Chapter 667 Role
Wen Muye, with his pair of panda eyes, really scared Li Mu.

"You have dark circles under your eyes. Take more rest. The crew is not that anxious."

Li Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly and patted Wen Muye's shoulder.

This young man still had excitement on his face, but his dark red eyes gave him a hint of old age.

"This kid seems to have taken stimulants recently. He has been watching movies and TV series all day long looking for suitable roles. I have advised him several times, but it doesn't work."

Ning Hao spread his hands, indicating that he had done his best.

"Brother, it's okay. I just endured a few days. When I was studying, I endured more than I do now."

Wen Muye held the documents with seemingly endless enthusiasm.

"How old were you then? How old are you now? As your senior, I have to remind you that you need to be in good health to enjoy this life."

Ning Hao smiled in a sly way, and looked as if there was something else behind his words.

Li Mu rolled his eyes at Ning Hao, this guy only taught bad things.

"Give me the document first, and go back to sleep. We can discuss it together tomorrow."

Li Mu took the document from Wen Muye's hand. He didn't plan to study it at this time. It would probably take a long time to discuss this thing, and he really had to take a good look at it first.

Seeing this, Wen Muye did not insist and left first.

Ning Hao shook his neck and said, "Open it and see who this kid has chosen."

Li Mu also directly opened the list of candidate roles selected by Wen Muye.

The two of them browsed for a while and then nodded at the same time.

"He has done his homework. It seems that all the late nights he has stayed up lately have not been in vain. I would say he is very intelligent!"

Ning Hao was very proud of himself. After all, he could be considered a talent scout because he had discovered Wen Muye in advance.

"It's true. Some people think the same as I do."

Li Mu nodded. Some of these people were not particularly famous, so he really had to watch their representative works carefully before making a decision.

"I just don't know if the schedule is suitable?"

"Come on, send the invitation letter for your movie. Unless you really can't find a schedule, who would refuse it?"

There was nothing wrong with what Ning Hao said. After all, a lot of people were eager to participate in his movie when he sent out invitations, let alone Li Mu's.

"Operation Red Sea" has now exceeded 44 billion, setting a new domestic box office record.
Li Mu was still studying the list. Some of the people who were not very important could be decided directly without any problems and there was no need for discussion.

Ning Hao picked up his phone. After all, although he was the producer of Li Mu's crew, he didn't need to put in any effort in this area.

"Old Li, how was Jane Zhang's wedding a few days ago?" Ning Hao suddenly asked a random question.

"It's okay. Why are you asking this?" Li Mu didn't even raise his head.

"No, it seems that Jane Zhang's mother has come out and posted again, saying that she was not informed of the wedding, and that the previous 'happy ending' was Feng Ke threatening me with Jane Zhang's life. Tsk, this news is quite explosive."

Ning Hao felt that it would be better if there were melon seeds at this time.

They've only been married for two days and already there's been a lot of uproar.

"Based on my many years of experience, although Jane Zhang's mother is a little weird, it is probably Jane Zhang's problem, and her mother should still be relatively rational.

It’s not easy for Feng Ke to rise from a manager to his current position.”

Ning Hao continued to analyze it.

"You should say it in front of Jane Zhang. What's the point of saying it to me?" Li Mu was a little speechless. There was still too little work for the producer.

"Hey, isn't this just a prediction? When the truth comes out, we'll know if it's accurate or not!"

"In December, predict the World Cup and you'll get rich!"

"."

At night, Li Mu was teasing the little bun's face.

The little bun is wearing an orange coat, which sets off his fair and tender little face, and he looks so chubby and cute.

Liu Yifei was absent-minded and was always replying to WeChat messages.

"Who?"

"Who else could it be? Jingying." Liu Yifei sighed.

Li Mu could probably guess that this was probably a complaint.

"Amu, I don't think this is a solution. I plan to find a chance to have a good talk with Jingying!" Liu Yifei felt that she still had to do something for her friend.

"Okay, be careful with your words, but don't do it right away. After all, you just got married. Maybe if you wait a little longer, she might take the initiative to find you."

Li Mu didn't think Liu Yifei was wrong to do this. After all, they were really good friends, but even good friends need to be careful about their distance. "I know this. If it doesn't work, you can teach me when the time comes." Liu Yifei smiled and dragged Li Mu's hand, as if she was leaning on him.

Leaning on Li Mu, she could feel at ease and developed a strong sense of dependence.

Li Mu gently held Liu Yifei in his arms.

The little bun was sitting on the sofa at the moment, tilting his head and looking at the two of them, as if to say, why is no one paying attention to me?
The next day, the first-day box office of "Billy Lynn's Long Half-Life" directed by Li An in mainland China was also released, which was only 2446.4 million yuan (including the preview box office). It was inferior to "Doctor Strange", which had been released for 8 days and had a lower screening volume and lower average ticket price, and ranked second in a single day.

With such high popularity, the film only achieved a box office revenue of over 20 million, which really surprised the industry.

You know, this movie is directed by "The Pride of Chinese" director Li An, and uses ultra-high technical specifications of 3D, 4K, and 120 frames, which is full of gimmicks.

However, there is a heated discussion on the Internet at this moment.

"I don't think 120 FPS is particularly impressive. Apart from being clearer, it doesn't give you a higher quality experience. For the average viewer, I would recommend 60 FPS or 24 FPS."

"This film is very satirical to Americans, so the reviews in the US will be very low. I believe the reviews here will be higher. But I don't think it will reach the level that Ang Lee originally gave it, maybe four stars or so."

"It's okay, but it's not my type. I just want to try something new this time."

Although the word of mouth seems to be okay, it does not attract Chinese people to watch the movie, and the first day's box office gave the answer.

The one who was most unwilling to accept this result was Dong.

"Forget it, just treat it as buying a horse bone with a huge sum of money and build friendship."

Yu Dong had already thought of the loss of this movie, which would most likely be terrible. Although it was like buying a horse bone with a fortune, this horse bone was really expensive.

"Mr. Yu!" Yu Dong's secretary knocked on the door and then walked over with a document.

"Mr. Yu, the North American box office data is out."

Yu Dong took the document from the secretary and suddenly felt blinded because it clearly said $352
Yu Dong felt his breathing become much faster. This movie only had a six-digit box office in North America, and this is Li An.

Moreover, the investment in this movie exceeds 4000 million US dollars. With this result, I am afraid that all the money will be lost.

At the same time, major media websites have been reporting on the incident frantically.

"Lee An's new film "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" received a cold reception at the North American box office, with a first-day opening of $35, far lower than the first-day opening of 2446.4 million RMB in China."

"Billy Lynn's Long Half-Life has a much lower reputation in North America than in China, and most foreign media reviews are negative!"

"Why Europeans and Americans no longer buy Li An's movies? Revealing the story behind "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk"

"."

This work, which was thought to achieve excellent results, unexpectedly ended up in such a state, which really excited the media.

This traffic is so cool.

Feng Xiaogang also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. After all, "Billy Lynn's Long Half-Bovary" and "I Am Not Madame Bovary" were released only one week apart. If the box office of "Billy Lynn's Long Half-Bovary" was too strong, it would inevitably affect "I Am Not Madame Bovary".

And this is not the first time that the two have met during the schedule. The 2012 "" and "Life of Pi" are such scenes.

"Life of Pi" was released first, but in the end it surpassed "1942", which really made him depressed.

Now he had to prove himself once, Feng Xiaogang secretly encouraged himself.

On the other side, Ning Hao, Li Mu and Wen Muye were discussing the roles in "Dying to Survive" in the office.

"Zhou Yiwei played Cao Bin and Wang Chuanjun played Lü Shouyi, and they were decided right away. But how did you choose Tan Zhuo, and why did you list her as the first choice?"

Li Mu pointed at the character of Liu Sihui and was very curious. Although Tan Zhuo had good acting skills, he was like an unknown person in the industry. How did Wen Muye choose him?

In Li Mu's setting, the role of Liu Sihui requires a girl who is sexy, innocent and wild. The first thing is that this role must be a woman who is both maternal and sexy.

With this setting, Muye found several people, one of whom was Tan Zhuo, and the other was Yu Nan.
"Director Li, when I was watching Hello! Mr. Tree, I was deeply impressed by Tan Zhuo's 'Mute Bride'. I feel that he is more suitable than Yu Nan."

Wen Muye even took out his computer to show Li Mu and Ning Hao the scene where Tan Zhuo played the "dumb bride" in Hello! Mr. Tree.

“It took a lot of effort!”

Li Mu smiled and gave his affirmation. Although talent is a factor here, it does take hard work to find the right one among so many actors.

Ning Hao also nodded. He read this section carefully and compared it with Liu Sihui's setting, it was indeed good.

"What about this Zhang Yu?"

Li Mu pointed downwards and saw that Wen Muye had assigned the role of Huang Mao (Peng Hao) to Zhang Yu.

Although this role is a supporting role, but after the character is explored in depth, his expressiveness is not inferior to the second male lead. He is a role that does not have many lines but is able to stand out.

"I recommended this to him. When he was watching the movie, he kept muttering that he wanted to find someone who had a lot of experiences but was young and had pure eyes. I immediately thought of Zhang Yu and recommended him.

I met Zhang Yu when I was preparing for The Golden Robbery. His acting skills are really good. It’s just a pity that our collaboration didn’t happen. I think this role is quite suitable for him.”
