Chapter 890 Gift? Urgent Mission

At the beginning of July, the industry was still quietly waiting for good news.

Li Mu was lying leisurely on the sofa, enjoying the air conditioning, eating some fruit, and watching the little Baozi taking Ala around, feeling so comfortable.

"Have you finished writing the gift for your daughter?"

Liu Yifei picked up a emerald green grape and peeled it carefully while casually asking about "30,000 Miles from Chang'an".

"I wrote it yesterday and have had it perfected."

Li Mu leaned sideways and said, "Give me two too. There's no need to peel the grapes. You can just eat them with the skin."

"You don't understand!" Liu Yifei chuckled, then grabbed a hand, "Hey!"

"You have written the gift for your daughter, but what about mine?" Liu Yifei put the green grape in Li Mu's hand, blinked her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered.

"Forehead"

"You won't forget about me just because you have a daughter." Liu Yifei pouted immediately. It must be said that the actions of the mother and daughter are very similar.

Li Mu felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat when he heard that, but then he changed his mind and realized that Liu Yifei had not performed in the role of Little Baozi for several years.

"Movie or TV show?"

"I can do either. It depends on what you want to give me. But I want to act with you. We haven't worked together for a long time. Look, it's been many years."

When Liu Yifei heard what Li Mu said, she smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed and she started counting on her fingers.

"Okay, that's no problem. I'll have to think about it carefully, but it may take some time. It's probably impossible this year. There's no way around it at the Changjin Lake."

Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei's expectant eyes and quickly agreed. This small request must naturally be fulfilled.

"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry anyway. Do you think we should act out a romance movie or a...?"

Liu Yifei was fantasizing wildly about the stories she would shoot with Li Mu in the future, and at this moment, Li Mu's cell phone, which had been placed on the table, suddenly vibrated and a pleasant ringtone rang out.

"Who is it?" Liu Yifei was very dissatisfied with the call. After all, it disturbed her fantasy.

"Let me see." Li Mu stood up and glanced at the screen. "Hmm? It's from the bureau."

"The bureau?" Liu Yifei repeated subconsciously. Li Mu had already answered the call, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Okay!" Li Mu finally responded simply.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"It seems the bureau is going to hold an emergency meeting and asked me to participate tomorrow afternoon."

"So urgent?"

"Maybe it's an urgent matter." Li Mu was also wondering what was so urgent, and at this moment, Yu Dong also called.

"Director Li, did you receive the notice?"

"Received." Li Mu nodded. It was obvious that Yu Dong had also received the invitation.

"Should be to release the notification."

Yu Dong obviously had great hopes for this meeting.

"There is a probability. We will know tomorrow. It is unlikely to be a bad thing. After all, no matter how bad it gets, it won't be worse than it is now!" "That's right!"

Yu Dong also nodded repeatedly. This period of time was probably the most difficult six months for the film and television industry. In his opinion, no matter how the future goes, it will be upward.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon.

The summer in the imperial capital is still very distinctive, with dryness, heat and stuffiness intertwined.

Just from the parking lot to the meeting place, one can feel the scorching sun.

Li Mu couldn't help but take a few quick steps, but he didn't see any familiar figures, which made Li Mu more suspicious.

Because if it was a film industry meeting, there would be a lot of familiar faces coming at this time, but Li Mu didn't see any of them.

But when I arrived at the conference room, I only saw Fu Ruoqing, and Yu Dong had not arrived yet.

"Director Li!" Fu Ruoqing greeted Li Mu with a smile.

"Boss Fu, do you know what's going on?"

Li Mu sat down and asked curiously.

“I don’t have any news about this yet, but it should be a new project.”

"New project?" Li Mu was thinking when he heard the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor at the door of the conference room.

Li Mu and Fu Ruoqing looked back and saw that it was Yu Dong from Bona and Wang Zhonglei from Huayi.

The few of them exchanged pleasantries and were all very curious about the upcoming project.

After a while, Zhang Hongsen and others came. Obviously, if the meeting was short, everyone would talk more casually.

"I won't hide it from you all, I just received an urgent task from the Central Propaganda Department.

As we all know, this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ support for the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The originally planned release of "Changjin Lake" was postponed due to public health issues.

However, the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea cannot be without a theme movie. You need to take up this task. Our suggestion is to use the three-director method to do it and shoot it at the same time, because the release date is set to be October 10. Time is tight and the task is urgent, but the quality must be guaranteed. "

After Zhang Hongsen finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu and Fu Ruoqing. He also knew the difficulty of this. After all, it was already July and the film would be released in October, which meant three months. Project establishment + script + shooting + post-production, this series of tasks needed to be completed within three months, which was extremely difficult.

"A mission is a mission. Once you accept it, you have to give a military order. Of course, the bureau will ensure that all filming goes through the green light, including review."

Zhang Hongsen has also made clear the bureau’s attitude, and the rest depends on who takes the job.

It is definitely impossible for only one company to do it. China Film Group will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility. In fact, it mainly depends on Mengying, Bona and Huayi, who is willing to take on the responsibility.

If it was other movie tasks, Li Mu didn't want to take on any more tasks because he still had "The Battle at Lake Changjin" on hand, but the original version of the movie "The Battle at Lake Changjin" was directed by Guan Hu, Lu Yang and Guo Fan.

Because Guan Hu was the chief director, and his personal directing issues led to major problems in the final production of the film. It can even be said that the entire direction was skewed, and he even angered the public during the promotion period.

When visiting the tomb of the Volunteer Army martyrs, he put his hands behind his back and wore a "US Navy" hat
After this series of actions, Li Mu really didn't want to hand over this film to Huayi.

While Yu Dong and Wang Zhonglei were still pondering the pros and cons, Li Mu had already expressed his opinion, "Director Zhang, Mengying Media has accepted this mission."

Li Mu's casual words immediately surprised Yu Dong and Wang Zhonglei, and they turned to look at Li Mu.

The main reason was that the time was too tight. If they were not careful during the filming, they would definitely miss the deadline. They were still thinking about it, but unexpectedly, Li Mu agreed directly.
