Li Mu himself knows that it is not so easy to kill a competitor, because no one will sit still in the competition. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the first few days, QQ, which has been smooth sailing and monopolizing the domestic instant messaging market, has not slowed down, once they have eased up, they will definitely try every means to fight back, not to mention, there is capital behind them, capital in order to ensure that their money is not in vain, they will definitely come out as a firefighter at a critical moment, sure enough, only a week, MIH Group will come with grain, grass and ammunition and a big knife to cut meat from Tengxun in the future.

MIH's intervention made Mr. Ma suddenly think of his idea that came to mind a few months ago.

At that time, he was in a high position in the competition with Makino Technology, taking the lead, so he was only thinking at the time, first put Makino Technology on the table, take over its two core products, and then slowly develop the product concept of QQ Game Hall, but he didn't expect that the dispute between QQ Fishery and Happy Farm consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and energy, and the most important thing was the energy of the development team, so that this project has not been able to start, plus it has been hammered by Makino Technology recently, so he has never remembered this idea。

was reminded by Guo Haiming, and Mr. Ma immediately realized that the original idea of imitating the Lianzhong game hall was likely to become the key point for QQ to reverse the situation.

Immediately, Mr. Ma, who was a little excited, swept away the haze and told Dean about his idea of the game hall with great interest.

Dean was also very excited after listening, he knew the development trend of Lianzhong in China, knew that chess and card games were very popular in China, and had a very strong user viscosity, he also knew that there were great business opportunities in it, and he also realized that if QQ could integrate a game lobby, how awesome it would be.

Lianzhong's biggest problem is that the platform is single, but QQ is different, it is also a large platform with more than 100 million users, a large number of users, and a wide network of users.

Dean is his own investment master, also has a deep understanding of the Internet, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this platform is promising, I can't help but give a thumbs up to Mr. Ma and say: "Mr. Ma, this product idea is really great, I think even if you can't beat YY by relying on it, at least you can rely on it to ensure a place for QQ!"

Mr. Ma also thought so, and he said to Guo Haiming: "Inform all technical personnel, brainstorm tonight, we must sort out the product logic and needs of the game hall in the shortest possible time!"

Guo Haiming was also extremely excited, immediately nodded, stood up and said, "I'll go and inform them!"

Guo Haiming left, Mr. Ma sat back in the chair, and said to Dean: "I will dispatch most of the technical development team to step up the development of the game hall, at the same time, we imitate YY's group function and cartoon show will continue to develop, when the time comes, our QQ group should let all users build a large group of 500 people for free! The cartoon show is also promoted with the lowest discount, and with the game hall, QQ will be able to regain the initiative!"

Dean also nodded again and again, and said solemnly: "I believe that you Mr. Ma, under your leadership, QQ will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!"

……

Ning Hao, who hadn't been in touch for a few days, suddenly called Li Mu, and he said that he had written a script and was going to show it to Li Mu.

Li Mu happily agreed, and by the way, he asked him out to eat together.

At the dinner table, Li Mu got Ning Hao's bound script, and when he saw the three big characters "Thief Among Thieves" printed in black typing on the cover.

Li Mu looked at the first page curiously, and was surprised to find that this thief among thieves was Ning Hao's future famous work, and it was also the pinnacle of domestic comedy movies - "Crazy Stone".

Li Mu's expression was silent, but the more he turned back, the more surprised he felt, the story structure of the entire script was almost no essential difference from "Crazy Stone" released in 2006, the only difference is that there are some differences between the description of some storyboards and the "Crazy Stone" movie.

It took Li Mu half an hour to finish reading the script, Ning Hao looked at Li Mu nervously at this time, took him to close the script, and then couldn't wait to ask, "Boss, what do you think?"

Li Mu didn't answer directly, but asked him: "When did you have this idea?"

Ning Hao said: "This story concept, in fact, has been around since 2000, to be honest, I was influenced by the two movies "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Robbery and Abduction" by Guy Richie, so I had this story structure, but I have been staying in my head, and I have no time to write, didn't you promise me to invest in making a movie this year, so I have written this book recently." ”

Li Mu nodded, and his admiration for Ning Hao in his heart was a little more.

In the future, there are countless directors who have a hot brain, and dare to make it into a movie immediately when they come up with a bullshit idea, and the final thing is extremely sparse, and it can't be called a one-step film work at all, a really good director, a story, a scene, and even conceived in his mind for many years, and then he will shoot it with his heart after everything is ripe, and this kind of director makes a movie that can naturally be called a masterpiece.

Li Mu asked again: "Why is it called "Thief of Thieves"?"

Ning Hao scratched his head: "Isn't this trying to borrow some light from "Mission Impossible"......"

Li Mu nodded and smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, in fact, he had expected Ning Hao and his "Crazy Stone" before, starting from Li Mu's previous psychology, he didn't want Ning Hao to shoot "Crazy Stone" so early, because he was worried that Ning Hao was not mature enough now, and he was also worried that Huang Bo, the future billion-dollar actor, was not mature enough, but judging from the script, Ning Hao is now interested in "Crazy Stone" The overall context is already extremely proficient, and it should have been prepared a long time ago, as for Huang Bo, if his acting skills are not in place, he can be adjusted, which is not very important.

So, Li Mu finally expressed his opinion on the script: "The script is very good, the handling of black humor is very Gai Ritchie's style, and you have successfully localized this style, I think this movie can be made." ”

"Really?" Ning Hao asked excitedly: "Can you really shoot?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "It's definitely no problem to shoot, you can tell me what your budget is first." ”

Ning Hao instinctively wanted to say two or three million, but considering that his boss was a super tyrant, he mustered up the courage to stretch out five fingers and stammered: "Five...... Five million ......"

Li Mu waved his hand: "Such a good book, how can five million be enough, tentatively set at 20 million!"

"Two ...... Don't ......" Ning Hao's hand trembled, knocked down the beer glass in front of him, and he didn't care if the beer spilled on himself, stared at Li Mu and asked: "Boss, aren't you kidding me?"

Li Mu smiled: "Of course I'm not kidding you, a budget of 20 million, while reserving the space to increase to 30 million." ”

Ning Hao said with some trepidation: "Boss, the idea of this movie doesn't need such a high budget at all... It's enough to make it at a small cost..."

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said magnificently: "Among the 20 million, 10 million is the salary of a king-level actor. ”

Ning Hao waved his hand again and again in fright: "No, no, no, this kind of low-cost black comedy, how can you need king-level actors to join ......"

Li Mu waved his hand: "There must be first-line actors to participate in order to have box office appeal, this is market demand, unless you don't want to make money." ”

Although "Crazy Stone" was a dark horse at the box office in 2006, it was only 23 million, and the box office of "Full of Golden Armor" in the same year was close to 300 million, the box office of "Night Banquet" was 130 million, and the box office of "Huo Yuanjia" was 100 million.

If Li Mu remembers correctly, the media praised "Crazy Stone" at that time, and even CCTV News mentioned this small-budget comedy movie by name, but even so, its box office was only 2300, and the reason is actually very simple: neither the director nor the actors are famous.

If the director and actor are not famous, no matter how good the movie is, such as "Crazy Stone", but no matter how bad the film made by well-known directors and actors is also guaranteed by the market, this is the fan effect.

If "Crazy Stone" is placed in 2015 or 2016, or the lineup of that year, I am afraid that the box office will not be less than 2 billion, but in 2006, it will only be 23 million, and it will only reach this height under the premise of adding many tap water fans, so Li Mu doesn't want him to repeat the mistakes of the past, so if he wants to do it, he will do it bigger.

Ning Hao felt a little unconfident because of Li Mu's promise of 20 to 30 million funds, he said: "To be honest, I think none of the characters in this movie are suitable for first-line stars to play, because they are all very down-to-earth roles, so ......."

Li Mu said with a smile: "I think that you are an international thief from Hong Kong, and it is very suitable to find a first-line actor in Hong Kong to play, such as Liu Dehua, if he comes to play, he doesn't even need dubbing, just uses his Hong Kong-style Mandarin accent, which perfectly fits the needs of the characters in the script." ”

Ning Hao wiped his sweat and said: "Actually, I am also going to arrange a Hong Kong actor to play this role, but I think it is enough to find an outdated Hong Kong actor......

Li Mu waved his hand and said solemnly: "You can't think about the problem like this, starting from the role itself, it is true that every role does not have to introduce superstars, but if we consider the market, we must have enough eye-catching." ”

Saying that, Li Mu said again: "In addition, I see the role of your thief boss's girlfriend, you can consider Tang Wei, she is also our contracted actor now, you can let her try to appear on the camera, and Zhang Kexuan, how can he be a first-line star now, so let's also make a cameo role, there can be not many scenes, but at least when we publicize it to the outside world, we can make a fuss about him, as for Du Wei, forget it, there is really no role suitable for her."
