Chapter 762: No Pay? The Magic Needle

After the May Day period, a giant giant almost locked up the subsequent film industry market.

"Avengers 3" is about to be released. For domestic movies released in May, it is like a mountain. Many movies are avoiding it to avoid becoming cannon fodder.

At the same time, Li Mu was watching Liu Yifei in the video showing off her costume for the FIRST Youth Film Festival press conference today.

Liu Yifei herself has a very charming figure.

The graceful swan neck is slender and long, the white chin is rounded as if it was carved, the lips are small but rosy and plump, the clear eyes are full of smiles, and the long and smooth black hair is changed from the usual state and tied into a high ponytail, matched with a summer white T-shirt and azure blue jeans, which can be said to be a collection of vitality and youth.

"Does this fit the style of a youth film festival press conference? It's youthful enough, right?"

Liu Yifei had a big smile on her face, revealing two rows of neat little teeth.

"You should attend the Junior Film Festival press conference. You're just the right age."

Li Mu smiled and said, this wasn't about asking him to see if the outfit was suitable, this was clearly about wanting him to praise her, Li Mu naturally understood what she meant.

As expected, after hearing what Li Mu said, Liu Yifei's smile widened, and she just said coquettishly:
"How can it be so exaggerated? You are just trying to find nice words to comfort me."

"Okay, take a quick nap at noon. I'll put on some makeup and get ready to go."

Liu Yifei urged and was about to hang up the phone. After all, Li Mu still had to shoot in the afternoon. No one could bear the high-intensity task without sufficient rest.

"Where is my daughter?" Li Mu asked hurriedly.

"Her, yes." Liu Yifei smiled and turned the camera to the little bun in the living room.

The little girl in a pink dress was holding a small yellow ball. Her fair little hands seemed to be throwing it forward with great effort, but the distance she threw was not far.

Next door is a gray and white Alaskan, still in its cute period. Its four short legs seem ready to go. The moment the ball is thrown, it kicks forward with its front and back feet. All the flesh in its body seems to be moving, but it just can't run fast.

Then, he happily came to the little bun with the little yellow ball in his mouth, and his honest dog face seemed to be waiting for praise.

"Ala, be good." The little bun gently touched Ala's head with his little hand, and the latter seemed even happier, and the dog's tail was about to turn into a fan.

"Dad!" The little boy turned around and saw Li Mu on the screen and shouted happily.

"Dad, I'm so awesome, look at me"

The little bun demonstrated it to Li Mu again, and Ala also cooperated very actively.

"Great, great!" Li Mu gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, okay, Dad is going to take a nap at noon. Let's talk in the evening, okay?"

Liu Yifei squatted down and gently touched the little bun's fair and tender face, then hung up the phone while the little bun said goodbye.

"Liu Yifei attended the press conference of the 12th FIRST Youth Film Festival. She said that the FIRST Youth Film Festival is an ideal and promising film festival, and she hopes it can help young directors and all those who love movies."

In the evening, Li Mu occasionally glanced at the media reports and saw the news about the FIRST Youth Film Festival.

As one of the few influential film festivals in the country, it is still quite popular in the film and television circles, and reports on it have been placed on the headlines of the entertainment section by several major portals.

However, at this time, the headlines of major entertainment sections have quietly changed to Cannes special topics.

As the world's largest film festival, it is still a destination that filmmakers around the world yearn for even today.

Just under the special topic, the topic queen Fan Binbin appeared again, but this time the topic really made her a little embarrassed.

Because when Fan Binbin arrived at Nice Airport in France for the "Cannes" event, he was asked for his autograph by enthusiastic foreign passers-by.

While Fan Binbin was signing a pile of photos, a photo of Li Binbin unexpectedly appeared.

Naturally, there were many media waiting at the airport, and the reports came as soon as they came.

"Awkward! If it were me, I would definitely be embarrassed."

"I don't know what Fan Binbin was thinking at that time."

“I think everyone wants to tear up that photo.”

"."

Everyone in the crew is in the same industry and they are all very keen on topics and gossip in the industry.

While Li Mu was giving instructions to the crew on various matters, he could hear some people's discussions while chatting.

On May 5, the film and television industry welcomed the Hollywood blockbuster "Avengers 11". Even Li Mu and the crew who were far away at the film and television base could hear all kinds of information.

There is no doubt that the movie seems to have been a blast again on the first day.

The only thing that makes the industry feel fortunate is that the first-day box office record seems to still remain in the country.

According to Maoyan's real-time box office list, at around 11:11 on the 3th, the box office of "Avengers 3.8" had reached million yuan, approaching million yuan.

But this monster did not stop. On the second day, it directly took in 4.9 million yuan at the box office and almost broke 5 million yuan.

The cinemas are very happy, but the pity is that domestic films are almost forgotten by the audience.

As for the crew, a scaled-down wrap-up party was held for Ng Mang-tat on the same day.

The filming was stopped and started many times due to health reasons, and finally the scenes involving Ng Mang-tat were completed.

"Come on, everyone, let's toast Uncle Da, especially you two." Li Mu raised his glass, smiled and patted Qu Chuxiao's shoulder.

After all, the two of them and Wu Mengda have more scenes.

"Grandpa Wu, I've done it. You can do whatever you want. Thank you for your guidance during this period." "Grandpa Wu, I don't know how to drink yet. I, I..."

Zhao Jinmai picked up the glass full of juice, feeling a little at a loss.

"No problem, just let the girl drink the juice.

Come to think of it, I have to thank you. I have been in poor health during this period, please don't mind. "

It seems that Wu Mengda can't even stand straight, and his hunched figure seems to be a true reflection of his current age.

"Alright, alright, everyone wish Uncle Da good health!"

"In good health."

"."

Just like that, after the wrap party, Wu Mengda left in the car arranged by the crew.

But the story of the rest of the characters still has to continue.

But the next day, Guo Fan sat next to Li Mu, glanced at the people around him, and whispered, "Brother, Uncle Da was hospitalized immediately after returning."

"Huh?" Li Mu was slightly startled. "Is the situation serious?"

"I got the news that it's an old problem. I guess it's because filming our movie was too tiring. After all, the exoskeleton armor weighing dozens of kilograms is too much for the old man to bear, and the filming time was delayed for quite a long time."

"Too!"

Just then, the project leader called Li Mu.

"Director Li, Uncle Tat just said that he doesn't want his salary, and he wants to use it for the post-production of the movie. He is satisfied with being able to shoot this movie."

Li Mu was also a little surprised when he heard it, and then he quickly said: "This won't work, you still have to pay what you should pay, and continue to pay according to the contract."

His movie does not lack this little salary. The highest paid actor here is Wu Jing, but Wu Jing's salary is also at a friendly price. As for the other newcomers, their salaries are even cheaper. Originally, all the production costs are spent on various props and post-production.

"clear."

After Li Mu hung up the phone, he thought about it and then called Wu Mengda directly.

"Uncle Da, I know your intention, but I can't accept it. We don't need money for this movie, don't worry, the post-production will definitely be of super quality."

"Ahem, okay, Director Li, I hope you can make a science fiction film that is completely Chinese, so that I can act in it, and my life will be worth it."

Wu Mengda was lying on a hospital bed in Xiangjiang at this moment. He supported the bed board with his left hand slightly, moved his body, and finally let his body rest on the backrest.

"It will definitely be worth it." Li Mu said confidently.

Hearing what Li Mu said, a smile appeared on Wu Mengda's pale face.

The weight of these words is completely different from that of other directors. Moreover, having shot the film himself and seen the shooting scene, he naturally believes in it very much.

This year's Cannes is in full swing. This place on the Cote d'Azur in southern France has ushered in a pinnacle red carpet event.

As the world's largest film festival, the cast of the Cannes red carpet has always been top-notch, and this year is especially so.

After all, this is the year of a fresh start after the 70th anniversary celebration, so the more stars the better.

This year's "Chinese Army" lineup is even more powerful. After all, Chinese filmmakers are present in every section of Cannes. Coupled with the invitations from brands, the number of people participating this time cannot be counted on one hand.

Just because of the red carpet incident, this time it attracted the attention of the global media again.

Because this time Ma Su came to Cannes with the movie "Like a Shadow" directed by Huo Jianqi, and then Ma Su stayed on the red carpet for a full six minutes and refused to leave no matter how hard they tried.

You have to know that the Cannes red carpet is 60 meters long, and it can be walked in 30 seconds at a normal pace, and there is a set time.

"Xiu'er, you are so brave."

"Didn't this guy fall out of favor because of the Li Xiaolu incident?"

"Last year, I remember that all the judges, including Liu Yifei, finished their work within two minutes. Isn't this a bit too much?"

However, before netizens had finished mocking her for these 6 minutes, the next day the media released another 9-minute long video of her walking on the red carpet.

This is a red carpet video of Wang Likun and Kiko Mizuhara. In the video, the two of them are trying out various looks, both imaginable and unimaginable.

Even the photographer was tired and had to squat down to take pictures of pigeons. The two of them still walked in a Z shape on the red carpet, turning the 60-meter red carpet into 120 meters.

The 9 minutes in Cannes directly broke the time record for extreme sports on the red carpet.

"Awesome! These two are like spinning tops, spinning around on the red carpet!"

"Kiko Mizuhara is still better. According to my calculation, she walked at least 240 meters. Wang Likun is slightly behind."

"I burst out laughing when I saw the photographer was so bored that he was taking pictures of pigeons, but how did these two stay so calm when no one was taking pictures of them?"

"."

Netizens were stunned by the two’s actions.

"Although it was ridiculed, I have to say the effect is still good. No wonder he has to stay there." Guo Fanchigua commented.

"No one is that stupid. It must be profitable. Stop eating melons and let them prepare quickly."

Seeing that he had rested enough, Li Mu relaxed his shoulders and stood up.
