China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 266 Worth of tens of billions of dollars, 2.31 million broke the daily box office record

"Xiao Mu, when are you going to get the certificate with Yifei?"

Sure enough, Liu Xiaohui seized the opportunity where only their mother and son were present, and asked Li Mu about their marriage.

"Mom, don't worry about this matter, I know it well." Li Mu replied.

"Mom knows that you know what's on your mind, but...it's fine if you don't really see it, but you look at her...Mom doesn't believe you can't see her thoughts. Since you also recognize her in your heart, since this marriage Sooner or later, it will be settled, so it will not be a problem to procrastinate like now."

"Mom, your son has a special job. You see so many celebrities across the country, how many of them got married before they turned [-]?"

"There are still a lot of people in the entertainment industry who will never get married for the rest of their lives, so don't you also want to never get a license for the rest of your life?"

"It's fine if you don't get the certificate for the rest of your life..." Seeing Liu Xiaohui's complexion darken, Li Mu quickly changed his words, "I didn't say I wouldn't get the certificate, I just wanted to wait a little later."

"Mom doesn't urge you, but you have to give Mom a letter of approval. When will this marriage be concluded!"

"It's hard to say, there are too many things to deal with."

"How can it be so troublesome to get married? You two go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate, and then arrange the banquet at home, and the marriage is over!"

"If only it were that simple, Mom, you don't understand, there are many things involved in it!"

Just at this time, Li Yuansheng had something to ask Liu Xiaohui, so this conversation came to an end.

In the evening, Liu Yifei asked Li Mu what he and his mother were talking about today. She saw Li Mu mother and son talking today, but they were far away, and she didn't hear any specific content.

"Ah? It's nothing, just something to do." Li Mu laughed.

In fact, it's not that Li Mu really doesn't want to get the certificate earlier, but as he said with his mother Liu Xiaohui today, there are too many things involved in getting married.

Li Mu's mother, Liu Xiaohui, has indeed seen a lot of people in the market these years, but her way of thinking still hasn't changed for a while, thinking that the marriage of public figures like Li Mu and Liu Yifei who each have their own careers is a trivial and private matter .

The question is how could this matter be so small?
The opinions of their respective fans are the most irrelevant. With Li Mu and Liu Yifei's current careers and identities, the combination of the two is no less than the merger of two large listed companies. How can the merger of two large listed companies be simple? is it?
The simplest account.

Some time ago, Li Mu’s group-buying company just received US$5 million in Series C financing, and the company’s C-round valuation has reached about US$50 billion.

There is also Huashang Media Group under the name of Li Mu. The company currently has a total global box office of nearly 40 billion US dollars a year.Coupled with copyright income, peripheral derivative income, TV drama income, advertising income, etc., in short, the current valuation of Huashang Media is at least 90 billion US dollars.

In addition, Li Mu also owns Manwu Manga, Manwu Animation Studio and many other companies. In addition to Li Mu’s use of golden fingers to invest in potential companies and the income in the stock market over the years, Li Mu does not have an exact figure for the exact number. However, it is certain that the capital in hand is more than 200 billion US dollars.

Such a large sum of money is of course controlled by Li Mu now, but once he gets married, whether he can control the capital as he likes in the future will cause variables.

ready-made examples.

In 2010, when Digua.com, known as the No. 38 video site in China, was going for an IPO in the United States, the founder Wang Wei was sued by his ex-wife to the court, demanding to divide [-]% of the shares of Digua.com.

As a result, although they finally reconciled, Sweet Potato missed the best time to go public.Even this incident gave birth to the famous "sweet potato clause" in the capital market, which restricts the marriage or divorce of founder shareholders.

There is also the example of Li Guojin in the later generations, who was kicked out of the company by his wife, and he led someone to snatch the official seal. The repeated dramas made a lot of noise, and ordinary people saw that business wars can be so simple and unpretentious.

Based on Li Mu's understanding of Liu Yifei, of course he believes that there will be no bloody drama like this between himself and Liu Yifei, but he can't deliberately leave similar hidden dangers.

It is extremely stupid to use self-sterilization and self-sacrifice to prove that you love each other. Li Mu, who has been a human being for two lifetimes, knows the truth not to test human nature.

Besides, even if he believed that he and Liu Yifei were destined to be in love with each other for the rest of their lives, what about investors?

Li Mu has every reason to believe that if he does not take any measures to obtain the certificate directly with Liu Yifei, no one else will say it, at least the funds that have participated in these rounds of financing of the group will never agree.

As mentioned earlier, today's capital market has the so-called "sweet potato clause", which restricts the marriage and divorce of founders and major shareholders.

Li Mu can give Liu Yifei money (actually she doesn't need it, firstly, Liu Yifei is more of a Buddhist temperament; secondly, under Li Mu's series of praises over the years, her salary has skyrocketed to 1000 million In other words, she is not short of money.), but Li Mu will never allow her company to be separated.

Therefore, regarding the matter of marriage, Li Mu must consult the capital market and lawyers for advice, and only after establishing a sound moat will he formally take action.

In short, for Li Mu, he definitely wants to "better to learn from Liu Qiangdong than to learn from Li Guojin!".

The next morning.

Liu Xiaoli made a call to Liu Yifei's cell phone.

"Is there anyone else with you?"

"Wait a minute...Okay, Mom, tell me."

"What's his father and mother's impression of you?"

"That's OK."

"So have they?"

"what?"

"Mom is also guessing randomly. You said that Li Mu hasn't proposed marriage for so many years. Could it be his parents?"

Liu Yifei was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Of course not, I can feel that his mother still likes me very much—you can leave this matter alone, it is normal in the entertainment industry not to get married at the age of 30. It’s not normal, he can get married whenever he wants, I don’t want to put pressure on him, as long as he treats me sincerely is enough.”

"Silly boy!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoli browsed the news boredly, and then searched for topics related to "Li Mu's worth".

This year's Forbes China Rich List has not yet been released, but she has seen it many times last year.

In the 2012 Forbes China Rich List, Li Mu ranked second with a net worth of US$92 billion, followed by Zong Qinghou, the boss of Wahaha.

In fact, the net worth of the two is almost the same. At that time, Liu Xiaoli discussed this matter with her daughter very excitedly. I remember that Liu Yifei told Liu Xiaoli that this list is actually inaccurate, and Li Mu should not have so much net worth.As a result, Liu Yifei and Li Mu also discussed this matter in the bed, and Li Mu actually said that this list is indeed inaccurate, he does not know the net worth of others, anyway, his own net worth must have been greatly underestimated.

At the very least, the list of investments made by Li Mu with the advantage of rebirth is definitely not grasped, at least it is far from comprehensive.

"Is Li Mu likely to become the richest man in China this year?"

I don't know what she was thinking, anyway, Liu Xiaoli accidentally searched for such a question on Baidu, and there were actually people discussing it on the Internet.

Liu Xiaoli carefully read what the netizens said.

"What are you thinking? It's not possible, it's definitely!"

"Do you know what happened to Li Mu this year after the review last year? Let's not mention those movies with a box office of 17 to 20 million U.S. dollars, but "Frozen" alone won it all over the world A box office of [-] billion US dollars! This is not counting the peripheral derivatives that have been sold like crazy all over the world. I heard that "Frozen" has sold more than [-] billion US dollars in such a short time. It is crazy! The company's valuation is If the profit is several times, how much can Huashang be worth this year?"

"Also, some time ago, the Group C round of financing raised 5 million U.S. dollars, and the company's current valuation is 50 billion U.S. dollars. Taking into account all these obvious things, it is impossible for Li Mu to be worth less than 150 billion U.S. dollars this year. US dollars, and other rich people other than Li Mu, I estimate that the highest is about 100 billion US dollars. So this year is not a question of whether Li Mu can become the richest man in China, but a question of whether he may be more than 2 billion US dollars away from No.50! "

Liu Xiaoli's eyelids twitched!
"This Li Mu is really... the richest man in China who is less than 30 years old, and it is possible to pull away the second place with about 50 billion U.S. dollars? It's really... amazing!"

"Also, Yifei's marriage can't be delayed any longer."

……

In the past few days in my hometown, the company's affairs can't be left behind. On the one hand, Li Mu and Liu Siying talked about Jing Tian and "Si Teng" on the phone; The schedule has been preliminarily set.

In the first half of 2013, apart from the upcoming "Monster Hunt", Huashang Media still has at least five films to be released.

Among them, "To Our Dying Youth", which gathers all the little flowers of the new generation, has been officially scheduled for March 3.

"The Fault in Our Stars" directed by Li Mu himself is initially scheduled to be released on April 4.

"Send You A Little Red Flower", directed by Li Mu himself, starring Li Mu and Liu Yifei, is scheduled for April 4, a week later than "The Fault in Our Stars".

"The Hunger Games 2" directed by Li Mu and starring Liu Yifei is scheduled for May.

"Wolf Warrior", directed by Lin Chaoxian and starring Wu Jing, has just wrapped up. If there is no accident, the schedule will be set after June.

……

In a blink of an eye, February 2013, 2 was the first day of the Lunar New Year. On this day, "Monster Hunt" produced by Huashang Media and directed by Xu Chengyi, and "Journey to the West" directed by Zhou Xingchi "Conquering the Devil" is officially released nationwide.

Regarding the box office prospects of "Monster Hunt" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", to be honest, the industry is very optimistic.

First of all, whether it is Huashang Media or Zhou Xingchi, the box office appeal of both is equally strong.

Secondly, the pre-sale box office of the two films is also very good. Before the official release of the film, the pre-sale box office of "Monster Hunt" has reached 1.7 million yuan, and the pre-sale box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has also reached 1.4 million. as much.

According to the industry's more optimistic estimates, the final box office of the two films is likely to be as high as 13 billion yuan.

The internal evaluation figure of Huashang Media is even higher, reaching as much as 15 billion yuan.

As soon as this assessment figure came out, there was a lot of discussion within the group, and a considerable number of executives felt that this assessment figure was too optimistic.

"Don't look at "Frozen" which took 23 billion at the box office, and think that 15 billion box office seems easy. In fact, there are not many films in the entire Chinese film history with a box office of 15 billion."

"That's right. According to the pre-sale figures, market research, and previous prediction formulas, the final box office of "Monster Hunt" is indeed likely to exceed the 15 billion yuan mark, but the formula is a formula, and the reality is reality. The formula predicted Being accurate doesn’t mean it will always be accurate in the future.”

"Looking at the data of 15 billion is not a big problem, I intuitively think it is unlikely."

"Now the Internet is saying, don't look at the current pre-sale box office of "Monster Hunt" is higher, but after the film is officially released, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has a high probability of overtaking. The high pre-sale of "Monster Hunt" is more It still comes from the audience's trust in Huashang Media and the significantly higher number of films compared to "Journey to the West". As for how much box office the two films can get, it depends on the quality of the films. There is some truth to it."

"Everyone has an intuition that it may be difficult to get 15 billion for "Monster Hunt"? Speaking of which, my intuition is exactly the opposite of everyone. I will definitely have no problem getting over 15 billion. Let's not talk about anything else. The schedule of "Monster Hunt" is Do you remember who made the final decision? It was Mr. Li! Mr. Li has always attached great importance to the Spring Festival period. Since Mr. Li arranged for "Monster Hunting" to be released during the Spring Festival this time, I want to come here in Mr. Li's intuition. The box office of this film is likely to be very, very high, and my instinct is to trust Mr. Li's instinct."

"Old Zhang, what you said is too superstitious. Mr. Li is very powerful, and Mr. Li's vision is very vicious. We all admit this, but it's not to the point of Zhuge Liang's magic tricks, right? "Monster Hunt" is good. The movie is true, but it should not be at the phenomenal level."

"agree!"

This is the inside of Huashang Media. When it comes to predicting the box office, there is basically no one in China that is more accurate than Huashang Media. It is not because of anything else, but because Huashang Media has the big killer Maoyan movie in its hands.

But even within Huashang Media, many people still feel that it is too optimistic to expect a box office of 15 billion based on "Monster Hunt".

External forecasts are even lower.

As a result, when the film's first-day box office data came out, the entire industry was stunned.

2.18 billion yuan!

It passed [-] million on the first day!Even higher than the highest single-day score of "Frozen".

You must know that the total domestic box office of "Frozen" is as high as 23.45 billion yuan!

As for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" directed by Zhou Xingchi, the box office on the first day was as high as 1.75 million yuan, which also far exceeded the industry's previous predictions.

Speaking of which, the word-of-mouth of the two films is not very good, but the box office performance is a burst of one after another.

At the same time, this is also the first time that the mainland film market has exceeded the 4 million yuan mark in a day, and the entire industry has become extremely excited for a while.

The market is big, and everyone can make money!
And through the box office hits of "Monster Hunt" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the strong gold-absorbing ability of the Spring Festival stalls has been fully revealed.

Then came October 2th.

"Monster Hunt" has a daily box office of 2.24 million yuan, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has a daily box office of 1.84 million yuan.

And then on February 2th.

"Monster Hunt" has a daily box office of 2.31 million yuan, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has a daily box office of 2.04 million yuan.

Then an unprecedented scene appeared.

In the Huaxia film market, two films with a daily box office of over 2 million yuan appeared at the same time!
The Spring Festival stalls are so scary!
