Chapter 699 The past can only be recalled

Zhou Yang's wedding was held on May 5th in Koh Samui, Thailand.

Koh Samui has always been known for its romance, privacy and luxury, and is a benchmark for luxury vacations in Thailand.

The two boarded a private plane on the 5th and flew directly there.

"I haven't been to the island for a long time. It feels really different."

Liu Yifei raised her hands high and jumped happily on the beach, feeling the breeze from the ocean, which was particularly comfortable.

The two had already met Zhou Yang, put down their luggage, and strolled on the beach.

"Cannes is enough for you to feel."

Li Mu was wearing beach pants, sunglasses, holding a coconut in his hand, and lying on a chair.

It is indeed particularly comfortable to have such a vacation occasionally, and it makes him look forward to his subsequent trip to Cannes.

Because he had nothing to do during the entire Cannes event and was almost a free man. Although Liu Yifei had to be a judge and watch movies during the day, he was still free at night.

In the evening, Zhou Yang specially invited Li Mu and Liu Yifei to dinner.

"Sissi, congratulations. You won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival last time, and this time you will be a member of the Cannes jury. You have reached a new level in your acting career."

Although Zhou Yang has semi-retired from the entertainment industry, she still has some attachment to the acting career.

"It's all luck. Without Ah Mu, I wouldn't have won these awards."

Liu Yifei smiled happily. Now she has a successful career and a happy family. Her life is almost perfect.

The next day was Zhou Yang's wedding day. It was also Liu Yifei's second time as a bridesmaid. She looked fresh and beautiful in an iron-gray gauze dress.

There were not many people from the industry who came this time, only Zhou Yang’s friends in the circle, Mo Xiaoqi, Li Danni, Wang Liwen, Zhou Ting and others.

Li Mu casually took a few photos of Liu Yifei holding flowers.

"Does it look good?"

"Well, it turns out that I'm much better at taking pictures than you are at taking selfies." Li Mu handed over the phone confidently.

Liu Yifei slid her hands a few times and said, "Emm, it's so ugly. My selfies look better."

"Look at me."

Liu Yifei took out her mobile phone with a smile, then made a scissors hand gesture and took a selfie.

"Come on, Yangyang, come here, let's take a picture."

Then Liu Yifei called Zhou Yang over and the two took a selfie.

"Xixi, your scissor hand is still the same as before." Zhou Yang covered his mouth and laughed, "Li Mu, it's been so long, why don't you give Xixi some other poses for taking photos."

"This is good, there is no need to change it."

Li Mu shrugged.

"That's right, classics never go out of style." Liu Yifei responded confidently and immediately began to write her Weibo.

"Your kindness, righteousness, wisdom, elegance, and of course cool courage are what I have always admired. I am honored to witness your romantic moment today. I hope all your moments will be as memorable as today."

"."

Zhou Yang's wedding also ended at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Liu Yifei seemed to have accomplished a major event in her life and was full of emotion on the plane.

"Everyone is getting married one by one. Time seems to be passing by so quickly."

When Liu Yifei thought of this, her eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist. Thinking back to the early 2000s, it seemed like just yesterday, but now everyone is already in their thirties.

"Time has passed and can never return, the past can only be recalled."

Li Mu smiled lightly.

"Ah!" Liu Yifei was immediately reminded of Li Mu's words, "Isn't this that song? What's it called?"

"What's your name?" Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei, who seemed to be about to blurt out the name but seemed to be stuck, and couldn't help but find it funny.

"Well, let me think about it. I can definitely figure it out." Liu Yifei was a little anxious, her fingers still shaking, as if the answer was just around the corner.

But after a while, Liu Yifei looked depressed and said, "I can't think of it. The name is right on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't say it."

"In fact, the answer lies in what I said."

Li Mu smiled faintly and touched Liu Yifei's little head.

"Oh, I remember, 'The Past Can Only Be Relived'."

"."

On the other hand, Dangal, which was facing internal and external difficulties, received good reputation and box office in its first week of preview, and won 4400 million on the first day, which was not easy.

After all, there is also "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" in the same period.

Wanda is indeed trying to kill off all the enemies. Not only are the screenings in Wanda cinemas close to zero, but most cinemas have only arranged one show, and that's in a VIP theater with a ticket price of more than 150 yuan. Who would be willing to spend so much money to watch a 2D movie?

This simply means that there is no scheduling at all.

"Director Li, thank you for this time."

Ye Ning is now relieved to have achieved this result. Although it is not particularly good, the reputation is there, and this result is achieved in a country where, except for Wanda, the average screening share is only around 10%.

Seeing this, major cinema chains have also begun to increase their screening schedules, which is good news for "Dangal".

"It's okay. Mengying also made money."

Li Mu smiled lightly.

Wanda is likely to fail in this attempt to strangle Huaying Tianxia, ​​because the following "Dangal" directly won 9700 million on Saturday, and the box office potential is obviously sufficient.

Wanda did not seem to care too much about the defeat. However, in an interview with the Financial Times in the UK, he bluntly expressed his views on Wanda's film companies and works.

"I haven't seen The Great Wall yet, so I really can't give a specific evaluation. In short, we think that it has not met our expectations in terms of content or box office."

These words show that the actor is very dissatisfied with the performance of "The Great Wall", which will cause trouble for Zhang Yimou's subsequent cooperation with Wanda.

Fortunately, Zeng Maojun quickly added this point in the interview with Sina:
"In fact, we could have predicted this before the film was released. Director Zhang Yimou's artistic achievements have made many people envious, jealous and hate him. In addition, many of Zhang Yimou's films in the past few years have not been so commercially successful.

People use the standards of art films to judge his commercial films, which will be problematic. Many people find fault with director Zhang Yimou, but there are also many people who like him. We need to find out the people who really like him.”

In May, Li Mu began to focus on "Aquaman", and the first thing he needed to pay attention to was the casting issue.

Warner has provided a list of actors. After all, as one of the six major companies in Hollywood, its resources are basically unimpeded as long as they do not touch the core personnel of other film industries, such as letting Scarlett Johansson play "Aquaman".

"Forget it, I'll take my time choosing while on vacation."

Li Mu closed the list and stretched himself, because the opening ceremony of Cannes on May 5 was coming soon.

"Mom, we have made arrangements. You can bring your kid over here in a week."

"understood."

Mother Liu nodded.

Li's mother didn't want to go to Cannes, and she hadn't been back to Guangzhou to chat with relatives for a long time, so she planned to go back and stay for a few weeks this time.

In this way, Li Mu and Liu Yifei boarded a private plane and headed directly to Cannes.

As the most prestigious film festival in the world, the Cannes Film Festival has always been the focus of global attention.

In addition, this year marks the 70th anniversary of Cannes, and the attention is greater than ever.

But what’s interesting is that Gong Li was a judge on the 50th anniversary, Maggie Cheung was a judge on the 60th anniversary, and this year is the 70th anniversary of Cannes, and Cannes chose Liu Yifei.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, or if this ancient film festival always likes to receive blessings from the East on its birthday?
But it’s a bit unfortunate that no Chinese-language films were shortlisted this time.

However, there will definitely be many Chinese-language filmmakers attending the film festival. After all, this is a great opportunity for publicity and a good time to sell films globally.

Brother Chen Kai has already told Li Mu that this time, "Legend of the Demon Cat" specially released a special promotional video for the Cannes Film Festival in order to sell the film at this Cannes Film Festival.

When Li Mu and Liu Yifei arrived in Cannes, what caught their eyes was the huge poster with the word "70" in large letters against a red background.

The poster is based on a photo of famous Italian actress Claudia Cardinale dancing barefoot in Rome in 1959.
