Chapter 584 Mengying’s 70 billion, Ye Zhu
The Lunar New Year movie has been activated with "The Secret of the Dragon", and the remaining upcoming films are also continuing to work hard in promotion.

For example, Feng Xiaogang expressed his feelings at the screening of the movie "Old Paoer" directed by Guan Hu:

"Audiences will complain that there are too many bad movies in China, but sometimes if you make a movie seriously, you won't get box office support.

On the one hand, everyone complains that there are too many bad movies, but on the other hand, they use the box office to support bad movies. I hope everyone can support director Guan Hu and make good movies with great care. "

As for films such as "Detective Chinatown" directed by Chen Sicheng and "Villain Angel" directed by Deng Chao, they are on crazy road shows.

Of course, Xu Zheng's "囧" is no exception, but since it is the first "囧", relatively speaking, its advantages are naturally unmatched by other films.

On the other side, the crew of "Operation Red Sea" walked out of the Dharber Desert.

Everyone in the car looked back at the desolate land filled with yellow sand behind them, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It was the filming location for the magnificent desert gunfight scenes, and the crew stayed there for more than a month.

Almost everyone eats a lot of sand or dust.

According to media reports, laughter continued throughout the premiere hall that night.
On Christmas Day, the first-day box office of "囧" has been released.

"Justice prevails!"

The day before Christmas Eve, the premiere of "囧 in Hong Kong" came as scheduled and it was hilarious.

It exceeded 2 million on the first day and broke 12 records in a row.

"."

"Seeing it, I must have remembered something good!"

Just as the Lunar New Year holiday is in full swing, the final trial of Qiong Yao's "Plum Blossom Brand" copyright protection case, which has affected many in the industry, has finally come to an end.

"Eighty percent no. Director Li said he wouldn't go to the Golden Globes if it was too late. You can imagine that I guess he is Director Li's child. It's more than six months old."

"I guess it's the Golden Globe Awards. It seems to be the only happy event these days."

Although the punishment did not hurt the company, after all, the profit from this infringement had already exceeded the 500 million yuan that needed to be compensated, but its attitude towards rectifying the chaos in the industry in recent years has changed.

But this is a hardship for Wang Baoqiang, because he is the leading actor in "囧" and "Detective Chinatown", so it is essential to run on both sides.

"It is of profound and great significance to protect originality!"

"Did you see that Director Li was smiling even with his eyes closed?"

The court made a final decision: rejecting the appeals of the defendants and upholding the original verdict! Qiong Yao won the infringement case, and Yu Zheng was sentenced to publicly apologize and stop distributing "The Palace". The five producers and defendants paid a total compensation of 500 million yuan.

Thinking of his family still in the imperial capital and his unborn child, Li Mu raised a slight smile on his lips.

Li Mu squinted his eyes at the moment and leaned back on the chair, not opening his eyes despite the bumps of the vehicle.

This judgment is also historic, benchmarking and of far-reaching significance.

On the other hand, Wu Jing and Zhang Yi fell asleep directly in the car.

But with Wang Baoqiang's "囧", the overall look and feel has been enhanced to a higher level.

These three months have been really tiring, but fortunately, the filming is almost finished.

Huang Jingyu, Wang Yutian and other energetic young people discussed in a low voice.

The industry is not numb to "囧", but to Mengying Media's performance this year.

"I'm afraid Mengying Media will reach 70 billion this year!"

"This year's box office revenue for Mengying Media is probably as high as the box office revenue for the entire year of 2009."

"."

With the popularity of "囧", "The Secret of the Dragon"'s performance of breaking 8 billion on the 10th seems to have dimmed a lot.

"Director Li, during the Lunar New Year this year, Mengying Media has made a big move."

Ye Zhu first expressed emotion, "In "Detective Chinatown," I hope Director Li will be merciful."

"I've read the movie script. It's of very high quality. There's no need to show any mercy."

Li Mu smiled, but he felt that Ye Zhu's call today was probably not for this matter.

"Director Li, we have known each other for about seven years." Ye Zhu smiled.

"Yes, yes."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then thought of some rumors in the industry. At this time, I am afraid that the dust has already settled.

"I guess Director Li has also thought of it. In fact, I am already handing over the work. Wanda will probably announce it after the year."

Ye Zhu smiled indifferently. "Huayi?"

Li Mu then asked with a smile. As a professional manager, it is normal for Ye Zhu to change jobs.

Although Ye Zhu earns an annual salary of tens of millions at Wanda, Wanda's corporate culture, "Wanda's internal management" and "talent outlook" doomed that Ye Zhu would not have the opportunity to run a large enterprise, and would not be able to obtain a more independent identity. Considered part of Wang Jianlin’s success
To a certain extent, Ye Ning's departure from Wanda was not impulsive, but inevitable.

What's more, Wang Jianlin couldn't completely trust him, so in the first half of 2015, he promoted Qunyao to become his immediate boss.

"Director Li still sees through it."

Ye Ning was a little surprised. Although everyone was speculating, many people speculated that he would go to Tencent Pictures, while Li Mu directly guessed Huayi.

"Everyone thinks you will go to Tencent Pictures, but it was only established in September this year. It is currently in the start-up stage. Apart from money, you have nothing else. Going there is almost like starting your own business. It is not cost-effective. Do it for others. Wedding dress."

"To be honest, what I most want to come to is Mengying Media. Alas, Director Li doesn't give me a chance. However, Mengying Media is growing rapidly every year. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to take charge."

Ye Zhu said jokingly, and there was probably some truth in it.

But coming to Mengying Media, even if Li Mu lets go, Ye Zhu probably won't have much say, because the major directors and internal staff are now extremely stable.

As for the Rays, they are developing step by step under the leadership of Wang Changtian and are developing well. There is no lack of leadership.

Bona is the product of Hong Kong filmmakers who went north to seek gold. The films they produced include "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "Overheard", "The Grandmaster", "Sister Peach", and "Macau" etc., it belongs to the Hong Kong film series and does not fit Ye Chu’s style.

LeTV already has Zhang Yimou, Tsui Hark and Lu Xun joining the team. How should Ye Zhuruo go about his relationship with these people, and how much say can he have?
It’s a similar situation to Mengying Media.

Looking back at today's Huayi, it really needs someone who is very popular in the industry to try to regain some confidence.

This year's box office performance is obvious to all in the industry. It has now exceeded 440 billion, an increase of 2014% from 48.7, or 215 billion yuan, setting the highest annual growth rate since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan". There are 81 films with box office over 47 million yuan, including domestically produced films. films.

In last year's wave of film wealth, Mengying Media was far ahead, while Huayi's role was reduced from one of the representatives of the film industry in people's minds to a side runner. The leading blockbuster produced was only one "Old Paoer". The box office is not expected to exceed 10 billion in the industry.

"Huayi's ship is not easy to control."

Li Mu shook his head. Although Wang Zhongjun was a little wavering on the "de-filming" strategy, Wang Zhongjun still refused to give up and wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

"And Wang Zhongjun seems to be a bit lazy like me."

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh when he said this, because Wang Zhongjun and his "not diligent enough" are famous.

But Wang Zhongjun is even better.

I have to sleep 10 hours a day, go to work very late, and don't pay much attention to my subordinates. I basically work from home. I know at most half of the company's artists. Even if the company has a film shooting, I rarely go to visit the company.

"Hahaha, Director Li is more comfortable living like this."

Ye Zhu is also sincerely envious, because Li Mu is indeed not a diligent company leader, but he can't help but has a very good vision.
"."

"Okay, then I wish Mr. Ye good luck in his career and we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Hahaha, Director Li has been waiting for your words!"

Ye Zhu hung up the phone with a look of joy on his face. He called Li Mu, naturally thinking of cooperating with Li Mu one day.

However, he frowned slightly after hanging up the phone. Huayi naturally gave him more than Wanda, both in terms of position and power, but he also faced many problems.

Today's Huayi has become less like a film company and less like an entertainment company, and more like a group that has become extremely bloated before it has grown up.

Huayi Brothers seems to want to get involved in everything in the pan-entertainment field and loves the concept of hype, but they have not thoroughly completed or strengthened any one.

Among peers, Wanda is the strongest in theaters, Enlight is the strongest in distribution, Mengying is the strongest in content, Bona is the strongest in Hong Kong film production, and LeTV is the strongest in the Internet platform.
"It's really hard to control the ship."

Ye Zhu lamented that Li Mu knew something, how could he not know it clearly in advance as a person who was about to change jobs.

Because as long as you open the Huayi Department's corporate website, you can deeply feel this. There are so many links to the business departments, but few can be opened.

Even some of them are extremely old, the information is still in 2012 or 2013, and many functions are unavailable.

But this is a step he must take as a professional manager.

Li Mu, who was in Morocco at the moment, also shook his head. Although Huayi poached Ye Zhu, it could only be stable for a while. The last words Li Mu said were not false. After so many years of friendship, he did not reject cooperation.

But Huayi is destined to be unable to be saved by Ye Zhu alone, because the speed of "putting out the fire" can never keep up with the speed of "the spread of the fire".

Because as the scale of the "Capital Bureau" continues to expand, Wang Zhongjun's frequent participation in capital gambling, acquisition of shell companies at premiums, and investment cash-out and other operations have made Huayi fall deeper and deeper.

Now Wang Zhongjun has not seen this clearly, otherwise he would have cut off most of his business at this moment.

But by the time he could see clearly, Hua Yi would probably be seriously ill.

The momentum of "The Secret of the Dragon" has slowed down, but "囧" took over, with a cumulative box office of 7.01 million yuan in three days of release, becoming the current record holder for the fastest Chinese-language film to break 7 million yuan in box office.
