The first volume is just the second hundred and seventy-first chapter of the boy ready to be filmed

Next chapter

Li Mu didn't tell most of the people around him about the movie, the day before Ning Hao had already sent away the equipment and personnel to leave Yanjing by plane, Li Mu told Su Yingxue about the movie-

Su Yingxue now has a certain immunity to Li Mu's ability to toss things, she was just a little surprised, and soon returned to normal, I heard that the important scene of Li Mu going back to shoot the movie this time was the alma mater of the two in high school, Su Yingxue, who has always been calm, was a little excited, and couldn't wait to go back to witness Li Mu's "grand occasion" as a director and filming at her alma mater, but unfortunately she just went home a few days ago, and it is a little too much to say if she goes back this time.

Zhao Kang didn't want to miss this kind of good show, but there were still a bunch of things waiting for him to do in Yanjing right now, so this time he could only wish Li Mu a smooth shooting.

Li Mu told the brothers in the 606th dormitory that he was going home for a while, and when everyone asked, he just said that there were some things waiting to be done at home, and he didn't say anything more specific.

Before leaving, Li Mu made another phone call with Zhao Ziqiu and Chen Wan, which could be regarded as a relief, and followed more than a dozen crew members to get on the plane to Jinling.

Ning Hao made a systematic coordination of the rhythm of the entire filming, and now almost all of the people who go to Jinling together are the behind-the-scenes staff, after everyone arrives in Haizhou, they must first solve various preparations such as accommodation, catering, warehousing, venues, sets, props, etc., after all are done, Du Wei and Chen Kun and a vote of other actors will rush over from Yanjing, and they can start filming directly after they get to Haizhou.

on the plane. Ning Hao and Li Mu sat together, waiting for the plane to fly smoothly. He took out a notebook with a cowhide cover from his bag, and roughly sorted out the shooting process with Li Mu, including all the details in front of and behind the scenes, including the sequencing and coordination of each scene.

According to Li Mu's requirements, Ning Hao's highest in the shooting ranking is Du Wei's role. Ning Hao said that if Du Wei's acting skills were in the past. Then the role of this role can be completed within three days at the earliest, Li Mu is a little uncertain in his heart, how long Du Wei's role in Haizhou can be filmed depends on her talent in acting.

After Ning Hao finished the process to Li Mu, he said to Li Mu: "Actually, I think that since we are going to invest two million to shoot this drama, it is better to make the script a little fuller and shoot it to a length of 90 minutes, in this case." If the 40-minute micro-movie version becomes popular in the TV media, we can take the 90-minute version to theaters and release it, and then make a little gimmick, which is another amount of income. ”

Li Mu asked him: "I don't see it." Do you like to do this kind of stuffing and renewing mink?"

Ning Hao said seriously: "If I were a director, I would definitely not do this." ”

Li Mu asked him, "Why don't you do it and let me do it?"

Ning Hao said with a smile: "You are here to play tickets, you don't have to worry so much, I can't, I guess I am not good at anything other than being able to deal with movies in my life, so I have to pay attention to my reputation in the future." You're different, you're a businessman, you want to maximize profits. ”

Li Mu looked at him disdainfully, and said: "If I really want to pursue interests, I won't invest two million to shoot this thing, I don't make movies in the nature of playing tickets, in the future, I must make Makino Imaging into a domestic and even international first-class film production company, "Old Boy" micro film is just a stepping stone for me, as a layman, I don't understand the project planning of the film, and I don't understand the front and back of the movie. I don't know how to promote and distribute movies, and I don't even know where to look for the cinema relationship, if I make a big movie as soon as I come up, I am estimated to die very miserably, I am not afraid of losing money, but I am afraid that the money will not make any waves, so I entered the industry from "Old Boy" to practice, avoided the theater chain, and made a fuss directly on TV media and the Internet. ”

Ning Hao looked at Li Mu speechless for a long time, and now he really realized that although Li Mu is a layman in the film industry, although the focus is on the Internet, his attitude towards movies is serious, and now the domestic film market is not mature enough, most movies can't make back the cost when they are released in theaters, and the theater field is also deep, and people with no experience can't play at all, but Li Mu found another way, first bypassing the theater chain, and then contacting the industry, this choice is still very correct.

Li Mu said to Ning Hao seriously: "If we cooperate more happily this time, I will sign you under the banner of Makino Images, and you can receive a salary when you sign the contract, and from next year, I will vote for you at least one play every year." ”

Ning Hao swallowed his saliva and asked Li Mu, "You're not joking with me?"

Li Mu smiled: "Of course not, I didn't tell you last time, if you have a good book, come to me, I'll vote for you." ”

Ning Hao, who had always looked a little hanging, was suddenly moved, and asked Li Mu seriously: "Why do you trust me so much?"

Li Mu can't say that I'm a huge fan of "Crazy Stone", he can only say: "I believe in my own vision. ”

Ning Hao immediately said: "Okay, as long as you like me, I will definitely sign it!"

Li Mu nodded: "Just have your words, let's shoot "Old Boy" first, and we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

If you count it as a high-box office director, Ning Hao really can't shoot a very high position in the later stage, the box office of Crazy Stone is tens of millions, the box office of crazy racing is just over 100 million, and the box office of no man's land is more than 200 million, and the highest one is Xinhua Lufang, which is only 11 billion, which is very close to the box office of Pancake Man shot by Hanging Silk Man Dapeng, this report card is placed in 2015 and 2016, it is really nothing, Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment" is a few streets above him.

However, what Li Mu really likes is Ning Hao's black humor and the uniqueness of his narrative style.

Li Mu firmly believes that he is an extraordinary comedy master, but there is a lack of scripts that really fit the market in the later stage, if he is asked to shoot "Thai Embarrassment", although Li Mu does not dare to guarantee how much the box office can be improved, but at least he can guarantee that the level of production will exceed Xu Zheng by a grade, if he is allowed to shoot the entire embarrassing series, I believe that he can have a more in-depth interpretation of this series of comedies.

Being able to tell stories is the most basic trait of a good director, and Li Mu has this ability.

……

The plane landed in Jinling, and the bus that had been coordinated had long been carried everyone to Haizhou, this time the crew still chose the Haizhou Hotel, which is a little more expensive, but the conditions are good, and the geographical location is quite convenient.

When everyone arrived at the Haizhou Hotel, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and the car transporting the equipment had already arrived this afternoon, and it was parked in the compound of the Haizhou Hotel.

Li Mu did not go home, but lived directly in the Haizhou Hotel, a standard room, he and Ning Hao lived in a room, and the next morning, he had to go to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School with the staff with equipment to start preparing for filming.

Rest for one night, at seven o'clock the next morning, everyone has already had breakfast, set off from Haizhou Hotel to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School, last night's bus has become the filming car of the crew in Haizhou in the past few days, Li Mu also greeted Song Liang in advance, borrowed two GL8 to come over for emergency, Song Liang sent someone to drive to Haizhou Hotel early in the morning, and two GL8 followed the bus to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School.

Haizhou No. 1 Middle School is responsible for cooperating with Li Mu's homeroom teacher Pang Hai, Li Mu went to the school to meet with Pang Hai, first asked Pang Hai to arrange the staff to the office of the political and educational building for a short rest, and he took Ning Hao, as well as the photography and set staff, and began to inspect the classroom suitable for filming.

"The school theoretically supports your filming work unconditionally, but what I mean is that your main venue for filming is still try not to choose the graduating class, and you can choose the first and second grades of high school, first choose the classroom and then the students." ”

Li Mu said: "Teacher Pang, don't worry, we only choose from the first year of high school. ”

Ning Hao nodded and said, "We don't have any special requirements for choosing a classroom, just the third floor and Xiangyang." ”

Xiangyang is to have enough light during filming, as for the requirements of the third floor, it is because it is set in the script, Zhang Kexuan's classroom is on the third floor, there is a scene, Zhang Kexuan quietly climbed out of the window during self-study time to prepare to participate in the band rehearsal, but was bumped into by Du Wei downstairs.

After listening to these two requests, Da Dahai immediately smiled and said: "This is easy to do, classes 4 to 10 of the first year of high school are located on the south floor of the third floor, let's go and see it directly, if there is a suitable one, you can directly set it." ”

The teaching building of Haizhou No. 1 Middle School is a Lu zigzag, the upper and lower two mouths are connected together, there are four floors, Li Mu walked around with everyone on the south side of the third floor, and the two of them discussed the photography and scenery, and set the cleanest looking high school class 16.

After the scene selection, Li Mu asked Mr. Pang to negotiate with the school to bring an equipment room for the sports training team to place the shooting equipment.

After looking around, Ning Hao said to Li Mu: "Most of the scenes in the school have basically been set, and now there is still a location for the band's performance shots, where do you think this is appropriate?"

Li Mu said: "Set it in the playground, build a professional stage in the playground, don't save too much on the cost, you must produce the effect, the visual effect must meet the standard, and the auditory effect cannot be ignored. ”

Ning Hao nodded: "This is no problem, I'll coordinate, the other important thing is the train station and the camera on the train, when do you coordinate it, let's go over and take a look." ”

Li Mu said: "I'll make a call, and I should be able to go over to see the venue soon." ”

Li Mu has no acquaintances at the train station, but with Song Liang, the head snake, he can just find someone to say hello, and all the links at the train station can be opened. (To be continued.) )
