Chapter 48 Preparations for
Chapter 48 Preparations for Ip Man 3
Find out for me, who is this Xu Mu, and which rock did he jump out of?!
Xu Mu's act of airborne hot search immediately angered the directors who were about to release the Spring Festival movie.
Tell me, what is this called?
There are still more than ten days before their movie will be released, and now is the most critical moment for publicity.
The competition for headline hot searches has also entered a white-hot stage.
But, you're a martial artist, you don't get any headlines!
Director Zhang, this person is also a director.
A director too?
That's right, Ip Man 2 was shot by him.
What, you're talking about that little director whose Lunar New Year box office surpasses Li Hua's box office?
Yes, Director Zhang.
He also has a movie released during the Spring Festival?
No.
Then why is he in the headlines when he has nothing to do? Isn't this a waste of resources? Wait, no, how did he beat the world boxing champion as a director? What is this all about?
When the directors who had movies released during the Spring Festival checked Xu Mu's situation, they found that he had no movies released during the Spring Festival.
Suddenly, everyone felt a burst of anger.
It's okay to mess up the headlines, don't you mean to make things difficult for everyone.
Also, is it okay for you, a director, to compete with the boxing champion?
Are you from the entertainment industry, or from the martial arts world?
But judging by your appearance, you are so good at kung fu, why not focus on mixing martial arts.
You have nothing to come to the entertainment industry to join in the fun.
Moreover, the entertainment industry is not as simple as you imagined!
Xu Mu made headlines for defeating boxing champion Tai Lin, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many film directors who were released during the Spring Festival.
However, Xu Mu, who was the person involved, didn't know it at all.
Because he had already returned to the hotel at this time, and he was going to go back the next day and immediately prepare for the crew.
After the Spring Festival, he started filming immediately.
For this reason, after the game, he deliberately rejected Song Dongdong's invitation for a supper.
What kind of supper are you eating!
These are not as important as making money!
February 2nd.
Early in the morning, Xu Mu got on the plane back to Hengcheng.
On the plane, he was extremely excited.
Because, before boarding the plane, Xu Mu received the bank card deposit information.
A total of 28 million Huaxia coins!
Because the game bonus belongs to personal income, 20% personal income tax needs to be paid.
So Xu Mu finally received only 28 million Huaxia coins.
Three hours later, Xu Mu returned to his home in Hangcheng.
As soon as he got home, without saying a word, he directly started calling the actors of the previous crew.
Hey, Zheng Hao, are you busy?
It's okay. Recently, several crews have asked me to film. What's the matter, Director Xu, what's the matter?
It's nothing, just after the Spring Festival, I'm going to prepare to shoot Ip Man 3. Are you free then?
Ah, this, actually, my schedule is quite full recently. But director Xu, don't worry, even if I push back other film appointments, I will definitely go to your place.
After Zheng Hao knew why Xu Mu called him, he hesitated a little, but he quickly agreed.
Because of the popularity of Ip Man 2, Zheng Hao has received a lot of dramas recently.
So, he is still very busy now.
Although he is not number one and number two, he has changed from a stand-in to a character actor, which is already very good.
However, compared with Xu Mu's movies, these are far behind.
Therefore, after a little hesitation, Zheng Hao agreed to Xu Mu.
The reason why I hesitated was because I didn't know that Xu Mu would shoot Ip Man 3 so soon. After all, it was only two days after the movie was released. And he has also taken on a lot of plays these days.
Therefore, Zheng Hao hesitated for a moment.
It's not hesitation, it's just a little surprised.
Okay then, let's talk about it.
No problem, Director Xu.
beep beep.
After the male number one was settled, Xu Mu started calling the female number one Zhang Jing again.
As soon as the phone was connected, before Xu Mu could speak, the other person spoke first.
Director Xu, congratulations! Really, Director Xu, you are really amazing! Unexpectedly, you defeated the world boxing champion Tai Lin. Director Xu is Director Xu, and you really did not disappoint me.
Hearing the other party's words, Xu Mu was taken aback for a moment.
Dude, before I even said a word, you gave a rainbow fart.
You, really, are really embarrassing.
After hearing the other party's rainbow fart, Xu Mu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: Ahem, that's all luck. I didn't expect that I could beat Tai Lin. By the way, Zhang Jing, do you have time after the Spring Festival? ? I'm going to shoot Ip Man 3 here.
If you have time, Director Xu, I knew you must be calling to talk about this matter. I watched the competition video yesterday and knew that Ip Man 3 was going to be filmed. However, I didn't expect Director Xu's victory speech So unique, you are so talented!
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Jing's silver-like laughter came again.
And the other party had already read the headlines and found out that Xu Mu was going to make a movie sequel.
So before Xu Mu called, Zhang Jing spoke first.
Uh, that's fine, then we'll make an agreement, see you after the Spring Festival.
Alright Director Xu, see you after the Spring Festival.
Hearing that the opponent had seen the video of the match between him and the boxing champion, Xu Mu didn't think it was a big deal.
But he didn't expect that the other party would actually praise his victory speech, which made Xu Mu somewhat embarrassed.
Originally, Xu Mu also felt that there was something wrong with the victory speech, but when the other party said this, he felt that there was something wrong.
...
After finishing Zhang Jing, Xu Mu called other members of the previous crew.
After hearing Xu Mu's invitation, everyone agreed without hesitation.
So much so that they didn't ask how much the film was paid.
Of course, after the phone call, Xu Mu will also send them a unified contract, which will include the salary.
And Xu Mu will definitely not treat them badly.
The film crew is almost in contact, and now the last actor who will lead the role has not been finalized.
This person is Ye Wen's biggest opponent in Ip Man 3.
Zhang Tianzhi.
However, Xu Mu had no idea about the choice of actors for this new role.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't be sure today, anyway, the filming hasn't started yet, so he still has time to think about it.
However, Xu Mu has only one criterion for selecting candidates.
He only wants to be strong!
Of course, it would be even better if the pay was not too high.
Xu Mu has already calculated that after the box office share of Ip Man 2 plus the director's salary and taxes, he can get 14 million, and the prize money for the fight with the boxing champion is 28 million.
After paying off the debt, he still has about 35 million.
This money, as long as you don't invite big-name celebrities and small fresh meat, it is definitely enough.
Moreover, the post-production of the film can also be upgraded to a higher level.
Well, everything is fine.
In the next few days, Xu Mu also kept looking for an actor suitable for the role of Zhang Tianzhi.
However, the result was somewhat unsatisfactory.
There is no way, there are really too few actors who want good acting skills and low pay.
However, when Xu Mu was looking for an actor, some little fresh meat found him on their own initiative, and they recommended themselves one after another, wanting to play the role of Zhang Tianzhi.
But Xu Mu refused all of them.
How could he play the role of Zhang Tianzhi for Xiao Xianrou? It's simply impossible!
On the other hand, the news of Xu Mu's defeat of boxing champion Tai Lin also gradually became less popular due to time constraints, and thus was removed from the headlines.
This situation finally made the directors whose films were released during the Spring Festival a lot more comfortable.
You don’t have any movie releases during the Spring Festival, why do you have nothing to occupy the headlines!
Isn't it good now, everyone is happy!
However, this happy situation did not last long, because on February 8th, Xu Mu received a call, which changed everything again.
Finally came to test the water, thank you for your support, I hope you will follow up this week, I just want to advance once, thank you!
