China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 658 Assistant Director

There is also a Chinese saying: Don’t air your dirty laundry in public.

Your own household affairs should be handled quietly by your family. Don't let outsiders know about it. It's embarrassing and not good.

This time, Zhang Liangying's mother did not hesitate to use the media to publish an open letter to firmly oppose her daughter's marriage, which shows that she is prepared to fight to the death.

In the open letter, Zhang's mother claimed that she was told about her daughter's marriage by someone else, and asked herself whether the person was a relative, a friend, or a close friend?

It's really sad.

"Jingying said her mother took away her household registration booklet"

Liu Yifei said with a complicated expression, obviously worried about her friend. Can this relationship that is not blessed by their parents really be happy in the end?

In recent days, the domestic entertainment industry has really seen a bloody drama.

"I really don't understand her. She looks like a fool."

Shu Chang, the military strategist, was also pointing fingers, but anyone with a discerning eye could see something. Only Zhang Liangying, who was in the middle of the situation, was still immersed in her own world.

Liu Yifei was still worrying about how to help her friend, but she really couldn't understand it. She was still thinking about the words Li Mu had said to her before.

Shu Chang, on the other hand, simply put the matter aside, picked up the little bun and kept muttering:

"Little Baozi, little Baozi, when will you call me auntie?"

"By the way, Sissi, didn't you say last time that he could say 'baba'? How about 'mama'?"

Shu Chang's words brought Liu Yifei back to reality.

Because it was already October, the weather had turned cooler and the breeze was a little chilly, so the little bun naturally put on a sweater.

The yellow sweater is paired with a pink mini skirt, and the little bun has a cute pink face and perfect and delicate facial features, which makes people want to pinch it unconsciously.

"not yet."

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei seemed a little depressed. Several days have passed, and this mother's teaching has been ineffective.

"Well, it's going to be a long time until the little one grows up, but he looks so cute right now."

Shu Chang couldn't help but want to pinch the little bun's face, but the little bun seemed to hate being pinched all the time. Her pink little hands slapped Shu Chang as if to drive her away.

"Haha, now they will resist."

The two of them were smiling like flowers because of the little bun's actions.

At the same time, Li Mu also met his direct junior brother.

Unlike directors of Ning Hao's generation, Wen Muye is more like Guo Fan. He wears black-framed glasses and is gentle and refined, like a scholar, but compared to Guo Fan, he seems a little dull.

"Brother!"

"Sit down, sit down!" Li Mu gestured with a smile.

"Why are you so reserved? We are both your senior brothers and we are from the same place. In fact, your brother Pastor Li is closer to you."

Ning Hao patted his shoulder and asked him to relax.

"I also took a look at your graduation project, Requiem, a realistic short film. It's quite interesting. I see that you seem to have always liked stories about reality."

Li Mu filled the two people's cups of tea and then poured himself a cup.

"This guy is really good at shooting reality. I noticed that not only his graduation work focused on the little people at the bottom or marginalized people, but also some of his usual works and assignments seemed to focus on this topic."

Ning Hao added on the side.

Wen Muye scratched his head:
“The main reason is that I think good movie stories are generally based on reality, because the authenticity of the story is the most powerful.

Realistic themes are like soil, and genres are the flowers that grow on it. The more fertile the soil is and the more skilled the director is, the more beautiful the flowers will be. This is how I understand this theme."

Li Mu and Ning Hao were both listening quietly to Wen Muye's description of his understanding of the movie.

In fact, every director has his own film philosophy or preferences.

It has to be said that Wen Muye is indeed a talented person. No wonder he was noticed by Tian Zhuangzhuang and accepted as his disciple during his last teaching period at Beijing Film Academy.

"By the way, do you have any projects on hand?"

Li Mu then asked with a smile, if someone is interested in using him, then of course he should make the best use of his ability. He just happened to have a realistic movie on hand.

"Not yet. This is the reason why I haven't come to see you. I don't have any projects on hand, so I plan to accumulate experience on my own."

Wen Muye is not stupid. If he doesn't use such good resources and connections, he is a fool. However, he just graduated not long ago and does not have any good projects on hand.

"Then come to my crew and help me first?" Li Mu's eyes lit up. Isn't this his best candidate for assistant director?

"I have a script on hand right now. It's about a realistic theme. You should have heard of it in the industry. How about coming over to be an assistant director?"

"Lao Li, you mean your movie 'Dying to Survive'? I think it's OK. He's suitable, absolutely suitable."

Ning Hao reacted immediately.

Wen Muye also had a look of joy on his face, mainly because this was a really good opportunity. After all, he was just a director who had made micro-films. Although he graduated with a master's degree in directing, apart from his connections, he had no outstanding achievements for the time being and he also had little experience in the circle.

If it were an ordinary director, he would still hesitate, but a director of Li Mu's level is the best place for him to learn, and several directors under Mengying Media all came from Li Mu's crew as assistant directors. "Brother, is this really possible?"

Wen Muye felt like he was hit by a pie in the sky. If he had known that his senior brother was so easy to talk to, he would have called him to curry favor with him.

"But it might be very hard. One of the producers is not very familiar with the business. Um, Han Jianu, the daughter of Mr. Han, you probably have to deal with her a lot recently."

Li Mu thought about it in his mind and realized that these two people could be considered laborers, but they were definitely training people.

A novice producer and a novice assistant director, but this doesn’t matter much in your own crew.

"Brother, I will do my best."

Wen Muye was immediately filled with confidence. This kind of opportunity was something most people would not be able to obtain even if they asked for it.

"As a result, before we know it, the screenwriters, directors, and producers all graduated from our school. I don't think the actors will be our own people in the end either."

Ning Hao came back to his senses and realized that the project of "Dying to Survive" was really about to become a gathering place for Beijing Film Academy personnel.

"Probably not. Isn't it said that our director likes to use actors from the Central Academy of Drama?"

"You are not included in this list of directors. I guess if you really count them, I am not included either."

Ning Hao smiled lightly.

In fact, this situation is very normal in the industry, because Nortel does have an advantage in the industry, and they will unconsciously come together, initiate projects, and become a resource engine.

This situation is most obvious in Mengying Media, because all the directors it works with are from the Beijing Film Academy, and similar situations will always occur.

"Well, I'll ask the producer to come over so you can get to know her better. Even though you two are classmates, I don't think you've met many times."

Li Mu thought about it and decided that since he had let Wen Muye be his assistant director, many things would have to be handed over to him so that he could relax.

Although Han Jianu and Wen Muye were in the same class, they must have known each other to some extent, but they had different teachers. In addition, given the freedom of a master's degree, it is estimated that they did not have any special relationship, and they only met once or twice and their teachers mentioned each other.

"Senior Brother!" Han Jianu was also wearing glasses and holding a book in her hand, as if she was reviewing her lessons.

"Is it convenient for you to come over? The assistant director of 'Dying to Survive' has arrived. You should also come over to meet him so that we can coordinate our work later."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there right away." Han Jianu immediately put down the book and stood up.

Han Sanping was watching TV leisurely in the living room. He frowned at the impetuous Han Jianu and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to take some production lessons? Why are you going out again?"

"My senior brother called me and said that the assistant director has arrived and asked me to go and meet him."

Han Jianu is changing the trailer into flat-heeled women's leather shoes.

"Oh, I guess he's someone you plan to train, maybe your senior or junior brother. It would be nice to get to know him."

Han Sanping withdrew his gaze and continued watching the TV series, enjoying his retirement life.

"Huh? Dad, how did you know that?"

"If he is a normal director working at Mengying Media, there is no need for you to go there specially. You will know him when you work. Since he asked you to go there, he must be planning to focus on training him, just like Lu Yang and Guo Fan."

"Dad, it's a pity that you don't become a detective. Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll tell you the result when I come back. See if it's what you guessed."

Han Sanping smiled faintly. This was not a guess out of thin air, but the result of decades of accumulated experience.

Mengying Media, inside Li Mu’s office.

Wen Muye was already reading the script of "Dying to Survive" and a list of various things to do.

Wen Muye was obviously very excited when he saw the script of "Dying to Survive".

Li Mu and Ning Hao smiled and continued to talk about other things.

After a while, Lu Yu came with Han Jianu.

"Hello, two senior brothers!"

Han Jianu spoke immediately when she saw Li Mu and Ning Hao.

"Huh? Wen Muye? Oh, the assistant director that senior brother was talking about is you." Han Jianu recognized him the first time, and muttered in her heart, remembering Han Sanping's words.

"Well, he's the assistant director. You'll have to communicate more in the next few months, but since you're from the same school, it shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Li Mu felt that this acquaintance was a good one, so there was no need to introduce him.

"Let's have dinner together later." Li Mu looked at the time. It was almost time for dinner. "Is there anything you should avoid eating?"

"I can eat anything." Wen Muye was the first to speak out.

"Me, you know that!" Ning Hao shrugged.

"I didn't ask you!" Li Mu interrupted Ning Hao and looked at Han Jianu.

"Hey, Brother, guess where I'm from?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Hao and Wen Muye could not help laughing, because Han Jianu was from Sichuan Province, and Li Mu was from Cantonese, and the two had many dietary restrictions in common.

Finally, Li Mu thought about it and decided to eat hotpot, mainly because he could eat it himself.
