Although it has been in theaters for two weeks and there are many new movies released, the popularity of "Thai Embarrassment" has not decreased at all. In two weeks, the box office has exceeded 800 million, and it is ferociously approaching 1 billion.

The discussion on the Internet is also very hot, in addition to the movie itself, the most mentioned is not the director Xu Zheng, but Mu Ming. A "33 Days of Broken Love", a "Thai Embarrassment", and two small-budget dark horse movies are all his handwritings. Many viewers have called Mu Ming "the most discerning filmmaker in the film and television industry".

However, whether it is the results of the movie or these discussions on the Internet, Mu Ming doesn't pay much attention to it. All his energy and attention now are all focused on "Wolf Boy".

"This is the director's production plan I wrote. Mu Ming put a heavy document on the table in front of Du Yang: "Take a look." Now that "Shanshan" and "Chinese Partner" have been completed, the promotion and distribution of "Thai Embarrassment" does not need us much, and we can just free up manpower to prepare for this movie. ”

"Honestly, Mu Ming. Du Yang looked at the heavy planning book, looked up at Mu Ming again, and said with a smile: "Until you put this planning book on the table, I thought you were joking when you said you were going to make a movie." ”

Mu Ming shrugged her shoulders, patted the document, and smiled: "Then now, it's true." ”

"Okay. Du Yang moved the plan in front of him, opened it, and asked, "How much does your plan cost to make?"

"Fifteen million. Mu Ming said.

Unlike the summary after the production is completed, the budget before the preparation only represents the approximate investment level of the film's production cost, and is not a hard and fast rule. After the preparation and accounting, it can be increased to 1,600 or 7, or only 1,200 or 3.

Fifteen million, which is a little more than "33 Days of Broken Love", can only be regarded as a small investment. A small investment means that there will be no popular actors, and there will be no big scenes.

"Well, one thousand five. Du Yang nodded. She had read the script of "Wolf Boy" before, and probably knew what the story was, but it really didn't cost much.

Many new directors, especially those who have sufficient funds and are still very young, such as Mu Ming, always want to tell a particularly huge story in their first work. Trying to show the grandeur of the world like "The Lord of the Rings", and at the same time with the sublime connotation of "The Shawshank Redemption".

"Eh, your budget for special effects production is four million?" Du Yang looked at the funding part of the plan and frowned: "Nearly one-third of the budget is spent on special effects?"

"Well, yes. Mu Ming flipped the plan book back across the table, and at the end there was a standing drawing of the characters he depicted.

"The special effects shot is used when the male protagonist transforms into a werewolf, and I am currently planning for about thirteen to fifteen seconds. With the average image quality and price of special effects production in recent years, it will take about 200,000 yuan per second to reach the level I want. Mu Ming explained.

"You're a painter, you're so cute. Du Yang looked at Mu Ming's sketch and couldn't help but complain.

"Tsk, it's just a schematic diagram, so you don't care about the style of painting. The corners of Mu Ming's mouth twitched a few times. was really said right by Xiao Zhao, and the negative effect of the half-month painting practice appeared. He can't even draw the original violent style, and the vertical painting and storyboard scripts are all Q versions.

"Special effects, which one are you going to contact?"

"Domestically, it's the digital field that Xiaoma just acquired. Mu Ming said: "I am more inclined to the digital field, and they have more experience in making renderings for detailed special effects such as animal hair. ”

"You're really a 'thief' who doesn't die. Du Yang joked: "Okay, what about the actors? Except for Li Ying and Zhang Ruoyun, do you have anyone to choose the rest?" is both the director and the investor, and the question of the actor is completely up to Mu Ming herself.

"In addition to the male and female protagonists, the role of the second male protagonist of a villain is more important. The rest of the heroine's mother, the neighbor's uncle, etc., I will give the specific role list to Sister Zhixi at that time. Oh, by the way, I'm looking for Sister Zhixi this time. ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have her watching. Du Yang said: "Do you have a candidate for the second male?"

"I do think of someone who might be the right fit. Mu Ming said with a strange expression: "However, what I found when I watched a stage play before is that he hasn't filmed yet." ”

"Haven't filmed?" Du Yang frowned when he heard this: "Can you be reliable?"

"Rest assured. "Wolf Boy" is a relatively small and fresh youth film, and the requirements for acting skills are not as great as those for image. Mu Ming recalled the memories of his previous life and said: "His image is quite suitable for the role of the second villain." ”

"Well, let him try out first, and then change people if the difference is too great. Mu Ming decided.

"You're the director, you're the biggest. Du Yang spread his hands: "By the way, what's his name?"

"Yin Zheng. ”

··················

In "Wolf Boy", there are only three roles that occupy the main role, the female protagonist gentle girl Shen Wanying (Kim Soon-yi), the male protagonist Wolf Clan boy Wolf Qing (Kim Cheol-so), and the villain Huang Shuwei (Huang Zhitai), the second rich male generation.

In the original version, the character of Huang Shuwei is the son of the second generation of chaebols. But now that the background has changed to China, coupled with the background of that era, there is naturally no such thing as the second generation of chaebols.

Therefore, in Mu Ming replaced his character with a high-ranking cadre. Because the whole childhood and youth just grew up in the previous turbulent period, so the appearance is gentle and elegant, but the heart is cruel and cold.

To sum it up, it's a pervert who is young and handsome and scum.

The first thing that comes to mind in Mu Ming's mind is Wu Yangu in "New Police Story", Azu's role is really memorable, and the second thing that comes to mind is Yin Zheng who played the role of Su San Province in "Sparrow".

Perverted, sickly, dark, and handsome, he really fits Mu Ming's ideal candidate - if his acting skills can also meet it.

Looking at Yin Zheng, who was sitting opposite, a little nervous, Mu Ming's ears couldn't help but sound "One~Jianhan~Mei~~Aolixue~Zhong......".

Your friend: Tidal Sea Spirit - Yuan Hua has been launched.

"Producer Mu?" Yin Zheng looked at Mu Ming, who had been staring at his mysterious smile, and felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Ahh Mu Ming came back to her senses: "Yin Zheng, right?"

Seeing Yin Zheng nodding, Mu Ming continued: "You should also know the reason for inviting you this time. I've got a movie. The role image of the second male in it, you are quite suitable. ”

"Second male?" Yin Zheng asked rhetorically with wide eyes.

"Questions?" Mu Ming asked with an eyebrow.

"No, no, no, no......" Yin Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I mean, I haven't filmed, let alone filmed, so I ......"

Yin Zheng did not hide the disadvantage of having no filming experience, after all, since Mu Ming could find him and invite him, he must have already understood him. Besides, even if you hide it, it's useless, and everything is clear as soon as the camera is turned on. It's better to be rejected now than to be replaced then.

"It's okay, I've seen your stage play, and it's not bad. Mu Ming comforted, and then became serious again: "However, some necessary tests must still be had." If you can't even meet the minimum performance requirements, then I'm sorry. ”
