sent Jiang Shuying away, and after another day, Li Mu finally saw Zhang Tianai's information on the desk, and the year of birth said 1988.

There are multiple versions of the statement about Zhang Tianai's birth year in later generations - 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, and later because there were too many doubts, the encyclopedia simply did not write the age.

In 2020, there was a character interview show in China, and the program team invited a girl named Gao Weixuan, who once played a trick with Zhang Tianai in "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and Zhang Tianai also served as Gong Li's lighting stand-in at that time.

In the video materials played by the program team, director Zhang Yimou also used Zhang Tianai's example to encourage another lighting stuntman, Zhang Yimou said: "At that time, she (referring to Zhang Tianai) was also seventeen or eighteen years old."

"The City Full of Golden Armor" was filmed in 2006, and if Zhang Tianai was seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, she should have been born in 1988 or 1989.

Back to the topic, Li Mu pulled out Zhang Tianai's information and handed it to the assistant Liang Bing: "Take this information to Director Chen Zhixi, and say that I am optimistic about this girl playing the heroine of the crown princess, and let Director Chen arrange an audition for this girl." ”

"Okay."

Li Mu himself is no longer seen Zhang Tianai, the investment in "The Crown Princess" is less than 20 million, Zhang Tianai is just a trick actor, Li Mu really has no need to meet in person, and now his main energy is on the new movie "Send You a Little Red Flower".

Although the title of the movie uses the name of "Send You a Little Red Flower", Li Mu does not plan to really copy the little red flower starring Yi Yang Qianxi, and the reason why he still named this name is actually more to make a distinction from "The Fault in the Stars", so as not to mistake the two movies for one movie.

The main plot of Li Mu's version of "Send You a Little Red Flower" will still follow the plot of "The Fault in the Stars", but the details, especially the finale, will be significantly different from the European and American versions of "The Fault in the Stars".

"Fault in the Stars" is about the love story of two young cancer patients.

The heroine is a girl who has suffered from cancer since she was a child, and her life is about to come to an end in the torment of cancer and fluid accumulation in her lungs, but a new drug miraculously saved her life, but since then, she has to go to the hospital every week for reexamination, and she has to take a lot of drugs every day, but there is still a possibility of recurrence.

Lesions in her lungs made it difficult for her to breathe, and oxygen cylinders and tubes became her daily routine. She became depressed and had no interest in anything until she met the male protagonist, a boy who also had cancer and had his leg amputated because of it, but he was still extremely optimistic and cheerful.

In daily contact, the female protagonist began to open her heart to the male protagonist, and her originally gray world began to become colorful. The female protagonist recommends her favorite book to the male protagonist - "Solemn Sorrow", which tells the story of an extremely real girl with cancer.

Unfortunately, the book came to an abrupt halt halfway through, and they emailed the author to ask about the heroine's final ending, but they were unexpectedly replied, and the writer invited them to Amsterdam to narrate in person.

The male and female protagonists went through some twists and turns, and finally came to the author's house, only to learn that it was the author's assistant who sent an email to the two in the author's name, and what they didn't know was that the little girl in the author's book was actually his biological daughter.

Since the death of his daughter, the author has become extremely decadent, and the author's assistant hopes that the arrival of the two will help the author untie the knot.

The author didn't give the two of them any good faces, and the heroine plucked up the courage to ask about the ending of the girl in the book, and the author told a plausible story, and then rudely kicked the two out of the house.

The trip to Amsterdam made the relationship between the two heat up quickly, and after returning to China, the male protagonist told the female protagonist a thing he had been hiding for a long time, in fact, his cancer had recurred long before he went to Amsterdam, and the two may soon be goodbye, the female protagonist is in pain, but the male protagonist is still positive and optimistic.

In order to allow the female protagonist to face death optimistically, the male protagonist decided to hold a funeral for himself in advance, and hoped to hear the eulogy prepared for him by the female protagonist before he died.

The most touching content of the whole film is the eulogy prepared by the male and female protagonists respectively, and the saddest thing is that the male protagonist finally lost his young life by cancer.

The original work of "The Fault in the Stars" sold tens of millions of copies in North America, and it made countless European and American teenagers cry tears because of it, Li Mu's English version completely respects the original work, but when it was the turn of the domestic version, he had some different ideas.

Sending you a little red flower in a little red flower itself is hopeful, and Li Mu plans to prepare a new ending for the male and female protagonists in the Chinese version.

In 2021, articles and short videos related to "1.2 million yuan of anti-cancer drugs for one injection, one injection can cure cancer" circulated on the Internet and swiped wildly, causing heated discussions. The sky-high price of the drug mentioned here is the CAR-T therapy, and in June 2021, the first CAR-T injection was officially approved for marketing in China.

Although CAR-T therapy was only launched in China in 2021, 2017 was actually the first year of CAR-T cell therapy!

As early as 2012, the therapy was already being studied in the United States.

In 2022, there is a report on the Internet - millions of injections of CAR-T therapy: the first patient has been cancer-free for 10 years!

It happens to be 2012 now, and at this time, the first clinical trial of this new anti-cancer therapy should have begun, so Li Mu thought, in the Chinese version, most of the previous plots can be roughly the same in the American version, and the male and female protagonists also went to Amsterdam to meet the author of "Solemn Sorrow", and after returning to China, the male protagonist told the female protagonist that his cancer had recurred, and the two were about to say goodbye.

Both the male and female protagonists also wrote touching eulogies for each other in advance, but the difference is that at the end, the author in Amsterdam found the male protagonist and told him that the United States was conducting clinical trials of CAR-T therapy and was recruiting volunteers.

It can be assumed that the author used a similar statement to encourage her daughter, telling her that as long as she persevered, she would be able to wait for a new treatment that would be effective and could cure her, but unfortunately the writer's daughter did not wait for this day after all.

So when the writer learned about this new therapy, while he felt sorry for his daughter, he also thought of the male protagonist for the first time.

In short, Li Mu's plan is that "The Fault in the Stars" is for the global market, and the ending follows the ending of the original book, and the male protagonist finally died of cancer.

In the Chinese version of "Send You a Little Red Flower", Li Mu plans to let the male protagonist survive.

And the reason why he wants to do this is actually for two reasons, one is that he really doesn't like tragedy, and the other is that the Chinese version will have him and Liu Yifei as the male and female protagonists respectively, and he doesn't like to play a dead man.

As for whether the ending will increase or decrease the box office after the ending is changed to non-tragedy, Li Mu can't care about it, and he is not short of this money, the main thing is to act comfortably.

……

The other side.

Zhang Tianai received a call from Huashang staff in the rental house, who invited her to meet with Huashang at the location of Huashang the next day.

Zhang Tianai is naturally happy to go, in fact, people like her in the circle are willing to play tricks in Huashang's crew, and Huashang's eclectic employment is well-known in the circle.

Song Ji, although he was born in a professional class, he could only play some tricks at the beginning, but he met Li Mu.

Tong Liya, at the beginning, she also acted for a long time, but do you look at her now?

There is also Jin Chen, who is also from a dragon suit, but after being favored by Huashang, he first played the supporting actress in "20 Years Old Again", and I heard that she is now confirmed to be the heroine of a new Huashang film.

There are so many living examples in front of them, so that all the actors in the circle who still have some ideals are very willing to take on Huashang's plays, even if it is just some roles.

However, Zhang Tianai didn't have much hope, there is indeed a possibility that he will be favored by Hua Shang as a dragon, but who dares to say that this kind of thing will be caught up by himself?

But when she really came to Huashang, she was immediately confused by one thing after another that was completely different from what she thought.

First of all, as a trick, she was received by Vice President Liu Siying of Huashang and producer Chen Zhixi.

Secondly, as a trick, she was asked to try a large number of lines that seemed to be quite important, and it seemed that the role she played was still a "crown princess"?

What's the name of this play?

"The Promotion of the Crown Princess"!

So Hua Shang put on such a big battle not to let her play the heroine of this drama, right?

Is it possible?

It's possible!

After the audition, Huashang gold medal producer Chen Zhixi directly told her that Huashang would officially invite her to be the heroine of the new drama "The Promotion of the Crown Princess".

"Director Chen, thank you and Mr. Liu for giving me this opportunity, your trust in me, I will never forget it, I will play the role seriously, and I will never let you and Mr. Liu down."

After Liu Siying left first, Zhang Tianai hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Chen Zhixi.

Chen Zhixi smiled: "You are beautiful and talented, no wonder Li will always be optimistic about you." ”

When he left Huashang, Zhang Tianai's mind was full of Chen Zhixi's last words: "You are beautiful and talented, no wonder Li will always be optimistic about you." ”

"Mr. Li is optimistic about me?"

……

On August 21, the premiere of "Fast Pursuit" was held in Beijing, and Li Mu did not go to the premiere ceremony, because just a few days ago, "Send You a Little Red Flower" was officially launched.

Some surprises are that Wang Baoqiang and Hong Jinbao made a special trip to Beijing to cheer for Wu Jing, during which Bao Qiang and Wu Jing hooked shoulders, Wu Jing envied Bao Qiang's popular movies one after another, and Bao Qiang envied Wu Jing for being able to act in the action movies he wanted.

Wu Jing has great respect for Hong Jinbao, and Hong Jinbao is also very optimistic about Wu Jing.

Backstage, Hong Jinbao patted Wu Jing on the shoulder and said: "I originally thought that there would be no more kung fu superstars in the future, not because later people can't fight, but because the times have changed, but now my thoughts have changed, you can play, Mr. Li's vision of watching movies is the first in the world, he signed you to his Huashang, and also arranged for you to act in action movies, if Mr. Li is also very optimistic about your action movies, then you have hope, and there is still hope for action movies." ”

"Then I'll borrow the words of the eldest brother!"

After the final viewing session, Hong Jinbao couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy for this movie to pass the trial, right?" ”

Wu Jing also sighed: "Compared with the English version, there are still some cuts, and there was indeed a certain amount of controversy when it passed the review, but then it was confused again." ”

On August 24, "Fast Pursuit" was officially released worldwide.

"Fast Pursuit" is a rather simple and crude movie, the male protagonist Leng Han is a Chinese retired killer living in the United States, one day the son of the gang took a fancy to one of his classic cars, so he knocked the male protagonist unconscious, stole the male protagonist's car, and even killed the male protagonist's deceased wife left his dog.

And so a hearty killing began.

As soon as the film was released, it immediately gained a large number of fans, especially young audiences, who were full of praise for the film.

At noon that day, various evaluations about the film had spread all over the Internet.

"Surprise, simple and rough enough, cool and it's over!"

"Don't touch Wu Jing's dog, otherwise the king of heaven will not be able to save you, Leng Han said!"

"You kill my dog, I kill your whole family! The surprise comes from two aspects, one is that the film is really cool enough, and the other is that the release of this kind of movie is already a victory in itself! ”

"Optimistic about Wu Jing, it will depend on him to revive Chinese action movies in the future!"

"That's right, the rhythm of the action is comparable to Director Li Mu's masterpiece "Hurricane Rescue", I heard that the investment is only more than 10 million US dollars, which is a small investment in B-grade films, the investment is not as good as "Hurricane Rescue", the plot is weaker than "Hurricane Rescue", Wu Jing's fame is far weaker than that of Brother Cheng Long - conclusion, Li Mu is this really top chef, what kind of ingredients you give him, he can make you a table of delicious!"

……

The domestic box office of "Fast Pursuit" was 55.2 million on the premiere day, 63.25 million the next day, and 71.7 million on the third day.

Although the film looks very enjoyable, the plot is still weak, and the audience is relatively limited, not as wide as comedy movies, at least parents will not like to take their children to watch this kind of film.

However, the global audience of such films is significantly stronger than that of Chinese comedies such as the "Embarrassment Series".

The embarrassing series of films killed all over the country and had a wide audience, but as soon as they arrived abroad, they were immediately dumb, and the overseas box office looked very pitiful.

But "Rush Pursuit" is different, its killing, revenge, and hearty fights, and extremely chic action design, which are very popular all over the world.

In the end, in the first three days of its opening weekend in North America, it grossed a total of $21.7 million.

This achievement is naturally incomparable with Li Mu's previous films, first of all, its investment is there, only more than 10 million US dollars, and the starring role of the film is almost not famous in the United States, and it is already quite good to win more than 21 million box office in three days.

It's already pretty good.

On August 24th, there are no heavyweight films in North America, and there are only two new films, one is Huashang's "Fast Pursuit", and the other is "Deadly Express" produced by Sony, the theme is similar to "Fast Pursuit", both are low-budget action movies, but the box office performance of the two films is completely different.

"Rapid Pursuit" had 21.7 million in the first weekend, but "Deadly Express" only had 6.3 million.

By the way, "Rush Hunt" won this week's North American box office championship with a box office of 21.7 million!

That's right, this small-budget action movie actually beat the $13.5 million weekend of "The Expendables 2", which has been in theaters for two weeks, and the $9.3 million box office of "Mission Impossible 4", which has been in theaters for three weeks, and became the North American box office champion this week!

Although the first-week box office against the two-week box office of "The Expendables 2" and the three-week box office of "Mission Impossible 4" seems to be a win, although the weekend box office of $21.7 million is indeed not high, you must know that the weekend box office of "The Hunger Games" is $188 million, but the weekend box office champion is the weekend box office champion!

In short, Wu Jing's first film after signing with Huashang Media was the North American weekend box office champion, and it was still the champion of "The Expendables 2" starring Stallone, Jason Statham, Li Lianlian and other big names!

This moment is actually insignificant for Li Mu and Hua Shang, but for Wu Jing, this is undoubtedly a huge surprise!
