Chapter 472: Gossip? (Update today, I stayed up all night, I can’t bear it)
Jiang Wen is still looking for his last hope.

Although Li Mu felt that there was no chance, he still had to work hard in case he succeeded.

At the same time, as the school bell rang, the total domestic box office data was released. It took 8 months to exceed 200 billion, completing a feat that took more than 2013 months to complete in 11.

Coupled with the unprecedented intensity of blockbusters in the remaining four months, 4 is expected to enter the era of annual box office of 2014 billion.

It is worth noting that in the summer season alone, the total domestic box office revenue was close to 87 billion, a year-on-year increase of 48%.

However, movie box office is not directly related to quality. Especially in the chaotic situation of summer movies where everyone is competing for the top spot, quality is not as good as "customized".

While Li Mu was asking David to communicate with Tyson, the crew of "Ip Man 3" has entered the formal preparation stage before shooting.

As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world, let alone within the circle, the news naturally spread like wildfire.

"According to relevant sources, the third part of the kung fu series "Ip Man" jointly produced by Mengying Media, Emperor, and China Film has launched its third installment and is expected to start filming at the end of this year or early next year."

However, the news of inviting Tyson to join has not yet been known to the media, otherwise it will be bombarded again. After all, the media loves to make stunts.

Regarding the choice of Ip Man, everyone in the circle is really talking about it.

It's just the right schedule, the right subject matter, and the bombardment of publicity, and the results come out.

Because the filming contract for "Ip Man 3" has not been sent yet.

"Do you know who took the role of Ip Man?"

Since I haven't made this series for a few years, I have made one bad movie after another in these years. Although "Havoc in Heaven" has a box office of more than 10 billion, it cannot be concealed that it is a bad movie.

Just by relying on "Ip Man", his salary has skyrocketed.

"One Man's Martial Arts" will premiere at the London Film Festival in the middle of the month, which can be regarded as an opportunity to promote itself. After all, the world still highly recognizes Chinese kung fu.

At this time, Donnie Yen, who was promoting the recent Kung Fu film "One Man's Martial Arts", also learned about this and looked a little ugly.

"Still waiting for news, it's not clear yet. Zidan, you still need to focus on "One Man's Martial Arts" now."

How could such a shrewd company like Weinstein only look at this, which led to its offer of 3000 million plus additional conditions to star in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2", which was directly rejected by the other party and asked to reduce the salary.

The agent advised that what happened back then has basically settled down.

"That's why I need "Ip Man" more. If there is "Ip Man", can Weinstein lower my salary?"

The memories of a few years ago have not faded away. Now that "Ip Man 3" is launched, many people are waiting with interest to see whether Donnie Yen can play Ip Man.

Donnie Yen still has some hope, but he also has some guesses at this moment. After all, there are not many people who can play this role.

The film contract has actually been sent out.

Moreover, with the help of Weinstein, his starring films "The Guardian" and "Special Identity" will soon be released in North America.

"Help me ask people in the industry who got this role. If you haven't chosen it yet, I still want to fight for it."

Zhen Zidan asked his agent.

I thought that after a few years, the events of that year had disappeared. Maybe he would still have a chance in "Ip Man 3", but seeing that the media was already leaking information, there was no news about him yet.

Not to mention Li Mu's support, his dream of becoming an international kung fu superstar was only possible.

Zhen Zidan was very helpless and regretted that he had been too hasty.

At this time, Zhao Wenzhuo was at home.

His wife Zhang Danlu seemed very surprised.

"A blessing in disguise?"

It is inevitable that Zhang Danlu would think this way, because after all, without the controversy of the century, how could this "Ip Man 3" film contract appear here.

"This favor is too great."

Zhao Wenzhuo is also full of surprises. After playing the supporting role in "The White-Haired Witch", he has almost no film appointments in the near future, because there are not many kung fu movies, and there are even fewer that suit him.

Without the resources in Hong Kong, coupled with his dull personality, he is getting worse and worse. As a result, he has recently been checking with his contacts to see if there are any jobs in TV dramas.

Unexpectedly, joy fell from the sky.

"Then you should act well. Your kung fu is no worse than that of Donnie Yen. You can do anything she can do."

Zhang Danlu encouraged, then thought of something and said quickly, "By the way, you have to thank Director Li for speaking up back then and now giving you the role."

"Yes, yes."

Zhao Wenzhuo hurriedly picked up the phone.

"Director Li, your phone number."

Seeing that the shot had been taken, the assistant quickly handed the phone to Li Mu.

"Thank you."

Li Mu took it smoothly, looked at the caller, and couldn't help but smile.

Liu Yifei on the side saw her like this and didn't ask. Anyway, Li Mu would tell her what she needed to say later.

Sure enough, two minutes later, after Li Mu hung up the phone, he said slowly: "This is Zhao Wenzhuo's phone number."

"???" Liu Yifei reacted instantly, "You just asked him to shoot "Ip Man 3"."

The last time the two of them traveled to Canada, they talked about this movie. At that time, Li Mu only gave the answer "Tyson".

"Yes." Li Mu nodded slightly. This matter was just a small matter to him and he didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, "La La Land" made him more concerned.

"Let's continue with the next scene, Huang Bo seems to be coming soon." Li Mu calculated the time, and the current progress is just right.

Recently, the "Ice Bucket Challenge" has become more and more popular. Almost half of the circle has been challenged. In the end, Shu Chang took over and chose Liu Yifei, and it was back again.

"Who should I choose?"

Liu Yifei happily asked Li Mu to bring ice water and asked him to help with the filming.

"Whatever."

Li Mu smiled, raised his phone and started taking pictures.

Liu Yifei still has the energy of a tomboy. She falls neatly and neatly without feeling unladylike at all.

In this way, this challenge has begun to enter its climax.

At this time, there were frequent gossips in the industry, and someone even revealed that Zhao Wenzhuo had accepted "Ip Man 3".

The mainland industry seems to be looking at the joke in the Hong Kong industry. After all, this selection seems to be a bit of a slap in the face.

After all, it was okay for Li Mu to speak back then, but now he has even given the role.

But there is nothing the Hong Kong community can do. Not to mention that the current few people who are talking about the matter are not on their own side. Li Mu and the others alone cannot move.

It’s different in the past.

I can only say some gossip in secret.

Han Sanping, who is retired at home, has also heard some rumors recently, and he feels that Li Mu is too targeted at the Hong Kong circle.

"I don't understand. He is also the main investor in senior brother's movies. Whoever is given a role gets it, and he can still have opinions."

Han Jia'v heard Han Sanping's muttering, and seemed to say disdainfully, "Do you still think that since the first two films used Hong Kong scenes, they must continue to use them?"

These people are all out of date, and it’s still unclear what direction the current trend is in the industry.

"A group of paper tigers can only bark twice."

Han Sanjing also sneered.

Naturally, some rumors reached Li Mu's ears.

However, Li Mu didn't even bother to pay attention. He is a die-hard Hong Kong film and television person, and he is still addicted to the fantasy of Eastern Hollywood.

At this time, Zhen Zidan was still trying his best to win over Huo Wenxi.

"Sister Huo, after so many years, I think..."

Zhen Zi was interrupted by Huo Wenxi midway through his words, "Zidan, I already said some things back then. And not only the industry has memory, but the Internet also has memory."

"."

The silence between the two seemed to be finally ended by a beeping hang-up sound.

The next day, Mengying Media issued an article announcing the candidates for "Ip Man 3". There was no change at all, just as the rumors said.

This move is equivalent to showing off.

Many people applauded secretly, and the undercurrent didn't seem to surge. It just flowed calmly.

The Venice Film Festival, which has lasted for nearly two weeks, finally came to an end on the evening of September 9, local time in Italy.

This year's Venice shows are full of heavy flavors, sometimes mixed with cold jokes and floating world stories. The audience is daydreaming about the world, hell and heaven.

There are many masterpieces in these films, but there are also some mediocre and boring selections of acceptable quality, which retain the face of Venice's old aristocracy.

However, what is a little surprising is that the Chinese-language competition film "The Intruder", which had previously received unanimous praise from the media and audiences, unexpectedly missed out on the award.

The final three awards were all awarded to masterpieces. Swedish director Roy Anderson won the Golden Lion for Best Film for "The Quiet Birds," but this still could not make up for the weakness of Venice as a whole.

"I'm going to Toronto"

For example, Ning Hao chose to participate in the Toronto Film Festival to promote "Blooming Heart" instead of Venice because the commercial market was so poor.

Copyright owners are still vacationing on yachts in August and September, and no one would choose to come to Venice at this time.
Poor Venice lost its time in this way.

"Okay, Huang Bo doesn't need to go, right?"

Li Mu asked, Ning Hao planned to bring the entire crew over for publicity.

"Don't worry, I know he has a role with you, so you'll keep him here."

Ning Hao said with a smile.

"Okay, great sales overseas."

Li Mu congratulated, and Li Mu didn’t know whether this comedy with domestic characteristics would be popular overseas.

And the main reason is that Ning Hao’s overseas influence is not enough. Whether it can attract a large number of media and film producers to watch it is another question.

"Guys, let's get to work. We'll have a day off for the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow."

Seeing that his rest was almost over, Li Mu stood up, clapped his hands and shouted.

Since the filming of the road group dance was completed, the remaining parts basically had no glitches, and the shooting plan was successfully completed, leaving only the finishing part.

There is no problem in giving everyone a holiday, but it is still unrealistic to want three days off. After all, there is still a big gap between filming and normal work.

Suddenly everyone was energetic and worked hard to have a holiday.
