As early as the beginning of the year, when the "Lu Yong case" was reported, Mu Ming had the idea of adapting this incident into a movie.

Maybe it's because of the drama of the whole thing, maybe it's because it involves the sensitive topic of medical reform, in short, Mu Ming feels that this kind of adaptation will definitely be very interesting.

However, at that time, he was still busy filming "Room", and then it was a tense post-editing, as well as the trip to Cannes, including his later participation in "Riding the Wind and Waves", there was no time, so this matter was put aside for the time being.

Until the end of the filming of "Riding the Wind and Waves", Mu Ming's time was finally a lot easier. At this time, Mu Ming remembered this matter again, so she asked Chen Zhixi and the others to contact Lu Yong, hoping to get his authorization.

Although theoretically, the literary adaptation of such a publicly reported event does not require my authorization. However, when film and television companies encounter works of this theme, most of them will choose to negotiate the adaptation with the prototype himself before the project is initiated.

The main reason is that one is to facilitate the subsequent project approval, and the other is the main reason for being afraid of trouble. After all, although the adaptation itself is not infringing, it is still easy to be caught in the sore spot if you have the intention to pursue some privacy and reputation issues involved.

Shuimu Film and Lu Yong talked back and forth for about two or three months, and finally finalized a written agreement, which included a letter of intent to allow adaptation, the definition of the scope of adaptation, and other issues. In short, try to ensure that after the film is filmed, there will be any legal problems.

The authorization problem is solved, and the next thing to do is to approve the project and complete the first draft of the script.

On the side of the project, although Shuimu Film and Television is somewhat related, and Mu Ming himself, as one of the outstanding young directors who have emerged in recent years, is also quite favored by the above. But when it comes to the element of medical reform, no one knows how long it will take and how many times it will be revised before it can be passed.

This kind of thing actually depends on luck. is like "In the Name of the People", when the project was first established, it was stuck for a long time, and then the policy changed, and "anti-corruption and clean government" became a slogan that needed to be shouted, so the drama was passed.

Of course, the initiators of the slogan no longer need to shout the slogan, and the relevant review standards will naturally return to the previous standards.

It is said that after the hit of "In the Name of the People", many film and television companies followed the trend and set up film and television dramas with similar themes. As a result, after the filming was completed, I found that all of them were suppressed by censorship, and none of them could be broadcast.

Mu Ming is the same, once the medical reform policy has a major favorable reform, if you want to promote your image, this is the best time.

Anyway, Mu Ming is ready to take at least a year or two.

Other than that, it's time to finish the script. For this point, Mu Ming should actually be familiar with the road. After all, in the past few years, he has shot his own films, and he has led the completion of each draft of the script.

But the difference is that this time, he has no finished images in his mind to refer to, and there are no reviews and news about the dismantling and analysis of the film. All of this needs to be created by himself.

In front of this work, among all the advantages that rebirth has brought him, except for the thinking about movies in the past few years and the experience of actual shooting, the rest are useless.

He doesn't know what the finished product will be, whether it will be liked by the audience, what the final results will be, what the reputation is, and even whether he can really shoot a qualified work after leaving the memory of rebirth......

In other words, this is Mu Ming's real first work.

It is precisely based on these considerations that those complicated and cool narrative methods and unique camera angles have been abandoned by him. From the cause, to the development, to the climax, to the final end, Mu Ming chose the smoothest sequential narrative structure.

It may be a little bland, but at least it guarantees a good story.

However, because the story itself is simple in structure, it requires that the actors must be good enough. Especially the protagonist "Lu Yong", as the key to the whole story, his selection is the key to the success or failure of the whole film.

Because he is a "plane hero", Lu Yong's image is destined not to be a handsome and mighty image. Even in the first half of the story, his image needs to be mixed with some negative evaluations such as greed, laziness, external strength and middle work.

The protagonist of this image has high requirements for the performance of the actor, and once the performance is not good, it is easy to make the audience feel bored. But if the performance is good, then it can reveal a little cuteness from these negative image forces.

Of course, there's also the issue of age. Young people are definitely not good, at least in the Mesozoic era over thirty-five years old.

In the domestic Mesozoic Generation, there are actually not a few actors with excellent acting skills. Huang Bo, Qin Hao, Zhang Luyi, Duan Yihong...... However, considering the character image and the appeal to the audience, Mu Ming's first thought was Xu Zheng and Deng Chao.

Needless to say, Xu Zheng's acting skills are rare, and the works he has starred in in recent years, except for the black history of "Xi Travel", the quality is above the level. Coupled with the great popularity of comedies such as "Thai Embarrassment" and "Heart Flower Road", his appeal in the hearts of the audience is still very strong.

Mu Ming actually thought of Xu Zheng first, his own temperament and character image unexpectedly fit. However, he has been busy with the promotion of "Hong Kong" recently, and he has not had time to contact him, so Mu Ming contacted Deng Chao first.

In contrast, Deng Chao's acting skills are actually very good. is like "Scorching Sun", which was released not long ago, and was praised by the audience.

It's just that there are a lot of bad movies in the past two years, and the quality of the director's works is not very good, so his popularity has been damaged. This point is estimated to have a greater impact after the release of "Villain Angel".

Including "The Mermaid", which was released later, the box office actually has little to do with Deng Chao, and most people go for the name of Xingye.

So compared to Xu Zheng, Deng Chao's choice will undoubtedly be worse. However, since Xu Zheng didn't have much time in the near future, Mu Ming simply asked Deng Chao first. After all, people are not necessarily willing to take on such a work that I don't know when it will be officially approved.

Sure enough, after listening to Mu Ming's introduction, Deng Chao thought about it for a while, and then hesitantly said that he would give him a period of time to consider, obviously because he had concerns.

Mu Ming was not in a hurry, and told him that she had also considered Xu Zheng, so there was no need to worry.

After chatting about his purpose, this charity dinner was not interesting for Mu Ming. So he began to continue to deal with the food on the table seriously, and only waited for the final donation to leave.

As for the auction on the stage, I'm sorry, our Young Master Mu is not very interested in these luxury ornaments and the like.

The one who felt as bored as Mu Ming was Xiao Zhao, who was sitting next to him. I have to admit that the two people have a striking similarity in some aspects.

Probably the only thing that can arouse some interest is the star who is in charge of the auction of each exhibit. Like a phoenix pendant just now, the ones in charge of the auction are Shu Qi and Liang Jiahui. Another example is the jade carving on display on the stage now, and Yang Tianbao is in charge of the auction.

Because of a trip to Cannes, the relationship between the young lady and Yang Tianbao has improved by leaps and bounds. In addition, the fame and coffee positions of the two people are not too much, and now they are best friends.

Seeing his little friend on stage, Xiao Zhao's attention finally took his attention off the food for a while. looked at Yang Tianbao on the stage for a while, and suddenly turned his head and asked Mu Ming: "By the way, baby's wedding next month, will you go to attend?"
