Chapter 19: Preparing for Shooting
Sister Fang, don't worry, listen to what Li always says. Chen He said firmly.
Hearing Chen He's words, Li Mu knew that there was hope for this conversation, so he said: "I know you have concerns, after all, I am indeed a "three-no" crew, and the salary I give you is not high, but I am here to tell you a piece of news this time, and I believe that you will definitely think about it again after hearing this news." ”
Hearing Li Mu's confident words, Fang Fen still looked disapproving.
"Then tell me what kind of news can make us change our minds!" What she didn't notice was the growing dissatisfaction in Chen He's eyes.
Looking at the dissatisfaction in Chen He's eyes, Li Mu was very happy in his heart, and he continued: "That's the case, I have already met Director Xu of Beijing TV Station before I came, and he also promised me that I will definitely buy the first round of broadcast rights when the time comes, presumably this news can make you think about it again." ”
Chen He's eyes lit up when he heard the news, but before he could speak, Fang Fen spoke again.
"You said that Beijing TV would buy your film, we will believe it, besides, even if your TV series is favored by Beijing TV, there will be no good time for you!"
"Shut up for me!" Chen He, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, broke out.
"Mr. Li, then I have another question, I probably read the script, the seven leading actors in this drama seem to be about the same, who is the real protagonist?"
Fang Fen on the side was frightened by Chen He's roar, she didn't expect that Chen He, who had always been hippie and smiling, would embarrass her in front of others, and she didn't react for a while.
"Chen He, what do you mean, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you have a good uncle, I found you in the previous plays. Fang Fen, who reacted, shouted.
"Sister Fang, I don't need to trouble you again in the future, I will apply to the company for a change of agent!" Chen He said calmly.
"Okay, Chen He, your wings are hard, right, I'm going to see what you will do without me!" Seeing that Chen He was serious, Fang Fen was no longer bored with himself, and after chatting with the next cruel sentence, he grabbed his bag and left angrily.
Li Mu, who was on the side, watched this farce for a long time, and only when he saw Fang Fen leaving did he open his mouth to persuade.
"Chen He, you are angry, your agent is also thinking about you, her intentions are good. ”
"Mr. Li, let's get down to business. Chen Hemeng obviously didn't want to talk about his economic affairs.
Seeing that Chen He didn't want to say more, Li Mu didn't ask any more, and said at the moment: "As for the role, you don't have to worry about it at all, although the roles of the seven leading actors are almost the same, but the role you play is the most brilliant." Li Mu didn't lie to him about this, the few actors in this drama in his memory belong to Chen Hechao the best, although there is also Chen Kaige in this.
After listening to Li Mu's words, he was also relieved, and immediately the two discussed the details of the contract, and after more than half an hour of negotiation, the price of 121 episodes was finally set, which was much higher than the salary of the other six leading actors for 8,001 episodes.
After the matter was settled, the mood of the two was obviously much better.
"Mr. Li, I have fallen out with my agent now, although the company will not be good for the time being in my uncle's face, but if this drama fails, then I will be sad in the future. So I can only count on you!" Chen He said sincerely.
Chen He is not wrong in what he said, but if this drama becomes popular, then the company must be on his side, and Li Mu also understands this truth.
"Don't worry, I also gambled all my belongings for this drama, and I can't afford to lose!" Then the two made an appointment to start the film and separated.
Li Mu, who returned to the hotel, called Xu Zhiyuan and informed him that the matter had been completed, and that he would return to Jiangnan tonight, and asked Xu Lin to join him.
……
The two of them took a plane for a few hours and arrived in Yuzhang at night, because the cousin had already rented another house, and Li Mu temporarily let him settle in his own house. After sitting on the plane for so long, both of them were tired and went straight to sleep.
Early the next morning, Li Mu came to the studio with Xu Lin, who looked unhappy. He was full of anger when he was called by Li Mu early in the morning, and he chattered non-stop along the way.
"Everyone is here, it's early!" Li Mu felt very relieved to see that several employees had come to work early.
"Boss morning!"
"Boss, are you back?"
"Mr. Li is early!"
Several of them also greeted Li Mu when they saw it.
"Don't call the boss in the future, I'm still young, I don't want to get old so quickly. Let me introduce you to you, this is Xu Lin, and we will be working together in the future!" Li Mu half-jokingly introduced Xu Lin to them by the way.
"Mr. Li, the house and props have been completed in the past two days, and the crew and actors are ready, just wait for you and Chen He to start the film. Chu Fei reported.
"Chen He won't arrive until tomorrow, let's go to the crew first, you lead the way." Li Mu said.
"Okay Mr. Li!"
A few people got into Li Mu's car and rushed to the crew, not far from the studio, a twenty-minute drive away.
Looking at the mid-range community in front of me, it is not the same as in my memory, but it doesn't have much to do with it.
"We rented a total of 10 houses here, and the landlord knew that we were using it for filming a TV series, and agreed to let us rent it for two months, and the rent was also discounted, which cost a total of 30,000 yuan, plus another 40,000 yuan for the layout according to what you said. In addition to the scenes to be used for filming, other temporary storage equipment and props are used. As for the bar, a newly renovated bar nearby promised to postpone the opening and lend it to us for free filming, but asked to mention his bar on TV. Chu Fei introduced.
"Promise him!" Li Mu said without hesitation, now every penny of his money has to be used on the blade, and the equipment of the crew is still borrowed from Li Suifeng. I don't care about that.
When he came to the filming site, he saw the familiar room Li Mu really came to the love apartment, the layout of the whole room was almost the same as what he requested, and it seemed that their work efficiency was not bad.
"Mr. Li, you are here, we can work together again, but this time I am your employee. The one who spoke was Xu Zheng, the director who had worked with him before in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and many people in the entire crew had worked together before, including Zhou Hui and his cousin Li Hang. The two have matured a lot after a few months of training, at least they are already a qualified assistant director and scene reporter, I didn't expect Li Suifeng to be so thoughtful.
Looking at these people in front of him, Li Mu couldn't help but be a little excited.
"Hello everyone, I am Li Mu, I am the producer of this TV series, everyone here is borrowed by me for you Mr. Li, some of them have worked with me, and some of them may not know me, so today we will be considered a formal acquaintance, and I only have one requirement for you, that is, to shoot this TV series well. Maybe you also know that I put all my belongings into this, if someone drags the crew back, don't blame me for being rude. Of course, if we can shoot the TV series smoothly, I won't skimp on your share of the bonus. Li Mu continued.
"Then we're going to officially start filming tomorrow, I'll invite everyone to dinner at noon today, and go back to rest after eating. ”
A group of people listened to Li Mu's "speech" and didn't think so, until they heard that there was a big meal to eat.
"Thank you, Mr. Li!"
"Mr. Li, you are so good!"
"Long live Mr. Li!"
"Mr. Li, do you have a girlfriend?"
Something strange seems to have been mixed in.
At noon, Li Mu sat at a table with several leading actors, several of them were newcomers who had been playing tricks, and they were still a little restrained in front of Li Mu, except for the occasional toast, the atmosphere was not high.
"You've all read the script, haven't you?" asked Li Mu.
"I've seen it. Several people replied.
"Do you have any ideas, say it and listen to it!" Li Mu said with a smile.
How can there be no ideas, the script Li Mu gave them is too specific, and almost every word of action and demeanor is clearly written, whether it is the tone, action, or demeanor, they all need to follow it. However, no one spoke for a while, and Lou Yixiao, who was still relatively active after a few minutes of coldness, couldn't help but speak.
"Mr. Li, I just think your script will be too detailed!"
"I know you're going to have questions, but you don't have to think too much, all the plots of this show are in my head, you just need to follow the script. Li Mu's words dispelled their doubts.
Then I talked to them about the characteristics of each character and asked them to go back and figure it out.
After eating, I sent a message to Chen He, asking him to rush to the set tomorrow morning and send him the address. Then he took Xu Lin to help him rent a house, after all, the two were not very familiar with each other, and they were not used to living together all the time, but what Li Mu didn't expect Xu Lin actually fell in love with Chu Fei. also asked Li Mu about her situation, thinking about it, the attraction of a royal sister beauty like Chu Fei is simply fatal for a boy of their age, if Li Mu hadn't spent all his attention on the show and He Yimin's affairs later, maybe he would have been tempted, but Li Mu was obviously not optimistic about him.
As he spoke, Li Mu thought of Wang Yue, and he missed her a little bit after leaving Jiangnan for two days, so he picked up his mobile phone and sent him a message.
"Where's it, I'm back!"
"Working overtime in the company, there is a plan to rush out overnight..."Wang Yue quickly replied, at this time Wang Yue was working overtime in the company alone, and his already exhausted body seemed to be full of strength when he saw the message sent by Li Mu.
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon. Li Mu went to a nearby restaurant to pack a few dishes, and drove to Wang Yue's company.
Standing downstairs in Wang Yue's company, Li Mu straightened his clothes and went up.
