China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 346: Intoxicated and unable to extricate myself
Liu Yifei knelt down and pinched Li Mu's feet again. While doing so, he said, "Don't think of me as a cute young lady. How can such a trivial thing tire you out? Besides, you've been too tired during this period. Kneading your feet is bad for your body." Okay, I just learned it from the Internet."

Li Mu pulled him up again: "You have done more action scenes than me in the past few days. You are even more tired if you say you are tired. So, sit here and I will push you!"

Liu Yifei pushed Li Mu back to the sofa and said: "It's nothing to be tired from filming. The most tiring thing is the heart. There was a problem with the review of the new movie recently, and you must be upset. I am your wife, here you go. It's okay to pinch your feet, so don't be polite to me, okay? If you really want to feel sorry for me, just work harder tonight."

"Didn't I work hard enough at night?" Li Mu exclaimed, and then immediately thought, "Audit?"

He finally knew why Liu Yifei suddenly became so considerate today. It turned out to be because of this!
Speaking of which, Liu Yifei did ask him about the review status of "Coco" some time ago. At that time, the director of the film bureau had not called Li Mu, and Li Mu was not sure, so he told Liu Yifei that it was wrong. Little question, I didn’t expect Liu Yifei to be interested in it.

So now that the choice has been placed in front of Li Mu, did he immediately tell Liu Yifei that there would be no problem with the movie review, and that there was a high chance that it would pass the review without any cuts?Or should we wait until later?
The goddess in the hearts of countless netizens, that is, my wife, who is squeezing her shoulders, washing her feet, and taking care of her in every possible way, is really a bit reluctant to let go, but - who makes this really exciting!
"Forget it, at worst, I will take care of her until she feels comfortable in a few days and it will be even!"

Having made the decision, Li Mu then let out a long sigh, then leaned on the sofa with a tired look on his face, and a sad look naturally appeared on his face.

When Liu Yifei saw it, he felt extremely distressed, and then he naturally served Li Mu even harder.

If the investment of 1.5 million US dollars is really stuck, although Li Mu is already among the top three Chinese rich people, 1.5 million US dollars is not a small amount after all.

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei rubbed Li Mu's feet while thinking distressedly about how he could comfort Li Mu.

Li Mu, who alternated between enjoying and feeling guilty, enjoyed Liu Yifei's super-standard and meticulous service for several days.
Then, a group of artists under his own banner also came over to increase their presence.

Yang Mi called Li Mu and asked, "Are you okay?"

Li Mu asked: "It's okay, what news did you hear again?"

Yang Mi said: "Do you need to hear any news? It has been on the hot search list several times. Didn't it say that "Coco", which the company invested 1.5 million US dollars in filming, may not be broadcast due to the subject matter?"

Li Mu said: "Isn't this finalized yet?"

Yang Mi added: "I can't help you much. If you are in a bad mood, I can have a few drinks with you."

Li Mu suddenly thought of how Liu Yifei had been busy squeezing his shoulders and feet these past few days, and sighed: "Just drink? Yifei knew I was under a lot of pressure these days, but he changed his approach—— "

At this point, Li Mu braked in time, and the smell became a bit strange if he continued talking.

Yang Mi on the other end of the phone muttered vaguely: "If I comfort you in the same way, I won't be afraid, but if I am afraid, you will be scared away!"

Because what he said was too vague, Li Mu didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "What did you say?"

"Ah? It's nothing! I'm just concerned about you - I'm concerned about our company's new project. It's okay, it's over!"

On the other end of the phone, Yang Mi was thinking about what Li Mu had just said, and her mind went wrong unconsciously.

"Li Mugang said that Liu Yifei has been trying different ways to comfort him these days - hum, some people seem to be aloof goddesses on the surface, but secretly they are not so good!"

……

In addition to Yang Mi, close artists such as Gao Yuanyuan, Tong Liya, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Bai Bing, Jin Chen, etc. also sent messages to inquire about the situation. Of course, many male friends also sent greetings. In short, The impact of this incident is still quite large.

Since Li Mu officially entered the entertainment industry in 2004, it seems that he has never encountered any major setbacks. If this time it is really because of the scale that the movie with an investment of 1.5 million US dollars cannot be broadcast in China, then this will undoubtedly be Li Mu's. The biggest setback Mu has encountered since his debut.

As the saying goes, the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough and turbulent know the honest minister. If you don't express yourself in front of Li Mu quickly, how long will it take to improve your perception in Li Mu's mind?

The most important thing is that everyone knows that even in the worst case scenario, Li Mu's new movie will really not pass the review, and the impact of this incident on Li Mu will be minimal.

An investment of US$1.5 million seems like a lot, but the total output value of one IP of "Frozen" is US$80 billion.

Coupled with Lantuan, Huashang Media, and Maoyan Movies, the investment of US$1.5 million may indeed be a big deal for others, but when it comes to Li Mu, it is hard to say how much of a blow it will have to Li Mu.

From now on, Li Mu will still be a big shot in the entertainment industry whose mood can determine the status of many artists in the industry.

As public opinion intensified, the leaders of the General Administration finally stood up and responded directly to the concerns of netizens.

The meaning is not complicated. First of all, it confirms some of the speculations that Li Mu's new movie does have some problems in the theme setting. However, this "Coco" is indeed a movie. A deeply moving and wonderful animated film.

The leader also broke the news in front of many reporters, saying that there were 18 reviewers on site, and all 18 people were moved to tears after watching the film. In the end, all 18 people were on the scoring sheet and gave all the scoring options for the film. It got full marks, and even provided the bureau with review opinions that it would pass without any modifications!
In the end, the General Administration decided to follow the good advice, respect the unanimous opinions of the reviewers, and agreed that "Coco" would pass the review without modification!

After the interview, the entire Internet cheered, and related topics appeared on the hot search lists of major media!

"The General Administration finally responded, not to cut it off!"

"I thought Li Mu's new movie would be peeled off even if it wasn't completely destroyed, but I didn't expect that in the end it would be - not a single cut!"

"This response contains a lot of content. First of all, the content must have passed the line, otherwise it would not have spread. Li Mu's new movie may have been stuck in the review. Then, although all reviewers know that there are some problems with the content, But he still gave the opinion that it should be reviewed without any cuts, which is very thought-provoking. The most amazing thing is that the General Administration actually listened to this opinion in the end. What else can I say? I can only say that Li Mu is really awesome!"

"Guess what's wrong with the new movie?"

"The rumors seem to be that there are real 'ghosts' in it. It's not that the character is dreaming or that the character is mentally ill. There are real dead people! That is, 'ghosts'!"

"No way? If it is true, can it be tried under the domestic environment?"

"What if the previously reported review got stuck?"

"If there is really a ghost, and the reviewers unanimously agree to pass it without cutting it, then it can only be said that Li Mu's 'ghost film' is really awesome and breaks history!"

"Maybe it's true that all the reviewers cried?"

"Ah, this! It sounds like nonsense, but when I think of the director being Li Mu, I think it's quite possible!"

"Suddenly super excited!"

"Looking forward to it!"

""Coco", the name sounds like an ordinary dream-seeking movie. I really can't imagine what the charm of this movie is, but it can actually make a group of old men with an average age of over 60 years old collectively shed tears!"

"Think about that scene, oh my god, it's so domineering!"

"Maybe it's an exaggeration. It's normal for a group of people to have one or two shallow eye sockets, but all 18 people cried? Anyway, I still think it's impossible for normal people!"

"Hurry up and officially set the schedule, I can't wait!"

"Suddenly I thought of the history of "Frozen" sweeping the world. I wonder if Li Mu can give everyone a surprise this time." "Li Mu felt most that Liu Yifei clearly did not participate in "Frozen". As a result, netizens were When listing Liu Yifei's masterpieces, "Frozen" will almost certainly be mentioned."

"Hahaha, Li Mu knew that his wife's acting skills were just like that. Fortunately, her good looks were good enough, so she made use of each other's strengths and made "Frozen" with Liu Yifei's image. As a result, a movie that Liu Yifei had not acted in turned out to be a success. Liu Yifei’s masterpiece with explosive acting skills, this operation is really too sexy!”

"Every time I see someone saying that Liu Yifei's best acting skills were contributed to "Frozen", I laugh like crazy!"

……

Almost at the same time, Magic City.

Huashang Photography Studio.

The cast of "Edge of Tomorrow".

There is no Liu Yifei in the scene being filmed today. She is sitting on the edge watching Li Mu perform in front of the camera with affection on her face. She is getting more and more handsome as she watches.

She was thinking about the "Coco" issue and didn't know when it would be resolved. Seeing Li Mu's upset face these days, she was really distressed.

She couldn't help him much. At most, she could rub his shoulders and wash his feet and give him a few words of encouragement. In those romance novels, the heroine can often help the hero solve big troubles unexpectedly, but it's a pity that she doesn't have this ability.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table in front of him vibrated. It was Li Mu's mobile phone. Liu Yifei picked it up and took a look. It was the phone number of Huashang manager Liu Siying.

"Sister Liu!"

"Yes or no, is the chairman busy?"

"Well, I'm filming a movie right now. Should I call him when I pass this way?"

"Don't worry, just tell him when he finishes filming and I'll call him."

"I see."

"Okay, then I'll hang up!"

"Wait a minute, Sister Liu, haven't you heard about the review of "Coco" yet?"

"You do not know?"

"how?"

"The director of the General Administration just mentioned this matter when he was interviewed by reporters. In short, our "Coco" has passed the review without any cuts!"

Liu Yifei was overjoyed: "Really? I will tell Li Mu the news later, and he will be extremely happy. He has been worried about this for the past few days!"

"Are you worried? Could it be that he called me a few days ago and told me that although the General Administration has not issued a formal notice, it is basically certain that it will pass the review without any cuts?"

"Ah?" Liu Yifei was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he has been here for the past few days.

After filming a scene, Liu Yifei told Li Mu that Liu Siying had just called, and Li Mu immediately called back. He ignored the matter and said that that night, Li Mu and Liu Yifei returned home from a day's shooting. At the crew's hotel, Li Mu continued to sit on the sofa as he had done the past few days, and then took a long breath. The rest could be spent peacefully waiting for Liu Yifei to come and comfort him.

As a result, this time it was left and right that could not come, but what finally came was Liu Yifei who ruthlessly exposed it.

"You already knew that "Coco" could pass the review without any cuts, right?"

"what?"

"Sister Siying told me today. You told her a few days ago that "Coco" will most likely pass the review without any cuts!"

"Huh? Did she tell you?"

"Say it! So you've been deliberately pretending to sigh these past few days to deceive my sympathy, right?"

"I...I...this..."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to quibble. I'm so worried about you these days. I didn't expect you to be teasing me from the beginning to the end!"

When Li Mu saw that the matter was revealed, he quickly put on a flattering face and took her hand and said: "Actually, I have been very entangled in my heart these past few days. I even thought about telling you about the movie review right away every moment. It’s okay, I don’t want you to worry, but—it’s your fault when it comes to this!”

"You still blame me?" Liu Yifei said angrily after hearing this.

Li Mu suddenly said confidently: "Of course it's your fault. Think about it, who made you so comfortable when you comfort people? I became intoxicated without knowing it. Tell me yourself whether you are responsible or not. ?”

"I...you...are a great director, you are such a scoundrel!"

Liu Yifei was speechless.

Upon seeing this, Li Mu quickly smiled and started to please her by squeezing her shoulders and patting her back:

"I've worked hard for you the past few days, and it's my turn to take care of you from now on. Just sit here peacefully and watch how I take care of you until you're happy!"

Without waiting for her reply, he went to fetch water from the footbath, and then followed Liu Yifei's instructions from the past few days and completely reversed them.

What was different from the previous few days was that Li Mu couldn't help but kiss her feet gently during the process, which made Liu Yifei's face turn red instantly, and he kept saying that Li Mu was not too dirty.

Li Mu said shamelessly: "My wife's whole body smells delicious, and he can kiss her wherever she goes!"

A complete dog-licking face.

After saying that, Liu Yifei's face turned even redder.

……

After the review was officially passed, Li Mu began to communicate with Liu Siying, Chen Zhixi, Maoyan CEO Shen Li, Disney and other relevant parties about the film's schedule. In fact, there was nothing to discuss about the schedule. If there were no problems with Disney, it would basically be It can be confirmed that it will be released on September 9th.

September 9th is a Friday, which is in line with the general practice of releasing new films in North America. At the same time, September 25th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival is the National Day. The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day schedule is of course a very good schedule. At the same time, September 9th is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It will be officially released globally on May 27th. You can first accumulate audience reputation during working days. When people across the country officially have a holiday, you can go into the theater to watch this animated film with a very good reputation.
