Chapter 566 Box Office
"I really want to see the premiere of "La La Land"!"

"It's okay, baby. I've bought the tickets for tomorrow's movie. Let's go have dinner first and then watch a movie tonight."

“What time is the box office?”

"It's past ten o'clock!"

"Then it's not too late to go back."

"."

Tomorrow is the Qixi Festival in the Chinese lunar calendar. Similar conversations happen in every corner, but the male compatriots all buy their tickets later. After all, the later the time, the better the atmosphere.

At the same time, at Mengying Media Cinemas, the premiere of "La La Land" has come to the moment for the male and female protagonists to meet. The meeting between the two has a traditional happy-enemies pattern.

Some knowledgeable directors and film critics understand clearly that Li Mu used various classic details in the movie to pay tribute.

The film gradually progresses, and the second song and dance scene follows. The images full of contrasting colors, pleasant melodies, and carefully choreographed dances in the night light make it extremely enjoyable for the audience to watch.

"Li Mu is really good at taking pictures. Every outfit of Liu Yifei in this is so beautiful!"

"I have to say, this movie looks very comfortable, inexplicably comfortable."

The audience was discussing in whispers.

Some professional guests are no exception.

"Lao Li's color contrast is really good, it makes people's eyes bright."

Ning Hao said with emotion.

"You can't do it?"

Xing Aina turned to look at Ning Hao.

"He put a lot of effort into this, and the script and colors are well matched. I filmed it."

Ning Hao shook his head, "I have to find a suitable script, and Zhuyu first is not a direction I am good at."

The two then turned their energy to the screen.

The plot continues.

After the male and female protagonists targeted each other at a party, in order to avoid the blind date, the female protagonist deliberately pulled the male protagonist away, and then the two came to the mountain.

The blue-purple night view of the Magic City looks particularly hazy and psychedelic.

Film Review The third song and dance adds a different color, which makes people feel a little unreal.

"Ah ah ah, this is so beautiful. Is this the scene in the trailer?"

"Can this color really be photographed?"

"At this moment, I envy Liu Yifei so much"

The dance between the male and female protagonists under the night of the magical city dazzled the audience.

"I'm afraid this shot took a long time to shoot."

Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhang Yimou secretly murmured that they knew very well how difficult it was to create such a long lens and such colors. I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort just to wait, and it would not be easy to shoot.

The plot of "La La Land" is not very novel. The male and female protagonists have a secret love for a song, and thus become good friends who talk about everything, talking about their dreams with each other.

It's just that this kind of plot was filmed by two people who were lovers before, and there is no sense of violation. Some viewers are even laughing and complaining.

"I'm afraid these two didn't make movies specifically to fall in love."

"Hahaha, don't tell me, it's really possible. What could be more convenient than this? Show your love openly and openly in the script, and you're not afraid of the paparazzi."

"."

Spring is over and the glorious summer is here.

Even if there is no subtitle reminder in "La La Land", even if the film's color palette and music are lively, one can clearly feel that summer is full of vitality and everything is competing.
This advanced processing and technique has made many film critics' evaluation of the film higher.

"The pinnacle application of Li Mu's filmmaking skills"

Some film critics even believe that this movie is the pinnacle of Li Mu's skills and artistry, with details and craftsmanship almost everywhere.

Midsummer love is unrestrained and passionate.

The male and female protagonists transform into tourism ambassadors, and as a couple, they visit all the wonderful streets and enjoy the unique scenery.

In the theater, I couldn't help but feel that I was starting to eat dog food and kept feeding it.

"It's over, I'm not full!"

“It’s a bit eye-catching, but not too filling!”

"Poor me for being single"

"."

The scenes in the film make people feel sweet from the heart.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled. This movie came at the right time.

Not far away, Shu Chang was musing, dumbfounded:
"I thought I would torture the dog, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel."

"."

But summer has arrived, autumn and winter are not far away, and the movie seems to be reincarnated.

In the last seven minutes, Li Mu used the ultimate montage to take the audience to relive the entire movie in another form.

At this point, it has become an art.

The film reached a climax beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone at the scene, whether they were ordinary viewers, film critics, professional guests, or people who had watched the movie, could not help but be deeply shocked again.

There was no grand scene, but it created a powerful force that impacted everyone's hearts.

Especially those who have stories in the theater, their eyes are filled with tears at this moment, desperately trying to wipe away the details in the film.

The song ends and we return to reality.

Many people burst into tears, and some expressed deep emotion.

"The Palme d'Or is well deserved!"

"A masterpiece of masterful craftsmanship!"

Zhang Yimou and Tian Zhuangzhuang commented silently, looking at Li Mu who stood up and accepted the applause of the audience.

"Let's go!"

Li Mu reached out and took Liu Yifei's hand, slowly walking towards the main stage. "Does it look good, everyone?"

Li Mu asked loudly through the microphone.

"nice!"

The audience almost unanimously agreed.

"I won't say any more nonsense. Tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day. I wish all lovers in the world will be happy."

Li Mu then turned the microphone to the audience.

"Family!"

"Brother and sister!"

"."

This time, there was no such concerted effort. Everyone was shocked when they heard someone talking about brother and sister, and then the whole audience burst into laughter.

"That's too much. What are you worried about?"

Li Mu also cooperated with the show, and then laughter rang out from the theater again.

The premiere was concluded successfully.

That night, the Douban score once again reached 9 points, reaching 9.2 points. Although the current score base is not large enough, it can reflect the love of the audience at the premiere.

"Absolutely the best musical of the year and the best of the century!"

"Being a god at the beginning and the end, but in the middle? I am also a god."

"Look, I'm crying! My girlfriend seems to be crying too! Wait, I don't seem to have a girlfriend."

"."

Audiences left comments directly on Weibo and film review websites.

Many film critics also wrote about it.

""La La Land" is the pinnacle of Li Mu's skills and a masterpiece."

"The Palme d'Or film "La La Land", I can only say that Cannes has no problem with its selection this time."

"Only by understanding Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter can one understand Li Mu's "La La Land"!"

"."

It is not an exaggeration to say that "La La Land" has a huge reputation, and its popularity is also exploding at this time. This is the blessing of director + actor + Palme d'Or.

Three things are superimposed. On the day of the Qixi Festival release, there will be no opponent. The only opponent is that the tickets are sold out and the location is too bad.
The movie has become a must-see for couples on a date tomorrow.

All the major theaters were overjoyed because all the screenings for "La La Land" had been sold out, and the screenings for other movies had been temporarily reduced and added to "La La Land".

"Amu, how much do you think you can get on the first day?"

Liu Yifei was sitting in the passenger seat, staring at the comments from various netizens on the phone screen, and couldn't help asking with a smile.

"There is no problem with breaking 100 million, but it is somewhat unpredictable."

Li Mu took a rough look at the previous film schedule data. Normally speaking, with this popularity, tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and with the blessing of the Palme d'Or, if it doesn't break 100 million, it can only be said to be a failure.

But what can I say more specifically? After the film scheduling rate, it depends on the attendance rate, and the current film scheduling rate is definitely not true. As far as he knows, some theaters have temporarily added shows.

"Hey, that's good."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei was already very satisfied.

Although it is not difficult to reach 100 million in a single day now, being able to reach 100 million still shows a lot of problems.

Li Mu smiled and said nothing further. The global box office of "La La Land" is more worth looking forward to. The domestic box office is highly limited, after all, the subject matter is limited.

In terms of publicity, Li Mu plans to run a few games in person. As for Liu Yifei, even if she wants to participate, neither Li's mother nor Liu's mother will let her be so servile.

The results for the Chinese Valentine's Day were also released quickly. A total of 3 million yuan was collected at the box office that day, and "La La Land" received 1.2 million yuan, accounting for about 40%.

And according to feedback from theaters, the increase in box office of other movies is due to the overflow of traffic when the shows of "La La Land" are full and there are basically no good locations.

However, the popularity of "La La Land" has indeed brought a lot of benefits to the second and third-ranked romance films.

However, the tragedy is that the remaining movies are basically used as cannon fodder.

However, in this situation, even if there is no "La La Land", it is still cannon fodder. After all, movies have always made money at the top and cannon fodder at the bottom.

But what Li Mu didn't expect was that he planned to do a few promotions for the movie on his own, but he didn't expect that the fans wouldn't buy it.

"What are you doing? Let Liu Yifei come out. How can you be sincere if you come alone?"

"??? Are we looking at you? Where's Liu Yifei? You're a grown man, no matter how handsome you are, what's so good about you?"

"Sorry, we female fans have the same opinion this time. You are the director, just film well. We want Liu Yifei."

"."

Li Mu was confused by fans at the promotion site. These fans were not cooperative.

"Hahaha, I was laughing so hard."

After returning home, Liu Yifei laughed unkindly when she heard Li Mu's complaint.

".These fans are so rebellious recently!"

Li Mu sighed with emotion.

"It doesn't matter. I'll just wait for you and endure it for another year next year."

Liu Yifei gloated that after the premiere, she would most likely not attend events again. After all, safety must come first.

"One year later, ding, no such person found!"

Li Mu held the back of his head with both hands and smiled lightly.

"No way, my fans are so good, they are waiting for me to return as the king."

Liu Yifei put her hands on her hips, feeling quite arrogant.

The performance of "La La Land" these days is also quite good, but it is far from the first day.

The next day, Friday, 6600 million.

Saturday, 7300 million.
