Chapter 1135

In a Chaozhou beef hotpot shop in Shenzhen, Li Mu looks at the skinny old Jewish man in front of him, and he is amused.

Spielberg's body condition was very bad at first sight, and his complexion was very bad. Ten hours of flight had just landed and he had not taken care of the rest. He waited for more than two hours at the airport and flew for three hours to the Shenzhen market. Even the 20 year old Annne Hathaway could not afford to carry such a high-intensity continuous treadmill. Even the black eye could not cover the foundation, let alone the nearly sixty year old. Spielberg.

Li Mu is also a little surprised by Spielberg's efficiency. Just a few hours after the phone call, he has already landed in his own city. How urgent is the demand for such a rush to turn around.

Li Mu didn't meet them alone this time. He knew that senior brother Liu was also a fan of Spielberg, so he called him together.

Spielberg was tired and tired all the way, but her appetite was surprisingly good. She ate a lot of beef balls by hand, and her appetite was amazing. Anne Hathaway was a little shy all the way. Although her stomach was hungry, she was still trying to control her appetite.

Li Mu thought the hot pot was not to Anne Hathaway's taste, and deliberately asked her, "Anne, is this kind of food not used to eating?"

Anne Hathaway saw that Li Mu cared about herself. She was very happy. She said with some shyness, "no, it's delicious, but I haven't eaten much."

Li Mu nodded softly, but she was a little distressed. Anne Hathaway, who was young, must not be able to refuse Spielberg, an old movie elder. So she came to China with her. I don't know how Spielberg would repay her if she struggled so far.

So Li Mu deliberately pretended to be confused and asked Spielberg, "director Spielberg, what kind of movie are you going to make in China?"

Mr. Spielberg had just eaten a hand-made beef ball, and before he could chew it, he was a little shocked at this. He hurried to use his long thought out words and said, "Mr. Li, please call me Steven later. Don't call me Spielberg director every time. We are friends, aren't we?"

Li Mu nodded, "OK, Steven."

Spielberg then said: "in fact, I want to make a movie similar to the one about the magic soldiers, in which some Chinese culture and historical allusions are integrated, such as the famous first emperor of Qin Dynasty."

Li Mu said with a smile, "Steven, you've got the third part of the Raider series, haven't you?"

"Yes." "The third one is more than a decade ago," Spielberg lamented

Li Mu asked him, "when is your fourth film going to start?"

"It depends on Paramount's plan," Spielberg said, "but the overall pace of the Raiders series is slow, and the fourth one won't start until at least 2005."

Li Mu said with a smile, "it's better to start in advance. In this way, you don't have to make a movie that integrates Chinese culture. Instead, you just put the fourth part of the Raider under the framework of Chinese culture. What do you think?"

Spielberg seriously said: "frankly, I didn't make a decision on this matter, so I can't give you a clear statement, but I can communicate with paramount about what you said. If they are interested, I will have no problem."

Li Mu knew that Spielberg was only talking freely with himself when he came to China to make movies, so he deliberately said: "in this case, it's better for Steven to help me lead the line and see if paramount is interested in cooperating with my pastoral image. I can take the pastoral ticket system to cooperate with them in the North American market, as long as they are willing to come to China to make a few films I can give some concessions on the issue of CO financing and share holding. "

The reason why Li Mu said this is to put pressure on Spielberg in two aspects:

first, I told you verbally that I would cooperate with you with the animal husbandry film ticketing system, but you don't think that I have any obligation to you just because I said it verbally. I can fight back anytime and anywhere, even if Anne Hathaway is here;

Second, you Don't fool me about coming to China to make movies. Since you said that, you have to do it. Otherwise, you don't want to take away the ticket system from me. I'd rather use this system to exchange for other film and television companies to make movies in China, and you won't be fooled.

Spielberg was really in a hurry when he heard this. Before that, Li Mu said that he would cooperate with the film and film ticketing system. How could he take it as if he didn't say this at once and help him to get involved with paramount? In that case, what is it that I came to China for a long time?

So Spielberg asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, are you going to promote the pastoral film ticketing system in North America?"

Li mudian nodded: "this system is a huge innovation to the user's experience of watching movies and the management of the cinema box office. It has a strong impetus to the whole film and television industry. It should not only be promoted in China, but also in the whole world."Spielberg's heart is not very good. Li Mu obviously doesn't recognize what he said before. But from another perspective, Li Mu said it in a smooth way. He didn't see the actual products at that time, and just catered to them in a smooth way. There was no real agreement. Besides, who would really care about what he talked about?

Thinking of this, Spielberg felt that he could not hide like this, or Li Mu might ignore him directly in his heart, so he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Li, you said before, if I'm interested, we can do this system in North America together, I don't know what you think now?"

Li Muxin said yes, the ink finally got to the point for a long time, so he smiled lightly and said: "Steven, I'm not in North America, and my energy is not in North America, so if the pastoral film ticketing system wants to develop in North America, it must find a reliable partner to do it together, which is beyond doubt."

Spielberg nodded. "Yes, it's about trustworthy partners."

Li Mu added: "although the cooperation I want will be reflected in the capital level, what I am pursuing is not external capital to reduce my investment. This money is nothing to me or to Muye technology."

Spielberg continued to nod. The cooperation at the company level must be reflected in the capital relationship, such as how much a contributes, how much it accounts for, how much B contributes, and how much it accounts for. But for Li Mu, even if he looks for a partner, it's not to let the other party share the investment with him, but to hope that the other party can help him promote the system in North America He fully understands the development of the field.

At this time, Li Mu said: "Hollywood has many very powerful film and television companies, as well as many powerful producers and bigwigs. Including you, there are many suitable partners. However, I have my own set of criteria for how to select, which is why I refused Harvey's meeting request, the strength, relationship, contacts and influence of the other party Power is not the core requirement for me to select partners. "

Spielberg knew that Li Mu refused Harvey's request for a meeting, but he didn't know why Li Mu refused him.

Then he asked Li Mu, "Mr. Li, what are your requirements for partners? If it's convenient, let me know. "

Li Mu smiled and said, "I don't have too high requirements for the strength of partners. As I said just now, so many big Hollywood film and television companies, producers and celebrities actually meet my requirements in terms of resources and capabilities."

Speaking of this, Li Mu said: "my core requirement for partners is whether they can meet my needs at other levels."

"Other levels of demand?" Spielberg asked in surprise, "specifically, which level?"

Li Mu said seriously, "for example, you can come to China to make movies!"

"Come to China to make movies?!" Spielberg looked at Li Mu in surprise: "do you want your partner to come to China to make movies? What kind of movie do you make? "

Li Mu said with a smile: "there is no limit to the subject matter. I hope it is a movie that can be deeply combined with Chinese culture, Chinese history, Chinese development and Chinese actors, so that the world can learn more about the advantages of China, re understand and understand the country of China. This kind of thing can not be done by any official or individual, but can be quickly realized through film and television works. ”

speaking of this, Li Mu said: "Steven, China's film industry is still very weak. No matter our market scale, enterprises in the industry, or the quality of employees, they are much worse than that of Hollywood. Most actors can't act, or they don't know how to act at all. Most directors can't make movies, most writers can't write scripts, and they are big Some film and television companies don't understand the market demand, which finally leads to most of the things they get. No one likes to watch them. But even so, they still think they can be compared with the big Hollywood directors. The screenwriters feel that they have controlled the audience demand and market demand. The actors feel that their acting skills are going to break through the sky, How can the industry achieve rapid development? "

"So, in my eyes, the animal husbandry and film ticketing system is nothing, and money is nothing. The international image of China and the rapid development of the film and television industry in China are what I care most about. Who will I cooperate with in North America in the future? In fact, it's very simple for me to cooperate with anyone who can help me in these two aspects. If you, Steven, are willing to cooperate with me, as long as you promise: you and your film and television company will open at least one movie related to China every year. I will not only give you 20% of the shares of the animal husbandry and film ticketing system in the North American market, but also the films you cast are related to China I can also invest 50% in the closed films and even guarantee the bottom line for you. If the films lose money, all the money lost will be mine! "
