Chapter 417 Listening to the sound of the person you like sleeping is also a kind of happiness

Every time Li Mu achieves success in Hollywood, the Korean director will be reviled by the Korean people.

Maybe it was finally time to work hard, and the Korean director finally made an explosive debut in 2013.

Fans of the Hollywood action blockbuster "The Last Stand" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, which was released in mainland China on October 10, are the works of Korean director Kim Ji-woon.

Well-known directors such as Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho, who are at the height of their popularity in the Korean film industry, have also begun to turn to Hollywood to work hard.

However, "The Last Stand" was released in North America at the beginning of this year on January 1. The reviews were acceptable, but the box office was not satisfactory.

The production cost was US$4500 million and it only earned US$1200 million at the box office in North America.

It can be said that it is far from Li Mu's record.

However, domestic media occasionally reported on it.

"Is Korean director able to compete with Hollywood or is he acclimated?"

"Hey, there's nothing good about going to Hollywood to shoot. I've been here before, so I know what's going on."

Tsui Hark quickly shook his head, "You have too many overseas fans and moviegoers, and the box office is huge."

Tsui Hark said with a smile, Li Mu still invited Xu Hark to eat for this meal.

Li Mu recalled that when he first broke into Hollywood, unless he invested in the production himself, it was really uncomfortable to lose the final editing rights.

Tsui Hark was a little depressed.

With some emotion, his works in Hollywood, "The King of Strike" and "KO" are the least mentioned by fans among his series of works.

"Then I won't do it. Who dares to compete with you, Director Li, in overseas box office?"

Tsui Hark filled a glass of wine for himself and chatted with Li Mu about the Korean director's move to Hollywood.

Li Mu smiled and touched it. The mellow aroma of the liquor seeped into his throat, seeming to add a touch of warmth to these chilly autumn days.

Tsui Hark said calmly, "In order to ensure that the equipment can operate normally at minus 10 degrees Celsius, I have asked the equipment management and shooting teams to conduct low-temperature tests in the snow in advance. However, the weather in the Imperial Capital seems not to be cooperative this year."

Li Mu asked casually while eating the food.

"The domestic box office has suffered a lot more losses than me. We should have included overseas movies in the first place."

"I'm waiting for it to snow in the Imperial Capital. I don't know if it will snow this year."

This movie has been in development for a long time, but Tsui Hark seems to have never started shooting it.

"Let's not talk about these old things. Let's try one. The banquet prepared by Director Li just tastes different."

Similar reports are emerging one after another, and with Li Mu in the country, the media's reports seem to be more confident.

"By the way, how's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" going?"

In fact, in Li Mu's view, Hollywood is just a label, not synonymous with success and value.

Too many directors from too many countries have gone to Hollywood to test the waters. Some stayed and some left. It was just a cultural shock experience.

In fact, it is not just him. For example, Chen Kaige went to Hollywood to film "Killing Me Softly" and Chen Kexin went to Hollywood to film "Love Letter", which is rarely mentioned.

"Hollywood looks tempting, but the producer-centered system puts a lot of constraints on Asian filmmakers who are accustomed to the director-centered system. The lack of final editing rights makes it even more difficult for Asian directors to use their hands freely."

"If it doesn't work, we can just build artificial snow scenes in the suburbs of Beijing."

Li Mu suggested that he seemed to remember that it seemed that there had been no snow in the imperial capital in 13. If we really had to wait, the movie would be delayed.

"Wait until December, or if it doesn't work, then this will be it." Tsui Hark said a little depressed. The film needs to start shooting from the imperial capital and then transfer to the northeast.

Snow in the Northeast is easy to say, but there seems to be no news about it in the Imperial Capital for the time being.

"By the way, Tiancai's CG team customized a purebred wild Siberian tiger for the movie."

Tsui Hark thought of business. He was not just here to eat this time.

"Your request is quite specific. Purebred, wild, and Siberian tigers are the three major conditions."

Li Mu smiled teasingly, "It's okay to take care of Tiancai."

This is probably a plot specially set by Tsui Hark to present the legendary "beating a tiger up the mountain".

Before Tsui Hark left, he specially invited Li Mu: "On the day of the start-up, if it is convenient, Director Li can come over and give me some guidance."

"Row!!"

Li Mu waved his hand.

The launch date is December, and the Lunar New Year schedule of "The Tuner" seems to overlap somewhat. Li Mu doesn't know the specific launch time, so maybe he really doesn't have time.

The Hollywood 3D animated film "Hotel Transylvania" was released in China today.

On the first day of November, the melee for imported films officially started.

However, "Hotel Transylvania" faces more obstacles in the future.

4th, 8th, 15th. Until the 29th.

During the month, an imported film was released every few days, and the total number of imported films in November was as many as 11.

The intensity of imported films in the domestic film market in November shocked and puzzled foreign media, who exclaimed that even the North American summer season could hardly have such a scale and lineup.

In addition, they are worried about the box office of these films - the diversion is serious, and blockbusters may also become "cannon fodder". Typical of Han San Chong's routine, the quota for imports has been released anyway, so you can go on your own if you are given a time slot.

"Director Han, you are going to be regarded as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the side."

Li Mu said with a smile. Han Sanping's voice was still a little noisy at this time. He was probably attending the annual meeting of the Chinese Film Directors Association in Sichuan Province.

Li Mu really didn't want to leave this time, and ended up being absent again.

"I will retire soon anyway, what can they do to me?"

Han Sanping laughed and didn't care at all.

"You'd better take a look at the report on the 'Right of Secondary Remuneration' and give some comments. It will be sent to the National People's Congress later as suggestions for amending the Copyright Law."

Han Sanping reminded that with the efforts of the Directors Association and directors, the draft was revised for the second time, and the proposal that the director appeared for the first time as an "author" and received a "secondary right to remuneration" still appeared.

"it is good!"

Li Mu nodded. Although he felt that this thing was not interesting, after all, the association also hired professional lawyers to provide services.

For his best foreign language film, Feng Xiaogang has flown to Los Angeles to hold the premiere of the "Imperial Capital Film North American Screening" featuring Feng Xiaogang's films at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, USA.

Friends Zhang Guoli and his wife, Tang Guoqiang and his wife, and Huayi Brothers CEO Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei all attended the event.

This North American screening will focus on Feng Xiaogang's film works, and will focus on screening 7 Feng Xiaogang films, including "Tangshan Earthquake", "Cell Phone" and "".

Of course, this is to give reporters a comprehensive understanding of his personal style and "1942" itself.

In order to have a chance to compete for the best foreign language film, he also put in a lot of effort.

Many media reporters were invited, but it is hard to say whether they can understand the style of Feng's works.

Feng Xiaogang's face was full of excitement.

"Hey, I can still do it a few more times in the future. Even if I don't get nominated for the best foreign language film, it doesn't seem to be a loss."

Feng Xiaogang looked at the large number of overseas media and felt proud.

Anyway, Huayi still contributed money and effort to the event.

Feng Xiaogang is the backbone of Huayi. Even though Huayi has been trying to find a second backbone for these years, there has been no progress. Therefore, whatever Feng Xiaogang does, Huayi has to give strong support.

Just like protecting the stock price.

At this time, another piece of news exploded the restless hearts of netizens.

"Thank you for your concern and blessings. We cherish this hard-earned relationship. We sincerely hope that everyone will give us some free time and space in our only private life. Thank you for your understanding. @ Liu Shisi."

Apparently Wu Qilong couldn't bear the loneliness late at night and quietly announced the news.

Later, Liu Shishi retweeted this post on Weibo and said: "Thank you for your concern, I believe God will give you the best arrangement @武奇龙TD".

Wu Qilong and Liu Shisi have been working together as a couple in "Step by Step", "Step by Step", and "Sharp Benevolent Teacher". The news of falling in love because of the drama has been spreading more and more in the past two months.

Now the two have finally made it official.

However, many netizens complained about it.

"Wu Qilong debuted and Liu Shisi was born."

"I can't accept this age gap?"

"Isn't it Liu Shisi who hasn't acted yet?"

At this time, Liu Yifei was still chatting and eating melon with Li Mu at night.

Of course, it was just Li Mu late at night, and Liu Yifei had no part in the scene at this time, so she kept pestering Li Mu and calling her.

Li Mu felt extremely sleepy, and he responded in a daze to almost everything Liu Yifei said.

Li Mu, who couldn't hold it any longer, fell asleep.

Liu Yifei, who was still in Canada at this time, supported her head with her little hands and listened to Li Mu's even breathing with great interest, without feeling tired.

Sometimes listening to the sound of the person you like sleeping is also a kind of happiness.

The domestic box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" has reached 11 billion on November 1, and it is still continuing to make about 14 million every day.

The domestic box office is expected to exceed 15 billion, but there is no further hope.

Hollywood blockbusters are also released one after another.

"Hotel Transylvania" has only been released for less than three days, and the Hollywood prison-break action film "Escape Plan", which has attracted fans born in the 70s and 80s, has already landed in major theaters.

Although "Escape Plan" is very poor at the North American box office, it has only received more than 1700 million at the box office after being released for two weeks.

It's a far cry from the US$1.22 million earned by "Edge of Tomorrow" in two weeks.

But in China, from the moment it was announced that the two tough guys would star together, it was destined to be a movie that attracted more attention than the other Hollywood blockbusters.

The only thing that the director needs to pay attention to is how to make good use of these two late heroes to make a cool and awesome old-school action movie.

Some people say that "Escape from the Golden Cicada" could have used the laziest and most effective shooting method, which is to let these two tough guys who finally got together use their best skills of smashing, looting, burning, simple and rough to be unreasonable again.

However, the director chose to adopt a high-end and classy "big guy with great wisdom" style, trying to tell an imperfect prison escape story with a script full of loopholes.
