"Do you think we should persuade Li Mu? If his "How to Steal the Key" is withdrawn to next summer, the box office performance will definitely be much better than this year's, the last movie "Assassin" cooperated by Cheng Long and Li Lian slashed 350 million at the domestic box office, and this year's "King of Kung Fu" even if it only takes ninety percent of the box office of "Assassin" that year, it will be 310 million."

"Zhou Xingzhi's last "Kung Fu" took 173 million at the box office nationwide, even if this year's "Yangtze River No. 7" also only won 170 million, the two movies add up to 480 million. The national movie market is so big, let's and Zhou Xingzhi directly win such a big piece of cake, how much more can he leave in Li Mu's "How to Steal the Key"?"

In a private room of a hotel in Beijing, several core members of Huayi Brothers were pushing glasses and changing glasses, and at the banquet, Wang Zhonglei, president of Huayi Brothers, said eloquently: "If I were Li Mu or Zhou Xingzhi, I would choose to withdraw."

"Director Li Mu's "Assassin" has proven the box office appeal of Cheng Long + Li Lian Double J duel horror, and the most criticized thing about "Assassin" is that there are too few Chinese elements in the movie, and it doesn't look like a Chinese movie, maybe it is more appropriate to call it a Hollywood movie shot by Chinese people."

"Now that "The King of Kung Fu" has made up for this shortcoming of "Assassin", the Chinese elements in the movie have greatly increased, and I think the box office performance will probably be stronger than "Assassin". This year's Lunar New Year file is still sung by our Huayi Brothers, "Assembly Number" in December, "The King of Kung Fu" in January, this year is destined to be the strongest Chinese New Year file, if other people's movies want to have a good result, avoiding these two movies is almost the only choice."

Wang Zhongjun added: "The box office of "The King of Kung Fu" should not be a big problem for "Assassin", but if you don't consider the content of the movie, the total number of domestic screens alone has made great progress in the past two years, the market is bigger, and there is no reason for the box office performance to be worse."

"Li Mu's sci-fi blockbuster has a strong international influence, and our Huayi Brothers will seek to go public next year, so it is particularly important to have a good relationship with Li Mu at this time. If you can invest in Li Mu's sci-fi blockbuster, Huayi will be able to win more favor in the capital market, at this time, don't spoil the relationship between the two parties because it affects the box office of "The Method of Stealing the Key", I think I still have to persuade Li Mu, but the words must be said tactfully, Li Mu became famous at a young age, and he must be very arrogant in his heart."

"It's to persuade you, but don't let us say it, Lotus-" Wang Zhonglei looked at Li Lianhua next to him and continued, "You have a good relationship with Li Mu, I think you still have to persuade Li Mu in private." The market recognizes him as a sci-fi blockbuster, and "The Way to Steal the Key" is a low-budget comedy, even if this movie can once again create a small-budget counterattack miracle of "Hypnosis Master" back then, it is only a box office volume of 50 or 60 million, and it will sell 80 million. After all, with a small cost, there is really no need to rush to the stalls of "The King of Kung Fu" and "Yangtze River No. 7".

Li Lianhua nodded, although she is a signed artist of Huayi Brothers, but from the bottom of her heart, she would rather Li Mu's movie beat Huayi Brothers in terms of box office, but she also knows that this is impossible at least this year, the popularity of "The King of Kung Fu" is too high, in comparison, Li Mu's "How to Steal the Key" may be really difficult to achieve a good result under the attack of two blockbusters. Therefore, for Li Mu this year, withdrawing is indeed a good choice. ….

At this time, Wang Zhonglei smiled again: "If Li Mu announces the withdrawal, then the film that originally belonged to "The Method of Stealing the Key" will be added to "The King of Kung Fu" or "Yangtze River No. 7", which is a win-win deal."

Wang Zhongjun said with a smile: "If Zhou Xingzhi's "Yangtze River No. 7" also announces the withdrawal, three wins will still be three wins, but the biggest win will definitely be our Huayi!"

"Hahaha......

The two brothers laughed together.

At this time, Wang Zhonglei's mobile phone rang.

"It's Li Mu."

Wang Zhonglei then pressed the answer button.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

"Huh?"

"Spring Festival stalls?"

"Okay, let's talk in detail sometime."

……

"What did Li Mu say?"

Seeing that Wang Zhonglei had hung up the phone, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but ask at this time.

Wang Zhonglei looked at everyone with a surprised face:

"Li Mu said that he wanted to work with our Huayi brothers, as well as Cheng Long, Li Lianlian, Zhou Jielun, and Zhou Xingzhi to build momentum for the 'Spring Festival file', he said that he had already contacted Zhou Xingzhi, Zhou Jielun, Cheng Long and Li Lianlian, and everyone had jointly decided to unanimously hold high the banner of 'Spring Festival file' when promoting the movie, everyone will make this new schedule bigger and stronger, and everyone will work together to make the cake bigger, only when the cake is made big enough, can more filmmakers make money."

After listening to Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun was also stunned for a moment.

The two of them kept saying that it was for Li Mu's good to persuade Li Mu to withdraw the file, but who didn't know that if Li Mu really announced the withdrawal, then Huayi Brothers' own movie "The King of Kung Fu" would be able to eat more films?

Business competition has always been very cruel, and the two of them are benevolent enough to do their best not to make small moves that Li Mu can make a world-class sci-fi blockbuster, but what about Li Mu?

The foothold of others is not to find a way to let you take a little less box office and let me get a little more box office myself, they just want to unite everyone and create a stronger schedule together!

Compared with Li Mu, the conceited Wang brothers were a little ashamed of themselves for a moment, of course, it was just a short moment.

Because the two of them were really shocked by Li Mu's chest, although it was only for a moment.

I saw Wang Zhongjun suddenly smile and say:

"Promise him to create a stronger schedule for the Spring Festival, it may not be realistic to come out, but it is indeed a very good idea for everyone to cheer for the release of our "King of Kung Fu" schedule."

"Movies have always had a bit of a winner-take-all industry, so that more people can enter the theater in a certain period of time, that is, let more people go to a certain movie in a certain period of time, from the current market popularity, this movie is neither Zhou Xingzhi's "Yangtze River No. 7", nor Li Mu's "The Way to Steal the Key", but Huayi Cheng Long Lilian's "The King of Kung Fu".

Li Lianhua and Li Xuehua sisters have more appreciation for Li Mu, the two sisters, who are over 30 years old, already know the rules of this society well, and the Huayi brothers have cooperated for many years to see too many competitive means that cannot be put on the table, and everyone has slowly accepted the concept that business competition should be bloody. ….

But now the two suddenly found that it seemed that Li Mu had never taken those dirty methods against competitors, as if Li Mu had always competed with dignity, as if Li Mu had never regarded others as life-and-death opponents.

He seems to be just trying to make his own movies well, trying to improve the domestic film market environment, and then his movies have unknowingly become the world's top grossing movies.

It feels like - the Huayi brothers, who used to think they were very powerful, are not at all a grade in front of Li Mu, and Li Mu's gaze is undoubtedly going further.

……

"I'll tell you, this time I went to your house, if your mother is not satisfied with me again, I will show him this, the top director Li Mu, who is worth more than a billion yuan, is so optimistic about me, why is your mother not optimistic about me?"

In a rental house in the capital, Shen Teng said to his girlfriend Wang Qi.

At this moment, Shen Teng's girlfriend is playing a paragraph from Shen Teng's mobile phone, and the director Li Mu is patting Shen Teng on the shoulder and speaking:

"Shen Teng, we have also collaborated on two films, and I found through these two movies that you still have some comedy in you, if you can bring these things into play, then you may not be able to become a generation of comedy kings in the future......

Shen Teng's girlfriend was stunned, she didn't expect that an international director like Li Mu would have such a high evaluation of Shen Teng, but looking at Shen Teng's raised eyebrows, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart, so she pouted and said:

"Fake, right? Can Li Mu really value you so much?"

"Huh? Why can't it? Is this still fake? He doesn't think I'll be able to ask me to make a movie?" Shen Teng was a little weak-hearted, after all, this passage was indeed his begging for Li Mu

praised what he begged for, although he didn't expect Li Mu to praise it so much, and he would praise it so ruthlessly, but it was right that he asked for it.

Shen Teng's girlfriend Wang Qi continued: "If Director Li Mu is really so optimistic about you, then why didn't he poach you into his company? Didn't Director Li Mu open a company called Huashang? Even Liu Yifei has signed a contract with Huashang."

"Huh?"

Shen Teng was stunned.

"Because...... Because I signed a contract with Happy Twist!"

Wang Qi said: "Good birds choose trees to perch, can't they still breach the contract if they sign a contract? If he really thinks so highly of you, he will pay the liquidated damages for you a long time ago!"

Shen Teng was speechless.

What his girlfriend said is right, Li Mu is optimistic that everything about him is fake, but the funny thing is that he has almost taken it seriously after watching this paragraph repeatedly in the past two days.
