Chapter 127: It's already a giant
Li Mu pressed Liu Yifei against the door, and he could feel the other party's heartbeat and breathing at a close distance, Liu Yifei's chest rose and fell violently and looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu suddenly kissed him.
Five minutes later, Li Mu picked him up in Liu Yifei's exclamation of "ah", Liu Yifei hooked Li Mu's neck with both hands, and Li Mu walked to the big bed in the room step by step.
"Do you say that in the future, the reporter will say that I took the initiative to seduce you for the sake of the top?"
"No, all the media will bless us."
"Do you believe this?" The young lady stared at Li Mu's eyes after being placed on the bed.
Li Mu pressed up and said, "Letter, good, stop talking."
Liu Yifei suddenly giggled: "You said that if the two of us were together the first time we met, what would the reporter say about the two of us? At that time, I was still more famous than you, and I had already acted in several dramas at that time, and you were still just a screenwriter who didn't have a release."
"I don't know what to say about you, but I know I'm going to be scolded to death, and you'll be 17 years old."
"I think it's better to forget it tonight, it won't be good if someone sees it."
"Huh? No, you shouldn't be the kind of "I don't care what they think!" 's character?"
"Actually, I've been a lot stronger over the years, but I'm not always that strong - wait a minute."
"Well, you say, I'll listen."
"I remember when I first came to the United States to study, there were a few Korean girls who were always in trouble with me, and I was in class there, and I sat down well, and all of a sudden, the girl came over and pulled my hair, and then drew something on me with that pen, and we were basically more civilized over there, and we didn't do anything - wait a minute."
"Well, depending on how my husband will be angry with you in the future, I have to dig up the wall of the Korean cultural world."
"Actually, it's all over - I say, be honest!"
"Uh-huh."
"Hey, I said, I'm going to shoot that scene where you tricked me into kissing me in a few days, I remember when the hurricane premiered, you said you were going to write a script that asked me to take the initiative to kiss you, you said, was it at that time - oops, you said you were honest!"
"yes, I originally wanted to write a movie where the male and female protagonists kiss for more than half an hour.
"You're so bad, don't write!"
"Oops, it's still a lot of pain for you to hammer people, listen to you, if you don't write, you won't write."
"Huh? Really don't write it? Actually......"
"Of course! I'm going to get my driver's license test, and I'm going to review some of the subjects - obedient, let's stop talking, okay?"
"Driver's license? Subject 1?"
Li Mu explained, but was hammered again.
"By the way, you are such a big director, have you ever met an actress who takes the initiative to send it away - you stop!"
"Shhhh Don't talk, it's almost dawn!"
"Wait a minute."
At the same time, Tom Hanks was calling his circle of friends in Hollywood one by one.
He was very disgusted with Harvey Weinstein's personality, but at the same time he greatly admired his vision.
Harvey Weinstein actually assured Li Mu that both movies could win the Oscar, which Hanks didn't expect at all.
Tom Hanks already valued "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Revenant" very much, and now that he knows that Harvey Weinstein, who has always been known for his vicious vision, also admires these two scripts, how can Tom Hanks not pay more attention to these two scripts?
He has won the Oscar twice, becoming one of the actors who have won the most Oscars, but throughout the 80-year history of the Academy Awards, there are nearly ten actors who have won the Oscars twice!
But if he can win the best actor again this time with "Manchester by the Sea" or "The Revenant", then he will become the first actor in history to win the Oscar three times.
The first actor in history to win the Oscar three times!
This is a huge achievement, but only if the operation of the film is never handed over to Harvey Weinstein!
In 1998, Weinstein spent $5 million on public relations for "Shakespeare in Love", bribed a large number of members of the academy to lobby for him, and even went so far as to violate Oscar rules by holding a private party to invite a number of judges, who he quibbled in the face of accusations that the judges only "happened to be there". In the end, "Shakespeare in Love" beat "Saving Private Ryan" to win the award.
Gwyneth Paltrow (Little Pepper) successfully topped the Oscar with this film, but from now on, she will always have the title of "the most water actress" on her head, and from time to time she will be regarded as the most famous "black history" of the Oscars.
Hanks has won the best actor twice, and although the temptation to win the Oscar three times is great, if the price is to become the most famous "black history" in Oscar history like Gwyneth Paltrow, and even be ridiculed for a whole decade and continue to be ridiculed in his lifetime, then Tom Hanks would rather not have this third Oscar statuette!
So he had to stop Li Mu's cooperation with Harvey Weinstein, but he had to admit that Harvey Weinstein did have the strength to make two movies win awards, so Hanks had no reason to ask Li Mu to give up working with Harvey Weinstein - let people give up the opportunity to win the Oscar for no reason, why?
Unless Hanks can offer a greater possibility!
So this time he didn't have any reservations, and all the connections in the circle accumulated over decades were mobilized by him.
Disney, Sony, Paramount, Warner......
However, what Tom Hanks couldn't have imagined was that after hearing the news, the senior executives of these four top Hollywood companies actually said that they would send the company's vice president-level figures to France to meet Li Mu.
The top four companies in Hollywood all said that they would send vice president-level figures to France to negotiate with Li Mu? Such outrageous news even made Hanks, who started this network war, a little confused.
As far as he knows, Li Mu's Huashang Media is not very famous in China, and these four Hollywood companies are all well-known companies in the world.
Why?
Why did these four companies take the initiative to send vice presidents to France to meet Li Mu?
After asking a few friends, Tom Hanks finally figured out what was going on.
And not just because "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Revenant" have the potential to win awards.
Investing in movies has always been a very risky thing - MGM, Luen Mei Pictures, New Line Pictures, Carlock Pictures, the four film companies were directly sent away by four blockbusters, plus Fox who was almost sent away by "Cleopatra", it can be said that every blockbuster is a life and death test for the film company.
Why does the Marvel Universe shine in the future? Why are there more and more manga movies?
Isn't it because these projects with a regular fan base can greatly reduce the risk of investment?
So now let's take a look at what Li Mu is holding in his hand:.
The Hunger Games has sold over 25 million copies worldwide! The fan base is huge, and if the box office is good after the adaptation, it can be easily made into a series of movies.
"Divergents", which sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide!
"Moving Maze", which sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide!
"The Martian", "Gravity", "Inception", "Interstellar", "Doomsday", "The Moon" - the sales of this series are all around 2 million to 5 million copies.
In addition, "Pacific Rim", which has just been listed, in the words of Hanks's friends, this is the work with the greatest potential among all Li Mu's works, but Li Mu chose the publishing version in the wrong direction.
If "Pacific Rim" is a comic version, if it can be serialized and maintain the quality of the first part, the value of this IP will be incalculable.
Plus a series of films that have been hugely successful - "Hurricane Rescue", "Assassin", "Superbody".
Three movies in three years, all of them were great successes without any misses, and the total global box office exceeded $1 billion.
It can be said that the number of high-quality big IPs in Li Mu's hands is not inferior to the so-called
's six major Hollywood film companies, what is even more rare is that compared with the identity of the company's CEO, Li Mu's labels as directors and writers are undoubtedly more obvious, that is to say, everyone has the opportunity to buy these big IPs in Li Mu's hands, at least have the opportunity to participate in investment!
What's even more terrifying is that these series of IPs with huge potential and a total value of tens of billions of dollars were all created by Li Mu from scratch in just four years.
Now Li Mu is still very young, both energy and thinking are at the peak, and in another three and five years, who knows how many high-quality IP projects this Li Mu will create?
You see that people write two random scripts with literary points and are targeted by Harvey Weinstein, saying that it is very likely to win the Oscar for Best Picture.
You just say it's strong or not, right?!
There are indeed very few people who have heard of Li Mu's company called Huashang Media, but Li Mu is indeed an entertainment giant.
A world-class entertainment giant!
Today's Li Mu wants to make it almost impossible for Hollywood giants not to target him.
To be honest, these companies have long wanted to have a good chat with Li Mu.
