Chapter 764 Contract
"Yesterday, Huanxi Media announced that it had signed a cooperation agreement with director Zhang Yimou:

Zhang Yimou will direct three online TV series in the next 6 to 10 years (one of which may be turned into a film project depending on the situation). Huanxi Media has the exclusive investment rights for the online series.
In return, Huanxi Media offered Zhang Yimou a generous offer of 1 million shares and 5000 million creative funds, with the director's salary calculated separately."

For Zhang Yi, who ended his cooperation with LeTV, it took only two months from the time the news broke to the time he confirmed joining Huanshi Media.

Many production companies in the industry sighed with regret.

Wang Changtian is no exception. After all, Guangguang is indeed lacking a director with whom he can have a close cooperation. But when he thinks about how Huanxi Media operates, he understands why Zhang Yi signed with Huanxi.

After all, in the traditional film and television business, Huanshi Media follows the most traditional "director core system" approach, and therefore has many director shareholders.

Wong Kar-wai, Peter Chan, Gu Chang-wai, Zhang Yibai.
At the same time, he has established close cooperative relationships with well-known directors including Jia Zhangke, Wen Jun, Wang Xiaoshuai, Li Yang, and Chen Daming.

This is the confidence of Huanxi Media.

"There's nothing we can do, Mr. Wang, but let's see what you and Director Zhang will work on later."

Li Mu naturally also saw the report. After all, the media had made a big fuss about this matter. As a top director in the industry, Zhang Yi's every move touched the nerves of the industry.

"It's satisfied. The joyful model and conditions are definitely not something that Guangguang can provide. By the way, Director Li, regarding the adaptation of the Sichuan Airlines story, which director does Mengying plan to use?

I think everyone’s plans are about to come out, and the competition pressure is not small this time.”

Wang Changtian is still quite concerned about current events. After all, this subject matter is still quite attractive to film.

"I'll guide it myself."

Li Mu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he would have to do this hard work himself in the end.

"That's a sure thing, Director Li." Wang Changtian almost wanted to applaud. Given these conditions, what else is there for the Civil Aviation Administration of China and Sichuan Airlines to compete against? This is definitely the stabilizing force.

"Hopefully."

Li Mu smiled, but didn't dare to make any guarantees. He could only say that there were definitely advantages.

However, Li Mu did not completely slack off. He took a look at the plan just sent by Mengying Media. After thinking about it for a while, Li Mu picked up his phone and called Liu Weijuan.

"Mr. Li, the plan has been sent to your email."

"I just looked at it. Overall, there are no major problems. However, an extra 10 million yuan should be allocated to the Civil Aviation Administration for commending the crew. The specific allocation does not need to be written. Let them revise and improve it."

Li Mu said bluntly.

This is actually the experience of cooperating with the official. In fact, the investment amount is not particularly important. Sometimes a little more or less is not the critical factor.

The most important thing is to spend money to buy face for the officials and put it into practice. It can not only allow the Civil Aviation Administration and Sichuan Province to hold a commendation meeting to let the public see the civil aviation heroes and publicize the heroic deeds, but also the money does not need to be paid from its own finances or other places, and it can also win the hearts of the people.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

This is the essence of the plan.

Liu Weijuan was not stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: "Understood, Mr. Li."

Naturally, Li Mu would not go to the competition for the film and television copyright of the story, and he could not leave the crew either, so the senior management could go there.

The crew of "The Wandering Earth" is playing the voice of the robot Moss.

"MOSS never defected."

"Good luck to the Earth!"

"."

In fact, when the robot Moss appeared, everyone in the crew who had a little knowledge of science fiction films understood that this was a tribute to "2001: A Space Odyssey".

Because "Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics" laid the foundation for the robot Moss's code of conduct.

That is, "a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm", "a robot must obey the orders given to it by humans, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law", and "a robot must protect its own survival as long as this does not conflict with the First or Second Laws."

This is the law of robot implantation in all subsequent science fiction films.

Just looking at the whole story, Guo Fan seemed to have thought of something.

"Brother, I'm wondering if the 'Spark Plan' in our 'The Wandering Earth' is the same Plan B from 'Interstellar'?"

It is well known that Li Mu is one of the main screenwriters of "Interstellar".

At this point, the "Spark Plan" in "The Wandering Earth" is hard not to remind people of Plan B in "Interstellar": immigration with 5000 human embryos.

Plan A, which corresponds to Plan B, is the main plot of "Interstellar" - scientists went to three planets that may be suitable for human migration to explore the environment.

"The Wandering Earth" goes the other way, giving priority to the "Spark Plan" which involves transporting 5000 human fertilized embryos and the DNA map of all species to find a new home suitable for human survival.

"Isn't it interesting?" Li Mu smiled, "I was the one who proposed that plan."

Guo Fan couldn't help but laugh: "I wonder if the fans can see it."

This is the director's romance. Every movie may have more or less connection or tribute to other movies.

While Li Mu was filming, the heads and executives of major production companies gathered at the Civil Aviation Administration. "Boss Liu, long time no see, Director Li is not here?" Yu Dong smiled and shook hands with Liu Weijuan.

"No, Mr. Li is still busy with the crew."

Just as the two were negotiating, the staff called out Mengying Media.

"Boss Yu, let's go in first and talk later."

"."

"Are you sure Director Li will be directing it?"

People from the Civil Aviation Administration and Sichuan Airlines saw Mengying Media’s proposal, and Li Mu’s name was written in the director column.

Then this question came up, as if he wanted to confirm it again.

"Yes, Mr. Li said he directed it himself."

Liu Weijuan responded, and she clearly felt that the leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration seemed very satisfied with this answer, and the smile on their faces became even bigger.

"Director Zhang, we were still worrying about the amount of the award a few days ago, but we didn't expect Mengying Media to have even thought of this for us."

"Old Zhou, now you don't have to nag the finance department anymore. I'm tired of hearing it these days."

"."

"Okay, Mr. Liu, we have reviewed your proposal and are very satisfied with it. We will inform you of the results within three days."

"OK, thanks."

Liu Weijuan also informed Li Mu as soon as possible.

"Three days, that's pretty inefficient." Li Mu complained, "Okay, tell me when you get the results."

He quite likes the story about Sichuan Airlines, and it is not difficult.

If the shooting difficulty of "The Wandering Earth" is five stars, then the shooting difficulty of this story is probably only one star, and it can be completed in less than two months.

At this time, a photo of Li Lianjie, who had not appeared for a long time, was uploaded on Weibo.

In the photo, he has gray hair, a hunched back, and is supported by someone. He looks very old, like an 80-year-old man, but he is only 55 years old now.

You know, 64-year-old Jackie Chan is still active in the film industry and can still dance and fight, but Li Lianjie is indeed too old to be real, which really made netizens exclaim.

"Damn, what's wrong with Li Lianjie? Isn't he aging too fast?"

"You deserve this fate for abandoning your wife and daughter!"

"It was probably caused by the filming of The Mummy 3. They portrayed the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, as a heinous person, so they suffered backlash."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. It's obviously caused by hyperthyroidism. That's it. You will only age faster and faster."

"."

Everyone in the crew sighed, and those who had worked with Li Lianjie were all filled with emotion.

It will take two days for the Civil Aviation Administration to respond, but the film and television industry, which had been calm, was suddenly plunged into a quagmire because of the official announcement of the filming of "Cell Phone 2".

Because Choi Young-won’s Weibo was like dynamite, for three consecutive days he attacked whoever he met.

First, they attacked Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan, saying that one of them was good at doing things, while the other was good at calculating!
He also posted a screenshot of an interview with Liu Zhenyun's daughter, mocking Liu Zhenyun for being shameless.

Although Feng Xiaogang and screenwriter Liu Zhenyun dodged and did not speak out, Cui Yongyuan still pursued them relentlessly.

But the following Weibo post was like a huge rock smashing into the deep pool of the film and television industry, causing huge waves and ripples on the water.

"Why does one person need to sign two contracts for one play? In the industry, this is called one small and one big.
I am not afraid of being exposed, because I claim to be worth tens of millions.

He didn't do this or that, so he just took away 60 million RMB.

Now the question is, why did he take the 4 million secretly? What was he afraid of? Also, after getting the million, this guy only acted on the set for days.

There is a picture below this sentence. In the words of Cui Yongyuan in the interview, he said, "It is my first time using Meitu XiuXiu and I did not mosaic it properly. I deeply apologize."

For a time, waves arose both inside and outside the industry.

“dog day”

"Something should have happened a long time ago. You played it so hard."

Guo Fan took a deep breath. He didn't need to confirm whether it was true like the people on the Internet, because it must be true.

However, someone broke the news online for a while, saying that the contract revealed by Choi Young-won was for the movie "The Bombing".

"The Bombing" is a war movie that started shooting in 2015. It has a very luxurious cast, including Bruce Willis from abroad and Liu Ye, William Chan, Nicholas Tse and others from China.

Fan Binbin was a special guest star, and the water suddenly became muddy.
