Chapter 901: The King Kong River Starts Filming

The domestic film and television industry is recovering in full swing, but considering the epidemic prevention requirements, the interval between each movie has been extended from half an hour to 50 minutes to one hour, and strict disinfection is required after each customer leaves.

Compared with the excitement in the past, “safety first” is more important now.

Despite this, David is still envious of the resumption of work in China's film and television industry.

"Oh, boss, you guys are so lucky."

"What? Los Angeles isn't open yet?" Li Mu couldn't help but ask with a smile when he heard David yelling on the phone.

"Oh, we had hoped to reopen our cinema at the end of July, but the current situation seems to have gone wrong. At least the cinemas in New York and Los Angeles have not been granted permission to open." David said helplessly.

As the two largest markets in the United States, whether the New York and Los Angeles markets are open or not represents the specific situation of the entire film and television industry.

"I was originally planning to watch Nolan's "Tenet", but..."

"Stay home and don't get infected. I don't want to miss you next time I go to the United States!"

Hearing Li Mu's threat, David panicked, "That shouldn't be the case. I'm still young."

"But you're quite fat, how do you know it hasn't mutated, right?"

"."

"You scared David again." Liu Yifei, who was standing aside, heard what Li Mu said and immediately laughed, patting Li Mu's shoulder.

"How can I scare him? I'll just let him exercise more at home and lose some weight. Maybe he will really mutate one day. It's not impossible to deal with a fat guy like him."

Li Mu's serious words aroused Liu Yifei's anger. How could she not know that Li Mu was just talking nonsense in a serious manner, but it seemed to make sense.

"By the way, do you think the film we're going to shoot together later should be more casual or more intense and exciting?"

Li Mu immediately thought of the gift he would give Liu Yifei after filming "Changjin Lake". After all, he couldn't go back on his word once he had promised.

"Ah!" Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then stroked her chin, her eyes lit up, "How about we just relax a little bit, it would be best if we can play while shooting, so that we can bring our little one with us, well, it would be best if we shoot during the summer vacation"

"Your requirements are quite high." Li Mu couldn't help but laugh. "But it sounds good. Why don't you just be the director? I'll get someone to assist you and help you reduce your workload."

"Hmm?" Liu Yifei was also a little moved when she heard what Li Mu said. After changing her mind, she immediately shook Li Mu's arm and said, "Then why don't you help me? We don't need to ask anyone else."

"Hey, can you afford me?"

"." Liu Yifei's eyes narrowed, and her hands reached out to Li Mu's waist and then pinched it.

"hiss!"

"I'll let you be naughty! I'll let you be naughty."

"Let's talk about it later. Let's talk about it later. It's fine to put a name on it, but if you don't say it, it's better to have fun while filming. I still need to find someone to help me. Otherwise, I have to be the director. How can I have fun?"

Li Mu also wanted to take a break and relax, after all, he had been directing movies for so many years.

Moreover, "Changjin Lake" is also a super tiring project. According to the current plan, it is expected to be shot in the ice and snow for three months, so you have to give yourself some relaxation for your body and mind.

"Okay, who should we invite?"

"We can hire whoever is free when the time comes. There's no rush. The script hasn't even been written yet."

Li Mu smiled faintly, but after Liu Yifei said that, he already had an idea for the script, and the location was just right, and he could also recall the past. With the recovery of the film and television industry, filming naturally began to resume gradually, and Hengdian began to become lively.

As for the TV series "My Hometown and Me" which is scheduled to be released on National Day, Ning Hao immediately led the team to start filming separately.

In late October, "King Kong River" to commemorate the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was still in preparation and the script was still being perfected.

"The filming will start in August. It should be in time, Director Li." Fu Ruoqing was discussing this matter with Li Mu at the moment.

After all, as a task that required a military order, Fu Ruoqing was very concerned about it.

"It's still in time. After all, there are four directors."

"???" Fu Ruoqing was stunned when he heard Li Mu say that, "Aren't there three?"

"Oh, as the leading actor, Jiang Wen can also help a little. At least there will be no problem with scheduling." Li Mu said with a faint smile.

"." Hearing this, Fu Ruoqing thought of Jiang Wen's temper and how he was tricked by Li Mu. He couldn't help laughing, but he seemed to have thought of something and said quickly:

"By the way, Director Li, there's a meeting at China Film Group. We want to make a movie based on the touching heroic deeds in Seoul. Are you interested in participating?"

"Hmm? A task from above?" Li Mu's first thought was whether this was a task assigned by the General Administration.

"That's not the case. I just think it's helpful to promote positive energy. Isn't this the kind of movie we need?"

"That's true." Li Mu nodded, "Okay, Mengying Media will follow suit."

"China Film Group plans to invite Director Xue Xiaolu to direct this project. After all, a female director might be more suitable and more emotional."

"Director Xue doesn't have any projects on hand right now, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Li Mu had already guessed what kind of movie it was. There would definitely be no problem if China Film wanted to shoot this subject. After all, some deeds and some content would be more impressive and memorable if promoted through film and television means.

As of July 7, the national movie box office has exceeded 24 million yuan, and the number of screenings has recovered to one-fifth of the average of previous years.

According to data from Maoyan Professional Edition, the box office reached 1.1 million yuan in the first week after theaters resumed operations, with a total of 419.3 million viewers and 42.4 screenings.

The resumption rate of the entire industry is 63.09%. In this way, the film and television industry seems to be gradually emerging from the "cold winter".

Time flies, and August is here.

As the last month of midsummer, the scorching sun seems to be making its final effort, scorching the earth.

However, Li Mu is in Dandong at this time because the opening ceremony of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" will be held here.

Dandong is one of the main filming locations for "The Battle at Lake Changjin". Ninety percent of the film's scenes were shot in Liaoning, of which 60% were shot in Baicaidi Village, Jiguanashan Town, Fengcheng City, Dandong, and 40% were shot in the imperial capital, Zhen'an District of DD City, and KDMZ Autonomous County.

However, because we are still in a special period, no large-scale opening ceremony was held. However, because the DD City Propaganda Department was present, they went through a set of procedures and took a lot of photos for their own publicity.

"The rest is up to you."

Li Mu patted Guo Fan and others on the shoulders.

At this moment, Jiang Wen, who was reading the script, muttered, "That's not right. If I were to polish this paragraph, I wouldn't say it like this. It lacks a bit of ruffian spirit."

When Li Mu heard this, his forehead twitched. "Lao Jiang, you're acting like that again, right? Don't scare me by saying 'dirty' in the movie when I watch the finished film."
