Chapter 263 Haven't You Heard of Me?
This weekend, several brothers in dormitory 606 stopped following him to help students. Dong Ai formed a team to take charge of this matter. He sent a trustworthy person from the student union to lead the team, and a financial officer to follow the whole process. Only the new team went directly to the northwest mountainous area, while Dong Ai flew to the Shanghai stock market early on Saturday morning. The promotion of the 3321 Shanghai stock market has already started. In the future, her energy will be concentrated on the Shanghai stock market. This market is open, and the size of the Shanghai stock market is comparable to that of Yanjing. This is another market with at least tens of thousands of users.
Li Mu ran to stay with Ning Hao for a whole day. Ning Hao rented a room in a hotel near the Yanjing Film Academy, and interviewed a bunch of crew members with Li Mu, many of whom were Ning Hao. It was recommended. For example, the photographer was his good friend Lu Ming. Li Mu didn't know much about the famous photographers of later generations. Since he trusted it, he believed that there should be no problem with his strength.
Lu Ming has worked as a photographer for several small production films. He is quite experienced in this area. He also has assistants and sound engineers who have worked with him for a long time. So using it is equivalent to having an entire team of camera and radio. , As for the various equipment required for shooting, you can rent it directly from the rental company.
Li Mu stayed in the hotel for a whole day, and basically decided most of the future functional personnel of the crew, and the actors who had lines were basically confirmed. The only one who was still worse was Chen Kun. When I have nothing to do, I went to the Shanghai stock market to visit Zhao Wei, who is filming "Unparalleled in the World", so I can't go back to Yanjing until Sunday night.
When eating downstairs in the hotel in the evening, Ning Hao said, "I made a phone call with Chen Kun and talked about it. He said that the salary for receiving movies has reached 100,000 yuan, and the TV series is 10,000 yuan per episode, but this is a brokerage company. As for the price offered to the public, I am a little friendly with him but not very familiar with him. What he means is that if the film is really short and does not play the leading role as we said, the price should be halved."
Li Mu nodded. Said: "It's 50,000 if you fold it in half. Okay, sign it."
Ning Hao sneered, a little hesitant to speak. Li Mu said, "If you want to say anything, just say it."
Ning Hao took out a cigarette, lit it, and sighed faintly: "To be honest, asking him for fifty thousand yuan is not very cost-effective. I think it's better to find someone from the film academy who is studying in the Department of Acting and has a good image. Three or five thousand can be solved, and it will not be much worse than him."
Li Mu didn't answer him, but asked with a smile, "Since you are so good at calculating costs, if I put money into making a comedy, a 90- to 110-minute regular film, how much do you think it will cost to make it?"
Ning Hao said: "Comedy also depends on what kind of genre it is, whether it focuses on the story, the actors, or the scene."
Li Mu said, "Just shoot what you are best at."
Ning Hao sat up straight and said seriously, "Although I have no directing experience, I have two principles in making movies: I don't believe in big investments, and I don't believe in big stars. I don't know if you have seen Guy Ritchie's " "Two Smoking Guns", the script is extremely ingenious, the shooting technique is also very intentional, multi-clue narrative, cross-montage editing, ultra-low cost of 1.6 million pounds, a lot of amateur actors, but both box office and word-of-mouth. A classic of black humor."
Li Mu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ning Hao to be influenced by Guy Ritchie so early. His "Crazy Stone" has Guy Ritchie's shadow in the plot clues and narrative techniques. He didn't know about "Crazy Stone". this movie. Is there a prototype already in his mind?
Li Mu said, "When we finish filming our micro-movie, if you have a good book and ideas, you can come to me, and I will invest in your filming."
Ning Hao scratched his head and looked at Li Mu in disbelief: "Aren't you kidding me? I want to ask you. Where did you get the investment for the movie "Old Boy"? Minutes of the movie, I just didn't envy me to death."
Li Mu put down his chopsticks and asked him seriously, "Have you really never heard of me before?"
Ning Hao shook his head and said blankly, "I've never heard of it, what do you do at home?"
Li Mu asked him, "Have you heard of 3321?"
Ning Hao still shook his head.
Li Mu asked him again, "Have you heard of Muye Technology?"
/> Ning Hao still shook his head.
Li Mu was taken. Ask him: "What do you usually do other than class?"
Ning Hao took a puff of cigarette and said with his fingers broken, "Look, in addition to taking classes, I have to work part-time, and I have to watch one or two movies a day, and I have to write scripts and so on."
Li Mu asked him, "Don't you watch TV?"
Ning Hao shook his head: "Except for the occasional meal in the cafeteria, I don't see it at all."
Li Mu felt a little resentful, and thought he was a celebrity no matter what, but the future celebrity in front of him had never heard of him before.
Li Mu said: "Let me tell you, I have opened a few companies. In addition to the newly established Muye Imaging, there is also a company called Muye Technology, which is quite well-known in the Internet circle. You can do it when you have time. Check it out online."
Ning Hao said suspiciously, "Then I'll go back and study it."
Li Mu usually doesn't want to be too high-profile, but in the face of future well-known directors, he really wants to gain his worship and belief. If he wants to do things in Muye Imaging, he must first convince him of his own strength from the bottom of his heart. , investing several million to make a movie, he can fulfill this promise next year, he doesn't have to wait until 2006 to make it out.
After dinner, Li Mu asked Ning Hao to sign Chen Kun's contract. Ning Hao nodded in agreement and asked Li Mu, "Then do you still want to find time to see him again?"
Li Mu thought about it and said, "Well, after the contract is signed, you can make an appointment with him, and I will invite you two to dinner."
Ning Hao said, "Okay, I'll make an appointment with him as soon as possible."
When the two came out, Ning Hao asked Li Mu, "How do you get back? It's not easy to get a taxi around here. You have to walk a little bit to get to the gate of the Film Academy."
Li Mu took out the gl8's car key, pressed the remote control, and said lightly, "I drove here."
Ning Hao looked surprised, but he sighed secretly in his heart, he was driving a private car before he was 20 years old, and he would be 25 next year, and he didn't even have a bicycle. It was really incomparable.
Also, what's up with this kid? Rich second generation? The second generation of officials? This place in Yanjing is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, maybe it is the son of a prominent family.
Ning Hao saw Li Mu sit in the cab, said hello and drove away, the company name Li Mu mentioned before suddenly appeared in his mind.
Muye Technology, what is the origin?
Ning Hao thought about it and turned to go to a dark Internet cafe in the alley.
Twenty minutes later, Ning Hao walked out of the Internet cafe as if he had lost his soul. The information he just found made him still in shock and couldn't recover.
It turns out that the Tieba that I have been using all the time is the product of Makino Technology. Since I have nothing to do, I go to the director’s bar to discuss and communicate with other friends. I didn’t expect that the Tieba was developed by Li Mu’s company, and I carefully checked those it According to an article on the portal website about Makino Technology, the company’s valuation has exceeded 300 million yuan.
Three hundred million! Ning Hao didn't understand the concept of the Internet and the bubble, but the number of 300 million was an unimaginable astronomical figure for him. Li Mu was able to achieve such an achievement at such a young age, which made him feel ashamed immediately, and when he thought of Li Mu When he said he wanted to invest in his own movies, he originally thought that Li Mu was joking with himself, but now it seems that since Li Mu has a company as big as Muye Technology, and he has established Muye Imaging, he will invest several million for himself. A movie is not too difficult...
Ning Hao's biggest wish is to find investment and invest several million to make a real movie. Now it seems that as long as he follows Li Mu, this wish can be realized within a short time.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly found a public phone booth on the side of the road, took out a phone book, and called Chen Kun.
Chen Kun was one year older than Ning Hao, and he was a bit better off than Ning Hao, so Ning Hao was very polite to him on the phone.
"Brother Kun, have you communicated with the brokerage company about what I told you before?"
Chen Kun responded on the other end of the phone and said, "We've communicated, the schedule is no problem, it's just the price and the script. The company means that if it's really just a 40-minute movie like you said, then follow the fifty thousand salary
The salary is gone, and the other is the script. My agent and I both want to read it first. "
Ning Hao hurriedly said, "The script is fine, I'll send it to you when you return to Yanjing."
Chen Kun reminded: "The character positioning of the script must not be too bad. If it is a big villain, I am afraid that our company will not let me take it."
Ning Hao's heart tensed. Chen Kun came to play the second male lead. This was originally the villain. If Chen Kun's agency didn't agree, it would be really annoying.
But Ning Hao is also a smart person, so he said: "Actually, this character in the script is not bad. In high school, in order to chase the heroine, I had a little conflict with the hero. Later, I got along and married the heroine. , and later caused a little trouble for the protagonist, that's all, it's not too bad to say."
After speaking, Ning Hao changed the subject and reminded deliberately: "The male lead of this show is the lead singer of Simple Plan, he is now very well-known in the music circle and music lovers circle, and he will be on the Spring Festival Gala soon. The micro-movie is going to be broadcast after the Spring Festival Gala, and it will definitely attract a lot of attention at that time. You should communicate with your brokerage company more, and the opportunity is not to be missed."
Zhang Kexuan's current reputation is much greater than that of Chen Kun. After all, Chen Kun just graduated from the film academy and just made a TV series. His real popularity will wait until "Golden Fen Family" comes out. His current reputation is worse than Zhang Kexuan's. It's not a level. Regarding the simple plan to go to the Spring Festival Gala, many media have reported it during this time, and Chen Kun has also heard about it. If he can cooperate with him to make a movie, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for him. opportunity. (To be continued.)
