Chapter 210 You are "in love" with 7 cows!

"Is Director Xu's "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" planned to be converted into 3D?"

Li Mu remembered that Tsui Hark's movie hadn't been completed yet, and this visit to Venice was just to build momentum for the new movie.

"Detective Dee: The Heavenly Empire" was shortlisted for the main competition of the next Venice Film Festival last time.

"Ahem, the production cost is a bit high!"

Tsui Hark blushed. He wanted to do 3D, but now the cost has reached 1.3 million. If he switches to 3D production, it will be difficult to recover the cost.

Huayi will definitely not allow Tsui Hark to do this at this time.

Li Mu didn't smile either. This is his future client. The only special effects company of this level in China is Tiancai.

Nowadays, major film companies don't source their special effects from overseas, and basically provide them to Tiancai. It has become famous in the industry with a few movies.

"3D technology is really cool after trying it."

Tsui Hark's eyes suddenly lit up: "Director Li, let's find a place to have a good chat."

When Liu Yifei saw this, she went to find Zhou Xun and Yu Feihong.

Tsui Hark and Li Mu came to the leisure space area under the big umbrella.

There are people here in twos and threes who are either in suits or in fancy dresses. They are all talking and talking about things in the film industry.

Li Mu and Tsui Hark were talking about film technology, such as 3D special effects technology, including motion capture technology, stereoscopic photography technology, digital middleware technology, virtual photography technology, etc.

"Like stereoscopic photography technology, it can not only shoot stunning 3D images, but also shoot more natural and comfortable 3D images, avoiding some common 3D movie problems, such as eye fatigue, dizziness, nausea, etc."

Li Mu talked eloquently, while Tsui Hark was no stranger to the new 3D technology. It was just that he was limited by the conditions and had to practice it. Both of them could talk about many issues.

Li Mu could tell from the conversation that Tsui Hark was already ready to make a move, and he was afraid that he would put it into practice within the next few years.

"Director Xu, please remember to come to Tiancai for the post-production special effects of future movies."

Tsui Hark didn't even think about it: "That's necessary!"

When it comes to film technology, Tsui Hark is very pursuing, and naturally he must use the best. He doesn’t care about spending a little money.

"Director Li's masterpiece will premiere tomorrow, right?" Tsui Hark suddenly remembered.

Li Mu nodded slightly: "Director Xu may not like this movie style!"

Tsui Hark prefers the world of knight-errants. His movies are all about Jianghu, and he always manages to create a Jianghu flavor of pleasure and grudges.

Tsui Hark didn't care: "Don't worry whether you like it or not. The most important thing is to learn."

On the first day after the opening of Venice, Disney officially announced that it would directly acquire the comic giant Marvel at a sky-high price of US$40 billion plus stock.

This is undoubtedly a pretty good purchase price for Surprise shareholders.

Marvel Comics has more than 5000 characters including Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and the Hulk. Currently, three "Spider-Man" and one "Iron Man" are among the top 25 in the North American box office list. superior.

Once this acquisition is successful, it means marrying the amazing Disney Company, and can take back the rights to adapt classic characters such as "Spider-Man", "X-Men" and "Iron Man".

This is undoubtedly a disaster for Sony, Paramount, Fox, etc.!
Just as this box office war starring superheroes is still going on, and Disney is clearly in a state of "doing nothing", a sure-fire move to cut down the salary in one step has completed a shocking comeback for the unhurried Mickey Mouse. reverse.

"The era of superheroes is coming soon." Li Mu thought to himself after seeing the news.

Together with Hollywood's powerful industrial system, these heroes have almost conquered the world.

However, it may also be because Hollywood is always unwilling to take risks and only wants to make blockbusters such as superheroes with the support of fans. There are fewer and fewer film innovations. China has gradually become immune to Hollywood movies and has gone its own way.

When Li Mu returned, Yu Feihong seemed to be in bad condition, and Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun were still chatting with him.

After looking at the time, it seemed that the box office had been released on the first day, and Li Mu made a rough guess.

"How many 10 years does a person have? I feel like I have done a very luxurious thing."

Yu Feihong seems to be still recalling that it is impossible for her to spend another 10 years making a movie.

"Actually, the movie is really good. On the day of the premiere, I saw that most of the female audience members were holding a bunch of tissues wet with tears and noses in their hands, and their eyes were red."

Liu Yifei also thought of the audience's performance after the premiere that day.

Literary films are sometimes in such an awkward position.

The box office of "Love Is Afterlife" exceeded 80 on its first day. Under this situation, it may be a bit difficult.

Not to mention "2012", the two upcoming movies "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Wind" alone will crowd out its film schedule and will probably be removed from the shelves in a few days.

However, Yu Feihong had already adjusted her condition the next day, and "Drive My Car" premiered in Venice.

Celebrities, film producers, and audiences came in droves.

Li Mu's name is still very popular.

The movie story focuses on four characters and a red car.

Melancholy, loneliness, love, death, sentimentality, memories, powerlessness, alienation, life insights, sublimation.
The movie is three hours long and the narrative is slow.

"Uncle Vanya who has lost the ability to drive!"

""Drive My Car" - General Rubbing under the homogenization of world movies!"

"The tragic redemption of a man who lost his wife!"

"The first 15 minutes of the movie made me wonder if watching this movie was a wrong choice, but after that, I was completely attracted. I sighed and kept thinking from time to time. I lamented the series of actions of the male protagonist and sighed " "It matches the behavior of the characters in the film. What does the story Si Siyin tell express? After thinking about it for a long time, I still have no idea. I only sighed at the end, "We must look directly at ourselves and live well!" "

After the premiere, many movie reviews came out and gave the movie high marks.

"Director Li, I shouldn't want to win the Best Actress Award." Zhou Xun laughed loudly. Seeing the high scores from major film critics, Zhou Xun could not hide his inner joy.

"Then you have to protect me from getting the golden lion."

The Venice Film Festival stipulates that each film can only win one award. Only films that win the Actor Award can win another award, but this other award cannot be the highest-level Golden Lion Award.

"Well, Director Li, I will definitely bless you to get the Golden Lion."

Zhou Xun also remembered this rule and quickly made up for it.

The crowd suddenly laughed.

But everyone is also glad that there were no problems at the premiere of "Drive My Car".

Things have been happening frequently in Venice this year. During the screening of the French entry "Lourdes", there was another late screening accident.

Since the film schedule printed by the organizing committee had already stated that the film would start at 10 p.m., the reporters waited in vain for a full hour, and the screening hall was full of complaints.

Many media reporters who lived far away had to give up watching the movie that night and gave up on this good film.

Such problems once again occurred in the screening of "Lebanon" on Monday night. Fortunately, it was only postponed to 08:30 p.m. Otherwise, another film critic would have missed this highly acclaimed masterpiece.Screenings have been postponed due to technical reasons from time to time, and the chairman of the jury, Mark Mueller, personally apologized for the "technical failure".

After Li Mu's movie was screened, film dealers began to come to his door. At this time, they made bids. If the deal was made, the film would win an award, and the selling price would be higher after returning home.

Many of the people were acquaintances, and this face seemed familiar.

Compared with the popularity and high ratings of "Drive My Car", the other two Chinese-language films that were shortlisted for the competition of this film festival caused some controversy after their premiere.

"The Prince of Tears" has received unanimous praise from the media for its images and scenes. The heroine's cheongsam style fully demonstrates the oriental charm. However, the overall style of the film is a bit dreamy. Many reporters said they did not understand it and did not know that the hero was resurrected at the end of the film. "Is the plot of "real or dreamy?"

As for "Accident", some foreign media believe that the style is similar to Johnnie To's "The Bird", and the principle is just that "people plan things, and success depends on God", there is no novelty, and the score is very low.

"Isn't that Brother Bo?" Li Mugang had just finished negotiating with the film producer, and Liu Yifei pointed at Huang Bo, who appeared in a casual outfit of a white shirt and jeans, but something didn't look right for him.

Huang Bo was still shouting at the door, and the heroine Yan Ni was beside him.

Director Guan Hu probably went to negotiate with the film producers, but he was nowhere to be seen, leaving the two of them guarding the set.

"Director Li, Yifei, you are here, do you want to come to our place and watch a comedy?" Huang Bo, Li Mu and Liu Yifei were relatively familiar with each other, and they spoke more casually.

Huang Bo felt very happy when he said this.

Yan Ni is a little more formal. After all, she is not familiar with her, and you can tell when she greets her.

"Indeed, I have watched too many literary films these days. Your comedy is not literary, right?" Liu Yifei asked with a smile, covering her mouth.

Huang Bo said carelessly: "It's definitely not literary, it's comedy. They're all the same. The next show will start soon."

"Then we'll watch it." Liu Yifei thought about the various comedies played by Huang Bo and felt that they should be very interesting.

Li Mu didn't know what to say. This movie is indeed not literary, but the end of comedy is tragedy. Liu Yifei probably hasn't realized this yet.

There were not many people in the screening room, and Guan Hu was just that famous abroad.

A man and a cow, and a village full of death
"This feels a bit like the one you filmed in "I Am Legend"!" Liu Yifei smiled, "I am Legend" is about one person and one dog.

This movie is actually about a man who lives with a cow for a lifetime in order to keep his promise.

It was really fun at first, but if I can't bear it, this movie turns out to be a tragedy.

Liu Yifei was finally happy for a long time, but the tears finally flowed down.

When I walked out of the screening room, my eyes were still red.

"Director Li, Yifei, I acted wonderfully. Remember the scene in the movie where a cow came to lick my hair. Sweet potato juice was poured on my head. What was the result? The cow came to lick me, and it turned out that He treated my hair like grass, and after licking it, he curled it up hard, almost licking all my hair!"

Huang Bo saw that the two of them were not in a high mood because of the movie, so they quickly told the "scandalous things" and subconsciously touched their hair, which immediately made everyone laugh.

Li Mu smiled and said: "The performance is really good. If you have the opportunity, we can work together."

"Thank you, Director Li!" Huang Bo smiled with joy.

"You follow Ning Hao and you don't miss filming." Li Mu scolded with a smile.

"The more, the merrier. As a young man like me, I should work hard."

"Brother Bo, please show some shame. None of us are embarrassed to say that we are young people, right Yan Ni?" Liu Yifei looked at Huang Bo's shameless look and quickly joked.

"Yifei is right. Brother Bo is still pretending to be a young man in his prime."

"Where am I stronger? Where am I stronger?"

Li Mu added: "How can you not be strong? You are already "in love" with 7 cows!"

"Hahaha"

"."

A few people were chatting away. Huang Bo had also made guest appearances as a host in recent years. These scenes were nothing to mention, and the chat atmosphere among the few was very lively.

As the day drew closer, and the closing ceremony was just a few days away, Tsui Hark went to find Li Mu before leaving.

"Director Li, I'm leaving first. We'll talk later when we have time."

Tsui Hark has also been promoting "Detective Dee: The Empire" in Venice these days. He has no new films shortlisted. Seeing that the time is almost up, he is ready to go home.

"Okay, keep in touch when you have time."

Li Mu raised his hand, and Tsui Hark came alone and left in a water taxi. It was indeed a bit like the style of his martial arts movies.

"It's time for the unspoken rules to come." Li Mu muttered. It was almost time and it was time for the Venice Organizing Committee to call.

Whether you can get a prize or not, this phone call is very important. It is equivalent to a ticket to the closing ceremony. Although you can participate in the closing ceremony without winning a prize, it feels too far away.

Fortunately, the organizing committee didn't miss the chance and called Li Mu the day before the closing ceremony.

Everyone knew what this call meant and were overjoyed.

"My carefully prepared dress that will kill everyone in an instant will come in handy."

Zhou Xun was very excited, not only him, but also Liu Yifei, Yu Feihong, Duan Yihong, and Luo Jin.

Only Li Mu didn't feel anything.

Everyone is waiting for the closing ceremony during the opening ceremony. This is the focus of Venice. No one comes here just for the awards, unless they are here to sell movies.

"Dress well tomorrow!" Li Mu smiled.

"Roger that!"

The closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival arrived as scheduled.

Li Mu, Duan Yihong, and Luo Jin are the simplest, men's suits, relaxed and simple, without losing etiquette.

It's more troublesome for women. There are all kinds of dresses, so which one to choose is a problem.

Liu Yifei showed off her temperament in a purple evening dress. Paired with earrings, necklaces and other accessories, she looked very fashionable and charming.

Many domestic media are doing text live broadcasts, and Zhalang is the most diligent one. Now with Weibo, tracking hot spots is faster.

"That Zhalang reporter is here too." Liu Yifei pointed, and everyone looked over. On the right side of the red carpet, someone was seriously filming the material.

"Let's go and say hello to him."

Liu Yifei said with a bad smile: "Hey, will he be surprised when he sees us?"

"Probably not. I read the domestic media predictions and they all said that Director Li's movie is a big hit and it probably won't make it to the red carpet. That's why I was surprised!"
