China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 68 Advance
At around nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Mingde Building.

Li Mu was sitting in his office drinking tea. The tea was from Maojian. Last time he went to the office of Deputy Director Han Sanping of China Film Group, the assistant of Deputy Director Han brewed this tea for Li Mu.

At that time, Li Mu praised a few words casually, saying that the tea is delicious, one sip is refreshing, and when he is about to leave, Han Sanping asks Li Mu to take a can and drink it slowly by himself. He said that after drinking, he still has a lot here.

Li Mu originally refused to take anything. Every time he went to China Film Group, he went empty-handed, and took away a pot of tea from Director Han. Down.

He bought Maojian tea for his father Li Yuansheng before, and he remembered that the market price was around 50 yuan per catty, and some of the better ones sold for several hundred yuan per catty.Fortunately, the things are not very expensive, otherwise he would not really bring them back no matter what he said, but in line with the principle of reciprocity, he will remember to bring some special gifts when he goes to China Film Group next time.

He has already told Liu Siying, as for what to bring, Liu Siying will help Li Mu figure it out.

"Mr. Li, Liu Yifei's mother and daughter will be here soon, I'll meet them at the door." At this time, Liu Siying pushed the door open and came in.

Li Mu nodded: "I'll wait for you at the door of the company."

Liu Siying nodded and turned to leave. Li Mu also stood up immediately. First, she simply tidied up her appearance, and then walked to the door of the company to wait for Liu Yifei's mother and daughter to come up.

Ten minutes later, Liu Siying led Liu Yifei's mother and daughter out of the elevator. Both mother and daughter were wearing masks and sunglasses today. Liu Yifei was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, while Liu Xiaoli was wearing a dark skirt with a gray upper body. shawl.

It seems that the mother's dress is more fashionable and tasteful than the daughter's dress.

"Aunt Liu, it's not true."

"Mr. Li."

"Director Li."

"Let's talk slowly in the office."

Li Mu led the mother and daughter to the office. When passing by the office area, the employees of Huashang cast curious eyes.

At this time, several of Liu Yifei's most important TV series have been released in mainland China, especially the Jin Yong drama "The Legend of Condor Heroes" released this year, which made Liu Yifei popular all over the country, and his popularity reached a very terrifying level.Now that such a big star suddenly appeared in his small company, the employees couldn't help but become extremely excited. These are good materials for bragging with friends in the future.

When they came to the office, Liu Siying made tea for Liu Yifei's mother and daughter, while Li Mu chatted with the mother and daughter for a while before getting down to business.He ordered Liu Siying to take Liu Yifei to another office to read the script, while he continued to chat with Liu Xiaoli in his office.

"Mr. Li, I haven't had time to officially congratulate you. "Assassin" has achieved great success worldwide. In the past few months, the entire entertainment circle has been talking about Mr. Li's "Assassin", which has a global box office of 3.55 million US dollars. The No. 1 director of Huaxia, even the films directed by Zhang Yimou and Li Min are far less popular than Mr. Li's films."

"I was also lucky. The first script I wrote was picked up by Brother Cheng Long. "Assassin" was co-starred by Cheng Long and Li Lian, two kung fu superstars. The success of "Hurricane Rescue" and "Assassin" Long and Li Lianlian are the biggest contributors, I just happened to meet them."

"You can't say that. Cheng Long and Li Lianlian also have many not-so-good works. In addition to these two movies, Mr. Li also has "The Hunger Games". I know better than anyone how popular this book is in the United States. , Mr. Li is young and promising is recognized in the circle, no one will deny this."

Li Mu smiled: "Aunt Liu has won the prize."

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli changed the subject and said, "Mr. Li thinks that Ye Fei is suitable for this role?"

"It's not that the image is suitable, and there are many similarities between the character's experience and the role. In the script setting, the heroine is a Chinese who grew up in the United States. The story begins in the United States, and it is not the United States. The experience of life and study, from this point of view, Yefei is still very suitable. The shortcoming of Yefei is that her acting skills need to be strengthened, and her popularity among European and American audiences is not very high. "Hurricane Rescue" is Cheng Long. It's a movie for one person, and the daughter played by him is not very good, and there are not many scenes."

After listening carefully, Liu Xiaoli said: "Yifei's acting skills really need to be improved, but fortunately, Yifei has worked very hard in this area. As a mother, I have always noticed her progress. When I was working on a masterpiece, many of the actors I found were not professional actors. At that time, several directors put the character's image and temperament in the most important position. If the character's image and temperament are suitable, everything else can be made up for by the director's on-site training. .”

Li Mu nodded slightly, what Liu Xiaoli said made sense, that's why Li Mu promised Liu Yifei and her daughter to come over today.

"Actually, Yifei likes you very much." Liu Xiaoli suddenly looked at Li Mudao, "Every time I talk to Yifei about Director Li, Yifei always shows an expression of admiration. On the contrary, when I talk to her about Brother Hu, Huang Xiaoming , Lin Zhiying, this girl had a boring expression that had nothing to do with her. By the way, Mr. Li, you may not know, but you are also a loyal book fan, especially the book "The Hunger Games" by Mr. Li. I really like it."

"Really?" Li Mu heard that he was in a good mood, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Of course it's true. You didn't come to the coming-of-age ceremony last time. She was disappointed for a long time."

Li Mu and Liu Xiaoli chatted while drinking tea, and the chat was very speculative, and 45 minutes passed without knowing it. At this time, Liu Yifei finally finished reading the script and came to Li Mu's office from Liu Siying's office.

"Director Li, I like the role of Lucy very much, and I think this role is very suitable for me, will Director Li give me this chance?" Liu Yifei said directly after seeing Li Mu again.

Li Mu did not directly agree: "Our Huashang family is not the only investor in this movie. In addition, there are Xiying, Bernard, Huayi and China Film. Might need a formal audition."

Liu Yifei nodded: "I will seriously prepare."

Liu Yifei's mother and daughter sat in Huashang for about half an hour. During this time, Liu Yifei and Li Mu chatted about the plot of "The Hunger Games". It could be heard that the girl really liked this book, and then the mother and daughter left left.

As a result, just a few days later, Liu Yifei received another invitation to audition for the heroine of "The King of Kung Fu", which made Liu Yifei extremely entangled all of a sudden.

On the one hand, she really likes the script of "Super Body", on the other hand, "The King of Kung Fu" is starring Cheng Long and Li Lian, two kung fu superstars. For a girl who is just 18 years old, she can be with these two superstars. Cooperation, but also the heroine, this cast lineup, this kind of role, Liu Yifei's mentality was at a loss at the time.

The vanity in my heart was greatly satisfied.

Li Lianhua participated in the movie of Cheng Long and Li Lian, what is she like now?Which domestic actress doesn't want to copy Li Lianhua's success?
After struggling for three whole days, Liu Yifei finally decided to fight for the role of Golden Swallow in "The King of Kung Fu".

At the same time, Li Mu also officially invited several main actors for "Super Body".

First of all, the role of Dr. Norman in the original movie, Li Mu still plans to invite Morgan Freeman to play this role. He will not refuse Li Mu's invitation.

The second is the role of Mr. Zhang, the boss of the Korean gangster. Li Mu plans to invite Sun Honglei to give it a try. He is quite comfortable playing this kind of role.

Again, it is the role of the French police boss in the original movie. Because Li Mu changed the French role to Xiangjiang, so this time he plans to find a Xiangjiang actor to play this role.

Liang Jiahui is not bad, Li Mu has already contacted Cheng Long, asking Cheng Long to help lead the line.

The last is the candidate for the heroine. After the news spread that the heroine of Li Muxin’s movie is yet to be determined, many actresses in the industry are trying their best to win the role. Among them, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin and Li Lianhua are the most active. Li Lianhua made an appointment for a time and place to have dinner together.
