Chapter 130 Exchange of Benefits

On the morning of the next day, Li Mu accompanied the Paris municipal personnel, Tom Hanks, Liu Yifei and others to visit the explosion effect on the spot, and the test was carried out indoors.

The crew's pyrotechnic special effects team moved out the air cannon that had already used slurry for N tests, which finally dispelled the doubts of the Paris side and the actors, and the crew finally got permission to shoot the explosion scene on the streets of Paris.

In the afternoon of the same day, Disney, Sony, Paramount, Warner and other company executives, as well as Cheng Long, Yang Zhicheng, Song Dai, Liu Siying and others arrived in Paris one after another.

The filming time approved by the Paris side is limited, and it is impossible for Li Mu to leave the crew to entertain them first, but these people said that they would come to the scene to watch the filming of the crew after checking into the hotel.

So in the afternoon, on the set on the streets of Paris, there were suddenly many old men and foreigners, and there were many people who were very familiar with the crew, such as Cheng Long, Yang Zhicheng and others, and the crew had a lot of discussions about it.

The crew of "Inception" is a large group, there are thousands of cast and crew members alone, and the crew members come from complex sources, from the mainland, Hong Kong, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, there are as many as fifty or sixty translators alone, everyone has their own sources, and everyone is passing on the news they have heard.

In the end, the news from various sources was summarized, and finally the ordinary staff of the crew knew the general situation.

It turned out that the foreigners standing outside the set were none other than vice presidents from Disney, Sony, Paramount, Warner and other companies, and everyone came to see Director Li Mu, because Director Li Mu wrote two very awesome scripts, and I heard that the Academy Awards had been booked in advance!

There is also the fact that Director Li Mu holds a bunch of extremely best-selling copyrights in his hands, and I heard that the six major Hollywood film companies are all begging Director Li Mu to sell these copyrights to them.

As for Cheng Long, Yang Zhicheng, Song Dai and others, why did they come all the way to the set?

Isn't it because of director Li Mu's next movie?! I heard that the next movie will be starring Cheng Long, Yang Ziqiong, and Liu Yifei, and the production budget will be at least 600 million!

Cheng Long and others want to discuss the details of cooperation with director Li Mu and Hollywood, and of course they have to fly all the way to France.

Awesome!

The cast and crew are all very excited, it turns out that they are working in such an awesome crew, and they are working for such an awesome director!

I was inexplicably a little proud in my heart.

On the set, Hong Jinbao commanded the stuntmen of Hong Jiaban with a serious face.

"After a while, everyone listens to my command, I shout and pull, everyone must act together, dozens of explosive points are arranged before and after this scene, we only have one chance, once we fail, we have to rearrange most of the time, this is Paris, it's not how long we want to shoot and shoot for as long as we want, if anyone drops the chain for a while, don't blame me for turning my face!"

The explosion scene in this scene is completed by the air cannon, and the safety is indeed guaranteed, but the explosion power is definitely insufficient, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect the air cannon to overturn the tables, chairs, benches and cars farther away around the male and female protagonists, so the wire comes in handy.

After a while, the person in charge of pulling the tightrope was a member of Hong Jinbao's Hong family class.

After arranging the work, Hong Jinbao went over to greet Yang Zhicheng, Cheng Long and others, and everyone exchanged a few words, and Hong Jinbao immediately returned to the set to continue working.

When everything was ready, as Li Mu shouted the sentence "o!" , the actual filming of the movie has officially begun.

Tom Hanks and Liu Yifei sat in a café on the streets of Paris discussing dreams, and when Liu Yifei finally said, "Are we dreaming?" After that, everything around them began to explode one after another, and debris flew everywhere. As the explosion approached the two protagonists step by step, everything around them, including tables, chairs, benches, cars, stalls, etc., was overturned by the shock wave.

"If it's a dream, then why are you blocking it?"

When Liu Yifei said the last line, Li Mu shouted, and the hearts of everyone in the crew rose to their throats.

This scene is different from other scenes, other scenes can be filmed once but immediately for the second time, if this scene is not

It will take more than half a day to rearrange the bombing point, not to mention having to reapply for filming permission from Paris.

"Okay, that's over!"

The crew immediately cheered, and many people let out a long breath.

In fact, if you just look at the scale of the explosion, this scene is not large, and many Parisian citizens on the periphery look at this side with interest, and the expressions on their faces are more playful and fresh, and almost no one thinks the scene is shocking.

But in the eyes of these vice president-level executives from Hollywood, it's completely different.

These people more or less understand movies, and when you look at the explosion points and camera positions on the scene, you can roughly see the final effect of the movie.

In addition, almost all of them have read "Inception", and the plot in comparison with the shooting effect in reality, several people's evaluation of the movie "Inception" has instantly increased by several levels.

"Maybe it's going to be a really shocking movie!"

The four vice presidents came to the same conclusion.

At the end of the shooting, Tom Hanks introduced the four vice presidents to Li Mu, Cheng Long does not need to be introduced, the four vice presidents all know Cheng Long, and they are very respectful.

Li Mu and Mr. Song Dai, chairman of Xiangjiang Yindu Organization, met for the first time, but both of them were inexplicably a little cordial. Song Dong is from Xiying, Li Mu talks about Xiying as his mother's family all day long, it was originally just a scene, but I didn't expect that after talking about this interview for a long time, I really believed it.

After meeting, the group went directly to the hotel conference room by car, Liu Yifei, as Li Mu's girlfriend and one of the heroines of "Doomsday Collapse", was naturally also present, in addition to Li Mu also instructed Liu Siying to call Chen Zhixi.

The first meeting lasted about two hours, and a preliminary consensus on cooperation was reached between them. Several parties from Hollywood promised to fully help run the distribution and awards of the two films, and Li Mu also promised several parties that some of their own films would accept investment from several companies.

Li Mu even said that he could sell the film and television rights of "Divergent" and "Moving Maze", but as for which company the copyright is authorized to, it depends on which one can give more bargaining chips.

In the final stage of the negotiations, the vice president from Disney smiled and suggested that Li Mu release a comic version of "Pacific Rim", saying that he was very optimistic about the story, while Li Mu expressed his gratitude for the reminder and said that he would seriously consider the other party's suggestion.

That night, when Cheng Long and Yang Zhicheng mentioned Li Mu, the two couldn't help but feel emotional.

I remember the first time the two talked about Li Mu, it was the time when Yang Zhicheng flew to Xijing to talk about "Hurricane Rescue", it was August 04, and it has been less than 4 years to this day.

At that time, Yang Zhicheng still laughed at Cheng Long's comparison of Li Mu with himself, and he looked up to Li Mu too much, but he didn't expect that in less than 4 years, Li Mu would develop to this level today.

Disney, Sony, Paramount, Warner - this is one of the six major Hollywood companies, the vice presidents of these four companies flew to France to meet Li Mu collectively, and they were respectful and polite throughout the meeting.

Cheng Long couldn't help but sigh to Yang Zhicheng:

"Hollywood looks down on us very much, me, Cheng Jiaban, including Li Lianlian, which of us is not looked down upon in Hollywood? Which one hasn't been bullied? What did we do then? I deliberately fell to the ground, deliberately didn't put soft pads, and my knees bleed, but no, we have to fall again, can you do it?"

"If you can't do it, you have to admire us, what kind of stunts do you use to jump off the building? You don't need stunts, it's just starting, jumping, and hospital, if you can't do it, we can do it, and you have to admire us. But this still makes Hollywood movie-makers admire us, and Hollywood bosses don't admire you because of this, they only admire money, and they admire whoever makes a big movie."

"When you were in the movie data line, the Hollywood boss knelt down and begged you to make a movie, and your data was a little worse — wow, who are you? I don't know you! It's so realistic."

"Li Mu is very powerful, he can make a lot of money, a lot

There's a lot of money, and Hollywood discriminates against us very much, but they don't discriminate against money, and no one discriminates against money."

Yang Zhicheng said, "I haven't seen such a powerful young man for many years."

That night, the young lady worked extra hard, and somehow Li Mu thought of "Lust and Caution" directed by Li Amine, in which the heroine Wang Guizhi reluctantly gave the first time to the lewd man Liang Runsheng, but Wang Guizhi has been eating the marrow since then, and the second time he was with Liang Runsheng, he had become very active, and was teased by Liang Runsheng: "You seem to have a little reaction today".

Tonight's young lady is quite a bit of a marrow eater, and she has become very active.

"No—why did I bring in that lewd thing from Liang Yunsheng?"

Li Mu felt a little funny, so he chatted with the young lady about the plot of "Lust and Caution" while doing it, but he didn't expect the young lady's face to immediately blush.

Li Mu thought that his divine power had been completed, but how did he know that the young lady actually thought of the fact that he had been invited by director Li Amine to film "Lust and Caution".

It is said that at that time, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Xiyuan, and Zhou Xun all recommended themselves to play Wang Guizhi, but they were rejected by Li Amine, because in Li Amine's heart at that time, the best candidates for Wang Guizhi were Shu Qi and Liu Yifei.

The agent also very much suggested that Liu Yifei take over this play, after all, director Li Amine's name is too famous.

Liu Yifei and Li Amine met three times in total, but after learning that the movie would have a lot of passion scenes, Liu Yifei still couldn't convince himself, and finally clearly rejected Director Li Amine's invitation when they met for the third time.

"If the heroine of "Lust and Caution" is me, then do you still want me?" Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask.

"Don't."

Li Mu cut the railway.
