Chapter 126 Gong Li, a native of Tang Dynasty

Back at Mengying, Li Mu also directly asked Lu Yu to give orders, and the promotion of "Ip Man" was done in cooperation with Emperor.

Let’s start with his life story in the early stage.

"Mr. Li, this is the book you mentioned last time." Lu Yu came over holding a book with a black cover.

"Well, let me take a look!" Li Mu took the book. The big white characters on the cover were very eye-catching.

"Latent", Li Mu looked at the author of the book, Long Yi.

Li Mu started reading directly. There were not many words in the book, only more than 1 words, and all the characters together were only six or seven.

However, Li Mu read this book with gusto. He spent a long time reading every word carefully and finished it.

Li Mu directly called Liu Weijuan, "Contact the author of this book and ask him to participate in the adaptation if appropriate. This is the main TV series of Mengying this year."

If this book is to be made into a TV series, this book can only be used as an outline, with many characters and various details interspersed in the middle to add fullness.

It would be best if the author can participate in the adaptation together.

Liu Weijuan took the book, glanced at it a few times, and nodded.

The plan for this TV series just fills the gap in the production of this year's Dream TV series.

At this time, Gong Li, who was far away in the beautiful country, was still negotiating with Steven Spielberg for a new role.

Gong Li, who had always wanted to break into Hollywood, now looked tired.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" has top director Steven Spielberg, producer George Lucas, and Harrison Ford as the male lead.

The film production cost is close to 2 million, which is definitely a big production.

Gong Li was really tempted and gave up his position as jury chairman of the Baodao Film Golden Horse Awards without hesitation, just for this movie.

She also had a duel with Blanchett. Although Steven Spielberg recognized her performance, he didn't seem to care whether she starred in it.

As an experienced actor, you can clearly feel whether the director will use you.

At this time, Gong Li felt a little cold in her heart. Although this was a traitor, she was still unwilling to give up. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In the last movie "Miami Vice", she played a female Cuban drug lord, which is also a villain. However, after the movie was released, she directly won the weekend top spot on the North American movie box office list.

This is a movie that can hit the box office, and Gong Li knows it very well.

Liu Yifei's "I Am Legend" has already exceeded US$6 million. Even though she is a supporting role, many directors around the world have remembered her.

Two days ago, she got an important role in Nolan's new movie. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.

It was so smooth to have Li Mu by his side to protect him. "The King of Kung Fu" would not be filmed if it was not to be filmed, and then he got a role in Nolan's new movie.

If Lao Mouzi had agreed to go to sea with her, maybe she could have easily won.

Gong Li calmed down and thought carefully, and finally gave Zhang Yi a call.

After Lao Mouzi learned about Gong Li's request, he was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll ask about this matter."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Mouzi couldn't help but take out a cigarette and lit it silently.

He and Spielberg have a close friendship, and they are cross-border friends.

Spielberg is also the cultural consultant for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

But this is hard to say, and the movie is owned by Paramount Pictures. The screenwriter and producer are both George Lucas. It would be inappropriate to rashly disrupt the movie's casting plan.

"Director Zhang, this is in the center of the stadium." The Olympic Games director team was calling Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou didn't think too much, as the time at hand was important at this time.

During this period, Maggie Cheung, who was making a comeback, pushed for invitations from many directors, including Lu Xun's "Nanjing!"Nanjing! ", Tang Jili's "Diary".

Accepted the invitation from Jia Zhangke's "The Club of Two Heroes".

By the way, he also criticized Zhang Ziyi, "I make one film every two years now, because I can maintain the fun of making films, but I have also promoted many film appointments, including "Memoirs of a Geisha", which made Zhang Ziyi famous overseas, because I don't want to return to My hometown is said to have sold out our culture while making money.”

As soon as he said this, he also aroused unanimous cheers from the majority of netizens.

Zhang Ziyi read the online comments and didn't care at all.

At this time, she had been selected by Chen Kaige to be the heroine of "Mei Lanfang", playing the role of Meng Xiaodong, a Peking opera artist with an open and cheerful personality.

It is said that the leading actor is about to be decided, and it is Li Ming who was rumored some time ago.

On the Hollywood side, thinking about the man she is leaning on at this time, this should not be a problem. After finishing "Mei Lanfang", she will go straight to Hollywood.

She was a little reluctant to think that Gong Li was working on "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4".

As a rising star, Yifei Liu has moved closer and closer to Hollywood blockbusters, and her roles have become more important each time.

If she slacks off, she might be surpassed one day.

Thinking of this possibility, his eyes became extremely firm.

"Boss, Guo Taiming sent an invitation letter to the charity gala, inviting you to attend." Lu Yu walked in at this time and handed Li Mu a letter with a gold and red edge.

Li Mu didn't even look at it. This thing was purely trying to sell dog meat. The then Guo Taiming had been having a heated fight with Lin Chiling recently.

The four-cornered relationship formed by Guo Liu, Lianglin and others has been on the front page of gossip news in the industry all day long.

Tony Leung's resignation cast a shadow over "Red Cliff", and the crew quickly found a replacement actor.

Jin Chengwu rushed to the set of "Red Cliff".

Last year's data has been released, and the domestic box office continues to maintain an upward trend, with momentum getting better year by year.

06年全国电影综合收入57.3亿元，票房收入为26.2亿元。其中国产电影总票房为14.4亿元，进口片票房为11.8亿元。

Compared with 20 billion last year, it increased by more than 30%.

Unfortunately, imported films account for 45%, so theaters have always wanted to liberalize the number of imported films.

Not only has it suffered a disastrous defeat at home, but South Korea has also suffered a complete defeat since the Chinese New Year.

South Korean cinemas have become a Hollywood blockbuster. Local films have completely collapsed, and the top spot in the box office rankings has always been occupied by Hollywood blockbusters.

Li Mu also shook his head when he saw this data, but his current posture was somewhat helpless.

This year’s blockbuster films probably have no domestic competition.

This is because the domestic film industry as a whole must make progress in order to resist the invasion of foreign blockbusters. Just relying on a few people is not enough.

Li Mu can only slowly promote the industrialization of films.

As for Xiangjiang's data, it has fallen directly to the bottom in 06, the most sluggish year since the 80s.

Once known as "Oriental Hollywood", Xiangjiang Film's decline has been irreversible.

Hong Kong's film companies and stars currently have no choice but to co-produce with mainland China.

Mengying Media's new script is in the polishing stage. Lu and Yang are still busy working on it, and basically everyone in the writing team is working on it.

There are too many interested people in the industry, and there are already rumors that Mengying is about to start a new movie project.

Although the source of the news is vague, the news was still taken note of by the actors and some companies.

After all, no matter who’s movie you invest in, it’s not as safe as investing in Mengying Media’s movie.

At this time, two unexpected guests came to the company.

Li Mu was also a little surprised when he heard what the secretary handed him.

After all, it has never been involved, and Li Mu has rarely met her family's artists.

"Mr. Cai! Why didn't you say hello in advance when you came?" Li Mu pushed open the door of the reception room and chuckled.

Cai Yinong and the woman stood up quickly, "Mr. Li!"

"Huh? Who is this?" Li Mu looked at the woman in front of him, a little coldly, and asked deliberately.

"The artist I just signed, Liu Shishi."

"Oh, your team's bundling marketing is pretty good." Li Mu said casually.

Cai Yinong finally realized that when Li Mu first asked, she really thought that Li Mu didn't know about it.

He quickly explained: "That's all nonsense from the media."

Liu Shishi was also a little frightened.

"Okay, without further ado, does Mr. Cai come here for something?"

Cai Yinong smiled and said, "Mengying is entering the field of TV dramas. Tangren is also a veteran in this industry. We can cooperate more."

"If there is a good TV script, Mengying doesn't mind investing. As for the cooperation in the production of TV series, Mengying has already had the opportunity, and the two parties have been cooperating."

Li Mu's intention was very clear and he had no intention of cooperating with the Tang people.

Tang Dynasty can do a good job in costumes, and Mengying Media can also produce them, so there is no need to cooperate and split money.

At this time, the Tang people did not have the resources to defeat him.

Cai Yinong saw that the cooperation in the TV series could not be reached, so he gritted his teeth and prepared to make some blood.

"Mr. Li, Tangren has always wanted to enter the film field. If Mr. Li's movies have a share, Tangren is willing to buy them at a high price."

"Buy at a high price? What will Mengying have to pay?" Li Mu asked with a little interest.

It seems that the rumor that Tang Ren has always wanted to enter the film industry is true. After all, there is a chain of contempt among the circles.

In recent years, the film industry has also given Tang people hope.

"Tangren only needs an investment amount. Of course, it would be better if Mr. Li could help Tangren's actors if it is convenient." Cai Yinong felt that his conditions were quite good. As long as the investment amount was met, he didn't even need actors.

As long as the cooperation starts, there will always be opportunities to support our own actors.

"Mr. Cai, first of all, Mengying's movies are not short of investment, and secondly, everyone's purchase amount is at a premium. With all due respect, this condition of Tang Ren is not attractive at all."

Li Mu checked his watch and said, "Sorry, I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."

"Lu Yu, go shopping with Mr. Cai."

After calling his secretary, Li Mu turned around and left.

Cai Yinong was also a little confused. This was very inconsistent with her previous prediction.

Frustration ensues.

"Let's go." Cai Yinong also waved his hand and asked Liu Shishi to leave together.

"Mr. Cai, is Mengying so strong? Is there no other film companies and directors besides it?" Although Liu Shishi just signed with Tangren, he is no longer a newcomer in the industry.

She is also very aware of the natural separation between the film industry and the television industry.

Now that she has entered this circle, she has to move up. If she can act in a movie, she will definitely not give up.

"Tangren will continue to contact us later, and we will finish filming the TV series first." Cai Yinong was also unwilling, but at this time, Xiangjiang was in full decline. Tangren was relying on the resources of Xiangjiang, and it was indeed powerless.
