On the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Liu Yifei and his mother Liu Xiaoli bought tickets to enter the Bird's Nest. Li Mu was not accompanied, and he was assigned a performance task by director Zhang Yimou, although his singing was not very good.

Before the performance, the warm-up host Yang Lan and Liu Lian, Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, Li Mu, Han Hong, Zhou Huajian, Sun Nan, Rong Gu'er and others rushed from the Workers' Gymnasium to the "Bird's Nest" by car. Liu Huan said that there was no way, so he let it go.

Yang Lan asked Li Mu again that the total investment of "Inception", which has been completed, and "Doomsday Collapse", which is being filmed, is 200 million US dollars, and she will feel a lot of pressure.

Li Mu said with a smile that the total investment of 200 million US dollars is less than half of the money he really paid, and most of it is made by domestic and foreign entertainment companies, and they are not afraid, and of course they are not afraid.

Cheng Long smiled at this time: "They are not only not afraid, they are simply grabbing it." You may not know, when Li Mu was filming in France, wow, four of the six major Hollywood film companies directly sent vice presidents over, what did they do in the past? To grab the investment share of the resources in Li Mu's hands! That's one of the six major Hollywood studios, when I broke into Hollywood, I was looked down upon and bullied, and this kid took Hollywood at the beginning. ”

Li Mu said a few words modestly, the more Cheng Long spoke, the more energetic he became, he and Emperor Ying's Yang Zhicheng and Song Dai of Yindu also rushed to France, and after they met the vice presidents of Hollywood companies, they knew how much Hollywood attached importance to Li Mu.

Yang Lan admires foreign countries, especially the United States, so Li Mu's eyes are full of appreciation when she sees that she can achieve great achievements in the United States and be respected by the United States.

"Half of the $200 million investment is also 100 million, and no company in China can come up with such a big comparison of money to watch movies."

"200 million will underestimate our director Li Muda." After Cheng Long finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Mu and said, "Can you say this?" ”

Uncle Long asked like this, and Li Mu couldn't object, and there was no need to object.

I only heard Cheng Long say again: "You don't know, the total investment of the movie that this kid is preparing is not more than 200 million US dollars?" It's 300 million! ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cheng Long said again: "The work that this kid won the Hugo Award for is "Gravity", which is also already being filmed, with an investment of 100 million US dollars, and you will definitely not guess who the starring actors for this movie are." ”

Cheng Long didn't sell Guan Zi either: "The actor is Zhang Yimou, the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!" ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was really surprised.

Isn't Zhang Yimou one of the top directors in China? Why are you going to act in Li Mu's movie again?

In fact, this matter was decided as early as the end of June, before the start of "Doomsday Collapse".

When Li Mu first found director Zhang Yimou, of course he didn't agree, after all, he hadn't acted for ten years.

Then Li Mu chatted with Zhang Yimou for a long time, talking about the prospects of 3 movies, talking about the cutting-edge technologies used in Cameron's "Avatar", talking about these technologies Li Mu himself has basically mastered, talking about "Avatar" will be an epoch-making work, and Li Mu's "Gravity" will also be an epoch-making work.

Li Mu even said conclusively that the global box office of "Avatar" will definitely surpass "Titanic", and it will definitely end the 11-year global box office champion of "Titanic", and it will exceed not a star and a half.

Li Mu said to director Zhang Yimou in an extremely affirmative tone that the global box office of "Avatar" is expected to exceed "Titanic" by more than $1 billion.

How much did "Titanic" gross worldwide? $2.18 billion, how much is $1 billion over it? It's $3.18 billion, and a movie can get $3.1 billion at the box office?

Of course not!

"Avatar" finally grossed $2.788 billion worldwide, including several re-screenings at the box office, but Li Mu couldn't care so much if he was blown up at that time.

He said to director Zhang Yimou that before "Avatar", 3 movies were niche, and 3 movies did not become a climate, but after "Avatar", if you don't release 3 versions of a movie, you will be embarrassed to say hello to people!

Li Mu didn't know if Director Zhang Yimou believed Li Mu's bragging, anyway, after Li Mu finished blowing, Zhang Yimou agreed to play the supporting actor and serve as the producer.

On the way to the Bird's Nest, in addition to Cheng Long, Li Mu and Andy Lau chatted the most speculatively. Brother Hua mentioned more than once that he liked "How to Steal the Key" with Li Mu as the screenwriter and producer, and Li Mu said that there was a chance to find Brother Hua to act in a movie, Andy Lau was a little excited when he heard this, and asked everyone present to testify for him.

The group arrived at the Bird's Nest before the official start of the opening ceremony, but did not perform for everyone until after the ignition ceremony, and everyone waited in the sweltering conference room underground, where there was no TV and no opening ceremony at all.

From entering the venue at 17 o'clock to appearing after 0 o'clock, waiting for more than 7 hours, after the opening ceremony, everyone sang 3 Olympic songs such as "Beijing City Welcomes You" for the audience, but in fact, this performance was not broadcast live.

After the opening ceremony, Li Mu sent Liu Yifei's mother and daughter home, several people took the elevator to the upstairs, Liu Xiaoli took out the key to open the door, Li Mu and Liu Yifei saw Liu Xiaoli enter the door and hugged each other and gnawed.

Li Mu will go back to his home in a while, and Liu Yifei will stay with his mother. The thought of not being able to sleep together at night made the two of them very devotive. It wasn't until they finally separated after a long time that the two turned around and saw Liu Xiaoli at the entrance behind them.

"Mom, aren't you already in? Why is it silent here, it scares me to death. Liu Yifei said coquettishly.

Li Mu was also a little embarrassed, and he called Aunt Liu.

"Am I silent? It's the two of you who are too dismissive. After training, her daughter Liu Xiaoli looked at Li Mu again, "Why don't you go back tonight, Auntie is not a person who eats the ancients." ”

"Isn't it okay?"

"What's wrong?"

"Okay, then I'm not leaving tonight."

"What are you doing, my mother just said politely, you can't hear it!"

"Is it polite? I think Auntie is very sincere, huh? ”

"Sincerely, sincerely, you can stay tonight."

After entering the room, Liu Yifei first pushed Li Mu to take a bath, Li Mu laughed at her just now and said that she didn't want him to stay, she couldn't wait immediately, and after saying that, he even had to pull Liu Yifei to wash together. Liu Yifei resolutely disagreed and solemnly warned Li Mu that he couldn't do anything at night, and said that the sound insulation of the house was not too good, Li Mu nodded and agreed.

Lying in the same bed at night, it is her age Li Mu is the same age, and it is really difficult to say that nothing will happen. In the end, unconsciously, I went from not being able to do anything to being a little lighter and not making a sound, and gradually from not making a sound to Aunt Liu should have fallen asleep, don't go too far, it should be fine, and finally successfully changed from my mother should be asleep to if I don't fall asleep, I won't have a face tomorrow.

But it's embarrassing to be embarrassed, and the excitement is really exciting, but fortunately everything was as usual the next day.

After the opening ceremony, the group stayed in Beijing for a few more days before returning to the United States to continue filming.

A few days later.

United States.

The crew of "Doomsday Collapse".

Li Mu, Cheng Long, Yang Ziqiong, Liu Yifei, and an American actor came to a simulated rockery with a car hanging halfway up the mountain.

This scene is the scene at the beginning of the movie where the male protagonist takes a helicopter to rescue a woman who has been in a car accident. It took a long time to build the rockery, so the scene didn't start filming until now.

Cheng Long pointed to the helicopter above the rockery that was hoisted by a heavy crane and said: "How can it be so troublesome, just start the helicopter, and I will go directly from the helicopter in real flight state to save people, so that the effect of saving time and shooting is real."

But Li Mu didn't dare to think like this, the helicopter really flew, put a rope down, and finally let the 54-year-old Uncle Long slide down the rope to complete the shooting, it's not impossible to shoot like this, but after all, the difficulty is too high, and the danger factor is too great, not to mention that there will be no problems, what if there is an accident? What if Cheng Long really fell? Let's play it safe.

So although Cheng Long looked for Li Mu twice for this matter, Li Mu finally insisted that he must find a heavy crane to lift the helicopter up and shoot, and then use two lifts to hang large air drums to create the effect of strong winds.

The helicopter connects several lines to the ground to control the balance and shaking of the helicopter, and after the official start of filming, Cheng Longhui slides from the helicopter to the crashed car with the assistance of WIA.

A platform was built on the simulated cliff and a camera was mounted on it, and the camera was responsible for capturing the expressions of the actors in the close-up shot, while the crane camera captured the panoramic action.

Due to the thorough preparation in advance, the filming of this cliff rescue scene was completed in less than two hours.

In the evening, the director's room.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei leaned together to watch the football game broadcast in the United States, Li Mu felt really bored after watching it for more than ten minutes, so he said to Liu Yifei: "Do you like to watch football very much?" ”

"I don't like it!" Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu pitifully.

Li Mu was surprised: "Then what are the two of us doing now?" ”

"I thought you liked to watch football, that's why I watched it with you." Liu Yifei's expression was a little aggrieved.

Li Mu nodded on her head and said, "Who did you hear that men like to watch football games?" I don't care about the others, I don't like it anyway, hold your breath. ”

"And what do you like to watch?" Liu Yifei asked.

Li Mu waved his fingers and counted: "diving, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, ......"

"Really?" Liu Yifei said with a pleasant expression, "My favorite competition is rhythmic gymnastics, and I also think trampoline and diving are very good-looking, it seems that the two of us really have a good heart." ”

Li Mu stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms and said, "Of course, the two of us are born to be a couple." ”

Liu Yifei looked up at Li Mu and said with a serious face: "I feel really lucky to know you and be with you." ”

And Li Mu's face was even more sincere: "I'm really lucky, I've liked you since my last life, and I've liked you for a long time, but I didn't expect that God finally made my dream come true in this life." Two lives, one you, God is actually good to me. ”

At night, Li Mu was already asleep, but Liu Yifei couldn't sleep at all, as soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of what Li Mu said she liked since her previous life. Although she knew that what Li Mu said was something very bad and greasy, she still felt very excited in her ears.

The key is that Li Mu's eyes were really moving at that time, and he almost couldn't tell that he was coaxing her, as if what he said was all true.

As if that's what he really thinks.

She couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with her friends, so she sent a message to Shu Sing.

"Busy?"

"I'm not busy, I'm watching a tennis match."

"Guess what his favorite project is? I'm guessing you wouldn't have guessed, and to give you a hint, our two favorite projects overlap a lot. ”

Shu Sing replied: "It's hard to guess? Men, they generally like those games, whether it is football, basketball, table tennis, diving, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, beach volleyball. ”

"How do you know? Shu sing, you guessed too accurately, tell me how did you guess?! Liu Yifei was surprised.

"Isn't that easy? First of all, I know that you like to watch rhythmic gymnastics the most, secondly, I know that men like to watch beautiful women, and finally I know that there are the most beautiful women in these sports and they are all dressed very sexy. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Yifei finally came back to his senses.

It turns out that Li Mu said last night that he likes to watch diving, rhythmic gymnastics, and trampoline, which has nothing to do with artistic cells, and he likes these projects completely because he likes to see beautiful women, right?

It's a shame that she just thought that the two of them were really so smart, and it turned out that the starting point of the two people was completely different!

The next morning.

As soon as Li Mu opened his eyes, he just saw Liu Yifei who was staring at Li Mu with his arms propped up, he stretched his waist and smiled: "Bao, woke up early?" ”

"Perverts." Liu Yifei began to get dressed and get up after speaking.

Li Mu was a little confused: "Huh? What's wrong with this? I didn't play any tricks last night. ”

The next day's filming continued, and today we filmed the shocking post-earthquake rift valley.

The camera first shot Cheng Long's front to create suspense, and then the camera rotated with the actor to reveal the Great Rift, which turned out to be shocking and only laid a blue cloth on the ground.
