Chapter 121 Schedule
Li Mu's thoughts stopped for a moment, and he suddenly seemed to remember something.

I quickly patted my head. I have been so busy recently that I really forgot about it.

"Don't worry, I promise to take it back!"

In the end, Li Mu felt that a person should keep his promise.

Mother Li hung up the phone with satisfaction, then felt uneasy and called again.

In Liu Yifei's villa in the imperial capital, two idle people were doing their own things, preparing to celebrate the New Year.

"Chang Chang, where are you going to spend this year?" Liu Yifei knew Shu Chang's situation and planned to ask the other party if it was suitable, she could spend it with her.

Before Shu Chang could reply, a ringtone came from Liu Yifei's phone.

Picking up the phone and seeing the notes on the screen, Liu Yifei hurriedly took the phone and walked out of the room.

Shu Chang was confused. After all, Liu Yifei rarely answered the phone behind her back.

There is definitely something weird, Shu Chang guessed.

After a few minutes, Liu Yifei returned to the room with a flushed face and a somewhat troubled expression.

"Hehe, did Li Mu call you?" Shu Chang immediately became possessed by the gossip.

Liu Yifei quickly shook her head.

"Then why are you looking so red?"

"Fuck me," Liu Yifei said weakly.

At this point, Shu Chang became more energetic.

The little theory expert went online instantly to answer questions and discuss with Liu Yifei.

"So she definitely wants to invite you to her home. I guarantee this with the credibility of my future boyfriend." Shu Chang patted his chest and vowed.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes. If you have confidence, you should use your own credibility.

"But it depends on Li Mu's intention. If he doesn't want to take you back, then there's no way."

Shu Chang still pointed out the core points.

"Well!" Liu Yifei held her chin with both hands, looking sad and sweet at the same time. The tangled look was clearly reflected on Liu Yifei's face.

"Sissi, do you want to prepare gifts in advance? I feel like I'm in a hurry." Shu Chang felt that there was a high probability that he would make it this time.

"My mother is ready!" Liu Yifei blurted out.

"What? When did Auntie prepare it?" Shu Chang was a little shocked. This preparation was too fast.

"I told her last time and she prepared it for me in advance."

After listening to Liu Yifei's description and looking at Liu Yifei's clear and stupid eyes, Shu Chang said with a speechless expression.

"Haha, you are so obvious. And since you have a friend, you should read Li Mu's ID card number directly. With your stupid brain, who else can you deceive? You said you can besides me, you can Who did you deceive?"

"But Auntie is indeed foresighted."

Shu Chang gave Liu Xiaoli full marks for this operation.

The two of them chatted wordlessly. Shu Chang was just a theoretical king. When he asked practical questions, he suddenly lost his voice.

I only learned four words and answered all questions.

Liu Yifei also understood that there was no chance of relying on her.

At this time, Li Mu's call came in again. Liu Yifei thought about it and pressed the answer button directly in the room.

When communicating with Li Mu, Liu Yifei was not so cautious. She was smiling happily by the bed, dangling her feet in the air, and chatting non-stop.

Anyway, Shu Chang finally heard Liu Yifei's silvery voice asking: "Okay! What gifts should I bring to your house?"

I knew instantly that this time I was going to make a reservation.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei fell directly on the bed.

"What did Li Mu say? What should I prepare?"

"Cigarettes, wine, tea." Liu Yifei counted her fingers.

"Are these too ordinary?"

"I don't know either. Let's buy it based on this first, and then go to my mother." Liu Yifei felt that she had never encountered such a difficult problem in acting. At this time, she had to rely on experienced people.

The invitation to the Spring Festival Gala has been sent to Li Mu's email address to attend as a guest.

If it had been at any other time, Li Mu would have agreed.

However, this time the situation was special, so Li Mu also called specifically and declined the invitation.

Oscar, "The Departed" is very popular, it is definitely a big hit.

Liu Qiangwei also directly praised "The Departed" in the media, after all, it was adapted from his "Infernal Affairs".

Li Mu declined to be a guest at the Oscars this time, but only served as one of the thousands of judges.

He does not need to increase his popularity by walking on the Oscar red carpet. In the end, the director still relies on the performance of his work to speak for himself.

The Oscars have reached the most critical moment. This month, there will be a banquet for each crew from beginning to end. From morning to the next morning, as long as you want to participate, you can participate until you vomit.

Only then will you feel the lavishness of capitalism. The public relations fees for the Oscars are an astronomical figure every time.

However, this astronomical figure has created new huge value for award-winning films and people.

Fame and fortune, at the moment of winning the award, seemed to be at your fingertips.

This is a closed loop, endless
After the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, thousands of film premieres were held in full swing, and it was also the trading place for major copyright developers.

As a result, on the first day, big news came out.

The "Genius Training Camp" hosted by the Youth Forum kicked off, and Jia Zhangke officially took the principal's seat.

This news immediately spread back to China and caused a sensation. After all, this is a great news for new domestic directors.Those who have one's own people and those who do not have one's own people are two different things. The number of domestic registrations has increased sharply.

After Li Mu explained the follow-up matters of "2012", he returned directly to China.

The post-production of Mengying Media's second TV series "Struggle" has been completed and is in contact with major interested TV stations.

This time, the premiere price is not that cheap.

Mengying's "Soldier Assault" has already proven itself, not to mention that this time it is an urban life drama, which is even more snatched up.

"We will give everyone an extra three months' salary as bonus this year." Li Mu returned to Mengying and explained to Liu Weijuan, the general manager at this time.

This year, Mengying’s movies and TV series are blooming on both sides and making a lot of money. It’s time for employees to go home and have a good year.

Not many companies were able to give bonuses to their employees in 07, and even fewer were able to give them bonuses for three months.

For a time, the news of Mengying Media spread throughout the circle.

"Damn it, Mengying has such good treatment and such a high bonus, is it too late to go now?"

"Mengying Media destroys the industry ecology. This is unsustainable. You have to consider whether other companies can accept it."

"You're upstairs, you're just mentally ill!"

For a while, there were both praises and slanders, but most of them were workers who gave praise.

At this time, Li Mu and Mengying's senior management are still formulating development plans for next year.

After a morning meeting, Li Mu set the development direction for Mengying Media this year and will continue to work hard in movies and TV series.

Not only for self-produced movies, but also for good movies and TV series, Mengying Media can participate in the investment.

Finally, Li Mu announced a new plan, which was also inspired by the Berlin Film Festival's "Genius Training Camp."

If you want to improve the level of the domestic film industry, director talents are indispensable.

Starting from this year, Mengying Media will allocate 2000 million yuan in funds every year to support new directors. Each invested director will receive at least 500 million yuan, and the number of people supported each year ranges from 2 to 4.

You must know that 500 million at this time is enough to shoot some low-cost comedies or literary films. This is also a disguised form for Mengying to cultivate a group of new talents and establish personal relationships.

However, the final selection of personnel rests with Li Mu.

After finishing his work in the company, Li Mu also took a look at the post-production of "The Intouchables".

The rough cut of the movie has been completed. Li Mu took a look at the rough cut and communicated with Zhang Yifan for a long time.

This film was to be exhibited at an exhibition, and editing was a top priority. If Li Mu hadn't had too much time, he would have prepared to do it himself.

Therefore, Li Mu also specially invited Zhang Yifan, who graduated from Nortel and is Pastor Li's brother.

I just finished editing Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" from my last film.

Zhang Yifan was a little surprised when he first saw Li Mu's scene.

After all, such a literary and artistic movie tone is no longer common, and every detail is exquisite.

"Junior brother, no wonder the three European conferences are clamoring for films. If I were the chairman, I couldn't help it!" Zhang Yifan sighed with emotion. This young man is really amazing.

Li Mu smiled and did not answer.

"The Intouchables" is expected to be produced next month, which is about the same time as the Cannes appointment.

In the circle, there is no feeling of the New Year, everyone who should be busy is busy.

When Li Mu arrived at China Film Academy, Han Sanping was still giving instructions to his subordinates on various matters.

There will be a meeting not long after the Chinese New Year. The previous one has already decided to quit, and now Han Sanping has completely taken over all matters of China Film.

"Director Han, I have to make an appointment next time I see you."

Han Sanping said angrily: "You don't even come here a few times a year, so there's no need."

Li Mu grinned and asked casually: "Director Han, did Lu Xun really invest 2 million in his new movie? He is very high-profile in the media."

Han Sanjing looked at Li Mu as if he were a fool, "I don't dare if he dares, but Lu Tianming has found a lot of people."

Han Sanping didn't continue talking and stopped.

The two of them did not continue to talk about this matter. Recently, various problems with the Lu Xun crew have been revealed in the media. Some people even made a lot of money through the extra actors' wages.

Han Sanping directly criticized the producers sent by China Film Group.

"What's the schedule for your movie?"

Han Sanping took out a stack of documents from the drawer and handed them to Li Mu.

Li Mu flipped through it casually. The best time for his movie would be after the Cannes International Film Festival. In fact, he had no choice.

It is impossible to take a literary film and just schedule it with a Hollywood blockbuster.

"Then May 5th." Li Mu pointed at the date and confirmed the time.

It happened to be the day after Cannes ended, so I used Cannes for promotion.

Han Sanping nodded and closed the schedule file.

"When is that "Kung Fu Panda" going to be released?"

Han Sanping stared at this movie for a long time.

This is a movie that can promote domestic culture, and Han Sanping is very interested in it.

Whether there are any outstanding political achievements this year, we may have to rely on them.

Li Mu thought for a moment: "The production is going fast. I'll see the finished film later and then set the schedule. I'll try to release it this year."

Han Sanping nodded with satisfaction, as long as he can attend this year.
