[The box office of "The Revenant" was 236 million in 3 days after its premiere, please don't treat it as a literary movie! ] 】

[With a revenue of $59 million in the first weekend of 3 days, "The Revenant" topped the North American weekend box office! ] 】

[Maoyan predicts a box office of 693 million, and the word-of-mouth box office of "The Revenant" is a double harvest! ] 】

["Iron Fist" has a good reputation and loses to "The Revenant" at the box office, and the Chinese people trust Li Mu's film more. 】

In fact, the performance of "The Revenant" in the domestic film market is not very good, take "Living Together in Time and Space", which was just released some time ago, for example, this movie Li Mu used the newcomer director Su Lun, and the production cost of the film is only 10 million yuan, or RMB, but what about its box office results?

The domestic box office of "Living Together in Time and Space" is 1.18 billion yuan!

Even if it includes 60 million ticket supplements, the actual box office is still a very terrifying number.

On the other hand, the production cost of "The Revenant" is as high as 120 million, or US dollars, which is more than 800 million when converted into RMB, which is more than 80 times the production cost of "Living Together in Time and Space", and the domestic predicted box office is only about 700 million.

Even most netizens are exclaiming that Li Mu has created another miracle.

Why is this happening?

First of all, the main target group of "The Revenant" is not domestic, which most netizens know well. Not to mention that you can still get a box office of about 700 million in China, what if you can't get 100 million? Director Li Mu is going to make Yankee money this time!

The North American market is 59 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend, the North American weekend box office champion, although this achievement is not outstanding in director Li Mu's works, you must know that the first week champion in North American film history, the first day champion in film history, and the highest single-day record in film history are all Director Li's works, but if you check the information carefully, you will know, not to mention taking this number in the first three days of the weekend, how many of the total box office of Chinese directors in North America can exceed this number?

Besides, everyone knows that the biggest goal of "The Revenant" is actually the Oscars, even if the box office is low? Maybe next year, Director Li Mu will come back with a little golden man!

"It's already very awesome, and you can't ask Director Li Mu's films to break 100 million at the box office in the first week in North America, right?"

"The top directors in the mainland and Xiangjiang have been shattered in the past few years, and it seems that there is only one Li Mu who has always maintained a high level of creation."

"You think the only one is nonsense?"

"To be honest, I don't envy Li Mu's high box office results, but I envy Liu Yifei's eyes when he looks at him, whether a person has you in his heart or not, his eyes will not deceive."

"Really, looking at the collection of videos edited by netizens on station B, Li Muliu is not in the same frame, it is really a perfect interpretation of the idiom 'affectionate vein'."

……

During the screening of "The Revenant", director Shen Junsheng came to Li Mu to discuss the casting of "20 Years Old Again", and the two discussed for about an hour, and most of the roles that were finally determined used were based on the actors of the original time and space, but some of the roles were different from the actors of the original time and space.

First of all, the biggest change must be the heroine, the heroine of the original time and space is Yang Zishan, and the time and space is a white soldier, which was decided early on.

There is also the role of the heroine's grandson, the role of the original time and space was played by Lu Han, and this time and space must not follow this configuration, the biggest problem is that Lu Han has not officially debuted at this stage.

Director Shen Junsheng proposed to invite Yang Yang, and Li Mu nodded in approval.

In addition, the heroine also has a granddaughter, the role of the original time and space is played by Yin Yuhang, this time and space Li Mu proposed to replace Jin Chen, Shen Junsheng has never heard of this actor, but this is normal, Jin Chen has just entered the entertainment industry this year, and he only played a small role called Hou Jian in "Peacock Feathers of Seven Weapons".

"I saw this girl on TV some time ago, and then I searched for it, and I felt that this girl was still good, you asked people to find her contact information and invite her to audition."

"I'll do it when I get back." Shen Junsheng nodded in agreement and thought, "It's not bad to be told by Mr. Li, this girl has met a noble person this time." ”

"Who are you going to use for the lead singer of the band?" Li Mu asked Shen Junsheng.

Shen Junsheng is the director, but most of the actors were determined by Li Mu's words, although Shen Junsheng is recognized by the whole network as the first tool director under Li Mu, but the tool director is also a director, isn't it? The right to be given should still be given.

As a result, Shen Junsheng didn't raise his head and said: "I think it's just Di Li hot, this role is set as an ordinary college student, said to be the lead singer of the band, in fact, the singing skills are also very average, I think it's very suitable to use the hot bar, beautiful, eye-catching, vibrant, in line with the basic setting of the lead singer of the college student club." ”

Li Mu nodded: "It's okay, since you think it's appropriate, then give a notice." ”

……

After the main actors of "20 Years Old Again" were basically determined, Li Mu worried about the preparations for "Shark Beach" again.

He doesn't have to worry much about the casting of "Shark Beach", the most important actor in this movie is actually only the heroine, and now the heroine has been determined to be played by Yang Mi, and the other actors, just choose a few with your eyes closed, anyway, it's all a trick.

The real trouble is the director of the film, and now Li Mu really doesn't have a very suitable candidate at hand.

Director Lin Chaoxian can do it, but he and Wu Jing are filming "Fast Pursuit" in the United States, Li Mu has a few assistant director candidates who have followed him for a few years, but the most outstanding Li Mu still has to use it himself, whether it is "The Hunger Games 2" or the preliminary preparations for "The Fault in the Stars", this will have already begun, these assistant directors under Li Mu are now busy with these two things, and the remaining assistant directors, who are okay as deputies, lead a film with a cost of 15 million US dollars, It still looks a little lacking.

If you really can't find a suitable candidate, maybe the film "Shark Beach" will have to wait for director Lin Chaoxian to finish "Rapid Pursuit".

……

Kyo City.

A residential building.

Sun Ran encouraged him with a smile while helping Guo Fan tidy up his clothes: "You're so handsome, you are talented at first glance, don't worry, Huashang Media will definitely sign you." ”

Guo Fan walked to the half-length mirror and took a photo, he was quite satisfied with his outfit today, turned his head and smiled at his girlfriend Sun Ran: "It doesn't matter if you don't sign it, Huashang Media won't sign it, I'll go to Wanda, and if Wanda doesn't sign it, I'll raise money to make my second movie by myself, I believe that if it's gold, it will always shine, but the difference is just sooner or later." ”

Sun Ran smiled and nodded.

Of course, she knows that with Guo Fan's ability, there must be film and television companies willing to sign him, and she also knows that with his ability, she will definitely be able to find someone who is willing to invest in him to make movies, but she knows that Guo Fan's ambition has never been to be an ordinary director.

In 1995, 15-year-old Guo Fan, after watching Cameron's "Terminator", was excited and didn't sleep all night, that day, his blood was boiling, and a voice in his heart told him: "I want to become a science fiction director!" ”

At this time, it seems that he is getting farther and farther away from his dream, but Guo Fan has never given up his ambition, he often asks himself in his heart: "When I reach the age of 80 and lie on the chair and reminisce about time, will I regret giving up my dream of film?" ”

"Definitely."

So after graduating from university, Guo Fan became a Jingpiao, while mixing in the major crews, while accumulating an understanding of the film industry, and finally after a few years in Beijing, Guo Fan applied for the Beiying exam again, and this time he succeeded.

Sun Ran and Guo Fan are high school classmates, and the two established a relationship in college, so Sun Ran knows Guo Fan's ambitions well, knowing that he doesn't just want to be a director, his biggest ambition is actually to be a science fiction film director, a science fiction director like his idol James Cameron.

In the past, Guo Fan's idol was only James Cameron, and Li Mu has been added over the years.

When Guo Fan saw "Inception" for the first time, he was already amazed by Li Mu's directorial talent, and later "Gravity" led the global 3D movie storm, and this movie was even earlier than "Avatar" directed by idol Cameron!

Under the leadership of Li Mu, Huaxia films are in front of the world for the first time, and at this moment, Director Li Mu's status in Guo Fan's heart is no longer inferior to Director Cameron.

Some time ago, Guo Fan's directorial debut was officially released, and although the total box office was only a meagre 7.22 million, he still received an olive branch from Wanda Pictures.

For Guo Fan at this moment, joining Wanda Pictures seems to be a good choice, but if he wants to realize his sci-fi dream, I am afraid that the only way to do it is to join Huashang Media.

That's why he asked his girlfriend to dress up for him today, and he was going to Huashang Media to recommend himself.

If he succeeds, of course, it is best, if he fails, he will die, and then he will accept the olive branch handed over by Wan Da, as for the sci-fi dream in his heart, after he makes a name for himself in this industry, he will have a chance in the future.

……

Jin Chen was shopping when he suddenly received an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, is this Miss Jinchen? I am the assistant vice president of Huashang Media, my surname is Zhang, yes, we Huashang Media is preparing a new movie, directed by Director Shen Junsheng himself, there is a very important supporting role in the new movie, Director Shen Junsheng and President Li Mu have designated you together, and now we Huashang Media officially invite you to audition, I don't know if Miss Jin Chen are interested? ”

Jin Chen stopped in the mall, she was silent for four or five seconds, and then replied in a very calm tone: "Please tell Director Shen Junsheng and President Li Mu on my behalf, just say that I am not interested in supporting roles, and I will play the heroine if I want to." ”

After speaking, Jin Chen hung up the phone decisively.

Just kidding, who is she Jinchen? A little transparent one with no connections and no background, some time ago she finally starred in the role of Hou Jian in "Seven Kinds of Martial Arts: Peacock Feather", but she didn't splash at all, and now she never wears a mask when she goes shopping in the mall, and she has never been recognized.

Just a small transparent piece of the showbiz like her, who has no signing company, no agent, and no assistant, and it is her turn to designate a role together with Director Shen Junsheng and Director Li Mu?

Who is director Shen Junsheng?

The director of "People in Embarrassment in Thailand", the mainland box office is 1.5 billion!

Who is President Li Mu?

The total box office of his directed works exceeds 5 billion US dollars, ranking among the top three top directors in the world!

These two people have assigned a role together, so you can say how important this role is?!

It turned out to be just a female supporting role?!

Such a low-level fraud is used to deceive fools and fools who don't believe it!

……

"Mr. Li, just now Vice President Liu's assistant told me that she had invited Jin Chen, but she refused, I heard that the other party asked that she must be the protagonist, otherwise she would not act." Assistant Liang Bing reported to Li Mu.

Li Mu looked up a little stunned: "Did she treat the invited person as a liar?" With the strength of our company, with her current coffee position, will she refuse our invitation? ”

Liang Bing said: "There is indeed this possibility, but recently I heard in the circle that we are preparing to shoot a new movie, many companies are recommending actors to us, Vice President Liu Siying's meaning, it is not good to see each other, or meet other people first, if you meet the right one, you can use it, if it is not suitable, it depends on whether there are other roles that can be properly arranged." ”

Li Mu nodded: "Let Liu Siying and Shen Junsheng decide for themselves, and I won't interfere." ”

"I'll go talk to Vice President Liu later." Liang Bingdao.

Li Mu nodded.

Although he knew that Jin Chen was most likely treating the person who called him as a liar this time, he still didn't have the heart to ask his subordinates to call again.

First of all, the role of the heroine's granddaughter is indeed not too important, in fact, as long as she is about the same age and looks beautiful, it is no problem to use anyone, there is no need to have Jin Chen.

Secondly, there is a saying that luck is part of strength, Li Mu actually does not agree with this 100%, but sometimes he has to admit that luck is very important in many cases.

Li Mu originally had the intention of giving the other party a chance, if she lost this opportunity with her strength, she could only blame her for her bad luck.

I heard that Huashang Media is preparing two new movies, the entire Chinese entertainment circle has become a sensation, all major brokerage companies are showing their magic across the sea, and many well-known actors are desperately looking for a way, but the opportunity to be sent to the door Jin Chen missed it like this, isn't this bad luck?

After a while, assistant Liang Bing knocked on the door again and came in: "Mr. Li, there is a person named Guo Fan who wants to see you, he claims to be also a director, I just checked his identity to introduce himself, he is indeed a director, but at present, there is only one work called "The Adventures of Li Xianji", with a national box office of 7.22 million, which was just released some time ago. ”

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Guo Fan?" ”

Liang Bing nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li, have you heard of him?" ”

Li Mu nodded: "Please let him in!" ”

After a while, assistant Liang Bing led a man about 30 years old in, Li Mu stood up from behind the desk and stretched out his hand, the two shook hands, and then the two sides sat down, and the assistant Liang Bing prepared tea for the two.

After a simple greeting, Guo Fan got straight to the point.

"Director Li, you may not have heard my name, but your name is the goal I have to catch up with all my life, I am Guo Fan, graduated from the Department of Management of Beijing Film, this time I took the liberty to come to the door, in fact, I want to fight for an opportunity to participate in film production in Huashang Media, assistant director, assistant camera assistant, and even field affairs, but I also have my own requirements, that is, to stay in the big crew as much as possible, and it is best to be in the crew where Director Li personally directs the film."

Li Mu raised his head and smiled: "Assistant to the assistant director? I'm afraid this is a bit condescending, I've seen your "The Adventures of Li Xianji", and the movie is very good. ”

Guo Fan also smiled: "No matter how great the talent is, it is useless if there is no opportunity to show it, my ultimate goal is to become a director like Director Li, and to make films like "Gravity", "The Martian" and "Inception". But before that, the first thing I need is to let Director Li see my plasticity, assistant director or field manager is of course not an important position, but he is still a position that can give full play to my personal ability, I believe that Director Li will give me a chance to catch up with you after you see my talent. ”

Li Mu picked up a script from the desk and handed it to Guo Fan, saying, "You take a look at this storyboard script first, and then tell me your opinion." ”

Guo Fan took it with both hands and saw the two big characters "Shark Beach" written on the cover.
