Hearing that the bald head left a message for herself through the studio, Morningstar was very surprised, in her heart, she had already regarded the bald couple as friends, and after she changed the new number, she specially sent the new number to their husband and wife.

She took out her mobile phone, and then she realized what was going on, it turned out that she turned off her mobile phone after boarding the plane in the afternoon, and when she came back, she was busy going to the audition, and she forgot to turn it on.

She turned on her mobile phone, and sure enough, there were a bunch of phone messages and text messages, and she quickly replied to the bald head: "Bald head, you are awesome, you actually made a movie by yourself! I just came back from the field, and I immediately went to the company to get the script!"

Li Mingxuan gave her a brief introduction to the script and told her the start date: "The script is being approved, there should be no major problems according to the convention, it is estimated that the start time will be in mid-August, I know that you are a busy person now, if you think it is good, leave the schedule to me, I am going to shoot this movie for about 100 days." ”

"No problem!" Morning Star agreed: "Our cooperation is very pleasant, I have long wanted to film with you again!"

Hearing the tone of Morning Star's call back to Li Mingxuan, Wang Mao realized that Morning Star had a good personal relationship with Li Mingxuan, and hurriedly reminded her: "I'll help you read the book first, if you don't pick up the role, don't be emotional, making a movie is time-consuming and laborious, if the book is not selected well, the box office is very poor, not only wasted time, but also smashed your own signboard!"

"Boss, you will definitely be satisfied!" Morning Star was very confident: "The bald head has an excellent comedy talent, and he has been pondering this book for more than a year, and he is a serious person, he must be very good!"

"Don't take it for granted!" Wang Mao couldn't help but pour cold water on her: "Over the years, there have been a lot of actors who have changed careers to become directors, but there are very few who have really succeeded in transformation, you know Teacher Wen Li, she can be called the first person in the Mesozoic Generation, and she has won all kinds of awards, but the year before last, she prepared and made a movie by herself, starring herself, and the box office was only 2 million yuan.

Chenxing still thinks that a bald head can definitely be a good director, when she was filming "Happy Enemies" with him in Wang Zhaoxing's crew, as long as he didn't have a scene, he would guide the executive director to film on the side, Wang Zhaoxing said more than once that at the level of bald heads, he can be a director by himself!

I heard that the theme of the bald head is comedy, and Morning Star is looking forward to it, she didn't listen to Wang Mao's first go home to rest, but directly asked the driver to drive the car to the studio, she had to get the script first and then go home.

Wang Mao had no choice but to let Zhang Bin work hard for a while longer, and make a copy of the script that Li Mingxuan brought over, and he read it at the same time as Morning Star.

Morningstar got the script, went home and took a shower, and immediately started reading it, there are a lot of funny scenes in the script, Morningstar read dozens of pages, and laughed so much that her cheeks hurt, and when she saw eleven o'clock, she restrained herself with great perseverance and went to bed on time.

She got up at half past five the next morning, read the script until four o'clock in the afternoon, and did not move at all except for two meals in between.

At half past four, the stylist Xiao Pei came to go to producer Zhang Zhaohui's studio with her, the new movie she and Pei Haoyuan collaborated on was about to start, the title had been changed to "Love Formula", Zhang Zhaohui asked her and Pei Haoyuan to go to the studio to try on clothes at this time.

Morningstar tried ten sets of clothes, and two shirt dresses didn't fit well, so he discussed with Zhang Zhaohui to bring her own, Zhang Zhaohui quickly agreed, he knew that Morningstar's private clothes must be more advanced than the clothes customized by the crew, but he couldn't say it, when filming the movie, let the actors bring their own clothes, and the crew did not prepare costumes for the actors.

Coming out of Zhang Zhaohui, Pei Haoyuan nodded to her: "Morning Star, we are newcomers in the film industry, and our film is a small production, so the group will not spend too much money on our costumes and props, we want the quality of the movie to be higher, and we should prepare more clothes ourselves!"

Morning Star suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I know, I will bring all the clothes that the crew can wear, and let my assistant help me clean up tonight!"

Back at home, Chenxing began to concentrate on reading the script again, and after reading it for two days in a row, she was deeply attracted by the plot, and immediately called Wang Mao: "Boss, this book is very good, let's sign a contract with Li Mingxuan!"

Wang Mao just read more than half of it, and he also thought the script was good, but he still had some doubts about the bald director's level and the financial situation of the crew, so he said to Morning Star: "That's it, I'll go to Li Mingxuan in person tomorrow to learn about his shooting ideas and fund planning, if the shooting funds are abundant, we will take this scene." ”

Wang Mao personally went to visit Li Mingxuan the next day, Li Mingxuan originally wanted to go out to inspect a few shooting locations, but when he heard that he came in person, he knew his purpose, so he quickly postponed the trip and chatted with Wang Mao in the studio for five or six hours.

After this chat, Wang Mao admired the bald head so much, he felt that the bald head was a natural comedian, a casual action and an expression, all full of laughter, and what is even more rare is that his thinking about the expression of comedy can be called the first person in China.

Wang Mao has been in the circle for many years, and knows that the audience has a huge demand for comedy films, and life is so tired, whether it is a middle school student who is deformed by the pressure of going to school, or a middle-aged person who is dying of being beaten by society, he needs to relax for a moment and put down something in laughter.

And comedy movies have always been easy to achieve high box office, and this bald film reflects the difficulties of the little people and the life of laughter and tears, as long as the production level is medium to high, it is easy to break out of the encirclement of many literary films and science fiction films and achieve a proud box office.

After the conversation, he immediately replied to Morningstar, ready to sign the agreement with the bald head, and Morningstar specially told him: "The bald head is an old friend, the price is discounted, your loss, and then I will make up for it to you from the advertising fee." ”

The bald head knows that Morning Star is hot now, and he also recognizes Morning Star's acting skills, so he offered a price of 6 million, which is very high compared to Morning Star's popularity in the film industry.

"We are old friends, the most important thing is to make a good movie together, you know Morningstar, she is affectionate, not a person who cares about money, you make this movie into a high-quality product, it is a win-win situation for the two of you. ”

The bald head knew what Wang Mao meant, and assured him: "You bring a message to Morning Star, I will never disappoint her trust, and I will work hard to make new ideas in the movie, you tell her, I am also very ambitious, I want to create a new era of comedy films!"

After signing the agreement with the bald side, Morningstar took the stylist, Huang Jing, Mao Zhizhi and life assistant Xiao Huang to report to the crew of "Love Formula", and the crew set the main location of filming in T City and Oxfordtown, England, and they went to T City first at their first stop.

The preparation of this film was a bit hasty, the producer contacted several directors successively, and it was not until February that the bent urban director Pu Licheng was decided, his film style has always been known for its delicacy and depth, because the signing was relatively late, and he met Morning Star and Pei Haoyuan for the first time.

On the first day to the crew, Director Pu tried the two scenes of Morning Star and Pei Haoyuan, and was very satisfied with the acting skills of the two of them, and immediately patted his chest with the producer to ensure that such a good actor, he promised to complete the filming within 80 days.

This is the second cooperation between Pei Haoyuan and Morning Star, the two sides have a very tacit understanding, often as soon as Morning Star frowns, Pei Haoyuan knows where she is dissatisfied, and as soon as Pei Haoyuan says Wait a minute, Morning Star knows that his expression is not in place.

Pei Jing supervised the two of them on the spot, and when she thought that their performance was insufficient or deviated, she would immediately put forward suggestions for improvement, Director Pu learned her identity, and also respected her opinion very much, as long as she said that there was something wrong, she would immediately let the executive director reshoot.

After a few days of shooting, Chenxing felt that she had made great progress, she needed Pei Jing's on-site guidance based on reality while talking about theory, and many of her comprehensions of performance were unknown to her, and Teacher Pei Jing was the guiding light that made her understand why.

After Zhou Yimin gave Morningstar such a reply, he asked Ye Zixia, who was very optimistic about the producer, to audition, and after the audition, the producer also agreed with Zhou Yimin's opinion that among the three, Morningstar is the best in terms of acting skills, appearance and fit with the role.

The producer wanted to directly notify Morningstar to come over and sign the agreement, but Zhou Yimin asked him to wait, he felt that he had released enough bait, and if Morningstar wanted to have a place in the film industry as soon as possible, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

But he waited for a whole week, and there was no movement on Morningstar's side, he was a little unsure, and the people in the circle secretly inquired about what Morningstar was doing recently, and learned that she had gone to T City to film, and suddenly realized that Morningstar did not attach as much importance to this opportunity as he imagined.

He had no choice but to surrender to his dignity and call Wang Mao in person, wanting to talk to him about the cooperation between the two sides, but Wang Mao regrettably rejected him:

"Director Zhou, Morningstar just signed a movie contract, and the startup time is exactly in conflict with you, and the time we set aside for that movie is 100 days, I'm afraid I won't be able to take this film anymore!"

Wang Mao refused so unsparingly, which surprised Zhou Yimin, is there a director who is more famous than himself to find Morning Star?

He fed back the situation to the producer, and the producer blamed him for being so big: "You are really blindly confident this time! An actress like Jiang Chenxing, who has acting skills, traffic, and good looks, must be hot in the circle, let's be stunned, won't we have a chance? If your film is starring Jiang Chenxing, maybe it will still be a big hit!"

Listening to the producer say this, Zhou Yimin felt more and more regretful, human nature is sometimes so strange, when Morningstar was waiting to sign a contract with them, Zhou Yimin did not feel that Morningstar was the best and irreplaceable candidate, but when he learned that Morningstar would not cooperate with him again, he found that if the leading actor changed to other actors, this movie would no longer be a hit.

He was a little unwilling, so he asked a friend to ask the senior management of Haizi Film and Television Agency, which film was signed by Morningstar at that time?

It stands to reason that Morningstar's schedule is only known to people in Wang Mao's studio, but Liu Bili has been very vigilant about Morningstar since she auditioned with Morningstar, and she herself is a villain, so she thinks that Morningstar may use improper means to compete with her, so she secretly sent someone to quietly follow Wang Mao.

Wang Mao contacted Li Mingxuan, the two sides chatted happily and ate and drank together, and signed a shooting contract on the spot at the wine table.

Knowing that Morningstar had signed an agreement with Li Mingxuan, she thought that Zhou Yimin had rejected Morningstar, and suddenly felt that her hopes were doubled, so she asked her agent Chen Shuo to inquire about Zhou Yimin's assistant to see how much opportunity she had here.

Zhou Yimin's assistant didn't know that Zhou Yimin Morningstar refused here, and after drinking a bottle of wine with Chen Shuo, he revealed the news that Zhou Yimin was more optimistic about Morningstar to Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo was very surprised and asked, "Impossible, right? As far as we know, Jiang Chenxing signed an agreement with Li Mingxuan to shoot a comedy film prepared by him, and the start time of that film was only ten days later than Director Zhou's film, so it is impossible for Jiang Chenxing to take this drama!"

Zhou Yimin's assistant was also very surprised, and quickly fed back the news to Zhou Yimin, Zhou Yimin heard that he was intercepted by Li Mingxuan, a novice director, and secretly scolded Wang Mao in his heart, and felt that Morning Star was likely to be pitted by Wang Mao: Who doesn't know, novice directors can't make good movies if they don't pay the tuition in full.

He fed back the news to producer Liu Yi, and the producer asked him: "If you really want her to act, or should we make it bad?"

Zhou Yimin asked him to try, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing this, maybe he still helped Morning Star like this!

Liu Yi has been a producer for many years, so he naturally knows where to make a movie, where is the seven inches, he quickly inquired clearly, Li Mingxuan made this movie, the main investor is a Hong Kong businessman, but the domestic Sakura Film and Television Investment Fund also invested 40 million.

Through his friends, he talked to the senior management of the Sakura Film and Television Investment Fund: If they consider divesting their capital, he will give them the same shares as Li Mingxuan here.

His condition is very tempting, after all, Zhou Yimin's fame is not comparable to the novice Li Mingxuan.

The senior management of the Sakura Fund immediately hesitated, and after sending someone over to talk to Liu Yipan, they immediately made the decision to withdraw from Li Mingxuan's film, and Zhou Yimin also generously carried the liquidated damages for her.
