Chapter 65: Test Screening

The beginning of the film passes quickly, and the beginning is the plot of Do Minjun who has just come to Earth.

According to records, in 1009 A.D., in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty, UFOs appeared in the mountainous areas on the outskirts of the Daimyofu, and their volume was very large, as fast as an arrow accompanied by a thunderous sound, so that the heavens and the earth shook, and then disappeared together with the firelight, and the weather was clear and cloudless at this time.

At this time, Xu Yihua, a fifteen-year-old girl, accompanied by a servant, went to her husband's house. Unfortunately, Xu Yihua has not officially entered the door, and her husband has passed away suddenly, becoming a "widow" and cannot remarry. On the way, a sudden wind blew, and the sedan chair Xu Yihua was riding was lifted off the cliff, just when she thought she was going to die, time and space stood still, and a person suddenly appeared and grabbed the sedan chair. This person is none other than the alien who visited Earth with a UFO - Do Minjun.

The beginning is exactly the same as the original, and Li Mu has not made any changes. Turned their heads and looked at their reactions, most people were slightly stunned when they saw the scenes in ancient costumes, didn't they say a good modern drama!

Li Mu didn't care, the TV continued to play, after Do Minjun saved the girl Xu Yihua, he stayed in the Daimyo's Mansion, the picture kept changing over time, and soon it was a modern shot, Du Minjun was eating dinner alone in a modern apartment, with a narration to let them know that he couldn't let his saliva or blood mix with ordinary people.

On the way to work, he happened to meet a car thief, but he paused a little and chose to continue walking, he decided not to get involved in the life of ordinary people, whether he wanted it or not, what should happen or will happen. Then Do Minjun said that the comet, which had been waiting for a thousand years, was finally approaching the blue star, and he was leaving in three months.

The heroine of the picture, Qian Songyin, was filming on the set at this time, surrounded by fans who were enthusiastically calling her, at this time she was drinking the black tea that her brother had worked hard to run hundreds of meters to buy in a nearby teahouse, and posted a few photos on Weibo with a few words.

"After a hard day of filming, making a cup of black tea, holding a good book, and sometimes looking at the clear sky, don't you yearn for such a comfortable and quiet life? When you are tired, make yourself a cup of black tea and say to yourself: You have worked hard, comfort yourself. ”

"Well, it is worthy of being a small species in Zhengshan, and the tea on Zhengshan is better than that in other places, so I recommend it to everyone!"

This Weibo without common sense spread all over the Internet at once, and people in restaurants, buses, subways, schools, and companies couldn't help but laugh when they saw this Weibo, which suddenly attracted a lot of abuse.

......

Two hours passed, and the two episodes of the TV series were finished, Su Jingwen sat in his seat and didn't make a sound, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the others didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a while.

Li Mu didn't say anything, just sat there and waited.

After a few minutes, Su Jingwen slowly stood up and applauded excitedly.

Seeing Su Jingwen's appearance, Li Mu knew that he was very satisfied with this TV series.

"Mr. Li, this TV series is so good-looking, even I can't help but want to watch the plot later!" Su Jingwen said excitedly.

"Director Su, it's good that you're satisfied, in that case, shouldn't we discuss the broadcast next, after all, Huayi also has a TV series with the same theme that is about to be broadcast, and our publicity ability is definitely not comparable to theirs, so we'd better broadcast it before them!" Li Mu proposed.

"Mr. Li, what you said makes sense, but I have a question I want to ask Mr. Li!" Su Jingwen also agreed.

Li Mu was a little puzzled, what else could he have a problem.

"If you have any problems with Director Su, just say it, I know everything!"

"I found out that the two episodes of TV just now are exactly an hour, Mr. Li, why don't you cut it into three episodes, you must know that current TV series are generally forty minutes per episode." Su Jingwen asked his own question. After all, one more episode is two million more, and a twenty-episode TV series cut into thirty episodes is a gap of 20 million, he doesn't believe that Li Mu didn't take this into account.

"Director Su, I also thought about what you said, and I also tried to cut it into a forty-minute episode when editing, but in that case, the connection between each episode is not good enough, and if it is cut into sixty minutes, the story of each episode is very complete." Li Mu explained.

In fact, Li Mu was dumbfounded after the sample came out, he hadn't noticed that this TV series was an hour and an episode, so he didn't change the other plots except for changing the names and backgrounds of the characters to suit the country, and when editing, he also cut it according to the original, and replaced it with thirty episodes, which is one million and three hundred thousand per episode, and he lost 20 million at once for this small mistake, plus the follow-up copyright, Li Mu really lost blood. But of course, he couldn't say this to others, he just complained to Chu Fei in private.

"It's still Mr. Li's thoughtfulness, but you saved 20 million for our TV station at once, but Mr. Li, don't worry, we won't let you lose this money in vain, if you have any difficulties filming in southern Fujian in the future, just come to me, I will help if you can!"

Su Jingwen silently calculated in his heart, if it is replaced by an episode of forty minutes, it will be ten more episodes, that is to say, he only spent 1.3 million episodes to buy this TV series, this is really a good deal, even with the eyes of Li Mu is not the same, after all, TV dramas in this era are not like before about 20 episodes, and now in order to make money, the producer is eager to expand the story that can be told in 20 episodes to 40 or even 50 episodes, and it is the first one like Li Mu to shorten the episodes. This made him feel that Li Mu was unusual.

After listening to Su Jingwen's words, Li Mu's heart moved, many scenes of his movie had to be filmed in the mountains, and he had planned to shoot it in Hengdian before, but since Su Jingwen promised it, it would be better to shoot it in southern Fujian, there are many famous rivers and mountains in southern Fujian, and the effect of filming is definitely not comparable to Hengdian, so he opened his mouth immediately.

"Since Director Su has said so, then I really have something I want to ask you for a favor!"

Su Jingwen paused for a moment, although he was telling the truth, he didn't expect Li Mu to really ask him for help, but he didn't refuse.

"Oh, Mr. Li, if you have anything you want me to help with, just say it!"

"That's right, I'm going to make a movie later, there are a lot of scenes to shoot in the mountains, and there are many mountains in southern Fujian, so I want to ask Director Su for a favor to see if he can help me find a few places to shoot." At that moment, Li Mu was not polite, and directly said his request.

"That's no problem, now we are developing tourism in southern Fujian, and the tourism bureau is still hoping that someone can promote it for them, but if you go to them now, it may not be too smooth, and it is inevitable to eat and take cards, after all, this has become a habit, even if I come forward, at most it is to let you have a little less." It's best to wait for the TV series to be broadcast before looking for them, and at that time, their attitude will be different when the TV series ratings are so hot. Su Jingwen suggested.

"Just listen to Director Su, in that case, let's talk about the broadcast next!" Li Mu is no stranger to the unspoken rules of officialdom, he has seen a lot of things like this on Jiangnan TV before, and after thinking about it, he agreed, anyway, he is not in a hurry, and he can shoot other scenes first when the time comes.
