A restaurant.

Li Mu, Cheng Long, and Liu Yifei chatted while eating.

Liu went to the bathroom, and Cheng Long asked about Li Muxin's TV series.

In Cheng Long's opinion, it is very incredible that Li Mu's next drama turned out to be a TV series.

"The Demon Thieves" had a global box office of 1.782 billion in five days, how much benefit is this? From the project, investment, casting, shooting, to publicity and distribution of the film, how many companies are involved? How many people?

"The Demon Thieves" is starring Cheng Long himself, but he still has to say that "The Demon Thieves" is at most a small case in Li Mu's films, and the previous "Frozen" is the main meal!

The global box office of a drama is 1.744 billion, which is still US dollars, which is almost 12 billion yuan!

Counting the peripheral sales of the film, it is even more terrifying, as of now, the peripheral sales of "Frozen" have reached 5 billion US dollars, that is, 34 billion yuan!

A movie involves nearly 50 billion output value?

Who would have dared to think before Frozen?

Before the official release of the film, if anyone said that this movie could have this result, there was a high probability that it would be sprayed to death, the cartoon made by the director of Huaxia sold 34 billion around it, why don't you say that it sold 340 billion? No one will believe it!

However, this is actually happening in reality.

"Frozen" scared the entire domestic industry to death, and when the $150 million investment of "Interstellar" is released in the future, there is a high probability that it will be scared to death again.

Such a big interest involves all aspects of personnel and companies - Huashang, China Film, Huaxia, Light Limited, Bernard, Western Film, Yindu, Disney, how many people are waiting for Li Mu's movie to start eating, but you are good, after "Interstellar", you turned around and went to shoot a TV series!

Huashang's TV series are indeed very popular, and they can indeed make money, but basically there is nothing to do with the companies mentioned above, TV series and movies are completely two ways to play.

Most of the industry is waiting for Li Mu to start making movies and eating meat, but when you go to shoot a TV series, the stakeholders involved will definitely persuade Li Mu not to waste the main business of movies.

Cheng Long knows that he can't completely ignore the interests of all parties in the industry, so he will be very surprised that Li Mu will shoot a TV series.

Li Mu turned his head and glanced in the direction of the bathroom, and said, "Uncle Long, the name of my next TV series is "Let's Get Married". ”

Cheng Long quickly reacted: "Do you plan to start a family after this play?" ”

Li Mu nodded: "Yifei and I are both big bosses." ”

Cheng Long stretched out his hand and patted Li Mu on the shoulder: "Okay, congratulations, remember to send me an invitation when you get married, I will definitely arrive." ”

Li Mu was in a good mood: "Do you need to say this?" Even if you don't invite anyone, you can't invite Uncle Long! ”

Cheng Long was also in a good mood: "Okay, I have to arrive whether you send an invitation or not, the whole country knows that the two of us have a great relationship, but what does Cheng Long look like if you get married?" ”

Li Mu suddenly thought of something: "Uncle Long, don't talk to me about this, I'm still thinking about making a surprise." ”

Cheng Long patted his chest: "Don't worry, I will definitely not get out." ”

……

Toilet.

The excitement in the voices of the two white girls was already overflowing.

"Am I right? Is that one on the outside Cheng Long? ”

"It must be, and eighty percent of the people on the other side are director Li Mu!"

"Li Mu?"

"Hmm!"

"Ah......h

The two girls were so excited that they screamed,

At present, Li Mu's fame in North America is still very big, and he is obviously a director, but he is quite a bit of a North American idol.

"Wait......" one of the girls suddenly thought of something, "The young one just now, okay, just assume that he is Li Mu, did he say that he is proposing?" ”

"Yes, I heard it too, he also asked Cheng Long to keep it a secret, saying that he wanted to surprise his girlfriend."

"Ah......h

The two girls screamed again.

"Wait a minute...... another girl had a flash of inspiration in her mind, "Li Mu's girlfriend is Liu Yifei, that is to say...... Liu Yifei is getting married? ”

"Yes......" the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can we make a lot of money by selling the news to the newspaper?" ”

The other girl looked happy at first, and then returned to normal: "Did you just record?" ”

"Nope!"

"Neither do I, so, which tabloid would believe us?"

……

The two white girls left, and the door of one of the toilets inside suddenly slammed open, and Liu Yifei came out of it in a trance.

"Did he finally propose?"

"When?"

"Tonight...... Or tomorrow night? ”

"What if I go back to the restaurant in a moment and he immediately pulls out the diamond ring box and proposes on one knee? Do you want to say yes to her directly? ”

"Yes, Brother Cheng Long is the witness he specially invited!"

"Whew!"

"I hate it to death, so suddenly, and I'm not afraid to scare me."

"After a while, I nodded in agreement with a look of surprise on my face, or did I pretend to be surprised? Do you want to cover your mouth with your hands? Left or right? Shouldn't I shed a few happy tears? Damn, what if there were no tears? ”

Liu Yifei walked back and forth in the bathroom several times before finally taking a deep breath and walking to the restaurant outside.

"Why did you go for so long, and where is it uncomfortable?" Li Mu asked after helping Liu Yifei pull out the chair.

"Huh? No. Liu Yifei sat down with an unnatural expression.

Li Mu suddenly possessed with a gentlemanly demeanor: "I'll help you cut the steak!" ”

"Smack!"

Liu Yifei made an unexpected move, the fork in Li Mu's hand fell to the ground, Li Mu immediately squatted down and bent down to pick it up, and then Liu Yifei's heart suddenly raced.

Li Mu squatted down, right in front of her, what was he going to do?

My heart was beating to my throat.

"Waiter!" After waiting for someone to come over, Li Mu smiled and said, "Please change the set of utensils." ”

"Whew!" Liu Yifei took a deep breath, and even his face turned red at this moment.

"A false alarm, does he want to go back to China and propose again? Yes, it must be so, if he still shoots me back home, then I will - bite him to death! ”

In the evening, Li Mu inexplicably suspected that the coffee in the restaurant was drugged, otherwise Liu Yifei blushed inexplicably at dinner, and became inexplicably excited after returning to the room, Li Mu, who was tossing, was even a little unbearable, and he didn't know what kind of nerves this little hoof had tonight, this is not yet thirty years old, and there is a tendency to develop in the direction of a wolf and a tiger.

……

Pull back and continue to talk about the box office situation of "Demon Thieves".

In fact, five days before the release of the film, after the global box office of 1.782 billion came out, everyone already had a rough judgment on the final results of "Demon Thieves", which will obviously be a film with a global box office of 4 billion, of course, the RMB box office is talking about, if you count the US dollar, it is estimated that there will be about 600 million.

Specific to the mainland box office, there are still five days before the end of the National Day holiday, and Li Mu hopes that the mainland box office can break through the 1.5 billion mark in these five days.

If you want to accomplish this goal, it is naturally inseparable from the hard work of the actors in China, according to Liu Siying, the actors who stayed in China have started a large-scale roadshow journey in two ways, from first-tier cities to second- and third-tier cities, and several actors are busy flying.

However, Liu Siying said that if Li Mu, Liu Yifei and Cheng Long can return to China to participate in the roadshow, it will definitely be no problem to hit the box office of 1.5 billion within ten days.

Li Mu was right to think about it, anyway, the North American premiere has already been held, so what are they still doing here? Obviously, the box office performance of North America is not as good as that of the mainland, why don't you hurry back to China to promote it?

said that he would leave, and the next day Li Mu and the others took the plane back to China.

It's too late to take a good rest when I return to China, so I immediately raced against time to devote myself to the roadshow promotion of "Demon Thieves".

During the roadshow, Li Mu and Liu Yifei's relationship was naturally the focus of the whole question, when asked when the two would get married, of course Li Mu would not tell the truth, he wanted to give Liu Yifei a surprise surprise.

"I'll let you know when the two of us get our certificates."

Li Mu's answer was decent, and Liu Yifei stood next to him and laughed when he answered, and after the relevant video was circulated on the Internet, many Liu Yifei's fans were a little upset about their idols.

It seems that Li Mu is obviously going to drag it out and not get married, but Liu Yifei is still next to him, and he is a little unsure whether Li Mu is sincere or not, but Liu Yifei is definitely true when he falls into it, which can be seen through from the way she looks at Li Mu.

"I hope Li Mu won't hurt him in the future, otherwise I will scold him on the Internet no matter how much I like him!"

With the progress of large-scale roadshow activities and the continuous fermentation of movie word-of-mouth, the box office performance of "Demon Thieves" during the five-day holiday after the National Day is still very eye-catching.

On the sixth day of its release and the third day of the National Day holiday, "The Demon Thieves" won a total of 172 million box office.

169 million on the seventh day of release.

131 million on the eighth day of release.

114 million on the ninth day of release.

On the tenth day of its release, that is, the last day of the National Day holiday, "Demon Thieves" earned a total of 93 million box office on this day.

From the sixth to the tenth day, a total of 679 million yuan was earned, plus the box office from the first to the fifth day of the release, so far the domestic release of the film has been ten days in total, and the cumulative box office has reached 1.631 billion yuan, exceeding the target of 1.5 billion yuan in the domestic box office in ten days.

The domestic box office broke 1.5 billion, and the crew held a grand celebration party in Beijing, and many people at the banquet drank high.

Maybe everyone is just a small role in the crew, maybe "Demon Thieves" is extremely bright even if it looks at the world, and he will still be an unknown little actor after today, but even so, it is still a very commemorative thing to be able to celebrate with everyone tonight.

Zhang Songwen looked at the extremely excited crowd in front of him with a wine glass, and couldn't help but think: "It's good to be able to cooperate with Director Li!" ”

Pull back and continue to talk about the overseas box office.

After grossing $37.9 million in its opening weekend in North America, "The Rogues" grossed $3.96 million, $3.71 million, $3.27 million and $3.16 million from Monday to Thursday, for a total of $14.1 million over four days.

Then it was the weekend.

Compared with Thursday, this week's Friday box office ushered in a wave of surge, reaching $7.06 million.

Then the box office continued to rise on Saturday, reaching 8.73 million.

Sunday's box office fell slightly, but it was also $6.24 million.

As a result, the cumulative box office of "Rogues" in North America in the second week weekend was $22.03 million, ranking second this week.

The champion is Sony's new film "Captain Philip", which costs $26 million over three days over the weekend, and the actor is Li Mu's old friend Tom Hanks.

The third, unsurprisingly, is definitely "Falling from the Sky 2", $14.2 million.

3790 in the first weekend of North America, $14.1 million for four days on weekdays, and $22.03 million for the next weekend, so far the North American release of "Bandits" is a total of ten days, and the cumulative box office in North America is $74.03 million.

In addition to North America and the mainland, "Rogue Bandits" also performed well in France, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Australia, Spain and other countries, with a cumulative box office of $156.4 million, plus the North American part, so far the film has been released worldwide for ten days, with a total overseas box office of $229 million.

Converted into RMB, it is 1.56 billion, plus the current mainland box office of 1.631 billion.

In other words, it has only been ten days since the global release of "Demon Thieves", and its global cumulative box office has reached 3.191 billion yuan.

Ten days, over 3.1 billion!

After the news announcement was released, the domestic entertainment industry entered a daily shock stage.

Director Zhang Yimou: "Li Mu's contribution to Huaxia films is probably much higher than many people think, there was no such person in Huaxia Film before, and it will be difficult to produce such a person in the future, now everyone only thinks that Li Mu is a very powerful director around him, but he doesn't realize that Li Mu's name will appear in various works in later generations." ”

Han Han: "Many directors compare themselves with Li Mu, and then conclude that Li Mu's movie box office is how many times that of their own, the reality is not like this, the distance between everyone and Director Li Mu is like the distance between a Tang Dynasty poet and Li Bai Dufu who did not have a poem selected for "All Tang Poems". ”

Director Chen Kaige: "Li Mu's commercialization is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, his works will always serve the blockbuster, and he will always figure out the audience's preferences, you can hardly believe that an author who wrote "The Moon" then wrote "The Hunger Games", Li Mu's works are very profitable, but he is not happy, because what he writes is not what he wants to write. ”

Director Feng Xiaogang: "3.1 billion in ten days - it's 3.1 billion, right?" is very powerful, other directors can't reach it, the current Chinese film is the era of Li Mu and his Huashang, it will still be for a long time in the future, but it will not be forever, everyone is from this stage of near-invincibility. ”

User Comments:

"Forget about other people's evaluations, although Director Feng Xiaogang is suspected of boasting, he has indeed been almost invincible before, and Chinese movies have had a period of Feng's comedy dominance, which is Director Feng's highlight moment, and it's nothing to mention. Only Director Chen's evaluation made people can't hold back - 'It's hard to believe that the person who wrote "The Moon" wrote "The Hunger Games" again? In fact, what netizens even harder to believe is that the director who filmed "Farewell My Concubine" made another "Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" with his backhand! ”

After the global box office broke the 3 billion mark, everyone is guessing how long it will take for "Magic Thieves" to break through the 4 billion mark.

During the release of "Demon Thieves", in addition to cooperating with the promotion of the movie, Li Mu and Liu Yifei were also in full swing arranging the start of "Let's Get Married".

This modern urban romance drama Huashang Media has been brewing for a long time, and most of the cast has already been decided.

First of all, the actor must be played by Li Mu, and the heroine star fruit is needless to say, it must be Liu Yifei.

In addition, sure enough, the father and mother, as well as the mother of star fruit, remain unchanged, and they still use the original cast of the original time and space to play.

The remaining Duan Xifeng's wife and star fruit's cousin Su Qing, the role of the original time and space was played by Wang Tong, that is, the actor who played Liang Zhiyuan's wife Qin Mei in the TV series "Years".

Wang Tong looks average, but her acting skills are good, and there was no problem at all in continuing to use her to act, but Li Mu finally invited Gao Yuanyuan.

"Let's Get Married" was originally Gao Yuanyuan's drama, but this time and space was occupied by Li Mu in advance, and now Li Mu inexplicably feels that arranging another role for Gao Yuanyuan in the play is actually quite interesting.

It is said that Liu Yan was so excited that he didn't sleep all night when he received the invitation to audition, but the next day he was in a very bad state, and he made frequent mistakes during the audition, and finally almost cried, but in the end he passed the audition without danger.

In addition, there is a character named Xu Guangmei, who is the ex-girlfriend of Sure Ran, and the actor of this role in the original time and space is Zhou Yang, that is, the actor of the Three Virgins Yang Chan in "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern".

Zhou Yang's appearance condition is actually good, and there is a mole on his forehead, which is very recognizable, but unfortunately he later piled too much technology and hard work on his face, and finally succeeded in destroying a face that grew on Li Mu's aesthetic point.

Zhou Yang is not an artist of Huashang, there are so many actresses under Huashang, there is no need to use her, and finally Li Mu arranged for Bai Bing to make a cameo appearance in this Xu Guangmei.

The actors have been decided, the production team is ready-made, and the director is Li Mu himself, so far "Let's Get Married" can be started at any time.

……

Li Mu felt that Liu Yifei might have been a little snake spirit recently, once when he went out, Li Mu saw that her shoelaces were loose, so he kindly squatted down to help her tie them, but when she looked up, she saw her covering her mouth with her hands, and the corners of her eyes were foggy, and she looked at Li Mu with a look of surprise and emotion, knowing that Li Mu was helping her tie her shoes, I didn't know that I thought he was proposing to her.

"I said, just tie your shoes, don't be so moved, right?"

"Huh? Well! At that time, Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment and replied.
