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 too close communication with her, but handed her over to Lin Qingya and Wang Nan, and all the preparations before the launch of the portal were also handed over to Wang Nan, who prepared and strived to go online as soon as possible.

In the past few days, Li Mu didn't even care about close contact with Zhao Ziqiu's little goblin who was obsessed with death, he only took the initiative to have a meal with her in the evening, gave her the skirt he bought for her in Hong Kong, and then buried himself in other things, Zhao Ziqiu missed Li Mu very much psychologically and physiologically these days, but he could see that he was very busy, so he couldn't bear to tell him that his mother bought her a suite between the National People's Congress and Yan Daju.

Although Li Mu also misses Zhao Ziqiu's gentle township, it's just that he has to take some time to write the script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" every night recently, and he plans to finish it quickly in the next two days, and when Ning Hao helps to meet Teng Huatao, he can show him the script.

"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" It is a semi-autobiographical novel of Nine Knives, and 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 the names are changed, there will be at least 50 million people in the 1.3 billion people on both sides of the strait who feel that this story is very similar or similar to their own experience, so as long as the plot of the local style of Taiwan is appropriately mainlandized, and then make a little appropriate modification to the characters, I will ensure that the nine knives themselves feel the same as those 50 million people.

After the script was completed, Li Mu asked Ning Hao to help him make an appointment with Teng Huatao to meet, just as Ning Hao had just returned from inspecting the filming site in Yuzhou, he immediately made an appointment with Teng Huatao to meet, Teng Huatao had no film at hand recently, and was traveling in other places, and promised to arrive in Beijing in two days after receiving a call from Ning Hao, and contact him as soon as possible.

Teng Huatao is not a well-known director now, and the main direction is in TV dramas, so few people are willing to ask him to make a movie, I heard that Makino Imaging wants to invest in making a campus youth love movie, Teng Huatao is still very excited, although he has not seen the script, but he believes in the strength of Makino Imagino, backed by such a large company as Makino Technology, the money in his hand must be indispensable, so if they want to invest in movies, the budget must not be less, and the budget is enough is a very important prerequisite for making movies, and many of the director's ideas and ambitions need to be supported by a budget。

Li Mu didn't carefully calculate and think about how high the budget should be for "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", but most of the scenes in this movie are concentrated on the campus, so the overall production cost will be much lower, in terms of actors, the male number one must be Zhang Kexuan, the female number one must also be Du Wei, there are many people who can consider the male number two, Chen Kun, who has worked with him, is a good choice, and there are many "little fresh meat" in Chinese opera and Yanjing Film Academy Male actors are also good choices, and this can be decided by Teng Huatao, but the female No. 2 Li Mu has already had a psychological candidate, that is, Su Yingxue's cousin Wang Xinran.

If the preliminary preparations for this movie go well, there will definitely be no problem with the start of filming in the summer, the shooting speed of this kind of movie with fewer changes in the scene is already fast, plus the female number two is not very much, Wang Xinran has enough time to spare a month in the summer vacation, which can be regarded as allowing her to be electrocuted in advance and accumulate some performance experience, and Li Mu has also heard that the film academy, The freshmen of the performance department of Chinese opera are divided into two categories, one is those who have never acted, and the other is those who have acted, because almost all the freshmen in the acting department have a good appearance, so what really determines their status after admission is to see if they have acting experience.

Back then, Xia Yu, who played "Sunny Days", entered the Chinese opera with the name of the actor, so as soon as he entered, he was a man of the hour, and the name of the actor was of great help to his study and life in the Chinese opera, of course, it was a pity that he did not find a good development direction in the later stage;

Later, when Guan Xiaotong was admitted to Yenching Film Academy, she was also a popular figure in the school for a time, and the media chased and reported it for a long time, and the reason is very simple, she has enough experience in performing before, and she is already a senior for students of the same age.

Li Mu also wants to accumulate some such experience for Wang Xinran, although he can't give her the female number one, but it is already a very, very rare opportunity to make her debut with a female number two, if her performance passes, she will definitely take care of her in the shooting of other movies in the future.

Two days later, Li Mu and Teng Huatao met, this time Ning Hao accompanied him throughout the meeting, with him, although Li Mu and Teng Huatao met for the first time, they chatted very speculatively, and they both felt that they were still relatively appetizing.

Teng Huatao cared about the script, Li Mu gave him the script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and asked him to take a look at it on the spot, Teng Huatao began to read it seriously after taking the script, Li Mu chatted with Ning Hao on the side and asked him: "How is the site selection?"

Ning Hao said with a smile: "It's very smooth, I talked about a temple in the city, called Luohan Temple, and I am going to use it as the main shooting scene, but the shooting of Luohan Temple is only taken from the outside, and the framing involving the inside of the temple is placed in a relatively large temple outside Yuzhou City, which will be more convenient." ”

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

Ning Hao said: "I went to Yuzhou this time, and I also found a few local actors. ”

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

"Yes!" Ning Hao said with a little excitement: "I have already talked about a few very suitable candidates, and they are all very willing to join, let them come to Yanjing to have a meeting before the start of filming, and after sorting out the script, everyone can start work." ”

Saying that, Ning Hao added: "Liu Tianwang's schedule is relatively full, so he will go directly to Yuzhou two days before the start of filming." ”

Li Mu put his mind at ease, Liu Tianwang starred, in terms of performance effect alone, it may not be more suitable than the original actor, but he is famous, and spending more money to invite him is 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 in the local area, but he didn't know what kind of way to ask, and after hesitation, he pretended to be curious and asked: "What is the situation of the few actors you are looking for in the local area?" ”

Ning Hao said a little excitedly: "The local repertory troupe in Yuzhou is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, there are many excellent comedians, this time various roles may find more than a dozen actors from the local repertory troupe to help, and an old classmate also introduced me to an actor of the Sichuan Art Troupe, who was rated as one of the top ten comedians in Sichuan and Shu in the early years. ”

Li Mu doesn't know if he is talking about Wang Xun, if so, of course it is the best, Li Mu still admires this actor very much, the character is very well shaped, whether it is "Crazy Stone", or "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment", "Militia Ge Erdan" and other film and television dramas, he has a very good performance and is a talent.

Ning Hao said again: "By the way, I also communicated with Tang Wei, she has read the script, is very interested in the role of the black boss's girlfriend, and is willing to act, and she herself is a director, so this time I want to be an assistant director with the group throughout the whole process to accumulate experience." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "She is an assistant director Qu Cai, and she will definitely develop into an actor 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 road in her previous life was not easy, although "Lust and Caution" made her, but it also caused her trouble for a time, and has been criticized by some people, according to the thinking mode of Chinese people, Li Mu does not want her to take a film like "Lust and Caution" in her life, although the film is a good film, but let others act, if Makino Imaging can give her a good opportunity, she does not have to take the risk of taking over the film "Lust and Caution", which is difficult for domestic audiences to accept.

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

Li Mu said: "You call everyone to Yanjing to say hello when you have a meeting, and I'll go over and have a look." ”

Ning Hao nodded: "Okay!"

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

Putting down the script, Teng Huatao said: "Mr. Li, the overall structure of this script is very complete, the splicing is also very ingenious, the story is warm and real, although it is a bit regrettable, but it is also in line with the tone of youth love, the whole makes people feel bright, very good, I am willing to shoot!"

Li Mu nodded and smiled, Teng Huatao is now very persistent in the pursuit of movies because there are few opportunities to make movies, and he personally likes films with the theme of youth love very much, this "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" can easily attract and move him, and the current youth romance films are either fake or hypocritical, and there is really no such more down-to-earth and more warm and real script.

Li Mu said: "Since you are willing to take it, then I will 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." ”

Teng Huatao said a little bottomless, the current three million is really a huge amount of money, excluding the actor's salary, and using the three million production fee to make such a simple movie with a scene is already considered a high standard, if you give those directors who specialize in making digital movies, one million is estimated to be useless, but Teng Huatao also wants to keep improving, so he opened this price of three million, if Li Mu agrees to this production standard, then he can play more.

Li Mu didn't hesitate: "Okay, three million is no problem at all!"
