Chapter 875 The Beginning of a Major Change in the Film and Television Landscape

"Ah, you said Huayi asked you if you wanted to make a strategic investment in them?"

After Li Mu returned, he also mentioned this matter to Liu Yifei.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"No, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect Huayi to be in such a bad situation." Liu Yifei said while chuckling and rubbing Li Mu's shoulders.

"What do you mean it's so miserable? It's obvious that Mengying Media has the upper hand!"

Li Mu was not satisfied with Liu Yifei's answer, but he should at least praise himself and give some emotional value, right?

"Yes, yes, yes!" How could Liu Yifei not understand Li Mu? She quickly praised him, "So Huayi will not consider companies like Bona Ray?"

“They probably won’t consider it, because the two companies don’t have enough funds. Huayi has what they have, but it’s not as good as Alibaba Pictures and Tencent Pictures.”

"It seems so!"

Liu Yifei is no longer a newbie now and has a certain understanding of these things.

"Mom, I want to give Dad a massage." The little boy who had just finished playing with Ala came running in and said happily.

Li Mu almost wanted to slap his forehead.

Although the little Baozi was filial, it was not a massage at all. He just rode on Li Mu's shoulders and pounded him gently with his little hands, calling it a massage.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you the seat."

When Liu Yifei saw Li Mu's expression, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Hehe, Dad, please pick up the nest." The little bun was at Li Mu's feet, looking at Li Mu expectantly with cute eyes.

"bring it on."

Li Mu was helpless, but after all, she was his daughter.

"Whee!"

Li Mu picked up the little bun and placed him on his shoulders. Fortunately, the backrest of the sofa was high enough, otherwise Li Mu would have to worry about whether he would fall down.

"Toot, toot, toot."

"Da da da!"

"Toot, toot, toot."

"Da da da!"

The little bun gently patted Li Mu's shoulders with his little hands while humming.

Li Mu was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Toot, toot"

"What a cold duck!"

"Hide in the Northeast and play in the mud!"

"Although the Northeast is not a place like this!"

"."

"Are the songs you listen to recently so abstract?" Li Mu really couldn't guess where the little kid learned this from. He could only have learned it from the songs that the adults occasionally played.

The most likely one is naturally Liu Yifei.

"I don't think I've missed it." Liu Yifei felt like she was hearing this song for the first time.

"I found it on my mom's computer." The little kid shouted, "It's so fast."

"Oh, I remember now. I seem to have clicked on Bilibili one time, but it was not closed. I guess the little bun clicked on it at that time." Liu Yifei covered her forehead and was still laughing. She couldn't help laughing because of the magical lyrics.

"Yes, I learn very quickly. What did you learn in kindergarten?"

Li Mu changed the subject, and it was the little bun's turn to get nervous, his eyes rolling wildly.

“There are so many shoes!”

"How much is a lot?"

"Just tie a lot!"

Hearing the little bun telling him a tongue twister, Li Mu couldn't help but laugh, and didn't ask any more questions.

Li Mu already understood this answer, but kindergarten is for playing, so it doesn't really matter whether students learn anything or not.

"You, you, just remember what your father said, if you can learn, then learn, if you can't learn, then eat more."

Liu Yifei tapped the little bun's forehead helplessly.

"Dad said so. He gave me money."

The little bun stuck out his tongue and patted Li Mu's shoulder happily as always.

Liu Yifei made the little bun laugh, "I can't do anything to you."

"."

The film and television industry still showed no signs of improvement in December. Although Wei Ya’s live broadcast room sold 12 movie tickets, it still couldn’t save the subsequent weak box office performance of “Only Yun Knows”.

After 6 days, the box office of "Only Yun Knows" finally exceeded 1 million, or it can be said that it barely broke million. This result is not good for Feng Xiaogang.

After the film grossed over 100 million yuan, Feng Xiaogang wrote an article expressing his feelings, and even recalled the situation when "A World Without Thieves" grossed over 100 million yuan. Compared with the box office of "Only Yun Knows" which grossed over 100 million yuan, the lofty sentiments of that year and the low-key and cold attitude of today form a sharp contrast.

However, perhaps the only one who could respond to him was himself nearly twenty years ago.

Brother Chen Kai was also touched by Feng Xiaogang's words in his spare time. Times have changed, new directors have emerged, and the box office of their films often starts at 30 to 30 billion. It would be embarrassing to celebrate if it was not for "My Motherland and Me" that saved him. He would also be considered a billion director, and perhaps he should be added to the list of those who are feeling emotional.

“Times have really changed.”

Zhang Yi looked at this director who used to compete with him for schedules, and could not help but sigh as he saw the reluctance and sadness in his old age written between the lines of his writing.

"Director Feng is really not suitable for art films!"

Li Mu felt that Feng Xiaogang was putting his efforts in the wrong place, and of course he was too far away from the masses and no longer had the kind of brilliance that he had when he rose from the earth.

Of course, it is also true that Choi Young-won made an indelible contribution.

The directorial work of several people is still in progress, and there is actually only about a month left before filming begins.

Just as January was about to arrive, the whole country was shocked by an announcement from the National Health Commission.

"My dad just called me and told me not to go back to my hometown recently."

When Li Mu came back that day, Liu Yifei specifically told Li Mu about this.

"Where is uncle now?"

"Still in Paris!"

"Well, we have to be more careful. I see everyone has started wearing masks. Be careful when going out."

Li Mu nodded. Masks were always available at home, so there would naturally be no shortage of them now.

"Yeah, go out less. Where is your job?" Liu Yifei asked worriedly.

"It's okay. Unless it's necessary, I can also do it remotely. The general direction has been finalized."

Li Mu stroked Liu Yifei's hair and comforted her.

This incident was a complete bombshell to the film and television industry.

Although the situation seems to be under control at present, no one knows what will happen in the future. The CEOs of major film and television industries, who are particularly sensitive, have begun to communicate with each other.

Because if something goes wrong with this kind of thing, one of the biggest impacts will be on the film and television industry.

We had experienced similar things in 02.

"I hope it's a false alarm."

Wanda, Zeng Maojun frowned and couldn't help praying.

Although Wanda Cinemas seems to be doing well on the surface, it is slowly paying for the consequences of its disorderly expansion in recent years. If some uncontrollable factors arise again, it will be no joke.

Wanda Films may suffer an unprecedented blow.

On the other hand, Li Mu instructed Liu Weijuan to prepare emergency plans, respond to calls, and remind employees.
Wang Changtian also called, and what he said was also about the hottest topic at the moment.

"Boss Wang, let's be prepared and make plans to prevent any accidents." Li Mu reminded, "We don't understand scientific things, but as the person in charge of the company, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace."

"Indeed!" Wang Changtian sighed. "The good days of the film and television industry won't last long. I really don't want anything to go wrong, but we do have to be prepared."

Li Mu nodded and didn't say much. Wang Changtian naturally had a countermeasure in mind for this kind of thing, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to control the light to such an extent.

Although Guangguang is also a little short of funds, it is not as tight as Huayi, so it won't be a big problem as long as they can get through it.

In 2020, the New Year's Day period will be the first to start. Although the news has come out, the film and television industry has not yet been directly affected.

"Love", "Angel Has Fallen", "Happy New Year, Dear", "The Sky".
This schedule is also extremely fierce, with 15 movies released on December 12st and January 31st, plus a portion of the Lunar New Year films left over, it can be considered a melee.

But there are almost no blockbusters here, most of them are low-budget films.

Only one movie made it out of this, "Beloved", which won the New Year's Day box office championship with a first-day box office of 1.7, while the rest of the movies all failed.

This time, it can be said that the winner takes all, because the competitors were too weak, which led to the mediocre and even barely passing movie "Love" becoming the king.

As for "Changjin Lake", they have already started mobilizing personnel and are preparing to start filming on the third day of the Lunar New Year after the Spring Festival.

There are only about twenty days left, and because there are many foreigners involved and their visa issues, they all have to be dealt with in advance.

"Director Huang, we have to ask the bureau for instructions. After all, you know the news outside. If there are any changes, this work will be in vain."

Li Mu couldn't help but worry. He still wanted to make an effort to see if he could recover some losses for the crew.

"I have considered this, but the General Administration is very strict and may not agree with our suggestions. After all, the tasks are fixed. If we don't start shooting within the date, we will never be able to finish it."

Huang Jianxin was also worried. This matter was stuck here and it was difficult to deal with.

"Let's go ask Director Zhang together!"

Li Mu took the lead. After all, she was the chief producer and needed to be responsible for the film.

"Okay, wait a moment, get me a hat, it's too cold outside." Huang Jianxin hurriedly took a large fleece military cap from another office.

The two of them came to the bureau quickly.

Li Mu also carefully talked to Zhang Hongsen about his current concerns.

Zhang Hongsen also had a complicated expression, and then he still said firmly, "To be honest, I have no news now, but in the absence of notice, we should proceed according to the plan, otherwise there will not be enough time."

Li Mu had no choice. It was just as Zhang Hongsen said. If they paused and waited, then even if nothing happened, the time risk for the crew would increase.

But if something happens, there will be other risks for the crew, such as financial loss and staff detention.

This is a dilemma. No one dares to draw conclusions about something that hasn't happened yet.

"Make protective preparations. I will notify you as soon as I am notified."
