Chapter 882: Good Will Not Suppress Evil Modification of "Game 749"

Li Mu was very happy eating melons, but Wang Changtian, the light beam, was not happy.

On the desk was an audit document. Below the three big red words "Not Passed", there was a four-word reason for the audit failure: Good will not prevail over evil.

"It's really a bad year."

When Wang Changtian saw this review document, he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Yimou's films have not been rejected by the censors for many years. After all, he is a big director in the industry, so the censorship will be more relaxed.

But once he got there, he encountered it.

This kind of news naturally could not be concealed. On the day when the review was rejected, the news spread in the industry: Zhang Yimou's new film failed the review.
This news spread quickly, and Li Mu found out after checking the group messages.

Li Mu was just about to call Wang Changtian, but unexpectedly Zhang Yi called first.

"Brother!"

"Now you know about the movie," Zhang Yi said with a wry smile.

"I see. Did the bureau give any reason?"

“There are only four words: good will prevail over evil.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mu understood immediately. The fact that he could write down this reason proved that the evil elements in Zhang Yimou's movie were too important. It was so important that the filmmaker almost didn't give Zhang Yimou any face and directly fought back.

"Are you free? Let's take a look and give me some suggestions. I think I'll have to reshoot it."

"Okay!" Li Mu nodded without hesitation. He also wanted to see what Zhang Yi looked like in the original version.

Just after hanging up the phone with Zhang Yi, Jiang Wen came again unexpectedly. Li Mu was a little surprised. Why didn’t he come if he didn’t want to? Why did he come so late?
Li Mu thought Jiang Wen was also talking about Zhang Yi's movie, but Jiang Wen's first sentence left Li Mu stunned.

"Do you know how that grandson's movie went?" Jiang Wen laughed on the other end of the line, and Zhou Yun's reproachful voice was also heard on the phone.

"What?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment and replied with one word.

"Damn, you didn't get the news, Lu Xun." Jiang Wen immediately complained, "No, your news is too behind the times."

"Forehead"

"Lu Xun's "749 Bureau" was rejected for review, and you don't know this either?"

"Ahem, I was just talking about "Solid as a Rock" and didn't have time to check the news." Li Mu coughed awkwardly, "By the way, didn't Lu Xun's movie start filming in 2016? Why is it delayed until now?"

"Who knows this grandson? He said that the funding chain was broken. He barely finished filming last year and said that he was going to submit it for review first.
I just heard his father start contacting people."

"Hmm? The contact has been approved?"

"That's not the case. Not many people are willing to give face to his father now. I heard that he is trying to get investment from his contacts. It is very likely that he will have to reshoot. Four of the previous producers have had problems. You know, in this environment, there are very few companies that don't have problems."

Jiang Wen was in a very happy mood, and he was full of energy when he spoke.

"Well, it's only a special situation now, otherwise we would have to come out for a drink and celebrate tonight." Jiang Wen laughed.

"Then just owe it for now and make it up later."

“That’s what you said.”

"."

"Director Jiang's voice is still as loud as ever." Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Mu hung up the phone.

Apparently Liu Yifei had heard the voice on the phone not far away. "That's just how he is!" Li Mu shrugged.

The next day, at Enlight Pictures, Li Mu entered wearing a mask.

"Director Li, I'll take you there." Wang Changtian's secretary saw Li Mu downstairs and hurriedly prepared to lead the way.

"No need, just do your thing first!" Li Mu declined with a smile, and then went directly to the 12th floor, which was the place where light was projected.

At this time, Zhang Yimou, Wang Changtian and screenwriter Chen Yu were all here, discussing.

"Director Li is here." When Wang Changtian saw Li Mu coming, he immediately took a few more steps in front of the door.

"Mr. Wang, you look so haggard. This shouldn't happen. You haven't had much work recently." The moment Li Mu saw Wang Changtian, he felt that Wang Changtian was not as energetic as he was last year.

"Hey, don't mention it, Director Li. You know what happened this year. It's good enough that your hair didn't turn white. Now when you open your eyes, you're worried."

Wang Changtian complained.

"Let's wait and see. If they can be beaten back, the story must be exciting."

Li Mu said with a smile, he couldn't wait any longer.

"What a pity! This story is the most perfect one in my opinion, but based on the current response, I'm afraid there are a lot of changes that need to be made."

Chen Yu shook his head, obviously still reluctant to make any changes.

"Let's watch it first. If you want to show it, you have to learn to compromise." Zhang Yimou is an experienced person and knows the pros and cons of this. Some things cannot be solved by delaying.

"In fact, the city is a bit sensitive!" Li Mu said suddenly, leaving everyone silent for a while.

"There's nothing I can do, it's the prototype." Zhang Yi smiled helplessly.

Then the movie appeared in front of everyone. Except for Li Mu, everyone else had seen it before, but they all stared at the screen very seriously.

"These villains are really well acted."

Li Mu praised that Zhang Guoli, Yu Hewei, and Li Naiwen all performed with great tension.

"Maybe it's because the villains were played too well." Wang Changtian smiled bitterly, because everyone could obviously notice that the positive characters, Lei Jiayin and Zhou Dongyu, seemed to have lost their feeling at all.

The weakness on the front is okay.

However, the film is very good to look at and has a very strong plot. It is one of the rare films by Zhang Yimou with a strong plot, and the characters are very powerful. Li Mu couldn't help but admire it secretly. It's a pity that this movie can't be released. If it can be released, the plot will not be like this.

"If we follow the General Administration's opinion, Chen Daoming's role needs to be strengthened!" Li Mu sighed, "And Zhang Guoli's role should be removed from his role as director, otherwise it will be too sensitive."

"Generally speaking, these two positions are concurrent. Removing them is actually not in line with common sense." Chen Yu was reluctant to delete them.

"There's nothing I can do if it doesn't fit my feeling. It's true. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this identity as it's suspected of being an innuendo." Zhang Yi finally nodded.

As for the violent scenes, no one mentioned them. Such scenes are not the core, and their deletion does not have much significance for the plot itself. The most important things are the plot, character settings and details.

After some discussion, Wang Changtian felt overwhelmed when looking at the points in the notes of several people.

"There is still a lot of content to be re-shot." Li Mu looked down and couldn't help but smile.

"There's no other way. It will probably take a lot of effort. Brother Chen, I have to rely on you." Zhang Yi was also a little helpless.

"If it is changed like this, there will be many mistakes and omissions, the necessary details will become rough, and even some of the logic will be confusing."

Chen Yu's heart was bleeding when he saw his script was changed into this form due to review.
