Chapter 182 Smart?

Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu's dazed look and couldn't help but wonder: "Ah Mu, why have you been so distracted since you came back from the United States?"

"I heard David talk a lot about the financial crisis, and I felt a little emotional." Li Mu came to his senses from his memories. David had told him a lot about the financial crisis in the past few days, which touched him a little.

Liu Yifei stared at him with interest. If the director said that he was impressed, he would most likely want to make a movie.

"Do you want to film this story?" The financial crisis in the United States sounds like a good subject and is close to reality.

"I'm still thinking about it, so I guess I won't be filming it for a while." Li Mu thought for a moment, and realized that filming the story he just recalled would be a bit of a waste now.

"Ok."

Since Li Mu is filming a story about the financial crisis in the United States, it has nothing to do with her. In all likelihood, it is a foreign language film.

"Aren't you planning to make a movie soon?"

Liu Yifei looked at him with big round eyes. It was unscientific. Nortel directors were all energetic.

"Do you really want me to take pictures?" Li Mu hugged the girl in front of him and stroked her hair.

Liu Yifei shook her head, "It's better if you don't take pictures, stay with me more."

In the past few days, Li Mu concentrated on writing this script, and even called David and asked him to collect more information.

"Boss, are you inspired?" David felt like he just said it casually those days, but he didn't expect it to trigger the movie switch.

"Hurry up and stop the ink stains. Get me the information I want as soon as possible." Now is the time of the Great Depression, and these information are so easy to find.

"Okay, boss, give me two days." David quickly started working.

Late at night, Liu Yifei made light tea for Li Mu and brought it in. When she saw Li Mu working seriously, there was a different look in his beautiful eyes.

Li Mu is not used to drinking coffee and usually drinks tea to wake up.

I twisted my stiff neck, writing this script in the past few days and barely leaving the house.

"Can I read this story?" Liu Yifei put down her tea cup and was very interested in Li Mu's latest script, mainly because it was about what was happening.

Li Mu gave up his seat, picked up the tea next to him, and tasted it carefully. He felt sober in an instant.

This script is a juxtaposition of romance and gloom, and Li Mu couldn't help but be drawn into it when he was writing it.

Liu Yifei looked at the script seriously. The story was actually not complicated, it was just a shell of the economic depression.

After finishing a cup of tea, seeing Liu Yifei still immersed in the plot, she just went to pour another cup and came back, waiting quietly.

"I really want to act, and I feel like I can do it too."

After Liu Yifei finished reading, she became more artistic and said sweetly.

"You're not of the right age and can't act like that."

"It's a great story, why don't you film it right away?" Liu Yifei felt that it would be the most appropriate time to film it. Moreover, looking at the story of the script, Liu Yifei knew what Li Mu wanted to do, and she felt that the opportunity was great.

"Not yet, just wait."

Li Mu sent it to David to register, and the script was temporarily sealed.

"it's a pity."

Liu Yifei was still thinking about the story she just read. It was indeed a wonderful journey.

"Painted Skin" finally broke through 3 million. China Film and Mengying helped it at the last moment and forced it into the 3 million level, earning 3.01 million.

In the words of Han Sanping, 3 million sounds better. This year, three pure domestic films will exceed 3 million. There will be more words to write a report.

Lu Yang was happy. After all, there were more members in the 3 million club. Although he was at the bottom, he had finally reached the threshold.

Mengying Media will also gain new 3 million club directors, which will make actors outside the industry even more popular.

As time goes by, the battle for the Lunar New Year stalls is coming soon.

This year's Lunar New Year period is a competition between China Film and Huayi Film and Television. For this reason, Zha Lang even organized a competition to compete for the box office.

Han Sanping was also a face-saving person, and even called him to ask if "Mei Lanfang" had a chance to beat "If You Are the One", which made Li Mu feel a little embarrassed.

Where does your literary and artistic film have the confidence to compete with other people's commercial films? I can only tell him tactfully that Feng Xiaogang's commercial films are still somewhat good.

"Speaking of commercial films, China Film recently produced a blockbuster, a science fiction film." Han Sanping suddenly became excited when he heard Li Mu talking about commercial films.

"Which one?" Li Mu didn't react at once. Blockbuster, science fiction. It seems that we haven't reached the era of science fiction blockbusters now. Could it be that thing made by Wang Jing?

"The subject matter is very good, a bit like "The Terminator."" Han Sanping laughed. He felt that this movie could work, and the subject matter was very similar to that Hollywood blockbuster of the year.

Speaking of "Terminator", Li Mu immediately understood that it was Wang Jing's super bad movie, and Liu Dehua, a professional in bad movies, acted in this movie.

In this movie, Fan Binbin's costume is really pretty.

"More than 1.5 million was invested?" Li Mu remembered that this film seemed to cost [-] million, although he didn't know where the cost was spent.

"If it's less than [-] million, it can be called a blockbuster."

Han Sanping is now very casual about investing billions of dollars. In recent years, the film market has developed rapidly, and China Film Investment Fund has also skyrocketed.

The above provides strong support for the development of the cultural industry, especially the film industry, and domestic films are indeed very powerful, with an astonishing growth rate every year.

Did you spend money on your year-end surprise?

Chun Chun’s Big Enemy is online again. Why does Han San Ping like director Xiangjiang’s so-called big production so much? Li Mu said that he doesn’t understand Han San Ping’s brain circuit.

This science fiction film will have to be killed by them sooner or later, and Li Mu feels that he still has to do it himself. By the way, Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem" is now in its second installment.

It's time to buy the rights to adapt his books.

This is an investment worth thousands of times.

In her previous life, Liu Cixin sold the film and television rights of The Three-Body Problem for 2009 yuan in 10. In 2015, "The Three-Body Problem" won the Hugo Award. In 2018, Zhang Fanfan resold it for 1.2 million yuan, a 1200-fold increase, making it the most successful investment.

Li Mu is not so bad as to buy other people's film and television rights for 10, but buying early can save a lot of money.

Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" was released in early December. This semi-classic movie made Li Mu feel miserable watching it.

Liu Yifei looked pretty good at the beginning, but later she kept asking Li Mu why she filmed it like this, why she filmed it like that, and how it was filmed like this.

"The rest of the movie is too bland and has no sublimation." Liu Yifei was still mumbling after leaving the theater.

"You've been able to watch movies recently." Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei with some surprise. This little girl has grown up.

"I've been following you all day, so I can't learn a few tricks."

Liu Yifei held Li Mu's right hand and said with a smile. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and swayed with her movements. She was 1 meters tall and tall, and passers-by turned their attention from time to time.

Fortunately, the weather in the Imperial City in December was so cold that people couldn't help but wrap themselves up in an extra layer of down. Plus, wearing a mask made it even harder to see clearly at night.

The first-day box office of "Mei Lanfang" was over 1500 million, which is quite good for a literary film.

As for "Wolf Fang", which Wu Jing directed and starred in, there is no popularity at all and there are no reports.However, Wu Jing himself said in an interview that he had achieved at least 6000 million box office, and he was full of confidence in his words.

Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One" is scheduled for the end of the month, and the two blockbusters are also scheduled to be staggered to each other, giving both parties a sense of dignity.

"If You Are the One" doesn't have much pressure to repay the cost. The pre-roll advertisements repaid half of the cost, and the total production cost was only 5000 million. The pressure is more on "Mei Lanfang".

At the same time, David was very surprised and called Li Mu.

"Boss, you are right not to invest. That Bernard Madoff is a big liar." David was obviously very shocked. At this time, Bernard Madoff had been taken away in handcuffs, and a huge Ponzi scheme was revealed. Revealed.

The American media has unequivocally called this fraud case involving a huge amount of money "the largest financial fraud case in the history of the United States and the world."

Bernard Madoff is also involved in the Hollywood circle. After all, there are a lot of stupid people here and there is a lot of money. Crystal Pictures is naturally inevitable.

Crystal Pictures is famous for making money among independent production companies. Bernard Madoff also took a fancy to this and wanted to come to beg for help and tear down the walls of Crystal to fill the loopholes in other places.

When Li Mu heard that he was the former chairman of Nasdaq, he refused to David without hesitation.

Some people in Hollywood have also become victims of this case, including the famous director Steven Spielberg.

Spielberg is also having a bad year this year. His mansion has just disappeared, and his investment money has also disappeared.

“Have your funds ready, the time to invest in Facebook is coming soon,” Li Mu reminded.

David is now convinced of Li Mu's vision. If it were him, he would probably step on the accelerator and head straight for Madoff's Ponzi scheme.

Who can resist a steady return of one to two percent per month?

David felt he couldn't, but fortunately he had no money and saved a dog's life.

"Mei Lanfang" achieved a nationwide box office of 4218 million in its first weekend. China Film said this was an achievement that "satisfied all parties."

If he wins another award later, the copyright of this movie controlled by China Film Group can earn him a lot of money.

Unfortunately, starting from this Thursday, "Women Are Not Bad" directed by Tsui Hark will be officially released, and next week will be Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One". The market space in front of "Mei Lanfang" is not empty.

"If You Are the One", an atypical Feng comedy, was officially launched in major theaters across the country starting at midnight. As of 4 p.m. the next day, it had grossed a total of 1500 million yuan, making it the highest-grossing film in the Lunar New Year this year.

It broke the previous box office record of 1428 million set by "Mei Lanfang" in one and a half days.

Then it became unstoppable, and the box office was out of control.

Feng Xiaogang felt so happy when he saw the box office growth.

You know, last year he wanted to enter the [-] million box office club, but he didn't get in at the last minute.

When Li Mu went to Liu Yifei's villa, Shu Chang seemed to be talking to Liu Yifei, and Shu Chang looked unhappy.

"What's going on, you two?" Li Mu took a look, and it didn't look like they were quarreling.

"She's not the one from "Sword and Sword III". She's also advertised as little Liu Yifei. She's older than Sissi even if you don't look at her age."

When Li Mu heard this, he thought Shu Chang was fighting for his best friend's injustice.

The filming of "Sword and Sword III" has already started in August this year, and a press conference was specially held some time ago.

Anyway, Liu Yifei will be taken out from time to time to consume a wave of popularity.

"It's okay, it doesn't affect anything anyway." Liu Yifei looked at ease, but it didn't affect her to continue to do anything.

"You don't care about anything. What if she steals your boyfriend one day?" Shu Chang couldn't do anything to Liu Yifei, so he sat down and muttered.

"She dares!" Liu Yifei burst out with great strength in an instant. The table was slapped so loudly that it felt like it was echoing in the hall.

Li Mu and Shu Chang were both startled by her and stood up quickly. They had never seen Liu Yifei so excited.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei's right hand and couldn't believe it. Is such a strong hand really okay?
"Hiss" Liu Yifei then reacted, glanced at her right hand, and quickly supported it with her left hand, "It hurts me to death, Amu."

Then the whole person rushed into Li Mu's arms, and tears seemed to come from the corners of his eyes.

Li Mu picked up Liu Yifei's right hand and looked at it. Fortunately, it was taken from the front. It was only partially red and blood was gushing out. It would be fine after a while.

It's rare, this little girl slaps the table quite fiercely.

Only Shu Chang felt extremely uncomfortable. Instead of a tiger coming out of its cage just now, he suddenly became like a sick cat.

This is indeed the same person!
It was dinner time when Zhang Yimou suddenly called. After putting down the phone, Li Mu was still a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yifei was a little curious when she saw Li Mu's expression.

"Director Zhang invites you to dinner tomorrow."

Li Mu smiled. Although he didn't know what Zhang Yimou was talking about, he still had time to have a meal.

As the end of the year approaches, everyone's work has been overwhelmed, and Li Mu hasn't released a new movie, so he's still very busy these days.

Besides, the two of them hadn't eaten and chatted for a while.

"It must be about director Zhang Yimou's new movie." Liu Yifei said confidently. Recently, it has been reported that Zhang Yimou's new movie seems to be in the works.

"You're pretty smart."

Li Mu thought for a moment and felt that it should be what Liu Yifei said.

"Isn't that right? This girl is recognized as smart. Do you think I'm right? Sing sing."

Shu Chang nodded very seriously, giving face to his best friend.

"Really?" Li Mu looked unbelieving.

"That must be true, you don't believe it." Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu angrily.

"Well, I'll ask you a question, and if you answer it right away, I'll accept it."

"You ask."

Shu Chang also pricked up her ears. She actually expressed great doubts about her best friend's so-called intelligence, but she couldn't say it clearly.

Li Mu thought for a moment, whetted the appetite of the two of them, and then quickly said: "Have you ever heard the story of "The big pig said yes, and the little pig said no"?"

"No. No, there is."

"Ah! You are cheating, you are dead, Li Mu."

"."

When Li Mu was eating, he felt that the teeth marks on his right arm might still be there, and he felt awkward when picking up vegetables.

"eat more."

Liu Yifei glared at him, but still picked up a bunch of vegetables with her chopsticks.
