Chapter 1133 Spielberg Comes to China

In fact, Li Mu didn't have a good impression of Harvey. He always felt that this kind of person violated his mainstream values. Harvey is a person who likes to show authority. There is no shortage of black-box operations, and there are even some things like cheating and selling dog meat for money. Not to mention cooperation with such people, even making ordinary friends is a little worrying, and I always feel that if I turn my head, I will be sold by him. .

Harvey's attitude towards meeting Li Mu was very sincere. He knew Li Mu's situation and the gap between himself and him. If someone was in the United States, he would contact Li Mu directly and say that he wanted to meet. It would be too polite and sincere, so he You can only come first, after coming to Huaxia, and then saying that you have already arrived, I have come all the way to meet Li Mu, and see if Li Mu will see him for this sake.

After Li Mu received this news, he refused Harvey's request to meet with almost no entanglement, because this person was really of little use to Li Mu.

If Li Mu wants to go to Hollywood to open a film and television company, find directors, actors, make movies, and earn box office, then looking for Harvey can basically solve all problems in one stop. After all, he is an old fritter in the industry. Familiar, but Li Mu is not ready to go to Hollywood to start with the most basic content. This kind of thing can be directly packaged and acquired by ready-made film and television companies. What he really wants to do is to control Hollywood!

Li Mu's plan for the future of Hollywood is to first use the ticketing system to take the box office share into his arms, and then use the box office resources to expand downstream, that is, invest in and acquire theater chains by himself, and hold the theater chain in his hands.

When the ticketing system and theater chain become the climate, the combined influence will not be underestimated. At that time, the influence will be released to the entire upstream. If you can understand the upstream, and then cooperate with capital operations, you can directly control the entire upstream. Hollywood.

Under this huge structure, even though Harvey has a great influence in Hollywood, in Li Mu's eyes, he is still 108,000 miles away from himself, and he is not an ideal partner at all.

He had traveled thousands of miles to Harvey in Huaxia. He didn't expect Li Mu to directly reject his request to meet. He was in a dilemma for a while. He didn't have Li Mu's contact information. The mood of meeting Li Mu.

However, for the employees of Muye Imaging, as long as Li Mu said nothing, they would never ask Li Mu a second time, so no matter how Harvey asked them for help, or asked them to pass the word, they just ignored him.

Seeing that there was no effect, Harvey suddenly became anxious. The reason why he came all the way to worship the pier was to get the Muying ticketing system. I didn't expect that Li Mu would not even give him a chance to worship the pier.

However, Harvey is not a person who gives up easily. He gave up all his work and went to Huaxia. If he didn't see Li Mu, he would not be willing to go back like this, so he thought about it, whether there was anyone who could be at this critical moment. Help yourself to mediate between Li Mu, let's not talk about whether things can be done or not, at least let yourself meet with Li Mu.

Harvey thought about it for a long time. Among the people he knew, Spielberg was the only one who could mediate with Li Mu for him. After all, he had successfully invited Li Mu to his dinner party, which proved that he was with Li Mu. Li Mu has a certain personal relationship.

Thinking of this, Harvey immediately called Spielberg, and at this time, Spielberg, who was one step behind Harvey, just landed in Yanjing.

The moment Spielberg landed, he immediately called Li Mu first, just avoiding Harvey's call.

Li Mu had previously exchanged phone numbers with Tage at Spielberg's charity dinner, but since returning to China, the two have not contacted each other. Seeing the prompt on the phone, Li Mu immediately smiled knowingly and answered the call.

Before Spielberg could speak, he already knew the purpose of Spielberg's call.

I introduced him to the Muying ticketing system before, but he may not have understood it very well, or he may have said it a bit abstractly. At that time, Spielberg was not really interested, but this time, Li Mu took advantage of it. The Muying ticketing system was stabbed out by dozens of film and television companies, and the overseas publicity strategy matched it, so that the Muying ticketing system gained great attention and recognition in the West in a short period of time. Spielberg certainly did not. Exceptions will be made.

Therefore, Li Mu felt that Spielberg's call this time must also be for the Muying ticketing system.

Li Mu asked with a smile, "Director Spielberg, why do you have time to call me?"

Spielberg's voice came: "Hello, Mr. Li, I'm calling to say hello. Is everything going well recently?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's been pretty good recently, how about you?"

"I'm fine too." Spielberg said with a smile: "I'm currently preparing a new play, which may be filmed in China, so I came to see it myself, just thinking that I haven't seen you for a long time, so I want to be with you. Make an appointment to meet and talk about the past."

"Oh? Are you in Huaxia?"

"That's right, I'm in Yanjing now." Spielberg finished, and added: "By the way, I'm going to let Annie play the heroine in the new play, so this time she came with me to get acquainted in advance. Take a look at the Huaxia environment, and feel the charm of Chinese by the way, just as she also said she wanted to meet you."

Spielberg's heart sank after saying this.

He really doesn't want to lie, especially dragging a 20-year-old girl to lie with him, but this matter is too important to him, he can only use the safest method, because he has no respect for Li Mu either. I'm not familiar with it, I'm not sure whether the cooperation model Li Mu said at the beginning was sincere or casual. Now that I want to cooperate with him, if I communicate directly on the phone, once the other party's desire to cooperate is not so strong, I can find any reason and I can talk to him on the phone. In the past, and if you talk face-to-face, the chances of negotiating are much greater.

Spielberg didn't want his motives to come to Huaxia to be exposed too clearly, so he used the excuse of surveying and framing, pretending to catch up with Li Mu by the way, and talk about Muying's ticketing system after meeting.

And bringing Anne Hathaway over, Spielberg also had a layer of consideration. When talking about this system, Anne Hathaway was also there. If she was in front of Anne Hathaway with Li Mu Speaking of this matter, with her at the scene, Li Mu, a man, would definitely not deny it or go back on his word. With Anne Hathaway by his side, it definitely has the effect of a buff.

It is normal in the film and television industry for a director to framing and field investigation for his own film, and the stage of reconnaissance and framing is the preparatory stage of the film. This process is still in the initial stage of the start of the film project, and the outside world rarely hears rumors. , Even if you hear the wind, you may not understand the specific script and shooting plan, so Spielberg's rhetoric is not a problem.

It doesn't matter if you don't make a movie in Huaxia in the end, as long as you find a better choice when framing the scene, so you give up on Huaxia, and no one can fault it.

And Spielberg also thought about it, if Li Mu can really take out the Muying ticketing system and cooperate with him in North America, then he will really come to China to make a movie, and he will have to make a movie when he makes it. Pull Li Mu and Li Mu's Makino image to work together, so as to deepen the cooperative relationship and bind each other.

If it wasn't for the fact that Li Mu had been paying close attention to Spielberg in his previous life, Li Mu could barely believe half of his rhetoric, but because Li Mu knew him very well, he could even be said to be his fan, so Li Mu didn't believe him at all.

The reason is very simple. Li Mu knew that Spielberg had never made a movie in China in the follow-up except for the "Empire of the Sun" filmed in China in the 1980s. He has now finished filming "A Game of Cat and Mouse". ", the next movie is "Happy Terminal" which was released in 2004, which has nothing to do with Huaxia, so Spielberg now says that there is a new movie to be shot in Huaxia, which is just lying with his eyes open.

This is the advantage of the reborn. Li Mu even understands many of his next moves better than Spielberg. At this time, when Spielberg lied to Li Mu, Li Mu can see through it at a glance.

After seeing through his lies, Li Mu realized that he came to Huaxia this time for his Muying ticketing system.

The film market in North America is so mature and the Internet is so mature, but there is only a lack of products that can integrate the Internet and the film and television industry. Therefore, once the Muying ticketing system is launched in North America, it will definitely achieve great success. He is just a successful director and a successful businessman, so he must be able to see the profit margins behind this system.

Although Li Mu felt a little helpless when he was so old and still lied, on the whole, he was more inclined to cooperate with people like Spielberg, because he not only has business acumen, but also has strong influence and influence. Artistic attainments, and there is no black history on the whole, it is much more reassuring to cooperate with such people than to cooperate with Harvey.

So Li Mu didn't break his lies, and said with a smile: "You all came to China? That's really great. I must follow the customs of China to clean up the dust for you."

Speaking of which, Li Mu changed the subject and sighed, "But Director Spielberg, I'm not in Yanjing right now, you can do your business first, and we'll get together when you're done."

Spielberg breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Mu say that he was going to take care of himself. No matter what the outcome was, as long as he could meet Li Mu face to face and Anne Hathaway was there, he would have a much greater chance of success. I am afraid that there is no chance to meet, in that case, the success rate will be greatly reduced.

But he just gave that breath, and then he was made nervous by Li Mu's words: Are people not in Yanjing? Wait until you're done with business and get together again? Where did I come from? My business is to see you, my brother!
