Chapter 635 LeTV, Korean Restriction Order
"Director Guo has been shortlisted for Venice this time."

At this time, Xing Aina saw the report and murmured something.

Ning Hao, who was pondering the plot of "Crazy Alien", stopped.

"what?"

Ning Hao was stunned. "Isn't it a science fiction film directed by Lao Guo? I heard from Lao Li that the special effects seemed to be quite heavy. I thought it was adapted into hard science fiction."

"Why, you look down on Director Guo?"

Xing Aina handed the phone directly to Ning Hao, asking him to read the report.

"That's not the case." Ning Hao was speechless. What did it mean to get a direct block?

"Others' is science fiction, yours is also science fiction, but in the past few years, you haven't come up with anything."

Xing Aina was still attacking.

"Lao Guo's idea was guided by Lao Li, and there was also a book for reference."

Ning Hao defended himself, but as he spoke it seemed as if he couldn't continue.

"Got it? Isn't this also an adaptation? Didn't you also consult with Mr. Liu Cixin about it?" Xing Aina teased with a smile.

Ning Hao was speechless for a moment, mainly because after two waves of discussions with Li Mu and Liu Cixin, "Crazy Alien" had been changed to be less and less like "Rural Teacher". If it had not borrowed some settings, it would have seemed like an original work.

On the other hand, Guo Fan, who heard the news, was very excited at the moment.

The three major film festivals are one of the places sought after by directors with artistic pursuits.

However, netizens are somewhat looking forward to it at this moment.

"Guo Fan's "Arrival" has already been filmed and taken to Venice. I thought it was still in production."

"It can be released after the Venice Film Festival, have you chosen a release date? If you have, please post it as soon as possible."

"The summer movie season is really torturing me. I can still watch Guo Fan's sci-fi movies. It's Arrival, right? I've saved the money for the movie tickets and will wait for your release!"

"."

Of course, the actors are even more excited. After all, they have been shortlisted for the main competition unit, so they can also look forward to the acting awards.

"Sister Xun, congratulations!"

Liu Yifei sent a congratulatory text message.

Zhou Xun was also in a good mood. She didn't have many works this year because of various things including her marriage, and she also wanted to take a break and relax. Of course, it was also because of the poor resources after she founded her studio.

I never expected that the only movie starring me this year would be shortlisted for the three major awards.

"Mengying Media's resources are still good."

Zhou Xun also felt it deeply at this moment. People in the industry have always said that being able to film a movie for Mengying Media is definitely a good deal.

"No, no, Director Guo is great"

Zhou Xun immediately responded with a smile.

"By the way, Xixi, are you interested in investing in LeTV Pictures and LeTV Sports? They are still short of funds and are looking for us to increase their holdings."

Zhou Xun was just thinking about getting closer to Liu Yifei, but then he thought of Liu Yifei's identity. Why would he need the power of these film and television companies?

Moreover, if Li Mu was interested, LeTV would probably contact Mengying Media directly. Zhou Xun felt that what he said was redundant.

"But Director Li should have thought of all this." Zhou Xun added, and then changed the subject.

Li Mu directly invited everyone who wanted to participate in the guaranteed bonus to come over for a talk on the 10th.

No one had any objection to Li Mu's confidence. After all, Li Mu's strength was recognized by the industry. Just with this name, the movie would have a guaranteed box office of several hundred million.

When Li Mu returned home, Liu Yifei and Li Mu talked about LeTV while chatting.

“Is LeEco Pictures still looking for a lot of investors?”

"Oh, how do you know?"

Li Mu was a little confused because Liu Yifei was not very interested in investing in the shares of these companies.

"No, I just chatted with Sister Xun today. She mentioned that LeEco is still asking them to increase their holdings."

When Li Mu heard this, he almost spit out the water he had just drunk.

Looking back, everyone has been discussing LeTV occasionally recently. After all, LeTV is now a star enterprise with such a wide range of involvement that it is enviable.

In April, LeTV Sports completed its Series B financing of nearly 80 billion yuan.

It has only been a short time, and I can't wait to get money again.
"I remember Guo Degang sold his shares last month. Why does Zhou Xun want to increase his holdings? Let her take it easy."

Li Mu couldn't tell them directly not to vote, so he could only give them a subtle reminder.

"Oh!"

Liu Yifei blinked her bright eyes.

Knowing Li Mu's personality well, she naturally knew that Li Mu was not optimistic about LeTV, so she did not continue to delve into the topic. After all, she did not know much about this.

The industry seemed to have fallen into an extremely cold market for a while because of "Legend of the Gods".

However, in addition to the two films "Operation Red Sea" and "Operation Mekong" which are being promoted, Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" has finally revealed its mysterious veil, releasing the first trailer and 15 beautiful stills.

All the main actors are included, and the exquisite details on the costumes can be clearly seen.

In the trailer, the logos of China Film, LeTV, Legendary, and Universal Studios flashed. The towering Great Wall, the smoke of gunpowder, the ink-and-wash landscape, and the mighty ancient army
With the help of various strange mechanisms and weapons, the soldiers either climb up the wall or jump down, giving the illusion of flying over the eaves and walls. Coupled with the artillery fire flying in all directions in the air and Zhang Yimou's iconic shot of thousands of arrows firing at the same time, it is dazzling.

"The Sino-foreign co-production film "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou was officially scheduled to be released on December 12 today, and the first round of stills were released!"

Major media outlets rushed to report on it.

"It's still the grand scene that Zhang Yimou is good at. It looks pretty good."

“I’m a little worried when I see Jing Tian as the lead actor, but since Zhang Yi is directing it, it should be OK.”

“You can look forward to it.”

"The Great Wall" was extremely popular for a while, and as it was marketed as a blockbuster co-produced by Zhang Yimou and China and the United States, LeTV also made a splash in it. After all, the only domestic companies that could get on this boat were LeTV and China Film.

“I can use this opportunity to find someone to invest.”

Jia Yueting muttered to himself and turned his attention to the entertainment industry, because he had borrowed money everywhere in China, and now this was the place with the most money.

Moreover, it is now popular for film and television companies to attract celebrity shareholders to invest in the company and use this to increase the value of the company.

This is definitely a good sustainable "circular" path.

"Director Zhang, are you free tomorrow?"

Jia Yueting picked up the phone and called Zhang Yi.

At the same time, Zhang Yi, who received a call from Jia Yueting, did not doubt it, after all, "The Great Wall" was about to enter the promotion period.

"Sister Xun, speaking of LeEco, I remember Guo Degang withdrew his shares last month."

The next day, Liu Yifei thought about it and decided to remind Zhou Xun. During their casual chat, she mentioned the matter unintentionally, but she didn't say it obviously.

After all, she is not a fool. This matter involves money, so even friends have to be cautious.

"Oh, really? I didn't pay much attention to that."

Zhou Xun was stunned, obviously not knowing about this. "Strange, why would Mr. Guo suddenly withdraw his shares? Obviously the momentum is still good."

However, no matter how dumb Zhou Xun was, he also reacted, because Liu Yifei must have obviously talked about this with Li Mu.

It was obviously said by Li Mu and Liu Yifei. Otherwise, based on her understanding of Liu Yifei, the other party was not someone who liked to invest in companies.

Just like her before, when Huayi went public, she could have subscribed to it, but she missed it because she didn’t understand.

She has been studying hard in the past few years, but her investment results are not ideal.

"I don't know that"

Liu Yifei responded briefly and then changed the subject.

Zhou Xun captured it very keenly at this moment, but he was not sure.

"Should I add it or not?" Zhou Xun was still confused. She didn't have much idea about withdrawing her shares because she didn't buy much and LeEco's development prospects seemed very good at the moment.

At the same time, Jia Yueting and Zhang Yi were also talking about this matter.

"Director Zhang, do you want to invest more? I see that The Great Wall is highly anticipated, and LeTV is also gaining a lot of attention recently."

Jia Yueting smiled faintly, as if reminding Zhang Yimou to invest more, as more people wanted to invest in LeTV recently.

"I will think about it."

Zhang Yi did not refuse outright. His shareholding ratio was already as high as 1.43%, and he was not very interested in further increasing his holdings.

"Okay, Director Zhang, come back to me when you're interested. I'll leave some for him," Jia Yueting said generously.

"By the way, Director Zhang, can you introduce Mr. Li from Mengying Media to me? LeTV Pictures has grown to this point and needs some senior strategic investors in the industry. I heard that Mr. Li from Mengying Media is quite interested in investment."

Jia Yueting spoke to Zhang Yi with great anticipation.

It is well known to everyone in the industry that Mengying Media has a large amount of cash flow, and it doesn't even need capitalization.

It just so happened that LeTV needed a large amount of funds at this time, and if it could reach a strategic cooperation with Mengying Media, LeTV Pictures would definitely be able to take it to the next level.

"Oh, about this." Zhang Yi paused and did not agree immediately, "I'll ask."

"No problem. I'll leave this matter to Director Zhang."

Jia Yueting smiled even more. As long as he could pull a link, he was sure he could convince the other party.

Moreover, LeTV not only has celebrity shareholders, but also Jack Ma and Wang Jianlin have participated in the investment. Jia Yueting doesn't believe that the other party will not be tempted.

Just then, a media outlet suddenly published an article.

"Comprehensive information from various sources confirms that the General Administration does intend to restrict the performing activities of Korean artists in China, but to be more precise, it should be called 'regulation'."

For a time, news about the General Administration's ban on South Korea was widely circulated in the industry, catching some companies off guard.

This is the case with Huayi at this moment.

"So sudden."

Wang Zhonglei was a little surprised at this moment, because Huayi had the deepest connection with Korean artists.

This is a serious blow to the head.

"No official notification yet, deal with the business at hand as soon as possible."

After Wang Zhongjun finished the call, he breathed a sigh of relief as there was still time.

Because he learned that there was no substantive document for this regulation order, and there was no official notification yet, but Huayi had to adjust its strategy before then.
