Some time ago, when discussing in China Film, Han Dong proposed that this time he would choose another mature director, as compensation, Li Mu could write a relatively important role in the script for himself, and now that the script is finished, Li Mu did not arrange such a role for himself, so he must fight for the director of "Assassin".

So he immediately started writing storyboards.

has the directing skills of his previous life, plus the lens of the original movie as a reference, the storyboard script he wrote is naturally very top-notch.

He is ready to use this storyboard script to prove that he is fully capable of being a good director, if someone disagrees, he might as well write a storyboard script, and then everyone will put the two scripts together and compare them.

While writing the storyboard, he also found time to deal with the matter of "Hypnosis Master".

Now that he has decided to direct this "Assassin", he naturally has no energy to shoot "Hypnosis Master" in person, fortunately, it is a small-budget movie, and the script is quite solid, no matter who is found to shoot it, it will not be a problem of losing money and earning more and earning less.

There are actually a lot of tool directors in the circle who have this ability but have few opportunities, and Li Mu is worried about not finding a high-level one.

In addition, he also preliminarily decided the starring role of "Hypnosis Master".

The male protagonist decided to use Shen Teng, the male protagonist's wife used Mary, the female protagonist Song Qi had already been decided, and the heroine's ex-husband could just go to Nortel or Chinese opera to pick a junior or senior student, anyway, there are not many scenes.

The reason why the male protagonist did not choose Xu Zheng is actually to avoid copyright disputes similar to "People in Embarrassment" and "Thai Embarrassment".

On the third day after writing the script, Li Mu received a call from Cheng Long.

"I've already read the script."

"What does Uncle Long think?"

"How? What did you say when you were filming "Hurricane Rescue"? ”

Li Mu was confused by the second monk who said it.

"When you were filming 'Hurricane Rescue'?"

Cheng Long said: "At that time, you said that Cheng Long's movies had gone crookedly, and the more you pay attention to action in the later stage, the more you despise the shaping of characters." also said that the audience would be excited to see Cheng Long jump from the second floor at first, then he would jump to the fifth floor, then he would jump to the twenty-seventh floor, and finally he would jump down from space. At that time, you said that as I got older, it was impossible to satisfy the audience's higher and higher excitement, but what is the result now? ”

"Your Assassin is so exaggerated that it explodes! I've never made such an exaggerated movie, dozens of stories high, jumping directly from here to there, driving the car to take off and turning 1,200 degrees in the air, and then simply driving the car to the speeding train, and even the bullet can turn - tell me yourself, are you constantly pushing up the excitement of the audience this time? ”

Li Mu: "Uh......"

Cheng Long suddenly laughed and said: "But I think this movie is really enjoyable, the scene with Li Lian in the train car is very exciting, the fly in the ointment is that there are many more gunfight scenes than kung fu fighting scenes, I have a proposal here, that is, to add a little more empty-handed duel between me and Li Lian, of course, this is my personal opinion." ”

Li Mu directly agreed: "Okay, the selling point of this movie is the duel between Cheng Long and Li Lian, the two kung fu superstars, the two of you are naturally the top priority, and everyone will discuss it after the official start of filming, and we will listen to whoever says it makes sense." ”

"Okay, OK."

……

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu shook his head and smiled.

Then after another half a day, Li Mu suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number, but as soon as the number was connected, he immediately heard the other party's voice.

"Are you Teacher Li Lian?"

"I'm Li Lian."

"Hello Mr. Li, you called this time, have you already read the script I wrote?"

"Yes, I've already read the script, and I've read it three times."

"What does Mr. Li think of this script?"

"It's very good, it's very powerful, that's what I imagined the script to be."

"That's good, that's good." Li Mu said with a long breath.

Li Lian said: "After reading the script, I have an idea and want to discuss it with you. ”

"Teacher Li, you say, I'll listen." Li Mu said.

Li Lianlian organized the language and said: "In the scene between me and Cheng Long in the script, there are more shootouts than kung fu duels, so can we add a little more fighting?" It's like the scene on the train, in fact, it is completely possible to arrange a hand-to-hand combat between the two in a small space. ”

"That's what happened!" Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.

"Is there any difficulty?" Li Lian asked.

Li Mu said: "There is no difficulty, but Cheng Long just called me today, and he just happened to be talking about this matter, this time you two kung fu superstars really want to go together." ”

"So that's it, okay, let's meet and talk again, I'll go to Beijing in a few days."

"That's good."

……

Three days later.

Li Mu, Li Lianlian, Cheng Long, Yan Yiyun, Yu Dong, Wang Zhonglei and several others appeared in China Film again, but this time the meeting place was selected in a conference room in China Film.

There were more people coming this time, and it was a little crowded to meet in Han Dong's office again.

As usual, they greeted each other, and then quickly talked about the new script.

The first to speak this time was Cheng Long.

"I read this script very well, compared to "Hurricane Rescue", this one is undoubtedly bigger and the plot is more exciting, just reading the script makes me feel very enjoyable, this is the kind of movie I have always wanted to make."

Next up is the Lee link.

"I feel the same as Brother Cheng Long, this script is of a very high level, and it must be very in line with the taste of the audience in the international market, and the domestic audience should also love to watch it, it seems that my previous intuition is not wrong at all, this time I found Li Mu to be the screenwriter, and I really found the right person."

Seeing that the two kung fu superstars all agreed with the script, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed, which meant that the project was basically completed, so everyone smiled and expressed their opinions.

Han Sanping said with a smile: "Li Mu, Li Mu, you said that you were asked to write a script at that time, and you were in a lot of difficulty, dancing with shackles, and dancing with five flowers, what happened?" Ten days! Just ten days! You wrote the script, not only did you write it, but you also got the approval of the two kung fu superstars for the first time! I said, why did you pretend to look so much like that? Hahaha, I've seen a lot of people over the years, but I didn't expect to be almost blinded by you this time, and I can't hide it here, hahaha. ”

Yu Dong also smiled: "What Han Dong said is so right, just say me, when I heard Li Mu's difficulties, I felt that this project must be out of play, but it turned out that he was good, and he wrote the script in only ten days, and the level of the key script is still so high!" Where do you want people to reason? ”

Wang Zhonglei said with a smile: "In the future, everyone will find Director Li to write the script, and then you don't have to care what he says, in short, you just think that he will be able to write it." ”

Yan Yiyun quipped: "It's too much, according to what Mr. Wang said, you ask Li Mu to write a script tomorrow that can win the Palme d'Or Best Picture and the Oscar for Best Picture, and you have to insist that he can write it no matter what he says?" ”

Wang Zhonglei said with a smile: "Alas, Director Yan, you are really right this time, I really think he can write this kind of script." ”

After saying that, everyone laughed together.

Then Wang Zhonglei turned his head to look at Li Mu and smiled: "How is it, Director Li?" Now that the words have come to this, why don't Director Li write two scripts that can win the Palme d'Or and the Oscar after a while? ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was so lively, Li Mu did not hesitate at all, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Isn't it the Palme d'Or and the Oscars, everyone waits, I have to rush for these two awards after a while." ”

As soon as these words came out, the conference room burst into laughter.

"Hahaha......"

"Yes, young people just have to be ambitious!"

"Hahaha, Director Li is really vibrant!"

Li Mu also smiled: "Hahaha, all the bosses are laughing, big talk, big talk......"

After saying that, everyone laughed again.
