Chapter 582 King of the Century?

On the set of "Operation Red Sea", everyone was congratulating Li Mu.

Everyone used the word "awesome" one after another.

The Golden Globe nomination really shocked everyone.

Not because of the number of nominations, but because it's the first time in the history of the Golden Globes that two films are competing for the Best Director award.

However, in the history of the Oscars, there have been such cases.

We still have to pursue it until 2001, when director Steven Soderbergh was nominated for the Best Director Award at the 73rd Academy Awards for his films "Drug Network" and "Never Compromise", and was hailed as a "buyer" Double insurance.

And in the end, with "Drug Network", he defeated the strong opponents who had been favored by the media, Ang Lee, the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Ridley Scott, the director of "Gladiator", and won the "Best Director" award. "This fortress became the king of the century.

The most promising young director of the 21st century ushered in the peak of his career at the age of 38, and also created a myth for the Oscars.

Soderbergh is the first director in the past 60 years to have two films compete for the same Oscar. Before him, only two directors had the same experience, Clarence Brown in 1930 and 1938. Michael Curtis, who directed "The Spies", did not win any of their films.

Because the Golden Globes have given guidance.

Liu Yifei said nonchalantly, the baby is already over eight months old in January, no matter how important the award is, can it be more important than the child?

"You two, how scary it is to say this."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shu Chang couldn't help but say, "If you say this, you will probably be criticized by people in the circle. If you don't go after being nominated, I will probably be jealous to death."

It has to be said that this move of the Golden Globe Awards has completely ignited the situation and has become the most watched award hot spot at present.

"I don't care, I have no intention of going there anyway."

"Sissi, I feel it doesn't matter whether you win the Golden Globe or not. Your Li Mu has almost become a global hot spot this time."

"Can Li Mu get a double nomination at the Oscars?"

"Amu said that if the filming progress of "Operation Red Sea" does not go as expected, he may not be able to go."

"The Golden Globes have set a precedent, will the Oscars follow suit? Can Double Insurance for Best Director be repeated?"

"."

"."

Global media are now discussing this topic.

Liu Yifei's innocent face was filled with pride, "It would be great if his father can take the child."

"Create a myth and become the king of the century?"

Shu Chang exclaimed that all aspects of the media are now reporting on this matter, and it is not only limited to domestic media, but the popularity in Asia and even the world remains high.

It is true that this wave of popularity cannot even compare to the upcoming "The Secret of the Dragon".

Now Li Mu is very likely to be the one to restart this case again after Steven Soderbergh.

Shu Chang was so surprised that his pronunciation in dialect came out.

Fans around the world are buzzing and waiting for the Golden Globes and Oscar nominations in January.

Whether the Golden Globes were doing this for the sake of popularity or for various reasons, it has become a fact.

"Boss, the popularity of our own movies has been suppressed!"

"Embarrassing, this movie promotion plan is not as popular as the boss's"

"."

The publicity department of Mengying Media was dumbfounded at the moment. This sudden news suppressed the promotion of "The Secret of the Dragon".

"The director said to release three minutes of the original film to attract fans, so work quickly!"

Following the supervisor's instructions, everyone got into working mode.

The three-minute prologue clip exposed this time comes from the opening credits of the movie.

At the beginning, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang cut open the roof of the tomb, held ropes and entered the tomb chamber. They performed the special skill of "Swan Laying Eggs", which is the gold-touching captain. Then the three of them avoided the hidden arrows of the agency and cooperated with each other to light candles and open the coffin. , and it also does not fall short of the "God-restored" original classic.

In the end, when the veil was lifted by Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang slowly opened her eyes and showed an evil smile, which made the tense plot even more confusing.

The film whetted the audience's appetite, and a large number of fans commented, begging for more clips to be released and more tickets to the premiere.

"The Secret of the Dragon" is one of the highlights of the Lunar New Year festival and is still the most anticipated.

At the same time, Li Mu also received a lot of congratulations, but at this time he was still dealing with the dean of Nortel.

"Zhang Yuan, you can't teach me just once when I win an award. Will the ink in my stomach automatically increase just because I win the award?"

Li Mu excused himself, saying that as his alma mater, Li Mu had taken care of him to some extent over the years, but this teaching thing was not a serious professor. How long would it take to prepare for it to be made public once?
"As for the visiting professorship at the college, you have to implement it. The next few years will not be much different from the past two years."

Zhang Huijun didn't seem surprised that Li Mu would refuse the previous thing, and smiled lightly.

Li Mu smiled bitterly, "Good guy, it turns out I was waiting here. I originally planned to take over this honorary position in a few years. This thing is actually used to show the strength of the school."

Cameron has accepted Nortel's invitation in China in the past few years, but he is the only one among domestic art schools.

"Zhang Yuan, let's decide next year. I won't be able to go back this year."

Li Mu thought about it for a while and decided to just finalize it, so that he wouldn't have to worry about it all the time.

It's just that I used Nortel as an excuse to temporarily block invitations from other colleges and universities. I'm afraid they will come one after another in the future.

"This matter is easy to handle." Zhang Huijun seemed to be in a good mood, "By the way, Chen Yuan, deputy dean of Peking University School of Arts, had dinner with me yesterday and mentioned that Peking University's Film and Television Drama Research Center plans to continue to recruit a consultant. Do you have any questions? not interested."

Li Mu was slightly startled, but not too surprised. There are indeed few consultants at the Peking University Film and Television Drama Research Center. Before Li Mu, only Chen Kaige was employed as a director. Li Mu's current honorary status is enough to support him.

"Don't underestimate this consultant. There are many people who want to compete."

Zhang Huijun seemed to be afraid that Li Mu would not take it seriously, so he nodded specifically.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone was smart. Li Mu immediately thought of one person, Lu Xun, whom he hadn't quarreled with for a long time.

If he hadn't guessed, the people who used the force here were also his teacher and Lu Tianming.
"So that's not a double blessing!"

Li Mu immediately agreed. Anyway, there is no difference between picking up one and picking up two.

"Hahaha, indeed, double happiness."

Zhang Huijun laughed heartily. This time, all his goals were achieved.

Li Mu didn't take it too seriously. In the final analysis, these honors still depend on one's own strength and honor.

Of course, this is for directors. Putting aside the identity of director, just the identity of the helmsman of Mengying Media is enough to move sideways in the industry.

However, at this moment, Lu Xun was communicating with Lu Tianming with a depressed look.

"Don't worry about consultants. The Chen Institute of the Peking University School of Arts has found someone to invite Li Mu. Now there are rumors that Li Mu accepted the invitation. Neither you nor anyone else has a chance."

"Isn't this hearsay!"

"Haha, guess why the gossip came here, if you want to blame it, you have to blame yourself."

Lu Tianming said calmly and then hung up the phone.

"Even if you don't deal with me, right, you still have to get involved?"

Lu Xun's face was gloomy and uncertain. The seniority and reputation in the director world were accumulated step by step.

Some positions can be of great use at certain times. Even if they are not useful, it is still an honor.

In the theater in Morocco, the filming has entered the advanced stage.

An 8-member team was ordered to carry out the evacuation mission. Casualties seemed inevitable in this country where cannon fodder is everywhere.

This is another moral in the script.

There is never a quiet time in the world. There are always people dying and getting hurt for the lights of thousands of families.

In the studio, the staff was silent, only the actors and props could hear the sounds of gunshots and shells.

At this time, it was the Jiaolong Commando machine gunner Shitou Zhang Tiande who continued to fight after being shot. In the end, he was shot through the neck and was dying.

"I hurt so much!"

Tong Li was so sad that she panicked. She screamed and took out candy for him to eat, "Eat candy! It won't hurt if you eat candy!"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, we're going home!"

"."

The emotional rendering is already in place.

Even during filming, Li Mu saw some people couldn't help but wipe their eyes with their hands.

"Okay, click! Passed!"

Li Mu clapped his hands and shouted.

"I'm afraid this section will make many viewers cry to death!"

"Director Li's movies can always bring people to tears when they are needed most. Damn it, I almost couldn't hold back when I was watching the filming."

"."

"Luxia, Yutian, awesome!"

Wu Jing, Zhang Yi and others also gave thumbs up, "I was very emotional just now."

"It's all thanks to instructor Li!"

Wang Yutian scratched the back of her head, but Jiang Luxia joked, "Director Li lied to us. During the audition, he said that he didn't need acting skills. The scene just now brought out all my lifelong skills!"

"Hahaha!"

"You also believe Director Li's words. What Director Li said does not require acting skills, but his acting skills must pass the test! What Director Li said requires acting skills, and his acting skills must reach the level of a movie actor, otherwise there will be no chance. Understand!"

"It's all a routine, I understand."

Everyone in the crew laughed, one after another.

Li Mu smiled, and instead of interrupting everyone, he joined in. It was a good thing that the atmosphere on the set was so good.

The filming of "Operation Red Sea" was indeed not easy during this period, and I had to have some fun amidst the hardships.

Just as "Mojin: The Last Dragon" is about to hit the big screen and start its premiere, the fourth week data of "The Hunger Games" has also come out.

"Mockingjay" grossed $1130 million in a single week, becoming the third four-week box office crown in 2015 after "Fast and Furious 7" and "Jurassic World", and the second in the "Hunger Games" series. Four consecutive championships.

The consecutive box office success of more than 1000 million is also attributed to the North American film market, which was in a slump after the Thanksgiving weekend.

The total revenue of the Top 12 was only 6871 million, which was only less than 9 million U.S. dollars higher than the first week of September, the "annual freezing point", putting the "laurel crown" of the "second to last" on their heads.
