Chapter 799: "Horse Thief", a beautiful back arc

"Brother, you mean those old movies?"

"Yes, that's right. Lao Tian's Tibetan version of The Horse Thief is also on the restoration list after it was recovered from overseas."

Zhang Yi discussed with Li Mu in a low voice, and because of the communication between the two, Liu Yifei and Zhang Yi switched seats.

At this time, Liu Yifei and Chen Ting were talking and laughing about something.

“To be honest, Lao Tian’s The Horse Thief is a genius transcendental film, and it is also the pinnacle of our generation in that era.

You have to know that "The Horse Thief" is a work dominated by pure audio-visual elements. It was rare and precious for mainland films in the 1980s to be able to create such a work dominated by feelings.

It was back then, what a pity," Zhang Yi said with some emotion.

Li Mu naturally understood Zhang Yi's sigh, because he had also carefully studied Tian Zhuangzhuang's movie "The Horse Thief".

The film was shot in Tibetan and the post-dubbing was also carefully done in Tibetan.

It was just because of the film distribution policy requirements at the time that films had to be presented in Mandarin, so they had to produce a relatively poor Mandarin dubbing in a very tight time. Finally, coupled with the fact that it was too niche, it was coldly received when it was released that year and ended in a dismal failure.

"Given the quality of this film, it should be easy for it to be selected into the Cannes Classics section after it is restored."

“It shouldn’t be difficult, but I don’t know how the restoration is going. The movies we made back then were not restored very well.” Zhang Yi shook his head.

"Ok!"

Li Mu nodded silently and made note of this matter in his mind.

After Li Mu and Zhang Yi finished chatting, Huang Xiaoming, who was sitting in the same row, not far to the left of Zhang Yi, stood up and walked over.

He first greeted Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting, and then came to Li Mu and Liu Yifei.

"Director Li, Yifei"

"Brother Xiaoming, I haven't seen you for a long time." Li Mu asked with a smile.

"I've been resting for almost a year. I've spent more time with my family. And I've got to have some time to spare with my baby. I've got to make sure someone can take care of the baby at home. Isn't that the case with you and Yifei?"

Huang Xiaoming said with a smile, obviously he was in better condition after a year of rest.

"Brother Xiao Ming, I heard that you not only took care of the children this year, but also went to Jiangcheng, Yunnan to help with poverty alleviation, and then adopted the giant panda Ping An An."

Liu Yifei is particularly curious about these outdoor things.

"Haha, maybe we can adopt some wild elephant babies. Iffy, you can also go and adopt some with Director Li, such as giant pandas. It's quite meaningful."

Hearing Huang Xiaoming's words, Liu Yifei nodded like a chick pecking at rice, obviously a little moved.

"Why, do you want to adopt one too?" Li Mu asked with a smile after Huang Xiaoming left.

"Hehe, I'll adopt one, you adopt one, and then Xiao Baozi adopts one. Let's adopt three. It would be best if we could adopt a family of pandas. That would be great." Liu Yifei was daydreaming when her cell phone suddenly rang.

"Jingying is here. I'm going to go backstage and talk to her first."

After reading the message, Liu Yifei put her bag on Li Mu and hurried to the backstage.

Li Mu was bored, so he opened Weibo and took a look. He had to admit that the domestic entertainment industry has been getting more and more exciting in recent years.

There are endless departure photos and red carpet photos, only the awards and various hot searches scheduled are left.

In the past, they would only surprise everyone with their appearance when they arrived at the event, but now they take photos before leaving. It seems that if they don’t post a batch of refined photos before leaving, it seems as if their participation in the event is incomplete.

And they are not only competing in styling, scenes, and photo retouching, but they are also vying for big-name photographers. In this regard, no artist in the world is as dedicated as the domestic entertainment artists.

Just when Liu Yifei went to reminisce with Zhang Liangying, Luo Jin and Tang Yan arrived.

"Brother Mu, hey, where's Iffy?"

The two of them looked at the empty seat next to Li Mu and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"I went backstage to look for someone. It seems like both of you have gained something today."

Li Mu did not ask Cao Guowei about the list of major awards tonight, but seeing that both of them came together, there was probably an award.

"I hope so." Luo Jin smiled.

"By the way, how was the training going?" Li Mu asked immediately.

Luo Jin has to participate in training almost every day, while Tang Yan only needs to train for a few days because she doesn't have many scenes.

“It feels like we have become real crew members.”

"Okay, then if you don't work as an actor in the future, maybe you can find a job." Hearing Luo Jin's joke, Li Mu couldn't help but tease.

While waiting for Liu Yifei to come back, Weibo Night was about to officially start.

"I didn't miss anything." Liu Yifei saw that the host was ready to go on stage and sat down in a hurry. "No, Jinzi and Tang Yan came just now, but you were not there"

"Let me see." Liu Yifei turned around immediately, found the two of them in the second row, and waved quickly.

Li Mu felt inexplicably funny. He was already in his thirties, but still had the same temper as when he was a teenager.

Everyone saw it, but there was nothing but envy in their eyes. After all, there were not many people who could be so casual in such an occasion.

"The emergence of Weibo has quietly changed the old pattern. A new chapter is gradually being created under the impetus of China's most influential social platform, which is changing our lifestyle at a lightning speed."

With the host’s opening remarks, the so-called “Most Powerful Weibo Night in History” officially kicked off.

"Now we invite Sina Weibo Chairman Cao Guowei and Mr. Ma Yun, Mr. Lei Jun, Mr. Li Mu, Director Zhang Yimou, Director Stephen Chow, Li Binbin, Liu Yifei, Liu Ye, and Huang Xiaoming to come on stage to start the lighting ceremony for Sina's 20th anniversary and leave their handprints to commemorate it. Sina will also continue to 'pursue innovation with the big wave and keep pace with the times'."

The lighting ceremony brought the ceremony to a climax, and various awards came one after another.

Liu Yifei was the award presenter for Weibo's most influential singer of the year, and the winner was none other than Zhang Jingying. It has to be said that Sina is very good at arrangements.

Li Mu was the award presenter for Weibo's Director of the Year, and the winner was Zhang Yimou.

Not only the ceremony was lively, but the various hot searches and comments on Weibo were even more exciting.

But after the noise, things will eventually return to calm.

After the ceremony, Li Mu, Liu Yifei, Luo Jin and Tang Yan were having a party together. Li Mu was a little hungry, so they went there for a midnight snack.

"Yanyan, when are you going to have a baby?" Liu Yifei suddenly asked with her hands supporting her face. The question was so sudden that even Li Mu was confused.

Tang Yan's face turned red, and she said shyly, "I don't know."

"What are you asking?" Li Mu served himself some porridge and said unhappily.

"What's the big deal? We are all good friends," Liu Yifei pouted and expressed her dissatisfaction to Li Mu.

Tang Yan couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, Xixi, I will be the first to tell you when I have a baby."

After having supper, the two went home, but the little bun had already fallen asleep in a daze. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"Ah, I'm so tired. The bed is still very comfortable." After returning to the bedroom, Liu Yifei lay down directly.

Liu Yifei has a very well-proportioned figure and is 1.72 meters tall. When she lies flat on the bed, she looks like a jade sculpture with perfect golden ratios. Her curves are stretched and graceful, like a stream outlined in a picture, extremely smooth.

Coupled with the blue high-necked dress highlighting the curve of the back, Li Mu felt a little hot and couldn't help but lie down.

"You're pressing on me." Liu Yifei turned her head and saw the heat in Li Mu's eyes. She felt the reaction behind her and was stunned for a moment. Then she whispered, "I should have known not to let you eat oyster chicken porridge."

"You didn't stop me either." Li Mu smiled, took a deep sniff of the fragrance between the hair, and couldn't help but explore up and down the waist with his hands.

"Well, let's take a shower first." Liu Yifei murmured.

"What are you washing? Let's do it together later."

Li Mu aimed directly at those red lips and kissed them deeply. Then there was a messy sound, and after a long time, there was the sound of water in the bathroom, dripping and playing a beautiful melody.

The popularity of "Weibo Night" may last for a few days, but after it ends, the actors will start promoting their own Spring Festival movies.

The closer it gets to the Spring Festival, the more pervasive the smoke becomes.

The next day, Li Mu opened his hazy eyes, then pulled the quilt for Liu Yifei to cover her graceful body, and then opened the window to let in the smell.

But the cold winter wind was always so biting, and when it blew in through the open window, Li Mu couldn't help but feel more alert.

"It's cold." Liu Yifei obviously felt it. Without even opening her eyes, she pulled the quilt and rolled up into a ball. Li Mu was stunned by what she saw.

Good thing he woke up, otherwise he wouldn’t have any quilt to cover himself with.

Li Mu stretched his body, then thought of what Zhang Yi had said to him yesterday. He quietly walked out of the room and called Tian Zhuangzhuang.

"Teacher, good morning. I want to ask you something. Is The Horse Thief under urgent restoration?"

"You know about this? It's not urgent. The Tibetan version has been found from overseas for some time," Tian Zhuangzhuang said with a smile.

"Teacher, do you have any problems that you need help with? As you know, Tiancai also has professional personnel who have done restoration work, and their skills are amazing."

"I did not personally participate in the restoration process, but I just gave some advice, hoping to find the Tibetan audio track. Last year, the restoration team responded and said they had found it.

I think the restoration team at the China Film Archive is reliable, so there’s no need to bother you.”

"Okay. I hope to see your Tibetan version of The Horse Thief in the Cannes Classics section. After all, this version is so rare." Li Mu nodded.

"Haha, I hope so. When I first thought about the neglect of this movie, I made a joke and said something cruel: My movie is made for people in the next century. I don't know if anyone will still remember it."

Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but laugh. After all, if the film could be recommended for the Cannes Classics section, it would be a recognition of the film and make up for the regret of that year.
