China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 636: Accepting the invitation, Warner's actions

"Korean stars are blocked from coming to China, and many film and television companies may have to pay for it. It is rumored that Song Zhongji was replaced and his 42 million yuan salary was lost. 53 artists and dramas will be affected."

"Famous Chinese director Feng Xiaogang has signed with the famous American agency CAA. He will become another Chinese filmmaker to sign with CAA after Li An, Wong Kar-wai, and Cheng Long!"

"The fantasy romance film "Love O2O", adapted from Gu Man's novel of the same name, produced by Zhang Yibai, directed by Zhao Tianyu, and starring Angelababy and Jing Boran, will be released nationwide tomorrow. It will be the screen debut of "National Husband" Wang Sicong"

"."

Recently, various news have been frequently reported.

Of course, the ban on Korean culture is still a hot topic in the industry.

This is definitely a good thing for domestic actors, after all, resources are limited.

However, it is absolutely terrible for some film and television companies. The investment in some film and television dramas will most likely be wasted or face a huge increase in costs.

At this time, Huayi coincidentally released the news that Feng Xiaogang had signed a contract with the famous American agency CAA, which was obviously a buffer to protect its market value.

Combined with the fact that domestic companies have been going overseas to cooperate and make money in the past two years, this has caused a lot of speculation.

"Learn from Zhang Yimou's plan to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster?"

"Go to Hollywood to make Feng's comedy and spread it around the world?"

"."

Netizens started to make fun of it, because Feng Xiaogang is still famous for his comedies, but it's hard to say whether this thing will be popular in the local environment.

At the same time, the movie version of "Love O2O" is finally about to reveal its mysterious veil. The publicity team directly pulled out Wang Sicong as the final publicity point, attracting a lot of traffic attention.

“I feel this kind of online game theme is quite interesting.”

Liu Yifei held an apple in her hand, took a bite, swiped her phone, and spoke softly.

"Not bad. It seems that after becoming a producer and director, you have become more sensitive to the subject matter."

Li Mu was checking some documents on his laptop, and when he heard Liu Yifei mention it, he couldn't help but praise her.

"Love O2O" is indeed a relatively novel and attractive subject matter, especially when online games are in full swing nowadays.

Liu Yifei seemed a little interested. "Then let's go take a look?"

Li Mu immediately thought of the film's leading lady's awkward acting and the unwatchable plot, and shook his head quickly, "No hurry, I'll check out the reviews on the major platforms later."

"OK then."

Liu Yifei quickly finished the apple and threw it into the trash can without paying much attention to the matter.

Just then, Li Mu was about to close his laptop when his cell phone suddenly rang.

As a result, because of the ringing sound, the little kid who was sleeping in the stroller nearby suddenly woke up, opened his eyes wide, and suddenly cried out when Li Mu and Liu Yifei noticed him.

The big eyes seemed to become watery immediately.

"It's your fault."

Liu Yifei pretended to hit Li Mu, then quickly picked up the little kid and started coaxing him.

Li Mu touched the little boy's newly grown hair, then picked up his phone and went upstairs.

"Brother!"

Li Mu picked up the phone when he realized that he would not be able to disturb the little bun.

“No new movie plans in the near future?”

Zhang Yi asked with a smile, saying that they have plans almost every year, and as long as they are free, there will be companies or various scripts coming to them.

“It’s hard to say, it depends on the review.”

Li Mu smiled lightly.

"Oh, I almost forgot you have a script that hasn't been filmed yet."

Zhang Yi immediately recalled a script that Li Mu had that was stuck in review half a year ago. "Your script doesn't look simple. We were often stuck in review before, so we're used to it."

"By the way, LeEco's CEO Jia said he has a new financing plan. I wonder if Mengying Media has any plans in this regard?"

When Li Mu heard what Zhang Yi said, he immediately realized that Jia Yueting might have set his sights on him.

"LeTV. Sure, brother, let's make an appointment!" Li Mu suppressed his smile. He was very curious about how Jia Yueting was going to convince him.

"By the way, Senior Brother has invested a lot in LeEco?"

Li Mu laughed, but he thought about the fact that Zhang Yi had a lot of involvement with LeTV. It was rumored that Zhang Yi held 1.43% of LeTV Sports' shares.

“The investment is not that much.” Zhang Yi smiled. His current shares are still very valuable according to the current valuation.

After hearing what Zhang Yi said, Li Mu immediately understood.

The investment is not much, but being able to hold this equity means that you have made a transaction using "labor" or film copyright.

"Okay, let's set a time later."

"."

After reaching an agreement, the two ended the call.

Li Mu then came downstairs. At this time, the little boy was quietly held by Liu Yifei, his eyes moving constantly, and then he continued to speak "ya ya ya" words that no one could understand.

"Director Zhang wants to see you about something?"

Liu Yifei asked casually.

"Well, they say LeTV wants to find Mengying Media to invest."

"Huh?" Liu Yifei was stunned. It was LeTV again. "You agreed?"

"No, I just agreed to meet."

"Don't you think LeTV is unreliable?" Liu Yifei's face was full of doubt. "That's why I want to meet him." Li Mu said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Mu already had a plan in mind, Liu Yifei did not continue to ask. After all, Li Mu was more professional than her in this area.

In the past two days, the industry remained peaceful, with only the official start of filming of Chen Kai's "Legend of the Demon Cat" and the first three days of the release of the movie "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", which accumulated a box office of 3 million yuan and led the film and television market to 4.75 million yuan, causing a slight ripple.

However, there is a middle school girl outside the industry who, with her doge face that often fills the screen and her unparalleled ability to come across people, has become not only popular across the country, but has also swept abroad, gaining countless fans.

"Boss, what is this 'Honghuang Girl' in your country? What does 'Honghuang' mean?

I saw her interview and it was really interesting."

Thanks to the promotion of European and American media as well as self-media such as Twitter, Fu Yuanhui has now become a new and popular Internet celebrity in the world.

"You can understand this as a force that is enough to destroy the world!"

Li Mu thought about it and felt that this explanation seemed more appropriate. After all, the level of Honghuang was indeed very high.

"A girl with the power to destroy the world?" David was not stupid, "Boss, this doesn't make sense!"

Liu Yifei was laughing.

"David, you can understand it as trying your best, just like you have been working so hard to lose weight recently."

"Oh, Crystal, I understand, but your translation really makes me sad. Although I used my 'primordial power', I still failed."

David was more depressed because Crystal Pictures was quite relaxed and he planned to use this time to lose weight, but the result was not proportional to his efforts.

"You've become thinner after being hungry for two days. You're dead." Li Mu said dimly.

“No, no, no, boss.” David shouted hurriedly, “Warner seems to have some new moves?”

"What action?"

"They seem to be looking for a new director to direct the DC superheroes. I recently got news that Warner will most likely find you!"

"Oh?" Li Mu was not too surprised. It was a foregone conclusion that Warner did not trust Zack Snyder.

"Okay, I see."

"Boss, we at Crystal Pictures haven't started a big production in a long time."

Seeing that he failed to attract Li Mu, David continued to try to persuade him.

"Don't worry, you won't starve to death. A few horror movies will be enough for you to eat."

Li Mu smiled and ignored David.

As for Warner, it is just news at the moment. Even if it is true, Warner has to come to him.

August 8, early morning.

Outside Mengying Media, there was a reporter who was waiting for news and felt that the person who came from Mengying Media today was not right.

"Have you noticed that there are many more people today?"

A slightly older middle-aged man sensed it very keenly, because it was no longer working hours and there were already quite a few bosses from the film and television industry who came.

"Not really. Mengying Media also has quite a few people coming here occasionally."

The younger reporters didn't feel much about it. After all, as a well-known company in the industry, it was normal for everyone to interact with each other occasionally.

"I told you to be more careful." The middle-aged man said unhappily, "Six people have walked in. Do you know who the one just now was?"

"It seems to be Yang Wei, the chairman of Hehe Pictures."

"All the companies in Shanghai are here. He was at the FIRST Youth Film Festival in Xining a few days ago. His appearance here today must be a big deal in the industry!"

The middle-aged man said with great certainty.

Then they saw people coming one after another, including La Peikang from China Film Group, Tang Jing from the Navy, Zeng Maojun from Wanda, and Lin Ning from Microfilm Times.
If the two of them couldn't tell that something was wrong at this point, they would have lived in vain.

"It's definitely big news. Report it first."

The middle-aged man was very excited. If he could dig up first-hand information, it would be quite valuable. Of course, compared to some celebrity gossip, its value was still much inferior.

At this time, the reception room of Mengying Media was filled with the leaders or core senior executives in the film and television industry.

Everyone sat around a long square table.

"Director Li, are all the people gathered?"

Wanda Zeng Maojun glanced at the people sitting there, very confidently, and seeing that there was only one empty seat, he asked nonchalantly.

"Mr. Zeng, there's more..." Li Mu was about to reply when Ye Ning walked in under the guidance of the staff.

"Sorry everyone, there was an accident. I don't think I'm late."

Ye Ning smiled, clasped his hands together, and looked apologetic.

"I've been waiting for you, Mr. Ye!"

Yu Dong smiled and patted the chair next to him. It was obvious that this seat was reserved for Ye Ning.

"Director Li, everyone is here, we should be able to get started."

"Yes, Director Li, let's start!"

Everyone urged, and Li Mu did not let them sit there. He stood up first and introduced himself to everyone.

Tang Jing felt a little emotional when looking at these film and television companies or industry capital that came to provide a guarantee.

I guess Li Mu is the only one who can do this in the industry.

However, thinking of the quality of "Operation Red Sea", Tang Jing is both expectant and curious at the moment. What is the guaranteed quality of this movie?
