Chapter 125: The Most Powerful Man in Hollywood

Liaison producer Auror Copa said: "The city management of Paris will come to the scene the day after tomorrow to watch the explosion test, and they are still a little worried."

Li Mu turned his head to look at Tom Hanks and said, "When the explosion effect was demonstrated, everyone went to the scene to take a look, this explosion scene is very close to the actors, although it is technically absolutely safe, but after all, it is human nature to be afraid of explosions, and it is good to rest assured to see the effect on the spot."

Tom Hanks nodded, "OK."

Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei again, and Liu Yifei also nodded and said, "I'm OK too."

In fact, she is still very scared in her heart, she has studied the sub-shots of that scene, and the explosion point is really very close to the actors, but others are not afraid, and she can't be afraid, this scene can't drop the chain from her Liu Yifei.

This scene is about the male protagonist Cobb and the talented female college student (dreamer Liu Yifei) borrowed from his father-in-law, and the two sit in a café on the street of Paris and talk about dreams.

When Cobb tells the college girl that they are dreaming, everything around them starts exploding - the bookstalls, fruit stands, cafes, grounds, buildings, and everything around them.

That's right!

This explosion scene that looks extremely shocking was actually filmed in real time, how can director Nolan be called a real-life maniac without a reason?

The filming location is on the streets of Paris, and you can see the Eiffel Tower as soon as you look up, with the degree of the French treasure the Eiffel Tower, someone would want to shoot the explosion so close to the Eiffel Tower?

What? You say your technology is absolutely safe?

What? You say it's not chemical explosives, it's not nitroglycerin, it's not TNT, it's air cannons?

Don't tell me those useless things, you can give us a sample first!

Proofing must be proofed, showing the Parisian side is one thing, and reassuring the actors is another.

[I pray to have a transparent heart and tearful eyes, giving me the courage to believe again......]

At this time, Li Mu's mobile phone rang, and Liu Yifei suddenly felt that Li Mu's mobile phone ringtone was so familiar - wasn't this the song she sang at the premiere of "The King of Kung Fu"? :

was actually made by Li Mu to make his mobile phone ringtone.

Liu Yifei, who reacted, turned his head to look at Li Mu, and after looking at it for a while, he felt a little embarrassed and turned his head back.

I thought, can the people in the room hear that Li Mu's mobile phone ringtone is actually a song she sings?

If someone can hear it, then will they think about her relationship with Li Mu?

In short, just when Liu Yifei was constantly thinking about it, Li Mu had already pressed the connect button.

The caller was from an unfamiliar number with an address in the United States.

Telephone connection:

"Yes, I'm Li Mu."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll direct Manchester by the Sea myself."

"Yes, yes, I'll direct The Revenant myself."

"I'm not sure yet, let's see the work arrangement."

"Giving the film to The Weinstein Company for distribution?"

"It depends on the follow-up arrangement, there is no way to know for sure yet."

"Hahaha...... Certainly know Weinstein...... Know...... You know, you know, you're very capable of running the Oscars."

"An Asian director's first Academy Award for Best Picture? I remember Director Li Amine ......?"

"Hmm...... Good ......."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu found that everyone was staring at him.

Especially Tom Hanks and Marion Cotillard, the eyes of these two people looking at Li Mu are particularly unusual.

The worry in Tom Hanks's eyes flickered, and Marion Cotillard's eyes were full of brilliance.

Li Mu explained with a smile: "Harvey Weinstein's call, he wants to run two of my plays – 'Manchester by the Sea' and 'The Revenant'."

"Hahaha......

Saying that, Li Mu suddenly couldn't help laughing: "This person is really the top of the 'painting pie'

Master, bragging—guess what he just said?"

Everyone waited quietly for Li Mu to speak.

"He said he wanted to help me become the first Asian director to win the Oscar for Best Picture." Li Mu smiled, "I seem to remember that Director Li Amine has already won the Oscar, but this Harvey Weinstein said that Director Li Amine won the Hauska Best Director Award, and he has the ability to let me win Hauska's biggest and most important award - the Academy Award for Best Picture!"

Li Mu shook his head as he said and said, "Harvey Weinstein does have a strong ability to operate the Oscar statuette, but when he came up, he said that he must be sure that "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Revenant" will all win the Hauska statuette, which must be a bragging, after all, the Academy Awards are not opened by his Weinstein family."

"Hahaha......

After laughing, Li Mu found that the whole room was almost silent except for him laughing, everyone was looking at Li Mu quietly, but no one made a sound.

Of course, Li Mu knew that Harvey Weinstein was very powerful.

Can a 23-year prison sentence not be bad?

It seems that Iron Man's wife, Pepper, was slept with by him?

The eldest cousin seems to have been rumored all along, but it has not been confirmed.

Of course, sleeping women are good because other people's careers are more powerful.

How simple is it that the man who claims to be the most powerful man in Hollywood, the God of Hollywood, and the God of Hollywood?

Before Li Mu crossed, Li Mu saw a list of Harvey Weinstein's glorious achievements, as of which year Li Mu did not pay attention, in short, before Li Mu crossed, the films that Harvey Weinstein participated in the production and distribution had won more than 300 Oscar nominations, more than 70 statuettes, and won the best picture 5 times.

Among them, there are as many as 23 acting awards, including 6 times for Best Supporting Actor and 10 times for Best Supporting Actress.

Just looking at this list of accomplishments is blinding, in the words of Colin Firth, "Harvey has an intuition beyond the ordinary. I'm referring to his judgment, the movies he picks."

The movies that have been made this shipment are indeed unworthy of the name, such as the best Oscar best film "Weng Sha's Love History", which is known as the most watery.

But no one can deny Harvey Wayne's ability to uncover works and talents, a man with extremely poor personal ethics but amazing talent!

Li Mu said it was completely good, Harvey Weinstein said that he was sure to let Li Mu's two scripts - "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Revenant", let all the movies made by these two scripts win the Oscar, there is no doubt that he is definitely bragging!

But none of the people in the room today thought this was funny.

Harvey Weinstein said that Li Mu's two scripts all have a chance to win the Oscar, maybe he can't guarantee it, but at least it shows that Li Mu's two scripts really have this potential!

Especially Marion Cotillard, who just won the Oscar, her eyes looking at Li Mu at this moment were obviously surprised and incredible.

She has really won the Oscar for Best Actress, so she knows better than anyone how difficult it is to win this award, how many things she has to give up, and how much sacrifice she has to make.

Hong Jinbao said: "This Harvey Weinstein I know that he is very obsessed with Chinese martial arts films, and Zhang Yimou's "Hero" is in charge of distribution. and "The King of Kung Fu", which was released this year, and this movie is fundamentally promoted by it. The development rights of the sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Amine are in his hands. Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" and "Hang the Red Lantern High" were nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and Weinstein also contributed to it."

"Harvey Weinstein has a bad reputation, and many people don't like him, but no one dares to underestimate him."

Marion Cotillard, who had just won the Oscar, began to briefly introduce Harvey Weinstein's dazzling record to everyone.

Three Oscars for Best Film: "The English Patient", "Shakespeare's Love History", "Chicago".

Two-time Oscar-winning actor: the 62nd, Daniel De Louis "My Left Foot"; 71st, Rob

Tobenini "Life is Beautiful"

Three-time Oscar actress: the 66th, Holly Hunt's "The Piano Lesson"; 71st, Gwyneth Paltrow's Shakespeare in Love; 75th, Nicole Kidman "All the Time".

After Marion Cotillard briefly introduced Harvey Weinstein's brilliant achievements, almost everyone in the room looked at Li Mu with a hint of alpine admiration.

Such a powerful Hollywood boss, a man who claims to be the most powerful man in Hollywood, and a person with the titles of "Hollywood God" and "Hollywood God", actually values Li Mu's two scripts so much?! Dare to pat his chest and promise to let Li Mu's two scripts all win the Oscars? !

So these two of Li Mu's are called ...... What are the scripts of "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Revenant" called, and how awesome should they be?!

Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu in front of him, and was stunned when he looked at it.

How much she used to worship Hollywood, how much she admires Li Mu now.

"Congratulations to Director Li."

"Director Li is awesome!"

"I feel that all the directors in China, yes, all the directors, have been left far behind by Director Li."

"Do you want to work with this Harvey Weinstein...... We'll have to discuss it again." Saying that, Li Mu looked at Tom Hanks, ""Manchester by the Sea" has been agreed to be starring Mr. Hanks, and "The Revenant" has not yet been decided, so at least which company will the movie "Manchester by the Sea" be handed over to in the future for distribution, I will discuss privately with Mr. Hanks first."

At the same time, Li Mu is also thinking that as his fame grows, it is almost inevitable that his works will be targeted in the future.

Take the two scripts of "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Revenant" as an example, if he is really the original creator of the two scripts, then there is no need for him to put the script on the shelves before the film starts shooting.

If it wasn't published, Harvey Weinstein wouldn't have found Li Mu because he didn't know the two scripts existed.

But it's a pity that he is not the original creator.

That's right, he has already written the script, and copyright protection measures have been taken, even if the author of his original time and space later created the script, it was he who copied Li Mu, not Li Mu who copied him, but ...... It's just a little bad after all.

Therefore, in the case of not being sure when the script will officially start filming, in order to avoid this embarrassment and trouble, Li Mu will inevitably release the versions of the two works after deciding to shoot these two works.

The author of the original time and space can't see Li Mu's script, so he may create it again and collide with Li Mu.

If you see it, you will feel like Dong Chou in "Charlotte's Troubles", feeling living in the shadow of Li Mu.

Therefore, it has almost become Li Mu's standard action to advertise it widely and let the original author of the original time and space dispel the idea of creation after seeing it as much as possible.

But because of this, it is almost inevitable that his two works will be targeted before they are filmed.
