Chapter 295 Reminder
The proceeds from this charity gala will be invested in two charity projects:

That is, the "Treatment Project for Poor Children with Serious Sickness" and the "Education Assistance Action for Poor Students" help poor families regain hope.

This New Year's Charity Gala has received strong support from colleagues in the film industry on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places as well as from all walks of life.

Cheng Long, Huang Xiaoming, Jing Tian, ​​Sun Nan, Jingwei, Joey Yung, Xiong Dailin and other hundreds of movie stars and many entrepreneurs will be present to perform charitable acts.

"I really don't want to go." Li Mu asked again and again.

Liu Yifei shook her head and said with a smile:

"It's too much trouble to go there once. You have to change into a dress and you have to be hungry to eat. I was the one who went to Bazaar last time. You can go this time."

Shu Chang, on the other hand, looked serious and said nothing, and nodded, expressing his agreement.

"Ok."

Li Mu pursed his lips, didn't he just want to watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the reason seemed quite reasonable.

In this 76-episode TV series, these women really follow them whenever they have time.
The Pangu Seven Star Hotel was packed with people, and the entire dinner was recorded and will be broadcast at the end of December.

Li Mu said hello all the way, and when he walked to the front row, he felt that the atmosphere on the left and right sides of the two tables in front seemed a bit solemn.

It seems that everyone is laughing, but there is an undercurrent.

In the front row are the major production companies, and the solemn atmosphere is naturally the producers of these two Lunar New Year movies.

Zhang Weiping and Yu Dong were not at the same table, but they happened to be at the next table. After all, those were the heads of the production company.

Yu Dong came with Xu Hark, while Zhang Weiping came alone. Zhang Yimou did not show up.

"It seems that a conflict has arisen."

Many heads of production companies in the industry are looking forward to it. Now there are rumors in the industry that Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping are already having conflicts.

After all, if Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping "break up", it will be good news for them. Whoever can recruit Zhang Yimou will definitely become a new rising force.

Li Mu was about to look at the names on the table when he saw Han Sanping waving his hand.

It was good luck not to be at the same table as Zhang Weiping. It seemed that the organizer also knew how to make arrangements.

Li Mu glanced at the people at this table. Director Ming Zhenjiang and deputy director Ma Weigan of Bayi Film Studio were all there, as well as senior party officials Jiao Hongfen from China Film and Television, Wang Zhongjun from Huayi and others.
Including Li Mu, there are exactly six people.

"Director Li, you came prepared."

Ming Zhenjiang smiled lightly and saw the document bag in Li Mu's hand. It was obvious that this was the donation.

"Director Ming, compared to the August [-]st donation, this is nothing."

Li Mu modestly said that this time Bayi brought the most precious "treasure of the factory" - a spacesuit that cost millions to make according to the same proportions of a real spacesuit. This spacesuit is of extraordinary significance.
Big money.

However, after taking a look at the people who came and the officials who called for the event, Li Mu also understood that he couldn't spare any effort when it was time to put in effort.

"Hahaha"

Ming Zhenjiang is also a little proud. After all, this "treasure of the factory" this time is quite impressive. Even though it only cost millions, the auction can be much more than that.

"Director Li, Bayi is also strong enough. Next time Mengying has a good movie, he can work with us."

Ming Zhenjiang is also outspoken. He is also a little envious of the "Edge of Tomorrow" collaboration between Golden Shield and Mengying. After all, they and Golden Shield are different from other production companies, and the film and television works they can participate in are limited.

Li Mu didn't do Tai Chi either: "Director Ming, we definitely have opportunities to cooperate."

"Hahaha, I just like Director Li who is so direct."

Ming Zhenjiang was very happy. Although he didn't know when there would be an opportunity for cooperation, at least the reply was affirmative.

Han Sanping's eyes lit up and he silently remembered it in his heart.

Wang Zhongjun was also chatting with Li Mu and Han Sanping, but he actually didn't care that much about the movie anymore.

This year, Huayi's film revenue only accounted for 22.75%, the lowest proportion among film-centered production companies. Revenues outside its main business, such as live-action entertainment, games and online businesses, continue to grow.

Donations from major companies are valuable.

China Film Group donated the treasured sacred object "Five Directions and Five Buddhas" from the film "New Shaolin Temple".

Huayi Brothers donated a calligraphy book co-written by director Tsui Hark and Andy Lau, from the previously produced film "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven".

Mengying Media donated the remaining manuscripts of "2012".

Cheng Long's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he showed great interest:
"Director Li, finally released all the manuscripts."

"Then it depends on Brother Long's abilities."

Li Mu smiled.

Everyone else also knew that Cheng Long had some of the manuscripts in his hand. If he could take pictures and collect them all, they would be complete.

Jingtian's eyes were slightly dim. In fact, she also wanted to take pictures of the "2012" manuscript later, but if Cheng Long wanted to fight, she would basically have no chance.

Huang Xiaoming's "Leaping Heart" is the first song of tonight's charity gala. After the performances of all the major programs, it is time for the final auction and donation.

The next day, a press release for the recorded party was sent out. "Believe in Love·2012 Premiere New Year Charity Gala" will be broadcast on the movie channel prime time on December 12th"

"How was yesterday?"

After Liu Yifei woke up, she picked up her phone and saw the news, and asked curiously, with her jade arms still outside the quilt.

Only the parties involved knew about the dinner, but everyone involved would not talk about it.

"What else can I do? It's just a charity party. The top prize is the August [-]st spacesuit, and then my manuscript comes."

Li Mu opened his eyes drowsily, but didn't want to get up. He yawned, then turned around and continued to sleep.

She was a little tired last night, but Liu Yifei's face was red and she looked energetic.

Although "Jinling" has always been ahead of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", the gap cannot be widened, and the average daily box office has always stayed at more than 3000 million, and it is expected to occasionally exceed 4000 million on weekends.

But this is obviously hopeless. Zhang Weiping must have unrealistic expectations to recover the cost domestically. Now it depends on the performance of No. 10 in North America.

Zhang Weiping was a little anxious at this time. He had to know that this movie was the exclusive investment of New Picture, or it was his loan money.

"You can't sit still."

Zhang Weiping also had a small card in his hand, and he planned to kill two birds with one stone this time.

He had clearly felt that Zhang Yimou seemed to want to leave him.

The news came out the next day.

New Picture Pictures, the producer of "The Beautiful Girl," revealed that the film's North American distribution company submitted all the individual awards the film will compete for to the 84th Academy Awards jury, a total of 13 awards.

"Hollywood studios suggested that I prepare for half a year before launching "Thirteen Hairpins" on a large scale in North America. According to Hollywood regulations, the distributor needs half a year to prepare for the film's release, but I rejected this suggestion.

Maybe they have a point, but I still want to play my cards my own way. "Thirteen Hairpins" is on the North American Christmas schedule, which is the first time for a domestic film.

In addition, the purpose of releasing films during the Christmas season in North America is mainly to meet the application requirements for individual Oscars, just like our domestic Olympic bid screenings.

No matter what the result is, as long as it can provide Yi, Liu Heng, Yan Geling, Zhao Xiaoding, and Ni Ni with an opportunity to participate in the competition, it will be worth it."

This is both propaganda and sensationalism, and it really seems like that. In order to win an award for Zhang Yimou, he sacrificed his business
But at this time, Li Mu and Zhang Yi were negotiating in the tea room of a certain tea house.

Zhang Yimou also saw this report at this time, but still shook his head and said lightly:

“I will never make movies that I don’t want to make or that I’m forced to make again.”

Li Mu knew that the conflict between Zhang Yi and Zhang Weiping was irreconcilable at this time. The various accumulations in the past and the fuse of "Thirteen Hairpins"
"Senior brother, have you found a new home? I went to a charity dinner a few days ago and many production companies had ideas."

Li Mu laughed and said that many production companies wanted Zhang Yimou. They only knew that Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou were in conflict, but it was not clear at this time how deep the conflict was.

If they knew that Zhang Yi was determined to leave the new scene, all of his eyes would light up.

As for Mengying Media, Li Mu didn’t mention it, and neither did Zhang Yimou.

Both of them knew that it was not a good fit. Now that Mengying Media has taken the lead in the film industry, if there is another Zhang Yi, then there will be no peace in the industry.

There are too many people who are afraid of it.

"Lets see."

Zhang Yimou was not in a hurry, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I probably won't go to the Golden Globe Awards this time. I wish you a big win in advance."

"That's a pity."

"There is hope of winning an award, but not very big." Zhang Yimou smiled, "I am actually quite satisfied with the movie. It is a story I wanted to shoot, although some people and scenes were not what I wanted."

Li Mu understood who Zhang Yimou was talking about and smiled:

"I'm afraid the box office won't satisfy Zhang Weiping."

Now you can tell by looking at Zhang Weiping's various actions that he is impatient and eager to get back his money.

"Actually, if it can be staggered with "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", the box office may be much higher, which is indeed a pity."

Zhang Yimou also knew very well that when these two tigers competed, both sides would lose.

Both movies struggled to get off the ground and were evenly matched at the box office, but they also consumed the audience's consumption potential.

"Senior brother, there are some things that need to be prepared for a rainy day. You also know Zhang Weiping's style of doing things. He is completely reckless and you are too important to him."

In fact, Zhang Yi is Zhang Weiping's cash machine. All these years have been empty handed. The director's salary is low, and he doesn't even get paid. He can delay it as much as possible.
“It never hurts to be prepared in advance.”

Zhang Yimou's eyes were rare and serious. Li Mu's words obviously reminded him of something, and Zhang Weiping was indeed an unscrupulous person.

It can be seen from the short composition he wrote during promotion: "Bell and I performed a 'sex scene'".

"I understand."

Zhang Yimou nodded, thinking of getting together and relaxing, but Li Mu's reminder made him defensive.
