During the promotion of "Send You a Little Red Flower", Li Mu took the time to care about the "Detective Chinatown" project.

The first film of the "Detective Chinatown" series was released at the end of 2015, and of course this time and space must be advanced, and if Huashang wants to hold this series of films in his hands, he must start the project before Chen Sicheng.

Maybe Chen Sicheng already has the prototype of such a story in his mind, maybe he didn't actually start thinking about it, but these are not important, Chen Sicheng does not have the ability to complete the script independently, he occasionally has some genius ideas, but to turn these ideas into a mature script that can be filmed, you must seek the help of other professional screenwriters.

Therefore, whether it is "Beijing City Love Story" or "Detective Chinatown", Chen Sicheng has fought a lawsuit with the screenwriter, so what Huashang has to do is to start the project before Chen Sicheng finds other screenwriters to help.

At present, Chen Sicheng is not the contracted director of Huashang Media, but has his own director studio, Huashang and Chen Sicheng's studio belong to a cooperative relationship, and the two cross-sharehold each other, of course, Chen holds very little of Huashang's shares, and Huashang's shares hold Chen's shares to reach a 30% ratio.

Of course, the "Detective Chinatown" series will still be directed by Chen Sicheng, but the series itself belongs to Huashang.

Li Mu arranged for his assistant Liang Bing to bring the script from the screenwriting department, and after briefly flipping through it, he told Liang Bing to call Chen Sicheng over.

……

Jingshi, Guangqu Jinmao Mansion.

Chen Sicheng's mansion.

Chen Sicheng was lying on the big bed on all fours, and Cao Xiwen was walking around in front of Chen wearing a wide T-shirt with only the upper half of her body.

The two had a good relationship for several years, and then Chen Sicheng had a new goal, that is, Tong Liya, so the two broke up, and then the new target was not chased, and the two hooked up together unconsciously.

Cao Xiwen saw that Chen Sicheng finally woke up, so she walked over and sat on the edge of the big bed.

"Still figuring out the script? What do you think of that script? ”

Chen Sicheng put his hands under his head, revealing his squeaky socket, he glanced at the roof and said: "My brain has been messed up recently, I don't have any ideas, but I definitely don't want to continue to engage in the theme of youth love, "33 Days of Broken Love", "Beijing Meets Seattle", "Time and Space Love Traveler", "Living Together in Time and Space" - there are too many movies of youth love in Huashang, and the quality is still good, and continuing to engage in this kind of theme is at most at the same level as these directors, if I want to do it, few people can do it, such as suspense, That's what I'm capable of. ”

Cao Xiwen tapped his chest and said, "It's really good at bragging, you just said that these movies are rare masterpieces, and it's really not something that anyone can shoot if they want to." ”

Chen Sicheng said: "Don't underestimate me, let me tell you, I, Chen Sicheng, are destined to be the most successful director in the country except Li Mu in the future." ”

Cao Xiwen also went to bed and lay on the side, and said with a smile: "Even if you are a little sensible, you didn't say that you will be better than Director Li Mu in the future." ”

Chen Sicheng hugged the person in his arms and said with a smile: "Do you know why I am so confident?" Because I found out very early on that I actually had a relationship with Li Mu. ”

"Got a heart?" Cao Xiwen raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Sicheng.

Chen Sicheng also noticed that it seemed a little awkward to use this word to describe him and Li Mu, so he corrected: "It's heart-to-heart...... Heart...... Tacit...... Mind to heart...... coincides, yes, I have long found out that I and Li Mu and Li always coincide. ”

Cao Xiwen looked at Chen Sicheng with a smile.

Chen Sicheng continued: "At the beginning, I found Mr. Li with the script of the TV series "Beijing City Love Story", but Mr. Li flipped through the script, and then immediately proposed several revisions, guess what? These places turned out to be a little awkward but I just didn't know how to change them, but Mr. Li thought of me at just a glance, this is a coincidence! Later, when I made the movie "Beijing City Love Story", Mr. Li could always think of some of my vague and unformed ideas in advance. ”

"At that time, I knew that as long as my brain turned a little faster, then the gap between me and Mr. Li would be narrowed a little bit, and as long as my brain was a little faster, then I would have a chance to reach Mr. Li's level."

Cao Xiwen looked at the man who was hugging her with a little admiration, and thought: "I can always think of it with Director Li Mu, I really didn't see the wrong person, this man is indeed talented and has an unlimited future, but he is not as dedicated as Director Li Mu, if he hadn't chased Tong Liya this time, he wouldn't have come back to me again, hey!" Sometimes I really don't want to pay attention to him, there are talents and talents, and the heart of the flower is also the heart of the flower. ”

Chen Sicheng looked at the woman in his arms who was full of admiration, but his heart suddenly chuckled.

"Director Li Mu can always think of some of my vague thoughts in advance, so am I not - I have been living in the shadow of Director Li Mu?"

Chen Sicheng suddenly sat up from the bed, and this sudden big movement startled Cao Xiwen.

"What's wrong with you?" Cao asked.

"Huh? It's okay! Chen lay back on the bed again, and at the same time thought to himself, "This time I want to make suspense, I want the protagonist to solve the case, and the subject matter may not be easy to pass the trial - but it doesn't matter, don't the movies directed by Li Mu often set the background abroad?" That's the way the 'Embarrassment' series is, so I can do the same! Li Mu won't think of me again this time, right? ”

Chen Sicheng hugged Cao Xiwen's arm and tightened it again, and coaxed in his mouth: "When I get the new movie out, the role of the heroine will be yours." ”

Cao Xiwen didn't speak, but hugged Chen's arm and tightened it.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

Chen Sicheng reached out and grabbed the vibrating mobile phone on the bedside table, glanced at the caller number, and made a silent gesture to Cao Xiwen.

It was the phone number of Li Mu's assistant Liang Bing.

Cao nodded.

Chen Sicheng pressed the connect button.

"Hey, hello, Assistant Liang."

"Hello, Director Chen, that's the case, Mr. Li asked you to come to Huashang, when do you think it's convenient?"

"It's convenient, I'm here at any time, does Assistant Liang know what Director Chen is looking for me?"

"I really don't know very much about this, maybe it has something to do with the new movie."

……

made an appointment and hung up the phone, Cao Xiwen asked, "Wouldn't it be that Director Li has any good scripts in his hand to hand over to you to direct?" ”

Chen Sicheng nodded: "It's possible, I'll go to Huashang in the afternoon, if the script is okay, I'll reluctantly accept it, if the script is average, I'll push it in person, and go back and continue to think about my suspense script." ”

Cao Xiwen knew that Chen was talking big, but she didn't debunk it, Huashang's script, how could he just push it? But she still couldn't help but remind the man seriously: "Huashang's script, Mr. Li is looking for you personally, you must not push it, how many people can't ask for this kind of opportunity." ”

……

Afternoon.

Huashang Media, Chairman's Office.

After Chen Sicheng arrived, Li Mu got straight to the point and said: "I came to you this time, because I wanted to give you a script to direct." ”

Chen Sicheng said with a look of surprise: "Mr. Li, don't worry, since you can afford me Chen Sicheng, I Chen Sicheng will never let you down, after the script is handed over to me, Mr. Li will wait to count the money!" This is the new script on Mr. Li's desktop? ”

Chen Sicheng glanced at it and saw the new script on the corner of Li Mu's desk.

Li Mu picked up the script and handed it to Chen Sicheng: "The theme of this time is still quite a big change from the past, but I believe that with your ability, there will be no problem." ”

"What subject?" Chen asked.

Li Mu said: "Suspense, crime-solving, better movies with this kind of theme are still relatively lacking on the market, and now Huashang has as few as six or seven films a year, and more than a dozen films to be released, that is, any niche theme must be tried, otherwise there are too many single themes, and the audience will inevitably be aesthetically fatigued." ”

Chen Sicheng chuckled again when he heard this, just like when he was in bed this morning.

I didn't expect Mr. Li to ask him to make a suspense movie, he just realized in the morning that he had been living in the shadow of Mr. Li, and now he felt even deeper, he just wanted to shoot suspense, but Mr. Li just asked him to shoot suspense!

Fortunately, he doesn't just want to shoot suspense, he also wants to incorporate a little bit of comedy elements, after all, the huge success of the "Embarrassment" series is there, if Chinese movies want to be small and big, if they want to eat all ages, it is best to engage in a little comedy element.

"That's right." At this time, Li Mu added, "In addition to suspense, the new movie also has a considerable proportion of comedy elements, suspense + comedy, which is both innovative and guaranteed at the box office." ”

"Suspense? + Comedy? ”

Chen Sicheng chuckled, grunted, grunted, and continued to go on.

"Mr. Li, I can ......," he said, looking at the script on the desk.

Li Mu nodded.

Chen Sicheng sat on the sofa in the office with the script, and then quickly flipped through it.

the talented police academy failed to stammering the teenager "Qin Feng"; is known as the "No. 1 Detective in Chinatown", but in fact he is "Tang Ren" who is an "obscene" uncle; Chinatown's No. 1 Beauty Boss Ah Xiang; There's also Thailand's Chinatown, which is a mix of fish.

The new script is not only suspenseful, but also adds comedy elements, not only adds comedy elements, but also places the story in a foreign country - these piles and pieces, aren't they all the key points that he Chen Sicheng has vaguely grasped? Why is it ...... again?

Chen Sicheng raised his head slightly and looked at Li Mu, he actually had a good idea with Mr. Li again-no, it coincided. If it was before, he might still be complacent about being able to coincide with Li Mu and Li Dao, but since this morning, he suddenly realized......

Now he only feels that he is living in the shadow of Mr. Li!

So the question is, does he want to take this script?

Actually, of course you have to pick it up!

A script written into his heart, how can he not accept it, and now he is more confident in this story, he used to only think that he was the only one who was optimistic about this kind of theme, but now he suddenly found that even Director Li is optimistic about similar stories, so the box office prospects of this story are of course broader.

Chen Sicheng closed the script and said: "I took the new script, but who is the actor?" ”

Li Mudao: "If you make a suggestion, the company will make a decision, and when the opinions are disagreed, the company's opinions should prevail." ”

Chen Sicheng thought of what he had just promised Cao Xiwen in the morning, and said: "The heroine's role doesn't seem to be very heavy. ”

Li Mu nodded: "Typical vase role." ”

Chen Sicheng's mind is active, if the role of the heroine is very heavy, there are so many signed artists in Huashang, it will definitely not be an outsider's turn to play, but since the role is not very heavy.

"Mr. Li, what do you think of Cao Xiwen?"

Li Mu said: "Your girlfriend, right?" It's beautiful, you kid has a vision, but the company still hopes to leave it inside. ”

"Who?"

"Tong Liya."

……

When he left Huashang, Chen Sicheng still felt a toothache.

Of course Tong Liya is very beautiful, of course she is more beautiful than Cao Xiwen, and of course she is quite suitable for Ah Xiang's role, of course he knows all this, but what can she do if she doesn't look down on herself?

From the TV version of "Beijing City Love Story" to the movie version, the two have spent so much time working together, and they have been chasing her for so long, but they are just indifferent! Okay, he gave up, you are one of the five golden flowers of Huashang, I am a little director, we can't climb high, we can't climb high, we can't climb the head office, right? There are good-looking women in the world! But it's a bit embarrassing to always have to work together if you can't catch up.

As soon as the movie starts, it will take at least another month to cooperate, in short, it is uncomfortable.

"No, I still have to fight again, Cao Xiwen is very good, strive to replace Tong Liya and replace Cao on it!"

……

Launching the "Detective Chinatown" project this year is not a particularly big decision for Huashang, but it is likely to change many people's lives.

is like Pan Yueming.

Last year, Lao Pan and his ex-wife had a lot of trouble, and they were also labeled as bad gambling, domestic violence, cheating, and a series of bad labels after a car accident.

Since then, it will be extremely difficult for Lao Pan to take over the drama again.

The original time and space will not wait until the release of "Detective Chinatown" in 2015 for Pan Yueming to return to the public eye with his wonderful performance as the role of "adoptive father", which will usher in a turning point in his career.

However, now that Huashang Media has decided to start the "Detective Chinatown" project about two years earlier than the original time and space, Pan Yueming will naturally be able to get out of the trough of his career earlier.

Moreover, compared with the low-key appearance of "Detective Chinatown" in the previous life, in this life, the famous Huashang Media invited him to join, and this information alone is enough to reverse many people's views of Lao Pan.

Nowadays, Huashang Media's status in the entertainment industry is not trivial, and Huashang Media invites controversial characters with word-of-mouth to act, which itself has the meaning of being strong, and the people who want to support Huashang Media will naturally have many people to support it.

Speaking of which, Lao Pan's agent at this time should have been Chen Zhixi, but Chen Zhixi had been absorbed into Huashang Media by Li Mu a long time ago, and there was no such intersection between the two.

Since "Detective Chinatown" still wants to invite Lao Pan to star, and since inviting Lao Pan will definitely be labeled as supporting Lao Pan, why didn't Li Mu simply send Buddha to the West?

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Mu asked the assistant Liang Bing Pan Yueming's agent phone number, and bluntly said that he would invite Lao Pan to play the role.

"I made a note of the chairman, and I will contact him when I have time." Liang Bingdao.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Give me the contact information, I will call this phone in person." ”

Liang Bing was stunned, the chairman personally called Pan Yueming's agent? This identity is not equal at all?!

However, the boss told Liang Bing to do it.

After Li Mu got the number, he dialed it directly with a phone call.

The other end of the line was quickly connected.

"Hey." Across from him was a male voice, and it sounded like he was a little tired.

"Hey, I'm Li Mu, it's Pan Yueming's agent, right? I have a role here. ”

"Hello Mr. Li, which film and television drama are you the producer? Now Mr. Pan just has a schedule, why don't we make an appointment to talk in detail? To tell you the truth, as soon as you signed up, I suddenly chuckled in my heart, good guy, it turned out to be the same name as Chairman Li Mu Li of Huashang Media, it really scared me to death, I thought Director Li personally asked Lao Pan to play the role, haha, sorry, I was a little excited to talk nonsense. ”

Li Mu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I am Li Mu, Li Mu of Huashang Media!" ”
