Chapter 787: "Aquaman" Premiere
November has always been a quiet period in the film and television industry, but the news of Chiang Ching-fu's domestic violence and Liu Qiangdong's romantic affairs in the United States have added a lot of fun to the spectators.

However, in December, the industry will first face the Hollywood blockbuster "Aquaman" directed by Li Mu.

However, in early December this year, almost all low-budget domestic films were trying their luck here, and theaters were also focusing on "Aquaman" which was released on December 12.

The global premiere press conference of "Aquaman" attracted the attention of many movie fans.

Jason Momoa, Emilia Clarke, Nicole Kidman and others had arrived in the imperial capital a day in advance.

However, Jason Momoa, who had been shouting that he wanted to eat authentic food since arriving in the imperial capital, was now eating with relish. Instead, Li Mu was looking at him in surprise.

Emilia Clarke, Nicole Kidman and others did not come because they had to attend the premiere press conference in the evening. After all, as female stars, their makeup and clothes are always more complicated.

"Oh, Lee, this is okay."

Jason Momoa directly picked up the bowl and drank the fried liver, then took a sip of soy milk, which made Li Mu stunned.

He himself doesn't like to eat this stuff. It was just that Jason Momoa insisted on trying some special food, so Li Mu ordered it for him with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Jason Momoa has such a peculiar taste.

"As long as you like to eat."

Jason Momoa looked at Li Mu in surprise, "Li, why don't you eat it yourself?"

"Not used to it."

Li Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had been here for so long but was still not used to this thing. It could only be said that the differences in local diets were still too great.

"Oh, I can understand that. After all, I have lived in different places since I was a child, and I am not used to the food in different places when I first experience it."

Jason Momoa smiled faintly, then ate a fennel bun in one bite, which tasted crunchy.

This was not surprising to Li Mu. After all, Americans have always loved eating fennel, but they usually roast it or simply cut it and throw it into salads.

Warner Bros. held a grand premiere of "Aquaman" at 798 Can in the 751 Art District.

The circular venue was decorated as a gorgeous underwater world, with jellyfish swimming and waterfalls pouring, which was both magical and beautiful. Even the red carpet was turned into a marine-style "blue carpet" that best suited the temperament of the movie.

Li Mu couldn't help but praise Warner for really putting in some effort this time.

When Li Mu and several leading actors came on stage, they were greeted with rounds of applause.

The most surprising thing was Emilia Clarke, who played the "Queen of the Sea". She appeared in a black short skirt. The hollow design on the chest was quite bold and sexy, showing her graceful figure. The charming red lips made her look noble and cold. She was completely different from when she played the Mother of Dragons. She amazed the audience as soon as she appeared!
After all, the red carpet is where female stars shine. Relatively speaking, Nicole Kidman, who is no longer young, looks a little dull, but she is still charming in a white long dress.

It was Jason Momoa who looked more funny, showing a contrast between his muscular figure and his cuteness. He asked the staff to fetch him the weapon he used in the movie - the trident, and broke it in one go, showing off his muscle strength and winning rounds of applause.

Of course, the fans responded with a giant koi pillow, which left Jason Momoa a little confused.

Because he didn't know the meaning of the koi.

"In our country, koi means super luck, you know." Li Mu said with a smile, "Maybe you should take a photo with them."

Li Mu understands his people too well. Before, some netizens spontaneously shared pictures of Aquaman on the Internet and said, "Repost this Aquaman, and all koi will listen to you." Now Aquaman is holding a koi in his hands, and has directly transformed into the "strongest koi." How can he not take some photos?

Under Li Mu's arrangement, Jason Momoa also turned into a photo-taking expert while holding a koi pillow, instantly igniting a photo-taking craze on the scene. Everyone captured this rare "spectacle" and locked in full good luck.

Amidst laughter, the global premiere of "Aquaman" was officially launched.

The media are all looking forward to it. After all, there are so many topics to write about this movie. If the movie is good, there will be a wave of traffic. If it is not so good, there will be even more traffic. Anyway, there will be traffic no matter how much it comes.

However, what caught the audience's eyes was Li Mu's setting for the seabed, a colorful and magical underwater world.

Like an ancient miracle, there are not only colorful and endless underwater transportation vehicles, but also underwater fleets full of mechanical and technological sense.

There are also traditional cold weapons that make you full of exploration and the degraded bloodthirsty culture of the trench tribe.
It fully satisfies people's fantasy about the classical yet advanced underwater world that seems to hide countless ancient secrets and possesses skills and high-tech technologies that humans cannot rival.

Here, in addition to the dazzling underwater creatures, there is also a mysterious power that can command the underwater creatures.

In addition to sea monsters that humans have never seen before, there is also a "paradise" where sea monsters live.

This otherworldly land even does not spare dinosaurs. This wave of operations is so bold that it makes people want to press the pause button and scream in the cinema. In addition to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals found in Chinese and foreign myths, there are also a group of shark troops that sweep through thousands of troops and are invincible.

Each character's appearance is consistent with the character setting: the Queen is heroic and valiant, Aquaman is wild and domineering, Black Manta is ferocious and brutal, Mera is pure and moving, and Orm is graceful and elegant. Each of their appearances is impressive.

Moreover, Li Mu has always been known for his long shots. Several fighting scenes in the film were shot in one long take, which looks very refreshing.

"Oh my god, Li Mu made this superhero movie feel epic. The underwater special effects and the action are so cool."

"Why do I feel like it's a fairy tale? Do you think it's a bit like Chenxiang saving his mother?"

"You know what, I have the same feeling, as if the 'Dinghai Shenzhen', 'Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals', and 'Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain' are all integrated into it. I have to say that Li Mu is really good at filming." "."

The audience fans were whispering below.

"Lee, this is my first time watching the movie too. I have to say, it's amazing." Jason Momoa was also watching the movie for the first time, and like the audience, he was filled with surprise and shock.

"Lee, your photos are so beautiful." Nicole Kidman was also generous with her praise.

"I hope I didn't disappoint you." Li Mu said with a faint smile.

As the premiere ended, the audience burst into applause like a tidal wave.

"It's okay. This is the first time I shoot a superhero film. I hope I didn't disappoint everyone." Li Mu brought the main creators back to the center of the stage and asked the audience with a microphone.

"That's great, DC Jedi strikes back."

When Li Mu heard this, he knew that this person was definitely a die-hard fan of DC.

"It looks great. Very good!"

"This underwater world is so beautiful and magnificent"

Various comments rang out from all directions, all of which were words of praise, and Li Mu was relieved.

"Director Li, at the press conference, you said that the film would combine Chinese and Western elements and incorporate Chinese mythology. We have also seen a lot of Chinese elements in the film. Can you tell us more about them?"

The reporters couldn't wait to start asking questions to several people.

“Well, I can only say that there are quite a lot of them. It seems that all the familiar ones are used. I’ll let the audience explore the specific ones.”

Li Mu replied with a smile, as if he had answered, but he didn't say the answer.

"Okay." The reporter was a little discouraged, but the audience was very positive.

"I know, Chenxiang saved his mother."

"Nezha Conquers the Dragon King."

"Journey to the West!"

"."

There were all kinds of answers. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Li Mu also counted carefully and actually collected all the answers from the audience.

"Jason, what do you think of the movie 'Aquaman' directed by Li Mu?"

The reporters immediately started to target the main creators, and Jason Momoa was naturally no exception.

“We have never been to the bottom of the deep sea. It’s like outer space to us, but Li created a dream for us. In this brand new world with unlimited imagination, we followed the map and slowly explored the maze of this deep sea empire.

Our dream begins with the lost Atlantis, and then leads to the Kingdom of Xebel, the Trench Kingdom, the Escape Kingdom, the Fisherman Kingdom, the Saltwater Kingdom, the Lost Kingdom, and the Hidden Sea in the Center of the Earth. Such a grand "world view" pattern hidden deep in the sea can even be compared to "Game of Thrones".

This movie is really great. I saw it for the first time just like you did. I can only say that it is my greatest luck to be able to act in it, just like the lucky fish you gave me."

Jason Momoa is also good at learning and applying what he has learned. After Li Mu introduced Koi to him just now, he put it into use.

There was an instant burst of laughter from the audience.

The media that night wrote headlines as usual.

"Aquaman: DC's Jedi strikes back. Asking Li Mu to direct may be the most correct choice DC has made."

"Aquaman premiered in China for the first time in the world. Chinese elements are everywhere in the movie. This is Li Mu's Chinese Aquaman. DC has made a great comeback."

"DC finally has a big move in Aquaman, Marvel needs to cheer up!"

"."

Compared to the media who like to use DC and Marvel as the key to attracting traffic, many film critics are much more professional.

"Aquaman is the least DC-like DC movie. It overturns everything that came before it and bears the distinct personal characteristics of Li Mu. It is not only enjoyable for veteran DC fans, but also cheers for ordinary moviegoers."

“Aquaman is more than just a cool superhero movie. It is also a successful attempt to perfectly combine commerciality and artistry. It has both depth and breadth.

It once again made me truly believe that superhero movies are no longer mindless fighting, but use emotions and justice to drive the story forward, so that everything that happens has a basis for its conclusion. "
