Chapter 674 Cat's Eye and Micro-Shadow

After so many years, the number of people who express their hatred for having their wives stolen from them has not decreased, but has increased even more out of ridicule.

Li Mu became more and more depressed the more he read it, so he simply sent his blessing and then closed the Weibo post.

Instead, Liu Yifei was still brushing with great interest.

Tang Yan and Luo Jin also responded to their friends and relatives who sent their blessings.

However, at this time, when their relationship was made public, it was Hu Ge, the only remaining "left-behind child" of The Legend of Sword and Fairy, who became popular.

Netizens ridiculed:
"Tang Yan and Luo Jin are together, my first reaction was to check Lao Hu's Weibo to see if he was okay, hahahaha."

"Is there anyone like me who came here specifically to read Hu Ge's comments section?"

"+1!"

"By the way, Yanyan and Brother Jin said they would invite us to have dinner the day after tomorrow."

Liu Yifei suddenly signaled Li Mu to look at her mobile chat page, which contained Tang Yan's message inviting them to have a simple meal.

"Oh, they will come back to the imperial capital the day after tomorrow?" Li Mu felt that if he remembered correctly, it seemed that both of them were in the Magic City now.

"Yes, but there will be a '2016 Jiaren Chinese Style Super Gala' in a few days. My team also received an invitation, but I turned it down. The two of them are going to walk the red carpet together."

Liu Yifei smiled faintly.

"There are more and more celebrations recently."

Li Mu didn't know what these celebrations were for. There were more and more weird things in recent years.

"."

As the film season remains sluggish, we can only rely on new films to provide stimulation.

"Twenty-Eight-Year-Old Minor" by Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo is one of the few hot topics recently.

After all, with "Twenty-Eight-Year-Old Minor" to be released on the 9th and "The Great Wall" to be released on the 16th, the father and daughter will be competing on the same stage at the same time.

At the same time, "Arrival" produced by Mengying Media also joined in the fun.

A set of 12 posters and a trailer were released.

Completely different from other science fiction movies, the spaceship landed in front of the Bund and other famous attractions around the world, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The trailer is also full of mysticism and horror atmosphere, it is very shocking!

These two sets of promotions made netizens feel like they were watching a real science fiction blockbuster.

"Isn't it said to be more literary? Why does this promotion look so hard, it feels like hard science fiction"

"Looking at this poster, if I hadn't known in advance that it was a domestic film, it would have felt like a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster!"

"."

"Mr. Li, this is the current promotional data for Director Guo's film."

As soon as Li Mu returned, Lu Yu quickly handed Li Mu the news report of the past few days.

"Ok."

Li Mu nodded. The first page was the current data of "Arrival" and various analyses of the audience. Li Mu quickly read it and turned to another page.

Looking at the second page of Microfilm Era, Li Mu couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

The report states that Microfilm Times has a 10 billion guarantee for the movie "Railroad Tigers" starring Cheng Long.

Of course, this is not a secret news, because Weying Times publicized this matter in a high-profile manner yesterday, which attracted a lot of attention at once.

This year, Microfilm Era not only participated in the production and distribution of a large number of film projects, but also began to lead a series of work such as film publicity and marketing, theater distribution, etc. by promising to obtain distribution projects with large guaranteed funds.

For Internet companies like Weying Times that lack distribution and operation experience, guaranteed distribution is their weapon to compete with traditional film and television companies for film distribution rights.

But Lin Ning's operation was obviously very radical.

"It's better to be a little radical." Li Mu smiled. He hoped that Lin Ning would be more radical. Maoyan Culture was a very important piece of meat for Eye Microfilm Times.

Of course, the most important thing is Tencent behind the Microfilm Era, or more precisely, the traffic entrance of WeChat.

The following report was about some normal operations of the company. After Li Mu read it carefully, he immediately called Wang Changtian.

"Boss Wang, let's have lunch together today."

"Okay, the old place!" Wang Changtian was a little surprised, but he guessed that Li Mu probably had something to talk to him about, so he didn't hesitate.

After hanging up the phone, he called his secretary.

"Cancel all afternoon meetings and schedule them for tomorrow," Wang Changtian ordered directly.

Then he sorted out the documents and left the Guangxian Building.

In a quaint restaurant, although the trees are bare, they are still taken care of and trimmed to look very beautiful.

"Director Li and Director Guo's Arrival looks like another sci-fi masterpiece. It looks like Mengying Media has secured the top spot this year."

After Wang Changtian sat down, he took a sip of tea first.

"It's all just empty reputation!" Li Mu smiled. "By the way, Mr. Wang, are you interested in continuing to invest in Maoyan?"

"Hmm?" Wang Changtian's eyes widened. "Director Li, do you mean that we should continue to get shares from Mei Da?"

"Of course, they have lost control of Maoyan. In fact, this business is not essential to them. We will continue to buy back the shares they hold."

“Director Li, are you interested in this?” Wang Changtian naturally did not think that Li Mu was just trying to increase his shareholding. Although he was optimistic about Maoyan’s development, his current shareholding was actually in place.

"The era of micro-films!" Li Mu said calmly, "Based on the current business, Maoyan will be able to turn losses into profits before the middle of next year, but Tao Piaopiao is backed by Alibaba. I believe Mr. Wang has paid attention to the fact that Alibaba Pictures announced a change of leadership two days ago."

"Well, Yu Yongfu came with the resources of Alibaba's big entertainment." Wang Changtian also frowned. The growth of Tao Piaopiao is currently very rapid following Alibaba, and it is almost approaching the market position of Maoyan.

"Director Li, do you think we can cooperate with Microfilm Times?"

“No, not collaboration, but two becoming one.

It may be a little difficult now, but as the pressure on Tao Piao Piao increases, Weying Times will not be able to withstand the current development progress. By then, the two companies will merge into one, which will be a win-win situation, but of course there will be losers."

Li Mu smiled and said that Tencent behind Weying Times would not watch Tao Piaopiao dominate the market. If necessary, Weying Times must become a chess piece. Even if it is not abandoned, it will be a loser unless Weying Times can surpass Tao Piaopiao and Maoyan.

In this case, Li Mu naturally wanted more equity in preparation for the subsequent replacement.

"Boss Wang, if you want to take action, Guangguang had better prepare early. After all, it costs a lot of money."

Li Mu specifically reminded them that as people acting in concert, they should talk about some things in advance to avoid any rift between the two sides.

"Okay, Guangguang still has the money. At most, I can pledge more shares, although Guangguang is not worth much money now."

Wang Changtian couldn't laugh when talking about the current market value of Guangxian Stock. This cancer stock is really inhumane.

In the evening, Tang Yan, Luo Jin and others also invited Zhu Yawen to join them, but Zhou Yang did not come because she was still in Singapore.

"Jinzi, from now on you are officially taken!"

Zhu Yawen patted Luo Jin on the shoulder and said, "You are the only one who is not married here. Arrange it as soon as possible!"

Several people echoed and made Tang Yan blush.

"Hey, Xixi, why didn't you bring Xiao Baozi with you? I missed her after not seeing her for a while."

Tang Yan quickly changed the subject.

"Yeah, why don't you bring the little one here? I really want to pinch her face. When she grows up, there won't be this opportunity anymore."

"Come on, I am the only one who can pinch my daughter's face, you guys get out of here." Li Mu refused directly.

"She fell asleep when we came out, so I decided not to bring her. Next time she comes home, she can almost talk now, so maybe she can call you uncle or aunt."

"No, call me brother." Zhu Yawen shook his head.

"How dare you, a man in his thirties, calling yourself a brother!" Li Mu rolled his eyes at him.

"Xixi, you mean that the little kid can call mom and dad now?"

"Yeah, but I still shouted unconsciously!" Liu Yifei said with a happy look on her face.

"That will happen soon. The little one looks very smart. I guess he will be able to bark consciously this year."

Tang Yan seemed very interested in the child and kept asking questions.

Li Mu and Zhu Yawen looked at Luo Jin with a smirk on their faces.

When Tang Yan came to her senses, her face was already blushing. Fortunately, Liu Yifei saw the opportunity to change the subject.

"That's great. I heard from Yanyan that they have started planning for marriage. Although it won't be so soon, it's on the agenda."

After the party, Liu Yifei was still chattering in the passenger seat.

"Give them a big gift when you get married." Li Mu smiled, still concentrating on driving.

Although it is late at night and the traffic is no longer as noisy as it was in the evening, safety is still the top priority.

The film and television industry is still very dull. After "I Am Not Madame Bovary" accumulated 4 million yuan, it has basically no stamina.

Two films that received great reviews in North America, "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Sully", were also released, but their box office success was limited.

As the debut film of Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo, "Twenty-Eight-Year-Old Minor" can only be described as acceptable and did not cause much waves.

However, an industry insider named "Laphroaig40" revealed that some young actors were unprofessional. As the filming schedule was tight, the crew had to use real people as molds and custom-made two human skin masks to serve as stand-ins for the filming.

Song Jia then commented on her Weibo, jokingly saying, "In the end I found that it was even better than the real person acting," which immediately caused heated discussion.

The screenwriter broke the news and the actors joked about it. With these two layers of protection, the news became more and more true.

And it is rumored that he was paid nearly 100 million yuan but only filmed for two days.

Netizens turned into Sherlock Holmes and finally located the person on the now very popular Yang Yang.

Breach of contract, disrespect for seniors, questionable character, frequent lateness, unprofessionalism, using a real person as a mold, making two custom-made human skin masks, and using them as a stand-in for filming. All kinds of negative news are available.

"Well, compared to those actors who have to use stand-ins to wear human skin masks, our TV series is simply better."

Li Mu praised while watching the edited episodes of In the Name of People.

These veteran actors have really strong acting skills. For example, Hou Yong made a bowl of noodles boiled in plain water taste like fried noodles with soybean paste.

Li Mu was also amazed when he looked at the scene again.

From looking at Lu Yi with eyebrows stretched out - eyes sinking - eyebrows falling with them - looking down at the face - frowning slightly and chewing - smiling while chewing.
If you slow down the camera seven times for a two-second performance, you can see that every frame is a drama.

"We spent our money on the right things, unlike those crews who spent their money on traffic, which is putting the cart before the horse."

Li Lu also feels that today's TV dramas have completely gone in the wrong direction. Acting skills are no longer needed when filming a drama, and they just look for actors with large traffic to endorse them as if everything has been accomplished.

"I think the editing is very good. Director Li, Director Fan, what do you think?" Li Mu asked after watching the general outline of the episode.

"Hahaha, it's wonderful, well-made, and much better than the current TV series. To be honest, I regret selling it to Mango TV now."

Li Xuezheng laughed loudly without showing any regret on his face. After all, the money he got was the real profit.

"Director Li has a good eye. After seeing the editing results, I know that Director Li Lu has made a masterpiece."

Fan Ziwen was also very satisfied, and the task was successfully completed.
