Chapter 127 Already a Giant
Li Mu pressed Liu Yifei against the door, so close that he could feel the other person's heartbeat and breathing. Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu with his chest heaving violently, and Li Mu kissed him suddenly.

Five minutes later, Li Mu hugged Liu Yifei horizontally amidst Liu Yifei's exclamation of "ah!" Liu Yifei hooked Li Mu's neck with both hands, and Li Mu walked step by step to the big bed in the room.

"Do you think the reporters will say that I seduce you for the sake of the superior?"

"No, all the media will bless us."

"Do you believe this yourself?" The young lady stared at Li Mu's eyes after being put on the bed.

Li Mu stepped forward and said, "Believe me, be good, don't talk."

Liu Yifei chuckled suddenly and said, "You said that if the two of us were together the first time we met, what would the reporter say about us? I was more famous than you at that time, and I had acted in several films at that time. You’re still just a screenwriter who hasn’t shown any works.”

"I don't know what to say about you, but I know I will be scolded to death. You were only 17 at that time."

"I think it's fine tonight, it's bad if someone sees it."

"Huh? No, shouldn't you be that 'I don't care what they think!' character?"

"Actually, I have indeed become stronger over the years, but I have not always been so strong—wait a minute."

"Well, tell me, I'll listen."

"I remember when I first came to the United States to study, there were a few Korean girls who always made things difficult for me. I was sitting in class there, and suddenly that girl came over and pulled my hair, and then drew something on me with that pen. Things, we are basically more civilized over there, and we didn’t do anything—wait a minute.”

"Well, let's see how my husband will vent his anger on you in the future. He must dig down the walls of the Korean cultural circle."

"Actually, it's all over—I said, be honest!"

"Uh-huh."

"Hey, I said, in a few days, I will be filming the scene where you cheated on kissing me. I remember that at the premiere of Hurricane, you said that you were going to write a script where I would kiss you proactively. Tell me, did you just— —Oh, I told you to be honest!"

"Yeah, I originally wanted to write a movie where the hero and heroine kiss for more than half an hour.

"You are so bad, don't write!"

"Oh, it hurts when you hit someone. I listen to you. If you don't write, don't write."

"Huh? I really don't want to write anymore? Actually..."

"Of course! I'm about to pass the driver's license test. What subject do I need to review—be obedient, let's stop talking, okay?"

"Driver's license? Subject one?"

Li Mu explained, but was punched again.

"By the way, you're such a great director, have you ever met an actress who offered to throw herself into your arms—stop it!"

"Hush! Don't talk, it's almost dawn!"

"Wait a minute"

……

At the same time, Tom Hanks was calling his circle of friends in Hollywood one by one.

He can't understand Harvey Weinstein's behavior very much, but at the same time he admires his vision very much.

Harvey Weinstein actually assured Li Mu that both films would win Oscar statuettes, which Hanks never expected.

Tom Hanks already valued "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Revenant" very much. Now that Harvey Weinstein, who has always been known for his vicious vision, also highly respects these two scripts, what does Tom Hanks do? Can you pay more attention to these two scripts?
He has won the Oscar winner twice, becoming one of the actors who have won the Oscar winner the most times, but looking at the entire 80-year history of the Academy Awards, there are nearly ten actors who have won the Oscar winner twice!

But if he can win the best actor again with the help of "Manchester by the Sea" or "The Revenant", then he will become the first actor in history to win the Oscar winner three times.

The first actor in history to win the Oscar winner three times!
This is a huge achievement, but only if the running of the film must not be handed over to Harvey Weinstein!
In 1998, Weinstein invested US$500 million in public relations for "Shakespeare in Love", bought a large number of Academy members to lobby for it, and even violated the Oscar's regulations by holding a private party and inviting several judges to the scene. When faced with accusations, he quibbled Said that the judges "just happened to be there."In the end, "Shakespeare in Love" defeated "Saving Private Ryan" for the award.

Gwyneth Paltrow (Little Pepper) successfully won the Oscar queen with this film, but since then she will always have the title of "Most Water Actress" on her head, and will be regarded as Oscar's most famous "actress" from time to time "Black history" was brought up to talk about things.

Hanks has already won Best Actor twice, although the temptation to win the Oscar for three times is great, but if the price is to become the most famous "black history" in Oscar history like Gwyneth Paltrow, and even be ridiculed for a whole If people continue to laugh at him for ten years and in his lifetime, then Tom Hanks would rather not have this third Oscar statuette!
So he has to stop Li Mu from cooperating with Harvey Weinstein, but he has to admit that Harvey Weinstein does have the ability to win awards for the two films, so Hanks has no reason to ask Li Mu to give up the cooperation with Harvey Cooperation with Weinstein——For no reason to give up the chance to win an Oscar, why?
Unless Hanks can provide a greater possibility!
So this time he didn't have any reservations, and he mobilized all the contacts in the circle accumulated over the past few decades.

Disney, Sony, Paramount, Warner...

However, what Tom Hanks never imagined was that after hearing the news, the executives of these four top Hollywood companies expressed that they would send their vice presidents to France to meet Li Mu.

The four top Hollywood companies all said that they would send vice presidents to France to negotiate with Li Mu?Such outrageous news even made Hanks, who started this network battle, a little confused.

As far as he knows, Li Mu's Huashang Media is not very famous in China, but these four Hollywood companies are well-known companies all over the world.

Why?

Why do these four companies take the initiative to send vice presidents to France to meet Li Mu?

After asking a few friends, Tom Hanks finally figured out what was going on.

Not just because Manchester by the Sea and The Revenant have award-winning potential.

Investing in movies has always been a very risky thing—MGM, United Artists, New Line Pictures, and Carlock Films, the four film companies were directly sent away by four blockbuster films, and they were almost killed by "Egyptian Films". Cleopatra sent Fox away. It can be said that every blockbuster is a life-and-death test for the film company.

Why will the Marvel universe shine in the future?Why are there more and more manga movies?
Isn't it because these projects with a fixed fan base can greatly reduce the risk of investment?

So now let's take a look at what Li Mu is holding in his hand:
"The Hunger Games" has sold more than 2500 million copies worldwide!The fan base is huge. If the box office is satisfactory after the adaptation, it can easily be made into a series of movies.

"Divergent" has sold nearly 1000 million copies worldwide!

"The Maze Runner" has sold nearly 1000 million copies worldwide!

"The Martian", "Gravity", "Inception", "Interstellar", "Doomsday Collapse", "Moon"-the sales of this series of novels are all around 200 million to 500 million copies.

In addition to the newly released "Pacific Rim", in the words of Hanks' friend, this novel has the greatest potential among all Li Mu's works, but Li Mu chose the wrong direction to publish the novel version.
If "Pacific Rim" is a comic version, if it can continue to be serialized and maintain the quality of the first part, then the value of this IP will be incalculable.

Add to that a string of movies that have already been hugely successful — Taken, Assassin, Super Body.

Three films in three years, all of which were hugely successful and none missed, with a global box office of more than 10 billion US dollars. You say it's scary or not, right?
It can be said that the number of high-quality IPs held by Li Mu is no less than that of the so-called six major Hollywood film companies. What is even more rare is that compared to the identity of the company's boss, Li Mu's label of director and writer is undoubtedly more obvious, that is, It is said that everyone has the opportunity to buy these big IPs in Li Mu's hands, at least have the opportunity to participate in investment!

What's even more frightening is that these series of IPs with huge potential and a total value of tens of billions of dollars are actually created by Li Mu from scratch in just four years.

Now Li Mu is still very young, both energy and thinking are at the peak state, after another three to five years, who knows how many high-quality IP projects this Li Mu will create?

You can see that someone who just wrote two literary scripts was targeted by Harvey Weinstein, saying that he is very likely to win the Oscar for Best Picture.

Can you tell me if you are strong or not? !

Few people have heard of Li Mu's company called Huashang Media, but Li Mu is indeed already a giant in entertainment.

A world-class entertainment giant!

It is almost impossible for Li Mu to keep the Hollywood giants from following him.

To be honest, these companies have long wanted to have a good chat with Li Mu.

　It's an update today, something is delayed.
