Any ambitious nation or group is eager to be recognized by the world's authority.

Academic personnel from all over the world hope to win the Nobel, athletes from all over the world hope to win the Olympic championship or the World Cup championship, and the same is true for the literary and artistic industry.

Not only has Chinese films had Oscar feelings for many years, but countries around the world, including Hollywood in the United States, have deep Oscar feelings. No matter which country the film workers hope to win an Oscar award, the same is true for Chinese film workers.

Li Mu is not an actor, nor a director, nor a screenwriter, but he is the boss of a film and television company. If the Chinese film industry cannot make a film that can win the Oscars at this stage, then as the boss of the Chinese film company and the capitalist, it is always OK to invest in a film that can win the Oscars, right?

With DreamWorks' size and DreamWorks' current intention to work with him, Li Mu can easily let DreamWorks work for him. After all, big directors like Spielberg, like third-rate directors who specialize in making low-cost digital movies for movie channels, are all migrant workers in the industry. Since they are migrant workers, in the eyes of capitalists, the core difference is who has a higher value.

If you can't afford money, the casual workers who squat on the bridge and wait for work will not contribute to you; if you can afford money, let alone Spielberg, the whole Hollywood will become your worker. Li Mu wants money and resources, resources and influence. There is also the Muye ticketing system, which stole the film industry from the audience level. DreamWorks will stick to itself wholeheartedly in the future, and it is too late to refuse its cooperation requirements.

On the way to the inspection, Li Mu had already made up his mind that as soon as he got the copyright of the American version of "Infernal Affairs", he would immediately find DreamWorks to land with him. Moreover, the Makino image will exceed 0% or even higher in terms of investment ratio, shareholding ratio, and voting rights ratio. At that time, although this movie was jointly produced by China and the United States, it is essentially the Chinese boss who takes up the majority.

China Capital’s impact on the Oscars is not just to gain fame, but more importantly, the impact and substitution momentum of the new Eastern capital on the old Western capital. If China Capital begins to pour into Hollywood on a large scale, it indicates that Hollywood must bow to the Chinese film market. This is why after 2008, a large number of Hollywood blockbusters began to incorporate Chinese elements, Chinese actors and Chinese corporate advertising implants. After all, this is because China’s capital has entered.

As for "The Flying Tigers", which is now cooperating with DreamWorks, Li Mu's sustenance for it is to impact high box office and high influence, thus achieving the popularity of China and the United States' history of anti-Japanese war in the world, and there is no hope of using it to hit the Oscars.

After all, this movie is a commercial war film, and it also has a certain mainstream value output. Oscars themselves do not like war themes. They will definitely be careful and cautious about such films, and they are cautious and cautious, so it is basically impossible to make great gains on the Oscars. Not to mention the "Flying Tigers" that reflects the joint anti-Japanese war between China and the United States, even "Pearl Harbor" that fights against the Japanese by themselves won only the Oscars, the Best Sound Effect Editing Award. This award is quite satisfactory in Oscars.

But the American version of "Infernal Affairs" is different. As long as this movie is tied to Martin Scorsese, it is absolutely true to win an Oscar. After all, a big director like Lao Ma must give him an explanation no matter what. The American version of "Infernal Affairs" is Lao Ma's best-known film since "Good Guy" in 1990. If the Oscar decides to give Lao Ma a Best Director Award, then there is no doubt that the American version of "Infernal Affairs" is the most suitable carrier.

From this point of view, Li Mu needs the copyright of the American version of "Infernal Affairs" to make China Capital successfully enter the Oscar, and Martin Scorsese needs the American version of "Infernal Affairs" to achieve the highest honor as a director at the Oscar. Even if it is operated properly, Leonardo can realize his highest honor as an actor through this movie. Therefore, Li Mu is determined to win this project.

The site selection inspection of the film and television base has not been made public. Li Mu, Wei Lan, Chen Ze, Song Liang and others conducted a rough investigation at the junction of Yanjing, Tianjin City and Langfang. The content of the inspection mainly involved the investigation of terrain and the use of land.

If you want to build a large-scale film and television base, it will inevitably require nearly 100 square kilometers of development area. Li Mu's goal is not to copy a Hengdian, but to build a "new Hengdian" that is much stronger than Hengdian. It not only needs to combine film and television bases and tourism, but also various film and television production support, as well as post-production and other related industries. Therefore, it is necessary to first determine whether the target address has such a large area of ​​plain land, and then examine the land use cost.

The southeast of Yanjing is actually a Feng Shui treasure land. Unlike the large fan shape of Yanjing, which is nearly 300 degrees from the northeast to the southwest, which is nearly 300 degrees, there are very few hills in the southeast, just plains, and it extends all the way to the Bohai Bay.

After an overall investigation, the first thing that can be determined is the terrain. The land of more than 10,000 square kilometers is basically all plains, so it fully meets the requirements of building a super-large film and television base. The remaining question is where to choose a land use lower cost.

When calculating land use costs, the main consideration is the land quotation of the local government and the compensation standards for the land itself for arable land, private housing and enterprise land. The denser the population, the less suitable it is for non-residential projects, because the relocation cost is too high, and the resettlement fee alone is a huge cost.

Weilan is more sensitive and professional in land, which is even more authoritative than Song Liang. When Song Liang was still staring at the Haizhou map to study land, Weilan was already controlling large-scale real estate projects in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, so in this regard, everyone fully trusts Weilan's ideas and suggestions.

After a rough investigation, Wei Lan made his own suggestions on the spot. First, he took out a budget and hired a professional aerial survey company to conduct aerial photography of this area, and then drew a detailed topographic map. The map should clearly reflect the distribution and density of cultivated land, wasteland, homesteads and enterprise land. In this way, Wanying could avoid the important and light layout when planning the film and television city project.

Even if a land that requires 100 square kilometers is not necessary to be square or regular and concentrated. In order to reduce costs, it can be designed as a distribution of sections. On the basis of ensuring the overall connection, areas with higher land use costs are avoided to the greatest extent. For such a large real estate project planning, aerial photography and aerial survey is the best solution. The only disadvantage is that the cost is too high. Such a large aerial survey area starts at least several million, and it may be even higher. However, compared with such a huge project, Weilan feels that this cost is worth paying.

In 2003, many people may not have heard of the word aerial photography, but Wei Lan's vision has already surpassed the vast majority of people.

Although Chen Ze and Song Liang supported the use of aerial photography and aerial surveys to support the site selection, neither of them suggested to get on the horse first. Both of them felt that they should talk to the governments of the three places first, and after the talks, they would formulate a general range based on the attitudes of local governments. At that time, they would ask the aerial survey company to conduct measurements. This would be considered targeted.

But Li Mu was unwilling to wait.

He was very convinced of Wei Lan's suggestion and immediately made a decision: "Our film and television base project, if we want to leverage the influence of Yanjing's capital and its huge tourism resources, is destined to be too far away from Yanjing. Therefore, no matter what we negotiate with the three local governments, we cannot leave this area. Since this is the case, we don't need to wait until we have completed the negotiation with the local government before taking the aerial survey. It's better to hurry up and start the horse first. After all, such a large area, aerial survey and drawing also take a certain amount of time. If we start the horse later, we have to wait for the map. I would rather spend more money and let the map wait for people."

Li Mu said it to the point. Anyway, if you want to take this project, you can't live without this place. What else do you have to worry about? Quickly understand the entire terrain and land use, and make it into a map, so that you can clearly see which places you can get on the map at a glance.

To put it bluntly, the so-called patch distribution is like urban greening. You have to take advantage of the situation and avoid roads, buildings and large buildings. Therefore, the green in most urban aerial photos is basically the same as psoriasis. This piece and that piece, but Li Mu’s film and television base cannot adopt a completely isolated patch distribution. Even if it is divided into multiple "plaques" of different shapes and sizes, there must be a connection line to ensure that all patches are a whole from a spatial perspective.

To achieve the lowest land use cost on this basis, aerial surveys are the most scientific and accurate solution.

After a general investigation of the regional terrain and determining the rhythm of taking aerial maps first, everyone took a car back to Yanjing at night.

When the car entered Yanjing city, Li Ziwei received a call, and then immediately reposted Li Mu happily, saying: "Mr. Li, Warner accepted your offer and is willing to resell the English remake copyright of "Infernal Affairs" to Makino Yingxiang for US$3.5 million!"

"That's great." Li Mu snapped his fingers and said excitedly: "Arranging a special person to connect immediately and complete the contract process as soon as possible!"

Li Mu was not wrong. The anxious Warner seemed to have just been under a full-scale bombing. Now they are all in disaster relief. They cannot even enter the post-war reconstruction stage in a short period of time, let alone the post-war development.

Therefore, it is useless for them to hold the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" in their hands, and it is difficult to have the energy to establish a project. Moreover, several Hollywood companies were interested in this copyright. In the end, the reason was taken away by Warner was because the price of $750,000 was relatively high. If Warner wanted to sell it to other Hollywood companies now, no one would give him a price of $750,000.

Moreover, the copyright of the movie script is limited by time. It is often only a few years to buy the film and television adaptation rights of popular novels. Suppose that Warner bought the exclusive English reproduction rights from Huanya for the next five years. If Warner had not filmed it himself, the authorization would expire, and then it would be a waste of money.
