Chapter 672 Female friends?
After being criticized, Feng Xiaogang finally calmed down.

It’s just that the box office of "I Am Not Madame Bovary" was not very good on weekdays. It dropped to 2400 million on Monday, but it was almost unable to hold the 2000 million mark on Tuesday, and fell below it on Wednesday, closing at more than 1900 million.

At this point, the outcome of "I Am Not Madame Bovary" has been decided, and breaking 5 million has become an unattainable luxury.

One of the expected pillars of domestic films at the end of the year has been broken, and the remaining pillar is Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall".

However, at this moment, Zhang Yi had a serious expression on his face.

"Is LeTV okay?"

Chen Ting has never been so concerned about a company's stock price in the past few days, nor has she ever read the news so frequently.

LeEco, which had always seemed healthy, was caught in a "debt crisis". Jia Yueting directly revealed that LeEco's capital chain was tight and that its American car factory also had a series of debts.
Amid various negative crises, LeTV's stock price plummeted like a waterfall. From November 11 to November 2, LeTV's market value evaporated by 11 billion yuan.

During this period, LeTV also urgently announced that it had obtained funds through senior executive shareholding and self-rescue by Jia Yueting's classmates at the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, but this could not stop the downward trend of LeTV's stock price.

This also means that the restructuring of LeTV Pictures will inevitably be suspended. The possibility of LeTV Pictures injecting capital into LeTV.com to create wealth is almost non-existent, and its many celebrity shareholders are currently trapped.

"Hard to say!"

Zhang Yi shook his head. Fortunately, LeEco still had a lot of market value. However, he felt uneasy when he remembered that Li Mu had rejected LeEco's investment before.

"Fortunately, Director Li reminded you not to continue investing in LeEco. As for the rest, if you lose money, you lose money. If you can find someone to take over, sell it quickly!"

Chen Ting felt a little scared. She didn't understand these financial things, but she could see that the current value had been cut in half. If she continued to take over, she would be losing money again.

"It's not that easy to find. If I sell it now, I'm afraid I'll have to discount it further at this price."

Zhang Yi said calmly, "Let's wait and see, just consider these two years of hard work in vain."

After hearing what Zhang Yi said, Chen Ting didn't say anything else. She just thought that Zhang Yi had filmed movies in vain in the past two years.

On the other hand, after the announcement came out, Liu Yifei also received a call from Zhou Xun.

"Xixi, thank you. If you hadn't reminded me, I might have been trapped again this time."

Zhou Xun smiled bitterly, she felt how unlucky she was. She refused the shares that Huayi gave her at a bargain price, and now she invested in LeTV and was stuck again.

"what?"

Liu Yifei was completely confused.

"Oh, it's about the last time I increased my stake in LeEco. Didn't you say Guo Degang was withdrawing his shares? I was still hesitating about increasing my stake at that time. After hearing what you said, I thought about it and finally gave up.

Fortunately, I didn’t increase my holdings. I heard that LeEco’s capital chain is very tight, and it recently lost the live broadcast rights of the Tennis Masters.”

Zhou Xun looked relieved. Thanks to Liu Yifei's words, he thought about it more.

"Ah, I didn't notice it, I was just saying it casually, but it's true."

Liu Yifei just played dumb. She did want to give a reminder, but money was hard to say. LeTV was in crisis now, but what if LeTV came back to life one day and made the money back?

She still has some emotional intelligence.

"I will say I am too lazy to bother with this anymore. All the efforts I have made over the years have been in vain. I feel like my investment has been cursed by God."

Zhou Xun felt that she should just give up, as she was not cut out for investment.

"By the way, when I get back to the capital, I'll treat you to a meal and invite Director Li along. Of course, it's okay if you don't come, we can just eat together."

Zhou Xun also wanted to treat everyone, on the one hand to enhance friendship. For example, a lot of information that she didn't know was just a casual remark to Liu Yifei.

"Okay!"

Liu Yifei did not refuse. After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei gently touched Li Mu, who was lying on the bed with a pad in his hand, with her little feet.

"What's the matter?" Li Mu's hands were still sliding, and he was still reading the Aquaman script.

"No, didn't you hear what Sister Xun and I said just now?"

Liu Yifei was very dissatisfied. She lay directly on Li Mu, then poked her head through the circle formed by Li Mu's hands holding the Pad, blocking Li Mu's sight.

"I heard it, what next?"

Li Mu couldn't help but find it funny. He put the pad down and gently hugged Liu Yifei.

Although the capital has entered early winter in November, and with the falling autumn leaves, it has ushered in the coldest season of the year, but the temperature in the house is still warm.

Liu Yifei was wearing cute pajamas at this time. Her beautiful and round calves were bent on the bed, stretching and shrinking playfully. Her long hair fell around her ears, and when it was tied up, she had a delicate oval face with dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"No, I just want to ask you if you know about the LeEco crisis. Did you not invest in LeEco because you realized it was going to fail?"

Liu Yifei was staring at Li Mu with her clear and bright eyes like a curious baby.

"Hasn't the capital market been abuzz recently? For example, some big individual investors like Zhang Jianping, and the public fund Harvest Fund and China Post Fund were all trapped. How could they not know about this?

I didn't invest in him because there were rumors that he was embezzling funds. At that time, I proposed to check the accounts, but LeTV was unwilling to do so." Li Mu laughed, "Why do you still want to buy at the bottom?"

"I don't have this talent, and I don't bother to care about it. If Sister Xun hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it!"

After Liu Yifei asked this question, she turned over and lay in Li Mu's arms, letting Li Mu hug her from behind.

The two of them started talking about interesting things in their daily lives. There was a lot of news in the industry, and they kept talking about it endlessly.

As the dust settled at the 53rd Golden Horse Awards, Feng Xiaogang won the Golden Horse Best Director Award for the first time with "I Am Not Madame Bovary", adding a faint spark to the originally silent box office. In addition, due to the weekend, the box office successfully exceeded million again.

But that’s all, November is coming to an end.

After the film market cooled down again in November, it made a comeback in December.

In the Lunar New Year box office that is about to come to an end, a large number of the strongest players from China and abroad have gathered.

On December 12, a number of new films including "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," "The Swordsman," "Super Express," "Flying Drifters," and "Cannibal Island" were released, intending to make a last-ditch effort in the Chinese film market in 2, which saw slow growth.

The film and television industry has officially entered the final stages of this year, and Zhang Yimou's new film "The Great Wall", which has been in preparation for three years, is being promoted extensively.

"Arrival" is also under the banner of Guofan's science fiction film, vying for a place in this period.

The entire industry seemed to be looking forward to the last feast of the year. At the same time, Wu Jing, who had been traveling between the two places, specially found Li Mu.

"Hmm? Post-production is done?"

Li Mu asked subconsciously, but just as he opened his mouth he felt that he was overthinking. After all, it has only been in production for a short time, and the special effects may not be fully completed.

"It will probably take until the first half of next year to be completed. Oh, Director Li has something that a friend asked me to ask about. Can you tell me if it's possible?"

Wu Jing is also an impatient person and is ready to get straight to the point.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Mu put down his pen, a little curious.

"It's like this, a friend of mine wants to adapt a comedy sketch into a movie and direct it himself."

"A female friend, right?" Li Mu smiled when he heard that. If he guessed correctly, it should be the movie that Wu Jing made money from inexplicably.

"Looking at you, I guessed right. Don't worry, I won't tell Sister Xie Nan." Seeing this, Li Mu started a joke.

"Um, Director Li, the girl is a girl, but..." Wu Jing subconsciously got anxious, "But that's Jia Ling!"

"."

Sure enough, Wu Jing was talking about the comedy sketch "Hello, Li Huanying". Li Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw Wu Jing looking so anxious that he seemed to be sweating.

"Okay, go on." Li Mu restrained his smile and motioned Wu Jing to continue.

"She is a new director who found me a few days ago. I communicated with her and invested some money out of friendship. She is looking for investors recently. I want to ask Director Li if Maoyan Culture, which you own, is interested in this movie."

Obviously, Jia Ling is also selective in seeking investment. Maoyan is the online ticket purchasing platform with the largest market share and is backed by Mengying Media and Guangxian. Obtaining investment from Maoyan is killing two birds with one stone.

"emm" Li Mu did not give a reply immediately. Naturally, he had to pretend to think about it at this time.

Wu Jing wasn't too nervous. After all, she was asking on behalf of Jia Ling, and the nervous experience was already given to "Wolf Warrior".

"How many companies are you planning to invest in?"

Li Mu then asked, for a movie like Jia Ling's, which is looking for investment, it is normal to have a few main investors and a dozen or twenty co-producers behind it.

"She said she was planning to find three main investors, and she has already found someone to discuss with Didu Culture and Ruyi Film and Television."

Wu Jing also told it without hiding anything. After all, with the power of Mengying Media, as long as they checked, they could get the news almost immediately.

Li Mu was still thinking about whether it would be possible to get more main investment quota, but after hearing what Wu Jing said, it was basically not very likely.

"We can talk about it. You can talk to Jia Ling and ask her to go directly to Maoyan Culture. If the script story is evaluated as OK, Maoyan will invest in it."

Li Mu naturally would not let the meat in his mouth fly away, but he was afraid that it would be a bit difficult to get more meat.

Wu Jing's eyes lit up and she was very happy. After all, if you help someone pass a message and it succeeds, it is also a great achievement. You help me and I help you, and that's how relationships are formed.

"Okay, Director Li, I'll talk to her later."

"it is good!"

Li Mu nodded, and after Wu Jing left, he called Zheng Zhihao directly.

"Director Li!"

Zheng Zhihao was preparing for a meeting and all the participants were seated when he suddenly received a call from Li Mu. He did not dare to neglect it and quickly answered the call.

"Jia Ling has a movie coming up. When the time comes, you can arrange for someone to evaluate it and then try to get as much of the share back during the negotiation."
