By the beginning of November, the release cycle of "Huaxia Partner" was nearing the end, and its cumulative box office had reached 1.33 billion yuan at this time. It seemed that 1.4 billion yuan was hopeless, so the crew held another grand celebration party with a box office of 1.3 billion yuan in Beijing.

When the box office of the film exceeded 500 million and 1 billion, a celebration banquet was also held, but only 1.3 billion was present in person this time Li Mu himself was present.

In the lobby of the hotel, everyone was very excited. The box office of 1.3 billion is actually far from the top in Huashang Media, but in the entire Chinese film market, it is an explosive achievement.

Up to now, in the entire Chinese film market, among the films with a cumulative box office of more than 1 billion yuan, excluding the part of Huashang Media's works, there are only three films left - "Avatar", "Titanic", and "Transformers 3".

Among them, the box office of "Tank Nick" premiered in 98 was 359 million yuan, and this year the theater re-screened it once, and it actually received a box office of 1.03 billion yuan, and the box office of the re-screening is amazing.

In addition to these three imported films, all the other films with a box office of more than 1 billion yuan are all produced by Huashang.

That's why I said that a box office of more than 1 billion is nothing in Huashang, but for non-Huashang films and actors, a box office of more than 1 billion is an achievement that I dare not dream of.

"Congratulations to Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Li is domineering, I see that some people on the Internet are guessing when Mr. Li can miss once, I think let them wait to go, maybe, this is the eightieth birthday!"

"Hahaha!"

"Isn't Mr. Li's Maoyan movie and group also under the name of our company? I don't think we should simply send another 200 million tickets to make up for it, and push the box office directly to 1.5 billion! ”

"Who said that 200 million votes will be issued? Come, stand up and let me see, come! ”

"Mr. Li!"

"It turned out to be you, in this way, I will continue to pay you a salary, and you will find a way to infiltrate Meituan and strive to climb to the top."

"Huh? Why? ”

"You're going to bring down my henchmen!"

"Hahahaha......"

Since Li Mu has arrived in person, the link of giving out red envelopes is indispensable, "Huaxia Partner" is a box office hit, whether it is the starring, director, or cast and crew, everyone is very happy, but if there is a windfall, of course it will be better.

Of course, there are big and small red envelopes, such as Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Tong Dawei, Du Juan, the main and supporting actors, as well as director Chen Kezin, the amount of red envelopes is all very considerable, and such as the cast and crew, the behind-the-scenes personnel, the red envelopes are actually not small, but compared with the main creators, it is still worse.

Behind the scenes, no star earns much, the market is like this, and Huashang can only try to improve the treatment behind the scenes, but it will not be too much higher than the market after all.

At the celebration banquet, Huang Xiaoming came to Li Mu with a wine glass.

"Mr. Li, it's very enjoyable to make Huashang's movies."

"Shoot more when you're happy!"

"Mr. Li, this is what you said, when you meet a good role, you can't be reluctant."

"It's easy to say, but you should also play a domineering president first, right?"

“？”

"I mean, aren't you used to rewarding yourself with a domineering president for acting in a good movie?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Li is really joking."

"No kidding, I see, "Huaxia Partner" can probably let you get a few actors, listen to me, and reward yourself when the time comes."

"Take the actor? If I can really win the actor this time, then I'll be naked-"

"Don't, that thing is illegal, and if you don't break the law, it will affect the city's appearance, and when you really win the actor, I can't pick up your pants and throw them on the road, right?"

"Hahaha!"

"Don't laugh, just challenge the ice bucket, this can definitely be done, I'm not afraid you will regret it."

"Ice Bucket Challenge?"

"It's just pouring ice water all over the body."

"It's so ruthless—it's done!"

Deng Chao was more open on any occasion, but today he was a little silent, obviously because he had something in his heart, during which he found an opportunity to chat with Li Mu alone.

His contract with Huayi Brothers expired, and the renewal of the contract will not be renewed, of course, it does not mean that he wants to join Huashang, in fact, the idea of joining Huashang has indeed been there, but in the end, the idea of wanting to set up his own studio prevailed.

But he is not confident enough in his vision, and he is worried that he will lose a lot of money because he invests in the film because he can't get the market.

So the purpose of his coming over is very simple, that is, he wants to discuss with Li Mu how to choose the script so that he will not lose.

Whether a film is a loss or a boast, a hit or a tragedy, what factors determine it.

"I, Li Mu, am not very talented, and the reason why I have achieved a little bit is actually because of my intentions and diligence."

Li Mu is, but he can't help but talk nonsense, he can't say that I'm a traverser, those good works are all copied, right?

As a result, all the people who heard Li Mu's self-admitted talent were all "huh", as if they were coaxing the audience of Deyun Club.

"Director Li actually said that he is not very talented, is this crazy?"

"Huaxia Partner" can be successful, director Chen Kezhen has made great contributions, and Li Mu, as the producer of the film, naturally has to praise Director Chen at the celebration scene.

In terms of age, director Chen Kezhen is twenty-two years older than Li Mu; In terms of experience, Director Chen joined the film industry in the 80s, and Li Mu was still in kindergarten at that time. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Li Mu praised Director Chen Kezin for directing very well, which should make people feel a little weird.

But Li Mukua and Chen Kezin directed it very well, and no one felt weird.

Director Chen Kezin is indeed older, older, and more experienced, but compared with Li Mu, it is true that Li Mu is victorious.

Director Chen Kezin is very good, but the gap is still very obvious with Li Mu, who is temporarily third in the world and second in the world soon.

……

At the same time, the box office of "Huaxia Partner" broke 1.3 billion, which still had a great impact on the circle.

"The box office has exceeded a billion again?"

"People have to die more than people, and pieces have to be thrown away than films!"

"Hehe, 1.3 billion box office, I don't know how many tickets are included in it!"

"It's awesome!"

"Do you know what's the scariest thing? The most terrifying thing is that the director of "Chinese Partner" is not Li Mu! If the film directed by him himself finally won 1.3 billion at the box office, then everyone would not say anything. Even if director Shen Junsheng came to direct the final box office hit, everyone still didn't say anything, but it was directed by director Chen Kezin, as well as the previous director Xue Xiaolu, director Teng Huatao, and director Guo Fan, these are all rookie directors, but Hua Shang used one, the box office exploded, and the director became famous, which is very scary. ”

"You said that if we people also go to Huashang Media to find a job, will we be able to shoot 1 billion works in two years?"

……

At this time, "1942" directed by Feng Xiaogang has also entered the stage of large-scale publicity, and watching the news of the box office explosion of "Huaxia Partner", Director Feng's heart is also boiling.

His last movie "Tangshan Earthquake" was a box office hit, taking nearly 800 million at the box office, and this time he filmed "1942" more seriously, put more effort into it, and the production cost exceeded 200 million.

"Tangshan Earthquake" and "1942" have many similarities, both tell a story of suffering that can earn people's tears, there is no reason why the former is a box office hit, the latter has a higher investment and a better script, but the box office is worse, right?

""Tangshan Earthquake" took nearly 800 million, so "1942" will cost at least 100 million!"

The above is Director Feng's previous thoughts, and now, Director Feng's thoughts have changed again.

"Chen Kezin's movies can get 1.3 billion box office, I Feng Xiaogang has no reason to be inferior to him, right? I see, "1942" is completely worth 1.5 billion box office! ”

……

Recently, Huashang has another important thing, that is, "To Youth" has finally been completed.

"To Youth" gathers Tong Liya, Yang Mi, Bai Bing, Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi and other popular flowers in Huayu, of which the first four are Huashang's signed artists.

As a group of small flowers of similar age and serious overlap in resources, the competition between this group of people is still quite large, and if you want to occupy a favorable position in the competition, the most important thing is, of course, to squeeze out the best quality resources from Mr. Li's hands as much as possible!

Now that everyone has a schedule, Huashang should have so many good resources to share with everyone, right?

So what to do?

It's definitely on a first-come, first-served basis!

So Yingying Yanyan all desperately went to Li Mu's office.

The first to block the door was Yang Mi.

"Something?"

"Something!"

"Say!"

"I want to make more money for the company."

“？”

"So Mr. Li, if you have a script with high box office potential in your hand, such as a box office project that is expected to be more than ten or two billion, you can rest assured that you will leave it to me, and I will help you get the money back!"

As he spoke, he made a fist grasping motion.

Li Mu: "? ”

Yang Mi: "Mr. Li, you see, you signed me into the company is definitely the most cost-effective deal, where can I find a good employee like me who is desperately trying to make money for the boss!" ”

Li Mu: "What are you...... Looking for a good script? Well, the method is novel enough. ”

Yang Mi: "Really? So did I succeed? ”

Li Mu: "Semi-successful, it just so happened that Mr. Liu told me that Guo Jingming had just found the company, saying that he wanted to ask you to play a role." ”

Yang Mi: "Guo Jingming? ”

Li Mu: "Yes, the title of the film is "Little Times". ”

Yang Mi: "Mr. Li, do you think this movie can be popular?" ”

Li Mu: "Fire should be popular, but word of mouth may be very average!" ”

Yang Mi: "Okay, I'll take it!" ”

After agreeing, Yang Mixin said: "Li Mu said that if the box office can explode, then it will definitely explode, as for the word-of-mouth may be average, in the eyes of Mr. Li, the score of less than 8 points is very average!" ”

The next few beauties have met with Li Mu one after another, among which Tong Liya's next drama is "Obstetrician", Zhao Liying and Li Mu are ready to start the "Flower Thousand Bone" project, as for Bai Bing, Li Mu plans to give her the "The Legend of Chu Qiao" project.

The original time and space "The Legend of Chu Qiao" was originally Zhao Liying's resources, but Bai Bing had a brain attack in love in the original time and space, and went to get married and have a daughter when his career was at its peak, so naturally he didn't get too many resources.

At this time, the blank soldier did not have a love brain attack, but had time and energy, if she only gave her the resources of the original time and space, it would definitely not be enough, so Li Mu could only deploy it.

Among the five beauties in "To Youth", Liu Shishi's identity is the most embarrassing.

The other four are all from Huashang Media, but she is the only one who signed with Sugar Man Film and Television, and some time ago she was in trouble due to contract issues.

Fans hope that she can also sign Huashang after the expiration of her contract with Sugar Man, after all, Huashang's resources are definitely the top in China.

If you really want to sign a contract with Huashang, you don't have to worry about good resources in the future.

It's true.

You see that "To Youth" has just been completed, and I heard that Li Mu and Li have arranged new projects for all the four beauties under their own family in one go.

Even three of them are projects personally invested by Huashang Media, and Huashang's projects are really like endless, saying that a few will be thrown out.

It stands to reason that so many actresses of the same type gather in one company, and there must be fierce competition among each other, but Huashang Media seems to use massive resources to smash everyone and there is no need to fight at all.

Let's talk about Li Mu.

After arranging his own golden flowers, he devoted all his energy to the preparation for the release of "Frozen".

The premiere schedule of "Frozen" is about 61%, which is not very high, and in the past, Li Mu's film schedule was often more than 80%, which shows that theater managers still have doubts about this movie.

Li Mu has proven that he can make world-class sci-fi action blockbusters, but he hasn't had time to prove that he can make a good animated movie.

However, even 61% of the scheduled films are far better than the original time and space.

In fact, only about 10% of the film schedule of "Frozen" in the original time and space is only.

"What do you think of both versions?"

In the conference room, Li Mu discussed the details of the release of "Frozen" with Liu Siying, Chen Zhixi, Tian Xiaopeng, Yang Yu and others, and one of the questions was whether to ask the theater to ensure a certain proportion of the English version of the screening.

It stands to reason that only imported films will have the choice of language version, and "Frozen", as a domestic film directed by a domestic director, really has no need to be screened in China and also provided with an English version.

But Li Mu always felt that the overall effect of the English version was better.

This is the sequelae of plagiarism.

"Frozen" was originally an English animated movie, and Li Mu has diluted the original background as much as possible in the plagiarism process, but the film is always better than the English version.

"I also think the English version is a bit better overall."

"Agreed!"

"If you want to put the English version, if nothing else, just the part where the Ice Queen Elsa builds the castle, the English version is simply superb, and the Chinese version is a little less charming."

"Then this matter is decided, communicate with the theater, or provide a certain percentage of the English version."

……

November 16th.

A university.

Zhou Sing secretly bought movie tickets for "Frozen" alone, and then unfortunately was discovered by his roommates, so this Zhou Sing was ruthlessly ridiculed by his roommates.

"Yo, Zhou Sing, you still watch animated movies!"

"Frozen, the name sounds like the type of Western prince and princess, Snow White's crystal slipper, the story of the seven dwarfs, how boring!"

"Even if you have to watch animated movies, you should also watch "One Piece", "Naruto", "Doraemon" and so on! "Frozen" is the kind of movie that makes money for little girls, what do you say you are a big man buying it for! ”

"Is there a movie version of these films?"

"There should be, right?"

This classmate named Zhou Sing has no love on his face.

He knew it, and he knew that his roommates would tease him when they found out.

But if you're ridiculed, you're going to watch it.,Who made him obsessed with animation? Now someone in Huaxia has spent 1 billion to make an animated movie, and he should buy a ticket to support it just because of this!
