Chapter 996 Movie Milestone

"The main theme movie "The Journey Home" produced by Mengying Media and Huace Film & TV has been officially completed after half a year;
It is reported that the filming of "The Journey Home" was very grand. It is currently the first Chinese-language film focusing on "diplomats evacuating overseas Chinese". Not only did the filmmakers personally visit the diplomats, but they also spent huge sums of money to build real scenes for the real landscapes, and filmed in various places continuously.

While "The Battle at Lake Changjin" is still in theaters, the news of the completion of the new movie "The Journey Home" produced by Mengying Media naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Movie fans are also looking forward to it, after all, it is a new type of subject matter.

"We can look forward to it. It should be released next year, right?"

"Diplomat? This is a good subject. I've long wanted to see what it's like."

"The movies produced by Mengying Media are still worth looking forward to."

"."

Netizens were discussing the matter heatedly, but at this time, Li Mu was negotiating with Rao Xiaozhi and Zhang Yi, who had returned after a day's rest.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Director Li, shooting on location is very hard, especially in the hot summer, the desert climate is even more unbearable, with wind and sand everywhere and the sun scorching."

Zhang Yi then talked about the hardships during the filming in front of Li Mu, and his expression was extremely real.

"That's not right. Wasn't it the same when we were filming Operation Red Sea?" Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

"Forehead"

For a moment, Zhang Yi also scratched his head.

"Tell me, what movie role have you set your eyes on now?" Li Mu knew Zhang Yi's personality and guessed what kind of role he wanted to play next.

"Hey, Director Li, I just want to ask if there are any other movies like The Battle at Lake Changjin. If there are any, please give me one."

After being exposed, Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands.

"Do you think it's cabbage? You can have it whenever you want." Li Mu couldn't help but laugh.

"Not in the short term, but if there is a good one that suits you, you will definitely not forget it. Go away. I was wondering why you came here with Director Rao today. I thought you came here to see me on purpose."

"Of course I'm here to visit you, Director Li. Really." Zhang Yi chuckled and stood up. "I'll go out first. Director Rao, call me when you leave."

Rao Xiaozhi couldn't help laughing when he heard that, then waved his hand, indicating that he would be called later.

"He is a good actor, and he is not afraid of hardship when acting!"

However, after Zhang Yi closed the door, Rao Xiaozhi immediately praised him.

"Yes, he is indeed a good actor." Li Mu affirmed, "Director Rao, how is it? The post-production department said that it will be completed in January. You can consider the schedule."

"Director Li, how about the Spring Festival schedule?"

Rao Xiaozhi said this cautiously because his previous film "Raging Fire" did not perform well at the beginning during the Spring Festival, but fortunately its subsequent reputation improved and it recovered a lot of box office revenue, so he was not very confident about this.

"Then let's go for the Spring Festival."

Li Mu thought about it and decided that the 2022 Spring Festival would be in February, so it would be just in time to film "A Thousand Miles Home".

However, he thought of a movie shot by Shen Teng, and immediately called Lu Yu.

"How is "The Lone Moon" going now?" Li Mu asked.

"Mr. Li, they are still in post-production. They said that because a lot of special effects are needed, it will not be completed until around March."

Lu Yu responded quickly.

"Okay, got it." Li Mu nodded. If "The Lone Moon" is produced, theoretically it would be most suitable to be released during the Spring Festival. After all, comedies are most suitable for the Spring Festival.

"By the way, let the publicity department come up with a marketing plan for 'The Journey Home' during the Spring Festival."

Just halfway through the walk, Lu Yu quickly responded, saying, "Okay, Mr. Li!"

"." Just two days after the announcement of the completion of "A Thousand Miles Home", all major media outlets suddenly issued unified statements, as if they had held a meeting, and were all in unison.

"The box office of 'Changjin Lake' has exceeded 60 billion, setting a new record in Chinese film history!"

"A 60 billion box office legend is born! 'Changjin Lake' sets another milestone for Chinese cinema!"

“60 billion patriotic enthusiasm: The story of China written by “Changjin Lake” with box office records.”

"."

The news that the box office of "Changjin Lake" has exceeded 60 billion yuan has swept the entire Internet. From social media to news clients, related reports are everywhere, and the popularity has even overshadowed many new films that are currently in theaters.

"The 60 billion box office is not just a number, it represents the audience's resonance with this history," an industry commentator wrote in his column.

Netizens were even more enthusiastic and discussed the issue.

After all, movies have moved from the 5 billion era to the 6 billion era.

The industry had already become numb, because they had known that this day would come from the performance after the National Day holiday, but they did not expect it to take three weeks.

"Six billion!"

At Jiang Wen's house, Zhou Yun was still feeling a little emotional. He didn't expect that Li Mu, who had had barbecue with them a few days ago, had set a new record in the country in the blink of an eye.

"I don't know when someone will break Lao Li's record."

Jiang Wen sat on the sofa and smiled faintly.

“Maybe Director Li will make another movie someday.”

"Disaster!"

Jiang Wen shook his head. "A film like 'Changjin Lake' is hard to come by. Even if you ask these three people to shoot another film with the same subject matter, it may not be better than this one."

"That too!"

Just as Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun were expressing their feelings, Chen Hong and Chen Kaige were also a little surprised, but more of them were delighted.

After all, this movie is related to Brother Chen Kai.

But then I received a lot of messages and the phone started ringing.

"Your phone is probably congratulating you." Chen Hong smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. This happiness came too quickly, but it was not sudden at all.

Because everyone knew that the 60 billion box office was likely to happen seven days after the National Day holiday.

Zhang Yi and Li Mu were no exception, with a lot of messages and phone calls coming in.

Just after I finished chatting with Zeng Maojun, Wang Changtian called to congratulate me, and then Yu Dong also called.

However, for Bona, which participated in the project, this is a win-win situation.

"Director Li, I'm wondering if we should hold a 6 billion celebration banquet." Yu Dong suggested as usual.

It is normal for a film crew to hold a celebration banquet. After all, who wouldn’t be happy about getting a high box office? And they can also organize a party for everyone to have a meal together.

"Mr. Yu, if it were any other movie, it wouldn't be a big deal, but there's no need for our movie to be so high-profile in this regard, especially since it's had such a high box office. After the seminar, we can just have a private meal together."

Li Mu didn't need to think at all and directly declined the celebration banquet. It was not appropriate to publicize it at this time, nor was there any need to do so. The limelight was already enough.

"It's true that I didn't think it through." Li Mu's words were not difficult to understand, and Yu Dong comprehended it immediately.

"."

Just a few minutes after chatting with Yu Dong, Fu Meicheng from Huace called.

I have to say that this 6 billion is still somewhat shocking to the industry today.

Moreover, this kind of congratulation is very helpful in building closer relationships. Normally, there is no reason to contact each other, but now there is a reason.
