"The Hunger Games 2" exploded at the North American box office, Liu Yifei was in a very good mood, on the one hand, everyone hopes that their hard work can be recognized by the outside, on the other hand, the box office explosion also means that Huashang has made a lot of money this time, and Huashang makes money is Li Mu making money, and Li Mu is happy when he makes money.

Most of her achievements today are due to Li Mu's credit, otherwise from "Inception" to "Doomsday Collapse", and now the "Hunger Games" series, why does Li Mu use her every time?

Isn't it because I'm his girlfriend? She knows all of this, and it is precisely because she knows it in her heart that she feels that she can't only help herself, but she should also be able to help him.

She really can't help with other things, what she can do is to make money from the films she starred in as much as possible, so that he can have his own share of the money he earns.

Now that "The Hunger Games 2" has a box office of $193 million in the first week in North America, there is no doubt that the film has exploded at the box office, and he has successfully helped him make money, so Liu Yifei is naturally in a very good mood.

"How are you going to reward me?"

At the home of Ziyu Villa, Liu Yifei reached out and hugged Li Mu's waist from behind and said coquettishly.

Li Mu turned around and kissed her lightly on the lips, and then asked her, "Is it enough?" ”

"Not enough!" Liu Yifei pursed his lips and said.

Li Mu kissed him again without saying a word, and then continued to ask: "What about this time, is it enough?" ”

Liu Yifei still said the same sentence: "Not enough!" ”

……

Li Mu is very satisfied with the box office of "The Hunger Games 2" in the first week, and the $193 million result is not as good as the film "Avengers 1", but it is not without regrets, not that he thinks the box office of the film should be better, but that he really can't find a way to surpass the Marvel Universe.

Take "Avengers 4" as an example, the pinnacle of this Marvel movie, its first-week box office in North America is $350 million, and the global first-week box office is even as high as $1.2 billion.

As a time-traveler, Li Mu must have the ambition to be the number one in the world, but the reality is that even if he is a time-traveler, even if he has a complete library of future films in his mind, he still can't make a movie like the "Avengers" series.

Maybe it's okay to be the first at the overall box office, but it's almost impossible to make a series of movies like the Marvel Cinematic Universe that takes the whole world.

This also made Li Mu entangled for a while, but now that he has seen it, just continue to make a good movie seriously, and let the rest take its course.

Three days after its premiere, "The Hunger Games 2" grossed $53.6 million domestically, $193 million in North America, and $187 million in the rest of the overseas market, for a total of $433.6 million worldwide in three days.

In the three days of the second week, "The Hunger Games 2" earned a total of $88.4 million at the box office in the North American market, winning the box office of this weekend, and in terms of data, the box office this week decreased by about 52.9% compared to the first week, which is normal for fan-oriented movies, but it is certainly not as good as "Iron Man 3".

Although "Iron Man 3" was not as good as "The Hunger Games 2" at the box office in the first week, its final box office will definitely surpass "The Hunger Games 2".

Then on the weekend of the third week, "The Hunger Games 2" grossed $37.96 million in North America, winning the North American championship for the third consecutive week, and this week's box office decreased by about 52% compared to the previous month's data.

So far, the film has been released for a total of three weeks, and its North American box office has reached 385 million US dollars, the rest of the overseas market has accumulated 377 million US dollars, and the mainland market has 1.235 billion yuan, which is about 181 million US dollars when converted, and the total global box office of the film has reached 943 million US dollars.

At this time, "Send You a Little Red Flower" and "The Fault in the Stars" have been released one after another, with the former having a final box office of 1.61 billion yuan in the mainland and the latter with a cumulative global box office of 359 million US dollars.

Only these three films, and before "The Hunger Games 2" was fully released, their cumulative box office has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars, and the global film market has once again seen the crazy ability of Li Mu's films to attract money.

At the same time as the global hit of "The Hunger Games 2", the preparatory work for Li Mu's next film "Interstellar" has also entered the final stage, for which one of the heroines of the film, Anne Hathaway, also made a special trip to China from the flight.

It will take a while for the official start of filming, but the pre-start preparation work is not unrelated to the actors, such as script reading, and even Hollywood stars need to participate in the pre-start preparations.

After the photo of Anne Hathaway appearing at the Beijing Airport was leaked, it also caused a lot of discussion on the Chinese Internet, and the photo of her appearance at the door of Huashang Building caused a lot of speculation among Chinese netizens.

Some netizens know that Li Mu's next film will be adapted from his well-known sci-fi "Interstellar", so everyone speculates that Anne Hathaway is the heroine of "Interstellar".

For this reason, it also caused dissatisfaction among some Liu Yifei fans, everyone knows that "Interstellar" will be a very important film directed by Li Mu, how can such an important film be done without Liu Yifei as the heroine?

Huashang Company did not immediately respond to the speculation of netizens, Li Mu also took a lot of makeup photos with Anne Hathaway in the next few days, the purpose is of course to see if the two have a sense of CP when they stand together, after all, in the film, the character played by Li Mu and Anne Hathaway are a couple, and the role that Liu Yifei wants to play is the daughter of Li Mu's character.

By the way, Anne Hathaway's salary for playing the heroine Emilia Brand is $8 million, while Li Mu's salary for Liu Yifei this time is $12 million.

That's right, Liu Yifei's current salary is more than Anne Hathaway's, of course, because Li Mu takes care of his girlfriend, but even without Li Mu's relationship, Liu Yifei's normal salary in Hollywood is still more than Anne Hathaway.

Hollywood is the most realistic place in the world, in the words of Li Lianlian, when your data is good, the chairman of the six Hollywood companies can kneel down and beg you to film, and once your data is not good, people will immediately not know you, it is so realistic.

And now Liu Yifei's data is very good, not ordinary, especially the "Hunger Games" series almost relied on her to bear the box office, and as a result, the two "Hunger Games" all exploded at the box office.

In the face of such a solid record, it is normal for Liu Yifei's salary to rise.

In addition, a considerable part of the $150 million investment in Interstellar will be shared by other companies that have long-term cooperation with Huashang.

The girlfriend is your own, but the cost of the salary has to be paid by everyone, so what does it matter if the salary is higher?

At the same time, the "Detective Chinatown" project directed by Chen Sicheng has finally officially begun casting.

The actor remains the same, but Wang Baoqiang plays it.

When Chen Sicheng called to invite Wang Baoqiang, Wang Baoqiang was still a little hesitant, but when Cheng Sicheng said that it was a script written by Director Li Mu himself, Wang Baoqiang agreed without saying a word, and provoked Chen Sicheng to scold Baoqiang for not being interesting enough, when he heard that he invited him, he had to read the script first, but when he heard that the script was written by Li Mu, he immediately agreed.

In the end, the actor Wang Baoqiang was decided, with a salary of 7 million.

Whether "Detective Chinatown" can succeed or not, the role of Qin Feng is also very important, because Li Mu has a preconceived idea of Qin Feng played by Liu Haoran in his previous life, so Li Mu is not ready to change this time, when he was discussing the candidate with Chen Sicheng, Li Mu directly mentioned Liu Haoran, who had played a role in "Beijing City Love Story", and then the feeling of living in the shadow of Mr. Li surfaced in Chen Sicheng's heart again.

Liu Haoran was originally an actor unearthed by Chen Sicheng, and he knew how many pounds and taels this actor had, so some time ago, when he read the script of "Detective Chinatown" for the first time, the suitable candidate for the first Qin Feng that came to his mind was this Liu Haoran, he felt that Liu Haoran would definitely be able to do it, but it was estimated that he would have to spend a lot of time this time.

After all, Liu Haoran is not well-known for the time being, Huashang Media is such a big project, and Qin Feng's role is so important, but the protagonist uses a newcomer Xiao Transparent?

Unexpectedly, when discussing the candidate with Director Li Mu, Director Li's first choice turned out to be this Liu Haoran, and Liu Haoran is not a star, so can this be thought of? Let's just say what level of tacit understanding this is!

Li Mu and Chen Sicheng were satisfied, and Liu Haoran's role as Qin Feng was decided.

For Liu Haoran, being able to star in Huashang Media's movie is still a script written by Director Li Mu himself, which must be pie in the sky, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is soaring, so in order to show that he cherishes this opportunity very much, he directly proposed to Chen Sicheng to appear with zero pay.

Then Chen Sicheng made the decision and set a salary of 10,000 yuan for him.

This salary will be performed for several months, which seems to be a loss, but in the long run, it will definitely make a lot of money.

As for the candidate for the heroine Ah Xiang, Chen Sicheng still wanted to use his girlfriend Cao Xiwen, so he did not hesitate to discuss with Li Mu several times, but Li Mu gave a clean veto, firstly, Tong Liya's version of Ah Xiang in the previous life was already preconceived, and secondly, Tong Liya was still an artist under his own family in this life, how could Li Mu agree to change people?

However, Chen Sicheng is a director after all, and he can't let Li Mu, the boss, make up his mind for all roles, so Li Mu said, the heroine Ah Xiang still uses Tong Liya, and as for other people's role candidates, it's up to you Chen Sicheng to make his own decisions.

As for the company's new movie "Detective Chinatown", Mr. Li wanted to use Tong Liya, and director Chen Sicheng wanted to use Cao Xiwen, which finally spread within the company, and then Tong Liya quickly found Li Mu.

The purpose is, of course, to express her gratitude to Li Mu for supporting her, and at the same time, there is a little dissatisfaction with Chen Sicheng.

In the rumors, Director Li Mu has promised to let Tong Liya play the heroine, but Chen Sicheng still wants to replace her with his own girlfriend again and again, so how can Tong Liya not have any other ideas?

Because she used to think that she and Chen Sicheng were friends in the circle, the two collaborated on the TV series version and movie version of "Beijing City Love Story" together, but he still didn't want to use himself at the critical moment.

"You don't have a good relationship with Chen Sicheng?" Li Mu asked a little curiously.

Tong Liya said: "No, we are very good friends." ”

"And he's still there?"

"No matter how good it is, can it be better than the person next to the pillow?"

"Yes!"

……

In June, another new drama of Huashang Media, "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", officially premiered.

There is the popularity of "Palace Lock Heart Jade", "Palace Lock Bead Curtain" exploded directly as soon as it was broadcast, although there are many criticisms on the Internet, and the plot of the TV series has also been picked by netizens A lot of faults, but this drama is very popular, not an ordinary fire, and even more popular than "Flower Thousand Bone", which just created a big miracle some time ago.

On the day of the premiere, the ratings soared to 1.5%, the average rating increased to 2.1% in five days, and 2.4% in eight days - it is not an exaggeration to say that it is popular across the country.

Song Yi, as the heroine of "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", is naturally one of the biggest beneficiaries of the TV series ratings. Her previous role as Fan Ruoruo in "Celebrating More Than Years" has already made her stand out in the entertainment industry, and this time she played the role of the heroine in "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", which made her successfully consolidate her previous popularity At the same time, it is also obvious that it has reached a higher level.

With the hit of "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", various domestic satellite TV stations with certain strength, as well as major video websites such as Tencent and iQiyi, all focused their attention on another TV series under Huashang that has not been sold for the time being.

is "The Legend of Zhen Huan" co-starring Chen Jianbin, Sun Li, Jiang Xin and others.

In the past year, from "Obstetrician" starring Tong Liya, to "The Legend of Chu Qiao" starring Bai Bing, to Zhao Liying's "Flower Thousand Bone", and Song Yi's "Palace Lock Bead Curtain" - Huashang Media's TV series is a hit when it is released, and a hit when it is released, so is this "The Legend of Zhen Huan" still popular?

Of course!

At least that's what all the domestic David TV and video websites think.

So soon everyone scrambled, and everyone also privately told Huashang Media that they could increase the copyright transfer fee by a certain percentage on the basis of the copyright price of "Palace Lock Bead Curtain" and "Flower Thousand Bone".

For example, the network copyright fee of "Flower Thousand Bone" has reached 3.5 million per episode, so "The Legend of Zhen Huan" can be completely increased to 3.7 million per episode!

Don't look at it, it seems that only 200,000 are mentioned per episode, which seems to be very little, but you must know that the total number of episodes of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is as many as 76 episodes, 200,000 per episode, and 76 episodes are 15.2 million!

In the eyes of each family, this time their own family is sincere enough.

After all, no matter how good "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is, it may not be better than "Flower Thousand Bone", which has a double explosion of word-of-mouth ratings, right?

Li Mu didn't say that this drama had to sell as many episodes as possible, but he always felt that all parties were still underestimating the value of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", so he simply told Liu Siying and asked her to notify all those who were interested in buying the copyright, saying that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was the first of its kind in his Li Mu's eyes, so if the price was not suitable, he would rather press the TV series for a year.

That's right, it's to press for a year until the market price rises to a reasonable price in your heart!

In a word: "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the best of the best, too cheap to sell!

The five David TV stations in the country, as well as video website platforms such as Tencent, iQiyi, and Youku, all of them paid great attention to "The Legend of Zhen Huan" for a while.

Generally speaking, the drama party boasted about its own drama, and everyone was inappropriate, but the problem was that this time Lao Wang's person selling melons was Li Mu, and Li Mu personally sold melons and boasted to himself, everyone must think about whether today's melon is really so good!
