Chapter 292 The final box office exceeds 50 billion, and the big honey comes to the door

Yang Mi was flipping through the script of "Why Shengxiaomo" at home, when her agent pushed in the door.

"How?" Yang Mi put down the script and asked.

The agent shook his head: "The chairman personally made the decision, this time with Tong Liya."

Yang Mi fell silent upon hearing this.

How long has it been since she acted in her own movie?

Looking at Tong Liya again, "Cohabitation Beyond Time and Space" and "Beijing Love Story" are not enough, and now there are two films "Detective Chinatown" and "Looking for the Dragon".

And what about her?
There was a "Little Era" before, but it turned out that it was not its own film resources, and the box office was good, but its reputation was poor.

The manager persuaded her: "Ding Sitian is at best a female supporting role. I heard that the heroine will choose one of Zhang Yuqi and Lu Jingshan."

Yang Mi raised her brows: "So you're saying that you won't give me a chance if you hire an outsider this time?"

Agent: "Maybe the role is really not suitable."

Time came to the second day.

Yang Mi suddenly learned that Director Xu Ke is about to start the preparations for the new film "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom". The film still lacks an important female role. Director Xu Ke intends to choose one of the five beauties of Huashang. This time I personally recommended Tong Liya.

Yang Mi's mood exploded.

I won’t mention the previous ones, let’s just talk about the recent one. Not long after "Detective Chinatown" was finished, another "Looking for the Dragon" came out immediately. "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" was given to Tong Liya again?
She even suspected that there was something going on between the two of them, otherwise why would they treat her so well?
No, she is going to find Li Mu!
……

"Brother, which artist in our company makes the most money and contributes the most to the company?" After entering Li Mu's office, Yang Mi asked a random question.

Li Mu didn't know what the other party meant, and replied, "Of course it's Liu Yifei."

With Liu Yifei's status as a celebrity today, his ability to attract money has already exploded.

Yang Mi choked for a moment: "She doesn't count, how can we compare her resources? We don't have a pillow to blow around, and it's impossible to get world-class resources, except her?"

Li Mu understood what she meant, but he deliberately didn't say it clearly: "Except for her? Then I don't know. Everyone in the world knows that the highest peak in the world is Mount Everest, but few people know which is the second highest peak in the world."

Yang Mi took a deep breath, and her chest heaved: "The second is me! It's just that I didn't expect that I would run around every day to make money for the company day and night, but you still look down on me."

"I don't like you? Where did this come from?"

"Obviously, Huashang Wumei has a lot of film resources in our company, but I only have "Little Times" that was scolded to death."

"Isn't it? Is there no you in "To Youth"?"

"You see, unless Huashang has all the five beauties, I still can't turn to good movie resources."

"The global box office of "Shark Beach" broke 3 million U.S. dollars. Huashang Wuli is not much compared to this resource, right?"

Yang Mi: "Huh? That... That movie was all 800 years ago, I'm talking about recent times!"

She actually forgot about "Shark Beach". In fact, thinking about it carefully, Li Mu is actually good to her. At least "Shark Beach" is indeed the top resource that Huashang Wumili can get.

"Okay, I got it, I'll arrange it for you another day." Now that Yang Mi had already approached her, Li Mu just made a big cake for her.

"Don't change the day, just today!" Yang Mi said.

"Today? Eldest sister, you think that the script that suits you just fell from the sky, if you say it, there will be one!"

"You are a genius, even if you really don't have it now, as long as you write it right away, won't you have it in a while?"

Li Mu laughed angrily: "Write it right away? Elder sister, have you forgotten your identity? I am the boss and you are the boss? Are you teaching me how to do things? Why are you crazy to die now!"

Yang Mi looked disapproving: "Brother, Huashang Media is a private enterprise, not a state-owned enterprise. Do you know what a private enterprise is? It means that whoever can make money for the boss will be treated as an aunt by the boss."

Li Mu actually felt that what she said made a little sense, so he said: "It seems that I don't have such rules, but... well, let me see if there is any script that suits you."

"There must be, even if it doesn't exist now, if you think about it right away, there will be in a while."

"Are you forcing me to write a script that suits you right away?"

Yang Mi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Li Mu sighed, and the swivel chair slid to the front of the computer. After a while, the sound of clacking and typing on the keyboard resounded in the office.

Yang Mi was stunned.

She just now forced the chairman to write a script for herself immediately?
Isn't this killing it?

Didn't my brain get kicked by a donkey just now?
Is it too late to say that I was joking just now?

No!

The script written by Li Mu himself was specially written for her. Even if the sky falls in the future, she still wants this script!
Seeing Li Mu typing away, all kinds of thoughts in Yang Mi's little head surged up like Baotu Spring.

Still bubbling.

Yang Mi was brainstorming there, and she heard Li Mu say: "Okay, you take these two pieces of paper to the screenwriting department of the company, and let them write the script according to the outline of the plot above."

"Um, ah?"

Yang Mi looked at the buzzing sound of the printer, and couldn't get around it for a while.

Just for a while, the script is written?
Are you fooling around?
"Brother, what are you? Finished writing?"

Li Mu leaned on the chair: "Finish? What are you thinking about? There is only an outline. A script can easily cost [-] to [-] words, or [-] to [-] more. You don't really think I can finish it in a while, do you?"

Yang Mi picked up the paper and scanned it quickly.

"Happy Death Day."

"Heroine Yang Li: Because of her mother's early death and a bad relationship with her father, drinking and clubbing and one-night stands were her daily life, until she was inexplicably murdered at her birthday party, and when she woke up she found that she had returned to her birthday. On the morning of the banquet, she thought it was a nightmare, but what was strange was that the encounters in the dream were fulfilled one by one in reality, until she was killed again. The repeated killing process made her body get worse and worse. Poor, the only way she can save herself is to find the real culprit while being stabbed to death again and again!"

"Protagonist Zhou Fei: I drove the drunk Yang Li to my dormitory..."

The content of the script is very short, only a rough outline of the story, but Yang Mi was fascinated at first glance. Everyone knows that her boss is the best at playing with the concept of time and space, from "Returning to 20" to "Time and Space Traveler", and then From Tong Liya's "Cohabitation in Time and Space", Huashang's space-time related films not only hit the box office, but also have excellent reputation. The most important ones are "Cohabitation in Time and Space" and "Return to 20 Years Old is a true chick flick.

For an actress, a good chick flick can do more than a superhero flick.

"It seems that this "Happy Death Day" is a chick movie that is extremely important to actresses. I just got nervous and forced the boss to write the script on the spot, but did I go the right way?"

"It also said that there is no suitable script for me, don't you see that there is one here?"

Yang Mi finally read the synopsis of the script and raised her head: "Brother, why don't you write the script yourself? How can the level of the screenwriters in the screenwriting department compare to you!"

Li Mu frowned, and Yang Mi immediately picked up the script outline: "I'll take it to the screenwriting department right away!"

Before leaving Li Mu's office, Yang Mi suddenly thought: "You said that I am a Huashang artist, but I forced the chairman to write the script for me personally, and even asked to write it immediately. Who gave me the courage? The key is as the chairman. He really wrote it right away, if it gets out, outsiders won't suspect that there is something between me and the chairman?"

Stepping on high heels, he came to the screenwriting department on the same floor.

"I have an outline of the script. The chairman just wrote it himself. Please improve the script."

"Today can be regarded as having experienced the genius of the chairman. I just sat in the office and begged the chairman to make a tailor-made script for me immediately. It was extremely difficult for the chairman to write the script at the beginning. In the end, I refused to leave. He immediately I just got it out, and it took less than 10 minutes."

After Yang Mi left, the entire Huashang scriptwriting department was in chaos.

Yang Mi, ask the chairman to write a script for her immediately?
Have you eaten bear heart and leopard gall?

The key is that the chairman actually agreed?

The scary thing is that it came out in 10 minutes?
This Yang Mi - there is something!

The outline of the script was passed on by several screenwriters, and everyone read the name of the script in unison: "Happy Death Day"!
……

Meanwhile, Now Now You See Me is still in theaters around the world.

From Monday to Friday of the new week, the cumulative domestic box office was 1.21 million yuan, and the daily daily income on Saturday and Sunday was 7300 million yuan, bringing the cumulative domestic box office to 21.54 billion yuan.

In the fourth week, it reported 5300 million yuan from Monday to Friday, and 3300 million yuan on Saturday and Sunday. The national box office officially exceeded 22 billion yuan.

From Monday to Sunday of the fifth week, it reported a total of 4580 million yuan, and its domestic box office officially exceeded the 23 billion mark.

After the fifth week, its daily box office dropped to a few million yuan. By the time the film was officially released, its final domestic box office was 24.42 billion yuan.

As for the overseas box office of the film.

Its final box office in North America was 1.41 million US dollars, 2.37 million yuan outside North America, and its total foreign box office was 3.78 million US dollars, equivalent to about 25.7 billion yuan, plus its box office in the domestic market. The final global box office of the film was 50.124 billion yuan, equivalent to about 7.37 million U.S. dollars.

So the domestic media collectively exploded.

In fact, everyone has long been looking forward to the release of "The Thieves". Before that, the global box office of director Li Mu was about 85 billion US dollars, while that of director Spielberg, who ranked first in the world, was about 91 billion US dollars.

Based on the box office performance of "Now Now You See Me" in the global market, this wave of director Li is almost certain to be crowned the world's number one, okay?
And Li Mu did not disappoint the eagerly awaited netizens at all. 85 billion plus 7.37 million is equal to 92.37 billion US dollars.

From now on, the director with the most box office appeal in the world, the director with the highest cumulative box office of the films directed by the world, and the great sci-fi director will be our Chinese director Li Mu!

It worked!
In fact, as early as a few weeks ago, everyone knew that Li Mu had surpassed Spielberg, but the film has not been released yet, so the media are still reserved.

Now that "The Thieves" is officially released, the media will completely let themselves go:

"92.37 billion US dollars, congratulations to director Li Mu for being number one in the world!"

"Huaxia director Li Mu has successfully crowned the throne of world director!"

"First, there was the fertile soil of China's film industry, and then there was the birth of China's proud director Li Mu!"

"Director Spielberg has been the god of world cinema for quite a long time. From surpassing Spielberg in the total box office to surpassing Spielberg in the hearts of movie fans, Director Li Mu still has a long way to go in the future. !"

"92 billion has already been obtained, will 100 billion be far behind?"

"Some people say that Li Mu is China's Spielberg, but this statement is actually inaccurate. In fact, if you study the works of director Li Mu carefully, you can find that he is actually more like China's Spielberg + James Card Mellon + Nolan + Luc Besson!"

Domestic netizens:

"Although I already knew that Director Li surpassed Spielberg is a certainty, but when this day really comes, I still can't help being very excited!"

"Tears, before Director Li Mu came out, I thought that Huaxia movies were about to die. In those years, Guoshi filmed "White Flowers in the City", and director Chen Kai spent 3 million yuan to create "The Promise", which is related to steamed buns. Happy New Year The king of Xiaogangpao made an ethical blockbuster "Night Banquet". At that time, everyone was focused on making a blockbuster, but all of them were in a mess. Until the director Li Mu, an unemployed young man in the computer science department, came out with "Hurricane Rescue". You can also wrestle arms with Hollywood head-on!"

"Li Mu was not born in the sky, and Chinese movies will last forever!"

""Gravity" actually set off a global 3D movie storm before "Avatar", can you believe it?"

Ziyu Villa.

Liu Yifei: "Mom, Li Mu's total box office is number one in the world."

Liu Xiaoli: "Ah? Ah! By the way, I just read the news that the transaction volume of Li Mu's group buying company is likely to exceed the 400 billion mark this year."

Liu Yifei: "Mom! I'm talking about movies!"

Liu Xiaoli: "Last year's transaction volume was only 200 billion, and this year it will exceed 400 billion. Li Mu's teamwork is developing too fast. If it continues to develop like this, it is uncertain what it will be like in the future, but you can't be careless. I I also read in the news that there is a company called Meituan, and their transaction volume this year will probably reach 300 billion.”

Liu Yifei: "Mom, I'm not interested in his business."

Liu Xiaoli: "Now Pintuan and Meituan are both making efforts in the food delivery market. I heard that Ele.me, the first to make efforts, is squeezed by these two. It is difficult to operate. It is not good if you are not interested. From now on, you will be his daughter-in-law. His business will be yours. If you don't care, why should someone care about Yang Mi and Tong Liya?"

……

Yang Mi came to Li Mu's office again. Hua Shang's screenwriting department finally finished writing "Happy Death Day". She came to take a look and care about her boss by the way.

In Li Mu's office, Yang Mi talked eloquently.

"Brother, congratulations, you now have a total box office of 92 billion US dollars, and with less than 8 million US dollars left, you will become the world's first director with [-] billion US dollars."

Li Mu: "Thank you!"

Yang Mi put on a puzzled expression: "But I heard that my next film will be a TV series. In fact, TV series can be filmed at any time. At this time, it is time to make a movie first and get the title of the first tens of billions of dollars director. Anyway, I can't figure out why you insist on making a TV series first."

Li Mu smiled when he heard this: "This drama is very important to me."

Yang Mi thought about it: "His next drama is "Let's Get Married", won't he be?"

"Brother, you don't want to marry her after filming this movie, do you?"

Li Mu neither denied nor admitted it, but Yang Mi was convinced of her own judgment when she saw the situation, and then she couldn't help thinking: "He is so stupid, a big director and boss like him, the best thing is not to get married for the rest of his life." Shuang, if it's just for wanting a child, wouldn't anyone give birth to him if he didn't get married? He wants to get married so stupidly, what if he regrets it in the future? What if he gets tired of it in the future? It's so stupid, I don't know Leave yourself a way out! Fool, what a genius, which genius would do such a stupid thing?"
