China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 48
"What do you think of your movie?" A reporter from Los Angeles Entertainment News interviewed Li Mu.

"I think it's a great movie, and Will and I were stunned when we saw it, and we thought it was going to be a classic."

"Do you think "The Pursuit of Happiness" can win "The Aviator"?" asked an entertainment reporter in New York.

"'The Aviator' is a great movie, but I don't think 'The Pursuit of Happiness' is inferior to it. Of course, in the end everything is the audience's final say."

"The Aviator is a great movie with Leonardo's unparalleled acting skills, but you are nothing. There is no way you won The Aviator. You should go back to your country of China. You are not welcome here. ." A reporter next to him was sarcastic towards Li Mu.

"Let us speak with the facts!" Li Mu said directly, then turned and left.

There are many people who hate China in the beautiful country, and Li Mu has experienced a lot since he came.

This is considered mild.

"You coward," the reporter was still roaring crazily.

"Man, don't worry, you will prove it all with your strength." Will Smith quickly came over to comfort him, and wanted to say something to the reporter.

Li Mu stopped him. This was not the time to be impulsive. A conflict at this time would only give the reporters excuses and opportunities, and give him a bunch of bonuses in vain.

"Thank you, Will!" Li Mu thanked him.

The movie was shown and the entire hall instantly became dark.

On the big screen, the factory logos of Warner, Crystal Pictures, and Will Smith Company appeared.

This was also the first time that most people present saw the company logo of Crystal Pictures, a cute puppy with a bell.

With the opening credits of the Declaration of Independence, time suddenly arrived in 1981.

Chris Garner (Will Smith) is a smart salesman. He works hard, but he can't make a good life for his family.

After all, his wife Linda left Chris because she couldn't bear the pressure of raising a family, leaving him and his 5-year-old son Christopher alone.

His career failed, he was destitute, and he became a single father. Chris even had only 21 yuan left in his bank account. He and his son had to be evicted from the apartment because they had no money to pay the rent.

Struggling at the bottom, he met an opportunity that changed his life by chance and became a stockbroker.

Chris was so nervous that he was sweating on his forehead in the taxi, still frantically turning the Rubik's Cube of fate for the slightest chance.

With unremitting persistence, Chris finally got an internship opportunity at a prestigious stock investment company. However, there was no salary during the internship, and 90% of people did not succeed in the end.

But Chris understands that this is his last chance and the only way to a happy life.

With no income and no place to stay, the only thing Chris has is the unconditional trust and love of his sensible son.

They are homeless at night and sleep in shelters, subway stations, public bathrooms, and any open space where they can stay temporarily.I had no money to eat during the day, so I queued for relief and ate barely enough food to fill my stomach. "

When the guests present saw this scene, some emotional women shed tears.

As soon as the first person starts crying, the people next to him will be infected immediately, and the sad feeling starts to spread throughout the cinema like a virus.

The eternal bridge between people is the resonance of emotions.

And when happiness knocked on the door, he did it, and the father-son love in it moved everyone.

Like "Gone with the Wind", "The Blue Bridge", "Titanic", people are emotional animals, as long as you can impress them with your emotions, they will be like falling into a swamp, unable to extricate themselves!

"Living in poverty is extremely depressing, but for the sake of his son's future and his own beliefs, Chris gritted his teeth and always believed: As long as he works hard enough today, happiness will come tomorrow!"

At the end of the film, the two father and son are walking on a sunny street, looking at the city of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, and all the suffering seems to be in the past.

This film is based on the rags-to-riches story of Chris Janer, who ended up becoming a winner in life.

Based on a true story, this ending is slightly happy, but this is also the meaning of happiness.

At the end of the video, the crowd applauded loudly like thunder.

Will Smith and Li Mu hugged each other, and then hugged each other from the crew.

At this time, Richard felt relieved. If a movie with a 5000 million investment suffered a loss, he would still have to bear some responsibility. The film "The Pursuit of Happyness" was released quickly, and many film critics who attended the premiere wrote down their feelings.

"A great movie!"

"I can't describe it all in words. Everything happened just right, as if happiness was knocking on the door!"

"A baptism of the soul!"

Of course, there are also people who demean people as worthless, but Li Mu never sees this.

On December 12, "The Pursuit of Happiness" was officially released.

"The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket" was also released on the same day.

Li Mu waited anxiously, and Will Smith next to him could see Li Mu's nervousness at this time.

"Lee, don't worry, this is my best performance. I have never felt that I performed so well."

In the cinema, there are several movie posters posted at the entrances of major cinemas, one of which is for "The Pursuit of Happiness".

"Give me two tickets for "The Pursuit of Happiness," thank you."

"Give me a ticket for The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket, thank you."

"Give me two tickets to The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket"

On the first day of its premiere, the attendance rate of "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket" was obviously higher than that of "The Pursuit of Happiness."

At this time, the data of "The Aviator" also came out. "The Aviator" was released in limited theaters and earned a total of 858 US dollars in its first weekend.

The results obviously tell the guy that this is another movie that is both well-received and a box office hit.

For a time, the film was in the limelight, especially because DiCaprio also participated in the performance, which made headlines in major media.

However, on the second day, the trend changed slightly, and the attendance rate of "The Pursuit of Happiness" slowly increased a little, but it is still not obvious at present.

On the third day, the theater began to deliver tissues to viewers who came to watch "The Pursuit of Happiness."

Everyone is waiting for the first week's box office results to be released. Finally, under the much-anticipated expectations, "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket" won this week's box office championship with $30.

"The Pursuit of Happiness" grossed US$2700 million in its first week, falling to second place.

For a time, many online and mainstream media in North America began to belittle and attack "The Pursuit of Happyness" in order to attract traffic.

Many people think that Warner's choice of director Li Mu this time was the biggest mistake.

Not only will the 5000 million investment be lost, but Li Mu and Will Smith will become a joke this year.

You must know that "The Extraordinary Father Captures Mr. Huo Alive" will be released next week. This is the sequel to "Meet the Father-in-law". The previous film cost 5500 million yuan to produce and grossed 3.3 million US dollars at the box office.

This time it is even more aggressive, with a total investment of US$8000 million.

Warner is not a vegetarian, and its publicity efforts immediately overshadowed these public opinion trends.

On the other side of the Pacific in China, reporters frantically reported on Li Mu's achievement of 2700 million US dollars in the beautiful country, which is more than [-] million yuan converted into RMB.

For a moment, the circle exploded.

I saw that grand premiere on the official media and other media a while ago, which has made many people deeply envious.

There are also some people who don't like Li Mu's good deeds and slander him on the Internet.

However, the proportion of the relatively large support group for this kind of people is very small.

Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu's cover on the newspaper, laughed silly, and showed off to the people around her.

However, at this time, there were completely different reactions on the major film review websites in the United States.
