"Okay, what we saw just now is the list of nominees for Best Actress, in fact, what I want to tell you is that before coming to Ben Cheng, we made a beautiful surprise short film for all the actors nominated for each actor and actress, so after winning the award, we will show them (her) to see if there will be a surprise."

"There will definitely be surprises and touches, so now we have 101 public judges ready, and we will start voting now, okay, please start."

On the big screen behind him, the numbers above the names of the five nominated actresses began to grow, Tang Yan 4 votes, Xu Ruoxuan 4 votes, Liang Yongqi 3 votes, the votes of the three actors soon stopped growing, only Li Lianhua and Gao Yuanyuan's votes continued to rise, and soon the votes of both exceeded 40 votes.

Gao Yuanyuan covered her mouth with her hands, her face was already full of disbelief and nervousness, and there were even faint tears flashing in her eyes.

Li Lianhua's votes stopped at 43 votes, but Gao Yuanyuan's votes are still growing, 45 votes, 46 votes, 47 votes!

Gao Yuanyuan won, the winner of the Best Actress Award at the 29th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards - Gao Yuanyuan!

Gao Yuanyuan got up on stage, and the host said, "At the same time, we invite our award presenter, actor Liu Ye, to present the award to Yuanyuan."

After the award, the host said, "Come to our Hundred Flowers Shadow Queen, please!"

"Congratulations, Yuanyuan."

……

After successfully completing the duties of chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Zhang Yimou accepted an exclusive interview with a few media in Beijing, and he also disclosed the next work plan for the first time.

"There are a lot of plans at the moment, and the most well-prepared of them is a modern war film called "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", the closing ceremony and the Paralympic work is not over, and the current focus is still around the Olympic Games. And before filming "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", I have to shoot a play directed by Li Mu, which has been promised to be directed by Li Mu."

The reporter asked curiously, "Did you hand over the script written by Director Li Mu to Director Zhang to shoot it?" Just like director Shen Junsheng filmed Li Mu's screenplay "How to Steal the Key"?"

Zhang Yimou said: "No, no, no, it was Director Li Mu who came to shoot in person, and I just played one of the roles."

The reporter was surprised: "Director Zhang, are you saying that you played a role in Director Li Mu's movie?"

Zhang Yimou nodded: "Yes, but there are not many scenes, so it can be regarded as a male supporting role."

Reporter: "Male partner?"

……

"When will Uncle Long's "Kung Fu Dream" be launched?"

"It's going to be next year at the earliest."

In the United States, at night, the hotel rented by the crew of "Doomsday Collapse".

Cheng Long, Chen Zhixi, and Liu Yifei are all in Li Mu's room at the moment.

Li Mu was silent for a moment and said: "In the past few years, a considerable number of netizens have been calling for us to shoot "Hurricane Rescue 2". Now there is such a gap, after "Doomsday Collapse" is completed, I will start filming "Gravity", and after "Gravity" is completed, I will also shoot "Manchester by the Sea", the two movies will take at least seven or eight months, and this time is not the work has not been arranged, and it just so happens that Uncle Long also has a vacancy, so I want me to say that we might as well shoot "Hurricane Rescue 2".

Cheng Long smiled: "Okay, I've always liked the movie "Hurricane Rescue" very much."

Li Mu said: "The director will return it either

Director Chen Musheng?"

Cheng Long nodded and said, "Director Chen Musheng is good, the success of "Hurricane Rescue 1" Mu Sheng is a great hero, so use Chen Musheng."

The script of "Hurricane Rescue 2" is indeed far less amazing than "Hurricane Rescue 1", but it is not a bad movie, and the Douban score of 6.9 points in later generations is considered a basic passing score, but it is definitely not good to say how good it is.

But the global box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2" is as high as $376 million, nearly $150 million higher than the first part. A sequel that is so successful at the box office is really unjustifiable that it has been pressed and not filmed. And the role of the heroine in the second part has increased greatly, which is also very beneficial to Liu Yifei's international coffee position, so this matter has been decided.

After talking about the movie, Li Mu mentioned the TV series again.

In fact, in the past few years, he has always wanted to shoot a few TV series, and he did it in person, but he has never been able to spare time.

After the crossing, he has bought part of the copyright in advance, such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Langya Bang", "Celebrating More Than Years", "Latent", "Dajiang Dahe", etc., now that he has no time to shoot, and he doesn't have much time in the foreseeable future, he naturally has to invite others to shoot, after all, it is not a way to always put these works on the shelf.

The company's first batch of TV drama projects, Li Mu is interested in the two works "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Latent".

He expects that Liu Yifei will have a few months of schedule after filming "Hurricane Rescue 2", during which Li Mu is most likely filming "Manchester by the Sea" in the United States, so he can use this time to arrange Liu Yifei to shoot "Celebrating More Than Years".

As for "Latent", this is a TV series that Li Mu likes very much, and if it weren't for Li Mu crossing over and changing history, this drama would have been completed by now.

The selection of actors will be discussed after returning to China after filming "Gravity", but the preliminary preparations for the TV series must be prepared first.

When it comes to TV series, Cheng Long thinks of his "Myth".

"Actually, I have always had the idea of filming the TV series version of "Myth", but I don't have time to write the script, and second, there is no suitable actor, Kim Hee-sun will definitely not agree to appear in the TV series version, and I am not less worried about this."

When Li Mu heard this, he said, "Uncle Long, don't worry, I think this matter will be wrapped up in me."

Cheng Long immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm busy, you're busier than me, you can't be busy with the good movie projects in your hands now, don't worry about me, I understand your kindness, but I can't delay your work."

Li Mu said with a smile: "Uncle Long, don't worry, you can't delay my work, when we return to China after filming "Doomsday Collapse" this time, let's find a reliable screenwriter, and then tell him our thoughts and ideas about the TV series, let him be responsible for writing the script, we can just be responsible for the big ideas, and it won't delay much effort."

Cheng Long was silent for a moment and then smiled: "It's okay, I remember that when you were filming "Hurricane Rescue" in France before, you talked about the creative idea of the TV series version of "Mythology", and it was quite good, let's follow the idea you said at the time, even if this drama is between the two of us, the income of the two of us will be half of the income at that time."

Li Mu smiled: "I'll share half of Uncle Long's income for that little favor, what kind of thing is this, Uncle Long, don't mention this matter again."

Cheng Long said with a smile: "You have to accept this half of the income, I will believe you now, I don't believe in others, the script, actors, and directors, these must be nodded by you personally, and besides, you are not bad for money, we have two families to pay, one family pays half, and the income is naturally half of the family."

"This ......"

"Don't do this, that, I think this is the case."

"That...... Okay."

Li Mu was not entangled, before several people left, Li Mu asked Chen Zhixi to inform Liu Siying in China to start preparing for "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Latent".

……

In mid-September 2008, the movie "Doomsday Collapse" was officially completed. After the finale banquet, Li Mu returned to China with most of the crew, and Cheng Long flew back to Xiangjiang directly.

At this time, the domestic news that director Zhang Yimou would participate in Li Muxin's movie or play a supporting role had already spread. Li Mu

As soon as he returned to China, he received a large number of media interview invitations, and Li Mu did not refuse them all.

On the third day after returning to China, Li Mu was interviewed by CCTV reporters. In the interview, Li Mu revealed to the outside world several key works that his company will shoot in the next stage, which can be regarded as an advertisement in advance.

The first thing to talk about is, of course, the movie that director Zhang Yimou wants to participate in.

"In fact, it is the movie "Gravity", and director Zhang Yimou is not just playing a supporting role, Director Zhang is also the producer of this movie."

"The heroine, we are looking for Ms. Gong Li, and the contract has been signed."

"The amount of investment? The investment amount is about 100 million US dollars, which may not be used so much, and when calculating the budget at that time, all the expenses were relatively sufficient, and it may not be enough money for the actual shooting."

"In addition to "Gravity", this year the company is also preparing to launch the "Hurricane Rescue 2" project, I see that many people on the Internet are calling for us to make this sequel as soon as possible, I want to say a word to these netizens who like this series today - the sequel has been officially established, and it is expected to meet you next year."

"Investment Amount...... The Hurricane series is more economical, with a total budget of about $30 million."

"Inception?"

"The main reason for "Inception" is that the production of special effects is more time-consuming, and some time ago, people who double-negatively said that the progress of special effects is a little behind the previous plan, and we have recently urged it, the progress...... Maybe it won't be released a year ago."

……

After the official broadcast of the interview, a wave of discussion was set off on the Internet.

"Li Mu, is this going to heaven? "Inception" invested $120 million and has not yet been released, and "Doomsday Collapse" has invested $80 million and has just been completed; "Gravity" invested $100 million, and I heard that it would start shooting immediately; "Hurricane Rescue 2" has an investment of 30 million US dollars, and the project has been officially established - four films, with a total investment of 330 million US dollars, are almost half of the national annual box office, right?!"

"The most infuriating thing is that you know? It was Li Mu who said in an interview that the "Hurricane Rescue" series is more cost-effective, with an investment of 30 million US dollars - let's hear it! An investment of $30 million can only be regarded as a relatively cost-effective one in Li Mu's eyes!"

"I'm not good at math, is 30 million US dollars converted into RMB 200 million? Is the investment of 200 million still money-saving in Li Mu's eyes? Cry to death! That's the gap!"

"Li Mu is awesome! "Gravity" invited Zhang Yimou and Gong Li to play is something I never expected before!"

"To tell you the truth, I really didn't expect Zhang Yimou to act before, but Gong Li is actually very easy to guess. Anyone who has read the original book knows that the setting of the heroine is still relatively large, and in terms of age and international influence, Gong Li is indeed a very good choice."

"Actually, Zhang Ziyi and Li Lianhua are also fine."

"Why didn't the heroine use Liu Yifei this time? If you still use Sissi this time, the total investment of Liu Yifei's movies that have been completed and is about to be made will reach 300 million US dollars! Li Mu holds his girlfriend with $300 million, how romantic should this be?"

"Even if Li Mu wants to hold the willow, he can't be foolish, right? Anyone who has read the original book knows that Liu Yifei is definitely not suitable for this movie."

"I know this, but if the heroine is still Liu Yifei, it will indeed be more romantic!"

"I wonder if you've found out? In fact, Huashang still has a movie being filmed, that is, "People in Embarrassment" starring Shen Teng and Wang Baoqiang, with an investment of 10 million yuan, but director Li Mu did not mention this movie at all in an interview."

"Maybe the investment is too small and forgotten by Director Li!"

"The investment is too small to be forgotten???"

"Hahahaha...... What an annoying joke!"

"Huashang Media is in full swing!"

……

The plot of "Gravity" Li Mu has basically not changed much, he just changed the nationality of the protagonist.

In the original movie, it was the American astronauts who suffered a chain reaction caused by the debris accidentally produced by Russia when it destroyed the satellite, which led to the destruction of the space station.

In the end, the heroine used Huaxia's Shenzhou spacecraft to successfully return to Earth.

In Li Mu's version of "Gravity", it was the Chinese astronauts who encountered the debris accidentally generated by the United States when it destroyed the satellite, which then led to the destruction of the Tiangong space station, and the heroine played by Gong Li fled to the International Space Station, where the astronauts had been evacuated urgently, and finally returned to Earth using the return capsule of the International Space Station.

It is worth mentioning that "Gravity" will be the first film directed by Li Mu to be filmed almost entirely in China. The reason why he said "almost" is because Li Mu has not yet determined where the heroine landed after finally returning to Earth.

By the time everything was ready, the time had come to the end of September, and at this time, "Gravity", adapted from the Hugo Award-winning work, was finally officially launched!

In mid-October, the movie "Hurricane Rescue 2" was officially launched, and Liu Yifei pestered Li Mu endlessly before officially joining the group, until Li Mu promised her to visit the class at least once a month.

In mid-November, news came from the British double denial company that the post-production of special effects for "Inception" had been basically completed, and Li Mu was very happy when he learned the news, so that the movie would be released before the end of the year.

At the end of November, Huashang Media's small-budget film "People in Embarrassment" was officially completed, if nothing else, there will be two Huashang Media movies released in the 08 New Year file and the Spring Festival file that has not yet been fully formed.

It is worth mentioning that since the official serialization of "Pacific Rim" and "Frozen" in Manwu Comics, the two comics have achieved good results both at home and abroad. However, the differences between the two manga are also quite obvious.

To put it simply, in China, the results of "Pacific Rim" are significantly better than those of "Frozen"; And abroad is the opposite, abroad is "Frozen" sales are significantly better than "Pacific Rim".

A very interesting thing happened in this process, that is, there is a black fan of Liu Yifei who blackened all of Liu Yifei's works since his debut, as well as Liu Yifei's appearance, and then Liu Yifei's fans were surprised to find that this person actually recommended the comic "Frozen" to his friends.

So Liu Yifei's fans are not calm.

"Didn't you find out that the heroine in "Frozen" was painted according to Liu Yifei's appearance? Since you criticize Liu Yifei's works as useless, and since you criticize Liu Yifei's appearance as useless, then why do you recommend comic works based on Liu Yifei's prototype?"

A day later, the black fan deleted most of his previous speeches.
