Between the steep cliffs, the clear blue waters, and the white sandy beach, there is a rusty old iron ship.

It gave people a strong visual impact, and it was indescribably shocking.

Yuan Hong stroked the broken iron boat and said: "Legend has it that in 1983, the smuggling ship Panagiotis was wrecked and stranded here while transporting cigarettes, and the place has since been named "Shipwreck Bay." ”

Qiao Mu squatted on the beach, clasped his knees with his hands, and quietly watched Kepu Yuan pretend to beep.

This is the shipwreck bay of Zakynthos in Greece, where the fine sand reflects the sun's rays and the clear water, making Qiao Mu feel rippling.

Not far away, there is a "Blue Hole" because of the perfect combination of rocks, seaweed and sunlight, which is also an extremely beautiful place, and Tang Yan and they are playing there.

However, just as not many Chinese people liked beer with fried chicken before, Shipwreck Bay has not yet become popular.

Qiao Mu took out his mobile phone, took a few photos of the sky, beach, and sea, and sent them to his two daughters-in-law.

Soon, Da Mi Mi sent a WeChat message, she said, "Where is this?"

Qiao Mu hadn't contacted her for a long time, and started a video chat with her with 4G traffic.

Seeing that face again, Qiao Mu felt a lot, and was about to blurt out the words, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Da Mi Mi, she said: "Where did you die? Let you go to filming, you just left, and you knew that you were pretending to be dead. ”

Qiao Mu's mood collapsed instantly, and he hurriedly put on his headphones. He looked at the many staff and actors nearby, then looked around, and picked a cliff under the shade.

He sat down, blew the sea breeze, and said pleasantly, "I've been busy lately!

"I know that I have confirmed the company's projects, statements, and finances. Na Que recently bought the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and then set up a project plan, ready to invest 300 million to 500 million to shoot a movie. ”

"That's right, the budget of the marketing department is roughly that. You know it all, it's amazing!"

Da Mi Mi glanced at him, is this the point? She came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, she said angrily: "Are you stupid? The company's current liquidity on the account is only about 500 million. One movie and all the smashing up?"

How so?

The ghost blows the lamp is a big IP, and I vaguely remember that there is a "Dragon Quest" that Maiba participated in the screenwriting and production of "Looking for the Dragon", but it made more than 1.6 billion, so there is no reason to lose money. He said: "Obedient, I have a poisonous vision, how can I lose my money? There are too many special effects shots in the back of this movie, and it costs a lot of money." ”

"Have you included the actor's salary?"

"Forget it! I quoted myself a salary of 30 million, and finally counted the distribution expenses of 200 million. ”

Da Mi Mi laughed and said, "Yes, you have learned a lot now." ”

They are all big hands of fraud, and if you turn a few more times, the total amount of money will be less. There is never tax evasion, but there is a way to reduce it.

It's like Hollywood studios, which often count hundreds of millions of dollars in distribution fees for blockbuster movies.

Just looking at the accounts, almost all of them are working on the streets, and some people will even naively feel that they have lost all their money.

Qiao Mu said with a smile: "I won't talk to you about this, someone will solve the company's affairs, and I don't have to worry about you." With your current IQ, it's better not to manage it. ”

"My IQ is a lot higher than your kid, right?"

"Did you smash the floor-to-ceiling windows in my living room?" Qiao Mu once again took out a stalk that had been pregnant and stupid for three years.

Da Mi Mi complained a little, she said: "Stupid, huh! So what are you going to say?"

Qiao Mu exhaled, looked at the blue sea and blue sky and said, "I don't know! ”

"And where are you now?"

"Shipwreck Bay, the picture I just sent you was taken temporarily. He turned his phone, turned to the rear camera, and took pictures of the scenery.

In the shot, there are scenery and characters, and Da Mi Mi asked: "You group of people, are you filming or vacationing?"

Qiao Mu turned back to the front camera and said with a smile: "Here, it's far away from the crew." It took us a long time to get over. When we finished filming, we didn't bother to rush back, so we just had some fun and left for late at night. ”

"Late at night?"

"Sure! The ingredients are all bought and we have a beach barbecue in the evening. ”

Da Mi Mi gave a close-up of his big belly, and said resentfully: "Then you will be comfortable, just eat and drink all day, and I will be miserable." ”

Qiao Mu said softly: "When is the due date, I will fly back." ”

Da Mi Mi touched his stomach and said, "At the end of the month, I will have a caesarean section." ”

Qiao Mu crossed his fingers to calculate the filming process, 70% of the shots of this TV series were shot abroad, and it is expected to take about 20 days, and it will be completed in the second half of the year. He said: "I will talk to the director to speed up the filming, and I will go back to accompany you early." ”

"Whatever you want, I don't care if you come or not. ”

"Tsundere?"

"I said something wrong, are you willing to take care of me when you come back?" Da Mi Mi looked at the guy in the camera and asked seriously.

Qiao Mu nodded, made a promise and said, "Sure!"

"Then hurry up, I miss you one by one. ”

……

"Firewood and carbon are not, don't come here, go and skewer the meat! Xiao Dan, you go over and skewer the chicken wings; Ye Qing, you go to the bus, get some drinks, and ......."

It was getting late, the sun was setting, and Qiao Mu hung up the video communication with Da Mi Mi.

The bonfire is about to start, and he directs the team of actors to work, which is the common saying blind Bibi, standing and talking without backache.

"What about you? You just stand, and then you just watch us work?" Ye Qing crossed his waist and looked at Qiao Mu very unpleasantly. Even if he is the boss, he can't instruct people like this, and she still has the killer feature of Shishi.

"No, I've got to be in control, the beach lifeguards, you know? That's tiring!"

In terms of shamelessness, this guy can be regarded as cultivating to the extreme.

Ye Qing sighed, turned around and left, and went to get a drink.

In this way, a group of people were ready.

"Wow, Whew......"

Light a bonfire and the atmosphere boils. The big guys, or singing, or dancing.

Although the staff of that group of crews did not debut, in terms of their singing and dancing level, they were no worse than Qiao Mu's group of artists, and even exceeded them.

Because they have a large group and no identity gap, they have a lot of fun and have a different night.

In comparison, Qiao Mu and their group of so-called stars are very low-key. Roasting chicken wings, gossiping around the campfire.

"Mr. Qiao, I watched the latest domestic entertainment trends this morning. It is said that our company is preparing to shoot a big movie recently. The investment amount is as high as 500 million, right?"

This is an eye-catching message sent by the operation department, and the general content is that Shiyang Film and Television will join hands with Tianxia Ba Sing to create a big movie in the world of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". The investment amount is as high as 500 million yuan.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xu Dan is a master of circumventing the wall, and he pays attention to domestic news all the time.

"Well, super big IP. It was based on the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Qiao Mu did not deny that his own artists were already too much without the first notice, and it was impossible to hide it.

Yuan Hong, who seems to be a fan of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", squatted on the beach and asked with interest: "Which one is adapted?

Qiao Mu looked at him, and then said, "Neither." It is roughly possible to write a brand new story based on the worldview, characters, and historical background of the ghost blowing the lantern. ”

Yuan Hong didn't understand very much, he said: "Just shoot the original book! Those eight books, this book is a classic, you can shoot any one." How troublesome it is to make up a new story. ”

Stars, actors, screenwriters, and directors are all mixed in the entertainment industry, but after all, they are like mountains.

Qiao Mu didn't understand at the time, why did he fabricate a new story, the screenwriters' explanation was that the plot, foreshadowing, cool points, and explosive points were arranged in great detail.

But when it is adapted into a movie of more than 90 minutes, then the trade-off is very troublesome. While respecting the original work, we must also take into account the reduced plot rhythm.

A whole new story, it's simple.

The crew of the ghost blowing the lantern was the first to establish a screenwriting team.

Last night, it was decided to shoot the ghost blowing the lamp.

At dawn on this day, Shi Ye immediately organized the world's Maiba and Su Yao screenwriter studios, and there was a wave of brainstorming of group chat videos.

Their brains are very big, but they are all a little crooked and a little biased.

To put it bluntly, I just didn't find the exact positioning.

So, Shi Ye went to find foreign aid. Please, the only foreign director of Tmall Pictures, Farhati.

That guy is a foreigner who once instructed Qiao Mu in the East China Sea. was first signed by Ma Yunkun to Ali Cinemas, and later transferred to Tmall Pictures, and now he is still grinding his script in the East China Sea.

His screenwriting standards are extremely high. In the first half of his life, those years were like a reborn, and he was always hanging. However, there is not much shadow of his own script, and he only gave one suggestion to the screenwriting team.

If you shoot a movie with the theme of tomb robbery, or a series, there are many movies for reference. Such as "Tomb Raider", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and so on, are all movies that can be borrowed and paid tribute to.

Eventually, they discussed the direction of their creation.

The huge worldview and system of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Constructing a complex story with simple characters instills a positive conceptual value. It's much easier to create in this way.

The most important thing is that it is easy to shoot a sequel.

It's very troublesome to explain one by one, so Qiao Mu said: "It's okay, let's shoot a new story first and see if everyone can accept this style." If it's acceptable, we'll adapt it. ”

Tang Yan asked in a low voice: "Is the actor decided?"

Qiao Mu shook his head and said, "Ha, the script hasn't come out yet, what's going on?"

Ye Qing laughed, she said: "Although there is no script, I already know who the actor is." ”

Tang Yan said: "Definitely! Lao Xue and Zhang Yixing are both singers, and they also occasionally act across borders, how can they play the leading role in a movie?"

"Yes, Shi Yang's works, except for "Langya Bang", it seems that the rest of the resources are digested internally, right?"

This singing and harmonizing made the fact that he was scheduled to star in Qiao Mu.

"What about the lead actress?"

Yuan Hong looked at Qiao Mu, and always felt that he didn't match Hu Bayi.

Fans of the original work will inevitably have some small disappointments. So, he put his hope on the heroine.

"Well, who is the actress decided?"

"yes, who is it?"

"Who are you going to invite?"

Who the female lead is is what Tang Yan, Ye Qing, and Zhu Xudan are most concerned about.
