A private room at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Beijing.

Li Mu, Li Lianhua and Li Xuehua were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be chatting very speculatively.

"In my opinion, it's good for everyone to go to my office to talk, or find a random café or tea room, it's a bit too much trouble to come to the hotel for dinner." Li Mu said with emotion.

Li Lianhua said with a smile: "Last time, Director Li supported me to play the fox, I haven't thanked Director Li properly, the role of the fox is too important to me, and I can't thank Director Li enough." ”

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "What to talk about thank you or not, the key is that you are indeed suitable for this role, and the success of the movie "Assassin" is also inseparable from your wonderful interpretation of the role of the fox. ”

Li Lianhua said with a smile: "Sure enough, the more capable people are, the more humble they are." ”

Li Mu smiled and shook his head.

Li Lianhua asked again: "Director Li, I just recently read the script of your new movie "Super Body", and I like it very much after reading it, Director Li, what do you think of me?" ”

Li Mu took a bite of food and said: "After "Assassin", you are very popular in the West, this is your biggest advantage, "Super Body" aims at the global market, and it is impossible for the protagonist to be selected without considering the recognition of foreign audiences. ”

"That's not right." Li Lianhua suddenly laughed.

"Isn't that right?"

"That's right." Li Lianhua said with a smile, "My biggest advantage is that I have a good relationship with Director Li, we have cooperated before, how am I a person, how is my acting skills, what is my personality, what is my temperament, Director Li understands, and this is my biggest advantage." ”

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, what Li Lianhua said is really that reasonable, most directors do prefer actors they are familiar with when selecting actors, especially those who have worked with them before.

Li Xuehua said at this time: "Director Li, my sister really likes the script of "Super Body" very much, and the two of us asked Li to come out this time, one is to thank Director Li for supporting my sister to play the role of the fox before; Second, it is also for Mao Sui's self-recommendation, my sister reads the script very seriously, Director Li, you might as well test my sister's understanding of the script on the spot. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "I can't talk about the exam, but it's okay for everyone to discuss and discuss together." ”

Li Mu paused as he spoke, and then continued: "After the heroine Lucy has developed her brain to eighty or ninety percent, she is almost omnipotent, and can even directly transcend the shackles of time and space, go to the distant past, and directly watch the whole picture of the birth of the universe, but she just let the gangsters who had hurt her continue to run rampant, and did not choose to give priority to these people, what does Sister Lotus think about this?" ”

Li Lianhua thought for a moment and said, "Lucy's time is not enough, and these people have become insignificant in Lucy's eyes. The heroine told Dr. Norman that after her brain was developed to 28%, she began to gradually lose everything such as pain, fear, and desire, and she felt that she was losing all her humanity. ”

"According to the setting in the movie, cells will choose to reproduce when the environment is superior, and choose self-evolution and immortality when the environment is bad."

"Each of Lucy's cells has its own autonomous consciousness, and human food can no longer meet the energy needs of Lucy's cells, so Lucy's cells begin to tend to break free from the constraints of Lucy's body and seek their own development, which is why Lucy finds herself flying around like sand when she is on the plane. That was to say, Lucy's time was running out, and she knew that very well, so she didn't have time to deal with those people. ”

"And she had lost all her pain, her fears, her desires, but the professor told her that the essence of life is to share and pass on what she has learned, so in Lucy's eyes after this, everything else is insignificant except for sharing everything she knows."

……

At the same time when Li Mu and Li Lianhua sisters were eating, actor Sun Honglei fell into a tangle.

When a director as big as Li Mu invited him to act, his first reaction must have been excitement and excitement, but when he learned about the role he was going to play, he couldn't help but feel a little entangled.

Li Mu invited him to play an underworld role this time, he can play the underworld role, and he is handy, netizens even ridiculed him for playing this kind of role, he just needs to play a little bit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is acting in his true colors.

But he really doesn't really want to play this kind of role, how do you say that?

It seems like since you played an eggplant, all the purple has come to you since then.

He wanted to try a variety of roles instead of just playing certain types of roles.

"Do you want an excuse to push it off?" Sun Honglei's agent asked after seeing him so entangled.

"This play - we're going to take it." Sun Honglei was still a little entangled, but as soon as he heard that the agent said that the trick was pushed, he immediately objected.

"Li Mu is the most prosperous director in China, take over this play, leave a good impression on him, and when he has a good role in the future, he may think of me, in short, I must take this play."

"Then I'll contact Director Li tomorrow." The agent said again.

Sun Honglei nodded when he heard this.

……

The next morning, Li Mu's office.

Manager Liu Siying came over to report to Li Mu.

"Sun Honglei's agent has called to agree to the invitation, and we have already agreed to sign the contract."

Li Mu nodded.

And when it comes to Sun Honglei and Li Mu, he thinks of "Latent", and when he thinks of "Latent", he thinks of the novel of the same name written by Long Yi.

The original novel of "Latent" seems to be only 10,000 words, and the publication time is this year, maybe the company should buy the copyright of the novel, he probably doesn't have time to shoot it himself, but he can find other directors to shoot it.

"Latent" is a TV series that he liked very much in his previous life, and turning it into his own company's work can greatly satisfy Li Mu's vanity.

"Liang Jiahui has agreed to play the role of the police boss with a salary of 6 million, and I will contact him to sign a contract in a few days."

Li Mu nodded, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Liang Jiahui's salary was much lower than that of Cheng Long and Li Lian.

"Morgan Freeman has agreed to play the role of Dr. Norman, and after negotiations with several companies such as Western Film, Bernard, Huayi, China Film, etc., we finally reached an agreement on the share of capital contribution and dividend ratio, the "Super Body" project is invested by us Huashang 45% of the funds, but to occupy 60% of the income rights, and the remaining 55% of the funds are jointly responsible for several other companies, and these companies will share the remaining 40% of the income rights."

Li Mu nodded.

The specific investment and dividend equity ratio is the same Liu Siying is responsible for the discussion, Li Mu is only responsible for the general direction, "Super Body" is written and directed by Li Mu himself, he is the core of the project, so take a little more dividend rights, several other companies have no opinions, and even this proposal itself is put forward by several other companies.

"Li Lianhua will play the heroine, and several other companies have no opinion, after "Assassin", Li Lianhua is very popular in the West, and several companies believe that her playing the heroine can maximize the success of the film in the global market."

Li Mu nodded.

The actors are basically decided, and the crew still uses the old team of Li Mu's last play, mainly the employees of the West Film Studio, so far the preparation of the movie is almost ready.
