Chapter 413 During the event

After getting off the car, Li Mu, Liu Yifei, Wu Jing and others went straight to the "Edge of Tomorrow" theater.

When entering the cinema lobby, Li Mu saw many movie fans queuing up.

"Li Mu and Liu Yifei are here, look!"

"Damn, why is the ticket checking speed so slow!"

"Li Mu even waved to me, ah, I'm so envious of Liu Yifei. You should give Li Mu to me!!!"

A female fan shouted.

The people who were noisy on the side immediately turned their eyes over.

Okay, I have a pretty face, but my figure seems to be lacking and shriveled up.

These people quickly looked away because they like plumper ones

……

The staff looked at the checked ticket stubs in their boxes, recalled the moviegoers who watched today, and made a bold guess.

"Hahaha"

While Li Mu was thinking, several people had already entered the "Edge of Tomorrow" theater. When the audience in the theater saw the three people standing in front of the stage, they immediately exclaimed and screamed.

Liu Yifei was still covering her mouth and laughing.

When Li Mu heard this, black lines appeared on his forehead.

Instead, Li Mu changed the subject: "We won't satisfy you anyway."

Li Mu continued to ask.

The audience fell silent upon hearing this, and then the whole audience burst into laughter.

Even the staff outside seemed to be able to feel the lively atmosphere in the cinema.

The movie-watching activity ended soon, and Li Mu and the others took a short break before rushing to the next one.

Li Mu joked to himself.

"They should all be fans waiting to see Edge of Tomorrow."

"Hahaha, finally met Li Mu and Liu Yifei"

Crazy laughter broke out in the theater, and many viewers passing by outside heard it.

When Li Mu heard this, he naturally would not refuse and quickly signed his name.

Some fans are already ready to go.

You can endure hardship.

At the same time, Li Mu also looked up at the big screen in the eye shadow hall, then looked at the theater staff and asked:

"Who are these movie fans queuing up?"

Among them, apart from Wu Jing herself, the only famous one is her friend Yu Nan, who appeared in a friendly role.

When Wu Jing heard this, the smile on her face became even bigger.

"Liu Yifei is really beautiful. Her eyes light up when she looks at Li Mu. They are so sweet. I highly recommend!!!"

"I am Li Mu, the director and leading actor of "Edge of Tomorrow". Thank you in advance for choosing to watch our movie. It is our honor to let everyone see us alive."

Li Mu and others also smiled and waved to everyone and said hello, and if these are the special event venues for watching "Edge of Tomorrow", they can see each other later.

The eyes of the moviegoers and fans suddenly lit up, and even Liu Yifei looked over with surprise, as if asking: "What's going on? It seems that there was no rehearsal beforehand!"

"By the way, Brother Jing, how are you preparing for "Wolf Warrior"?"

"It went very well, Director Li. I have already asked the brothers to do special forces training first. After two or three months of training, we can start filming."

Li Mu waited until everyone was quiet before speaking.

The staff member then said with expectation, "Director Li, why don't you sign your name for me? I'm also a fan of yours."

""The Dragon King" is a little better, but it is definitely not as high as "Edge of Tomorrow". As for the other movies, not many people have watched them."

At this time, the photos and speeches of Li Mu taking everyone to participate in "Edge of Tomorrow" were trending on social media by fans.

Li Mu nodded. The group of people chosen by Wu Jing were all actors who performed well but were not famous.

"It's a pity that I didn't buy a ticket for this show."

"It's not easy, I can actually see a living person!!!"

Wu Jing explained that military temperament is not easy to cultivate. In order to be perfect, one must practice it first.

“What’s the attendance like for other films?”

"'It's our honor to let everyone see us alive', oh, I can't do it anymore, please let my stomach rest for a while!!!"

"I don't know if I can eat Mr. Xu's food."

"What did you say? Why are you laughing so loudly!!!"

"Sisters, you must go and see it. Li Mu is so funny. I laughed to death. The whole event felt more exciting than the movie."

……

"Thank you, thank you all. Next we have a 20-minute interactive session. If you want to know anything or have any requests, please feel free to ask. What about your private life, when will you marry Liu Yifei, the scandals of some celebrities, etc. Don't worry. What are your concerns?"

"Li Mu and Liu Yifei don't have many opportunities to participate in events. Come on, brothers and sisters."

The next day, October 10, the first-day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" was finally released.

The box office of 9300 million on the first day was enough to make theater chains laugh out loud.

"Edge of Tomorrow's first-day box office of 9300 million has once again set a new domestic first-day box office record, and the single-day box office record is expected to be broken again." At this moment, Tsui Hark is also leading a team to promote "The Dragon King".

“9300!!!”

Xu Hark stroked the beard on his chin, "Fortunately, it's not too exaggerated. Maybe I can get this meal."

Compared with "The Dragon King", which includes an announced investment of nearly 2 million yuan, "Edge of Tomorrow", which claims an investment of million US dollars, naturally needs more box office.

"Hey, Director Li, I lost on the first day. You can go prepare the restaurant first."

Tsui Hark called and joked.

"Director Xu, don't be anxious, the box office depends on the staying power!!!"

Li Mu said calmly.

At this time, the box office of "Shendu Dragon King" cannot be underestimated, with the box office exceeding 200 million in four days.

Some insiders predict that the film has "huge potential and full stamina. It is expected to exceed 1 billion and become Tsui Hark's best-selling film."

This made Tsui Hark full of confidence.

"."

October arrived, and on only the second day, the films selected for delivery in the Mainland, which had not been announced before, were finally confirmed.

In fact, as early as the end of September, Baodao District and Xiangjiang District had already confirmed that the films to be sent would be Chung Meng-hong's "Lost Soul" and Wong Kar-Wai's "The Grandmaster", but there has been no news from the mainland.

Public opinion here in the Mainland is generally optimistic about Feng Xiaogang's "1942", Wang Quanan's "Reunion" and Wang Jing's "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart".

Jia Zhangke's "Destined" is also highly anticipated. Unfortunately, since the film has not yet been released in China, it is not eligible to apply.

In the end, Feng Xiaogang's "1942" was nominated for the Mainland's nomination for the best foreign language film.

Although this year, as many as 76 countries and regions are actively submitting films, setting a new record for the number of films participating.

However, compared with the previous two years, the overall strength of this year's best foreign language film "contestants" is relatively weak, and there are no big seeds that were locked in early like "A Separation" and "Love" in the previous two years.

"It's a pity. If it were Jia Zhangke's "Destined", it might be the winner this time."

Li Mu felt a little emotional that this session was indeed a great opportunity.

Liu Yifei was a little confused and asked with doubtful eyes:

"why?"

"David discovered a Chinese movie last week that was loved by foreign media critics, and some media even gave it a 100-point score."

Li Mu said calmly, obviously he was talking about Jia Zhangke's "Destiny", which was released on a small scale in North America last Friday.

But if "Destiny" bypasses the Best Foreign Language Film competition and directly goes to North America to compete, the advantage will be very small.

In fact, another Danish film "The Hunt" that was hailed as this year's popular foreign language Oscar film failed to qualify.

It has a profound display of human nature, society, values, etc.

Liu Yifei blinked. It wasn't Li Mu's movie anyway, so she didn't care much about it.

At the same time, Feng Xiaogang was a little moved when he saw the nomination list for this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Judging from the preliminary list of the best foreign language film, the major European film countries are generally weak: France's "Renoir", Spain's "15 and a Day", Germany's "Two Lives", Italy's "La Pellegrini", Comparatively speaking, "The Beautiful City" is still somewhat well-known.

"good chance!!!"

Feng Xiaogang secretly thought that his pursuit of awards is now slowly increasing.

If a director does not have any awards, it seems that his status is naturally much weaker than other directors.

Like Brother Chen Kai, the movie box office doesn't seem to be very good, but he can always beat him. When others mention it, they always discuss it with Li Mu, Zhang Yimou and others, but he still falls on the second level.

Feng Xiaogang thought about it and felt that he still couldn't give up this good opportunity.

If there is anyone in China who is most familiar with Oscars, even movie fans don’t have to think about it, it must be Li Mu.

Feng Xiaogang no longer hesitated, directly picked up the phone and found Li Mu's phone number in the address book.

At this moment, Li Mu, who had finished his activities today, wanted to take a break to prepare for this week's activities.

Although there are few activities, every game is still quite tiring for him, and the journey is tiring.

However, Li Mu arranged the last two days of the event in Yangcheng, and he could go back home on the way, so that Li's mother wouldn't have to talk about the New Year and the holidays all day long without being seen.

It was at this moment that the cell phone rang.

"Feng Xiaogang?"

Li Mu frowned, a little surprised.

"Director Feng, what can I do for you?"

Li Mu asked curiously. Feng Xiaogang's calls were relatively rare.

Liu Yifei yawned and was not at all curious about this call. If it was a female celebrity calling, she might sit over and listen carefully. But if it was a grown man calling, she would have no interest at all.

"Director Li, don't I want you to give me some advice? It's about the best outside film."

Feng Xiaogang didn't hide it and went straight to the point.

""1942"" Li Mu muttered. To be honest, in Li Mu's opinion, the probability of "1942" being nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is quite low.

On Rotten Tomatoes, a well-known foreign film review website, Feng Xiaogang's "40" has a favorable rating of only 74%, and "The Grandmaster" has a positive rating of %, neither of which has reached the level of Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

Among the previous Chinese films nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the one with the lowest favorable rating was "Farewell My Concubine" at 88%, and the average favorable rating was as high as 95%. In this regard, "" is far behind.
