Chapter 541 Things about the Shanghai Film Festival
"Crossover?"

Li Mu picked up a cup of coffee, took a sip, and looked at the roll-up poster outside the window.

"Mr. Zhang, this is a difficult problem."

"Problem? Hahaha, the problem may stump Director Li, but it should not stump Mr. Li."

Zhang Qiang smiled and made a pun.

As a director, you may have a narrow perspective and only focus on movies, but as a boss in the film and television industry, you must open up your perspective and structure. You cannot focus on just one corner of the movie, but look at the development of the industry.

"Actually, I think the so-called cross-border forums nowadays don't have much significance."

Li Mu gently put down the cup and said in a calm tone.

"Oh, what do you say?"

Zhang Qiang asked with interest.

"No wonder the boss said that Mengying Media is the one who knows the most about the Internet in the major film and television circles."

"Hey, there are big data predictions now. These Internet companies are very good at playing. Lao Xu, I think I should go and see if they are accurate."

"Of course that's good, please Mr. Li."

Zhang Qiang’s idea is to directly bring Mengying Media on board.

On the first day, Li Mu did not participate in any other activities except for a brief meeting with Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang couldn't help but murmur in his heart, no wonder these capitals have always been obsessed with Mengying Media's capital path.

Li Mu understands very well how Internet giants such as Alibaba and Tencent are rushing into the film and television industry, which is to bring money and plan to create new giants.

Li Mu smiled and declined. It was not that he disliked the film companies owned by these Internet giants, but this movie was really not his favorite.

"The IP is good."

Zhang Qiang was a little regretful, but he did not continue the invitation. After all, if he was interested, Li Mu would not say this.

There were so many event invitations that Li Mu himself was dazzled after reading them, so he just chose one and didn't go anywhere.

"It's just that Mengying Media currently has many projects on hand, so I won't participate in it for now. Thank you Mr. Zhang for your kindness."

"Forget it, Mr. Zhang, let's get back to business."

Li Mu's words directly brought Zhang Qiang, who was thinking, back to reality.

"Oh, hahaha, sorry, Mr. Li, I almost forgot."

Zhang Qiang clasped his hands together, looking apologetic.

Li Mu's words are not nonsense. The film industries owned by these Internet giants are now recruiting people and spending heavily to poach many well-known people in the industry.

"No matter what results or conclusions the forum reaches, it will not have much impact on film crossovers.

Li Mu is a little interested, but not very much, and he plans to go back to the imperial capital the day after tomorrow.

If you can afford it and are willing to pay, it is naturally a good place for some professionals in the industry.

"Mr. Li, you also know that we are currently creating a super IP series, the movie plan of "Three Lives Three Worlds". Is Mr. Li interested in participating together?"

"the day after tomorrow?"

The two talked for a while, and before leaving, Zhang Qiang specially invited:

But what several major capital companies don't understand is that the CEO of Mengying Media refuses to take the capital route, which makes them puzzled.

"Mr. Li, I don't know if you have time the day after tomorrow. There is a new forum with the theme of big data + movies. We have invited the heads of Weibo, iQiyi, Youtu Group, UTA and other companies, as well as director Zhou Liming and others to talk about it. .

They all sit in this position, observe the words and expressions, and everyone understands the language skills.

Zhang Qiang's eyes lit up, this is okay. After all, big data + movies, how can there be no professional filmmakers? The director of "囧 in Hong Kong" is here. This case makes it more fun to talk about, and it can also verify the current big data analysis situation.

Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and others ran around and didn't come back until dinner.

Zhang Qiang was a little surprised, because Li Mu's statement was quite consistent with his boss's statement, that is, capital push.

Li Mu was eating the food and suddenly looked at Xu Zheng.

"It's a pity. I still thought that Mr. Li could help us. After all, we have only been established for a little more than half a year and are still new in the industry."

In the evening, Li Mu naturally invited everyone to have dinner together. It was rare to have such a large gathering of people, so it should enhance some feelings.

Film crossovers now do not need theories or concepts to guide them. The powerful power of capital has made film crossovers like a torrential flood unstoppable. "

"Where, where! Alibaba Pictures is now strong and strong"

It has to be said that these Internet companies are indeed more sensitive to IP mining than people in the film and television industry.

If Alibaba Pictures, Ruyi Pictures, and Mengying Media can work together to create it, the foundation for victory will have been laid even before the film is successful.

We have also done a set of big data analysis on currently upcoming movies, including "囧"."

"I have a plane ticket the day after tomorrow, but I am interested in the analysis of "囧". Let me ask Director Xu if he is interested."

"By the way, Zhang Qiang from Alibaba Pictures told me today that there will be a forum the day after tomorrow for big data analysis. They have made some predictions for many movies, including "囧". Are you interested?"

As the owner of the company, he naturally pays the bill.

As for whether Liu Yifei would participate in the film, the two of them didn't even mention it, as if it didn't exist, but the result is self-evident.

Ning Hao patted Xu Zhuo, who suddenly started coughing.

"I'm eating. Can you please stop taking random pictures? I almost choked to death."

Xu Zheng lost his temper and thought for a moment, "That's fine, there's nothing going on the day after tomorrow anyway."

"Row!"

Li Mu nodded. However, Shen Teng's eyes lit up and he asked quickly, "Director Li, is there nothing else?"

Li Mu couldn't help but wonder, "What else?"

"Big data prediction, there is no "Charlotte". To be honest, now I really want to know how much box office this movie can make, and whether it is directed by Yan."

Shen Teng said with a smile and pulled Yan Fei along.

"Brother Teng, is there anyone who didn't predict us at all?"

Seeing that Li Mu didn't respond immediately, Ma Li thought for a while before picking up the topic.

"why?"

"It's unscientific. This is discrimination."

Everyone at the dinner table laughed.

"Maybe the film's potential is too high and cannot be predicted."

Li Mu also joked that he didn't know why he didn't predict "Charlotte Trouble", but if he thought about it carefully, the probability was limited by the model.

Because of Shen Teng's reputation, film-making experience, director's level, and restrictions on converting dramas into movies, it is very difficult to predict.

As for predicting "囧", it's much simpler.

"囧囧" precedes it, and the lead actors have not changed much, and the director has not changed much. The theme is still a comedy, which can be roughly analyzed.

At night, Liu Yifei, who was far away in the imperial capital, was in her bedroom, wearing a fan's teddy bear pajamas, holding her little head with both hands, the sofa casually hanging on her shoulders, her fair and delicate calves bent, like swings in the air. The top and bottom hems are also regular.

The phone is currently video chatting with Li Mu on WeChat.

"Refused?"

Liu Yifei asked with a slight smile, a sweet smile revealed in her shallow pear dimples.

She also knew that Li Mu and Zhang Qiang had an appointment to meet today. What Li Mu told her was naturally to ask her opinion on "Three Lives Three Worlds".

After all, Liu Yifei is far ahead on the list now with more than 100,000 votes surpassing the second place.

"What, you regret it? It's still too late to regret it now."

"Hehe, no, but you have seen my strength. I have countless fans supporting me. You have to be careful in the future. If you don't treat me well, my fans will destroy you in minutes."

Liu Yifei said fiercely, but her smiling face had no deterrent effect.

"Oh, you think I don't have any fans? Is that papery?"

Li Mu said nonchalantly.

"You have far fewer fans than I do. If you don't believe me, let's compare."

Liu Yifei got excited when talking about this. She was now eager for Li Mu to agree quickly and let Li Mu see her strength.

Seeing her like this, Li Mu couldn't understand her little thoughts.

But when it comes to the number of fans, let alone Li Mu, there are several people in the circle who can compare with him, and these fans are not mixed with much moisture.

Li Mu directly changed the topic and did not continue in this direction at all.

"."

Liu Yifei listened to Li Mu's words with a smile, without revealing anything. She seemed to enjoy this kind of life, and she would talk to him from time to time and start the next topic.

One person is willing to talk and the other is willing to listen, no matter how boring it is, this is probably the happiest situation for two people.

The next day, there was a press conference for "Kung Fu Panda 3", one of the important events of the Shanghai Film Festival.

Because the people participating are definitely important guests of the Shanghai Film Festival.

Li Mu, Katzenberg, Li Ruigang, Cheng Long and others walked at the front of the red carpet, and the scene was crowded with stars.

The media from both sides were all present, and the lineup was no worse than the lineup at the opening ceremony a few days ago.

At the beginning of the press conference, several people first exposed the first Chinese trailer of "Kung Fu Panda 3".

The film's rich Chinese elements, exquisite martial arts scenes and suspenseful plot trailers left the media at the scene unsatisfied.

Some of the onlookers also applauded.

“The trailer looks great!”

"Director Li, when will it be released!"

"Yes, Director Li, I can't wait. When will it be released?"

Not only were the onlookers shouting, but the media were also asking about the release date.

Li Mu, Katzenberg, and Li Ruigang looked at each other, and the latter two nodded with a smile.

“I believe everyone has been waiting for this for a long time.

"Kung Fu Panda 3" will premiere in mainland China on January 2016, 1. "

Li Mu announced the scheduled release date on the spot.

At the end of January, the Spring Festival is approaching, and the second week of the release will be during the Spring Festival holiday, which is a very favorable schedule.

The media's eyes lit up and they were very excited. Now there will be something good to watch during the Spring Festival next year.

The audience also applauded and welcomed, but some people felt that it was still too slow and it would take more than half a year.

Cheng Long then relayed the rest of the interview.

As a Kung Fu movie star who is still active to this day, Cheng Long has always been regarded as "China's business card" internationally. The media and fans are also very interested in the experience of dubbing Kung Fu animated movies.
