Chapter 297 Boss, don't brag like that on the show
The shooting went more smoothly than expected. It took less than ten days to complete the shooting in Beijing.
The film shot by Lin Qingyue is different from a normal movie. It does not tell a story from beginning to end, but is divided into three interrelated but relatively independent chapters.
In Beijing, we mainly filmed the first part of the movie, the acquaintance and separation of the male and female protagonists.
Then the second part is about the hero who transferred to a school far away, and there was a girl in that place who had a crush on him, but she found that no matter how close she got to him physically, she could not be even one centimeter close to him in her heart.
As for the third part, the hero has graduated from school and started working, but is still depressed and lonely. In the end, he and the heroine pass each other at a railway crossing.
Because the second part required a rocket launch shot, the filming location was set in South Province, and they needed to move to South Province for filming.
At the banquet before leaving Beijing, Wu Mu asked, "A real shot of a rocket launch?"
Lin Qingyue nodded, "There will be a satellite launch mission on the 12th of next month, and we will film it then."
Wu Mu was somewhat surprised. "Director Lin, your family has such strong connections that you can even get access to rocket launches?"
"It's just filming. They already had this task. They just contacted us and asked us to go to the vicinity of the base and find a good camera position to shoot." Lin Qingyue looked at him with amusement.
Not to mention that her family doesn't have such connections, even if they did, they wouldn't be used for such things.
"You like rockets?"
"I quite like it."
Wu Mu nodded honestly, "I was planning to invest in space travel, virtual reality games and other fields once I made enough money."
Invest in space flight, virtual reality games.?
"You have earned enough money. How much have you earned?" Lou Ziwen beside him couldn't help asking.
Wu Mu thought about it, "About one or two hundred billion?"
One or two hundred billion.
Lou Ziwen turned to Lin Qingyue and said, "Director Lin, Wu Mu still seems to be a little unwell. Let's take his temperature later."
Are you kidding me! ?
You are a star and you still want to make 100 billion or 200 billion! ?
You thought you were making money from Tiandi Bank.
If you work until retirement and make billions at best, that would be great.
I'd never dream of being so ignorant of the Basic Law as you!
Lou Ziwen was speechless.
This statement is so irrelevant, just like an elementary school student talking about his dreams.
Well, I wouldn’t dare to say that once I get to junior high school.
Even Lin Qingyue looked at him with amusement and helplessness, "With such a big dream, I can't seem to help."
Wu Mu waved his hand generously, "It's okay, I can handle it myself!"
Humph, you look down on me, don’t you?
He must have had no hope in his previous life and would not have had such a dream.
But now we have a system, so what’s wrong with dreaming!
No one took Wu Mu's words seriously and thought he was joking.
Yan Yongmei, who is also present today and will accompany the crew to Southern Province throughout the trip, is in charge of the crew's daily chores. After observing Mu and Lin Qingyue for an afternoon, she started talking about business.
"Qingyue, I took a look at the film we shot before, and the quality is better than expected. Do you want to change the publicity plan?"
Lou Ziwen once again praised the work and gave a thumbs-up. "Wu Mu's performance is really amazing. His recent shots are getting more and more impressive. The shot of him sitting in the train yesterday when it was blocked by heavy snow in the wilderness was absolutely amazing!"
Are you desperate too?
Wu Mu was very suspicious whether Lou Ziwen was also carrying out some dark plan.
Lin Qingyue looked at Yan Yongmei and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Yan Yongmei thought about it and said, "I think this film has a better chance of success at the Tokyo Film Festival than at the Cannes Film Festival."
Wu Mu had heard from Lin Qingyue before that this film was planned to be exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival because the timing was just right. The Cannes Film Festival on Blue Star is held around February every year, so it would be ready for the exhibition once filming and post-production were completed.
After the exhibition, the film will be approved for release in China and can also take advantage of the popularity of the film festival to sell more box office revenue.
Yan Yongmei must have considered it carefully. "Although I personally think our film is well shot, the plot is relatively simple and the theme is not very complex and profound. It may not suit the taste of Cannes."
The three major film festivals have their own preferences for film selection. Cannes prefers films that explore human nature and social issues.
"But it's different at the Tokyo Film Festival. The audiences on the island country will definitely like the style of our film. If we show it there, there will be greater hope."
This relatively fresh and simple film really suits the taste there.
Moreover, compared with the three major ones, the Tokyo Film Festival is less difficult and still has some value. After all, it is one of the 14 major ones.
But after listening to Yan Yongmei's words, Lin Qingyue smiled and shook her head, "Just go to Cannes. If we can't win, we'll do the next one."
Although her goal was to shoot what she liked and win awards at the same time, Lin Qingyue did not force it, as this was only her first feature-length work.
After having a good meal in Beijing, the crew began to move to the southern province for filming.
In the Southern Province, it is not basically all Wu Mu's one-man show. The second female lead Liu Miao also has a considerable part in the show.
He is also relatively free and has time to take a vacation occasionally.
Then the Korean endorsement project that had been discussed before came knocking on the door again.
Since he was going to the southern province instead of the capital, Wu Mu brought his assistant with him this time.
Shu Mei also followed. She usually worked as the company's contact person and assistant in charge of some online affairs. She found Wu Mu early in the morning and said happily, "Boss, Korea Yameng Company wants you to be on "Super Challenge."
Super challenge?
"It's a very popular variety show in South Korea. Oh, by the way, Lee Jung-hoon is a regular guest in Super Challenge."
Ok?
what?
Wu Mu was surprised, "Don't they know about me and Li Zhengxun?"
"Of course they know. That senior executive in their company is a fan of yours, boss. How could they not know about this? They must have done this on purpose to increase the popularity."
Shu Mei seemed to be looking forward to it. "Boss, are we going to be on this show? Let's give that Li Zhengxun a good beating!"
Wu Mu looked at her speechlessly. The flying guest was going to give the regular guest a hard time, right? Normally, shouldn't the regular guest bully the flying guest?
Shu Mei obviously has a blind confidence in her boss. She thinks that with her boss's variety show ability, he can be bullied even if he is a regular guest on this show!
She gave Wu Mu a detailed introduction to the program. "This program is a bit like the celebrity agency you participated in before. It also doesn't have a fixed theme. However, it is not commissioned by anyone. Instead, the program team will set a theme for each episode, and then all the guests will compete around this theme."
"The theme of the next issue is the city escape game. Yameng Company said that they think this theme is suitable for you, boss. If you use it in this issue, it will have a better effect."
Urban escape?
"Yes, I didn't send you the specific script, but the general content is that the police are chasing the fugitive guest in the city, and the guest needs to try every possible way to reach the escape point and escape successfully."
Is this relatively free stage really suitable for him to perform?
Wu Mu thought for a while, "When will the recording be?"
"The specific time has not been determined yet. We are also making comprehensive arrangements for the guests' schedules, but it will be roughly next week," said Shu Mei.
"Then I'll ask Director Lin about the filming schedule for next week to see if I can leave the crew."
It was something we had already discussed before, so if you have time, you can take it up earlier.
In addition to the show, there are also details about the endorsement. "Yameng Company has made the reservation after your appearance on the show, and will announce their endorsement plan. They would like to invite you to participate in the offline announcement event."
Ok?
Didn’t you agree in advance not to participate in offline activities?
Wu Mu looked at Shu Mei strangely.
Shu Mei naturally knew what kind of person her boss was, and quickly added, "If they are willing to pay more, up to two million, it will probably only take the morning."
Add money
Wu Mu sighed. Two million for a morning, this was really a relief.
This Yameng company is really generous.
However, it is probably a new product line and we have high hopes for it, and we are also looking forward to the endorsement effect he can have.
If the results are not as expected or do not meet the standards, don't expect capitalists, especially Korean chaebols, to really talk to you emotionally.
Wu Mu shook his head and agreed indifferently.
The Korean endorsement issue is over, but the work is not over yet.
I don’t know if it was discussed beforehand, but Legendary Voice also came to us.
They were almost reaching the breakout round and needed Wu Mu to return to the game.
After Wu Mu withdrew from the competition, although the popularity dropped a lot, it was no longer a hot topic every episode.
But because of Mo Mo's appearance, the show still maintained a certain level of popularity.
In addition, this program format has attracted a lot of regular audiences.
Although everyone says that this kind of program that stirs up patriotic sentiment is disgusting and boring.
But physically, who doesn’t like to see local singers compete with foreign singers and then win?
After Wu Mu withdrew from the competition, Mo Mo continued Wu Mu's momentum. Although he did not win by a large margin like before, he still won first place in every issue.
Every time I can score a few points or even dozens of points higher than other players.
Just
"You said that He Jie, Cai Wanhai, and Yue Li were all eliminated, and now there are three Korean singers on the stage?" Wu Mu said, touching his chin.
"Well, now many Korean fans are saying online that the domestic Chinese entertainment industry is rotten. It's fine to entertain yourself, but if you really compare yourself with others, you can't compare at all. It can only be supported by one or two leading figures." Shu Mei nodded.
This is true. The Chinese entertainment industry is indeed rotten. Objectively speaking, there is indeed some gap in professionalism compared to other regions.
But isn’t the Korean entertainment industry also rotten, it’s just rotten in another dimension. Singers and stars are just playthings of the chaebols, and all kinds of scandals are so explosive that it’s hard to believe that this is the endless stream of scandals in modern society.
Well, if you think about it, maybe the more developed it is, the worse it gets?
For example, American entertainment
Wu Mu muttered in his heart and asked, "Wu Feng wants me to pick the next Korean singer?"
"Yes, the pace of this matter is getting faster and faster. Star City TV is under a lot of pressure."
Although it is a program that relies on traffic, a state-owned television station cannot really do something like singing praises for foreign singers.
"Okay, I'll choose one then."
The Legendary Voice program is ranked a little behind the Korean endorsement, and it’s still early.
After discussing the company's matters, Wu Mu, who had no work this morning, found a place, took out a black language textbook and started studying.
Shu Mei, who was secretly taking photos of today's photos, looked at the book in his hand curiously, and then said in surprise, "Boss, are you learning French?!"
"Ah."
"Boss, French was my elective course in college! You can come to me if you want to learn it!" Shu Mei was very happy.
The brother who studies hard becomes twice as handsome!
"No, I can just look at it myself."
It takes so long to find someone to learn from, you have to ask one by one.
Then Shu Mei watched Wu Mu flipping through the book quickly.
Her happy smile froze for a moment.
But I recovered immediately.
It’s okay, the brother who is reading a book seriously is still very handsome.
"Boss, I really can. I originally planned to study abroad in France."
To prove that she could, Shu Mei said directly, "Mon frère est si beau."
She spoke in French with a Chinese accent.
Then she looked at Wu Mu expectantly, wanting Wu Mu to ask her what it meant, and then she would slowly answer him, and by the way, talk about the several grammatical methods of this sentence.
Wu Mu glanced at her.
"Appelez-moi patron."
Spoken in standard French without any accent.
Shu Mei: “.”
???
Shu Mei's pupils trembled and she looked at Wu Mu in shock.
She just said in French that her brother is so handsome, and Wu Mu replied to him, calling him boss.
No, you really can!
And his accent is much more standard than his! ?
Shu Mei was somewhat shocked and couldn't help asking, "Boss, when did you learn this?"
"I haven't learned it yet. I understand what I have seen and heard, but I don't understand what I haven't seen."
What a humble brother!
Such a standard accent, and yet you can understand it, that completely means you have already mastered it.
Shu Mei couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how long have you been learning this? Why haven't I seen you learn this before?"
This is a bit wrong. Including French, her new brother can already speak Cantonese, Russian, English and French.
It can be said that he learned Cantonese because his hometown is close to Guangdong Province.
When did you learn these other three languages?
Wu Mu did some calculations and said, "It should be almost seven or eight days in total."
It turns out that I only learned it for seven or eight days. No wonder it is so good.
Shu Mei's face froze a little bit. After being silent for several seconds, she said seriously, "Boss, don't say that on the show next time. It's impressive enough that you can speak French. Boasting like that will affect everyone's impression."
Ok?
Who is bragging?
Just seven or eight days!
Wu Mu snorted in his heart and looked at his employee.
Shu Mei was still unaware and exclaimed, "Boss, you are amazing! How can you learn so many languages?"
"But boss, why don't you learn Japanese or Korean? Aren't these two more commonly used in daily life?" she asked curiously.
Wu Mu looked at her with a smile, "Is it possible that I have already finished learning?"
