Chapter 123 Super luxurious lineup

August 2008, 2 at 24pm.

Li Mu had already washed and slept, but suddenly received a call from Liu Yifei.

"Do you think "The King of Kung Fu" is really as bad as they say?"

Listening to the voice, Liu Yifei felt a little depressed, which should be caused by a lot of doubts about the movie recently. A few days ago, CNN even published an article criticizing "The King of Kung Fu" as bad and stupid.

"This movie...is really not very good." Li Mu continued, "But what does this have to do with you? Don't worry about it."

"Do you think my acting is okay? But I read that many people on the Internet say that my acting is embarrassing, and that I know it's a bad movie when I see the heroine." Liu Yifei continued to complain.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. With an investment of 7000 million US dollars, a movie starring Cheng Long and Li Lian, two kung fu superstars, is the benchmark of Sino-US co-productions. You can't blame the movie for being too bad."

Liu Yifei felt a lot more relaxed when she heard what Li Mu said, and she felt less depressed. Then she heard Li Mu on the other end of the phone continue to say:
"What does a bad movie have to do with you? You only have a few words?"

"what?"

Li Mu's words can't fix Liu Yifei. Is this a joke that her heroine is not worthy of the name and has too few roles?

It feels a little nasty.

"jijiji..."

At this time, Liu Yifei's QQ notification tone suddenly rang, and it was Li Mu who posted three screenshots of "The King of Kung Fu" Douban negative reviews in succession.

"The movie sucks. The Americans saved the world again. The lovely Liu Yifei didn't even appear a few times."

"Liu Yifei's appearance is still very good-looking, and the plot is really crazy. If it wasn't for watching the fairy sister, I would have run away early because of my urine."

"Two stars, one star for martial arts design, and one star for Liu Yifei."

Then Li Mu said on the phone: "Look, what does the movie have to do with you? The audience thinks that you have too few roles!"

Liu Yifei sighed and said: "I used to look forward to working with international superstars, and I felt a little vain in my heart. Now I realize that working with international superstars is very stressful. If the movie is messed up, many people will scold you, as if if you don't Acting in this movie will make the movie look good."

"Yeah." Li Mu echoed.

"Suddenly, I feel that the pressure of acting in "Inception" is also great-the investment of 1.2 million US dollars, and I have to play opposite Tom Hanks, who has been nominated for five Oscar winners and won two winners-if the performance is not good, it will be difficult. You were scolded to death by netizens, right?"

Li Mu replied: "You don't have to worry about that, the so-called don't bite if you have too many lice, don't worry if you have too many debts."

"what?"

Liu Yifei was a little confused.

Where is it all?Nowhere next to each other.

"I mean..." Li Mu explained, "How could it be possible to act opposite Tom Hanks? Ken Watanabe, who plays Saito, is the actor of RB; Marion Cotillard, who plays the actor's wife Mel It's an Oscar queen; among the roles you play opposite, there are at least three actresses and actresses."

"And Michael Caine, who plays the lead actor's father-in-law, BAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award winner, four Oscar nominations for Best Actor, two Oscars for Best Supporting Actor. So what do you have to worry about? Playing opposites anyway It's either the best actor or the best actress, and I can bear being scolded for my acting skills, the so-called don't bite if there are too many lice."

Liu Yifei was suddenly under great pressure. She really didn't notice before that there were so many movie kings and actresses in the crew of "Inception"?

wrong!

"You're lying..." Liu Yifei suddenly realized, "Marion Cotillard is one of the two confirmed heroines. I know her well. Her acting skills are very good, but she has never won an Oscar."

"It's true that I haven't taken it yet." Li Mu said.

"You are really necrotic. You know that I am worried now, but you deliberately deceived others to increase the pressure on me." Liu Yifei said with some dissatisfaction.

Li Mu said seriously: "I'm not lying, what day do you say is today?"

"What day is it today?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.

"Yes, what day is today?"

"do not know."

Li Mudao: "On February 2th, at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, the 24th Academy Awards Presentation Ceremony—yes, Marion Cotillard is not an Oscar queen yet, but there is a high probability that she will be tomorrow."

"Liar."

Liu Yifei obviously didn't believe it.

"The 80th Academy Awards Best Actress nominations: Cate Blanchett "Elizabeth 2"; Julie Christie "Bright and Bright"; Laura Linney "The Savages"; Eileen Page "Juno" "; Marion Cotillard's "La Vie en Rose!"

"Wait, I'll check it out." Seeing what Li Mu said was so serious, Liu Yifei was also a little shaken.

After a while, Liu Yifei said on the phone: "It turns out that Marion Cotillard has really been nominated, but how do you know that she will definitely win the award?"

"I'm not sure, I just think she has a very high probability of winning the award." Li Mu joked with a smile after finishing speaking, "But you don't have to worry, come to my room at night, and I will teach you how to act. This director will give you a small way to go through the back door, at least it won't let you be crushed too much in acting."

"Bah!" Liu Yifei hung up the phone suddenly.

The next morning, Li Mu was looking through the cast list of "Inception" in his office, when the name of a supporting actress suddenly caught his attention.

These unimportant female supporting roles are in charge of by the casting assistant director, and the selected actor Li Mu is not familiar with them yet.

"Chen Zhixi!"

Li Mu said this familiar name, and some memories from his previous life began to emerge in his mind.

The hottest post-80s producers, 30 billion sisters, and young directors are "the women behind".

3000万成本的《泰囧》，票房是12.67亿；制作加宣发成本5000万的《煎饼侠》，票房是11.59亿；还有《唐人街探案》的8.6亿；《你好，李焕英》的54.13亿——这个女人后来的事业真的就和开了挂一样。

But at this time she is just a young actress.

"I clearly know that I can't compromise many things as an actor"

After having the experience of being replaced because of refusing the unspoken rules, Chen Zhixi, a woman, finally made a bold decision-be the maker of the rules if the unspoken rules cannot be escaped!
So in 2010, she tried her first job as an executive producer.

"Maybe I should poach this woman over and be my personal assistant for a while, and then release her to take care of herself when I improve my working ability."

After making a plan, Li Mu picked up the phone on his desk and dialed the number on the actor's profile.

"Hey."

"Hello, is this Ms. Chen Zhixi? I'm Li Mu. I just saw your profile from the female supporting list of "Inception". I have some new ideas about your role."

"Are you Director Li Mu?"

"Yes, it's me."

……

the next day.

美国当地时间2月24日下午5:00(京市时间25日上午9:00)。

Liu Yifei turned on the computer to watch the live broadcast of the Oscars ceremony.

"He said that Marion Cotillard can win the Oscar, and Marion Cotillard can win the Oscar? Who does he think he is?"

Liu Yifei thought a little unconvinced.

At the same time, the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles.

After introducing all the nominees for Best Actress, the black award presenter opened the envelope:

"The winner is: Marion Cotillard, La Vie en Rose!"

Marion Cotillard walked onto the stage with tears in her eyes. This was the first time she was nominated for an Oscar. She received the trophy, hugged the award presenters, and then gave her acceptance speech: "Thank you very much, this changed my life, thank you so much , I don’t know what to say, I have so much to thank, thank you for life, thank you for love, it’s so real and beautiful, thank you..."

Liu Yifei was a little dumbfounded:
"It was really hit by him, Marion Cotillard, the Oscar queen—but in this way, the one who plays opposite me is—a two-time Hauska actor, a newly promoted Oscar queen, a Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and... there are countless big-name Hollywood actors and winners of other film awards..."

Suddenly Liu Yifei felt a lot of pressure!
