Chapter 214 Make a series for Liu Yifei

Before Li Mu could speak, Jiang Wen couldn't stand it.

"If you don't look at the crappy movie you made, you still have the nerve to participate in the Oscars. Just go home and get some sleep."

Jiang Wen didn't have so many scruples when speaking. He was never polite and directly criticized Lu Xun in the media.

Netizens became happy for a while.

Li Mu smiled. Lu Xun was looking for scolding, so he might as well satisfy him and let Mengying directly express his opinions on the official website.

"You can just enjoy Director Lu's movies by yourself. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to take them outside?"

"These two people spoke extremely viciously and were clearly trying to slander my reputation."

When Lu Xun saw the replies from Li Mu and Jiang Wen, he became furious and directly wrote: "I suggest some directors be careful when speaking, otherwise they will be warned by a lawyer."

"Hahaha, this little grandson dares not mention his name even at this time." Jiang Wen scolded with a smile on the set, not worried about rumors at all.

"What movies did Lu Xun make?"

""Nanjing! Nanjing!".

"He had the nerve to yell, damn it, I just didn't listen to Li Mu and went into the cinema and was disgusted by this guy's movie all night long!"

"You deserve it, you don't even listen to Director Li!"

"It's a rubbish movie. If you have the nerve to use it for election, I will blush for you!"

Lu Xun thought that many netizens would support him, but he didn't expect that most of them would scold him.

"That's unreasonable, you don't know what you're selling!" Lu Xun cursed wildly.

"It's okay, stop yelling on the Internet. You can't stand up to these two. Why are you yelling?" Lu Tianming called over and said calmly.

"."

Li Mu was a little curious, why did Lu Xun stop talking and just give in?

"It's so boring." Li Mu muttered.

Liu Yifei laughed and said: "Hahaha, you and Director Jiang jointly strangled him, it would be strange not to be cowardly."

"By the way, are we going to this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Night?" Liu Yifei suddenly asked, and the invitation letter for the Bazaar at the end of the month was sent.

"I'm not going, I'll donate something."

Li Mu doesn't have much favorable impressions of these seemingly charitable things.

There is no doubt that Bazaar has done a lot of good things, but later it became a business place. It was more of a business party than a charity party.

However, since it was invited, it was still in the name of charity, so it would not be appropriate to refuse directly. Fortunately, the money from the auction items could still be used in practical ways, and Li Mu could donate something conveniently.

"Then what are you going to donate? Director Zhang seems to have donated a signed collection, and Cheng Long has donated kung fu shirts and underwear."

Liu Yifei didn't know where the news came from, so she counted the donations from Bazaar one by one.

"Then let's take part of the manuscript of "2012"."

Li Mu thought about it and realized that this was of commemorative significance. Although it was not a complete manuscript, it was worth a lot of money. He didn't know who would get it at auction.

Li Mu looked up at Liu Yifei and asked, "Are you particularly busy recently?"

I feel like Liu Yifei is very good now. She has been doing several advertising endorsements and has finished filming a long time ago.

"I have nothing to do. I watched the movie appointments, but they were nothing good." Liu Yifei didn't care at all. Anyway, one year of advertising endorsements is enough, and she can make movies occasionally, which is nice.

"How about I make a series for you." Li Mu thought for a moment. Now that Liu Yifei is so famous, if she wants to continue to grow, she has to make blockbusters, and they have to be international blockbusters, otherwise there won't be much bonus.

Almost every one of Hollywood's top superstars has the support of a series of movies. It's time to give Yifei Liu a new one to increase her appeal.

"A series? You won't lose money, right?" Liu Yifei is a little timid. Her current appeal is not up to the level of carrying a series.

"Probably not. The investment cost is not high, and the action is so exciting that you can't lose money."

"Action movie?"

"If you are the protagonist, your first film should be mainly an action movie."

There is nothing that can be done about this. Although Liu Yifei has begun to gain international fame, if she wants to open up the situation internationally, action movies are a magic weapon.

"Can you still fight?"

"Nonsense. When I started practicing martial arts in Wudang Mountain, you thought it was for nothing."

Li Mu smiled: "As long as you have confidence, I'll give you something a little more exciting this time."

"I'll watch you write the script." Liu Yifei said with great interest. The script of her action blockbuster as the heroine made people curious just listening to it.

There are not many movies suitable for Liu Yifei as a heroine, maybe "Super Body" is one of them.

Many people actually didn't understand Luc Besson's "Superbody" after watching it in the cinema. The setting of the movie is a bit ridiculous, which can also be understood as being very imaginative.

This movie is more like a literary film in nature. It feels like it is wrapped in the shell of a science fiction action movie, showing the process of mortals transforming into gods. By the way, it also allows the protagonist to say a few lines about knowledge and time. If it weren't for Scarlett Johansson, Acting, this movie will probably be rated as a bad movie.

It's not impossible to let Liu Yifei play a super-body, but the popularity needs to be raised to a higher level, which is the most suitable.

But to be Liu Yifei's pioneering film, it is still a series, and it is best to be a pure action film.

"The Witch", known as the pinnacle of Korean action films in the past 20 years, is suitable. This movie should be shot in Hollywood, learn from Hollywood's narrative style, do a good job of foreshadowing, and even occasionally reveal some cool points to attract the audience. .

The action scenes in the later stages of this movie are quite explosive. The supporting characters have already pretended to be awesome to a certain extent, but when being beaten by the heroine, there are only five words: It was really fun!
Although both "Super Body" and "Super Body" are similar revenge movies, there are certain similarities, but "The Witch" has the shadow of Chinese kung fu movies and TV dramas. The punches are to the flesh, but it is more powerful than real kung fu, and "The Witch" pays more attention to What's more is the visual impact of the movie's images, which makes the heroine stunning enough.

This story falls short of the details in the first half and the ability to lift the audience's emotions, but it is still hailed as a classic of heroine action films, and is particularly suitable for a series.

However, it is understandable that the director who made this film did not have enough money to shoot, which led to a slight delay in the early stage. After all, the action scenes really cost money.

Now that Crystal Pictures is in charge and Li Mu is writing the script, it will be different.

The warm foreshadowing in the early stage is still necessary to bring out the refreshing feeling later on, but it does not need to be so cumbersome. Li Mu is very handy in changing this aspect.

Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu's script and murmured: "Although the setting is like an action movie, the warmth you wrote about the adoptive parents seems to be a bit different from an action movie."

Li Mu didn't pay attention yet.

"Why don't you add a dog? How can warmth be without a dog?" Liu Yifei held her chin while still giving suggestions to Li Mu.

Li Mu stopped immediately, thought for a moment, then suddenly held up Liu Yifei's smooth pretty face and gave it a smack.

"You are so smart, yes, there should be a dog here!" Li Mu became excited.Li Mu quickly added the dog plot, and this idea instantly opened up.

Liu Yifei looked puzzled: "Why is adding a dog so exciting?"

After adding the dog plot, the script became more warm and distinctive, which made Liu Yifei very comfortable to watch.

But not long after, Li Mu wrote the dog to death, and also described it emphatically, and Liu Yifei immediately stopped complying.

"Why do you want to write the dog to death, ugh, then you might as well not add it, my dog!"

Liu Yifei watched Li Mu let the supporting actor kill the dog instantly, and her heart ached.

Li Mu glanced at Liu Yifei's expression. Yes, it must have this effect, otherwise the audience would not enjoy it.

"Okay, that's all for today. Let's rest first." Li Mu suddenly stood up and twisted his neck.

"Don't write anymore? What time is it?"

"Tired, need to rest."

"Ah, you just stopped when you saw the enthusiasm, how could you do this." Liu Yifei was about to cry but had no tears. The dog had just died and she was ready to reverse, but you stopped writing. It was too much.

"The Founding of the People's Republic of China" took in 1.24 million yuan in its first week, and the box office was so good that a special seminar on "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was held to discuss new models for blockbusters with the main theme.

This seminar invited many companies in the industry to participate, and Mengying asked Liu Weijuan to come forward.

According to Liu Weijuan's feedback, the experts at this seminar wrote a lot and praised the film, which has subverted the impression left by previous main theme films in terms of ideological, artistic and entertainment. It is an artistic and commercial film. Both works were very successful and created a new model of blockbusters with main themes.

Anyway, what the new model will look like was not discussed, and the seminar ended up being a commendation meeting for the "Foundation of the Nation".

Li Mu didn't want to complain. With more than a hundred big-name stars co-starring in a movie with the main theme, how do you study a new model?
Can other companies in the industry follow suit?
The problem is that everyone can't learn from it. The remuneration of these stars alone can overwhelm many film companies, and the free acting is just for the sake of China Film Co., Ltd. making this movie.

The script for the Hollywood version of "The Witch" was written very quickly and smoothly. After all, it is an action-packed movie and there was nothing difficult about it.

"With this level of bloodshed, I'm afraid some parts of it will be cut in China." Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu's description of the scene and couldn't help but say.

This script looks very exciting, and the pleasure after the twist makes people want to stop.

But the level of gore is also very high. If it is released in China, some scenes will be cut out.

"This movie is for the global market, especially the North American market, and the necessary gore is indispensable. With me here in China, there will be no problem in passing the review, but it will only leave one or two bloody scenes, and the rest will have to be cut."

Li Mu saw it very clearly. Although part of the blood was cut out, the thrill of the twist is still there, and it will not particularly affect movie viewing in China.

Moreover, this action scene is more explosive than the original version. In the previous life, the director did not have enough funds and did not dare to let go.

But there is no such restriction here in Li Mu, and the investment in the movie itself is not large. If it is released globally, it will definitely make money. It depends on how much it can hit the box office.

"I suggest you practice martial arts well, I'm afraid you won't be able to perform."

"Look down on me. You'll know better when it's filmed. Do you want to direct this movie yourself?"

"I shouldn't be free. Crystal Pictures will hire a professional director to direct it. Then a famous Hollywood action star will be hired to torture you. This will be the movie."

This kind of action scene doesn't require Li Mu to do it himself. There are many directors in Hollywood.

As long as the script is strictly adhered to, this movie will be good.

"Boss, oh, Crystal is finally going to be the heroine." David called immediately after receiving Li Mu's script.

"Find a suitable action film director and an actor with a decent reputation."

"Crystal is really violent in this movie. The audience will probably like it very much. I have to go to the Screen Actors Guild to find an actor."

Liu Yifei listened very much: "Thank you David!"

"Congratulations, Crystal, I believe you will become popular all over the world." David immediately started to praise you.

Liu Yifei's eyes narrowed when she heard this, and she kept smiling.

"Let's get this movie approved as soon as possible."

Li Mu really didn't want to listen to this fat man's praise, and almost praised Liu Yifei as an Oscar-winning actress.

"The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is still in theaters, and another tribute blockbuster "The Wind" also held a grand premiere at Nortel, unveiling its mystery.

Two gift films are about to detonate the box office during the National Day holiday.

The Bazaar Charity Gala has already begun. Although Li Mu did not participate, the donations were there.

There were many people attending the charity party, including Wang Zhongjun, Cheng Long, Fang Zuming, Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, Huang Xiaoming, Hu Jun, Liu Jialing
"The following item is part of the manuscript of "2012" donated by Director Li Mu. The starting price is 100 million." As the auctioneer's voice fell, many people in the audience whispered.

"The great directors all give gifts. No wonder Sissi didn't come. Director Li is so generous." Zhou Xun was still muttering to the side.

The last album signed by Zhang Yi sold for 100 million yuan.

Next to her, Li Binbin was wearing a black dress and was sitting next door. She also heard Zhou Xun's muttering.

She was also very envious of the relationship between Li Mu, Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun. Such was the connection, she would not be surprised if Zhou Xun would hit Hollywood one day.

But I feel a lot better when I think about my relationship with Wendi Deng. She is coming to Hollywood soon, but this Hollywood movie has been delayed for too long.

It made her a little uneasy.

Part of the manuscript of Li Mu's "2012" was sold for 500 million in an instant.

In the end, Cheng Long bid 1000 million and won the manuscript.

When he got the manuscript of "2012", Cheng Long did not forget to thank the people below. Cheng Long planned to get this manuscript at any cost.

The movie "2012" brought him back to the peak of his career. He usually doesn't have the chance to thank Li Mu, so this time he had to give back.

The hundreds of celebrities below are also a little surprised, because considering the amount of this manuscript, which is only about one-tenth of the total amount, it can actually be sold for 1000 million. This value is really extraordinary.

"Qianxi, your director Li's manuscript sold for 1000 million." Zhou Xun immediately sent a message to Liu Yifei.

The surrounding reporters quickly recorded it. This is probably the winner tonight.

As expected, the most expensive item sold tonight was the manuscript of "2012", followed by "Sisters in the Garden", which Shi Yuzhu paid 780 million for.

After seeing the message, Liu Yifei opened her mouth slightly and was a little surprised.

"Amu, your manuscript was auctioned for 1000 million."

"Huh? That's good!"

Li Mu didn't find it surprising. He guessed it was around 800 million, but some people offered 1000 million, which was quite generous.
