Chapter 266 I Decided to Act
On the way back, Zhao Ziqiu kept holding the black-bottomed Polaroid photo in his hand.
Li Mu first drove the car to Wang Yanan and his mother's rented house, so he thought of taking them into the house first, then taking Zhao Ziqiu back to Yanda, and finally going back to school with Hu Zhengdao, but Wang Yanan said, "Yanda Right on the side, why don't you send Ziqiu back to the dormitory first, Zhengdao accompanies my mother and me upstairs, and when you send Ziqiu back, you two can go back to school together."
As soon as Li Mu thought about it, the five said goodbye outside the unit. Li Mu stopped the car and sent Zhao Ziqiu back to Yanda.
Zhao Ziqiu didn't speak much along the way, and Li Mu also felt that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, so most of the time she walked silently, until she reached the downstairs of Zhao Ziqiu's bedroom, she turned around, shook the photo in her hand, and said to Li Mu: " Thank you, this is the best gift I've ever received."
Li Mu's heart was slightly touched. The last time a girl said something similar to him, it was when he took out the photo of Ginkgo Avenue and gave it to Su Yingxue. Coincidentally, both women said this, and the reasons were the same. is a photo.
Li Mu said, "It's fine if you like it, it's getting late, hurry up."
Zhao Ziqiu nodded, wanted to say something and then gave up, but said in a daze: "Be careful when you drive back on the road."
The two said goodbye, and Li Mu and Hu Zhengdao reunited and returned to the National People's Congress together.
In the car, Hu Zhengdao said, "Ziqiu came very early today and hasn't left."
Li Mu snorted, but said nothing, Hu Zhengdao said, "Yanan said she was waiting for you, I think so too."
Li Mu asked him, "That's why you called me and asked me to rent a car and take Auntie to Chang'an Avenue for a walk?"
"Yes." Hu Zhengdao said, "I didn't intend to trouble you."
Li Mu said, "This matter is not troublesome. Don't be so out of touch in the future."
Hu Zhengdao said, "How kind Ziqiu is to you..."
Li Mu was dumbfounded, it seemed that both of them were deliberately trying to lead the topic.
Seeing that Li Mu didn't answer, Hu Zhengdao said, "It's also me who talks too much. You know much better than us. You must already have plans for this kind of thing."
Li Mu didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't have any plans in his heart, except for his career. Others are basically a mess.
...
the next day,
Li Mu didn't go anywhere. In the dormitory, I chatted with a few buddies in the dormitory, waiting for two news at the same time, one is whether Chen Kun is willing to join, and the other is Du Wei's sister who is far away in the United States. After reading the script of "Old Boy", what is her willingness to do? I don't want Du Wei to play the leading role.
Before lunch, Li Mu received a call from Ning Hao, and Ning Hao said in a slightly exaggerated voice, "Hello. Boss Li?"
Li Mu snorted and smiled: "If you have something to say, hurry up, if you have a fart..."
Before Li Mu finished speaking, Ning Hao said, "Well, Chen Kun agreed, and his agency also agreed, and he can sign a contract at any time. I'll ask you for instructions. If there's no problem, I'll sign the contract after lunch. ."
"Isn't he in the Shanghai stock market?" Li Mu asked in surprise, "He came back early?"
Ning Hao said, "No. I'll just go to their agency to sign the contract. By the way, after signing the contract. Three days before the start of filming, 50% of the film's salary must be paid."
"No problem." Li Mu said, and added: "You can quickly pick up a mobile phone for yourself, eliminate your pager, and save yourself from making public calls all day long."
Ning Hao sneered and said, "It doesn't delay the matter. If I have something to call you, I will call you directly on your mobile phone. If you have something to call me, call me and I will call you back within five minutes."
Li Mu said: "If you want to buy it, you can buy it. Buy it for about one thousand yuan and ask me to reimburse it with the invoice."
Ning Hao said, "Isn't that appropriate..."
Li Mu scolded: "Look at what you are doing. You don't even dare to ask for a mobile phone from my sponsorship. I really give you millions for you to make a movie. Do you dare to reach out and take it?"
Ning Hao was in a hurry and blurted out, "I'll go buy a mobile phone after I sign the contract!"
Li Mu said with satisfaction: "Come to the National People's Congress in the evening to find me, let's set a shooting schedule."
Ning Hao asked him, "Is the heroine confirmed?"
Li Mu said, "There should be a letter before the evening. It doesn't matter if you have a letter or not. Let's make a decision first. If it doesn't work, we'll change the heroine. I think Wang Luodan, a freshman in your school, is good."
Ning Hao exclaimed, "Big brother, where did you meet? I've never heard of it?"
Li Mu said smoothly: "It was recommended by a buddy, but I still hope that the girl in my mind will play the role."
Ning Hao said, "Okay, let's talk face to face in the evening."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu began to be a little worried. Du Wei said she would reply as soon as possible, but there is still no news. She contacted her once yesterday, and she said that there should be a result during the day. Li Mu checked the time, it's all fucking It's half past eleven, New York time is half past eleven in the evening, normal people are sleeping, and it is estimated that 80% of them are hanging again today.
If Du Wei really fails, then the second candidate in Li Mu's mind is Wang Luodan. In her previous life, this actress should have been admitted to the Yanjing Film Academy in 2001. Although she had filmed a few plays between 2004 and 2006, she was not a good actress. They are all unremarkable supporting roles. It was not until 2007 when she played the female No. 2 Mi Lai in "Struggle" that she became an instant hit. In Li Mu's eyes, Wang Luodan is a more distinctive actress. Although she is not very beautiful, she When she first debuted, she really had an aura of youth. Unfortunately, after she became famous, she went the wrong way and no longer maintained the performance characteristics of "Struggle". In the end, she was replaced by Bai Baihe, which made herself fall into a final position. An embarrassing situation.
Li Mu has never met Wang Luodan in 2001, but he feels that she is more suitable for this role. If Du Wei is really not good, he can only go to Wang Luodan.
Several buddies in the dormitory had a meal together at the off-campus restaurant. Sun Jian, Hu Zhengdao, and Liu Nian had tutoring classes in the afternoon. Xue Jianfeng and Li Yawei wanted to go to the Internet cafe to play Legends. Li Mu followed and sat in the Internet cafe for a while, absent-mindedly. Entered a local area network cs, while passing the time, waiting for Du Wei's news.
Du Wei was also very anxious at the moment.
From the bottom of her heart, she really wanted to take over Li Mu's micro-movie, not only because of the simple plan and Zhang Kexuan, but also because of the plot of the movie that moved her, but her sister far away on the other side of the ocean did not. I think she gave an evaluation as early as the first time after reading the script: vulgar.
Just like what Li Mu is most worried about, Du Wei's sister is a complete literary and artistic youth, and she is a high-profile literary and artistic youth. Li Mu's line of sensationalism with dreams and youth has long been rotten to her who has been in the United States all the year round. Now, she doesn't want her sister to make this kind of movie, or she doesn't want her sister to be involved in the film circle at all.
Du Wei knows her sister too well, and always likes to deny the public to highlight her uniqueness. For example, the movie classic "Titanic" is a cheesy love movie in her eyes, only "Casablanca" It is an immortal work in romance films, and even "Titanic" can't be looked down upon. How could it look like Li Mu's 40-minute micro-movie script?
But Du Wei wanted to try it all. She had been talking nice to her sister, trying to make her change her prejudice against "Old Boy", but it seemed to have no effect.
Du Wei tried to let her sister listen to the song "Old Boy" first, hoping to touch her first through the song, but she didn't expect her sister on QQ to reply: "You are studying music, why are you still interested in this kind of pop music?"
Du Wei said: "I originally liked pop music more... Besides, the composition of this song is so well written, and the lyrics are also very inspirational..."
The elder sister sneered and said, "I only like music."
Du Wei was speechless, and felt a little regretful in her heart. She had known that she should not have told her sister about this matter. She had to be executed first and then file for it. However, she has been accustomed to asking her sister's opinion on everything for so many years. She hasn't done one so far.
My sister who was far away from the other side of the ocean sent the final message, saying: "Weiwei, it's 1 o'clock at night here, and I'm really sleepy. I'll go to bed first, don't think about the filming, read it with peace of mind. University, if you really want to be an actor in the future, my sister can introduce you to Hollywood to try, there are many more opportunities here than in China, and I also know many friends who have been in the Hollywood film and television industry."
Du Wei slandered unhappily. She didn't doubt that her sister really knew a few Hollywood friends in the United States, but she knew clearly that Hollywood was not a good place for Chinese people at all. So far, in Hollywood Jackie Chan and Jet Li are the only Chinese movie stars who are really famous, and they are both action stars. No matter how many other movies other Chinese perform in Hollywood, they are all five-line supporting roles. There is no chance at all.
What's more, Du Wei's aesthetics are not the same as her sister's. My sister thinks "Old Boy" is vulgar, but she thinks this micro-movie is not bad at all. On the contrary, it contains a lot of truth.
The song "Old Boy" has already encouraged countless people. If the movie is made, I don't know how inspiring it will be for the general public. Du Wei really doesn't want to miss such a meaningful thing.
After hesitating for an hour, Du Wei picked up the phone and called Li Mu.
Just as Li Mu was dazedly drilling through the top passage of the warehouse in CS, he was suddenly shot in the head by the police who jumped in.
Just when I was depressed, Du Wei's phone call came.
Li Mu hurriedly answered the phone, came up and asked, "Xiao Wei, how is it?"
Du Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "My sister doesn't agree..."
Li Mu felt extremely disappointed in his heart, it was as if the girl he loved had finally rejected him.
However, Du Wei then said: "Although my sister disagrees, I still want to try it myself!"
Li Mu suddenly regained his spirit and asked, "Really?"
"Yeah!" Du Wei said firmly: "I've decided to act!" (To be continued.)
