The manuscript was sent out, and he didn't know when he would get feedback, Li Mu was also idle at this time, he was thinking about whether he wanted to write a new novel, and then he received a call from Yan Yiyun, the director of the Western Film Studio.

"Screenwriter Li, Wang Zhonglei of Huayi Brothers, Mr. Wang is coming to Xijing, let's have a meal together in the afternoon."

"For the heroine of "Hurricane Rescue"?"

"What else?"

"Who did he bring?"

"Fan Binbin."

"Not suitable, right?"

"Let's talk about the wine bureau, people have come all the way to Xijing, and the West Film Studio should also do its best to be a landlord."

"Got it."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was still the hotel where Cheng Long was staying, Li Mu met Wang Zhonglei, Fan Binbin and his party, in addition to Yan Yiyun, director of Yan, vice president of Xiying Sun Yi'an, and the rest were Li Mu and his uncle Liu Xiaowu.

Director Yan asked for a private room, and after everyone arrived, Director Yan Yiyun was responsible for the introduction.

"Mr. Wang, Binbin, Vice President Sun Yi'an of Western Film Group, everyone knows each other, so I won't introduce too much. Next to Mr. Sun is Li Mu, the screenwriter of "Hurricane Rescue", who is also the assistant director of the movie; Next to Li Mu is Liu Xiaowu, the editor of the West Film Studio. ”

"Screenwriter Li and Xiaowu, these two must know without my introduction, this is the famous Huayi Brothers' Wang Zhonglei Wang Zong, next to Mr. Wang is Fan Binbin, Binbin is currently the hottest actress in China, don't say you two don't know."

"Yes, yes."

"Thunder."

Everyone shook hands with each other and then sat down one by one.

Li Mu looked at Fan Binbin opposite from time to time, the 23-year-old Fan Binbin has completely faded from the immaturity in "Huanzhu Gege", and now she is smiling, all revealing a mature charm.

Anyway, Li Mu thinks she is very beautiful, and she is even despised because of this.

The scenario looks like this:

"Which actress do you think is the best-looking in China?"

"It's best to look at it, don't dare to say, each has its own merits."

"What about Fan Binbin?"

"It's beautiful."

"You even think Fan Binbin is beautiful? I've heard a lot of people say she's beautiful, but why can't I tell how beautiful she is? ”

Wang Zhonglei and Fan Binbin were obviously rushing to Cheng Long's new movie, so soon everyone turned the topic to "Hurricane Rescue".

Wang Zhonglei said: "In the current domestic film market, if you want to make money, you have to make blockbusters and make big productions, low-cost films can't let the audience enter the theater, blockbusters can stimulate the enthusiasm of the audience, and the movie "Hero" is a living example in this regard. ”

"If you want to make a blockbuster, you have to invite big-name actors and superstars, and if you can take the box office at this stage, you have to be a Hong Kong and Taiwan star. The actor of "Hurricane Rescue" is Cheng Long, and the appeal is definitely enough, since the actor is an international superstar like Cheng Long, of course, the heroine can't be too bad. ”

Saying that, he looked at Fan Binbin next to him and continued: "The actor has decided to use a Hong Kong and Taiwan superstar, and the heroine will invite a domestic actress as usual." When it comes to well-known domestic actresses, whether it is acting skills or fame, Binbin is definitely the number one. ”

"Two "Huanzhu Gege", one "Youth Bao Qingtian 2", one "The Dust Settles", by the way, and "Mobile Phone" released last year, this movie was the box office champion last year, and Binbin's acting skills in it have been unanimously recognized in China."

"Binbin won the 27th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award this year with the movie "Mobile Phone", nominated for Best Actress, and the Hundred Flowers Award will be announced in ten days, the probability of Binbin winning the award is extremely high, and it is not wrong to say that it is a certainty, so it is definitely a good choice for Binbin to play the heroine of this play."

When Wang Zhonglei talked about Fan Binbin, Fan Binbin stood up with a smile and nodded to everyone, but the smile was more for Director Yan Yiyun Yan, Vice President Sun Yi'an, and had little to do with Li Mu and his uncle Liu Xiaowu.

Xiying and Huayi Brothers have a good relationship, and last year, the two joined forces with Xijing Mingle Culture Communication Company to jointly establish Xiying Huayi Film Distribution Co., Ltd., which is also the reason why Huayi can quickly grasp the news of "Hurricane Rescue".

However, although Xiying and Huayi have joined forces as early as last year, it does not mean that Xiying will really fully confess to Huayi.

At least it won't take the initiative to blow itself up.

What is Home Short?

is that Xiying has obviously invested half of the funds, but the right to speak does not exactly match the amount of capital contribution.

Nominally, the final cutting right belongs to Xiying, and Xiying does not lose money, but in fact, the final cutting right is agreed to be given to Liu Xiaowu, and Liu Xiaowu is the uncle of screenwriter Li Mu.

Although Liu Xiaowu is an employee of Xiying, Director Yan has reason to believe that when Xiying Studio and Li Mu disagree, Liu Xiaowu will never stand on the side of Xiying.

Wang Zhonglei and Fan Binbin don't understand the stakes involved, so they naturally regard Yan Yiyun as the clapper who can decide the heroine, at least one of them.

As for Li Mu, a screenwriter with the name of an assistant director, and another editor, the two are just tools for Director Wei Yan.

After listening to this, Yan Yiyun turned his gaze to Li Mu and said with a smile: "When it comes to the choice of the female lead, let's listen to the screenwriter's opinion." ”

Yan Yiyun felt that Fan Binbin was not a suitable candidate, but he couldn't help but consider Li Mu's opinion, according to the agreement between Xiying and Cheng Long, Yang Zhicheng, and Li Mu, the male protagonist is Cheng Long, and the other roles will be determined by the three parties through joint negotiation, and when there is a difference in the role, two of them can approve it, that is to say, if the hostess can be approved by both Xiying and Li Mu, it can be approved with a high probability.

So the ball was kicked to Li Mu's feet.

As for Li Mu, of course he didn't want to use Fan Binbin, for no other reason, he felt that she was not suitable purely from the perspective of movies.

It stands to reason that Chinese people pay attention to being sharp and introverted, but Li Mu thinks that no one in the circle knows him at all now, in other words, he doesn't even have a sharp edge, so what is still restrained?

Ms. Fan plays the heroine...... Square peg. Li Mu shook his head and said directly.

"Why?" Wang Zhonglei was surprised.

"I'm older."

"Old?"

"You say Binbin is old?"

"Binbin is just 23 years old this year!"

Wang Zhonglei was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but repeat it twice.

"But this role is set as a minor, because it is a minor, so the protagonist will resolutely oppose his daughter and girlfriend going abroad to play, this is one of the main conflicts between their father and daughter, if it is replaced by an adult, then the old father resolutely opposes his daughter to play abroad, it seems that the protagonist is too controlling."

Wang Zhonglei looked at Yan Yiyun and said, "Director Yan, what is acting?" I think that an 18-year-old can play a 38-year-old role, and a 38-year-old can play an 18-year-old role, which is called acting. Many movies go from the protagonist being young to becoming a bad old man, but you can't really wait for decades for the actors to continue filming when they get old, right? ”

"Besides, Binbin is not very old, it's no problem to play 23 and 17 years old, even if there is a problem, can't you still change the script?"

Screenwriters have always been at the bottom of the food chain in the circle.

A work with an investment of 60 million, co-funded by Emperor Yinghuang of Western Film, starring kung fu superstar Cheng Long, such a big project, when will it be the screenwriter's turn to point the fingers? The key to this matter still falls on Director Yan Yiyun and Cheng Long and Emperor Ying.

Yan Yiyun replied at this time: "According to the contract, the revision of the script must be approved by Screenwriter Li. ”

Wang Zhonglei and Fan Binbin suddenly realized that this Li Mu seemed to be more than just a tool man.

"I don't know which actor screenwriter Li likes? Huayi is also a bit influential in the circle, do you need us to help build a bridge? ”

"The candidates also need Xiying, Cheng Long, Yinghuang, and all parties involved to negotiate and decide, and I don't have a special favorite candidate for the time being." The choice of the hostess is not decided by Li Muneng in one word, since it can't be decided, there is no need to express his position easily.

"Screenwriter Li is not from Xiying?"

"Xiying is my mother's family, my uncle is a senior editor of Xiying, and he is also the internal editor of this "Hurricane Rescue".

After speaking, Li Mu looked at his uncle Liu Xiaowu.

Liu Xiaowu nodded to Wang Zhonglei: "Mr. Wang, Li Mu often followed me to the West Film Studio to play when he was a child, although he is not a formal employee of the West Film Studio, but when it comes to the familiarity with the West Film Studio, I am afraid that many real West Film employees are not as good as him." ”

Wang Zhonglei realized more deeply again that the screenwriter Li Mu in front of him seemed to be more important than he just thought.

After the wine party, Wang Zhonglei asked Director Yan Yiyun privately what was going on with this Li Mu and what was the origin. Yan Yiyun was ambiguous, but Wang Zhonglei still heard the slightly embarrassing situation of Western Film Studio in this cooperation.

Besides, Miss Fan Binbin, Miss Fan has always been smiling during the whole drinking game, but after returning to the room after the wine party, she immediately couldn't hold back, and her face instantly became extremely cold.

According to internal information, she is the queen of this year's Hundred Flowers Award, and now within Huayi, Li Lianhua can compete with her, but when the Hundred Flowers Award is announced in ten days, she may not be able to suppress Li Lianhua.

Now is the time when she is full of pride, but that Li Mu actually said to her face that she is old.

It's just unbearable!

How old is she this year?

She's only 23 years old!

Where is she old?

Being disliked at the age of 23?

It just doesn't make sense!
