China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 69 Star Dream Culture
Li Mu soon took Will Smith back to the "I Am Legend" crew and continued working.

This is the focus of Li Mu’s follow-up work.

Occasionally I read the news in the email, and the first week box office of "The Pursuit of Happiness" has been released, which was more than 900 million.

Among Li Mu's movies released in China, the box office of this movie in its first week is really not high, or even a little low.

But there are no empty voices in the industry. Everyone knows that this movie was released in North America in December, and it was not released in China until half a year later.

Insiders once predicted that the film would earn around 500 million in its first week and around 1000 million in the second half.

Unexpectedly, this number has almost doubled.

For a while, the Internet was a little restless, and there were more and more comments.

Li Mu didn't pay too much attention to it. It was about the same as expected. According to this trend, the box office before the movie was released was probably less than 2000 million.

And it was followed closely by one of the pinnacles of racing movies, "Initial D".

Li Mu also had the idea of ​​​​this movie. He liked Ryosuke Takahashi's invisible showmanship in it.

Teacher Guan Xi is still a bit inferior, but Li Mu feels that he is no worse than him. Playing this role will fascinate thousands of girls.

Nissan GTR, known as the "God of War", was once defeated by the Lamborghini LP640. Li Mu made up his mind to buy one when he went back to enjoy himself.

This can be regarded as the pinnacle of Zhou Milk Tea. The second prince in the back is really embarrassing.

It seems that he dumped Jolin Tsai and fell in love with Hou Peicen. There have been a lot of scandals about him recently.

CJ Entertainment also continued to reply, inviting Li Mu to DreamWorks, and everyone continued to communicate and cooperate.

I even made a special call a few days ago, and Li Mu didn't refuse. He first finished the filming of "I Am Legend" and then communicated with CJ Entertainment.

Nothing went wrong after the filming.

The domestic box office of "The Pursuit of Happyness" was finally set at more than 1800 million.

Many people sent messages to congratulate Li Mu and wanted Li Mu to hold a celebration banquet.

Li Mu is too embarrassed to expose them. Do you want to celebrate?
Time flies by so fast, it's almost August, and Li Mu is working hard on filming "I Am Legend". The Chinese entertainment industry is already feeling a bit shaken.

First, Huang Shengyi vowed to break away from Xing Ye to the death. I have to say that this is a great move. The first sword to become popular is to kill the popular person first.

The mute girl with braided braids, white shirt and cloth skirt has become many people's "White Moonlight" even though she has no lines.

I have to say that this person's vision is a bit poor.

Li Mu also glanced at other small things, such as Zhou Xun's termination of contract with his "mentor", Lu Yi's break with Xin Suo, etc.

For Li Mu, the more important thing is naturally the termination of Wang Jinghua's contract.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and some media have already reported that Wang Jinghua and his artists have collectively switched jobs.

In fact, there were already signs of this in June this year, with agents leaving one after another, and Wang Jinghua has rarely appeared in the company since then.

In addition, Feng Xiaogang's new work "The Night Banquet" did not include any of Huayi's own artists.

Feng Xiaogang was also stimulated and prepared to teach himself a lesson and do something big.

Huayi also knew very well that on the one hand, the big and small kings wanted Wang Jinghua to get out of the house, but the artists under him had to stay.

After all, if these artists "change jobs" on the scale reported by the media, the company will be "empty", so now the two parties are "negotiating conditions" and are just one step away from breaking up.

Wang Jinghua is not that easy to fool, and important artists are basically signed under her name, not under Huayi.

This is also where Wang Jinghua’s confidence lies.

Moreover, she has been in contact with multiple companies during this period, just to prepare for the subsequent termination of the contract.Cheng Tian is currently the most active, but Wang Jinghua is thinking about Li Mu.

A great director who can make it in Hollywood is so attractive, not only to her, but also to his artists.

Li Mu's dialing records have already communicated with Wang Jinghua many times.

The two parties have been negotiating the terms for a long time, and Li Mu does not want to arbitrarily include artist management companies under his banner. Although the artist business will make money in the future, it will also cause a lot of troubles.

We have to filter out some people first and establish some rules. At least Mengying doesn't need unqualified artists.

For this reason, Li Mu specifically emphasized the artist's rules to the other party, saying ugly words first, because if something goes wrong, don't blame Mengying for not taking action.

Secondly, in the subsequent artist management contract, Mengying will intervene and have veto power.

Li Mu's positioning of artist management companies is "high quality rather than high quality", and it is still very necessary to control artists.

Wang Jinghua also recognized Li Mu's positioning. As the number one agent in the industry, she was not in vain.

Wang Jinghua finally chose to cooperate with Li Mu, and Wang Jinghua and Mengying jointly established a new artist management company. Mengying held 71% of the shares and Wang Jinghua held 29%.

The name of the new artist agency has also been decided, Xingmeng Culture Agency Co., Ltd.

On the surface, Wang Jinghua is the person in charge, and Li Mu's Mengying Media is hidden behind it and is the actual controller.

Li Mu also told Wang Jinghua that Mengying only focused on the choice of artists, and Wang Jinghua, the CEO, was responsible for other matters. As long as he did not violate some rules, Mengying would not interfere too much in the affairs of the agency.

Li Mu also specially asked Liu Weijuan to register a number of additional companies under Mengying and become its subsidiaries, both at home and abroad. Through cross-shareholding, he finally achieved 71% control of the artist management company.

This is also a precautionary measure. It is estimated that the industry will not be able to hide it for a long time. As long as clues are revealed, there will always be smart people who can guess it, but it can be sustained in the short term.

What Li Mu wants is to hide the seemingly complicated shareholding structure from the general public.

It is necessary for Mengying to hide behind his back, especially if one of his artists acts stupidly, Mengying will not be too passive.

Wang Jinghua's ability is quite good, and she is the talent Li Mu needs, otherwise he would not communicate with the other party many times. Her joining also makes up for the shortcomings of Mengying Media's artists.

You can't rely on other artists to support events like premieres. It would be a bit of a loss of face for Mengying.

While Li Mu was dealing with filming matters, he also had to think about Wang Jinghua's artist company.

The time has been set. Wang Jinghua will terminate the cooperative relationship with Huayi on August 8, and a new company will be established thereafter.

At this time, in the office of Chairman Huayi, Wang Zhongjun was looking sad, and the room was filled with smoke.

"Brother, what should I do? Wang Jinghua is already determined to leave. There are not many artists left." Wang Zhonglei also looked angry.

"If you want to leave, you can't stay. Do you know where she is going?"

"There is no news yet. I heard that the probability of going to Chengtian is very high."

"By the way, where is Li Binbin?" Wang Zhonglei said immediately.

"Her sister is a smart person. Please urge Xiaogang to hurry up." Wang Zhongjun's eyes narrowed. Although Wang Jinghua's departure has brought a lot of trouble to Huayi, as long as Feng Xiaogang is still there, Huayi will Art is not afraid of trouble. Once the movie is made, doesn’t the money come rolling in?

With Wang Jinghua's imminent departure, the media are crazily singing the negative news about Huayi.

"Huayi has been hollowed out!"

"Huayi is about to experience an epic collapse!"

To the outside world, Wang Zhongjun still said "harsh words": "It would be more like it if I left. Huayi can be without anyone."

Li Mu watched all this with a melon mentality, but his mind was still focused on the set, directing the crew to shoot.

At this time, a domestic number dialed
