Chapter 618: Lots of things on the red carpet
"The 8th Cross-Strait Film Exhibition opened in Taipei. Directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait discussed and exchanged views. Many well-known directors such as Li Mu, Li Jian, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Feng Xiaogang, etc. talked about high frame rate film technology."

"The military blockbuster "Wolf Warrior 2", produced by Mengying Media and directed by and starring Wu Jing, held a press conference and opening ceremony. It is reported that the crew will be the first to go to South Africa for filming and is expected to meet the audience in 2017."

"The military-themed film "Operation Red Sea" jointly produced by Mengying Media, Haizheng Television Art Center, and China Film Co., Ltd. is scheduled to be released on September 9. The film is adapted from the real incident of "Yemen Evacuation" and will take you to appreciate the style of the navy. "

"."

In the past few days, Li Mu has appeared in reports quite frequently.

And in order to build momentum for "Operation Red Sea", this special promotional trailer has been released on the official Weibo of "Operation Red Sea".

This is a trailer made with the most authentic on-site footage.

Tanks traveling fearlessly in the Gobi, warships ready to go on the sea, and calm commandos.
Exciting scenes such as thrilling car rollovers and high-altitude rappellings are constantly flashed in the trailer. Of course, this is due to Li Mu's insistence on the principle of "shooting in real scenes and rejecting studio shooting".

Moreover, you can see in this special trailer that almost all explosions and gun battle scenes were directed by Li Mu himself, and all the actors took turns to demonstrate, and they were all disgraced.
"This trailer makes my blood boil!"

"Oh, doesn't this whet my appetite? But I have to say, Li Mu really knows what we want to see, and this clip completely captured me."

"I'm a woman who likes to watch these things. Is it reasonable?"

"Is this a movie? It feels like a Navy propaganda film. It's so handsome. Damn, this is a man!"

"."

During the few days Li Mu was in Baodao, the domestic Huading Awards made another joke.

去年华鼎奖就因为在1月8日和1月18日分别举办了两届奖项，中间仅隔了10天，让网友们纷纷质疑。

This time Wang Kai is included in the Best Actor nomination. You must know that in "The Pretender", Wang Kai is not the protagonist.

This move aroused dissatisfaction among a large number of fans, which directly caused the fans of Hu Ge and Wang Kai to start a fight and let all parties take advantage of it.

Hou Hongliang, the producer of the show, quickly posted on his official Weibo account:
"What does this have to do with Wang Kai, the producer? We won't take the blame."

"."

As a result, Tangren Film, producers, agencies, etc. were all criticized by fans. On the contrary, the Huading Awards became extremely noisy because of this controversy and benefited a lot.

Finally, things have developed to this point. Some netizens reacted and believed that Wang Kai was nominated for Best Actor at the Huading Awards because he was deliberately consuming famous actors.

After Li Mu came back from Treasure Island, he couldn't help but smile when he heard Liu Yifei talking about it.

Nowadays, many unofficial awards ceremonies in China use various tricks to increase the momentum and hype. After all, without the appearance of celebrities with fan effects, no one will pay attention to the awards. Without attention, there will be no potential benefits such as advertising and investment.

At this time, Lu Xun, who had not been seen for a long time, gave a speech at the China Center of Oxford University.

This made Jiang Wen angry.

Because Lu Xun was proudly talking about his masterpiece "Nanjing!" Nanjing! ”, some Chinese students at the scene were controversial about this, and Lu Xun also said shamelessly:

"The intention of "Nanjing! Nanjing!" is not to target a specific ethnic group against Japan. I made this film to restore the truth of history, or to use the mirror of history to reflect the current social situation!"

"This grandson!"

Jiang Wen cursed and said, "Photographing the anti-Japanese war is responsible for the world, and resisting the invaders is the work that should be most expressive. But what is this turtle's grandson filming? It can be said that we Chinese are not as good as foreigners.

We now know that the Nazis are bad people and that the Jews were persecuted because foreign investors and artists are doing this, so that young people in a small town in China can know what the Nazis did.

And many people don’t know what the Japanese did.”

At this time, Liu Yifei passed by with her child in her arms, and Jiang Wen's voice on the phone was still cursing. Liu Yifei glanced at Li Mu in surprise, thinking that Li Mu and Jiang Wen had quarreled.

"fine!"

Li Mu said nothing to Liu Yifei.

"It's bad luck to say this guy is bad! Fortunately, there aren't many reports in the country, but"

Li Mu chuckled, because there were only a few representatives, and they were able to show off their energy, which was quite a bit of energy.

Jiang Wen was still fuming.

"By the way, no matter where I've been lately, I haven't seen a single soul."

Jiang Wen seems to have disappeared recently. After filming "A Star Wars Story", there was no news at all.

"What else can we do? Treat the screenwriter to dinner."

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Li Mu laughed dumbly. Good guy, he started doing his old tricks again.

"Is anyone else fooled?"

"If you keep working hard, there will always be someone willing to help me write."

Jiang Wen was not embarrassed at all. "Besides, I am not asking them to be the main force. I will write the big framework and they can just add the flesh and blood. How tiring can it be?"

"Haha, you know how tired you are."

Li Mu said angrily, this guy is a notoriously exhausted screenwriter.

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu went upstairs to the master bedroom.

Liu Yifei was playing a game with Little Baozi, and the two of them looked particularly warm in the bedroom.

"What happened to Director Jiang just now?" Liu Yifei turned to look at Li Mu, but her hands did not stop.

"What else could it be? Netizens are scolding me now."

"Oh!"

Liu Yifei reacted immediately. After all, Lu Xun was the only one who was scolded and mentioned by Li Mu and Jiang Wen.

However, Lu Xun paid no attention to it, as if he was not the one being scolded.

May is usually the month of the Cannes Film Festival.

Although there are no domestic competition films shortlisted this time, the Cannes red carpet is still very attractive, with many new and old stars preparing to show off their talents there.

Of course, there are also many producers who go there to promote quick deals.

No, the most popular one is "Tomb Raiders Notes", so we plan to focus our promotion there.

The red carpet is full of momentum. This time, the older generation in China is represented by Gong Li, and Li Binbin and other big flowers are there as the spokespersons of the brand.

The new generation is dominated by Jing Boran and Ma Sichun from "Tomb Robbers Notes".

Many fans are looking forward to it.

But what they never expected was that Jing Boran and Ma Sichun were "cruelly" stopped one step away from the red carpet of the opening ceremony. They could only watch helplessly as unnamed "carpet stars" succeeded on the red carpet. .

The disappearance of the "Tomb Raiders" crew immediately became a mystery at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.

Fans were immediately agitated, as they must know how important the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival is to the new generation of actors who have not yet entered the three major film festivals or are less experienced.

This is where international exposure is broadened.

LeTV Pictures, the producer of "Tomb Raiders", quickly shifted the responsibility to the event organizer and gave a response:
“There was an organizational error, which caused most of the creative staff to arrive at the scene late and unable to successfully complete the red carpet.

For a time, rumors spread on the front lines of Cannes: the crew was not invited at all, bought the wrong red carpet tickets, was late and missed the event, and went to the wrong place.
There is another skeptical view ahead:
It's possible that she didn't get the tickets at all and had to stage a "lateness" to cover up. Back then, a certain actress discovered that she couldn't get the tickets when she was on the Oscars red carpet, so she had to stage a stage where she suddenly fell ill. farce.

“There’s so much to do on the red carpet.”

In Li Mu's office, Guo Fan complained, picked up the slightly hot tea and took a sip.

"This thing is somewhat useful." Li Mu smiled, "After all, it cost 20 euros."

"It's so dark!"

Guo Fan shook his head.

He naturally knows the price Li Mu mentioned. After all, he is an industry insider. People like "Tomb Raiders" are just here to sell movies. Neither the actors nor the directors are ranked high in the world. It is naturally impossible for the organizer to invite them to the red carpet. .

But for the sake of publicity, it is natural to build momentum on the red carpet, so the red carpet black market was born.

This year's market prices are not low. The price of the opening ceremony ranges from 1.6 to 2 euros, while the price of the opening ceremony red carpet ticket is 10 euros.

However, the appearance of the crew members on the Cannes red carpet is beneficial to the promotion and sales of the film, and is understandable.

"Is the post-production of the movie finished?"

Li Mu asked, Guo Fan has almost been buried in post-production in the past few months. Now that he can appear here, it is most likely that it has been completed in advance.

It was originally expected to be in June, but it seems to be ahead of schedule.

"Yes, Director Li, why don't we see the effect together."

Guo Fan invited with a smile. Of course he had seen it more than once. Naturally, he invited Li Mu because he wanted Li Mu to give some opinions.

"Okay, it's okay anyway, let's go take a look."

Li Mu put down his tea cup and nodded.

Tiancai, in the screening room.

Now "Arrival" has been cut to 110 minutes, which in Li Mu's impression is a few minutes less than the original version.

"It seems like the plot is a little tighter."

Li Mu thought as he watched.

"Watch the red carpet regardless of whether you think about it or not!"

After watching the movie, Li Mu thought about it and suggested.

"Director Li, what do you mean?"

Guo Fan's eyes lit up. In fact, he also felt that this movie could really compete in the film festival.

"You can go to Venice and give it a try."

"Then try it."

Guo Fan said he would give it a try, but he was already ready to make a move. After all, which director doesn't want to win an award? The three major awards have always been what directors chase.
