Chapter 261 Future first-line director

In Li Mu's mind, from 2000 to 2016, from the time of his rebirth, the best comedy in mainland China was "Crazy Stone". This movie, which was born in 2006, created a milestone comedy movie with an investment of two or three million yuan. Li Mu himself could not count how many people this movie made famous.

After this movie, Huang Bo, the absolute sling-level actor, became one of the hottest actors in China, nicknamed 6 billion actors; the actors Guo Tao and Xu Zheng, who had long been out of date, also found the spring of their careers again after this movie, and the brother Dao and Wang Xun in the play also became popular with this movie. Although they failed to become a first-line actor, they were also very popular among the second-tier ranks.

Although this movie draws on elements from foreign director Gerich, the screenwriter is indeed very clever. With the wonderful performances of various actors, it presents a real comedy with no urine throughout the whole process and laughing from beginning to end. Li Mu watched this movie no less than ten times, and could memorize almost every line.

The director of the movie has been truly well known to the world, and later he made movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan and a billion yuan, successfully joining the ranks of domestic first-line directors.

The director of this movie is Ning Hao, who just recommended himself to himself on QQ.

Because Li Mu likes to watch his movies, he specially found his earliest DVD movies. The picture quality of that movie is very bad and the photography is also very bad, but the plot design is relatively clever, and the title is "Thursday, Wednesday".

After calculating the time, you can imagine that Ning Hao is still a student in school. He will see the posts he posted and find himself. Although it is a coincidence, if you think about it carefully, it is not a coincidence to some extent.

There are many unfamous students in the Yanjing Film Academy now. But if Li Mu goes in and walks around, he will be able to find at least dozens of familiar faces, because the students from the 1998 to 2001 are still in school. There are too many famous people among these four students, not only actors, but also directors, photographers and screenwriters. It is normal for him to recruit a few big names in the future. As a person who is reborn in the future, he will probably feel it is a coincidence that he will meet any big names in the future.

No matter what, Li Mu was still excited. He hurriedly packed up and went out to the barbecue stall downstairs to wait for Ning Hao to appear. Yanjing Film Academy was not far from Renmin University, and the bus was only a few stops. Li Mu sat by the window at the Sheep Scorpion Hotpot Restaurant for more than ten minutes, and a familiar face appeared in his sight.

Although Ning Hao is still a student at Yanjing Film Academy, his actual age is already 25 years old. He looks quite old. Now he looks almost the same as when he was shooting crazy stones. He has a little fat body and his hairline retreats early.

Ning Hao got off the bus and observed it around. After seeing the sheep scorpion hotpot mentioned by Li Mu, he walked towards the store door. He pushed the door open and stood on tiptoe and looked in. Li Mu wanted to say hello to him, but when he thought that he was still unknown, it would be strange if he recognized him first, so he pretended to be calm and sat on the chair and waited for him to see him.

Ning Hao repeated in a low voice: "Grey sports trousers, blue sweater..."

After scanning the circle, his eyes fell on Li Mu. The blue sweater was right, but the pants were invisible. Ning Hao walked forward a few steps. When he passed by Li Mu, he deliberately looked at it and found that Li Mu was wearing gray sweatpants. He was shocked and thought to himself, why is this kid so young? He just told himself on QQ that he would use 2 million to shoot a 40-minute micro-film? What are you going to do?

Ning Hao instinctively wanted to go out because he was afraid that Li Mu was a liar, and he was not afraid that Li Mu would lie to him about anything else, but he was afraid that Li Mu would lie to him for a meal.

He has heard of it. Some birds are cheating on food and drinks under the name of introducing jobs to others. What should I do if this kid really posts on the forum of Yanjing Film Academy to deceive people? His living expenses are now a problem, and he only costs more than fifty yuan in his pocket. This is all his wealth. Recently, seeing the end of the year, there are no new crews starting filming. He can't even find a chance to work. If Li Mu fails to do this, he will have to go to a restaurant to serve plates.

It is precisely because of the financial situation that Ning Hao was a little confused. On the one hand, he was afraid that Li Mu was a liar, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he had made a mistake in his judgment.

Ning Hao deliberately walked past Li Mu, hesitating a few meters behind him, and for a minute he gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try. What are you afraid of? If he finds that the other party is really a liar, he will not show his voice and stare at him to eat his fill first. If he wants to get out of the way in advance, he will get up and leave, and must walk in front of him.

After making a decision, Ning Hao came to Li Mu, looked down at him, and asked tentatively: "Hello, is it Mr. Li?"

Li Mu nodded and asked with a smile: "You are Ning Hao, aren't you?"

Ning Hao said: "It's me."

Li Mu said enthusiastically: "Come on, please sit down."

Ning Hao sat opposite Li Mu with a little nervousness. A big pot of sheep scorpions in front of the two had already boiled. Li Mu called out, "Eat first, and chat while eating."

Ning Hao nodded and thanked him. He was indeed hungry. He had been drifting in Yanjing for so long and rarely had the luxury of eating this kind of food. He still had no time to eat tonight.

Li Mu really wanted to eat enough first and then talk about it, but shortly after the two started eating, he soon discovered that Ning Hao was always glancing at him in the outskirts of his eyes while eating, as if he was very alert.

Li Mu is considered a savvy at this age. As soon as he guessed, he guessed what Ning Hao was worried about. When he thought that Ning Hao was an old smoker in the director circle, Li Mu waved to the waiter and said, "Please give me two packs of Soft China."

He deliberately picked up cigarettes that were not in the store. The waiter glanced at Li Mu and said awkwardly: "Hello, our best cigarette is Yuxi."

Li Mu took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to her, "Go out and buy two packs for me, and the remaining money will be used as errands for you."

Ning Hao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two hundred yuan is definitely enough for this meal. These days, a big pot of sheep and scorpion can't cost a hundred yuan.

It seems that the other party is indeed a wealthy person and it is impossible for him to deceive himself for a meal.

Li Mu saw Ning Hao's performance in his eyes, and felt funny in his heart, but he also expressed his understanding that, both in the film and television industry and the music industry, most of them were poor before they became famous. The reason for their poverty was that they needed money to support their art career. Li Mu had a deep understanding of playing bands when he was in college. Sometimes, in order to buy a piece of equipment, he couldn't get enough time for half a semester. In order to buy a guitar effector called line6, he sang for five months in a small bar outside the school.

The waiter bought the cigarette, gave it to Li Mu, and handed it to Li Mu. Li Mu took the cigarette over and said, "Save the money, bring me a smoketray."

There is no smoking ban at the hotel now, and almost all the guests in the lobby are smoking. The waiter happily took the money, turned his head and brought Li Mu an ashtray, and gave him a lighter.

Li Mu opened one of the packs of cigarettes and handed it to Ning Hao. He lit one by himself. Ning Hao also took out the lighter and lit it. He took a sip of joy and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Not to say, good cigarettes are good cigarettes, soft and pure."

Li Mu smiled slightly and handed him the unopened bag: "Take it and smoke it."

Ning Hao hurriedly pushed his hands and said, "How can this work..."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I smoke less, don't be polite. Don't we have any cooperation to discuss?"

After smoking a cigarette, Li Mu said, "I will introduce myself. My name is Li Mu, Mu Zi Li, the grazing Mu."

Ning Hao nodded and also said his name.

Li Mu said: "You said on QQ that you want to be the executive producer of my drama. What I am more curious about is how you integrate the resources I need for me."

Ning Hao suddenly became interested, and blew up the ashes, and said with some excitement: "I have been in this industry for a long time, and have followed many crews and met some people. Now it's the end of the year. Many people are idle without much work. I have a mobile phone number for a phone call. We can definitely get there. In addition, our Yanjing Film Academy also has a lot of student resources, from actors to theater affairs, and the venue affairs can be found. I have a good popularity in the school, and I can help you with it when the time comes!"

Li Mu asked him: "Can you coordinate some good actors from the film school? I still have several vacancies on my side."

Li Mu has not yet decided to star the male villain, and there are also several roles with lines. Li Mu hopes to find some more professional actors. Otherwise, if the whole drama is played by amateur actors, he is afraid that everyone will not act in a tune, which makes people feel fake at first glance.

Ning Hao patted his chest and said, "This is all a trivial matter. Tell me the script, or show it to me, and then tell me your needs for each character. I will help you with the rest."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I will formally hire you as the executive producer of my show."

Ning Hao was stunned for a moment, put down the half-bitten sheep bone, stared at Li Mu and asked, "Is that settled?"

Li Mu nodded and smiled: "Yes, it's settled."

Ning Hao stammered: "Would it be a little sloppy?"

Li Mu asked back with a funny look: "Do you want me to regret it?"

Ning Hao hurriedly said, "Of course not, it's just a matter of reward, how do you decide..."

Li Mu said, "As you said, three thousand, I will give you a thousand yuan advance first."

Ning Hao was obviously trembling. Three thousand yuan was just a casual offer. The actual offer of two thousand yuan was a bit high. Unexpectedly, Li Mu agreed directly.

He asked Li Mu: "You can trust me so much?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's just that I'm giving you 1,000 yuan first. I believe in my own vision. You shouldn't cheat me for 1,000 yuan."
