Chapter 171 Lurking
Before "Tai囧" was officially launched, Li Mu specially invited relevant creators to a party.Director Shen Junsheng, leading actors Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Shen Teng, Shen Teng's girlfriend Wang Qi, Happy Twist Mary, Li Mu's assistant Chen Zhixi, and Liu Yifei were all present.

After half a year, when Shen Teng, Bao Qiang, and Huang Bo saw Li Mu again, they all became a little cautious.

For these people, Li Mu's development in the past six months is really outrageous, so outrageous that everyone seems to hardly know Li Mu.

A single movie has a global box office of 17 billion US dollars, which has created an epoch-making 3D era of movies and led the storm of global movie revolution!In addition, the Oscars swept the best picture, best director, best actor, best actress and other awards-is this still the Director Li that everyone knew before?Such an outrageous achievement in just half a year?
Regardless of how familiar everyone was before, when we meet Li Mu again, it is basically impossible to say that he behaved as casually as usual.

But obviously Li Mu has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of atmosphere. After listening to a few words of his lively atmosphere, everyone quickly returned to the relatively relaxed state before.

"Director, it's not really your fault that the rest of us got angry when we saw you. It's because you've done it too exaggeratedly this time. Not to mention, I saw the news yesterday that you're about to overtake Spielberg. He has become the world's number one box-office director." After Shen Teng's initial restraint, he is now in a stance of letting himself go.

Li Mu asked curiously: "Total box office exceeds Spielberg? No. [-] in the world? Which media is so irresponsible and blind?"

Shen Teng said with a smile: "I think the media is quite responsible. The data are calculated according to the director's own words. The media said that the director's total box office is 48 billion US dollars. Some time ago you were interviewed and said that the total box office of the "Hunger Games" series It is estimated to be 30 billion US dollars, which adds up to 78 billion US dollars, and now Spielberg’s global box office is 80 billion US dollars, and the difference of 2 million is a matter for the director.”

After Shen Teng finished speaking, the entire private room was silent for a while.

Then Li Mu began to introduce his assistant Chen Zhixi to several people, and this time he was going to let Chen Zhixi out to take charge of his own affairs.

Briefly talk about the main creative lineup of this version of "Tai囧".

Director: Shen Junsheng.

Producer: Li Mu.

Producer: Chen Zhixi.

Actor Xu Lang: Shen Teng.

Male supporting role Wang Bao: Wang Baoqiang.

Male supporting role Gao Bo: Huang Bo.

Supporting actress Ann: Mary.

Guest star Liu Yifei: Liu Yifei.

Secretary: Xie Nan.

The role of Mary was played by Xu Zheng's wife Tao Hong in the original version. In this version, Xu Zheng's protagonist is gone, and the role of the protagonist's wife is naturally replaced.

On the second day of the party, Li Mu asked his assistant Chen Zhixi to meet Zhang Chen, the chairman of Happy Twist. He intends to acquire part of the shares of Happy Twist, and he needs to check Zhang Chen's tone first.

As a result, the next afternoon, Chen Zhixi brought accurate information-Zhang Chen, the chairman of Happy Twist, said that he was very willing to accept Li Mu's shareholding.

In fact, Zhang Chen has long planned to make a movie, but due to various reasons, the plan has been stranded.Now director Li Mu has offered to take a stake in Happy Twist Company?
This is simply a big pie falling from the world that can kill people!

Few of those who start a company do not aim to go public, but how high is Li Mu's status in the entertainment industry now?

Let's put it this way, if he announced today which entertainment company he is the major shareholder of, tomorrow the company will already be a favorite in the entire capital market, and even going public is already a matter of course.

In the end, after a few simple negotiations, Li Mu's Huashang Company purchased 43% of the shares of Happy Twist Media, and Huashang Media became the second largest shareholder of Happy Twist, with veto power.

After officially becoming a shareholder of Happy Twist, Li Mu immediately produced a movie script called "Charlotte's Annoyance". According to what he said to the Happy Twist team, the Twist team can adapt this movie script into a drama. Playing the role can also be regarded as an early test of the audience's recognition of the story.

……

During the period between the end of March and the beginning of April, the new "Three Kingdoms" must have a place in the most sensational news in the entertainment industry. According to media reports, the first and second rounds of broadcasting rights for the new "Three Kingdoms" TV series directed by Gao Xixi The selling price has reached as much as 2.3 million yuan, of which the first broadcast rights of the four satellite TVs in Huizhou, Suzhou, Jinmen, and Chongqing alone sold 1.6 million yuan.

It was also during this period that Li Mu's Huashang Media was also looking for a suitable buyer for the company's first TV series "Latent".

……

Beijing TV Station.

Director Zhang focused on various recent news about the new "Three Kingdoms" at the internal meeting of the TV station.

"It has basically been confirmed. The premiere date of the new "Three Kingdoms" is May 5. It is said that this time Huizhou Satellite TV will seamlessly broadcast the new version of "Three Kingdoms" after the broadcast of "News Network."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other.

Under normal circumstances, after broadcasting CCTV's "News Network", each satellite TV will generally have a segment advertisement of about 5 minutes. Now that Huizhou Satellite TV wants to seamlessly broadcast the new "Three Kingdoms" directly after the news, it is tantamount to giving up. The revenue of these 5 minutes of advertisements is lost, and the value of these 5 minutes of advertisements is at least 1000 million!
Director Zhao of the Film Purchase Department said at this time: "It is true that the 5-minute advertisement is worth 1000 million yuan, but at this time, Huizhou Satellite TV has already invested 1 million yuan in advertising by relying on the new "Three Kingdoms", 1000 million and 1 million yuan. , Huizhou Satellite TV has done a very fine job in this deal."

The director of the purchase department said this somewhat in the sense of complaining.

With the popularity of the new "Three Kingdoms" so high, Beijing TV Station naturally participated in the competition for the premiere broadcast rights some time ago, but in the end they had to give up because the price was too high.

The four satellite TVs jointly premiered, and each of them paid 4000 million yuan. No matter how you look at it, this business seems a bit outrageous.

It's not that I can't afford the money, but I just don't think it's worth it.

And the only one who insisted on introducing the new "Three Kingdoms" from beginning to end was the purchasing director, but obviously the plan of the purchasing director fell through in the end.

Now it seems that Beijing TV Station has undoubtedly missed a good opportunity.

The director said at this time: "Hua Shang Media has "Latent" and has completed all the post-production work. We have already missed "Three Kingdoms". We must not miss "Latent" this time."

The purchasing director nodded and said, "I'll go get in touch with it tomorrow. I heard that the script was written by Li Mu himself. I think the quality is guaranteed."

Someone said: "It's hard to say, movies and TV dramas are not the same thing. After all, this is Li Mu's first TV drama, and it is a spy war theme that he has never touched before."

　The best card is too strong. There may be two reasons. One is that the development of the protagonist seems to be a bit fast, and the other is that it is about to write the part of the TV series.

Sorry.

Thanks to "boring middle-aged man" for the reward.
