Zhang Ziyi felt that He Mu was so cute, as an actor, he actually valued who was better than a director's cooking skills, and when he saw Director Li An in the future, he must tell him that there was an actor in Chinese mainland who did not accept his cooking skills.

During the filming of "Very Perfect", He Mu starred, and the new film "Glass Heart" directed by Tao Quduo has been approved and obtained the shooting permit, and now He Mu's schedule is vacant, and the filming of this film has also been mentioned on the schedule.

The story prototype of "Glass Heart" is directed by Tao Quduo, and the award-winning short film "Female Trick" starring He Mu Zhang Jiani, this is the first starring opportunity He Mu obtained, which caused a great sensation on the Internet at the beginning, and is the earliest video in the mainland that became popular through the Internet, and now the concept of micro-film has appeared, "Female Trick" is also a micro-movie, and in 05 years, both quality and influence are top-notch, the story in "Female Trick" is still talked about by netizens, Now you can often see similar posts in some forums that deceive replies, all of which were learned from the original "Female Trick".

It is precisely because of the success of "Female Trick" that He Mu attracted the attention of a small number of netizens, accumulated a little bit of fame for the first time, and also accumulated confidence in his performance.

There was a time when he was relatively idle, He Mu went through the first trial of the script of "True Treasure", and he wanted to write a movie script for a while, because he was inspired by Wang Zihao and his second daughter in "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty", he asked Li Wenhua to help him buy "Dad. I am pregnant with your child" (also known as "Lovers") film adaptation rights, began to be carefully crafted, trying to depict the emotional drama of men and women. When he was in the capital, he occasionally went to Beiying to take classes and learn some screenwriting courses, and at that time he really regretted not taking the Beiying exam again.

After completing the basic construction of the script of "Lovers", He Mu found that he had not found a good starting point, and he was worried that the writing would be ruined, so he temporarily put down an adaptation work, and at this time he happened to see his original "Female Trick" on the Internet. He felt that the structure of this short film was very good, and it had the potential to be adapted into a movie, so he began to write the script. Later, in order to pursue perfection, he pulled in the two partners of Li Wenhua and Bei Sihan, and the most terrifying short film "Female Trick" became a series of misunderstandings between young couples due to oversensitivity, which eventually led to the script of the little sad love film "Glass Heart" that had a lover who did not become a family.

Coincidentally, at the same time as He Mu and several people adapted "Female Trick". Tao Quduo, the author of the original script, also remembered his old work. Always thinking about making it into a complete movie, it is best to scare everyone who has seen it, Tao Quduo has always had a soft spot for horror movies, but when he didn't finish the script, he saw the script rewritten by He Mu, and then stopped his adaptation work.

Tao Quduo doesn't think that he can't write well Mu Sanren, he thinks that as long as he makes a terrifying version of the new "Female Trick" according to his own ideas, he may be able to set a new benchmark for domestic horror films, but after watching "Glass Heart", he feels that this script is the kind of script that has a wide audience. The one that can maximize the benefits of the original short film, if you shoot according to the book of "Glass Heart". Coupled with a good cast, as long as he is still a little director, the box office of this film will not be bad, and the box office of "Dragon and Phoenix" has proved that it is possible to create a box office myth with love + big star + suitable schedule.

And if you take the horror film route, with the current domestic horror film market, the box office of two or three hundred million is considered top-notch, and such a box office is obviously not enough to support Tao Qu to make more well-made horror films.

For the sake of interests, Tao Quduo agreed to adapt "Female Trick" according to the script of "Glass Heart", and the name was changed to "Glass Heart", although He Mu's screenwriter trio has almost completed the script, but He Mu still supports Tao Fun Duo to change it himself, you can add some of his black style appropriately, this script is not so petty bourgeoisie, although it is about emotion, but it itself also has some heavy things, He Mu has seen some experimental small clips that Tao Quduo has filmed after "Female Trick", His style is quite in line with the temperament of "Glass Heart", plus he is the original author, so He Mu is relieved to hand over this script to him, a newcomer to the film director. Shop" is mostly "Night. If "Shop" is messed up, it will be a loss of two or three million, but "Glass Heart" will have an investment of nearly 10 million, creating a new high in investment in Shuimu Forest films.

This time, Mizuki decided that He Mu was looking for a first-line or quasi-first-line actress to play the role, so the investment may be higher, He Mu is still a producer, he has high requirements for the heroine, first of all, she must be beautiful, this is the premise that all plots can be promoted, a beautiful but mysterious girlfriend, a girlfriend who makes the male protagonist feel uneasy, if the heroine is an ugly girl, there is no need to go on later.

There is also a requirement that cannot be compromised is that the acting skills should be good, and it is not generally good, this is very important, whether it is the male protagonist A Liang or the heroine Xiaomei, there are a lot of inner dramas, at this time, people without acting skills will only make some twisted expressions according to the script, and those with advanced acting skills can analyze the character's heart through expressions and actions, compared with acting, even if they are not beautiful, they can be put aside temporarily, women will be beautiful as long as they are dressed properly, there are no ugly women, only lazy women.

In view of the high requirements for the heroine's acting skills, He Mu did not consider Shishi, Yang Mi, Tang Wei and other friends at all, their acting skills are not bad, but they can't meet He Mu's requirements, he hopes that the actresses who play with him can not fall behind, these little girls in their twenties are obviously a lot worse, and they still need to hone in a few plays.

So this time He Mu is going to find a big sister to play with him, and he really can't think of anyone among his peers. Fortunately, He Mu is used to it, it is Zhou Xun who has emotional entanglements with him in "Painted Skin", Zhao Wei in "Red Cliff", Lin Zhiling who plays his wife in "True Treasure", and the just-concluded "Very Perfect", Zhang Ziyi, who is in love with him, and Zhen Bingbing, who plays his sister, these actresses are older than He Mu, he is used to ignoring the age of himself and his opponents, and is good at performing the maturity of some thirty-year-old men, which also makes the young He Mu get an "old-fashioned" evaluation in the circle.

In order to formulate a detailed shooting plan for "Glass Heart", He Mu pulled Li Wenhua and Bei Sihan, the two script creators, into their internal meeting, and in the discussion of the heroine, Bei Sihan first proposed Zhou Xun, "Brother Xun is beautiful, and his acting skills are really invincible, even if he pretends to be tender and plays Xiaomei, he won't feel uncomfortable, how about it?" ”

Before He Mu could speak, Chen Li first denied it, "Why don't you say Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun's salary has now soared to 4 million, please can't afford it!" Now Chen Li has become the big housekeeper of Shuimu Forest, he is very sensitive to money, he hopes to control the investment in this film within 10 million, and Zhou Xun's salary among young actresses in the mainland should be second only to Zhang Ziyi, and even higher than Zhao Wei, I heard that when she took over the filming of the company's "The Wind", the salary had reached 4 million, which was more than twice that of the other heroine Li Bingbing, and the salary of the acting goddess was really not covered.

Although Zhou Xun can add a lot of color to the film, the cost is too high, if it weren't for the blockbuster, He Mu would not consider her, and He Mu would support Chen Li at this point.

"And who else is suitable?" Bei Sihan muttered, "Anyway, when I wrote the script, I was thinking about Zhou Xun." ”

Li Wenhua picked up the old newspaper on He Mu's desk, "Forbes China Celebrity List, you can't find it from here." ”

"Hey, that's a good idea." Tao Quduo also got over, and the celebrities on the celebrity list are basically celebrities whose fame and popularity have reached a certain level, and they are all popular.

When Tao Quduo, Chen Li, and Bei Sihan were checking the celebrity list one by one, He Mu pulled Li Wenhua aside, "Fat, discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Don't I have some spare money on hand, so I'm going to buy the film adaptation rights of a few novels from you." Script reserves are what all large film and television companies are doing, with a small scale like Shuimu Forest, it is not necessary, you may not be able to shoot it if you buy so much, the adaptation rights are time-limited, and after this period, the copyright holder can sell it to others, but He Mu insists that content is king, and it is a good choice to adapt the novel when the screenwriting team is not yet mature, he believes that as long as there is a good story content, it is not difficult to shoot it and sell it for money.

"How many do you want to buy?" Li Wenhua asked, now Tiger Wolf has published more than 100 fiction books, and he has a lot of copyrights.

"Let's get 10 million first."

"Hey, it's big enough!"

"That's right, I don't have much else now, it's just a lot of money."

Just a joke, He Mu is not really arrogant enough to buy movie copyrights with tens of millions of dollars, he only won the adaptation rights of the four novels of "Du Lala's Promotion", "Art School Girls" (1 and 2), and "My Beauty Boss", which add up to more than two million, of which "Du Lala" is probably more than the next three combined, and the specific number Li Wenhua did not take it out immediately, he said that he would go back and calculate what price he wanted to sell, and his brothers should also settle the account, Even if He Mu is the second shareholder of Tiandi Media, Li Wenhua can't sacrifice the interests of the author, he can sell as high as he can in the copyright transaction, everything is aimed at making the author comfortable, even He Mu didn't negotiate.

After the most reluctant, Li Wenhua also seduced He Mu, "Buy more?" My "Tomb Robbery Notes" and "Tibetan Code" are very sought-after. (To be continued......)
