Chapter 542 Loop? Zen circle

""Kung Fu Panda 3" is scheduled to be released on January 2016, 1, and will be dubbed by Cheng Long!"

"The first trailer of "Kung Fu Panda 3" was released, full of Chinese elements and widely praised!"

"According to relevant personnel, Liu Yifei will not participate in "Three Lives Three Worlds"."

The press conference for "Kung Fu Panda 3" was Li Mu's participation in the Shanghai International Film Festival.

He really felt that he was here to work, unlike some other actors who came to walk on the red carpet to gain popularity. After all, he didn't need it.

The day after the press conference, Li Mu returned directly to the Imperial Capital.

As for Alibaba Pictures' "Three Lives Three Worlds", it is currently controversial.

Because Liu Yifei did not participate in the show, many people protested on Weibo.

"No more, tell me who else can you choose?"

"Confused, confused!!!"

"I really can't think of anyone you can choose. Anyway, no one you choose can pass my level."

"Hey, I guessed it"

Director Zhao Xiaoding looked at the comments from netizens and couldn't laugh or cry. He felt that half of his "grand ambition" had failed and that the middle road had collapsed. He couldn't help but feel deeply wronged and wronged.
It's really not that he doesn't want to invite Liu Yifei, but that the CEO of Alibaba Pictures has already invited her. Doesn't this mean she can't be invited?

After Li Mu came back, he remembered Guo Fan's "Arrival".

"No news yet about director Guo's "Arrival"?"

Li Mu asked Lu Yu. He thought about it and found that one of this year's plans didn't seem to have much movement yet.

"Director Guo said that we should first model the model to see the shape of the spaceship and other model effects, and then prepare for shooting."

Lu Yu replied respectfully.

"Oh, in Tiancai?"

"It should be here now. The staff said that Director Guo has basically been staying at Tiancai during this period."

After Lu Yu finished replying, he asked someone to confirm it again.

Li Mu nodded, thought about it, and went directly to Tiancai.

Tiancai, Guo Fan moved a chair and sat next to the special effects staff. He also discussed with the staff from time to time, pointing fingers, and obviously had some opinions on the model.

So much so that when Li Mu stood behind him, neither of the two people involved in the discussion noticed.

After a while, the two of them realized that when they wanted to stand up and say hello, Li Mu pushed them down.

"how is the progress."

Li Mu looked at the model in front of him. It had a very futuristic sci-fi feel to it. This spaceship was made with a bit of artistry.

"Where's the alien model?"

"Mr. Li, here."

The special effects artist immediately switched to a picture.

"Okay, not bad!"

Li Mu patted the two of them on the shoulders. Guo Fan was indeed talented in this area, and with professional staff discussing it with him, the things he made were pretty good.

"Director Li, the difficulty now may lie in the language design of these alien civilizations."

"Mr. Li, what Director Guo said is that we don't have a clue yet."

What Guo Fan and the special effects artist said is also the most important part of the movie.

The scene created by this kind of language should bring shock or mystery to the audience, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the effect of the movie.

Li Mu frowned. He only had a rough impression, but how could he remember such a detailed thing, and this was creating a language.

“No professionals?”

"Anthropologists and linguists have been invited to collaborate and conduct research, examining several extinct languages ​​that existed in the Middle Ages and were only spoken in South America, North America and Asia, but the current progress is not good."

Guo Fan rummaged through the folders on the desktop, pulled out a few and handed them to Li Mu.

Li Mu looked at it carefully and was not satisfied with these plans.

"It's really ordinary. What we want here is a non-human thing. These things are too human."

These symbolic language designs must make people feel real, but at the same time they must be sufficiently strange, intelligent, and mysterious.

It is based on a highly developed intelligent civilization and must comply with basic language rules so that the characters in the film can decipher it.

This is the minimum requirement for those who are actually working on the invention of this language, but it is also a very difficult requirement.

Li Mu also calmed down and discussed with Guo Fan.

The core requirement now is to have something non-human, and to reflect the intention of looping, because the plot of the film involves the proposition of a non-linear time system.

In the end, the two found an anthropologist and a linguist invited to discuss it together.

Li Mu listened to the chatter in the conference room. Everyone was talking about their own ideas, but no one person's idea could achieve unanimous agreement from everyone.

"Director Guo, the script has explained it to us many times, but the circular meaning you mentioned is really too abstract. What kind of shape is it?"

The discussion came to no result, and everyone returned to the core needs.

Non-human things are easy to understand, but the meaning of looping is really abstract. This feeling is probably only understood by Li Mu and Guo Fan.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Guo Fan was about to reply, Li Mu suddenly stopped everyone.

"Teacher Wu, you were just talking about the shape of the circle, right?"

Li Mu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, Director Li, how should I put it? In principle, the creation of characters starts from form, meaning to shape and sound, but form is the foundation." "I feel that the meaning of circulation should be the shape of a circle. Buddhism has the theory of Zen circle. , teachers should have heard it more or less, cycle and circle are the closest.”

Li Mu said firmly that he felt that there was no more suitable feeling than a circle.

Guo Fan clapped his hands suddenly, very excited, "Director Li, yes, that's what it feels like. It should be round."

Now it was the turn of these anthropologists and linguists to fall into deep thought, as if they were still thinking about it.

"Director Li, Director Guo, we are thinking about it and will reply to you later."

In the end, these scholars were still thinking and were not in a hurry to draw conclusions.

"There's no rush, teachers, take your time and think about it."

Li Mu nodded. The creation of this writing is not that simple. A lot of effort will probably be spent on it.

"If the text is confirmed, you can start casting and filming."

"Yeah, that's the plan."

"Who do you plan to choose?"

"We have some candidates. We will send out casting invitations in a few days."

"."

Li Mu stayed in Tiancai until night.

Looking at the message sent by Liu Yifei on WeChat, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Because I was too involved in work, I didn’t reply to many of the messages I sent.

I quickly called him.

"I'm so hungry. Where are you? Let's go eat."

Liu Yifei touched her belly at this moment and said coquettishly.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to lose weight yesterday?"

Li Mu was stunned. When Liu Yifei stepped on the scale last night and saw the value displayed, she immediately blocked it with her feet.

Li Mu also wanted to see how much Liu Yifei weighed, but Liu Yifei covered his eyes with her hands and yelled, "I won't show him, it's a secret."

Then I made a vow that night to start losing weight tomorrow.

Although Li Mu has heard this sentence countless times over the years, he can still insist on it occasionally.

If Li Mu remembered correctly, the longest time he persisted was for two weeks, an incredible achievement.

Unexpectedly, this time I only lasted less than a day.

"Tomorrow is a new month. Starting from tomorrow, it is easy to count the days and it is convenient to count. Yes, counting from tomorrow."

Liu Yifei proudly found a very reasonable reason for herself.

Even Li Mu couldn't help but nod his head at this reason. It seemed that it was indeed the case and very reasonable.

"Okay, let's celebrate today being the end of June, let's have a big meal."

"Yeah, how soon will you come back? I'll change my clothes and put on makeup."

Liu Yifei's furious voice came from the phone.

"No rush, I'm just getting ready to drive back."

Li Mu smiled slightly.

Summer is by no means the season for hot pot and barbecue. In Cantonese terms, it’s just too hot.

But it just so happens that if you haven’t eaten these two things for a long time, you will crave them very much.

After eating, I didn’t have much desire for a short time.

Coincidentally, the two of them haven't had barbecue for a long time.

The kebabs here in the Imperial Capital are indeed bigger. Compared with the kebabs in Guangdong Province, they are not a bit bigger.

You have a skewer, I have a skewer, and the two of them are very happy eating.

But on the way back to the car, Liu Yifei touched her belly with guilt, "It's over, I couldn't control myself, how many calories did this cost."

"It will be used up if you practice martial arts tomorrow."

When Li Mu saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said, Liu Yifei is so cute like this.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuakva, these calories can’t be eliminated even if you practice martial arts for two hours tomorrow.”

Liu Yifei looked depressed, as if she had forgotten how much fun she had just eating in the barbecue restaurant.

"Why don't I have the kind of physique that won't make me fat no matter how much I eat?"

"."

When Li Mu heard this, his mouth twitched slightly, "Good guy, what a dream this is."

Entering July, the box office results for the first half of the year are finally released.

内地电影市场上半年累计票房201.4亿，突破了200亿大关。《速度与激情7》的单片成绩破20亿，超过《变形金刚4》成为内地票房史上最高。

不过今年上半年的国产片吸金实力略逊，票房不到10亿的《澳门风云2》（9.74亿）为上半年本土电影票房冠军，其次为《天将雄师》（7.43亿）和《狼图腾》（6.98亿）。

"Jurassic World" has exceeded 15 billion yuan in domestic box office, but breaking 20 billion yuan seems a bit reluctant at present.

In North America, "Jurassic World" easily won the North American weekly box office for three consecutive times, shattering "Inside Out"'s dream of winning the championship. It also set a new record in the world, the fastest to break through 4 million U.S. dollars, and the fastest to break through 10 billion US dollars, the fastest to break through various records of 12 billion US dollars.

According to predictions, "Jurassic World" has a high probability of approaching US$20 billion, and a small probability of exceeding US$20 billion.

But this does not affect "Jurassic World" from breaking into the historical box office list, and it is among the top 5. As for where it can go, it will ultimately depend on the results after the global release.
