Li Mu called his parents in Xijing on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he returned to Xijing a lot every year, but the number of reunions in Xijing during the New Year was indeed getting less and less. With the rising importance of the Spring Festival file, in recent years, there have been important films released in Huashang almost every Chinese New Year's Eve, so in recent years, Li Mu has basically stayed in Beijing for the New Year.

In the past, when I returned to Xijing, I would occasionally bring Liu Yifei, about the candidate for their son's girlfriend, Li Mu's parents had some doubts at first, but since their son liked it, and with the contact, they did feel that their son's vision was not bad, and the old couple gradually accepted Liu Yifei, the candidate for the future daughter-in-law.

This year, Li Mu made a video call to his parents as in previous years, and after chatting for less than ten minutes, the mother on the other end of the phone blasted his father Li Yuansheng out of the living room, and then asked Li Mu to hand over the phone to Liu Yifei next to him, Li Mu was a little inexplicable, and he didn't know what his mother had to say, and he didn't even want to say it to his own son, but wanted to talk to his son's girlfriend.

Although a little confused, Li Mu still handed the phone to Liu Yifei, and then Liu Xiaohui, the mother in the video, asked Liu Yifei to come to the room, and it seemed that the two of them were going to talk alone.

Li Mu sat alone in the living room to study the selection of the protagonist of "Shocking Demon Thieves".

The four magic masters in this movie, the so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, except for the heroine, who are sure to use Liu Yifei, the candidates for the other three knights have not yet been determined.

Anyway, being idle is idle, Li Mu simply studied the candidate.

The head of the four horsemen is a master of tricks, an expert in fast poker. For this role, Li Mu already has four preliminary candidates in his heart, namely Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, Lei Jiayin and Duan Yihong, he is more inclined to Deng Chao, but he thinks that the other three are not bad, as for who will be used in the end, I am afraid that I will have to talk to all four people to determine.

There is also a hypnotist among the Four Horsemen, and he is also the oldest of the Four Horsemen. In the original film, this character was played by Woody Harrelson. This is a middle-aged uncle with very little hair, Li Mu saw that the first candidate that came to mind of this person was Guo A, in fact, the two are not very similar in appearance, at least not as similar as Guo A and Jason Statham, but Li Mu still thinks that maybe Guo A will be suitable for this role.

Guo A's acting skills are still very good, and Diao Guangdou played by him in "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty" left a very deep impression on Li Mu.

When you have the opportunity to meet in person, you still have to meet in person.

The rest is the last of the Four Horsemen, that is, the thief, this character's profession is a street hustler, and the role of the thief in the original movie is still the youngest of the Four Horsemen, and it seems that he is also the least existent of the Four Horsemen.

For this role, Li Mu intended to find Zhang Songwen to give it a try. The two have cooperated before, in the Huashang classic TV series "Latent", Zhang Songwen plays the role of the Black Dragon Club to carry the handle of Long Er, in the episode where the 94 Army bribed the stationmaster Stippunk brand car, it was this Dragon Er who replaced Yu Zecheng to check the money.

Li Mu has Zhang Songwen's phone number in his mobile phone, and he plans to call Zhang Songwen in person after he is busy with the release of "Fei Embarrassed", and invite him to try out.

The remaining original actor of the magic revelator is Morgan Freeman, who is already Li Mu's old friend, Li Mu's first work "Assassin" and the film "Super Body" starring Li Lianhua have this Morgan Freeman.

Among the important characters is also a billionaire who is also an investor in the Four Horsemen. In the original film, this role is played by Michael Caine, who is also an old acquaintance of Li Mu, who once played the father-in-law of the male protagonist Cobb in the movie "Inception" directed by Li Mu, and this time Li Mu still wants to continue to use him.

Just when Li Mu was studying the actor candidates outside, Liu Yifei in the room had already chatted with Li Mu's mother Liu Xiaohui about the topic of marriage.

Liu Xiaohui had also talked to Li Mu about this topic before, but without exception, Li Mu was confused, seeing that her son was twenty-eight years old and thirty years old, Liu Xiaohui was really worried, so she had a phone call with Liu Yifei alone today.

Through side knocks, Liu Xiaohui finally determined that the reason why her son is not married for the time being is that the root cause of the disease is actually in her son himself, and Liu Yifei has no intention of not wanting to get married.

So in the end, Liu Xiaohui told Liu Yifei that if she didn't take the initiative to mention it when Li Mu was thirty, she would have a showdown with her son at that time.

In fact, if Li Mu's career wasn't too big, his parents would have urged him to get married, and it was precisely because Li Mu's career was too big that his parents were not very good at interfering in his private affairs.

The son is too capable, and when the parents give their opinions, they will instinctively be weak-hearted.

When Liu Yifei came out of the room, his whole face was red, and he unconsciously hummed a little song in his mouth, Li Mu saw it and quipped: "Look at what makes you happy, it won't be my mother who sends you red envelopes, right?" Let me tell you, no matter how big the red envelope is, it has half of me. ”

Liu Yifei strode to the sofa and sat down, muttering: "Red envelope, you are almost thirty years old, Confucius said that thirty is not confused, you are almost not confused, you are almost old, and you are still thinking about the red envelope all day long, it is really embarrassing." ”

Li Mu stretched out his hand and took the person into his arms, and then quipped: "Also, in ancient times, I got married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and when I was thirty years old, I was almost - I accepted several aunts!" ”

He wanted to say that the ancients were about to become grandfathers at the age of thirty, but when the words came to his lips, he unconsciously became a concubine, which provoked Liu Yifei to pinch him when he raised his hand, and he was not to be outdone, and beat her ass when he turned people over.

……

On January 23, 2012, the first day of the first lunar month, the movie "People in Embarrassment" was officially released nationwide.

The audience's enthusiasm for "Non-Embarrassment" is still very high, starting from the first "People in Embarrassment", to the jaw-dropping "Thai Embarrassment", and then to "Non-Embarrassment" directed by Li Mu himself, the influence of the "Embarrassment" series in this time and space is far greater than that of the previous life.

For a while, whether it was a professional observer or an ordinary netizen, they almost unanimously believed that "Fei Yi" would definitely create a new record, and almost everyone was full of confidence in Li Mu and "Fei Wei", as if the only one who had some confidence in "Fei Wei" was Li Mu himself.

At noon on the same day, Douban officially released the film score, and "Non-Embarrassment" was scored by more than 10,000 people with a high score of 7.9, which has fully met Li Mu's previous psychological expectations.

Li Mu also flipped through the comments of netizens for a long time that day, and when he saw that most netizens had a positive view of the film, Li Mu happily hugged Liu Yifei's face and kissed it.

Liu Yifei raised his hand as if he had surrendered, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Really? Are you really that happy? Or are you just pretending, just trying to take the opportunity to rub my saliva? "Inception" is so popular and has such a high evaluation, I didn't see you like this at the time! ”

Li Mu stopped when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Also, my reaction seems to be a little too big, right, as for it?" ”

Then he immediately thought, "Whatever! My own girlfriend, what's wrong with kissing myself? ”

So he picked up his face and kissed it again, and then let go of Liu Yifei and said with a smile: "Isn't it that you are more beautiful and charming now than then, I can't control it at that time, and I can't control it even more now." ”

Liu Yifei put his arm around Li Mu's waist, looked up at Li Mu, and asked, "Net nonsense, people say that men always like eighteen, and I am almost twenty-five years old this year." ”

Li Muyi said in a rhetorical manner: "Nonsense, even if someone takes a hundred eighteen-year-old Sister Feng to exchange with me, let me choose a thousand times and ten thousand times, I will not hesitate to choose you who are twenty-five or even fifty-five." ”

Liu Yifei said: "Then what if you take the eighteen-year-old Yang Mi and Fan Binbin, add Gao Yuanyuan, add Jingtian, add Zhao Liying, add Song Tomato, add Tong Liya, and finally add another Liu Shishi?" Take the eight of them at the age of eighteen to exchange me with you, can you still change it? ”

"Hmm...... This ......"

"You're hesitating!"

"I-"

"I hesitated for eight seconds!"

"It's not—"

"Eight people, hesitating for exactly eight seconds, you must have gone through all eight of them in your mind just now."

"Well, even if it is, isn't that normal? When someone mentions a familiar person's name to you, you will also have a comparison of their appearances in your mind? ”

"Maybe you're fantasizing about hooligans!"

"Definitely not!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely not!"

"There must be, you just looked like that!"

……

Li Mu was too lazy to dwell on this topic, so she simply gave her a French wet kiss and taught her a hard lesson on the sofa, and she was honest.

Afterwards, Li Mu hugged the slick man, and couldn't help but think in his mind: "Damn, isn't it normal for me to hesitate for a few seconds?" That's right, this one in my arms is very good, but there are a whole eight on the other side! Can that man not be confused or hesitate in the face of such a multiple-choice question? ”

On January 24, the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Mu's latest masterpiece "People in Embarrassment" was released on the first day of box office, and the film won a total of 233 million yuan at the box office on the first day of release, ranking first in the box office list of the day.

The runner-up is the imported movie "Sherlock Holmes 2", which has been released for 9 days, with a single-day box office of 11.19 million yuan.

The third place was won by "Counter War", which was released 7, with a box office of 9.81 million on the same day.

The gap between the champion and the runner-up is as high as more than 220 million yuan, such a huge gap is simply appalling.

At the same time, the entire domestic media was almost completely alarmed.

In the past, the film with the highest single-day box office in the domestic film market had a single-day box office record of about 150 million or 160 million yuan, but this time "Non-embarrassing" directly refreshed the domestic single-day box office record to 233 million!

Moreover, whether it is the previous single-day record of 150 million or the single-day box office record of 160 million, the creators are almost without exception the works produced by Huashang Media, and some netizens are already saying that "the only one who can beat Li Mu is Li Mu tomorrow".

The topic of "Non-Embarrassment" in society has quickly spread to every corner of all aspects.

For example, a netizen posted that when he went to the hospital to see the recovery from hernia surgery, he asked the doctor if he could go to the movies, and the doctor said that there was no problem, so he told the doctor that he had bought a ticket for "Fei Yi" in the second year of junior high school, and was immediately strictly banned by the doctor.

The doctor told him that it must be no problem to watch ordinary movies, but you must pay attention to watching "Non-embarrassing", and be careful to laugh too loudly to open the wound.

In the end, netizens were very depressed and said that they would have waited until they watched "Fei Yi" before having surgery.

In this regard, netizens said very sympathetically: "Let's wait until the recovery is almost there, I have a normal stomachache that laughs after reading it, not to mention that you just had hernia surgery." ”

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the second day of the film's release, it received a total of 224 million yuan at the box office.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, before the box office on the third day of the film's release, another news related to Li Mu instantly detonated the Chinese Internet.

It turned out that on the same day, that is, at 9:30 p.m. on January 24, 2012, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards officially announced the list of nominees for the 84th Academy Awards.

Among them, "The Revenant", directed by Li Mu himself and starring Tom Hanks, was nominated for 12 awards at the 84th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Cinematography.

You must know that at the 82nd Oscars just two years ago, Li Mu just won many awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, etc., and the media were saying that Li Mu had created an unprecedented miracle, but the result?

It's only been two years, and the "unprecedented" miracle is about to make a comeback?

Some netizens even said in confusion:

"Didn't you say 'The Revenant' was a commercial blockbuster? I don't really like this genre, so I haven't watched it yet, but I seem to have heard that the global box office of this film seems to be as high as 620 million US dollars? Does such a high-grossing film really have a chance to win another Oscar? ”

Some netizens said: "The global box office is already so awesome, if you win the Oscar again, Li Mu will really turn himself into a unique and unique rhythm in China?" ”

Soon, some netizens said: "It's not the rhythm of the only gear, but Li Mu himself has turned himself into the only one in China!" Other domestic directors, no matter who they are, can't be compared with Li Mu, and what can be compared with Li Mu is that there are few in the world. ”

"Oh my god, awe!"

Some netizens couldn't help but sigh.

Let's talk about the box office situation of the film "Non-embarrassing".

"Non-embarrassing" won 233 million yuan at the box office on the first day, 224 million yuan on the second day, and 213 million yuan on the third day.

So far, the film has been released in China for a total of three days, and the cumulative box office has reached 670 million, and the single-day box office has exceeded 200 million for three consecutive days, which is quite appalling.

Director Feng Xiaogang, who is in full swing to shoot the movie "1942", looks at the explosive results of "Non-Embarrassment" with a box office of more than 200 million for three consecutive days, and his heart is inevitably a little mixed.

On the one hand, he is confident in the new film he is shooting, but on the other hand, he feels that his "1942" will most likely not have the results of "Non-embarrassing" today.

It's very uncomfortable.

He has a good relationship with Li Mu, Li Mu's movie exploded at the box office, and he will be happy for Li Mu, but happy is happy, and comparison is still to be compared. Seeing that the box office of Li Mu's movies is getting higher and higher, and his own movies are likely to be unable to catch up, as a director of Feng Xiaogang, who has won many national box office championships, his heart is not so comfortable after all.

Compared with the shock and sluggishness shown by other domestic directors when they watched the box office results of "Fei Yi", ordinary audiences in China have already entered carnival mode.

"The box office of 670 million in the first three days is nearly 100 million US dollars! "Non-embarrassing" seems to have been the world premiere box office champion just by relying on the domestic market, right? I remember that "Inception" was so good back then, and the North American box office in the first three days of the first weekend was only $87 million, and now "Non-Embarrassment" relies on nearly 100 million US dollars in China alone! Why do you suddenly feel that our mainland film market is about to have the ability to compete with the North American film market? ”

"I'm grass, is it so awesome?"

"Awesome is awesome, but it's a pity that those who can get this result in China are basically 'Li Mu films', not that the Chinese film market can wrestle with the North American market, but the Chinese film market with Li Mu is about to be able to wrestle with the North American market."
