Chapter 268 Supporting Liu Shishi, 4.82 Billion Copyright Trading Ceiling

Li Mu won the Oscar again, but this time he really didn't go for the award.

"Frozen" not only has an amazing box office, but also has a huge IP value. The IP value mentioned here does not only refer to movies, but includes all fields such as movies, TV, comics, and video games. Among all the IPs that have been born in the world for more than 100 years, "Frozen" can rank in more than 20—this is a huge inexhaustible gold mine.

Oscars are not unusual for Li Mu, but for others it is not the same thing at all.

Not long after winning the award, he received a call from Brother Cheng Long, who was even more excited than himself for winning the award.

"Congratulations, congratulations, it's amazing, you won another prize."

"The younger generation is awesome. You are much better than our generation. When we entered Hollywood, we were looked down upon, blamed, and bullied. We worked hard for a long time, paid a lot, and then gradually got better. You are amazing. You conquered the Americans from the very beginning. Your first book sold tens of millions of copies. It's amazing. Now the Oscars are even more impressive."

"At that time, we were able to get 1 million at the box office, wow, that's amazing! Your boy is 17 billion, US dollars!"

"Seeing that you are developing so smoothly, I am very pleased and very happy. Not only you, I am very happy that any Chinese can get up."

He talked a lot in bits and pieces, and it could be heard that he was really happy for Li Mu.

In addition, Li Lianjie also specially called to congratulate Li Mu.

Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" in the original time and space has achieved great success. Li Lianlian instructed Wu Jing to "tweet his tail" to be a man, to be humble and then humble, and cautious and cautious.But Li Lianjie never said anything similar to Li Mu. For example, this time, what Li Lianjie said at the end was that everyone is waiting for Li Mu to achieve more brilliant achievements in the future.

In addition, directors Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Han Sanping and Han Dong also had phone calls, and although Li Lianhua, Gong Li and others did not have phone calls, they also sent text messages.

There is also a lot of enthusiasm on the domestic Internet, but to be honest, it is still far behind when Li Mu won the Oscar for Best Picture for the first time, and when Gong Li won the first Oscar in Asia.

That time was unprecedented and a historic breakthrough. Now that Li Mu has already shined in three Oscars, this "Best Animated Feature Film Award" seems to be nothing unusual.

It can only be said that domestic netizens are all "big trotters", and now they don't even care about the Oscars, but South Korean netizens are sour.

"What's the background of that Li Mu? Is he a mixed race? Does he have any background? What's going on? It's been several Oscars, right? It makes me wonder if Oscars can be bought with money."

"Hollywood is conquering cities all over the world, and Li Mu is already the only one in the world who conquers cities in Hollywood's hometown. I am afraid that such a powerful person will not be produced in the entertainment industry in my country within ten years."

"Impossible to produce within 20 years, the entertainment industry in our country has been squeezed too badly, the secret filming incident, the suicide of a female artist, if these things are not resolved, it is impossible to produce top talents."

"Jin Xishan saw him when he was filming "Mythology". He was still very ordinary at that time, but he didn't expect to develop into this now."

Some Chinese translated the discussion of Korean netizens back to China, and netizens said that the Koreans broke their defenses.

"It's so funny. I watched it for a long time, and I feel that the Koreans are very sour this time."

"Korean netizens broke their defenses this time. Someone mentioned the tragic incident the year before last, and then the comment area exploded."

"I want to ask if no one said that Li Mu is Korean?"

"I didn't see that, no matter how jealous Koreans are, they can't be so stupid, right? Li Muzu has been from Xijing for several lifetimes, so he can't be counted as South Koreans, right?"

"If you don't say that Koreans are petty, an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film is so jealous, it seems that there are too many Oscars, but it's just like that."

"This time Li Mu won the award, I didn't even have any waves in my heart."

"That's right, an award that was selected by more than 5000 foreign old men and full of various public relations and black-box operations. What's there to be jealous of? It's inexplicable!"

"Where is this? Let me tell you, since "Gravity", I don't think Li Mu's movies with a global box office of less than 10 billion dollars are anything special."

Good guy, they are all big pig's trotters.

After receiving the award, Li Mu went on to film "Now You See Me", while in China, the promotional activities for "To Youth" are in full swing.

The five beauties of "To Youth" - Tong Liya, Yang Mi, Bai Bing, Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi, with this lineup, it is a beautiful scenery wherever you go. In addition, director Xue Xiaolu directed it, and Huashang Media produced it. As a result, the market attention has exploded!
But what followed were some not-so-harmonious voices. For example, some netizens pointed out that Liu Shishi, Tong Liya, Yang Mi and other four people standing together are obviously not at the same level. Although she has "Scary Step by Step", although she and Zhao Liying, Bai Bing, Yang Mi and others belong to the new four small female roles, it is an indisputable fact that she is obviously out of date.

Tong Liya has "Love Story in Beijing" and "Cohabitation Beyond Time and Space"; Yang Mi's "Gongsuo Xinyu" has "Shark Beach", and "Shark Beach" is a dark horse at the global box office; Zhao Liying has "Shan Shan Comes" and "33 Days of Broken Love";

Everyone wants TV dramas, TV dramas, blockbuster movies, blockbuster movies, what does Liu Shishi have? "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Scary Step by Step"?It is indeed not bad, but compared with those few, it has indeed been widened.

I don't have deep feelings usually, but when these five people got together to promote the same film, the gap became obvious.

"I feel that Liu Shishi's new four little female roles are not worthy of the name!"

"It's really outdated."

"Actually, the reason why Li Mu counted her among the new four young actresses is entirely because the four of them cannot all belong to Hua Shang. In other words, Liu Shishi is just a tool to show justice. Isn't it normal to be outdated?"

"Some time ago, Liu Shishi and Tang Ren had a lot of trouble over the termination of the contract. Why didn't there be any movement afterward?"

"I heard that Hua Shang is not too active in signing Liu Shishi, signing with other companies might as well stay in Sugarman."

"It's better to change the new four little female roles. Recently, Hua Shang seems to be favoring Song Yi and Jin Chen. In two years, they will overtake Liu Shishi. I think it's better to just choose one of these two and replace them."

"Li Bi is also good."

Liu Shishi's fans were really pissed off by this wave of attacks from black fans, so they launched a fierce counterattack.However, it is an indisputable fact that Liu Shishi is gradually falling behind in Huadan, which makes people very upset, so someone sent out a soul torture: "I never heard that Shi Shi wants to quit Huashang Media. Is it really because Huashang is not optimistic about it?"

Liu Shishi himself was also frustrated, his development was not as good as the others. Usually everyone develops in his own way, you are worse than yourself, and I am not jealous, but when you all attended the event to promote the new film, all these five people were compared together, and then it was obvious that you were behind, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

It seems that this Huadan is just trying to catch the attention of those few, but in fact Director Li really liked her back then!She has indeed given such a good resource as "Scary Step by Step" to her!President Li said Hua Dan, and she didn't call it a self-proclaimed one. Why did she become so popular?
The question is, is Mr. Li really not optimistic about himself now?

Anyway, I'm still very confused.

Naturally, Li Mu also saw the relevant discussions, and he specifically asked Liu Siying. According to Liu Siying, the company was in contact with Liu Shishi, but Liu Shishi was still hesitant.

First of all, in order to keep this first sister, Tang Ren really gave very generous conditions.

Secondly, the conditions given by Huashang are actually mediocre. The most important thing is that Li Mu didn’t promise to personally select suitable resources. Moreover, Huashang Media has too many female stars in the same niche.

But even so, Liu Shishi himself is more inclined to sign with Huashang Media, and the current situation is more similar to the stage of bargaining and protection.

In the end, Li Mu said to Liu Siying: "Why don't you just sign the contract? As for the resource issue after joining Huashang, I believe you can handle it well. Also tell her, I will try to arrange some suitable resources for her."

"Ok."

There are indeed not many suitable resources for Liu Shishi in Li Mu's mind, but after all, he has a world's film and television library in his mind, and he can still pick out a few suitable ones from every corner after a good search.

In fact, it is not difficult to choose a suitable TV series for Liu Shishi. Although it may not be very exciting, it is not impossible to choose after all. The real difficulty is the movie.

For a while, Li Mu really didn't have a movie that was particularly suitable for her to be the heroine.

In terms of TV dramas, "The Legend of the Female Doctor Ming Concubine", "Every Step", "Golden Years" and so on are not bad, but they are not very good resources after all.

Liu Shishi joined Huashang Media, and the attention of the entertainment industry should still be very high. If Huashang Media only provided these resources, it would not be in line with Huashang's current reputation of being awesome!
Aren't you Hua Shang amazing?Isn't it popular with others?What's the matter, Xiaohuadan came to your Huashang, and this is the end?It seems to be very ordinary!

So when Liu Shishi really comes in, at least the first resource will cause some repercussions.

After much deliberation, Li Mu set his target on Yu Zheng again.

In fact, in Li Mu's opinion, Yu Zheng is still very talented, and Yuan Shikong has indeed made a lot of people famous, and let's take "Gongsuo Xinyu" as an example. Although the word-of-mouth does not seem to be as good as "Bubu Jingxin", the ratings are really much better than "Bubu Jingxin".

Including the later "Story of Yanxi Palace", it is undoubtedly a phenomenon-level web drama.In fact, strictly speaking, the screenwriter of "Story of Yanxi Palace" is not Yu Zheng, but the screenwriter is indeed brought out by Yu Zheng on weekends, and the main tone of the story is also grasped by Yu Zheng.

The original heroine of "Story of Yanxi Palace" Wu Jinyan and Li Mu are relatively indifferent. If Hua Shang wants to copy this drama, the heroine will definitely have to be replaced. It is not impossible to replace the heroine with Liu Shishi. With the plot, style and popularity of "Story of Yanxi Palace" used as Liu Shishi's signing ceremony, Hua Shang will definitely not lose Hua Shang's reputation.

The only problem is that it has nothing to do with the plot. Li Mu feels that his Hua Shang seems to have filmed too many Qing palace dramas.

But it seems that the drama "Story of Yanxi Palace" is not bad.

And movies.

Li Mu thought of a Korean time-traveling film called "I'm Going to See You Now". The film received a high score of 12 from 8.3 people on Douban, so the word of mouth must be quite good.

The heroine of the original film is Son Yejin, who is also one of the goddesses in Korea. Li Mu thinks that Liu Shishi's acting is not a big problem, and this kind of movie still favors the heroine.

Sign Liu Shishi to Huashang, and then prepare a TV series and a movie for her. As for how far she can develop in the later stage, it depends on her personal fortune.

On the other side, Liu Shishi finally confirmed that he would sign a contract with Huashang Media.

The people from Huashang told her that Li Mu would personally pay attention to the resource issue after she joined, and it was enough to have this verbal promise not written into the contract, and she believed that her decision this time would definitely not be wrong.

At the very least, after joining Hua Shang, the sequel of "Scary Bubu" will definitely fall on her head.

……

At the same time, "Obstetrician" starring Tong Liya, which was signed years ago, has finally officially premiered nationwide.

The plot of "Obstetrician" is a bit bloody, but it is not bad in medical dramas. In the previous life, the ratings of this drama were good. Tong Liya's popularity in this life is much stronger than that in the previous life, so the ratings of "Obstetrician" are naturally better than those in the original time and space.

The average audience rating of the first broadcast was about 1.4%, and gradually climbed to 1.7% in the later period, and the highest rating of a single episode was about 2.2%-this rating is already quite explosive among provincial satellite TV.

In fact, at this stage, as long as the ratings of a drama can break 1, it is fine, if it breaks 1.5%, it is considered a hit, and if it breaks 2%, it must be a phenomenon.

"Obstetrician" is not a phenomenon, but it is still worthy of being a blockbuster, and the direct impact of "Obstetrician"'s gratifying ratings is that the few unaired dramas in Hua Shang's hands are more valuable.

This time, Hua Shang took the opportunity to sell "The Legend of Chu Qiao" starring Bai Bing, Li Mi and others.

Suzhou Satellite TV and Jinmen Satellite TV jointly won the first round, with a single episode priced at 300 million yuan, and the second and third rounds sold another 120 million episodes, while the online copyright of the TV series was bought by Youku at a price of 300 million yuan per episode.

The previous Huashang dramas were all eaten by Tencent Video and iQiyi. Youku saw that the development of these two companies was getting better and better, and Huashang dramas accounted for a large part of the credit, so they were finally willing to spend their money this time.

The price of 300 million yuan for a single episode of online copyright is actually not too high in the current market, but the problem is that "Chu Qiao Biography" has too many episodes, as high as 67 episodes.

That is to say, this time Huashang Media sold more than 2 million yuan for the network copyright alone. If the proceeds from the sale to the TV station were added, the total copyright price of "Chu Qiao Biography" this time was as high as 4.82 million yuan.

Nearly 5 million!

The ceiling of the total copyright price of domestic film and television dramas was once again refreshed by Huashang Media.
