Chapter 655 You are the producer

"Director Zhang, someone is coming."

Li Mu was still communicating with Zhang Hongsen when Zhang Hongsen's secretary knocked on the door and came in, saying respectfully.

Li Mu and Han Jianu also stood up. The person who came from the Food and Drug Administration this time was Duan Huiping, deputy director of the General Office.

"Brother, the people who come here are easier to talk to!"

Han Jianu has dealt with the Food and Drug Administration a lot in the past six months, so she has obviously seen this.

Li Mu understood immediately, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Director Duan!"

"Director Li! In principle, the leadership has already agreed to the production of "Dying to Survive". This time, I came here mainly to communicate with you. I still need to emphasize some taboo points.

After all, we are not the navy. They are showing off their national power, which is welcomed by the people. But we, to put it bluntly, are exposing our own shortcomings. Director Li, you also know that if you really want to film this script as it is, we will have to bear the pressure of public opinion.
There are medicines that can cure it, but people cannot afford it. This exposes the social contradictions vividly! "

"understand!"

Li Mu nodded. No wonder Han Jianu said that the director was easy to talk to. After hearing this, Li Mu felt that he would be sorry for him if he didn't take a better picture.

“Director Duan, the purpose of making this film is not just to talk about business in an artistic way.

Instead, we hope that this film will trigger reflections in the industry and tell the people that although there are many obstacles coming from both abroad and at home, the country will still do its utmost to protect the interests of the people."

Li Mu also stated his purpose. He said that the film was not made to expose problems, but more to show the positive side. This was very important and was necessary to dispel the remaining concerns of the Food and Drug Administration.

"Director Li, it's good that you understand. The ethical issues involving new drugs are actually far more than these. In addition to the scientific argumentation of the judgment criteria, there is a huge demand for various generic drugs and even defective drugs, and the differences in the protection period and policies of new drugs in various countries.
This means that the launch and protection of new drugs in any country are accompanied by huge criticism, and the road ahead is long and difficult!

I hope that during the filming process people will understand this and minimize criticism.”

Duan Huiping began to tactfully state that after agreeing in principle, there were some points that needed to be confirmed.

“Of course, only pursuing medicine and reaping the fruits without paying attention to the process will not help the country’s pharmaceutical industry as a whole.

I hope that through the film "Dying to Survive", we can focus on the core solutions to the problems. I hope that China can have a sound mechanism for pharmaceutical research and development, production and sales, so that all medicines can be popularized and no longer be deified."

"."

"We can rest assured if we leave it to Director Li!"

After some communication, Duan Huiping breathed a sigh of relief. Li Mu's ideas and understanding were all positive, which made them completely relieved.

"Haha, Director Duan, Director Li's Operation Red Sea is still being screened nationwide. Isn't that enough for the Food and Drug Administration to be worried?"

Zhang Hongsen mentioned it at the right time.

"Director Zhang, we all understand what you said, but after talking to Director Li this time, I am really relieved!"

"Thank you, Director Duan." Li Mu stood up and shook hands with him.

"Thank you, Director Duan!" Han Jianu also hurriedly shook hands.

"Okay, that's it for today! If there's anything that needs to be changed, I'll have to trouble screenwriter Han later."

"It should!"

"."

"The filing form will be released in a few days, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Zhang Hongsen also stood up at this time and said with a smile, "Then I won't keep you any longer."

Han Jianu was very excited at the moment. This script finally got the filming permit. She couldn't wait to ask Li Mu, "Brother, when do you plan to start filming?"

"Let's wait and see. Let's decide on the lead actor first. Do you have any ideas about the lead actor?"

Li Mu didn't feel too excited, mainly because "Operation Red Sea" had already set a sample, and "Dying to Survive" itself was not a movie that specifically promoted bad things. The ending and the process were both good, and the medical insurance negotiations had already begun.

"As for me, I'm not a professional either. Forget it. It's better for you to decide, Senior Brother."

Han Jianu gave up her right to cast without any hesitation. She was not ignorant. It was a favor for Li Mu to let her recommend actors. After all, when it comes to actors and directors of a certain level like Li Mu and Zhang Yi, they have the final say.

"You can also be a producer of this movie."

Li Mu immediately made arrangements. Regardless of his relationship with Han Sanping, he should be given the script and his hard work, which would also be beneficial to his future development in the industry.

"Brother, I'm not very good at this." Han Jianu declined subconsciously.

"If you don't know how, just learn. Your father has been a role for a long time.

And you are not the only producer of this film. Mengying Media will send two people. Your sister Yifei will also be one of the producers. If you don’t know, just ask. But she still has to take care of the children, so you have to pay more attention later. "

"Brother, I'll try it!"

Han Jianu mustered up the courage to say that she knew Li Mu was giving her an opportunity, and that such a good job was not something that ordinary people in the industry could enjoy.

After all, Li Mu's crew and producers must have an easier time. After all, no one dares to cause trouble, and they just have to do their job in an orderly manner.

"Well, make up for your studies these days, then I'll leave first."

Li Mu felt that the wind was slightly cold in October, but the sun was shining brightly and it was still quite hot. He thought about getting into the car quickly and unbuttoning his clothes because it was too stuffy.

But when Li Mu returned to the villa, Liu Yifei, holding the child, saw the unbuttoned clothes at a glance.

He quickly placed the little bun in the stroller and quickly buckled it up for Li Mu.

"You're going to die, what if someone sees you?" Liu Yifei was in a panic. If her family saw her, she would be so embarrassed. "You're going to strangle me to death. Can I change into something that can cover it up later? You're such a guilty thief."

Li Mu couldn't help but find it funny.

"Who is guilty of a crime?"

Liu Yifei was very stubborn, but she still forced the button on. "Okay, now you can go back and change. This way, mom and the others won't see it!"

"."

At the same time, the General Administration also gave an explanation to the doubts about the Olympic bid of "The Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back"

"The Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back to the Past was submitted to the Oscars on behalf of the mainland and was voted on by a selection committee of experts convened by the Film Bureau.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. It is bound to be very difficult to choose the "best" film, and it is certainly impossible to satisfy everyone.

"The Journey to the West" mainly promotes Chinese culture. Xuanzang is a historical figure and cultural symbol with a certain degree of fame worldwide, and the story of the journey to the West is also an outlet for China's positive energy."

It has to be said that the reasons given by the General Administration are reasonable and well-founded, but netizens just don't accept them.

"What kind of expert?"

"What kind of expert could have chosen this movie?"

"I'm stunned. This expert doesn't seem to be that good."

It has to be said that this seems to have successfully diverted the focus of netizens' conflicts and they began to criticize the experts.

However, the experts will definitely not show up, and netizens have no way of knowing their identities.

"I was scolded as expected."

Liu Yifei took the comments into consideration.

"It's normal to be criticized. Normal people in the industry wouldn't choose this movie, but what can we do about it."

Li Mu also shook his head and could only say that correctness and stability were more important.

After entering the working day, the box office of "Operation Red Sea" began to decline and has been hovering around 2 million. However, at this time, Chinese Film Industry began to publish articles intensively.

"Operation Red Sea will be released in Singapore, Malaysia, the United States, Australia, India and other countries this week."

As the news came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens, who shouted their support.

"We should let the world see our strength!"

"This movie is absolutely world-class. Different from individual heroism, this kind of collective heroism can give overseas Chinese compatriots working overseas a strong sense of security."

“I’m really looking forward to how this movie will perform around the world!”

"."

At the same time, the General Administration had already given the extension key before "Operation Red Sea" was released.

“Operation Red Sea will be extended to December 12.”

The key was given directly for two months, which is truly envied by people in the industry.

"Fortunately, while I am waiting for the release of I Am Not Madame Bovary, Operation Red Sea has been released for more than a month, so it won't have much impact on the movie."

Feng Xiaogang also felt emotional when he saw that "Operation Red Sea" is now rampant in the release schedule.

Fortunately, I am not that tough and I went for it head-on, otherwise "I Am Not Madame Bovary" would have had no chance to make any money during the National Day holiday.

Although there will be delays, it is estimated that the price of "Operation Red Sea" will fluctuate between a few hundred thousand and one million at most.

"Director Feng, I'll have to ask you to do more promotion."

Ye Ning took the itinerary arranged by the publicity department and handed it to Feng Xiaogang.

"As long as there's no problem with Fan Binbin, that's fine."

Feng Xiaogang naturally would not forget the popular figure Fan Binbin. How can he promote this thing without a topic? And isn’t Fan Binbin the protagonist of "I Am Not Madame Bovary"?

"Don't worry, I won't take the resources and not do the work."

Ye Ning smiled and said that cooperating with the publicity is a must. Big-name actors have the right to choose not to participate, but they have to bear the consequences of not participating. It all depends on whether they have the ability to do so.

On the evening of the 9th, Li Mu invited Spielberg to dinner at a specialty restaurant in the capital.

"Lee, I heard that your war film earned nearly $8 million in box office in just 4 days."

Spielberg couldn't help but sigh at this moment, this local box office would definitely rank among the top three in Hollywood.

The market potential in China today is terrifying.

"To be precise, this should be an anti-war movie."

Li Mu has never thought that "Operation Red Sea" is a war film, because the eight members of the Jiaolong Commando in the movie have always adhered to the diplomatic principle of not engaging in fire unless necessary.

"You are right. Anti-war is what we filmmakers should do. We should not promote war."
