Chapter 13 A Call from the Capital
"It's okay, you have to continue to contact more, Auntie, do you have anything to do here. Li Mu didn't want to talk about his blind date, so he diverted the topic.
"That's right, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to arrange a job for your cousin, and today he wants to thank you. The eldest aunt said and stabbed her cousin with her hand.
Seeing his mother's movements, his cousin Li Hang spoke embarrassedly.
"Xiaomu, thank you for finding me a job, don't worry, I will work hard and won't embarrass you. ”
As soon as he heard his cousin's words, Li Mu knew that this was taught by his aunt, and his cousin, who had always been honest, would not say this, he would only express his feelings with practical actions.
"Cousin, we all grew up together, don't be polite to me, I'm not at ease when you do things!" Li Mu said.
At this time, the aunt asked a little embarrassed: "Xiaomu, can the aunt ask what kind of job you plan to find for your cousin." After saying that, my aunt herself felt embarrassed.
"Aunt is like this, my program team will not start to be formed until I go to Yuzhang, I plan to let my cousin come to the program team first to make a scene note and learn something first. Li Mu said his thoughts, this is also after careful consideration, after all, it is not easy to ensure his rights in a brand-new program group, when Zhou Hui and his cousin are an assistant director and a scene note, the host does not use the person of Tomato Video to find one outside, and there should be no problem.
"Xiaomu, you see that my aunt doesn't understand what you do, can you tell us what the main purpose of the lecture is for. ”
Li Mu explained with a smile: "In fact, the scene record is to record the details of the shooting and related information, so as to coordinate the staff before and after, and have more contact with things, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I can let my cousin be an assistant director." ”
Hearing that her son could be an assistant director, the aunt couldn't stop laughing, but she was a little worried when she remembered that her son hadn't read anything and didn't understand anything.
"Xiaomu, it won't cause you trouble, he won't do anything and it won't be good for you to be affected by the time. ”
"Yes, Xiaomu, you don't have to be too embarrassed, just find something to do for me. The cousin also spoke at this time.
"Aunt and cousin, don't worry, variety shows are different from TV and movies, the assistant director doesn't need a lot of professional knowledge, as long as you study seriously, cousin, there is no problem. ”
Hearing Li Mu say this, the eldest aunt was relieved, and then told her cousin to come to her house on Saturday morning and go to Yuzhang with her when the time comes, and the two families chatted about family life until more than nine o'clock before going back.
sent away the eldest aunt and cousin Li Mu back to the room to start planning the direction in the future, if "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" is a big success this time, Li Mu will definitely start producing TV series, and the release of the TV series is also a problem, after all, Li Mu has always been doing variety shows, and there are no credible works in TV dramas, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to go to the stars, and now it can only be broadcast on the Internet.
You have to think about what TV series to shoot again, after all, it is best to be able to make a name for yourself in the future development of the future. So it must be a phenomenal work, "Bright Sword", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Soldier Assault", "Latent", "Dance Forest Gaiden", "Struggle" and so on are all popular TV series, but Li Mu's investment is limited, and many TV series don't need to be considered.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Mu finally decided to "Love Apartment", which is a sitcom, very suitable for today's fast-paced urban men and women, the key is that the investment is small, almost all the plot is carried out in several apartments, and occasionally there are some bars and TV dramas. There are only seven main actors in the play, and the other supporting roles are almost none except for Zeng Xiaoxian's female boss Lisa, so it would be good to find a few extras when the time comes.
Since it has been decided that Li Mu will start to write out the specific plot, but Li Mu is not a professional screenwriter after all, he doesn't even know the format of the script, so he can only write it in the form of a story, and let the professional screenwriter change it to a script when the time comes.
stayed up until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Mu only wrote three episodes, anyway, he had to stay at home for a few days, Li Mu was not in a hurry, so he went to sleep first.
The huge sleepiness made Li Mu fall asleep as soon as he lay down, and he also had a sweet dream.
He dreamed that he had produced countless movies and television, broken countless ratings records and box office records, and successfully sniped the impact of Hollywood blockbusters on the domestic market several times, and made those world-famous directors Cameron, Loraine, and Spielbold return home in China again and again. The media called him a pillar of Chinese cinema and a pioneer of low resistance to foreign cultural invasions, and his peers imitated and borrowed his work time and time again. But all the TV series he produced were snapped up by major TV stations, and all the hairstylists of the movies he produced were eager to offer sky-high prices, and movie theaters gave the highest shots, and everyone called him a "god-level producer".
"Jingle bells... Jingle bell..."A rapid mobile phone ringtone woke Li Mu up from a sweet dream.
Who's going to die if I call early in the morning and come late! By the time I'm done dreaming, I'm going to be the king of the world.
picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and Li Mu's tone was even more unkind.
"Who, don't know that disturbing people's dreams is tantamount to a crime!"
On the other end of the phone, he heard Li Mu's tone not good, and he didn't respond for a while.
"Hey, who is it then, I'll hang up if I don't talk anymore!"
"Hey, hello, is that Mr. Li Muli? I'm Xu Zhiyuan, deputy director of Jingcheng Television. A man's voice came from the other side.
Li Mu didn't know what a deputy director of the Beijing TV station could do if he was looking for him, but he still responded.
"Hello Director Xu, I'm Li Mu, you can just call me Xiao Li, what is the matter with me?" Li Mu asked politely.
"Xiao Li, I heard that you resigned from Jiangnan TV, it just so happens that our Beijing TV needs talents like you, this time I want to invite you to come to Beijing TV to be a producer, I will give you the greatest rights, I know everything about Jiangnan TV again, I promise you that the same thing will never happen to Beijing TV. Xu Zhiyuan said what he meant.
After listening to Xu's words, Li Mu was a little moved, but he had already promised Li Suifeng, he had helped him twice in his most difficult period, and it was impossible to make himself regret it. Besides, what Xu Zhiyuan said now sounds good, and as long as there are enough interests, he will still kick himself away.
"I'm sorry Director Xu, your proposal is very exciting, but you're already late, I have already promised to go to Tomato TV before, I'm afraid I will live up to your kindness!" Li Mu could only refuse.
Xu on the other end of the phone didn't expect that he was a step late, but since someone started in advance, it means that Li Mu does have that ability, otherwise no one will invite him.
However, Xu Zhiyuan still did not give up.
"Xiao Li, you have to think about it, Tomato Video is just a video website, and it can't be compared to our Beijing TV!"
"Thank you for your kindness, but since I have already promised someone, I can't go back. Li Mu still insisted.
Hearing that Li Mu insisted on Xu so much, he no longer persuaded him, so he started to cooperate.
"Then is your program set, and which TV station are you going to cooperate with?" Xu Zhiyuan said.
"As for the program, I have already decided on it, but Tomato Video doesn't seem to be ready to broadcast it on the TV station, they want to do online exclusive broadcasting. Li Mu said.
Hearing Li Mu say this, Xu Zhiyuan was relieved, he was afraid that Li Mu had already cooperated with other TV stations.
"Xiao Li, you have to know that a show that is only broadcast on the Internet will not have much influence. What I mean is that you sell the TV broadcast rights to our Beijing TV station, and the price is negotiable!" Xu Zhiyuan said.
After listening to Xu Zhiyuan's words, Li Mu felt that it made sense, although more and more people now choose to watch TV programs on the Internet, but to really evaluate the success of a program, it still depends on the ratings, no matter how many online broadcasts and viewers there are, no ratings are more convincing.
But this matter is not up to me, after all, I am just working for others.
"Director Xu, what you said is also reasonable, but you should talk to Tomato Video about cooperation, it's not something I can decide. Li Mu said.
"Since Xiao Li, you are also in favor of cooperation, it would be great, I will talk about it over there on Tomato Video, but if they ask you what you mean by then, you have to make a statement." Xu Zhiyuan was relieved when he heard that Li Mu also had the intention of cooperating with the TV station.
"Don't worry, if they come to ask my opinion afterwards, I will definitely agree," Li Mu promised.
With Li Mu's words, Xu Zhiyuan was relieved, and then chatted again and hung up.
was disturbed by Xu Zhiyuan, Li Mu lost his sleepiness, and got up to have breakfast with his parents. During this period, my mother still didn't forget that she went on a blind date yesterday.
"Xiaomu, I forgot to ask you how your blind date was when your aunt came yesterday?"
I thought my mother had forgotten about it, but who knew that it was brought up again. Li Mu said honestly: "It's okay, that girl is very beautiful, let's get along first and then develop slowly, Mom, don't worry about it, I'll grasp it myself." ”
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to work after eating, you can eat slowly!" Li Mu didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he hurriedly finished breakfast and went back to his room to continue writing his "script".
During this period, Li Mu also called Wang Yue to confirm the matter of watching the movie in the afternoon, although he only said a few words, but Li Mu listened to her moving voice, and the whole person seemed to be more energetic.
Wang Yue on the other end of the phone was shopping with a friend, and her best friend laughed and said, "Is it from the handsome guy who dated yesterday?" It seems that our Yueyue's spring has arrived. ”
"What kind of date, don't talk nonsense, we only met for the first time yesterday, and he just asked me to go to the movies in the afternoon!" Wang Yue said angrily.
"The first time we met, I promised people to go to the movies, it seems that Yueyue you are really excited, tell me which handsome guy is how!"
"He's twenty-four years old, and he used to be a TV producer, so he's okay to look good, and it's okay to look quite mature. Wang Yue didn't notice it herself, and when she talked about Li Mu, her face was a little red.
"Wow, isn't that young and talented, Yueyue, you have to grasp it, young potential stocks in this era are in demand, you have to take the initiative." The best friend could see that Wang Yue was really tempted.
"You damn girl, I want to take the initiative to go, I won't. Wang Yue was a little angry when her best friend said that she was in her heart.
The two beauties were playing on the street, which attracted the sideways of passers-by, but Li Mu really couldn't see it.
