Chapter 537 Shameless

The overseas box office of "Jurassic World" is even more popular.

The overseas premiere box office is expected to reach 3.072 million US dollars, directly pushing the global box office to 5 million US dollars, making it the first film in film history to reach 5 million box office within one week of release.

Dinosaur craze has swept the world, just like "Jurassic Park" back then, but now countless movie fans have a little more emotion.

Li Mu also took the male and female protagonists to promote in New York, and the vehicles passed by Times Square.

A promotional video for "Jurassic World" is playing on the big screen in the square.

Under the screen, some passers-by were walking in a hurry, and many stopped to watch, all kinds of things.

Chris Pratt looked at various "Jurassic World" posters and promotional videos nearby and said with some excitement:

"Li, can we make history?"

Not only Chris Pratt couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, but as the heroine of the film, Bryce Dallas Howard was also overjoyed.

Jurassic has already exceeded US$5 million in its first week, and is on its way to making film history.

"There's a chance, but not big."

Li Mu said with a smile, "We will have a strong opponent next week."

He also wants to reach the top, but the top is not that easy to climb. He has not broken the record of "2012" back then, not to mention that there is "Avatar" on it now. If the box office of the "Titanic" re-release is added, it will still be the same now. Jumped over "2012".

Next week, "Jurassic World" will face a head-on attack from Pixar's animated masterpiece "Inside Out" after a two-year absence.

Although he is not afraid, he will eventually take away some box office.

"By the way, Chris, should you treat me to a big dinner? You are now one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, and people are coming to you to film movies one after another. How about it? I was right."

Li Mu thought of the cake he drew for Chris Pratt before and smiled.

"Li, I always believed in you back then."

Chris Pratt feels that being chosen to be the male protagonist of "Jurassic World" is a rocket jump in his acting career.

You know, "Guardians of the Galaxy" hadn't even been released yet.

"Of course, you and Bryce Dallas Howard pick a place and you have to celebrate with champagne."

Chris Pratt said without hesitation that he has become one of the hottest actors in Hollywood, and his position among the new generation of actors is unbreakable.

Who has allowed him to have two box office hits? Movie fans and production companies have somewhat recognized his box office appeal.

"Okay, then we'll choose a location after the promotion."

Li Mu was not polite either. They had a good relationship in private.

"Li, will you continue to direct the sequels?"

Bryce Dallas Howard looked at Li Mu with expectant eyes. Now "Jurassic World" is certain to break $10 billion. As for how much it can reach, everyone can only guess.

Some forecast companies say it will exceed 15 billion and have the opportunity to reach 20 billion. This is generally the case at present.

And since "Jurassic World" itself is the first movie born for the series, and it is not only doing well at the box office, but also has a good reputation, the sequel is inevitable.

But it is difficult to determine the director who directed it.

Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt both know that directors like Li Mu may not be willing to direct sequels. For them, it means more to innovate or make movies they like.

The two of them only had a glimmer of expectation.

"sequel?"

Li Mu shook his head, "I will only shoot this one for Jurassic World. Of course, Universal will still ask for some of my ideas for the sequel, and I will suggest using the original cast."

"plum"

Both of them were a little moved. After all, there is no doubt that the sequel is an excellent resource for the two of them today.

There are not a few popular Hollywood actors who are eyeing this big commercial production.

"Haha, you don't need to thank me, I just suggested it, and based on what I know about Universal, they probably want to make the "Fast and Furious" series. Even if I don't say it, you guys should all star in the sequels."

Li Mu waved his hand and said with an indifferent expression.

"Li, no, no, no, to thank you, I decided to participate in the movie you shot."

Chris Pratt then said seriously.

"Go away, I can hear your calculations from ten miles away."

Li Mu laughed and cursed.

The atmosphere in the car was very harmonious, and laughter occasionally sounded.
For the promotion of "Jurassic World", Li Mu ran as hard as he could. After all, there was investment in it. Running more times would also earn more for himself.

Next, the record-breaking pace of "Jurassic World" is unstoppable by humans.

The film broke all North American box office records for cumulative three to ten days.

The second week of "Jurassic World" was still strong, with a box office of about US$1.1 million the following weekend, surpassing the highest weekend box office in film history (US$1.03 million) held by "Avengers".

As for the North American challenger "Inside Out", which was aggressively attacking "Jurassic World", it undoubtedly lost its first battle, but still achieved gratifying results of about US$9100 million.

It took in US$2 billion within two weeks of its global debut.

At the celebration banquet, Adam Ferguson and Spielberg drank several glasses of red wine with Li Mu.

While everyone is happy, Adam Ferguson has already made up his mind about the second part.

"Li, are you interested in directing the second film? This will definitely be another $10 billion masterpiece."

Adam Ferguson has already spoken very boldly. With the solid foundation laid by the first film, the box office prospects of the sequel of "Jurassic World" are bright.

He is extremely lucky that he insisted on inviting Li Mu to direct. This was a wise decision. Although Universal also paid some share, which is worth a lot of money, the rewards are huge. Li Mu picked up the red wine glass and clinked it with Adam Ferguson and Spielberg.

"I'm not very interested in directing the second one."

Li Mu didn't mince words. He really didn't have much interest in the subsequent filming.

"pity!"

Adam Ferguson felt a little regretful, but he could accept it. Anyway, his original idea was to let Li Mu create a series.

It is the most difficult to start a series, but it is much easier for those who take over later, because the big world view and structure have been established.

"Li, do you have any new ideas?"

Spielberg probably also guessed that Li Mu would not take it. After all, directors like them no longer need to prove themselves with the box office of the sequel.

He is very curious about Li Mu's new movie.

"It should count."

Li Mu thought of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" that is currently being revised, and this should be considered.

"Is it the "Ready Player One" that Warner plans to produce?"

"???"

When Spielberg mentioned it, he almost forgot about it.

This matter is not a secret in the industry. Warner has already approved the project and is still in preparation.

Li Mu thought for a while and shook his head, "I probably won't accept this movie."

He still didn't want to take on this science fiction film. It was not the type he liked to direct. Then he looked at Spielberg beside him and his eyes lit up. "Steve, I think this movie is very suitable for you to direct." ”

"Me? "Dream Realization Giant" is still in production, and I don't have much time."

"It is estimated that there is still one or two years left before filming, which is enough."

Li Mu smiled and said nothing more. Anyway, he still planned to refuse Warner's invitation.

At the same time, Liu Yifei is still busy working on "Fu Er Love Letter" these days, and the film is about to be filmed.

Although it is said that the original cast will be used, that is for the protagonist, and some supporting roles still need to be selected from outside.

Although she doesn't need to be busy with casting, there are also casting directors and Xue Xiaolu, but there are always some people who can help people find connections.
Liu Yifei rubbed the bridge of her nose. These things were inevitable anyway, and she had encountered them many times over the years.

When she first became a director, she encountered more problems and it was not difficult to deal with them.

It's just always annoying.

"Sissi, eat some fruit."

Liu Xiaoli came over holding a large pot of grapes. She couldn't help but feel relieved to see Liu Yifei's curled hair already looking mature.

"Well, it's so sweet."

Liu Yifei took one with her little hand, peeled it gently, put it in her mouth, and her brows relaxed slightly.

Seeing the appearance of her little daughter, Liu Yifei, she couldn't help but smile. Then she thought of something and said slowly, "Sissi, Mom wants to ask you something."

"Ah, mom, what's the matter?"

Liu Yifei picked up another one, feeling a little confused.

"."

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Yifei's cheeks turned from slightly red to red, and her ears turned red.

After listening to this, Liu Xiaoli nodded with satisfaction, "I will come back home to eat more often. The food outside is not very rich and nutritious."

"Ok!"

Liu Yifei hummed in a low voice. If Liu Xiaoli hadn't been sitting next to her, she wouldn't have been able to hear her.

In the evening, Liu Yifei checked the time and when talking to Li Mu, she muttered that Liu Xiaoli was also urging her to have a baby today.

Li Mu laughed dumbly.

"Mom wants to be a grandma, that's understandable."

"Humph, then why did you tell me? It's not something I can decide alone. Why didn't you tell me?"

Liu Yifei got into a little temper and pouted.

".You did remind me."

Li Mu rubbed his chin, as if he thought of something.

"Remind you of something?"

"Since you can't decide on your own, why don't I have to work hard?"

Hearing Li Mu's unserious words and laughter on the phone, Liu Yifei kicked her slender legs in the air on the bed, and her pink little feet looked very cute in the air.

"shameless"

"I'm so shameless. Didn't our mother tell you so?"

"You also said you were not allowed to say anything."

Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he heard Liu Yifei's somewhat angry voice. Liu Yifei, who was too thin-skinned, still couldn't help but laugh even though the two of them had already finished their wedding.
