Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 207 206. Even if you have a new movie, you will give it to the empress first, right?

After Liu Tianxian came back and stayed with Wei Wu for one night, he went back to school the next day.

Wei Wu also returned to the company and began to concentrate on the post-production of "Painted Skin".

As a result, just after noon, the front desk suddenly announced that Yang Mi was here, and of course Wei Wu let her in immediately.

When Yang Mi opened the door and came in, Wei Wu discovered that she was carrying a thermos bucket in her hand.

"What delicious food did you bring for me?"

Yang Mi happily introduced: "Mutton stewed with radish. The temperature has just cooled down today, so eating this now is just nourishing!"

While Yang Mi was talking, she skillfully placed the thermos bucket on the coffee table, then took out the soup, rice and several dishes of side dishes and placed them in order.

I have to admit that Yang Mi has become very good at her craftsmanship recently. As soon as the lid is opened, the house is full of aroma.

Naturally, Wei Wu was generous in praising: "Wow, it smells so good!"

Hearing her lover's compliment, Yang Mi's fox eyes were filled with smiles, like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.

"As long as you like it, if you like to drink it, I can give it to you every day!

"Thanks to the house you gave me, it only takes 10 minutes to get to the company from my house. Look at this mutton soup, it's still steaming when it's delivered!"

Wei Wu immediately waved his hand and said, "No, it's too much trouble! If I want to eat next time, I can just call in advance and go there."

The main reason is that there are so many people in the company and there are many people talking. If it were sent every day, it would be difficult for the news to reach Liu Tianxian's ears, and it would be another troublesome time.

Wei Wu washed his hands, then sat down to prepare for lunch, and casually invited:

"You've made so much and I can't finish it. Why don't we eat together?"

Yang Mi shook her head and said, "No, I've already eaten."

However, despite Wei Wu's repeated invitations, she finally filled up half a bowl of soup despite her kindness. She sipped it in small sips and said with a little embarrassment:

"Well, I was full after eating at home, but it was only 10 minutes later, and now my stomach is a little empty again."

"Isn't that normal? You are so young, your metabolism must be fast!"

Wei Wu was going to scoop some mutton for her again, but this time she said nothing.

While the two were eating, Wei Wu began to ask casually:

"Why are you so happy today? What's the matter?"

Yang Mi couldn't help laughing: "Director Xue Xiaolu called me this morning and informed me that I got the lead role of Zheng Wei in "To Youth".

"This is the first time in my life that I have played a heroine in a movie. Can I be unhappy?

Yang Mi said and looked at Wei Wu affectionately:

"You, this guy, is really hard-spoken and soft-hearted. You must have spoken for me, right?"

Wei Wu drank the soup in big gulps, took out a tissue, wiped his mouth and said frivolously:

"No, I just put your information sheet on the top of my desk when she came to discuss casting with me!"

Yang Mi laughed loudly after hearing this, her chest swayed, and she said with joy:

"Really? Is the hint so obvious?"

Wei Wu also laughed: "Okay, to be honest, it was Teacher Xue Xiaolu who said when discussing the casting with me, how about this role for Yang Mi?

"Then of course I agree to it! Is it possible to say no?"

Yang Mi wrinkled her nose: "Humph! If you dare to say no, you will never touch me again!

"I'm going to find an opportunity to stab you while you're sleeping!"

Wei Wu clamped his thighs together and pretended to be scared: "Hi~ Is it necessary to be so cruel?"

Yang Mi nodded with a smile and said: "This is my first movie heroine. If I don't have it, I will really have to fight for it! What do you think?"

"OK OK", Wei Wu raised his hands in a gesture of surrender:

"I have received your determination! But there is no need for you to be so short-sighted, right?

"As long as you coax me well, are you still worried that there will be no movie heroines for you to play in the future?"

Yang Mi couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Really? Even if you have a new movie, you will give it to the empress first, right?"

"I guess it's our turn only if she can't act or doesn't like it, right?"

Wei Wu was a bit uncomfortable with this, so he could only lower his head and drink soup to hide his embarrassment.

However, Yang Mi also gave up when she saw the good news, and instead of continuing to pursue the victory, the conversation changed and she talked about the actors in "To Youth":

"I heard that the male protagonist Chen Xiaozheng is planning to marry Liu Ye? Has it been negotiated?"

Wei Wu nodded and said, "Yes, he was the first to decide and the contract was finalized and signed long ago.

"After all, in the film project of "Havoc in Heaven", it has been planned that "To Youth" will be the first one to be shot.

"And Teacher Xue started preparations a few months ago! It should be launched soon, right?"

Among the six films planned by Havoc in Heaven, youth films will definitely be given priority because the scenes in youth films are simple and the key is that the investment is relatively small.

Generally speaking, it can be done with an investment of 7 to 8 million, and generally no more than 10 million.

If Wei Wu came to shoot it, he might be able to do it for 5 million, but I'm afraid they can't. Moreover, as a novice director, the cost of trial and error will increase to some extent.

The production cost of "The Chaser" should not be less than 15 million. As for "Greed Wolf", it might have to be shot in Thailand, which may not be able to get it without 30 million.

Therefore, these two movies must be filmed later. Especially "The Greedy Wolf", which can definitely only be filmed in the last of the six movies.

On the one hand, we have to wait for the previous movies to become famous and increase the attention and influence of the "Havoc in Heaven" movie project, so that "Greed Wolf" can have a higher box office, thereby ensuring that it will be profitable in the end.

On the other hand, I have to wait until the previous movie is released to see the money back.

In this way, when the company's economy is relatively strong, it can launch film projects with larger investment.

What's more, suspense films and action films like this don't have that strict age requirement for the leading actors. There is no difference at all between two years in advance and two years in delay.

But youth films are different. Relatively speaking, the younger the protagonists, the better. People like Tang Shixian are just the right age.

If we push it back two years and they play high school students or college students, the effect will definitely not be as good as it is now.

Ning Hao is now the artistic director of Bad Monkey Pictures. Wei Wu is currently working on "Painted Skin" and is unable to work in the post-production period, so he can work as a supervisor on the set and be responsible for guiding new directors.

Anyway, Ning Hao has already made several movies now, and he is not as anxious as others about the release of new movies.

So he can still afford to wait. In this case, "The Murderer" can be moved forward a little bit.

Yang Mi nodded and replied: "It will start in 10 days, on the 20th of this month."

Wei Wu frowned: "Um, aren't you going to film "Sheep Herding Stars" at the end of next month? Is that enough time?"

Yang Mi explained: "I discussed this with Director Xue, and she said that we can focus on filming my scenes first.

"We will start filming "Sheep Star" on December 27th. If we start filming on the 20th of this month, there will still be 37 days in between.

“If I focus on filming my scenes, I should be able to finish them.

"Even if I can't finish filming, I can still come back and reshoot when I have a temporary break from "Sheep Herding Stars" later on.

"After all, the filming there isn't all done in one go. It's probably only for a few months at most, and then I'll take a break."

Wei Wu nodded slightly: "That's right, then there should be no problem!"

Yang Mi asked him again: "What about the other main characters in our movie? Who are you planning to cast?"

Wei Wu was a little surprised: "Didn't Teacher Xue tell you?"

Yang Mi said embarrassedly: "She only told me that Liu Ye would play Chen Xiaozheng. As for the other people, I was so excited at the time that I forgot to ask."

So Wei Wu introduced her: "Okay, Lu Yi will star as Lin Jing, Tang Yan will star as Ruan Guan, Liu Shishi will star as Zhu Xiaobei, Mao Xiaotong will star as Li Weijuan, and Zheng Kai will star as Xu Kaiyang."

"Oh", Yang Mi nodded, and then couldn't help but ask:

"But Lu Yi...if I remember correctly, isn't he almost 30 this year?"

Wei Wu put his hand on his forehead and said speechlessly: "Please, have you read the script carefully?

"Lin Jing is Zheng Wei's brother next door. He is 5 years older than her! Others have been working for a long time and are not college students!"

Yang Mi's pretty face turned red immediately, she covered her face and whispered:

"Okay, okay, stop scolding, I know I was wrong!"
