Chapter 824: Trick Li Mu
Mid-May every year is the feast of the Cannes Film Festival.

This world-class film event attracts countless people.

Domestic journalists have been reporting on domestic filmmakers going to Cannes, such as Diao Yinan, Hu Ge, Gui Lunmei, Liao Fan, Wan Qian, who are in the main competition unit of "The Gathering at Southern Station".
Even Tian Zhuangzhuang, who went there in a low-key manner, was included in the report.

At this moment, Leonardo, who had been low-key for a year, suddenly called, which surprised Li Mu.

"Li, will you come to Cannes this year? I think I might win the Best Actor Award at Cannes."

Leonardo is still very shameless, but among the films in the main competition unit, the most popular one is indeed "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio.

However, if Li Mu remembered correctly, this movie was nominated for many awards around the world, but the winners were basically Best Supporting Actor, Brad Pitt. On the other hand, the protagonist Leonardo was nominated for quite a few awards, seven or eight Best Actor nominations, but he never won a single award. He was simply serving as a foil to Brad Pitt.

"I don't have any works, so why go there for vacation?"

Li Mu responded with a smile.

"Oh, I heard your teacher has a production showing in the Classics Unit, I thought you would come along."

"You seem to understand well?"

"That's not the case. I just heard Martin Scorsese mention what he thought were the best movies of the 90s. The answer surprised me. I thought he would mention Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, and Forrest Gump.
But in his eyes, "The Horse Thief" ranks first among the best films of the 90s. He thinks it is a genius and transcendental film.
This makes me very curious.”

Leonardo did not hide his curiosity about the movie "The Horse Thief".

In fact, in terms of time, "The Horse Thief" does not belong to the 90s, but it was released in North America in the early 90s, so in Martin Scorsese's summary, it is a movie from the 90s.

"Then you should appreciate it carefully, maybe you will have a different experience."

"Of course! But it's such a pity that you didn't come and witness me winning my first Cannes Best Actor award."

Leonardo DiCaprio is obviously obsessed with the Cannes Best Actor award, which is regarded as the highest honor for an actor in the world film and television industry.

"If you can get the last ticket, please notify me and I can fly over immediately." Li Mu said with a smile.

"OK, it's settled then. Wait for my good news."

"."

At this moment, while Li Mu was still on the phone, Liu Yifei suddenly pulled the little bun to a corner where Li Mu couldn't see him.

"Baby, Mommy has something I want to ask you, is that okay?" Liu Yifei said gently.

"Yeah." The little bun nodded vigorously.

"Would you like to drink milk tea? Sweet milk tea."

"I want to." The little bun said without hesitation.

"Then, after dad finishes the call, you can ask him, 'Dad, do you want to drink milk tea?' This way we will have milk tea to drink, understand?"

"understand!"

Liu Yifei was still a little worried. "Repeat what mom said."

"Dad, do you want to drink milk tea?" The little bun said it word for word, without any mistake except the pronunciation.

"Okay, then let's split up."

Liu Yifei and Xiao Baozi high-fived each other, then sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened. She casually picked up the grapes on the table, peeled them carefully, and handed them to Li Mu.

"What happened Leonardo?"

Li Mu accepted it without hesitation. "This guy is obsessed with the Cannes Best Actor Award again. It's only been two years since he won the Oscar for Best Actor. His ambition has expanded."

“Hahaha!” Liu Yifei couldn’t help but smile when she heard Li Mu’s words. She patted Li Mu’s arm and said, “How can you say that to others?”

"That's true." Li Mu shrugged.

Just then, the little bun ran quickly towards Li Mu.

"father!"

"Hey!"

"Do you want to drink milk tea?"

“???” Hearing this, Li Mu was suddenly confused. Why were the subject, predicate and object of this sentence so strange? What did he mean by “Do you want to drink milk tea?”

Seeing the little bun's big black eyes filled with desire, how could Li Mu not understand that the little bun clearly wanted to drink milk tea.

"Oh my, you've learned how to trick your dad." Li Mu smiled and held the little bun in his arms. Then he picked up the phone on the table, opened Meituan, and clicked, "Drink, drink, drink, let me see what I can give you."

"I want a pig."

"Pearls, right? Okay." Li Mu swiped his fingers and chose a cup with pearls, then handed it to Liu Yifei. "What would you like to drink?"

"Just spoil her. Drinking too much is not good. It will make you fat."

Liu Yifei said this, but her eyes were shining. She quickly picked up Li Mu's phone and chose the style she liked. ". She said it was not good, but she chose it very quickly."

Li Mu complained, then thought about it and chose a cup of pure tea for himself.

In thirty minutes, the milk tea was received.

The little bun happily picked up the cup of milk tea, sat on the sofa, swung his legs in the air, bit the straw with his little mouth, and drank in small sips.

“It’s really delicious and sweet”

On the other side, Liu Yifei leaned back on the sofa with satisfaction, her eyes narrowed into a line.

"You two have similar drinking postures."

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the two of them.

After Xiao Baozi finished drinking the milk tea, he was thinking about something. He rolled his eyes and poked Liu Yifei who was still biting the straw beside him, "Mom, what should we say next time we want to drink milk tea?"

“???” Li Mu was suddenly stunned. Why did this sentence sound a little strange?

At this time, Liu Yifei had reacted quickly. She was wearing slippers, quickly picked up the little kid, and ran to the bedroom with kicks and stomps.

"Liu Yifei, why are you running? Let the little bun explain clearly."

Li Mu hurriedly spoke upon seeing this, but the only response he got was Liu Yifei who flashed by like a gust of wind.

"."

"Drink less milk tea, look at your belly." Before going to bed at night, Li Mu poked Liu Yifei's belly.

Liu Yifei pouted her lips, then pretended to be asleep, closed her eyes and did not move, but she was still mumbling:

"The user you are calling is asleep, please do not call again"

"???" Li Mu then said unhappily, "I want manual service."

"The artificial channel is busy sleeping"

"Why are you busy?" Li Mu was amused, but seeing that Liu Yifei still had no reaction, he thought about it, then quietly reached his hand into the quilt and tickled her armpit twice.

Suddenly, Liu Yifei rebounded conditionally, and then rushed towards Li Mu, "You have no martial ethics!"

"What kind of martial ethics am I talking about? You actually used your daughter to trick me today."

"Hehe, who told you to be stupid?"

The two of them were having a lot of fun in bed.

"The Chinese film "The Gathering at Southern Station" had a successful premiere in Cannes. Well-known directors Quentin Tarantino and Tian Zhuangzhuang made a surprise appearance and watched the film. The reviews were still mostly positive."

"The Horse Thief premiered across the century, in a new look of 4K48 frame Tibetan dubbing restoration version in Cannes Classics section, Quentin Tarantino, Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio appeared at the premiere"

"."

As the Cannes Film Festival is in full swing, there are push notifications about various popular films every day, especially when domestic films premiere.

This year's Cannes is indeed a peak competition. Although 2018 is already a big year, the situation of a large number of good films has caused Lee Chang-dong, Ceylon, Abby Caibang and other Cannes direct descendants and big bosses' darlings to return home empty-handed.

But this year it is even worse and more ferocious.

Two members of the Double Palme d'Or Club (there are only six living filmmakers like them), the Dardenne brothers and Ken Loach, were forced into a fight between gods.

Among the other 19 nominated directors, a large proportion have already won a Palme d'Or or a Grand Prix, such as Quentin Tarantino, Almodovar, Malick, Abdel Fattahel Kechiche, and the much-loved "Cannes' favorite son" Dolan.

This also led to an exceptionally lively period during the entire Cannes Film Festival, with Leonardo appearing frequently in major media reports.

But when there was only one day left in the Cannes Film Festival, Li Mu still hadn't received Leonardo's call.

Obviously, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has no chance of winning any awards.

As expected, on May 5, the Cannes Film Festival officially came to an end, and this year's Palme d'Or was won by South Korean director Bong Joon-ho for "Parasite".

The previously highly anticipated "Pain and Glory" and "Les Miserables" both won awards, but it was Quentin's new film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" that won the Palme d'Or for dogs only thanks to the dog Brandy.

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the dog's golden palm. He almost wanted to tease Leonardo, but felt that it was a little too much, so he gave up.

Diao Yinan, who won the Golden Bear for "Black Coal, Thin Ice", also missed the trophy with his new film "The Gathering at Southern Station".

The end of the Cannes Film Festival also means that June is coming.

As the saying goes, the Dragon Boat Festival is in midsummer, the weather is clear and the days are long.

June is a good month, and for the film and television industry, it means the annual summer vacation is about to arrive.

Not only that, there are 30 weekends in just 5 days in June this year, so there are 13 movies in just June, including Hollywood blockbusters "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", "Men in Black: International", "Toy Story 4", and "Spider-Man: Far From Home".
On the other hand, domestic films are not inferior at all, with crime, romance, suspense, science fiction, and everything else included.

The last film, The Wandering Earth, reversed the decline of domestic films in June. The promotion trend gradually became hot, and the Wandering Earth appeared frequently on major self-media.
