China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 93
Li Mu is the soul of the new movie, that's right, everyone agrees; Li Mu is one of the producers of the new movie, he is the director, screenwriter, and supporting role. Li Mu's work is very important, even irreplaceable. That's right, but the $1000 million director and actor's remuneration, plus a 15% investment share reward, isn't that too exaggerated?
It's very simple, there is only so much money, if you take more, someone will inevitably take less. This movie is inherently risky, and Li Mu cut off 15% of the share with one knife. It must have increased greatly.

The conference room fell into a brief silence, and just when the director Yan Yiyun was about to speak, Han Sanping suddenly smiled heartily:
"It seems that several CEOs still have doubts about this plan. Yes, the cost of 1.2 million U.S. dollars requires at least 3.5 million global box office to make a profit. The pressure on profitability is so huge that 15% of it was cut off at once. Investment dividend share, let alone you, even I can't help but feel guilty."

"what?"

Several bosses looked at each other, everyone was fooled by Han Dong’s words, it was you who proposed to let Li Mu share 15% more, now you are the one who has doubts about this plan, Han Dong, what are you selling in this gourd today? medicine? "

"Let me say a few words." Yan Yiyun said suddenly at this moment, "We Xiying fully agree with Director Li Mu's taking this income. It's not just because of the inextricable connection between Director Li Mu and Xiying Studio."

"I am the director of Xiying Film Studio. I have more say than anyone else in the development of Xiying Film Studio over the years. Everyone must have heard about the state of Xiying Film Studio before 04. However, in recent years, Xiying Film Studio has changed. Come alive, not only come alive, but live more and more nourished, because of what? Because Xiying has participated in the investment of every work directed by Li Mu, because every work directed by Li Mu has made money, and it is a big profit earn. Our Xiying’s attitude is clear and affirmative, that is, we fully support it.”

Li Mu: "Director Yan..."

Yan Yiyun smiled and said: "The group's high-level meeting has passed. Your uncle Liu Xiaowu has been promoted to the deputy manager of the film and television production division of Western Film Group, and he will take up his post next week."

Li Mu: "Huh?"

Han Sanping suddenly laughed louder: "Look, look, what is the natal family? This is the natal family."

As he said that, he changed his tone and said seriously: "I know that everyone has doubts about this plan, but I believe that when I tell the reason why I proposed this plan, everyone will happily accept it."

Happy to accept?
How can it be!

Make sure you don't cry, okay?

1.2 million US dollars of investment, 15% of the investment dividend share, this is cutting flesh from several bosses!
It is possible for the bosses to hold their noses to accept it. After all, the probability of making money in this project is still very high, but it is absolutely impossible for the bosses to happily accept the plan!
It's just that the eloquence is so good that it can make the dead alive!
Han Sanping said seriously: "The other day I talked with Li Mu about the prospect of this project. Guess what Li Mu said at that time?"

“李沐说这个项目不拿6亿美金的全球票房就算票房惨败。6亿美金，那就是46亿人民币！现阶段3亿多人民币就能拿全国票房冠军，现在李沐直接张口就是全国冠军的15倍！真是好大的口气、好狂的年轻人！”

"I, Han Sanping's idiot, Li Mu, is in his thirties, and I have seen some of the market. Now that the younger generation has already said that they will win the global box office of 6 million U.S. dollars, I am really proud. I don't think those of us who are seniors can really be accepted. It's down."

"So I immediately said, if "Inception" can really win a global box office of 6 million U.S. dollars this time, then you, Li Mu, will get 1000% of the investment dividend on top of the 15 million U.S. dollar director's and actor's remuneration. share, if you can’t win the global box office of 6 million US dollars, you won’t have this extra reward, I’ll talk to the other bosses.”

"hiss……"

The brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other, and then looked at Li Mu together.

Good guy, this young man is going crazy!How dare he say it! A global box office of 6 million US dollars, this is going to God!
Yu Dong felt the nerves in his cheeks beating uncontrollably.

Crazy, what a crazy word!
A Chinese film with a global box office of 6 million US dollars?I dare not think about it, anyway, Yu Dong really dare not think about it!It is said that Yu Dong is such an arrogant person, he dare not even dream about it, but now Li Mu not only thinks about it, but also shouts it out.

Wang Changtian felt that today's trip was really not in vain, and it was really an eye-opener!

The global box office of 6 million US dollars, someone really dares to say it seriously!
Did these companies talk about projects like this before?

It seems that I have missed a lot of good shows before!

He didn't know whether Li Mu was really sure or just boasting, he only knew that he was deeply shocked now.

Yan Yiyun thought he had heard it wrong, but when he saw the unbelievable expressions on the faces of the other bosses, Yan Yiyun's heart immediately blossomed.

Or else we are powerful people from Xiying, a few words have overwhelmed half of China's film industry.

A simple math problem, if "Inception" can really win a global box office of 6 million US dollars, it is completely acceptable to reward Li Mu with a 15% investment dividend share, because after Li Mu gets more points, everyone will also earn a lot of money .

If "Inception" can't win a global box office of 6 million US dollars, then Li Mu won't be able to score 15% more, and then it will be no problem.

"agree."

"no problem."

"It's good to be young, full of vitality, agree."

"That's settled then."

Seeing several bosses express their opinions one after another, Han Sanping smiled and said: "How about it, what did I say? Sure enough, when the conditions were mentioned, the bosses all agreed cheerfully."

……

With a basic salary of 1000 million US dollars for directors, screenwriters, and actors, 15% of the investment dividend share, and the wild words of winning 6 million US dollars in the global box office, today's Li Mu is considered to be in the limelight, but when he returns from China Film to his home Huashang, he will soon I was taught a lesson by reality - Tom Hanks, Leonardo, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, and Li Mu's invitations to star were all rejected.

Well, it seems that Li Mu is going to visit the United States himself.

……

Beijing City, at the entrance of a movie theater.

Two girls wearing peaked caps, big sunglasses, and masks, who covered themselves tightly, walked out of the theater arm in arm.

"Li Lianhua's acting is really good. According to the news, "Super Body" has a domestic box office of 3.1 million, which is really amazing."

"The global box office was already 3.54 million US dollars yesterday, and the film will be released for a while. The global box office of "Assassin" with Cheng Long and Li's peak confrontation is 3.55 million US dollars, and the global box office of "Taken" is 2.8 million US dollars. Hey, Director Li Mu only Two years older than me."

"Sister Mi, how do I feel that you can play the role of Lucy? Besides, your figure is much better than Li Lianhua's. Maybe the movie will earn more money if you act in it." One of the girls suddenly said.

"If you say that you can act Shanshan, your figure is no worse than mine."

The two people who spoke were Yang Mi and Yuan Shanshan.

The two are classmates of Beijing Film Academy and good girlfriends. Yesterday, they read the news that "Super Body" will surpass "Assassin" at the global box office. They were both surprised, so they decided to watch the movie together today.

"What's the use of having a good figure, and what's the use of being fit or not? How could director Li Mu use us to play Lucy? He doesn't necessarily know us. He might know you. You played Guo Xiang before." Yuan Shanshan sighed.

Yang Mi asked: "Then let me ask you, if there is a very good opportunity in front of you now, as long as you go to sleep with director Li Mu, the role of Lucy will be given to you, if it is you, would you do it?"

"How is it possible!" Yuan Shanshan looked at Yang Mi and said, "I don't need to give Li Mu a role if he wants to sleep, and I won't make any demands on him."

"Ah?" Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, "Just let him take advantage of you for nothing?"

"Taking advantage?" Yuan Shanshan said with a smile, "To be honest, if I sleep with a man like Li Mu, I think I will take advantage. What about you, Miss Mi? If Li Mu hints that you sleep with him, he will give you a favor Will you do the role?"

"I...I..." Yang Mi opened her mouth, and the words that she was about to blurt out that she must refuse came out:
"I do not know."
