Chapter 832 Industry News
It was impossible for Li Mu to finish reading the 13-word script in a short time. After all, this was not a novel where one could turn a page in a flash.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Mu put away the manuscript.

Then the two of them went to check on the little bun who had fallen into a deep sleep.

The even breathing sound and the cute little eyelashes occasionally trembling, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, little Baozi needs to get the meningococcal vaccine soon. He's old enough."

When the two returned to the bedroom, Liu Yifei suddenly reminded.

"That's indeed a bit troublesome. She is so afraid of injections that she will probably quarrel for a long time again." Li Mu covered his forehead and couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was really nothing he could do with the little bun in this matter.

"Hehe, I've come up with a good idea." Liu Yifei suddenly turned sideways and touched Li Mu's face with her head.

"Itchy, stop it!" Li Mu almost wanted to sneeze, and then he was very curious, "What solution did you come up with?"

“Well, let’s first tell Xiao Baozi that he needs to take three shots, but if he cooperates, he only needs two.

When I finally asked her to be taken there, I told her that I had just told the nurse that the little girl was behaving very well and that she could get one less shot."

Liu Yifei smiled and told Li Muxu about her method.

"It seems to really work." Li Mu instantly understood the essence of this method, "I was wondering why ancient strategists liked to come up with three strategies, including the best, the middle and the worst strategies."

Liu Yifei proudly raised her fair swan neck:
"Am I smart? I just remembered a book I read before. This is called the demolition house effect, a psychological concept proposed by Lu Xun in 1927."

"Yes, yes, yes! Then I'll leave this matter to you." Li Mu nodded in agreement. He had to say that this method was feasible.

"Leave it to me." Liu Yifei agreed without hesitation.

The next day, the little boy fell into Liu Yifei's trap. When he heard about three injections, he shook his head and almost wanted to run back to his room.

But when he heard that he only needed to take two injections as long as he was obedient, he actually looked happy.

Li Mu didn't know how happy the little kid would be when he heard that he only needed an injection.

"How is it? A great success." Liu Yifei showed her white teeth, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, as if she had solved a big problem.

"Unfortunately, I feel that this trick won't work after a few times or it will be discovered." Li Mu nodded. However, considering the little kid's intelligence, this trick probably wouldn't work even a third time. He might get suspicious the second time.

"It's okay. I still have a bunch of good ideas in my mind. No problem." Liu Yifei almost wanted to put her hands on her hips and laugh out loud.

Seeing this, Li Mu couldn't help but purse his lips, "Is this true?"

"Humph, who are you looking down on? Don't you know my wisdom?"

".It's clear now." Li Mu finally changed his words silently under Liu Yifei's slightly dangerous eyes.

"That's pretty much it."

The day after receiving the task, Li Mu still hadn't looked for the second or third co-director, and he didn't even look at the data of "The Wandering Earth".

However, "The Wandering Earth" still swept the summer vacation season with great popularity.

Movies released at the end of July and the beginning of August also took advantage of this period and gained rapid momentum.

"Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", "The Bravest", and "Shanghai Fortress" are three movies that have been promoted very enthusiastically.

However, at this time, news about a grand tribute film gradually spread in the circle, and the news of inviting three top directors to co-direct it was ignited little by little like a spark.

The most important thing is that one of them seems to have been decided, and that is Li Mu.

For a time, there was an undercurrent in the industry.

After all, Li Mu's "The Wandering Earth" is still on schedule, sweeping all opponents, and even the record set by "Avengers 4" was easily broken.

A movie that can be directed by him and co-directed by three great directors, how can the standard not be high?

"The news spreads really fast."

Yu Dong had just contacted Mengying and Bayi to plan the preliminary preparations. When he saw various versions of the news circulating wildly in the industry, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"How come it spread so quickly in just one day?" Liu Yifei was also stunned. Wasn't the meeting just held yesterday, and various versions came out today.

"Aren't there only a few of you in the meeting?"

"Although there are only a few of us, we are not the only ones involved. There are also some people from the bureau involved. This circle is so small, and everyone has some connections. It is normal for them to get the news."

Li Mu didn't even think about how long he could keep it secret. As long as this matter was confirmed, the news would definitely spread.

Otherwise, do you really think that the major production companies are just eating for free and get first-hand information on all kinds of news, resources and information?

"Do you think this news is true?" Zhou Yun looked at Jiang Wen and couldn't help asking.

"It's hard to say, but I heard that the information from the person who spread it can still stand up to scrutiny. I estimate that it is almost certain. And if we wait a few more days, I'm afraid the news will become clear."

Jiang Wen said lightly.

At this time, it was not only the actors who were eyeing this news, some directors were also interested, but they were all waiting for the exact news. Only two days later, the news began to become clear.

The Central Propaganda Mission is a tribute to the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Invited three top directors to direct, with the most luxurious budget to create an epic war movie
Combining these three points, many directors have already started to think about it secretly.

After all, if you can be involved in it, the benefits you will get are definitely something that making other movies cannot give you.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the Central Propaganda Department to personally take charge of the tribute film.

Huayi.

After Guan Xugang, Wang Zhonglei, and Ye Ning discussed the subsequent release of the movie "Eight Hundred", they also talked about the current tribute film intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'm afraid that this tribute film in Li Mu's hands will be given the green light by the industry again."

Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but feel a little envious when talking about this matter. After all, Huayi can no longer get such resources now.

If it were 10 years ago, Huayi’s participation would have been considered to some extent.

"By the way, Director Guan, The Eight Hundred is of the same genre. I think we can try to get it."

Wang Zhonglei suddenly clapped his hands and looked at Guan Hu.

"Haha, that depends on who Director Li plans to invite."

Guan Hu just laughed, but his words seemed to show that he wanted to participate, after all, he didn't refuse.

Several people heard it.

"Mr. Ye is quite familiar with Director Li. How about you help ask Director Guan?" Wang Zhonglei asked Ye Ning who was standing beside him, seemingly nonchalant.

Ye Ning's eyes narrowed slightly. Ever since the two of them were talking about this matter, he felt that it seemed like it was directed at him.

I agreed to ask. It wasn't a big deal, but it made me feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

If I don’t agree, it would be a bit disrespectful to Wang Zhonglei and Guan Hu.

Moreover, ever since the first quarter results came out, the current film landscape has been determined, and he has increasingly felt that the Wang brothers are becoming less polite to him.

Having worked in the workplace for so long, Ye Ning is very clear about his current situation. He will probably be the scapegoat in the future.

"Well, I don't think it's necessary to trouble Mr. Ye, so let's just forget it." Guan Hu was planning to have a double act with Wang Zhonglei. After all, with this back and forth, most people would reluctantly agree even if it was difficult for the sake of face.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ning pretended to take out her phone, but suddenly froze for a moment and put it down. "I was just about to try to call Director Li to ask, but since Director Guan said so, I won't interfere."

For a moment, Guan Hu and Wang Zhonglei were both stunned, with a flash of displeasure across their faces, but they could do nothing about it.

Should I continue to insist and let Ye Ning try?

This is somewhat deliberate.

"Haha, hey, it's okay. Director Li and I have met several times. If there is anything you need, I will ask him then."

Guan Hu also responded with a forced smile to avoid any awkward situation.

Ye Ning also smiled, and the three of them seemed to pretend that this incident had never happened.

On the other side, Ning Hao, who had just finished working on "BJ Hello", was also at home. Xing Aina also looked at the messages in the various groups and couldn't help asking:
"Do you know about the incident with Director Li? Is it as rumored in the industry?"

"How would I know? I didn't ask." Ning Hao didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to watch the movie on the screen. "But there is no smoke without fire. I guess Lao Li does have the resources for the tribute film."

"I heard that three big directors are going to shoot it together. It's different from the one you're shooting now. Don't you want to get involved?"

"Come on, haven't you seen the news? I'm not qualified. Besides, war films are not suitable for me." Ning Hao had no intention of asking for a position.

Xing Aina thought about it and didn't say much. After all, there were indeed a few people ahead of her, and it would be hard to get a seat if she really lined up.

Li Mu naturally didn't know about the various affairs in the outside world. He spent two days and finally read the 13-word script word for word.

"Huh!" Li Mu couldn't help but let out a breath.

"Have you decided which two directors to look for?" Liu Yifei was also very curious, or rather, the entire industry was very curious, about which two directors Li Mu finally chose to shoot this very special movie together.

"Don't think about it anymore. I'll think about it tomorrow. I'm tired." Li Mu stretched, stood up, and twisted his neck. He had been sitting for a whole day and felt uncomfortable all over.

Just at this time, a new round of weekends just arrived, and "The Wandering Earth" released good news, breaking the 50 billion box office mark.

This is also the second work in domestic history to exceed 50 billion.

With such strong momentum, people in the industry are looking forward to whether it can continue to break the barrier of "Wolf Warrior 2" and become the number one at the box office.

And at this moment, the sudden arrival of an announcement immediately caused a stir inside and outside the industry.

“各院线、影管：电影《流浪地球》首轮上映档期2019年6月30日至2019年7月30日，现将该片所有版本从2019年7月30日至2019年9月30日进行全国密钥延期.”
