Chapter 575 "Those Years" Finalized

Although Li Mu admires Lu Xinyi very much, in any case, in her future company structure, she is only a third-line management position, so after she joined Muye Technology, Li Mu did not maintain close communication with her, but put her It was handed over to Lin Qingya and Wang Nan, and all the preparatory work before the launch of the portal was also handed over to Wang Nan, who made the preparations and strived to launch as soon as possible.

In the past few days, Li Mu didn't even care about being in close contact with Zhao Ziqiu, the fascinated little goblin. He only took one evening to take the initiative to have a meal with her and give her the dress he bought for her in Hong Kong. Then he immersed himself in other things. Zhao Ziqiu has missed Li Mu very much psychologically and physically these days, but he could see that he was very busy, so he endured not to tell him that his mother gave her a place between the National People's Congress and Yan University. Bought a suite thing.

Although Li Mu also misses Zhao Ziqiu's gentle township, he recently took time every night to write the script for "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". He plans to finish it quickly in the next two days and wait for Ning Hao to help meet Teng Hua When talking, I can show him the script.

"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is a semi-autobiographical novel by Nine Swords. The basis of the story comes from his own first love story, but for Li Mu, this is not a problem, because such a love story, as long as All the names have been changed, and at least 50 million of the 1.3 billion people on both sides of the strait will feel that this story is very similar or similar to their own experience, so as long as it is appropriate to mainlandize the story that is more Taiwanese and local, and then Make some appropriate changes to the characters, and make sure that the nine knives will feel the same as the 50 million people who see them.

After the script was completed, Li Mu asked Ning Hao to help him make an appointment with Teng Huatao. It happened that Ning Hao had just returned from the inspection of the filming site in Yuzhou, so he immediately made an appointment to meet with Teng Huatao. When traveling abroad, after receiving a call from Ning Hao, he promised to arrive in Beijing in two days, and contact him as soon as possible.

Teng Huatao is not yet a well-known director, and his main direction is TV dramas, so few people are willing to ask him to make movies. Hearing that Makino Imaging wants to invest in a campus youth love movie, Teng Huatao is still very excited. Although he hasn't seen the script yet, he believes in the strength of Makino Imaging. Backed by a large company like Makino Technology, the money in his hands must be indispensable. Therefore, if they want to cast a movie, the budget must not be small, and the budget is sufficient to make the film. A very important premise of the film, many ideas and aspirations of the director, need to be supported by the budget.

Li Mu did not carefully calculate and consider how high the budget should be for "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", but most of the scenes in this film are concentrated on campus, so the overall production cost will be much lower. , the male lead is definitely Zhang Kexuan, and the female lead is definitely Du Wei. There are many people who can be considered for the male lead. Chen Kun, who has worked with him, is a good choice. There are many "Xiao Xian" in China Opera and Yanjing Film Academy. "Meat" actors are also good choices. This can be decided by Teng Huatao, but Li Mu, the second female lead, has already had a psychological candidate, and that is Su Yingxue's cousin Wang Xinran.

If the preparatory work for this film goes well, it will definitely be no problem to start filming in the summer. The filming speed of this kind of film with less scene changes is already fast.

In addition, the second female role is not very large, Wang Xinran's summer vacation is enough for a month, it can be regarded as giving her an electric shock in advance, and accumulating some performance experience, and Li Mu has also heard that the acting department of the Film Academy and Chinese Opera The freshmen are divided into two categories, one has never acted, and the other has acted. Because almost all freshmen in the acting department are quite good-looking, so what really determines their status after admission is to see if they have No performance experience.

Back then, Xia Yu, who had acted in "Sunny Days", entered the Chinese opera under the name of an actor, so as soon as he entered, he was a man of the year. It is a pity that we did not find a good development direction in the later stage;

Later, when Guan Xiaotong was admitted to the Yanjing Film Academy, she was once a popular figure in the school. The media chased and reported it for a long time, and the reason was very simple. She had sufficient experience in acting before, and for students of the same age, she had already It's a senior.

Li Mu also wanted to accumulate some such experience for Wang Xinran. Although it was impossible to give her the No. 1 female lead, it was already a very, very rare opportunity to make her debut with the No. 2 female lead. I will definitely take care of her in the shooting of other movies.

Two days later, Li Mu and Teng Huatao met. This time, Ning Hao accompanied him throughout the meeting. With him, Li Mu and Teng Huatao met for the first time, but they chatted very speculatively.

Teng Huatao cared about the script, so Li Mu gave him the script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and asked him to take a look first. After Teng Huatao took over the script, he began to read it seriously, while Li Mu was on the side Chat with Ning Hao and ask him, "How is the location selection?"

Ning Hao smiled and said, "It went well. We talked about a temple in the city, called Luohan Temple, and planned to use it as the main shooting scene, but the Luohan Temple was only shot from the outside, and the interior of the temple was involved, so it was placed in Yuzhou. It will be more convenient to shoot in a relatively large temple outside the city.”

Li Mu nodded: "It's OK if you think it suits you."

Ning Hao said, "I went to Yuzhou this time and found a few actors there."

Li Mu immediately thought of Wang Xun and the local actors in the film who spoke with a Yuzhou accent, and couldn't help but ask him, "How is it, is there a suitable candidate?"

"Yes!" Ning Hao said a little excitedly, "I have met a few very suitable candidates, I have already talked about it, and they are all very willing to join, let them come to Yanjing for a meeting before shooting, After the script is sorted out, everyone can start work.”

After speaking, Ning Hao added: "Liu Tianwang's schedule is quite full, so he will go directly to Yuzhou two days before the shooting starts."

Li Mu was relieved, and Liu Tianwang was playing. In terms of performance, it was not necessarily more suitable than the original actor Lian Jin, but he was famous, and paying him more was to add a gimmick to the movie and greatly increase the popularity of the movie.

Li Mu wanted to ask him if there was Wang Xun among the actors he was looking for locally, but he didn't know what method to ask. What is the situation of the actors you found? Let me introduce you."

Ning Hao said a little excitedly: "The local drama troupe in Yuzhou is really a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are many excellent comedians. This time, various roles may find more than a dozen actors from the local drama troupe to help out, and an old classmate will help. He also introduced me to an actor from the Sichuan Art Troupe, who was named one of the top ten comedians in Sichuan and Sichuan a few years ago, and we met for a meal a few days ago, and he is also a very good old actor."

Li Mu doesn't know if he is talking about Wang Xun. If so, of course it's the best. Li Mu still appreciates this actor very much. The characterization is very good, whether it is "Crazy Stone", "My Head, My Group", In film and television dramas such as "Military Ge Erdan", he has performed very well and is a talent.

Ning Hao added: "By the way, I have also communicated with Tang Wei. She has read the script and is very interested in the role of the black boss's girlfriend. She is willing to play the role, and she herself is studying directing, so this time she wants to I worked as an assistant director with the group throughout the whole process and accumulated experience.”

Li Mu smiled and said, "She is now an assistant director, and she will definitely develop into an actor's line in the future, but since she likes it, you can take her with you."

Tang Wei is also Li Mu's favorite actress. Her star path in her previous life was not easy. Although Lust, Caution made her a success, it once brought her troubles, and has been criticized by some people. According to the Chinese thinking mode , Li Mu also doesn't want her to pick up films like "Lust, Caution" in her life. Although the film is a good film, let others play it. If Muye Imaging can give her a good chance, she will also There is no need to take the risk of filming a film like Lust, Caution, which is somewhat difficult for domestic audiences to accept.

Ning Hao said, "I'm almost ready here, and we can start filming in July."

Li Mu said, "You call everyone to Yanjing to say hi to me when they meet, and I'll go take a look."

Ning Hao nodded: "Okay!"

After waiting for Teng Huatao for more than half an hour, he quickly finished the script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

Putting down the script, Teng Hua said: "Mr. Li, the overall structure of this script is very complete, the splicing is also very clever, and the story is warm and true. Although it is a bit regrettable, it also fits the tone of youthful love. Liang, very good, I would like to shoot!"

Li Mu nodded and smiled, Teng Huatao is very persistent in his pursuit of movies because he has few opportunities to make movies, and he personally likes movies about youth love very much. This "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is easy to make To attract and impress him, the current youth romance films are either fake or hypocritical, and there really is no such more down-to-earth, warm and true script.

Li Mu said: "Since you are willing to accept it, then I can rest assured that I will hand over the book to you. How much do you think the budget for this drama will cost?"

Teng Huatao said: "If you don't count the actor's salary, three million is enough."

What Teng Hua said is a bit vague. The current 3 million is really a huge sum of money. After removing the actor's salary, it is already a high standard to make a movie with such a simple scene for the production fee of 3 million. If it is given to those directors who specialize in making digital movies, it is estimated that one million will not be used. However, Teng Huatao also wants to keep improving, so he offers the price of three million. If Li Mu agrees to this production standard, then he can use it. There are more places.

Li Mu didn't hesitate: "OK, three million is totally fine!"
