Chapter 753: Slang, Again

"The Wandering Earth" has not yet entered the filming stage, but another science fiction film in the industry has begun its first wave of publicity.

With the current popularity of the sci-fi film "The Wandering Earth", the China Film Group's "Shanghai Fortress" has also entered the public eye, and the official statement is:

“Shanghai Fortress will be released in summer 2019.

同名小说豆瓣8.5高分、2018年科幻大会上获得“最受期待IP”、原著作者江南亲自参与剧本创作、2014年开始筹备，2017年开拍，5年电影之路！期待鹿晗”

For a novel with such a big IP, the Douban score has reached 8.5, so China Film Group is naturally full of confidence.

"Director Li, it looks like your movie has a rival."

In the Cat's Eye Building, Wang Changtian walked and laughed.

Li Mu attended the executive briefing meeting on Monday as usual because he hadn't started filming yet.

"The more competitors the better, it proves that our industry is thriving. Otherwise, it's always the same old things, and we'd get tired of it, let alone the audience."

"That's true. Director Li has a big vision."

"."

There were a few new faces in the meeting room for today's report.

As Maoyan’s listing plan progresses, it is naturally also recruiting a large number of professionals in the industry.

The reports from senior management are standard and the process is currently progressing smoothly.

However, when it came to the middle level, the initial report of a new middle-level manager really stunned Li Mu and Wang Changtian.

"Our company's strategy requires big data analysis to identify users' pain points and find their satisfaction points, but we must focus more on attracting users and allocating resources to them, thereby leveraging user traffic in vertical fields and gradually forming our own ecological barriers.

For example"

Although this middle-level manager also highlighted some practical things later, various Internet terms were used one after another.

"Director Li, what are you talking about?"

Wang Changtian frowned, thinking that what he said was both fake and empty. Fortunately, he gave a few examples so that everyone had a rough idea of ​​what he was talking about.

Li Mu's face turned dark at this moment. The atmosphere of the Internet would indeed spread. Although Maoyan was a ticketing platform for the film and television industry, it was indeed more in line with the Internet.

However, Li Mu did not say anything on the spot and still listened patiently.

But after the meeting, Li Mu directly asked Zheng Zhihao to stay.

Seeing that Li Mu and Wang Changtian looked unhappy, Zheng Zhihao felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it, the report just now didn't seem to have anything particularly bad.

"Where did you recruit the second-to-last speaker just now?"

Li Mu asked calmly.

Zheng Zhihao quickly responded: "Mr. Li, from Alibaba."

"Forget about it this time. In future meetings of all sizes, there will be no need for such nonsense words, such as tactics, grasping methods, vertical fields, etc.

If there is something to say, then say it. If there is nothing to say, then end the meeting and do your own thing. These are all bad habits. Who doesn't make empty and pretentious arguments? "

Li Mu was also warning Zheng Zhihao. After all, if there was a clue, it might lead to further developments, and this trend needed to be curbed.

"If this person is capable, keep him and let him get rid of this bad habit. If not, replace him."

Li Mu would not kill someone directly because of this report, but the impression he made was naturally not very good. However, there are also very capable people coming out of Alibaba. If they can lead the team in battle and correct their bad habits, these are all small matters.

"I understand, Mr. Li, Mr. Wang. I will curb this trend and it will never appear again in the company."

The moment Li Mu said that, Zheng Zhihao realized what Li Mu hated. After all, as a professional manager, he had to have this sense of smell.

"Well, do it well. Try to hold fewer meetings. Don't hold meaningless meetings. Don't waste everyone's time. Instead, use this time to let employees rest more and go home early."

Li Mu patted Zheng Zhihao on the shoulder and said that he would look into the situation later. If there was no problem, then the matter would be over. If there was a problem, then he would have to find someone to handle it.

"I don't know who came up with these words. They can't even speak properly."

After dealing with the matter, Wang Changtian also complained a few words.

"We are not in the Internet circle, but words like this are quite popular nowadays." Li Mu said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you will probably hear a lot of them when you attend a few more Internet forums."

“A bit exaggerated.”

"Hahaha"

"."

"Mom, grandma, Dad is back, it's the seventh day of the seventh month."

As soon as Li Mu got home, he heard the little bun's voice.

Sure enough, at the entrance of the hall, a little girl wearing a white floral dress and a small vest was waiting for him.

There was also a chubby Alaskan beside him, sticking out its tongue, and it seemed very happy to see Li Mu.

After all, Li Mu also feeds it sometimes.

"What did grandma make?"

Li Mu bent down, exerted force with both hands, and held the little bun in his arms.

Although the two-year-old baby is much heavier than before, it is still not too difficult to carry.

"Another cake"

"Oh, meatloaf, huh?"

Li Mu immediately understood. The main reason was that meat patties were made of chopped meat, which was easier for children to absorb and eat.

The little bun nodded heavily.

"Rou Rou is ready, come here quickly, mom will help you wash your hands."

Liu Yifei brought a small plate of steamed meat patties with corn kernels from the kitchen, put it on the table, and called out to Xiao Baozi.

"it is good!"

When the little bun heard that there was meat to eat, she became very happy because it was one of her favorite foods.

"Why do I feel like she's turning into a foodie?"

Li Mu sat on the stool and couldn't help but smile. "Is it not good? Unlike you, you were picky about food when you were a kid. You see, little Baozi is not picky."

Li's mother's revelation made everyone laugh.

"She is indeed not picky, that's because you cook what she likes to eat, so she is definitely not picky."

Li Mu was speechless, but fortunately he ate a balanced diet, so it didn't matter much.

"Seven and again, seven and again"

The little girl came over impatiently without even drying her hands after washing them, and Liu Yife was chasing her with a handkerchief in her hand.

"I told you to wipe it dry, wipe it dry."

Liu Yifei grabbed the little boy's hand, wrapped it with a handkerchief, and then let him go.

"Seven and Again"

The little girl used her special little fork to pick up the meat from the bowl that Li's mother gave her and slowly put it into her mouth. Her cute little cheeks were moving slowly.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Liu Yifei took a tissue and helped wipe the corners of the little bun's mouth, and couldn't help but find it funny.

Time flies and it is already the end of March.

Studio 421 is still urgently researching the gantry, and the actors are still getting familiar with the current weights.

Li Mu also put aside other things and concentrated on the crew of "The Wandering Earth".

"I think we should arrange the group performance first and give them a few more days to train." Li Mu took a look at the actors who were still doing weight training and made the decision.

Because each exoskeleton has nearly a thousand parts, with tights, body shapers, armor, and shoulder blades in several layers, it is complicated to put on and take off, and it takes half an hour or even an hour. In addition, the helmet is closed inside and prone to fogging and lack of oxygen. Li Mu occasionally sees actors vomiting while wearing them.

Under the current circumstances, it is easiest to adapt more
"Director Li, which scene should we shoot first?"

Li Mu picked up the schedule and finally ticked off a few scenes. "Let's start with the scene of thousands of people entering the city."

The scene of tens of thousands of people entering the city does not require exoskeleton armor and can be shot in advance. The problem lies in the number of extras.

But this is not a problem at all for a crew with an extremely sufficient budget.

Few crews use this kind of group scene as the opening shot, but there is no other way. It is more important to give the actors time to adapt to the weight. As for how to start the filming, it is actually a trivial matter.

"500 extras, find someone to arrange them quickly, and start shooting tomorrow."

Since Li Mu has made the decision, there is no time to lose.

As the first assistant director, Guo Fan didn't need to handle the matter personally. He could just pass the message to the people below.

It is naturally impossible to directly find 500 people for the scene of people entering the city, and the existing extras can only accommodate people.

At this time, you should first shoot a row, then a group, and then a single one, and then combine them with the background in later stage to "create" the scene of tens of thousands of people entering the city.

"According to recent news, The Wandering Earth, directed by Li Mu, officially started filming yesterday, with over 500 extras participating."

With the start of filming of "The Wandering Earth", news from the media spread everywhere.

However, to the regret of the media, when filming started, the first scene was actually a group scene, and the leading actors did not appear, which reduced a lot of popularity.

But this news made the fans excited.

"Filming has finally started. It's been a long time in preparation."

"This is Li Mu's first sci-fi film in several years. It's worth watching. The title sounds very sci-fi."

"Tsk tsk tsk, The Wandering Earth, could it be that there is only one person left on Earth, wandering alone?"

"."

At the same time, after shooting group scenes for several days in a row, Studio 421 finally made the gantry.

"Director Li, for the sake of speed, we are currently using wooden frames. You can use them first. We will have the opportunity to upgrade to steel frames later."

Huang Tianyu took out the gantry he had recently designed.

"It can only be used by one person at the moment?" As soon as Li Mu saw the design, he felt that it was impossible for multiple people to use it together.

"Yes, Director Li. There is not enough time. A new multi-user plan is already being designed."

"Okay!" Li Mu nodded. After all, it was not easy to design and tinker with it in such a short time.

"Everyone come over here and try this rack."

Li Mu greeted everyone.

"Finally the design has been completed, Uncle Da, you can use it first."

Everyone gave the chance to Ng Mang-tat first.

"Uncle Da, you try it first. The rest can be taken out tomorrow. It's no problem." Li Mu also persuaded.

"Okay, then I, an old man, will use it first."

Wu Mengda didn't hesitate, because he needed this thing the most, otherwise it might delay the shooting progress. So he slowly leaned on the tripod according to Huang Tianyu's instructions, and he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

"Director Li, it really works. It reduces the weight by about 70 to 80 percent. I can use it to rest." Wu Mengda said with a little joy.

"Quickly get the rest out!" Li Mu ordered.

"Understood, Director Li!"

Seeing this, Huang Tianyu also left the scene directly.

At this time, the actors were chattering.

"Uncle Da, you know what, you look a bit like a roast duck like this. I was thinking if we hang them together on the rack tomorrow, will it be a row of roast ducks?"

"I also feel a bit like roast duck." Wu Mengda also laughed.

"Tomorrow we'll hang it on the rack together and take a picture."

"Hahaha, sure, let Director Li and Director Guo help us shoot tomorrow!"
