High School Musical" in Hong Kong, which was 2826 million in the first week, which shocked the entire industry.

The industry cried wolf, they didn’t expect this type of singing and dancing to be so popular.

The most shocking thing is that according to the survey, the age ratio of people watching movies is 16% among those aged 28-86, of which 68% are girls.

For the first time, the film company realized that the ability of teenagers to improve box office is so terrible, especially women. Is it so easy to make money now?

The eyes of executives at major film companies are red.

Suddenly, song and dance movie scripts were flying all over the place, and entertainment companies and coal bosses were betting on them, preparing to cash in on the popularity.

With the beginning of the summer vacation, "High School Musical" ushered in an explosion in its second week, with a box office of 3125 million, which was so high that the movies in the same period could not even get blisters.

For a time, students from all major schools knew about Li Mu and Liu Yifei, and Zhu Yawen, Zhou Yang, Yan Danchen and others also benefited.

Zhu Yawen has received many invitations to be the second male lead in idol dramas, and even Zhou Yang has been invited to be the first female lead.

The most popular one is undoubtedly Liu Yifei. Since Li Mu was almost invisible throughout the whole process, Liu Yifei became the biggest beneficiary, and the limelight was unparalleled for a while.

The female celebrities in the industry were so jealous that their stomach acid overflowed.

In the Xiangjiang studio, Li Mu sat in front of the monitor, watching the actors' performances, and received a text message from Liu Weijuan on his mobile phone.

Pepsi-Cola invited him to be an endorser for a fee of up to 800 million.

At this time, Liu Yifei also sent a text message, also about Pepsi's endorsement.
