Chapter 271: Scheduled Schedule

Xiao Fang answered Zong Lei's question: "To be precise, our company has contracted a shooting and distribution task, and the other party has a source of funds, we only need to provide some equipment and personnel assistance during film shooting, as well as publicity and distribution, and enjoy the distribution share of the movie box office after the most reluctance." ”

Now Zi Zonglei is relieved, it seems that it is a risky business, now there are too many rich people who have money and want to play movies, and they don't have the ability to create a film company, so they invest a lot of money to shoot by the official film company, the film company makes some hard money, and the rich man earns fame or helps his women earn some eyeballs and attention, and each takes what he needs.

Zong Lei asked again, "What type of movie is this, how large is the expected investment, and are there any alternative actors?" Xiao Fang just said that He Mu is in charge of the movie, and it is a bit inappropriate for him to ask this at this time, but Xiao Fang naturally will not pick on him.

"The movie genre is comedy, the scale of investment is not large, more than three million, the actor has already determined He Mu, and the other roles are to be determined." Xiao Fang gave a brief introduction, to be honest, he still doesn't know much about the project "Supermarket", and he doesn't plan to figure it out too much, he will be fully responsible for this movie, whether he can rely on this movie to learn If he is a successful filmmaker, it depends on himself, Xiao Fang will not help him this time, his success means that he has the ability to fly by himself.

After the meeting, Xiao Fang called He Mu into the office: "As you wish, this movie is cooperated by you and Tiger Wolf, now you can start planning, the producer of "Flight Attendant" is me, I hope you can do better than me this time." ”

"I'll make sure it!" He Mu said firmly. He didn't receive a call from Xiao Fang yesterday, and he thought that Xiao Fang rejected his proposal, but he didn't expect him to mention it directly at the company's high-level meeting the next day, which was really a bit unexpected.

"Hmm. Remember to figure out the accounts, after experiencing "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty", you shouldn't need me to tell you anything. "Okay, let him come completely by himself this time, but I still can't help but want to remind him, so as not to make a low-level mistake.

After seeing He Mu leave, Xiao Fang's mood was extremely relaxed and happy, Hao Hui was right, He Mu was more courageous than himself. is more talented than himself, he is not willing to be mediocre, but it is difficult to show himself in him. Therefore, the best way is to let him go into the world alone, but before that, He Mu still needs to go through the last test and pass Xiao Fang to rest assured.

He Mu is going to contact Yang Qing and Xu Zheng, one is the director. One is a veteran actor with a discerning eye. has many years of experience in comedy performances, and He Mu himself has some ideas, and he hopes that there will be a little spark between the three of them.

But before that, He Mu was stopped by Datang first, "I'm looking for you, let's talk about your next work first." ”

Although He Mu can't wait to start his film work, there are more urgent advertising jobs waiting for him, Suning Electric and FAW-Volkswagen are waiting for him to shoot commercials, and Lao Baigan is also going to change to a new brand advertisement.

He Mu not only has high ratings for TV dramas. The movie box office is good, and even the commercials that are shot are very popular. Not to mention that the previous Xiao advertising has created the glory of today's Xiao company, and not to say that the endorsement of Lao Baigan has rejuvenated Hengshui Distillery, let's just say that Yida chewing gum not long ago, a sentence of "is your Yida" has made Yida chewing gum a household name and become a necessary magic weapon for men and women in love, even Guo Biting, who was very unfamiliar in the mainland before, has also become famous, "Yida girl" has become her new synonym, and there are more and more endorsement fees and endorsement activities after returning to Taiwan, and she is known as a new generation of "advertising diva".

Therefore, He Mu is extremely valuable in the eyes of merchants, and it is no wonder that his endorsement fee is almost a price a day, and sometimes he may not be able to invite He Mu if he has a price.

In Datang's office, Datang and He Mu negotiated the time for shooting advertisements and attending some business activities, He Mu basically agreed, Datang then notified the merchants and Xiao Nan, and Xiao Nan assisted in supervising He Mu to complete the shooting task, according to the current work intensity He Mu may not be able to film within half a month, but the preliminary preparation of the film also takes a certain amount of time, although "Supermarket" is simply like a graduation work of a directing student, but it is also a movie that is ready to be released in theaters. It's easy to be sloppy.

After making some preparations, He Mu picked a quiet place and made an appointment with Xu Zheng and Yang Qing in the evening.

He Mu and Yang Qing are a two-way choice relationship, He Mu is now very satisfied with Yang Qing and his script, and Yang Qing is also very satisfied after hearing the director fee and other benefits given by He Mu, the director fee of 200,000 yuan (including the script fee) is quite difficult for him as a newcomer, and if the box office exceeds 20 million, his director fee will be increased to 500,000, if the box office exceeds 50 million, the director fee is 1 million, although it is a bit of a flower in the moon mirror, you can see the feeling of not being able to eat, But this hope is too important for a rookie director, which means that if he does well enough and has enough luck, maybe a movie can make him a millionaire.

And if he participates in the new director support plan of China Film, he can only get a director's opportunity and a small amount of script fee, which is far less profitable than cooperating with Tiger Wolf, so the two-way choice relationship is established, which also means that the "Supermarket" plan can be opened for the time being.

Taking advantage of the fact that He Mu and Xu Zheng were there, they talked about the problem of the role.

There are two important male characters in the script, one is the lottery player He Sanshui who kidnapped the supermarket clerk, and the other is the salesman in the store, Li Junwei, the little steel tooth, the story unfolds from Li Junwei's perspective, Yang Qing also said that Li Junwei is the male number one, but in He Mu's opinion, the highlight of the whole movie is still on He Sanshui.

Although He Mu is nicknamed He Sanshui, this role is Xu Zheng's, and he can only play the role of Li Junwei, which is a relatively mediocre role that does not require too many skills and is not challenging for He Mu, so He Mu suggested that the focus of the film should be shifted to Brother Shui, which won Xu Zheng's applause for him, and he also has similar ideas to He Mu, but as the actor of He Sanshui, he is not good at saying this, and now it is best for He Mu to put it forward. Xu Zheng also saw from this detail the good quality of He Muwei's works, regardless of personal scenes.

He Mu thinks that before deciding on the cast, it is best to decide the schedule and the audience for the audience, so the topic of the role will end here, and they will start to discuss the schedule next.

"Before discussing the schedule of the movie, determine the shooting time, this depends on the schedule of the actors, let's talk about mine first, I am free in November and December." He Mu first said that Datang had contacted Cheng Long before, although Cheng Long did not officially send an invitation to the Tiger Wolf Artist Department, but Cheng Long He Mu's cooperation was almost a certainty, and Cheng Long's response was that the director had not yet been determined, and filming would start as early as January next year, so He Mu did not have any major work tasks before that.

Xu Zheng said: "I have a schedule in November, and the drama tour in December will be busy, so I can only spare more than a week, and I will be more free in January and February next year, and I will make a new movie in March." His so-called movie is directed by Ning Hao, and he is the male lead in "No Man's Land", which played soy sauce twice in Ning Hao's movie, and this time it was finally corrected.

The most important thing in this drama is that he and Xu Zheng should give priority to coordinating the schedules of the two of them, but the situation is a little unoptimistic, He Mu scratched his head and said, "In this way, everyone is free in November, Brother Xu is busy in December, I may be busy in January, this has not yet been determined, I estimate that I will definitely be very busy in February, and Brother Xu will be busy again in March, this is ......"

"It seems that only in November are available, but this is too rushed." Yang Qingdao frowned, but once he missed November, it is likely that he will have to wait until next year to ensure that the two of them have a slot at the same time, Yang Qing still hopes that the movie can be made as soon as possible and nothing will go wrong.

He Mu doesn't think so, "How can you be in a hurry, it's October 22nd, there are still ten days left in November, ten days can do a lot of things, and the filming of "Supermarket" doesn't take long, as little as a week or more than half a month, it will definitely be filmed, so we can shoot in mid-November, so there will be almost a month of preparation time, the script is very perfect, there are parts that need to be modified can be decided according to the scene effect during shooting, shooting equipment and related staff are responsible for Tiger Wolf, The filming location is not a problem, so it will be good to find the remaining actors in this month, I think Director Yang should have some suitable candidates in his mind when writing the script, and presumably the casting should not take too much time, so there will be no rush to start filming in November, I think it's okay. ”

"Hearing you say this, it seems to be really fine," Xu Zheng nodded, "The movie will almost be finished in November, when is the schedule set." For He Mu to choose the schedule first and then choose the actors, this is very much in line with Xu Zheng's thoughts, because the division of the schedule is very important to divide the moviegoers, what kind of schedule and what kind of movie are particular, a good movie chooses the wrong schedule will cause quite serious consequences, and an ordinary movie is likely to create a box office miracle if it chooses the right schedule.

He Mu did his homework, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth: "Although domestic audiences have not yet developed the habit of watching a certain type of film in a specific schedule, there are still some rules to follow, such as the Chinese New Year file, everyone wants to be happy, and at this time, it is easier for comedy films to produce results, so I think it is more appropriate to put "Supermarket" in the Chinese New Year file. ”

"Lunar New Year?" Yang Qing opened his mouth wide.

"Which one?" Xu Zheng is quite calm.

"That's it." He Mu clasped his arms to his chest and said confidently.
