Big names rise

After chatting about this topic, He Mu and Xu Zheng made an appointment to meet in Shanghai. After reading the script, Shanghai is Xu Zheng's hometown, and it's not far from the crew of "Zibuyu". He Mu just came out at night. , Go back early the next morning, and there is no need to delay the filming of the movie.

After reading the script called "Tai囧", He Mu is very satisfied. Although the structure of the script is not as amazing as Ning Hao's Crazy series, but the jokes are still very good, and it is simple. It doesn't look like the Crazy series. Older people should be quite tired watching Ning Hao's movies, but the script of "Lost in Thailand" is suitable for a wider audience.

In "Lost in Thailand", there are a total of three main characters and one guest star. Yan Bingbing, who is a tentative guest star, is also written according to Yan Bingbing. If Yan Bingbing disagrees, He Mu can use his relationship to contact Liu Yifei or Zhang Ziyi.The protagonist Xu Lang must have been played by Xu Zheng, and Wang Bao's role was tailor-made for Bao Qiang. He Mu asked who was chosen for Gao Bo's role.

"I decided on Wang Xun."

He Mu nodded, "Teacher Wang's acting is good, but he is a soldier, and it is more troublesome to go to the congress. I suggest Huang Bo, whose reputation and appeal are much stronger."

"I'm afraid the budget will increase again."

"Mr. Huang Bo's remuneration is still affordable for Mizuki." He Mu smiled.

"That means you agreed to invest." Xu Zheng said pleasantly. It only took more than 20 minutes from when they sat down to when He Mu made a decision.

"The script is good and the director is reliable. I have nothing to worry about. Director Xu and Mizuki are welcome to cooperate." He Mu does not drag his feet at all.The decision was made on the spot to invest in Xu Zheng's "Lost in Thailand". As for the amount of investment and the distribution of benefits.Chen Li and Xu Zheng can talk about details such as shooting schedule and publicity plan slowly, and He Mu never cares about these details.

After talking about "Lost in Thailand", He Mu didn't have much trouble. Even if it was a small investment in 2012, he would meet Xu Zheng in person instead of filming Chen Li to talk to him because he and Xu Zheng were friends.Show yourself that you value yourself.

In the new year, Shuimu Forest will focus on big-budget films and actively expand into the international market. The company has abundant cash flow.Many big projects will be launched, and the proportion of such low-cost commercial films will decrease, and perhaps there will be a preference for niche literary films that do not make much money, with the current profit level of Shuimu Forest against the sky.Appropriate bloodletting is more beneficial to physical and mental health.

After returning to the crew.The filming had come to an end, and He Mu took the time to ask Dewey Cook how the script of the monster disaster he mentioned before was going.

"I keep writing, I keep writing, you wait."

After a while, Dewey came to He Mu with three scripts and Lan Mingzhu.

"Uh, what does this mean?"

Dewey said, "Here are three scripts. Most of them were written by myself, but this "Tianchi Monster" was created by me and Zhuzi together. If the boss takes a fancy to this one, Zhuzi also has a share of the credit." Well."

Lan Mingzhu smiled innocently. He Mu knew that he was from Ji`lin, and his home was near the Tianchi Lake. He must be very familiar with the legend of the Tianchi water monster. He saved the trouble of collecting materials for the creation of the script. .

Dewey wrote a total of three immature scripts. After all, he grew up in the United States. Although he can speak Chinese fluently, this is the first time he has written a script in Chinese. There are too many things to complain about, and there are many differences. Approaches suitable for Chinese-language films, such as the personal heroism that makes people get goosebumps, are suitable for American superheroes, but for Chinese people, there is always a feeling that they cannot accept it. These three scripts are far from the ones that can be shot. There is still a long way to go for a mature script.

His first script was Tianchi Water Monster, which is very famous in China, and the script is written with large scenes and layouts, adhering to the tradition of Hollywood monster movies that must destroy the city. The Tianchi Water Monster in the script comes from the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain Crawled out of the hole and smashed Baishan City to pieces.

The monsters written in the second script are also very famous. They are Shennongjia savages with a long history and many explorers. However, savages are much smaller than water monsters, but they are taller and more powerful than humans. Compared with water monsters, their destructive power is also incomparable. The video effect is not shocking enough, but it has a strong sense of suspense, and the savages are elusive, which catches people off guard. It may be more suitable if it is made into a horror movie.

The monster in the third script was much less famous. It was a blue python discovered during the development and construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Dewey noted on the first page of the script that this idea was based on a piece of news he saw. The monster The prototype is the giant python with a length of tens of meters in the news, but in the script he changed it to the Jiaolong in traditional Chinese mythology. Western disaster films talk too much about giant pythons, and it has long been out of novelty. Therefore, based on his understanding of traditional Chinese culture, Dewey invented this evil dragon that hinders the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.

It took He Mu an hour to read through the three scripts in a hurry, and he first praised, "During more than three months on the set, you will be an assistant director and manage the set during the day, so the script must be written in spare time. The first part is very good, I didn't expect you to come up with three copies at once, which really impressed me."

"However, after all, this is your first time writing a Chinese script. I know that you have studied some classic Chinese film scripts in Beijing Film Academy, but reading and writing are different. In addition, you wrote in a hurry in order to catch up with time. There are some The details are handled properly, such as the Shennongjia Savage here..."

He Mu basically does not need to sleep, and the two assistant directors are also full of energy today. Although He Mu is young, he is indeed a successful director. His "Zi Bu Yu 1" is the highest box office in the world For Chinese films, both of them learned a lot of knowledge that they didn't have in class in his "Zi Bu Yu" crew, and benefited a lot, especially Lan Mingzhu, who has followed He Mu since his debut, can be regarded as He Mu's They have passed on their disciples personally, their relationship is like Tsui Hark and Chen Jiashang, Chen Jiashang and Lin Chaoxian, they can listen to He Mu's teachings all night, listen to him talk about scripts, filming, and the market, for them, they can avoid a lot of detours.

In the end, He Mu told Dewey that he would buy these three scripts in the name of Mizuki, and then upgrade them, and promised that one of them would be handed over to Dewey himself. Dewey knew that even if he returned to the United States, he would not be sure There will be such a good opportunity, but he can do it in China and Mizuki, and he also likes China. The food here is so delicious, and the girls here are so gentle. He even thinks that if He Mu can really fulfill his dream of being a director, then Staying in China forever seems like a good option too...(To be continued...)
