Chapter 228: Overseas Early Release

Li Mu nodded, the first person to eat crabs is certainly valuable, but no one dares to do the second one, in case the first person is lucky, most people can only wait until they are completely confirmed that the crab can be eaten before they eat.

Li Mu then asked, "Then Yu Dong, you must also have a move!"

Yu Dong said with a smile, "Of course, our company's "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" and "Journey to the West: Daughter Country" have passed the review!"

Hey, it is worthy of Yu Dong, who actually got these two familiar stories first, but anyone who has read Journey to the West may not be unfamiliar with these two stories.

Li Mu said, "Yu Dong really has a vision, so which one are you going to shoot first?"

Yu Dong shook his head, "It's not me who eats crabs this second, next year we will shoot "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", but we won't start filming until the second half of the year, and it is estimated that we can catch up with next year's Spring Festival, now it's not just me, there are already many people eyeing the Spring Festival stalls, thanks to Mr. Li, you!"

There is no lack of sighs in Yu Dong's words, who would believe it when Li Muhao said that there would be a schedule in China that was not inferior to the Lunar New Year?

Even Yu Dong just thinks that he is young and ignorant and too impulsive.

But looking back now, the seven-day Spring Festival holiday contributed a total of nearly 800 million box office, which is already one-eighth of last year's annual box office.

And even if the long holiday has passed, there is no diving decline at the box office now, "The Return of the Great Sage" has risen by more than 30 million per day, and "Avatar", which has been released for more than 20 days, still has more than 10 million box office receipts per day, and even "Thai Embarrassment", which has been released for a month, has four or five million.

A super schedule that can accommodate three billion-level blockbusters at the same time was born, and those major companies that had been fighting hard in the Lunar New Year file in previous years have set their sights on this virgin land that has just been reclaimed.

Li Mu is not surprised by this, even if there is no Li Mu, the Spring Festival stalls will appear in two years, and Li Mu just advanced this time a little.

However, remembering that Yu Dong said before that he was not the second person to eat crabs, Li Mu was a little curious about who was so confident that he would dare to make a movie with the theme of Journey to the West right away, so he asked his own questions.

Yu Dong said with a smile, "It's Wang Zhongjun, I heard that he is going to make a "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", it seems that he wants to find Donnie Yen to star in it!"

Li Mu couldn't imagine that Wang Zhongjun was so bold and had an amazing acquaintance in history, the original Havoc in the Heavenly Palace was starring Donnie Yen, I don't know if the Bull Demon King and the Jade Emperor are still the original actors.

In fact, he originally wanted Feng Xiaogang to follow the trend and make an embarrassing series of movies, but Feng Xiaogang disagreed, this can only be done to shoot Journey to the West. Yu Dong said one more thing.

Li Mu knows a little about following the trend of "Thai Embarrassment", in fact, not only Wang Zhongjun, but now many film and television companies are preparing.

And some of them have already started filming, and it seems that they are preparing to release it early to take advantage of the popularity of "Thai Embarrassment".

As for copyright, it's not a thing!

After all, the original "People in Embarrassment" was invested by Guangxian, and Li Mu couldn't say anything when he filmed a "Thai Embarrassment", and he didn't shoot "People in Embarrassment".

Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that "Thai Embarrassment" is a sequel to "People in Embarrassment", the movie title, characters, and plot are completely different and cannot constitute infringement.

It's like Li Mu remembered that there was a "To the Youth We Will Eventually Lose" which was a smash hit at the time, and later a "To Youth: So You Are Still Here", but this cannot be said to be an infringement.

However, this can only deceive the audience for a while, and although the movie did well at the box office a few days ago, it soon dived.

......

"Mr. Li!" At this time, Xu Min walked over, as if he was looking for something.

"What's the matter?" asked Li Mu.

Xu Min said, "Mr. Koizumi, who bought the copyright of our TV series before, is here, and he also brings people from Shochiku Film Company!"

Shochiku Film Company, isn't this the company that represented the Asian distribution rights of "The Return of the Great Sage", how did they come.

Li Mu apologized to Yu Dong and was ready to go and see what was going on with them!

"Hello Mr. Li!" Before Li Mu walked in front of them, that Koizumi Saburo immediately greeted him and shook hands with Li Mu.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, although he didn't have a good impression of the devil, Li Mu still stretched out his right hand, "Hello, Mr. Koizumi!"

After greeting Li Mu, Saburo Koizumi began to introduce the man in his thirties next to him, "This is Yuji Watanabe, director of the distribution department of Shochiku Group!"

Then he introduced Li Mu to Yuji Watanabe, "This is Mr. Li Mu, the director of "The Return of the Great Sage", and he is also the owner of a film company!"

Yuji Watanabe also stretched out his hand to Li Mu and greeted him in that unskilled Chinese, "Hello Mr. Li, I'm Yuji Watanabe!"

Yes, it is Saburo and Yuji, this neon man really doesn't know how to take a name, Li Mu held back the complaint in his heart and shook hands with him, "Hello Mr. Watanabe, I don't know what happened to you this time?"

Yuji Watanabe said, "This time I came to discuss with Mr. Li about the release of "The Return of the Great Sage" in Asia, and I watched the movie with Koizumi in the cinema before I came, and I thought it was very good. And this movie actually defeated "Avatar" in China, we think it is also a good way to promote, at present, "Avatar" is very popular in Asian countries, if we play the slogan of beating "Avatar" Monkey King, it should attract a lot of audiences, so the company decided to release it in advance on the Lantern Festival, we have prepared a copy, and we have already started to promote!"

Li Mu's face changed, I'll wipe it, you've got everything done, now tell me a hair, it'll be released tomorrow, come and tell me now, do you have such a discussion!

This little devil is so inauthentic, he didn't take Li Mu in his eyes at all, Li Mu was very angry, and the consequences were very serious!

I will definitely not cooperate with them in the future, Li Mu has already made up his mind to pay attention.

But what they say at the moment also makes sense, in Asian countries, especially in Southeast Asia, due to the relationship between the local Chinese, the Lantern Festival is also a relatively lively festival in various countries in Southeast Asia, and it does suppress "Avatar" in China, maybe the box office will give Li Mu a surprise.

"Okay, since your company has decided, it will be released tomorrow, but your company has to worry a lot about the publicity, we are just a small studio, and we really can't help with foreign publicity!" Li Mu didn't see anything strange on his face, and said lightly.

After the matter was decided, Li Mu didn't say much, just let them take care of themselves.

The special little devil still wants me to entertain you like this, so it's good to keep you down for dinner!
