Regarding the TV series suitable for Liu Yifei to act, Li Mu first thought of the Japanese drama called "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 09, it was not wrong, but its original comic had already begun to be serialized as early as 00, so Li Mu had to dispel the idea of this drama, or he could buy the copyright in the future, but after all, this option was temporarily excluded by Li Mu.

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

He immediately logged in, searched for the words "Celebrating More Than Years", and after checking the catalog, he found that at this time, Mao Yu had already written the novel to the fourth volume of Beihai Fog, and the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years" happened to be the fourth volume.

Enough!

And in this time period, the higher-level departments have not yet issued a wear restriction order, if Li Mu filmed "Celebrating More Than Years" in advance, he could not use the modern drama in the first few minutes.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately registered a starting account for himself, without a screen name, using a digital number automatically generated by the system, and after registration, he recharged 10,000 yuan casually, and then gave the author a 1,000 reward.

One thousand yuan, which is just the price of an alliance leader.

However, Li Mu did not contact Mao Yi directly, the copyright is in the hands of the starting point, he just communicates directly with the senior management of the starting point.

The next day, Liu Siying found a starting point on behalf of Huashang and bought all the copyrights of "Celebrating More Than Years" at a relatively low price, including the written part and the unwritten part.

After the contract is signed, even if the cat is tired from now on, Huashang has the right to continue filming this series on its own.

Huashang Media has its own screenwriting team, and after the adaptation rights were bought, Li Mu and his own screenwriting team held a two-day meeting, and then he explained his requirements for the script to the screenwriters clearly, and then he only needed to regularly check the work progress of the screenwriters.

This group of screenwriters are all Huashang spent a lot of money to dig up the industry leaders, and their real level is not necessarily as good as the team of later generations, and there is also Li Mu, a plug-in who can grasp the direction at any time, and keep it when it encounters a place that is better than what is written by later generations, and ask to change it when it is not as good as what is written by later generations, and sometimes even copy the wonderful content of later generations by himself.

At the same time, the preparatory work for "Inception" has been officially launched since August, at this time Li Mu's side has formed a relatively fixed behind-the-scenes group, this group is based on the old people of the West Film Group, and also absorbs some outstanding talents from all over the country.

All kinds of preliminary preparations began to be carried out in an orderly manner, and Li Mu communicated with China Film, Western Film, Huayi, Berner, etc. at any time about various problems encountered in the preparation process of the film.

At the same time, one after another transatlantic calls came out of Li Mu's mobile phone, and on the other hand, film and television stars from all over the world began to converge in Huaxia, 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 invitation to play the leading role, Li Mu invited other Hollywood actors as if it was like a divine help.

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

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the crew of "Inception" never deliberately wanted to hide the news, so soon there was news that this was actually director Li Mu's science fiction novel "Inception" was about to start filming, and these actors were invited by director Li Mu to audition.

At this time, the sales of the Chinese version of the "Inception" novel in China have exceeded 800,000 copies, which is higher than the sales of the English version published in the United States, and belongs to the proper bestseller level.

Li Mu's personal fame may not be anything in Hollywood, but he is already a proper top performer in China, and basically few Chinese people don't know about him.

In terms of the rapid rise and fame, even director Zhang Yimou, who has been appointed as the chief director of the Olympic Games, is not inferior, and it is estimated that it will be until the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is a god before the great director Zhang Yimou can really stabilize Li Mu's fame.

What does this mean?

On behalf of Li Mu, he has successfully achieved the scene described to Liu Cixin when he was at the gathering of science fiction world magazine, science fiction is a niche theme in China, even if the work is well written, it is difficult to sell more than 50,000 copies, but if the work or author can get out of the circle and let outsiders know the author and work, then science fiction novels are still promising.

Now that Li Mu has reached the scene he described at the beginning, his huge fame in the directing industry, and his amazing achievements in the American publishing industry, these have made people from all walks of life know Li Mu as a person, and some people will be curious about the books written by Li Mu.

The Chinese version of "The Hunger Games" sold more than two million copies, the Chinese version of "The Martian" sold more than one million copies, the Chinese version of Inception "Interstellar", "Moon" and "Divergent" each sold more than 800,000 copies, and even the Chinese version of the last published "Moving Maze" sold more than 100,000 copies.

So far, the total sales of the Chinese version of Li Mu's novel have exceeded five million copies, and a huge group of book fans has gradually formed, which naturally includes a large number of die-hard fans of "Inception", so as soon as the news that "Inception" is about to be made into a movie, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire fan circle.

"Is Inception really going to be a movie? Don't be so hasty, okay! I'm afraid that Li Mu will ruin the classics, because to be honest, Li Mu's movies are good-looking, but in fact, the logical rigor is seriously insufficient, "Hurricane Rescue" is relatively strong, and "Assassin" is refreshing, but only the cool explosion is left, and the logic is hard. "Super Body" is even worse, Li Lianhua is super handsome, but the logic of the script is also super embarrassing. "Inception" has too high requirements for logic, and most people are stupid directly in the four-layer dream, so I suddenly have an ominous premonition, that is, the box office may be okay, but it will definitely not be the "Inception" in my mind! ”

"You're worried, aren't you? The original novel was written by Li Mu, in terms of understanding the original work, is there anything in the world that can compare to director Li Mu? If Li Mu can't shoot "Inception" well, then no one can shoot it well. ”

"In short, Li Mu has never made a movie with too strict logic, I hope he can make progress in this movie."

At the same time, the film and television industry in China also exploded.

In the past, Chinese stars went to Hollywood, and they had to be scolded at every turn, no matter how big a star you are in the Chinese world, people still don't respect you in Hollywood.

Even international superstar Cheng Long once complained that when he first started in Hollywood, he had no dignity at all, and people wanted to scold you at every turn and tell you to get out.

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

But now, feng shui takes turns, and Hollywood stars have come to Huaxia in droves to participate in auditions, and they even have to let a Chinese director choose.

At this moment, many domestic actors' faith in Hollywood began to show a crack, 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, blowing up the entire entertainment industry in a daze.

Actresses such as Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun, Shu Qi, Ningning, etc., male stars such as Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Chen Kun, Liu Ye, etc., in addition to some domestic veteran actors, as well as some very famous actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, everyone is trying to find a way to inquire about the news, and they are doing everything possible to seek an opportunity to join director Li Mu's new film.

It was also at this moment that Li Mu was a guest on CCTV's face-to-face program and was interviewed by CCTV reporter Wang Ning.
