Chapter 705: A soldier never tires of deceit
Warner's superhero blockbuster "Wonder Woman" held a press conference in China, officially kicking off the "Imported Blockbuster Month" in June.

"Wonder Woman" is different from Warner Bros.' previous superhero movies "Man of Steel" and "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", which received poor reviews. "Wonder Woman" received surprisingly good reviews after its release in North America.

The film has a 96% freshness (positive rating) on ​​the famous film review website Rotten Tomatoes.

Entertainment Weekly gave it a score of 91, praising the film for being smart, skillful, and satisfying all the audience's requirements for a superhero movie.

This overwhelming reputation made Warner CEO Jeff Bueckers particularly happy.

DC's weakness seems to have improved.

"This could be a billion-dollar hit in the DC Universe."

Jeff Bueckers spoke to Li Mu with confidence at the press conference.

"maybe."

Li Mu smiled faintly and did not deny it. There was no need to make things worse at this time. After all, DC's superheroes were already feeling frustrated enough.

"Lee, the casting for Aquaman is imminent. What do you think of the list we gave you?"

Jeff Bueckers watched producer Deborah Snyder, director Patty Jenkins and lead actress Gal Gadot still talking about the behind-the-scenes matters of the movie on the stage, and quickly asked about the next blockbuster.

"I have no objection to the selection of King Orm and Black Manta. I will follow the list you recommended. I have invited Nicole Kidman to play the role of Queen Atlanna."

Li Mu did not take a complete vacation in Cannes. He had already preliminarily selected some roles for "Aquaman".

Jeff Bueckers nodded and said, "Nicole? She is indeed suitable. We will send an invitation later."

"By the way, I don't think the list of recommended male and female protagonists is quite suitable." Li Mu said lightly, "For the male protagonist Arthur Curry, I think Jason Momoa's image is very suitable. The roles he played in the two American TV series, "Stargate: Atlantis" and "Game of Thrones", are quite good.
I checked his information. Jason Momoa has four bloodlines. The complex bloodline makes him naturally have an exotic aura, which is very suitable for the setting of Aquaman.

"Horse King?"

Jeff Vieux recalled the little-known actor.

His most famous screen role is the role of King of the Horse in "Game of Thrones", but King of the Horse did not last beyond the first season and was killed in the final episode of the series.

But in just one season, he left a deep impression on the audience.

"Does he speak English?"

Jeff Bueckers asked a question that left Li Mu speechless.

"what?"

"Oh, I heard from many producers that he doesn't speak English," Jeff Vieux explained, spreading his hands.

". Ask him to come over and try it out and you'll know."

Li Mu couldn't help but find it funny.

After filming "Game of Thrones" in his previous life, no one invited Jason Momoa to film a movie for several years. The reason was that the "Horse King" played by Jason Momoa spoke Valyrian.

Because he played this role so well, many Hollywood producers actually thought he couldn't speak English!
This has to be said to be an embarrassing misunderstanding.

"OK, Warner will invite him to audition."

Jeff Bueckers nodded and then asked again.

"I remember Amber Heard was on the recommended list for the heroine Mera."

"Amber Heard's looks and body are indeed good, but I think that alone is not enough. If I use Jason Momoa as the male lead, which actress do you think the fans would recommend me to use as the female lead?"

Li Mu asked back with a smile, the fans at the time didn't like Amber Heard as the female lead.

Moreover, after Amber Heard's cheating, alcoholism and other scandals were exposed, this "Queen of the Sea" suddenly became the "Female King of the Sea", and her image was torn to pieces. 460 million people signed a petition to Warner, hoping that other female protagonists would be replaced in the second film.

Li Mu didn't want to use such a troublesome woman, even though she was currently dating the future world's richest man, Musk.

"Lee, do you mean to use Emilia Clarke, the actress who plays Daenerys Targaryen?"

Jeff Bueckers' eyes lit up. After Li Mu said this, he immediately thought of
"Of course, there is no black history. The chemistry between her and Jason Momoa in Game of Thrones is excellent. She has an outstanding appearance and figure, and has a large number of fans. The two of them are working together again, and I believe this will set off a new storm."

Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons, and the King of Horses, the two play the King and Queen of the Sea, and just thinking about it will make movie fans excited.

The whole world is quite fond of the character of Daenerys Targaryen and absolutely favors her.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been 460 million people who wanted Emilia Clarke to play the role of Mera.

“It’s a very worthwhile endeavor.”

Jeff Bueckers also felt the power of this duo and could no longer hold back.

"Okay, see you next week."

Seeing that the press conference was over, Li Mu didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and shook hands with Jeff Bueckers, and nodded to several main creative staff of "Wonder Woman".

I have to say that Gal Gadot's appearance is really good nowadays, and "Wonder Woman" really complements Gal Gadot.

"Did Gal Gadot look good at today's press conference? I heard she wore a short skirt." After returning home, Liu Yifei talked to Li Mu with a smile, her eyes narrowed like a cute little fox.

"Is it possible that she wasn't wearing a skirt?"

Li Mu tapped Liu Yifei's head and said, "She was clearly wearing dark blue jeans. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Huh, you even remember the color of someone's jeans."

Liu Yifei folded her arms and looked "hmph", as if the day would not end until I appease her.

"Nonsense, her long legs are swaying in front of me, and I'm not blind."

Li Mu held his hands behind his head, looking very leisurely, which made Liu Yifei so angry that her teeth itched.

"Damn it"

Liu Yifei bit Li Mu's arm without saying a word. At the same time, the little bun, who was right next to her, crawled over with a smile on his face, and imitated Liu Yifei and bit Li Mu's palm as well.

".hiss!"

Li Mu felt an unusual pain in his palm. He opened his eyes and saw the little girl biting his palm with her cute little teeth, with a smile on her face.

Liu Yifei also came back to her senses. Seeing that the little bun was still biting Li Mu's palm and refused to let go, she couldn't help but burst into laughter and then put her hands on her hips:
"See? This is what happens when you bully me."

But seeing that Li Mu looked a little painful, he gently stroked the little bun's hair and said, "Baby, let go. You bit Daddy and hurt him."

The little bun then laughed and opened his mouth.

Children over one year old love to bite people the most. They want to bite everything they see. This time Liu Yifei even demonstrated it, so naturally they followed suit.

"Don't tell me, her six teeth really hurt when she bites you, much more painful than your bite."

Li Mu shook his hand, and it still had flesh.

"Little bastard, how can you understand strength? Do you think it's me who cares so much about you?"

Liu Yifei said with a smile.

The first day results of "Wonder Woman", the first Hollywood blockbuster in June, are finally out. It took in 6 million on Friday, which can only be considered above average.

However, there is no rush for theaters because "Transformers" is the big movie in June.

The film and television industry has entered a period of calm, but Yin Xiaotian has not been on the headlines of entertainment media for a long time since the stabbing incident. However, this time he has once again caused heated discussion because of being deceived into marriage and losing tens of millions.

"How miserable!"

After seeing this, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh. This was really a bad year for him. Both his career and love were hit hard.

"Damn, is there anyone more miserable than Yin Xiaotian?"

"Brother, go get your fortune told. Your forehead is dark, something is wrong."

"Yin Xiaotian has suffered enough after the stabbing incident. How could someone still cheat on him in marriage? Xiaotian, try your best to get custody of the child."

Netizens also offered their condolences.

Because he will be going to Hollywood for an audition for "Aquaman" next week, Li Mu has also begun to arrange the company's affairs, the most urgent of which is the merger of Maoyan and Weying Times.

Recently, Alibaba Pictures issued a slogan that “there will never be a limit” for Tao Piaopiao, which really made Tencent anxious.

But the problem lies in the overall valuation of Microfilm Era.

Tencent does not want to sell at a low price, and also wants more shares after the merger.

"Well, you can invite Tao Piao Piao's executives to dinner a few more times recently. Of course, just eat, don't say anything else."

Li Mu smiled and said that at this time, it was simply a dream to want to stabilize the valuation of Microfilm Times.

"Director Li, this is an interesting idea. Tao Piao Piao is eager to acquire us."

Wang Changtian laughed and said, this is purely putting pressure on Tencent, which is already very anxious, and if there is a chance, Tao Piaopiao will definitely be willing to acquire Maoyan at a premium. After all, Alibaba is not short of money nowadays.

"Okay, Mr. Li."

Zheng Zhihao followed with a smile and said, this trick is often used in business and is an open conspiracy, but even if you know it is a cover, you cannot gamble, because once you bet wrong, you will lose everything in this business field.

"All's fair in war.

By the way, we only need WeChat’s traffic entrance, so we can give a higher premium, but we don’t need the rest.”

Li Mu immediately instructed that after the merger, the WeChat traffic cake must not be wasted, even if the valuation of this traffic entrance is a little higher, it can be accepted.

"Also, let's have a discussion meeting or something about Maoyan's profitability and make it known."

"Director Li, I'm afraid Tencent may not be able to handle this series of moves."

Wang Changtian paused for a moment and nodded repeatedly. If he wanted to lower the price, he would definitely make the other party anxious.
