Chapter 86 Invitation to Cannes

Filming in Korea was not as hard as in Haojiang, so Li Mu took the crew to Busan.

"Director Li, why don't I come here for Quan Zhixian's costume change scene." Wu Ershan was gearing up, eager to try.

"Old Wu, this is too much. It's too obscene. Wipe your saliva." Li Mu looked disgusted. Is that all?You can still drool, something that doesn’t live up to expectations.

In the end, Li Mu didn't let Wu Ershan direct. These two costume changes were also one of the highlights of the movie. Li Mu was afraid that Wu Ershan wouldn't be able to hold on.

You have to do it yourself, and it turns out that only those who are capable work hard. Li Mu feels that he is particularly diligent.

The first scene is the scene that Quan Zhixian performed during her audition, but the costume design is much bolder than in her previous life. Li Mu copied it according to the style of the 007 Bond girl.

Not bad. When Li Mu looked at the picture on the monitor, it was much more explosive than in his previous life. This is what a blockbuster should be like.

Don’t be stingy when you should be generous, and serve the audience.

In the second scene, he was wearing a dirty overalls. After briefly taking off his clothes, he took a bath with the water from the fire hydrant, and then walked out of the corridor wearing a scarf.

"Let her face be a little dirty and her hair a little messy. Yes, that's how it feels." Li Mu commanded from the side.

Wu Ershan was still giving instructions to various departments on the crew about the details of the meeting, and glanced over from time to time.

Li Mu didn't dare to copy this scene. If he copied it again, it wouldn't be shown, but a lot of his good figure was missing.

The clean and neat undressing action was designed several times to highlight the character's charm.

After all, it was also used to earn box office for himself, so Li Mu was naturally interested in it.

"Passed, not bad!" Li Mu clapped his hands and shouted.

"Director Li, is this a Hollywood-style shooting method?" Wu Ershan also learned a lot from Li Mu during this period.

Many techniques and plot guidance are completely different from what I learned in China.

"That's not true, it's just that the plot was different, so it looked like it when filmed." Li Mu thought for a moment.

There is currently no way to use streamlined shooting techniques in China, so they are only similar in appearance but not in spirit.

"Oppa, do you feel that the movies made by Director Li are completely different from those made by our domestic directors?" At this time, Quan Zhixian also felt this very clearly after two months of filming.

"Well, it feels very cool." Li Zhengzai and Jin Xiuxian didn't know much about it. They couldn't think of any words to describe it, and finally they came up with an English word to describe the contents of the past two months.

Quan Zhixian nodded in understanding.

Li Mu received an unexpected call from Lao Mouzi.

"The Cannes people asked me for your phone number." Zhang Yimou informed Li Mu.

Li Mu was a little stunned. He couldn't figure out why Cannes wanted him.

Half an hour later, Li Mu received a call from the Cannes Organizing Committee. To be precise, it was a call from Gilles Jacob, a well-known French filmmaker and chairman of the Cannes Film Festival.

"Hello Mr. Jacob." After Li Mu learned the other party's identity, he also greeted him politely.

"Li, hello, it's a pleasure to communicate with you." Giles Jacob seemed a little happy in his words.

This man is also quite legendary in the film industry and has always been loyal to discovering world-class outstanding directors and providing opportunities to these directors.

Angelopoulos of Greece, Quentin Tarantino of the United States, Jane Campion of Australia, Hou Hsiao-hsien of Taiwan, Abbas of Iran and others have all benefited from his talents.

I have been famous for a long time, and I have long been a world-famous director. I can't do this to me. After thinking about it, Li Musi felt that it should be caused by the movie he is currently filming.

"Cannes has always been an open platform and we invite you and your films to participate in the 65th Cannes International Film Festival."

"You should know that this is a typical commercial film." Li Mu suddenly realized that Cannes is indeed an inclusive and open place. This attitude made Li Mu extremely comfortable.

"Literary films are movies, and commercial films are also movies." Gilles Jacob kept talking about his understanding of movies, and Li Mu couldn't interrupt him. Li Mu also benefited a lot from this theoretical knowledge.

"Okay, it's an honor to participate." Li Mu finally accepted Jacob's kindness.

Of course, this is not to win an award, but to go to the screening, and more to sell copyrights. Cannes provides this platform, and of course it also believes in Li Mu's strength.

Otherwise, Li Mu would not be invited to participate.

Wu Ershan heard a few words nearby and was already numb.

This movie has not even been finished yet, but it has already been invited to Cannes. What is going on? Why doesn’t my movie get this treatment?

Li Mu did not spread the word about this incident, and Wu Ershan also kept his mouth shut. However, others in the crew heard a few words.

Soon the news spread, and nothing could stop it.

"Mr. Li, is this true?" Park Genta called immediately after learning the news.

If this matter is true, he can take credit from the group. Although the group took the initiative to invite Li Mu, he was the final executor.

If you want to take credit, you have to be proactive. Pu Genta has been working for so long and has already become familiar with it.

After this report, everyone is happy and happy. Not to mention moving his position up, at least his current position is stable.

Li Mu thought about it for a while. I was afraid that this matter would be confirmed soon, so there was no need to hide it, so he simply admitted it.

Park Geun-tae, who confirmed the news, danced happily in the office.After regaining his composure, he immediately continued to dial the phone and reported the good news to his superiors.

"The movie has really been submitted to Cannes?" Quan Zhixian was a little unbelievable. It was the first time that a movie starring in her was able to reach such a big stage.

The biggest film festival she had participated in before was the Korean Film Grand Bell Awards, which was several levels lower than Cannes.

"It should be true. Not only Busan, but all Korean newspapers and periodicals are publishing it." Kim Soo-hyun echoed, holding the newspaper on the side.

Lee Jung-jae lamented that the Korean Blue Dragon Film Award was still a bit difficult to win in front of these world-class film festivals.

"No wonder actors are vying to be in the big director's film. The film hasn't even been shot yet, and Cannes has already invited it." Simon Yam said with a smile.

"It's a pity that they are either award-winning movies or selling copyrights. But Director Li's royalties are probably going to be sold at sky-high prices!" Liang Jiahui has been acting in movies for decades and has never encountered anything. However, the treatment is indeed top-notch. , there are very few directors in China who can receive such treatment.

"Gather and prepare for the next game." Li Mu didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, he didn't win the prize in the past, he just sold it for money.

However, Han Sanping didn't think so. He also called to confirm that the matter was true, and he immediately started writing the meeting document.

Han Sanping secretly rejoiced. It was almost the end of the year and he could write something important again.

"The Promise" is about to be released soon, and the feedback from the marketing department is very optimistic, and the audience's expectations are very high.

This is another great news. The report of this meeting is full of content and deserves a special mention.

When Han Sanping thought of this, the joy on his face was beyond words.

After writing for more than two hours, I called the secretary and asked him to take the outline and polish it.

He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the office desk and lit it. The smoke filled his mouth. Looking at the tall buildings outside the window, Han Sanping felt a surge of pride in his heart.

With my investment vision, I would like to ask, who else, who else?

He completely ignored the losses suffered by directors large and small who have invested over the years.

At this time, the domestic media is in a window period. The Hollywood movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is being released, and other movies of the same period cannot take the lead at all.

The movie was a phenomenon. Three days after its release, the North American box office total reached $1.03 million, the highest opening record in the "Harry Potter" series.

It's not as aggressive in the domestic market, but there's no movie in the schedule that can stop it.

Chen Kaige's "The Promise" will compete head-to-head with another Hollywood blockbuster "King Kong" in December. China Film Group also has high hopes for "The Promise", with the two films being released only 12 days apart.

"Li Mu's new film has been invited to the Cannes International Film Festival"

"The film has not yet been completed, but Li Mu's new film has been spotted and invited to Cannes."

"Treatment from a world-class director, Cannes proactively invites Li Mu to make new films"

Media coverage was ablaze.

Brother Chen Kai is at home, watching these media reports, and his expectations for "The Promise" are getting higher and higher.

"The Promise" has been submitted to the non-competition section of the Berlin Film Festival. According to feedback from reliable people, it is a sure thing to be shortlisted.

This film will be another milestone in his film career.

The release of "The Promise" is not far away, and he has recently begun to take people to promote it.

Zhang Yimou has already led his team to the ancient city of Lijiang, where the premiere of "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" will be held.

"It's really a good treatment." Zhang Yi was also a little emotional. You must know that a few months ago, the popular art film "Riding Alone" was not selected for the Venice Film Festival for no reason, and he only switched to the Tokyo Film Festival.

At this Venice Film Festival, Chinese-language films shine brightly in the city.

In addition to "Song of Everlasting Regret" participating in the exhibition, mainland female director Li Yu will bring her new film "Beauty" to the exhibition. Also participating are writer Hong Huang's debut novels "Infinite Motion" and "Initial D".

In order to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Chinese cinema, Mark Mueller, the film festival chairman who has studied in China for a long time, will hold a grand commemorative film festival and activities in Venice.

This is an excellent opportunity for the world's film industry to pay attention to the new forces of Chinese films.

Especially after Li Mu made a name for himself in Hollywood, people from more countries around the world noticed Chinese films.

Zhang Yimou shook his head and looked at the lazy clouds in the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

When Liu Yifei in Lujiang saw these reports, she excitedly called Li Mu, and then had a heated discussion with Xing Aina and others.

"That guy in your family is really awesome. When Ning Hao can get such treatment, I will be able to smile." Xing Aina said with emotion.

When Liu Yifei heard the words "your family", her face turned slightly red, but she didn't refute.

After hearing "Smiling Nine Springs", I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Sister, it's not that bad. Director Ning is also very talented." Liu Yifei thought for a while and then praised Ning Hao to make her feel more balanced.

"It's okay to be better than the best, but still better than the worst. This life is not bad."
