As a director, especially one who had a certain status in the country, he was absolutely confident in his film. However, now that he was being questioned by someone who was not in the same industry as him, he could not help but feel a little unhappy.
Although Li Mu saw that his expression was not good, he continued,""Director Zhang, your movie lacks a plot, which leads to the character's dullness. Secondly, the characters and theme were both missing. There were also scenes and special effects that didn't serve the plot, making it seem messy. Thirdly, the combination of Chinese and Western, ancient and magical. It was really difficult to fuse the two together. However, there are still some interesting things to watch in this movie. Of course, it's just the special effects.”
Zhang Yimou didn't want to hear Li Mu's unpleasant words, but after listening carefully, he realized that he was serious and was the most honest evaluation.
It was originally his own film. The film he shot would always feel very good, and it was not easy to see where there were flaws.
Moreover, as a well-known director, even if the people around him had seen his film and felt that it was not good, they could not tell him directly. However, now that an outsider had pointed it out, he suddenly began to have the same feelings as Li Mu.
Li Mu paused for a moment before continuing,"Director Zhang, actually, the key problem with your film is the script." If I'm not wrong, the scriptwriters are all foreigners, right?”
Zhang Yimou nodded." Yes, they're all from overseas. There's no one from China."”
"So your movie is like a story of a hero fighting a monster in a Haolai house, except that the fictional world is in China. How should he put it? This was an empty shell. The mistake was in the script. 30% was already the highest.”
"Most importantly, do you think the people of our country will approve of letting a foreigner save our country?”
Li Mu's last sentence also directly stopped Zhang Yimou, who wanted to talk. He simply had nothing to say.
Then, Li Mu looked at Yang Mi again.
"There's no need to mention your film. It was a luxurious production that did not touch the mortal world. The actors had an empty shell, and their souls were empty and monotonous. The entire film was relatively superficial. The plot wasn't good enough, and the plot wasn't interesting. However, with a group of handsome men and beautiful women, it could attract some brainless fans, but the box office wouldn't be as high as Tiny Era. 30% of the screenings is already my maximum limit.”
Li Mu's words were also relatively straightforward. He first commented on Zhang Yimou's film, then commented on Yang Mi's film.
He spoke very honestly and without flattery.
However, what else could they say when their film was called a lousy film? There was no chance for him to continue increasing the number of screenings. Moreover, he was originally very confident. Now that he had been stepped on by the other party, he was starting to feel a little dejected.
However, Zhang Yimou recalled Li Mu's comments on the small era. What he said was completely in line with what he thought. The comments were very real and there was absolutely no falsehood.
Forget it. It seemed that his film was indeed not good enough this time. He had to think about it again when he went back.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi Mou said,""President Li, I've indeed troubled you. However, with your comments, I still have to go back and ponder over the film. Then it was settled. 30%.”
"Then that's all for today. I have to go back first. I look forward to seeing you next time!"
Zhang Yimou smiled and shook hands with Li Mu.
After Zhang Yi Mou left, Yang Mi was still reluctant to leave and wanted to fight for it.
"President Li, look, can't you really increase our screening volume? 35%, what do you think?"
A movie with a box office of 300 million and 35% of the screenings?
Chen Sicheng only got 40% of his 3 billion box office earnings…That's impossible. With that amount of screen time, I might as well give more to Chen Sicheng. That would be more profitable than giving it to Tiny Era.
"No, I can't. There was no room for discussion. It's not that I don't want to give you face, but your film is too bad.”
The film was too lousy. These words pierced Yang Mi's ears at once, and it was very ear-piercing.
Boss Li was too straightforward.
However, after interacting with him twice, she had a little understanding of him.
It seemed that there was no room for negotiation. Forget it, 30% was indeed enough.
Thinking of this, Yang Mi did not continue to pester him. She smiled slightly and said,"Yes! Alright. 30% was already very good. No matter what, thank you, CEO Li!”
