After Yang Guang said all the schedule arrangements for 2007, Zhang Mu thought for a moment before nodding slightly.

However, out of caution, he still carefully checked with Yang Guang.

Then, just as Yang Guang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly said:

"By the way, boss, Focus Pictures sent us an audition invitation a few days ago, saying that it was to select the heroine for Li Amine's new film, are we going to go?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mu suddenly couldn't help frowning slightly:

"It's good that they're casting normally, so why bother?"

When Yang Guang heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up slightly, and he smiled:

"I think they should have something to ask you, anyway, when Romus in Focus contacted me, it was obvious that there was something to say."

Hearing this, Zhang Mu pondered for a while, and then called Michelle in the rice country.

After a moment, he hung up the phone with a smile.

Facing Yang Guang's puzzled eyes, Zhang Mu immediately explained:

"I figured it out, because the "Search" adapted by Legendary Pictures was released."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mu shrugged his shoulders with his hands spread out and said:

"It's been more than half a year, and to be honest, I've almost forgotten about it!"

However, when Yang Guang heard this, Yang Guang couldn't help but light up his eyes and said:

"The legendary "Search" has been released?"

"How's the box office, is it a big hit?"

Although the adaptation rights have been sold, no matter how much the box office of "Search" made by Legendary Pictures, Makino Media will not be able to share a penny.

But Yang Guang is still very concerned about this number.

After all, the box office of the American version of "Search" is a little higher, and the adaptation rights of Zhang Mu's movies will be easier to sell in the future.

It's a pity that Zhang Mu shook his head.

"You think too much, Legendary Pictures is taking the award-winning route this time, and only arranges small-scale reflections in the early stage to control word of mouth."

"However, it is precisely because "Search" performed well in the Outpost Awards that it has recently been regarded by many media as the favorite of this Oscar."

Yang Guang was puzzled: "So what?" ”

Zhang Mu reluctantly explained:

"Focus Pictures was only established in May of last year, under the umbrella of Universal Pictures, and has recently been increasingly called the 'new Miramax' by the Hollywood media.

And all nicknames don't come out of nowhere!

Any idea what that means? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mu showed a strange smile on his face and said:

"Obviously, the president of Focus Pictures wants to be the new uncrowned king of Hollywood."

Hearing this, Yang Guang suddenly realized.

At the beginning, Harvey relied on making waves at the Oscars to establish his power in Hollywood.

At its peak, even though everyone knew that the strength of the eldest cousin was not as good as that of other nominees, he still won the position of Oscar actress.

It can be said that during that time, Harvey manipulated a large number of Oscar judges as dolls through his flexible public relations methods.

Although Harvey is gradually going downhill, it is clear that the methods he once practiced are being learned by his peers.

Focus Pictures wants to imitate Harvey and rely on the domination of the Oscars to gain power in Hollywood.

The reason why Focus Pictures showed favor to Zhang Mu was also because he saw the performance of the American version of "Search" and wanted to cooperate with him in literary films.

To be honest, when he first heard the news, Zhang Mu was still quite moved.

It was only after listening to Michelle's analysis that Goofy died of this thought.

Because Focus Pictures is also "casting a wide net and catching more fish".

As for the overtures in casting this time, to put it mildly, it's just a dog bone thrown out by Focus Pictures.

No sincerity!

But hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but hesitate a little and said:

"What about "Lust and Caution"? After all, Li amine just won the Academy Award for the second time last year! ”

To be honest, in the eyes of the domestic media, Li Amine is the number one Chinese director.

As for the old Mouzi Chen poet or something, they have to be in the back row.

And after Zhang Mu was silent for a moment, he just sighed softly:

"Looking at people from movies, Li Amine is becoming a native of the United States step by step.

There is something wrong with the idea of "Lust and Caution", and I don't like it very much.

But after this step...... He has truly become a Mi Guo man! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mu suddenly felt a little tired, so he waved his hand and said:

"Alright, we won't interfere in this matter.

Don't stop the people from the company if they want to go, let them choose! ”

Yang Guang didn't know why Zhang Mu suddenly became angry, but he didn't talk much, and left even though he had a good eye.

And sure enough, when the news of the casting of "Lust and Caution" spread, not only Makino's artists, but almost all actresses in the domestic film and television industry climaxed.

People who did not go through that period will not understand.

After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Brokeback Mountain", Li Amine before "Lust and Caution" was praised by the Chinese people.

Many domestic actresses even regard starring in Li Amine's movies as a direct ticket to Hollywood!

After all, the examples of the international chapter are still hanging there!

It's just that this audition really didn't give many actresses the courage to try.

……

The next day, when several actresses under Makino participated in the audition for "Lust and Caution", they all came back with complicated expressions.

In the backyard of Makino Bar, I saw a few beautiful women who were quite elated before leaving, and they were really sitting there drinking with a stomach full of anger at the moment.

Anyway, since there is this bar, Zhang Mu is about to become an internal club in Muye.

After a few glasses of wine, I saw that the little fairy hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't help but complain:

"Why is Director Li Amine like this?

Where is this sacrifice for art?

There is still a difference between art and color and emotion! ”

It is said that although there are many actresses in this audition, it can even be said that the actresses who can be named on both sides of the strait have gone.

But in the end, Li Amine only communicated with Shu Qi, Little Fairy, and International Zhang.

It's just that the more this happens, the more unacceptable the little fairy feels.

Even after listening to Li Amine's request for performance, the little fairy left without saying a word.

Liu Xiaoli didn't even say anything about this, and very rarely resolutely gave up this opportunity that seemed good to others.

And when she heard her say this, she had been secretly trying to say goodbye to the little fairy, but this time she rarely echoed the same enemy.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Mu, who had just come out of the study, suddenly chuckled and said:

"Yo, what's wrong? Is this a collective run for me this drunken coming? ”

Looking at Zhang Mu's puzzled eyes, Zeng Li shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to speak.

Seeing this, Wan Qian on the side gently brushed the hair around her ears, and then said a little speechlessly:

"Director Li Amine asked all the actresses who auditioned to strip naked!"

"Wow!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mu couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

After all, he has only watched "Lust and Caution", and he doesn't know much about the tidbits in it.

So he immediately couldn't help but be curious:

"Every actress asks for this?"

"Yes, every single one!"

I saw Da Mi Mi lying on the bar with a tangled face and complaining.
