China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 552: Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking at night in brocade clothes!
""The Return of the Great Sage" is written as 'domestic pride', and the director of the Film Bureau sent congratulations to Mengying Media"

During the summer vacation, "The Return of the Monkey King" dominates the show.

This seems to represent a new milestone era for Chinese animated films.

Many people even sent congratulations to Mengying Media, the project producer of "The Return of the Great Sage", which was also very interesting for the film bureau.

Tian Xiaopeng naturally became a favorite. Li Mu received many invitations, hoping to invite Tian Xiaopeng to share his experience.

At this moment, Nortel is also taking action.

"Hey, Sun Yuan!"

Li Mu picked up the phone and when he saw the name displayed on the phone, he knew what the other party was planning.

"Me? I won't go. To be honest, my understanding of this field of animation is really half-baked. I have already drained all the water in the last lecture. So, let me ask Director Tian for his opinion. , will reply to you later.”

"What? A visiting professor at the School of Animation?"

"Director Tian, ​​how are you? I must have received a lot of calls recently."

But he is not a saint, so it doesn’t hurt to be influenced by worldly fame and fortune, so that’s fine!
"Ahem, this is all for later, let's talk about it later."

"Sure enough, I just don't have enough chips!"

"Hey, run, see where you can go!"

Li Mu suddenly found that he hesitated on this proposal.

Liu Yifei smiled so hard that she couldn't breathe, "Don't Sun Academy plan to let you serve as visiting professors in their college? It won't be considered a coolie."

"Director Li, I'll take it, and by the way, I can take "The Return of the Great Sage" to the campus to promote it."

Liu Yifei heard the conversation just now.

Liu Yifei was wearing shorts, her slender white legs were pressing on Li Mu's thigh, and she was reading a book with a smile on her lips.

"."

Mengying Media.

"Isn't that right? Where can we find free and excellent coolies like us?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, and then asked, "Then if I ask you to be the honorary dean, will you agree?"

As a director, after the box office success of his first work, whether it is praise from others, adulation from the outside world, or his own inner joy, it is always so intoxicating.

"goose"

"Why, Sun Yuan has come up with the idea of ​​letting you teach again?"

"Just kidding"

Liu Yifei smiled charmingly, put down the book in her hand, and bent one foot in a rather seductive manner.

"Hey, Director Li, you are indeed someone who has been here before."

When Li Mu saw Tian Xiaopeng's happy face, he probably knew what was going on.

Tian Xiaopeng accepted it without any hesitation.

Li Mu sighed in his heart, there is really no way for people to avoid vulgarity.

Li Mu has received invitations from many universities at home and abroad, but for the time being, Li Mu has no plans to do so.

"No! Sun Yuan wants to go to the School of Animation. If I agree, then the dean of our school will probably get upset. I haven't even agreed yet."

"."

Li Mu was not surprised when he heard this. After all, if one does not return to his hometown when he is rich and powerful, it is like walking in the night in fine clothes!
When I was in school, there would always be a teacher or principal who said something like this in a meeting or lecture: Today you are proud of your alma mater, and tomorrow your alma mater is proud of you!

"Fairy!"

Tian Xiaopeng smiled and said, there is nothing to hide, success is indeed worth being happy about.

Li Mu coughed lightly.

"There is no set time, it depends on the time that suits you."

"I look forward to the day when I call you Li Yuan."

Little Chengzi raised his head and saw his two gastroenterologists fighting, and then he lay down on the ground out of boredom. This kind of scene would happen from time to time anyway, and he was used to it.

Li Mu made a mocking comment.

Li Mu shook his head quickly. He didn't have that much time to hold these honorary positions now. These were both honors and responsibilities, and required him to make reports or hold lectures from time to time.

Tian Xiaopeng and Liu Weijuan are all here.

"Nortel's Animation School wants to invite you to give a lecture. Are you interested?"

However, the blushing voice did not sound in the villa because Li Mu had something to do in the afternoon.

"Director Li, when will it be?" Tian Xiaopeng hesitated, "I just agreed to the invitation from my alma mater yesterday."

"."

Obviously, those who have connections are easy to use. Some leaders of Nortel called Li Mu directly.

Seeing Liu Yifei's look, Li Mu rushed over directly. As a result, Liu Yifei got up from the sofa as prepared, put on her pink slippers, and the sound of tapping shoes rang out in the hall.

"Okay, let's get back to business. As promised before, after the screening of "The Return of the Great Sage", the animation department will be independent. Mr. Liu has already made arrangements. Let's set a date and get ready for the 'opening'!"

The animation department will establish a new company, which was decided before and the company has been registered, Tiangong Animation.
"Congratulations, Mr. Tian! Mr. Tian will decide the time."

Liu Weijuan chuckled and congratulated.

"Well, Director Tian, ​​you decide, so I can call a few people over in advance. "The Return of the Great Sage" has also set a record. The 'opening' of a new company cannot be so low-key, otherwise others will think that we are going bankrupt." Look!" Li Mu joked.

Several people laughed.

"Let's take July 7th. "The Return of the Great Sage" will definitely have a box office of over 30 billion by this time. It just so happens that the celebration banquet and the opening will be held at the same time."

After Tian Xiaopeng thought for a while, he gave an accurate date.

"Okay, that's it, let's make a plan."

Li Mu nodded and decided to call someone at a time.

Although it is just a simple ceremony, the sense of ritual is still necessary.

Nowadays, Mengying Media is not an inconspicuous company when it was first founded. As an independent animation company from Mengying Media, it is natural that it cannot be less prominent.

In the evening, Liu Yifei suddenly wanted to eat duck blood vermicelli soup and fried buns, but she didn't want to go out to eat. In the end, Li Mu packed two portions on the way back.

"Why do you like eating all kinds of snacks so much?"

In the villa, when she heard Li Mu coming back, Liu Yifei ran out in a hurry and took two portions of duck blood vermicelli soup from Li Mu.

"I just want to eat."

Liu Yifei showed a satisfied smile, but also a little puzzled, "I don't know why, but I seem to have eaten more recently."

"Hasn't it always been this big?"

Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei in shock, "Don't you know how much you eat?"

"Hate!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but hit Li Mu's chest twice with her little hand.

When she got to the living room, Liu Yifei couldn't help but unpack the bag, and eagerly asked Li Mu to come and eat.

Food needs to be eaten by many people together to make it feel better and more fragrant.

With a squeaking sound, Liu Yifei took a mouthful of powder with satisfaction, "It's delicious!"

Then he took another bite of the fried bun, and two drops of juice flowed near his mouth, and his bulging cheeks looked like steamed buns.

Liu Yifei gently wiped the juice around her mouth with her hand and found that Li Mu was looking at her and said vaguely, "Why are you looking at me."

"nothing!"

Li Mu couldn't help but smile, this look was so cute.

Liu Yifei was eating when she suddenly shouted, "Oops, I forgot to take a photo."

He pulled out a piece of paper from the table, wiped his hands quickly, took out his cell phone, took a few pictures in succession, and pressed his fingers frantically on the screen.

"To whom?"

Li Mu said doubtfully.

"Sing sing, she said she decided to lose weight recently, I have to shake her will."

Liu Yifei said while twirling her fans, "I can't be the only one who gets fat!"

"."

On the other side, Shu Chang dragged his tired body back to his home. He had just finished filming the commercial, looked at the tomatoes and some vegetables in the refrigerator and the salad dressing next to him, and was about to make up his mind, secretly saying:
"I will definitely lose weight today. Either make it myself or order a fat-reducing meal."

At this moment, the phone screen suddenly lit up, and several messages came one after another.

".ah!"

"Destroy my Taoist heart."

"You are so evil!"

Shu Chang looked very angry, but his eyes were full of desire for food.

Not long after he had finished eating, Li Mu's cell phone rang with a call from the United States.

Looking at the unfamiliar call, Li Mu frowned, but still chose to accept it.

However, the other party's introduction suddenly surprised him.

It was actually a call from Piers Handlin, CEO of the Toronto International Film Festival.

The purpose of the call was also very simple, to invite him to lead the competition unit jury this year. This is also the first time that the Toronto International Film Festival has established a competition unit.

Unlike Class A film festivals such as Cannes and Berlin, as one of the largest and most influential film festivals in North America, the Toronto International Film Festival, which is held as scheduled at the Canadian Film Festival in September every year, has never been held in Canada. Award unit.

Its biggest award, the Audience Choice Award, as its name suggests, does not have a jury and is awarded entirely to the film with the highest votes voted by the audience attending the film festival.

Despite this, this will not shake its international influence at all, and even stole the spotlight from the old Venice Film Festival held almost at the same time last year.

That's why Li Mu was so surprised because this is the first time the Toronto International Film Festival has established a competition unit. .
"Mr. Pierce, thank you very much for your invitation. I am very interested in the Toronto Film Festival, but"

Although he was a little tempted, Li Mu still declined after thinking about some recent arrangements.

“It’s a pity.”

Pierce Handlin made a sound of regret. This was the first time in Toronto. He also wanted to find a world-famous director to lead this competition.

And Li Mu, who won the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year, is indeed a very good candidate, in terms of popularity, fame and all aspects.

But the other party couldn't arrange it, so he could only feel very sorry.

It is very normal for this kind of invitation to be rejected in the industry, just like Spielberg rejected film festivals such as Cannes more than a dozen times due to various reasons.
