Since the combination of Makino Technology and Taobao has made a lot of singers popular, Li Mu has suddenly become one of the people in the entertainment industry that celebrities want to know. This time Zhang Guorong was invited by 3321 to be a student ambassador. Everyone in the entertainment industry is You know, it was because of Li Mu's invitation that after he came to Yanjing, everyone on the Farewell My Concubine crew wanted to reminisce with him, and even more wanted to get in touch with Li Mu through reminiscing.
Li Mu is not interested in being involved in the entertainment industry. Otherwise, with his current strength, if he invests in just a few movies, a lot of film and television companies will come forward to cooperate. If he wants to invite any domestic director or actor to make a movie, no matter the other party himself or his agent It is basically impossible for the company to refuse. The reason why Liu Tianwang agreed to play a supporting role in Ning Hao's movie was not only to make money, but also to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Makino Imaging.
However, Li Mu has a future product plan in mind. He wants to try to do movie performance ticketing business based on Taobao, so it is also a good thing to have more contact with big names in the film industry. Next, Li Mu hopes that Makino Technology can Acquiring some theater chains and launching online ticketing business based on our own theater chains is a huge market and a very important user consumption habit, which will also have far-reaching significance for Alipay in the future.
Although he agreed to meet the crew of Farewell My Concubine, Li Mu did not go with Zhang Guorong and the others. Instead, after asking about the location, he specifically asked the three of them to go first, while he drove Su Yingxue there. At the Xiehe Hospital not far from where she was eating, her wound had been treated, but she still had a tetanus shot. After Li Mu took her to Xiehe Hospital to get a tetanus shot, the two sat back in the car. Li Mu looked at Seeing the tiredness in her expression, she couldn't help but say: "I'll take you back, and I won't go socializing with them tonight."
Su Yingxue said: "It's okay. I already promised. It's not appropriate to go back on my word at this time. Besides, I really don't want to go to my aunt's house now. I'm not ready to tell my aunt and uncle what happened. But in my current state, I really can't go back." I can’t even hide my words…”
Li Mu heard that she didn't want to tell her family what happened today, so she said, "Then tell them that you will stay at the school tonight, and I will accompany you tonight."
Li Mu is the only person around Su Yingxue who knows the whole thing. If she is not going to tell her family, then he must stay with her, because now he is the only one who can give her a sense of security and psychological comfort.
Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. At this moment, she could only feel at ease when she was by Li Mu's side.
After setting off to the hotel, Li Mu drove his car, driving Su Yingxue who was speechless all the way. Li Mu asked her tentatively: "What's wrong? I haven't spoken."
Su Yingxue pursed her lips and sighed softly: "No, the main thing is that there are too many things that happened today. I was just wondering when the parents I knew would arrive in Yanjing. After they arrive, I have to accompany them to tell them what they know. It’s done.”
Li Mu nodded and said, "I'll make a call later and ask the police comrades to help keep an eye on it. Cai Zhizhi's parents will definitely go directly to the hospital when they arrive. There are people from the Chengxi Branch keeping watch at the hospital."
Su Yingxue nodded slightly and asked Li Mu: "That Huang Shuolun will definitely be punished by law, right?"
Li Mu said firmly: "He will definitely receive the most severe sanctions. Now the editor of Makino Technology is already producing special news, which is expected to be released soon. By then, his case will attract the attention of the whole society. , no one can save him."
Su Yingxue was finally relieved. She crossed her hands in front of her and stared at the tips of her thumbs, thoughtfully.
Li Mu said: "The Huang family has agreed to transfer 50 million to the account of Brother Liang's company tomorrow morning, of which 20 million is compensation. I am going to let Brother Liang set up a company in the name of the company for the remaining 30 million." Anti-Drunk Driving Fund.”
Su Yingxue asked: "What will the fund be used for?"
Li Mu said: “Promote the boycott of drunk driving and provide humanitarian assistance to innocent people injured by drunk driving and their families. Another long-term goal is to promote the progress of the legal system. If the country can write drunk driving into the criminal law and make it clear that drunk driving is a crime, It can play a key role in curbing drunk driving.”
Su Yingxue rarely showed a hint of surprise and said: "This matter is so meaningful. You must push forward seriously. Don't give up halfway or leave it alone."
Li Mu promised: "Don't worry, I will always supervise this matter."
With that said, Li Mu briefly introduced the Huang family's third-ring land. The land will be handed over to Wanying Group for operation, and the profits during the period will be put into the foundation.
Su Yingxue was so shocked that she couldn't speak. It was hard for her to imagine why Li Mu could reverse this matter so completely. Huang Jinxiao was so strong and powerful. After being beaten by Li Mu, , instead of keeping his son, he actually made such a big concession, which is simply unbelievable.
But thinking about it carefully, Su Yingxue also realized that Li Mu was extraordinary. She recalled what she had witnessed today and hesitantly asked Li Mu: "Among the people who came today, two of them are managers of Makino Technology, right?"
Li Mu nodded: "That's right."
Su Yingxue asked again: "They all call you Mr. Li. Isn't Makino Technology your company?"
Although Su Yingxue doesn't know much about the Internet industry, she still has heard about Makino Technology. After all, she is also a user of YY. She has some familiarity with it and knows that Makino Technology is now one of the strongest Internet companies in China. But before today, she had never She never thought that this company would have anything to do with Li Mu, but after meeting Lin Qingya and Kong Lingyu today, she was vaguely aware of the relationship between Makino Technology and Li Mu. However, this was too unimaginable, and she was still dissatisfied. I'm sure.
Li Mu knew that Su Yingxue would ask him this question sooner or later, so he nodded slightly and said to her: "I made Makino Technology. I didn't expect it to be so big at first, so I never told anyone. I just didn’t expect that Makino Technology would go so smoothly in the future. It developed so fast that even I couldn’t recover. During this time, I have been thinking about how to tell you, including me. Everyone else, including my parents.”
Although Su Yingxue was 80% sure that Makino Technology was Li Mu's company, when Li Mu said it himself, it still shocked her so much that she didn't react or say a word for a long time.
Li Mu tried to explain to himself again, but he couldn't bear it. It was indeed his fault at the beginning, but as his career grew bigger and bigger, the truth became more and more shocking. Now Makino Technology has become an Internet He is a giant in the industry, but it is indeed difficult for people to understand and accept his identity as a twenty-year-old college student.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Mu said, "I'm sorry, this matter is my fault. I should have told you and other people around me as soon as possible."
Su Yingxue shook her head gently: "No need to apologize, I understand your approach..."
Li Mu sighed and said, "I'll tell you in detail tonight."
Su Yingxue nodded, hummed, and said no more. Instead, she lowered her head and was thoughtful.
…
Li Mu brought Su Yingxue to the hotel. Zhang Guorong and others had been chatting for a long time. After Li Mu arrived, Chen Kaige and his wife, Ge You, and Gong Li all seemed very enthusiastic. The six of them were waiting for Li Mu and Su Yingxue, and they just ordered some The cold dishes were not started yet. Li Mu apologized for being late, but did not take into account what happened today.
Director Chen and others first reminisced with Zhang Guorong and deliberately talked about some interesting things during the filming. Then the topic gradually turned to Makino Technology and Taobao. Director Chen said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, the current influence of Makino Technology It’s really too big. I heard that Makino Image is now preparing to shoot two movies. With YY as a powerful promotion channel, I’m afraid it won’t be a problem if the box office exceeds 100 million.”
The words "box office over 100 million" surprised Ge You and Gong Li. Although they are both first-line actors, neither of them has participated in a movie with a box office of over 100 million.
These days, it is extremely difficult for a movie to reach 100 million at the box office. Since 2000, only two movies have achieved this figure, one is "Life and Death" in 2000, and the other is the 2001 imported movie "Pearl Harbor" , "Hero", which has generated a domestic box office of 250 million, will not be released until the end of the year. Almost none of Feng Xiaogang's Lunar New Year films have exceeded 50 million in box office. These days, no matter how good a director in China is, he dare not expect to earn more than 100 million. The box office, but Chen Kaige said that Makino Imaging's two movies that have not yet started filming can have a box office of over 100 million, which made them both a little unbelievable.
However, for Director Chen, although he has not released a film of this level since Farewell My Concubine, he is still keenly aware of the potential influence of Makino Technology. If a film wants to have a good box office, in addition to its own quality, it must be high enough. In addition, promotion is also a very important part. The current movie box office is generally sluggish, and the budget for movie investment is generally low. The budget that can be used for publicity is pitifully small, and the box office will naturally be greatly restricted, but Makino Technology is different. It can convey the message it wants to convey to the youngest and most fashionable people in the country anytime and anywhere. This is an ability that even TV stations do not have, and the box office of movies depends on these young and fashionable consumer groups. , so he is very optimistic about the prospects of Makino Image.
Li Mu showed a very humble attitude towards Director Chen's estimate, and said with a smile: "Director Chen really thinks highly of me. The mainland's box office is still in the stage of development. I can't think of a movie with a box office of over 100 million." It’s so difficult, Makino Imaging has only invested in two small-production films this year, and we can’t even imagine a box office of over 100 million.”
Director Chen smiled and said: "What the hell, Brother Li, you are so humble. You invited Liu Tianwang to one of your films. How can this be called a small production? The total investment of a film I am about to release is less than Liu Tianwang. The king’s salary is high.”
"Oh, really?" Li Mu asked curiously, "Does Director Chen have any dramas coming up this year?"
Director Chen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It's a real small production with a total investment of less than 10 million, but I'm still very optimistic about it personally. The title of the film is "With You". It's a warm film. Nine It will be released on the 20th of the month.”
With that said, Director Chen looked at the beautiful wife beside him and said to Li Mu: "My wife and I both star in this film."
Director Chen's wife Chen Hong also smiled and nodded: "We each played a supporting role in it."
Li Mu nodded. He tried his best to search in his mind. He didn't seem to have seen this movie. Hearing the name, he immediately thought of the song "With You" by Li Zhi. After listening to Director Chen briefly introduce the plot, Li Mu said with great interest: "It does sound very good."
Director Chen smiled modestly and said: "I am personally more optimistic about Fu, but I don't know if it meets your vision. If you are interested, I will arrange a trial screening for you another day, and you can comment on it."
Li Mu guessed Chen Kaige's intention and immediately said: "That's great. I was very interested after hearing your introduction." After saying that, Li Mu deliberately added: "If it is released on September 20, it will be released on September 20th. I will try my best to help you arrange a promotion on YY."
What Chen Kaige wanted was Li Mu's words, but he was too embarrassed to say them out loud when they first met, so he proposed to arrange a trial screening specifically for Li Mu. Then he would make this request to Li Mu and even pay for it. No matter what, he never dreamed that Li Mu would offer it so readily, which made him overjoyed.
In fact, Li Mu's idea is also very simple. YY's pop-up windows can be controlled at 2-3 times a day, so this resource is quite abundant. It is not a big deal to give it to him once. It is also of great benefit to him. Before the movie he has invested in is released, he also wants to show his influence in the film and television industry in advance. If YY can help Chen Kaige push up the box office, it will be able to show a living example to the film and television industry.
However, Li Mu himself had some concerns. He had heard about Director Chen's characteristics in his previous life. Putting aside everything else, pride was definitely a big problem. Although he had never heard of the movie "With You", But since he has no impression, he can basically prove from the side that its box office will definitely be a hit. In this case, he can't help him before the movie is released. In that case, he may take all the credit for the box office to himself. The best way is to wait for it to be released for a few days. After showing the film's weakness at the box office, Makino Technology can give it a push. In this case, if there is an improvement in the box office, people in the industry will be able to see it at a glance. It’s because of Makino Technology.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Li Mu did not say anything. First, he did not say that he would give it to him, and secondly, he did not say when he would give it.
