For a long time, the movies imported by China that can be released are from Hollywood, and they are currently divided into 30 films and 20 buyout films. And other films abroad. It can only appear on the Internet, it is completely impossible to be shown in movie theaters, and it is impossible for DVDs to appear.

For Chinese films, unless they are added by American studios (such as "Fast and Thrill"), films released through American distribution channels can be released outside of Europe. Other films were only released in a few small European countries, and they were all bought out at low prices.

Therefore, there is a fault line between the European film market and the Chinese film market.

At this time, the European Union sent a delegation over to discuss the opening of the film channel between the two sides, which obviously made Lin Mu very happy. Some time ago, Lin Mu was still thinking about waiting for the issuance right to be approved. Find a way to go to the United States and acquire a company with a European distribution channel to enter Europe. Now as soon as the EU mission comes, this step is simply omitted.

"God help me!!" Lin Mu made a powerful movement with his fist.

"The right to issue cannot be delayed any longer, so as not to cause extraneous complications." Thinking of this, Lin Mu hurriedly called General Manager Bi Han. Because if you want to establish a distribution channel in Europe, you must have the distribution qualification in China, which is a reasonable condition put forward by the EU mission.

Lin Mu made two phone calls to get through, and General Manager Bi Han was busy with the company's organizational structure upgrade at this time, and he was already busy. After Lin Mu explained it, he took the crew to shoot "Transformers" with peace of mind.

The plot of the whole Transformers is basically the same as the original, but Lin Mu added more Transformers to it, and at the same time enriched the fights. In order to shoot the International Financial Center Building in the magic capital, Lin Mu set the final battlefield in the magic capital, so the location of the fire must be placed near the magic capital.

When the script was originally set, Lin Mu set the location of the fire and the frozen Megatron in the sea near the magic capital. It just so happens that in reality, there is a small island in the sea near the magic capital, which is a small military base, a point of the coastal defense line of Huaxia, and a military forbidden area, which no one can approach.

Therefore, Lin Mu changed the location of the fire storage and the location of the frozen Megatron from the 'Hoover Dam' to this small island military base, although it is a bit ridiculous. But the movie itself is, so don't care about these details.

――――――――――

On March 25, the teams that went to the United States for "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" came back, still studying with the prince and did not win any trophies. And Lin Mu also knew from foreign media that the EU's movie trip to the Oscars was also to accompany the prince to study, and I don't know if it was because the establishment of the European Union made the United States uncomfortable.

On March 27, Lin Mu received an invitation from the Chinese Film Association to participate in the 2014 Huaxia Film Awards as a guest on April 2. But. Lin Mu was rushing to rehearse "Transformers", so naturally he didn't have much time to participate in the Academy Awards, so he refused.

"Mr. Wang, are you sure you won't go??" When Lin Mu replied by email that he would not go, the other party called, very sincerely.

"It's strange, I didn't go a few years ago, and they didn't have such good sincerity. What's going on this year? I even called to ask? Lin Mu wondered in his heart

In order not to give the other party the impression that he was proud of his talents, Lin Mu explained: "I'm sorry. Now I'm filming "Transformers", I can't leave at all, and now I have to hurry up with the schedule. ”

After hearing this, the other party was silent for a moment and said, "The people above want to see you." Then he hung up, as if to remind him secretly.

"The people above? What do you mean? Lin Mu was at a loss in his heart. Could it be those bigwigs, or leaders? ”

The so-called bigwigs are those seniors of the older generation, who have been growing up with Huaxia Film and Television since they were born, and they are all over the world. Most of all the filmmakers in the country have a relationship with them, and the relationship network is dense, which can be said to be the hands and eyes to the sky, and they have the ability to turn their hands into clouds and hands into rain in the Chinese film and television industry.

As soon as you stomp your feet, the film and television industry will shake three times.

And Lin Mu is only a director and a boss with good grades, but in terms of real connections, it is still far behind.

And these bigwigs, there are ten recognized in Huaxia, although they are retired, their disciples all have deep connections in Chinese film and politics, and their influence is top. However, they usually rarely show their faces, but sometimes they show their hands to make the people below remember them as legendary figures.

And when the Chinese United States negotiated with the United States, it involved film policy, and they also had their shadows.

An Pingshi, the president of Modu Film and Television University, is just an apprentice, and Ruan Jie, the vice chairman of the Huaxia Television Artists Association, who was awarded the Best Screenwriter Award by Lin Mu at the 2002 TV Drama Golden Eagle Award Ceremony, is just one of the big guys, not a high-ranking and low-ranking apprentice. It can be seen how deep the background of these bigwigs is.

"The big guy shouldn't be looking for me, but those leaders of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau will, but for what?" Lin Mu thought about it, and Lin Mu didn't need to present the award at all, "Is it because of the recent EU mission?" ”

But in any case, the forest has to be visited.

And at this moment, Lin Mu's phone rang.

"Boss, the matter of the approval of the issuance right, in the last approval, someone said something and was suppressed."

"Crushed??"

"Yes......"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu was silent, and Bi Han naturally wouldn't talk nonsense, that is to say, someone really did something, but who would it be? It doesn't seem to have offended anyone during this time, right?

This distribution right is related to the development of channels in the European film market, and cannot be sloppy.

Just as Lin Mu was thinking about this, he received another phone call, it was Tang Zongshi.

"Lin Mu, that 3D technology, can it be shared??"

“3d？？” Lin Mu directly refused, "Brother Tang, it's not that you don't know that this thing has signed an agreement with a foreign country, and if it is shared, it must be a breach of contract." ”

"Oh, okay." Tang Zongshi didn't say much, and hung up directly.

Lin Mu listened to the busy voice on the other side, and wondered in his heart: "It's strange, how do you feel that his purpose is not to ask me for 3D technology but to have other purposes?" ”

Anyway, it feels like someone is moving. And the two phone calls came inexplicably, Lin Mu was uneasy, and finally thought about it, it would be better to go to the Academy Awards.

Lin Mu felt that someone wanted to see him, and it was probably related to the uneasiness in his heart.

In 2008, Hope Film and Television produced a total of 15 films, 10 of which made money. 3 don't make money or lose, 2 lose money, and the films nominated for the Golden Eagle Award are in addition to "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", "Biochemical Apocalypse 2", "Search", there are other 2 movies "Oriental Eagle" and "Fierce General", these films involve most of the awards of the Academy Awards, and among them, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" and "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" have received the most nominations, from Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress. to Best Screenplay ......

Therefore, the team going to the Academy Awards is still quite large, with more than 30 people, including directors Tsui Hark, Chen Kaige, and Yan Gang, and the producers, actors, and heroines except for Liu Dehua, who is busy making movies, and the others also went. Including makeup artists, costume artists, etc., there are 55 people in total.

On April 1, Lin Mu returned to the company again and will go to the Academy Awards tomorrow. I stopped by and went back to the office today to deal with some things.

The company's organizational structure upgrade has been planned, and I heard that Lin Mu is back today. The company's management team and leaders of various departments prepared materials overnight, and held a meeting today to report to Lin Mu.

"According to our plan, the company will be divided into ten departments and three offices, and the agent company and special effects company will maintain the identity of the branch, and at the same time establish a film and television culture company. The integration of all scripts, film and television works, comics, and characters is conducive to the long-term development of the company. ”

The meeting lasted for a whole morning, and after Lin Mu went through it: "This plan is good, I won't give more blind commands, after the company reorganization is completed." You're all going to be promoted to the top of your position......"

Everyone in the room laughed.

Lin Mu looked around the seven management teams in the conference room, as well as the heads of various departments. Only two are authentic foreigners, one of whom is Peter Jackson, the general manager of Hope Special Effects. He ranked second in the management team, only below General Manager Bihan.

After the meeting. Lin Mu rushed out of the door, and Li Shuiyue followed Lin Mu closely.

"Is the car arranged? I made an appointment to have lunch with the deputy mayor, but don't be late. ”

Li Shuiyue was wearing high heels, clicked closely, and replied: "It's already arranged, I just communicated with the other party's secretary, and Deputy Mayor Huang is still having a meeting." So we'll definitely come first. ”

"Okay." Lin Mu nodded, "Also, today you help me book a plane ticket before 9 o'clock tonight to go to Yanjing to attend the Academy Awards ceremony." You come with me, too. ”

Li Shuiyue wrote it all down in her notebook, and while she should be, her heart was excited: "The Academy Awards, I have wanted to go for a long time, and this time I finally got the opportunity." ”

Wait for the woods to walk out of the hallway. A female star walked out of one of the offices on the edge of the corridor, watching Lin Mu leave, with a happy face, "The boss is also going to the Academy Awards?" That's great! Be sure to perform well this time! ”

Lin Mu has been in the company for less than 100 days a year, and even if he does, it is difficult to find an opportunity to express himself. Zhao Liyin is a small star who only signed a contract in Hope Film and Television Company last year. The biggest wish is to be taken by Lin Mu, and then make a movie, and then it will be popular.

Just now, I wanted not to pretend to be an accident, fell to the ground, stopped Lin Mu, and let myself stay in his sight for a few more minutes, but when I saw Lin Mu, I was so nervous that I flinched suddenly. However, when she heard that Lin Mu was also going to attend the Academy Awards, Zhao Liyin's original frustration because she missed the opportunity became better again.

"It just so happens that I'm going to the Academy Awards too, so I should go and prepare to make a good impression on my boss."

――――――

At noon, Lin Mu arrived at the place to eat 15 minutes early, and at this time, Deputy Mayor Huang had not yet arrived, and his secretary Liu Jing had arrived early.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, the boss is holding the Standing Committee now, and the big boss is there, so there is no way to come out in advance." The secretary was afraid that Lin Mu would misunderstand, so he explained while leading Lin Mu into his seat. The boss he said was naturally Deputy Mayor Huang, and the big boss was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

"It's okay, come on, Xiao Liu, before Boss Huang comes, let's talk." Lin Mu said politely to his secretary Liu Jing. Although with Lin Mu's current influence, he can already be on an equal footing with officials at the level of the deputy mayor of the Demon Capital, he has always been as humble and polite as possible.

Liu Jing was so excited that his face turned red, the old secretary of the deputy mayor was transferred to the district to be the director of the administrative office a few days ago, and he had just been selected from the small clerk of the administrative department and became the secretary of the deputy mayor, which can be described as a big stride, at this time, seeing that Mr. Wang, who had unparalleled influence in the magic capital, was so kind to himself, and suddenly felt flattered.

Lin Mu chatted with him about family life, and soon asked about the business: "Xiao Liu, have you heard about the street closure recently?" ”

"Street closure?" Liu Jing hesitated for a moment, looked outside the door, approached Lin Mu and whispered: "One of the topics of the Standing Committee that is now open is to close the street for filming, but before this topic arrived, I was sent out, so I don't know what it is." ”

Lin Mu's heart was settled, and he was even more kind to Liu Jing.

Soon Vice Mayor Huang arrived and told Lin Mu a good news, the matter of closing the street for filming has been approved by the municipal party committee, and the time is the same as Lin Mu's original mention: "15 days." ”

"Mr. Wang, don't you know the weight of you in our hearts, when I said your request, the ten Standing Committee members directly agreed to this request. And the big boss also said that such a great opportunity to give our mayor a face, and he definitely raised his hands in favor! Now we are all looking forward to the early release of "Transformers"! ”

There is really a set of officials, under the words of Vice Mayor Huang, even though Lin Mu has seen thousands of sycophants, he still can't help but flutter.

When things settled, it was natural that the guests and hosts were happy, and Lin Mu left with satisfaction.

In the afternoon of the same day, Bi Han called Lin Mu and said that he had received a consent letter for filming on the street. In the evening, Lin Mu took a plane to Yanjing, and the group of teams who participated in the award ceremony had already boarded the plane after noon and had now settled down in Yanjing.

The location of the Huaxia Film Awards ceremony will be different every year, and this year's venue is placed in Yanjing, and the specific location is the base of the Yanjing Film and Television Alliance. Originally, this was to concentrate resources on the development of the film industry and make it a small Hollywood in China, but as a result, Lin Mu came to a film and television alliance structure, and several film and television alliances appeared in Huaxia at once.
