Any self-motivated nation and group is eager to be recognized by the world's authorities.

Academics from all over the world want to win the Nobel Prize, athletes from all over the world want to win the Olympic championship or the World Cup, and the same is true for the literary and artistic industry.

Not only have Chinese films had Oscar feelings for many years, but all countries in the world, including Hollywood in the United States, have deep Oscar feelings, no matter which country's filmmakers hope to win an Oscar award, and Huaxia filmmakers are the same.

Li Mu is not an actor, not a director, or a screenwriter, but he is the boss of a film and television company, if the Huaxia film industry can't make a film that can win the Oscar at this stage, then as the boss of the Huaxia Film Company and a capitalist, it's always okay to invest in a film that can win the Oscar, right?

With the size of DreamWorks, as well as DreamWorks' current intention to fully cooperate with him, Li Mu can easily let DreamWorks work for himself, in the final analysis, a big director like Spielberg, like a third-rate director who specializes in making low-cost digital movies for movie channels in Huaxia, is a part-time worker in the industry, since he is a part-time worker, then in the eyes of capitalists, the core difference is who is more valuable.

If you can't afford to pay money, the casual workers who are squatting at the head of the bridge and waiting for work will not give you any effort; if you can afford the money, not to mention Spielberg, the whole of Hollywood will also become your salaryman, Li Mu wants money and money, resources and resources, influence and influence, and the Makino ticketing system, which is the iron chain that chokes the film industry from the audience level, it is too late for DreamWorks to stick to itself in the future, and it is impossible to refuse his request for cooperation.

On the way to investigate, Li Mu had already made up his mind, as soon as he got the copyright of the American version of "Infernal Affairs", he would immediately find DreamWorks to land with him, and Makino Imaging would exceed 60% or even higher in terms of investment ratio, shareholding ratio, and voting rights ratio.

Huaxia capital's impact on the Oscars, which itself is not just to win fame, more importantly, the impact and replacement momentum of the new capital of the East on the old capital of the West, if the Chinese capital begins to pour into Hollywood on a large scale, it indicates that Hollywood must bow to the Chinese film market, which is why after 2008, a large number of Hollywood blockbusters began to integrate Chinese elements, Chinese actors and Chinese corporate advertising placement, in the final analysis, this is because of the capital of Huaxia came in.

As for "Flying Tigers", which is now cooperating with DreamWorks, Li Mu's pinning on it is to impact high box office and high influence, so as to achieve the worldwide popularization of the history of the joint anti-Japanese resistance of China and the United States, and he does not hold the hope of using it to impact the Oscars.

In the final analysis, this movie is a commercial war film, and then it also has a certain output of mainstream values, the Oscar itself does not like the theme of war, and it will be cautious and cautious for such a film, so it is basically impossible to rely on it to have a big gain at the Oscars, not to mention the "Flying Tigers" that embodies the joint resistance of China and the United States against Japan, even if it is "Pearl Harbor" by the Americans themselves against the Japanese only won the Oscar for Best Sound Editing, which is quite a lot of water in the Oscars.

But the American version of "Infernal Affairs" is different, as long as this movie is tied to Martin Scorsese, it is appropriate to win the Oscar, after all, a big director like Lao Ma, the Oscar must give him an explanation anyway, and the American version of "Infernal Affairs" is Lao Ma's best reputation film since 1990's "Goodfellas", if the Oscar decides that Lao Ma must be given a Best Director Award, then there is no doubt that the American version of "Infernal Affairs" is the most suitable carrier.

From this point of view, Li Mu needs the copyright of the American version of "Infernal Affairs" to make Huaxia Capital successfully enter the Oscars, and Martin Scorsese needs the American version of "Infernal Affairs" to achieve the highest honor as a director at the Oscars, and even if it is done properly, Leonardo can rely on this film to achieve his own highest honor as an actor, so Li Mu is determined to win this project.

……

The site selection and investigation of the film and television base has not been made public, Li Mu and Wei Lan, Chen Ze, and Song Liang have made a general investigation at the junction of Yanjing, Jinshi and Langfang, and the content of the investigation is mainly the investigation of the terrain and the use of the land.

If you want to build a large-scale film and television base, you must need a development area of nearly 100 square kilometers, Li Mu's goal is not to copy a Hengdian, but to make a much stronger than Hengdian "new Hengdian", not only to combine film and television base and tourism, but also to combine the support of film and television production, as well as post-production and other related industries, so we must first determine whether the target address has such a large area of plain land, and then investigate the cost of land.

The southeast of Yanjing is actually a treasure land of feng shui, and Yanjing from the northeast counterclockwise to the southwest of the nearly 300 degrees of large fan, the southeast pole has few hills, is a flat plain area and extends all the way to the Bohai Bay.

After the overall investigation, the first thing that can be determined is the topography, more than 10,000 square kilometers of land is basically all plains, so it fully meets the requirements of building a super-large film and television base, and the remaining problem is where to choose where the cost of land is lower.

The more densely populated the area, the less suitable it is for non-residential projects, because the relocation cost is too high, and the resettlement fee alone is a huge cost.

Wei Lan is much more sensitive to the land and more professional, this point is more authoritative than Song Liang, when Song Liang was still staring at the map of Haizhou to study the land, Wei Lan was already in Shanghai to control large-scale real estate projects, so in this regard, everyone fully trusts Wei Lan's ideas and suggestions.

After a general investigation, Weilan put forward his own suggestions on the spot, first of all, to come up with a budget, hire a professional aerial survey company, conduct aerial photography and aerial survey of this area, and then draw a detailed topographic map, which should clearly reflect the distribution and density of cultivated land, wasteland, homestead and enterprise land, so that Wanying can avoid the important and light layout when planning the film and television city project.

Even if you need 100 square kilometers of land, there is no need to be square or regular concentrated form, in order to reduce the cost, it can be designed into a section distribution, on the basis of ensuring the overall connection, to avoid the area with high land cost to the greatest extent, and to do this kind of large-scale real estate project planning, aerial photography and aerial survey is the best solution, the only drawback is that the cost is too high, such a large aerial survey area, the cost is at least several million, and it may be higher, but compared to such a huge project, Weilan feels that this cost is worth paying。

In 2003, the term aerial photography may not have been heard of by many people, but Weilan's vision has been ahead of the vast majority of people.

Although Chen Ze and Song Liang support the use of aerial photography and aerial survey to support the site selection, neither of them is recommended to start first, both of them feel that they should talk to the three governments first, and then formulate a general range according to the attitude of the local governments after the talks, and then ask the aerial survey company to carry out the measurement, which is also targeted.

But Li Mu was unwilling to wait.

He recognized Wei Lan's suggestion very much, and immediately said: "Our film and television base project, if we want to take advantage of Yanjing's capital influence and huge tourism resources, it is destined not to be too far away from Yanjing, so no matter what we negotiate with the governments of the three places, it is impossible to leave this area. Drawing also takes a certain amount of time, if it's late and then on the horse, then we have to wait for the drawing, I'd rather spend more money and let the drawing wait for someone. ”

Li Mu hit the nail on the head, anyway, if you want to embark on this project, you can't live or die without this place, what else do you have to worry about? Hurry up and figure out the whole terrain and land use situation, and then you will be able to see at a glance on the map which land is the most cost-effective.

The so-called patch distribution, to put it bluntly, is the same as urban greening, you have to see the stitches, avoid roads, buildings and large buildings, so most of the green in the urban aerial pictures is basically the same as psoriasis, this piece and that piece, but Li Mu's film and television base can not take a completely isolated patch distribution, even if it is to be divided into a number of different shapes, different sizes of "patches", there must be a contact line to ensure that all patches are a whole from a spatial point of view.

In order to achieve the lowest land cost on this basis, aerial survey is the most scientific and accurate solution.

After a general survey of the terrain of the area and the rhythm of taking aerial surveys first, everyone returned to Yanjing by car in the evening.

When the car entered Yanjing City, Li Ziwei received a phone call, and then immediately relayed Li Mu happily, saying: "Mr. Li, Warner accepted your offer and is willing to resell the English remake of "Infernal Affairs" to Makino Imaging for $3.5 million!"

"Great. Li Mu snapped his fingers and said excitedly: "Immediately arrange a special person to dock and complete the contract process as soon as possible!"

Li Mu did not guess wrong, the anxious Warner seemed to have just undergone a full-scale bombing, and now their energy from top to bottom was all focused on disaster relief, and they could not even enter the stage of post-war reconstruction in a short period of time, let alone post-war development.

Therefore, the English remake copyright of "Infernal Affairs", it is useless for them to hold it in their hands, it is difficult to have the energy to set up the project, and several Hollywood companies were interested in this copyright at the beginning, and the reason why it was finally taken away by Warner is because the price of $1.75 million itself is relatively high, and if Warner wants to sell it to other Hollywood companies now, no one will give him the price of $1.75 million.

Moreover, the copyright of the movie script is time-limited, and it is often only a few years to buy the popular film and television adaptation rights, assuming that Warner buys the exclusive English remake rights from Uniasia for the next five years, if Warner itself has not filmed after the five-year period, the authorization will expire, and then it will be a bamboo basket.

In this case, it is safer and more cost-effective to sell it to Li Mu at double the price!
