Chapter 1245 Assistant Director
There was one more person on the business jet returning to Yanjing than when it came. Liu Xinxin, who was going to stay in Shanghai for a few days, temporarily changed his plan and rushed back to Yanjing with Li Mu's business jet.
The reason why she is so anxious is that the launch of the "Veterans Don't Die" project is imminent. She has to rush back to Yanjing to help Li Mu build up the team, and at the same time start the publicity plan for "Veterans Don't Die".
The charity project of veterans not dying is of great significance, and in Li Mu's words, if charity is prioritized, then veterans must be the most urgent and the most important one, because those who have fought bloody battles in wars and have gone through more than fifty years of peace The veterans are now weather-beaten and have entered their dying years, and the veterans of World War II are a non-renewable group, so help for them must be launched as soon as possible.
The first stage of veterans not dying will cooperate with the filming of the "Flying Tigers" movie. First, they will search for the surviving Chinese Flying Tigers across the country, and then follow up, interview and rescue them, and report to the whole society at any time. , let these old Flying Tigers enter the public eye, and at the same time convey the core values of veterans to the national audience. With the continuous brewing of the film and the continuous exposure of the veterans, I believe the public will definitely re-aware When it comes to the greatness of what the veterans have done to this country and this nation, at that time, it will be a matter of course to appeal to the whole society to pay attention to all the veterans of World War II.
The film "Flying Tigers" is about to start shooting in the United States. Spielberg is preparing to take the Hollywood team to shoot the shots in the United States, and at the same time, he sent his production team to start selecting locations in China and setting up shooting locations. After the filming of the scenes in the United States is finished, the team will rush to Huaxia directly, and then the follow-up highlights will be filmed.
Li Mu's idea is to maximize the trump card of "Flying Tigers". He must use YY's information distribution capabilities and the influence of these big-name stars to continuously expose the production progress of this movie in China and create hot topics at the same time. , so that the audience has been paying attention. On this basis, let the social public welfare action such as "Veteran Never Die-Looking for the Surviving Flying Tigers" use the powerful influence of the movie to promote this public welfare activity, and at the same time let it and The movies themselves pull on each other, forming a mutually reinforcing binding mechanism.
Regarding this point, Li Mu revealed some of his thoughts to Liu Xinxin on the plane: "You should hurry up and implement the team, and at the same time start publicity planning and material preparation, and then send staff and reporters to search for the surviving Flying Tigers. While coordinating with Hollywood, after the Hollywood team arrives in China, arrange for Spielberg to take all the leading actors from China and the United States to visit these surviving Flying Tigers, and create a "Flying Tigers" actor to emulate the historical prototype For the tribute event, when the time comes, we will call all the media that can be called to make the momentum bigger."
Liu Xinxin nodded immediately and said, "I still have a very good relationship with the media, and I have very good personal relationships with many friends in the media industry."
After speaking, she realized that Li Mu's media relations were probably much better than her own, so she said humbly: "But compared with Mr. Li, it must be nothing compared to the big one."
"In fact, I don't have much contact with the media. If it's about personal relationships, I can't compare with you. Therefore, in the future, the media resources will need you to sort out and maintain them."
A real celebrity may seldom show her face, but she knows a lot of people who show her face all day long. For someone like Liu Xinxin who has strong contacts in the second-generation circle, the media circle and the fashion circle, she herself has With a very strong promotion ability, although Li Mu has a good relationship with the media, it is impossible to do everything by himself after all, so it is indeed the most suitable choice to have someone like Liu Xinxin to help.
...
Back in Yanjing, Li Mu immediately arranged for financial personnel from Muye Technology, Taobao Technology, and Alipay to meet with Liu Xinxin and let them deal with the specific issue of investing in the fund.
Enterprise investment is relatively troublesome, and there are many processes to go through, but Li Mu’s personal investment is much more convenient. All the money in his account is tax-paid income, which can be spent, transferred, invested and donated at will. subject to any restrictions.
Li Mu could rest assured that the project of "Old Soldiers Never Die" was handed over to Liu Xinxing, so he immediately made an appointment with Ning Hao to discuss some matters related to "Flying Tigers".
For Ning Hao, Li Mu trusts him very much, and he has always wanted to praise him. If "Crazy Stone" hadn't been suppressed by himself, he would have become famous in China by now, but this movie has always been popular. Pressing himself down, Ning Hao didn't say a word of objection, only for this point, Li Mu also felt owed to him.
Sometimes, leading people, leading teams, and leading partners means to have a sense of indebtedness, and you can’t always care about gains and losses. How much money he spent on himself, how much money he made for himself, whether he made money or lost money on him, If you are a leader with this mentality, you will not grow too far, and it is difficult to form a really strong and stable team;
On the contrary, if you can always have a kind of "debt warning" to the other party in your heart, always ask yourself in your heart, do I owe him anything, if so, make up for it quickly, if not, continue to be vigilant, then such a leader can truly We have a strong, stable, invincible, and immediate team.
During Li Mu's entrepreneurial career, he has been trying his best to maintain this kind of "deficiency warning" for all important employees and partners, so his core team can always remain stable. There has never been a core employee who has left, or Start all over again.
Just because of his debt to Ning Hao, Li Mu plans to pull him into the crew of "Flying Tigers" and arrange for him to be an assistant director, allowing him to experience and learn from the experience of top Hollywood teams.
Li Mu came to the office of Makino Imaging, and Ning Hao had been waiting here for a long time. Recently, the team of Makino Imaging is busy cooperating with the American team to build scenes and other preparations in the southwest, so the basic There are not many people left.
Seeing Li Mu, Ning Hao put his palms together and made a slight bow to Li Mu, and said with a smile on his face: "Boss, you really played a big event this time, which is unprecedented in China's film and television industry! The preparation of "Flying Tiger "Team" is such a huge production, many people in the domestic film and television industry have already regarded you as the leading brother in the future!"
Li Mu scolded with a smile: "Your mouth can talk nonsense all day long, and you still take the lead, brother, whose family's head I will take with you."
Ning Hao hurriedly said: "Don't believe me, the penetration rate of our current Muying ticketing system in domestic movie theaters has exceeded 60%, and the terminal machines are still in continuous production, and there are a lot of movie theaters all over the country waiting in line. , Now the number of domestic movie theaters applying to join the Muying ticketing system has accounted for 98.5% of the total. In two months, we will cover all the theaters across the country, and the box office of the whole country will be covered by us If you don’t establish a good relationship with us, you may not even be able to sell movie tickets, and now those directors are very aware of this, and this alone is enough to choke the lifeline of the film and television industry.”
Speaking of this, Ning Hao said again: "What's more, now this "Flying Tigers", after you and DreamWorks finished the press conference in Hollywood, the domestic film and television industry has exploded, which is equivalent to an initial budget of almost one billion yuan. With such a phenomenal publicity momentum, once this movie is released, it will definitely break the ceiling of our domestic box office record, and maybe the whole industry will become popular all at once!"
Li Mu smiled slightly: "It is possible to realize what you said, but the prerequisite is to make this movie well."
After finishing speaking, Li Mu looked at Ning Hao and asked him, "You don't have any new movie plans recently, do you?"
Ning Hao said with a smile: "I've been conceiving the script recently, but I'm slow in writing the script, and I haven't even finished the prototype yet, and I actually want to wait for the release of "Crazy Stone" to see the market response. If the market response is good If it’s not good, I will create the script of the new film according to its sequel; if the market response is not good, then I have to change the previous style.”
Li Mu waved his hand: "Let's write the sequel directly. I am confident that "Crazy Stone" will become popular."
As soon as the words were spoken, Li Mu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I didn't come to you to ask you to write a script, but to discuss something with you."
Ning Hao hurriedly said, "Boss, tell me."
Li Mu said: "A few things. First, don't arrange other work on hand recently, first find me a few more capable professional managers in the circle, and let me take care of the basic work of Muye Image In the future, our business line in film and television will continue to develop horizontally, and we need sufficient management and support."
"Understood, I will start looking for candidates today."
"Second, apply for a business visa to the United States. After everything is arranged here, you go to the United States, and Spielberg's team will start shooting in the United States first. As the film "Flying Tigers", you The assistant director, go there to cooperate with him, the main thing is to learn, and the second is to make preparations and coordinate for the next filming in Huaxia."
Ning Hao was taken aback, and after a while, he asked Li Mu excitedly: "Boss, you want me to be the assistant director of "Flying Tigers"?!"
Li Mu nodded: "You are the most suitable candidate."
"Thank you, boss!" Ning Hao suddenly became excited, and said, "It's really attractive to me to be able to contribute to this Chinese film that has never been seen before or since. I can't even dream of the learning experience of a top director like Berg..."
Li Mu said with a smile: "Don't be so anxious to be happy, how is your English?"
Ning Hao's expression instantly became awkward: "I know a little bit of English, but my spoken English is so bad that basically people who speak English can't understand my English..."
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll give you an interpreter, I'll go find it myself, I'll apply for a job immediately after I find it, and then I'll apply for a visa with you."
Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief in an instant: "Okay! Thank you, boss!"
