"How can you fight seven?"

At home, in the evening, Liu Yifei suddenly wanted to show Li Mu palmistry on a whim, but she didn't look at the palm prints, and first counted the bucket lines on Li Mu's fingers.

"Why can't I fight seven?"

Liu Yifei grabbed Li Mu's fingers and said: "One bucket is poor, two buckets are rich, three buckets and four buckets sell tofu, five buckets and six buckets open pawnshops, seven buckets and eight buckets make officials, and nine buckets and ten buckets enjoy Qingfu." You haven't been an official, how can you fight seven times? Obviously, it should be six buckets, you open a company to do business, and six buckets are in the sky. ”

Li Mu: "This is what you boast of knowing how to read palmistry?" ”

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "This is just the most basic, I will also look at the lifeline, career line and marriage line." ”

Li Mu pulled her over and hugged her in his arms: "It's amazing, but my seven buckets mean the Big Dipper, the Big Dipper is unspeakably expensive, and it's not uncommon for me to be an official." ”

As he was talking, the mobile phone rang, Liu Yifei broke free from Li Mu's arms and said, "I'll go get the phone." ”

When she took her phone and glanced at the caller ID, she had a surprised look on her face.

"Whose phone number?"

"Guess!"

"Yang Mi?"

"I knew you liked her!"

Liu Yifei was angry and handed the phone to Li Mu.

"Is that him?"

Li Mu was also stunned for a moment after seeing the caller ID, and he immediately connected the phone.

"Hey, Master Xing."

"Director Li, hello, didn't bother you, did you?"

"No, no, Master Xing, you can call me, it's too late to surprise me."

"It's good not to bother, then I'll be blunt, there is a role in my new movie that is very suitable for you, and I want to ask you to come over and help make a cameo, I don't know if Director Li has time."

Li Mu was even more surprised now, Xing Ye actually wanted to find him for a cameo role?

Which director's film has a higher gold content than Li Mu's own film today? Li Mu doesn't even make cameos in his own movies now, how can he make cameos in other people's movies?

Now his movies are the third in the world at the total box office, second only to Spielberg and James Cameron, two god-level directors, and this status is not suitable for cameos in other directors' films.

Xing Ye is a director that Li Mu respects very much, yes, but it doesn't mean that Xing Ye will go if he looks for him to make a cameo. However, he was a little curious about which role the star master asked him to play a cameo.

According to the timeline, the film that Xing Ye is currently preparing should be "Journey to the West"?

So which character is in it?

"I may not have time for a cameo, but I'm curious about what kind of role you have assigned to me, Master Xing."

Zhou Xing, who only listened to the other end of the phone, swore and said: "It is a very interesting character, Yushu Linfeng, Merry Man, Qiyu Xuanang, Pianpian Gongzi, and the four beauties are followed by him at any time, in short, I envy others!" ”

Li Mu's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration: "Damn, this is an empty child?!" But this star master is also strange to be able to fool people, and he is always accompanied by the four beauties and the four beauties of the wilderness! This is a decrepit character, how does Xing Ye think it's suitable for me? I'm so handsome in this world! ”

"Director Li, don't worry, if you can come, I will definitely shoot Director Li's scenes as soon as possible, ten days at most, five days at the shortest, and I will definitely shoot all the scenes of Director Li."

Li Mu thought for a moment, refusal must be refused, but how to say it, there is something special in this.

At this time, Li Mu thought of two things.

The first thing is that since "Yangtze River No. 7", Zhou Xingzhi has never starred in the film in person.

The second thing is that Zhou Xingzhi invited director Feng Xiaogang to make a cameo appearance in "Kung Fu", but later director Feng Xiaogang asked Zhou Zhouxing to make a cameo in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", but Zhou Xingzhi directly refused.

Thinking of this, Li Mu said: "It's actually not impossible to play a cameo role...... However, that's the case, I also happen to have a character in my hand that is very suitable for Xing Ye to make a cameo, do you think the two of us should make a cameo appearance with each other? ”

"Huh?" The other end of the phone was obviously very surprised.

Li Mu continued at this time: "I'm talking about a comedian role, a bomb was installed on the train, the male protagonist knew that the explosion was inevitable, he looked at the passengers in all kinds of lives, and paid for the comedian on the train to make everyone laugh, the comedian agreed, and then at the moment when all the passengers laughed, time froze ......"

That's right, Li Mu is talking about the plot in "Source Code" that is about to start, the talk show actor in the original "Source Code" is indeed a talk show actor in reality, it seems that he is still a little famous, talk shows in China have not yet risen, Li Mu originally wanted to let Shen Teng come to play this role, and there are only a few comedians in China who can be called comedians, and there are even fewer who are influential enough.

Of course, the more famous this character is, the better the effect will be presented in the end, and if Zhou Xingzhi can say it, there may be unexpected effects.

However, he also knew that Zhou Xingzhi would not come by 1,000%, and others didn't know that he knew that Zhou Xingzhi died after "Yangtze River No. 7".

This can be regarded as an excuse for Li Mu to refuse Xing Ye.

However, to Li Mu's surprise, Xing Ye seemed to be really interested in this role, and he asked a lot of relevant details on the phone, and even gave a little improvement advice.

"Director Li, the role you said is very interesting, if it was me before, I might have taken it, but after "Yangtze River No. 7", I ......"

Li Mu: "I understand. ”

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei asked curiously, "Zhou Xingzhi invited you to play a cameo role?" ”

Li Mu nodded solemnly: "Well, a character with a kidney deficiency who is too drunk and has serious dark circles, I don't understand how Zhou Xingzhi thinks I am suitable, I am obviously such a jade tree and a graceful person, and I don't match the kidney deficiency boy at all." ”

Liu Yifei smiled when he heard this: "I think Zhou Xingzhi is quite accurate in looking at people, do you remember how many times you slept with me a night when the two of us first lived together?" Look at the present, and compare with you then. ”

"You say I'm empty? Look how I'm going to clean you up tonight! ”

"Come on, come on!"

A few days later, Zhou Xingzhi called again, and what Li Mu never expected was that this time he directly agreed to the cameo invitation that Li Mu said last time.

"Director Li, what we said before, if I take your role, you will take my role, and now I have officially decided to take over your role, now do you see my role?"

"Huh?"

"Director Li, don't shirk anymore, I promise not to delay Director Li too much."

"That'...... We'll make up our minds! ”

Now that Zhou Xingzhi has promised to make a cameo appearance in Huashang's movie, Li Mu will no longer refuse people thousands of miles away.

It's just a scene of ten days, and it can't delay anything.

At the beginning of November, "Source Code" was about to start, and Li Mu and related creators had dinner at a hotel in the magic capital.

Participating in the dinner were director Lin Chaoxian, starring Andy Lau, Song Ji, Yang Ziqiong, supporting actor Fan Wei, etc.

"Director Li, you asked Mr. Fan to play the doctor, is it because you sold that sketch? I think the biggest feature of the character of the doctor in the script is crutches. ”

Halfway through the meal, Song Qi drank some wine and asked with a red cheek.

I know that I sold that sketch, Mr. Gao: "Then take it, it's too much." Then Mr. Zhao: "What kind of bicycle do you want?" What a bike! "Finally, Mr. Fan shouted thank you!"

Li Mu said with a smile: "I really didn't think about this when casting, I just think that Teacher Fan's image is suitable and his character shaping ability is also strong." ”

Lin Chao said idly: "Actually, Mr. Fan is also very suitable for playing the comedian at the end, and now that Mr. Fan has played the crazy doctor, the comedian at the end has to find someone else." ”

Li Mu asked, "Who does Director Lin think is suitable to play this role?" ”

Lin Chao said: "This role does not have many scenes, and the role is not too big, and its practicality has little impact on anyone." But if you can interact with the actor's real identity, it will play the role of the finishing touch. is like Liu Yifei, who appeared at the end of "People in Embarrassment in Thailand", which surprised the audience very much. If this role wants to achieve a similar role, Zhao Benshan, Chen Peisi, and even Shen Teng can do it. ”

Li Mu smiled: "What if it's Zhou Xingzhi?" ”

Lin Chao said idly: "Of course Zhou Xingzhi will be better, but with his character, it is impossible to accept this kind of cameo, and I heard that he has already stopped." ”

Saying that, Lin Chaoxian shook his head.

Andy Lau said at this time: "I haven't worked with Zhou Xingzhi for almost 20 years, and I still miss the days when I made movies with him, but the opportunity may not be available again." ”

In fact, Andy Lau is still very afraid of cooperating with Zhou Xingzhi, first, Zhou Xingzhi is too demanding on filming, and second, Zhou Xingzhi's movie Andy Lau has limited room to play, Zhou Xingzhi is too dazzling, and cooperating with him will unknowingly steal the limelight.

But it would be really good if Zhou Xingzhi could be invited to play "Source Code", Andy Lau had read the full script and knew that the comedian who was about to end had very few scenes, so even if Zhou Xingzhi came, there was a high probability that he would not be able to steal the halo of the protagonist.

At this time, everyone listened to Li Mu and continued: "Since everyone thinks that Zhou Xingzhi is suitable, then we will decide this matter, please ask Zhou Xingzhi!" ”

Lin Chao smiled and said, "We want to invite, and we have to invite them!" ”

Andy Lau smiled: "Of course it's good to be invited, I think that role is really suitable for him." ”

Yang Ziqiong looked at Andy Lau and said with a smile: ""Tricky Expert" is a 1991 movie, and the two of you have not worked together for almost 20 years. ”

Song Ji leaned on one arm and said, "Director Li, you won't really invite Zhou Xingzhi, right?" ”

Everyone was silent for a while when they heard this, and then everyone looked at Li Mu, and then thought in unison, "Won't it?" Probably not?! It can't be true, right? ”

At this time, I saw Li Mu smile and nodded: "That's right, Zhou Xingzhi has indeed agreed to play this role." ”

Andy Lau: "Huh? ”

Lin Chaoxian: "Well, what? Director Li, are you serious? ”

Yang Ziqiong: "Huh? ”

Song Ji continued to stare at Li Mu with her arms folded, she drank a few more drinks tonight, and her face would be red.

A few days later, "Source Code" was officially launched, and Li Mu returned to Beijing immediately after attending the launch ceremony.

The release of "The Hunger Games" is imminent, and this will be the most intensive stage of the promotion of the new movie.

On November 19, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part I)" officially opened its global release.

On the evening of November 20, the premiere of the movie "The Hunger Games" was held in Beijing, Liu Yifei appeared on the red carpet of the premiere wearing a black swan dress, showing elegant and sexy beauty, holding Zhao Jinmai, who was only 9 years old, taking care of and spoiling throughout the whole process, and a warm big sister who was alive and easy.

The official global release date of the film is November 26, and the reason why the premiere was held in Beijing in advance on the 20th was because the crew would have to hold another premiere ceremony in the United States later.

The majority of the box office of "The Hunger Games" must be in the North American market, so Liu Yifei had to run the promotion in the United States a few days after the official release of the film.

On November 22, the box office data of the first three days of the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part I)" was announced, and its cumulative box office in China officially exceeded the 100 million yuan mark, indicating that the 2010 Chinese New Year file has been officially detonated by this "Harry Potter" in advance.

Some critics praised "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part I)" as "the most wonderful Harry Potter movie to date".

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part I)" has been officially released on about 9,400 screens in 4,125 theaters in North America since November 19. As of the early morning of the 21st, it has earned a total of $125 million at the box office in the North American market, ranking first in the North American box office list this week, and more than $100 million ahead of the second place "Super Villain".

The $125 million box office in the first three days of the opening weekend made the seventh film in the Harry Potter series directly ranked sixth on the "list of the strongest opening weekends in history".

At the top of the list at this time was Nolan's "Batman: The Dark Knight," which grossed $158 million in its first three-day weekend.

Director Nolan's 2008 record has not been broken.

Li Mu's previous best opening weekend result was $87 million, created by the film "Inception" in '09.

After the box office of "Harry Potter 7" was officially announced in the first three days of the first weekend, many people in China couldn't help but think of what Li Mu said in an interview with reporters before.

"By the way, when Li Mu was interviewed before, did he say that his "Hunger Games" has a certain chance of surpassing "Harry Potter 7" at the box office in North America?"

"That's right, yes, he said that his "Hunger Games" has a very wide audience in North America, so the North American box office is likely to surpass "Harry Potter 7."

"Haha, I feel like Li Mu is going to stumble this time, the data of "Harry Potter 7" looks fierce, $125 million in the first weekend, nearly $40 million higher than Li Mu's best result."

"The box office of "Harry Potter 7" is higher than Li Mu's best result? Right? Doesn't it mean that "Gravity" is second only to "Avatar" in film history? ”

"That's the global box office, and now we're talking about the opening weekend box office. "Gravity" grossed $79 million in its opening weekend, nearly $50 million lower than "Harry Potter 7". "Gravity" is a stable batch of box office curves. For example, if the box office of other movies is 79 million in the first weekend, it can directly drop to 30 million in the second week! But "Gravity" was $79 million in the first weekend, and $77 million in the second week, with almost no attenuation, which is a real miracle! ”

"Gravity is the light that accounts for the storm of 3D movies, otherwise it would not have been so high at the box office. Almost all of Li Mu's other films have top stars joining. "Assassin" has Cheng Long and Li Lian, "Hurricane Rescue" has Cheng Long, "Doomsday Collapse" has Cheng Long and Yang Ziqiong, "Inception" has Tom Hanks and other top Hollywood celebrities, what about "The Hunger Games"? There is Liu Yifei - in short, not very optimistic. ”

"I'm not very optimistic! I feel that this time Li Mu asked Liu Yifei to support such a big production alone, which is really a bit risky, and the quality of "The Hunger Games" and the sci-fi masterpiece of "Inception" are completely incomparable, the plot looks very naïve, it is essentially a fan-oriented movie, and it is estimated that the box office trend will not be very good. ”

"I feel that it would be better for the heroine to use a Hollywood superstar, but there is no way, who made Liu Yifei someone else's real girlfriend?"

"Super "Harry Potter 7" must be no play, I hope it won't be too bad."

On November 26, the film "The Hunger Games" was officially released worldwide.
