Chapter 1670: Finale Party
Wall Street's valuation of Weibo titter has once again amazed the world at Li Mu's business talent, and Li Mu's achievement of Weibo titter by suppressing Mars is also a commotion worthy of being recorded in the history of capital in the eyes of Wall Street.
Li Mu proved with his actions that an Internet product may not only rely on the number of users, influence, and revenue potential to demonstrate its value, and can even use destructive power as a powerful supplement.
A Weibo titter can suppress a Fortune 500 traditional enterprise breathlessly, and the blocking ability of public opinion is so strong that it is like the Marble Mountains, which makes Mars suffer a lot, and is even forced to grovel and apologize, and take out 100 million US dollars to calm the people, this destructive power alone is enough to make the world look sideways.
Just when the world's authoritative financial media wanted to give Li Mu an exclusive interview, Li Mu turned down all interview invitations and began to think about who would take over the Weibo titter in the future.
Weibo titter in its own golden stage, the world's capitalists are particularly optimistic, in this era without rivals, it is even more frantically sought after by global capital, but due to the limitations of the product itself, it will be impacted sooner or later, and the market value will return to reason sooner or later.
For Li Mu, the social platform in the future PC field, it is completely enough to have the super giant Facebook, as for the Weibo titter, after the arrival of the mobile Internet era, it may not even be able to hold the market value of 3 or 400 tens of billions.
Therefore, Li Mu's best solution is to pull the market value of Weibo titter to the highest, and then find a fool to take over.
If you strike while the iron is hot, make the Weibo titter independent and listed separately, you can gradually reduce your holdings and cash out at a high level in the stock market, and then let the shareholders take over for the Weibo titter, but this way of operation is very uncharacterful, and there are many restrictions on the stock market, and there are many restrictions on reducing holdings.
The best way to do this is to sell it to a tycoon, a big business, or a big chaebol.
In this way, there is no need to go public, and there is no need to be supervised by any institution, as long as the price is agreed, Li Mu can directly sell the Weibo titter and exchange it for a large amount of cash, after all, although he is not 100% controlled by Muye Technology, but the voting rights are 100%, and all shareholders obey him.
It's just that this big fool is really hard to find, there must be a lot of people who want to buy Weibo titter, but there are really not many who can afford it.
Li Mu really wants to sell Weibo titter to Microsoft, because Microsoft can afford to make money, and Microsoft has always wanted to return to the field of Internet social networking and portals, but unfortunately he was beaten all the way by himself, and now he has completely given up this business.
I don't know if they still have this idea in their hearts? If so, the future is really the most ideal pick-up man for Weibo titters.
Just when Li Mu was quietly thinking about Microsoft, the entire crew of "Flying Tigers" was completed, and the American actors and staff had already taken the charter plane provided by Li Mu and flew to Yanjing to meet Li Mu.
Under Li Mu's arrangement, they will rest for two days and one night in a five-star hotel in Yanjing, and then return to Hollywood in a Boeing 747 chartered by Li Mu from Air China.
In order to celebrate the completion of the movie, Li Mu chartered the banquet hall of this five-star hotel and held a full-fledged American-style party, Du Wei naturally followed Li Mu to the scene early, after all, this party was actually prepared for Du Wei alone.
Du Wei is young, simple and emotional, she has worked and lived with the crew for a long time, and treats them as good friends, she hopes to reunite with the crew in Yanjing, Li Mu arranged this party for her.
In addition to the cast and crew who want to return to the United States, the domestic cast and crew in Yanjing have also been invited, and there are two or three hundred people at the scene, which is so lively.
However, among the people who participated in this party, except for Li Mu and Du Wei, no one else knew Li Mu's motives, especially Spielberg, he also felt that Li Mu really regarded himself as an excellent friend, so he arranged it so well.
After the party began, Li Mu invited Spielberg, as a director, to come on stage to say a few words to everyone, Spielberg picked up the microphone and said: "I think that at this moment, all the cast and crew of "Flying Tigers" should first thank Mr. Li Mu, who actively discovered this story that was almost dusted by history, and it was he who used huge investment to achieve this meaningful movie, let us first give the warmest applause to Mr. Li!"
All the cast and crew at the party applauded, and Li Mu waved to everyone with a smile on his face, which was a polite response.
After the applause gradually stopped, Spielberg said: "It is a great honor to have the opportunity to cooperate with everyone here in the past few months, you are the most professional team I have ever met, everyone is impeccable, next, please give applause to yourself and the partners around you!"
The scene once again applauded.
After a while, Spielberg looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "Next, let Mr. Li Mu Li say a few words to everyone!"
With that, Spielberg had already taken the lead in applauding.
Li Mu didn't refuse, stood up and walked to the stage, took the microphone from Spielberg's hand, and said with a smile: ""The Flying Tigers was successfully completed, and everyone here is an indispensable hero, so here, I want to say thank you first, everyone has worked hard." ”
Subsequently, Li Mu said: ""Flying Tigers" is the largest cooperation between Chinese films and Hollywood films in history, and its successful completion also shows from a practical point of view that culture has no national boundaries, and the ultimate goal of the cultural market is not that American films go to China, or Chinese films land in the United States, but that film and television works and markets around the world are integrated, inclusive, and cooperative. So, in my personal opinion, I hope that this cooperation is a new beginning of our cooperation, rather than the peak, and in the future, I hope that we will have the opportunity to work together to make more and better films. ”
"Finally, once again, thank you for your hard work, I believe that "Flying Tigers" will definitely become an excellent work that will go down in the history of world cinema, thank you!"
After Li Mu finished speaking, he bowed slightly to everyone, and then walked down amid applause.
Among the cast and crew at the party today, at least 200 people are from Hollywood, and during the filming of "Flying Tigers", they have all seen the unmatched advantages of this Chinese boss, not only have money and resources, but also respect the practitioners, and do not interfere with the independent creation of the main creative team, everyone likes to cooperate with this kind of boss, so their impression of Li Mu is very good, when Li Mu said that he hopes to have the opportunity to work together, everyone is looking forward to the next cooperation.
For Li Mu, "Flying Tigers" is indeed just the beginning of his penetration into Hollywood, and in the near future, he will continue to extract more and better actors, technology and soft power from Hollywood in the film and television industry, so as to improve the comprehensive level of domestic films.
In the future, Li Mu's film and television base will become the largest and most authoritative film and television center in China, and at the same time, his cinema chain will also take advantage of the good opportunity of the domestic film market to rise and seize the market across the country in advance, so that he will be able to hold the three major plates of film and television works shooting, post-production and cinema in his hands in the future.
Li Mu has no intention of turning the domestic film and television industry into his own back garden, he wants to occupy the right to speak in the three sectors of shooting, post-production, and cinemas, to a large extent, in order to curb the development of domestic bad films in the future.
At that time, it will be difficult for the producer of bad movies to have the opportunity to use Li Mu's shooting base, let alone the post-production team trained by Li Mu, and if such a movie wants to be released in theaters in the future, Li Mu of other theaters does not dare to guarantee that as long as it is in his own theater, it will be difficult for bad films to get good scheduling resources.
Putting pressure on bad movies from multiple directions will make it exponentially more difficult to make money for bad movies, which will naturally fundamentally reduce the number of bad movies.
If you want to avoid the mistakes of Chinese films, the most important point is to reduce the number of bad coins and reduce the purchasing power of bad coins.
After coming down from the stage, Li Mu and the main creative team had a good time together, Anne Hathaway was very open today, and drank several glasses of champagne in a row, looking very happy.
Even Du Wei, who drank very little, drank a few glasses because she was in a good mood, and her little face quickly turned red, which was particularly cute.
After chatting together for a while, Du Wei pulled Anne Hathaway to the side and whispered.
At this time, Li Mu gathered with Spielberg, Leonardo, and Tom Hanks and drank a few more glasses of wine.
After three rounds of drinking, Spielberg raised his glass and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, I want to apologize to you for the matter of Mars, I don't know the whole story and the real reason, I plead with you for Roland Maas, it is really a bit abrupt." ”
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Stephen, it's not wrong for you to say good things to your friends, and you don't need to apologize to me. ”
Spielberg hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, you are serious. ”
Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "This matter is over, don't mention it again, we are partners, don't get too angry because of these trivial matters." ”
Spielberg nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Mu with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Li, do you know what day it is?"
"I don't know. Li Mu shook his head: "What day?"
Spielberg said, "Today is California, the day the gubernatorial race results are announced. ”
After that, he looked at the time on his watch and said with a smile: "In just over an hour, the results on the California side should be revealed!"
