Hearing this reporter's question, the eyes of the major companies at the scene lit up.

A fully computer-produced film like this will definitely take a long time to make, so Li Mu is estimated to have no time to make other movies in the next two years.

If that's the case, it's really good news for them, at least there will be one less strong opponent in the summer or Chinese New Year file.

There are even many people who are thinking that Li Mu had better be completely dragged to death by this huge project, with such a developed film industry base in the United States, coupled with the existence of the technical madman Cameron, "Avatar" will still be filmed for three years.

And Li Mu has only made two 3D movies, he must lack experience, there is no precedent for such a cumbersome project in China, and I am afraid that it will not be completed in three years.

And the most important thing is related technology, in this regard, these domestic special effects companies are obviously inferior to Industrial Light & Magic, Weta Digital, which are also special effects giants, in terms of technology and experience.

Some people even prayed in their hearts that this project would be filmed for five or six years, and then he Li Mu would have been forgotten by the audience for so long after leaving the film industry, and the domestic film industry would have another huge cake that could be distributed.

"Tsk, this Li Mu really dares to do it, don't you feel distressed when you lose so much money?" said Wang Zhonglei, one of the Wang brothers on the side.

Wang Zhongjun shook his head, "Even if it loses, it won't hurt him, Tianmu Company is his Li Mu alone, and it hasn't grown from a small studio to a large company with assets of nearly 10 billion yuan in less than three years, and if he loses these two billion, he won't make money for a year!"

Seeing that Li Mu actually spent two billion yuan to make a movie, even if the relationship between the two parties was not good, he was quite impressed.

If you want to stay in Huayi, let alone two billion, even if it is a big investment of 500 million, he can't decide it himself.

On the surface, Huayi is the property of his two brothers, and he Wang Zhongjun is the emperor of this acre and three points of land.

In fact, the total shares of their brothers are only more than 30 percent, and the other nearly 70 percent of the shares are in the hands of some venture capital and fund organizations, except for a part of the shares circulating in the market.

"Painted Skin 2", which was released last year, was a project proposed by Wang Zhongjun himself, but it was unanimously opposed by the board of directors, and most shareholders believed that Chen Kun and Zhao Wei's previous "Mulan" failed miserably at the box office, and did not agree to launch a second part.

It is precisely because he does not have enough control over the company, and now seeing that Li Mu alone can decide a big project of two billion, Wang Zhongjun can't help but clench his fists, and secretly decide in his heart that he must firmly control the company in his own hands, and it feels too uncomfortable to be restrained everywhere.

However, Li Mu is afraid that some people will be disappointed, he said with a smile, "This movie is expected to be released in the Chinese New Year next year, I hope everyone can support it when the time comes, but don't let my money go down the drain." ”

Will it be released next year?

How is this possible!

Whether it's a reporter or someone in the entertainment industry, they obviously don't believe what Li Mu said, if you are an ordinary 3D movie, it will be almost the same if it is released next year.

The question is that this is a fully computer production, a super masterpiece like "Avatar", how can it be in more than a year.

"Li Mu, are you serious? It takes more than a year to shoot a fully computer-produced special effects blockbuster?" the reporter asked with a questioning tone.

Li Mu said calmly, "That's right, according to expectations, the movie will be released next year!"

""Avatar" has been filmed for three years, Mr. Li, does it only take more than a year for your "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" to ensure the quality?"

It's no wonder that he has such concerns, when 3D movies first came out, a large number of pseudo-3D blockbusters appeared in China and even the world, and some of them were crazy and just made the subtitles into three-dimensional special effects, and they made a lot of money.

He suspected that Li Mu, like those people, was making an ordinary 3D movie under the name of this all-computer production, which was just a gimmick, in order to attract the audience into the cinema.

Li Mu was not annoyed by their suspicious gaze, but explained with a smile, "This movie actually started to prepare as early as last summer, and the preliminary preparations for the film have been completed, and the models that need to be used have all been made, from August last year to November next year, there will be more than two years, if everything goes well, the time is enough!"

"Moreover, "Avatar" has been filmed for more than three years, it doesn't mean that I will also shoot it for more than three years, what the Chinese people can't do, we Chinese people may not be able to do it. The times are developing, science and technology are advancing, today's special effects technology has developed rapidly compared to previous years, and our Huaxia technicians are definitely the most dedicated and efficient workers in the world, they can often work overtime until late at night, can accept shifts, shifts, these people are the source of my confidence!"

Our workers once built hundreds of high-voltage towers in Turkey overnight, while the Turks took three days to build seven.

From the start of the project to the end of the overall replacement of a bridge in Beijing, the overall replacement work lasted only 43 hours, starting from 11 o'clock on Friday night to replace the new bridge at 6 p.m. on Sunday. The bridge passed smoothly that night and did not affect the traffic in the capital in the slightest.

After that, a section of the Wujiu Railway staged a scene that shocked the world, and the 10,000-ton bridge turned 90 degrees and staged aerial gymnastics. The box girder, which weighs 11,000 tons, is 100 meters long and 24 meters wide, and after "turning in the air" 90 degrees, it successfully crosses four railway lines, including the Wuhan-Kowloon Railway and the special chemical line, in 72 minutes, with an error of no more than 10 millimeters.

Our workers are astounding the world with huge projects that are amazed by their efficiency.

With these thousands of hard-working workers, Li Mu is confident that the film will be completed in a year and a half.

What's more, there is a person in their village who works in Shenzhen with a monthly salary of 15,000, and the salary in the factory is generally 3 to 4,000, and he gets a monthly salary of 15,000 through piecework, and the efficiency can be imagined how terrifying it is.

"Mr. Li, do you mean that the film has already begun to make special effects?" a reporter asked.

Li Mu nodded, "I have entrusted the special effects of "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" to PO Chaoting, and I have been working on the pre-production special effects since the second half of last year, with more than 5,000 workers working in shifts twenty-four hours a day, and the current progress is very ideal!"

5,000 workers, working 24 hours a day, and for a whole year!

The reporters were silent, and so were the filmmakers on the scene.

Only then did they know why Li Mu had the confidence to say this.

The people of Mi do not work overtime, which means that he can do one day is worth three days for others, even if he has no experience, he is faster than "Avatar", and two years is indeed enough.
