Chapter 627 Huabiao Award

"Jiang Wen has approved the script for his new film "Hidden Heroes", which he will write and direct. It is still a story about the Republic of China period. Together with his previous two works "Let the Bullets Fly" and "One Step Away", it will form the 'Beiyang Trilogy'."

"Director Li Mu's "Operation Red Sea" will participate in the China Film Huabiao Awards and the Chinese Film New Force Tribute to the 95th Anniversary of the Founding of the Party, and will serve as a member of the Chinese Film New Force crew."

"It is reported that the production cost of Rock Mastiff is as high as 6000 million US dollars. Huayi is targeting global distribution and has received high praise overseas."

"."

At the same time, the long-awaited new film by Jiang Wen has finally completed the script project, which means that the film has completed the first step of a thousand-mile journey.

There are also frequent news about the Huabiao Awards, and everyone in the entire circle gives face, unless they are really unable to spare the time.

The US$6000 million budget of "Rock Mastiff" has sparked a lot of discussion in the industry, and Huayi's ambition is obvious to all.

You have to know that the budget for animations like "Zootopia" is basically around 1.5 million US dollars, and 6000 million US dollars is considered a medium-sized production in Hollywood.

It is obvious that Huayi has great ambitions and is preparing to sell into the global market.

In contrast, "Big Fish and Begonia" is based firmly in China.

Everyone in the industry is waiting for the showdown between the two animated films on July 7, but what netizens find interesting is that last year’s domestic animation box office champion “The Monkey King: Hero is Back” was also released in the same time period, and even became a national phenomenon-level film.

These two films, which have very different styles but have been long-awaited, were chosen to be released at this time, which is really intended to continue writing the myth of last year's domestic animated film box office, and are full of ambition.

Li Mu has been very comfortable recently. He handles company matters during the day, checks the progress of "Operation Red Sea" from time to time, and spends time with his wife and children at night.

These days, both Li Mu and Liu Yifei have become fans of the hottest campus drama recently, "The Best of Us".

It happened that "The Best of Us" had just aired its 21st episode, and the second male lead, Lu Xinghe, had proposed to the female lead Geng Geng 56 times.

Faced with Lu Xinghe's affectionate confession, Geng Geng was "extremely moved but still refused", still waiting for Yu Huai's return.

This pure youth campus made Liu Yifei sigh:
"Do you think we all start to miss our youth when we get older?"

Liu Yifei leaned on Li Mu's shoulder and stroked the little boy's newly grown hair.

"We have only lived one-third of our lives, and there is still a long way to go!"

“Then we have to live to be 90!”

Liu Yifei showed a sweet smile, and her shallow dimples were like aged wine, making people more intoxicated the more they looked at her.

"Is it not good?"

"It's good to have you by my side."

The two of them chatted with each other, it was very warm.

Under the night sky, every house is brightly lit, and at this moment there is a light here, telling their story.

Just like that, time quickly came to late June.

With the support of imported films such as "Now You See Me 2", "Independence Day 2", "Warcraft" and "X-Men: Apocalypse", the mainland movie box office earned about 243.34 billion yuan.

However, Yang Ying's highly anticipated "Independence Day 2" was suppressed by "Now You See Me 2" in China, earning only over 7000 million yuan on the first day.

It is even more disappointing abroad.

"Independence Day 20," which made movie fans wait for 2 years, only grossed $4300 million in North America in its three days of opening weekend, less than the previous film and was suppressed by "Finding Dory."

Not to mention the word of mouth, it only has a 33% media freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, which is also lower than the first episode - "Independence Day" is 61%, but at least it passes.

This terrible result made Yang Ying's face gloomy at the moment.

Because she had said before that she wanted to be a female alien monster in "Independence Day 3"!

However, with this result, will there really be an "Independence Day 3"?
Even though the ending of "Independence Day 2" leaves enough suspense to tell everyone that there will be a sequel, all this is based on the box office results.
At the same time, Li Mu and Liu Yifei stepped onto the red carpet of the Huabiao Awards.

The guest lineup of the China Film Huabiao Awards has always been star-studded.

As the saying goes, "One arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet." This year, the Huabiao Awards and the "New Force" were merged together, making this light and shadow festival usher in the strongest lineup in history. When the assembly call sounded, almost the entire entertainment industry came together to show their support.

There are many industry leaders such as Jiang Zhiqiang, Wang Zhonglei, Yang Shoucheng, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, as well as behind-the-scenes big names such as Huang Jianxin, Wong Kar-wai, Jiang Wen, Guan Hu, Ning Hao, and Xu Chengyi.

Of course, movie stars such as Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, and Chow Yun-fat are also present.

There are more than 68 people in the 300 crews alone.

It can be said that it is a meeting of famous directors and many big names.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei arrived quite early, although there were already people there.

"Director Li, Yifei."

Huang Bo, dressed in a suit and tie, waved in front.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei also waved and walked over.

"Brother Bo, you're here so early."

Liu Yifei said immediately, because she felt that she had come early, but unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she saw that Huang Bo seemed to have been standing here for quite a long time.

"It's nothing, so I just came early. There will definitely be a traffic jam later, believe it or not."

Huang Bo praised himself for his wit, then looked towards the red carpet, "How about we leave now?"

"We can't do it yet. Zhang Yi and his team are coming soon. Let's go together as a crew, so we don't have to go twice."

Li Mu declined, because Tang Jing, Zhang Yi and others said on the phone that they were already there and would be there soon.

"Okay, I'll leave first."

Huang Bo didn't care and walked straight onto the red carpet with a swagger.

However, after just a while, I heard a staff member on the red carpet shouting, "Teacher Huang Bo, the live broadcast hasn't started yet, slow down!"

When the crowd found out, they screamed, but Huang Bo waved to the crowd, smiled smugly, and then entered the venue.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei were really popular here. People who came later, such as Liang Jiahui, Zhang Hanyu, Cheng Long and others, also hurried to greet Li Mu and Liu Yifei.

Zhu Yawen came with the crew of "Lu Yao Zhi Mali".

Bao Beier, Song Jia and others were extremely envious of how familiar Zhu Yawen was with Li Mu and Liu Yifei. Everyone was watching here, so it was easy to tell who was familiar and who was not.

The live broadcast started immediately after Huang Bo.

Tang Jing, Zhang Yi, Hai Qing and others arrived very quickly. After all the crew members who came to participate in the Huabiao Awards gathered, Li Mu and others also walked across the red carpet quickly.

"Director Li, when will the fine cut of the movie be available?"

Tang Jing asked as she walked along the long red carpet.

"It should be ready in August, I'll take it then!"

Li Mu said without hesitation that he was very familiar with the progress of "Operation Red Sea" these days.

"Then I'll wait for Director Li's good news."

A few people walked directly into the venue while chatting.

Some food was also provided in the venue.

Because we probably expected the red carpet to last a long time. After all, there are so many people participating, and it is impossible for everyone to go hungry for several hours.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei were not polite either.

However, some female stars are still relatively reserved. After all, there are too many big guys here and they have to leave a good impression.

"Xixi, Director Li!"

Just as Li Mu was taking Liu Yifei to find food, a female voice was heard from behind.

"Sister Yun, Director Jiang!"

Liu Yifei turned around and saw Zhou Yun walking towards her with Jiang Wen.

"I was wondering which big brother would dare to forage for food here so recklessly, and it turned out to be true."

Jiang Wen joked, picked up a breaded burger on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. Because the burger was small, Jiang Wen finished it in one bite.

"Pay attention to your image. No one will compete with you."

Zhou Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry after reading it.

"dislike!"

Li Mu had a look of disgust on his face and quickly pulled Liu Yifei away from him.

"You have to eat enough when you come here. Don't you dare say you didn't come here with this in mind?"

Jiang Wen looked disdainful. Everyone knows who knows whom.

The red carpet lasts for two hours, and the award ceremony and various events will take at least four or five hours. Who can endure it without eating something to fill their stomach?

Li Mu was not as rude as Jiang Wen, but compared to the elegance of Liu Yifei and Zhou Yun when eating, he was still quite rude.

During this time, many people came and joked around, but everyone was not so particular about what they picked up to eat.

"By the way, Lao Li, do you have a message session later?"

"How do you know?"

Li Mu asked doubtfully.

"Nonsense, I'm the same as you."

Jiang Wen was angry.

Then several people found their respective seats and sat down, but Jiang Wen was a man who couldn't sit still. After a while, he stood up and went to brag to someone.

Li Mu was not idle either. Although he was seated, all the important people in the circle would come over to chat or say hello.

The audience watching the live broadcast at this time were shocked because they couldn't keep up.

This feast was more like an expo for the Chinese film industry. Senior executives from China Film, Shanghai Film, Mengying, Bona Film, Huayi, LeTV, Enlight, Emperor Entertainment Group, and Emperor Entertainment Group all attended with their masterpieces.

Directors from three generations, old, middle-aged and young, also made an appearance.

A total of 68 creative people from 300 crews walked on the red carpet.

This grand occasion and celebration was even greater than in previous years, with both the number of participants and the scale of the event setting new records in the history of the Huabiao Awards.

"I feel like I'm counting stars, but I can't count them all. I can't count them at all!"

"Too strong, worthy of the Huabiao Award, what a pity!"

"Why can't I see Li Mu and Liu Yifei? Where are they?"

"You're late. Liu Yifei was already in the first group. She was wearing a stunning royal blue outfit. Go and see the picture. Damn Li Mu. We have an irreconcilable feud."

"."

Ning Hao and Xing Ai also came, but they arrived later.

After saying hello, Li Mu saw Huang Bo entangled Ning Hao, and then the two of them kept discussing until the award ceremony officially started, and Huang Bo sat back in his seat.

This year's Huabiao Awards have made some progress and have successfully lost weight.

Not only were the 25 awards last year reduced to 12, but the double-yolk tradition was also abandoned, with only one winner for each individual award.

However, there are still ten excellent films, and the significance of encouragement is greater than selection, so it is still difficult to escape the characteristic of "dividing the pork".
