The banquet lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, when night fell.

At first, they were still worried, worried that they would not be able to recover their costs.

However, Wang Changtian was the first to propose that he wanted to invest 100 million, and then Yu Dong said that he had invested 200 million, which made them a little moved.

However, with an investment of up to hundreds of millions of dollars, it is certainly impossible to make such a hasty decision, and it must go through professional investigation and research, and analyze the entire project through a series of data before making a final decision.

Li Mu is not worried about whether they are willing to invest, he is not unable to afford this money, and he has absolute confidence in this movie, if he can't eat alone, he won't share it with them.

People who eat alone will never end well, and Hollywood's projects that are sure to make money without losing money, "Spider-Man", "Iron Man", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "The Avengers" are not yet to accept funding from other aspects, and the share that really belongs to the producer is estimated to be only more than half.

There's no way, it's true that the more popular projects are, the easier it is to usher in peeping, you have to let it, and you have to let it if you don't let it!

The press conference is over, and the audition roles will start in two days, and the specific requirements have already been sent to the Human Resources Department, and Li Mu will not participate in the auditions for some inconspicuous small supporting roles, anyway, he will appear for two or three minutes, and it is still a group scene, and there are very few supporting roles in close-ups of more than five seconds.

And Li Mu, a character with a little more scenes, has to audition in person, regardless of fame and background, it must meet the characteristics of the role, and this movie cannot afford to lose.

......

When Li Mu returned home, there was already a lot of noise on the Internet, as long as there was news of Li Mu in someone's corner.

Almost all the media reported on the homepage the super blockbuster of Li Mu's 2 billion investment.

"Shocked! The most expensive movie in history, Li Mu spent two billion to create a classical myth and reproduce the myth of the flood wilderness!"

"The famous director Li Mu's new work has been confirmed, and it is named "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation", with an estimated investment of more than 2 billion!"

"Li Mu announced at the press conference held at the China World Summit Wing Hotel today that he will shoot "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" to show the audience the battle of the dragon, phoenix and unicorn in ancient times!"

"Comparable to Hollywood, domestic film investment has reached a new high!"

...

For a while, the Internet was full of this kind of shocking and amazing news, and the soy sauce party that made the onlookers also unknown.

At first, people thought it was hype, after all, in this era where an investment of 100 million is even a blockbuster, it is too unbelievable to spend 2 billion to make a movie.

However, as time passes, there are more and more similar news, and people slowly begin to believe such headlines no matter which website they open.

", is today April Fool's Day, invest two billion to make a movie?"

"It must be that I haven't woken up yet, so I'll go back to sleep!"

"Is it me who has crossed over or this world, the box office record of domestic movies is only 2.3 billion, and it will cost 2 billion to make a movie!"

"This publicity is done well, and it probably cost a lot of money to buy so many media, but it successfully attracted the attention of Uncle Ben. ”

"What's going on, is it true or not, I went to the official website of Li Mu's company and took a look, and there was a notice of an audition, not saying two billion investments!"

"The people on the street are all scattered, these are all those reporters who cheat traffic!"

"The top one, whether it's true or not, support Li Mu!"

"Support Li Mu, I have a hunch that this movie will be very shocking!"

"Upstairs NC fans, firm finish!"

"Li Mu is too arrogant, investing so much money is about to be wasted, do you really think you can make the effect of "Avatar"? After making two movies, I don't know how thick the sky is!"

"SB cents are thick, "Avatar" is a hanging, and it wasn't pressed on the ground by Li Mu back then!"

"Winning "Avatar" is not by conspiracy, and I don't dare to compete in an honest way, I don't think "Avatar" will be said this time, it would be good to be able to make "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" with the same effect!"

"SB, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, what about "Pirates of the Caribbean", I'm embarrassed to blow the special effects of those five cents, if it weren't for Uncle Depp, this movie would have hit the street a long time ago, open your eyes and watch "Zhao Zilong", "Wolf Warrior", and "Looking for the Dragon" carefully!"

There was a lot of hype on the Internet, but because Li Mu did not come forward to explain, there was not even a notice, and now there are various statements.

Seeing that the two sides were arguing, the official website of Tianmu Company officially issued a notice that the new film written and directed by Li Mu himself will hold auditions for "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" in the near future, and it is expected to officially start shooting at the end of October.

One, two, three, four... Eight, nine, nine zeros, it's really two billion!

The big string of zeros is so dazzling that I can't see it clearly at a glance, so I can only count them one by one.

got the official admission of Tianmu Company, and then it was really sure that the news was true, and the previous speculations disappeared, and the topic slowly turned to the movie itself and the actors.

"Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" is clear enough with these four words, after all, many people have seen the Internet now, and they are still relatively clear about these.

As for the actors, the audience felt that Li Mu would definitely use his own actors, after all, the previous films were like this, giving priority to his own family.

For a while, there was speculation about the various characters.

In addition to these, there are occasionally some discordant voices, and a literary film director criticized Li Mu's behavior on Weibo, saying that he is wasting money to make something meaningless, and he should make more films with connotation.

Li Muli doesn't want to pay attention to this kind of argument, movies are originally a form of entertainment, do I have a problem with making the audience happy to watch?

Labor and management cater to the audience is not disciplined, and why do you make those so-called literary films to cater to the audience.

It's just that the difference is that Li Mu caters to domestic audiences, while the so-called literary film directors cater to European audiences.

A camera, the entire crew does not add up to 30 people, just pull two actors to shoot a film that reflects China's backwardness and ignorance, and go to those film festivals in Europe to go around twice, and it can sell for tens of millions of yuan at will.

If you are lucky enough to get a nomination, you will have to sell the copyrights of European countries for three or four million yuan.

And how much does this kind of film cost? Two or three million yuan a day! Plus the cost of attending various film festivals and how much can it cost?

With the increasing investment in domestic blockbusters, some small investors have set their sights on those "literary films".

This busy work can double the income after changing hands in two months, and projects with low investment, fast returns, and low risks are more popular than commercial blockbusters that often cost two or three billion yuan and return cyclical fields and big risks.

The so-called literary and artistic circle is actually a sick industry, which specializes in going to those poor counties and villages in the mountains to shoot, and Europeans can shoot whatever they like to watch, this is the real lack of discipline!

I just came back from overtime, I'm going to cultivate immortals tonight, I don't know if I can sleep before two o'clock, I don't have time to check, there are typos and language problems, everyone take care of it!

Good night!
