Chapter 254: Celebration Reception

After personally completing all the formalities of the Molong game in Shudu, Li Mo has been sitting in Shudu for nearly half a month, except for sending Fat Di back to the magic capital first.

During this period, in addition to debugging and accepting the newly purchased computers and office equipment with Lu You and others, he spent most of his time coordinating the cooperative relationship between the resident personnel and the original Wolong studio team.

Although the working atmosphere in Shudu is not as good as that of the imperial capital, magic capital, Pengcheng and other places, it also has its own advantages to opening the company here. That is, the cost of human resources is almost 40% cheaper than that of coastal cities.

The original Wolong studio had the support of Penguin Games, and many game talents who came back from the coastal areas were willing to join such a company nearby.

This is not only because the salary level of Wolong Studio has not decreased much compared with the coastal areas, but also because compared with other companies in Shudu, the working atmosphere and R&D process of Wolong Studio are closer to those in the coastal areas.

Most of the people who have been in the coastal areas are basically able to do it seamlessly.

So the project manager invited by Li Mo this time is also this way.

According to reports, Zhang Hao, who came here, said that this project manager named Li Chao. He used to work for a well-known game company in the imperial capital. Although he has not brought out many well-known products, this person is steady, down-to-earth, and willing to listen to the opinions of the team, which can be regarded as a moderate person.

Although Li Mo doesn't know much about 'whether it is correct to take the moderate route in game development', at least at this stage, he only needs the original Wolong team to be able to transition smoothly.

From this point of view, Li Chao's joining is also just right.

As for the future...... Li Mo can only say that he will listen to project reports submitted by different channels every month, and if he has the opportunity, he will come to Shudu for on-the-spot observation.

From this point of view, Li Mo may have many opportunities to be a trapeze artist in the future.

As the time entered November 2012, the box office potential of the movie "Chinese Partner" was gradually exhausted.

As a drama film that does not attract audiences with gorgeous special effects and action scenes, since its release on October 12, "Chinese Partner" has not been on the throne of the single-day or weekly box office since October 25, except for the first two weekends that successfully won the box office list.

But that's where the weirdness of this movie comes in.

Even since October 25th, Hollywood blockbusters such as "Twilight: Dawn (Part I)" and "Spy 4" have squeezed the market, but "Chinese Partner" still has not fallen out of the top three of the daily box office list......

Whether it is a daily life or a weekend, "Chinese Partner" seems to be a classic car with an old appearance but continuous and powerful engine horsepower, always following closely behind the leading group unhurriedly, and harvesting the box office little by little with its own unique slow and leisurely rhythm.

On October 21, the tenth day of release, the cumulative box office exceeded 400 million;

On October 28, the seventeenth day of release, the cumulative box office exceeded 570 million;

On November 4, the twenty-fourth day of its release, the cumulative box office exceeded 640 million;

On November 8, the twenty-eighth day of its release, the cumulative box office exceeded 700 million......

Optical Fiber Media, China Film Group, and even Wang Xiaoming's own Dongyang Alien Media Co., Ltd. have all made a lot of money.

Of course, the biggest winner is Li Mo's Molong Media.

With the habit of holding large and small celebration banquets in the film and television industry of the Celestial Empire, the celebration banquet of "Chinese Partner" is naturally on the agenda.

But this time, even Li Mo, who has always disliked participating in this kind of occasion, is smiling when he talks about this banquet.

For no other reason, Li Mo plans to use this celebration banquet to show part of the strength of Molong Media in front of everyone.

Of course, the so-called 'strength' here does not include "Dota Legend", which is still conquering the city in the game market, and the Molong game, which has just won and is gradually on the right track in Shudu.

…………

Sunday, November 12th, Royal Palace Hotel.

The celebration banquet of "Chinese Partners" will be held in the Crystal Hall here.

According to the new news obtained on the same day, the box office of "Chinese Partner" has reached 730 million, and at the moment when director Ang Lee's return work "Life of Pi" is about to be released simultaneously around the world, Li Mo predicts that the final box office end of "Chinese Partner" may be around 750 million......

As for 800 million?

That's basically hopeless.

However, this achievement is enough for the name Li Mo to go down in the history of Celestial Empire films.

Up to now, he is the youngest member of the billion-dollar box office club in the history of the Celestial Empire.

And, most crucially, the age of this guy.

In the past, directors of the Celestial Empire were able to complete a feature film before the age of thirty-five and succeeded, which is enough to be called a new talent in the directorial world.

And Li Mo has greatly improved this cognition.

At his age, as long as he is not brain-dead, at least the next twenty years will be a rising period of his directorial career......

It's scary.

It is no wonder that Li Mo decided to take advantage of this time to show the strength of Molong Media in the film and television industry......

If you miss this opportunity and can get so many people together at one time, you may have to wait until the premiere of "Get Out, Tumor" half a year later.

At half past seven in the evening, Li Mo and Fat Di took a car and went to the Imperial Palace Hotel together.

Along the way, although Fat Di seemed to be sitting in the back seat of the car, as long as she looked closely, she would find that her back had been some distance from the back of the seat, not to mention that her right hand had been tightly grasping Li Mo's left hand inadvertently......

"Xiaodi, are you nervous?"

Inadvertently, Li Mo's left hand was actually held by Fat Di and felt a little pain, no wonder Li Mo took the initiative to ask.

Fat Di didn't seem to be here at all at this time, until Li Mo asked her for the third time, she woke up like a dream and shook her head, nodded again, and finally even took a few deep breaths before turning her head and answering: "It's a little ......"

"Nothing remarkable. Li Mo was talking in his mouth, but his left hand unconsciously incorporated Fat Di's right hand into his palms, "We came here today to enjoy the attention of others...... and applause and cheers. ”

"Xiaodi, you only need to know one thing is enough," Speaking of this, Li Mo took a deep breath and showed a gentle smile, "Everything, with me!"

Just as Fat Di gradually became relieved because of Li Mo's smile, the car that was originally speeding gradually slowed down, and finally slowly stopped.

Feng Wen, the assistant sitting in the co-pilot's seat, first reached out and pressed the intercom microphone on his chest, and then turned his head to Li Mo and said, "Brother Mo, we have arrived." ”
