Li Mu is indeed a super hot spot right now.
Unlike Boss Ma, who was often tossed around in the Western world in later generations, Li Muchu became a hot topic not only by his career and net worth, but also by his dazzling human nature. The latter is the reason why he is sought after by the Western world.
When Spielberg heard that Li Mu had agreed to his invitation and was coming to Los Angeles to attend his charity dinner, he was beyond excited. Although he had already become famous in the film and television industry, from his own perspective, he He believes that his achievements are far inferior to Li Mu's. No matter from the perspective of money, influence, changes to the world, etc., he feels that he is far behind Li Mu.
Spielberg is determined to make his charity organization bigger and benefit more African children, so he especially hopes that Li Mu, a "superstar" in the charity world, can bring greater influence to his charity organization. At the same time, he also I can take this opportunity to align my charity organization's nature with Li Mu's 3321.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Mu is a "superstar" in the charity world. Since 3321 was fully revealed to the Western world, the Western world has regarded 3321 as the only pyramid tip in the charity world, and all other charity funds cannot compare with it.
Under this situation, Spielberg even had a little admiration for this 20-year-old Chinese boy he had never met before.
Li Mu did not meet with any capital in the following two days. Although many capitals were eager to negotiate with him personally, Li Mu refused without exception. His current idea is to push Ding Zhenglin to the front and let him negotiate everything. Let him take the lead. He always maintains a sense of reserve and mystery. He wants to maintain the image of the ultimate BOSS. He must first pass the little BOSS Ding Zhenglin before he can face himself face to face.
After settling matters in Silicon Valley, Li Mu prepared to take Li Ziwei and his bodyguards to fly to Los Angeles on a business jet chartered by Elon Musk.
On the way to the airport, Li Ziwei, who had always been very calm in front of Li Mu, could not contain her excitement. According to her, Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCapri would appear at the charity dinner. Odu was her favorite Hollywood actor. She had never dreamed of having the opportunity to meet them before. Since she had such a unique opportunity this time, she must take a photo with them and ask for an autograph.
Li Mu teased her: "Since you like them so much, you might as well invite them to have a meal together. Then you will have enough time to chat with them."
"Ah?" Li Ziwei asked in surprise: "Can you really eat with them? Wouldn't it be too much trouble... "
Li Mu smiled and said: "What's the trouble? Since this charity dinner is hosted by Spielberg, there must be more than just these two big stars. There may be many other first- and second-tier stars. When the time comes, you See who you like, I’ll invite them all over.”
Li Ziwei's eyes widened, and after a moment she said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you have a lot of face. I believe that if you invite me, the invited celebrities will appreciate it no matter how busy they are."
Li Mu nodded: "Celebrities, in most cases they only pursue two elements, one is fame and the other is profit. No matter which country's entertainment industry, celebrities like to hang around the rich and famous. This is eternal. of."
Li Ziwei smiled and said: "It just so happens that you are both rich and wise."
Li Mu smiled calmly and said: "This time we are not attending a charity dinner, but mainly to gather some Hollywood resources first. Ziwei, you must have a clue in your mind and talk to these stars, famous directors, producers, film and television actors for me." If the company boss and the interface person communicate, it may be useful in the near future."
Li Ziwei asked in surprise: "Mr. Li, are you going to enter Hollywood?"
Li Mu asked her: "Otherwise? Do you think I have nothing to do and go to Los Angeles to hang out with a bunch of celebrities?"
Li Ziwei stuck out her tongue and asked, "Is Hollywood the next stage of development?"
Li Mu said: "No, Hollywood is not our focus, but it is a good development project. There is no influx of Chinese capital in Hollywood yet, but I believe it won't be long before China Capital will form a group to enter Hollywood. By that time At that time, the entertainment industry around the world will undergo earth-shaking changes."
Li Ziwei was stunned for a moment and said: "Mr. Li, Hollywood seems to be very globalized, but I feel that its American localization and closed development ideas are still very clear. Not to mention foreign capital and foreign actors. It’s hard to really fit in.”
Li Mu nodded slightly and smiled: "Judging from the current situation, you are right. Hollywood is relatively arrogant and always feels that it is the leader of the world's film industry. But in thirty years from Hedong to thirty years from Hexi, sooner or later one day , they will take the initiative to seek cooperation with China Capital."
Li Ziwei nodded in understanding. Although she didn't know the future development direction of Hollywood, she had followed Li Mu for a long time, and she had a very strong and blind following of Li Mu. She always felt that what Li Mu said must be right.
…
Elon Musk spent a lot of money this time for Li Mu, chartering a business jet for a flight of more than an hour. He had never done such an extravagant act before.
However, Elon Musk does not feel sorry for the money at all, because he knows in his heart that such a small investment will bring huge promotion and improvement to the development of his sister's business.
After meeting with Li Mu and boarding the plane together, Elon Musk said to Li Mu: "Director Spielberg invited a security company in Los Angeles and a high-end fleet that specializes in servicing Hollywood celebrities to greet him at the airport. He himself will also be there to greet him. Waiting at the airport to pick up the wind for you."
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "Americans are so polite in doing things."
Elon Musk smiled and said: "After all, you are a distinguished guest that he is very much looking forward to, so it is reasonable to welcome him in person."
With that said, Elon Musk added: "It is said that many media have been notified and are expected to shoot material at the airport. But don't worry, a large number of security personnel have been arranged on site, so there is no need to add an interview session. Just get off the plane." Get in the car directly and go to Director Spielberg’s villa in Pacific-Palisades, where the charity dinner will be held in the evening.”
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the plane took off from San Francisco.
The flight time of more than an hour was very short, and it basically started landing not long after takeoff. When the Gulfstream business jet landed at Los Angeles Airport, the plane taxied directly to the company's dedicated hangar, and Spielberg and he The prepared luxury fleet has been waiting here for a long time.
When the plane slowly entered the hangar, Li Mu had already seen six black luxury cars parked on one side of the huge hangar, including an extended limousine. There were more than a dozen people standing on one side of the convoy, including one Li Mu recognized the lean old man at a glance as the famous Spielberg.
After the plane came to a stop, the cabin door slowly opened. Spielberg had already arrived in front of the spiral staircase in advance. Before Li Mu came out, he even adjusted his suit collar to look extra formal.
Elon Musk and Spielberg had met several times, and they were considered acquaintances, so he got off the plane first. Spielberg shook his hand cordially and said thank you. .
After all, being able to invite Li Mu here is entirely due to Elon Musk.
After the two greeted each other, Li Mu got off the plane. When he was about to reach Spielberg, Spielberg took a step forward, shook hands with Li Mu, and said excitedly: "Mr. Li Mu, welcome to the airport." Los Angeles!"
Li Mu was also very excited. After all, he is a world-class director who has influenced countless people. Li Mu still respected him very much, so he politely said: "Hello, Mr. Spielberg, thank you very much for the invitation."
Spielberg said hurriedly: "I should thank you for coming!"
After that, Spielberg added: "Let's get in the car and talk while walking."
"good."
Li Mu and Elon Musk boarded the luxury stretch sedan brought by Spielberg. This kind of car has a special name in the United States called limo. The length of the car reached an astonishing eight and a half meters. It was extremely spacious inside. There is also an L-shaped sofa, an audio-visual system and a simple bar.
The three of them sat in such a long car, and they didn't feel crowded at all. There was even a bit of space, especially when the three of them sat on one side and formed a concave shape, which made the space in the car even more empty.
After getting in the car, Spielberg said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, there may be a lot of media present at tonight's charity dinner, and they may focus on you, but don't worry, the host of our charity dinner tonight Journalists are not allowed to enter the venue.”
Li Mu nodded lightly: "No problem, everything is subject to your arrangement."
Since he is a guest, he naturally wants the guest to do as he pleases. It would be best if Spielberg arranges it for him.
Later, Spielberg introduced the details of his charity organization to Li Mu, including how long it has been established, what aspects it focuses on, and what charitable contributions it has made during the years since its establishment.
On the whole, it is similar to what Elon Musk introduced to himself. This is a private charity organization that specializes in solving malaria problems for African children. The donations they raise every year will be used to provide treatment for children with malaria in Africa, and at the same time provide more medical services. Provide malaria prevention materials to more children.
According to Spielberg, this charity organization has many Hollywood members, including not only Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, but also Tom Hanks, Matt Damon and other A-list celebrities, most of these well-known actors have collaborated with Spielberg.
Li Mu also forgot the timeline of several of Spielberg's classic movies and couldn't help but ask him: "Mr. Spielberg, what movies have you shot this year?"
Spielberg said: "I have a total of two movies released this year, one is "Minority Report" with Tom Cruise, and the other is with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. "Cat and Mouse," "Cat and Mouse" will be released in North America on Christmas Day."
Li Mu was very familiar with "Cat and Mouse Game" and couldn't help but ask him: "When will this movie that will be released on Christmas be released in China?"
Spielberg said: "This film did not cooperate with mainland China. We had communicated with China Film Company before, but because some details were not settled, we gave up on releasing it in mainland China."
Li Mu frowned. "Cat and Mouse Game" is indeed a very good movie. It would be a pity not to be released in China. However, at this time, Hollywood did not pay much attention to the domestic film market. In the past two years, Hollywood movies The highest box office in China can only get tens of millions of yuan, and after dividing accounts at all levels, there will be little money left in the hands of investors. The most important thing is that it is subject to policy constraints, so many film and television companies have given up. Chinese market.
However, Li Mu suddenly thought that the online ticketing system he asked Fang Xudong to develop should have almost completed development and testing. It is now being installed and debugged in the theater chain he acquired. On Christmas and New Year's Day, "The Girls We Chased Together" and " "Crazy Stone" is about to be released. By then, the online ticketing system can be put into use. For Li Mu, he does not ask how much money the online ticketing system can make. He only hopes that through the linkage between YY and the online ticketing system, If you can create a higher attendance rate in your own theater chain, then more and more theater chains will inevitably cooperate with you.
However, the influence of domestic films is indeed limited. It is not enough for Li Mu to only affect theaters, so Li Mu came up with a crazy idea. It is better to find a way to promote Spielberg to bring "Cat and Mouse Game" to China. , when the time comes, I will use YY combined with the online ticketing platform to push up the box office of this movie, making the country and Hollywood aware of the potential of my online ticketing system, and laying a better foundation for future cooperation.
Regarding the solution for the entire online ticketing system, Li Mu has asked the company's team to register a large number of patents, forming a relatively complete patent chain. If it can make an impact around the world, there will be opportunities to make online ticketing available in the future. The system has been pushed to the United States, and now YY itself has a large number of American users. If we can find a good local partner, this online ticketing system can take root in the United States!
