Chapter 953: Not actively collecting money, there is something wrong with your brain

"Damn, Chen Sicheng and Wanda are such bastards."

An audience member who watched "Detective Chinatown 3" on the first day of the Lunar New Year and wrote a comment on Weibo couldn't help but curse when he saw the messages on his own site.

The following Weibo post was also posted by the official Weibo account of Detective Chinatown 3:
"Thank you for the support and encouragement from the audience. I have been watching everyone's discussions these past two days. They have been of great help to us. Opinions help us grow and suggestions make us progress. Thank you all, I have received them all."

"What a damn irony!"

After the audience complained silently, they did nothing.

After all, it's just a movie. Even though I'm unhappy about it, I don't plan to say anything more.

However, although word of mouth can be deleted, it cannot be reversed.

In the box office on the third and fourth days of the Chinese New Year, although "Detective Chinatown 3" won 7.4 million and 4.3 million, "Hello, Li Huanying" won 4.8 million and 5.6 million, successfully overtaking on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year.

The industry was in an uproar for a while.

It is incredible that the movie directed by Jia Ling achieved a counterattack on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year.

"It's really a miracle." Colin Ming of Ruyi Film and Television was a little confused when looking at the growth rate of the box office.

"Fortunately, Li Mu's Maoyan Culture invested first, otherwise we might have missed it."

Ke Jiuming couldn't help but feel a little emotional at this time. The continuous rise in the popularity of this movie was obviously a sign of it becoming a super hit.

The return on this investment will be as high as ten or twenty times.

"Li Mu's vision is still trustworthy."

Colin Ming said calmly that although he had been the operator of several hit TV series, he was still a little weaker in the film industry and did not have any well-known achievements. The only ones he could show off were "Send You a Little Red Flower" and "Sewing Machine Band".

At this time, not only the big and small Ke brothers of Ruyi Film and Television were whispering, but many filmmakers in the industry were also discussing it.

"How come Li Mu can always find such good movies? I remember Jia Ling asked me about it a long time ago, why did I refuse?"

"Who would have thought that this director, who is not even a professional director, would actually be better than Chen Sicheng this time!"

"As expected of the industry's golden finger, anything Li Mu takes a fancy to is basically good. I heard that Ruyi and Didu Culture followed suit without hesitation after learning that Maoyan had won a share."

"Well, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll just send a message to congratulate them. Maybe I can get a share in the next movie!"

"."

Li Mu naturally had no idea about the current discussions in the industry, and he was not too worried about "Hello, Li Huanying" at all.

The film "Changjin Lake" is still under production, and it will be moved to Zhangjiakou soon.

The filming in Dandong is coming to an end.

Time flies and it is the fifth day of the New Year.

The most shocking news in the industry is that the total box office (including pre-sales) of the 2021 Spring Festival period exceeded 59.06 billion yuan, exceeding the total box office of the 2019 Spring Festival, setting a new record and continuing to break it.

Although Detective Chinatown 3 accounted for more than half of the total box office during the period with 30 billion yuan, Hello, Li Huanying ranked second with over 20 billion yuan.
At the same time, Jia Ling also became the highest-grossing female director in Chinese film history with this box office success.

For a moment, there were voices of congratulations and cheers all around.

“People in the circle are really realistic.”

Jia Ling saw that her phone kept ringing with messages, many of which were from people who had been rejected when she was looking for investment before, and now they also sent messages.

At this point, it seems that the initial bet made by Maoyan Culture was invaluable.

"Do you think everyone will help someone in need?" Shen Teng couldn't help but recall that it was Li Mu who gave him a chance, allowing him to quickly transition from the stage to the big screen, which led to his current situation.

"It's like this. I've seen through it." Zhang Xiaofei looked as if he had seen through everything, which immediately caused the two of them to roll their eyes.

"Look at her. She's so young, but she seems to be indifferent to the world. You're worthy of choosing her to be your mother." Shen Teng joked with disdain.

Shen Teng's move made everyone laugh.

"By the way, Brother Teng, can you take me to visit Director Li's home?"

Jia Ling thought about it and couldn't help saying, "I wanted to thank Director Li. Although he is still directing the movie, Liu Yifei and her daughter are still at home, and it happens to be the Spring Festival. I thought..."

"That shouldn't be a problem, but I have to ask."

Shen Teng thought about it and realized that he was indeed the closer person here. Jia Ling had only met Li Mu once, so it would not be appropriate to ask rashly. It would be more appropriate for him to take action.

"Okay, thank you Brother Teng."

"What's there to thank me for? We're so familiar with each other." Shen Teng waved his hand, "Now is not a good time. I'm probably still directing the show. I'll call Director Li later to let him know."

It was around 5pm, and because it was winter, it was getting dark early.

The winter wind is always so biting that people keep their hands in their sleeves when walking, for fear of revealing even a little bit of their hands.

The steaming mutton soup not far away is the key to keeping warm. The lunch box is also placed in an insulated box, which is only opened when someone is coming, for fear that it will leak out and get cold.

Li Mu had just taken two bites of his meal and was chatting with Wu Jing and Hu Jun when Shen Teng called.

"Is that so? No need to bother with that." Li Mu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. The box office success is just a thank you."

"That's fine!"

After some persuasion from Shen Teng, Li Mu agreed. After all, it didn't matter much if Jia Ling went there.

"What's wrong with Director Li? Is there something wrong with Jia Ling?" Wu Jing was gnawing on a chicken leg and asked when she saw that Li Mu had put down his phone.

"Nothing, just wanted to express my gratitude." Li Mu said calmly, "By the way, you are the one who pulled the strings. You should have received this big red envelope."

"Of course. She told me last time that the red envelope is already prepared and she's just waiting for me to go back and get it after the filming is finished."

Wu Jing felt somewhat proud when talking about it. After all, the connection was well made and it was a win-win situation for both parties.

"Then Director Zhang and I have to shoot faster, otherwise it will affect your return to get the red envelope?"

"Hahaha"

"."

In the evening, after work, Li Mu also mentioned this matter to Liu Yifei.

"Sister Jia Ling and Brother Teng, sure!" Liu Yifei said with a smile, "Your daughter is eager for more people to come. She is very active in receiving red envelopes now."

"If you are not enthusiastic about collecting money, you have a problem with your brain, which proves that there is nothing wrong with my daughter's brain."

"What are you talking about!" Liu Yifei said coquettishly.

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the industry once again welcomed major news, and the news that "the annual box office in 2021 exceeded billion" broke the morning tranquility.

This achievement is quite impressive. For a time, many industry insiders and major capitals were looking forward to the film and television industry in 2021.
