Chapter 777 Chief Director Selection

"Director Zhang, can I ask, what is the required shooting time for the movie?" Li Mu asked first.

Tribute films like this almost always have a set schedule.

"I almost forgot, Xiao Wang, please send me the schedule." Zhang Hongsen said lightly.

Li Mu took over the schedule. It seemed that the preparations started from this moment on. It would end in December and start shooting in January-February 12. The pace was very tight.

"Director Zhang, I'm afraid I can't take it at this time." Zhang Yi took a look at the schedule and shook his head. "It conflicts with the scheduled filming of One Second. There's no way to adjust it."

"Director Zhang, I also have a movie here that completely overlaps with yours. You know, The Captain."

Li Mu also smiled awkwardly.

"If you shoot "The Captain" well and bring out the charm of the story, it will be a bit like a tribute film, okay." Zhang Hongsen nodded. The position of chief director can be done by one person or three people.

There was no problem at all for Brother Chen Kai to pick up the phone.

"Okay, then Director Chen and Director Huang should communicate more."

Zhang Hongsen didn't say anything extra. After all, there were indeed a lot of things to do every day, so he just had to deal with them. They were all experienced people in the industry, so there was nothing special that needed to be explained.

“If there are any resources that need to be deployed, please feel free to ask. I believe that the rest of the industry will try their best to meet the needs.”

"."

"You two have really screwed me over." Brother Chen Kai couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This job is not easy to take."

"Old Chen, thank you for your help. Director Zhang said nothing more. If you need anything, just ask. There are so many talented people in the industry. Are you afraid that you can't shoot well?"

Zhang Yi is a typical person who doesn't take any of the burden on himself and speaks in an especially nice way.

"Brother, if you need anything, just let me know." Li Mu also assured him. Anyway, this movie conflicted too much with "The Captain", and he really couldn't help.

Just as Li Mu was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and quickly found Huang Jianxin and asked, "Director Huang, you should still have your investment share for the film, right?"

Huang Jianxin glanced around and saw that no one was around. He whispered, "The entire industry needs to participate in this film. Everyone should contribute money and effort, and everyone should have a name to show for it."

"Huaxia is the main producer, but it is said that two more companies will be selected, you know."

Li Mu naturally understood the obvious meaning. In the final analysis, the three companies would provide the main money, and the subsequent joint production would make a name for themselves in the industry, so they should contribute their efforts.

But Li Mu naturally wanted to be listed as a producer, and his name was almost invisible if he was listed as a co-producer. It was estimated that there would be forty or fifty co-producers in the end.

"I understand. Thank you, Director Huang."

"Hahaha, I didn't say anything. I guess everyone will know this news in a few days." Huang Jianxin said with a smile.

I have to say that after reaching a certain position, one has to be very cautious in doing things. After all, if you are not careful, you will get into trouble.

Li Mu also kept it in mind. Although he knew the news in advance, it seemed that he had no idea where to start. This thing would probably have to be bid for by the industry in the end. He could only think about how to make a plan in advance.

However, such an election is still beneficial to Mengying Media. After all, the main theme movies produced by Mengying Media in recent years have at least scored high impression points.

"Old Li, who did you choose in the end?" Jiang Wen called Li Mu before he returned home. It seemed that he was still paying close attention to this matter.

"Director Chen Kai." Li Mu said lightly.

"Old Chen." Jiang Wen shook his head unsatisfiedly, "You two don't have time?"

"Nonsense, my schedule for The Captain overlaps completely, otherwise I can take it over later. By the way, from what the General Administration means, I'm afraid this movie should be shot in multiple units. Do you want to participate?"

"The chief director is Lao Chen. I would never do that if he asked me to be his assistant." Jiang Wen cursed. If he, Jiang Wen, wanted to do something, he would be the big brother. There was no reason for him to be a little brother.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want."

Li Mu did not try to persuade him. After all, it was true. Doesn't that mean Jiang Wen was half a head shorter? Who among those who have achieved this level would be willing to admit that they were half a head shorter?

After the meeting, everyone in the industry knew about this and was very agitated for a while.

Naturally, major companies are eager to invest money. It doesn’t matter whether they make money or not. What matters most is the intention. Of course, making money is definitely better.

Tencent, Alibaba, Guangxian, Bona, Huayi...all the companies started moving at the same time.

Li Mu received many calls that night, but due to some reasons, he could not reveal the words Huang Jianxin gave him for the time being.

Anyway, there are some things that cannot come out of his mouth. If others find out, it has nothing to do with him.

"Yes, you should make a bidding proposal yourself and don't let anyone else get in touch with it for the time being." Li Mu also instructed that they should make use of the two days ahead of time, at least the bidding proposal can be made in advance.

"Understood, Mr. Li."

"Is there a bidding for the movie?" Liu Yifei was sitting next to Li Mu, so Li Mu certainly didn't hide it from the person next to him.

"Well, it's OK for you to know."

"oh oh."

Liu Yifei didn't ask any further questions, as it had nothing to do with her anyway.

The next day, Lu Yang came to Mengying Media with panda eyes. The moment Li Mu saw him, he thought he had seen the wrong person.

"Oh my god, how did you become like this?" Li Mu came forward to take a look, and wow, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Director Li, the script is finally done, and I'm just planning to find someone to prepare it." Lu Yang said excitedly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with him at all.

"No need to be so anxious, you, tsk tsk."

"It's okay, hehe!" Lu Yang grinned.

"Qingdao, Oriental Movie Metropolis?" Li Mu took a look at the preparations for Lu Yang's planned filming. The studio seemed to be in the same place as "The Captain".

"Hmm? Director Li, what's going on?"

"No, I'm also shooting my movie there. What a coincidence. I guess I need to book another studio." Li Mu said with a smile.

"It would be nice if we had our own Yingdu. It feels awkward to use someone else's every time."

Lu Yang muttered as he sorted out the preparatory materials.

The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener took it to heart. Li Mu remembered these words for a moment.

"."

The movies in the National Day period are already making great efforts. Mengying Media held a 1 billion yuan celebration banquet for "A Good Show", and Huang Bo's movie can be considered a very successful one.

At this time, a screenshot of a circle of friends suspected to be from "Duet" producer Li Yanchun pointed out that Lu Han "suddenly raised the issue of schedule after the program started recording, and Youku had tried many times to negotiate with his agency team to retain him but failed", which caused a lot of heated discussion.

The director even publicly said, "He completely ignored the work and efforts of hundreds of people in the entire group, and completely ignored the other two artists who kept adjusting their schedules for him. He wanted to see how far an artist without artistic ethics can go. Let's wait and see."

This offended Lu Han's fans, and they immediately criticized the director and producer.

"That's outrageous. I definitely don't want actors like that in my movie."

Lu Yang and the others basically stayed in Mengying Media because of the casting issue, and they couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

"So who do you want to choose?" Li Mu looked curiously at the list that Lu Yang was checking.

"Lei Jiayin." Lu Yang thought for a moment and said slowly, "I worked with him in "Blade Master 2" and his acting skills were also OK."

"Yu Hewei and Guo Jingfei are also good."

"By the way, Director Li, does the boss lady have time? I have a role that's quite suitable, and it requires someone who knows some martial arts." Lu Yang suddenly changed the subject, catching Li Mu off guard.

"She definitely has a schedule, but she probably doesn't have time to act. She also has a role in my movie, but she doesn't plan to act in it."

"Because of the little bun?" Lu Yang immediately thought of the key to the problem. "Yes, the little bun is still young. If he grows up, he can be chosen. Who should I choose?"

Lu Yang was in a dilemma for a moment.

"What kind of female action scenes do you want? Poetic and graceful action scenes, or strong and powerful styles?" Li Mu did not give any suggestions at the first time, but instead asked Lu Yang about his plans for this role.

Because the selection of people is different in different scenarios.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "In my mind, this part of the play needs to be more vigorous and powerful, and needs to be more heroic."

"If that's the case, I've thought of one that should be okay." Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Wang Zhi!"

"Wang Zhi!" Lu Yang muttered. He naturally had an impression of this actress. His eyes lit up slightly. "It seems quite suitable. I remember that she entered the entertainment industry with her outstanding martial arts and dance skills."

Lu Yang wrote it down silently as a plan for subsequent personnel selection.

Li Mu didn't say much, he just gave some advice.

"You said Director Lu has a role suitable for me?" Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel happy, "I don't know I'm so popular."

"Of course not." Li Mu also agreed, which instantly made Liu Yifei's self-confidence explode.

“It’s been a hard few years.”

Li Mu touched Liu Yifei's smooth hair and said with some guilt.

Because of the little bun, Liu Yifei hasn't been able to get any acting jobs in the past few years. Fortunately, many activities in the industry are still very keen to find her.

"It's not hard." Liu Yifei leaned close to Li Mu's arms. "It's really a great sense of accomplishment to watch the little kid grow up."

The little boy was still carefree at this moment. He was either playing or on his way to play, and his smile never seemed to stop.

"I don't know if the little one will have trouble adapting to kindergarten next year." Liu Yifei has already started to worry about the little one's small class next year.

Perhaps being a parent is always a worrying thing.

"I don't think so." Li Mu had a strange smile on his face at this time.

"why?"

"I think she seems to be a bit of a social bull."

Li Mu didn't know what to say. Anyway, it seemed very active at the moment. Alaska originally wanted to tear down the house, but the little bun had consumed most of his energy.

"I don't think so." Liu Yifei said unconfidently at this moment.

"This is not a bad thing, it's good, it's better than being depressed."

"That too!"
