Chapter 878 Donate What You Need
Sleep in, eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, play online mahjong, and play with the little bun.
"This is probably the easiest Spring Festival I've ever had."

Late at night, Liu Yifei opened her eyes, not feeling sleepy at all, facing the ceiling, and spoke slowly.

These days, I sleep in every day and have no sleepiness at all at night.

Li Mu was in the same situation at this time. Although he had an additional job to polish the script, this was indeed the most relaxing Spring Festival he had had in recent years. He made phone calls all the time and had not even stepped out of the villa.

"By the way, what are Mengying Media's plans after the Spring Festival?" Liu Yifei suddenly asked while leaning sideways, supporting her left cheek with her hand.

"What can I do? I can work from home. I can't shoot anyway. If I don't work from home, it won't make much sense even if I come back to the office."

Li Mu had asked Liu Weijuan to send out a notice long ago. Before that, everyone should work from home after the New Year.

"That's true!"

Liu Yifei nodded slowly, then looked at the ceiling. "I don't know how long it will last. If it lasts for a long time, won't many film and television companies be unable to hold on?"

"More than just film and television companies." Li Mu said lightly.

"By the way, it should be okay if we donate more."

Liu Yifei asked suddenly. No wonder Liu Yifei asked that.

Sometimes donating money is a science. If you stand out too much, you will embarrass some people and naturally, you will be deliberately excluded.

This point has been demonstrated in many aspects, and generally the amount of donation depends on the leader.

"It's okay. I'm here, so you have nothing to be afraid of. Mengying has also reaped a lot of benefits from the mainstream media over the years, and has also received some film and television subsidies. It's time to give back to society, so don't worry."

Li Mu was not worried about this at all, or rather, Mengying Media did not need to be afraid of these invisible and ugly rules in the industry.

Besides, no matter how much Mengying donates, it will definitely not be able to compare with China Film, which has its own tasks and missions.

February 2rd, the tenth day of the Chinese New Year.

The positive energy campaign #Anti-epidemic Action# jointly initiated by Sina Entertainment, Weibo celebrities, Star Charity Alliance and Micro Charity has gone online.

At one time, more than 800 entertainment and sports stars participated in it, and the reading volume of the main topic soared to over 30.6 billion, the reading volume of the sub-topic "Manual Refueling and Support" reached 25.9 billion, and the reading volume of the sub-topic "2020 Gets Better" exceeded 9 million.

Major film and television companies and performing stars have also begun to take action.

"Did we receive 20 million in subsidies last year?" Li Mu asked on the phone.

Why have main themes appeared frequently in recent years? On the one hand, it is because the country has corresponding subsidies for the filming of main themes film and television dramas, and it also calls on the film and television industry to actively participate in it.

"Yes, Director Li!"

“Well, let’s take out the subsidy and take out another 10 million to make a total of 30 million and donate it in the name of the company,” Li Mu immediately ordered.

"Understood, Mr. Li. Do you need the finance department to handle this for you personally?"

"No need, we can just fight our way over there ourselves."

"."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei put her arms around Li Mu's neck and asked, "How much should we donate?"

"Don't you have an idea in your mind?"

"I plan to donate 10 million. That's my hometown!" With Li Mu as her backer, Liu Yifei naturally didn't need to think so much.

Like in his previous life in 08, he had only filmed four TV series but he was foolish enough to donate 500 million yuan directly, embarrassing a group of people in the film and television industry. However, he was severely beaten afterwards, learned his lesson, and learned to donate in small sums multiple times.

But this small amount is much larger than the total amount of some people.

"Then I'm the same as you. Your hometown is half of my hometown," Li Mu said with a smile.

"What do you mean half? Why not one? It has to be one!" Liu Yifei hugged Li Mu's neck and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, one, one!"

"After we get well, we have to take the little one there more often so that she can experience the place where I grew up!"

Liu Yifei began to daydream and talked to Li Mu about a series of events that followed.

As they talked, they both started talking about the little bun when he grew up.

The next day, donation information from major film and television companies and celebrity artists was also reported.

Among the film and television companies, China Film Corporation was naturally the first to take the lead, directly donating all the government subsidies related to revenue totaling approximately 1.24 million yuan and government subsidies related to assets totaling approximately 229 million yuan received by China Film Corporation and its subsidiaries. And this was only the first round.

Let the industry feel what heroism is.

Shanghai Film Group has set up a 10 billion "cinema anti-epidemic relief fund" to help the cinema industry tide over the difficulties.

However, everyone was not surprised by the state-owned eldest and second brothers.

Mengying Media ranked third among film and television companies with 3000 million, a number that surprised many people.

After all, a look at all the rankings will reveal that among the private enterprises, Mengying Media is definitely not a small number, and it may even exceed the standard.

Of course, Alibaba and Tencent are even more powerful than each other.

"Awesome! It has to be Mengying Media. They are so domineering. They didn't miss this amount of money. It's more than many state-owned enterprises."

"Mengying and Wanda Films are both good. As for the others, to be honest, donating a few million is worthy of the scale of your company."

“.”Because the data was released by the media, many netizens were reading it one by one, with some praising it and some criticizing it.

"Director Li, you are so generous!" Yu Dong was also very surprised on the phone at this time.

However, when I think about the profitability of Mengying Media, I can somewhat understand it. After all, compared with them, Mengying Media's profitability can be said to be the first in the industry, and it has a big gap with the second tier.

"Boss Yu, although it's voluntary, this is a little unreasonable."

Li Mu sighed. Although Bona did not donate the least, it was about the same as Huayi, donating only one million.

Netizens are cursing at the moment.

"Forget it. The film and television industry has indeed reached a turning point. If it is not resolved in the short term, it is hard to say whether it can survive."

Li Mu also knew that the major companies in the film and television industry were the hardest hit by this wave and were storing grain in preparation for the winter.

Moreover, because of the problem of more than 2000 people stranded in "The Battle at Lake Changjin", Mengying Media and Bona also borne part of the losses caused. Although Mengying shared part of the cost, Bona also paid out tens of millions.

"It's really hard to say. I think in this situation, it will be all in vain in a few months. We'll be lucky if we can reduce the loss this year."

Yu Dong sighed and was not particularly optimistic about the future. There was no sign of Bona going public, which was considered a bad year.

As for individuals in the entertainment industry, there are many who earn 20, and quite a few who earn 50. But as for those who earn 100 million to million, there are fewer.

As for further ahead, the names of Li Mu and Liu Yifei are on it.

Seeing Li Mu's name, even those in the industry who had some opinions didn't dare to say anything, even though they would seem too shabby in comparison.

"It's okay, they make a lot of money!"

"It doesn't matter if it's less, just pretend to be dead!"

"."

Many people in the industry silently comfort themselves by thinking that getting scolded won’t hurt them at all.

"What a shame I didn't get to see your two little babies."

Liu Yifei was talking to Tang Yan on the phone at the time. Due to yq reasons, they were unable to see each other during the Chinese New Year, so naturally she could not see Tang Yan's twin boy and girl.

"It's okay. It's not like I haven't seen it on video before. I'll show it to you again."

Tang Yan was very happy and pointed the camera at the child with doting eyes.

"It's different. I really want to pinch their little faces." Liu Yifei's hands were shown in the video, as if she couldn't wait any longer.

"You can pinch the little buns. Now the little buns are so cute."

"She's cute and beautiful now, so I won't pinch her anymore."

"Hahaha"

"."

The two chatted very enthusiastically. After they had a child, the content of their conversation began to change. Li Mu clearly felt this because the frequency of mentioning certain words began to increase crazily.

On the other hand, the film and television industry wants to resume work, and Hengdian Film and Television City is the first to start preparations.

Because Hengdian “can’t wait” any longer.

You should know that there are currently more than 30 film crews in Hengdian Film and Television City, and 6000 people are stranded in this empty city. Extras have no scenes to film, and all kinds of pressure are coming, which is really powerless.

The industry was immediately looking forward to the situation in Hengdian.

Although everyone in the film and television industry is looking forward to it, all conditions do not seem to allow it, and the decision of whether to resume work or not is still in a difficult tug of war.

Major film and television companies have also started online working modes, hoping to start immediately after resuming work to make up for the lost time.

"Is Dream Shadow a big influence?"

Mother Li was a little worried when she saw Li Mu's leisurely appearance. There were all kinds of news on the Internet now, and all kinds of news filled the entire cyberspace.

“There will definitely be an impact, but it’s okay. We can definitely get through it with what we have accumulated over the years. Besides, we have two movies in post-production. As long as the theaters unlock them, they can be released. Don’t worry.”

Li Mu then hurriedly explained to let Li's mother put her worries aside.

"That's good!"

Li's mother nodded. She had also heard about this aspect. After all, Mengying Media had a very great reputation in the industry, and Mengying had a hand in most of the hit movies, so she thought there shouldn't be any big problems.

At this time, the screenwriter Wei Fenghua, who was contacted by Mengying Media a few years ago, finally negotiated with us.

"Mr. Li, according to the evaluation team's report, Wei Fenghua agreed. He was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that you were the main author of "30,000 Miles from Chang'an", he immediately agreed."

Lu Yu reported to Li Mu on the phone.

"We have 6% of the share of "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories", and Tudou Video has the rest. But the time for filming has not been decided yet."

"There is no rush for filming. We can use this time to prepare in advance. Once the notice of resumption of work comes out, we can prepare to start."

Li Mu nodded. This way, he not only got "Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty" but also found a suitable screenwriter to do the subsequent repairs for "30,000 Miles of Chang'an", which was killing two birds with one stone.
