"Didn't Director Li arrange a new movie for Yifei recently? Strike while the iron is hot."

After discussing "BJ Meets Seattle", Xue Xiaolu asked with a chuckle.

"I was just going to find something for her to do."

After Li Mu finished speaking, Liu Yifei's eyes were full of questions.

Xue Xiaolu originally just said it casually, but she didn't expect that Li Mu was really prepared for this, and suddenly he was very interested.

"A few years ago, Mengying Media bought the film and television adaptation rights of a book by Xinyiwu, and the script has been adapted. I feel that there are not many suitable directors. Director Xue, you and Xixi should both be suitable."

Li Mu smiled.

"It's the book "To Our Mortal Youth," right."

Xue Xiaolu had also heard about it, and everyone in the industry knew that Zhao Yanzi wanted to buy the copyright before, but unfortunately Mengying Media wouldn't let it go.

"Yifei is more suitable for youth movies."

Xue Xiaolu smiled lightly and said that she was no longer a newcomer, but she still liked more challenging movies, and youth movies were still too simple.

"What about the script? What about the script?"

Liu Yifei was very excited and quickly asked Li Mu for help.

"You should like this script."

"I also think Effie would like this story a little more."

Xue Xiaolu agreed, of course she had read this book.

"why?"

Liu Yifei was confused because she didn't know why the two of them were so sure.

"Because this story is slightly more literary, and the ending is also tragic, with a slight sense of melancholy."

Xue Xiaolu gave Liu Yifei a rough interpretation, "Of course I got this from reading the book. As for how the script will be changed, I don't know."

"almost."

"The script is basically faithful to the original work, and the style will not change. The emphasis will be on love and growth. However, the ending is a little different from the original work. After all, it is exactly the same as the novel, which leaves too little room for the audience's imagination. It is relatively There are different places, but in my opinion, this is a completely commercial youth film."

Li Mu said lightly that he set the tone for the movie when he asked the screenwriters to make changes.

The original film was actually pretty good in the first half, but it was a pity that the later changes were a little unclear, so various emotions of the director and the leading actors were added into it, which made it look a little bad.

This is a campus youth idol drama. It is just literary in style and does not follow the plot of a literary film. However, the creators of the original film made it into a literary film, resulting in a top-heavy film with obvious flaws in the second half.

"Then hurry up and take me to see it."

Liu Yifei urged, wishing she could read the script immediately.

"Director Xue is coming too? The script is still with Mengying."

"Let's go together, I'm also very interested in this script."

As a professional screenwriter, I have a natural love for scripts, especially since it was recommended by Li Mu, so the story is probably not bad.

In the industry, Li Mu's ability to read scripts is widely recognized.

The stories he likes will at least not lose money, and big hits are common.

Mengying Media.

Liu Yifei and Xue Xiaolu were still reading the script of "To Youth", while Li Mu was playing with his mobile phone, watching the latest information and waiting.

Another major domestic director’s movie is scheduled to be released.

Chen Kaige's new movie "Search" is scheduled to be released on July 7. The film crew has revealed the red and black themed Chinese and English concept posters of the film.

A sunglasses shattered by a mouse pointer serves as the core visual element, blurring the boundary between virtual space and the real world. The smashing of sunglasses by a mouse conveys the power of invisible violence for the first time, making people think.

Li Mu could probably imagine that this was designed by Chen Kai himself, with its own unique style aesthetics and profound meaning.

"Avengers" has set many records in North America, but the domestic box office is not as good as "Titanic". After two days of release, the box office only reached the 1.2 million yuan mark.

"Director Li, this script is really good."

Xue Xiaolu commented after reading it.

With her years of screenwriting experience, she can still see the difference between good and bad scripts.

For a youth film, that's enough.

"give it to me."

Liu Yifei, who has made a youth film, is full of confidence now.

Li Mu smiled. Youth belongs to everyone, but those who can photograph youth are mostly young people with art.

Because this group of people has the most emotions.

"Then get ready."

Soon Mengying Media announced the project of two movies.

The youth romance film "To Youth" directed by Liu Yifei and the romance film "BJ Meets Seattle" directed by Xue Xiaolu.

The two films will start shooting in the second half of the year.

The roles are all to be determined.

The news quickly spread inside and outside the circle.

The genres of these two films are very popular among the new generation of actors in the industry.

After all, when you look at this type of youth romance film, you will know that the actors are required to be young, otherwise where will the youth come from?

As for Xue Xiaolu's romance film, it will definitely not be a love story about middle-aged and elderly people in their forties or fifties, so what else is there to watch?

Everyone in the circle is gearing up and using various means to seek an audition opportunity.

The results of the two directors' last films are obvious to everyone, and the two directors are the top two female directors in the box office rankings.

Han Sanping was the first to call.

"Another low-budget movie?"

Han Sanping was so "sensible" as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Li Mu burst into laughter. "It's indeed a small budget, but Director Han said, let's do it this way, choose one of the two movies, and Mengying will give up 20% of the share. That's interesting enough."

Li Mu smiled faintly and said, Mengying has made too many small-budget projects in recent years, and it is not good to keep eating the cake like this. Moreover, there will be a "囧" this year, so let's give some share.

"Can't you vote for both movies?"

Han Sanping was a little confused. Adults should ask multiple-choice questions whenever they want.

"Director Han, if you eat meat, other people will also eat meat. You have to let one of them go out."

Han Sanping understood what Li Mu meant, and he was planning to give away some of his share.

"Okay." He no longer hesitated, "Then "BJ Meets Seattle"."

Han Sanping directly chose Xue Xiaolu’s film, which currently tops the box office rankings for female directors.

"Director Xue's film is an excellent choice."

"Don't give me the confusing medicine. I haven't read both scripts."

Han Sanping laughed and scolded that he simply trusted Mengying Media and Li Mu's vision, and he didn't have much money.

If it were an investment of hundreds of millions, you would have to read the script first before saying anything, unless it was Li Mu's movie, then it would be different.

After hanging up the phone with Han Sanping, Wang Changtian's call came right away.

"What a coincidence." Li Mu muttered and pressed the connect button.

"Director Li, it's very difficult to get through your phone."

Wang Changtian breathed a sigh of relief when he finally got through.

"Haha, Director Han just called."

"." Wang Changtian was shocked. This was a mountain eagle. What else could he do on the phone at this time?

"Director Li, the lighting is difficult now. Look at "Everyone", pure blood is lost to grandma's house."

Wang Changtian started to resort to cruelty and kept doing misfortune.

"Mr. Wang, okay, everyone is in the industry, I still don't know you."

Li Mu said speechlessly, how much money can be made from investing in "Everyman".

"Hey, Director Li, do you still have a share?"

Wang Changtian finally showed his "fangs", and he wanted to follow suit.

"20% share of "To Youth", or else."

"That's for sure. It's both emotional and reasonable. I'm so excited about the movie Yifei." Wang Changtian said immediately with a guaranteed vote.

No matter what, "Those Years" proved that Liu Yifei can still make youth films. If she continues to make youth films, it will be somewhat secure.

Of course, the most guaranteed Xue Xiaolu has been chosen by Zuoshandiao.

Wang Changtian complained silently in his heart.

"Okay, that's settled then."

Yu Dong had just finished the meeting and learned the news. He felt bad and hurriedly called Li Mu.

"Director Li."

"Mr. Yu, are you here to ask about the quota?" Li Mu knew why these people were calling without even thinking about it.

The word "ye" made Yu Dong feel quite cold, which meant that someone had beaten him before.

According to Li Mu's past operations, if it is exclusive, everyone will go home. If they are willing to share some points, it is likely that they have already been divided.

After all, it’s all a small investment, and it can be settled in just one sentence.

Yu Dong could only pray for some soup at this moment. Damn, this meeting was held at the wrong time.

"Director Li, do you still have a share left?"

"Mr. Yu, we just finished dividing. Director Han and Mr. Wang each took a little."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's just a small investment, don't worry too much."

"Director Li, you know how to joke. Mengying Media's return on a small investment is extraordinary. Our small investment is really a small investment."

Yu Dong could only admit that he was unlucky. Who made his phone call come late? A movie worth tens of millions usually only needs two investors.

Lao Wang is so fast, so shameless

Yu Dong also cursed in his heart and complained about Wang Changtian.

"Mr. Yu from Bona?"

Liu Yifei asked with a smile from the side. There were already a lot of calls at this moment.

"What are you laughing at? I'm just asking you two for the amount of investment in your movie. You should be allowed to accept it. I'm blocking the knife for you."

"You are the boss. Isn't it normal to block an employee's knife?"

"Is it normal for bosses to bully employees?"

Li Mu came forward directly, looked at Liu Yifei with a leering look, and held his slender waist with his right hand, as soft as a bone. Li Mu couldn't help but squeeze it twice with his fingers.

"itch"

Liu Yifei twisted her body and said delicately, her eyes overflowing with spring water.

"Come into the room."

"???What are you doing in the room?"

Li Mu pretended not to understand and asked with a confused look.

Liu Yifei was so angry that she stepped hard on Li Mu's left foot, "Humph, don't come in again."

"Come on."

Li Mu directly hugged the princess, and quickly walked into the room while Liu Yifei was exclamating and embarrassed.

The sun is shining brightly outside, and the warm spring wind is gradually getting hotter, just like the temperature in the room is gradually rising.
