Before the official large-scale release of "Time and Space Love Traveler", some people said that it was worth 9 points, but at that time, many people didn't believe it, thinking that this was the excessive praise of Huashang fans, and as a result, the Douban score was freshly released at noon on February 14, and the score of "Time and Space Love Traveler" was 9.1 points.

After the film was officially released on a large scale, many male audiences were dragged into the theater by their girlfriends or daughters-in-law, and many of them were very uninterested in romance films. It is true that the film is a romance film, but there is not only love in the film, but also some insights about life and time, which makes people fall into it.

On the Internet, comments about the film exploded.

"For the people we love the most, we don't say forever, we only say cherish. I almost cried in the cinema. ”

"It's strange that the superpower of going back to the past has taught us to move forward without looking back."

This is Li Mu, the tip of his pen is like a stick in the hands of an orchestra conductor, and at the snap of his fingers, our laughter and tears are completely out of control. Every soundtrack, every piece of dialogue, is so tugging at the heartstrings. ”

……

On the day of the release of "Time and Space Traveler", Li Mu met Director Zheng Xiaolong in the office, and the purpose of his invitation to Director Zheng this time was naturally for the company's next key project "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Director Zheng Xiaolong was very surprised to suddenly receive Li Mu's invitation, although Director Zheng had heard of Li Mu's name for a long time, the two had not had much intersection before, and after learning the purpose of Li Mu's invitation to him, Director Zheng Xiaolong instinctively wanted to refuse.

At this time, Zheng Xiaolong has been a famous director for many years, and he has many classic TV series such as "Golden Wedding", "Desire", and "Beijing People in New York", the reason why he doesn't want to take on the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is more because he has never filmed a costume drama before, and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" happens to be a costume drama.

And "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is not just a costume drama, this is also a palace fight drama about the emperor and his concubines.

The court, scenes, and characters involved in this are all very complex and rich, and director Zheng Xiaolong felt that it would be extremely difficult to shoot.

But these are not the fundamental reasons why Director Zheng is reluctant to take over this drama.

From the short exchange just now, Director Zheng Xiaolong already knows that most of the roles in this drama have actually been decided in advance. As a well-known director who has been famous for many years, Zheng Xiaolong will definitely have his own understanding of the script and characters in the play that he will shoot, and a scene where he can't choose roles at all will definitely not be very interesting to film.

From Li Mu's point of view, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in his previous life is classic enough, and now he really doesn't need to make major changes. Moreover, the relevant roles in his previous life were personally set by Bruce Cheng himself, so Li Mu believes that the candidates selected by him will definitely meet the requirements of director Bruce Cheng, even if Director Zheng will feel inappropriate at first impression, he will reverse his previous views after the official audition.

is like the role of Concubine Hua in the play.

The original time and space of this role Director Zheng Xiaolong's original favorite candidate is definitely not Jiang Xin, Jiang Xin's first impression of Zheng Xiaolong is inconsistent with Concubine Hua's amazing favorite concubine character, and thanks to Jiang Xin's newborn calf's character of not afraid of tigers, under her repeated insistence and request, Director Zheng Xiaolong finally gave her a chance to audition, but I didn't expect Jiang Xin to audition after changing into costumes, and immediately compared Director Zheng's original favorite candidate, which led to the classic image of Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

"Director Zheng, don't worry about casting, we Huashang have always respected the opinions of the director and the original author, although I will determine most of the actors in the contract, but in actual operation, what is not agreed upon, everyone will discuss everything."

Zheng Xiaolong smiled: "Why do I sound so familiar with Mr. Li's words?" Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" seems to have said to Kong Jie like this, usually the head of the regiment is not the head of the regiment, everyone discusses everything, but as soon as the guns and cannons sound, the whole regiment has to listen to Li Yunlong. ”

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh, and said: "You better take a look at the script first, I believe in the word fate very much, if Director Zheng really has a fate with this play, then I believe that Director Zheng will definitely feel it after reading the script." ”

Zheng Xiaolong nodded secretly, and then took the script from Li Mu's hand.

Huashang Media values the script so much, Zheng Xiaolong can't help but be a little curious in his heart. And to be so valued by Li Mu, to be honest, anyone is also a little proud and proud in his heart.

Of course, I can't take a closer look at the limited time, but I saw Director Zheng Xiaolong briefly flipping through the script, and then looked up and said to Li Mu:

"I like the script very much, and I also have no opinion on the vast majority of actor candidates being made by Mr. Li, but there is one rule, the choice of the actor must be decided by me."

"Let's talk about it first!"

Zheng Xiaolong has watched "Step by Step" and "Palace Lock Heart Jade" produced by Huashang Media, and the male protagonists of the two Qing palace dramas are all super handsome guys without exception, and this has set the tone of romance in these two dramas from the beginning.

Zheng Xiaolong has a good impression of the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but he definitely doesn't want to make the drama into a romance drama like "Step by Step", so is there a simple way to avoid making it into a romance drama or idol drama?

Of course.

Just don't choose a handsome guy like Nie Yuan, the actor in "Step by Step", to be the hero.

As long as he can set the male protagonist of this drama, then he can determine the general tone of this drama, so that even if Hua Shang and Li Mu determine all the rest of the actors of this drama, the general tone of the drama is still under his control.

So who is the first choice of Yongzheng in Zheng Xiaolong's mind at this moment?

His friend Chen Jianbin - a candidate that Li Mu and Hua Shang would not agree to 99%.

In other words, if Li Mu can even agree to this, then what if all the other female characters can't be the masters themselves?

The TV series in which Chen Jianbin plays the leading role is not a traditional romance drama in any way.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Li will not agree to my candidate."

"If Director Zheng doesn't say it, how do you know that I won't agree?"

"Okay, I'll just say it directly, the actor in my heart is actually Chen Jianbin, I don't know what Mr. Li thinks?"

"Chen Jianbin?"

"Yes, as long as Mr. Li can promise me to use Chen Jianbin as the leading actor, then I will take this play."

"This ......"

"As long as Mr. Li agrees to this candidate, I can ignore the other roles."

Li Mu stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Zheng Xiaolong shook hands with Li Mu with a little stunned on his face and asked, "Mr. Li, did you agree?" ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "I just said, what is agreed or not, as long as you discuss it, Chen Jianbin's acting skills are good, there must be no problem with me, it depends on whether he is willing to accept this play." ”

"I'll tell him there!"

……

The box office of "Time and Space Traveler" was 83 million yuan on the first day and 75.97 million yuan on the second day, and the box office performance was good, but it was not too amazing.

On the third day of the film's release, Li Mu came to a hotel in Beijing to participate in the finale banquet of the TV series "Shanshan is Coming".

In fact, "Shanshan is Coming" is not the highlight of Huashang Media, generally speaking, this level of drama is completed, even if the finale banquet is held in Beijing, Li Mu generally will not participate, the reason for making an exception this time is actually a little related to the "Legend of Zhen Huan" project that Huashang is about to launch.

The supporting actresses in "Shanshan is Coming" include Jiang Xin, Mao Xiaotong, Tan Songyun and Lan Yingying, and these people all happened to have played the supporting roles in the original "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

For Li Mu's sudden arrival at the finale banquet, the actors and field staff of "Shanshan is Coming" were all surprised, and then everyone unconsciously set their eyes on Zhao Liying.

Everyone knows that Zhao Liying has been running tricks in Huayi Brothers for several years, and she has not been able to stand out during this period, until she and Huayi Brothers did not renew the contract until the expiration of her contract with Huayi Brothers, but joined Huashang Media, and as a result, she was immediately designated by the boss Li Muqin as one of the new four little flowers in the Chinese entertainment industry.

"33 Days of Broken Love" won a box office of more than 700 million with a production cost of less than 10 million, and Zhao Liying also directly became one of the quasi-first-line flowers.

Li Mu's attention to Zhao Liying can be seen as long as people with long eyes can see it.

To say that this kind of attention before is quite reasonable, for example, Mr. Li also attaches great importance to Tong Liya, and let her star in "Living Together in Time and Space"; Mr. Li also attaches great importance to Bai Bing, from "Myth" to "Time and Space Traveler" to "20 Years Old Again", these are the key projects of Huashang Media.

In addition, Mr. Li also attaches great importance to Yang Mi, from "Beijing City Love Story" to "Palace Lock Heart Jade", and then to "Shark Beach" - these examples seem to show that Mr. Li does value Zhao Liying, but this value does not seem to significantly exceed the importance of Tong Liya, Yang Mi and Bai Bing.

But now, Li Mu actually came to participate in the finale banquet of "Shanshan is Coming" in person, which seems to be a bit beyond the previous specifications.

"Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to come in person!"

"Director Li is good!"

"Director!"

Everyone has how to call it, but although the names are different, the longing on everyone's face is almost the same.

A lonely and unknown entertainment industry is a little transparent, as long as it can be valued by Mr. Li like Zhao Liying, Tong Liya, Bai Bing and others, it is basically equivalent to flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix.

So now that I finally have the opportunity to show my face in front of Mr. Li, how can everyone be indifferent?

"Look, I said that "Shanshan is Coming" must be a first-class and key TV series of Huashang Media, how about it? Now even Mr. Li has arrived in person. ”

"Jiang Xin is right, "Shanshan is Coming" is of course a first-class key project of Huashang."

"Mr. Li, do you know me?"

"Of course, I have seen Mu Wanqing played by you in "Dragon Babu", and Fang Yingyu in "Detective Di Renjie". You've played a lot of classic roles, and of course I know that. Also, your current female supporting role was actually made by me personally, don't you know? ”

"I've heard of it, but I can't believe that Mr. Li really knows me."

"Beautiful and good at acting, of course I know a treasure actor like you."

The atmosphere of small talk was good, and Jiang Xin saw that Li Mu seemed to be very approachable, so he immediately hit the snake and went to the pole.

"Although I know that Mr. Li just said it casually, I am still very happy."

"How could it be said casually?"

"If I didn't say it casually, if Mr. Li really valued me so much, then why didn't I see you and arrange a very, very important role for me."

"Who says no? Now Huashang Media just has a very, very important drama in preparation, and there happens to be a very important character in it, and I really plan to let you try it this time. ”

"Really? Mr. Li is not joking? ”

"Of course it's true, what's there to make of this kind of joke."

It's terrible, seeing that Jiang Xin got a seemingly very important role in a few words, so what are you waiting for?

She will be coquettish, won't others be able to?

"Mr. Li, do you know me?"

"Of course, you're Tan Songyun."

"You really know!"

"Of course I do, but you probably don't, do you? In fact, your current supporting role was also set by me. ”

"That'...... What about the very, very important drama you just mentioned, Mr. Li? ”

"If you're interested, I'll also give you a role, but it's not as heavy as Jiang Xin's role."

"It's okay, it's okay, the supporting role is also done."

And then there's Lan Yingying.

"Mr. Li."

The first play Lan Yingying participated in was "Shanshan is Coming", she really didn't have any fame in the entertainment industry, so how could Li Mu know about her?

So she didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Lan Yingying, you say!"

"Mr. Li, do you know me?"

"I've read your information, you're a graduate of the 08 undergraduate class of Central Opera, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"There's also a supporting role in the show I'm talking about......"

"I'll act!"

Seeing that everyone who came forward to talk to him had got the role, Mao Xiaotong was naturally not to be outdone.

"Mr. Li."

After saying this "Mr. Li", Mao Xiaotong couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, it is said that Mr. Li even knows Lan Yingying, who has only acted in the play "Shanshan is Coming", so there is no reason to know himself, a senior actor who has played two or three small supporting roles, right?

But will they really know each other?

Will one of the world's top three directors really know himself?

"You are Mao Xiaotong!"

"Uh-huh-hmm......"

Mao Xiaotong nodded again and again.

Mr. Li really knows her!

Mao Xiaotong's excited face turned a little red.

At this time, I saw Li Mu snort in his mouth and said, "Today is February 16th, according to your resume, it seems that today is still your birthday, right?" Although we Chinese people have always celebrated lunar birthdays, the birthday of the solar calendar is also a birthday after all, and I am here today to wish you a happy birthday. ”

"Xiaotong is your birthday today?"

"Look, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Everyone on the side, you say a word, I say a word.

Mao Xiaotong was a little embarrassed and said: "It's not a lunar birthday, so it's ......"

Mao Xiaotong was amazed.

Mr. Li even knew about her little transparent birthday!

Mao Xiaotong's development in the original time and space is not bad, at least it is higher than Li Mu's status in the circle in the original time and space, Li Mu has read Mao Xiaotong's encyclopedia information in the original time and space, plus he has the golden finger of super memory, so he naturally knows Mao Xiaotong's birthday in the solar calendar.

In fact, don't say it's just a solar birthday, even if today is really Mao Xiaotong's lunar birthday, she won't tell anyone else, there is no other reason, just because she is still just a little transparent who has only played two or three roles.

A small transparent birthday, who cares if you just say it?

It's just that I didn't expect the dignified Mr. Li and Director Li Da to remember her little transparent information so clearly.

Originally, she had little confidence in her future, but this moment was suddenly different.

Just because Director Li Mu understands her so clearly, she believes that she will definitely be able to break out of her own world in the future entertainment industry in the future.

"The play I just told them about also has a role that suits you well, but it's just a supporting role."

"Thank you Li for giving me this opportunity!"
