Chapter 371: Riding the Wind and Waves
There were two people from Han Han's side, and the one who accompanied him was his agent Lu Jinbo.
said that it was an agent, but the relationship between the two was more like that of Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping at the beginning, and they were partners and friends for many years. Last year, when Han Han filmed "There Will Be No Future", the funds were insufficient, and Lu Jinbo advanced more than 30 million funds.
Of course, the main reason is that Lu Jinbo believes that Han Han can earn this money back. And the box office results of "After the End" also proved that he was right.
originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and let Han Han continue to make another one by taking advantage of the success of the first movie. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Han Han found him first, saying that Shuimu Film and Television had a script and wanted to invite him to direct.
Shuimu Film and Television naturally knows that a film and television company has sprung up in recent years. Relying on Mu Ming's movies and the cooperation between Wanda and Teng Xun, it has rapidly grown into a new first-line film and television company in China.
"Do you know Mu Ming?"
Looking at the script sent with the invitation in his hand, Lu Jinbo asked suspiciously.
"Yes. ”
"How did you meet?"
"I've seen his films. ”
“…… You're too old, let's get another one. ”
Knowing that the two did not know each other, Lu Jinbo became curious. Mu Ming knows not a few big directors, he is also an excellent director, why would he invite Han Han, a rookie director, to direct for no reason.
The explanation given by Mizuki is that Mu Ming has watched Han Han's "The Future" and thinks that the style of this script is more suitable for him, so he specially invited it.
Two people have read the script, it is a story of a son who goes back to the past and reaches a reconciliation with his father, and the story structure is somewhat borrowed from Chen Kexin's original "New Difficult Brothers". However, Mu Ming and Chen Kexin have a good relationship, and they have already said hello before.
"What do you think?" Lu Jinbo asked Han Han. In most cases, he only gave Han Han a staff officer and would not force his decision. This is also the reason why the two of them have maintained a good relationship for so many years.
"I like this script. Han Han was not hypocritical, and directly expressed his attitude. Mu Ming is right, the style of this script is really suitable for him, especially the theme of the story.
He is no longer the wind-chasing boy who dared to shout for the world, especially after giving birth to a daughter and becoming a father. Today's Han Han has begun to gradually merge with the world of his father's generation, which he had so strongly rejected before.
And the theme of this story happens to be exactly that.
Lang is affectionate, and concubines are intentional. Since Han Han has an idea, Lu Jinbo will no longer stop him. replied to Mizuki, and then there was today's Jingbei line.
It's just that I didn't expect that Mu Ming was filming.
"Director Mu, are you making a new movie?"
The four of them found a nearby coffee shop to sit down, and Han Han asked curiously first. He remembered that Mu Ming's last movie had just been released for two or three months, and he started filming so quickly.
Mu Ming smiled, nodded and admitted, "Yes." I don't have much else to do with it, making movies is both a job and a hobby. ”
"No wonder Director Mu is so young and has such outstanding results. Lu Jinbo said cooperatively on the side: "After a while, I'm afraid the movie released at the same time as Director Mu will have another headache." ”
"I'm afraid it won't be this time, this movie is not a commercial film. Mu Ming shook her head and said modestly.
"Oh?" Han Han and Lu Jinbo became curious at the same time. Everyone knows that Mu Ming is known as the "future master of commercial films", but I didn't expect that he would not take the route of commercial films now.
Lu Jinbo remembered the Golden Horse Awards some time ago, Mu Ming once said in an interview after missing the best director and best picture that the next movie must be made with a small box office in order to win the award.
With Mu Ming's strength, if he makes a commercial film, the box office will not be low, so he can only make a literary film. At the beginning, everyone thought that Mu Ming was just a mouthpiece, after all, a director who is used to making commercial films suddenly changed to literary films, and it is difficult to handle it well.
But now it seems that he really doesn't make commercial films anymore!
Mu Ming didn't know that Lu Jinbo had thought so much, so she patted the script on the table and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." The script of this "Riding the Wind and Waves", I don't know what you think of Han Shao?"
Xiao Zhao is now filming Su Lun's revised "One-man Show for Two", but her character does not have many scenes, it is a cameo role, and it will be filmed soon. Next, she always has to find something to do, and the young lady can't stay anymore, so she keeps looking for Mu Ming to film.
However, it is a bit troublesome to choose what drama, first of all, it must conform to the image of Xiao Zhao, and then the quality should not be too bad, and the popularity should be higher. And because of Mu Ming's careful eyes, there can't be any too intimate scenes.
After looking for a TV series, there are really few domestic ones that meet the requirements. There are a few good online dramas, but Xiao Zhao's current coffee position is a bit inappropriate to shoot online dramas.
So Mu Ming asked Mizuki to find out if there was a suitable script or work in the surrounding South Korea and neon, and at the same time took out the "Riding the Wind and Waves" that had been written long ago.
Judging from the movie itself alone, there are actually some problems with this movie, just like "There Will Be No Future". However, Han Han's language skills are really good, and he used various golden sentences to cover up these small problems.
In Mu Ming's previous life, best-selling authors turned directors, the most famous are Guo Xiaosi, Han Han, and Zhang Jiajia.
The comparison of results is also obvious, as soon as "The Ferryman" came out, Zhang Jiajia was at least 100 Guo Xiaosi worse than Han Han.
As for the current Mu Ming, I'm sorry, it's too bad, there's nothing to compare. Of course, if you have to have a ranking, it is probably Mu Ming> Han Han>> Zhang Jiajia> Guo Xiaosi ≈ 0.
Of course, this can also be seen that if Han Han's movie is really shot by himself, then he still has some directorial strength.
Hearing Mu Ming's words, Han Han nodded with a little excitement: "I like this story a lot, and I also have a lot of ideas for filming." I'm a little curious, though. Mu Ming, why don't you shoot it yourself?"
"I don't have time. Mu Ming said casually: "Now after the end of this movie, I still have a project to cooperate with Wanda." After that, there is the cooperation with Disney. The schedule is too full, and I can't spare my hand. ”
Wanda, Disney ...... Well, you're awesome, you're bull 13!
"Well, in fact, lack of time is just the main reason...... Mu Ming continued: "In addition, I feel that the style of this film is a little different from mine, but it is very similar to "After the End", so I specially invited you. ”
