Chapter 324 Let’s get married and break the ceiling
Not long after the release of "Happy Death Day" and "Going to Meet You Now", Li Mu and Liu Yifei went to the United States to film "The Hunger Games 3". While chatting on the plane, the two unknowingly talked about "The Deer and the Cauldron" superior.

The reason was that while waiting for the flight, Liu Yifei saw a hot search on the Internet, the content was "What if Hua Shang came to film "The Deer and the Cauldron"". Driven by curiosity, she clicked on it, and found that so many people thought that if she had to do it again, If "The Deer and the Cauldron" is to be filmed, it would be best for Li Mu to do it.

At first, Liu Yifei thought it was netizens' recognition of her husband's strength, and she was quite happy. What woman doesn't want her husband's abilities to be recognized by most people?But after taking a closer look, I found that it was not the case at all. It turned out that the reason why netizens thought Li Mu was suitable was entirely because Huashang Media had so many beauties.

Netizens said this: Wei Xiaobao has seven wives, Huashang Media has four new actresses, in addition to Tong Liya, Dili Reba, Jin Chen, Song Yi, Li Yitong and a series of first-line or quasi-first-line beauties. , by the way, there is also the boss’s wife and the fairy sister Liu Yifei. You see, with such a casual collection, wouldn’t Wei Xiaobao’s seven wives be enough?

The new four little actresses plus Tong Liya make it five. The proprietress Liu Yifei must play the most beautiful Ake among the seven wives. This makes six wives. Then choose one from Jin Chen, Song Yi, Reba, Li Yitong and others. , aren’t these seven wives enough?
Then netizens said: Now that we have seven wives, and it is obviously the most luxurious lineup in history, Wei Xiaobao's selection can't be too bad, right?So who should play Wei Xiaobao to be worthy of this wife lineup?That can only be Li Mu himself!
What else can be done?After playing the role of the Divine Condor in the past few years, Liu Yifei no longer likes "The Deer and the Cauldron". If she wants her to play A Ke, then Li Mu must come to Wei Xiaobao in person!
This topic is very hot, and is being discussed on Weibo, Tieba, Hupu, etc. In the end, after many discussions, we finally came up with the candidate with the most approval:
Li Mu plays Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao's eldest wife Su Quan uses Gao Yuanyuan.

The most loyal wife uses white soldiers.

The most beautiful wife A Ke must of course be the proprietress Liu Yifei.

The most unruly and willful wife, Princess Jianning, everyone agreed that Yang Mi was suitable.

The most rebellious wife, Fang Yi, is named Tong Liya. Tong is often said to have a bitter look on her face, and Fang Yi happens to be the same.

The most invisible little transparent wife Zeng Rou and Zhao Liying.

The most innocent, smart and lovely wife, the little princess Mu Jianping, is Song Yi.

Liu Yifei almost played A Ke back then, so she was quite interested in this topic. She was smiling when she first discussed it with Li Mu, until she asked Li Mu a question: "What do you think of Wei Xiaobao?" Sample?"

Liu Yifei asked what Wei Xiaobao's character was like, and how did Li Mu respond:
"I'm so happy to have seven beautiful wives."

After hearing this, Liu Yifei looked up at Li Mu and saw Li Mu's fascinated expression. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Li Mu's waist.

"Ha, you're very envious, aren't you? Director Li must feel like it's a shame to only marry me, right?"

Only then did Li Mu realize what he was doing, so he smiled and took Liu Yifei into his arms: "What a loss? It's really a shame that I have to marry seven people. One husband is enough for me in this life."

Liu Yifei wasn't really angry. Li Mu hugged her here, and she immediately leaned on Li Mu's shoulder: "You don't have to make up lies to coax me. In fact, I understand everything."

Li Mu leaned close to her ear and whispered: "What I said is true. My old kidneys can't bear it if you are the only one. If you marry seven of them, my two kidneys will still be dead!"

The smile on Liu Yifei's face suddenly dropped, and then he gave Li Mu a hard slap on the waist.

In fact, this incident is just a small episode. Of course, it is impossible for Li Mu to really play Wei Xiaobao. His main job is a director, and he can play any role by himself when he is full. It is even more impossible for Liu Yifei to play A Ke. "The Deer and the Cauldron" already has many excellent versions such as Chen Xiaochun, Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei, etc. Li Muchian has to worry about making a version for netizens to criticize. Besides, although his acting skills are good, overall he is more suitable for those roles. For a more serious role, if he was asked to play Wei Xiaobao, he was afraid that Wei Xiaobao would be cast as a monkey and that he would be in danger later in life.

Speaking back to China.

"Happy Death Day" and "I'm Going to Meet You Now" are two films that are really inseparable. Today you surpass them by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and tomorrow they will surpass you by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. In short, they just can't be separated. The distance, however, just kept the popularity of the two movies at a high level. It was not until the release of "Heart Blossoms" starring Xu Zheng and Huang Bo that the limelight of the two movies was finally overshadowed by the new movie.

"Heart Blossoms" is indeed a high-quality comedy film, but its groundbreaking publicity and distribution work also played a crucial role in its previous life's success in ranking second in the year.

Maoyan Films' first attempt at publicity, the first time it advanced the pre-sale time of a movie to half a month, and the first time it conducted a large-scale ticket replenishment for a released movie - starting from "The Flowers of the Heart", the people of China have Movie tickets priced at 9.9 or lower were generally accepted, and at the time, these were simply earth-shattering operations.

However, all these operations in this life were learned in advance by Li Mu, which resulted in the promotion of "Heart Blossom Road Release" in this life being much mediocre compared to the previous life. However, it is not a loss. After so many years of hard work by Li Mu, now The audience size and screen size in Mainland China are far greater than those in the same period in the previous life. This means that for the same movie, the box office in this time and space in 2014 must be higher than that in the same time and space in the original time and space.

"Heart Blossoms" took in a box office of 1.2 million on its first day, while the box office of "Original Time and Space" on its first day was 1.03 million. Li Mu made most domestic films earn more money than "The Original Time and Space", but it is a pity that this achievement was not achieved. People know that, but many people think that Hua Shang is a huge mountain above the entertainment industry, making everyone unable to breathe, and Li Mu has no way to deal with his grievances.

On the other hand, no matter how difficult it is to win or lose between "Happy Death Day" and "Go See You Now", they will eventually win or lose, even if the difference is very small.

The final mainland box office of "Happy Death Day" was 10.47 billion yuan, and "Go to See You Now" was 11.08 billion yuan. After all, it was Liu Shishi who won Yang Mi. According to the agreement, Liu Shishi will be the star of Huashang's next film "My" Lin Zhenxin, the heroine of "Girls' Generation", while Yang Mi will play the school beauty Tao Minmin.

Yang Mi's fans are all complaining about Yang Mi. Yes, Liu Shishi did win in the mainland, but won't the international market watch?
"Happy Death Day" has a box office of US$5568 million in North America and a total of US$1.2 million overseas. Adding in the mainland's US$10.47 billion, which is equivalent to US$1.73 million, the global box office of "Happy Death Day" is US$2.93 million. What about "Going to See You Now"?

Overseas, it performed well in South Korea. In the end, the total total was only 3100 million U.S. dollars, and the global total was 2.14 million U.S. dollars, which was a full 7800 million U.S. dollars less than "Happy Death Day". In the end, Damimi lost to Liu Shishi As a supporting role?

Many people think it's unfair, but this is the rule - whoever has the highest box office in the Mainland wins!

After the dust settled, Liu Shishi was in a very good mood, and she also felt that Li Mu was actually more biased towards her. Otherwise, why would it be limited to box office in the mainland?Even ordinary netizens know that "Happy Death Day" was a film with international market ambitions from the beginning, not to mention that Yang Mi's starring role in "Shark Beach" has already made her famous overseas.

Yang Mi was not in a very good mood. She was only a little bit short of winning, so she might as well lose a little more. The bigger the gap, the less likely she would be, not to mention having to play a supporting role for Liu Shishi.The most irritating thing is that she even thought of rejecting the supporting role in "My Girlhood" even though her global box office was obviously higher, but after she calmed down, she immediately congratulated Liu Shishi on Weibo. Firstly, she can win the favor of ordinary netizens. Secondly, and most importantly, she can't let Li Mu have any opinion about her.

The plan was proposed by Li Mu and she accepted it voluntarily. If she lost, she would not admit it. How would Li Mu look at her then?If Li Mu has an opinion about her, will it be her turn in the future no matter how good the company's resources are?

In October, Huashang sold two dramas. One was "Wuxin Master" starring Chen Kuai, Zhang Ruoyun, Jin Chen, Chen Yao and others. This drama has a total of 5000 episodes and the total production cost is 250 million, which is [-] million. Episode, for a web drama, this cost is almost the ceiling.

In the end, the company doubled the cost and sold it to Souhu Video, which was still wealthy for the time being. The contract amount was 1 million, or 500 million per episode.

An online drama can be sold for 500 million per episode. Huashang Media has undoubtedly once again set a new ceiling for copyright transactions in the mainland.

In addition, let me explain that in the original time and space, the male protagonist of "Wuxin Master" was Han Dongjun, but in this time and space, it was replaced by Chen Kuai. Han Dongjun is not an artist of Hua Shang. It is unlikely that Hua Shang would ask him to play Wu Xin and then let his own Zhang Ruoyun act as his voice actor. To play the role of Zhang Xianzong, he had no choice but to choose from his own artists. In the end, Li Mu personally made the decision to play Chen Kuai.

An interesting thing is that many people are familiar with Jin Chen, and many people have also watched "Wuxin Master", but many people who are familiar with Jin Chen and have watched "Wuxin Master" have not noticed that Jin Chen is actually Starring in "Wuxin Master".

Then there is the issue of the copyright transaction for "Let's Get Married."

As a TV series starring Li Mu and Liu Yifei, and also starring Gao Yuanyuan, Bai Bing, etc., it is impossible for "Let's Get Married" not to be competed by all parties.

The whole country knows that "Let's Get Married" is the TV series Li Mu filmed to propose to Liu Yifei. Then on the day the TV series was completed, Li Mu officially proposed to Liu Yifei.

On the final day, Li Mu even sang eleven marriage proposal songs specially composed for Liu Yifei, which is the album "Let's Get Married" whose total sales have exceeded 500 million.

Not long after the TV series was completed, Li Mu gave Liu Yifei the wedding of the century.

In short, this TV series has been connected with Li Mu and Liu Yifei, as well as their love and wedding. It has a special meaning, and the success of the TV series has been well known to the whole people before it is released.

How many viewers across the country are eagerly waiting to see the true appearance of this TV series with special significance?At this time, any TV station and video website platform that still has some ambitions will not want to win this drama.

Will Li Mu and Liu Yifei star in TV series in the future?

Liu Yifei may still have a chance, but Li Mu's chance of returning is very slim. The chance of Li Mu and Liu Yifei co-starring in a TV series is almost zero, so this one will be her swan song.

Therefore, various TV stations and video websites are trying to win the copyright of this drama at any cost.

Everyone wants it, so the one with the highest price can only get it, but there is no generational difference in the strength of the leading TV stations. It makes no sense that if you can afford it, the other party can’t afford it, so in the end, everyone naturally leaves together. Buy the road.

2014年4月广电已经正式出台“一剧两星”政策，不过政策正式生效还要等到2015年的1月1日，因而《咱们结婚吧》自然而然就成了国内“一剧四星”时代最华丽的落幕。

Beijing TV, Suzhou TV, Dragon TV, and Zhejiang TV finally won the first round of rights to "Let's Get Married" at a price of 230 million for each episode, and then sold them to the second, third, and fourth rounds. This part sold another 150 million episodes to other satellite TV and terrestrial stations, and the total price of a single episode sold to TV stations reached 1070 million.

The online copyright of "Let's Get Married" was sold to Tencent Video, iQiyi Video, Youku Video and Souhu Video, each with 260 million episodes, so the total online copyright of the TV series is 1040 million episodes.

All video websites are struggling to get off the ground. The other three major platforms have resources, but you don’t. So why do netizens want you to be a member?
So if everyone has the copyright, it means no one has it?
NO NO NO!
If others have it but you don’t have it, that is to successfully eliminate yourself!
The total of the TV station part plus the online copyright part is 2110 million episodes. "Let's Get Married" has a total of 50 episodes, with a total contract price of 10.55 billion yuan.

There is no doubt that "Let's Get Married" has once again set a new record for the highest copyright transaction price in mainland China. The total copyright price of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is said to be 13.5 billion yuan, but its total number of episodes is as high as 87. In terms of unit price, The Original Space and Time The price of a single episode of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is less than 1500 million, and "Let's Get Married" is already a ceiling even if placed in later generations of the original time and space.

After the copyright deal was concluded, netizens with good intentions settled the accounts for everyone.

It is now generally accepted by the outside world that the total expenditure on the day Li Mu married Liu Yifei should be around 2 million yuan, and the gift money is said to have been 3 million yuan. Netizens think that the TV series "Let's Get Married" should be included in the preparations for the wedding, and the copyright has been sold. 10.55 billion. The revenue from the album "Let's Get Married" should be around 1.5 million.

So Li Mu might have earned more than 13 billion by marrying Liu Yifei?
Even if you pay taxes, it will still be at least over 10 billion, right?
Netizens were split apart after seeing the calculation made by good-faith netizens - that is to say, Li Mu claimed to have given Liu Yifei a wedding of the century, costing more than 2 million, but in the end, someone else got it, and he made a lot of money. ?
Where can one go to reason with this? !

Many netizens even couldn't help but sigh: "Art really comes from life. Is this the real version of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" where he spends more and more money?"

In addition, Huashang Media has two films to be released in the second half of this year. One is "Shameful Iron Fist" by Happy Twist Team, and the other is "Rapid Chase 2" starring Wu Jing. The two films will definitely be "Shameful Iron Fist". "Shameful Iron Fist" is more suitable for the Spring Festival, so "Rapid Chase" is scheduled for December.

Huashang Media also has two movies to be released in the next year, namely "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Despicable Me". Of these four movies, only "Despicable Me" still has some finishing work to be completed, and the other three movies have already been completed. Post-production was completed and passed the review.

The reason why "The Secret of the Dragon" is scheduled for the end of the year is because we don't want there to be too many Huashang films at the end of the year.

In addition, the TV series "Ghost Blowing Lamp: The Ancient City" by the original cast of "The Secret of the Dragon" has also officially started filming. At this time, Huashang Media has a total of four TV series in production, including two key dramas. In addition to "Ghost" "Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City" and "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" starring Zhang Yi, Yin Tao and others are also projects that Huashang Media attaches great importance to - there is no doubt that this is another TV series that Li Mu likes very much.
