Big names rise

() Zhang Ziyi thinks that He Mu is so cute. As an actor, he actually cares so much about who has better cooking skills than a director. When I meet Director Ang Lee, I must tell him that there is an actor in mainland China who does not accept his cooking skills. .

During the filming of "Perfect", He Mu starred in the new film "Glass Heart" directed by Tao Quduo. On the schedule.

The prototype of the story of "Glass Heart" is the award-winning short film "The Female Ghost" directed by Tao Quduo and starring He Mu and Zhang Jiani. It is the earliest video in the mainland that became popular through the Internet. Now the concept of micro-movies has emerged. "The Female Ghost" can also be regarded as a micro-movie, and in 05 it was top-notch in terms of quality and influence. That story is still talked about by netizens, and now you can often see posts like cheating replies in some forums, all of which are learned from the original "Nv Gui".

It is precisely because of the success of "The Female Sorcerer" that year that He Mu attracted the attention of a small number of netizens. For the first time, he accumulated a little bit of fame and confidence in acting. ", He Mu has officially embarked on an indomitable path of acting. "The Girl" is the starting point of his success, and it is of great significance to him.

During a relatively free time, He Mu passed the initial test of the script of "True Treasure", and wanted to write a movie script for a while, because he was inspired by Wang Zihao and his two daughters in "A Good Man in Tang Dynasty", he asked Li Wenhua Help him buy "Dad.I'm pregnant with your child" (also known as "The Lover") film adaptation rights, began to refine.Trying to describe and portray the emotional drama between men and women. When he was in the capital, he would occasionally go to Beijing Film Academy to take classes and learn some screenwriting courses. At that time, he really regretted not taking the Beijing Film Academy again.

After completing the construction of the basic structure of the "Lover" script, He Mu found that he hadn't found a good starting point, and was worried that the writing would be messed up, so he put down the adaptation work for the time being. "Female Mischief".He felt that the structure of this short film was very good and had the potential to be adapted into a movie, so he began to write the script by hand. Later, in order to pursue perfection, he recruited two partners, Li Wenhua and Bei Sihan. Finally, the horror short film "Female Stranger" became A series of misunderstandings caused by young couples due to over-sensitivity, which eventually led to the romantic drama "Glass Heart" that the lovers did not get married.

Coincidentally, at the same time when He Mu and the others were adapting "The Female Ghost".Tao Quduo, the author of the original script, is also obsessed with his old work. He always wanted to make it into a complete movie. It would be best to scare everyone who has seen it. However, before he finished the script, he saw He Mu's rewritten script, and then stopped his adaptation work.

It's not that Tao Quduo thinks that his writing is not good. Mu San's writing is good.He thinks that as long as he makes a horror version of the new "Woman" according to his own ideas, it may set a new benchmark for domestic horror films, but after watching "Glass Heart", he feels that this script is the kind that has a wide audience. The one that can maximize the benefits of the original short film, if it is shot according to the script of "Glass Heart".Plus a decent cast, as long as he's still a bit of a director.The box office of this film will not be any worse. The box office of "You Long Xi Feng" has exceeded [-] million, which has proved that love + big star + suitable schedule can create a box office myth.

And if you follow the horror film route, with the current domestic horror film market, a box office of 3000 to [-] million is considered top-notch, and such a box office is obviously not enough to support Tao Qu to make another well-made horror film.

Out of interests, Tao Quduo agreed to adapt the script of "Glass Heart" to "Glass Heart", and the name was also changed to "Glass Heart". Mu still supports Tao Quduo to revise it again by himself, and he can add some of his black style appropriately. This script is not so petty. Although it is about emotion, it also has some heavy things in it. Mu has seen some small experimental clips that Tao Quduo took after "The Female Ghost". His style is quite in line with the temperament of "Glass Heart". In addition, he is the original author, so He Mu is at ease. This script was handed over to him, a new film director. This time, He Mu's determination was much greater than that of "Night Shop". There will be an investment of nearly 300 million yuan, creating a new high in the investment of Shuimu Forest film.

This time, Mizuki decided that why Mu should find a first-line or quasi-first-line actress to act as a supporting role, so the investment may be higher. He Mu is still a producer. He has high requirements for the heroine. First of all, she must be beautiful. This is what all plots can promote. The premise is a beautiful but mysterious girlfriend, a girlfriend who makes the hero feel uneasy. If the heroine is ugly, there is no need to proceed further.

Another requirement that cannot be compromised is that the acting skills should be good, and not just good. This is very important. Both the male protagonist A Liang and the female protagonist Xiaomei have a lot of inner drama. At this time, people who have no acting skills will only follow the script Make some twisted expressions, and those with advanced acting skills can analyze the character's heart through expressions and movements. Compared with acting skills, even whether they are beautiful or not can be temporarily put aside. Women can be beautiful as long as they are well-dressed. There are no ugly women. Only lazy women.

In view of the fact that the heroine's acting skills are too high, He Mu didn't think about Shishi, Yang Mi, Tang Yu and other friends at all. Their acting skills are not bad, but they can't meet He Mu's requirements. For the actresses in the opposite play to not fall behind, these girls in their twenties are obviously far behind, and they still need a few plays to hone their skills.

So this time He Mu is looking for another big sister to act with him, and he really can't think of anyone among his peers.Fortunately, He Mu has gotten used to it. In "Painted Skin", Zhou Xun has emotional entanglements with him, Zhao Wei in "Red Cliff", Lin Zhiling plays his wife in "True Treasure", and the just-concluded "Perfect ", Zhang Ziyi who fell in love with him, and Yan Bingbing who played his younger sister. These actresses are all older than He Mu. He is used to ignoring the age of himself and his opponents, and he is good at acting out the maturity of some 30-year-old men. It also made the young He Mu get a "old-fashioned" evaluation in the circle.

In order to formulate a detailed shooting plan for "Glass Heart", He Mu also brought the two script creators Li Wenhua and Bei Sihan to their internal meeting. In the discussion about the heroine, Bei Sihan first proposed Zhou Xun , "Brother Xun is pretty, and his acting skills are really invincible. Even if he pretends to be young, he won't feel uncomfortable playing Xiaomei. How about it?"

Before He Mu could speak, Chen Li denied it first, "Why don't you talk about Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun's salary has soared to 400 million now, please can't afford it!" Especially sensitive, he hopes to control the investment of this film within 1000 million, and Zhou Xun's salary among young actresses in the mainland should be second only to Zhang Ziyi, even higher than Zhao Wei, I heard that she took over the filming of the company The salary of "The Wind" has reached 400 million, which is more than twice that of another heroine Li Bingbing. The salary of the acting goddess is really not covered.

Although Zhou Xun can add a lot to the film, but the cost is too high, if it is not a blockbuster, He Mu would not consider her. On this point, He Mu supports Chen Li.

"Then who else is suitable?" Bei Sihan muttered, "Anyway, when I was writing the script, Zhou Xun was in my mind."

Li Wenhua picked up the old newspaper on He Mu's desk, "Forbes China Celebrity List, just find it here."

"Hey, that's a good idea." Tao Quduo also joined in. The celebrities on the celebrity list are basically celebrities who have reached a certain level of popularity, and they are all very popular.

While Tao Quduo, Chen Li, and Bei Sihan were checking the celebrity list one by one, He Mu pulled Li Wenhua aside, "Fat, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't I have some spare cash on hand, so I'm going to buy the film adaptation rights of a few novels from you." Script reserves are done by all large film and television companies, and it's not necessary on a small scale like Shuimu Forest. If you buy so much, you may not be able to shoot it. The adaptation rights are time-limited. After this period, the copyright holder can sell them to other people. However, He Mu insists that content is king, and the screenwriting team is immature. It is a good choice to adapt a novel at this time. He believes that as long as there is a good story content, it is not difficult to sell it for money.

"How many books do you want to buy?" Li Wenhua asked. Hulang has published more than one hundred fiction books and holds many copyrights.

"1000 million first."

"Hey, the tone is big enough!"

"That's right, I don't have much else now, but I have a lot of money."

It was just a joke just now, He Mu is not really arrogant enough to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy movie rights, he only won "Du Lala's Promotion" and "Art School Girl" (part 1 and 2) in the end , "My Beautiful Boss" and the adaptation rights of the four novels, the sum of which is probably about two million. Among them, "Du Lala" is probably more than the next three. The specific figure is not immediately available. He took it out, and he said that he would go back and calculate the price at which he would sell it, and his brothers would have to settle the accounts. Even if He Mu was the second shareholder of Tiandi Media, Li Wenhua could not sacrifice the interests of the author. How much he could do in copyright transactions? The price is as high as the selling price, and everything is aimed at making the author live comfortably, even He Mu didn't discuss it.

In the end, Li Wenhua also lured He Mu, "Don't buy more? "Tomb Raider Notes" and "Tibetan Code" are very popular here." (To be continued. (qidian.) m.qidian. Read.)
