Chapter 11: Immortals
"Li Mu, it's time to eat."
"Mom, don't serve me food, I ate a little too much in the afternoon."
In the evening, Liu Xiaohui asked Li Mu to eat, Li Mu said that he was not hungry and still came to the restaurant, and saw that there was tomato and egg drop soup tonight, which suited his taste, so he filled himself a bowl.
Li Yuansheng asked, "Did you go out to eat in the afternoon?" ”
Li Mu swallowed the soup in his mouth and said: "Huayi's Wang Zhonglei is here, for the sake of the role, Director Yan asked me to come over to meet, in addition to me, Director Yan, Wang Zhonglei, my uncle, Vice President of Xiyingsun, and Fan Binbin are also there. ”
"That Fan Binbin who played the golden lock?" Liu Xiaohui is still a fan of pearls, so she was surprised when she heard Fan Binbin's name.
"Well, she's not the right fit, though." Li Mu said.
Li Yuansheng said again: "Where is your film project going......
Before he finished speaking, Li Mu's mobile phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, and said, "Cheng Long's phone, I'll answer it." ”
After finishing speaking, he took his mobile phone to the balcony, Liu Xiaohui and Li Yuansheng glanced at each other, and then both smiled with complicated expressions.
Their son, the two of them are parents who are about to lose their acquaintance.
In the afternoon, I just finished eating with Wang Zhonglei and Fan Binbin, and received a call from Cheng Long in the evening.
After a while, Li Mu came back after answering the phone.
"By the way, Dad, you just asked me how far the movie went, right? Let's start preparing soon, just now Cheng Long called and said that "Mythology" is going to be completed, and the "Hurricane Rescue" project will start immediately. This time he is going to let Chen Musheng be the director, Cheng Long and Chen Musheng have cooperated in "Who Am I", and Cheng Long is very optimistic about this director. ”
"Mythology is about to finish? I remember that the movie was only a few days after it was launched, right? Li Yuansheng said in surprise.
Li Mu nodded and said: "It's been eighteen days since the start of the full fight, and it is expected to be completed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." The film is said to have been in preparation for three years, and the actual shooting has been less than 20 days, which feels a bit rushed. ”
What Li Mu didn't say was that the completion of 20 days was already slow, this was still a few days of delay in talking about the "Hurricane Rescue" project in Xijing, and in the original time and space, "Myth" was announced to be completed within fifteen days after it was launched.
Next, the family chatted while eating, and then Li Mu's mobile phone rang again.
"Dad, Mom, Director Yan's phone, I'll answer it."
As he spoke, he went to the balcony again.
Li Yuansheng and Liu Xiaohui glanced at each other again, and then both sides shook their heads in tacit understanding.
After a while, Li Mu came back after answering the phone again, and he sat down and said, "I have to go to the West Film Studio tomorrow morning, Chen Jinfei came, probably for the role." ”
"Who is Chen Jinfei?"
"A big boss, who develops real estate, is very rich, ranking more than 20 on the list of the richest people in the mainland. He has a goddaughter named Liu Yifei, who is the girl who plays Wang Yuyan in the new version of "Dragon Babu", and she also came this time. Chen Jinfei didn't know where to get the news, knowing that there was such a role, he wanted Liu Yifei to play the role of Cheng Long's daughter, but Director Yan felt that it was okay, mainly because Chen Jinfei was willing to spend money. ”
Li Yuansheng and Liu Xiaohui glanced at each other when they heard this, Liu Yifei is familiar with both girls, the 03 version of "Dragon Babu" quickly became popular all over the country as soon as it was broadcast, and there are still several stations on the air, Wang Yuyan's gentleness and purity in the play have left a very deep impression on the national audience.
"Dad, Mom, I'm done, I'll go back to the room first." At this time, Li Musan drank the soup in the bowl in two sips and got up and said.
Liu Xiaohui looked at the closed door, looked back at Li Yuansheng and said, "Some time ago, I wanted you to get your son to the museum, it's only been a few days, I'm about to lose sight of our son, I just finished having dinner with Fan Binbin today, and I'm going to see Liu Yifei tomorrow." ”
Li Yuansheng said: "The young man has ambitions, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. ”
"Bah, can you talk as a dad? This means that the ancestors have a spiritual benefit to their descendants. ”
……
The next morning, Li Mu took a taxi and went straight to the West Film Studio.
He is more familiar with Xiying than ordinary Xiying people, and the security guards and staff here also know him, he greeted the employees of Xiying along the way, and then went directly to the conference room on the second floor.
Before he came, he had just finished talking to his uncle Liu Xiaowu on the phone, so he knew that Director Yan and Chen Jinfei were both in the conference room on the second floor at the moment.
There was also a small reception room next to the conference room on the second floor, and when Li Mu passed by, he suddenly found a familiar figure, which was standing at the door of the reception room at the moment, and his eyes were looking in the direction of the conference room.
"Liu Yifei?"
"You are?"
"Li Mu."
"Are you an employee of the Western Film Studio?"
"Not really."
"You want to sign it?"
"Signing is fine."
"Okay?"
Liu Yifei thought for a while and said, "Then I know, you're also here to audition, right?" What role did you audition for? ”
Li Mu smiled: "Actually, I'm here to audition for others." ”
Liu Yifei didn't believe it and said, "Bragging, you're not a few years older than me." ”
Li Mu didn't explain, but continued to ask, "Why are you here alone?" ”
Liu Yifei frowned and said: "Godfather, my mother and Director Yan went to the conference room, they asked me to wait in the reception room, and I will go over after they have negotiated for a while." In fact, I know what they think, the godfather wants to invest money, and after investing money, I have a role, they don't want me to see the process of private transactions, in their eyes I am a child who doesn't understand anything. ”
Li Mu smiled: "It seems that you know very well, and you even know the ability to make money." ”
"Superpowers?"
"I'm talking about the banknotes."
Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and then sneered.
Seventeen-year-old Liu Yifei is at the peak of his appearance, and Liu Yifei at this time is really amazingly good-looking in Li Mu's eyes.
"Hey, you're really in charge of the audition?"
"Of course, I'm the screenwriter and assistant director you want to play this play."
"Do you think I'm a good fit?"
Saying that, Liu Yifei turned around in a circle.
After reading it, Li Mu said: "Suitable, the role is simply tailored for you." ”
"So you're going to pick me, right?"
"Not necessarily."
Liu Yifei said angrily: "But you just said that this role is tailor-made for me." ”
Li Mu said: "Suitable is appropriate, use is appropriate, two different things, there are more suitable actors in the world, but there are only so many roles." ”
"And who else do you think is suitable?"
Li Mu said: "Do you know Shu Song? ”
Liu Yifei said: "Of course I know, we are good girlfriends." ”
Li Mu said: "Shu Sing is the same age as you, both of you are of the right age, in terms of image and temperament, I personally think you are more suitable, you look a little cuter, so that the bad guys want to hurt hard when they see it, and the good people want to protect desperately when they see it." But in terms of acting skills, I think it's better to sing well. ”
Liu Yifei was a little unhappy and said, "Do you think my acting skills are very poor?" ”
Li Mu said: "With your current age, your current acting skills are not bad, and if you have a role bonus, it is still very classic, but if you still have this kind of acting skills in ten or twenty years, it will be a little embarrassing." ”
Liu Yifei snorted: "Don't worry, my target is Audrey Hepburn, and I won't stand still." ”
Li Mu said again: "This movie Cheng Long and Emperor Ying are also investors, I heard that Emperor Ying is in love with Huang Shengyi." Huang Shengyi participated in Chow Xingzhi's movie "Kung Fu" last year. This film participated in the Toronto Film Festival in September, I heard that the word of mouth exploded, and now insiders say that this movie will be the biggest dark horse this year, and wait for two months for this film to be officially released, and then Huang Shengyi will become famous all over the world at one time, and it is very possible to instantly become popular all over the country. ”
Liu Yifei stared at Li Mu's face for a while, and said, "You know so clearly, you won't really be the screenwriter and assistant director, right?" ”
Li Mudao: "Of course it's true, and the right to speak in this film is roughly divided into three parts - Western Film Studio, Yinghuang Chenglong, and me, two of which can set the role with the approval of the party, so do you really want this role?" ”
I don't know if Liu Yifei believes it or not, I just listened to her: "Of course I want to act, Cheng Long is a kung fu superstar, and Americans also like him, I want to be an international star, a star like Hepburn who has influence in the world, so of course I want to act in Cheng Long's movie, if you are really that good, then will you choose me?" ”
Li Mu sneered and joked: "It's okay to choose you, but there is one condition." ”
"On what terms?"
"You call me brother first, and if you call me brother, I will choose you."
Liu Yifei frowned and snorted: "I won't call it, I will believe you if you are the screenwriter and assistant director, I am not a child anymore, how can I be so easy to deceive." ”
Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei's wrinkled nose, and said in his heart: "No wonder Li Xiaoyao loves to shave Ling'er's nose in the fairy sword, such a cute little girl, who doesn't want to shave it when she sees it?" ”
