Chapter 221 Golden Globe Awards

Zhang Ziyi is very popular in the industry now. Among the two heroines, besides her, she has to choose one. This has attracted many actresses to recommend themselves.

Deng Wendi looked at all this coldly. To her, Zhang Ziyi's boyfriend was valuable. As for Zhang Ziyi, the cost of this movie was too expensive to use her as one of the heroines.

Li Binbin has not given up yet. Even if the project starts, the heroine can be changed. The movie has not yet been cast, and it is hard to say who will get it.

Compared with these big shots competing for these roles, Lu Zheng was much more "down to earth" and took Jing Tian to visit Li Mu.

He didn't even ask about the movie when he came to visit. Lu Zheng was also a good person. After all, Li Mu's project hadn't been announced yet, so it was naturally kept secret.

Lu Zheng and Jing Tian just came over to say hello as if they were simply guests.

Li Mu knew very well that Lu Zheng wanted to give Jing Tian a role.

In the past few years, Wanda and Lu Zheng have been more or less supportive of Mengying in terms of movies, and giving her a role is not a big deal.

"Xiaotian hasn't been filming recently? That's not the case. Mr. Lu, your arrangements are not in place." Li Mu smiled.

"Those are just trivial TV dramas. How can they be compared to your movies, Director Li? Besides, Tiantian has always been looking forward to filming your movie."

Jingtian's eyes also shone slightly and he nodded heavily.

Li Mu didn't agree on the spot. Jingtian was suitable for the role of system operator in The Martian. This role only lasted two minutes in total, and there was no single close-up shot.

Seeing the expectant looks of Lu Zheng and Jing Tian, ​​Li Mu decided to give the role to Jing Tian later, just to show his face and accumulate qualifications.

"Tiantian, your role is probably good." Lu Zheng and Jingtian said happily after they came out.

"Ah, Director Li didn't say anything, didn't he?" Jingtian was very confused. He didn't talk about the movie just now.

"It's because I didn't say anything." Lu Zheng smiled, but then added: "Maybe the role won't be very important."

"It doesn't matter, it'll be great if you can act in movies." Jingtian looked indifferent.

"Well, let's accumulate some experience first. Later, Uncle Lu will find some big productions for you to act in."

"."

After Li Mu sent Lu Zheng and Jing Tian away, he thought for a while and prepared to call Zhang Yi. Anyway, he had played the role of a geologist and a doctor of atomic physics, so it seemed that he could also play a botanist.

As a result, Jiang Wen brought a big bag and found Li Mu.

"Director Jiang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Wen took the crew back to the imperial capital in the past two days to hold a press conference for "Let the Bullets Fly". It was Jiang Wen's specialty to hold a press conference in the middle of filming.

"This is just a part. I have studied a lot of books on aerospace. How about it? Can Director Li trust me?"

Jiang Wen opened his backpack, which was filled with various aerospace-related books.

Li Mu had mentioned before that he was going to make a space movie, and Jiang Wen probably took it to heart.

"Two months, Director Li, give me two months and I promise to join the team."

"Aren't you going to do the post-processing of Bullets now?"

Li Mu also did some calculations for Jiang Wen, and found that two months would be roughly the time it would take for "Let the Bullets Fly" to be completed. Logically speaking, "Let the Bullets Fly" would probably be completed by now, but it was normal for Jiang Wen to extend the filming time.

"Isn't there some talent in the later stage? I plan to release this movie at the end of last year, so it won't be in the way." Jiang Wen waved his hand. He really wanted to act in Li Mu's movie.

"Ahem, Director Jiang, I guess you need to buy some basic books on biology, chemistry, and physics to read."

"Huh, there are so many damn things to watch." Jiang Wen couldn't help but take a deep breath, "No problem, I'll watch it in the past few months!"

"I also need to exercise. There is a nude photo in it. Director Jiang doesn't want the whole world to see it."

"You don't want to make a space version of "Lust, Caution," right?" Jiang Wen's eyes widened. How could he make a space movie and have such a request?

"Dedicate yourself to art."

"."

Jiang Wen always felt that this sentence was a bit familiar.

The construction of the aviation base will still take some time. This calculation almost coincides with the completion time of the bullet. Li Mu did not hesitate and decided directly.

The role played by Jiang Wen also has a leader, and he is also the leader of the Chinese side of the multinational space agency. Li Mu did not hesitate to call Li Xuejian to make a guest appearance.

"Director Li, if you have any good roles that require my old skills, just ask." Li Xuejian was not polite when he received Li Mu's call. The two of them were like old friends.

"There is indeed a role, as the leader of a space agency, and I need you to make a cameo!"

"No problem, I can't be a leader in real life. It's like acting in a movie. Just call me when the time comes!" After Li Xuejian fought cancer, he seemed to have a lot of humor and a better mentality.

After the role of Jiang Wen was decided, Li Mu was not worried about the rest of the cast. Each of these roles only had a few minutes of acting time.

In Hollywood, go to the Screen Actors Guild and look for it. In China, Li Mu is just a phone call away, and filming can begin at any time.

As a result, within a few days, Li Mu learned the news that Li Xue had established a relationship and went to the space agency. It seemed that he had a role to play, so he went there specifically to learn.

This surprised Li Mu because he had already sent this part of the script and the character only had a few minutes to play.

"This level of professionalism is truly incredible!"

Li Mu secretly lamented that he, the director, had not made special arrangements, but the actor had already taken action in advance.

Compared with the domestic Lunar New Year show, Hollywood’s Christmas show is just as intense.

Generally speaking, Christmas movies are generally divided into two types.

One is a commercial blockbuster for the box office, and the other is an art film prepared for next year's Oscars.

Among them, the 3D movie "Avatar" created by James Cameron has attracted the most attention.

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon", which was released in November, has already earned US$11 million in the United States. The period of maximum box office growth has passed. The remaining time is just grinding away. It is estimated that there will be opportunities. The box office exceeded 2.6 million.

The global box office has accumulated 6.2 million US dollars, and some countries have not yet introduced it.

Box office forecasters have raised their forecasts for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" to $7 million.

Fans and experts are once again divided over this movie.

Most film critics believe that "New Moon" is superficial and disappointing, but in a sample survey, audiences gave it a high score of A-, which means that the audience is quite satisfied with the film.

Crystal Pictures also continued to announce that it will release "The Twilight Saga 3" next year and will also start filming the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" movie.

The book "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" is currently selling like crazy, and Li Mu has also read the story, because David specifically consulted Li Mu for his opinion before announcing the filming of the movie.

"Boss, this movie is a bit difficult to make. The number of sex scenes in the book is unimaginable, including some surreal sex scenes and some violent sex scenes." David read the book and analyzed it calmly. .It's not that it can't be made, but for a movie like "The Twilight Saga" with special effects that can cost money and have die-hard fans at the box office, the biggest difficulty in production is to get a PG-13 rating and let more audiences attend.

And the descriptions in the book are undoubtedly obstacles.

"In China, we have a kind of artistic conception called blank space, which is to leave it to the audience to imagine. For example, when the scene ends after the vampire bites someone, any audience will know what they did next. This movie must get a PG-13 Rating, this is the biggest guarantee of box office.”

Li Mu repeatedly emphasized that this rating is too important. Without this rating, it is equivalent to a loss of one to two billion US dollars.

"By the way, don't forget to do the PR thing."

"Okay, boss!"

Domestically, "District [-]" was also released, but as Li Mu said, there were serious problems with this movie, mainly because the image of the alien was too disgusting, and not many people in China watched the movie.

However, people who have seen it say that most people gave this movie good reviews.

"Aliens have some bad habits, but after switching over, they have endless aftertaste!"

"Aliens just want to go home!"

"An alternative anti-big banner work in science fiction movies!"

However, what made "District [-]" somewhat controversial on the Internet was Han Han's evaluation after watching the movie.

Han Han: "District 9" is an excellent alien-themed movie, also called "Millions of Aliens in Slums". Its appearance makes the food chain run. White people bully yellow people, and yellow people bully black people. People (in fact, white people directly bully black people, while yellow people like to bully each other), black people bully aliens, and aliens bully white people.Give it [-] points.

Han Han's words made the box office of "District [-]" a lot higher, but its influence is limited in the film circle, and there will be Lunar New Year blockbusters soon.

At the end of November, the Golden Horse Awards were also announced. The best actor was born with a double yolk egg for the first time, and Huang Bo and Zhang Jiahui were tied for the best actor.

The Best Actress crown goes to Li Binbin for her wonderful performance in "The Wind".

The Zhou Xun, which had been the most vocal before, fell into disgrace.

Then "The Wind" started the celebration party, and the conflict between Zhou Xun and Li Binbin once again resounded in the circle.

"I didn't expect that women can be quite cruel when they quarrel!" Ning Hao was still in a state of eating.

Li Mu also had nothing to do, and the two started discussing.

The cause was not Zhou Xun and Li Binbin, but their managers.

At the celebration banquet, Zhou Xun's manager looked at Li Bingbing's manager and was very angry and blurted out: "Isn't it just by taking off my clothes that I won the Best Actress Award? What's the big deal?"

Unexpectedly, these words were heard by the other party, and the two immediately started yelling at each other.

Zhou Xun and Li Binbin naturally had a fight at the celebration banquet. Even Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei couldn't persuade them, and the meal ended in an unhappy manner.

Ning Hao was still thinking: "Li Binbin's contract seems to be expiring soon."

"Zhou Xun's is coming soon!"

"One of these two is going to leave?"

"Then it all depends on Huayi!"

If Li Mu remembered correctly, these two people left Huayi one after another after this celebration banquet in their previous life.

After entering December, major Lunar New Year movies have been released one after another, and the much-anticipated "Three Guns" has a box office of 12 million in less than 8 hours.

This result is not bad, the enthusiasm of movie fans is very high, and almost all the theaters showing the movie are full.

This gave Zhang Weiping unprecedented confidence.

The next night, CCTV's "News Network" broadcast the news in a short message that the box office of "Three Guns" on its first day of release had reached 2100 million.

Just when "Three Guns" was in theaters, Cameron's "Avatar" premiered in London, England to rave reviews.

Major newspapers are covering "Avatar" like crazy.

The British "Sun": "If "2012" destroyed a world, then "Avatar" created a world. Both of them are the most dazzling movies in the past decade, making people's blood boil."

"The Guardian": The final battle lasted for 20 minutes. It was extremely shocking...overwhelming. You were completely brought into the film and became one with the characters and the story.

"."

On foreign micro-blogs, the film also attracted heated discussions.

"James Cameron is a genius! I can't say anything else but "Wow" and I love this movie as much as I love 2012!"

"Avatar has never been praised enough. This movie is incredible!"

"I became a child again for 150 minutes, thank you Cameron! The 3D of the film is amazing!"

Even some ardent fans are already clamoring that they would be crazy not to give Cameron a best director nomination. Only biased or insular judges would ignore this film.

The shocking scenes of "2012" are once again reproduced in "Avatar", and the two movies are often discussed together.

Destruction and creation, this may be the difference between these two movies.

The world is once again immersed in the unparalleled experience brought by 3Diamx.

Compared with the rave reviews of "Avatar" abroad, "Three Guns" in China is a different situation. The film achieved a box office of 3000 million in just two days after its release. At the same time, it also ushered in a lot of doubts and criticisms from the audience.

"Han Han: I give "Three Guns" one point!"

""Three Guns" is Zhang Yi's "degenerate" performance."

"Three Guns: A well-designed money-making game!"

"."

There are all kinds of news on the Internet, some supportive and some slanderous, as if they all came overnight.

This movie has even erupted into a debate between elegance and vulgarity on the Internet, a "war" of artistic confrontation, with even film critics divided into three camps.

[Elite: Box office does not mean everything; Public: Audience acceptance means a good film]
[Popular: Entertainment is enough in movies; Elites: In addition to entertainment, there must be art]
Discussions on Weibo and major film forums were very lively, and many actors were involved.

It's hard for Li Mu to speak now, because the Golden Globe nomination instantly broke the lively discussion atmosphere.

The Golden Globe Award is one of the benchmarks for the Oscars, and the only ones that have won the Golden Globe Award are Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" and Li Bian's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Lee won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that year, and has been in Hollywood ever since.

People in China are no strangers to this award.
