Chapter 47 Departure and Premiere
Li Mu and Liu Yifei spent the entire afternoon bickering, but the matter passed like this.

In the evening, Producer Zhang invited Li Mu to have a casual dinner, and Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli naturally followed.

Li Mu also invited Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming was a little surprised. Li Mu and Huayi Brothers had some grudges, which everyone in the circle knew.

Li Mu rarely treats artists from Huayi, and everyone knows this.

I originally thought that the meeting in the afternoon was already the limit, but I didn’t expect that we could have a meal together.

This surprised Huang Xiaoming. Being able to have dinner with Li Mu was either the person in charge of a major company or a big director, and the rest were just friends in his circle.

Li Mu doesn't have many actor friends in his circle, and he can count them all.

Zhang Da Producer specially found a local and a place specializing in local dishes.

Unlike the hotels and restaurants in high-rise buildings in previous lives, this one has a rather farmhouse feel.

Li Mu liked to eat at these places in his previous life, and he will enjoy this one in this life.

There are a lot of dishes to order. In Du Xinglin’s words, I just don’t know your taste, so I ordered some to hide the freshness.

When he said this, he expressed respect for Li Mu and ignored the notion of extravagance and waste.

As for the fresh food, don’t order more.

Li Mu still knew about this woman Du Xinglin. She came to power later and had quite some tricks.

On a cold day, I served some wine to warm my stomach.

Huang Xiaoming poured it for everyone first, and then for himself. Everyone took turns to toast.

Li Mu, producer Zhang Da, and Yu Min were chatting about the TV series. When it came to copyright, Zhang Jizong looked disappointed.

Copyright fees have not been high in recent years, and Zhang Jizong has not made much money.

Speaking of copyright, Li Mu has been asking Mengying's department to purchase the rights to the TV series.

The TV drama copyrights will see a staggering increase in the next ten years, and for some reasons, Li Mu certainly has to start early.

When everyone reacts and comes to share the pie, Li Mu does not have that much capital to compete with these Internet giants.

If you wait any longer, you won't be able to drink the soup dregs by then.

Internet capitalists spend money as if they are playing a numbers game.

No wonder I have said that I am not interested in money. It is also true that it does not seem to make sense to throw away billions of dollars by playing with subsidies and grabbing market share.

Because the other party also threw it.

The seven of us ate and had a great time. Huang Xiaoming really knew how to behave and made everyone feel comfortable.

Everyone dispersed after dinner, and they had to continue filming tomorrow.

After dinner, Li Mu and Liu Yifei took a walk and chatted here.

As the two were walking, Liu Yifei suddenly asked softly, hiding the blush on her face in the night.

"Amu, what kind of girl do you like?"

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly felt a little ambiguous, and Li Mu was also suddenly stunned. This little girl didn't play according to the routine.

Li Mu looked at the girl next to him. She was still walking forward, and her words seemed to be inadvertently asking.

"You can't see your toes when you lower your head, so you can show your beauty!" Li Mu paused and said.

"Huh?" Liu Yifei stopped, her little head unable to react for a moment.

Then he looked at his toes, which were clearly visible to the naked eye.

"Oh." Liu Yifei replied feebly, unable to hide her disappointed expression, but her eyes were wide open, staring at Li Mu with an unhappy look on her face.

People will definitely grow up, huh, dogs look down on people, Liu Yifei muttered to herself.

30 years. Not just three years.

Three years in Hedong and three years in Hexi. Don’t bully young girls into poverty.

Li Mu looked at her like this and wanted to laugh.

Don't worry, you can look at these toes for a lifetime. Unless you master technology and work hard, there will be little use in trying hard.

Early the next morning, I visited the set and experienced the difficult shooting environment.

I have to say, this scenery does look refreshing.

Xiao Longnu is dressed in white. This outfit is indeed beautiful.

He came and looked, and it turned out that Li Mu was not completely fine. He said hello and went back.

Back at school, Zhu Yawen asked:

"How about it, are you okay?"

"It's nothing."

Sure enough, there is no airtight wall in the circle. More or less, everyone has some news.It's December, and Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers" will be released in North America.

North America is about to usher in "Zhang Ziyi fever". Of course, it's not that she is very famous, but that she has caught the attention of Hollywood, and some people are beginning to know about this character.

Hoh Xil won the Best Feature Film and Best Cinematography, and it’s all about success, Brother Lu.

Andy won the Golden Horse Best Actor for "Infernal Affairs 3: The Ultimate", which is really gratifying.

Li Mu sent a message to congratulate him.

Feng Da Pao's "A World Without Thieves" has also been released. It has been very popular recently, although it will soon be smashed by Xing Ye's "Kung Fu".

However, members of the Mainland’s billion-dollar box office club are about to join.

Li Mu made a special trip to China Film Academy to ask Mr. Han to help join the team.

If you don't jump in line, you have to wait for a year.

By that time, pirated CDs were everywhere, and unknown subtitle groups were arranged to have them translated into Chinese.

All said and done, the fastest date could only be June 2005, 6. After all, the superiors knew that this was filmed by their own directors, so they gave it some convenience.

Li Mu also knew that this was probably the limit. He defeated Germany's "Ultimate Challenge" and that was it.

Li Mu is now rushing to the beautiful country to participate in the promotion and subsequent premiere of "The Pursuit of Happiness".

Li Mu and Will Smith have recently been interviewed by ABC, NBC and other TV stations, and Warner has done a good job in this regard.

More and more people are paying attention to "The Pursuit of Happiness".

The expectation index for the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" is much higher, and of course it is mainly due to Will Smith's popularity.

However, many moviegoers and film critics are no longer optimistic about "The Pursuit of Happyness."

After all, it is competing against "The Unforgettable", "The Aviator" and "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket".

For them, although these films have not yet been released, the results have already been achieved.

Obviously the expectations of audiences and film critics for Li Mu's "The Pursuit of Happiness" are still lower than other films of the same period. If it weren't for Will Smith and Warner and the 5000 million production cost, he would probably not be mentioned.

Li Mu also rarely set a model worker, working hard every day without complaining.

During this busy time, I learned some interesting news. Spielberg burst into tears while watching "House of Flying Daggers" in the cinema.

Li Mu had no choice but to quickly share the news with Lao Mouzi. After hearing this, Lao Mouzi couldn't laugh or cry.

However, with such a performance from a top director, it can be seen that Lao Mouzi still managed to make them cry.

The time has come to December 12th, and "The Dark Side 10: The Long Drive" was released first.

On December 12, the North American box office grossed $12 million in its first week, winning this week’s championship.

However, to the disappointment of movie fans and critics, the film has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 56% and an average score of 5.9/10. It scored 58 points on Metacritic and 6.4 points on IMDB, with average reviews.

The reputation has dropped a lot compared to the previous episode.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Li Mu couldn't remember the specifics of this film. He only knew that it won the championship in the first week.

The next one is "The Aviator", which was released in New York on December 2004, 12, but not in the United States.

It was only released for a few days and received rave reviews.

The Rotten Tomatoes score is 87%, with an average score of 7.8/10.It has a score of 77 on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews."

In this movie, DiCaprio gave a palace-level performance, as crazy as he is fragile.

Immediately following are two films released on the 17th, namely "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket".

On the 16th, the premiere of "The Pursuit of Happiness" was held.

On the day of the premiere, Warner convened many well-known Hollywood superstars to come to support the film, as well as celebrities from the business world, politics, and various industries.

I have to say, this scene is indeed magnificent.

Charlize Theron, Megan Fox, Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise, Robert De Niro.
Li Mu had to nod his head whenever he met, all to support himself.

Of course, Li Mu is not so proud yet, Warner and Will Smith supported it.

Of course, DiCaprio will not be there, he is still in New York at this time.

Several of our own media came to the premiere, and the Sixth Princess also sent people over.

It was also quite shocking to see such a star-studded premiere.

These domestic reporters looked at Li Mu in front of them with emotion.

This 20-year-old boy has already achieved such fame in Hollywood.

Others may not be able to catch up with this person in their lifetime.

Li Mu naturally gave some preferential treatment to his own media.

He answered all questions and even caught Will Smith to answer a few questions.

However, foreign media are not so easy to deal with.
