There were many reporters here, and it was impossible for Li Mo to let them come to his house, so he met with these reporters in Yili, as well as representatives sent by various film companies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He thought about it for a while, and simply held a press conference to accept the reporters' questions.

Some things have been in the past few months, and I can give some simple answers, otherwise when I go to the United States in the future, the reporter will still ask, in Yili, I finally have a home advantage.

There are really a lot of reporters here, most of them are entertainment news reporters, there are more than 20 people, but it doesn't matter if entertainment is not entertaining, Li Mo can take the initiative to answer reporters' questions, this opportunity is too rare, and there are too many questions for them to ask.

First, a reporter from Vanity Fair, an American entertainment-oriented magazine, asked: "Lee, why did you cooperate with New Line?" Is it dissatisfaction with the seven major American film companies and the Oscar judges? ”

Li Mo said: "The cooperation with the new line was an idea that I had last year. In my heart, a good movie has two requirements, the first is to tell the story well, which is the essence of the core, and the second is to satisfy the enjoyment of the audience's visual senses, which is also one of the essences of the movie, so there are a large number of science fiction and magic films. But there's another genre that's not popular with the mainstream, and it's also creating alternative visual effects, and that's horror films. ”

It makes sense, and dozens of reporters nodded their heads.

"If you've noticed, I've had various authors ghostwrite some novels in the past, and a lot of them are horror movie material. This kind of film generally has a small production cost and a poor box office, and it is handed over to the seven major film companies, they may not be able to pay attention to it, but there are some smaller companies that will like it, so last year I thought of the new line, after all, Mr. Saya and his "Ghost Street" are too famous, by the way, I am also a fan of Mr. Saya. ”

Robert was so happy that his mouth burst into laughter and he clapped incessantly.

"Why did you announce it now, is it a bit of a coincidence in terms of timing?" The reporter continued to ask.

"Last year I did one thing, as you all know, after the Berlin Wall was torn down, I also dealt with a lot of affairs on the side of the Xiangjiang River, and then I made two movies in a row, and if there were no accidents, they would all be released in the summer, by the way, Chinese movies, not American movies...... It's finally over, and after I came back, I edited "Sleep with the Enemy", "Dances with Wolves" and "Home Alone 2" for several film companies, you think I have time to announce this cooperation? It's barely a little free until now, you say it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence. ”

But no one believes it, coincidentally, it's too much of a coincidence.

Another reporter asked about the concerns of several film companies: "Li, are you saying that in the future, you will only make horror films with New Line, and will not make films with other themes?" ”

"I said that I wouldn't buy Hollywood Studios, at most I bought Pixar with Steve Jobs, maybe some cartoons in the future, and that's all. At the moment I'm having a great time working with several Hollywood studios, and I try to spread the script to them as evenly as possible. But who dares to say what will happen in the future. If the cooperation is pleasant, continue to cooperate, if it is unpleasant, then the cooperation will be terminated early to avoid more unpleasantness. So I don't dare to say what will happen in the future, and I can't give you an answer. ”

"What do you think of the Oscars?"

"I don't know how the Oscar judges choose the Oscars, maybe they have their considerations, and I respect their considerations. But what I want to say is that if the Oscars want to attract more audience recognition, they must look further and not limit themselves to some small circles. If because I'm a Chinese...... Then I can only say one thing, it's a pity, it's not an award, it's a shame. ”

"Are you saying these judges are a disgrace?"

"I mean, I don't know, I don't know what they're thinking, and I'm not going to make an evaluation."

However, these reporters all understand that in fact, Li Mo is scolding these judges for disgrace and racial discrimination in this award.

But there were too many topics of interest to Limer, and another reporter asked: "Li, why do you think of encouraging Berliners to tear down that wall?" ”

"I was working on a new product with Steve Jobs, but there was a lot of technology missing, and I used materials to get some technical support from East Germany, so when I heard about the tragedy caused by the Berlin Wall, it happened that Berliners were marching, and I vaguely felt the hearts of the East German people, so I went to Berlin. But on the day I went to Berlin, the demonstration ended. I was about to leave Berlin disappointed, but the next day there was another opportunity, so I agitated. It should be said that the fall of the Berlin Wall is not only my own work, but also the desire of the two Berliners, and what I have done is only to push behind the aspirations of this people. ”

What did this push lead to?

It directly led to the decline of the GCD in East Germany, the reunification of the two Germanys, and the reunification of the two Germanys, but since the end of last year, the two Germany have had contacts and negotiations in various aspects, and Eastern Europe has begun to change on a larger scale.

Not only that, Li Mo also relied on the power of one person to short the entire Xiangjiang River.

These two feats, both good and bad, have attracted global attention.

So this spring, Li Merson beat the elder Bush and other big figures, and was named the person of the year by Time magazine, before that, only two China on the list of people of the year, one is the 37-year-old Chiang, the other is the chief designer, and the chief designer has been on the list twice, once in 85 years and once in 78 years.

But Li Mo did this thing...... Although Li Mo has explained, many of the above are still angry, of course, it is impossible to report it in China.

This also intrigues everyone.

"Lee, didn't you feel scared at the time?"

"To be scared is to be afraid, even though I knew that there was nothing I could do in the face of the state apparatus, and I still brought a dozen security guards with me on that trip to the GDR. However, in this life, people must try to do something meaningful within the scope of their own ability. Did I stop doing it because I was afraid? In the same way, Julian Robertson of the Tiger Fund also gave me some intimidation, should I just withdraw from the risk market? ”

Wow, more than 20 reporters have a light in their eyes, this is the fierce material.

After I went back, some of them wrote.

"You said what people want, so what do you think about your Kyoto incident a few months ago?"

"First of all, Germany is a country, but because of the Cold War, it was divided into two countries, so reunification is the desire of the Germans. However, the four major television stations in your country have also made detailed reports, and you have also seen that the Kyoto incident is the popular desire of our Chinese? As everyone knows, Chinese has always been a warm and peaceful nation, including the Ming Dynasty's great voyages, and did not promote any colonial practices, could it be that people burned and killed...... And tying up officers and soldiers and burning them alive can represent the aspirations of the Chinese, is the Chinese such a violent nation? What would you do in the United States? The same, and it will be more cruel and decisive to deal with. Finally, what I want to say is socialism, the chief designer said, it is socialism with Chinese characteristics, first of all, it is not egalitarianism, otherwise I would not stand here and talk to you. Secondly, the state is also gradually implementing the policy of more people's cooking. Either it's a one-D dictatorship, I just want to ask you one question, Singapore is a one-man dictatorship, have you ever objected? Saudi Arabia and other countries are still kings, have you ever objected? ”

"You won't question my feelings for your country, but I am a little disappointed by the actions of some rightists in your country, who have taken in a large number of democracy activists, are these democracy activists? They are thugs, murderers. Why take them in? Do you know the Great Wall, why is there such a strong hostility towards a peace-loving country that only knows how to defend? Therefore, what you are asking is not what people want, and if you don't believe it, you can casually interview the people on the street and ask them what they think. Okay, these are political topics, I'm a businessman, I have nothing to do with politics, including when the Berlin Wall was torn down, I just wanted to not let the tragedy of this wall continue, and I didn't think about anything else, including the Eastern and Western camps that you thought. ”

The reporter did not hesitate and asked again: "Don't you think that the reason why the people of East Germany opposed the GDR was because of the one-D dictatorship?" ”

"Why should there be a system, there is no system, there is no square circle, a system, should not be excluded from it, there are two aspects, the first aspect, is it trying to make the life of the people in China better, is China now trying to make the people better, is the economy developing rapidly? Second, it has no fascist and hegemonic tendencies; after the founding of New China, apart from a few self-defense and counterattack wars, has it ever invaded any country or forcibly controlled that country? Whether it's a one-D dictatorship or a ten-D rotation, these are the tables, and these two are the core. I ask you, is it important to be healthy and strong, or is it important to have a piece of clothing on your body? Besides, what is the essence of wearing clothes, keeping out the cold and covering shame, the last function is beauty, do you think the current situation in China has reached the time of beauty? And since ancient times, there has never been a perfect person, and there can be no perfect system, you have to use a magnifying glass to find shortcomings, I believe that even if the United States also has many shortcomings, otherwise with the wealth of the United States, there would not be so many homeless people. ”

Li Mo can also answer in this way: If China listens to you and the United States and does what kind of people's cooking and freedom, the whole of China, just like the Soviet Union, will immediately be chaotic, and maybe it will also fall apart, is that the result that you the United States want most? But this sentence could not be said in the end, the hostility was too strong.

So Li Mo said against his will: "As myself, in my eyes, the United States is the most powerful and wealthy country in the world, and China is the only ancient country in the world that has continued the ancient civilization to today. ”

Most reporters agree that, on the surface, Limer's attitude toward the United States has indeed been very good.

And Li Mo's words are still very reasonable.

Is there a perfect man, no, Washington is actually an extremely greedy and despicable landowner, Lincoln ordered the massacre of Indians, Roosevelt Jr. has a terrible civil rights record, and there is a suspicion that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in order to enter the war, and acquiesced in the tragedy.

The reporter still wanted to ask, Li Mo had already turned his face up, and he bowed to the security guard, and the two security guards walked over, which clearly meant that if you know each other, if you don't know each other, you will be taken out immediately.

That's the home advantage.

Without this reception, these guys would have asked in the future, but in the United States, that would be really unforgiving.

Li Mo pointed to another reporter, who asked a question curiously: "According to your statement, does it mean that you also agree with the reunification of the Southern and Northern Dynasties?" ”

"What I am talking about is the desire of the people, may I ask if there is a unified desire of the people in the Northern Dynasties?" Li Mo asked rhetorically, but he was hehe, the two dynasties are unified, first of all, you have to ask whether the Russians and the Chinese agree. But we can't underestimate these two little sticks, go backwards, and pit China again and again.

"Lee, what do you think of the Korean War?"

"First of all, at that time, it was the North Korea that had the tacit approval of the Soviet Union and attacked the South Korea, and our government could not dissuade it. However, after the so-called United Nations troops entered the North Korea, they pushed the army to the Yalu River, not only reached the Sino-North Korean border, but also the bombers crossed the Sino-North Korean border and killed many people in the northeast of our country. My view on this is that I hope that the world will try to understand as much as possible, have fewer disputes, and try to resolve disputes through negotiation. Our country's military book Sun Tzu's Art of War has been adopted by your American military academy at West Point, and there is a sentence on it: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. War, I don't like it very much! ”

In fact, in Li Mo's heart, it is not that he cannot fight, but that he must fight moderately.

That is, to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use it for a while.

This sentence can be understood in this way, after raising soldiers for a thousand days, then there will be a battle.

Therefore, the United States has done half the right thing, if it is like China's self-defense counterattack, directly attacking Vietnam, and then withdrawing, that is right, the United States has fought, and it still has to garrison troops, and it has turned the attack wars that originally worked very well into wars of attrition and protracted wars, can it still be called used for a while? To be precise, it takes 1,000 days to raise soldiers and 2,000 days to use them......

But this point of view cannot be said either.

"Lee, Forbes ranked you 45th on the list of the world's richest people, do you think this ranking is low? Also, Forbes thinks your investment in Heung Kong is a failure, do you agree? Or are you forced by state pressure to compromise? ”

The Forbes list of the world's richest people has just come out, and because he received some benefits from Halick, he greatly shrunk Li Mo's property.

But after shrinking, Li Mo's wealth is still amazing, ranking forty-fifth, if Forbes takes Li Mo's donations and last year's large expenses into account, Li Mo can steadily rank in the top ten.

However, those who understand will not take this list seriously.

But after this list came out, it caused a lot of controversy.

No one knows how much wealth Li Mo has, although the income of his various companies is relatively easy to check, and even the returns of various venture capital can be found, mainly it is not clear how much shares or proportion Li Mo occupies in the middle, because Li Mo is mostly the company's account. However, Li Mo shorted Xiangjiang, no matter how much he spent, it was more than that. For this reason, the people of Forbes had to swear that Li Mo's investment in Xiangjiang was a failure.

Li Mo replied: "I don't think it's low, maybe it's a little higher, there are many, Forbes didn't make it, such as the Rod Chels family." ”

How much wealth this family has has has always been a mystery, including Li Mo's current height, which is not very clear. Although it is impossible to reach tens of trillions of dollars as some Chinese whimsically said later, it must exceed 100 billion dollars. Even the DuPont family, the Rockefeller family, the Morgan family, the Ford family, the Watson family, the founder of IBM, and the Galvins of Motorola, which are familiar to the United States, do not know how many assets they have. Because like Li Mo, many assets have been turned into the shadows.

There was only one family, Walton and his family, and all their possessions were placed under a magnifying glass for all to see. Li Mo said this as a fact, not a pole.

Li Mo continued: "I am optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang, because the Chinese government regards it as a treasure, and even despite the country's foreign exchange shortage, it has repeatedly lent loans to Xiangjiang to help them resolve difficulties. So I don't think my investment was a failure, and there is no such thing as state pressure. ”

But none of these reporters believed it, but Li Mo denied it, and they couldn't help it, another reporter asked: "Some people say that when you crashed in the Japanese stock market, you made very little profit, thinking that you were exhausted, do you agree with this statement?" ”

There is no such thing as Jiang Lang's exhaustion in English, but the reporter used "at one's wits end", which can be regarded as exhausting the mountains and rivers, exhausting the wisdom and skills, and exhausting the talents of Jiang Lang.

Li Mo smiled and said: "Investment is divided into short-term, medium-term, and long-term three, if you only refer to a single investment, maybe this single investment is not very ideal, after all, the funds in my hands are not enough to support me to short the Japanese stock market." But my investors handed over the funds to me, not to me to make a single investment, but a number of investments, often less takes two years, more needs several years, I will only pay dividends once, you say, do I have Jiang Lang talent? ”

In fact, Li Mo is in Japan, and it is already very good to be able to snatch 20% of the return from the tiger's mouth, but let the Tiger Fund bear this notoriety.

The reporter was also speechless.

It won't take two years, only compressed to one year, which will include Li Mo's short Xiangjiang, so how impressive will the return rate of Li Mo's several funds become.

In fact, many people understand the truth, but under some people's plausible remarks, there are really many people who don't understand it half-understandably, and they have a negative view of Li Mo's investment.

The reception took Li Mo nearly three hours to answer more than 60 questions from various reporters before it was announced.

Dozens of reporters happily left Yili's conference room, preparing to go back one by one, ready to send a press release back to China. Today made them so overjoyed and happy, any Li Mo's answer can be regarded as big news, and so many questions have been answered.

Li Mo looked at the representatives of several film companies and said: "I know what you mean, I just want to say that I am cooperating with New Line in horror films, and you all come up with a Li Mo agreement, do you want this quota to fall on horror films?" Besides, I have a cooperative relationship with several of your companies, and I have not sold myself to any of you. ”

The latter sentence is heavy enough.

None of the representatives of the companies spoke, and none of them left.

If it was this time last year, Li Mo's words might not have caused the companies to be cautious. But this year is different, last year's global box office of the five films reached more than 1.9 billion US dollars, and the North American box office alone reached 1 billion US dollars, and the total box office of North America at the end of the year in recent years was only about 5 billion US dollars, and in the early years, it was only more than 300 US dollars, that is, Li Mo alone contributed nearly 20% of the North American box office last year, and it was contributed by five films.

Several companies are not very opposed to cooperating with the new line in horror films, they are afraid that Li Mo will also cooperate with the new line in other films, and what is even more afraid is that Li Mo has the idea of directly entering the film industry, and Li Mo now has this capital. It doesn't take much, buy some theaters, and then buy a small and medium-sized film company, unlike Sony that spends so much money and goes directly into the film industry. There is no doubt that there will be a nightmare for all Hollywood studios.
