Chapter 98 The Method of Stealing the Key
In the next few days, Li Mu first sent the manuscript of "The Maze Runner" to Qin Li's editor, and then began to plan the next stage of the company's tasks.

The production cycle of "Inception" is as long as one and a half years. If the company does not start other projects, then the company will have no movies to release in the next 08.

So Li Mu decided to start another film with small and medium investment.

After some thought, he finally set his sights on an RB movie.

It is said to be an RB movie, but in fact, the Three Kingdoms made three versions in total. South Korea and China both chose to remake this movie. The Korean version is called "Lucky Key", and the Chinese version is called "The Crowd". Brother, Wan Qian, Xiao Yang.

However, Li Mu still likes RB's version the most. The name of RB's version: "The Method of Stealing Keys".

This movie, which was originally not released until 2012, received a high score of 15 from 8.5 people on a certain video. It is a movie with a very good reputation, and it is also a movie that Li Mu likes very much.

The general plot is about a poor young actor who has achieved nothing. Not only has his career and love been messed up by him, but he is even so useless that he can’t even commit suicide in despair. The soap slipped on a strange man, who fainted and lost his memory, but the key to his locker slipped to the little actor's feet. From then on, the little actor and the famous underworld amnesiac cold-blooded killer switched identities.

Li Mu's main focus is still on "Inception". As for "The Way to Steal the Key", Li Mu decided to hand it over to Shen Junsheng, the director of the company's tool man.

Last time, he did a good job with the "Master of Hypnotism" project. The investment of 400 million won the box office of 6000 million for the company. , Li Mu should use it or use it.

The final box office score of the version starring Hua Ge was 7.6 million, 21 million in 7.6 years, the results are not very good, as to why the results are not very good.

A remake is not copy and paste, and it is impossible for the remake to be exactly the same as the original. This requires that the remake must have its own original content, and it is very obvious that the screenwriting level of "The Crowd" is not enough.

And these problems are not a problem for Li Mu at all, because—it’s not that Li Mu’s screenwriting skills are better, but that he can really copy them intact, because here he is the most original version.

Of course, the names and background of the story still have to be changed.

Because the original movie was in his mind, and because Li Mu hardly had to think on his own, the script was written very quickly. It took less than three days for Li Mu to write the script, and then he wrote Shen Junsheng. Called the company.

"I have a medium and low-cost movie script here. Take a look. If there is no problem, I will leave it to you to shoot." Li Mu said while sitting behind the desk.

"New script? Mr. Li, the script you wrote yourself?"

"Ah."

Shen Junsheng immediately became excited when he heard the words, this is a script written by Li Mu himself!
Who in the entertainment industry doesn't know that the script written by director Li Mu is synonymous with blockbusters!
Well, my boss remembered him!
Speaking of this, he felt a little bit wronged in his heart. With an investment of 400 million, he scored a full 6000 million box office for the company. Isn't this a bad result?Putting this achievement outside, any film company is like a big star, but he is the director of Huashang.

His 6000 million box office is very good, but he looked up at his boss, good guy, 3.67 million!Still dollars!

What is it like to have a very awesome boss?
It's the kind of experience that you are obviously excellent, but you just can't float!

Li Mu handed the script to Shen Junsheng, and after Shen Junsheng took the script, he said silly, "Mr. Li, I'll go to the office area to read the script first."

"Just look here." Li Mu said.

Shen Junsheng said, "I won't disturb you, will I?"

"will not."

"OK then."

Shen Junsheng immediately sat down on the sofa in the office, and couldn't wait to open the script.

An hour later, Shen Junsheng closed the script with a stern expression.

"Mr. Li, this script... I may not be able to shoot it."

Li Mu was a little surprised: "Do you think there is something wrong with the script?"

Shen Junsheng hurriedly shook his head and said: "No...the script has no problems, on the contrary, the plot design is very ingenious, the plot is full of wit and wit, the development of the storyline is fascinating, and the turning point is unexpected and reasonable-this is the top script."

Li Mu asked curiously: "Then why do you still...?"

Shen Junsheng said seriously: "Mr. Li, I have read many, many scripts, so I know how perfect this script is, but such a perfect script, I am afraid that I will screw it up. If it is a very classic movie, but it is ruined just because it is in my hands—or you should come and shoot the script yourself, Mr. Li."

Li Mudao: "I definitely don't have time to shoot, so even if I don't ask you to shoot the company, I have to find someone else to shoot. And I know your strength, the script will not be destroyed in your hands."

"President Li!" Shen Junsheng said excitedly.

Li Mu said with a smile: "That's all right, all right, this matter is settled like this."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

"Well, let's talk about the specifics. You have read the script, who do you think is suitable for acting?"

When it comes to specific issues, Shen Junsheng quickly got into the mood.

"The role of the little actor Wu Jie...Shen Teng or Duan Yihong are good, maybe Shen Teng is more suitable, his comedy talent is very outstanding, and Wu Jie, a character who is so useless that he can't even commit suicide, is born with a sense of humor. feel."

Li Mu just listened quietly, he was not in a hurry to express any opinions.

Shen Junsheng continued: "The role of Liang Wei is set to be a very gentle, excellent and charming woman. I should find an actor who naturally exudes a goddess in the eyes of men. I personally think that Gao Yuanyuan or Yu Feihong try."

The role of Liang Wei was played by Hiromi Ryoko in her previous life, and she is indeed a goddess-level figure.

"What about the role of the ruthless killer?" Li Mu still didn't directly comment on Shen Junsheng's choice.

At this time, Shen Junsheng thought again, and the actors in the entertainment circle flashed in his mind one by one.

"Huang Bo's acting skills are very good. I am particularly optimistic about this actor. In the script, there is a scene where a killer loses his memory and turns into a young actor, and he is also flourishing among actors. Here, a killer is needed to show his acting skills. I think Huang Bo Enough for the role."

Li Mu nodded, and then Shen Junsheng continued:
"However, Huang Bo's personal image doesn't seem to match the setting of Megatron's cold-blooded killer in the underworld."

Li Mu didn't speak, but quietly looked at Shen Junsheng who was thinking.

After a while, Shen Junsheng said again: "Speaking of the image of a ruthless killer, the half-human, half-ghost Yan Shuangying is the first thing that comes to mind in my mind. Perhaps it would be a good choice for Zhang Zijian to play the role of the killer?"

As he spoke, he shook his head again: "No, Huang Bo is more suitable."

"No, no, Zhang Zijian is more suitable." He quickly said to himself again.

Li Mudao: "If you can't confirm for the time being, wait for the audition to make a decision, and send an audition invitation to all the candidates you think of."

Shen Junsheng nodded: "I'll study it carefully, maybe there are more suitable candidates."

Li Mu nodded.

After Shen Junsheng left, Li Mu began to think again, maybe the company should make some more TV series, maybe it should make a TV series for Liu Yifei. I feel that her physique is more suitable for TV series. A lot of movies, Li Mu hardly has a few impressions, on the contrary, he made two TV series that were very popular.
