In a private room of a club.
Lin Mu finally met Gu Chaoyong.
He is about forty years old, not tall, looks very strong, wears an old man's hat, and is full of Lin Mu's stereotype of the director.
The image seemed to fit Lin Mu's imagination, and Lin Mu was quite polite to him.
Gu Chaoyong didn't show off his qualifications. He praised "Love Apartment" when he first came up. Even the commercials he shot for "That Summer" were eloquent.
This is also a good thing.
Regardless of whether Gu Chaoyong was telling the truth or not, at least he had understood Lin Mu's works.
The two chatted for most of the time, and Lin Mu got straight to the point: "Does Director Gu have confidence in the movie? I remember that Director Gu has been filming TV series before? And the subject matter..."
Lin Mu organized his words, "It's a bit boring."
Gu Chaoyong nodded: "I shoot the main drama, which is indeed a bit boring, but if you want other effects, I can also shoot it. It mainly depends on the cooperation of the team."
"Then let's read the script first." Lin Mu said, pushing the script over.
In fact, at this time, Lin Mu was almost able to decide on Gu Chaoyong.
After all, he has been a veteran director for many years. Although it may take some time to get used to making movies, it is better than Lin Mu's blind search.
Moreover, Gu Chao has no problem using his technology. As long as he adjusts it, he will naturally be able to fulfill his requirements.
But only if he can accept his own direction.
The majority of the say in Chinese-language films is directed by directors, which is different from the film circles in other countries.
Although the director's status is also very high, it is the producer who really has the say in foreign countries.
While reading the script, Gu Chaoyong asked Lin Mu some details. It was obvious that Gu Chaoyong was very interested in the book.
Although both of them have revealed their intention to cooperate, it is obvious that they cannot be discussed over this meal. They will have to continue to contact each other later to know whether the other person is the most suitable candidate.
After returning from the club, Lin Mu asked Hua Mei to find the information used by Gu Chao.
After confirming that there was no bad news about Gu Chaoyong, Lin Mu made his decision.
I just have to wait until the next meeting to officially invite him to join the crew of "The Flowers of the Heart".
In half a month, the lead actor and director have been found, and the progress is good.
Lin Mu nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his attention to the supporting actress across the table, Hua Mei.
"How are you thinking about it?"
"Ah?" Hua Mei reacted for a moment before replying: "Boss, is it okay if I don't play that Smurf?"
After confirming that there was no "Avatar" in this world, Lin Mu chose a similar Smurf to replace it.
Lin Mu blinked and agreed, "Okay, then who do you want to play?"
"I..." Hua Mei blushed slightly: "I want to play the non-mainstream role."
Lin Mu opened his eyes slightly: "Zhou Lijuan?"
This role is more difficult than Avatar.
To put it bluntly, Avatar's image is a little subverted. The character's personality is still more love-minded, and I want to make it easier to play other characters.
And Zhou Lijuan, who is not in the mainstream, has to be naive, pretend to be rebellious, pretend to be mature, and still be childish.
No matter how you look at it, this character doesn’t match the delicate flowers.
Lin Mu looked Hua Mei up and down, good guy, does his little secretary want to play with contrast as soon as he comes up?
Not too ambitious?
Seeing Lin Mu sizing him up, Hua Mei said weakly: "Can't you?"
"Yes, yes, but this role requires very high acting skills. Why don't you try other roles?"
"Then boss, please recommend one." Hua Mei looked up at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu touched his chin and clapped his hands, "How about playing that Shasha?"
"Sasha?"
The character image of Shasha suddenly appeared in Hua Mei's mind.
Although she is also a bad person, the role of Shasha is much more social.
"The eyebrows I just tattooed were broken by a slap!"
She shook her head violently: "No, no! I'm still Zhou Lijuan!"
"Okay, you go and study with Teacher Chu Zheng for a few days first, and then when you have time, you can go to the towns and villages to learn about the style and so on."
"OK!"
Hua Mei couldn't help but feel a little excited when she heard Lin Mu agreed.
What little girl doesn't have a big-screen dream? Now that it suddenly came true, she didn't jump up on the spot, so she was calm.
Hua Mei looked at Lin Mu, her face suddenly turned redder, and she circled her fingers behind her back: "Boss, you don't know how to play with unspoken rules, do you?"
Lin Mu immediately covered his chest, "Get out of here, you acted in my movie and you still want to play with my people?"
The little deer that Hua Mei bumped into was killed. He glanced at Lin Mu angrily and turned to look for Chu Zheng.
Watching Hua Mei turn around, Lin Mu looked down the little girl's skirt.
Well, black stockings, and patterned ones.
This girl has bad intentions!
Fortunately, I had taken precautions and sent her to Chu Zheng to learn acting skills, so that no one would always worry about me.
There are a total of about ten main characters in the movie, and now I have solved five of them. The other characters will wait for Gu Chaoyong to join the group, and then let him audition.
Oh, no, Chen Nuo hasn't solved it yet.
We still have to meet him.
…
The next day, Lin Mu asked Xue Duo to make an appointment with Chen Nuo to meet at Xue Duo's studio.
When the time was almost up, Lin Mu asked Hua Mei to send him there.
As soon as he got in the car, Lin Mu felt that Hua Mei was a little different from usual.
"Why are you wearing so much makeup?"
Through the rearview mirror, Lin Mu saw Hua Mei's new makeup.
Red lips and electric eyes make her look much sexier than usual.
Hua Mei looked ahead, "I'll try on little Taimei's makeup first."
Lin Mu didn't show any concern at all and stared at Hua Mei's face carefully: "You are not like a little girl, you are too delicate and a little rough. You are the kind of child who wants to imitate adults' makeup and makes it look ugly, but feels that he is It’s such a beautiful feeling.”
"..." Hua Mei's resentful eyes immediately flew out, "Okay, boss."
"I still think you are suitable to play Shasha."
"Boss, you can rest now."
"Sasha is wearing less."
"Ah! Boss!"
Seeing that Hua Mei was annoyed, Lin Mu laughed twice and lay down.
It was right to choose Hua Mei as the secretary at the beginning, and the little beauty was indeed in a happy mood after teasing her.
The car was stable. Under Hua Mei's resentful eyes, Lin Mu walked into Xue Duo's studio leisurely.
He came quite frequently in the past few days, and other people in the studio did not regard Lin Mu as an outsider and greeted Lin Mu one after another.
This time it was business, so Lin Mu didn't enter Xue Duo's office.
The two waited in the conference room for a while, and Chen Nuo arrived.
As soon as Lin Mu got up, Chen Nuo arrived at the conference room.
After the two of them greeted each other, Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Has Mr. Lin's song been written?"
Lin Mu also laughed: "I didn't write it."
The smile on Xue Duo's face suddenly froze. When she turned around, Chen Nuo's smile did not change.
"Then Mr. Lin must have an idea?"
Lin Mu looked at Chen Nuo: "It didn't exist before, but now it does."
