Chapter 591 released, Legendary Pictures,
"Li Mu's two films swept the Golden Globe Awards and won four awards."

"Li Musan won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, helping Leonardo win another Golden Globe Award for Best Actor"

"The Revenant and La La Land won the Golden Globe Awards, Li Mu won the Best Director, and Leonardo won the Best Actor."

"Leonardo, a three-time Golden Globe winner, is expected to bid farewell to the "Running King of Ten Thousand Years" and win a real statuette with his performance in this film."

Major reports have been released one after another.

But if "The Revenant" and "La La Land" are big winners, then "Carol" should be considered a big upset.

This beautiful lesbian romance film starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Score in the drama category. Both heroines were nominated for Best Actress. .

However, perhaps the biggest feature of this film is its aesthetic, and it was not favored by the Hollywood Reporters Association. This year's awards ceremony was not successful.

Of course, the most glorious person tonight was Li Mu, followed by Leonardo.

But the biggest reward is the Golden Globe Award.

Adam Ferguson smiled lightly.

Of course, the consequences at the same time are being criticized by the media.

"3711 families."

Adam Ferguson was stunned and didn't say anything. Anyway, what he wanted was a stable range of profits, otherwise this bet would not have occurred.

"The Golden Globe Award, the Best Fan of the Year Award has greatly attracted fans' favor"

But the so-called soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers. “Self-establishment” has always been the diligent pursuit of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Therefore, the selections in recent years can be said to have more “personalities”. This year, from the film to the TV series, there are even more awards. Fans sent a collective gift package.

The biggest boost is naturally Leonardo starring and Li Mu directing, which for many movie fans is a guarantee of the quality of the movie.

This is also considered to be the agreement made when exchanging resources with Universal back then. The global box office of "The Revenant" must reach US$5 million, otherwise the share of "Jurassic World" will be reduced.

"It's either a dark horse or a big name. It won't be an Oscar benchmark at all!"

While everyone was still chatting at the party that night, the ratings for this year's Golden Globe Awards had been announced.

During Oscar nominations and wins, new movies impress the judges even more.

The average live viewing audience of this ceremony on NBC was more than 2000 million, with a peak audience of more than 2300 million. The mainstream audience between the ages of 18 and 49 had a rating of 5.5. Although the ratings were gratifying, it was still lower than the peak average of 1930 million viewers. Much higher.

"That's enough!"

In the movie, the oppression of nature compresses human beings to the lowest level. Under the natural survival law of natural selection, human beings who once thought they were at the top of the biological chain are basically trampled under the feet of nature.

Li Mu smiled confidently, "The box office in North America should be close to 200 million US dollars."

"The Revenant" has been in small-scale release for nearly two weeks in order to compete for awards. It was only released in a theater in Los Angeles and has currently grossed a total of 150 million US dollars.

"Of course, how many theaters have been arranged for the first day of large-scale release!"

Universal has also spent a lot of money on publicity and distribution, and a large number of media outlets have continuously reported on "The Revenant" and the Golden Globe Awards. This is also a small boost for the film from the Golden Globe Awards.

Many viewers went to the movie because of Li Mu and Leonardo, and because of Universal's promotion, but the original atmosphere in the movie made the audience fascinated.

"Li, our agreement is about to begin."

"The Revenant", which immediately won the Golden Globe Award, is quickly preparing to launch a large-scale public release. This is also an opportunity to expand the influence of the film.

They once invented commerce, invented fire, invented civilization, built cities, saved the world with their unique human compassion, and established a supreme order.
However, here, all that is left is the hopeless struggle of sitting back and waiting for death, looking up at the sky for countless long hours of intertwined dawn and dusk.

"Oh my god!"

"incredible!"

"Is this a Leonardo show? Is this real meat?"

"I want to vomit"

Li Mu stayed for two more days. Besides promoting, he and Leonardo also dressed up and went to the cinema to see the audience's reaction.

"Are you satisfied?"

Li Mu asked.

"Of course, they were conquered by my acting skills."

Leonardo has never been so confident.

Because nearly two-thirds of the entire film is spent following Leonardo's survival process in the wilderness, focusing the camera on all the details of Glass's actions.

Close-up of him with heavy breathing, angry eyes, and bloody hands from climbing the rock wall, and no fewer than ten pointless failures before lighting the bonfire.
We even filmed him rolling down the hillside and climbing to the stream to fill the water. He was stung by the cold water, and quickly took out the water bottle, unscrewing the cap and heading into the rushing stream.

Such fragmented and detailed description is the wonderful moment that makes people marvel at Leonardo's acting skills.

Li Mu stayed in the United States for two more days, and did not leave with satisfaction until "The Revenant" scored over 1500 million on the first day and more than 1600 million on the second day.

"Give me the trophy quickly, I want to see it."

As soon as Li Mu returned home, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to come out.

"It's a bit heavy! Let's take a look after it's put away."

Li Mu didn't dare to take this risk. He was holding three trophies at the moment, which was a bit overwhelming.

Because this thing is really heavy, weighing 5.5 pounds, or 5 pounds.

In Li Mu's study, there is a special place for two people's trophies, and now there are three more trophies here. "It's a pity that I couldn't win your Best Actress."

Li Mu gently hugged Liu Yifei from behind.

"It doesn't matter. I've already won four awards. If I win any more, I think the Journalists Association won't even work anymore."

Instead, Liu Yifei chuckled and consoled her, turned around slightly, buried her head on Li Mu's shoulder, and breathed in Li Mu's scent greedily.

The turmoil at the Golden Globe Awards has not yet dissipated, and what is about to hit are the Oscar nominations.

However, on the occasion of the Oscar nominations, news broke out in the industry: Wanda Culture Group acquired American Legendary Pictures for US$35 billion.

Wanda Group’s merger with Legendary Pictures, which has been rumored for a long time, has finally settled

Obviously this will be the largest acquisition investment by a Chinese company in a foreign country in the history of film. Since then, Legendary Pictures, which has created a series of blockbusters such as "Batman", has become a member of the Chinese company Wanda.

This investment obviously shocked the entire industry. Although it was a bit rumored before, no one expected it to be a massive investment of US$35 billion.

The signing ceremony was held in the Imperial Capital.

Li Mu was also invited as a guest.

Discussions within and outside the industry have become increasingly heated.

“Wang Jianlin wants to buy the whole world?”

“Buying it for US$35 billion doesn’t feel like it’s worth it, right?”

"It is now difficult for Legendary Pictures to participate in some high-quality projects. Otherwise, why would Legendary Pictures be "abandoned" by Warner Bros., which they had cooperated with for eight years?"

"What the hell, can you do business better than Wang Jianlin?"

"."

The industry was filled with exclamations of exclamation.

"Director Li, will you come over tomorrow?"

Wang Changtian and Yu Dong asked in the group.

"Come over, I've invited you all, you can't not give me any face."

Li Mu smiled and responded in the group.

The entire signing ceremony was very grand, and the majority of people were media people.

Everyone is scrambling to enter the inspection hall.

After Li Mu entered the venue, he found that the entire venue seemed to be surrounded by various scenes of Warcraft. Only the banner above the stage told everyone that today was a signing.

The big screen on the stage has the English words of Warcraft, and the soldiers and heroes of Warcraft are standing on the left and right sides of the stage.

Obviously after the signing ceremony, the movie "Warcraft" is the highlight.

"Welcome, Director Li!"

Wang Jianlin was very excited and came with Liu Xiaobin.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wang." Li Mu shook hands with Wang Jianlin. At this time, Wang Jianlin was still in great glory and showed no trace of his age. "What a big deal!"

"Where there!"

Wang Jianlin's smile became brighter, but seeing that Li Mu, who was only a few years older than his son, was on an equal footing with him, Wang Jianlin also had mixed feelings in his heart at this moment.

"Director Li, you are the director who has made the most films at home and abroad. You even have your own independent production company in the United States. You can be said to be the number one person in overseas films."

Wang Jianlin said slowly at this moment.

Li Mu thought for a moment. Most people say nice things when they have a request or a question.

Sure enough, within a moment, Wang Jianlin asked:

"Director Li, do you think my acquisition of Legendary Pictures is worth it?"

Wang Jianlin said with a smile, as if he really wanted to hear Li Mu's opinion.

"In the past two days, many people seem to be saying that Wanda's acquisition of the legendary deal is not worth it. Director Li, as a professional, I want to hear your opinion."

Li Mu was not too surprised by Wang Jianlin's question. Looking at his excited look, he was not asking for other people's opinions. He was just hoping that someone would agree with what he said.

If such a large acquisition was not analyzed by consultants and industry insiders, Li Mu would not believe it to his death.

This is not asking for your own opinion.
"Legendary Pictures owns thousands of IPs. IPs are valuable now. These IPs may become a huge lifeline for the entire tourism industry or children's entertainment industry in the future, realizing the continuation of film products."

Li Mu also talked about it in detail. These are actually obvious and are one of the purposes of Wanda's acquisition of Legendary Pictures. Li Mu will not cause trouble for others on this day.

"Hahaha, Director Li is indeed the professional."

Wang Jianlin laughed, he just liked hearing these words, after all, he spent 35 billion US dollars.

"Actually, I have been wanting to buy a Hollywood studio for so many years. Unfortunately, we failed to negotiate with DreamWorks in the United States last year."

Wang Jianlin was talking, suddenly with a sense of pride, "Nowadays, the right to speak about movies in the global market is basically controlled by a few major American companies. Who can change this pattern? It is up to us to change it bit by bit."

"Wanda must compete for the right to speak in the global film market. Perhaps in the near future, Wanda will hold a larger ceremony to acquire a large entertainment group. This is entirely possible."
