"Da Liu doesn't want to go to the World Science Fiction Convention?"

In the evening, Guo Fan called Li Mu to communicate with Li Mu about some of the problems exposed during the filming of "The Wandering Earth", during which Guo Fan casually said to Li Mu.

Da Liu is the screenwriter and consultant of "The Wandering Earth", and he happened to be in the crew of "The Wandering Earth" recently.

"Da Liu just went to the United States to participate in the Nebula Award ceremony 3 months ago, but he didn't get anything, and now he is coming to the Hugo Award ceremony again, he may feel that he still has no hope this time." Guo Fan said.

Li Mu said when he heard this: "I think Da Liu still has hope this time, okay, I know, I'll call him later." ”

Guo Fan said with a smile: "If Da Liu can really win the award this time, it will be a good feeling, the second Hugo Award winner in Asia, the Nobel Prize in the field of science fiction, the gimmick is still very sufficient, there is this wave of popularity, and when our "The Wandering Earth" is released next year, at least it can sell tens of millions more box office, but it's a pity, it's a bit of a fly in the ointment......"

"What's the fly in the ointment?" Li Mu asked curiously.

Guo Fan laughed and said: "The fly in the ointment is that even if Da Liu really wins the award this time, he is also the second Hugo Award winner in Asia, if he is the first Hugo Award winner in Asia, then this gimmick will be even more sufficient." ”

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh and scolded when he heard this: "Go, go, I said, don't you kid know who the first Hugo Award winner in Asia is?" It's me! Your boss! Looking forward to Da Liu being the first in Asia, I said that you kid has no boss in his heart! ”

Guo Fan said with a smile: "Yes, yes, of course, but boss, don't you win awards like chopping melons and vegetables, and even won several Oscars, isn't this more energetic than the Hugo Award?" A Hugo Award is of course very expensive for others, but for you, the boss, it's drizzle, and if it's gone, it's gone! ”

"What a Guo Fan!" Li Mu smiled and then said, "By the way, Guo Fan, I praised you a lot at the company meeting recently, saying that as long as you Guo Fan is here, the domestic box office of "The Wandering Earth" will start at 4 billion, and also said that in the entire Huashang director, I am actually the most optimistic about you, and now many signed directors in the company are not convinced, don't give me the chain." ”

"4 billion? Still getting started? Guo Fan shouted when he heard it, and his mind was very fast, and he immediately thought that this was the boss digging a pit for him, he just said that the boss won the Hugo Award was a drizzle, and the boss turned his face and said that his "The Wandering Earth" would start with 4 billion, can it be related?

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, thinking that you are such a big boss, why are your eyes so small?

"Boss, I was wrong, the Hugo Awards are not a drizzle for you, let's not put a top hat on me, okay? The target of 4 billion is too high, and the high is a bit outrageous. ”

"I accept your apology." Li Mu smiled when he heard this, "But I mean it when I say that "The Wandering Earth" wants to win 4 billion box office, don't let me down!" ”

……

At this time, Liu Yifei was reading a book on the sofa, and when he saw Li Mu hanging up the phone, he asked, "Director Guo Fan?" ”

Li Mu nodded.

Liu Yifei said: "I feel that you appreciate him very much. ”

Li Mu said: "If I retire one day, he will be the only one who can and is willing to make sci-fi in China." ”

"Retirement?" Liu Yifei put down the book in his hand and said, "How old are you, you are thinking about retirement, why do you go when you retire." ”

Li Mu said seriously: "To create a man, it is best to have a son and a daughter, and after twenty or thirty years, I will coax my son and daughter to coax the child, and be a grandfather and grandfather with peace of mind." ”

When Liu Yifei heard this, he raised his hand and hit Li Mu with a book.

This guy is talking more and more out of tune, and began to say that it is normal to create people, and said that he wants to give birth to a son and a daughter, she feels a little pressure, she originally wanted to have a second child, regardless of gender, but if he really wanted, she would give birth to a second child, but - the two of them have not even seen their sons and daughters now, and this person has begun to think about being a grandfather and grandfather? That's too fast, right?!

And when the two of them really become grandparents, what should they be like when they become old? I don't dare to think about it, but I feel terrible when I think about it.

After chatting with Liu Yifei for a few more words, Li Mu picked up the phone and dialed Da Liu.

"I heard Director Guo Fan say that you don't want to go to the Hugo Award ceremony?"

Da Liu replied: "It's so far away, it still costs money, and most of them can't be hit, so I just can't go." ”

Li Mu asked him, "How do you know if you can't win?" ”

Da Liu said: "Some time ago, I asked the organizer if I had to be there, and the organizer replied that I could not go, if I could really win the award this time, the organizer would definitely hint that I had to be there!" ”

Li Muxin said: "Could it be that Da Liu didn't go to receive the award in his last life is also the reason? Privately asked the organizer if he could not go, and the organizer said yes, so he decided that he could not win the award and did not go? ”

"Then you can think clearly, in case you win the award this time, but you didn't go, and then the organizer also held a particularly commemorative award ceremony, don't feel sorry for it at that time." Li Mu persuaded so.

After that, the two chatted for a few more words, and then Li Mu hung up the phone, and he should have reminded him, as for whether Liu Cixin can still win the award in this time and space, and whether he will receive the award, it is not for Li Mu to worry more.

A week later, the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention was officially unveiled in Spokane, Washington.

Chinese writer Liu Cixin won the Hugo Award for Best Novel for "The Three-Body Problem", and the astronauts announced the winners on the International Space Station via video link, and the process seems quite lofty.

……

At the end of August, "Edge of Tomorrow" was officially announced, and after returning to Beijing, Li Mu and Liu Yifei had a good rest for a few days, during which Li Mu asked Liu Yifei where he wanted to play, Liu Yifei said that he suddenly wanted to ride a horse, Li Mu immediately arranged, flipped to Uncle Yu's number from his mobile phone, and then made a phone call.

"It's not that you suddenly want to ride a horse, do you have a docile temperament? Please arrange it, we will be over in a few days. ”

After a brief communication, Li Mu explained his intentions.

"Yes, don't worry, my horses here are all trained by me, to ensure docile, absolutely can't fall, you can come over at any time, no performers are in the racecourse these days."

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Yu."

"Look at me, you're still polite!"

The other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yu apologized for pondering, and after a while, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed another number to go out.

The phone was connected, and Yu apologized and said directly:

"Da Linzi, if you don't have anything important to do these days, come to my horse farm."

"There are performances these days, Master, is there something wrong with you? If something happens, my father and I will take a leave of absence. ”

"Something, in a few days, Li Mu and his wife will come to Master's horse farm to ride a horse, I am thinking about letting you show your face in front of Li Mu, and then I will take the opportunity to recommend it, let Li Mu see if you can develop in the film and television industry, there are many ways to choose from multiple choices."

"Director Li Mu? Or don't say goodbye, he's such a big director, I didn't graduate from junior high school, I'm still short, I'm still fat, how can he fall in love with me. Saying that, Guo Qilin revealed his true feelings, "Master, thank you, you can think of me for everything, but I still don't need to go, I ...... this condition."

Yu apologized and sighed when he heard this, Da Linzi is good anywhere, but his personality is a little - he is very inferior, Lao Guo is not too concerned about this son, as Da Linzi's master, he doesn't Zhang Luo for Da Linzi, who will Zhang Luo for him?

"Your father, then I'll go and tell him, you can come over this day, this matter is decided!"

At the end of August, Liu Cixin was interviewed by Yang Ma after returning to China, and Da Liu also specifically mentioned Li Mu in the interview.

"When I met Li Mu for the first time ten years ago, Li Mu told me that if anyone in China could win the Hugo Award, it would only be him and me.

"As a result, Li Mu won the Hugo Award the next year, I was shocked, and after the shock, I thought, Li Mu said that if someone in Asia can win the award, it can only be him and me, and now that he has won the award, then it should be me next, right? And then I waited, waited, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

"Until this year, I was about to lose any expectations for this award, I didn't even think about receiving the award, thinking that I wouldn't be able to win anyway, but Li Mu called me, and he said let me go, so I went, but I didn't expect to really win.

"I've always been a staunch materialist, and I've never believed in anything like ghosts, snakes, or gods, but when I learned that I had really won the award, I was suddenly a little shaken."

Host: "It sounds like a very fortunate thing to have a friend like Li Mu. ”

Liu Cixin nodded: "Sometimes it's also distressing." ”

Host: "Distressed? ”

Liu Cixin: "It's that you are obviously very good at some things, and you are very proud of this aspect, but when you come to Li Mu, you understand." ”

The host smiled: "I understand, Li Mu seems to be ...... When I was a child, my mother said that other people's children ......"

……

At the beginning of September, "Looking for the Dragon" was officially released after a one-month delay, and the cumulative domestic box office was a total of 2.415 billion.

Other film and television companies are very red-eyed.

Just such a movie can get such a high box office, and the popularity of "Exquisite Ancient City" is still so high, how can this be done? What a gold mine this is!

You have to know how much length "Looking for the Dragon" has filmed in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series? In the future, Huashang Media will throw out one step by step every year, and will it not accumulate a box office of 10 billion in a few years?

It's amazing!

Why do you say Li Mu started so quickly? The vast majority of the series with the largest IP value in China are in the hands of Li Mu.

……

In early September, Li Mu and Liu Yifei came to Uncle Yu's horse farm, Guo Qilin was also there, at this time, Guo Qilin had not yet lost weight, he was about 1.7 meters tall, and his weight was estimated to be almost 200 pounds, and he was not at all thinner than Yue Yunpeng.

Yu apologized for introducing Guo Qilin to Li Mu and his wife, Guo Qilin was a little inferior in front of Li Mu, but the etiquette and speech were unusually decent, Liu Yifei had a good impression of Da Linzi, but she came to the horse today, and when she changed into riding clothes and came to the stable, Liu Yifei fell in love with one of the black horses at a glance.

"Is this horse docile?" Li Mu asked Uncle Yu next to him.

Yu apologized and spread his hands: "I'm the most naughty horse here, and it turns out that I really like this horse at a glance, but I'm definitely fine with me." ”

When Li Mu heard this, he pulled Liu Yifei to look at the white horse next to him, which made Liu Yifei's face inexplicable.

"What's wrong with this horse?"

"This horse is a little insane?" Li Mu said casually.

"Neuropathy? Do horses still have neuropathy? ”

"Of course, anyone can get any sick horse."

It doesn't matter if you don't say it, Liu Yifei is still curious, and he shouts to see what kind of neurosis this horse has.

I saw her leaning over and reaching out to touch the horse's head, but the horse snorted and turned away, and the frightened Liu immediately took a few steps back, and at the same time said in his mouth: "What is it going to do?" You can't be trying to stumble, right? ”

"Anyway, this horse has a nervous disorder." Li Mu said.

Liu Yifei was still unwilling, this was the horse she liked at a glance today, so she went around to the horse and wanted to touch it, but this time the horse shook her head and didn't let her touch, but she didn't continue to turn around and walk away, and finally Liu Yifei could only give up, and complained to Li Mu and Uncle Yu Apologize: "This horse won't really have a mental problem, right?" ”

Immediately, a few people went to the white horse recommended by Yu Qian, which was known as the most docile, Liu Yifei reached out and touched it again, the white horse did not hide, and even seemed to be enjoying it.

After riding a few laps, he came to Yu Apology's tea house to drink tea, during which Yu Apologetic mentioned the big forest that he took with him.

"Dalin, this kid has a good personality, is willing to endure hardships, and has a good understanding, you can help take a look at it and see if he can have a good prospect if he goes to the film and television industry."

Li Mu remembered that Guo Qilin, who was later in the original time and space, was also very popular in the film and television industry, and his audience popularity was really good, although he was not handsome, but sometimes the audience really ate this kind of ordinary people's looks, even if he apologized for not recommending Li Mu, he would probably look for him in the future, after all, the film and television copyright of "Son-in-law" is also in his hands.

It's not that "Son-in-law" will definitely look for him, but at least it is one of the options.

So he smiled: "I'm going to enter the entertainment industry, what kind of tricks do you want to mention, actors who don't want to be the leading actors are not easy to talk about, if you really want to come to the film and television industry to develop, I really have a role that suits him." ”

Saying that, Li Mu turned to Guo Qilin: "Maybe I can really arrange a few protagonists for you at that time." ”

Hearing this, Guo Qilin and Yu Qi were all stunned for a moment, Guo Qilin never expected Li Mu to say such a thing, Guo Qilin once said that he had long stopped expecting anything, and also said that as long as you don't have expectations for anything, you will never be disappointed, it can be seen from these words that Guo Qilin has been inferior to his bones for at least a while.

A person who doesn't expect anything, how could he have thought that Li Mu would open his mouth and say that he would arrange a protagonist for him?

Yu apologized and immediately began to think about it, whether Li Mu said it casually or true, if it was casually, it would be fine, if it was serious, I can't say that Dalin's fortune would be rewritten from today.

"I said Director Li, we don't want to tease children like this, Dalin is a real person, he believes it when you say that."

Li Mu looked at Da Lin and said, "I'm really optimistic about Da Linzi, what I just said is valid at any time, but there is another premise." ”

At this time, Da Lin and Yu Qian's hearts were all pinched.

People are generally not too nervous when they don't know that there is hope, but once they know that they are promising, that nervousness will follow.

"What premise?" Yu apologized for Dalin and asked.

Li Mu smiled: "Let's lose weight first." ”
