Chapter 237: Inexplicable advice
After Li Mu left the conference room, he didn't think about those things anymore, and began to concentrate on checking the information.
Although the script has been written, it is still necessary to try to improve it before the filming starts, so as not to find out what went wrong in the middle of the filming.
"Knock knock!"
A knock outside the door interrupted Li Mu's thoughts.
"Come in!" Li Mu finished speaking, and continued to look down at the computer.
"What's wrong with you today?" it was Chu Fei who came, and the first thing he did when he came in was to ask his own questions.
"What's wrong?" Li Mu wondered.
Chu Fei sat on the chair opposite and said, "You didn't treat them like this before, I remember that you would explain to them very patiently if there were any problems when they were just filming, and they cared about them very much in life and work, and arranged everything for them, they didn't have to care about anything except filming and commercial performances, why did they leave a few scripts today!"
Li Mu's eyes took off the computer screen, leaned back in his chair, looked at Chu Fei and said, "You also think I used to be very good to them?"
Chu Fei nodded, "It's not just good, I don't think Hua Yi is as interested in Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing as you are!"
Li Mu said with a complicated expression, "People, after all, they have to grow up, and when they grow up, their minds will not be so simple, they all have their own ideas now, but I can't realize them one by one!"
Chu Fei was puzzled, "You can explain to them, they are all brought by you, and they will understand you if you talk to them, after all, people's energy is limited!"
Li Mu said, "I originally thought the same way, and planned to take them to talk to them when they exercised, but they grew up too fast and were anxious! Yu Dong told me before that I had more than a dozen companies and studios looking for them during this time, and none of them explicitly refused." Now I also figured it out, what's the matter, I'm not their father, why do I care so much, I am the boss in the company, they are employees, and if you are unhappy, you can take the liquidated damages and leave!"
Hearing Li Mu's somewhat angry words, Chu Fei opened his mouth to persuade, "Don't say that, a few of them have finally stepped into the front line now, you don't have their share in the three scripts you took out at once, and it's normal to have emotions, so let's do it, if they are willing to go to the "Zhao Zilong" crew with you to exercise for two months, give them a chance!"
"I hope so!" Li Mu sighed, from thrift to luxury!
"By the way, how are our custom-made weapons and armor doing now?"
Chu Fei said, "The eight hundred sets of equipment that were ordered before have all been completed, and I also took the samples to find a few history professors, and they all have no doubts, they are all in line with the style of that era, but if you recruit 5,000 group performers this time, the 5,000 sets of equipment are not a small number!"
Li Mu shook his head, "Money is not a problem, in fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, except for officers and some elite troops, ordinary soldiers wore leather armor, but I used all iron armor in order to achieve better results, don't save money in this regard, you can use it when filming in the future!"
Next, the matters to be prepared by the crew were discussed, and Chu Fei also went to get busy.
Li Mu wanted to continue to check the information, but he didn't expect that someone knocked on the door as soon as Chu Fei left!
"Come in!" Li Mu frowned!
"Mr. Li didn't bother you!"
"Chen He, is there anything wrong with you?"
Is it here to ask for a role?
"Mr. Li, I want to shoot "Zhao Zilong" with you, and it just so happens that there is nothing to do during this time, so it should be regarded as exercise!" Chen He said with a smile.
Li Mu didn't expect that the first person to come to him would be Chen He, although his acting career was not as smooth as Peng Yuyan and Sheng Yilun, and there have been five or six TV series since his debut, but in addition to "Love Apartment", it is basically not seen on TV, and if it weren't for the popularity of "Love Apartment" and the box office explosion of "Thai Embarrassment", maybe he would not be able to see the TV series he had filmed before on the Internet.
However, he has an uncle who is a big director, and it is really rare to be able to take the initiative to experience the life of a low-level actor now.
"Then you have to be prepared to suffer, but this experience will be good for you, with enough life experience will you have more experience, you see that Fa Ge and Xing Ye didn't start from the trick, and they didn't become popular until they were almost thirty years old, you actors, especially actors, have a long acting career, and it's not necessarily a good thing to succeed too early!" Since he was willing to follow, Li Mu agreed.
"That's okay, I'll go back and get ready, don't bother Mr. Li!" After speaking, Chen He took his leave.
After Chen He left, Li Mu did not continue to check the information, but sat on the chair and waited, waiting for the arrival of others!
Ten minutes later, Zhao Liying came, but he came to apologize!
It turned out that she wanted to participate in "Step by Step", so she could get paid and send it to her parents.
Li Mu also expressed his understanding of this, he knew that Zhao Liying's family was not in a good situation, and the salary for filming "Beautiful Li Huizhen" was low before, so he asked him to go to Xu Zheng after comforting him.
After Zhao Liying left, until the end of work in the afternoon, no one came to Li Mu except for a few directors who came to discuss the plot.
Li Mu sighed, cleaned up and got off work, but when he was leaving, he remembered something and called Xu Zheng.
"Is Director Xu off work?"
"Not yet, is there anything wrong with Mr. Li?" Xu Zheng on the other end of the phone was still studying the plot and actors in the office, and when he saw Li Mu's call, he quickly connected.
Li Mu smiled, "It's nothing, I just have something I want to tell you, about the selection of the fourth elder brother in "Step by Step"!"
Xu Zheng frowned after hearing this, didn't Mr. Li say that people don't interfere in casting, but Sheng Yilun, Peng Yuyan, and Chen He are not suitable for this role.
"Mr. Li, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Xu Zheng said with a smile, and made up his mind that if Li Mu really wanted to let one of the three of them play the fourth elder brother, he must persuade him, after all, this is his first TV series since the "Love Apartment" series.
Li Mu said, "Director Xu, you misunderstood, I just want to tell you, if Wu Qilong comes to audition, please refuse him!"
Wu Qilong? Li Mu said that Xu Zheng really played the role of the fourth elder brother, but Li Mu said that he was not easy to refuse, as long as he did not interfere with the candidates, there is not only one suitable actor, and he let go of the doubts in his heart at the moment, "Okay, if he really comes to audition, I will refuse, is there anything else Mr. Li has?"
"It's not just the fourth elder brother, no matter which role he auditions for, he refuses!" Li Mu thought about it, but he was still a little uneasy, and added.
Xu Zheng on the other end of the phone was stunned, he didn't understand why Li Mu hated Wu Qilong so much, and made up his mind at the moment, not only this drama, but also not to film him in the future.
Hmph, don't think about the old cow eating the tender grass!
After instructing Xu Zheng, Li Mu's mood was much better, and he got off work briskly humming a song!
