Zhang Jingchu not only replied the latest, but also had the highest requirements, with a salary of 1.5 million, and in addition, the later film promotion activities can also be selectively participated, stand-ins for filming passion scenes, independent dressing rooms, etc.

Zhang Jingchu is comparable to Zhu Bingbing, she must not be comparable, she just has a certain reputation in the film industry and has cooperated with some big-name directors, but in the eyes of ordinary audiences, she is no different from a second-rate star, which is a major problem for stars who have not accumulated popularity through TV series and become popular directly by movies. If you really want to spend 1.5 million, He Mu might as well really invite Zhu Bingbing, the acting skills are a little worse, but this is not a literary film, and I don't expect to win awards, how many topics and news pages can be added to a Zhu Bingbing, this is not something that Zhang Jingchu can compare.

This asking price is too ruthless, and the agent's explanation is attached to the back, saying that the risk of cooperating with a new director is very big for Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Jingchu has accumulated a very good reputation in the industry with so many excellent works before, and taking over this "Glass Heart" is using his many years of artistic achievements to give it a go, which should naturally be higher than the market price.

Seeing that He Mu was a little unhappy, Tao Qu, who was standing on the side, smiled more self-deprecatingly, "This Zhang Jingchu should be used to working with big-name directors, and he is not very comfortable with newcomers like us, and it is true that he has no experience in directing feature films before, and he will make a lot of mistakes." ”

"Which director didn't come from the first part, and Gu Changwei's filming of "Peacock" was not also the first one. She didn't become famous at that time, so why didn't she say anything. ”

Tao Quduo thought to himself, can that be compared. Gu Changwei was Zhang Yimou's royal photographer at that time, and his reputation was no worse than that of some directors.

He Mu said again, "Forget it, choose from the last two, who do you think is more suitable?" He Mu asked Tao Quduo for advice, and Zhang Jingchu was no longer in his consideration.

"I've got the final say?" Tao Fun smiled a lot.

"You don't have to choose the male protagonist, of course the opportunity for the heroine to choose must be left to you." He Mu said as a matter of course.

"Then Zhang Yuqi. First of all, she has a schedule right away and can cooperate with us in filming, and Zhang Yuqi is not very old. A year younger than you, playing a couple is more convincing, and most importantly has a low pay, so you can spend more money on increasing the quality of your film. "Tao Quduo made a decision. And list the three benefits of using Zhang Yuqi.

He Mu smiled. "Even if you find a heroine with a salary of 2 million, I won't be short of two pounds in the production fee, but it's good to be able to shoot immediately, I hope this movie can be released before the National Day, but unfortunately I can't cooperate with Mr. Yuan Quan, who I have loved since I was a child."

"Why are you rushing to the National Day file so much?" Tao Qu asked.

"Because there will be a super blockbuster "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" released on the National Day, this originally good schedule has become a minefield, if it is not on it before, then it is better to wait until November, the New Year file is too lively. We're not going to join in the fun this year. ”

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic is so terrible? Can't other movies in the same schedule survive? Tao Quduo thought He Mu was exaggerating.

He Mu nodded solemnly, "I just thought it was a movie with stars. Maybe the quality is so-so, but after filming a scene, I found that the directors are still very serious, and the actors are all very high-level performances, not the thunder film I imagined, this movie may make history, and don't forget its political significance, even if the market doesn't like it, the policy will make it have a very high film schedule, I think the month after it is probably dangerous. ”

He Mu said it so seriously, Tao Quduo can only be taken seriously, it is the beginning of April, if the film starts in mid-April, it can probably be filmed in late May or early June, then he will have three months left in post-production and publicity time, which is enough for an urban love film with no special effects.

"Okay, let's try to be in September, and if we can't make it, we'll wait until November." Interesting.

"It's better to be early or early," He Mu took a sip of tea, "It's released early, if the results are good and you become famous, I can let you make another horror movie while it's hot, the kind he likes." ”

"Really? What horror movie? Is it a written script or an adapted screenplay? Tao Qu asked a few more questions, and it seemed that he was really interested.

He Mu pouted, "I can't reveal the specific content to you yet, I'm afraid you will be distracted, I'll tell you when this movie is finished in post-production, but I have to say okay, "Glass Heart" must make money before I give you money to shoot, if this movie loses, you can give me three years of day work." ”

At this time, Tao Qu became more serious, indeed, although he has a good relationship with He Mu, but Shuimu Forest is a film company for the purpose of making money, as a director, he should take making money as his own responsibility, if he loses money for the company, he will not have the confidence to regain the guide tube in a short time, so he must devote himself to the filming and production of "Glass Heart", strive to be the most perfect, and release all his accumulation over the years, which is not only responsible for the company, but also responsible for his own directorial career.

After Tao Quduo left, He Mu picked up the notice issued by the Ministry of Finance sent from the tiger wolf, which was a notice on several tax policy issues to support the development of cultural enterprises, and the notice mentioned that film companies, film studios, and other film enterprises engaged in film production, distribution, and screening are exempt from value-added tax and business tax on the income from the sale of film copies, the income from the transfer of film copyrights, the income from film distribution, and the income from film screenings obtained in rural areas.

It can be seen from the notice that the state's support for the cultural industry, especially the film industry, is increasing, and in the future, the company and the cinema will trade copies, and the film channel will trade copyrights and film distribution, and you can save a lot of money, although it is less, but the accumulation is also considerable, of course, He Mu hopes most that the 5% film development fund can be canceled, this policy is only for Chinese films, every year the national Chinese film has paid so many development funds, but I don't see this money spent, So I really feel a little uncomfortable paying this money.

In fact, seeing this notice from the Ministry of Finance, He Mu was still a little moved, this move was for Xiao Fang, he knew that he usually wouldn't look at this kind of policy thing, so he sent it to him immediately after seeing it, so that he had a spectrum in his heart, the relationship between the two did not produce any cracks with the separation of the tiger and wolf Shuimu, and even He Mu was invited to his house by Xiao Fang many times, and now they are pure friends, and the friendship is further and more indestructible.

In the end, "Glass Heart" determined the heroine Zhang Yuqi, and He Mu personally called Yuan Quan to express his apologies, "Because the movie is about to start, it is not too expensive, so I chose someone else, and if I have the opportunity, I still very much hope to cooperate with Mr. Yuan." ”

"It's okay, I hope you can make a movie that touches everyone." After Yuan Quan ended He Mu's call, he picked up another script "Like a Dream", without "Glass Heart", and "Like a Dream", without He Mu, Wu Yanzu is also very good, and this movie is willing to wait for her.

Although the star girl was determined as the heroine of the film, Mizuki and Xinghui were silent, He Mu and Zhang Yuqi were nominated at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, and the two will join hands to attend the awards ceremony that night, and the speculation about the heroine of "Glass Heart" will naturally be clear, so during this period, there was a lot of gossip about the heroine of He Mu's new film, and many people were inclined to He Mu to invite Liu Shishi, and there were several times when the two had dinner together as evidence, but Shishi claimed at an event that she did not receive an invitation, smashed this rumor, and as a result, more rumors came out, and Yang Mi and Sun Li became the objects of conjecture.

Before the movie started, He Mu Tao had met Zhang Yuqi a few times, and the first impression was that he had a good figure, especially the full breasts were about to come out, which made people unable not to pay attention, and when they came into contact with more, they would feel that this woman had a bold personality, and she was a very standard mountain 'dong girl, even in the face of He Mu, who was both a star and a boss, she was still unfazed, maybe she had been in contact with Zhou Xingchi for a long time, in her opinion, He Mu was nothing, no matter how powerful he was, he could be better than Zhou Xingchi.

In the past few times he has been in contact with Zhang Yuqi, Tao Quduo is mainly discussing with her the character Xiaomei in the film, what kind of state he hopes Zhang Yuqi will show in the play, sometimes He Mu will interject, once Zhang Yuqi was really curious, so he asked, "Brother Mu, you know the script so thoroughly, and you even have studied the inner drama of the heroine?" ”

Tao Quduo He Mu explained, "The script was written by him, and of course he has studied it." ”

Zhang Yuqi only noticed at this time that there was a line of small characters written on the back of the script that I couldn't see clearly if I didn't look carefully, screenwriters: He Mu, Bei Sihan, Tao Quduo, Li Wenhua.

The screenwriter of the film script of Shuimu Forest has such a rule, whoever contributes to the script is the first to be named. The script was first proposed by He Mu, and most of it was written by him, so his name came first. Because this play focuses on love, Bei Sihan provided a lot of creativity and ideas for the script, enriching the content and texture of the script, and romance, touching, and love-hate entanglement are her main contributions. Tao Quduo ranks third because he is the original author, and he has also adapted He Mu's version of the script to a certain extent, adding his own style and understanding, as for Li Wenhua, he has contributed the least, so he is ranked last.

Zhang Yuqi glanced at He Mu twice, it was really amazing, now he was almost qualified to compare with the amazing and gorgeous star master.

In order to keep the information of the heroine confidential for the time being, the film does not plan to hold a start-up ceremony and start filming directly, and the plan is to start with the indoor scene first, and then shoot the more difficult outdoor part after filming the indoor scene.

However, before filming, He Mu also had to go to Japan, because "Red Cliff. "Next" is about to be released in Japan, and as the main actor in the film, He Mu has the obligation to show up for the promotion of the film.
