At this time, the auditions were basically some newcomers or second-tier artists, so Lin Mu still did not pass anyone.

Whether it is a Hong Kong and Taiwan artist or a mainland artist, none of them passed.

However, this attitude makes all investors feel more at ease, and they feel that Lin Mu is indeed striving for excellence.

It's just that everyone is a little absent-minded at this time, obviously knowing the news that Jet Li wants to participate in the movie.

They naturally know that Jet Li's coffee position can only play the leading role, but what does this have to do with them?

The person in charge of the movie is Lin Mu, and the protagonist is also Lin Mu.

If you can act, you must take the position of Lin Mu's protagonist, even if you can't act, Lin Mu can also guarantee the box office.

This kind of drama of two tigers fighting each other is definitely what they want to see.

The day's audition ended again, and Lin Mu was about to go back, when a staff member came to invite Lin Mu, saying that Han San had something to talk to Lin Mu.

Come to the office.

Han San first asked about the progress of the audition before mentioning the matter of Jet Li.

Lin Mu didn't hide it, he directly expressed his concerns, and even instigated Han San to persuade Li Lianjie to let him play a supporting role.

After all, Ma San's role is also very outstanding, although he lost in the end, he left an absolutely deep impression on the audience!

And with the joining of Li Lianjie, Lin Mu can better guarantee the box office results this time.

Although the box office share this time is relatively small, the cost is not self-explanatory, so with this opportunity to make more money, Lin Mu will definitely not let it go.

After listening to Lin Mu's words, Han San smiled: "It's not impossible, but you also know that when he reaches his status, it is impossible to be a match." ”

"The third master will definitely be able to do it!" Lin Mu praised Han San as usual.

Han San shook his head: "It's not the same, to be honest, he can be regarded as a business card of Huaguo in the international market now, it's impossible for me to say anything." ”

"What does the third master mean?" Lin Mu also came back to his senses.

Han San smiled: "If you don't concentrate on directing this time, you will always be distracted if you direct and act." ”

Lin Mu understood as soon as he heard it, this was to let himself let the protagonist out.

His eyes suddenly narrowed: "Third Master, this is to let me concentrate on directing and let Li Lianjie play the leading role, right?" ”

"Division of labor and cooperation." Han San's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

In fact, Lin Mu doesn't care much about whether he plays the protagonist or not.

The main thing is that the salary of the leading actor cannot be missing.

Before Lin Mu took two shares of money in the crew, one for the starring role and one for the director, plus dividends.

If you want to cut his starring role this time, won't the money be less!

And Li Lianjie's salary is not low at all.

The mainland box office of "Huo Yuanjia" stopped at 300 million, but the box office of Jet Li alone will be 120 million!

Lin Mu didn't dare to take so much, the salary he set for himself was only about 10 million, and the total remuneration of the director was only 30 million!

Although there are dividends in the follow-up, this price is already outrageous.

He didn't take much money when he filmed "The Wind", and now Jet Li is going to take all the funds as soon as he comes, how can this Lin Mu agree.

"Third master, Li Lianjie's salary is not low, our investment is a little unsupportable." Lin Mu snorted haha.

Han San said with a smile: "Don't worry about the funds, it's a big deal to let the people on Hong Kong Island add money, as much as they add, China Film will add as much as they want, you two are strong together, the more you invest, the more you earn." ”

"That's not what I said, after all, it's a movie, and I haven't worked with anyone before, so maybe I won't get along." Lin Mu didn't finish his words.

Seeing that Lin Mu seemed a little resistant, Han San quietly changed the topic and continued to talk about casting.

Lin Mu also had a ride and chatted with him at this time.

Han San saw that Lin Mu didn't tell the truth, so he simply let Lin Mu go first.

"Okay, third master, then I'll go back first, you communicate with Brother Li, I'm looking forward to cooperating with him."

"Go ahead, I'll talk to him."

Lin Mu turned around and walked out of the office, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

This old fox! I'm planning to make myself a day job!

And Han San is also pulling his face, this kid is a little too greedy.

……

The meeting between the two this time can be regarded as an unhappy parting.

Some gossip also began to circulate in China Film.

But everyone didn't care, after all, it was not their turn to worry about the affairs of the upper echelons.

It's just that when Lin Mu didn't show up in the audition room the next day, everyone was dumbfounded.

Wang Lei hurriedly called Lin Mu and waited for a long time, but he didn't know a word from Master Liu.

"What don't you know? Aren't you Director Lin's assistant? Why don't you even know where Director Lin went?! ”

Master Liu replied: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I really don't know where Director Lin went, when he went out in the morning, he said that he forgot to take something, let me go back to the hotel to get it, and when I come out again, Director Lin will be gone." ”

"He's got a phone on him, right? You give me his personal contact information. ”

"That, I hit him and didn't answer."

"Just give it to me!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, Director Lin won't let me give it to others."

"I ......"

When Wang Lei heard this, he almost knew that Lin Mu was doing it on purpose, and he didn't embarrass Master Liu, so he hung up the phone and went to find Han San.

And Master Liu looked at Lin Mu helplessly: "Boss, is it okay to say that?" ”

Lin Mu walked around the courtyard he had just bought, feeling the quaint atmosphere of a local tyrant, and said without looking back: "It's okay, isn't this movie still filming?" There is no hurry. ”

Since the script was not in place before, the cooperation between them has not even signed a contract, it is a verbal agreement, and Lin Mu will naturally not let anyone handle it.

What about Han San?

Before, he didn't dare to offend Han San because he had no way out, but now that he crossed the river and demolished the bridge first, Lin Mu felt that he was just absenteeism and already gave him face.

Master Liu didn't know what was going on, but he knew from Wang Lei's tone that things were not simple.

But what can she do? She is just an assistant, what Lin Mu says is what she is, can she still influence Lin Mu's decision?

When Lin Mu disappeared for a day, Zhongying and the people on Hong Kong Island still had no reaction, after all, it was common for Lin Mu to be willful.

But when Lin Mu still didn't show up the next day, someone began to mumble in their hearts.

Wang Lei had no choice but to find an excuse to appease the people on Hong Kong Island first, and seize the time to find Lin Mu.

But Lin Mu was like disappearing, Wang Lei searched all over Yan Kyoto and there was no news of Lin Mu.

It was Wang Lei who realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to find Han San.

At this time, the news of Lin Mu's disappearance could no longer be hidden.

Even rumors began to appear on the Internet that this co-production was going to be stillborn!

Han San finally couldn't sit still anymore and called Lin Mu's phone call.

Liu Shishi picked up Lin Mu's rhetoric and still couldn't find it.

However, how could Han San be fooled, and said coldly: "Lin Mu, I know you can hear it, I will wait for you in Zhongying tomorrow." ”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Master Liu looked at Lin Mu and was at a loss.
