Facing the Li Ziwei issue, Li Mu replied with a smile: „The «Infernal Affairs» plot setting of first edition loses face, sometimes a good story, sells is not the plot, but is the setting.”
„Sells the setting?” Li Ziwei was done by Li Mu again somewhat muddled.
Li Mu said with a smile: „Setting is sometimes more valuable than the plot.”
Then, Li Mu asked her: „Should Spielberg's «Jurassic Park» you look?”
„Has looked, the impression is profound.”
„Actually this thing sells is an setting, if I a casual racket movie, in the real world presented the massive dinosaur, what repertoire the audience will certainly ask his mother? Bewildered kills the dinosaur is unreasonable? In that case, everyone can shoot one not to have the brain without foundation dinosaur movie, but " Jurassic Park » setting gives the setting that one set has been able to justify oneself, for example does the dinosaur come? The scientists from an amber, had found a prehistoric mosquito, before this mosquito turns into the amber, has attracted the blood of dinosaur exactly, therefore the scientist withdraws dna of dinosaur from its belly, then bred the dinosaur, this setting made the audience admit, and shocking audience, therefore it had the successful foundation, but Hollywood then also revolves this setting, «Jurassic Park» has made an entire series \;”
„I understood probably......”
„Did «Biochemistry Crisis» you who last year screened know?”
„Knows, I have looked.”
„«Biochemistry Crisis» is a game of Japanese Game Company development, its core setting was the umbrella company researches and develops one type to let the virus that the person turned into the mourning corpse, afterward the virus proliferated, the entire world changed into the scorched earth, was this core setting lets the player and audience feels fresh, therefore I believe, Hollywood also certainly can develops a series «Biochemistry Crisis».”
Li Ziwei ponders over the moment, asked Li Mu: „Chief Li, should that «Infernal Affairs» core setting, be it originates black and white both sides to place undercover undercover's story pattern to the undercover in the camp of opposite party?”
„Responded!” Li Mu hit a sound to refer, says with a smile: „ Before this kind had undercover element movie, overwhelming majorities were in the camp that the police went to the gangster do an inside job, finding the way to catch the whole lot in a dragnet the gangster, however in " Infernal Affairs » setting, the police has sent an undercover to the gangster camp, but what unexpected was, the gangster also sent an undercover to the camp of police, if we sent the traditional plot of undercover to call A kinds of plots the police to the gangster, then normally, A kinds of plots on can support a movie, but, in this movie, has joined one and A clearly opposite reverse. The plot, we can call B kinds of plots it \;
As the matter stands, «Infernal Affairs» had was different from the setting of past gangster movie, it became had A kinds of plots , the movies of B kinds of plots, but in «Infernal Affairs» core setting , very splendid hypotheses, that was: The undercover of police, as well as the undercover of gangster, in completing the task of oneself originally undercover status demand simultaneously, but must look for mutually the opposite party, this is also equal to A kinds and in B kinds of plots, increased a ab kind of plot, made «Infernal Affairs» become all of a sudden had A, B as well as the splendid big piece of ab kind of plot, this was the wonderful idea that Hong Kong wrote a play, was a very extraordinary pioneering work, therefore, I believe that reason that Hollywood wants to buy the copyright of this movie, regarded as important on was the core setting of this talent, but was not it. Back deepness, human nature and Buddhist fatalism. ”
Li Ziwei thought oneself had been brainwashed by Li Mu successfully, this feeling is Li Mu, regardless of said anything, she will think that makes sense......
At this time, Li Mu stretched oneself, said: „First edition «Infernal Affairs» stands in the terminal of China culture, but its core setting, is actually very close front, this set of setting continues we to understand, entire world each over ten normal IQ audience should be able to understand, therefore, if I must rescreen, must first refine its core setting, remaining, in the concrete plot packing, must let it traces to the source to the culture front, found are more and other nationality consistent general character.”
Saying, Li Mu was also saying: „ For example, we cannot let the character, plot as well as the entire story main key are too deep gloomily, the character relations must be clear about, the character disposition and contradictory are also bright, the good person is the good person, the bad person is the bad person, the bad person does not need to in want to mediate finally \;
For example, we must implement the simple and crude direct development technique, little dazzles the technique, to be little sensational, few transmission individual value view \;
For example, we cannot admit to rescreen in the version any thing of Buddhism, even any religious content must avoid with every effort \;
For example good person although can die a tragic death, but we cannot make the bad person get off scot-free...... ”
......
Pan- Asia receives the message that Muye Pictures has given, they the Li Mu's manner explicit transmission to the opposite party, this have also meant, Pan- Asia does not need to bargain back and forth with Li Mu again, because Li Mu did not want, even if gives in vain does not want.
Pan- Asia is also thinking in the copyright with hand bargained back and forth with Li Mu, but didn't expect, Li Mu has rejected directly their request, even has also taken back beforehand offer, has terminated the cooperation.
Pan- Asia then ravels, they think that the entire world wants " Infernal Affairs » overseas distribution rights, Li Mu certainly is not exceptional, but Li Mu richness that wants interest them of this movie not to imagine.
Why?
Pan- Asia is also racking brains this issue.
Li Mu can sells to have been to hundred million USD big gods «Mr. Zombie(s)», the work of «Infernal Affairs» this Hong Kong movie for many years bailout, can various aspects compared with «Mr. Zombie(s)», why Li Mu such are not interested in it?
But if, Li Mu is really not interested in «Infernal Affairs», why he must spend 350 ten thousand USD prices, the high price from Warner buys " Infernal Affairs » English rescreens the power? Was this matter, some is too contradictory?
When Pan- Asia is scratching and tearing the scalp for this issue, Li Mu in own office, held the conference call with several person in charge of DreamWorks.
Spielberg cloud Sheng is carrying on " Flying Tigers » photography, specially arranged the same day making a movie rhythm, found the time to attend this conference call.
As for other DreamWorks person in charge, to give in to the Li Mu's time, US local time around 4 : 00 am crawled, wears the tie, to wear the western-style clothing, sat well in front of the computer.
What the conference call uses is the pro version of YY group video, the so-called pro version, is the meaning of professional, is the software arena so-called „professional version”, but the group video of pro edition does not need other user download(ing) YY client side, what the pro version group video uses is an extra payment „value-added service”, so long as the user has purchased the promotion service, can enjoy quickly the stabler global video straight even/including, surmounts the ocean like Instant Messenger, the pro version can achieve the stability of maximum degree to be smooth.
Picture, several Hollywood big shots gave regards to Li Mu, the Li Mu 11 smile nods responded, after several people have greeted separately, Li Mu then enters the subject, said: „, Reason that must hold this conference call , because I in the near future in preparing a film and television project, think that everybody should know, I have bought " Infernal Affairs » English from the hand of Warner rescreen the copyright, then, I prepare to start to arrange this project immediately, does not know that the DreamWorks is interested in working with me?”
Ceo of DreamWorks said immediately: „Mr. Li, the DreamWorks and your cooperation wish are very strong, moreover we also had the Muye ticket system thorough cooperation base, regardless of Mr. Li you prepare to launch any film and television project, the DreamWorks wants certain extent participation.”
The management to the DreamWorks, they already regarded as the next soaraway key of DreamWorks Li Mu, to asked for money like this richly, wanted the resources to have the big shot of resources, entire Hollywood will handle the same matter, that firmly grasped his thigh.
The management of DreamWorks hopes very can tie up with Li Mu's Muye Pictures, this also means them to be able with Muye Science and Technology, even ties up with Li Mu this person depth, therefore at this time this table loyal critical moment.
Li Mu wants after is DreamWorks type „eldest child me, with you mixed” manner, therefore his satisfied smiling, said: „Since this, I first said the partnership model.”
The big shots in several DreamWorks nod in abundance: „Mr. Li please say.”
Li Mu said: „First, the budget of this movie I prepare to establish provisionally that is hundred million USD, I can you 50% investment discounts, but your maximum proportion cannot over 25%, if you want to account for 25%, must according to 12.5% investments of actual investment, if you want to account for 20%, presses 10% investments.”
The previous life «Without a gap Traveler» investment is eight surely USD, but differs for two years, the salary and inflation have certain influence, in other words, if also throw 80 million now, that must certainly have the purchasing power compared with two years later 80 million, does not need to supplement 20 million costs additionally again, but this whole life Li Mu increased the budget of Tom Hanks this kind of major suit, but must increase some manufacture funds, therefore increased 20 million should in almost just the good level line.
Leonardo as well as Tom Hanks, when met to pat «Flying Tigers» from falling the salary, that was first time cooperates with Li Mu, was they give a Li Mu's manner, but Li Mu must result in others this sentiments, therefore rescreened «Infernal Affairs», the Li Mu plan was gives them the normal price the salary, simultaneously gave two people the little proportions the box office to divide up money again additionally, was the exchange of gifts between friends.
At this time, DreamWorks several people whispered mutually several, afterward CEO opens the mouth saying: „Chief Li, our concrete proportion many, listens to your instruction, you said many, we enter many, as for investment discount, our good intentions thank you, but from the long-time cooperation, the DreamWorks cannot always gain this additional benefit from your there, therefore we hope according to the normal proportion investment.”
Li Mu when pursues the big target, can very natural places second the benefit, as the matter stands, to guarantee fulfillment of first goal, he naturally is willing to reduce the anticipation value of second goal, but not like some greedy capitalists, regardless of any advantage hopes oneself monopolize.
Begins shooting beautiful version «Infernal Affairs», Li Mu to not make money, but to use this movie goes to Oscar to embrace several awards to come back crazily, realizes the Oscar dream on behalf of the China film and television company and China capital first, therefore he is willing to give the DreamWorks certain interests incline.
But DreamWorks have oneself haggling over, they do not want to occupy time small advantage to run on Li Mu, but is the hope can make contact with is farther, is this that his steamship walks, cannot occupy small advantage on more, therefore, they also very explicit had indicated own manner, is not willing to accept such benefit incline again, as for the proportion, they is also decides to respect the Li Mu's meaning, if toward many have occupied, Li Mu is really not necessarily willing, but if toward few have occupied, Li Mu 80% will also think the sincerity is insufficient.
Li Mu is also very clear to their thoughts, nods, said: „Since this, I am impolite with you, the DreamWorks presses 20% investments, we jointly manufacture and jointly distribute.”
Ceo of DreamWorks decides immediately: „Ok! We do not have any comment!”
Spielberg asked Li Mu: „Does Chief Li, the director about this play, what idea you have? «Infernal Affairs» I in Hong Kong have looked, is a good movie, but speaks the truth, this movie possibly with my style not too fitting.”
Li Mu nods, said: „Steven, matter about director, I wants to ask Martin Scorsese to direct, do you think what kind of?”
