When the movie ended, Li Mu sat nervously in his chair, waiting for the result, as if a prisoner was facing a trial.

Slowly, the end of the film ended, there was darkness on the big screen, and the audience did not disappoint him, and the applause came like a tide and lasted for a long time.

"Whew!"

Li Mu exhaled and leaned back in his chair.

Although many screenings have been held across the country in the past two months, the word-of-mouth and response are also quite good.

However, the audience who generally participates in the screening is a loyal fan, and it is rare to screen a movie with a bad reputation.

Now the applause and cheers of the tens of thousands of spectators in the audience finally reassured him.

"Mr. Li, we succeeded!" Lu Yi said excitedly, this is his first film to join the studio, although he is just a big villain, and he didn't even show his face, but this success gave him great confidence, and he believes that the next movie will be so successful.

"It worked... "Chen Qiaoen is also very emotional.

"Haha, my grandson is here, it's just intolerable if it's not hot!" Peng Yuyan's arrogant voice came at the right time.

But when he was happy, everyone didn't bother with him too much.

Li Mu also sighed, "It's not easy, it's been a year, our first movie has finally been released, I am relieved to see the reaction of so many audiences on the scene, I have worked hard during this time, and I haven't gone back for the New Year!"

After sighing with emotion, Li Mu took them to prepare for the subsequent press conference, and at the same time instructed the staff to arrange for the audience to leave smoothly and not to have any problems.

From the passage on the other side, I felt that the press conference had been prepared for a long time, and a group of reporters were waiting there early.

Seeing Li Mu arrive with a few actors, no matter if they hadn't come on stage yet, they rushed up.

However, Li Mu had already prepared for this, and the staff at the press conference immediately stopped them and reminded them to pay attention to order.

Under their protection, Li Mu and others came to the stage smoothly.

Li Mu picked up the microphone and cleared his throat, "I'm very happy that everyone can come to the premiere of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, presumably everyone is anxious to go back and reunite with their families, then let's start directly!"

As Li Mu's voice fell, the reporters were not ambiguous and began to ask questions.

"Mr. Li, why did you choose to hold the premiere at the Workers' Gymnasium, are you so sure that the audience will come?"

"If the gymnasium is not full, Mr. Li, will you be embarrassed?"

"Are you looking for so many viewers?"

Li Mu replied with a smile, "I believe in the charm of "The Return of the Great Sage", after such a long time of screening, it has already had a good reputation through the audience's word of mouth, as for whether the audience will come or not, it is not something I can predict, if the situation that this reporter said really appears, of course I will be embarrassed, after all, so many people are watching, it will be a shame!"

Listening to Li Mu's self-deprecation, everyone laughed.

Li Mu continued, "I dare to guarantee that none of the more than 10,000 viewers I hired, and everyone can see from the audience's reactions, if this is really a trust, then the acting skills are too good, I don't have a place to find so many extras with good acting skills!"

"Half of the time at this premiere was singing, like a concert, is Mr. Li doing this to attract the audience?" the reporter asked again.

Li Mudao, "Of course not, the reason why I invited so many stars is to not make everyone feel bored, and everyone doesn't want to listen to me speaking there for so long, otherwise the audience should scold me, and I won't block everyone during the New Year!"

"Then Mr. Li, why did you think of making such a movie in the first place? The havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Three White Bone Spirits, the Daughter Country, etc. in "Journey to the West" are all very classic plots, why did you choose such a plot?" the reporter continued to ask.

Li Mu said with a smile, "It's because of the classics that I don't dare to adapt it easily, the story of "Journey to the West" is already familiar to everyone, if it is not filmed well, wouldn't it be a waste, so I made up another story!"

"Can you talk about the core of the idea that this movie wants to express?"

Li Mu thought for a while, "This movie is actually about Jiang Liuer's heroic dream, like many children, dreaming of becoming a big hero, in addition, this movie also tells everyone a truth, justice may be late, but it will never be absent, just like what Sun Wukong said in the movie, I'm fine, I'm just tired, let's go together after a while!"

After the fire of this movie in memory, there were many analyses on the Internet, some deep and some shallow, just like Li Bai's poems, Lu Xun's articles, an exclamation mark, and a good night can be over-interpreted.

Fundamentally speaking, this is a very ordinary story, two main lines, two protagonists, Sun Wukong, who lost his mana and wanted to find himself, and Jiang Liuer, who was honest and kind and wanted to save the children.

"Mr. Li, at present, the "Avatar" of "Thai Embarrassment" is in a stalemate at the box office, what impact do you think it will have on these two movies when "The Return of the Great Sage" is released at this time?" a reporter asked a digression.

Li Mudao, "It is inevitable that there will be an impact, the release of a new movie means a reduction in the number of films, and there will be no box office without a film schedule, and the specific situation will probably not be revealed until the box office statistics come out!"

"The box office of "Thai Embarrassment" has exceeded 800 million, and now the outside world predicts that this movie can break through the billion mark, what do you think, Mr. Li?" the reporter continued.

Li Mu said with a smile, "Thank you for your expectations, of course I hope that the higher the box office, the better, the high box office proves that the audience likes it, and the most important thing for a filmmaker is to be recognized by the audience!"

Of course, there were also discordant voices, and suddenly a reporter asked a very sharp question.

"I want to ask Mr. Li, at the end of the movie, Sun Wukong shouted three times and then called the Buddha after he didn't respond, and then the seal was unlocked, why did you arrange it like this??"

！！

Someone looking for trouble is coming!

Thinking of Han Sanping's reminder before, Li Mu knew that the person who asked this question was uneasy and kind.

This plot is indeed easy to be misunderstood, but he already has a draft in his heart, and said unhurriedly, "This is actually the same as calling a Buddha in the lyrics, turning back without a shore, entering the Buddha's door, he is no longer the free and unruly Monkey King, he has tasted all the world, human feelings are cold and soft, there are fetters in his heart, and there are people he cares about, he has to bow his head!"

In general, the press conference is still a harmonious scene, after all, with the success of "Thai Embarrassment" in front, no one can guarantee whether this movie will be a big hit.
