China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 17 Ning Hao and Huang Bo

It was rare for Li Mu to go to class today, and the entire class was never quiet. They were all surrounding Li Mu. The most asked question was about the next movie plan.

The questions asked are very direct and naked, just asking the characters.

What else can you get in the acting department besides getting a role? It’s not easy for people with no background to get a role these days.

It's a little better at Nortel, and there are teachers who occasionally introduce characters to the group to make them familiar faces.

Those without an art school background can only rely on fate, just like winning the lottery. One day, I will act as an extra, be spotted by the director, and then take off.

Of course, this kind of thing only happens in dreams, and the probability is slightly higher than in the lottery.

A message from China Film Group came through the phone. The box office performance of "Little Miss Sunshine" has exceeded 7500 million, and it is expected to exceed [-] million in the next two weeks.

Li Mu actually met Ning Hao, a representative director of the sixth generation in later generations, at school. He will graduate in June this year and should be back to film his graduation film.

Although Ning Hao won the "Incense" project this year, he won the gold medal in the "Asia Digital Competition" of the Asian DV competition unit of the Tokyo Filmex International Film Festival and the Hong Kong International Film Festival.Awarded the Best Film Award by the Hong Kong Arts Center, it is also a jury selection at seven other international film festivals including San Sebastian, Vancouver, Munich, Manila, Sydney, California, and Taiwan Southern Film Festival.

But here comes the bad thing, it doesn’t make money.

This was undoubtedly a devastating blow. At this time, Ning Hao's pockets were probably cleaner than his face.

Although the coal boss is rich, he is not stupid. What he wants is beauty and making money, not charity with you.

It’s really hard for directors who don’t make money these days to attract investment.

The movies they make must not break the rules. Otherwise, like Li Yang, the director of "The Blind Shaft", he won the award and made money, but he will not direct for five years.

When Li Mugang was reborn, he planned to edit the works of Hu Ninghao and other sixth-generation directors.

After thinking about it for a long time, it was really not necessary. It is not easy for China to produce good directors. There are only so many good works. Too many cuts would mean that the road is cut off.

The road is for everyone to walk together, and the road gets wider as we walk.If you walk alone, the road will be narrow.

Of course, for someone with a crooked butt like Lu Xun, Li Mu wouldn't mind giving him a straightening and letting him see why the flowers are so red.

It's just that Lu Xun is from Nortel, which gives Li Mu a little headache. After all, he is still his senior brother. If the problem gets bigger, the school will have objections.

Li Mu hurriedly visited the photography department, so there was something strange about Nortel. Many directors were not from the directing department, but Ning Hao was from the photography department.

Ning Hao was a little flattered that Li Mu came specifically to see him.

Even though he is a senior brother, the difference in status is a bit big now.It's like I'm taking a book, and Li Mu is taking a 985 version, and he's taking a foreign one.

The two of them were chatting in Nortel, and people passing by looked at Ning Hao with envy.

At this time, an uncle who looked to be in his 30s came over.

In fact, Huang Bo in 74 was almost 30, and he was indeed an uncle.

Li Mu could see it at a glance.

At this time, Ning Hao had not seen Huang Bo in real life. He had watched the movie "Get in, Let's Go". He was a little unsure whether the person in front of him was Gao Ming in "Get in, Let's Go".

"Director Li, Director Ning, hello, I'm Huang Bo, from the dubbing class, level 02 senior vocational student." Huang Bo said respectfully.

"I know you. I watched your "Get in the Car and Let's Go" and it was a good performance." Li Mu spoke first.

"Thank you, thank you for your recognition. I just came over to say hello. I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving first." Huang Bo was very happy. He didn't expect Li Mu to know him and watch his movies.

Ning Hao looked at Li Mu with envy. Of course he saw Huang Bo's intention, which was to leave an impression on Li Mu.

After all, sometimes an impression is often the key to the director remembering you.

"Are you interested in joining my company after graduation?" After chatting for so long, Li Mu stated his intention.For this future director, Li Mu certainly wants to tie him to his car and let him be a tool. Is this the bud of capitalism?
"It's not the kind of recruitment for normal employees. To be more precise, you can open a studio and be affiliated with the company. If the company has a good script, you can choose to accept it or not. If you have a good The company has the right to give priority to investment based on scripts. Of course, you can also accept scripts from outside if you don’t mind. There is no restriction on this, as long as the priority is within the company.”

Ning Hao had no reason to refuse, so he agreed after thinking about it.

Li Mu talked to him about the idea of ​​Crazy Stone and asked him to write a script himself and the company would invest in the filming.Ning Hao was a little shocked. This junior's talent is so amazing. No wonder he won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

He found this story very interesting just by hearing it, and now he couldn't wait to go home and turn it into a script.

At this moment, Ning Hao's mind was full of literary thoughts. Before leaving, he thought of it and asked.

"What is the name of our company and how many people are there now?"

"Mengying Media, there are only three people at the moment."

Ning Hao twisted his lips, wondering if he had agreed too casually. This company seemed a bit empty.

"David, have you received your dividends from The Hunger Games and Little Miss Sunshine?"

"BOSS has arrived. Last week, Warner also transferred the box office of "Little Miss Sunshine" to the account. Now the company's account has more than 9000 million US dollars."

"Please help me pay attention to a company called Industrial Light and Magic, which is a subsidiary of Lucasfilm. Send the information to my email."

"By the way, go to the Directors Guild to help me find a person named Wen Ziren, show him the script of "Saw", and ask him to direct it if he is willing."

"In terms of investment, first ask Warner. For 35% of the share, you need to be responsible for publicity. If it is rejected, then go to Lionsgate for 20%."

Li Mu still wanted to take Warner on board, and the cooperation started smoothly.

But I’m not sure Warner is interested in horror films, which is not Warner’s home turf.

If it doesn't work, then look for the second-tier Lions Gate, but you have to give up some of the share. Lions Gate doesn't need Li Mu to make such a big bet.

In the fourth week, the box office performance of "Little Miss Sunshine" officially exceeded 1 million, reaching 1.06 million.

"China's second billionaire box office club director!" The film media hyped it up.

The box office of "Little Miss Sunshine", which had been slightly dormant, picked up the next day, and it looks like it can still push forward.

Liu Weijuan, the secretary recruited by Li Mu.At this time, he was looking at Li Mu with a curious face, as if he was a curious baby, saying something here and there, and every sentence was related to gossip.

He was probably here to gossip. Li Mu looked at this secretary who graduated from Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College and felt a little speechless.

"I have something for you to do. The company will soon be filming a movie and setting up an internal shooting team and publicity team." Li Mu doesn't want to borrow people every time. He still has his own team that is comfortable to use.

"Boss, what movie?" Liu Weijuan looked directly at Li Mu.

"You'll know in a few days. If the construction team can't figure it out, please contact Director Han of China Film Group or Mr. Wang of Guangwang. I've already said hello to them." Li Mu did not respond directly, waved his hand and left.

China Film Group wanted to hold a celebration party for "Little Miss Sunshine," but after all, it broke [-] million at the box office.

Li Mu refused. Only the director of the film was from China, and the rest were from a beautiful country. It was not appropriate to hold a grand celebration party.

Although the political achievements were attractive, Mr. Han finally agreed with Li Mu's idea.

"I'm about to turn on the camera, do you want China Film to cast some?"

"As long as the budget does not exceed 3000 million, China Film will take all the shares."

"I'll give you 4% at most, and the budget is about 2500 million. Are you sure we won't leave at any time? I'm afraid someone will come to me." Li Mu smiled. The last time he boarded the ship and bought a ticket, Mr. Han planned to kick others away. Play.

"No need to break up. If someone is looking for you, ask him to come to me." Mr. Han said domineeringly.

The joke is that only China Film Group has always taken the share of others, and no one has been able to take the share of China Film Group.

"'High School Musical' is ready for promotion, don't let your guard down." Third Master Han gave the final instruction.

The Fairy Sword crew is holding a finals banquet at this time, which is a happy moment for the crew.

Liu Yifei drank her drink with a smile, but her mind had already drifted to the distance.
