Wei Lan asked Li Mu about the movie "The Man and the Dog in the Mountain", and Li Mu instantly understood what she meant.
Li Mu asked her: "Are you talking about the actor named Liu Ye?"
"Yes." Wei Lan nodded happily: "You know him."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I know, I've seen this movie."
Thinking of Liu Ye, what impressed Li Mu the most was not him, but his pair of mixed-race children. At some point, Li Mu once watched a variety show called "Where Are We Going, Dad?" in which Liu Ye's children gave him It left a very good impression, but if you think about Liu Ye carefully, this actor is actually quite suitable for this role.
Liu Ye's acting skills are basically passable. Among actors of similar age, his acting skills can be regarded as top-notch. Although he is not as good as Huang Bo's acting, his appearance and temperament are good. It is also better than Huang Bo, and he has acted in several war movies, and the overall temperament and feeling of the military image he played in them are very good.
Thinking about it carefully, the actor Liu Ye seems to really meet the requirements of the Chinese male protagonist in "Flying Tigers". His acting skills, appearance, temperament and feeling are basically OK. However, the only thing that Li Mu is not sure about is the actor's current appearance. If he were to play the male protagonist in "Flying Tigers" based solely on the feeling he had in "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog", he would still be a little less enthusiastic and look a lot more immature.
Wei Lan thought that Li Mu felt that Liu Ye was not suitable, so she said: "Although this actor has not been in the industry for a long time, to be honest, I feel that his acting skills are still very good, and his temperament also meets the requirements. You can watch his other films and TV shows. Works, there is a very good movie that depicts gay emotions, you can watch it if you have time."
Li Mu said awkwardly: "The movie you are talking about is called "Lan Yu", right?"
Wei Lan was surprised: "Have you seen it?"
Li Mu shook his head: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it, and I don't like that subject either."
Li Mu is actually a standard straight man. Although he has no prejudice against other people's sexual orientation, he is an out-and-out straight man, so he can't make any mention of this kind of gay romance movie. He was not interested and didn't even have the courage to watch it. Not to mention "Lan Yu", he had never watched even the famous "Brokeback Mountain".
Wei Lan saw the repulsion in Li Mu's expression and said with a smile: "If you don't like this kind of movie, you can watch one of his new TV series called "What can I do to save you, my love"? This drama is Teacher Haiyan’s work was just broadcast in January.”
Li Mu smiled and said, "It seems you pay a lot of attention to this actor."
Wei Lan nodded: "It's not bad. I think he is better than other actors of the same age. I can't say I like him, but I feel good."
Li Mu nodded. Judging from Liu Ye's overall conditions, he really couldn't think of anyone more suitable than him.
So, Li Mu said to Wei Lan, "I'll think about it and make a backup plan first. I can ask him to meet him when I return to Yanjing."
Wei Lan said: "If you really want him to play this role, you must first sign him to Makino Video. Not just him, but all the Chinese actors you decide to use, except for the extras, if you have a small role, try to get them." Sign it."
"I understand." Li Mu said: ""Flying Tigers" may become an epoch-making masterpiece in domestic commercial films. The actors must be signed in advance to avoid making wedding dresses for others."
Wei Lan said: "How about we stop being delayed in Shanghai and go back to Yanjing early tomorrow morning."
Li Mu thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "That's fine, there are still many things to prepare for returning to Beijing."
With that said, Li Mu asked Wei Lan: "Do you want to buy a bigger house? It will be more convenient for my uncle and aunt to live together after they return to China."
Wei Lan smiled and said, "Let my dad buy it when he comes. He is much richer than me."
Li Mu nodded, and then called Li Ziwei and asked her to communicate with the business jet company and fly back to Yanjing early tomorrow morning. During this period, Li Mu's travels were basically all chartered flights. Although the cost was relatively high, it was completely satisfactory to him. It's a no-brainer, and the privacy and flexibility of charter flights are really unparalleled. It's much more convenient than taking civil flights.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Chen Ze's call came in. When the call was answered, Chen Ze asked Li Mu: "Have you returned to Yanjing?"
"not yet."
"Good guys." Chen Ze joked: "You two are addicted to living in a two-person world in Shanghai, aren't you?"
Li Mu glanced at Wei Lan, laughed, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful if others hear you."
"Don't worry, I'm in my office." Chen Ze said, and then said: "Oh, by the way, let's get down to business. Didn't you ask me to introduce you to the person in charge of the veterans' immortality project last time?"
"Yeah, didn't you say there was a suitable girl? The one who went to the North and South poles and Africa."
"Yes, yes." Chen Ze said: "I just contacted her. She just arrived in Shanghai today and will attend a charity auction in Shanghai in the evening. I called you to ask if you are still in Shanghai. Since Are you interested in meeting her?"
"Okay." Li Mu said without hesitation: "Please make an appointment for me and let's meet and chat in the evening."
Chen Zedao: "OK, I didn't tell her too much. I just said that a friend wanted to find a charity project leader and asked her if she was interested. She said we could chat, but I didn't tell her who it was, just in case. She didn't keep her mouth shut and caused you more trouble."
Li Mu then said: "Then let's make an appointment to talk in person."
Chen Zedao: "Li Tong is also in Shanghai. His Fayue Restaurant has opened a branch in Shanghai. It just opened half a month ago. During this time, he has been keeping an eye on Shanghai. I think you can go directly to his place." Come on."
Li Mu said in surprise: "Li Tong opened a store in Shanghai? Why didn't I hear about it?"
Chen Ze smiled and said: "You are a busy man, who would tell you such a thing? Even Li Tong himself would not tell you."
With that said, Chen Ze added: "Just go to his place. I'll give him a call and let him prepare. When you leave, you can take a photo with him and sign his name so that he can hang it up in the store to show off. , when I had dinner with him last time, he said that he didn’t expect to take a photo with you in advance, but you suddenly became famous at home and abroad, and he couldn’t see you anymore.”
Li Mu smiled helplessly: "Okay, then help me tell him and tell that girl."
Chen Ze said: "That sister's name is Liu Xinxin. She is from the third generation of Miaohong. Her family background is quite impressive. She is twenty-six this year. She is several years older than you. She has a straight temper. She used to be able to influence everything in the fashion industry. The reason why I left this circle seems to be related to charity, but I haven't discussed it with her in detail, you can have a good chat with her."
"Three generations?" Upon hearing this word, Li Mu instinctively frowned.
Chen Ze immediately said: "Don't think too much. Although it is true that he is the third generation, he is really different from the ordinary second and third generations. He is a very pragmatic person, and he has a great personality and is vigorous and resolute in doing things. I originally wanted to ask for help." She helped with the CSC club, but the sisters looked down on her and said that such a big party for a dandy was not suitable for her. So as soon as you said you wanted to find someone to help with charity, I introduced her to you. ”
Li Mu nodded, thinking that he would wait until he met and talked about the specific situation, so he said to Chen Zi, "OK, let's talk first."
…
Chen Ze quickly helped Li Mu make an appointment with the other party. Because she had to attend the charity auction before she had time, Chen Ze made an appointment at nine o'clock in the evening, so Li Mu took Wei Lan to have a meal first. After the Hangzhou cuisine that she longed for was sent home, accompanied by Wang Yuanlang, she took a bus to Fayue Restaurant in Shanghai.
Li Tong was extremely excited when he heard that Li Mu was coming and insisted on driving to pick him up in person. Li Mu persuaded him to give up the idea, and then he sent the address of the store to Li Mu.
Fa Yue Restaurant in Shanghai is located on the edge of the Bund. It is the best location in Shanghai. When Li Mu arrived, Li Tong ran out to greet him in person. After saying a few polite words to Li Mu, he took him directly to the second floor of the restaurant. layer.
Since the restaurant is located on the Huangpu River, almost the entire second floor is covered with large floor-to-ceiling windows, giving you an unobstructed view of the surrounding night view. Sitting in a row along the river to eat can enjoy the entire night view at close range, which is absolutely extraordinary.
However, to Li Mu's surprise, the first floor of the restaurant was almost full at this time, but there was not a single table of customers on the entire second floor. Li Mu asked Li Tong why, and Li Tong smiled and said, "Old Chen said you were coming. I vacated the second floor in advance."
Li Mu said hurriedly: "It's so troublesome and affects your normal business. I'm so sorry."
Li Tong smiled and said: "You can wear a mask into my store, but you can't wear a mask to eat, right? If there weren't many customers who made dinner reservations today, I would have wished to suspend business today."
As he said that, Li Tong added: "We are all brothers, so don't be too outspoken. And let me tell you the truth. Brother, I have been looking forward to your visit for a long time. Give me this little Mention the popularity of the store, and I’ll have someone bring the camera over later to take some photos for you, and then I’ll hang them on the wall so I can brag to other customers.”
Li Mu laughed and said, "It would be too embarrassing just to take pictures of me hanging on the wall alone. Let's take some group photos."
Li Tong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, I couldn't ask for it! From now on, you will be the spokesperson of Fayue Restaurant, but brother, I won't give you any endorsement fees."
As soon as the two of them were chatting and laughing, Li Tong sent someone to get a camera to take some photos of the two of them. Li Mu didn't object to this at all. They were already friends. When they went to Fa Yue Restaurant in Yanjing before, Li Tong did give him a lot of face. , this time I came here and made such a fuss, it was natural to take a few photos for in-store promotion, and Li Mu deliberately came twenty minutes early, just to make some time to catch up with Li Tong.
Li Tong introduced the restaurant and the scenery of the Bund outside the restaurant to Li Mu. One of his assistants held a camera and captured a few photos of the two of them talking and laughing. Li Mu and Li Tong looked at them together, and the two selected three or five photos that made them feel good. Yes, Li Tong let the man take the camera and leave. Li Tong then asked Li Mu to sit down at an empty table, poured Li Mu a glass of lemonade, and said with a smile: "I heard from Lao Chen, you want Invite Liu Xinxin to dinner?"
Li Mu asked him curiously: "Do you know him too?"
"More than just acquaintance." Li Tong said with a smile, "I have been her die-hard fan for many years."
