"Li Mu - surpassed James Cameron at the total box office?"

Many people in the country were confused by that news.

Who is James Cameron? is the director of the Terminator series! He is the director of the world's No. 1 box office "Titanic"!

What is the global box office of "Titanic"?

$1.845 billion!

It has been a full 12 years since the movie was released in 1997, and no movie has been able to surpass it in 12 years - let alone surpass, not even the box office can be close to "Titanic", not a single one!

The second-ranked "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has a global box office of 1.118 billion, which is a full 700 million less than "Titanic"!

Got it wrong?

Many people, especially domestic directors, are in disbelief and have verified it in person, including even directors like Chen Kaige, who also consider themselves to be international directors.

Cameron just had a few films — "Titanic," "Terminator 1," "Terminator 2," "True Lies," "Alien 2," "Abyss Alien," and "IMAX," and the box office figures were quickly added — $3.057 billion.

There's nothing wrong with a decimal point!

Counting Li Mu's box office, it turns out that the editor has added all the box office of Li Mu's screenwriting works, which makes Li Mu a little invincible, but - no matter what, Li Mu is already a director who is compared with James Cameron, okay?

And the most important thing is that Li Mu has only been making movies for less than 5 years now - 5 years, has it reached this level?

Purple Jade Villa.

Liu Xiaoli asked, "Have you watched the news?" said that Li Mu's total box office surpassed James Cameron. ”

"I saw it, but it counted the total box office of all his screenwriting works, not the total box office of his directorial works." Liu Yifei, who was sitting opposite his mother, continued a little lazily, "But director Cameron has been making movies for 25 years, and he has only been making films for less than 5 years, and I believe that when he makes movies for 25 years, his achievements will really surpass Director Cameron." ”

"yes, he's only 25 years old this year - by the way, his movie will be released this year, so he should be able to make a lot of money, right?" Liu Xiaoli first sighed, and then immediately changed the topic.

Liu Yifei thought for a while and said: "I seem to have heard him mention it, saying that the three movies "Inception", "Hurricane Rescue 2" and "Doomsday Collapse" together can probably bring him 250 million to 300 million US dollars in box office revenue. ”

Liu Xiaoli was a little surprised on her face.

I remember that in 2002, Lao Chen ranked 23rd in the Forbes list of the richest people in mainland China with assets of 215 million US dollars.

Now that seven years have passed, Lao Chen's total assets are still more than 200 million US dollars, but now Li Mu's film has won nearly 2 billion US dollars at the global box office in only half a year, and he himself has received nearly 300 million US dollars.

In half a year, the income has already exceeded Lao Chen's total assets?

My daughter's luck is too ......

"He should be around ...... I mean ...... around a man like him" Liu Xiaoli wanted to speak twice in a row, some words seemed to be difficult for her to speak, but the girl's temperament was sometimes really a little confused and arrogant, and some things she didn't say and really couldn't, so she organized the language again and continued, "There should be a lot of thoughts around him...... Borrow the woman he is on top, right? In short, you should also keep a snack, don't let a good relationship be disturbed. ”

"He? He won't. Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment and then smirked.

But her reaction made Liu Xiaoli even more worried.

"How do you know he won't?"

"Because a man wants everything a woman ...... I'll give it all. Saying that, Liu Yifei's face turned red inexplicably.

Hearing this, the worry on Liu Xiaoli's face did not decrease, but deepened.

"Anyway, keep some of your own thoughts, with his current status, as long as he wants to, he doesn't even need to think - it's not that you're still young and haven't seen the methods of those women, they really do anything for the sake of being in the position." In the end, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but remind.

"I know? I've seen them in any way. Liu Yifei said.

"You've seen it?" Liu Xiaoli's face was a little surprised.

"Of course I did!" Liu Yifei said with some amusement, "Once in the crew, there was a special actor, there were not many scenes, and she seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, so she gave Li Mu some local products from her hometown, and told him to be sure to open it in person, as if she also said that if he liked it, she would bring Li Mu more and something." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei suddenly couldn't help but laugh and leaned back.

"That day, Li Mu swore that I would go to eat souvenirs together, and I was also very curious, and then the two of us opened the box together."

Liu Xiaoli was fascinated by what she heard, and then she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with opening it, it's not a local product inside?" ”

Liu Yifei really couldn't help it, I saw her head on the sofa with a smile, and then giggled for a while, then sat up straight again and cleared her throat, and then said: "Souvenirs are really there, but there is a pair of leggings on them, and they look like they are still worn." ”

After speaking, Liu Yifei smiled again.

I remember that Li Mu also called the phone at that time, and the other party said that he took it off and threw it away and forgot it.

Liu Xiaoli looked at her girl who laughed like a fool, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while, she really couldn't figure it out, is this matter really funny? What's funny? How much of a crisis is hidden in this, is it really difficult for the girl to feel it?

What if Li Mu didn't open the package with his daughter?

"No, you just said that you can give everything a man wants, but I don't know if you've thought about it, do you really know what a man wants?"

"What do men want?"

Liu Xiaoli didn't answer, and it was not easy to answer, because it was not her daughter, not her best friend, there were some things to say to her best friend, but it was not good to say to her own daughter.

However, Liu Xiaoli's words still aroused Liu Yifei's curiosity, so not long after this conversation ended, she searched the Internet very seriously for the question of what men wanted.

She read a lot of answers on the Internet, and the result was that netizens said everything - family, career, honor, etc., until someone answered this question with the words written in the diary of Ji Xianlin, a master of Chinese studies:

"I only wish for a few more women in this life."

"What?"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but wonder in his heart that the difficulty was really the master's original words?

That night, she had to pester Li Mu to ask about this topic, and asked Li Mu if he thought the same way, of course Li Mu would not admit it.

"Me? Of course I'm not, how could I think that?! ”

"Well, I see, which means that you are higher than the master's realm, right?!"

"Actually, no, but the most I can think about ......"

"Huh? Do you have to think about it at most? ”

"So should I think about it or shouldn't I think about it?"

"Do you yourself have that kind of mind that you still need to ask others?"

……

A few days later, Li Mu responded to the fact that he surpassed James Cameron in the total box office in an interview with reporters, but to almost everyone's surprise, Li Mu directly jumped out of the framework of talking about the box office comparison between the two this time, but talked about James Cameron's huge impetus for the progress of the film industry.

He talked a lot about James Cameron's latest film "Avatar", about the great progress of 3D technology and the wide prospects of motion capture technology in films, and about the consulting he had, he dared to boldly assert that this time director Cameron would definitely shock the whole world with "Avatar".

When the reporter asked whether Li Mu thought it was possible for Cameron's new film to surpass the box office of his predecessor "Titanic", Li Mu gave a positive answer without hesitation. In the end, he asserted that this time it is not just as simple as surpassing the box office of "Titanic", this time director Cameron wants to promote a revolution in the film industry.

In the end, Li Mu even shouted that all theaters should introduce more 3D screens and build more IMAX theaters as much as possible, because everyone will soon see the spectacle of scalpers who speculate on train tickets entering the film market, and soon see the absurd plot of a movie ticket being fried to 1,000 or even 2,000 in reality.

"I know that no one will believe me when I say this, maybe some people will say, to watch a movie, you have to find a scalper to buy a ticket? Theoretically, the release cycle of a movie can be as long as two months, but when is it not possible to buy tickets during this period? Is there any reason to have to buy movie tickets with scalpers at a higher price? But what I'm going to say is, think about why I say Avatar and Gravity are epoch-making films. ”

"Of course, I also know that words are not based on what I see, so I now officially invite the heads of theaters and theaters across the country to come to Beijing to watch movies, and I also believe that after watching the movie, the first thing you should do after returning to your own work is to introduce more 3D screens and increase the number of IMAX theaters as soon as possible."

"Finally, I want to say to fans across the country, in the future, when you want to watch "Avatar" or "Gravity" but you can't buy tickets offline or the ticket price is too high by scalpers, you can log on to the website of our company's Maoyan Movie to buy tickets online, not only the original price, no need to queue, but also you can choose seats online, which is very convenient."

……

Li Mu's words are popular, and they are out of the circle, and the most pertinent evaluation given by netizens across the country is: Li Mu is probably crazy this time!

Watching a movie and making a scalper come out?

Do you boast so much about your new movie? Landmark? More than enough is too much!

You can't buy a ticket offline and buy it online, and you can increase the price of a ticket by a few hundred?

Do Chinese people love to watch movies so much?

3D movies?

Is this something new? It's been around for decades, right?

The person in charge of the theater and the cinema chain will not buy it, you say epoch-making is epoch-making, you say that it is difficult to find a ticket?

You say that the introduction of 3D screens will be vigorously introduced? Do you think it costs nothing to introduce 3D screens and build new IMAX theaters? IMAX is so expensive, how many Chinese people are willing to watch?

However, Li Mu invited everyone to the capital to watch the epoch-making movie in advance, everyone still has to go, now the annual movie market is more than 6000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Many theater directors have thought about it, although everyone doesn't believe Li Mu's so-called epoch-making films, but in order to improve the relationship with director Li Mu, 3D screens should be introduced.

In fact, at this time, "Gravity" has not yet completed all the post-production work, but if you want to come up with a finished product of more than half an hour, so that the theater leaders across the country can feel the latest 3D shooting effect, this is completely possible.

At the same time that Li Mu was nervously preparing for the early viewing plan, the global release of the movie "Doomsday Collapse" was basically coming to an end.

As of the latest day's data, the film has won a total of 790 million yuan at the box office in the mainland, ranking second in the domestic film market.

The first is, of course, Li Mu's movie "Inception", and the third is also Li Mu's movie - "Hurricane Rescue 2", which was just released this year.

As of the official release, "Doomsday Collapse" has won a total of $221 million at the box office in North America, plus $262 million at the box office overseas, so far "Doomsday Collapse" has won a total of $483 million in the international market.

Converting the domestic box office of 790 million yuan into US dollars at the current exchange rate, plus the international box office of 483 million US dollars, the global box office of "Doomsday Collapse" has reached 597 million US dollars, ranking 39th in the top 100 box office list in global film history.

……

On August 29, 2009, the 13th Huabiao Film Awards held an award ceremony at the Beijing Exhibition Center, in which the film "Inception" directed by Li Mu won the "Outstanding Feature Film" award, and the film "Inception" won the same award as Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number", Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" and other nine films.

Well, the jackpot of ten yolks.

In addition, the "Outstanding Director Award" of this year's Huabiao Awards also opened three yellow eggs, and the award-winning directors and works are:

Directed by Feng Xiaogang, "Assembly Number".

Directed by Chen Kaige, "Mei Lanfang".

Directed by Li Mu, "Inception".

In addition, Li Mu also won the Outstanding Screenwriter Award and the Outstanding Actor Award at this year's Huabiao Awards, and Liu Yifei also won the Outstanding Actress Award.

It is worth mentioning that these awards are also three yolk eggs, for example, the other two egg yolks of this year's Outstanding Actress Award were awarded to Zhang Ziyi ("Mei Lanfang") and Fan Zhibo ("Emergency").

At the beginning of September, Li Mu's other film "Manchester by the Sea" officially landed in the North American film market, and although its box office performance was average, it received rave reviews and direct Oscar popularity.

On September 8, the nominees for the 27th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards were officially announced, and "Inception" won nine nominations, including Best Feature Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Recording, Best Art, and Best Music.

Li Mu doesn't care about the Golden Rooster Award, but Liu Yifei is excited, the title of Golden Rooster Award actress is still quite attractive to domestic actresses.

That's right, in this year's Golden Rooster Award nomination, Liu Yifei was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress for his performance in "Inception".

Strictly speaking, "Inception" is a two-heroine movie, but Marion Cotillard is an Oscar-winning actress, and it is obviously impossible for people to receive the Golden Rooster Award in China.

Therefore, although Liu Yifei's performance in the movie is far inferior to Marion Cotillard, the Golden Rooster Award awarded the nomination of the actress to Liu Yifei.

In addition, Li Mu was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Golden Rooster Awards for the role of "Sentinel", which also made Liu Yifei very happy.

"You say, can you win the award this time?"

"Absolutely!"

Since being nominated, Liu Yifei has asked Li Mu this question every once in a while, and Li Mu has given her a very positive answer every time, and Liu Yifei will be very happy every time he listens to it.

Liu Yifei was coaxing her when Li Mu was coaxing her, in fact, only Li Mu himself knew that Liu Yifei would definitely win the award this time, not only her, but also Li Mu, including the movie "Inception", in short, all the nominations won this time will be awarded.

Now Li Mu's influence in the film industry is too great, but he hasn't won a few decent domestic awards so far, which is really a bit too much.

So long before the nomination for this year's Golden Rooster Award was officially announced, Li Mu had already been hinted at in advance.

But there is no need to tell Liu Yifei, just surprise her.
