Chapter 266: The box office is out
When Lin Mu went to the northeast, Zhao Shan had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as the two met, Zhao Shan greeted him very excitedly, Lin Mu, this kid is definitely interesting!
Now that the situation in "The Grandmaster" is so tense, he actually didn't follow the crew but ran over to help him.
Don't care if you helped Lin Mu before, just Lin Mu came over this time, and he definitely can carry it!
Even he couldn't figure it out, how could such a good guy get into trouble with people wherever he went?
Zhao Shan's side has almost prepared, venues, photography, and most importantly, funds.
It's just that the cost of "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" this time is not much, which makes Zhao Shan still a little regretful.
But it doesn't matter, a small cost is a small cost, anyway, Lin Mu has not used a small cost to win a high box office before.
And this movie doesn't look like a high box office, and word of mouth is still the most important thing at present.
Since he came to the Northeast, Lin Mu was also ready for filming, rejected Zhao Shan's proposal to rest for two days, and started casting directly at the reception banquet.
Due to the subject matter, many people are not interested in watching "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots", but in fact, this movie was originally co-produced by Hong Kong Island and Zhao Shan.
The characters in it are basically big names in the industry.
Xia Yu, Wu Ma, Liao Fan, Sun Haiying, Hu Jun, just take one out and everyone has excellent acting skills!
But now that Lin Mu is in trouble with Hong Kong Island, it is basically impossible to invite artists from Hong Kong Island again.
Even if Zhao Shan went to invite him personally, it was unlikely, this was a circle problem, and it was not something that Zhao Shan could solve with his face.
Lin Mu didn't copy the meaning of the original version, and directly asked Zhao Shan to call his apprentices over.
When Zhao Shan wanted to ask Lin Mu to make a movie before, Lin Mu had already suggested to him that his apprentices should learn to act.
It doesn't matter if it's effective or not, but at least people really want to learn acting.
And Xiao Shen Yang's performance in "The Grandmaster" also made the brothers jealous.
After all, it is a person who is mixed up by various conferences, and his vision is naturally not high, and it is normal to be jealous and disdainful.
Lin Mu estimated that Zhao Shan also knew the virtues of his apprentices, so he only picked a few more honest apprentices and started cultivating, and the others were completely natural.
"Let's arrange the roles first, and we'll see what roles you like as apprentices, and we can audition first." Lin Mu said while eating.
Zhao Shan beckoned people to pick up the script: "No need for casting this time?" ”
"Choose." Lin Mu smiled: "You don't think I'm going to release water to your apprentice, right?" I'm very strict with this, if you get brushed off, don't hate me. ”
The last sentence Lin Mu said to Zhao Shan's apprentices.
Don't look at these apprentices are all respectful now, and those who run away in a few years are not uncommon to stab Zhao Shan with their backhands.
Now that Zhao Shan can still hold it down, he is naturally safe and sound, but in the future, Zhao Shan has some accidents, and these people may have to turn over old accounts.
The apprentices didn't speak, just waiting for Zhao Shan's arrangement.
"So let's get started? Do you have any roles you want to play? Zhao Shan looked at the apprentices.
Xiao Shen Yang raised his hand: "I want to play a corpse." ”
"Go!" Zhao Shan scolded with a smile: "The age is wrong!" ”
In fact, today's choices are still a bit few, and Lao Zhao has only accepted the fourth batch of apprentices now.
Like Wen Song in the future, Song Xiaofeng and others have not yet started.
No, Cheng Ye, Lu Yao, Wang Xiaoli, Wang Xiaobao and others are all there, but there is nothing they can do, and the acting skills of several people are not bad, but the style is a little fixed.
The style of the duo is too obvious, even after a period of acting training, it can't be corrected.
Lin Mu had a headache when he saw it, although a reception banquet was lively, but none of the roles were decided.
After the reception banquet was over, Lin Mu didn't leave in a hurry, first let the apprentices disperse, and then took Lin Mu to his conference room.
Set aside the tea tray, and Lao Zhao made tea himself.
"I'm relieved that the movie has you." Lao Zhao is not in a hurry, he knows Lin Mu's level.
At that time, when filming, Lin Mu even tortured him, and it was normal to ask for a high point.
That is, he knows what level Lin Mu is, and he knows that his apprentices are not favored by Lin Mu and Zhao Shan.
Lin Mu nodded the table and said, "Teacher Zhao, your apprentices are a little late. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Shan nodded, "There's no way, the two of them transferred to school, and I'm afraid I'll forget my old job if I leave home to learn acting halfway." ”
"Then why don't you just shoot this little thing about the Northeast?" Lin Mu began to come up with ideas again.
Zhao Shan laughed suddenly, "How do you know that I have this plan?!" ”
Then Zhao Shan pulled Lin Mu and told him his idea of filming a TV series in the Northeast countryside.
This also made Lin Mu glad that he didn't take out the "Country Love" series.
Now Zhao Shan is estimated to be preparing for the TV series, and it is estimated that even the script has been written, if he takes it out recklessly, then Zhao Shan must not think that he stole his things.
Zhao Shan also had the idea of watching Lin Mu's "Struggle".
The movie is definitely advanced, and they can't play it yet, but the TV series is not so exquisite.
Isn't "Struggle" the story of a group of young people struggling in Yanjing?
Then he just filmed a story of struggle in the countryside of Northeast China!
You don't have to think about going out of the Northeast for this TV series, just broadcast it in the Northeast!
With an idea in mind, I naturally wanted to discuss it with Lin Mu, a professional.
This conversation went straight to late at night.
Lin Mu is also a little difficult, after all, although the TV series of "Country Love" series is famous, he really hasn't watched it!
I only know that this TV series has been filmed for more than ten seasons, and I heard that the ratings are very popular in the Northeast!
The actor has also acted for more than ten or twenty years, and it is completely an iconic product of the Northeast.
But fortunately, although Lin Mu doesn't remember the specific plot, it's okay to give some suggestions from other aspects.
After all, he had an impression in his heart, no matter what he said, he could say that Zhao Shan's heart was on the road.
"Brother! I used to hear people say that you are talented, I believed it, but now I know that you are talented, you are an all-rounder! The more Zhao Shan chatted, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to let Lin Mu apprentice on the spot.
But then I thought about it, although Ren Lin Mu is a little turbulent now, his status in the film industry is much higher than himself, and this apprenticeship is really inappropriate.
Lin Mu yawned: "Okay, Mr. Zhao, if you start filming this TV series, I will ask someone from my company to come over to help, let's solve the movie first." ”
Zhao Shan slapped his thigh, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot." ”
The two talked happily in the Northeast, but some people couldn't sleep in Yanjing.
The box office of "The Grandmaster" came out the next day!
