China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 49 Audience’s praise

At this time, on major movie review websites, fans who have watched "The Pursuit of Happiness" wrote down their feelings.

"It's a great movie, and believe me, if you don't get into it and watch it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

"Great fatherly love, inspiring story, I have never felt such powerful energy."

"I thought I wouldn't give a high rating to a movie like this that already knew the outcome, but in the end, I still gave it five stars. In the days to come, when I can no longer move forward and can no longer bear it, let me watch it again. See how we endure hardships, struggle tenaciously, and work hard for happiness.”

"Besides happiness, you can give up anything. Do you have to be happy? Be with the person you like and do what you like."

There are also a few negative reviews, such as:
“Inspirational ideas are actually a lie!”

However, such comments were instantly drowned in the wave of praise.

At this time, Li Mu looked at the audience's ratings. Although it was not accurate yet, it could reflect the current impression of the audience.

"The Pursuit of Happiness" has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 89%, with an average score of 8.8/10, and an 8.7 score on IMDB, with excellent reviews.

The reputation of "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket" has completely exploded.

"The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket" has a Rotten Tomatoes freshness score of 72%, with an average score of 6.3/10, and an average score of 6.8 on IMDB.

The reputation of the two films is even somewhat reversed.

Li Mu felt a lot reassured after seeing it. As long as its reputation improves, the film "The Pursuit of Happyness" will show great stamina.

The next week, another new movie was released, "The Extraordinary Father Captures Mr. Huo Alive"

Several movies compete fiercely in the Christmas season.

On December 12, "The Extraordinary Father Captures Mr. Huo Alive" won the championship with $26.

"The Pursuit of Happyness" finished second with $3700 million in its second week.

However, this completely shocked the North American audience and media, because everyone knew what this meant.

If a movie rises instead of falling in the second week, it is often considered a classic.

This is true for all past classics.

"The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket" is already in third place with a box office of 2300 million, which seems to be a normal rate of decline. However, currently, this movie is going to suffer a big loss.

Paramount and DreamWorks invested US$1.42 million. If this momentum continues, North American box office losses will become a reality.

For a time, the reporters who were just on the wall began to turn their guns and pointed at "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket".

""The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket" may be at the bottom of the Christmas schedule"

"North American audiences did not buy "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snicket" and said it was insincere."

"Paramount and DreamWorks will lose, and Warner, Will Smith and Li Mu may become the biggest winners."

"China Li brings new classic "The Pursuit of Happyness""

Li Mu came back under their pen.

At this time, reporters in China were frantically writing reports.

Reversing a trend, Li Mu's movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" surpassed the box office in its first week.

Both the beautiful country and China know what this means.

A new classic movie was born.

For a time, even ordinary people knew about this and asked the General Administration to introduce it quickly.

Comments from viewers in North America also began to spread to China through the transfer of some netizens.

Liu Yifei looked at the praises in the newspaper and was so happy that she even worked hard in her acting.

"This guy has created another classic," Lao Mouzi murmured, looking at the crew of "Riding Alone, Thousands of Miles" in front of him, he felt a little more energetic.

Brother Chen Kai is working on the post-production of "The Promise", and there is a newspaper with the cover of Li Mu's movie on the table next to him.

"Brother, look." Wang Zhonglei walked in holding the newspaper.

"Yes." Wang Zhongjun put the index finger of his right hand against his forehead and shook it slightly.

Wang Jinghua's matter has given him a headache.

"We basically understand the matter with Li Mu. Tit for tat. Don't mess with him no matter what. It's better to dissolve enemies than to end them."

"By the way, the invitations to the celebration party of "A World Without Thieves" have been sent out. Whether you come or not is one thing."

"Okay, where's Wang Jinghua?"

"You talk to artists more recently." "Tell me, why are you a director from the acting department and not from our directing department?" the leader on stage asked frantically.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was in the audience, listening a little speechlessly, thinking to himself.

You were still happy when Lu Chuan won the Golden Horse Award, and you also said that the directing department did a good job and taught good directors.

Now he has changed his face. This man is so fickle.
During the schedule, two movies are indistinguishable. "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "The Extraordinary Father Captures Mr. Huo Alive" both show strong stamina.

And "The Aviator" is also chasing after it and has already begun to be released in the United States.

Let the North American audience enjoy it.

Fans are complaining in the comments section every day.

The nominations for this year's Golden Globe Awards have been announced on December 12. "The Pursuit of Happiness" will not be released within the deadline and is not within the voting deadline.

It's a bit regretful, after all, the Golden Globes are considered the weathervane of the Oscars.

"The Aviator" is the biggest winner at the Golden Globe Awards, with 6 nominations, and Li Mu is expected to win at least 3 awards.

David is also on the rocket at this time. As one of the most influential people in Crystal Pictures, he has recently become a guest of some small and medium-sized companies due to the popularity of "The Pursuit of Happyness".

Warner's rating for Li Mu has risen a lot again. After all, there are not many directors who can make money, and even fewer directors who can make money consistently.

What's more, this director still has great treasures waiting to be discovered.

Domestically, Xingye came with "Kung Fu", which set a new first-week record in mainland film history with 6400 million yuan.

The entire entertainment industry was shocked for a while.

This is also the first time Stephen Chow has broken the mainland first-week record, and the most explosive movie has changed hands again.

Reporters frantically reported:

"Chinese kung fu movies are on the rise again!"

The news about Li Mu in North America has been covered up.

People in the industry have gradually discovered that the movie box office in the inland market is different from a few years ago. It has been developing and making breakthroughs at a rapid pace every year in the past few years.

"The Pursuit of Happiness" still hovered at more than 3600 million in its third week, still ranking second.

"The Extraordinary Father Captures Mr. Huo Alive" won the championship with more than 4200 million yuan, a normal decrease.

At this time, the banner at the entrance of Nortel has been changed.

Li Mu's "The Pursuit of Happiness" has a box office of over [-] million US dollars.

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were also a little emotional when they saw this scene.

No one expected that such a big shot would appear in their dormitory. This was really great luck.

Being roommates with Li Mu will eventually bring a lot of convenience.

Whether it comes from Li Mu himself or from some people in the circle.

Most of the time, people in the circle don’t look at the monk’s face but also the Buddha’s face. This is the most realistic thing.

With Li Mu here, their journey to stardom will eventually be smoother than that of ordinary people.

What's more, Li Mu has never been the kind of person who doesn't miss the past, just look at his attitude towards Nortel.

Outsiders say that Nortel is Li Mu's back garden, and those who say this are somewhat jealous.

In the 02-level QQ group, everyone talks to each other about movies and TV series.

"The Pursuit of Happyness" and "Kung Fu" were the most discussed, and the words Li Mu, A Mu and Brother Mu appeared most frequently in the group.

Jiang Yiyan felt a little uncomfortable. Although the director next to her had helped her a lot and had promised her, there was still not much news.

Not to mention that compared to Li Mu, it was a world away.

Everyone in the class knew that after Zhou Yang starred in two movies as Li Mu, he received constant announcements and various film appointments.

As for Liu Yifei, they have no other emotions except envy, jealousy and hatred.

Everyone knew in their hearts that there was no way to compare. Comparing would only make themselves more uncomfortable and would not help.

While everyone was still feeling emotional, Li Mu was making crazy appearances at major parties.

No way, it was him, Will Smith and Warner who held the party.
