Chapter 282 Investment, Bazaar

"I'm home."

Seeing Li Mu return, Liu Yifei quickly stepped forward and asked curiously:
"Is there really a project as mentioned on the Internet?"

"Ah."

"I want to read the script." Liu Yifei suddenly transformed into a cute and soft girl, shaking Li Mu's right hand with both hands, her big eyes full of expectation.

Li Mu complained speechlessly: "I usually just throw it aside and you don't even look at it."

"Ah, you said they were those mechas you drew?" Liu Yifei suddenly remembered, "I thought you were obsessed with watching mecha animations recently."

Liu Yifei stepped forward to take a look, and suddenly lost interest.

"But you do have to read the script."

Li Mu took out the script from the document bag.

"why?"

"Because you play the heroine in this movie."

"Ah?" Liu Yifei quickly opened the script and started reading.

"Then who will be the male lead?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"It can't be you." Liu Yifei was suddenly pleasantly surprised. Seeing that Li Mu didn't deny it, "It's really you."

"Hehe, but you are really miserable in the script."

Liu Yifei leaned against Li Mu, reading and commenting.

"The story is really exciting. It feels a little different from other science fiction films. This one has a heavier story."

"You are right. In terms of setting and logic, this script has been very sophisticated, and the narrative plays a very important role."

"When are you going to shoot?"

"It's estimated to be next year. It will take half a year just to prepare."

The time given by Golden Shield is several months, and with the rest of the preparations, it will take almost half a year.

"By the way, are you going to Bazaar this year?"

Liu Yifei suddenly asked, in late September, it was the Bazaar Charity Night again.

This year is to provide aid to trafficked children and children with serious illnesses.

"The day after tomorrow?" Li Mu thought about his schedule, "Maybe I can't spare the time, so I made an appointment to meet someone. You also met him a few days ago."

"Who?"

Liu Yifei asked curiously, had she seen him a few days ago?
"Liu Hongtao!"

"Oh, the boss of Happy Twist, do you want to cooperate?" Liu Yifei didn't go into details, "Okay, I'll go on your behalf."

"Well, if you see something you like, take a photo."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and said, "Okay."

In late September, several domestic blockbusters will be released one after another, including "Revolution of 9" by Cheng Long and Li Binbin, "The Legend of White Snake" with Li Lianjie as the main promotion, and the magical blockbuster "Painted Wall".

The three film companies are engaged in a fierce promotion war, and the one that does not follow the routine is "The Legend of White Snake".

Either they use Li Lienjie to promote it, or they take some publicity photos of the "snake monsters" making fun of themselves, focusing on one passion.

The pressure of "Revolution of [-]" was the greatest.

The General Administration set a goal of 10 billion for gift films, and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" received more than 4 million. If "Revolution of 3" does not receive 4 million to 10 million, relying on other gift films to make up the number, [-] billion is estimated to be very high.

On the day of Harper's Bazaar, Liu Yifei was wearing a smart suit, which looked quite heroic.

"Not wearing a dress?" Li Mu asked subconsciously.

"If I'm accompanying you, I'll wear a dress. There's no need for me to go alone. I'm not going to walk on the red carpet."

Liu Yifei is still wearing sparkling earrings.

"There are a lot of people going this time, so don't be overpowered by others."

Li Mu knew that Bazaar had invited many people this time, and the ceremony was very grand.

"Hehe, then it depends on them."

"."

Mengying Media, in Li Mu’s office.

Liu Hongtao put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "I didn't expect, Director Li, that we have met again in just a few days."

He really didn't expect that Mengying would contact him a few days ago and also wanted to invest in 'Happy Twist'.

Although 'Happy Twist' is now on the right track, Liu Hongtao has a long-term plan. Just doing a drama is not enough, but the time is not yet ripe, so he plans to take it slow and steady first.

But everything seems to have turned around, and perhaps 'Happy Twist' can move faster.

"To be honest, Mr. Liu, I have also watched the drama 'Happy Twist'. I am optimistic about this business, but it is a pity to only stay in the drama field."

When Liu Hongtao heard Li Mu's words, he looked a little excited, which coincided with his thoughts.

"Director Li, you are absolutely right, but given the current situation and resources, we really don't dare to take too big a step all at once, for fear of breaking the bank."

The two smiled in unison.

"Mr. Liu, you also know Mengying's main business. Film and television have always been Mengying's strength. Mengying can help 'Happy Twist' transition from drama to film and television. Starting next year, it can first produce online dramas. The first movie will be launched within the year, and how much equity can be given to Mengying in 'Happy Twist'."

"Mr. Liu is also very aware of the limitations of dramas. A hit like "The Count of Wulong Mountain", although the venues are full, is limited by time and space constraints. It is the pinnacle of dramas if it can exceed [-] million in box office. And the time must be extended to at least ten years. Am I right, Mr. Liu?"

Liu Hongtao smiled coquettishly and said: "Director Li, I can't even imagine a box office of over [-] million."

The drama has exceeded [-] million at the box office, which is too scary. Although "The Count of Wulong Mountain" is now popular in the industry, he does not dare to expect this record.

Liu Hongtao is still thinking about the advice given by Li Mu. Film and television is his most exciting point. It is difficult for a drama to break [-] million box office, but it is much easier for a movie to break [-] million box office.

"Director Li, I had already thought about it before I came here. Even if 'Happy Twist' is later turned into a film and TV show, it will still need to find companies in the film and television industry to cooperate. It is better to join forces with Mengying Media and take the equity of 'Happy Twist' I’m willing to give up 25%.”

Liu Hongtao is also well aware that the water in the film and television industry is very deep. If he rashly cooperates with others, he might be tricked by others. This kind of thing happens every year, and he has heard about it to some extent.

Mengying Media is the leading private enterprise in the film and television industry and has a good reputation. Cooperating with Mengying Media saves worry and effort, which is a good deal.

25%, Li Mu thought about it, and it was about the same. Liu Hongtao would not be willing to give up any more.

"Pleasant to work with."

The two came to an agreement on this.

"Director Li, please give more advice to the 'Happy Twist' drama troupe in the future."

Liu Hongtao smiled broadly, he was very satisfied with the result.

"It's easy. Let's have dinner together. We've come all the way and I'll be the host."

"Hahaha, good"

After the agreement is reached, the professional team will be responsible for the rest, and Li Mu will be responsible for signing.

Li Mu also took the time to watch Zhalang's Harper's Bazaar live broadcast, an event organized by Zhalang and Bazaar.

At this moment, Cao Guowei called.

"Director Li, this is your problem. After all, it is an event jointly held by Weibo and Bazaar. I just met Yifei and I realized that you are unable to participate because of something."

"Hahaha, I really have something to do this time. Next time, I will definitely participate next time."

Cao Guowei smiled and said: "Then I will remember it."

At this time, at the Imperial Park Hyatt Hotel, the Bazaar Charity Night has also begun.

On the red carpet, celebrities from the business, entertainment and cultural circles appeared one after another. "There are quite a lot of people."

Liu Yifei arrived and couldn't help but murmured when she saw this grand scene.

As soon as we entered the hall, there was a huge crowd.

As Liu Yifei entered the stage, there was an endless stream of greetings and greetings.

Many people came, including Cheng Long, Zhang Ziyi, Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Yang Mi, Zhou Dongyu, Liu Shisi.
"Senior Sister Yifei." Jingtian sat near the aisle and greeted softly.

"Tiantian, your dress is so beautiful."

At this time, she was wearing a light blue dress and looked dazzling.

Jingtian couldn't help but feel a little envious: "No, Senior Sister Yifei looks so cool like this."

"Yifei, sit over here." Huang Bo suddenly came over and shouted.

Zhou Xun quickly took the lead and hit Huang Bo: "Come on, where is your place suitable for Yifei to sit? Come to my table."

After saying that, she directly pulled Liu Yifei to sit at her table.

Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin and others were all a little disappointed. They still wanted Liu Yifei to sit with them, maybe they could communicate more and have some friendship.

And recently, the news that Mengying has joined forces with several major companies and is preparing to make a big production has spread in the industry. Unfortunately, no other gossip has come out. Liu Yifei must know about it. If you can know something from her, you can also do something in advance. Prepare.

"Hey, Brother Long, are you planning to rob someone? Yifei is sitting at this table." When Zhou Xun saw Cheng Long coming, he immediately acted like a protector.

Liu Yifei was the only one at her table who could chat with her.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking if Yi Fei and Director Li are free to attend the premiere of "Revolution of [-]." Cheng Long smiled helplessly.

"We have received the invitation and will attend on time that day."

Cheng Long of "Those Years" even came to support you. You can't just refuse someone else's invitation.

After receiving a positive reply, Cheng Long returned to his seat with satisfaction.

"Strange, why didn't Director Li come with you this time?"

"He has something going on today."

Zhou Xun complained: "I really don't know how to show mercy to women."

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei also came.

"Brother, are the news in the circle true or false?"

"Nine times out of ten it's true." Wang Zhongjun understood after a moment's thought that it was impossible for a group of people to go there for a party.

Although Huayi was not brought with him, the king and the king didn't care at this time.

Because they have now focused on other industries. Since its listing, Wang Zhongjun has become more and more interested in "de-filming".

The theme park in Suzhou plans to invest 30 billion, and the Cultural City in Shanghai has also invested billions. The scale of capital operation of these projects has far exceeded its investment in the film and television industry.

As a listed company, Huayi Brothers' revenue in the first half of 2011 was only 3.31 million yuan.

At this time, Wang Zhongjun only wanted to rely on capital to borrow chickens to lay eggs.
Wang Changtian was at another table, watching the big and small Wang brothers whispering, not caring. Everyone in the circle knew about Huayi's recent actions.

He couldn't understand how a film and television company wanted to "de-film". Anyway, Guangguang should just continue to work in its own industry step by step.

Bazaar's auction has begun.

Jingtian spent 50 to win Dior's handbag.

Originally, Liu Shisi and Yang Mi were competing for this handbag, as if their grievances and hatreds were all involved in the auction.

But in the end it was Jingtian who won the prize. After all, it wouldn’t be worth it if the price went up.

Cheng Long took action frequently again
"Why don't you take pictures?" Zhou Xun asked.

At this point the auction is more than halfway over.

“I don’t see anything I like, please donate later.”

"Well, I guess so."

After the auction, donations started, and the Bazaar Night was over.

But everyone has not dispersed yet, so this is a good opportunity for communication.

Unexpectedly, a text message came from Liu Yifei's mobile phone. After reading the message, Liu Yifei suddenly smiled.

"I'm leaving first. Someone is here to pick me up." Liu Yifei waved to Zhou Xun and immediately planned to leave.

Zhou Xun didn't try to persuade her to stay, after all, her boyfriend had come to pick her up.

This caused many people who had planned to come over to communicate to lose the opportunity in an instant. Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei left in a hurry as soon as it was over.

After Liu Yifei got in the car, she said happily: "Why did you think of picking me up?"

"I just finished eating with Mr. Liu, so I stopped by."

"Have we talked about it?"

"Well, Mengying will also be a shareholder of 'Happy Twist' from now on. You don't need to brush your face when you go to the drama in the future."

"Hehe, then I will go often."

"."

The next day, six major companies jointly announced that they would invest US$1 million in the sci-fi blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow", led by Mengying and directed by Li Mu, which has been in preparation for half a year and will be launched next year.

As soon as the news came out, people in the industry were immediately itchy, because this time it will not be a Sino-US co-production, but a domestic production.

This means that there will be many actor slots available.

"The opportunity finally came!"

"Li Mu's science fiction film will definitely compete for it."

The actors each have their own thoughts.

Netizens don't care about this. They just watch the movie. They can't wait to start shooting immediately. The filming will be completed in one month and it will be released during the Spring Festival in two months.

"We have to wait for so long, and we almost have no more movies to watch."

"If someone else were to make a science fiction film produced nationwide, I would still hesitate, but as for Li Mu, I just want it to be released as soon as possible."

"'Edge of Tomorrow', the name is very science fiction, what is the story about?"

"It will take half a year to prepare a science fiction film, with an investment of 1 million US dollars. It seems to be a big scene, and it is worth looking forward to."

"As long as Liu Yifei doesn't act, I think you can fight for the female lead." Zeng Jia looked at the discussion information in the circle and suggested to Yang Mi.

"She probably can't act."

Yang Mi felt that she would not be so unlucky. She had just become famous and was competing for a role when she met Liu Yifei.

Not only Yang Mi, but also Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Liu Shisi, Zhang Ziyi and others are waiting for the role list.

However, some people are a little bit inflated after looking at the production cost. After all, it is said to be [-] million US dollars.
Subsequently, Mengying Media announced the starring list.

Actor: Li Mu.

Actress: Liu Yifei.

The remaining roles are yet to be determined.

"It's so funny, how sad it is when this is announced."

Shu Chang looked at the news on Mengying's official website and smiled unkindly.

Recently, there are various groups in the industry, and news is flying all over the place, but they all come from the role of male and female protagonists.

As a result, the male and female protagonists were decided, and there was no way for anyone to refute the decision.
