Chapter 432 "To the Oak Tree" (Updated today)

""Police Story 2013" has accumulated a box office of 9 million in the 3.8th day of its release, and is about to exceed 4 million. According to industry estimates, the final box office is expected to hit the 6 million mark."

"The Tuner" has been postponed for two weeks and has now grossed 10.08 billion, becoming the third film in 2013 to break 10 billion and the first domestic suspense film to enter the 10 billion box office club.

""Private Customization" has accumulated a total revenue of 6 million, and there is news that the film will be extended for one week."

Entering January, although there are movies being released one after another, due to the excellent performance of "The Tuner" and "Private Custom", the two movies have already received the extension key.

However, Li Mu estimates that even if it is postponed, it will only make up for some gaps in the schedule. After all, the potential has been exhausted, and there will be no big breakthrough no matter what.

Li Mu is still filming "Jurassic World" in Hawaii, but now there is a problem. Simple scenes are fine, but more complicated scenes, where a bunch of actors interact with the air, are sometimes difficult to shoot.

"Click, stop."

Li Mu sat in front of the monitor and shook his head, then called the executive director.

"Find four actors to play the role of the Velociraptor. Give them a day to see the Velociraptor's movements. We will shoot other scenes today."

Li Mu calmly ordered that it would be okay if there was only the male protagonist, but when other staff appeared, some people would not be able to keep up, so we might as well get over it once and for all.

It can be said that he brought Mandarin films to Hong Kong and established the first standing film studio.

It's just that the staff is very hardworking.

Li Mu shouted with a loudspeaker. This scene was a child playing in a paradise riding a small triceratops.

But in fact, the actors were played by the staff, who had to carry the young actors on their backs and crawl slowly on the ground, and then synthesize the special effects later.

"Okay, let the kids get ready."

Fortunately, I only took pictures one by one and supplemented them one by one, so it didn’t take too much time.

Destiny never seems to go as planned.

Li Mu responded with a smile.

Now all the major news reports are reporting on this matter, along with the legendary love story of Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua who have been together for 60 years. Obviously Liu Yifei is interested in the latter.

Li Mu half-covered his face. He had already thought about the joy of the scene during the subsequent filming.

The Shaw Brothers Kingdom has produced a large number of movies and cultivated many talents in front of and behind the scenes. Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, and it is also because of Shaw Brothers.

"I really envy their love story."

This seems more like the end of an era of movies.

Liu Yifei's focus made Li Mu a little confused. The two of them were talking about it, but why did they end up here.

The children were indeed very happy in this scene. Needless to say, their smiles were already overflowing.

"So I can marry two?"

Celebrities in the circle and many people outside the circle expressed their condolences.

The former helmsman of Shaw Brothers Films and Hong Kong TVB, who conquered the film and television market in Hong Kong and even the entire Southeast Asia, and even had a great record in American film history, died at the age of 107. This is the end of the life of this cross-century film and television tycoon.

At this moment, something big happened again in the circle.

The executive director immediately selected four people, but Li Mu took a look at the four selected people and thought, well, four big men.

After all, Run Run Shaw is not the richest man in Hong Kong, but he is one of the few philanthropists among the rich in Hong Kong.

".you dare!!!"

Liu Yifei's tone suddenly became angry. She wanted to run to Hawaii and strangle Li Mu.

"Don't you envy other people's love stories?"

"Hmph, your focus is always so special."

"???"

Countless question marks appeared in Li Mu's mind, who was paying special attention to him.

"Amu, do you know which one of the ways two people get along is my favorite?"

Liu Yifei suddenly asked.

"Ok?"

"There is such a sentence in Shu Ting's poem"

Li Mu listened quietly, and he had probably guessed which poem by Shu Ting it was.

"I must be a kapok tree next to you, standing with you as the image of a tree."

Sure enough, it was "To the Oak" by Shu Ting.

"Isn't that what you are now?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, according to his understanding, this is indeed Liu Yifei's character.

Because she never wanted to be a vine, nor a dodder, but a tree.

One tree and another tree are like-minded and equal partners.

This is also the reason why Liu Yifei works so hard, whether she is an actor, a producer or a subsequent director.

Accompaniment and embellishment were never what she wanted.

"Hehe, I know you understand me."

Liu Yifei was very happy, lying on the bed. Although she was a salty fish occasionally, she would not always be a salty fish.

Every year, the Golden Globe Awards is like a year-end party for Hollywood stars. Before the fierce competition for the Oscars, everyone has a meal, a good experience, and an "award" by the way. Just yesterday, on the evening of January 1th local time in the United States, the annual Golden Globe Awards hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association came to an end in Beverly Hills.

This year's Golden Globe Awards were all smooth and joyful, with no dark horses and no big disappointments. In a word, artistic films defeated blockbusters, so it became an awards ceremony that was quite artistic and not as exaggerated as in previous years.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has taken great pains to place almost every popular blockbuster in each award-winning seat. It can be said that every family has meat and everyone is happy.

The dramas between the male protagonist and the male protagonist and the female protagonist and the female protagonist have become highlights.

Leonardo DiCaprio won his second Best Actor Award at the Golden Globe Awards for "The Wolf of Wall Street". The last time he won the Best Actor Award for Drama was for "The Aviator".

After winning the Best Actor Award, Xiao Lizi was in high spirits and even boasted about his awesomeness with Li Mu for a while.

"Li, I feel like my Oscar winner is secure this time."

Xiao Li Zi feels that he has never been so confident. He was still young in "The Aviator" last time, so it is normal not to give it to him.

But this time it was different. He was an "old man" with considerable qualifications.

"I hope so, but it's a pity that I awarded the Best Director Award, otherwise I might have known the result a few seconds in advance."

Li Mu did not damage his self-confidence. Now Leonardo's self-confidence is unprecedented.

But Li Mu knows that those who sit in charge of the Oscars are still a group of old bones. They pay attention to respecting their teachers and work hard to jump out of the timeline and select images that can be preserved as history for future generations.

The Golden Globe Awards are different. They can happily choose the movies they like, and these movies are exactly what ordinary people like at the moment.

Especially after the new chairman took office, the Golden Globe Awards are also trying to step out of the shadow of the Oscars, showing a rebellious "anti-vane" tendency.

Therefore, the reference quality of this year’s Golden Globe Awards is a bit pitiful.

"Hey, after I finish the party, I'll go over to visit you later."

Leonardo is very happy. Nothing makes him happier than winning the Best Actor Award. It will be 10 years since he won the Golden Globe Award.

"Then you have to go to New Orleans."

Li Mu smiled lightly and said that the filming here will be completed in a few days. A large part of the remaining scenes are in the parking lot of an abandoned amusement park in New Orleans, where preparations are already in place.

"It's the same everywhere. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently."

Leonardo said indifferently. Anyway, his latest task is public relations, and he will try to throw as many parties as possible during the Oscar nomination and the time after the nomination.

Just a few days after the Golden Globe Awards, in the early morning of January 1, local time in Hollywood, the nomination list for the 16th Academy Awards was announced in Hollywood.

The awards ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on the evening of March 3, local time.

Leonardo got his wish and was nominated for Best Actor.

However, the one that attracts the most attention in China is of course Wong Kar-Wai's "The Grandmaster". After all, it was shortlisted among the top 9.

In particular, the filmmakers and media in Hong Kong are particularly concerned about his bid for the Olympics.

"The Grandmaster" is the "purest" film that has ever represented Hong Kong in the Oscar competition for the best foreign language film.

In the past, Zhang Yimou's "Raise the Red Lantern" and Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" became Hong Kong's "Olympic bid representatives" because their investment companies were registered in Hong Kong. Although both films were nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, in fact It’s still a mainland film.

Although "The Grandmaster" is a co-production this time, the main cast is composed of Hong Kong filmmakers.

Wong Kar-Wai's "The Grandmaster", which "works slowly and carefully", has achieved good box office results in both the Mainland and Hong Kong. In North America, it even ranked third among the top-grossing foreign films of the year with a box office of US$660 million in North America.

The film was operated in the United States by the "Oscar manipulator" The Weinstein Company, and was highly recommended by the famous director Martin Scorsese. However, it ultimately lost the Oscar nomination for foreign language film and was only nominated for two Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design. Technical awards, but this is already the second-highest ranking of Chinese-language films in the Oscars in the past ten years.

The first place is still a few years ago when Li Mu won the best foreign language film for "Drive Your Car".

Many netizens felt sorry for him.

However, Li Mu didn't have time to care about this at the moment, because the scene in Hawaii was about to end and he was going to New Orleans.

Mainly the scenes of the heroine Bryce Dallas Howard. Speaking of which, Bryce has some fate with Li Mu, or I should say she has some fate with Crystal Pictures.

Because Victoria, the second female lead in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" was played by her.

The staff quickly placed an elevator in the central area.

This is a simulated elevator scene in the movie. Since the movie is about a future world, some things are rather sci-fi and difficult to photograph in real life, so some special effects elements have to be added to it.

"Afraid of heights?"

Li Mu asked subconsciously.

"of course not."

Bryce shook her head. Even if an actor is afraid of heights, he still deserves it.

Li Mu nodded, and he asked casually.

"You will have to stand on the elevator to rise to a height of five meters later. Of course you will be protected, so don't worry too much."

Li Mu gestured to the blanket below, but it would be quite scary if it really fell down.

After all, this elevator is indeed a bit crude.

"Director, no problem at all."

Bryce didn't dare to make any pretense. Not to mention that this movie was a huge production, a director of Li Mu's level and an actor of Leonardo's level could probably make some demands.
