Jiang Zheng is not a newcomer to the film industry. He had directed many films before "That Summer".
Although the box office was not high, at least it did not lose money.
This time, "That Summer" put Jiang Zheng into the 500 million director club in one fell swoop, and he has been getting film appointments ever since.
If it was Xue Duo who called him, then it was really possible to call him for support.
But considering Jiang Zheng’s qualifications, who will be the chief director of the crew after he joins the crew?
Gu Chaoyong, a TV drama director.
Jiang Zheng has many mature works, and his last movie was just released, with a box office of 800 million.
It is almost self-evident who is the leader of the crew.
Seeing Lin Mu's thoughtful look, Gu Chaoyong's face flashed with a hint of bitterness, but he didn't say anything more, but nodded and said, "Then let's call Director Jiang over."
"It's okay, but this time the director is still Director Gu. Lao Gu, when Director Jiang arrives, you have a meeting with him to communicate the effect I want."
As soon as Lin Mu opened his mouth, Gu Chaoyong almost cried and said in disbelief: "I...does what I say work?"
"I don't know if your words will work or not." Lin Mu put his arm around Gu Chao's shoulders and said, "But as a producer, my words will definitely work. I will use you when I say I want to. How can I slap myself in the face?"
Lin Mu really had no intention of changing anyone. Even if Jiang Zheng came, he would still use the one used by Gu Chao.
If not for anything else, it was because of the quarrel he had with the TV drama circle at that time, and the fact that Gu Chaoyong was the first to defect to him, he had to be the director of this movie.
"Sister Xue, tell Director Jiang that he is here as the assistant director. If you agree, use him. If you don't agree, we will find a way."
Xue Duo glanced at Gu Chaoyong, nodded and said, "Well, I'll make a call first."
After a while, Xue Duo came back.
He looked at Lin Mu and said, "Director Jiang agreed."
"Okay, where is Director Jiang? Let's go there."
"Yanjing, let's go."
…
Lin Mu left alone, but returned to Yanjing with a group of people.
Except for some staff who stayed in Dazhi to arrange the scenes, basically all the creative staff returned to Yanjing.
The meeting with Jiang Zheng went smoothly. Jiang Zheng did not show off his qualifications to Lin Mu, but readily agreed.
He even talked about buddies with Gu Chaoyong. This kind attitude flattered Gu Chaoyong.
Jiang Zheng is not stupid. It’s not like he doesn’t know the quality of the movies he makes.
It may not be accurate to say that the popularity of "That Summer" was all due to Lin Mu's marketing, but it is at least 80% certain.
Now Lin Mu wants to make a new movie, and he was stupid enough to refuse.
Not to mention being the assistant director, he agreed even if it was just in name!
We started promoting it halfway before, and the box office has already been so high.
The movie hasn't even been made yet, and it's so popular, so the box office shouldn't take off!
shoot! Must shoot!
"Brother Gu, please take care of me!"
Jiang Zheng directly pulled Gu Chaoyong and started to build relationships.
This confused Lao Gu, who has been filming TV series for half his life.
But Lao Gu wouldn't think that Jiang Zheng was so polite because of himself, but mostly because of Lin Mu.
So Gu Chaoyong also became polite to Jiang Zheng.
Lin Mu saw that both of them could carry it clearly, so he immediately asked them to go to the meeting.
I hurriedly took advantage of the last bit of time to go home and rest.
…
Magic City, large level.
Lin Mu finished washing and lay down comfortably on the ground.
Although I haven’t done anything big recently, I always feel that I have worked hard for myself.
How about treating yourself?
Lin Mu thought about it and took out his mobile phone to order takeout.
As soon as I clicked and put down my phone, there was a knock on the door.
"I wipe it? So quickly?"
Lin Mu opened the door and Xue Duo went straight in.
Lin Mu looked out and quickly closed the door, "Why are you here?"
"You're not welcome?" Xue Duo threw off his shoes and sat down on the sofa.
Lin Mu smiled and said: "Of course I welcome you, but I didn't expect that the sheep would enter the tiger's mouth on its own."
Xue Duo raised his eyebrows, "You made it clear who is entering and who is coming."
Lin Mu: "..."
This bitch will start to speak pornographically after she gets acquainted with her!
"You have changed. You were not like this before." Lin Mu went over and lay down directly under the sofa.
Xue Duo stepped on him: "It's not your fault."
Lin Mu held Xue Duo's ankle and said, "Don't step on it. Don't blame me if something happens."
"I'll take care of you later." Xue Duo snorted, and then got down to business: "Are you taking on other movie projects?"
"What?" Lin Mu looked at her strangely: "Do you have any new movies coming out?"
"It wasn't me, it was other movies."
Xue Duo explained briefly.
It's still what happened in the past few days.
In other words, it was the box office performance of "That Summer" that caused the commotion.
Since the box office split of "That Summer" was released, many people have wanted to contact Lin Mu to promote the movie.
But Lin Mu was busy with "Love Apartment" at that time, so he pushed it all away.
Now, through the scolding battle with Da Yan, Lin Mu has put a movie that has not yet started filming on the hot search list.
Naturally, people from the film industry came looking for me again.
Luo Mo didn't make sense, and Lin Mu didn't add his contact information, so naturally he found Xue Duo, who had cooperated with Lin Mu.
I want Xue Duo to get in touch and talk to Lin Mu about cooperation.
"What kind of movie?" Lin Mu said and shook his head: "Forget it, our movie is about to start shooting, how can I have time to plan it. And I didn't plan it, it was just a coincidence this time."
"Is it really not possible?" Xue Duo looked a little tangled, but finally expressed his concerns: "Sometimes if you don't help with things in the circle, the other party may regard you as an enemy."
"As long as an enemy is an enemy, can he still prevent my movie from being released?" Lin Mu didn't worry at all.
In the final analysis, movies rely on quality.
Publicity can make a fortune, but it cannot last a lifetime.
He has confidence in his film.
Even without this publicity, the quality of "Heart Blossom Road" is enough to beat a lot of bad movies.
Xue Duo shook his head: "You can release it, but he can squeeze you into scheduling movies."
"Should I wipe it?" Lin Mu's calmness disappeared immediately: "Who is such a big-faced person?"
"Meixing Cinemas." Xue Duo explained to Lin Mu: "Meixing has its own Meixing Production Company, and its theaters account for 20% of the country's theaters. If it wants to mess with you, your box office will definitely will be affected."
Lin Mu lay down again after hearing this, "It's only 20%, isn't that still 80%?"
Xue Duo snorted: "You think all circles are the same as the literary and art circles. The degree of unity in the academy circle is much more united than you think."
"Then there's always something to deal with, right?"
"Indeed, there is, Huaying. But the number of screens of Huaying only accounts for 40% of the country's total."
"This is enough." Lin Mu turned his head and looked at Xue Duo: "Which movie does Mei Xing want me to promote this time?"
"Legend of the Gods" directed by Bai Yichang." Xue Duo looked at Lin Mu: "Are you going to take it?"
Lin Mu immediately sat up: "I don't understand! Let's fight it in the ring!"
