The college entrance examination, which affects the whole country, started on time on July 7. This is the last year of college entrance examination scheduled in July. Starting next year, the college entrance examination will be permanently moved to June.
On the day of the college entrance examination, in order for Wang Xinran to perform better, Su Yingxue and her aunt went to the examination room to take the exam. After the full-day exam, Li Mu called Su Yingxue specifically to ask about Wang Xinran's performance on the first day of the college entrance examination. According to her, Wang Xinran's performance in the first two days of the college entrance examination was Ke's performance was quite stable. Li Mu also spoke to Wang Xinran on the phone. In addition to congratulating her on her stable performance today, he also encouraged her to keep up her efforts tomorrow and strive to get the first place in the cultural class of Yanjing Film Academy in one fell swoop.
Wang Xinran agreed with a smile, and said that she hoped that Li Mu could treat her to a big dinner after the college entrance examination. Li Mu readily agreed, and then chatted with Su Yingxue for a few words before hanging up the phone. Li Mu took his personal assistant Li Mu with him. Together with Ziwei, we drove to a five-star hotel in Yanjing to attend the launch meeting of "Crazy Stone".
Ning Hao's long-prepared movie "Crazy Stone" has completed all the preparatory work in Yanjing. Originally, Ning Hao had always wanted to use "A Thief Among Thieves" as the title, but under Li Mu's suggestion, he decided to The same title as "Crazy Stone" was adopted from the previous life.
The crew members responsible for specific location management and shooting coordination have rushed to Yuzhou in advance to prepare for the start of filming. Before the filming started, Ning Hao specially summoned some core members of the crew to hold a mobilization meeting in Yanjing.
It is said that except for Liu Tianwang and a few local actors from Yuzhou and Sichuandu, other actors will participate in this mobilization meeting in Yanjing. Once the meeting is over, everyone will fly to Yuzhou tomorrow to prepare for filming.
In Ning Hao's final cast, Huang Bo was still playing the black skin, Liu Hua was playing the black boss, Xiao Jun was played by another less well-known Yanjing native actor, and the security captain was still Guo Tao. As for the roles of Xu Zheng and Wang Xun, he also found original actors to play them according to his own vision. It can be said that it basically ensures that this core team will not change much from the previous "Crazy Stone", which is relatively obvious. The only change is that the Hong Kong thief Mike is played by Liu Tianwang, and the role of the gangster's girlfriend is changed to Tang Wei, but Li Mu believes that the changes in these two roles will actually enhance the drama.
The so-called mobilization meeting before the start of this time is actually a relatively large-scale dinner, intended to familiarize everyone with each other in advance, and at the same time to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
Originally, a guy like Ning Hao who was the best at saving money would not be able to organize a mobilization rally in such a big way, but he was more capable and had already defrauded millions of advertising fees in advance before turning on the phone. Li Mu did not expect that Ning Hao could actually do it. After receiving so much advertising revenue, I was very happy to add an additional one million yuan to the budget of "Crazy Stone". This additional one million was basically used to improve the crew's soft and hard treatment during the filming in Yuzhou. Better food, better housing, and better uses can be considered a very big benefit, so Ning Hao had the confidence to spend more than 100,000 yuan on such a mobilization meeting.
Li Mu discovered that Ning Hao was not only good at making movies, but also good at doing business. He took Liu Tianwang and Muye Technology together to deceive him, and he actually deceived him into paying more than 6 million in advertising fees in advance, and these more than 6 million Among the 10,000 yuan in advertising fees, the largest sum came from the brand Liu Tianwang had just endorsed - Guirenniao.
Because they have just signed Liu Tianwang to start promoting their own brand awareness, they naturally want to deeply tie it up with Liu Tianwang for marketing. If it is just a movie starring Liu Tianwang, Guirenniao can spend up to one million to buy a product placement in it, which is amazing. But this time, because of the presence of Makino's reflection, Ning Hao forcefully pulled out 3.5 million from Guirenniao's hand.
The reason why Guirenniao is willing to get so much money is also very simple, because they know that once this movie is released, Makino Technology will vigorously promote it. What Guireniao values is the powerful resources behind Makino Technology, and Ning Hao’s advertising placement There is indeed some technical content. After reading the script, the senior management of Guirenniao gave the quotation of 3.5 million after considering many factors.
When Li Mu arrived at the hotel banquet hall on time, the place was already bustling with people. At least dozens of people had arrived and were excitedly tasting various drinks that had just been prepared around the exquisite display table filled with various cocktails. .
Li Mu and Li Ziwei walked in together and saw Ning Hao chatting with a short man with his back to Li Mu from a distance. Ning Hao hadn't seen Li Mu yet. He was holding a cocktail in one hand and laughing with a few girls. When Tang Wei saw Li Mu, he immediately ran up to Li Mu happily, swinging his ponytail, and smiled with his eyes bent: "Oh, Mr. Li, long time no see!"
Tang Wei doesn't have the aura of a goddess at the moment. She looks like a tomboy or a tomboy, but because she is young and beautiful and has no makeup, she looks particularly energetic.
Li Mu greeted her with a smile and asked her: "Miss Tang Wei, you are about to star in your first movie. How do you feel now?"
Tang Wei said with a smile: "I'm so happy! It's summer vacation. There are filming, making money, and you can go to Yuzhou to play, and there are all kinds of hot pots to eat. It's perfect!"
At this time, several of Tang Wei's female classmates from the Central Theater School ran over to say hello to Li Mu. They were all the helpers that Ning Hao had hired during the filming of "Oldboy". Some of them also played guest roles as extras. Ning Hao had always Because he was not recognized for his talent, and because he was studying at a film school, he became very close to the students and those actors who had been buried in the film school. For this big movie, Ning Hao also tried his best to find some young people who were still studying. Helping can provide them with an opportunity to enter the film and television industry.
One of the girls who had played a supporting role in "Oldboy" pouted and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, you are too partial. We all contributed to "Oldboy", but Weiwei was there to eat and drink." Just for fun, why did you give her such an important role and forget about us?"
Tang Wei pointed at his face and asked seriously: "Is my role important? It seems that my role is not even in the top five in the whole drama!"
Li Mu thought about it, no, the three stupid thieves, the security captain, the security captain's younger brother, the son of the jade factory director, and the four-eyed secretary, these people's roles and brilliance are greater than that of Tang Wei's character. Her character's Positioning serves as an introduction to the entire drama.
At this time, several girls smiled and said to Tang Wei: "Weiwei, Mr. Li likes you so much. I think it won't be long before he will invest in a movie and ask you to be the heroine!"
Tang Wei's face turned slightly red: "You guys, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense!"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, you must stop talking nonsense. I have a girlfriend after all."
Several girls' eyes lit up: "Mr. Li, if I can handle this handsome guy like you, your girlfriend must be very beautiful, right?"
Li Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That's quite beautiful."
While chatting with a few girls, Ning Hao saw Li Mu, dragging the man chatting with him all the way over and ran over. He came and patted Li Mu's arm gently. Li Mu turned around and saw him, and then saw him next to him. The man with a rather reserved expression immediately widened his eyes.
Oh my god, Huang Bo!
This is one of Li Mu's favorite mainland actors, and one of the few god-level actors in mainland China in his eyes. But now he is just a little actor and bar singer with no reputation at all. He can be selected by Ning Hao and have the opportunity to participate in the show. He was very flattered to act in this movie and play the male lead in it. When he came to Yanjing and this five-star hotel, he had not yet adjusted immediately. But now, facing Li Mu, a billionaire The rich man made him even more embarrassed.
Ning Hao said: "Mr. Li, let me introduce to you. This is the actor I have been talking about, Huang Bo. He played the second male lead in "Get in the Car and Let's Go" before."
After finishing speaking, he said to Huang Bo: "Huang Bo, this is Mr. Li. Mr. Li has watched your performance in "Get in the Car and Let's Go". He was very impressed by you. I proposed to choose you for the role of Dark Eyes." When the time came, Mr. Li agreed without hesitation.”
Surprised, Huang Bo was a little nervous and wanted to raise his hand, but he only raised his arm slightly and quickly put it down again. He rubbed his hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, I have admired your name for a long time..."
Tang Wei on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence. What does it mean to have admired your name for a long time? Isn't this a sick sentence
Huang Bo heard Tang Wei laughing and realized that he had said the wrong thing. Just when he didn't know how to respond, Li Mu took the initiative to reach out to him and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Huang, I'm very happy to meet you for the first time. I'm so happy that you can join the "Crazy Stone" movie."
Huang Bo didn't expect Li Mu to be so arrogant. He was not only polite, but also took the initiative to shake his hand. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake Li Mu's hand and said nervously: "Well... Mr. Li, you are too polite... Thank you for giving me this opportunity." …”
Huang Bo's not-so-standard Mandarin with a Qilu accent made Li Mu feel particularly friendly. Although he was not from Qilu, he had watched too many movies and TV dramas with Huang Bo's accent, and was quite familiar with Huang Bo's accent, especially " A scene in "Crazy Stone": Huang Bo and Xiao Jun carried the box containing Xie Xiaomeng into the guest house. When they met Guo Tao who came to help him, he used the Qilu version of Mandarin: "You have eaten, brother...", every time The first time he saw this place, Li Mu couldn't help but marvel.
Facing the somewhat nervous Huang Bo, Li Mu said with a smile: "Ning Hao and I are very optimistic about you. This movie is the beginning of our cooperation. If we all have a good cooperation with this movie, we will have more movies in the future." Cooperation opportunities, if you are interested in signing Makino Imaging, I can guarantee you to make a movie every year for the next five years!"
