Before coming to Shanghai, Li Mu instinctively thought that Wei Jun's matter was just a matter of one sentence to the leader. However, when he actually sat down and chatted with him, Li Mu realized how difficult it was to operate. .
This is like the difference between ordinary people driving drunk and celebrities driving drunk. If an ordinary person with little influence is detained for drunk driving for six months, it will be very easy to find connections and release him in ten and a half months. But if an influential person If a big star is detained for six months for drunk driving, then the whole society will keep a close eye on him. Even if he is released one day early, he must give public opinion and the public a reasonable explanation, otherwise someone will definitely catch him.
Wei Jun is not an ordinary person. He is a well-known real estate developer who was once worth billions and is quite famous in Shanghai. There are many people paying attention to his case. Some of these people wish him well, some hope that he will die, and some Some are just out of curiosity. It is really difficult to bail him out at this time, and the pressure he has to face is not small.
Fortunately this time, Li Mu could solve all the requests made by the other party, but Li Mu could also see that the other party knew his situation very well, and the two substantive conditions were well-targeted.
I have both doctoral student quotas for Nobel Prize winners and roles in "Flying Tigers", and the social costs of these two resources are indeed not low, especially the former. If you are not qualified enough and want to get I'm afraid spending hundreds or tens of millions of dollars to solve this additional quota is enough. The latter is also the biggest good opportunity for the Chinese film and television industry in recent years. The popularity of "Flying Tigers" in China is now Everyone knows.
For the two corresponding young people, these two opportunities cannot be measured in terms of money, because they are both very rare and good opportunities on the road of life that can bring qualitative changes to people.
After Wei Lan heard what Li Mu said, she only asked Li Mu: "The first two conditions didn't put you in trouble, did they?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and comforted her: "Of course it won't be difficult. The president of Harvard is the most worried about me now. He is eager to do something for me to restore my attitude towards him. As for "Flying Tigers", a few A character with only one line should not have a big impact on the movie. After all, the other person is also a professional actor. I believe he should be able to handle this task. If he is not, then shoot more plots related to him. Several times, dozens of times, spending a little more cost can always solve the problem of quality."
Wei Lan's last hanging string was also loosened, which did not make Li Mu too embarrassed. This was the most gratifying thing for her besides the perfect resolution of her father's matter.
Holding Li Mu in her arms, Wei Lan suddenly wrapped around his body like an octopus, and took the initiative to kiss Li Mu. While untying his belt with her hands, she sprayed hot air on his ears and temples, and gasped: "I don't know what happened, but now I just want to reward you."
Li Mu picked her up, responded to her kiss, and walked towards the bedroom. He was very pleased that Wei Lan used reward instead of gratitude or repayment. She was his woman, and the word reward was really used. So accurate.
In the bedroom, when the two were about to engage in a close fight, Wei Lan's stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound of varying lengths. In a bedroom with only two people, this special sound was extremely obvious.
Li Mu stopped what he was doing, looked at Wei Lan in surprise, and asked her, "Why is your stomach protesting? Are you hungry?"
Wei Lan said a little shyly: "It's not hungry... I don't know what's wrong with it..."
As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach rumbled again.
"to be honest."
Seeing Li Mu looking at her without blinking, Wei Lan blushed and whispered, "I haven't had dinner, I'm really hungry now."
"Why don't you have dinner? Didn't you say you were going to the restaurant you used to go to?"
"I didn't have much appetite at the time. I just wanted to wait for you to come back."
Li Mu sighed helplessly, kissed her forehead gently, and said, "Get dressed and go out to eat."
Wei Lan hesitated for a moment, then said with a pretty face: "I can hold on..."
"Go now, don't worry, and remember to call uncle to make him happy too."
Seeing that Li Mu was not joking, Wei Lan could only nod obediently and obediently.
At around six o'clock in the morning, Los Angeles time, Wei Jun and his wife were still dreaming. The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang loudly. Wei Jun's wife felt light-headed. When she woke up first, she recognized that it was his wife's cell phone. , then pushed him and said: "Husband, husband, phone."
Wei Jun opened his eyes drowsily, but his mind was still asleep, so he muttered unhappily: "Who is it? It's so annoying to be on the phone at this time!"
Seeing that he didn't really wake up, my wife hurriedly pushed him a few more times and said, "Wake up, call! It's probably my daughter who's calling at this time!"
"Ah? My daughter's phone number?" Wei Jun finally woke up, hurriedly sat up, grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Lanlan."
"What?"
"real?!"
"Dad is here. Dad is here. Dad is just too excited..."
"Dad didn't cry. You heard wrong. It's too late for Dad to be happy. How could he cry..."
Wei Jun's wife was surprised when she heard this. She sat up and took a look. His wife's face was turned to one side. He was holding a mobile phone in one hand and covering the microphone with the other. His whole body was shaking. When he looked at his face again, his facial features were all visible at this moment. They were already twisted together, and I burst into tears...
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Wei Jun's wife had never seen him behave like this before, and asked distressedly.
Wei Jun hurriedly wiped his tears, waved to his wife, adjusted his voice, and said to Wei Lan on the phone: "Thank you Li Mu for me, thank him, your mother and I are grateful!"
Then, he added: "Your mother and I will be preparing in the past few days, and I will let you know when the time is set."
His wife didn't know what happened to him, and was about to ask, but Wei Jun had already hung up the phone, looked at his wife with tears in his eyes, and said with a choked voice: "My wife, pack up, we are going to go back to China to reunite with my daughter!"
…
After settling Wei Jun's matter, Li Mu was in no hurry to return to Yanjing.
Wei Lan originally wanted to go back to work as soon as possible, but Li Mu insisted that she stay in Shanghai with him. He said that he wanted Wei Lan to take her around Shanghai and see some of the charm of old Shanghai. , taste some authentic Shanghai flavors. In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to accompany Wei Lan in Shanghai to search for her good memories of the past, and let her completely relax for a few days.
In the past few days, Wei Lan has indeed relaxed completely. Every day, she and Li Mu wear a thick mask and a couple's peaked cap and go to the streets. She holds Li Mu's hand and walks through the streets of Shanghai, looking for her childhood and teenage years. The memory of that period made every second of these days feel extremely happy and joyful to her.
Interestingly, because Li Mu's recent whereabouts are relatively secretive, few people in China know that he has returned to China. However, because the "Flying Tigers" press conference in Hollywood some time ago really created too much influence in China, So the entire film and television industry is playing a game called "finding Li Mu" or "asking someone to find Li Mu".
The production team, behind-the-scenes capital, publicity and distribution channels, historical significance and Li Mu's global influence of "Flying Tigers" have all made this movie aroused by audiences around the world, especially domestic audiences, and the domestic film and television industry has been We are paying attention to a very important issue, that is: "Flying Tigers" has not revealed any Chinese actors so far!
For the Chinese film and television industry, this is simply the most talked about topic in recent times.
For a movie that depicts Americans and Chinese resisting the Japanese together, there is no doubt that this movie must have at least American and Chinese actors. Now that the key starring actors from the United States have been finalized, the rest are domestic actors. .
Almost everyone in China knows that if they can get an important role in this movie and perform it well, they will not only become famous among the Chinese audience, but they can even successfully break into Hollywood with this movie. But it is a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step. It can even be said that it is the most beneficial opportunity to become famous in the nearly hundred years of Chinese film history.
The mobile phone that Li Mu used at the beginning is no longer in use. Apart from relatives and friends, only some very close partners know the current mobile phone number, so no one in the domestic film and television industry can call him. Here, director Ning Hao, who is closest to Li Mu, has become the target of the entire film and television industry.
In the past few days, Ning Hao's mobile phone has been almost smashed. During this period, there are more people who want to treat him to dinner than in the previous thirty years combined. These people all hope to get in touch with Li Mu through themselves. of.
What makes him feel even more incredible is that some big-name directors in the industry are also trying to contact him. Some directly express their demands, and some ask others to take the lead. In short, they are all targeting the executive director. with the position of Assistant Director.
There is no doubt that the visible rewards of being an executive director or assistant director for such a movie are extremely rich.
First of all, just like actors, this is a good opportunity to spread their fame to the world;
Secondly, unlike actors, there are so many things that can be learned from such a top Hollywood crew. With the current situation where Hollywood movies are dominating the world, just spending a day on the set with a Hollywood photographer, They can all have a deeper understanding of lens language such as color, distance, depth of field, and movement trajectory;
Thirdly, participating in Hollywood film production gives you access to the best upstream and downstream resources in the entire industry, which is of great significance to domestic directors.
In addition, there are more well-known, less well-known and completely unknown actors. They almost annoy Ning Hao to death. Every day, countless actors approach him, male actors call him brothers, and The actress spoke to Ning Hao, and her voice was so numb that it could kill half of her life. What's even more outrageous is that most of the actresses took the initiative to make it clear to Ning Hao that as long as he could help them win a role in this movie, They can accept all kinds of unspoken rules.
Ning Hao almost collapsed. In the eyes of those big names, he was just a bad guy in the film and television industry. He finally made a big movie and prepared it for release. However, Li Mu postponed the release date indefinitely. , but never in my wildest dreams did I expect that I would become famous in the film and television industry overnight, and the popularity would be so hot that I would turn purple.
However, Ning Hao is not satisfied with this feeling at all. He just feels that if Boss Li Mu doesn't finalize the actors for this movie, then he will be forced to live in seclusion in the mountains by these guys!
