Li Mu's announcement that he was preparing to shoot "The Hunger Games" undoubtedly dropped a depth bomb in the Chinese entertainment industry, and for a while, countless men and women in the entertainment industry were actively running for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Beijing City, Fan Binbin's home.

On the coffee table in front of Fan Binbin are nail files, polishing sticks, nail remover pads, polishing water, beech sticks, and finger oil. She herself sat on the sofa and applied nail polish to herself, while anxiously waiting for news from her agent Yang Tianzhen.

Yang Tianzhen went to see director Li Mu's assistant Chen Zhixi, of course, in order to get a role in "The Hunger Games".

The "Hunger Games" series has sold 45 million copies worldwide, and its global influence is amazing; According to netizen statistics, the total box office of director Li Mu's works has reached 2.563 billion US dollars, of which the global box office of only "Inception" is as high as 956 million US dollars.

There is no doubt that participating in director Li Mu's work is equivalent to a heaven.

Li Lianhua used to be on the same level as her, and the two also competed for the first sister of Huayi, but because Li Lianhua acted in two movies directed by Li Mu, now people's salary has reached 2 million US dollars, and her Fan Binbin's salary is only 2 million yuan so far.

In the past, Liu Yifei's coffee position was far inferior to her, but because she took the big ship of Li Mu at the beginning, Liu Yifei now has a great reputation in Hollywood, with a salary of 2 million US dollars, and her Fan Binbin's salary is still 2 million yuan.

If the person who participated in director Li Mu's work was her Fan Binbin......?

"Binbin."

It didn't take much effort, and Yang Tianzhen arrived.

"Sister Tianzhen, come, sit."

As soon as Fan Binbin saw Yang Tianzhen's face, he knew that things were not going well.

Yang Tianzhen sat opposite Fan Binbin and said, "Director Li Mu's assistant said that there are only two yellow female characters in "The Hunger Games" besides the heroine, and you are not suitable for these two roles."

Fan Binbin nodded helplessly.

Yang Tianzhen continued, "One of the characters is the heroine's sister, and Director Li's assistant said that you are too old to play this role."

Fan Binbin's action of applying nail polish couldn't help but pause, and then Yang Tianzhen continued: "Assistant Chen Zhixi later said that there is another role that is the heroine's mother, and this time she said that you are too young to play this role."

Fan Binbin suddenly gasped, and then saw her throw the nail polish in her hand on the coffee table in front of her, and her face became a little ugly.

This time, she really broke her defense in her heart.

I remember when "Hurricane Rescue 1" was casting, Xiying was very satisfied with her, and she was very hopeful of winning this role, but Li Mu, who was just a screenwriter at that time, stood up and directly said that she was too old to be suitable.

At that time, she was only 23 years old, but Li Mu actually disliked her for being old!

That time she almost broke the defense.

Then came the casting of "Assassin", which was the peak duel between Cheng Long and Li Lian, two kung fu superstars, and later Li Lianhua became internationally renowned with this film, but Li Mu, who was already a director at the time, bluntly said that she was too young and it was not suitable for Cheng Long to play a couple!

What's wrong? Clarity is an excuse!

Later, didn't she and Brother Cheng Long's "Shinjuku Incident" act very well?

That time she really broke the defense.

And then this time, in order to be able to participate in "The Hunger Games", she has promised to give in to all the concessions, and the result - as a result, this time Director Li Mu directly gave her a combined attack that fused the first two damages!

For the first time, she said that she was too old to be suitable.

The second time she said she was too young to be suitable.

The third time she said she was both too old and too young, so neither of the roles was suitable?!

MMP, a swear word instantly sprung up in Fan Binbin's mind.

"Calm down, you must be calm, get angry and grow old fast!" Fan Binbin said to himself in his heart after taking a deep breath.

……

When the news came out that Li Mu's new movie needed a girl about 12 years old, hundreds of little girl's information were soon handed to Li Mu's desk, but at this time Li Mu was not in the mood to watch these at all, the new movie "Doomsday Collapse" was about to be released, and Li Mu wanted to focus on the promotion of the new movie for the time being.

Since June, the film has released dozens of versions of movie trailers - Chinese version, American version, RB version, Korean version, French version, German version, etc.

With the continuous release of movie trailers, the popularity of "Doomsday Collapse" around the world is also rapidly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, crashing skyscrapers, and huge disasters that destroyed the world, the quality of the movie is still unknown for the time being, but judging from the trailer, this is what a disaster movie should look like in the hearts of netizens.

With the increasing popularity of "Doomsday Collapse", the hearts of many big domestic directors are also complicated by one race.

Hangzhou City.

Director Feng Xiaogang, who is intensively filming "The Great Earthquake", has clearly felt the increasing popularity of "Doomsday Collapse", and he can't help but feel a little aggrieved that the previous waves were photographed on the beach.

Of course, his relationship with Li Mu is okay, and he doesn't expect Director Li Mu to plant a big heel, but it is inevitable that he will have a little helplessness and even powerlessness in his heart.

In the past, he Feng Xiaogang was synonymous with box office appeal, from 1999 to 2003, he Feng Xiaogang won three annual box office championships in five years!

When it comes to box office hits, he really doesn't frustrate anyone.

As a result, the young Li Mu stepped into the entertainment industry.

Good fellow, he felt as if he had suddenly gone from being in the middle of the day to being powerless.

If you want to fight for the domestic box office alone, he barely dares to fight for it, but who will fight with you for the domestic box office in the 21st century!

The first movie of the family killed all sides in the international market, and what is even more terrifying is that none of the subsequent movies fell below 300 million US dollars, and the most terrifying thing is that "Inception" won 956 million US dollars at the global box office?! How do you let these domestic directors fight with Li Mu?

Although everyone can't fight Li Mu in the domestic market, at least they can fight it, but when it comes to the international market, there is no need to compare it together, okay?

The most terrifying thing is this year, Li Mu has only released two movies in the past half a year, and "Doomsday Collapse" will be released soon, and there will be a "Gravity" at the end of the year.

Who can understand Feng Xiaogang's current mood?

In the past five years, he won the annual box office three times, and now Li Mu alone is going to win the top four at the annual box office, and he Feng Xiaogang can only compete for fifth at most?

……

Director Jiang Wen is actively preparing for his new movie "Let the Bullets Fly" at the moment, and like director Feng Xiaogang, he also feels the rising popularity of "Doomsday Collapse" at this moment.

He has watched every movie of Li Mu, and he admits that even if he gives himself the same amount of money, he may not be able to make a movie like "Inception", which is a top-notch work even if you look at the whole of Hollywood.

It can be said that he Jiang Wen is not convinced by anyone in filming, but he has to admit that Li Mu is indeed very good.

But he doesn't mean to be presumptuous.

He admits that he may not be able to shoot "Inception", but Li Mu may not be able to shoot what he can shoot, such as "Let the Bullets Fly", which he is about to start filming, Li Mu may not be able to do it when he comes!

……

Gan Province.

Director Zhang Yimou, who was filming "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" in the northwest, has also clearly felt the rising popularity of "Doomsday Collapse" recently.

However, he doesn't really care much about how much global box office "Doomsday Collapse" can get, whether it is 300 million US dollars, 400 million US dollars, or even 500 million US dollars or 600 million US dollars, this is not what Zhang Yimou is most concerned about.

At the moment, he cares about how much box office "Gravity" can get.

It can be said that the filming process of "Gravity" was formed for director Zhang Yimou

It was a very big shock, it turned out that the technology of foreign crews had reached this point, and the great changes in the film industry were coming, and now he was a little convinced of Li Mu's judgment that James Cameron's new movie could win $2 billion at the box office.

……

On July 23, the world premiere of the disaster movie "Doomsday Collapse" was held at the Olympic Sports Center, with director Li Mu and leading actors Cheng Long, Yang Ziqiong, Liu Yifei, etc. all attending, and friends in the circle of the film's creators also expressed their support on the spot.

From 0:00 on July 24, the film was officially released nationwide.

Since July 24, various exclamations have begun to appear frequently in theater screening halls across the country.

Hollywood has made countless disaster blockbusters, but it is not often that the entire city has been completely destroyed and so shocked like "Doomsday Collapse".

In the past, even if there were, it was usually just a meteorite from outer space that smashed into the city like a nuclear bomb, and then the entire city or even the entire earth was destroyed.

But "Doomsday Collapse" is completely different, this movie shows the very common natural disasters on the earth, earthquakes, tsunamis, but the power is magnified countless times.

Under the super earthquake, the surface of the entire city shattered and drifted like melting ice, countless skyscrapers with dozens of stories high completely collapsed like piles of sand, and the waves covered the skyscrapers with a super tsunami, and the seemingly huge city was completely destroyed in an instant.

Hoover Dam, Golden Gate Bridge, skyscrapers, every massive destruction is a visual spectacle, and it often makes the audience in the theater let out a heartfelt sigh of admiration.

It can even be said that before the release of the movie "2012", "Doomsday Collapse" was the ceiling of similar disaster films, and it seems that "The Day After Tomorrow" in 2004 can overwhelm "Doomsday Collapse" in the disaster scene, but the disaster of "The Day After Tomorrow" is completely different from the disaster of "Doomsday Collapse".

Especially this movie is still made by an authentic Chinese director, this level of disaster film, even if it is placed in the whole Hollywood, it is considered the top level, and now the Chinese director has made a top disaster blockbuster that Hollywood can not easily make, this is simply the dream of countless Chinese movie audiences for many years, and now Director Li Mu has helped everyone realize this dream.

As a result, when the movie is shown, the theater is filled with exclamations.

"Awesome!"

"Holy!"

"This TM was filmed by a Chinese director?"

"This TM can also be filmed by Li Mu!"

And immediately after leaving the theater, countless people frantically asked their friends Amway for the movie "Doomsday Collapse".

"Totally exceeded expectations, very, very good-looking, no urine spots throughout the whole process, and it was definitely worth the return ticket price!"

"The most shocking movie I've ever seen, with unprecedented disaster scenes and textbook pacing."

"The ceiling in disaster movies, in my heart, apart from "The Day After Tomorrow", there is no rival in the field of disaster movies."

"The movie is really very suitable for Uncle Long to play, and it can even be said that this film can only be played by Uncle Long, and Li Mu's tailor-made movie for Uncle Long is also very likely to become the highest-grossing work in Uncle Long's decades-long film career!"

……

At around 11:45 on the night of the 24th, Li Mu was already asleep, but Liu Yifei couldn't sleep at all because he was excited.

Seeing that it was 12 o'clock in the morning, China Film Group was about to send the first day data of the movie, Liu Yifei simply woke up Li Mu, she wanted to witness the first-day box office of this film with Li Mu very, very much.

Li Mu was a little unhappy when he was shaken awake, so he said in a daze: "The box office of "Inception" of 956 million US dollars has also been taken, and now you are so excited that you can't sleep when a "Doomsday Collapse" is released? Be obedient, sleep, and you won't be able to run tomorrow if you look at the box office results."

After saying that, Li Mu turned over and was about to continue sleeping, but Liu Yifei quit. She first said that she asked Li Mu not to sleep first, and then simply scratched Li Mu's itch, but it turned out that Li Mu was really sleepy, that is, no matter how Liu Yifei behaved, Li Mu just slept when he should have fallen asleep.

In the end, Liu Yifei bit his lips, and then leaned into Li Mu's ear and said something, and then Li Mu immediately became energetic.

"Really? Really? Don't regret it for a while!"

"I don't want to pull it down."

"I don't want to...... How could you not want to?"

……

Half an hour later, Li Mu's mobile phone suddenly lit up, Liu Yifei rolled over from Li Mu to reach the phone, took it and took a look, sure enough, China Film Group sent the first-day box office data of "Doomsday Collapse".

Liu Yifei opened the email skillfully, and then his eyes swept over the content of the email, and then he showed a look of excitement on his face.

"You're amazing!"

Li Mu had a smug look on his face.

"Now you know how awesome? Let's see if you dare to provoke me again in the future!"

Liu Yifei made a big red face.

"Phew! I'm not talking about that, it's the movie premiere box office out, 75 million!"

"Huh? Isn't it? Hahaha, I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

"You rascal!" Liu Yifei leaned into Li Mu's arms and said.

……

At noon on July 25th, the relevant creative staff of the movie "Nightclub" gathered together, director Yang Qing, starring Xu Zheng, Li Xiaolu, Qiao Renliang, and everyone had the word "joy" written on their faces.

"Cheers!"

Several people toasted together, and then everyone drank it all.

The movie "Nightclub" has premiered nationwide yesterday and achieved very good results, according to the data given by China Film, "Nightclub" received a total of 2.1 million yuan at the box office on the first day of release.

This is already a big success for a film with an investment of only 2.5 million.

At the same time.

The crew of the movie "Eavesdropping" is also celebrating the success of their film at the box office on the first day.

According to the data given by the China Film Method, the movie "Eavesdropping" received a total of 11 million box office on the first day of release, which also made it the first Xiangjiang police film to exceed 10 million on the first day in the mainland, and many theaters predicted that this film is expected to break through the 100 million yuan mark.

On July 24, a total of three new movies were released across the country, namely "Eavesdropping" starring Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, Wu Yangu, and Zhang Jingchu; "Nightclub" starring Xu Zheng and Li Xiaolu; There is also "Doomsday Collapse" directed by Li Mu.

Now the box office on the first day has come out, and the creators of "Eavesdropping" and "Nightclub" are all satisfied with the results of their films, but the two crews are celebrating at home while always paying attention to the news of Li Mu's movie "Doomsday Collapse".

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Sina Entertainment finally broke out the first-day box office data of "Doomsday Collapse".

"The box office of "Doomsday Collapse" was 75 million yuan on the first day, and the third hit movie directed by Li Mu was born this year!"

After seeing the relevant news, Xu Zheng drank all the wine in the glass in front of him.

Although "Nightclub" was a big hit at the box office, this was ...... Aggrieved!

2.1 million first-day box office, a few of them are still celebrating here, and then look at director Li Mu, the first-day box office is at the level of 70 or 80 million!

2.1 million vs. 75 million, the gap is so big that people are desperate, and I don't know when I can really get out of the way.

Er Dongsheng, the producer of "Eavesdropping", directors Zhuang Wenqiang, Mak Zhaohui and others also have very complicated feelings when they look at the data of "Doomsday Collapse".

It stands to reason that everyone's box office results have all met expectations, and they should even be considered good, but looking at the results of "Doomsday Collapse" - good guys, 75 million on the first day?

The box office on Friday is 75 million, and it is not more than 100 million on Saturday?

The single-day box office is going to exceed 100 million again?
