November 29th.

Purple Jade Villa.

Liu Yifei took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator and walked over to Li Mu, Li Mu moved to the sofa to leave a vacant seat for her, and Liu sat down against Li Mu's stomach.

She is wearing Li Mu's white shirt on her upper body at the moment, which is very large, covering the shorts on her lower body, and if she is not careful, she will think that she is not wearing anything on her lower body.

Li Mu took the water from her hand, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and handed it back to her, she raised her head and took a small sip before putting the water on the coffee table in front of her.

"I've been reading a lot of interpretations of Gravity on the Internet these days, and some of them are quite interesting, and then I suddenly remembered, if you want to interpret this movie, who in the world can interpret it more accurately than you, right? So I'll give you an online interpretation to see if what they say is right......

Li Mu is not in the mood to listen to her interpret the movie, he will already be dishonest in his hands.

"Don't move, you haven't said that the netizens are right." Liu Yifei said angrily.

"Of course not, in this case, I'll give you an official interpretation." Li Mu said.

"Okay, but can you be honest for ten minutes?" Liu Yifei glared at Li Mu.

"Okay - in fact, the metaphor of the movie is destruction and rebirth, Gong Li took off her spacesuit after returning to Tiangong-1, as if the baby was in the mother's womb, you should have an impression of this, right?"

"Uh-huh." Liu Yifei nodded again and again, that shot is very classic, of course she has an impression.

Li Mu continued, "Then what do you think the picture of Gong Li piloting the space capsule and running towards the earth with many debris looks like?"

Liu Yifei thought about it very seriously for a while, but he still didn't have a clue, so he asked, "What is it like?"

"Here's a hint for you." Li Mu said, "Whether it is a space capsule or a space station debris, a long tail flame has been produced because of friction with the air."

Liu Yifei tilted his head and thought for a while, but he still didn't have a clue.

Li Mu said at this time: "The space capsule piloted by Gong Li rushed towards the earth with a long tail, and the space capsule is the fastest flying among all the highlights that drag the tail flame to the earth, and in the end, only the space capsule successfully landed, don't you think this is very similar to the process of hundreds of millions of *** rushing to the egg?" If you think about it, the space capsule, the tail flame, the rush to the earth...... Doesn't it look like it?"

"Huh?"

Liu Yifei stood up suddenly, and then looked at Li Mu in surprise.

"Seriously? That's too much of an over-interpretation, isn't it?"

"Of course it's true!" Li Mu continued, "Why did the space capsule land in the water? Gong Li was entangled in the rope of the parachute, and she cut the rope like she didn't cut the baby's umbilical cord? What is Gong Li doing when she climbs onto land with great difficulty and then walks into the depths of the land like a toddler? Moreover, how can the pro-director's statement be over-interpreted?"

Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu in a daze, and forgot to speak for a while.

"Life is great, and we should be in awe of it." Saying that, Li Mu stood up and picked Liu Yifei up horizontally, and then continued, "We are now practicing the great process of the birth of life."

November 27-29, 2009.

North American box office charts.

"Gravity" topped the North American box office for the third time in a row with $69 million, down only 10% from last week, and set a new record for the third week of the box office in North America.

As of the end of this week, "Gravity" has accumulated $330 million in North America and $940 million in the world, and the Chinese box office has exceeded the 1 billion yuan mark.

There is only one step left before the Double Ten goal.

At the same time, the global box office of 940 million US dollars also made "Gravity" rise to the eighth place in global film history, and the seventh place at this time is the movie "Inception" directed by Li Mu himself.

In other words, there are currently two works directed by Li Mu in the top ten in global film history, and the ranking of "Gravity" is still rising rapidly.

At the same time, Jen

Ms Cameron's four consecutive updates for "Gravity" have gone viral throughout the Chinese Internet world.

Article 1: "I was stunned and knocked down. I think it's the best space movie yet. I grew up watching space movies, and that's my big love. I was a member of NASA's advisory board for 3 years. I'm longing to go to outer space, and now I feel like I've got it."

Article 2: "The most successful thing Li Mu has done is to truly show the state of weightlessness, he will take you to outer space, you will feel the magnificence of space, you will also see the beauty of the earth, the feeling of floating in space without gravity, and the loneliness, fear, beauty, I feel like I have been to outer space......

Article 3: "This film is also a precedent in terms of visual effects and 3 technology, and it makes perfect use of CG and live-action shooting, without flaws......

Article 4: "Another thing I like about this film is that it takes filmmaking technology to a new level......

Some netizens in the movie bar listed the evaluation of "Gravity" by the media around the world.

[The Hollywood Reporter: "Director Li Mu has proved that he is indeed one of the most talented directors in the world, and he has brought science fiction into the 21st century in a jaw-dropping way, and this is "Gravity"!"] 】

[The Sun: "This is the most dazzling movie in the past decade, and the scene where Ms. Gong Li pilots the space capsule back to Earth at the end is wonderful and blood-pumping." 】

[The Times: "No cinematic event can surpass 'Gravity', it's magnificent from every angle, whether it's ambition or visual effects, or groundbreaking production technology."] 】

The Guardian, The Hollywood Reporter, The New Yorker, The Chicago Reader, ***, The Los Angeles Times, The Houston Chronicle, Time – all of a sudden, it was as if the whole world was covering Gravity, and positive reviews were overwhelmingly mainstream.

When the domestic box office of the film officially exceeded 1 billion yuan, China Film organized a seminar on "Gravity", the original intention of the seminar was to study why "Gravity" is so popular, and the discussion turned into a discussion on how much box office "Gravity" can sell and how many North American championships it can win.

No one dares to say how much box office the center of the earth can take for the time being, and using the box office curve of previous movies to set "Gravity", the result will definitely be outrageously wrong.

At present, the only movie with a box office curve similar to "Gravity" is "Titanic" directed by James Cameron, but directly apply the curve of that movie?

Don't you think it's scary?

Li Mu was also present at the seminar, and the result was that while others were studying the data of "Gravity", they looked up at Li Mu not far away, looked at the evaluation of foreign media, and looked up at Li Mu at the scene again, and then felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

"Seminar seminar, discussion fart! Is this an achievement that a normal Chinese director can make?"

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

December 4-6, 2009.

In the national spotlight, the latest week's North American box office list was officially released.

01, "Gravity", $48 million.

02, "Warm Rugby", $20 million.

03, "Brotherly Feud", $9 million.

……

So far, "Gravity" has topped the North American box office for four consecutive weeks.

The domestic box office was 1.15 billion yuan, the North American box office was 380 million US dollars, and the global box office was 1.2 billion US dollars, officially ranking second in global film history!

Then the Huaxia Internet was completely boiling.

At first, many netizens browsed the news on the Internet as usual, and then found that it seemed that the entire Internet was discussing "Gravity", the second largest thing in world film history.

Tianya Forum:

"The rise of Gravity to the second place in global film history speaks volumes

Huaxia has science fiction genes, and Chinese directors can make good science fiction blockbusters!"

"From "Wu Ji" to "Gravity", the rapid progress of Chinese films in recent years is inseparable from the rapid rise of Made in China."

"Commenting on "Gravity" rose to second in the world, Hollywood can add the role of Li Mu when filming "Men in Black 3" - this is definitely an alien hidden in China!"

Movie Bar:

"Second in film history?"

"It's true!"

"Li Mu is awesome!"

"The most awesome thing is that "Gravity" is still full of momentum after four weeks of release!"

"I feel like I have the hope of topping the North American box office chart five times!"

"If only I could be the first in global film history, the second in film history is not fun!"

"What do you think? The first in film history is $1.8 billion at the box office!"

Liu Yifei:

"Brother-in-law is showing a big face this time."

"If you have the heart, don't take on the show, the top priority now is to prepare for pregnancy!"

"Rub, why did you fast forward to getting pregnant?"

"I know everything!"

Purple Jade Villa.

Liu Xiaoli made a cup of flower tea for her daughter, and Liu Yifei took a shallow sip while watching TV.

"No, he didn't tell you when he was going to get married?"

"We're still young." Liu Yifei said.

Liu Xiaoli lowered the voice of the TV and said, "Mom didn't mean that, Mom is worried......

Liu Yifei said: "Actors usually get married very late, and he didn't mention it, and I don't want to take the initiative to ask him."

Liu Xiaoli turned around and took the laptop, and then showed her the post in "Liu Yifei".

"Trying to get pregnant?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened.

……

In the blink of an eye, it is the fifth week of the official global release of "Gravity".

December 11-December 13, 2009.

"Gravity" returned to the top spot at the North American box office with $41 million, Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" came in second with $25 million, and Warner Bros. "Rugby" came in third with $15 million.

So far, "Gravity" has achieved "five consecutive hegemony" in the North American film market, and the last "five consecutive hegemony" in the American film market appeared in 1999, when it was completed by the Disney company's film "The Sixth Sense".

As of the end of this week, "Gravity" has grossed 1.25 billion yuan in China, $470 million in North America and $1.34 billion worldwide.

Domestic netizens looked at this result with numb expressions.

"1.3 billion, still dollars! It's really exciting!"

"It's been ten years in North America, and there has been such a "Five Consecutive Hegemony" film, but it turned out to be a movie made by our Chinese people, and I don't know what the audience, actors, and directors of Lao Mei are in the mood of now?"

"The 'Five Consecutive Tyrants' are here, but are the 'Six Consecutive Tyrants' still far away?"

"Don't think about "Six Consecutive Tyrants", "Avatar" will be released next week, and "Gravity" will definitely not be able to beat the sci-fi masterpiece that James Cameron has been sharpening his sword for 14 years!"

"I'm rubbing, how can I forget this stubble, speaking of which, it would be nice if the schedule was two weeks in advance, so maybe there would really be a "six-consecutive tyrant" or even a "seven-consecutive tyrant".

"Suddenly I feel that there is no motivation to continue to pay attention to the box office, "Six Consecutive Hegemony" is definitely no play, and the global ranking - now it is second in the world, but it is too far away from the world's first place, and there is basically no hope of surpassing it."

"Wonderful! I don't know when the world film industry will be so lively again."

……

After the five weeks of "Gravity" in the world, Li Mu's status in the hearts of fans around the world is also growing wildly, and the funniest thing is that many fans finally put the director of "Gravity" and "Inception".

The director of the book was connected.

After watching "Gravity", many netizens around the world invariably sighed:

"Oh my God, what an awesome movie, the last time I saw such an awesome movie was at the beginning of the year, it was that "Inception", and the quality of Hollywood movies this year is so high! Who do you think is the director of "Gravity" or the director of "Inception"?"

Then there were familiar netizens who immediately popularized science:

"Well, actually, strictly speaking, neither of these two films is a Hollywood movie in the traditional sense, maybe it would be more appropriate to define it as a Chinese film, and most importantly - the director of "Gravity" and "Inception" is basically the same person, right? That is, the Chinese director Li Mu.

"Huaxia films? Li Mu? The director of these two films turned out to be the same person?"

"Of course!"

"He's amazing."

After "Gravity", Li Mu's name really began to spread all over the world, and his movies were very popular all over the world, but there were not many audiences who really remembered Li Mu's name after watching the movie before.

As long as the movie is good-looking, there are only a few directors who have a relationship with it.

And after "Gravity", everything has changed, and now Li Mu's fame in the world has become very big, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has reached the point of becoming a household name.

It's really the movie "Gravity" that is so popular, how popular is it? .

The film officially landed on RB on November 23, 2009, and earned 350 million yen at the box office on the day of its premiere. On November 28, 2009, "Gravity" swept the RB box office, earning 1.1 billion in 5 days.

November 28, 2009: The box office of "Gravity" in Xiangjiang exceeded 50 million yuan, officially topping the annual box office champion of the Xiangjiang Film Market that year.

December 12, 2009: In less than a month, the cumulative box office of "Gravity" in the Xiangjiang region broke through the HK$100 million mark.

In other major ticket countries, by the end of week 5:

French box office: 111.2 million

German box office: 75.8 million

UK box office: 73.5 million

South Korea box office: 58.9 million

Australian box office: 56.1 million

……

Just when the whole world fell under the charm of the first real 3 movie, Li Mu suddenly received a call from his mother Liu Xiaohui.

"Li Mu, tell you good news." Liu Xiaohui suddenly said happily.

"What's the good news?" Li Mu asked.

"Your father has been promoted, and your father will be the director of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of Qin Shi Huang in Xijing in the future."

"The old curator is retired? No, he's not old yet, right?"

"The old curator has been promoted and transferred to Beijing." Liu Xiaohui said with a smile.

"That's not right, there are several deputy directors of our museum, when will it be my father's turn." Li Mu asked, he was very familiar with the personnel of the museum, and knew that Li Yuansheng was not ranked high among the deputy directors.

"I don't know, anyway, the leader has already talked to your father, saying that he has outstanding business ability, and his superiors are unanimously optimistic about him."
