Chapter 217: The Upper Film Festival

When He Mu was sitting in the office of Deputy Dong of Tiger Wolf, his assistant, secretary and niece Xiao Nan told him that a guest had come to visit.

This visitor He Mu didn't know, he claimed to be the general manager of Starlight Film and Television Company, surnamed Yu.

Starry? This name is a little familiar, when Mr. Yu mentioned the name of "Jing Tian", He Mu remembered it, as if Jing Tian, who passed the audition two days ago, was this company.

Seeing the smile on Mr. Yu's face, He Mu knew his intention, it was nothing more than hoping that Jing Tian could get the role of the second daughter, compared with the other girls who did not have a brokerage company, Jing Tian, who had the help of the company, could undoubtedly take a lot of shortcuts.

After a few words of greeting, just as He Mu was thinking about how to refuse politely, Mr. Yu took out a plan, and He Mu skimmed it roughly, to the effect that the starry light can provide half of the filming funds for "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty", but only enjoy 30% of the income, and the exchange condition is that Jing Tian must play the second daughter, and must ensure that the role is not less than the female No. 1 Sun Li, and there can be no intimate scenes, and ......

He Muqiang endured to read a lot of additional conditions in the back, and then pouted and smiled at the general, "Didn't you always think that 50% of the investment was only exchanged for 30% of the income, and we tiger wolves took a big advantage?" ”

Mr. Yu leaned back on the sofa, lifted Erlang's legs, and said arrogantly, "Isn't it?" ”

"Mr. Yu should have just entered this industry, I don't know about other dramas, but the drama starring me He Mu, the yield is not twice as high, even if I smash my signboard, you can inquire in the circle, the yield of "Flight Attendant" is more than five times. "Chang'an Chaos" is almost, and now it has nearly tripled the return, and the investment in "True Treasure" is huge. But now the copyright sold has almost recovered the cost, if your company invests half of the income and only enjoys 10% of the income, I can consider it, after all, Miss Jing Tian's own conditions are not bad. ”

Hearing He Mu's words, Mr. Yu was about to say something, He Mu said again: "Also, I understand the newcomers who praise their own company, and I can also understand some tricks in casting, this line is like this." If you have money and background, you will have more opportunities than others, but at least you should lower your posture and don't think that being rich is omnipotent. At least I can be more comfortable this way, but your miscellaneous requirements make me very uncomfortable, even if Sun Li and Xu Qing don't have so many requirements, I'm not happy. That's why you have to say, 'Xiao Nan. Drop-off! ’”

Xiao Nan, who was standing beside He Mu, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, the uncle was really domineering, so handsome! He Mu almost always appears as an actor outside, and he has never seen him swagger as a tiger wolf deputy director, so that most people have never seen He Mu as a leader, and they have even forgotten He Mu's other identity.

He Mu felt that he and Li Pang partnered to create the world of Xuanhuang, and he didn't learn much about the ability of publishing, but he cultivated the momentum of many superiors. It's just that the master has been hiding the edge.

Mr. Yu's face was slightly red, and he was also a young man. He had been choked like this, he picked up the plan and stood up with a pout, "Okay, very good!" ”

After Mr. Yu left, He Mu found Datang and Xiao Fang, and asked them what was the origin of this starry star, it was very cool when he "made a big fuss" just now, and after he finished speaking, he was worried that he would get into trouble, after all, in order to support the newcomer, he was willing to directly invest half of a big-budget TV series, such a company should not be so easy to bully.

Xiao Fang didn't know anything about this company, Datang learned that the company was newly established last year through some connections in the circle, and only signed Jing Tian, an artist, after its establishment, and it seems that he only intends to sign this one artist, this company is very low-key after its establishment, there is no action, it is said that there is support from the financier behind the scenes, but the financier behind the scenes is also very low-key and mysterious.

Xiao Fang comforted He Mu not to take it to heart, this kind of company is estimated to be a rich man's game, there are many such in the industry, and none of them have really become a climate, after all, investing in the film and television industry, if it is not for the purpose of making money, it will definitely not be able to become bigger and stronger. He Mu thought deeply of Xiao Fang's last sentence.

In the second round of auditions two days later, Jing Tian was absent, and the two daughters were selected from Zheng Wei, Wang Ziwen, and Jiang Kaitong. The time and place of the second round of auditions were personally notified to Jing Tian by He Mu, although her agency was a bit excessive, but He Mu would not put his total disgust on her, but Jing Tian apologized to He Mu, saying that because of some arrangements from the company, she could not participate in this audition, and hoped to cooperate in the future.

In the practice room in the Tiger Wolf Company, He Mu, Xiao Fang, and Tao Quduo acted as interviewers to determine the final candidates.

The script is now halfway completed, and He Mu intercepted the part of the second daughter for the three girls to watch for a while, and then performed. The performance is divided into two parts, one is the stupid state of the second daughter, and the other is the appearance of the second daughter seducing Wang Zihao when she is shrewd. As the actor of Wang Zihao, He Mu will personally play with them.

To say that pretending to be cute, this is Zheng Wei's strength, she is a cute type in herself, she can be very cute as long as she uses a little snack, plus her superficial understanding of the character of the second daughter, after a short performance with He Mu, won unanimous praise from everyone, in addition, Wang Ziwen's performance is also very outstanding, she has the most thorough understanding of the characters, and it seems that she has worked the original work, she understands what kind of state the author and screenwriter want, so she plays the second daughter the most godlike, this round, Jiang Kaitong's performance is more modest.

The second round of seducing Wang Zihao is just some dialogue, and it does not involve body movements, even so, the three girls are a little shy, of course, there are degrees of shyness, the heaviest is Jiang Kaitong, and the lightest is Wang Ziwen, but he was a little uncomfortable at first, and he performed very well later.

Combining the two performances, Wang Ziwen is undoubtedly the best actor, Zheng Wei is second, Jiang Kai is at the bottom, no matter He Mu or Tao Quduo, they all think that Wang Ziwen is a very spiritual actor, which may also be related to the fact that she has been in the circle for a period of time before.

However, the final selection must be determined to have both god and form, and from this point of view, Wang Ziwen is the least like the second daughter.

The last choice is actually He Mu's choice, who he said, that is, he said Zheng Wei, so Zheng Wei is the second daughter.

This news was a bit cruel to the other two girls, so He Mu told them that he would give them a final answer within three days, and it was better to say it on the phone if he refused.

At this point, the main candidates for the crew of "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty" have been basically determined, and there are some secondary roles He Mu let Director Tao and Producer Cai choose or find them directly from the actors' union after arriving in Hengdian, maybe they can find the next He Mu, and what He Mu has to do now is to fly to Hengdian.

Previously, he had sent the staff in charge of the preliminary preparations of the crew to select the shooting scenes in the main film and television bases across the country. An Yingcheng is the most suitable, through the photos sent back by the staff, plus He Mu is familiar with Hengdian, so he decided to go to Hengdian to inspect first.

When you come to Hengdian, you must go to Chang Dabao's house first, and by the way, settle the role's affairs. He Mu handed over the script to Chang Dabao to read, and during the time He Mu was eating and drinking, Chang Dabao confirmed, "I play the money housekeeper and make myself old, it's not a big problem." ”

He Mu took a bite of braised meat and said, "Okay, I'll inform Tao Quduo later, let him set the role of Cheng Biting Jin, and Brother Bao, you have to go to the capital as soon as possible to do the makeup and styling, and now it has already started over there." "Several of He Mu's own looks have already been completed, all of which are made by top domestic film and television stylists, and they are called handsome.

Chang Dabao nodded and asked He Mu, "You came here this time to find a shooting location, right?" ”

"Well, this time it's a Tang Dynasty drama, so I have to find a lot of Tang Dynasty buildings, Hengdian is an option, and Xi. Ann might go around as well. He Mu did not hide it, if you want to talk about the familiarity of the land, you have to say Chang Dabao, although He Mu also claims to have turned around Hengdian Cinema, but there are changes here every day, and he who has not been here for more than half a year is definitely not as good as Brother Bao, the head snake.

Sure enough, hearing He Mu say this, Chang Dabao patted his chest and promised to take He Mu to find the Tang Dynasty building complex tomorrow, there must be what he wants here.

Hengdian is worthy of being known as China's Hollywood, the scene here is rich, including the architectural styles of the past dynasties, in the Tang Dynasty building complex, He Mu found the ideal palace house, and some restaurants, green buildings, tea shops, so that their people can basically use it after a makeover, these things He Mu asked his subordinates to talk to the studio management meeting, especially the house he fancied, he must leave him for a month.

Overall, Hengdian still makes He Mu very satisfied, only one thing is that Wang Zihao still has a house in the deep mountains and old forests, and He Mu did not find a suitable one here. This courtyard is also a very important scene, not sloppy, since Hengdian does not have it, He Mu has to find a way elsewhere. On the one hand, he asked Brother Bao to help him pay attention to whether there was a suitable house in the mountains, and on the other hand, he mobilized the company's staff to look for it in other film and television bases.

After leaving Hengdian, He Mu first went to the magic capital, the 11th session. During the Hai International Film Festival, although He Mu did not have any works shortlisted or screened, as a super popular local star, He Mu was invited by the Organizing Committee of the Shanghai Film Festival to be a guest of honor for a small award. The chairman of the jury of the Shanghai Film Festival this time is Wang Jiawei, and he personally invited him, the two are old acquaintances, He Mu naturally can't help but give face, just attend the closing ceremony and award ceremony, it won't take a few hours, and besides, he is not really that busy.

The Shanghai Film Festival is the first and only A-class international film festival in China (Note 1), although it is the same as Cannes, Berlin, and Venice as the nine A-class international film festivals, but her influence is not a little bit worse, and it is even inferior to the East Film Festival in neighboring countries.
