Chapter 261 The Future First-Line Director
In Li Mu's mind, from 2000 to 2016, when he was reborn, the best comedy film in mainland China was Crazy Stone. This film, which was born in 2006, invested two or three million to create a A landmark comedy movie, Li Mu himself can't count how many people this movie has become popular.
After this movie, Huang Bo, an absolute dangling actor, has become one of the hottest movie stars in China, and he is nicknamed the "Six Billion Movie King". Actors Guo Tao and Xu Zheng, who have long been out of breath, are also in this movie. After the movie, I found the spring of my career again, and Dao Ge and Wang Xun in the play also became popular with this film. Although they failed to become first-line actors, they were also mixed in the second-tier ranks.
Although this film borrows elements from foreign director Guy Ritchie, the screenwriter is really ingenious. With the wonderful performances of various actors, it presents a true comedy with no urine spots throughout the whole process and laughing from beginning to end. This film Li Mu watched it no less than ten times, and he could memorize almost every line.
Since then, the director of the film has been truly known to the world. In the future, he has made films with box office of over 100 million and over 1 billion, and successfully entered the ranks of domestic first-line directors.
The director of this film is Ning Hao, who had just recommended himself to him on QQ.
Because Li Mu likes to watch his movies, he even found his earliest dv movie and watched it. The picture quality of that movie was terrible and the photography was terrible, but the plot design was clever, and the title of the film was Thursday and Wednesday.
If you calculate the time, you can imagine that Ning Hao is still a student at school. He will see his posts and find himself. Although it is a bit of a coincidence, but thinking about it carefully, it is not a coincidence to some extent.
There are a lot of unknown students at the current Yanjing Film Academy, but if Li Mu goes in and walks around, he can at least find dozens of familiar faces, because students from grades 98 to 01 are still in school. . There are too many famous people, not only actors, but also directors, photographers, and screenwriters. I have sent this one to my recruitment. It is normal to attract a few big names in the future. As a person who has been reborn in the future, it is estimated that it will be a coincidence to meet any big names in the future.
No matter what, Li Mu was still very excited, he hurriedly packed up and went out to the barbecue stall downstairs to wait for Ning Hao's appearance. The Yanjing Film Academy was not far from the National People's Congress, and the bus was only a few stops away. Li Mu waited for ten minutes by the window of the Yangxiezi Hotpot Restaurant, and a familiar face appeared in his field of vision.
Although Ning Hao is still a student at the Yanjing Film Academy, his actual age is already 25 years old. He looks quite old, and now he looks almost the same as when he was filming Crazy Stone. The boundary line also retreated early.
Ning Hao looked around after getting off the bus. After seeing the Yang Scorpion Hotpot that Li Mu said, he walked towards the store door. Pushing the door and entering, he stood on tiptoe and looked inside. Li Mu wanted to take the initiative to say hello to him, but when he thought that he was still unknown, it would be strange if he recognized him first, so he pretended to be Sitting calmly in the chair, waiting for him to see himself.
Ning Hao repeated in a low voice, "Gray sports trousers, blue sweater"
After scanning around, his eyes fell on Li Mu, the blue sweater was correct, but the pants were invisible. Ning Hao took a few steps forward, deliberately glanced at Li Mu and found that Li Mu was wearing gray sweatpants, and was immediately surprised. I thought to myself why this kid is so young because he told himself on QQ just now that he wants to spend 2 million to make a 40-minute micro-movie.
Ning Hao instinctively wanted to go out,
Because he was afraid that Li Mu was a liar, and he was not afraid that Li Mu would lie to him, but he was afraid that Li Mu would lie to him for a meal.
It's not that he hasn't heard of it. Some birdmen are in the name of introducing people to jobs. Cheating to eat and drink, if this kid is really deceiving people by posting on the forum of Yanjing Film Academy, what can he do? His living expenses are now a problem, and he only has more than fifty yuan in his pocket. This is all his net worth. By the end of the year, there are no new crews to start filming, and he can't even find a chance to work. If Li Mu doesn't work out, he will have to go to the restaurant to serve dishes.
It was precisely because of the financial constraints that Ning Hao felt a little entangled in his heart. On the one hand, he was afraid that Li Mu was a liar, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would make a mistake in his judgment.
Ning Hao deliberately walked past Li Mu, hesitated a few meters behind, and struggled for a minute.
Zhong, he gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try. He was afraid that if he found out that the other party was really a liar, he would not show his face and stare at him before he was full. If he wanted to leave early, he would get up and leave by himself. Front.
After making the decision, Ning Hao came to Li Mu, looked down at him, and asked tentatively, "Hello, is it Mr. Li?"
Li Mu nodded and asked with a smile, "You are Ning Hao, right?"
Ning Hao said, "It's me."
Li Mu said enthusiastically, "Come here, please take a seat."
Ning Hao sat down across from Li Mu with a little uneasiness. A large pot of sheep and scorpions had already boiled in front of the two of them. Li Mu greeted, "Eat first, and chat while you eat."
Ning Hao nodded and thanked him. He was really hungry. After spending so long in Yanjing, he rarely had the luxury to eat this kind of food. He didn't even have time to eat tonight.
Li Mu really wanted to eat first and then talk about things, but not long after the two started eating, he soon discovered that Ning Hao had been glancing at himself from the corner of his eye when he was eating, and he seemed to be very wary.
Li Mu is considered a good person at this age, so he could guess what Ning Hao was worried about, and when he thought that Ning Hao was an old smoker in the director circle, Li Mu waved to the waiter and said, "Trouble, give me two Soft China."
Deliberately picking up the cigarette points that were not in the store, the waiter glanced at Li Mu and said embarrassedly, "Hello, our best cigarette is Yuxi."
Li Mu took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to her: "Go out and buy two packs for me, and the rest will be used as errands for you."
Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
Two hundred yuan, this meal is definitely enough, these days, a large pot of sheep and scorpions can't cost a hundred yuan.
It seems that the other party is indeed a rich and powerful master, and it is impossible to deceive himself for a meal.
Li Mu saw Ning Hao's performance in his eyes and thought it was funny, but he also expressed his understanding. Whether it was in the film and television industry or in the music industry, most of them were poor before they became famous. The reason for being poor is that they need money to support their artistic careers. Li Mu When I was in college, I had a deep understanding of playing a band. Sometimes, in order to buy a piece of equipment, I couldn’t take it easy for half a semester. In order to buy a guitar effect device called line6, he sang a lot in a small bar outside the school. for five months.
The waiter bought the cigarette back, gave the cigarette to Li Mu, and handed the money to Li Mu. Li Mu took the cigarette and said, "Keep the money and bring me an ashtray."
There is no smoking ban in the hotel yet. Almost all the guests in the lobby are smoking. The waiter happily accepts the money, turns his head and brings Li Mu an ashtray and a lighter.
Li Mu opened one of the packs of cigarettes, handed one to Ning Hao, and lit one by himself. Ning Hao also took out a lighter and lit it. He took a sigh of relief and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't say it, good cigarettes. It's a good smoke, soft and pure."
Li Mu smiled slightly and handed him the unopened bag: "Take it and smoke it."
Ning Hao hurriedly pushed his hand and said, "How can this work?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "I don't smoke much, so don't be polite. Don't we still have cooperation to discuss?"
After taking a cigarette, Li Mu said, "Introduce myself, my name is Li Mu, Muzi Li, the pastor of the pasture."
Ning Hao nodded and said his name.
Li Mudao: "You said on QQ that you want to be the executive producer of my play. What I'm more curious about is how you can integrate the resources I need for me."
Ning Hao suddenly became interested, flicked the cigarette ashes, and said with a bit of excitement: "I've been in this industry for a long time, I've been with many crews, and I know some people. Now it's the end of the year, and many people have nothing to do with it. I have nothing to do with my work. I have a mobile phone number for paging, and I can get a phone number. In addition, our Yanjing Film Academy also has a lot of student resources, ranging from actors to drama and set affairs. I have a good reputation in the school. I can help you out then.”
Li Mu asked him, "Can you coordinate some good actors from the film school for me? I still have a few vacancies here."
Li Mu has not yet decided on the leading role of the male villain, and there are also several roles with lines. Li Mu hopes to find some more professional actors. Otherwise, if the whole play is played by amateur actors, he is also afraid that everyone will not be able to play it. Tuning, it makes people feel fake at first glance.
r /> Ning Hao patted his chest and said, "These are all trivial matters, you can tell me the script, or show it to me, and then tell me your needs for each character, and I'll handle the rest for you. ."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then I will officially hire you as the executive producer of my drama."
Ning Hao was stunned, put down the half-eaten goat bone, stared at Li Mu and asked, "It's settled"
Li Mu nodded and smiled: "Well, it's settled."
Ning Hao stammered, "Will it be a little hasty?"
Li Mu asked in a funny way, "Do you want me to regret it?"
Ning Hao hurriedly said, "Of course not, it's just a matter of remuneration, how do you decide?"
Li Mu said: "According to what you said, three thousand, I will give you a thousand yuan in advance."
Ning Hao was obviously trembling. The three thousand yuan was just an offer he made casually. The actual two thousand yuan offer was a bit high. Unexpectedly, Li Mu agreed directly.
He asked Li Mu, "You can trust me like that"
Li Mu smiled and said: "It's nothing more than giving you a thousand dollars first. I believe in my own vision, you shouldn't lie to me for a thousand dollars."
Ning Hao nodded again and again: "Don't worry about this, I am the most trustworthy person in my work, and I will do my best to help you in this drama." To be continued.
