China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Before writing "The Hunger Games", Li Mu first thought about a question, that is, whether the identity of the male and female protagonists should be written as Chinese or white.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if it is written as anyone. In the world of The Hunger Games, the world is divided into twelve districts. Each district selects two contestants, one male and one female, to participate in the Hunger Games every year. Only one person from each district can come back alive.

.

It is completely reasonable for anyone to exist in the twelve districts. Li Mu has a good sense of this series of movies. If possible, he may film this series himself in the future. In this way, it seems more advantageous to make the male and female protagonists Chinese.

.

But then Li Mu thought about it. His top priority now is to make a name for himself in the United States. Obviously, writing completely according to the original work is more guaranteed. Moreover, novels and movies are two different things. Even if he writes the male and female protagonists of the novel as white people today, in the future

When making a movie, he can change it to Chinese at any time.

If you own the copyright, how can you change it if you don’t want to?

After thinking about this, Li Mu immediately started writing, and both the setting and the plot were completely based on the original work of the previous life.

After getting busy, time flew by quickly, and soon it was the day of the 27th Hundred Flowers Awards.

On the evening of September 19, 2004, the 27th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony was officially held. The ceremony was hosted by Pu Cunxin and Zhang Yan, and the entire ceremony was broadcast live on CCTV Movie Channel.

At this ceremony, Fan Binbin won the Best Actress Award for her performance in the movie "Cell Phone".

Under the spotlight, Fan Binbin slowly walked up to the podium wearing a long white dress. The host invited presenters Lu Yan and You Yong to present the award to Fan Binbin.

"Thank you very much to Huayi Brothers Media Group, thank you to my agent Wang Jinghua, thank you to my parents, and once again thank you to all the audiences in the motherland for supporting our young actors. It is really not easy. Thank you all, thank you

.”

During the process of receiving the award, Fan Binbin's eyes were filled with tears, and this scene was broadcast to thousands of households through CCTV, a national media.

"Li Mu, do you think there is something in Fan Binbin's acceptance speech?" In the evening, my old uncle Liu Xiaowu came to the house for dinner. After dinner, everyone sat in the living room to watch the award ceremony. After Fan Binbin accepted the award, Liu Xiaowu suddenly said.

"Ah? Is there one?" Li Mu said after being stunned.

"Look, she said thank you to everyone for their support of 'young' actors. I wonder if you noticed that when she said the word 'young', tears almost fell from her eyes."

"I didn't pay attention, but even if I did, it doesn't matter. After being awarded the Hundred Blossoms at the age of 23, it's normal to be touched when I think about how difficult it has been along the way."

Liu Xiaowu said: "That's right. It's normal to be touched, especially when someone said you were old just a few days ago."

Liu Xiaohui asked: "Some people say that Fan Binbin is old? Does this person have normal eyesight? Fan Binbin tonight is really... like a fairy in the sky."

"Haha...haha...Sister, you are right, this person does have abnormal eyesight."

"Is it really related to what I said?" Li Mu couldn't help but mutter, and then immediately rejected the idea. This is a typical example of overthinking, as if everything has something to do with him, but in fact, he didn't take it seriously at all.

go.

"By the way, Huang Jianxin came to Xiying today and stayed in Director Yan's office for a long time. I guess Director Yan might want him to serve as the producer of "Hurricane Rescue." Liu Xiaowu suddenly said at this time.

Li Mu quickly went through it in his mind and nodded: "This is a great director with a very high level. He also has a good relationship with the filmmakers in Xiangjiang. He is indeed a good candidate."

…

After the crew of "Hurricane Rescue" was set up, the formal casting work was quickly put on the agenda. The casting was carried out in Beijing. Xiying had already sent people to Beijing in advance to serve as an outpost. In a few days, Li Mu and his uncle Liu Xiaowu would supervise the production.

Huang Jianxin and others are also leaving for Beijing.

The day before departure.

Xijing City, in front of a kindergarten.

A woman waiting to pick up her child suddenly saw her ex-husband Liu Xiaowu walking towards her.

"Why are you here? It's not your turn to pick up the child today."

"I'm going on a long trip, and I may not have time to see the child in the next few months." Liu Xiaowu took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to his ex-wife.

Ex-wife Xie Lin took the envelope and put it into her bag. She didn't want to ask, but in the end she couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to travel far away?"

"The factory cast a movie, and I was the editor."

"Editing is post-production, but pre-production should also follow?"

"This movie is very important and the investment is huge. I need to follow it."

At this moment, the door of the kindergarten opened, and a familiar voice shouted not far away from the two of them: "Mom-Dad..."

The little girl was very surprised when she suddenly saw her father.

"Let's go out to eat tonight." Liu Xiaowu picked up his daughter and suggested to his ex-wife.

The ex-wife hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

In the evening, when she returned home, Xie Lin couldn't contain her curiosity, so she called her sister who worked at Xiying Film Studio.

"Wenwen."

"Sister Lin."

"Wenwen, let me ask you something. I heard that the factory recently cast a movie and Liu Xiaowu was the editor. Do you know about this?"

"Sister Lin doesn't even know about this? It's true that Liu Xiaowu still hides such a big thing from you."

"We are divorced. It's normal for him not to tell me. Besides, he's just an editor. He's been doing this for almost 20 years, so there's nothing to make a fuss about."

The voice on the other end of the phone immediately became louder.

"What's all the fuss about? Sister Lin, Xiying and Cheng Long jointly invested. It seems that China Film Group also participated. The investment amount is 60 million, and Cheng Long himself stars. Sister, do you think we should make a fuss about it?"

"Listening to what you said, this movie is really important, but it doesn't have much to do with Liu Xiaowu, right? He just does the post-production and helps others."

"Are you going to do some post-production work? Sister Lin, it seems you really don't know. This time Liu Xiaowu is the editor who has the final cut rights. Sister Lin, you are also from Xiying Studio. I don't need to tell you how important the final cut rights are.

Right? The situation this time is a bit special. Let’s put it this way, the final editing rights this time have been decided to belong to Liu Xiaowu, and Director Yan of Xiying Film Studio may not be able to change it easily.”

"What did you say? How is it possible?"

"How is it impossible? This matter has been an open secret in Xiying Studio for a long time. Sister, you can find out if you just ask around."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Lin sat on the sofa, her mind already in a mess.

…

The next day, Li Mu, Liu Xiaowu, and Huang Jianxin flew to Beijing together. The crew had already arranged a hotel in advance. When the three of them arrived, Xiangjiang director Chen Musheng's team had already arrived a day in advance. That night, everyone gathered together

Let’s start discussing some details of the shoot together.

Starting from the third day, the film auditions officially started.

Starring Cheng Long, 60 million investment, and directed by Chen Musheng, these elements together are enough to cause a small shock in the Beijing film circle.

Artists from various media companies, students from film schools, and actors who work for singles all want to try their luck.

At nine o'clock in the morning, there were already forty or fifty people gathered in the audition hall. Most of them were students from Beijing Film and Television Film and Television, and some artists from media companies, but there were no actors who were too famous.

The crew made it very clear when they sent out the audition invitation that there would be no important roles in today's audition.

The role of Cheng Long's daughter has been confirmed for Liu Yifei, but she will come to meet director Chen Musheng today for a formality.
