Chapter 1135 Li Mu's Core Requirements

In a Chaozhou beef hot pot restaurant in Shenzhen, Li Mu looked at the slightly skinny old Jewish man in front of him and felt a little funny.

Spielberg's physical condition was very poor at first glance, and his complexion was also very bad. After flying for more than ten hours, he didn't have time to rest just after landing. He waited at the airport for more than two hours and flew for three hours. In Shenzhen, even 20-year-old Anne Hathaway couldn't handle such a high-intensity continuous trek. She couldn't even cover her dark circles with foundation, not to mention Spielberg, who was nearly 60 years old.

Li Mu was also a little surprised by Spielberg's efficiency. Just a few hours after the phone call, he had already landed in the city where he was located. How urgent the need was, so that he could be so anxious.

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

Spielberg was exhausted and exhausted all the way, but his appetite was surprisingly good. He ate a lot of beef balls with his hands, and the appetite was amazing. Anne Hathaway on the side was a little shy the whole time, although she was hungry and kept screaming. , but she has been trying her best to control the amount of food she eats.

Li Mu thought that this kind of hot pot did not suit Anne Hathaway's appetite, and asked her deliberately, "Annie, is this kind of food unaccustomed to?"

When Anne Hathaway saw that Li Mu actually cared about her, she felt a burst of joy in her heart, and said a little shyly, "No, no, it's delicious, but I've never been a big eater."

Li Mu nodded lightly, but felt a little distressed for the young Anne Hathaway. She definitely couldn't refuse Spielberg, an old film veteran, so she came all the way to China. I don't know what kind of return Spielberg will give her after such a long journey.

So Li Mu deliberately pretended to be confused and asked Spielberg, "Director Spielberg, what kind of movie are you going to shoot in Huaxia?"

Spielberg just ate a hand-beaten beef ball, and before he had time to chew it, he was slightly startled when he heard this, and hurriedly used the words he had already thought up, saying, "Mr. Li, please call me Steven in the future. , don't call me Director Spielberg every time, we're friends, aren't we?"

Li Mu nodded: "ok, Steven."

Spielberg then said: "Actually, I want to make a movie similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark, which incorporates certain Chinese culture and historical allusions, such as the famous Qin Shi Huang."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Steven, your Indiana Jones series should be the third film, right?"

"Yeah." Spielberg sighed: "The third part was more than ten years ago."

Li Mu asked him, "When will your fourth volume be ready to start?"''

Spielberg said: "It depends on Paramount's plan, but the overall pace of the Indiana Jones series is relatively slow, and the fourth installment will not start until at least 2005."

Li Mu said with a smile: "Then it's better to start it in advance, so that you don't have to make a movie that integrates Chinese culture, and simply put the fourth Indiana Jones movie under the framework of Chinese culture. ,what do you think?"

Spielberg said seriously: "To be honest, this matter is not my decision, so I can't give you a clear statement, but I can communicate with Paramount about what you said, if they feel If you're interested, I don't have any problems personally."

Li Mu knew in his heart that Spielberg was just talking to himself about the matter of coming to China to make a movie, so he deliberately said: "If this is the case, why don't Steven turn back and help me find a way to see if Paramount is interested in following up with him? My Muye Imaging cooperation, I can use the Muying ticketing system to cooperate with them in the North American market, as long as they are willing to come to Huaxia to make a few large-scale movies, integrate our thousands of years of history and civilization in China into Hollywood movies, let the whole country The world knows that I can make certain concessions on the issue of cooperative investment and shares."

The reason why Li Mu said so,

Just want to put pressure on Spielberg in two ways:

First, I told you verbally at the beginning that Namuying ticketing system will cooperate with you, but you should not feel that I have any obligation to you just because I have said it orally. Servi is useless here;

Second, don't fool me with the fact that Huaxia is making movies. Since you said it, you must do it. Otherwise, you don't want to take this ticketing system from me. I'd rather use this system in exchange for other movies and TV shows. The company will not let you fool when it comes to China to make movies.

Spielberg was really anxious when he heard this. Earlier, Li Mu said he wanted to cooperate with him in the Muying Ticketing System. In that case, what is it that you have come to Huaxiatu from thousands of miles away?

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

Li Mu nodded: "This system is a huge innovation for users' viewing experience and box office management in theaters, and it has greatly promoted the entire film and television industry. It should not only be promoted in China, but should be promoted all over the world. promotion within the scope.”

Spielberg was not very happy. Li Mu clearly did not recognize what he had said before, but thinking about it from another angle, Li Mu just mentioned it casually at that time, because he did not see the actual product at that time. I just catered to a sentence casually, and we didn't really reach an agreement at all. Besides, who would really take things to heart when talking about it orally?

Thinking of this, Spielberg felt that he could no longer be so secretive, otherwise Li Mu might just ignore himself, so he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Li, you said earlier that if I am interested, We can work together to make this system in North America, what do you think now?"

Li Muxin said yes, Moji finally talked about the topic after a long time, so he smiled lightly and said, "Steven, I am not in North America, and my energy is not in North America, so if the Muying ticketing system is to be developed in North America, it must be There is no doubt about finding a reliable partner to do it together.”

Spielberg nodded: "Yes, it is necessary to have a trusted partner."

Li Mu added: "Although the cooperation I want will be reflected at the capital level, I am not pursuing external capital to reduce my investment. This amount of money is not only for me, but also for Muye Technology. Nothing."

Spielberg continued to nod. Cooperation at the company level must be reflected in capital relations, such as how much a contributes and how much of the shares, and how much is invested by b and how much of the shares, but for Li Mu, he Even if he finds a partner, it is not for the other party to share the investment with him, but to hope that the other party can help him promote the development of this system in the North American market, which he fully understands.

At this time, Li Mu added: "There are many very powerful film and television companies in Hollywood, as well as many powerful producers and big names, including you, there are many suitable partners, but how to choose, I have myself A set of standards, which is why I rejected Harvey's request to meet, the other party's strength, relationship, contacts and influence are not the core requirements for me to select a partner."

Spielberg knew that Li Mu had rejected Harvey's request to meet, but he didn't know why Li Mu had rejected him.

Immediately, he asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, what are your requirements for your partner? If it's convenient, you can tell me."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "I don't have too high requirements on the strength of my partners. As I said just now, there are so many big film and television companies, producers and big names in Hollywood, in fact, in terms of resources, they all meet my requirements. "

Speaking of this, Li Mu changed his words and said, "My core requirement for a partner is whether he can meet my needs at other levels."

"Needs at other levels?" Spielberg asked in surprise: "What are the levels to be more specific?"

Li Mu said seriously: "For example, if you can come to China to make a movie!"

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

Li Mu said with a smile: "There are no restrictions on the subject matter. I hope it is a movie that can be deeply integrated with China's culture, China's history, China's development, and China's actors, so that the world can learn more about China's advantages, and re-understand and understand China. The country, this kind of thing, no official or individual can do it, only through film and television works can quickly achieve it.”

Speaking of which, Li Mu said surprisingly formally: "Steven, China's film industry is still very weak, whether it is our market size, industry companies, or the quality of employees, they are all much worse than Hollywood, and most actors do not. They can act, or they don’t know how to act at all. Most directors can’t make movies, most screenwriters can’t write scripts, and most film and television companies don’t understand market demand. In the end, most of the things they come up with are not liked by anyone. , but even so, they are still self-righteous, the director thinks that he can compete with the big Hollywood directors, the screenwriter feels that he has a perfect control over the audience's needs and market demand, and the actors feel that their acting skills are going to break through the sky. How can the industry go on like this? to achieve rapid development?"

"So, in my eyes, Muying's ticketing system is nothing at all, and money is nothing. Huaxia's international image and the rapid development of Huaxia's film and television industry are what I care about the most. Who to cooperate with? It's actually very simple. Whoever can help in these two aspects, I will cooperate with whomever. If you Steven is willing to cooperate with me, as long as you promise: you and the film and television company under your name will open at least annual openings. For a movie related to Huaxia, a movie with an investment of intermediate level or above, I will not only give you 20% of the shares of the Muying Ticketing System in the North American market, but I can also invest 50% of the movies you voted for in the movie related to China, or even Guarantee for you, if the movie loses money, all the lost part is mine!"
