Chapter 37
Li Mu rushed through the night to finish the storyboard of this plot. This plot mainly involves the protagonist performing a Rubik's Cube in a taxi in order to win an interview opportunity.

It is said that at that time, the Rubik's Cube had just emerged, and even a mathematics professor needed half an hour of analysis to turn out all six sides of the Rubik's Cube.

He only had a few minutes, and he was able to perform well under high pressure.

This kind of detailed storyboard under high pressure can better reflect the level.

Li Mu worked on this all night.

The next afternoon, Will Smith's eyes lit up when he saw the storyboard in Li Mu's hand.

After reading through it, he quickly said:

"This is the feeling I want. You are a genius, Lee!" Will Smith looked at the storyboard manuscript in his hand and couldn't put it down.

"I have a hunch that you will be nominated for another Oscar for this." Li Mu relaxed a lot at this time and said with confidence. He knew that he was only the last step away from convincing Will Smith.

"Is there anyone chosen for that five-year-old boy?" Will Smith asked.

"I would like to invite you, father and son, to act in this play together. Your son is just 6 years old. Isn't this just right?" Li Mu had already made his plans, and this was the right time to make an excuse.

"I have seen him appear in "Men in Black". This drama will be the pinnacle of his new acting career. As he grows up in the future, no one is more suitable than him to play father and son with you. After all, you are real. This It’s a realm that acting can’t reach.”

Will Smith thought for a moment.

"You convinced me, Lee, happy to work together, I hope you can bring me an Oscar trophy!" Will Smith stretched out his hand.

"Happy cooperation, you won't be disappointed!" The two shook hands and reached cooperation.

All that's left is for Warner, David and Will Smith's agent to negotiate the remuneration and share.

Lying on the hotel bed, Li Mu had never felt so tired.

The smooth journey made Li Mu feel a little lost.

But at this moment, Li Mu realized that the world would not change according to his will.

Even in the movie, Li Mu couldn't do it.

Looking at the busy traffic outside the window, he had never longed to conquer this land, even though he knew it would be very difficult.

After several rounds of communication, the total investment for "The Pursuit of Happiness" was finally finalized at US$5000 million.The distribution is as follows:
Will Smith starred in "The Pursuit of Happyness" with a salary of 2000 million plus 15% of the box office priority.

According to the external quotation, director Li Mu's salary was US$180 million, but Crystal Pictures actually invested US$1000 million plus the director's salary, and received 15% of the global box office.

Warner invested US$4000 million, received the remaining share, and was responsible for distribution and other related matters.

The movie will start shooting in a month, and Will Smith still needs to arrange the production work of "The Empty Seat".

"When you have time, go and experience the life of real poverty."

Li Mu did give him a proposal.

"This is Los Angeles, Lee!" Will Smith said directly.

Li Mu did not continue. This place was prosperous and chaotic.

Li Mu did not prepare to return to China immediately, but asked David to test out Facebook's equity. After all, Facebook was just established in February this year, which was when he needed money.

Li Mu just wanted to try it, just in case he succeeded.

The result was rejected without hesitation. It's very simple. Peter Thiel is Facebook's first external investor, PayPal co-founder and former CEO, and owns an asset management company. This man rejected other external investments without hesitation. By.

Knowing that Facebook would conduct an angel round in September, Li Mu had no choice at this time.

Zuckerberg has no plans to release much equity right now. It is not Li Mu’s turn to carve up the angel round yet. Others have already digested it internally.

In the previous angel round, Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman invested US$50 in angel investment, accounting for 10% of the equity.

The latter is the co-founder and executive president of LinkedIn, a partner of Greylock Fund, and the former executive vice president of PayPal.

The current Li Mu has no advantage or resources to obtain equity, let alone a Chinese.

Financing is not just money, but also resources and connections.Li, the richest man in Hong Kong in later generations, really picked a good time to invest in it.

Returning to Nortel, Huang Lei is now a husband again.

It was this phone call the night before the wedding that made Li Mu full of curiosity. It couldn't be those few words in the report. He really wanted to ask me.

The lineup of "The Promise" has been determined, and Brother Kaizi also sent a message, generously, China, Japan and South Korea have joined forces to create a truly epic "Western" magic.

Li Mu is not easy to persuade. Every great leader is stubborn. If it were not for this stubbornness, he would not be able to achieve his own success. But on a certain level, it is also a double-edged sword, and Li Mu himself is not the same.

Lao Mouzi is really busy this year, and he is much more dedicated than Li Mu.

Back in the dormitory, Zhu Yawen was not here, but Luo Jin was here. He was very free now.

Li Mu had a rare class the next day. The teacher was quite curious and joked:

"Director Li, no more movies to shoot? Are you going to come back to learn some acting and act?"

"Teacher, let me introduce a character!" Li Mu said with a smile.

The audience roared with laughter.

After class, everyone came over to say hello intentionally or unintentionally. They were all classmates. Maybe one day Li Mu would think of himself while filming a movie.

There are many people with this idea, not only level 02, but also level 03 people come here from time to time.

Li Mu only remembered one person, Chu Yinan.

The "Olympic baby" selected by Lao Mouzi went to the Athens Olympics to participate in an 8-minute performance at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games.

She is indeed a beauty, the style that Lao Mouzi likes.

"Does it look good? Everyone has left, but I still miss you!" Suddenly there was a sour voice, and Liu Yifei's mouth was raised.

"Let's go eat." Li Mu didn't dare to respond. It was the most appropriate time to change the subject.

"Hmph!" Knowing that this person had changed the subject, Liu Yifei couldn't help but snort, and followed Li Mu to the dining hall.

Li Mu didn't dare to have dinner with Liu Yifei in a restaurant outside. It was too dangerous. This little girl was much more popular in this life than in her last life, and there were a lot of paparazzi waiting outside.

When the two entered the dining hall, they always felt that there were eyes staring at them all around, which made Li Mu feel uncomfortable while eating.

"It's all you and the girls looking at you. This meal is so uncomfortable." Liu Yifei complained as she walked out of the dining hall.

"Let's eat at Auntie's next time." Li Mu was a little tired of eating in the canteen. He missed home-cooked food.

"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded, her little head swaying back and forth, which was quite cute.

At the driving school he signed up for last time, Li Mu asked someone to take a crash course, and he just took the exam for each subject.

This time I came back and got my driver's license by the way. I have to say that it is much easier now than in later generations.

I took the time to return to Laoyang City. Lao Li's e-commerce was still in the process of being worked on. Li Mu couldn't help much. He just communicated with Lao Li the general trend of low-end manufacturing. With Lao Li's many years of business experience, I believe he Don't understand.

After staying in Yangcheng for a few days, Warner has officially announced the project for "The Pursuit of Happiness". Director: Li Mu, starring: Will Smith. The news instantly broke the news in the industry.

Hollywood invests US$5000 million in blockbusters. You must know that the investment in "Hero", "The Promise" and "House of Flying Daggers" is only about 3000 million.

Warner's control, top Hollywood actors, Li Mu's new movies, each name is very attractive when taken individually.

For a time, the male and female stars in the industry had different thoughts, especially the female stars.

The male protagonist has been confirmed to be a top actor in Hollywood, but no information about the female protagonist has been revealed.

For a moment, I thought that the heroine was to be decided, and I was frantically trying to contact someone, hoping to compete in case I succeeded.

No, the cell phone is ringing non-stop. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm getting calls from all the people asking about it.

There were some calls that Li Mu had to answer, such as calls from Han Sanping, calls from some teachers at Nortel, and calls from Brother Kaizi and Lao Mouzi.
