Chapter 866 Rest is rest, sleep is sleep

There are less than two weeks left until October 25th.

The three movies released during the National Day holiday can be said to have formed a watershed.

"The Captain" broke the 30 billion mark, and "My People, My Country" followed closely behind, also taking in over 25 billion. There is almost no suspense about the billion mark.

However, "The Climbers" is still struggling around 9 million. It will have no problem breaking billion, but it won't go far.

The screening rates of the three films have also begun to gradually decrease, and the industry is about to welcome new films.

The most eye-catching one is "Gemini Killer" co-starring Li An and Will Smith.

The movie was first released in North America on the 11th, but the box office was not ideal. The opening box office was less than 5.7 million US dollars, and the IMDb score was a mess, only points, which failed.
However, in the country, the film is still highly anticipated.

"Li An+film technology revolution+4K+3D+120 frames."

It has been fully utilized in various publicity gimmicks.

After all, it sounds very cool. Although it has been used once in "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk", this time it is claimed to be a 3D enhanced version, providing the ultimate technical audio-visual enjoyment.

In fact, when it comes to Li An, the audience's stereotype is that he is humanistic, philosophical, and delicate.

When it comes to new film technology, people tend to think of "2012" and "Avatar".

However, this time, Li An also became a pursuer and explorer of new technologies in the eyes of netizens.

In the evening, Li An and Will Smith called Li Mu one after another to invite him to participate in the premiere press conference of "Gemini Man" on the 14th.

Although Li Mu was not particularly interested in movies, he would naturally go since Li An and Will Smith invited him.

At this moment, Liu Yifei, who had just finished taking a shower, had a flushed face. She was wearing home shorts and a loose button-up pajamas, revealing her beautiful white legs, and her washed hair was wrapped in a bath towel.

When he got closer, Li Mu could feel that there was still heat coming out of Liu Yifei's body. He guessed that the water temperature for the bath was too hot.

Li Mu actually had deep experience in this regard. Every time Liu Yifei finished washing, when he went to wash, the water temperature was as hot as scalding a pig.

Liu Yifei held up the white bath towel wrapped around her hair with one hand. Her button-up pajamas were pulled up a bit, and a hint of white color occasionally appeared between the hem of her clothes and her shorts.

"Who called just now?" Liu Yifei slowly pulled off the white bath towel wrapped around her hair, and then began to rub her hair.

"Let me help you." Seeing this, Li Mu took the bath towel and sat behind Liu Yifei.

I don’t know if it’s because of the loose pajamas, but from this perspective, Liu Yifei’s waist is so thin. However, around the hips, there is a beautiful curve like a flower bud.

Liu Yifei lay back and leaned into Li Mu's arms, her long hair hanging down from behind her delicate neck. Li Mu stretched out his left hand and gently gathered her hair to one side. Without the cover of her long hair, Liu Yifei's unique jade-like gentleness was revealed. Her back was perfectly revealed, and her delicate collarbone could be seen from behind.

"Director Li An and Will Smith called."

Li Mu carefully rubbed Liu Yifei's newly wet hair while speaking.

"Hmm? About Gemini Killer?"

Liu Yifei subconsciously thought of this movie. After all, when the two of them were together, there was nothing else to promote recently except this highly publicized movie.

"Ok!"

"That's strange, Amu, why do you think Director Li An is obsessed with the 120-frame technology?
I remember Godard once said: "Movies have 24 frames per second, but these 24 frames are not fixed or innate, but are determined through compromise and collusion among all parties over a period of thirty years."

Liu Yifei really enjoyed the care given to her hair by Li Mu's huge palm. She squinted her eyes, looked pleased, and spoke slowly.

At this point in time, both 3D and 4K have reached popularization, and it is not considered a technological promotion and innovation, except for 120 frames.

The frame rate solves the problem of fast shots and continuous movements. Through high frame rate presentation, we can more clearly observe the changes in facial expressions and subtle emotional changes of characters in the movie.

The 120 frames in "Gemini Man" are equivalent to a viewing experience and picture smoothness that is five times that of an ordinary movie.

“Who knows? Maybe he wants to challenge the aesthetic system formed by the century-long history of film, or maybe he believes too much in the epoch-making significance brought about by technological innovation, or maybe he just wants to do something different after knowing his destiny.”

Li Mu shook his head and said that he had no idea what 65-year-old Li An was thinking. Currently, no one was following Li An's path.

Maybe it was too advanced? Or maybe it was impossible to succeed.
Liu Yifei let out a soft "oh", then closed her eyes and slowly enjoyed the touch of Li Mu's fingers on her hair.

After a while, Liu Yifei felt that the touch on her hair was gone. She turned her head and saw that Li Mu had hung up the white bath towel.

"Wipe it dry, and let the rest dry naturally, or use a hair dryer." Li Mu said with a smile, "Let's take a break first."

"Ah? Your hair is not dry?" Liu Yifei was stunned.

"It's okay. I'm just taking a rest, not sleeping." A smile appeared on Li Mu's lips, which was instantly caught by Liu Yifei.

She clutched the quilt tightly for a moment, looking scared like a little white rabbit encountering a big bad wolf, but her beautiful eyes were filled with warm moisture, and she blinked as if saying something silently.

For a moment, under the orange light, shadows entangled, overlapped, and separated, until finally the lights went out and a new day came.

The next day, Li Mu was still dealing with the matters concerning "Changjin Lake". After all, a project launch conference would be held on the 25th. As a task issued by the Central Propaganda Department, the importance of this film was self-evident.

It was just a phone call from David that disturbed Li Mu's thinking. This made Li Mu a little surprised. After all, what was the purpose of the call at this time?
"Boss, did you know? Jennifer Lawrence is getting married"

"Well, what does her marriage have to do with me?" Li Mu also took the opportunity to lean back in his chair and rest, smiling faintly.

"Oh, no, she said she couldn't find you when she called, and wanted to invite you to her wedding."

David quickly explained.

But after David said this, Li Mu quickly stood up and opened the drawer. There was a mobile phone in it, but when Li Mu pressed it, it was obviously out of battery.

Thinking about it, I haven’t used this phone much in these days, so it must have been out of battery for quite a few days.

However, the numbers on this phone mostly record the phone numbers of many Hollywood actors, while the number on Li Mu's body is only for people who are closer to him.

"How about this, you go on my behalf and remember to bring a gift, I can't spare the time to go over there"

Li Mu really didn't have time, as it conflicted with the matters related to "Changjin Lake". A trip to Hollywood would take at least three or four days, and if delayed a little more, it might be a week.

"Don't worry, wrap it on me!"

David patted his chest and made the promise, then called Jennifer Lawrence.

Although the latter is regrettable, there is nothing we can do about it.

On the 14th, the cumulative box office of "My People, My Country" was about to reach the 30 billion mark, while "The Captain" was heading towards 40 billion.

However, according to the current theater scheduling plan, "Maleficent 18" and "Gemini Man", which will be released on the 2th, have taken up nearly 50% of the screenings, and the National Day movie schedule has ushered in new challenges.

Joy City Chaoyang, the capital.

Where Gemini Killer premiered today.

Will Smith and Lee An are signing autographs and taking photos with fans on the red carpet.

Li Mu smiled when he saw this, then walked over.

"Wow, Li, long time no see." Will Smith turned around, with surprise in his eyes, and gave Li Mu a big hug.

"Welcome to the imperial capital." Li Mu smiled and patted Will Smith on the back, then greeted Li An beside him.

"Director Li An!"

"Come here, Director Li, this way. Hahaha, thank you for coming to support our movie."

Li An always speaks like this, always appearing very modest.

"No, no, I also want to see the new technology of Gemini Man and learn from it."

"Haha, let's discuss this later." Li An said with a smile, and then walked forward with Li Mu. Will Smith was still being pestered by fans and taking photos with them.

Since there is still time until the premiere, Will Smith is not in a hurry and continues to stay where he is.

"Didn't you get enough rest?" Li Mu and Li An had been chatting, and Li Mu could feel the fatigue in his body to some extent.

"A little bit. I came here right after I got off the plane."

As a 65-year-old man, Li An really can't bear such publicity as time is too tight.

At this moment, a man with a shiny head, bright eyes and a smile walked over not far away.

Seeing this, Li An quickly introduced, "This time it's Mr. Guo, the chairman of Fuxing International!"

"Hahaha, Director Li, we've met before, but we haven't had time to communicate yet. It's rare to see you here."

Guo Guangchang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Mu.

As one of the investors behind Li An, Li Mu is no stranger to Fosun Pharma. He and Guo Guangchang have only been acquaintances at some meetings and cannot be said to be familiar with each other.

It has to be said that Guo Guangchang really regards Li An as a long-term investment target. He appeared in the previous "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" and this time in "Gemini Man".

Even if "Billy Lynn's Long Half-Life" suffered huge losses, it could not stop Fosun Pharma's pace. It can be said that it has figured out long-term investment and insists on "fixed investment".

"Director Li, Mr. Guo, you two can talk first." Seeing that Guo Guangchang had come, Li An could retire after completing his mission.

"Director Li An, you go ahead and do your work. We'll talk after the premiere." Li Mu nodded with a smile.

Fuxing Pharmaceutical naturally attaches great importance to the film industry, otherwise it would not have established Fuxing Pictures separately.

Guo Guangchang naturally wanted to take this opportunity to talk more with Li Mu and see if there were any opportunities for subsequent cooperation.

After all, it’s always like this at the beginning of cooperation, neither party is familiar with each other, but it is often the beginning of the first cooperation.
