After eating and resting for an hour, the audition for "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" will be held in the afternoon.

The TV drama crew was handed over to Lin Feng, which is also Li Mu's new appointment to him, and with his many years of filming experience, it must not be difficult to form a crew.

There was no problem with the audition for the movie, in fact, they were all small roles, but I met two acquaintances.

Ma Shaohua came to audition for Jiang Liuer's master Fa Ming, and this role is more suitable for him.

Although he has played many historical figures, especially Sun Zhong and Shan four times, his usual face reveals a sense of humor and kindness, and it is perfect to play Fa Ming.

If Ma Shaohua's arrival is not an accident, then another person really made Li Mu unexpected.

That is Li Mu's fellow countryman, also from the Deng Dynasty in Yuzhang, and they are studying in the same junior high school and high school, but at different levels.

Li Mu felt a little strange about Deng Chaolai auditioning for the role of the little demon, after all, he is also a popular first-line student now, how could he think of playing this small role that only has a few minutes of scenes.

But since he is willing to act, Li Mu did not refuse, he can't wait to have one more star and the salary is low!

Now there is only one role left in Jiang Liu'er, and it is still early, so Li Mu chatted with him for a while, and the two of them who spoke their hometown dialect felt very cordial.

"How is your company now, Wang Jinghua's matter is quite big!" Li Mu asked.

"Everything is normal, except that there is almost no difference except that there are a lot fewer people, Wang Dong's ability is still very strong!" Deng Chao sighed.

"If he didn't have the ability, he wouldn't have developed to such a point, he should have gained a lot of benefits this time, it is estimated that he would not let go without 100 million. Li Mu said with a smile.

"Mr. Li is really a smart person, no more, no less, exactly 100 million. Deng Chao couldn't help but admire Li Mu's vision a little.

"Wang Zhongjun has made a good business!"

This is not wrong, outsiders originally thought that not talking about this matter would make Hua Yi slump from now on, at least it would make him scramble.

But he didn't expect to take this opportunity to successfully complete the reorganization of the group's business, and the original bloated artist agency department only left a small half of the people after this streamlining, but these people are enough to meet Huayi's film and television production needs.

Moreover, fewer people are more conducive to concentrating resources, and there will be no situation where there are too many monks and too little porridge.

"Didn't Wang Jinghua invite you at that time?" Li Mu was a little curious.

"Invited, but I didn't agree, although I am the second in Huayi, but as long as I don't make any fatal mistakes here, it is basically impossible to fall off the line, if I go to Wanda, it is ugly to say that they are just empty shells, in addition to the actors brought from Huayi, what else, money?"

Deng Chao paused and continued, "There is no difference between one billion and one hundred or 100 billion in the entertainment industry, the box office ceiling of a drama is there, no matter how much money you have, can you still invest more than a billion to make a movie." Not to mention that they haven't established a complete marketing and public relations yet, and when something happens, they will have to spend money to silence the media. ”

That's right, Wanda seems to be a behemoth whose capital has infiltrated the film and television industry, and on the surface it looks like Wall Street controlled Hollywood in the twenties and thirties. In fact, the two are very different, and it took nearly a decade for Wall Street capitalists to take control of Hollywood's major studios through various forms of mergers and acquisitions, and these studios have only changed shareholders, and the middle and lower level employees are still the same. As for Vanda, he directly set up a company to try to make it bigger to achieve the goal of dominating the entertainment industry, and it is clear which of the two is better and which is inferior. Li Mu analyzed.

"Yes, it is not easy to develop to the top of any industry, I'm afraid Wanda will be disappointed!" Deng Chao also agreed with Li Mu's statement.

Li Mu shook his head: "That's not impossible, Wanda Pictures may not be able to become a big company like Huayi, Berner, and Guangxian in seven or eight years, but it is indeed impossible to dominate the entertainment industry." ”

Li Mu remembered that "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" directed by Feng Xiaogang in the later generations could not get the film schedule in Wanda, resulting in the box office being far less than expected, and it took less than seven years for Wanda to develop into the fourth largest giant in the entertainment industry.

And the Deng Dynasty in front of him also ushered in the peak of his acting career seven years later, the leading actor of 3.4 billion box office movies, and several movies starring him were all box office hits, and the investment-income ratio made the entire entertainment industry look sideways, and he himself made a lot of money.

"Brother Chao, have you ever thought about transformation?" Maybe it's the relationship between fellow countrymen and alumni, Li Mu wants to help him and let him take a little less detours.

Li Mu's sudden words made Deng Chao a little inexplicable, how can he turn now, is it difficult to sing.

Seeing Deng Chao's expression, Li Mu knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "I mean, Brother Chao, your appearance is more suitable for making comedy, and comedy is the largest category in the market, I think it will be better for you to develop in this direction." ”

"Are you saying I'm funny-looking?" Deng Chao said funny.

Li Mu looked at him steadily: "You're funny when you're funny!"

"Haha..."

Both burst out laughing.

"I think you're funny!" Deng Chao gasped.

"Okay, Brother Chao, let's get down to business, if you want to transform, I can help you a little, you can come to find it after you think about it later!" Li Mu said sincerely.

Seeing Li Mu so serious, Deng Chao was stunned, and said with a straight face: "Then I can remember, don't shirk when I ask you for help!"

"That's nature!"

......

After sending Deng Chao away, Li Mu began to audition for the last role today.

"Li Mu, do you want to help him because he is also Yuzhang?" Chu Fei said curiously.

"Of course not, where can I help me with so many fellow villagers in the capital, it's just that he is indeed very talented in comedy, and he is also a little bit of a fellow countryman!" Li Mu said.

"I don't think so, it's quite funny for me to watch Hua Yi's Huang Xiaoming play "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance"!" Chu Fei disagreed with his words this time.

Li Mu shook his head and said: "Comedy films are different from comedies, such as Zhou Xingchi, "The King of Comedy", "Shaolin Football", and "The Judge of the Dead" are all comedies, while the "Truant Weilong" series, "Gambling Saint", and "The Legend of Deer and Ding" are comedy films, any great comedy is actually a sad story, but the ending is happy. ”

Li Mu uttered something he didn't know where he heard it.

"Any great comedy is a sad story!" Chu Fei said repeatedly.

"Is it like Yin Tianqiu, an extra in "The King of Comedy" who has experienced the bitterness of the world but is still obsessed with acting? He is a tragic existence in the whole movie, and it is only at the end that it is complete. Chu Fei thought for a while and said

"That's right, whether at home or abroad, Truman's life in "Truman's World" is not a tragedy, he has been appearing on other people's TV sets since he was born, and he knows that he finally got out of this artificially created world. Li Mu said
