Chapter 789: I won’t order this restaurant anymore, the attitude of making movies
The other two dishes, steamed egg and stir-fried vegetables, were pretty normal, but I ended up ordering a takeaway as a snack.

The little bun squinted his eyes and ate happily, but Li Mu noticed that Liu Yifei didn't seem to be much affected. Her eyes were still rolling around, and she was obviously thinking about something.

The next day, Li Mu got up early in the morning and took a look at the Saturday box office performance of "Aquaman".

The screening schedule for Saturday had risen to 56.3%, and ultimately the high box office of 2.7 million yuan completely heated up the film and television industry.

"Let me cook today." Li Mu thought about it and felt that Liu Yifei still needed to practice her skills, so there was no need to rush. However, he did not expect Liu Yifei to come up with another suggestion.

"Let's eat takeout today."

"what?"

"Listen to me!" Liu Yifei vowed.

"Um, okay." Li Mu didn't know what Liu Yifei was planning.

Near noon, the call for takeout came and Liu Yifei's eyes lit up.

"Go get the takeout and have it delivered to the kitchen?"

“???” Li Mu was a little confused.

"Go quickly, I'll prepare it." Liu Yifei ran into the kitchen excitedly.

Li Mu took the takeaway from the delivery man, only to see an empty box on top.

In the kitchen, Liu Yifei seemed to have prepared tomatoes and eggs.

"What are you doing?"

Li Mu casually put the takeaway aside, but Liu Yifei quickly pushed Li Mu out and closed the door.

"What's going on?" Li Mu was confused.

After a while, Liu Yifei had already filled the dining table with the takeaway dishes she had just ordered.

But when Li Mu walked closer, he found that there was a layer of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the middle, but he did not remember that this dish was ordered in the takeaway box. Apparently, Liu Yifei made it herself and put it in the takeaway box.

Liu Yifei hushed to Li Mu, signaling him not to tell anyone.

"It's time for dinner." The little bun came out of the toy house happily and brought Ala to the dining table happily.

"Hey, it's red."

Little Baozi's eyes lit up, because generally speaking, families would not cook this dish for two consecutive days.

It just seems like an accident today.

"Mom ordered takeout specially for you. Try it and see if it tastes good. I've changed the takeout shop."

Liu Yifei smiled like a little fox, supporting her chin with her hands, waiting for the bun to taste.

"Okay!" The little bun replied happily, and then he had already fixed his eyes on a piece of tomato, scooped it up accurately with a spoon, and put it into his mouth when he opened his mouth.

"How is the takeaway? Is it delicious?" Liu Yifei asked happily.

Li Mu couldn't help but find it funny. He wanted to trick the little bun with takeout, but he was also very curious whether it would work.

"what"

The little bun still had the same reaction as yesterday. He looked at the plate of tomatoes with a complicated expression and said hesitantly, "Mom, it's still hard to tie it."

"I won't order from this store anymore. Their red ones are so hard to get. What a waste of money."

The little bun spoke slowly with his mouth pursed, and then he used his little hands to move the dish far away, for fear of seeing it again.

"Hahaha"

Li Mu couldn't help but burst out laughing, while Liu Yifei was dumbfounded.

"You'd better practice your skills. It means you haven't passed the test of the girl yet." After dinner, Li Mu spoke when he saw that the little bun was not there.

"Oh." Liu Yifei lay listlessly on the sofa, seeming to have suffered a great deal of frustration.

"Actually, it's not a bad thing." Li Mu sat down next to her with a smile, gently stroking Liu Yifei's little head to comfort her.

"What do you mean?" Liu Yifei raised her head slightly, with some confusion in her eyes.

"Think about it, you have indirectly proved that the taste outside is actually just average." After Li Mu finished speaking, he quickly stood up, as if he wanted to escape.

"You are really good at comforting people." Liu Yifei directly took Li Mu's hand, with a dangerous look in her eyes.

"Humph, you always want to run away. I've been on guard against you. I was thinking about how you would comfort me. Die now."

Then Liu Yifei rode on Li Mu and punched down with her little fists like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Seeing this, Li Mu also responded frantically. While playing around, he seemed to have forgotten his previous troubles.

"Aquaman" grossed another 2.3 million yuan on Sunday, and the box office in three days was close to 7 million yuan, which was like a shot in the arm for the film and television industry.

But a piece of news that came at this time made people in the industry suddenly want to curse.

Because another Hollywood blockbuster "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" was announced to premiere in China on December 12.21st. You should know that domestic films have been booked on this day. Dozens of films were released before, after and on that day. I thought I could sit back and relax, but the domestic film industry was in internal strife, and a beast came.

This really made many producers want to curse. Li Mu found this news a little strange. Obviously, Fu Ruoqing did this on purpose, probably because he was dissatisfied with the domestic production companies' schedule arrangement.

The entire Lunar New Year box office would still be lifeless if it weren't for the appearance of "Aquaman", because so far, apart from "Aquaman", there hasn't even been a movie that grossed over 100 million yuan.

However, no matter how the producers and distributors complain, it will be of no avail, because the release date has been set and it is highly likely that it will not be changed.

The huge success of "Aquaman" in China has also given Warner great confidence, because according to the current trend, it will be no problem for "Aquaman" to break 20 billion yuan at the Chinese box office.

"Lee, it's time for you to come to Hollywood. Our fans can't wait to meet you."

Jeff Bueckers was communicating with Li Mu on the phone.

The premiere in North America is approaching, and Li Mu himself has strong appeal and traffic, so he naturally has to participate, otherwise the premiere will lose a lot of flavor.

"Of course, I have already set the departure time, don't worry."

Li Mu smiled faintly and said that he would definitely go there, but he didn't plan to get up so early. It was enough to have several major actors leading their own teams for publicity.

"Lee, maybe we can continue to cooperate. You know, Warner still has many superheroes."

Jeff Bueckers has already started preparing for other superheroes. Since first inviting Li Mu and then Spielberg, DC's difficult days seem to be seeing the light of day.

Especially after the release of "Aquaman" in China, Warner became even more confident and couldn't wait to develop more superheroes to compete with Marvel.

"No, my superhero dream has been fulfilled. Warner should need more outstanding superhero directors."

Li Mu smiled and declined.

"Li, we can offer a higher price, as long as..."

"Jeff, this is not about money. I believe you understand." Li Mu spoke while Jeff Bueckers was still persuading.

"Well, I'm very sorry."

"."

Entering the working day, "Aquaman" is still leading the way with an average daily performance of nearly 100 million, waiting for the outbreak in the second week.

At this time, Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was originally in Yunnan, returned to the imperial capital.

Li Mu met him in a small teahouse in the imperial capital.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, whom I haven't seen for a long time, seems to have a little whiter beard on his face, and he is obviously getting older.

"Teacher, which place in Yunnan did you go this time?" Li Mu picked up the teapot, poured a cup for Tian Zhuangzhuang, and then poured it for himself.

"'The Ancient Tea Horse Road' is a very interesting place. You can take Xixi and Xiao Baozi there when you have time. I know a lot of local people and I can be your guide."

Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled gently, took a sip of tea, and then took out the Montblanc he had been dreaming of.

This is Tian Zhuangzhuang's favorite cigarette and he has never changed it. He just smoked less when he was teaching in the past, but now he seems to smoke more frequently.

Because since we met, I've already smoked my second cigarette.

"Teacher, you are old now. Your body may not be able to bear smoking so much. It is better to smoke less."

"Haha, okay, smoke less, smoke less."

The smile on Tian Zhuangzhuang's face became even wider. He had already taken out a cigarette, but when he heard what Li Mu said, he couldn't help but put it back.

After so many years, Li Mu was the only student who advised him to smoke less, and his tone was like that of a family member.

"By the way, how was your movie, teacher?"

"I found the inspiration and came back to prepare and perfect it, and also to help Brother Chen Kai with a small favor." Tian Zhuangzhuang said with a smile.

"It's about his tribute film, right?" Li Mu could be sure without even having to guess, "It's probably about his son again."

"Parents are so kind. Old Chen has put in a lot of effort for his son. He came to me and I couldn't refuse this little favor. Besides, I like acting, so I'll just use it as a way to kill time."

"Then teacher, I will let the company approve your film first, you can take your time with it."

Li Mu did not continue talking about Brother Chen Kai's son. If they were discussing Brother Chen Kai himself, there would be something to talk about, but his son was much worse.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I guess few studios would be willing to pay for an old man like me."

Tian Zhuangzhuang was deeply touched. After all, this student was the only one who was willing to guarantee him without any hesitation.

After all, he knows his own movies well. He won't be able to make any commercial films in his lifetime, so he can only make this kind of art film.

"How can that be possible? Teacher, even if you lose money when making a movie, there will be a lot of companies rushing to pay for it."

Li Mu responded with a smile. He was not lying and Tian Zhuangzhuang did have the status and influence in the industry. Moreover, if he sold the copyright, he would not necessarily lose money. Many production companies would naturally do him a favor.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about this movie for a long time. I wanted to make it ten years ago. At that time, I wanted to make it into an animation, but later I felt that animation was not suitable because it didn’t have the feeling of cutting through flesh.

Later, as time went by, I was thinking that I should just leave it at that, until you woke me up last time.

In fact, we are a generation of ups and downs, but in this society, we have seen people, the sky, the earth, and we know what love, responsibility, and giving are. We later put all these into our movies and used our own lives to make movies. I think this may be the attitude of our generation.

So this time I want to put this attitude into this movie, and I hope that future filmmakers will do the same, and pass on the backbone of Chinese filmmakers from generation to generation."
