"Pierce, please be seated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info," Li Mo said.

As he bought more and more books, the oversized study began to get a little crowded. Uncle Qin suggested that Li Mo buy an old bungalow next door, the area of the old bungalow is not too big, but it can be called an old bungalow, which is also equivalent to a villa in the downtown area, no matter how small, there are two or three hundred square meters, and there is also a small courtyard. After buying, the two old bungalows were connected, and the two villas were rebuilt to make them join together. Then the space in the home is much larger, and it can also free up enough space for Li Mo to build a larger study.

Li Mo has been hesitant.

He didn't know when the magic capital would introduce the housing reform policy.

It shouldn't be long.

Once introduced, Li Mo will build a new home in Pudong instead of here. After all, it is located in the center of the city, and there will be traffic jams in the future, and it will be very troublesome to go out.

Li Mo's big study is also famous, but few people have seen it with their own eyes.

Pierce had already heard about it, took a look, and was not too surprised, and sat down.

Li Mo took out a book manuscript and said, "This is the modified Da Vinci code. ”

Pierce flipped through it and asked carefully, "Lee, what's next?"

In the past, Li Mo and bantams, Li Mo was the weak side. Now Li Mo and bantam, bantam is the weak side. And the income from manuscript fees is becoming more and more dispensable for Li Mo.

"Dinosaur Part 3, after all, Universal and Paramount have already established a project, and the second part will be filmed soon......" Speaking of this, Li Mo frowned, in fact, he was not in favor of starting filming next year. Compared with the second lost world of dinosaurs in the previous life, the lost world after Li Mo's changes has a larger structure and more characters, including the army and dinosaurs. Nearly 20 kinds of dinosaurs appeared in the original book and the movie, and some unrelated dinosaurs don't matter, there are actually only a few important dinosaurs. It turned out that the largest dinosaur was Brachiosaurus, but in the second part, Li Mo wrote about the Argentine Titanosaurus, also known as the Ouincourt Argentinosaurus, which could weigh more than 100 tons and be 35 meters long.

As for the killers, in addition to the original Tyrannosaurus rex and velociraptor rex, Li Mo added a group attack dinosaur in the second part, as well as another killer giant beast dragon that is more ferocious and brutal than the Tyrannosaurus rex.

There are three more brutal killers, and that will have to be in the third part.

That is, the technical difficulty of filming this film is much higher than that of the first one.

In fact, the first one, if you take the first movie from another time and space, the special effects are still inferior to the first one in the previous life.

Last year, two film companies wanted to shoot, so Li Mo pressed down. This year has been pressed for a year, and the two companies have repeatedly sent people to Hao Like to mutter.

Because many "toys" were added to the second part, Lucas and Lao Si were also very interested in them, and Li Mo had no choice but to agree to let them shoot next year.

And with his change, the second novel is bigger and more readable. At least unlike the original book, the second novel is still in place, but if he wants to change it into a movie, Li Mo also said that he has a headache, and he has to let the two film companies send people to write scripts one by one, and then Li Mo will find inspiration from these scripts, otherwise the story will not be well told in a movie.

Pierce didn't know.

Li Mo continued: "I'm short on time now, so I have to start coding words from now on, so that I can release the novel before the movie is released." ”

"Yes, Lee, but this novel is finished, what are the other plans for writing a novel?"

"Pierce, to be honest, I originally promised that five series of novels, Snowpiercer is a single novel, in fact, I don't even want to write a sister chapter of the Da Vinci Code. It's just that I promised you bantams, and then I added the three books in the series of Fake Empires. After the dinosaur trilogy is finished, I will write the second part of the Empire of Fakes, and after the second part of the Empire of Fakes is finished, I will write the first of two new series of novels, but after the three series of novels and the Da Vinci Code sisters are written, I will close the pen. ”

Pierce felt sorry.

According to Li Mo, he should have written eleven to twelve more novels.

But after these novels are finished, Li Mo is still at the peak of his creative age, and it is a pity that he has closed his pen.

Actually...... The reason why Li Mo continues to write novels is because he wants this kind of fame, which is also a good protection for his industry and wealth, just like where in Europe, many arrogant Europeans look down on Li Mo, but in the hearts of Li Mo's fans, they will not have this mentality.

After these novels were written, Europe and the United States had no more ways to take China.

Li Mo doesn't need these protective colors anymore.

Li Mo said, "Pierce, you bantams should know enough. ”

He was referring to the sensation of these films, and even the novels that came with them also sold well.

The key is that these authors are ghostwriters, only have the right of authorship, and have no copyright, so Io Studio sent someone to listen to some readers' opinions, and asked authors with better writing and more consistent style to ghostwrite corrections, and many novels are the same as movies, movies are multi-part, and these novels are also multi-part. Don't look at them as garbage novels, Bantam Books can still make a lot of money from these garbage novels.

"Movies are such an amazing thing," Pierce exclaimed.

"Pierce, you're wrong, it's not the movie, it's not the novel, it's the boss. Halick corrected on the side.

During this time, Li Mo was bored at home, so that the reporter forced him not to go out.

So I changed the Da Vinci code in one fell swoop.

But I also took the time to occasionally take a look at the reports of various companies sent by Lu Jiaxiu, basically reading them, and rarely reviewing them, this is to further cultivate the independence of each company, otherwise the stall will get bigger and bigger, let him deal with it all, exhaust him to death, and he will not be able to deal with so many affairs.

I will also take time to read the lecture notes of various professors that Uncle Li and Uncle Qin have found from various colleges and universities, compare them with the textbooks, and study various knowledge by themselves at home. This boredom is that more than a month has passed, and Edward Scissorhands will also be released on December 22, which is the real Christmas file.

About a dozen films are being released at the same time these days, some "blockbusters", and some small productions, including some horror films.

The blockbuster released at the same time as Edward Scissorhands is the Angry Tiger and Dragon, don't ask about the production, just look at one of the male protagonists, Stallone.

But it can't be helped, just hit it. The most tragic thing for various film companies is that now, the love between people and ghosts is still raging, and they will continue to carve up the box office when they return to the future.

However, to everyone's surprise again, Edward Scissorhands actually suppressed the Raging Tiger Dragon, although the advantage is not too obvious, it is also Stallone's Raging Tiger Rage, and the other actor Kurt Russell is also a famous actor, Depp, is Depp famous? Or did he earn a little fame on the runway?

In fact, although this movie won the applause of many people in the previous life, the box office was only average, and the global box office was barely 90 million US dollars, of course, compared to its production costs, it still made a lot of money.

Therefore, Li Mo made many modifications, first of all, Edward's hands, or two pairs of large scissor hands, but the rings on the back of the hands are gone, only the scissors in front, so that it will not cause visual disgust to the audience.

Secondly, Edward still has a dull and expressionless face and messy hair, but before the conflict intensified, the heroine also took care of him, that is, in the second half of the plot, the robot Edward suddenly became handsome.

The more handsome it is, the more heartbreaking it is.

Yili sponsored the costumes of the crew, in fact, Li Mo's films, Yili sponsored related costumes, the difference is, for example, there are not many costumes used by the beautiful women, Yili in addition to sponsoring the costumes, also gave some money, which is the cost of inserting advertisements. Like the thrilling 400 years that is being filmed, because of Li Mo's promotion, the scene has become bigger, and there are more costumes needed, so you can only sponsor costumes, and you won't pay for them anymore.

At the same time, the angel fund also launched several models to come over as extras, which will make the audience look more eye-catching.

The funds are sufficient, and the scene is a little bigger than the one in the previous life, and there are also a few small special effects as gimmicks.

In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence, a good movie should not only tell the story well, but also try to meet the audience's visual experience.

The reason why Edward Scissorhands in his previous life was not very good at the box office was that it couldn't keep up with its ideology, for example, its score on Time.com and Douban.com was 8.5\8.0, and the latter was 8.7\8.2, which was much higher than the score of human and ghostly love.

Or sensationalism, all tearful blockbusters are suspected of sensationalism and hypocrisy, and Edward Scissorhands is also sensational, but it is more subtle and restrained.

However, it can't satisfy the audience's vision, or make the audience's vision uncomfortable, and its box office influence is the same thing.

The same example is the abyss that has been pounced even worse in this life.

Many people regard it as a god film, but in his previous life, Li Mo watched several versions, but he couldn't stand it because of the black hole, and it was not ordinary black, it was dark for more than 140 minutes. I happened to meet people and ghosts, so there was a situation, many lovers ran out crying after watching it, and then went crazy to find a pottery workshop, made a love craft, and then ran to the cinema to watch it a second time. But the movie hall showing the abyss on the side is not cared for.

In short, Li Mo made these modifications, as well as more than 2 million more production costs, more than 1 million publicity costs, plus Li Mo's own appeal, and the impact of the Berlin Wall incident, Edward Scissorhands gave Stallone a second to the furious tiger and dragon.

Don't underestimate the Berlin Wall incident, the global box office of the future ghost love in the previous life was less than 520 million, of course, compared to its cost, it is a super high return. But under the impetus of the Berlin Wall incident, it has now reached 480 million, and the key is now 89 years, with its appeal, it will be screened for a long time, although it is impossible to break the box office record of Jurassic Park, but if it is not good, it can reach 600 million US dollars. Coupled with the fact that the film was a big hit again, Hollywood giants had to hold a meeting.

It's a good thing that the box office is a big hit, but how many other movies have these movies crushed? For example, Fox's Abyss lost miserably, and MGM's 007 also lost miserably.

There are only five this year, and next year, two "wolves" will definitely be released, even if the second Jurassic Park will be released the year after next, and The Lion King, don't underestimate cartoons, often animated blockbusters cost more than live-action blockbusters.

The Lion King was also released in the summer of the following year, but in addition to these two films, there are seven more films. Together with the two wolves, there are nine movies, and some of the main nine movies are almost filmed, some are being filmed, and some have already been established. Five movies have smashed many movies into ashes, and what happens if nine movies are released together?

Several film companies got together to discuss.

They finally came up with an agreement, and they dutifully named it the Limer Agreement. First, in order to avoid a tragic crash in the future, and second, it can't continue like this, will Hollywood become Li Mo's Hollywood alone in the future?

Therefore, several film companies signed an agreement to release no more than five Hollywood films in which Li Mo participated, no matter what form he participated in. In fact, there are five, and this year it has also crushed many movies from several major film companies, which side has made money here, and which side has lost money......

Set the quantity, then there will be no disorderly competition in the future.

Well, there will only be five next year, and two "wolves" will definitely be released in the next few years, and the thrilling 400 years starring Pete will also be released, Disney's little ghost is cute, but the little protagonist grows up year by year, and the fun is in the past few years, and it will be released next year. So who should the rest of the film be given to?

What's even worse is that these films have all started to be approved, and some are already starting to be filmed, who wants to take the initiative to move forward to the next year?

At the end of the quarrel, Warner's people and Columbia's people began to tear up, Warner said that Columbia is now a small Japanese company, and wants to be on an equal footing with us?

After several days of trouble, when the New Year came, several companies reached a final agreement to take out four places, and several film companies took turns to allocate these four places, and there was also a place, and to see who was in an emergency, this place would be allocated to whom.

Anyway, there must be no MGM share, their boss will sell it one moment, and then take it back, and they don't have the heart to run the movie, what qualifications do they have for this place. Anyway, there is no Colombia's share, although the colleagues are still former colleagues, everyone is American, they are all old acquaintances, but the boss is Japanese, little Japanese, and he still wants to compete with us fairly?

"Hao Like, these movies are box office hits, and they are everyone's credit, not my credit alone. But don't say it, I'm going to make two movies in a row right away. ”

"You're making a movie?" Pierce nearly let go of his teacup and fell to the ground.
