Chapter 491 Spring is full of joy (Today’s update! I’m stuck)
James Wiley also played the emotional and profit cards for Li Mu.

However, he also knew that the profit card was the least attractive to Li Mu. After all, Crystal Pictures' profits were well known in the industry.

Maybe the temptation is not as good as a good script.

"Ready Player One, James, to be honest, I'm not very interested in it."

Li Mu said calmly.

These words made James Wiley very entangled. There were very few big directors who could take on this script. To be honest, Li Mu and Nolan didn't take it, and he couldn't think of a good candidate for the time being.

"plum"

James Wiley wanted to continue persuading him.

"I know it's not a matter of money or script. The main thing is that I also plan to shoot a science fiction film in the next few years, so I may not have that much energy."

Li Mu said helplessly that it was not that he was not interested in the script at all, but there was still a lot to do next. Just the science fiction film to be shot later would take a long time to prepare.

Liu Yifei turned her head, a little confused.

Under such circumstances, the next episode is basically doomed to be a crushing defeat and there is no way to turn the tide.

Li Mu glanced at the TV series Liu Yifei was watching. It was an urban emotional drama, not very sophisticated, but suddenly he remembered something, leaned over and said in Liu Yifei's ear:

Recently, due to the failure of "Peace Wheel", the Lunar New Year season has been somewhat sluggish and has not yet entered its climax.

Li Mu glanced at him in surprise, "Okay, I still remember."

"Oh, you said this, you don't expect it."

"What to expect?"

John Woo's 5 million yuan investment went against the film industry's painstaking effort to launch it five years later. An expected "blockbuster" blockbuster only earned about 4 million at the box office within 6 days of its release, which really shocked the industry.

"Aren't you looking forward to it?"

On the other hand, the youth film "The Year in a Hurry" directed by Zhang Yibai exceeded the 2 million figure within two days of its premiere.

Even if the filming is not started immediately, the preparation period is there, and there may not be time to go to Hollywood to take on such a movie.

Last year at this time, the box office was already booming.

"Sissi, do you know how Jin Yong described the Little Dragon Girl?"

Li Mu nodded.

Li Mu asked while watching.

This is also an interesting arrangement.

"."

In the evening, Li Mu specially tuned the TV station to Mango Channel.

Not only that, "Tai Ping Wheel" does not have the upper hand in terms of reputation at all, and the audience score is even a little lower than "The Year in a Hurry".

The next day, there was still no news about the premiere of "One Step Away", and it seemed to have disappeared. If it weren't for the marketing, I would have thought it would be cancelled.

"Let's do this. I'll think about it again. I'll think about "Player One" again."

"Uh, let me think about it." Liu Yifei paused, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Jin Yong probably wrote it like this. The girl was wearing a thin white cloth, as if she was in smoke and fog. Her whole body was white. , The face is beautiful and exquisite.”

"OK, I hope I can wait for your good news."

"Humph!!!"

James Weary also knew that it was unlikely that Li Mu would agree immediately. Anyway, the project cycle was very long and he was not in a hurry.

Liu Yifei raised her proud neck, as if waiting for praise.

Liu Yifei couldn't help snorting coldly when she saw her fiancé's teasing intentions, but she still leaned in his arms and watched the new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" together.

Different from previous TV series versions, the cute little dragon girl from childhood appears early.

"of course."

Li Mu did not completely refuse.

"Ok."

"You don't expect xiaolongbao that's bigger than yours."

Liu Yifei still couldn't understand what Li Mu said.

"Warner wants you to make a science fiction film?"

Li Mu sneered and shook his head. Liu Yifei's eyes couldn't help but become a little dangerous, "I'll bite you to death for always calling me a Xiao Long Bao."

You must know that for this investment, the total box office needs to exceed 11 billion to make back the investment, and the box office of the previous episode was difficult to exceed 2 million.

"Hmm! It can't be considered a pure science fiction film, at least not in my opinion."

"The new version of Little Dragon Girl, isn't "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" going to be released tomorrow?"

Liu Yifei didn't ask any questions and continued to watch the show while chewing her apple.

Liu Yifei was lying on the pillow on the sofa, holding a peeled apple in one hand and said casually.

"Don't bite your arm, it hurts."

It's just that Li Mu seemed to stop abruptly after he finished speaking. Liu Yifei, who didn't wait for the compliment, was so angry that she kept crawling back and forth in Li Mu's arms.

Li Mu also deliberately didn't say anything, and the two of them just watched the show and made a fuss.

But the cuteness is just the beginning, and things get a bit more joyful later on.

With his "baozi face" and "Nezha head" appearance, as well as sitting on Yang Guo's lap and laughing, Lei made two people cry when he thought of his lines 600 times a day.

However, although there are constant small flaws, it is not thunderous yet, and Liu Yifei is still watching patiently.

Until Michelle Chen's version of Little Dragon Girl flew out of the ancient tomb at the last moment, Li couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

As soon as the little dragon girl appeared, Zhen Zhibing sighed without conscience: "There is such a stunningly beautiful woman in the world."

On the other side, Chen Yanxi held two jujubes in her mouth, spoke in a rough voice, and looked cold and indifferent.

"Hahahaha, no, I'm laughing so hard, she must be a village girl, a 'little peasant girl'!"

Li Mu pointed at Chen Yanxi's appearance. She was standing outside the ancient tomb with two jujubes in her mouth. She looked like she had just returned from farming. How could she be so beautiful?
"Don't say that about people."

Liu Yifei couldn't hold back her smile, but she still patted Li Mu.
At the same time, there was also a climax of complaints on the Internet, ushering in waves of carnival-like excitement.

"After watching almost one episode of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, my family member said, 'Don't take it too seriously, just take it as a joke, okay?'" "Isn't the feature of this version that the supporting characters are prettier than Xiao Longnu?"

"."

The eight-day Beijing Film Academy's Third Student Director Award "Grass and Flowers" series of screenings is coming to an end.

As the leader of the judging panel for outstanding graduates in the directing department, Li Mu naturally has to spend some time watching and reviewing the works.

On the night of the award ceremony, many media also came to watch the ceremony at the invitation of Nortel.

Xie Fei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zheng Dongtian, Li Shaohong, Zhang Huijun, and Li Mu all appeared.

"Nortel's director department is full of talented people, and they all invited Li Mu."

Some media reporters muttered while filming.

"Otherwise, why would there be so many talented directors?"

"."

The students at the scene were even more enthusiastic, and Li Mu's name was shouted the most.

"You are still very popular in school! Come back more often and see that all the junior students are thinking about you."

Zhang Huijun turned around and said to Li Mu with a smile.

"Understood! Understood! Don't worry, I will definitely come to Zhang Yuan's office often to chat in the future."

"you boy"

Zhang Huijun couldn't help laughing.

The Director Award Ceremony must be grand. After all, the directing department of the university ranks first in the country, and it is basically ranked among the top ten in the world.

In recent years, because of Li Mu, he has broken into the top five every year.

Li Mu and others have basically finished judging the awards.

He is only responsible for awarding the Student Director Award "Special Jury Gold Award", which was won by Zeng's "Ming Yue's Summer Diary".

The film is rather strange, and Li Mu was attracted by it at the first sight.

Through the diary of a little girl, she narrated her shameful and painful growth experience during the summer vacation. The unique female perspective, the expression technique full of poetic metaphors, and the mature and smooth narrative were unanimously praised by Li Mu and the other judges.

On the podium, Zeng Xian was very excited.

"Well, senior brother, can I give you a hug?"

Zeng Xian held the trophy given to her by Li Muchi and made a request.

The scene suddenly burst into cheers.

"I'm not afraid that Senior Sister Liu Yifei will be jealous. I really am not afraid."

As Li Mu said this, he backed away, causing the whole audience to burst into laughter.

Of course, Li Mu still gave him a ceremonial hug. It looked like this school girl was more like his fan than a director.

At the end of the award ceremony, Li Mu made an emotional conclusion comparing the joint assignment of directing students with ordinary micro-films.

"To use an inappropriate analogy, ordinary micro-films are like group text messages, while our professional films are like love letters written on paper with a pen and your own body temperature.

Our works do not express opinions, because life is complicated and the world is ambiguous, but it naturally contains the author's attitude; we are not in a hurry, we need craftsmanship, because in addition to the story itself, movies also include the craft of telling stories. .

The above is why we want to be directors, and why audiences really love movies. "

After the award ceremony, Li Mu said hello to Tian Zhuangzhuang and others and went home.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Liu Yifei was already leaning on the door, helping Li Mu take off his coat, and teased with a smile:
"How's it going? Does Junior Sister's embrace smell good?"

"Are you jealous too?"

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and didn't care at all. Liu Yifei was not jealous at all, which he could still tell.

"Hey, I'm kidding you, I'm not that stingy."

Liu Yifei jumped slightly and jumped on Li Mu's back.

"Carry me, I'm going to take a shower."

Li Mu threw it up slightly, held his buttocks with both hands, and subconsciously grabbed it.

The soft feel made Li Mu feel a little happy, and he repeated it a few more times.

"Be serious."

Liu Yifei's face turned red with embarrassment, and she couldn't help but patted Li Mu on the back with her little hand.

"Okay, okay, but having said that, it's time for you to lose weight. I feel like I can't carry it anymore."

Li Mu took two steps and pretended to be out of breath.

"Nonsense, I just weighed myself today and there's nothing there."

Liu Yifei immediately became unhappy. It's okay to say she's lazy, but she can't say she's fat.

"is it?"

Li Mu suddenly forgot that Liu Yifei had to weigh herself every morning when she got up, and she had to weigh herself every night when she went to bed.

Once today's weight exceeds yesterday's, I will scream.

"Hmph! I'll weigh it for you later."

Liu Yifei was very unconvinced.

"I don't think I need to weigh myself. I need to exercise more to lose weight."

"What kind of luck!"

Before Liu Yifei finished speaking, Li Mu gently threw Liu Yifei on the bed with a smile on his face, "Guess!!!"

"I still need to take a shower."

"What are you washing? It's a waste of water. Let's wash it together later!"
