"Yesterday I received a call from your beautiful assistant at home saying that you were drunk, so I rushed over, and it was the waiter who helped you in. How is it, do you feel better!" Wang Yue came in and put breakfast on the table.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Thinking that she had been with her all night yesterday, Li Muqi got up and hugged her gently.

"Alright, let's have breakfast. Wang Yue gently patted him on the shoulder and said softly.

Li Mu let go of him and picked up the breakfast on the table and ate it, although it was just an ordinary bowl of millet porridge, Li Mu felt that it was much more delicious than yesterday's big fish and meat, and there was a strong taste of happiness when he ate it, "If you have a wife like this, what do you ask for a husband and wife" Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After eating breakfast quickly, I went to take a shower, and I suddenly felt more refreshed. Thinking that "Love Apartment" still had to be edited for post-production, Li Mu said to Wang Yue apologetically: "My dear, I'm sorry I can't accompany you, the TV series is still in the post-production stage, I have to focus on completing it as soon as possible, and strive to get it done before the Chinese New Year." ”

Wang Yue didn't want the two to be together often, but he also understood Li Mu's difficulties.

"It's okay, go get busy, remember to pay attention to your body, don't forget to eat, I'm going to work too," Wang Yue said generously.

Li Mu gently kissed her forehead and left, returned to work, and called Xu Zheng to ask him to prepare the tape of "Love Apartment" and start editing later.

Driving to Tomato Video, Li Mu went straight to Li Suifeng's office and knocked on the door and entered.

"Muzi, you're here, it's not easy for you, you have filmed the TV series in two months!" Li Suifeng stood up and said with a smile.

"This is thanks to your help, Brother Li, I didn't expect to be so troublesome to shoot a TV series before, if you hadn't lent me the crew and equipment, my little money would not be enough to shoot!" Li Mu said sincerely. Indeed, Li Mu never thought that it would take so much time, energy and money to make a TV series. He originally thought that such a TV series with seven actors was more than three million, after all, the total salary of those seven people was less than one million, so he dared to buy a car first.

However, he was slapped in the face by reality, not to mention those costumes and props, just the box lunches of the dozens of people in the crew are a huge burden, and in order to take care of their feelings, they have to improve the food from time to time, and yesterday's finale banquet has emptied Li Mu's pocket.

"I still want to trouble you Brother Li this time, I want to borrow your place to do the post-production of the film. Li Mu said a little embarrassed.

"I know what you're going to do, I've already found you the editor, I'll take you there!" Li Suifeng said and took Li Mu to the editing room.

Li Mu didn't say anything when he saw this, but secretly remembered his help to him in his heart, and followed Li Suifeng.

When he came to the editing room, Xu Zheng was already waiting with the tape, and there was another man in his thirties who was estimated to be the editor.

"Come to Muzi, I'll introduce you, this is Zhou Ming, the best editor in our company, I believe it won't disappoint you!"

"Zhou Ming, this is the Li Mu I told you, his TV series depends on you, you don't have to do anything else during this time, concentrate on making this drama a good one. Li Suifeng introduced them to each other.

"Hello Brother Ming, then please!" Li Mu hurriedly greeted.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, I will do my best to do a good job. Zhou Ming said.

"Then you guys are busy, I still have something to do!" Li left first if he had something to do.

"Brother Ming, let's start!" Li Mu said.

Zhou Ming is worthy of being a professional editor, picking up the film and cutting it, many places are almost the same as the original, Li Mu only occasionally expresses his opinion.

With Zhou Ming, a professional, and Li Mu, who has the memory of the original, everything went exceptionally smoothly. Today, three episodes were cut in one day, and at this pace, the film will be ready to come out in another week.

In the next week or so, Li Mu soaked in the tomato video, and he didn't go home a few times, and Wang Yue only made an occasional phone call. Finally, on January 12th, all the post-production was completed, and Li Mu could also put his heart back in his stomach, and the next thing was to arrange the broadcast.

After that, Li Mu piloted two episodes inside Tomato Video, and the response was very good, and finally sold the online copyright of "Love Apartment" at the price of 10,000 episodes. In this era, the Internet penetration rate is far less high than in the future, and the price of the online copyright of TV dramas is still very low, plus he asked for a relatively low price in order to thank Li Suifeng, and it is also an exclusive copyright.

After Yuzhang accompanied Wang Yue to rest for a day, Li Mu took Chu Fei and Xu Lin on the flight to the capital. After more than two months of training, Xu Lin has obviously matured a lot, but his arrogant temper has not changed at all, and he also likes Chu Fei for two months but still doesn't dare to confess. Li Mu can't say anything about this, after all, it's someone else's private matter.

After getting off the plane, the three of them took a taxi and came to the Beijing TV station, where Xu Lin, the son of the station director, was there, and someone immediately led the three to the director's office. It turned out that Deputy Director Xu had turned regular last month, speaking of which, it was thanks to the previous Li Mu's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and now this variety show has become the trump card program of Beijing TV, and the advertising fee has risen again and again, and the ratings of other TV programs have also risen significantly, which makes Deputy Director Xu stand out among several competitors.

Seeing Li Mu and the three of them coming, Xu Zhiyuan looked very happy.

"Xiao Li, you're here, is the TV series finished, Xu Lin didn't cause you any trouble!"

"Director Xu, you're polite, Brother Lin has helped me a lot during this time, I came to talk to you about the TV series this time, and now that the later stage has been completed, I also brought the finished film, I want you to take a look!" Li Mu said. "Li Mu came this time to sign the contract, get the money early, and start preparing for the next TV series, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

"It's done so quickly! It seems that you are very efficient, so let's make a small test film and see it." After speaking, I called the assistant to arrange the screening hall and let the heads of all departments go to the screening room.

After chatting for a while, Li Mu took the CD and followed Director Xu to the screening hall, this less than 100-seat theater was already half occupied at this time, except for a dozen or so people who looked like leaders, the others were young people, men and women. Every time a film and television company brings its own TV series to the TV station to promote it, some people will always be selected to try two episodes first. After all, a TV generally has to be broadcast for half a month, and the advertising fee for this half a month and even later depends entirely on the ratings of the TV series, so the quality of the TV series is directly linked to the income of the TV station, and the top management of any TV station will not easily decide. Of course, some big-production TV series with big-name stars can be completely exempted from these. However, Li Mu's TV series can't be avoided, even Xu Zhiyuan, the director, can't ignore other people's ideas and insist on going his own way, otherwise once the ratings of the TV series are not ideal, it will become a reason for others to criticize him.

Those who came to participate in this trial meeting are still very happy, after all, it is a matter of pride to be able to see a TV series earlier than ordinary people, and if the TV series is exciting, you can also brag about it with your friends. For a while, there were people in the screening hall who kept discussing in a low voice, and it wasn't until they saw Director Xu come in that his voice was quieter.

There was nothing special about the test film meeting, there was no leader speech. Director Xu just said that he could start, and immediately a staff member took the disc and took it to the backstage.

A few minutes later, the first episode of "Love Apartment" officially began to air.

A few minutes of the opening passed, and the audience did not react, but Li Mu was not worried, the opening of this version was similar to the original version, although there was no laughing, but Li Mu did not change.

The first episode of the wedding brawl, at the beginning of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology genius young man Lu Zhanbo returned to China and met Lin Wanyu, a rich girl from the Lin Group, on the bus.

Li Mu finally relieved when he heard the audience's laughter, although this TV series has proven itself in another world, and his own filming is also very suitable for the original version, but Li Mu is always uneasy without being tested by the audience. Now it makes the audience laugh at the beginning, this is a good start, and Li Mu can also relax and enjoy this TV series.

The two episodes of TV only lasted for more than 80 minutes, and the laughter in this small screening room did not stop during this period, whether it was the TV station executives who pretended to be serious in the front row or the ordinary employees in the back, they were amused by the funny plot and exaggerated lines in the TV series.

After the TV ended, several high-level executives in the front row began to talk to each other.

In the small conference room of the TV station, most of the high-level executives of the TV station came, sat opposite Li Mu and Chu Fei, and the secretary poured a cup of tea for everyone. Director Xu took a sip of the teacup and said, "Xiao Li, we have all watched your TV series, and the response is very good, now let's talk about the price!"

Li Mu waited for this sentence, and said: "Director Xu and the leaders, I believe you have also seen the situation in the screening hall just now, and you have also experienced it firsthand, our drama is definitely a TV series with fire potential, according to the current market price, I think we can accept the price of 800,000 episodes." ”

After Li Mu finished speaking, he nervously looked at the reaction of everyone in front of him, of course this price is not the price in Li Mu's heart, you must know that the first round of prices of "Breaking through the Guandong" and "Dream of Red Mansions", which were popular in 08, is only 600,000 yuan for a single episode. But isn't it all like this when talking about business, asking for a price all over the place, just sitting on the ground and paying back.
