Chapter 779 Get involved
The honest man's dark history caused him to lose a large number of middle-aged female fans. It is said that many fans have gone on strike at home. Some netizens even posted articles complaining that they did not have a good Mid-Autumn Festival because their mothers were so disappointed that they did not want to cook.

There are many jokes about losing fans on the Internet, but in the joyful atmosphere of the topic, there are still many people with a strong desire to explore and learn who are digging deep into the cheating of the honest uncle.

As I was eating, I found the smiling girl Tang Yixin.

However, compared to this romantic scandal, many people in the industry noticed that the film and television company under his name seemed to be caught up in complicated business disputes.

Embezzlement, fraud with investors, private engraving of official seals... Almost all the scenes in the movie happened in the film and television companies under Wu Xiubo's name, which is jaw-dropping.

"He was set up by someone."

Ning Hao was also a discerning man and he guessed it at a glance.

Li Mu nodded silently.

Liu Yifei and Xing Aina, on the side, were chatting about their kids, and they looked quite happy.

This time, several people were invited to participate in the premiere of Zhang Yimou's "Shadow".

As a film produced by Zhang Yimou, the treatment of "Shadow" is naturally a level higher than that of other films.

However, "Wushuang", produced by Bona and Alibaba, is also having its premiere tonight, and the two films seem to be competing against each other during the National Day holiday.

The show that Maoyan picked up was "Shadow", so Li Mu naturally came to participate.

This year's National Day movie season is also lively and crowded, with more than a dozen works competing with each other.

At this time, more and more people were entering the theater, and Li Mu's side had obviously become the place for greeting the many guests who came to support.

"By the way, are you interested in shooting a tribute film?" Li Mu's sudden question caught Ning Hao off guard.

"Are you talking about the 70th anniversary tribute that is rumored in the industry?" Ning Hao said uncertainly.

"Well, this movie is shot in units, and they will select directors for each unit. I think you will be considered."

"Then let's talk about it after we find it." Ning Hao didn't care.

Seeing this, Li Mu realized that Ning Hao had no intention of refusing, and he understood.

As Zhang Yi and the main creators introduced their experiences during the filming of the film on stage, the film began in dimmed lights.

For directors like Li Mu and Ning Hao, the story of the film is not complicated, and you can probably guess the ending after watching the beginning.

The two praised the film's classical Chinese ink painting style and the visual experience of ultimate oriental beauty.

"I can't capture this kind of beauty." Ning Hao whispered at this moment, and he had to admit that directors like Zhang Yi and Chen Kai were indeed very accomplished in this area.

“No wonder the Internet is so supportive of this movie.”

"Shadow" won great acclaim at both the Venice International Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, with a 90% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a Matascore of 88. It was even praised by foreigners as "Zhang Yimou's most amazing film."

Li Mu couldn't help but nod slowly. This kind of color aesthetics was also an area where he still needed to improve.

"The picture of Sister Sun Li in it is so beautiful." Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh.

However, in Li Mu's opinion, the only pity about this movie is that if the story could be refined a little more, it might have been able to go a step further.

However, the audience at the premiere also gave applause at this moment.

Obviously, he is quite satisfied with this movie.

"How was it?" Zhang Yi asked Li Mu and Ning Hao after the premiere.

"A master-level visual experience, brother, the filming is really good." Li Mu really likes the visuals in it, "but the story is a little weak, which is a pity."

"Hahaha, I had the same feeling, but I only realized it when I was taking the photo. It's too late." Zhang Yi said with a hint of regret.

Ning Hao also praised the film generously, but did not mention the story.

The smoke of war for the National Day holiday has completely filled the air, as can be seen from the various reports that evening.

"The premiere of Zhang Yimou's Shadow has received amazing reviews, recreating the style of classical Chinese ink painting and providing a visual experience of the ultimate oriental beauty."

"At the premiere of "Wushuang", the audience applauded loudly. "Get Rich" has secured the C position in the National Day file!"

"."

Various reports on the two films were ranked first and second on major portals.

However, the day before National Day, which was also the day when the two films were released, Li Mu and Liu Yifei were invited to have dinner with Chen Kai and Chen Hong in a private restaurant.

"Junior brother, I need your help this time." Brother Chen Kai saw that he had finished half of his meal, so he just spoke.

"Is it about the tribute film?"

Li Mu roughly guessed that this was it, after all, Brother Chen Kai didn't have any other projects on hand.

"This project is really a hot potato. If I had known it, I would not have taken it on that day." Brother Chen Kai smiled helplessly.

Li Mu smiled helplessly. Brother Chen Kai was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. Zhang Yi might not accept the tribute film project, but Brother Chen Kai would definitely accept it if he had the chance.

"After discussing with Director Huang, I decided to find seven directors with the most representative styles in the Chinese film industry. There are several directors under Mengying Media who need help from my junior brother."

"How about this, I'll organize a party during the National Day and let everyone meet up. It just so happens that everyone is free, but Guo Fan and Lu Yang might have some schedule issues," Li Mu suggested after thinking for a while.

He couldn't help Ning Hao and the others make a decision directly, so naturally, Brother Chen Kai and Huang Jianxin had to talk to them. He just had to act as a bridge and save them the trouble. "Okay, that's it. Director Huang and I will handle the rest." Brother Chen Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xixi, bring the little bun with you next time. I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her so much. This doll was specially bought by Lao Chen when he went to the United States last time."

Before leaving, Chen Hong gave a special gift to Xiao Baozi.

"It seems like Director Chen is under a lot of pressure," Liu Yifei said to Li Mu in the car. She had noticed it during the dinner.

"It's inevitable to feel stressed. After all, it's a tribute to the 70th anniversary, and the requirements are probably not low. You must be worried."

After returning home, Li Mu talked about this matter in the group and sought everyone's opinions.

"Director Li, I don't think I'm free now, "Assassination of Novelist"."

“Me too.”

Lu Yang and Guo Fan were not too impressed by this.

"Come on first. I've told you guys about your situation, but at least you should come out and save face."

Li Mu replied in the group.

The two of them understood instantly and gave each other an OK expression.

"Do you want to shoot what Director Li mentioned?" Xing Aina also saw the message and immediately asked Ning Hao.

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll take it if I can." Ning Hao said indifferently, "Besides, making this movie will also be good for us. Lao Li wants an investment quota, and I heard that he is bidding with Bona and Alibaba."

"It's normal for Director Li to want to do this. After all, there aren't many opportunities like this. He should show his face more often."

"."

"Director Li, do you have any plays? I don't think I can get a spot, so I can only be listed as a co-producer."

Wang Changtian was not idle on the first day of National Day and was still working.

"It's hard to say, but I have some hope."

Li Mu didn't know what the final result would be, but he hoped that Mengying would be a few points higher than Guangguang.

At the same time, the box office figures of several National Day movies on September 9 were also released.

Zhang Yimou's "Shadow" topped the list with a first-day performance of 6600 million, and the second place was "Wushuang", which won more than 5400 million.

Obviously, Zhang Yimou's appeal on the first day is still there, but the audience group of the film is obviously still much lower than that of pure commercial films such as "Wushuang".

Tao Piaopiao also launched a fierce offensive on the first day of National Day, leveraging the "counterfeit money" theme of "Wushuang".

"Tao Piaopiao is quite good at choosing the right time."

Li Mu smiled faintly as he looked at the rapidly growing publicity data of "Wushuang". It was obvious that Tao Piaopiao had struck a heavy blow.

Maoyan probably won’t win the National Day battle, Li Mu knows this very well, but “Shadow” still cannot fall behind in publicity.

On the second day of its release, "Wushuang" won the championship with 8800 million, surpassing the second place "Shadow" by more than 600 million, which was still quite close.

It is just obvious that this gap will widen later.

At this time, in the conference room of Mengying Media, Chen Kaige, Huang Jianxin, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Lu Yang, Guo Fan, Wen Muye, Wu Ershan, and Xue Xiaolu gathered together.

"Mr. Fu is not here?" Li Mu asked Huang Jianxin in a low voice. After all, Huaxia Distribution is the producer of this film, and its rights are decisive.

"Mr. Fu said that he has no objection to whoever is chosen. It all depends on who takes the photo. Of course, if there are too many people, that won't work."

Huang Jianxin smiled awkwardly.

After all, there are only seven units, and it is impossible to use one hill for all of them. The industry would probably have big objections to that.

Li Mu was naturally very clear about it, but he didn't stay here any longer. How to talk about it was up to Brother Chen Kai and Huang Jianxin.

"By the way, congratulations to Director Li." Huang Jianxin suddenly laughed softly.

"Hmm?" Li Mu hesitated and then his face showed joy, "I have to thank Director Huang."

"I didn't help much. In the end, it was Mr. Fu and his team who made the decision. However, the main theme movies of Mengying Media in recent years did help."

Huang Jianxin naturally congratulated the producer of this tribute film on the bidding, and it was obvious that Mengying Media was selected.

Near noon, Li Mu yawned and saw everyone coming out, talking and laughing. It seemed that both sides were very satisfied.

As soon as Li Mu asked, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Xue Xiaolu and Wen Muye accepted the task. For this tribute film, most of the selection work was completed.

"Let's have lunch. We are all tired. I have booked a place." Li Mu said with a faint smile.

"Come on, you can't do this, right, Director Huang? We have to pay for this meal, since we are new members."

Brother Chen Kai couldn't help but feel happy after successfully completing more than half of the selection. He finally had some clues, and he was very satisfied with the people he selected.

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't argue, let's just eat some food together."
