Big names rise

When He Mu was sitting in the office of Tiger Wolf's deputy director, his assistant, secretary and niece Xiao Nan told him that he had a visitor.

He Mu didn't know this visitor. He claimed to be the general manager of Xingguang Brilliant Film and Television Company, and his surname was Yu.

Starry?This name is a bit familiar. When Mr. Yu mentioned the name "Jing Tian", He Mu remembered that Jing Tian who passed the audition two days ago belonged to this company.

Seeing the smile on Mr. Yu's face, He Mu knew why he was here. He just hoped that Jing Tian could get the role of the second daughter. Compared with the other girls who did not have a brokerage company, Jing Tian who had a company to help manage it was undoubtedly There are many shortcuts that can be taken.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, just as He Mu was thinking about how to politely refuse, Mr. Yu took out a planning proposal. He Mu glanced at it roughly, to the effect that Starlight can provide half of the filming funds for "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty" , but only enjoy 30% of the income. The exchange condition is that Jing Tian must play the role of the second daughter, and must ensure that the role is no less than that of the first female Sun Li, and there must be no intimacy scenes. In addition...

He Mu resisted to read a lot of additional conditions later, and then smiled at the boss with his mouth curled up, "Don't you always think that 50% of the investment is only exchanged for 30% of the income, and we tigers and wolves have taken advantage of it?"

Mr. Yu leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said arrogantly, "Isn't it?"

"Mr. Yu should have just started this business. I don't know about other dramas, but the yield of the drama starring He Mu is not twice as high as my reputation. You can ask around in the circle. The yield of "Stewardess" exceeds "Chang'an Chaos" almost tripled, and "True Treasure" has a huge investment. But the copyright sold now has almost recovered the cost. If your company invests half of the investment and only enjoys 10% of the return, I would rather You can consider it, after all Miss Jing Tian's own condition is not bad."

Hearing He Mu's words, Mr. Yu just wanted to say something, He Mu said again: "Also, I understand the promotion of newcomers in my company, and I can understand playing some tricks in the casting. This is what this industry is like. Rich and background You will have more opportunities than others, but at least you should lower your attitude and don’t think that money is everything. At least I can be more comfortable, but your miscellaneous demands make me very uncomfortable, even if Sun Li, Xu Qing I'm not happy about not having so many requests. So I have to say, 'Xiao Nan. See off!'”

Xiao Nan standing next to He Mu couldn't help giving a thumbs up. The old uncle is really domineering and handsome!He Mu almost always appears as an actor outside, and he has never been seen showing off as the deputy director of Tiger Wolf, so that most people have never seen He Mu as a leader, and even almost forgot He Mu's other side. layer identity.

He Mu felt that he and Li Fatty partnered to create the world of Xuanhuang, and they didn't learn much about publishing skills, but they cultivated the aura of a lot of high-ranking people.It's just that the man has been hiding his front.

Mr. Yu's face flushed slightly, he was considered a wunderkind.He has never been choked on like this before, he picked up the plan, stood up awkwardly, "Okay, very good!"

After Mr. Yu left, He Mu approached Datang and Xiao Fang, and asked them what the starlight was about. It was fun just now when he was talking nonsense, but after he finished talking, he was worried that he would get into trouble. A company that invests half of a large production TV series should not be so easy to bully.

Xiao Fang didn't know anything about this company. Through some connections in the circle, Datang learned that the company was newly established last year. After the establishment of the company, it was very low-key and did not take much action. It is said that there are financial backers behind the scenes, but the financial backers are also very low-key and mysterious.

Xiao Fang comforted He Mu not to worry about it. This kind of company is probably a rich man’s game. There are many such companies in the industry, and none of them really became popular in the end. After all, investing in the film and television industry is not for the purpose of making money. Definitely can't make it bigger and stronger.He Mu deeply agrees with Xiao Fang's last words.

In the second round of auditions two days later, Jing Tian was absent, and the second daughter was selected from Zheng Min, Wang Ziwen, and Jiang Kaitong.He Mu personally notified Jing Tian of the time and place of the second round of auditions. Although her agency was a bit too much, He Mu would not put the general dislike on her, but Jing Tian expressed apology to He Mu, saying that Due to some arrangement of the company, she can't participate in this audition, and she hopes to cooperate in the future.

In the practice room of Tiger Wolf Company, He Mu, Xiao Fang, and Tao Quduo acted as interviewers to decide the final candidate.

The script is half finished now, and He Mu intercepted the part of the second daughter for the three girls to watch for a while, and then perform.The performance is divided into two parts, one is when the two girls are in a stupid state, and the other is when the two girls are shrewd and seduce Wang Zihao.As the actor of Wang Zihao, He Mu will personally accompany them in the play.

If you want to talk about pretending to be cute, this is Zheng Xing's strong point. She is a cute type, and she can be cute with a little effort. In addition, she has a rough understanding of the character of the second daughter, and after cooperating with He Mu After a short performance, she won unanimous praise from everyone. In addition, Wang Ziwen's performance is also very brilliant. She has the most thorough understanding of the characters. It seems that she has worked hard on the original work. She understands what the author and screenwriter want. Therefore, the two girls she played are the most similar. This round, Jiang Kaitong's performance is more moderate.

The second round of seducing Wang Zihao was just dialogue and did not involve physical movements. Even so, the three girls were a little shy. Of course, there are degrees of shyness. I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but I performed very well afterwards.

Combining the two performances, Wang Ziwen is undoubtedly the best, followed by Zheng Wei, and Jiang Kaitong is at the bottom. Both He Mu and Tao Quduo think that Wang Ziwen is a very spiritual actor, and it may be the same as her previous performance. It is related to having been in the circle for a period of time.

However, in the final selection of the candidate, it is necessary to have both spirit and form. From this point of view, Wang Ziwen is the least like the second daughter.

The final choice is actually He Mu's choice. Whoever he says is who he is. He said Zheng Xing, so Zheng Xing is the second daughter.

This news was a bit cruel to the other two girls, so He Mu told them that they would give them a final answer within three days, and that it would be better to say it on the phone if they refused.

So far, the main candidates for the crew of "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty" are basically determined, and there are some secondary characters He Mu who let Director Tao and Producer Cai choose or look for it directly from the actors' union after arriving in Hengdian. Maybe you can find the next He Mu? , and what He Mu has to do now is to fly to Hengdian.

Before, he had sent staff in charge of the preparatory work of the crew to select shooting scenes in major film and television bases across the country, and Hengdian Film City and Xi'an Film City were the most suitable ones. The photos sent back by the staff, plus the He Mu is familiar with the land in Hengdian, so he decided to go to Hengdian to investigate first.

When you come to Hengdian, you must go to Chang Dabao's house first, and by the way, decide on the role.He Mu gave the script to Chang Dabao to read, and during the time when He Mu was eating and drinking, Chang Dabao confirmed, "I'll play the money housekeeper and make myself older, it's not a big problem."

He Mu squeezed the stewed meat and said, "Okay, later I will inform Tao Quduo to let him fix Cheng Yaojin's role, and Brother Bao, you have to go to the capital as soon as possible to do the makeup and styling, and now it has started It’s done.” He Mu’s own looks have been completed a long time ago, and they were all made by top domestic film and television stylists, so he is handsome.

Chang Dabao nodded and asked He Mu, "Are you here this time to find a shooting location?"

"Well, this time I'm filming a Tang Dynasty drama, so I need to find a lot of Tang Dynasty buildings. Hengdian is an option, and I might also go to Xi'an." He Mu made no secret of it. , I have to say Chang Dabao, although He Mu claims to have visited Hengdian Studios all over, but there are changes every day here, and he who hasn't been here for more than half a year is definitely not as good as Brother Bao, a local snake.

Sure enough, upon hearing what He Mu said, Chang Dabao patted his chest and promised to take He Mu to find the Tang Dynasty buildings tomorrow. There must be what he wants here.

Hengdian deserves to be called China's Hollywood. There are rich scenes here, including the architectural styles of all dynasties. In the architectural complex of the Tang Dynasty, He Mu found the ideal palace house, as well as some restaurants, brothels, and teahouses. It can basically be used if the person is changed. He Mu asked his subordinates to discuss these things with the studio management committee, especially the house he fancy, and he must keep it for a month.

Generally speaking, He Mu is still very satisfied with Hengdian. The only thing is that Wang Zihao still has a house in the deep mountains and old forests, and He Mu couldn't find a suitable one here.This other courtyard is also a very important scene, and it cannot be sloppy. Since Hengdian does not have it, He Mu has to find a way elsewhere.While asking Brother Bao to help him find out if there is a suitable house in the mountains, he mobilized the company staff to look for it in other film and television bases.

After leaving Hengdian, He Mu first went to Shanghai. During the 11th Shanghai International Film Festival, although He Mu had no works shortlisted or screened, as a super popular local star, He Mu Invited by the Organizing Committee of the Shanghai Film Festival to be an award presenter for a small award.This time, the chairman of the jury of the Shanghai Film Festival is Wang Jiawei, and he personally invited them. The two are old acquaintances. Naturally, He Mu has to give face, just attend the closing ceremony and awards ceremony. It will not take a few hours. Not really that busy.

The Shanghai Film Festival is the first and only A-category international film festival in my country (Note 1). Although it is one of the nine A-category international film festivals along with Cannes, Berlin, and Venice, its influence is not as good as it is 01:30 It is not even as good as the East Film Festival in neighboring countries. Recently, even the Busan Film Festival in South Korea is struggling to catch up. As the only A-category international film festival in China, the Shanghai Film Festival is still under pressure.
