Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin were silent for a while, and then Han Sanping broke the silence with laughter: "Seventh in global film history, let's talk about it, how do you feel?" ”

"Well, it's okay." Li Mu said.

Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin both laughed, and Huang Jianxin said: "Listen to it, it's okay!" ”

Han Sanping took a deep breath, then patted his thigh and said: "It's really weird, the mentality of the parties is very stable, but our irrelevant blood is boiling; The young people are very stable, but we old men are excited. ”

Li Mu said: "How can such a big project of "Inception" achieve such great results without the full support of major companies such as China Film? This achievement was achieved by all of us working together, and China Film and Mr. Han cannot be said to be irrelevant in any case. ”

"You...... You...... Hahaha......" Han Sanping turned his head to look at Huang Jianxin while laughing, "I always feel that this kid doesn't look like a 25-year-old young man." ”

Huang Jianxin also smiled and said that he felt the same way.

Immediately afterwards, Han Sanping talked about the purpose of calling Li Mu and Huang Jianxin over today:

"This year is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the leader arranged for me to make a tribute film, and I want to hear the views of the two of you." Saying that, Han Sanping handed Li Mu a script.

Li Mu took it and flipped through it briefly, in fact, he knew that it must be "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" that didn't run.

"How's it going, how do you feel?"

Seeing Li Mu close the script, Han Sanping asked.

Li Mu thought for a while and said: "The biggest problem is that there are too many roles with names and surnames, there are more than 170, and the audition alone is a big project, even if there are only three or five actors auditioning for each role, it is still the workload of five or six hundred actors." ”

"And ......"

"And what?" Han Sanping asked again.

Li Mu said: "And with so many famous actors, normally the salary will be very high." ”

Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin glanced at each other, and then Han said, "Yes, you are on the point." With so many famous and surnamed characters, it really brought great difficulties to the preparation of the movie. But you can't help but make movies, you have experience in running a big crew, you are young, and your brain is alive, so Jianxin and I asked you to come over and discuss together. ”

Li Mu was a little hesitant, he knew how to solve this so-called difficulty, but at the same time, he knew that Han Sanping would come up with this plan if he had any advice.

As a result, Han Sanping could see at a glance that Li Mu seemed to have some ideas.

"Say whatever you want, Jianxin and I have been worried about this matter for the past two days."

Li Mu said: "Then just rely on your feelings to be an actor, and whoever you think can be on it." ”

"By feeling? Tell me about it! Han Sanping said again.

Li Mudao: "I'll give you an example, that is, if you feel that Mr. Zhang Guoli can play Lao Jiang, then use Mr. Zhang Guoli to play Lao Jiang; feels that director Feng Xiaogang can play Du Yuesheng, so use director Feng Xiaogang to play Du Yuesheng; felt that Brother Chen Kai looked like Feng Yuxiang, and it was easy to do, so he used Brother Chen Kai to play Feng Yuxiang; In the same way, Cheng Long, Li Lianlian, Ge You, Chen Daoming, Jiang Wen, etc., no matter how many roles there are, there are still more than our Chinese actors. ”

Boy!

According to this method, it is not easy to find actors without ten or eight hundred million funds!

In other words, the director of this movie that has made a $120 million cost is different, and this person has no smaller plan in his head!

But if you think about it carefully, more than 170 stars are gathered together, and most of the stars in the Chinese entertainment industry have jointly created such a movie, which is really exciting to think about.

Huang Jianxin thought for a moment and said: "According to this filming method, the actor's salary alone will be 800 million, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is not "Inception", and I can't afford to pay so much." ”

Li Mudao: "There are not many young roles in this script, the role of Kong Lingkan seems to be suitable for me, and I am willing to play it with zero pay." ”

After a while, Han Sanping said in a deep voice: "That's right, my mother celebrates her birthday, and it is right to be a child and offer filial piety, so how to talk about remuneration." But how did you come up with the idea of using Zhang Guoli to play Lao Jiang? ”

Li Mu smiled: "Intuition." ”

……

During the time when Li Mu was discussing "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" in China Film, the Chinese Internet was already completely boiling, discussing Li Mu, discussing "Inception", and discussing Li Mu's girlfriend seemed to have become a national carnival.

[$952 million, "Inception", a new benchmark for Chinese films! ] 】

[Li Mu's "Inception" entered the top 10 box office in global film history, and Asian films are the only ones on the list! ] 】

[The seventh in global film history, with a total box office of 6.5 billion yuan, a god-level movie that surpasses the national annual box office by itself!] 】

[How good is Director Li Mu? The foreigner theater was so excited that I cried when I watched it! 】

[Are the people who once swore that 120 million would lose money when making movies? ] Doesn't your face hurt? 】

[Suddenly super looking forward to Cheng Long, Yang Ziqiong, and Liu Yifei starring in "Doomsday Collapse", Li Mu's production must be a high-quality product! ] 】

After Li Mu came out of Zhongying, he drove directly to Liu Yifei's house, and answered more than a dozen phone calls halfway, all of which were scheduled for interviews. Li Mu declined most of the interviews, but also agreed to the invitations of several very large units.

When she came to Liu's house, she unexpectedly found that Liu Xiaoli was not there, and asked Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei said that it seemed that she had gone shopping, and then she was very excited and said that this time many netizens were praising her for her acting skills this time.

"Really? How do netizens praise you? ”

"Anyway...... Then you can see it yourself.,There are a lot of posts in the post bar that are saying.。 ”

Saying that, Liu Yifei handed the notebook to Li Mu and asked him to read the relevant posts in "Liu Yifei" by himself.

The two leaned on the sofa together, and the notebook was placed on Li Mu's lap, and both of them could see it. Liu Yifei leaned on Li Mu's left side of his arms, and Li Mu operated the computer with his right hand.

At present, Liu Yifei is extremely active, and several new posts have popped up in this little effort.

"Why hasn't Liu Yifei's stomach moved yet, it's really weird and anxious."

Liu Yifei was instinctively stunned when he saw this title, and at this time Li Mu had already opened the post.

"Liu Yifei and Li Mu have also been officially announced for a long time, right? And they must have lived together for a long time, everyone said why hasn't her stomach moved yet? Li Mu is the seventh in the top ten highest-grossing movies in the world, the box office of a movie is more than 60 billion yuan, and he is so handsome, if he doesn't hurry up and find a way to completely tie people to death, what if there are twists and turns in his feelings in the future? ”

After reading it, Li Mu said in Liu Yifei's ear: "This is what you said to praise your acting progress?" ”

Liu Yifei blushed: "You turn down, the netizens below are saying that my acting skills have improved." ”

Li Mu was not in a hurry at all, and saw that he was very happy to continue to read the other replies in this post.

"Maybe I don't want it for the time being, after all, the two of them are still so young."

"It's stupid not to want it, do you know how unreliable the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend is?"

"Give me a suggestion, although I know that it is impossible for Liu to read the post. Suggest that if she has no plans to have children for the time being, then change her mind as soon as possible; If you have an idea but can't get pregnant, it is recommended to put a pillow under your butt and raise it a little more afterwards. ”

"The pillow is ineffective, and it is recommended to stand upside down for 20 minutes afterwards."

Li Mu suddenly turned his head at this time and said to Liu Yifei with a serious face: "Did you see it?" You're going to do a handstand afterwards, and next time you're going to do it! ”

Liu Yifei's face was flushed and hot, she didn't speak, she just drilled her head straight into Li Mu's arms, and said that she wouldn't read the post anymore.

After a while, Li Mu suddenly said: "Don't say it, some people are really praising your acting skills." ”

Liu Yifei looked at the screen again suspiciously, only to see that it was written on the page: "The best scene Liu Yifei has performed since his debut is the kiss scene at the door of the hotel, the kiss between the two can be called full of chemistry, love love!" And it's not me who blows, there are not many actors in the entertainment industry who can kiss the kiss scene out of this kind of chemistry! ”

A netizen replied: "Is it possible, I mean, the chemistry between these two people is not actually acted?" ”

Some netizens also coaxed: "If anyone invests $120 million to make a movie for me and lets me play the heroine, then I must have a chemical reaction to him." ”

……

In the next few days, Li Mu sorted out several tasks he had to do this year.

First and foremost, of course, the most important job is to continue to keep an eye on the post-production of "Gravity", and at the same time keep an eye on the schedule of "Avatar".

The second is the schedule of "Doomsday Collapse", and the key point is one: it must be released before "2012".

The third is that he will continue to publish books this year, such as "Source Code", "Ring Messenger", "Shocking Demon Thieves" and other works.

You don't necessarily have to shoot it yourself, but you must occupy the pit in advance.

In addition, the last few parts like "Moving Labyrinth" and "Divergent" also have to take the time to write, and if you don't shoot them, you can sell them at a good price.

Last year, "Twilight" sold $480 million at the global box office, and the value of the rights to Li Mu's "The Hunger Games", "Moving Maze", "Divergent" and other similar ones is also soaring.

The fourth is to go to the United States this year to shoot "Manchester by the Sea", which may take several months.

The fifth is that the company will shoot two TV series this year - "Latent" and "Celebrating More Than Years", the latter is prepared for Liu Yifei.

In fact, Li Mu also felt that there was no need to let Liu Yifei act in a TV series again, but "Celebrating More Than Years" is a project that has been set a long time ago, and it should be filmed or filmed.

The sixth is to take the time to play a cameo role in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

……

The preparation for the filming of the TV series "Latent" was quickly put on the agenda, and this time Li Mu directly reported a long list and asked his assistant Chen Zhixi to notify the actors to come to audition according to this list.

Director Li Mu's company is going to make a TV series!

The news is still very exciting.

Who is Director Li Mu? That's a top international director comparable to Spielberg and James Cameron!

The box office of a movie is the seventh in the world's film history, how much is the box office? 952 million, still dollars!

Don't be too crazy, CCTV alone has broadcast relevant content no less than ten times in the past few days, not to mention people in the entertainment industry, even old men and old ladies in the countryside, they all know that Huaxia has produced a very powerful director.

However, these had little to do with the actors in the mixed TV circle before, after all, there was not much intersection between the two sides at all, and everyone was shocked when they saw the relevant news.

After sighing, what should I do!

You can't let an international director suddenly come and ask us to act as a small TV drama actor who is not famous, right?

And that's how things went.

Sun Honglei is better, when he played "Super Body" for Li Mu, he heard Li Mu say that he planned to ask him to act in a TV series, and he was mentally prepared in advance.

But Yao Chen was directly stunned when he received the call.

"What do you say? Director Li Mu invited me to audition? Or the heroine? ”

"Is there any mistake?"

She was surprised, her agent was even more surprised than her, she really couldn't understand how Director Li Mu took a fancy to Yao Chen.

Yao Chen doesn't care, people have played the well-known "Wulin Gaiden", but the other actors are completely different.

For example, Feng Enhe who plays the stationmaster, Zu Feng who plays Li Ya, Cao Bingkun who plays Xie Ruolin, and Zhu Jie who plays Mu Wanqiu - what are the fames of these people? Not to mention the international director Li Mu, how many people in the TV industry know these actors?

But Director Li Mu knew!

I heard that Director Li Mu personally named them to audition for Huashang Media, Director Li Mu, you actually know me?

These actors, without exception, all have a feeling of flattery.

It's the feeling of being suddenly hit by great happiness.

And after the excitement and happiness, these actors began to be very apprehensive in their hearts.

There are some things that are gone without them, but if they are lost again, it will be even more uncomfortable.

As a result, Director Li Mu's operation surprised everyone again.

"Coming? It's a supporting role, the role is okay, is it acting? ”

"Acting ......"

"Okay, let's go next door and sign the contract!"

……

Basically, it's all about the above process.

What's going on?

Normally, shouldn't it be to go back and wait for the notification? just glanced at it casually, didn't even let a line try, and it was settled?

Cao Bingkun, who got the role of Xie Ruolin, even said to Beiying's teacher like this:

"Director Li Mu didn't even look up at me at all, I pushed the door in, Director Li Mu was looking down at the information, teacher, you know me, this is the first time I have received an audition invitation, and I still came up...... It's Li Mu, the world's top director, I was a little nervous when I walked, I was so nervous, no matter how I kept telling myself not to be nervous, not to be nervous, it was useless, because I was so nervous, I stuttered in the first sentence after entering the door. ”

"That's what I said: 'Guide...... Director, I'm Cao Bingkun, I'm here to ...... Audition. "Teacher, you don't know, I wanted to slap myself in the mouth, and I said that I must have messed it up this time, but guess what, teacher?" ”

"Director Li Mu didn't even raise his head, so he asked: 'Xie Ruolin, a supporting role, is it very important, is it acting?' Of course I said, 'Act! Director Li said: Then go next door and sign the contract! ’”

"That's it. If I didn't know what Director Li Mu looked like, I would even suspect that I met a liar this time! ”

Cao Bingkun's teacher was also puzzled when he heard this, how could there be such a casting?

Yao Chen is the same, before he met and talked for three sentences, he directly asked if he wanted to act, he knew whether it was the script written by Director Li Mu himself, or the heroine, of course Yao Chen said that he would act, and then Li Mu immediately arranged to sign the contract.

Yao Chen has never seen such an efficient audition.

However, after Yao Chen signed the contract, she found Li Mu again, and she wanted to recommend someone to Li Mu.

"Director Li, do we have any supporting roles in this play that have not yet been decided? There are not too many scenes. ”

Li Mu asked, "What, do you have a candidate to recommend?" ”

Yao Chen nodded and said: "I know an actor with very good acting skills, he is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, he has served as a teacher in Beiying, graduated first in his professional name, and the directors who have worked with him have not praised his good acting skills." ”

Li Mu said: "The relatively important roles have already been selected. ”

Yao Chen said: "You don't need too important roles, it's such a director, what about him, although his acting skills are very good, although the directors he has worked with say that he plays very well, but few people ask him to act." ”

Li Mu raised his head and said, "You can't be talking about Zhang Songwen, right?" ”

Yao Chen was surprised: "Director Li, do you know Zhang Songwen? ”

Li Mu nodded and said: "I've heard that in this way, there is also a role of an underworld gangster in the play, the role is okay, you inform him to try it." ”

Yao Chen was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Director Li." ”

……

When Zhang Songwen received Yao Chen's call, he was lying on the bed in the rental house looking at the ceiling in a daze.

"Songwen, what are you doing?"

"Staying at home."

"In this way, you will come to Huashang Media immediately, there is a role here, you can try it."

Zhang Songwen was in good spirits all of a sudden.

"Auditions? Okay, good - Huashang Media? Director Li Mu's company? ”

"That's right, let me tell you, Director Li Mu knows about you, and as soon as I mentioned that there is an actor with good acting skills, he immediately said your name."

"Really?" Zhang Songwen couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true, but there may not be too many scenes in this role, but the script is a script written by Director Li Mu himself."

"Okay, I'll be right there."
