China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 47
On November 11, the 9th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and China Film Centennial Celebration opened in Sanya.

At 18:15, the opening reception was held on the outdoor beach lawn of Sanya Jiahua Marriott Resort Hotel.

The nominations for this film festival are all works from the previous year, and the awards have nothing to do with the crew of "Taken". The reason why Li Mu and others were invited is purely because the results of "Taken" this year are too dazzling.

The moving melody of "Please come to the ends of the earth" was played at the opening ceremony. Under the blowing of the sea breeze in Yalong Bay, Li Mu and dozens of other guests walked through the red carpet. 14 bells sounded at the scene, symbolizing that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has passed. 14 sessions.

A huge cake was placed in the center of the reception, with twelve characters written "Happy birthday to you for a hundred years of Huaxia Movies". Li Mu carefully looked at the cake in front of the cake with a glass in his hand, and couldn't help but said to himself: "The diameter is at least 10 m."

"It is 9.9 meters, implying the long-term glory of Chinese movies."

Li Mu turned around and saw that Liu Yifei appeared behind him at some point. Today she was wearing a pink halterneck, which looked a lot sexier than when she was filming "Taken".

"I didn't expect you to know a lot." Li Mu smiled.

"Actually, I just heard about it." Liu Yifei walked to Li Mu's left and continued, "By the way, I heard that "The Hunger Games" was written by you, so I was in front of you at the film festival last time." Why don't you praise this book?"

"I said it." Li Mu smiled, "I said that the author and I are so close that we wear a pair of pants. Isn't that obvious? Would you wear a pair of pants with others? It's so obvious that you can't hear it. The problem must be yours."

"Pretentious words." Liu Yifei muttered and then said, "My mother said that you are very good. I asked Brother Cheng Long to shoot the first script I wrote, and Cheng Long and Li Lianlian, two international filmmakers, were invited to shoot the second film. Superstar, you became a director this time and even wrote "The Hunger Games", this is the first time I heard my mother praise a young man like that."

"Auntie is really discerning." Li Mu said casually.

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You're really thick-skinned."

Then both of them fell silent, Liu Yifei didn't speak, Li Mu didn't speak, and finally Liu Yifei couldn't help but said: "My role in "Assassin" is too small, we two have a good time working together in the Hurricane crew, I heard that directors like to use familiar actors, we two are so familiar, you didn't think about giving me more roles."

Li Mudao: "Your role was forced out by me. Originally, Cheng Long's role shouldn't have this daughter. Besides, it's good to have fewer roles. If there are more roles, if the acting skills are lacking, the audience will only remember you. If the acting skills are bad, and the scenes are missing, the audience will only remember the beauty."

Liu Yifei couldn't help complaining: "No one has said that my acting skills are bad except you."

"Really?" Li Mu was a little surprised.

This time, Li Mu designed the role of father in "League of Assassins" as an elder brother. In order to balance the roles of the two leading actors, he also added a story line to the role of his elder brother.In the newly added story line, the elder brother also has a confidante. In the original movie, an old man will appear after the death of the father to revive the protagonist and tell him the truth, but Li Mu changed it to Cheng Long’s confidante. Link to revive and tell him the truth.

And this confidante also gave birth to a daughter with Cheng Long's character, the daughter's character will appear at the end of the movie, and Liu Yifei is naturally invited to comeo for this character.

In "Taken", she played Cheng Long's daughter, and this time she still plays Cheng Long's daughter in "Assassin".

"This cake is huge."

At this time, a female voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. They turned their heads and saw International Zhang standing not far away.

Seeing Li Mu turning their heads, International Zhang smiled and walked to Li Mu's side, then looked at the cake and said, "I think it's at least 10 meters long."

Li Mu said: "It is 9.9 meters, implying the long-term glory of Chinese movies."

International Zhang said: "Director Li, you know a lot."

Li Mudao: "I just heard about it."

Liu Yifei next to him couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"By the way, Director Li, I've been reading "The Hunger Games" you wrote for the past two days, but I couldn't stop reading it. My assistant finally couldn't bear it and confiscated my book, saying that I could even see dark circles under my eyes in those two days gone."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Is there? I think you look pretty good today, at least you beat 90.00% of the female stars on the scene."

After Li Mu finished speaking, Liu Yifei and International Zhang were speechless.

If you want to praise others, you should praise thoroughly. If you want to praise others, you should praise them thoroughly. If you want to praise others, you should praise them all.Who are the remaining 90.00% of actresses?

International Zhang chuckled and changed the subject: "I heard that Lionsgate wants to buy the copyright of "The Hunger Games". It may not be long before Director Li's novel will be on the big screen."

Li Mu said with a smile: "I will not sell the copyright of this book. I can cooperate, but I will not sell it."

The international chapter was really interested: "If Director Li shoots it himself, are you going to use a Chinese or an American for the heroine?"

Li Mudao: "It's hard to say now."

After chatting and chatting, Li Lianhua, Fan Binbin, Shu Qi and others all came over, and Liu Yifei, who came over first, stood on the outside without knowing it.

The topics they talked about were basically the same-giant cake, "The Hunger Games", and the new movie of the two superstars.

These few all have ideas about the heroine of "Assassin". As the screenwriter and director of this film, Li Mu dare not say that he can decide with one word on the choice of heroine. Have a considerable right to speak.

"Let's take a look, let's see, is there anything good here? Why are the most beautiful beauties at the scene tonight all running here?"

Several people were chatting, when brother Cheng Long came over with a wine glass.

At this film festival, Brother Cheng Long's film "New Police Story" is the most popular award-winning film, so although the crew of "Taken" is also invited, in fact, the eldest brother is leading the team for "New Police Story" this time.

When the international chapter saw Brother Cheng Long, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he even pulled his brother's arm to ask questions very socially.

"Brother Cheng Long, you just said that all the beauties at the scene are here, so now tell me which of us is the prettiest."

"How many of you." Cheng Long rubbed his chin and said, "You guys...are both good-looking and the same good-looking, each with its own merits."

"Brother's words are tight, no one can offend anyone." International Zhang smiled and looked around, and then saw Li Mu, so he smiled and said, "Director Li, there are only two men here, Brother Cheng Long and you. Let’s talk, just a few of us, who do you think is the prettiest.”

Li Mu was a little embarrassed, thinking that the international chapter is a social cow or a lack of understanding, or is it just treating this place as a variety show scene?Don't have a script either?
"Don't say it's all good-looking." Fan Binbin actually followed suit.

"I'm face-blind, which means I can't tell who is beautiful and who is not." Li Mu finally said.

……

Finally, when Brother Cheng Long left, Li Mu also followed.

"Uncle Long."

"Is something wrong?"

"Well, I just saw Brother Zhou Runfa. After seeing him, I suddenly realized that he is very close to the image of Mr. X in my mind."

"Mr. X? Is that the killer who stepped on the elevator, jumped off the building at the beginning of the movie, shot bullets in mid-air and turned around, and was shot in the head in the end?"

"It's him. Although this character only has two or three minutes of scenes, he has a very deep memory. I am afraid that after many years after the movie is released, the first thing people think of when they think of this movie is the scene of jumping off the building at the beginning of the elevator."

"Do you want to invite Zhou Runfa to make a cameo?"

"That's right, can Uncle Long arrange it?"

Cheng Long pulled Li Mu aside and said, "Zhou Runfa and I are filmmakers of the same era, but after so many years, the two of us have never cooperated."

Li Mu really didn't pay attention to this.

"So if you want to invite him to make a cameo, you can find someone else to invite him, or you can simply invite him in person, and I won't show up."

Li Mu nodded, and at the same time murmured in his heart: "People who have spent most of their lives in the film and television industry, Xiangjiang is such a big place, but the two have never worked together-there is no contradiction between these two, right?"

Then he thought of the original role of jumping off the building by jumping off the elevator, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this role was really suitable for Zhou Runfa.

There are three screens.

One is when he jumped out of the building, reached into his arms, took out a pistol, grinned and aimed at the killer on the opposite building.

There is also a picture of him pulling out another long gun after firing two shots and firing.

The last is the picture of him holding a gun in each hand and starting to fall with the posture of a big roc spreading his wings.

Just these three pictures, it looks like Zhou Runfa.

Ask Zhou Run to make a cameo, he probably doesn't have such a big face, but he still wants to give it a try, if he is rejected, he will be rejected, and there will be no loss of meat. Old Wang said that you must have a thick skin when doing business.
