On the afternoon of June 27, Cheng Long's latest movie "Hurricane Rescue" held a banquet at the Huaxia Hotel in Beijing to celebrate the box office miracle of "Hurricane Rescue" within three days.

Cheng Long also said at the celebration that he expects "Hurricane Rescue" to break through the box office of 250 million, Korean films are released in South Korea for 30 million US dollars, the highest one "Tai Chi Flag Flying" is 120 million US dollars, China has a population of 1.3 billion, the market is huge, and the potential is huge, he does not believe that 200 million box office and 300 million box office are the upper limit of Chinese films.

When asked what he expects from the North American box office of "Hurricane Rescue", Cheng Long said that he certainly hopes to break the record of $130 million for the highest box office of a Chinese film in North America set by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and said that this record has been held for five years, and it is time to be broken.

It is reported that the release time of "Hurricane Rescue" in the United States has been scheduled for August 25.

……

At the end of June, Li Mu sent the Chinese and English manuscripts of "The Hunger Games 2: Burning Girl" to editor Qin Li, and within 10 minutes, editor Qin Li's phone called.

"Congratulations, "Hurricane Rescue" has created a box office miracle, and now this movie is very likely to top the mainland box office championship on the Internet, surpassing the box office record of 250 million yuan created by "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou."

"Thank you, now there are theaters rising every day in China, and the number of screens is growing rapidly every year, "Hurricane Rescue" may not be able to break the box office record of "Hero", but this record will be broken sooner or later, and this time may come soon."

Qin Li said with a smile: "Yes, don't be surprised, then I'll tell you another good news, although the final number has not yet been determined, but it is basically the same, the sales of "The Hunger Games" in June are likely to exceed 1 million copies, which is already the book has topped the bestseller list in the United States for three consecutive months, and the results have surpassed "Harry Potter". ”

Although Li Mu was very happy, because he had long known the potential of this book, he was a little too calm when he showed it.

"Yes, very good results, the sales exceed "Harry Potter" as a promotional talk, we don't have to take it seriously, my book will sell for a few years at most, "Harry Potter" will continue to sell well, and the overall value is not comparable."

Qin Li said with a smile: "The annual sales of one million copies are enough for people to swell, I didn't expect you to be so sober when you sell one million copies this month, it's rare, it seems that I have nothing to ask you, and I can write a book with peace of mind, and strive to write "The Hunger Games 3" as soon as possible." ”

"Okay."

Qin Li smiled again: "Actually, I have been wanting to call you during this time, I want to persuade you to write a book with peace of mind, "The Hunger Games" can achieve such results in the United States, it is really not easy, but looking at the box office results of your movie "Hurricane Rescue", this call is not easy to call, it can be seen that you can also achieve achievements that are not weaker than writing books when you write scripts and make movies." ”

Li Mu said: "I don't delay writing a book when I make a movie, by the way, Editor Qin, I want to stop "The Hunger Games 3" first, the first part has only been released for half a year, the second part has already been written, and if I write the third part immediately, I feel that the time is too intensive, so I want to put the three first, the script is different, and I will change my brain." ”

Of course, Qin Li hopes that Li Mu can finish writing "The Hunger Games" in one go, the results of this book are too rebellious, I am afraid that there will be no such results in the future, but she is not good at telling Li Muming about this worry.

An author who has achieved this kind of achievement at a young age cannot be without a little arrogance in her heart, and she is afraid that she will say too much and cause the other party to be disgusted.

"Okay, you can do it yourself, the new book is ready to send it to me, and I'll contact the publication."

"Okay, thank you Editor Qin."

"You're welcome."

Hanging up the phone, Li Mu began to think about his next book, among the several science fiction works he wanted to occupy in advance, "Inception", "Interstellar" and "Gravity" did not have original novels, what kind of results could be achieved when written Li Mu was not sure, now is the critical moment for him to make a name for himself in the American novel industry, for the sake of insurance, Li Mu finally set the goal of "The Martian".

After the goal was determined, Li Mu quickly began to write, this time because he had read the original novel, so he wrote more quickly.

While he was stepping up his time to write a novel, "Hurricane Rescue" was breaking box office records one after another.

In the mainland, "Hurricane Rescue" won 150 million box office in 10 days, and there was almost no suspense about breaking 200 million.

In the Xiangjiang area, the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" exceeded 60 million Hong Kong dollars in 11 days, and it is about to surpass the total box office of "Shaolin Football" in the Xiangjiang area.

In the treasure island area, "Hurricane Rescue" swept 250 million Taiwan dollars in 11 days.

Looking at the situation, "Hurricane Rescue" will almost definitely break the box office record of 250 million set by Zhang Yimou's "Hero".

Suddenly, the entire Chinese film industry was talking about "Hurricane Rescue", and there was no film company that didn't want to replicate the success of "Hurricane Rescue". So everyone is researching what makes this movie achieve such a huge result.

Is it because of Cheng Long's strong box office appeal?

But Brother Cheng Long's previous movies were not ideal at the box office, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a blood loss, and the media has even publicly labeled it as box office poison, so why is this movie just okay again?

That's because the director's level is high enough?

Chen Musheng's directing ability is really good, but to say that this movie has achieved such dazzling results because of director Chen Musheng, everyone always feels that it is not convincing.

Is that because the investment in the movie is big enough and the action scenes are exciting enough?

"Hurricane Rescue" invested more than 60 million, and the scale of investment alone is indeed not small, but it is impossible to say how big the investment of 60 million is.

The action scenes are really exciting, almost all the viewers who have watched the movie are emphasizing this point, and everyone agrees that the fight design of Brother Cheng Long's movie is clean and neat, without any mud and water, and it is particularly enjoyable to watch.

But what the audience is most talked about about in the whole movie is the plot design of the movie and the successful shaping of the protagonist's personal image.

So who is the biggest contributor to the design of the plot and the successful shaping of the character's personal image?

Brother Cheng Long is definitely one of the biggest heroes, and the successful shaping of the protagonist's image is inseparable from Brother Cheng Long's wonderful performance.

But what else?

Script and action design are especially crucial.

The script was written by Li Mu?

Li Mu!

Who is in charge of the motion design?

Theoretically, Cheng Long himself and Cheng Jiaban are responsible, but long before the movie was released, it was rumored in the circle that screenwriter Li Mu was almost fully responsible for the action design of the movie, and even Cheng Long's own desire to add an action scene was vetoed by Li Mu.

This incident was once circulated in the circle as a joke about Li Mu's low emotional intelligence.

But now look back.

In short, while the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" broke a series of records, Li Mu's name began to be frequently mentioned in the circle.

Not many ordinary viewers outside the circle have noticed Li Mu, but inside the entertainment industry, Li Mu is indeed a blockbuster.
