Chapter 286 He betrayed our alliance

Zeng Jia also helped Yang Mi win this role at this time.

But the feedback from Colombia discouraged her.

"No chance, they have already chosen a candidate." Zeng Jia said helplessly.

"You guessed it, they chose Liu Yifei right away. I'm afraid they need an actress with international reputation. Now I have a black eye abroad."

"I'm going to film Director Chen's "Search" in a few days. Let's catch up on the progress here."

"Ah."

In Li Binbin's studio, Li Xue looked happy at this time, because Colombia had already replied that Li Binbin was one of their initial candidates.

"Sister, you are shortlisted."

Li Xue then added: "But I just received rumors that the preliminary candidates are: you, Fan Binbin, Shu Qi, Tang Wei and Zhang Ziyi. The competition is a bit fierce."

Li Binbin smiled bitterly:
"I'm afraid they chose people for their international reputation."

This selection is too obvious.

"It's normal. After all, we have to take into account the global market. No wonder others first chose Liu Yifei. Her international reputation is much better than others. Fortunately, she refused, otherwise the others behind would not have their turn."

"."

Li Mu looked at the news in the circle, and he estimated that all of the five candidates initially selected by Colombia would be unsuccessful.
This year's film selection for the Olympics has also been decided, and Zhang Yi's "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has been selected.

Many people in the circle gave their blessings and hoped that Zhang Yimou would succeed in the Olympics.

"Mr. Li, on behalf of the UAM Alliance, Mr. Zheng Yongbeom, the president of StarJ Korea, would like to meet with you. The UMA Alliance information has been sent to your email."

Lu Yu called Li Mu. She had just received the invitation from StarJ. After collecting the information, she hurriedly confirmed it with Li Mu.

"Okay, I'll reply to your message later."

Li Mu hung up the phone.

"Korea StarJ Company"

Li Mu murmured to himself.

Liu Yifei on the side was a little confused: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this company?"

"No, please hand me the computer."

Liu Yifei kicked off her slippers, ran quickly and handed the laptop to Li Mu.

Quickly opening his mailbox, Li Mu took a look at the information about the UMA alliance sent by Lu Yu.

"UAM" is the abbreviation of United Asia Management.

It is jointly formed by South Korea's six top brokerage companies SM, KeyEast, AM Entertainment, StarJ, YG, and JYPE.

After the establishment of UAM, the number of artists under its umbrella exceeded 150, accounting for half of the Korean artist management power.

These include Jang Dong Gun, Hyun Bin, Bae Yong Joon, Super Junior, TVXQ, BoA, Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls and other popular Korean artists.

“So many artists”

Liu Yifei accompanied Li Mu and took a look at the information sent by Lu Yu. The back was full of information about various popular artists.

"For the Korean people, the best way to change their destiny is to become an artist, because there are almost no opportunities for young people to make a comeback."

Li Mu closed his laptop and smiled lightly.

This is not a blessing, but a tragedy.

"Do you want to see me then?"

"I've come a long way to meet you."

"."

The next day, Mengying Media.

Li Mu met Zheng Yongfan, the president of StarJ Company and the first representative of the UMA Alliance, in the conference room. There were also several accompanying people, probably assistants and translators.

"President Li."

Zheng Yongfan shook hands with Li Mu with a smile on his face.

Li Mu was stunned by the words of the translator, but then he realized that it was normal to address the president in Korea after all.

Li Mu didn't hesitate about the title. The two exchanged a few polite words and then got down to the final topic.

Zheng Yongfan introduced the UMA alliance to Li Mu, fearing that Li Mu would not know their strength, and then said slowly:

"After UAM is established, it will integrate its artist management and film and television project resources, share them within the company and jointly expand international cooperation."

Then he looked at Li Mu: "UAM hopes to expand the Asian market. On this basis, we first focus on China. We hope to strategically cooperate with Mengying Media."

Li Mu chuckled and asked, "Strategic cooperation?"

"Yes, we hope to share the best film and television projects and artist resources from China and South Korea, and establish smooth information communication channels to jointly explore the feasibility of development.
I believe that in the future, outstanding Chinese artists can enter the mainstream Korean market and develop, and at the same time, many outstanding Korean artists will join China's film and television projects. "

Li Mu seemed to know what their plan was. This group of people had really good vision, and they were about to catch up with the honeymoon period between China and South Korea. To be honest, they planned to let Korean artists come to China to make money.

"Mr. Zheng Yongfan, the vision you mentioned is very beautiful."

This sentence instantly made the confident Zheng Yongfan look a little serious, because Li Mu said the word vision, which was not a good sign.

"But the resources you can provide are not equivalent to the resources Mengying Media has. Let me use an analogy, and you don't mind. Mengying Media has China's and even the world's first-class film and television resources, but you have no equal. Artist resources.”

Li Mu ignored Zheng Yongfan's unhappy expression and continued: "China also has a ticket bank that can rival or even surpass Hollywood in the future, but South Korea does not."

What kind of future does South Korea have with such a large area and population? It also allows outstanding Chinese artists to enter the mainstream Korean market and develop. Those who go to South Korea to develop have to come back after a year or two.

"Maybe you can watch the performances of 'Girls' Generation' and 'WonderGirls' and maybe you can change things."

Zheng Yongfan is still fighting hard. After all, cooperation with Mengying Media is the key to opening up the world market.

"Hehe, there's no need for that."

Li Mu refused and actually wanted to use sex to seduce him. This Sun Tzu didn't know much about the art of war.
Zheng Yongfan's face was ashen, but he couldn't get angry. After all, Mengying was much stronger than him. Although the agency alliance had artist resources, it had no film and television resources, so it was in vain.

Zheng Yongfan finally reluctantly greeted Li Mu with a smile and left in a hurry.

Not long after Zheng Yongfan left, Wang Changtian called: "Director Li, did you refuse?"

"Mr. Wang, your news is too fast."

Zheng Yongfan had just left, and the car probably hadn't even passed a few traffic lights. These people had gotten the news.
"Hey, what do you think I am from? It's just that the reporters outside took pictures of Zheng Yongfan's livid face, and they knew at a glance that there was no deal."

It is no secret that Zheng Yongfan came to China. Everyone knew that he was looking for cooperation, but the first one he went to was Mengying. It seemed that he had a big goal.

"I guess he will cast a wider net next, and I don't know which company is willing to cooperate with him."

Wang Changtian laughed loudly:
"Director Li, you are very skilled at knocking him down. The light doesn't mean that. You can at most treat him to a meal."

"Mr. Wang is so generous to invite you to dinner." "That's not like you don't even leave food for others to eat."

"That means I don't want to stay?"

"Hahaha"

A few days later, news came out. Zheng Yongfan seemed to have successfully negotiated with Huayi Brothers, and it was very likely to reach a strategic cooperation.
The honeymoon between China and South Korea is caused from top to bottom. No one can stop this. In the next few years, the film and television industry will soon usher in the invasion of various co-productions from China and South Korea as well as the invasion of Korean artists.
The nominations for this year’s Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival have also been announced.

Several big directors have a tacit understanding and don't sign up to participate anyway. However, although Feng Xiaogang hates golden roosters, he will still take it every time, but people won't know until they arrive.
This time, the overwhelming number of nominations for "Tangren Earthquake" made it the favorite to win the award, and it was unparalleled in the limelight for a time.

Jiang Wen cursed: "He betrayed our alliance."

Li Mu was stunned when he heard this. Why didn't I know when we formed an alliance?

"No one is going to sign up, he's just coveting those few awards, that's all."

Jiang Wen was very disdainful.

Li Mu, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen and others are not included in the nominations.

Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" was still the champion of domestic films last year and was well received and a box office success.

Li Mu was a little speechless. You even won an international award. Feng Xiaogang lived on a few domestic awards. It’s true that a man who is full does not know what he is hungry for.
"It seems that the organizing committee plans to use Feng Xiaogang to break the ice."

"What the hell, if the rules don't change, I won't take it to compete for a day."

"Okay, remember what you said today."

Li Mu yawned and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers did not produce any more double-yolked eggs this time. I thought it would be normal, but this year ended with a noble attitude.

The award-winning films have either not yet been released nationwide, or have not been seen by many people since their release. Their high-pitched and low-key performances fully demonstrate the "professionalism" of the Golden Rooster Expert Award.

Each award became more popular than the last. The first award for Best Supporting Actor and Actor was awarded, and some viewers already asked on Weibo what kind of movie "Shocking Sands" is?Whose national anthem is it?

Later, when the awards for Best Screenwriter, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Feature Film were presented, the booing in the backstage press room became even louder.

The award-winning films "Sui Sui Qing Ming" and "Eji" were both films that could hardly be seen in theaters after their release. "Love in the Covered Bridge" has not been released at all.

Although many people know about "Flying", it is all thanks to the news of "stealing the box office".

"Fortunately I didn't go, otherwise I would have been laughed to death."

Feng Xiaogang suddenly felt a little lucky. On the opening day, it was announced that the filming of his new film "Reviewing the Past 1942" would start in the imperial capital, so he simply didn't go there.

This was an accident. Who would have thought that "Tangshan Earthquake", which had the most nominations, would win two side prizes such as Best Art and Best Music.
Netizens stood up and spoke one after another.

"The Best Actor is an unpopular one, the Best Actress is an unpopular one, the Best Director is an unpopular one... almost all of them are unpopular, and the Golden Rooster Award is considered unpopular this time!"

“Is the expert’s judgment vision ahead of the public aesthetics of the era? Or is it lagging behind?”

Some filmmakers commented on Weibo that "the Golden Rooster Award has become the largest underground film award in China" and "I have never seen any of the films that won the award. It is really unprofessional."

"I can't understand this award at all. Zhao Yanzi seems to be a little dumbfounded."

Liu Yifei looked at Zhao Yanzi's forced smile and shuddered. It's not easy to be an image spokesperson.

"This is the virtue of the Golden Rooster."

Li Mu didn't want to see it. It was like this every year. It was either this guy or that guy. There was no one that could be a little bit normal.

Li Mu had some doubts about what these people were thinking.

late October.

The "China 3D Stereoscopic Film Creation New Energy Plan" jointly launched by the China 3D Stereoscopic Film and Television Industry Alliance, the China Film Distribution and Exhibition Association, and the Key Laboratory of Audio and Video Media of the Ministry of Education of China University of Communication was officially launched.

The launch press conference was held in the Zhongchuan Auditorium.

"Turn around and show me."

Liu Yifei stepped forward to tidy up Li Mu's suit and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go."

In the auditorium of Zhongchuan, there were students from all major art schools, but the majority were from Zhongchuan.

"The chief consultant is still our Reverend Li from Nortel. How can it be held in a medium-sized channel?"

The people at Nortel were very dissatisfied.

The person next to me pointed to the sea at the door and reported:

"Come on, just look at the co-organizers and you will know that they will definitely allow their own schools."

"Keep your voice down, there's someone else's school."

"Director Li, Director Xu, let me introduce you."

In the backstage conference room, Liu Shuaichen, vice chairman and secretary-general of the 3D Stereoscopic Film and Television Industry Alliance, also introduced everyone who participated in today's press conference to Li Mu and Tsui Hark.

After a round of introductions, Li Mu didn't remember a few names, but he really remembered a lot of titles.

President, dean, chairman
The dean of the Art Academy of Zhongchuan was smiling all over his face, chatting with Li Mu and Tsui Hark about the movie.

"Director Li, Director Xu, are you interested in joining us?"

Li Mu smiled and said:

"Zhongyuan, if I register my name in advance, Sunyuan may not let me go back to school tomorrow."

"That's an exaggeration. It's an exaggeration. Every time your Sun Hospital has a meeting, as long as the movie is discussed, your name will be mentioned several times. You are already registered with him."

Zhong Chengxiang suddenly remembered that when Li Mu had not graduated, there were meetings in major colleges and universities, especially meetings to report teaching performance. Nortel was so annoying that it made them sore that they had toothaches and there was nothing they could do.

Fortunately, since Li Mu graduated, Nortel has not produced any particularly outstanding newcomers in the past two years, so things have calmed down for a while.

"Ha ha."

Li Mu looked careless and quickly prepared to change the topic.

After a few people chatted for a while, the press conference was ready to begin.

"The organizing committee of the 'China 3D Stereoscopic Film Creation New Energy Plan' will organize international and domestic 3D stereoscopic film experts to conduct 3D stereoscopic film technology training for the winning candidates, guide 3D stereoscopic film internship operations, plan and select outstanding 3D stereoscopic film projects, and carry out 3D stereoscopic film fund raising to support young creators to participate in 3D stereoscopic film shooting and subsequent dissemination and promotion."

"Now I would like to invite Director Li Mu, chief consultant of China's 3D [-]D Film Creation New Energy Plan, to speak."

Reporters are already pressing the shutter button frantically.

The audience burst into warm applause.

Nortel students were even more excited.

"I also want to join the project. Brother Pastor Li will be the chief consultant. This is so valuable. This project really knows how to choose consultants. They chose the two most professional ones at once."

"Brother Pastor Li guides the practical operation of 3D stereoscopic movies. Is there such a good thing?"

"I think too much. Do you know what a consultant is? Pastor Li is definitely not the one to do the actual teaching, so how busy is he?"
