Chapter 170 Returning to China, You Who Came from the Stars

A week later, Beijing International Airport.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei were chatting and laughing as they walked towards the exit of the airport. Li Mu was holding a black suitcase in his hand, while Liu Yifei was only carrying a small backpack.

"There are many reporters ahead." Liu Yifei stopped and said.

Li Mu also saw that there were at least dozens of people blocking the front tens of meters, with long guns and short guns, they were media reporters.

"When you're interviewed later, try to keep a low profile. I've been too much in the limelight recently." Li Mu couldn't help exhorting.

Liu Yifei nodded: "Don't worry."

The two continued to walk forward, and the group of media reporters in front also saw the two of them at the moment, so they surrounded them in a crowd, and the two of them answered reporters' questions while walking.

"Director Li, have you ever imagined that this time your film will win a series of important Oscars such as Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Actor?"

"I have thought about it, but what I thought about the most before was the possibility of "Manchester by the Sea" winning the award. "Gravity" can win the best director and best actress awards. I did not expect it before."

"Did you never think 'Gravity' could win an Oscar?"

"It's actually like this. From the very beginning, I shot "Manchester by the Sea" to go to the Oscars, but I really just wanted to shoot such a story when I shot "Gravity". It sold well and even won an award.”

The reporters were all speechless!

The global box office of "Gravity" is nearly 17 billion US dollars!
"Excuse me, Director Li, it is reported that you are planning to spend a huge amount of money to shoot the most popular novel under your name-"The Hunger Games" with a global sales volume of nearly 5000 million copies. Some media say that you will make this book a Chinese version 'Harry Potter', is this real?"

Li Mu stopped and looked at the reporter who asked the question just now, and said: "This must be nonsense. The investment in "The Hunger Games" is only about 7000 million U.S. dollars. Why spend a lot of money to talk about it? And the IP of "The Hunger Games" The value cannot be compared with "Harry Potter" in any way. The total box office of the "Harry Potter" series has reached 54 billion US dollars, and the total box office of the "Hunger Games" series can get 30 billion US dollars. I am very satisfied .”

"Director Li, I heard that your other movie "The Martian" is also under preparation. As an adaptation of a novel that also won the Hugo Award for science fiction, what are your expectations for this movie? What do you think of this movie? Can the movie repeat the box office miracle of last year's "Gravity"?"

"It's difficult. The great success of "Gravity" is the result of the combination of the right time and place. It is difficult for "The Martian" to gather so many favorable conditions."

At the same time, Liu Yifei was not idle either.

"It's not so beautiful today."

"Thank you."

"Director Li Mu won a big win at the Oscars this time, and even won four Oscars in one fell swoop, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress. How do you feel about this?"

"I feel...very excited, very excited."

"Have you ever imagined that one day you will stand on the stage of the Oscars?"

"Of course I have thought about it, and I think most actors should have thought about it."

"Ask a hypothetical question. If director Li Mu told you one day that he would also send you to the podium for the Oscar queen, then he would formally propose to you on the day you won the Oscar queen If you marry him, will you be moved to agree then?"

"Probably not."

"why?"

"Because it's too difficult to win an Oscar, I don't think I can wait that long. What if I don't get the award after 50 years? What if I don't get the award for the rest of my life?"

While answering the questions, the two walked towards the BMW car not far ahead. The car was specially sent by the company to pick them up. Chased by a large number of reporters, the two struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and got into the car. Left behind a group of unfinished reporters.

……

night.

After returning home, Liu Yifei read a few words that flying by plane is very tiring. Li Mu advised her to go to bed early since she was tired, but she yelled again that she couldn't fall asleep.

"Then what should we do?" Li Mu asked.

Liu Yifei bit her lip and said, "It is said on the Internet that there is a method that can help sleep well, why don't we try it?"

Li Mu understood everything when he saw her expression. To be honest, he didn't really think about tonight and was a little tired, but seeing her expression, he was too embarrassed to refuse.

"Can that help you sleep?"

"Really, that's what they say on the Internet."

"Okay then, let's try."

……

As it turns out, that thing is not helpful for sleep, he points people.

For example, now, Liu Yifei did fall asleep early, and it seemed to be really useful, but Li Mu suffered from insomnia.

Now that he was suffering from insomnia, he simply sorted out the main work of himself and the company for the next period of time.

The first is the film projects that the company has launched or is about to launch. There are three films in total.

"The Hunger Games", "Frozen", and "Lost in Thailand".

After "Tai囧", "Hong Kong囧" and "Russian囧" are very ordinary, and Li Mu no longer intends to copy them completely.He plans to have a good talk with director Shen Junsheng after filming "囧囧" and leave the follow-up "囧" series to them for free play. The mode in which Mu wrote the script and Shen Junsheng directed it is almost coming to an end.

In the future, Shen Junsheng will learn to be self-reliant.

Of course, it's not like Li Mu won't stop writing low-budget scripts in the future. He will definitely write works like "Charlotte's Annoyance" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", but he may come to shoot these works in person at that time.

Next is the company's TV drama project.

Now that "Latent" and "Celebrating More Than Years" have been completed, it is time to find buyers for the two TV series.

Li Mu entered the TV drama field at this time, and the timing was good. The past few years have been the period when the copyright price of TV dramas has been soaring.

It is said that in the ten years from 06 to 16, the copyright of film and television has skyrocketed by 7200 times, and the online copyright price of TV series alone has directly soared to tens of millions of yuan per episode.

Since making TV shows will make so much money in the future, and Li Mu has a lot of high-quality TV drama resources in his mind, of course he will continue to cultivate in the TV drama field.

By the way, there was a TV series called "You Who Came from the Star" in South Korea in the previous life, which seemed to be very popular at one time. Of course, Li Mu wants to keep it for himself in this life.

Li Mu thought a lot that night, and finally fell asleep around one o'clock in the morning.

　Recently, I have no ideas, and I have written less, so I need to adjust it.
