In the restaurant, in the box, Li Mu, Liu Yifei, Liu Siying, Chen Zhixi and others chatted while eating.

Chen Zhixi first praised the rich imagination of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and then recommended: "Our own Wang Kai and Lei Jiayin, it is not a big problem to play Hu Bayi. ”

"What does Zhang Muye mean?" Li Mu asked.

Chen Zhixi replied: "He is more inclined to Liu Ye. ”

Liu Siying interjected: "Liu Ye may indeed be suitable, but it's a pity that he is not our own artist." ”

Li Mu said: "If the role is indeed very suitable, whether it is your own artist is secondary, but this time you also need to consider the continuity of shooting." ”

"Continuity?"

Li Mu nodded: "Liu Ye, Chen Kun, and Jin Dong and others are all good in my opinion, let's shoot "Looking for the Dragon" this time, most of these three people can also be invited, but in addition to the movie, I also want to make the IP of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into a series of TV series, and it is best not to always change people to make the audience readapt." ”

Chen Zhi regretted: "There are five parts in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, and with Liu Ye and Chen Kun's coffee positions, they can sign contracts for one movie and five TV series in one go, which is indeed not very attractive. ”

At this time, Liu Siying interjected: "It's not five TV series, with the theme of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", we must be mentally prepared for not being able to go to the stars. ”

Li Mu glanced at Liu Siying with appreciation: "Siying is right, the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series must be prepared according to the standards of star dramas, but at the same time, we must also be mentally prepared to be downgraded to an online drama. ”

Chen Zhi regretted: "Jin Dong should countersign the contract of one movie and five TV series in Huashang, but there is not much difference between Jin Dong and Wang Kai, Jin Dong can act, and Wang Kai will most likely be able to act." ”

Li Mu nodded: "Actually, there is another candidate in my heart, and that is Pan Yueming." ”

Liu Siying and Chen Zhixi both frowned.

Pan Yueming is definitely willing to sign a contract, now in addition to Huashang Media, how many crews are willing to use him? Huashang is not only willing to use him, but the importance of the role is becoming more and more important, from "Detective Chinatown" to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it seems that Chairman Li Mu really values this person, but can he really play Hu Bayi well?

Next, several people began to discuss Shirley Young's candidate.

According to the setting in the book, Shirley Yang should have a certain Western ancestry, and if this is the standard, it seems that Li Meiqi and Lu Jingshan are very suitable, but with Li Meiqi's coffee position and circle, Li Mu must have no problem asking her to play "Looking for the Dragon", in fact, the reason why Li Meiqi was able to play the role of Tori in "The Divergent" was because of Li Mu's recommendation, although Li Mu sold this series, he was the original author after all.

The relationship between the two is good, but it is still the problem above, Li Mu will not change people from movies to online dramas this time.

As for Lu Jingshan, she can be described as unknown in this meeting, if Hua Shang invited her, it would be almost impossible for her to disagree, she could be regarded as one of the candidates.

In the previous life, Zhang Yuqi's version of Li Mu's senses was not bad, maybe it felt almost when I first watched it, but after watching a few more episodes, especially after watching it, I will feel that it is actually not bad, but her voice makes people a little dramatic, but it is not without a solution, the simplest, just find someone to dub her, and she is also one of the candidates.

Shu Qi's version seems to be able to be watched, but with her coffee position, there is no problem in acting in movies, acting in TV series, or even online dramas, it is estimated that it will be difficult, and Li Lianhua is the same.

Speaking of the candidate for Wang Fatzi, Li Mu felt that Zhao A in "Exquisite Ancient City" was the best, but the disadvantage was that his figure was almost meaningless and not fat enough, but Chen Zhixi interjected and said that the body problem would not be a problem.

"The contract of one film and five dramas in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, the production team of Huashang, Zhao Da will understand the truth of rare opportunities."

Li Mu nodded, so that Wang Kaixuan's candidate would also be decided.

The big golden tooth is also a very important role, Xia Yu's version in the previous life was good, but with Xia Yu's coffee personality, let him sign five online dramas directly, which doesn't seem to be very attractive to him, in addition, Yue Yang's big golden tooth in "Exquisite Ancient City" is also good, and the contract of one film and five dramas should be quite attractive to him, as for Tong Lei's version of the big golden tooth, to be honest, Li Mu can't appreciate it a little.

The villain Sister Hong in the original version of "Looking for the Dragon" is played by Liu Xiaoqing, but Li Mu really can't appreciate her, so he directly asked Mr. Lu Zhen, that is, the actor of Wu Zetian in "Detective Di Renjie".

"What about Ding Sitian?" Chen Zhixi asked.

Li Mu replied: "Although we have to take into account the casting of online dramas, we can't all be actors who don't have enough coffee positions, so I think I'll let Tong Liya try it." ”

Ding Sitian in the original version of "Looking for the Dragon" is played by Yang Ying, and now Yang Ying is not a signed artist of Huashang, and it does not have any irreplaceability, so Li Mu almost inevitably has to replace her, thinking that Tong Liya's military uniform style in "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is not bad, so Li Mu tends to use Tong Liya.

Chen Zhixi nodded when he heard this.

After half a meal, in addition to the undecided Shirley Yang of the main actors of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, Professor Chen is left undecided, Li Mu felt that Yang Xinming in "Exquisite Ancient City" was good, so he casually decided.

At this point, the main actors of "Looking for the Dragon" are basically finalized:

Pan Yueming as Hu Bayi.

Zhang Yuqi or Lu Jingshan as Shirley Yang.

Zhao A as Wang Kaixuan.

Tong Liya as Ding Sitian.

Yue Yang as a big gold tooth.

Yang Xinming as Professor Chen.

Lu Zhen as Sister Hong.

Chen Zhi said: "I will contact one by one tomorrow." ”

Li Mu nodded.

Immediately, several people talked about the "Shocking Demon Thieves Group" that was being screened, and then whether it was Liu Siying or Chen Zhixi, they all became radiant in an instant.

Ten days after the film's release, the domestic box office reached 1.631 billion, and another six days passed in a blink of an eye.

Among them, from Tuesday to Friday, the daily box office of "Demon Thieves" basically fluctuated between 40 million and 50 million, and a total of 184 million yuan was harvested in four days. Then the box office rebounded on Saturday, with a daily box office of 93 million yuan, a slight drop on Sunday, but also 82 million yuan, and the film received a total of 359 million yuan in China from Tuesday to Sunday, and the domestic box office of the film has been 1.99 billion yuan since its release.

On the sixteenth day of its full release, the domestic box office of "The Demon Thieves" was only 10 million to break the 2 billion mark, whether it was Liu Siying or Chen Zhixi, almost no one would have thought that "The Demon Thieves" would have this result.

Chen Zhixi looked at Liu Yifei and said with a smile: "Yifei's appeal is no one, the "Hurricane Rescue" series, the "Hunger Games" series, and now the "Shocking Demon Thieves" series, now it is looking at the world, and it is not easy to find this kind of box office appeal, and it is not easy to find it with a lantern." ”

Liu Yifei immediately blushed: "Sister Zhixi, don't make fun of me, I'm blushing." ”

As he spoke, he covered his face with his hand, causing the whole private room to laugh.

……

As of this Sunday, the box office of "Shendu Dragon King", which was released at the same time as "Demon Thieves", officially exceeded 800 million yuan, which is less than half of the domestic box office of "Demon Thieves", but even so, the box office of "Shendu Dragon King" is remarkable, which can be seen from the big celebrations of fans of Feng Shaofeng and Yang Ying and other main actors.

It seems that "Shendu Dragon King" has a chance to break through the 1 billion yuan mark, and its fans can't help but be excited when they hear the news.

"Yes, Mr. Xu really didn't disappoint me, and the box office of 1 billion should be stable!"

"Who said before that Baby has no acting skills? Come and watch "Shendu Dragon King" and see if you slapped yourself in the face? ”

"There is a chance to break the 1 billion mark? I didn't expect that! ”

"Super level performance, box office performance is proof!"

At the same time, Li Mu or Liu Yifei fans are also discussing the box office situation as of this week, but in stark contrast to "Shendu Dragon King", the fans of "Demon Thieves" are mostly dissatisfied.

"As of this week's 1.99 billion? Shame on you! It's 10 million and not 2 billion! ”

"Last week, I vowed that I would break 2 billion that week, and the result was really competitive, just 10 million didn't make me happy."

"This week, from Tuesday to Thursday in North America, a total of more than 7 million US dollars, and a total of 13 million US dollars on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, is the runner-up in North America again! Now the North American box office of "Demon Thieves" is 94 million US dollars, and the total overseas box office is 283 million US dollars, which is a little more than 1.9 billion yuan, and the two are added together, and the total global box office of "Amazing Demon Thieves" is 3.914 billion yuan, almost failing to break 4 billion. ”

"The domestic did not break 2 billion, regret, the overseas did not break 2 billion, regret plus one! The total global box office did not break 4 billion, and it is a pity to add two! ”

"Same regret!"

"Is Li Mu okay? Just a little bit of a leak? ”

"Stunned! The white blind Qianqian was so good to him, but he couldn't even break 2 billion at home and abroad and 4 billion globally in 16 days, pull his hips! ”

"Pull the crotch plus one!"

"Pull the crotch plus 10086!"

For a while, similar remarks abound on the Internet, and as a result, when other netizens, especially fans of "Shendu Dragon King", saw similar remarks, most of them exploded immediately, how do you say that feeling? It's "I've never seen anyone so brazen!" ”

"! Are Liu Yifei and Li Mu still fans? Regretful? Crotch pulling? ”

"Sixteen days, the domestic box office has not broken 2 billion, Li Mu is an indisputable corrugated? I now officially advise everyone to stay away from the fans of Li Mu and Liu Yifei, otherwise I am afraid that I will be injured by mistake when I am struck by lightning, because as the old saying goes, pretend to be struck by lightning! ”

", that's too good! "Shendu Dragon King" is celebrating the box office breaking 800 million, but the painting style here is a pity that the difference of 10 million did not break 2 billion? I've never seen such a pretending group! ”

"On making movies, Li Mu is awesome! In terms of pretending, Li Muliu is not the first fan! ”

A reporter also asked Li Mu if he regretted it, but in fact, for Li Mu, it was a fart!

How much difference can there be between breaking 2 billion two days earlier and breaking 2 billion two days later?

"Isn't it enough to regret this? As of last Sunday, the box office of "Demon Thieves" did not break 2 billion, but hasn't it broken yet? How much difference can it make two days earlier and two days late? If you really want to say that you are anxious, you are also anxious about when you will be able to surpass director Spielberg in the total box office! ”

To be honest, Li Mu's answer confused reporters and netizens.

"What? More than Spielberg? ”

"No. 1 in the world? I think it's a long way off, right? Is this approaching? ”

"By the way, what was the total box office before Director Li Mu?"

Soon, some netizens sorted out the detailed summary, as of the global release of "Shocking Demon Thieves", the total global box office of director Li Mu was 8.5 billion US dollars, so what is the global total box office of "Amazing Demon Thieves" in US dollars?

More than 1.9 billion in China plus more than 1.9 billion overseas, a total of about 3.9 billion yuan in the world, converted into US dollars - 573 million!

If you add the previous cumulative box office of 8.5 billion US dollars - now the total global box office directed by Li Mu is 9.076 billion US dollars?

So what is the total box office of director Spielberg at the moment?

Soon, some netizens searched for the answer - 9.1 billion US dollars.

So the current situation is that Spielberg has the world's largest box office appeal, with a total global box office of 9.1 billion US dollars.

Li Mu, $9.076 billion - the distance between Li Mu and Spielberg is only $24 million?!

$24 million is the entire gap between Li Mu and the world's No. 1?

The problem is that "Rogue Bandits" is still being screened worldwide!

Buzz.

The Huaxia Internet blew up.

"I'm grass, just a little bit away, only $24 million short of the world's No. 1!"

"I guess it's only a matter of these two days!"

"Who said two days ago that when it comes to making movies, Li Mu is awesome, on pretending, Li Muliu is not a fan? Are you going to tell me what happened to Li Mu's pretending just now? ”

"It's a bit incredible, Huaxia director is about to become the most box office appeal director in the world!"

Li Mu's answer is really powerful, just think about it, the favorite director of Chinese netizens is about to be the first in the world, and the result is just a little bit worse, what would you do if it were you?

Do you need to ask? Of course, it's to buy tickets to support it!

Isn't he fragrant to put the hat of the world's No. 1 director on the head of the Chinese director earlier?

Therefore, the box office of "Shocking Thieves" in the next week actually grew against the trend, and the daily box office soared from about 20 million to 30 million, so that in the new week, from Monday to Friday, the domestic box office of "Thieves" was 147 million yuan, plus the new overseas box office, as of the latest Friday, the global total box office of the film directed by Li Mu officially exceeded the $9.1 billion mark.

It also means that Li Mu officially surpassed Spielberg and became the No. 1 director at the global box office!

Whether it is Li Mu's fans or Liu Yifei's fans, or even ordinary netizens who are not fans or are simply proud of Huaxia, they have nothing to say now.

It's also slowed down for a long time.

"I wanted to continue to pretend to be like that, but after thinking about it for a long time, I came to the conclusion that Director Li Mu was awesome! I don't know what about others, but I'm obedient myself! ”

"Director Li is okay, the only shortcoming...... The only drawback...... Cao, the only deficiency of TM, Director Li must be so good that there is no deficiency! ”

"There's nothing to say, convinced!"

With such a big gimmick, the reporter naturally tried his best to interview Li Mu again.

"May I ask Director Li, what do you want to say about your total box office officially surpassing Director Spielberg?"

Li Mu said: "Director Spielberg is one of my favorite directors, I want to say that I can surpass Director Spielberg at the box office today, and Director Spielberg will be able to surpass me again at the box office tomorrow, a short victory is not surprising, but if I can get the title of the world's first director with tens of billions of dollars, then I think I should be happy for a long time." ”

Then netizens blew up again.

"I'm grass, I actually ignored this, 9.1 billion US dollars and 10 billion US dollars, there is only 900 million US dollars in between!"

"It's not a big problem to collect another $200 million before the release of "The Demon Thieves", which means that Li Mu's total box office will reach about $9.3 billion after "The Demon Thieves".

"Li Mu is 700 million US dollars away from the world's first 10 billion dollar director? It's not enough for Li Mu to have a movie! ”

"Ten billion?! Dollars?! Director?! ”

"Rub!"
