Chapter 900: Trick Jiang Wen, the film industry recovers

When Li Mu said this, Jiang Wen's eyes moved slightly.

"Something feels wrong."

At this time, Jiang Wen thought secretly in his heart.

"Time is tight?"

"Yes, uncle. It will take three months from the script to the post-production. It will start in late October." Li Mu said calmly.

"Then the time is really tight."

Although Jiang Hongqi doesn't quite understand these things, he still has some idea of ​​how long it takes to prepare a movie.

"Hey, Jiang Wen can also help. Although he is the lead actor, he can also do some work as a director and help out. There should be no problem."

Jiang Hongqi said suddenly, and Guo Fan, Lu Yang and others looked over at once.

"Brother, this trick is still great."

Lu Yang smiled secretly in his heart, obviously he knew that Li Mu was planning to let Jiang Wen do more.

"I knew that what Lao Li said was not that simple." Jiang Wen cursed secretly at this time.

"Yes, uncle, what you said does make sense. This can save some time." Li Mu suddenly realized something, and then looked at Jiang Wen, "Old Jiang, please help me!"

"You keep pretending." Jiang Wen was cursing in his heart, but looking at Li Mu's smiling face, he said helplessly, "That's fine, but I can't help too much. After all, it's still quite different from the movies I shot."

"That's natural. Don't worry, there won't be many tasks."

Li Mu responded immediately.

"Uncle, can you tell us about the lives of the soldiers back then so we can make the characters more fleshed out."

After resolving this matter, Li Mu quickly changed the subject.

This back and forth made Jiang Wen even more certain that Li Mu definitely did this on purpose.

As for that "there will definitely not be many tasks", Jiang Wen has already started to think about the hard life during the subsequent filming, and the tasks will definitely be much more numerous.

"Well, let me tell you what I have seen and heard." Jiang Hongqi thought for a moment and said slowly, "Once, I saw a soldier in the air-raid shelter, eating a mouthful of fried noodles and a mouthful of snow.

I asked him: "Do you find life like this hard?"

He took back the spoonful of snow that was about to go into his mouth and smiled, "How can I not feel that? Our revolutionary army is not a monster, but our glory lies here."

He simply put down the spoon and said, "Take eating snow for example. I eat snow here just so that the people of our motherland don't eat snow. They can sit in a bright room, make a pot of tea, watch over a small stove, and cook whatever they want.

Then he pointed to the small and damp air-raid shelter and said, "Take squatting in an air-raid shelter for example. It's so stuffy. You can't bask in the sun outside, and you can't walk on the bare road."

But while I am squatting in the air-raid shelter here, the people of our motherland don’t have to squat in the air-raid shelter. They can walk leisurely on the streets.

They can ride a bike or walk, or talk while strolling. As long as we can make the people happy, that is our greatest happiness, so.' He put the snow in his mouth again, as if summing up, 'It doesn't matter if I bleed a little here, or suffer a little!'"

By the time Li Mu and his companions walked out of the courtyard, it was already afternoon. "How was the harvest? It was not bad, wasn't it?"

Li Mu looked at the sky in the distance. The scorching sun could no longer resist the laws of the world and began to set in the west.

But after listening to these stories today, he knew that there are always some spirits and some people who stand forever in the East.

"We have gained so much, but the burden feels heavier and heavier." Guo Fan and others couldn't help but look up, their faces solemn.

"Relax, just follow our plan and enrich the story in the script. The three of you, 1+1+1 will definitely be greater than 3."

Seeing this, Li Mu couldn't help but smile and encourage.

It was normal for several people to feel heavy-hearted. After all, time was tight and the task was urgent, but the responsibility was also great. Especially after learning about the situation, they felt an urgency to present the most perfect history. Li Mu could understand that feeling because he had the same feeling after watching "Changjin Lake".

"The director team should now focus more on how to strike a balance between respecting history and the film's performance. This is completely different from what I did with The Wandering Earth 2."

As they walked, Guo Fan also raised the question.

"Indeed, for a movie like "Assassination of Novelist" it only needs to ensure that the audience enjoys watching it, but this one won't work." Lu Yang nodded.

This problem is also a problem that everyone cannot avoid at present.

For example, Marvel's Avengers series, Pirates of the Caribbean series, etc., every episode feels very enjoyable, but if you ask the audience to retell the general plot and story of each episode, I'm afraid few people can do it. It's probably just enjoyable while watching, and that's it.

But these kinds of movies are different.

It is necessary to not only achieve performance effects and respect history, but also to evoke the audience's heartfelt emotions and respect these emotions.

Because today's audiences, those born in the 90s and even 00s, may not have the best understanding of previous history, but they have the most convenient channels and means to learn about history ever, and they have a very high demand for restoring the historical truth - they don't just want to enjoy the show.

So this group of people will explore the true history, just like the original version of "King Kong River": the volunteer soldiers built a bridge for the infantry to pass day and night, and the anti-aircraft guns did not hesitate to expose their positions to protect their comrades, and in the end everyone carried the bridge on their own. The content is very tragic and touching.

But while the audience is moved, they will also explore: Is this how we won the Korean War?
Obviously the answer is no, so you can’t be moved just for the sake of being moved, or feel happy just for the sake of feeling happy.

"Just do it step by step and you will know. Practice makes perfect!" Li Mu knew that this problem could only be solved by action.

On July 7, with the opening of cinemas in low-risk areas, Maoyan also released new data: Tickets for the Shanghai International Film Festival went on sale at 20 a.m. on July 7. Ten minutes after the ticket sales started, 20 tickets were sold. One hour after the ticket sales started, 8 tickets were sold. As of 107789 a.m. on the same day, 128042 tickets had been sold.

On the first day of resumption of work, as of 11:100, the national movie box office exceeded million.

For as long as half a year, no films were shown in theaters across the country. This is an indelible page in the history of Chinese cinema.

But all this seems to be over, and the cinema has finally bid farewell to the desolate situation of being deserted and welcomed the first batch of audiences.

"We have also made a small contribution to the recovery of the film industry. We have joined hands with local governments to launch movie viewing activities for the benefit of the people, and launched a lucky bag activity for users to return to work, using red envelopes to encourage them to return."

Li Mu felt that Mengying and Maoyan also had to do something for the resumption of work, but it was obviously the easiest for Maoyan since it was a ticketing platform after all.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I will ask the Propaganda Department to come up with a plan and implement it as soon as possible."
