China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 123 The Examiner
The post-production of "2012" has been slowly getting on the right track after polishing it in the past few months.

In Mengying's exclusive editing room, Li Mu glanced at Zhang Yifan. His messy hair seemed to be unkempt, and he looked like an artist.

"This is the most comfortable work I have ever edited." Zhang Yifan was still looking at the movie on the screen.

"Senior brother, do you want to come to our company?" When Li Mu heard this, he immediately came up with Zhang Yifan's idea.

"Hey, you kid, you have a good idea. I'll think about it when I get back."

Zhang Yifan didn't refuse. It's worth pondering these two words.

Li Mu also sincerely wanted to invite him over. Mengying indeed lacked some experienced and competent editors, especially for some movies that are competing for awards. Not everyone has the skills to edit out the movie.

Li Mu didn't force it and looked at the details of the movie carefully.

This time, after a precise cut, it looks much more comfortable, and the smell comes out.

Zhang Yifan also watched it again with Li Mu. Although he had adjusted it countless times, he really liked this film.

That kind of literary and artistic feeling matched his temperament.

"Senior brother, it's basically fine. If we adjust a few details, we can cut it and send it to Cannes." Li Mu nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, you can come over again in two days." Zhang Yifan is also a cheerful person and gets started immediately.

Nortel released the re-examination list today. This year, Nortel's performance department is recruiting 30 undergraduates and 125 vocational students, with about 4000 people applying.

Only 1519 candidates passed the preliminary examination.

This ratio is quite terrifying. More than half of the exams were wiped out in one try. It was like thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge.

Whether there is a path to stardom after crossing this bridge is another matter.

The results of the Oscar Awards have come out. "The Departed" won a big victory. Scorsese won the Best Director for "The Departed" and the Oscar for Best Picture for the film. The uncrowned king was crowned.

Forest Whitaker won the best actor award for "The Last Man". DiCaprio smiled reluctantly and applauded to congratulate him.

Another Oscar year is over.

Li Mu also stopped by Nortel to study for one semester.

Unsurprisingly, there were banners hanging outside the alley, highlighting Nortel's characteristics.

The content is naturally Wang Quanan's "Tuya's Marriage" which won the Golden Bear during the Spring Festival.

I have to say, looking like this, it really feels like bringing glory to the school.

Li Mu stood there for a while and was surrounded by the freshmen from Nortel.

"Isn't that Brother Pastor Li?" Some staff members reacted one after another.

"Brother Pastor Li has returned to school, please spread the word quickly."

After a while, the entire Nortel knew it. After all, as one of the most famous directors at Nortel, Li Mu was the real star in the school.

Tian Zhuangzhuang said metaphorically: "You made the whole school a storm when you came back."

The cigarette in his mouth never stopped, soaring in the clouds.

"Smoking less is not good for your health."

"Hey, you boy, okay, I will listen to you today." Tian Zhuangzhuang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, put out the cigarette butt, and put a smile on his face.

For a successful student like Li Mu, it sounds particularly heartwarming to remind myself to smoke less.

"We are recruiting 15 feature film majors this year. Come over if you have nothing to do." Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but mention it.

"Okay." Li Mu thought for a while. Things have been going well recently. It won't affect him if he goes for half a day.

Lao Tian is also adding some qualifications to him. This time he is to be an assistant examiner. In the next few years, he will probably be a deputy examiner.

As Li Mu's fame grows, many thresholds are opened.

You must know that Nortel's directing department has always been very popular, and occasionally classes are not open.

The number of applicants this year is 1103, which is another single-plank bridge. The ratio is even more terrifying than that of the performance department.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Mu had finished reporting for the next semester.

There are still a few days left before the directing department re-examination, and Nortel’s official website has updated the list of examiners for this re-examination.

Each of them is a senior director with detailed and dazzling resumes, and the newly added examiner Li Mu is among them.

Although Nortel did not specifically promote it, it was still known to everyone, making many people’s eyes brighten.

This is not the first time Nortel has done this, inviting famous alumni back to serve as examiners.

Many people joked: "The candidates for these feature films are having a hard time this time. There is a big shot who is the best storyteller sitting on the stage, and the box office is quite high."

"If it were me, I would definitely be nervous. After all, I don't know many of the other examiners. I really know this one."

In the girl's boudoir, a girl with a delicate face was browsing the Nortel College website over and over again.

"Director Li, why are you going to be an examiner for the directing department? The acting department is also good." Jing Tian looked at Li Mu on the list, feeling excited and a little disappointed.

Only a small number of media expressed some doubts about Li Mu's position as examiner due to his age, but no media questioned Li Mu's ability level.

Back at Mengying Media, Liu Weijuan came to the door.

"Director Ning has already sent me the script."

"Well, how many companies are missing to invest?"

"One more thing, the company can currently support the production of two movies at the same time. Let's see if that's the case."

Li Mu pondered for a moment, and before he knew it, the company had gradually grown to this point.

You must know that two movies are being produced at the same time, but both are independently produced by Mengying, which only accepts a share of external investment and does not accept intervention, rather than simply participating in investment.

TV dramas are also developing rapidly.

"Soldier Assault" directly broke 10% of the ratings on Imperial Channel, once reaching 11.8%, setting a ratings championship that year.

"Struggle" was even more snatched up, with an episode worth 65 yuan, and was picked up by two TV stations at the same time for its premiere. The price of 65 is already considered a high price nowadays, including Imperial Terrace.

At the same time, "Struggle" will also be tested on Tudou Video, with the playback speed slightly lower than that of TV stations.

"Okay, I've been thinking about it for a while. I have a few directors under my banner. Let's see who can give it a try."

On the day of the directing department re-examination, the acting department has entered the third round.

On this day, Liu Yifei also came to join in the fun.

According to her words, I came here to take classes.

Liu Yifei usually can only stay at home alone and play with cats. Finally, she can spend time with Li Mu, and she is no longer bored at home.

Li Mu's big G drove directly into the school, and the school guard already knew Li Mu's license plate number by heart.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei got out of the car and instantly attracted the attention of many people.

There was a lot of discussion for a while, but Li Mu didn't pay too much attention.

The re-examination for the Directing Department is in the newly built Teaching Building C, which is not in the same building as the Performance Department.

Li Mu's appearance soon became known even to those who came for the re-examination.

Some actors are looking forward to it. It is already the third round, and they are only one step away from Nortel.

Li Mu came early, while Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wang Ruihe and others came later.

Xie Xiaojing did not come, Tian Zhuangzhuang sat in the main seat.

Li Mu was on the far left, quietly watching the exam retellings.

The examiners basically focus on analysis of plays and films, and occasionally ask candidates to recite a passage.

There were a lot of girls, and Li Mu also remembered one person, Yue Yin.

I remember this Li Mu somewhat clearly. He seemed to have graduated from the directing department, but ended up becoming an actor halfway through, and finally developed in the direction of an actor.

There are very few people who can succeed in directing. It would be good to have one or two in a few sessions.

Of this generation of directors, Li Mu is the only one who will be remembered in future generations, and the others probably didn't make it through.

Liu Chang developed well in youth films in later generations, but Li Mu was a little cautious.

"How was it?" Tian Zhuangzhuang also patted Li Mu and asked after finishing.

"The quality is not good." Li Mu listened to it all morning and felt that it was just like that. They were all average and there was no outstanding performance.

They learned all the routines, the routines for registering for classes. Directors like Li Mu knew it right away, but they just didn't point it out on the spot.

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded.

At noon, Li Mu and Liu Yifei had a meal in the canteen. It had been more than a year since they had eaten at Nortel, and Liu Yifei was still a little excited.

"Hehe, this piece of meat is for you." Liu Yifei picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into Li Mu's bowl.

Li Mu glanced around and saw that she was a little fat. This girl couldn't accept any fat at all.

Although it is the Beidian Canteen, Liu Yifei and Li Mu are so famous that they attract the attention of many people.

I always walk this way when washing dishes.

"I won't come next time." Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable eating, feeling uncomfortable being looked at like a panda.

The interview in the afternoon was not much different from the interview in the morning. This time, I felt like I was choosing the taller one among the short ones.

Li Mu felt a little disappointed, so he might as well go to the acting department to watch the performance.

Just finished working here and ready to return.

"Director Li, Director Li!" A soft shout came from the side.

Jingtian was running over quickly.

"Ah, I almost forgot, Xiaotian, you are also taking the retest today, right?" Li Mu finally reacted.

Jingtian nodded quickly.

"How was the test?" Li Mu asked as he walked.

"It should have passed!" Jingtian thought about the teachers' reactions and smiled particularly kindly.

"That's good, work hard in "King of Kung Fu"." Li Mu didn't know what to say to her, so he could only comfort and encourage her.

"Director Li, will I have another chance to act in your movie in the future?" Jingtian looked over with an admiring look on his face.

"Well, lay a good foundation in the academy, and you will have a chance."

Li Mu felt that Jingtian's later generations were also a little impatient. Slowing down a little would have little impact on her background.

"Amu, Amu!" Liu Yifei waved in front.

"Director Li, Senior Sister Liu Yifei called you, I'll leave first." Jingtian looked at the woman in front of him, then slowly walked away.

In the car, Li Mugang lit a fire.

Liu Yifei looked up with a teasing look, "Which little junior sister are you?"

"Jingtian, you have seen it before."

"Pretty little girl."

"Don't be so old-fashioned, she is only one year younger than you."

"You really care about her and you actually remember her age!!!"

　124 has been blocked. It will probably be unblocked in the afternoon. Please wait for a while.
