China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 463 You fooled me again

"The setting here follows a regular pattern of alternating exterior scenes - scenery - exterior scenes."

Li Mu explained to the set designer, "Do you understand what I mean?"

After the opening song and dance, the coffee shop where the heroine works is an artificial set.

However, the filming of the opening song and dance of the first scene has not yet started.

"Understood, Director Li!"

Li Mu nodded and left.

While Li Mu continued filming, the box office of "Transformers: Age of Extinction," the top-grossing summer movie produced by Paramount, exceeded the 4 billion mark in the early hours of Saturday morning.

After surpassing the record of "Edge of Tomorrow", "Transformers 4" did not stop and broke dozens of box office records in a row, becoming the new top of the Chinese movie box office rankings.

"Damn, this shouldn't exceed 20 billion."

The quiet Huangpu River flows slowly, reflecting the buildings in Lujiazui, and several ferry whistles can be heard in the distance from time to time.

Li Mu hugged him directly, "This way he won't be cold."

Only Li Mu was holding back his smile.

The smile that appeared in the report was something that I couldn't even hide.

"Oh."

The cool Bumblebee, the sword-dancing Optimus Prime and the cool special effects have indeed attracted a large number of domestic audiences.

Liu Yifei closed her eyes and enjoyed it, feeling very comfortable.

Liu Yifei was still beating Li Mu's chest gently with her little fist, "If you want to hug me, just say so, and you still use this trick."

Li Mu shouted with a loudspeaker, and everyone packed up their things and evacuated the scene.

How could Liu Yifei not understand at this moment that Li Mu was afraid that she was deceiving her again.

At this time, a cool breeze came, bringing a bit of coolness to this hot summer.

"Ah, you fooled me again."

Liu Yifei was like a child, holding hands with Li Mu and swinging wildly.

But what is strange is that both of them are wearing masks. Fortunately, at night, the view is not too clear. Occasionally, some people observe these strange two people, but they behave very normally and there are no accompanying people or people behind them. Generating too much guesswork.

Liu Yifei told him in the morning that she wanted to go shopping together tonight. She has been here for so many days and basically went back to the hotel after filming. It was too monotonous.

"Remember your mentality and feelings at this moment, it will come in handy when making movies later."

"Cold?"

At this time, Li Mu said seriously.

"Hahaha"

Li Mu smiled and refused. Liu Yifei only wanted to live in a world of two, so how could she bring light bulbs like them with her.

"I mean it."

On the Bund, bathing in the breeze, Li Mu and Liu Yifei walked hand in hand along the river.

The filming progress of "La La Land" is on track.

"Ka, perfect, I'll take the photo here today and call it a day."

"It feels so good."

"Xiao Wang, you go back first, let's go shopping."

"It's not cold, it's very comfortable."

Evening is coming, the sky slowly turns dark, and the earth begins to fall asleep, but the city of Shanghai still shines brightly at night, and the gorgeous neon lights highlight the brilliance of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Netizens are also having heated discussions.

After Liu Yifei, who had studied in her mind, came back to her senses and saw Li Mu's irrepressible smile, she suddenly understood.

The purple top was slightly stretched out, her skin was like snow, and the blue-white short skirt wrapped her long, slender, snow-white legs, which was very charming.

"No, we will go back after shopping for a while."

"I'm so angry, don't run. Stop."

Liu Yifei opened her doubtful eyes. How could it be cold in this summer? She wished for more gusts of wind.

"The popcorn is good enough, but just watching the movie and enjoying it is enough. If you can enjoy it and leave a deep impression, it will be better."

"No, you're cold."

"I have to say that the scenes of urban explosions and autobots fighting each other stimulate a sharp surge of adrenaline in the audience. It is still worth watching, but it doesn't leave a deep impression on you."

Li Mu asked immediately.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Liu Yifei felt that Li Mu was talking about business, and she silently recalled the feeling just now, as if she really wanted to show it in the subsequent shooting.

"Director Li, do you want us?"

Paramount also did not expect it to be so popular in China, so it directly sent its senior executives to come again and express their gratitude to the cooperative movie network, movie channel, Jiafu, Huahua, etc.

"Then don't run, you're still running so fast."

"."

On July 7, Zhou Xun’s wedding ceremony was held at Huanglong Hotel.

The reason why the ceremony was arranged in Hangzhou is because it is close to Zhou Xun's hometown, making it convenient for relatives and friends to participate in the grand event.

Li Mu specially arranged for the crew to finish work early in the afternoon so that he and Liu Yifei could rush there.

At this time, Liu Yifei was already chatting with Zhou Xun backstage. The white wedding dress Zhou Xun is wearing is a custom-made wedding dress with feather and sequin embroidery customized by Chanel.

"So beautiful, Sister Xun."

Liu Yifei sighed and reached out to touch the texture.

"You will definitely be prettier than me when you get married."

Zhou Xun said with a smile, it was hard not to be happy today, "I'll have a nice meal and drink with Director Li later, don't blame me for not entertaining you well."

"Don't worry, you're welcome. By the way, Sister Xun, you're not pregnant, are you?"

In fact, the preparations for this wedding were not particularly complete. It was a sudden and impromptu idea by Zhou Xun and Gao Shengyuan.

For example, Zhou Xun notified Liu Yifei and Li Mu only two weeks in advance. This was simply lightning fast and caught many media off guard.

So it's no wonder that when Liu Yifei asked, the media also speculated whether she was pregnant and why she suddenly got married.

"Hahaha, nothing happened. In fact, not long ago, he proposed to me and I agreed. He hurriedly thought of doing it quickly. I thought it didn't matter, so..."

"Maybe this is the destined Prince Charming!"

"Thank you Sissi for your blessing!"

Zhou Xun responded happily.

As for Li Mu, although he was sitting upright, many people in the circle still came to say hello.

Many people including Han Geng, Jin Zhiwen, Li Ronghao, Li Yuchun, and Tong Dawei appeared here.

"Have you finished chatting?"

Li Mu saw Liu Yifei coming back from the backstage and asked subconsciously.

"After we finished chatting, let me tell you, Sister Xun is very beautiful today."

There was a hint of envy in Liu Yifei's words.

All women look especially beautiful on such days.

This is beyond doubt.

Li Mu held Liu Yifei's hand and said, "After the movie is finished, you will be more beautiful than anyone else."

Liu Yifei obviously knew what Li Mu meant. She smiled brightly and felt that everything around her became brighter.

After attending the wedding, Li Mu and the two rushed back to the Magic City. Fortunately, the two places were not far away, otherwise it would have been a bit tiring.

The next day, while filming, Li Mu was still giving instructions for the subsequent filming, which was the opening scene of the road group dance.

"It requires at least 30 professional dancers, plus about 120 extras. They must be trained first."

This scene had to be shot at high speed, so once or twice would be fine, but if we were not prepared for some pre-production work, it would be a big trouble if we shot it repeatedly.

"Director Li, I went to see it on site. The venue is too big and there are so many actors. How can we ensure that everyone can keep up with the music?"

Everyone also raised the problems they encountered.

"On both sides of this section of the road, within a distance of about 150 feet, there are hidden speakers installed so that photographers cannot take pictures."

Li Mu thought for a while, and now this is the only way.

"By the way, what's the temperature at the end of the month?"

"Director Li, it is expected to reach around 38-40 degrees in the afternoon."

"Remember to pay attention to the problem of heat stroke and arrange for more medical staff to follow you."

This scene was really difficult to shoot due to the crowds of people, cars, and high temperatures. Moreover, in the plan, the three shots of this scene were about 6 minutes in the movie, which means that the shooting time was not short at all.

In fact, even if Li Mu and others think carefully, there may still be shortcomings in the actual shooting. This is the uncertainty of shooting.

At this moment, news came out from the industry that Bona had recently repurchased the shares held by News Corporation.

Obviously Fatty Yu is also playing a big game.

We must know that this year, the actions of various capitals to grab this big cake have become more frequent and more subversive.

From the "diversified" development of catering and home appliance giants to the involvement of Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu, Entertainment Bao even allows ordinary people to participate in capital links that were beyond their reach in the past. With the consensus that China will become the world's largest film consumption market, channels Businessmen will undoubtedly challenge more game rules.

However, the secret key to content production is in the hands of a few people.

The movie list in the first half of 2014 is still dominated by Hollywood blockbusters. Domestic films cannot meet the growing market demand, and limited production resources are concentrated in the hands of film manufacturers with advantages in publicity and distribution and the entire industry chain.

Companies like China Film, Mengying Media, Huayi, Guangguang, and Bona hold the secret key to content production.

The thresholds for investing money and producing movies are completely different.

For example, Tencent is only one of the investors in the movie "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon: Snow Demon Spirit". Its production company Dasheng International Media has already started with "The Golden Guard" with a box office of over 2015 million. However, it will cost at least yuan to produce the blockbuster movie that will open the year of . Four to five years of growth.

Of course, the purpose of Yu Dong's repurchase goes far beyond that.

"Director Li, your vision is still accurate."

Wang Changtian said with emotion.

He has been holding meetings with senior executives recently. Combining Bona's actions and the conclusions of the current meeting, he finally pointed to the content production end.

Recently, during the period ravaged by "Transformers 4", domestic movies are indeed in a miserable state.

However, "Old Boy and the Dragon Crossing the River" directed by new director Xiao Yang was released for 4 days and achieved 1.02 million yuan, which is still very good.

Even the reputation is very controversial.

Some people think it’s bad, while others think the story of “Oldboy” is touching:
"In my opinion, it is not vulgar at all, and its plot also brings people a sense of pleasure in watching the movie. It is precisely because of such serious and hard-working professional film practitioners that our domestic films have really become better and better step by step. The better.”

But for a new director, this box office result is a good answer.

And strictly speaking, "Oldboy" is an authentic musical and dance film mixed with crime films and action films.
