Chapter 138 Bragging, Stimulation, Hundred Flowers Award
On the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Liu Yifei and his mother Liu Xiaoli bought tickets to enter the Bird's Nest.Li Mu was not accompanied, he was assigned by director Zhang Yimou to perform, although his singing was not very good.

Before the performance, the warm-up host Yang Lan, together with Liu Huan, Cheng Long, Andy Lau, Li Mu, Han Hong, Zhou Huajian, Sun Nan, Rong Zuer and others, drove from the Workers' Stadium to the "Bird's Nest" by car. During the period, Yang Lan asked Liu Huan which ball Will you be afraid of heights if you go up so high?Liu Huan said he had no choice but to go all out.

Yang Lan asked Li Mu again, "Inception", which has already been filmed, and "Collapse", which is currently being filmed, have a total investment of 2 million U.S. dollars. Does she feel a lot of pressure in her heart?

Li Mu said with a smile that the total investment of 2 million U.S. dollars was actually less than half of the money paid by him. Most of the money was paid by domestic and foreign entertainment companies. They were not afraid, and of course he was even less afraid.

Cheng Long said with a smile at this time: "They are not only not afraid, they are just grabbing it. You may not know that when Li Mu was filming in France, wow, four of the six major Hollywood film companies directly sent their vice presidents over. What are you doing? You want to grab the investment share of Li Mu's resources! Those are the six major film companies in Hollywood. When I entered Hollywood, I was looked down upon and bullied by others. This kid has controlled Hollywood from the very beginning."

Li Mu said a few words modestly, and the more Cheng Long talked, the more vigorous he became. He and Yang Shoucheng from Yinghuang and Song Dai from Yindu Organization also rushed to France, and they didn't know until they had met the vice presidents of those companies in Hollywood. How much does Hollywood value Li Mu?

Yang Lan admires foreign countries, especially old Americans, so Li Mu's eyes are full of appreciation when she sees Li Mu who can make great achievements in the United States and be respected by the United States.

"Half of the investment of 2 million US dollars is also 1 million. No company in China can spend such a large amount of money to watch movies."

"2 million will underestimate our great director Li Mu." Cheng Long turned to look at Li Mu and said again, "Can you say that?"

Even if Uncle Long asked this question, Li Mu couldn't object, and there was no need to object.

Cheng Long said again: "You all don't know, the total investment of this kid's movie is more than 2 million US dollars? It's 3 million US dollars!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cheng Long said again: "The work that this kid won the Hugo Award is "Gravity". Who are the leading actors in this movie?"

Cheng Long didn't hold back either: "The leading actor is Zhang Yimou, chief director of the Olympic opening ceremony!"

"what?"

Now everyone was really surprised.

Isn't Zhang Yimou one of the best directors in China?Why do you want to act in Li Mu's movie again?
In fact, this matter had been decided long before the launch of "Doomsday Collapse" at the end of June.

When Li Mu first approached director Zhang Yimou, he certainly did not agree, after all, he hadn't acted for ten years.

Then Li Mu chatted with Zhang Yimou for a long time, talking about the prospect of 3D movies, talking about the most cutting-edge technology used in Cameron's "Avatar", talking about these technologies Li Mu himself has basically mastered, talking about "Avatar" will be an epoch-making film works, and Li Mu's "Gravity" will also be an epoch-making work.

Li Mu even said with certainty that the global box office of "Avatar" will definitely exceed that of "Titanic", and it will definitely end the 11-year global box office champion of "Titanic", and it will exceed not one and a half stars.

Li Mu told director Zhang Yimou in an extremely positive tone that the global box office of "Avatar" is expected to surpass that of "Titanic" by more than US$10 billion.

What is the global box office of "Titanic"? 21.8 billion U.S. dollars, how much is 10 billion U.S. dollars beyond it?It is 31.8 billion U.S. dollars. Can a movie take 31 billion U.S. dollars at the box office?
Of course not!

"Avatar" ended up with a global box office of 27.88 billion U.S. dollars, including several re-screenings, but Li Mu couldn't control that much when he was blowing his socks off.

He told director Zhang Yimou with certainty that before "Avatar", 3D movies were a minority, and 3D movies did not become popular, but after "Avatar", if a movie does not come out in 3D, you will be ashamed to say hello to people!

Li Mu didn't know whether director Zhang Yimou believed Li Mu's bragging. Anyway, after Li Mu finished bragging, Zhang Yimou agreed to play the male supporting role and act as the producer.

On the way to the Bird's Nest, apart from Cheng Long, Li Mu and Liu Dehua chatted most congenially.Brother Hua mentioned more than once that he really liked "The Way to Steal the Key" written and produced by Li Mu, and Li Mu said that he would find Brother Hua to act in a movie if he had the opportunity. He testified.

A group of people rushed to the Bird's Nest before the opening ceremony officially started, but they didn't show up to perform for everyone until after the ignition ceremony. Everyone has been waiting in the stuffy conference room in the ground floor. There is no TV in it, and they can't see the opening ceremony at all. Mode.

From entering the arena at 17:7 to exiting after 3:[-], I waited for more than [-] hours. After the opening ceremony, everyone sang three Olympic songs including "Welcome to Beijing" for the audience. live streaming.

After the opening ceremony, Li Mu sent Liu Yifei and her daughter home. They took the elevator upstairs, and Liu Xiaoli took out the key to open the door. When Li Mu and Liu Yifei saw Liu Xiaoli enter the door, they hugged and gnawed together.

Li Mu will go back to his home in a while, and Liu Yifei will stay with his mother.Thinking of not being able to sleep together at night, the two of them gnawed and became very devoted.After a long time and finally separated, the two turned their heads and saw Liu Xiaoli at the entrance behind them.

"Mom, haven't you already gone in? Why are you here so silently? It scared me to death." Liu Yifei said coquettishly.

Li Mu was also a little embarrassed, he called Aunt Liu.

"I'm silent? It's because you two are too despised." After the training, her daughter Liu Xiaoli looked at Li Mu again, "Why don't you go back tonight, Auntie is not an old-fashioned person."

"it's not good?"

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"Okay, then I won't be leaving tonight."

"What's the matter, my mother is just being polite, you can't understand it!"

"Are you being polite? I think Auntie is very sincere?"

"Sincerely, you can stay here tonight."

After entering the room, Liu Yifei first pushed Li Mu to take a bath. Li Mu laughed that she just said that she didn't want him to stay, and she couldn't wait any longer. After speaking, he even took Liu Yifei to take a bath together.Liu Yifei firmly disagreed and seriously warned Li Mu not to do anything at night, and also said that the sound insulation of the house was not very good, Li Mu nodded in agreement.

Lying on the same bed at night, and at her age and Li Mu's age, it is really difficult to say that nothing happened.In the end, before I knew it, I changed from being unable to do anything to being quiet and not making a sound, and gradually changing from being quiet and not making a sound to Aunt Liu should be asleep, don’t go too far and she should be fine, and finally succeeded in getting out of bed. Mom should be asleep, right? If she doesn't fall asleep, she will be ashamed to see others tomorrow.

But the embarrassment is the embarrassment, and the excitement is really exciting. Fortunately, everything is as usual the next day.

After the opening ceremony, several people stayed in Beijing for a few more days before heading back to the American studio to continue filming.

a few days later.

United States.

"Doomsday Collapse" crew.

Li Mu, Cheng Long, Yang Ziqiong, Liu Yifei, and an American actor came together in front of a simulated rockery, with a car hanging on the middle of the rockery.

This scene is the scene where the hero rescues a woman in a car accident in a helicopter at the beginning of the movie.It took a long time to build the rockery, so the scene didn't start shooting until now.

Cheng Long pointed to the helicopter that was hoisted by a heavy crane above the rockery and said: "It's so troublesome, just start the helicopter, and I will go down to rescue people directly from the helicopter in the real flight state, so that it saves time and the effect of shooting is real. .

But Li Mu didn't dare to think this way. Helicopter is really flying, let a rope go down, and finally let the 54-year-old Uncle Long slide down the rope to complete the shooting. Big, don't say that there will be no problems, what if there is an accident?What if Cheng Long really fell?Let's play it safe.

So although Cheng Long asked Li Mu twice for this matter, Li Mu finally insisted that he must find a heavy crane to hoist the helicopter up for shooting, and then use two lifts to hang large wind drums to create the effect of strong winds.

The helicopter is connected to the ground with several lines to control the balance and shaking of the helicopter. After the official shooting, Cheng Long will slide from the helicopter to the side of the crashed car with the assistance of Wia.

A platform is built on the simulated cliff, and the camera is installed on the platform. This camera is responsible for shooting the expressions of the actors in the medium and close range, while the rocker camera shoots the panoramic action.

Due to the sufficient preparation in advance, the scene of saving people from the cliff was completed in less than two hours.

In the evening, the director's room.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei leaned together to watch the football game broadcast in the United States. After watching it for more than ten minutes, Li Mu felt really boring, so he said to Liu Yifei, "Do you like watching football very much?"

"I don't like it!" Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu pitifully.

Li Mu asked in surprise, "Then what are we two doing now?"

"I thought you liked watching football, so I watched it with you." Liu Yifei said with a slightly wronged expression.

Li Mu nodded on her head and said: "Who do you hear that men like to watch football games? I don't care about other people, anyway, I don't like it, hold my breath."

"Then what do you like to watch?" Liu Yifei asked.

Li Mu counted with his fingers: "Diving, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline..."

"Really?" Liu Yifei said with a surprised expression, "My favorite event to watch is rhythmic gymnastics, and I also think trampoline and diving are very good-looking. It seems that the two of us really have a good understanding."

Li Mu held her in his arms and said, "Of course, the two of us are a natural couple."

Liu Yifei looked up at Li Mu and said seriously: "I feel really lucky to know you and be with you."

But Li Mu's face is more sincere: "I am really lucky. I have liked you since my last life. I have liked you for a long time. I didn't expect that God finally made my dream come true in this life. Two lifetimes , a you, God is actually good to me."

At night, Li Mu was already sound asleep, but Liu Yifei couldn't fall asleep anyway. As soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of the things Li Mu said she liked from her previous life.Although she knew that what Li Mu was saying was very rotten and greasy love words, she still felt very moved when she heard them.

The point is that Li Mu's eyes were really touching at that time, and it was almost impossible to see that he was coaxing her, as if everything he said was true.

As if he really thought that.

Unable to sleep, she wanted to chat with her friends, so she sent Shu Chang a message.

"busy?"

"I'm not busy, I'm watching a tennis match."

"What project do you think he likes the most? I guess you won't be able to guess it. Let me give you a hint. Our two favorite projects are highly overlapping."

Shu sings back: "It's hard to guess? Men generally like those games, not football, basketball, table tennis, or diving, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, beach volleyball."

"How do you know? Shu Chang, your guess is too accurate, tell me how you guessed it?!" Liu Yifei said in surprise.

"It's not easy? First of all, I know that you like to watch rhythmic gymnastics the most. Secondly, I know that men like to watch beautiful women. Finally, I know that in these few sports, there are the most beautiful women and they are all very sexy."

"what?"

Liu Yifei finally came to his senses.

It turns out that Li Mu said last night that he likes watching diving, rhythmic gymnastics, and trampoline. It has nothing to do with his artistic skills. He likes these sports entirely because he likes to watch beautiful women, right?
Fortunately, she just thought that the two of them really had such a good understanding, but it turned out that the starting point of the two people's liking was completely different!
the next morning.

As soon as Li Mu opened his eyes, he happened to see Liu Yifei who was staring at Li Mu with his arms outstretched. He stretched his waist and smiled, "Baby, did you wake up early?"

"Sexy ghost." After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she began to dress and get up.

Li Mu was a little confused: "Ah? What's the matter? I didn't play any tricks last night."

The shooting continued on the second day, and today we shot the shocking post-earthquake Great Rift Valley,

The camera first shot Brother Cheng Long's front to create suspense, and then the camera rotated with the actors to reveal the Great Rift Valley. It turned out that the shocking Great Rift Valley was just a blue cloth laid on the ground.
