Chapter 1089: The theater is available (two chapters left, it will take a few minutes)
"When can you let me rest assured?"

Brother Chen Kai is furious at home at this moment.

The serious box office failure was largely related to his son, and he was well aware of this. Although he scoffed at many people's film reviews, he still read some of them and the overall evaluation was still good.

just
Chen Feiyu lowered his head and remained silent.

Chen Hong didn't dare to persuade Brother Chen Kai to calm down, and finally could only change the subject.

"Has the Sixth Princess's news come down yet?"

"It's down!" Brother Chen Kai exhaled softly, "Let's see how it performs in the next few days.
Although the Sixth Princess took sides and canvassed support for "The Volunteer Army", she was still unable to save the film from its declining trend.

On October 10, the 8-day holiday ended, and the National Film Administration also released statistics:
The total box office of movies during the National Day holiday in 2023 was 27.34 billion yuan, with 6510 million moviegoers. The box office of domestic films was 26.18 billion yuan, accounting for 95.78% of the market.

The film "As Solid as a Rock" became the box office champion of this year's National Day holiday with a box office of 8.83 million yuan.

《前任4：英年早婚》《志愿军：雄兵出击》《莫斯科行动》《好像也没那么热血沸腾》分别以6.19亿元、4.98亿元、4.09亿元、1.05亿元，分列档期票房榜第二、三、四、五位。

At first glance it seems pretty good, but compared to previous years, the results are far behind.

And there are two of the top three domestic directors among them.

Fortunately, Zhang Yimou won the championship, so the pressure fell on Brother Chen Kai.

The box office revenue was only 4.98 million yuan, not even reaching 5 million yuan. This is really ugly.

Not only was there a lot of discussion in the industry, but even netizens did not let Brother Chen Kai off the hook and made fun of him to their heart's content.

However, Li Mu did not pay too much attention to the box office, because the current major events of Mengying Media are still focused on Wanda Films.

"How about it?"

In the office of the chairman of Mengying Media, Li Mu picked up the teacup and asked softly.

"Mr. Li, Ruyi has agreed not to fight for it, but they want us to promise that if they are interested in Wanda's future shares, Mengying needs to do our best to help them."

Ye Ning reported one by one, "And they want to form a strategic partnership with Mengying Media!"

"They are good at negotiating conditions. You can agree to the first item, but don't worry about the second one. Let's wait and see how sincere they are. In fact, strategic cooperation can be very empty or very sincere."

Ye Ning nodded after hearing this, "I understand, Director Li."

"I have already agreed with Director Wang that the team can come in. Let's finalize it as soon as possible and complete it before December. Without the interference from Ruyi Film and Television, I think there won't be any big problems. If you have any questions, come to me."

"."

Time flies, and before we know it, December is here.

At noon on December 12, Wanda Film suddenly issued an announcement stating that the company received a notice on December 6, 2023 that the company's indirect controlling shareholder, Didu Wanda Cultural Industry Group Co., Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiary BJ Hengrun Enterprise Management Development Co., Ltd., and the company's actual controller Wang Jianlin intend to transfer their combined 12% equity in the company's controlling shareholder Beijing Wanda Investment Co., Ltd. to Mengying Media Co., Ltd. If the above matters are finally implemented, it will lead to a change in the company's control.
As soon as the news came out, some industry insiders who were behind the times felt that things were about to change in the film and television industry.

Because this means that the control of China's largest cinema chain has been transferred to China's largest private film and television company, which is a privately controlled company that has not yet been listed.

This change has an absolute impact on production companies.

Mengying Media also quickly issued an announcement stating that after the completion of this equity transfer, although Mr. Li Mu, chairman of Mengying Media, will join the Wanda Film Board of Directors and serve as chairman, Mr. Ye Ning will be appointed as the president of Wanda Film and participate in its daily operations and management decisions. However, Wanda Investment will not be a subsidiary of Mengying Media, and its financial results will not be included in Mengying Media's consolidated financial statements.
When the news about Mengying Media was announced, it officially announced that Wanda Films was going to change owners in a real sense.

For a moment, countless people were filled with emotion.

“I didn’t expect to witness the rise of Wanda Films, and finally witness the change of ownership of Wanda Films!”

"It's really unpredictable. Wang Jianlin, who originally thought 100 million was just a small goal, didn't expect that he would need to sell Wanda Cinemas to make ends meet!"

"."

Just as the two announcements were made, Li Mu and Wang Jianlin had already signed the agreement, handed it to each other, and then shook hands.

"Mr. Wang, thank you!"

"It's not about thanking me or not. You have to manage it well, otherwise I might buy it back someday." Wang Jianlin joked, but his eyes were fixed on the agreement, revealing a hint of nostalgia and reluctance.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, Wanda Films will get better and better."

"Well, I hope I didn't entrust it to the wrong person."

"Boss Wang, this time it's my treat, let's go, I've already booked a table at the restaurant."

There is give and take, this time it was Li Mu's turn to host, and he gestured.

"Okay, let's go." Wang Jianlin said with a smile, then turned his head and looked at Wang Sicong standing beside him, "Let's go, you come too."

Li Mu smiled and nodded without saying anything more.

Obviously, Wanda’s crisis has also prompted Wang Jianlin to put Wang Sicong’s training on the agenda.

The dusk poured down the glass curtain wall of China World Trade Center Phase III, dyeing Jianguo Road into a long amber river.

Three black cars glided along the reflection of the China Zun, their headlights cutting through the deepening dusk on Chang'an Avenue.

After having dinner with a few people, Li Mu asked the driver to drive back home.

The lights in the house were still as bright as before, and there were a few sounds of laughter coming from the little one.

At this time, the little bun had not reacted yet, but Ala, who was playing with the little bun, rushed out of the living room excitedly and came to the yard. At this time, the gate slowly opened and the car was slowly driving in.

Li Mu got out of the car, and Ala's tail had already turned towards the taillights, but another figure pounced over, it was the little bun who was already in the third grade.

Compared to Allah, the little bun was still very light. Li Mu just hugged him lightly and lifted him up high.

"How was your performance in school today?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

"I'm so good that my teacher asked me to represent the school in the competition"

"real or fake?"

"It must be true." When the little kid heard that Li Mu still had doubts, he immediately became unhappy and started talking a lot.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he heard that, and then he looked at Liu Yifei who was waiting for him to go home a few meters away. Her gentle eyes seemed to be engraved with the memories of him and Xiao Baozi.
