It took two and a half months to revise and revise the script, and it was difficult for these screenwriters to come up, and Li Mu rejected the manuscript several times, and finally came up with a script that could make him nod.

Of course, this is just the script of the whole play, and then the character script will be broken down, hey, anyway, if you do the writing work, it's just one word - hard!

After getting the script, the first thing Li Mu wanted to find was not an actor, but a director! For such a big drama, there are really few people in the circle who can afford to hold the guide tube!

Mainly focus on a few directors from CCTV.

As for the famous directors in Xiangjiang and Baodao, it's okay to shoot the flying car blasting, but it's really not a big scene like this.

"These directors are all ruthless characters, I'm afraid it's not easy to invite, right?" Shi Ran pursed his lips with some schadenfreude.

Li Mu is also scratching his scalp, the key problem now is that he does not have a way to contact these people, this is the disadvantage of not having connections, Huaxia is a humane society, and this is even more so in the entertainment industry.

It's like Boss Ma brought a few kung fu superstars over to make a short film, as if you can really do whatever you want if you have money, but in fact, most of them are here for Jet Li's face!

For another example, Jet Li played the role of Fuji Detective at the beginning, and he still played a supporting role? Did he really not know that this was a bad movie?

In fact, this kind of bad movie with a chaotic plot can be known even if newcomers in the industry look at the script.

The reason why he knows that it is a bad movie is that Wang Ziming, the director of the two detectives, has a good old lady, and his mother is the famous producer - Cui Baozhu!

To put it bluntly, Jet Li received the favor of Cui Baozhu in Xiangjiang back then, and the film that took over the detective was just Jet Li returning the favor!

Just when Li Mu was at a loss, Liang Hongfei said: "Our old man has a familiar director, and he is named in the CCTV TV drama production center, but he is just ..........."

Li Mu said anxiously: "Just what?"

"It's just that she is a daughter, and she is not very old............," Liang Hongfei said.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, if you can catch a mouse, it's a good cat, as long as you can make a good film, I care about her men and women!" Li Mu said.

"Okay, I'll say hello to my dad first!" Liang Hongfei hesitated for a moment and dialed the old man's phone.

The old man muttered on the other end of the phone for half a minute before agreeing to help Li Mu build a bridge.

Li Mu also hurriedly packed his luggage and rushed to the capital with Liang Hongfei and arrived at the old man's house.

said that he was an old man, but in fact, he was not very old, he was around fifty years old, he looked very energetic, and he chatted about the movie while sitting with Li Mu.

Liang Hongfei was dragged in by his mother's ears, probably complaining that he had not been at home for so long.

"Xiao Li, I heard that you are going to make a big move this time?" said Old Man Liang.

Li Mu nodded: "The investment budget for this drama is 200 million, but I estimate that it is not enough, and the final investment may be about 300 million!"

Hiss, the old man gasped: "Then, you can't get back by selling it to the TV station, right?"

Li Mu smiled: "That's natural, but isn't there still the broadcast copyright of the online platform now, and the TV series is just to gain popularity, and I can do a lot of things around this IP in the future." ”

Old Man Liang nodded suddenly, although the movie is higher than the TV series in terms of income and artistic status, but the Chinese TV series are still the most influential dynamic media, there is no one!

"Sure enough, you are young and promising, our family is far worse than you!" Old Man Liang did not hesitate to praise him.

Li Mu waved his hand again and again: "Don't say that, Liang Hongfei is now an 800 million director, and his reputation is resounding!"

Old Man Liang scoffed: "I have read both the movie and the script, and 70% of the success is on the script, as far as the bad script he wrote before, it is difficult to say that the box office of eight million is too much!"

Li Mule is happy, if you don't say that this is the two of you, you won't hide it at all!

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, Li Mu stopped the old man, got up and went to open the door.

"It's Xiao Yang here, right?"

The person who came was a woman, who looked like she was about forty years old, and she was very well maintained, and it seemed that thirty-five was also believed, and her appearance was not beautiful, but she was also dignified and had a lot of aura.

"Yo, do you still have guests today?" the woman was slightly stunned when she saw Li Mu.

I don't know if I heard the movement outside, or if Liang's mother had learned enough and went out of the room.

"Xiao Yang is here, you talk first, I'll go out and buy some vegetables!"

Liang Hongfei glanced at the woman and hurriedly followed: "Mom, I'll go with you!"

There were only three of them left in the living room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Old Man Liang hurriedly beckoned the woman to sit down, greeted each other, and introduced each other.

"This is Director Yang, graduated from the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, when I was 80 years old, the Broadcasting Academy invited me to give a few public lectures, when she was just a sophomore.........."

Li Mu was surprised, it turned out that there was still this incense love between teachers and students.

Director Yang is also looking at this "boss" who looks too young to talk, this one has been in the limelight recently, a low-cost comedy sold 800 million at the box office, which is legendary enough, and this one actually released a rumor that he would invest 200 million to shoot a TV series!

Of course, she probably guessed in her heart that the purpose of Old Man Liang calling her over, and she couldn't help but be a little entangled in her heart!

It stands to reason that such a film with a huge investment amount is unattainable, but after all, the foundation of "Muzi Studio" is too thin, and whether it can bear such a heavy burden has to be a question mark!

Li Mu saw that the atmosphere was a little deadlocked, and he didn't say much, and took out a thick stack of scripts from his bag: "Director Yang, you can take a look at the script first, I have actually been preparing this play for two years, including the original author of this play, so please believe that I definitely didn't make a decision with a hot head!"

In order to reassure Director Yang, Li Mu even broke the news again.

Old Man Liang didn't think there was anything yet, but Director Yang knew the popularity of "Jiang Ye" on the Internet, and his eyes were a little strange when he looked at Li Mu again.

It is already very difficult for a person to be at the top of an industry, and this guy used to be in the music industry, not to mention that he was making a movie across the border, and he also achieved a box office of 800 million, and now he is actually emerging as an online author.

............

Director Yang restrained his mind and took the script, and he was attracted by the characters at this glance, and he couldn't extricate himself from it for a while.

After a while, Director Yang closed the script: "According to the budget you announced, this drama is 200 million ............"

Old Man Liang answered directly for Li Mu: "Xiao Li talked to me, the final investment will be about 300 million, this kid is rich, and he is also a practical person, and there will be no shortage of funds!"

Li Mu echoed: "This time, there will be 300 million box office dividends alone, plus the copyright income of the song, it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than 100 million ............. a year."

It's not that I don't know, it turns out that Li Mu has unknowingly completed five small goals?

Director Yang was a little surprised, Li Mu was able to get so much box office share from Huayi?

Just as Liang Hongfei was saying that they were coming back from shopping for vegetables, there was a sound of kitchen knives touching the board in the kitchen.

"The cast of this play ............."

Before Li Mu could finish speaking, he answered: "Director Yang, don't worry, except for the hero and heroine, all the other roles are up to you!"

"That's okay, I'll take this play, but if the drama of the hero and heroine doesn't pass, don't blame me for turning my face!" Director Yang also readily agreed, this play is also a good opportunity for her, the bosses have already talked about this, if you don't continue, you will be a little ignorant of current affairs!

Li Mu was both happy and bitter when she heard her say this: "Then you have to be merciful, I will hand over more than 100 catties to you!"

Director Yang was stunned by what he said, and then he reacted and laughed: "Okay, you are working so hard just to praise yourself?"

"Haha~~~" Old Man Liang was also amused.

Li Mu spread his hands, who did he talk to?

Director Yang is also a cheerful person, and he followed Li Mu to the magic capital the next day.

"I also took the time to read the script last night, and found that there are a lot of live-action shots in it, and it is also a lot of difficulty to restore the scenery in the script. ”

Li Mu nodded, in fact, in order to restore the original version of "Jiangye" to a high degree, the scene in the original book invited the Japanese palace-level art master Yoshitaka Amano, maybe this name is not very famous, but when it comes to his work "Final Fantasy", it is estimated that everyone knows it, right?

"Director Yang must have chosen someone in his heart when he said this, right?"

Director Yang didn't shirk it, and nodded: "I have a friend named Huo Tingxiao, who is a very talented art master............"

Li Mu waved his hand: "Director Yang, we have spoken before, you have the final say on the crew's affairs, I only look at the final effect!"

Within two days, this Huo Tingxiao came to the magic capital, and he looked average, but he was quite cool, and he did not have the "eclectic" appearance of the artist as Li Mu imagined.

After the crew was formed, Li Mu didn't ask again, anyway, the producer is Xia Yu, even if he is his own person, he is not afraid of suffering in this regard.

But halfway through, Li Mu and Director Yang had an interview with Liu Ying.

Liu Ying thought that Li Mu was joking with her at first, how could it be?

As a result, Liu Ying had insomnia, couldn't sleep for several nights, and during the interview, she had dark circles under her eyes.

Director Yang walked around this girl, didn't even let her try the play, pulled her face and teased: "These other conditions are very suitable for the character, but this skin is a little whiter, don't wear anti-cream when you go out in the future!"

"Huh?" Liu Ying had a stunned expression, didn't she say that she was the number one actress? Why isn't it that the more beautiful and the whiter the skin, the better?
