Chapter 984: Limitations of the Times

"Regarding that "The Battle at Lake Changjin" was selected as the opening film of this year's Beijing Film Festival, Wang Jiequn said that the Beijing International Film Festival has always been committed to encouraging the development of Chinese-language films in different genres and recommending excellent Chinese-language films that have both commercial and artistic qualities."

"Li Mu, producer, chief producer, and director of "Changjin Lake" and chairman of Mengying Media, said that the significance of producing "Changjin Lake" can be described as 'a heavy responsibility and a glorious mission';
International descriptions of this war are mostly from a Western perspective. Chinese filmmakers have the responsibility and obligation to make their own voices heard and let the world know the truth about this battle. "Being able to invest in "Changjin Lake" is a highlight moment for Mengying Media and also a highlight moment for Chinese films."

"The film Changjin Lake, directed by Li Mu, Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and Lin Chaoxian, opened the Beijing Film Festival. The world premiere received rave reviews: three hours was not enough."

"."

As the opening film of this year's Beijing Film Festival, "Changjin Lake" is already very popular.

Moreover, it had taken the lead in launching the ticket rush for the premiere at the Beijing Film Festival, which resulted in unprecedented enthusiasm among movie fans. More than 16000 people made reservations, and the tickets were sold out in just 4 seconds, breaking the record of this year's Beijing Film Festival as the "fastest movie", which shows that the audience is eagerly looking forward to it.

On the second day after the opening of the Beijing Film Festival, the audiences who had watched the movie spontaneously expressed their excitement on various platforms.

"Shocking!"

“An epic masterpiece!”

"My heart is pounding and I can't calm down!"

“Three hours is not enough!”

"I won't say anything more, just go and see!"

"."

Comments like these are now flooding all major platforms.

Although the number of people who participated in the Beijing Film Festival to watch movies was not large, the popularity was too high and there were too many people looking forward to it. They were all waiting, and when they saw these comments, they all asked and left messages.

Those who watched it first naturally kept it in suspense, making those who watched it later feel itchy.

"I was so happy that I got the tickets for the premiere, but now it seems not so good anymore. There are actually people who got the tickets several days earlier than me."

"The one upstairs, just be happy. We can't watch it until the release date. It's good enough that you can watch it in advance."

"Remember to come back and tell us your conclusion after you've seen it. Those bastards just know how to shout: Go and see it, ask in detail, and then you can see it for yourself."

"."

There are still five days until the premiere, but the pre-sale results are still rising, and I don’t know whether it is due to the stimulation of the remarks after the Beijing Film Festival, but the total box office is still rising, breaking the 1 billion mark and heading towards 1.1 billion.

This result is enough to make theater chains laugh, but producers in the same period can only sweat and pray that the market share of "Changjin Lake" will not be too exaggerated, leaving some soup for them.

However, at this time, Li Mu was having dinner in a restaurant as invited by Fu Ruoqing, and Han Sanping was also there.

It is not surprising that Han Sanping and Fu Ruoqing appear together with Li Mu. After all, although Han Sanping has retired, his roots are still in China Film Group, and many of its films are related to him.

For example, the film "Morning Clouds and Evening Rain" that is being discussed now has investment from China Film Group Corporation, and Han Sanping is also the producer. In addition to Fu Ruoqing, Han Jianu is also listed as a producer.

The film was completed two months ago.

"In fact, the subject of the movie is quite good. This kind of movie is aimed at winning awards. If you want to make it more in line with the original novel "The Murderous Girl in a Wedding Dress", don't try to be both commercial and artistic. You will end up pleasing neither side."

Li Mu said while eating. "Then I guess it's hanging." Han Sanping thought for a moment and said slowly, "When I was on the set, I felt Zhang Guoli's hesitation. Both sides probably wanted it a little bit."

Hearing this, Fu Ruoqing shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Zhang Guoli's Didu Chengxin Media taking on most of the investment, China Film would definitely not have invested. But now that we have invested, we will see the results later. However, the road-blocking incident some time ago had a bad impact, and it is possible that the audience will spontaneously boycott it."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Director Li, let me toast you. Luckily you reminded me of the incident last time, otherwise he would have gone in to operate the sewing machine, and I would have been in a bit of trouble."

Fu Ruoqing raised his glass and clinked it with Li Mu.

"It was Director Huang who mentioned it first."

"That's a good suggestion." Fu Ruoqing said with emotion. Fortunately, Huang Jianxin mentioned it more, otherwise the trouble would be hard to get rid of. "Speaking of which, I have to congratulate Director Li. It seems that "Changjin Lake" is a great success. I heard that the leaders of the Central Propaganda Department heard the reaction of the Beijing Film Festival and were very satisfied."

“No, no, we have to wait until the public screening.” Li Mu said modestly.

"Why be modest? If it's good, it's good. It's strange to say, when I was making the Founding of a Nation trilogy, why didn't I think of having several directors work together to shoot it?"

Han Sanping said with a smile, but seemed a little puzzled.

After all, it is not uncommon for several famous directors to shoot together nowadays. With Han Sanping's energy back then, it would not be difficult for him to ask a few people to come and shoot together.

"Third Master, this may be the limitation of the times, limitations." Li Mu saw that Han Sanping seemed a little puzzled, and then said with a smile.

"Hmm, it seems to make sense." Han Sanping felt that this reason seemed quite appropriate, but after repeating it twice, he felt something was wrong, "Have I heard this sentence somewhere before?"

Li Mu suppressed his smile and did not respond.

"Haha, if I remember correctly, this is what Gao Yuliang said in In the Name of People"

Fu Ruoqing immediately thought of something and spoke.

"I'll just say it!"

Han Sanping suddenly realized, "You are just trying to fool me with lines from a TV series."

"Third Master, this is not an excuse, it is true. Who could have thought of this at the time, right? And you did it yourself, you are no better than a few people."

"Forget it, I can't afford this hat"

Han Sanping waved his hands repeatedly.

The meal was quite pleasant. Li Mu also invited Han Sanping to attend the premiere of "Changjin Lake", but Han Sanping wanted Han Jianu to come.

Li Mu also knew that Han Sanping had actually been transferring his resources to Han Jianu so that the latter could have a smoother future.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said nothing.

The release of "Changjin Lake" on the 27th is getting closer, and the audience's expectations are getting stronger.

The pre-sale box office exceeding 12 billion is enough to show the audience's expectations for this movie. This kind of pre-sale can currently only be seen during the Spring Festival period, but this time it appeared during the National Day period, which also set the best pre-sale record during the National Day period.

Of course, everyone knows that "Changjin Lake" is likely to set a record for the first-day box office during the National Day holiday.
