China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 99 Sensation
Regarding the suitable TV series for Liu Yifei to act in, the first thing Li Mu thought of was the Japanese TV series "Benevolent Doctor" broadcast in 09, but after carefully searching the information in his mind, he found that although the broadcast time of this drama was There is nothing wrong with it in 09, but the original manga had been serialized as early as 00, so Li Mu had to give up his thoughts on this drama, or he could buy the copyright in the future, but after all, this option was temporarily ruled out by Li Mu.

Then Li Mu thought of the tricky "Celebrating More Than Years". At this point in time, "Celebrating More Than Years" seems to have come out.

He immediately logged on to the Qidian Chinese website, searched for the word "Celebrating More Than Years", and checked the catalog and found that Mao Ni had already written the novel to the fourth volume of Beihai Wu, and the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years" happened to be the fourth volume.

Enough!
Moreover, during this period of time, the superior department has not yet issued a clothing restriction order. If Li Mu shoots "Celebrating More Than Years" in advance, he can skip the first few minutes of modern drama.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately registered a Qidian account for himself. He didn't have a net name, but used a digital number automatically generated by the system. After registration, he recharged 1 yuan, and then rewarded the author Maoni with [-] yuan.

1000 yuan is just the price of a leader.

However, Li Mu did not contact Mao Ni directly. The copyright is in the hands of Qidian, so he can communicate directly with the senior management of Qidian.

On the second day, Liu Siying found a starting point on behalf of Huashang, and bought all the film and television copyrights of "Celebrating More Than Years", including written and unwritten parts, at a relatively low price.

After the contract is signed, even if the writing is completely closed from now on, Huashang still has the right to keep shooting this series on its own.

Huashang Media has its own screenwriting team. After buying the adaptation rights, Li Mu held a two-day meeting with his own screenwriting team. After that, he explained clearly his requirements for the script to the screenwriters. It is enough to check the work progress of the screenwriters regularly, and Li Mu will also make corrections by himself if he encounters any dissatisfaction.

This group of screenwriters are all leaders in the industry that Hua Shang spent a lot of money to poach, and their real level may not be as good as that of the later generations, and there is also Li Mu, a cheat who can always grasp the direction, and keep it when it encounters better writing than later generations. When encountering places that are not as good as those of later generations, he asked for revisions, and sometimes even copied the wonderful content of later generations by himself. With his operations like this, this version of the script of "Celebrating More Than Years" has a high probability of surpassing it in terms of quality. the original.

At the same time, the preparatory work for "Inception" has officially started in August. At this time, a behind-the-scenes group with relatively fixed members has formed around Li Mu. Some outstanding talents from all over the country have been recruited. After these people have been working in Li Mu's first two films, the tacit understanding between the team members has been quite good.

Various preparatory work began to be carried out in an orderly manner. Li Mu communicated with China Film, Xiying, Huayi, Bernard, etc. at any time about various problems encountered in the film preparation process.

At the same time, one after another overseas calls were dialed from Li Mu's mobile phone. Correspondingly, film and television stars from all over the world began to gather in China, and finally converged in the China Film Compound in Beijing.

Jared Leto, Michael Fassbender, Jude Law, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard—since Tom Hanks agreed to Li Mu's lead role, Li Mu invited other Hollywood actors as if With the help of a god, once these stars who were not easy to date in the past learned that Tom Hanks had officially joined, they said that if the role was suitable, they could come to audition.

In such a short period of time, so many Hollywood stars were photographed at the Beijing International Airport. For a while, most of the Chinese Internet was discussing and speculating about this matter.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and besides, the crew of "Inception" has never intentionally concealed the news, so soon there is news that this is actually director Li Mu's science fiction novel "Inception" is about to start filming, These actors were all invited by director Li Mu to audition.

At this time, the Chinese version of "Inception" has sold more than 80 copies in China, which is higher than the English version published in the United States, and it is a proper bestseller.

Li Mu's personal fame may not be a big deal in Hollywood, but it is already a top-notch in China. Basically, there are very few people in the country who do not know him.

In terms of rapid rise and reputation, it is not inferior to director Zhang Yimou, who has already been appointed as the chief director of the Olympic Games. It is estimated that the great director Zhang Yimou will not be able to truly become famous until after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Stabilize Li Mu's head.

What does this mean?
It means that Li Mu has successfully achieved the situation he described to Liu Cixin at the gathering of Science Fiction World Magazine. Science fiction is a niche subject in China. Even if the work is well written, it is difficult to sell more than [-] copies. But if the work or the author can get out of the circle and let outsiders know the author and work, then science fiction novels still have great potential.

Now Li Mu has reached the situation he described at the beginning. His great reputation in the director industry and his amazing achievements in the American publishing industry have made people from all walks of life know about Li Mu and know about Li Mu. , some people will be curious about the book written by Li Mu.

The Chinese version of "The Hunger Games" sold over 200 million copies, the Chinese version of "The Martian" sold over 100 million copies, and the Chinese versions of "Inception", "Interstellar", "Moon" and "Divergent" also sold over 80 copies each Mark, even the Chinese version of the last published "Maze Runner" sold more than [-] copies.

So far, the total sales volume of the Chinese version of Li Mu's novels has exceeded 500 million copies, gradually forming a huge fan group, which naturally also includes a large number of "Inception" diehard fans, so "Inception" is about to As soon as the news of making it into a movie came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire circle of book fans.

"Is "Inception" really going to be a movie? Don't be so hasty, okay! I'm afraid Li Mu will ruin the classic, because to be honest, Li Mu's movie is good, but in fact the logic is seriously lacking. "Taken" is relatively Strong point, "Assassin" is cool, but only cool is left, and the logic is flawed. "Super Body" is even worse, Li Lianhua is super handsome, but the logic of the script is also super awkward. "Inception" has a strong impact on logic The requirements are too high, and most people are just stupid for the four-story dream, so I suddenly have an ominous premonition that the box office may be okay, but the filming will definitely not be the "Inception" in my mind! "

"Aren't you worrying? The original novel was written by Li Mu. In terms of understanding the original novel, is there anyone in the world who can compare with Li Mu's director? If Li Mu can't make "Inception" well, then there is no one." People can take pictures."

"In short, Li Mu has never made a movie with too strict logic. I hope his movie can improve."

At the same time, Huaxia's film and television industry exploded.

In the past, it was Chinese stars who went to Hollywood and got scolded at every turn. No matter how big a star you are in the Chinese world, they still don’t respect you in Hollywood.

Even the international superstar Cheng Long complained that when he first entered Hollywood, he had no dignity at all, and people would scold you and tell you to go away.

But even so, as long as Chinese stars have the opportunity, they still have to do their best to break into Hollywood, because the status of stars who can break into Hollywood will be higher.

But now it's all right, Feng Shui is turning, Hollywood stars have also come to China to audition in groups, and they have to let a Chinese director choose.

At this moment, many domestic actors began to show a crack in their belief in Hollywood, as if Hollywood is not so sacred!

At the same time, everyone's awareness of Li Mu's status had to be greatly improved again.

The news that many Hollywood stars came to China to audition collectively was like a depth bomb, which made the entire entertainment circle dizzy.

Female stars such as Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun, Shu Qi, Tranquility, etc., male stars such as Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Chen Kun, Liu Ye, etc. In addition, there are some old domestic actors, as well as some very famous actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Everyone is trying to find out the news, and they are all trying their best to find an opportunity to join the new film directed by Li Mu.

It was also at this moment that Li Mu was a guest on CCTV's face-to-face program and accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV reporter Wang Ning.
