Chapter 876: Collective withdrawal, film and television industry suspended
On the surface, the film and television industry has not been affected too much at the moment. For example, the Weibo Night in January went on as usual.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei were naturally invited, but under the current circumstances, even if there was no work on "Changjin Lake", Li Mu would not go, not to mention that he had a lot of things to deal with on hand.

"Staff have been sent to Dandong. We will start preparations there first. It will take a lot of effort."

Huang Jianxin would occasionally talk to Li Mu to discuss the current progress of the crew.

Li Mu sighed inwardly, and then asked, "How many staff members are there?"

"Currently, more than 1000 people have been arranged, and more than 1000 people will go there one after another. The protection has been done well and high requirements have been met."

"The current situation is not optimistic." Li Mu has been keeping an eye on the news, waiting for news from the General Administration, but there has been no news yet.

"Yeah, but Director Zhang said that it shouldn't be a big problem and gave us the green light. I think it shouldn't be a big problem."

Huang Jianxin is also relatively optimistic at this time.

Li Mu also understood their psychology. After all, it didn't seem like a big deal for the time being.

"Okay, let's just follow the plan."

"."

"Mu, you seem quite worried about the crew?" Liu Yifei was very sensitive to the worry in Li Mu's heart. After all, they had been together for almost twenty years.

"is a bit!"

"It should be fine. We just need to take precautions." Liu Yifei couldn't help but comfort her.

"Yeah!" Li Mu smiled and couldn't help but touch Liu Yifei's hair.

At this moment, Huayi and Wang Zhonglei looked unhappy and were cursing in front of Wang Zhongjun.

The cause was Feng Xiaogang's movie "Only Yun Knows". Many media outlets mocked it, saying, "It is better to improve the quality of the movie than to rely on "Internet celebrities" to sell movie tickets."

Obviously, this timing is a complaint about the movie directed by Feng Xiaogang.

But now, the box office is already dismal, and after breaking the 1 million mark, it has been moving at a snail's pace. Major cinema chains have reduced their screenings, leaving only about %, which is equivalent to nothing.

After all, for this 1% of screenings, the showtimes must be the worst, late-night or early-morning shows. Who the hell wants to watch a movie at this time?

"Come on, your mouth is in someone else's mouth, are you still going to block their mouth?"

Wang Zhongjun was annoyed and waved his hand, signaling him to stop talking.

"Brother, didn't you say you wanted to ask Mengying? How is Li Mu? Is he interested?"

Seeing this, Wang Zhonglei quickly changed the subject and talked about the upcoming strategic investment.

"No, probably because he looks down on us."

Wang Zhongjun let out a breath and spoke slowly.

"He looks down on me, because..." Wang Zhonglei stopped talking halfway and spit out the words in the air, and finally stopped talking.

At this point, it is no longer Huayi's era, and Mengying Media is stronger in every aspect, except that it is not listed, but others also have the listed Maoyan.

Going public is just for financing and expanding influence, which Mengying doesn't need. Thinking of this, Wang Zhonglei's momentum weakened by three points.

"What about us?"

"Contact Alibaba, Tencent and some traditional financial institutions. I believe they will be interested in this business."

"When we have money and get through this difficult time, Huayi will come back."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhonglei immediately said with confidence that he was destined to take power and become the CEO next. He had created great achievements for Huayi in the past, so why not do it again?

Wang Zhongjun nodded slightly and didn't say anything discouraging.

Although Li Mu rarely goes out, he still takes care of some things in the company. After all, he hasn't arrived in the imperial capital yet, so he just needs to be a little careful.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Tian is here."

After Lu Yu knocked on Li Mu's door, he walked in and said respectfully.

"Oh!" Li Mu was a little surprised. Tian Xiaopeng usually stayed at Tiangong Animation and rarely came here. "Let him in!"

Tian Xiaopeng came in and seemed a little excited.

"Is it about "30,000 Miles from Chang'an"? " Li Mu walked over and sat down opposite Tian Xiaopeng.

"Yes, Mr. Li, aren't we looking for some screenwriters who are familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty and research some details?"

Hearing Tian Xiaopeng talking about the recent preparatory work, Li Mu nodded.

"Is there a problem with the progress?"

"No, I found a screenwriter who happened to have a script about the Tang Dynasty. He told me about it. Our company is also collecting information in this area. I think the story is quite good."

Tian Xiaopeng seemed to still recall the story that man told him.

"Mr. Li, in our understanding, the Tang Dynasty is mostly about the prosperous Kaiyuan era, brilliant poetry, the trauma of the Anshi Rebellion, and other general themes, but in his story, the Tang Dynasty seems to hide all kinds of strange stories.
But unfortunately, when I invited him to help us improve "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" later, he refused! "

Tian Xiaopeng still felt a little regretful when he said this.

"Oh!" Li Mu's eyes moved slightly, and for a moment he seemed to have thought of something in his mind. If he guessed correctly, this should be a very interesting web drama "Tang Dynasty Weird Stories". "What's the name of the screenwriter?"

"Wei Fenghua! Mr. Li, do you know him?" Tian Xiaopeng saw Li Mu's eyes move slightly and thought he knew him.

"Not really. I've only read his work, 'The Glory of Wei and Jin Dynasties', which is pretty good." Li Mu said with a smile.

"Has he not found an investor for his work yet?"

"I heard it's not yet, and the subject matter is a bit unpopular, but from what he said, the story is pretty good!"

"Send someone to contact him. If it's suitable, we can invest and ask him to do the subsequent repairs for our "Three Thousand Miles in Chang'an". It shouldn't be a problem."

Since we have such professional people, we should naturally make good use of them. After investing, it should not be so easy for the other party to refuse.

Although he was in charge of the script of "Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an" and wrote the overall story content, there were still a lot of subsequent details to be improved and various tasks to be done, and he couldn't just devote himself to them all the time.

"Isn't this price too high?" Tian Xiaopeng thought that Li Mu wanted to spend money on him because of "Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an" and Wei Fenghua.

"What are you thinking about? After hearing what you said, the story is actually quite interesting. Let's study it and invest in it if it suits us!"

"Oh!" Tian Xiaopeng breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought that it was just a matter of spending money to find someone. This put a lot of pressure on him. What if the new cultural series "Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an" messed up? That would be embarrassing.

After all, this new series currently holds a very important position in Tiangong Animation. This is the new development direction of Tiangong Animation. It is impossible to always be rooted in the mythology system, otherwise the audience will eventually feel bored.

Li Mu did not delay and directly called for the roadshow.

"Ask the evaluation team to contact them. Mr. Tian will be in charge of connecting you. No problem, we will take over the investment." Li Mu instructed, and suddenly thought of something, "Oh, by the way, tell Mr. Wang of Tudou Video to send someone to evaluate the show as well. If there is a show that can be invested in, we can do it together, so that he won't keep complaining that we have too few TV shows."

"I understand, Mr. Li." Lu Yu quickly wrote it down and stepped out.

Li Mu continued to talk to Tian Xiaopeng about the matters related to "30,000 Miles from Chang'an". After the discussion, Li Mu couldn't help but glance out the window. It was snowing lightly, and there seemed to be a sign of heavy snow coming.

But this year's snow was not auspicious. Li Mu looked at the snowflakes pressing on the branches outside the window. The latter seemed to be unable to bear the weight and then broke on the ground. He couldn't help but stare.

“Perhaps this is the dust of the times.”

Li Mu sighed and then drove home.

During this period of time, the news coming in did not seem to be very good, and major film and television companies and theaters also received rumors.

In order to cooperate with the Spring Festival prevention and control measures, entertainment venues have to suspend business.

Although there is no clear text yet, the news that has been passed down since ancient times is not groundless.

"Mr. Li!"

Liu Weijuan also quickly asked Li Mu for his opinion.

"It should be true. Let's handle it properly. The theaters should stop production if necessary and wait for notification." Li Mu said calmly.

"understand!"

This sudden news has caused some agitation in the industry, especially for the seven Spring Festival movies that have already started a marketing war.

Everyone was working hard on marketing, but suddenly they were confused.

"Fortunately, we don't have any movies during the Spring Festival!"

Liu Yifei patted his chest, seeming to be somewhat relieved.

"When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will remain intact! They are all affected, they are just postponing the release." Li Mu said with a smile.

"What about Xiao Baozi and the others?" Liu Yifei immediately thought of Xiao Baozi, because kindergarten is also a crowded place, and according to the current information, the risk is also very high.

"I'm afraid it will be a long time after the Spring Festival."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Liu Yifei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"She's only been in school for a few months and she doesn't need to go anymore. This is really... There's going to be a big fuss at home again."

Even a child of almost four years old would be tortured like a dog, let alone them.

Sure enough, the rumors were confirmed, it was only for one or two days at the press conference, but the film and television industry had to take action in advance, such as informing the audience about this year's situation.

On the 23rd, the day before New Year's Eve, seven films scheduled for the Spring Festival were collectively announced to be withdrawn and will be re-released on another day.

In their statements on withdrawing the films, all the companies expressed concerns about the further spread of YQ and the risk of disease transmission in the confined space of the cinema. They also said they would actively coordinate with the ticket sales platform and the cinema to properly handle the refund.

After all the Spring Festival films were announced to be withdrawn, cinema chains (or film investment) companies such as Dadi, Jinyi, Lumiere, Oscar, CGV, Mengying, and Bona also announced that they would suspend business during the Spring Festival.

As soon as the news came out, netizens were also excited.

"No way, there's no more entertainment?"

"Forget it, life is more important buddy, if you don't want to watch it this year, then don't watch it. It's not like it won't be released, it'll just be later!"

"Is it really that serious, or is it just a precaution?"
