Chapter 1062 Recovery
The Spring Festival movie "Unknown" fell behind on the first day of the Lunar New Year, with a box office of 1.3 million yuan, which is almost the same as the box office of "Boonie Bears: Big Big Wolf".

On the second day, it was even worse than "Boonie Bears" and fell into the third tier.

The first tier is undoubtedly "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Man Jiang Hong". The industry predicts that both films will be blockbusters with a box office of over 30 billion.

The second tier seems a bit lonely, with only one children's animation, "Boonie Bears", with an estimated box office of 10-15 billion yuan.

The latter ones are naturally less than 10 billion.

Nowadays, the Spring Festival period is becoming more and more polarized. On the other hand, "Go Where the Wind Is" starring Liu Yifei and Li Mu has ended, setting a new record for CCTV's prime time ratings in 2023, breaking through 2.5%, and peaking at over 2.7%.

Liu Yifei and the crew even received a letter of thanks from the Dali State Committee, thanking "Go Where the Wind Is" for becoming the best promotional film for Dali.

"Why didn't you come to thank me specially?" Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei's happy expression and said "indignantly".

He also deliberately gave Liu Yifei a little more happiness. After all, there is a gap only when there is a comparison, which makes this thank-you letter even more valuable.

As expected, after hearing this, Liu Yifei smiled until her teeth were exposed, and then she quickly comforted him, "Maybe it was leaked, how about I try to get it for you?"

"???" Li Mu was stunned when he heard that. "You still want to fight for it? Do you think it's cabbage?"

"Hehe, I'm just saying it." Liu Yifei rested her head on Li Mu's chest, "Maybe I look too good in the drama, and I'm the spokesperson, so it's normal for me to say that. Who told you not to show your face?"

"Alright, alright, that's a bargain for you."

"What do you mean by giving me a bargain? I have made a huge contribution, so this is what I deserve!"

"Yes Yes Yes"

Time passed quickly and it was evening. A piece of news suddenly broke the tranquility in the circle.

Because the list of nominations for the 2023th Academy Awards in 95 has been announced!
The popular film "Blink" leads with 11 nominations, becoming the biggest seed for this year's Oscars, and Michelle Yeoh has also become the Chinese nominated for the Best Actress Oscar.

For a time, there was a heated discussion online about whether Michelle Yeoh could become the first Chinese to win an Oscar for Best Actress.

"I actually have a competitor?"

After Jiang Wen finished paying New Year's greetings, he couldn't help but murmur on the phone.

"Why, you are allowed to take it but no one else is allowed to?" Li Mu said with a faint smile, "It would be a waste if you took it. I shouldn't have given it to you back then."

"What do you mean by waste? After all, I have participated in a Hollywood blockbuster as an actor. But directing is my favorite. I still have to do my job well."

"You think your job is to be an actor."

"Then it was changed later." Jiang Wen corrected Li Mu's statement, "But do you think Michelle Yeoh has a chance? Her opponent is not easy either."

"It's hard to say. As long as you're shortlisted, you have a chance. Wasn't it the same for you back then?"

Li Mu answered vaguely.

It is indeed as Jiang Wen said. In fact, if Michelle Yeoh is based on the past, her chances of winning are really not high. After all, the competition is also very strong, including Cate Blanchett in "Tar", Ana de Armas in "Blonde", and Michelle Williams in "Dream House".
But this year we really did get a chance.

After all, the Oscars is an awards ceremony that focuses on political correctness, and in recent years, the chances of minority and female actors winning awards have increased. Michelle Yeoh's acting in "The Blink of an Eye" is a breakthrough, and the movie itself also has a certain meaning.
"Too."

Jiang Wen nodded, and then the two stopped discussing this topic. After all, it had little to do with them. The Spring Festival holiday passed quickly, and the days of eating and drinking at home were always very short.

The Spring Festival data also came out.

Maoyan also specially made a summary of the data for the Spring Festival period and announced it before Tao Piaopiao, which quickly attracted heated discussions among the public.

According to data from Maoyan Professional Edition, as of January 1, the total box office of the 27 Spring Festival was 2023 billion yuan, ranking second in the Spring Festival box office in Chinese film history.

A total of two movies had box office revenues exceeding 2 billion yuan, namely "The Wandering Earth 20" and "Man Jiang Hong".

For the audience, everyone is very proud of their contribution to a certain film, claiming to be involved in a project worth billions. However, for people in the industry, the Spring Festival period is more like a signal of the recovery of the film and television industry this year.

On the first day of work, film and television companies began to summarize this year's Spring Festival period and prepare to launch new projects. Everything seemed to be back on track.

"First of all, thank you for your hard work last year. This year, we have "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Red River" in the Spring Festival. Both movies have achieved good results. I believe everyone has watched them during the Spring Festival. This year."

On the first day of work, Li Mu also went back to Mengying Media to give him some encouragement. However, compared with other companies, Mengying Media definitely won a great victory during the Spring Festival, so the whole company was in high spirits.

Just a few days after the film and television industry resumed work, news came that shocked the entire industry: the final box office in January 2023 reached 1 billion yuan, breaking the 100.87 billion mark for the fifth time in the history of the single-month market, and it was the first time that the mainland market achieved this achievement outside of February.

This is also the fastest time in history that the mainland market has broken through 100 billion, a full 10 days earlier than last year.

This exaggerated recovery speed shocked the industry.

"These days, the film and television industry has more than 50 projects on record, and it is expected that there will be more in the future, Maoyan Culture"

In the office of the Maoyan Building, Zheng Zhihao was reporting.

Li Mu sat in the chairman's seat, looking through the prepared materials.

There are indeed benefits to being a distributor, because almost all projects will contact Maoyan, and even if they don’t contact Maoyan, they will contact Tao Piaopiao, because the two companies almost monopolize the online distribution channels.

Li Mu also saw a lot of project information. Basically, they would reserve a small share to allow Maoyan Culture to participate in it, which can be regarded as a little benefit as a distributor.

“This is the film we are going to be involved in producing and distributing so far this year.”

After flipping through a few pages of information, Li Mu looked at the screen.

At this time, Wang Changtian was discussing quietly with Li Mu next door, "Director Li, the data is so good, should we do something big this year?"

Obviously, Wang Changtian also feels that the film and television industry may take off this year. The exaggerated January data reminds people of the previous period of rapid development of the film and television industry.

"Mr. Wang, you have to be cautious about this data on retaliatory consumption. Besides, without good projects, you will be powerless even if you want to make a big splash."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head.

"Forehead"

"But we really can't miss the good opportunity to warm up. Comedy never goes out of style. I am quite optimistic about this movie, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop."

Li Mu drew a horizontal line for the movie in the information, which means that Maoyan will focus on it.
