On June 24, "Transformers 2" was detonated at the same time around the world, only in the United States, only on the 24th, it received a box office of 60.6 million US dollars, which was higher than the box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2" in the first three days of the first weekend, becoming the first film in American film history on Wednesday, and the box office of 200 million US dollars in the North American film market in the first five days of the first weekend, and set a number of records.

On June 28, the costume fairy drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" starring Hu Ge, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, etc. premiered in the mainland, and achieved good results and a good reputation.

On July 1, the animated film "Ice Age 3" was officially released in North America, and the film earned a total of $42 million at the box office in the first three days of the opening weekend, far less than the $68 million box office of its predecessor "Ice Age 2" and the $60 million box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2".

It seems that the box office of "Ice Age 3" in the first weekend is not high, but Li Mu knows that the final global box office of this movie will even be as high as 886 million US dollars. In short, this is a typical late-stage movie, and the box office trend is the opposite of Li Mu's "Hurricane Rescue 2".

As the time enters July, the release of "Hurricane Rescue 2" has also come to an end, at this time its box office in the domestic market has accumulated to 630 million yuan, and the single-day box office of the movie has fallen to about three or four million.

In the overseas film market, the total box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2" in North America has officially exceeded 200 million US dollars, and its overseas box office outside North America has also reached 170 million US dollars.

The domestic market box office, the North American box office, and the overseas box office outside North America - at this time, the total global box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2" has reached 468.3 million US dollars, temporarily ranking 65th among the top 100 film companies in global film history.

At this time, the 64th place is the classic film "Jaws" directed by Steven Spielberg, which was released in 1975 and grossed $470 million worldwide, while "Hurricane Rescue 2" has not yet been officially released, and it seems that the latter is very likely to rise to the next place in the future.

The next place in the movie "Jaws" is the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3: Holy War", which grossed $474 million worldwide.

The three films under "Hurricane Rescue 2" are "Pretty Woman" in 66th place, with a global box office of $463 million, "Cars" in 67th place, with a global box office of $461 million, and the classic sci-fi movie "The Matrix" in 68th place, with a global box office of $460 million.

So far, Li Mu has successively appeared in the top 100 movies in global film history, and this is also the second film on the list released by Li Mu in 2009, in addition, Li Mu has two other movies to be released this year, and these two movies also almost all have the potential to be on the list.

In just one year, Li Mu has released four new movies, and almost all of these four movies have the strength to enter the top 100 box office list in global film history, among which the best movie "Inception" even directly entered the seventh place in global film history!

It can be said that since Li Mu officially stepped into the entertainment industry in 2004, after 5 years of deep cultivation, when the time finally came to 2009, his years of accumulation finally broke out completely.

In 2009, the statement of "Li Munian in film history" is gaining more and more people's support, and even the authoritative media CCTV specially invited experts in the film and television industry to discuss this statement.

Also in 2009, when Huayi Brothers Media was about to go public, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun vowed to seize every opportunity to help enhance the market's confidence in their own companies.

Among them, President Wang Zhonglei specifically mentioned in an interview with reporters that among the top ten films in the box office list of Chinese film history, there are as many as seven films invested by Huayi Brothers alone, which is enough to show that their Huayi Brothers Company plays a pivotal role in the Chinese entertainment industry and has accurate investment vision.

Among the top ten in the history of Chinese films, the Huayi Brothers family has invested in as many as seven? !

After the content of the interview was broadcast, it quickly caused a wide discussion on the Chinese Internet.

There are countless netizens who are strong after seeing the relevant reports

Lie's curiosity went to check what Mr. Wang said, the so-called top ten movies in the box office list of Chinese film history.

The first place is, of course, the movie "Inception" directed by Li Mu, with a domestic box office of 890 million yuan.

second place, Li Mu's screenwriting work "Hurricane Rescue 2", with a domestic box office of 630 million yuan.

third place, director Li Mu's work "Assassin", has a domestic box office of 360 million yuan and a re-screening box office of 97 million yuan.

The fourth place, director Li Mu's work "Super Body", has a domestic box office of 310 million yuan and a re-screening box office of 91 million yuan.

ranked fifth, Li Mu's screenwriting work "Hurricane Rescue 1", with a domestic box office of 280 million yuan and a re-screening box office of 93 million yuan.

sixth place, James Cameron's work "Titanic", with a domestic box office of 359.5 million yuan.

No. 7, director Feng Xiaogang's work "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", the domestic box office was 320 million yuan.

No. 8, Wu Yusen's work "Red Cliff (I)", with a domestic box office of 314 million yuan.

No. 9, director Li Mu's work "People in Embarrassment", with a domestic box office of 301 million yuan.

No. 10, Zhang Yimou's work "The City is Full of Golden Armor", with a domestic box office of 291 million yuan.

After reading the list, many netizens were puzzled - among the top ten box office lists in Chinese film history, there are seven movies invested by Huayi Brothers alone? Why do I look left and right, and I only have one "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is a movie produced by Huayi Brothers?

Wang Zhonglei brothers, are they excited that the company is going to go public?

However, soon some netizens took the initiative to stand up and solve everyone's doubts.

"Actually, strictly speaking, what Wang Zhonglei said can't be wrong, after all, people only talk about investment and don't talk about independent production, right? As far as I know, director Li Mu's works are generally carried out by large domestic companies, such as China Film, Western Film, Birner, Light Limited, Huayi Brothers, Yinghuang of Xiangjiang, and even the six major Hollywood film companies, everyone has investment. Therefore, Mr. Wang counts all the movies directed by Li Mu as works invested by his own company, and strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Holy, can you still count like that?"

"Why can't it?"

"It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it, but it's too thick-skinned, isn't it? What kind of ability is it to use the works of director Li Mu to fill up?"

"You don't understand that, do you? Do you think Mr. Wang said this to ordinary netizens across the country? Fart! People don't care what ordinary netizens think, this is for the capitalists who want to buy shares of Huayi Brothers after listing: Look, we have a very good relationship with Director Li Mu, we have participated in the investment in every work of Director Li Mu, and we will still actively participate in Director Li Mu's future works!"

"If you were capital, what would you think? It must be that Huayi Brothers' own company is good, and with such a good relationship with Director Li Mu, this company will definitely develop in the future, right? If director Li Mu wants another $1 billion movie, will this be worth it? The company that has a good relationship with Li Mu in the film and television industry is fragrant!"

"Rub, so that's the case, I said, if it's me, I'm embarrassed to take seven of the top ten in the top ten of Director Li Mu's results, and it's a result that is also considered a person's Director Li Mu's results, not his own results, and the results are not worth anything!"

"But Mr. Wang's mention of this ranking is an eye-opener for me! is among the top 10 box office lists in national film history, and Li Mu alone accounts for six?!"

"Pay attention, the top five are all the works of director Li Mu, in fact, this is the most awesome!"

"Actually, Li Mu also took a trick, if you remove the re-release box office, the top three are still Li Mu's works, but the fourth should be "Titanic", remove the re-release box office, the fifth is "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" directed by Feng Xiaogang, and "Hurricane Rescue 1" fell directly from fifth to tenth."

"But no matter how you calculate it, there is nothing wrong with six of the top ten box office lists in Chinese film history that are directed by Li Mu!"

"This is a terrifying achievement!"

This topic caused by Wang Zhonglei made Li Mu really miss his face in front of the people of the whole country, and he missed a big face!

Among the top 10 box office lists in Chinese film history, director Li Mu alone accounted for six? Do you want to exaggerate that? What are the other big directors doing?

What about director Zhang Yimou?

The top 10 is a "City Full of Golden Armor"?

Director Chen Kaige?

Didn't see any of it? How do you become a great director?

Hollywood blockbusters are awesome, right?

As a result, in the domestic market, the top ten box office list in film history is a "Titanic" released in 1998? The highest grossing mainland box office of the rest of Hollywood movies is "Transformers", which ranks eleventh?

"Li Mu is this one person, and he directly occupies half of the top ten box office lists in the history of the Chinese film market?"

"Awesome!"

"Exaggerated!"

Then some netizens spoke:

"Half the country? So far, it seems to be right, but it's hard to say whether it will be right at the end of the year!"

"How?" Some netizens asked.

"In late July, director Li Mu will have another "Doomsday Collapse" to be released, and at the end of December or early next year, there will be a very likely explosion of "Gravity" to be released, maybe by the beginning of next year, there will be 8 works directed by Li Mu on this list!"

"One person, eight parts?"

Then netizens blew up again.

"Director Li Mu, one of the top ten directors in the history of Chinese film, will occupy eight positions alone? All right! I didn't say anything, I died speechless."

"Other directors in China are too pulled!"

To be precise, there is a high probability that Li Mu will not have two more movies to be released this year, but three.

Just when he and Cheng Long, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli and others went to the United States to promote the new movie, he learned that his other new movie, "Manchester by the Sea", was going to be released in September.

However, it is unlikely that the domestic box office of this movie will be high, because the plot is too depressing, so Li Mu has no idea of introducing this movie to China for the time being.

In the previous life, this film was introduced to China in 2017, and at that time, this film had already won two awards: the Oscar for Best Actor and the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and the Douban score was as high as 8.6 points, but its domestic box office was only 8.18 million!

To be honest, Li Mu doesn't think that he can get a good result if this version is introduced into China, and it may indeed be more than 8.18 million, after all, Li Mu is a native of China, and he is famous enough in Huaxia, and he also has a lot of fans, so Li Mu feels that if this movie is introduced into China, the box office will definitely be better than in his previous life, but how much better it can be, in fact, it is not much better, it will be better.

Anyway, it is an award-winning movie, and Li Mu didn't expect this film to make him much money at the box office from the beginning, so Li Mu has little incentive to introduce it to China.

If this film can really win the Oscar next year, it will not be too late to introduce it in China.

In short, this "Manchester by the Sea" is about to be released, but few people in China know about it.

On July 24, Li Mu's other movie, "Doomsday Collapse" starring Cheng Long, Liu Yifei, and Liu Xiaoli, will be officially released worldwide.

Since flying back from the United States last month, the film's main creators have continued to promote "Hurricane Rescue 2" while also promoting the new movie "Doomsday Collapse".

Since it is a movie promotion, it is natural to inevitably deal with media reporters, and at this time, reporters will also ask some things that have nothing to do with the current movie.

"May I ask Director Li, can you reveal your plans after "Doomsday Collapse" and "Gravity"? Have you started working on your new movie? I think many netizens across the country must be very interested in this topic now."

Li Mu smiled and said, "New movie...... I guess I have a preliminary plan, but I haven't made a final decision on whether to make this drama or not."

"Can you tell us more about that?"

"I originally wanted to make the new movie "The Hunger Games", which is also a teenager theme, in fact, the version of "The Hunger Games" was released earlier than "Twilight", but now "Twilight" movies have been made twice, and the box office performance is still very good, but the earlier "Hunger Games" has not even been filmed, so I have considered preparing to make this movie before."

"Is that what kind of difficulty you're having now?"

Li Mu said: "There are indeed some troubles in casting, the heroine of this play has been determined a long time ago, that is, Liu Yifei, but according to the script setting, the heroine in the movie also has a sister and a mother, and now since the heroine uses yellow people, the heroine's mother and sister will naturally continue to use yellow people."

"Although there are not many roles in the role of the younger sister, the importance is not bad at all, and the actor who plays this role has to sign the trilogy directly, so I have to be more cautious when casting. If we can find the right actors, the new film can be officially launched at any time, but if we can't find the right young actors, then the project may be delayed for another two years."

"May I ask Director Li, how old is the character of the younger sister in the movie?"

Li Mu said, "12 years old."

The reporter said: "That's the post-95s."

Li Mu said: "If the actor looks suitable, the post-00s generation is not impossible to consider."

Then the entertainment industry exploded again.

Seriously, Director Li Mu is worried about the cast selection for the new movie?

Who is Li Mu? There are four of the top 100 box office in global film history, ranking seventh at the highest level, and the top 11 people in the box office list of Chinese film history occupy six seats, and may change to eight seats by the end of the year.

Such a big director is preparing to shoot an international A-level blockbuster, the heroine is still Liu Yifei, and now there is still a lack of a role of "Liu Yifei's sister", and this role has to be signed as soon as it is signed!

The role of the younger sister of the heroine of the Hollywood A-list blockbuster trilogy?!

What exactly this represents, everyone in the circle knows.

There were Mou girls and star girls before, but now Director Li Mu is lacking a "Mu girl" in his hands.

Although this role is just a female supporting role, it doesn't seem to be enough to be called a certain girl.

But this is a Hollywood A-level production of female supporting actress!

How many Hua Dan-level actors in China have tried their best to show their faces in Hollywood blockbusters? !

In short, after this interview, the entire Chinese-speaking entertainment industry became lively.
