Chapter 85

The middle-aged man looked Qin Mu over carefully and praised him endlessly.

Handsome!

Truly very handsome!

Much better than those 'little fresh meats'!

"Uncle Liu!"

"What are you saying!"

Li Qin's pretty face flushed red, she glared at Uncle Liu, and hurriedly pulled Qin Mu to sit down, introducing him: "Uncle Liu is my father's old friend, he's a director."

"He has filmed many works, some of which are quite good."

"Brother Qin, you should have seen them too."

A director?

And I've seen them?

"By the way, Brother Qin, I haven't introduced myself yet."

"My name is Andrew Lau."

"Nice to meet you."

The middle-aged man smiled.

Huh?!

Andrew Lau?!

It was actually Andrew Lau!

Qin Mu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in surprise.

This was a big-name director!

He had filmed dozens of movies, most of which were classics.

Such as 'As Tears Go By', 'Young and Dangerous', 'The Storm Riders', 'The Wesley's Mysterious File', etc. These well-known movies were all his work!

Especially that 'Infernal Affairs', which directly sparked a nationwide movie-watching craze and won the annual box office champion in both Hong Kong and the mainland that year.

Besides that, 'Infernal Affairs' also won many international awards, letting foreigners see the power of our Chinese 'crime-thriller films'.

Not only that, Andrew Lau's strength was recognized by countless people; awards like 'Best Director' and 'Best Film' were things he got until his hands were soft.

It could be said that Director Andrew Lau's status was almost the same as Director Zhang Yimou's, just that the types of films they shot were different.

"I've long admired your name!"

Qin Mu said seriously.

To be honest, he had watched half of the movies Andrew Lau had filmed when he was a child.

It could be said that this senior had enriched his childhood.

"Brother Qin, I am the one who has long admired your name!"

"I've watched 'Keep Running', your vlogs, and Qinqin's cover photos."

"They were filmed really well!"

Andrew Lau laughed and praised him.

He had also started as a photographer, so in terms of understanding photography, he could be considered one of the best among directors.

When Li Qin introduced 'Brother Qin' to him before, he went to check him out.

He didn't know until he looked, and he was shocked when he did!

Camera movement, composition control, angle selection, portrait depiction, etc.

It could definitely be called first-class!

Most importantly, Qin Mu was still so young!

His future was unimaginable.

"Teacher Liu, you flatter me."

Qin Mu said modestly.

As a senior in the industry, calling him 'Teacher' was not an exaggeration.

"Alright..."

"Uncle Liu, tell me."

"Why did you ask me to bring Brother Qin over?"

Li Qin asked curiously.

She didn't know why Uncle Liu insisted on having her and Brother Qin come over at this time.

It was just after dinner, a great time for a 'date'!

Ahem.

Anyway, if Uncle Liu couldn't give a reason, he would be 'dealt with'!

"Hahaha."

"Then I won't beat around the bush."

Andrew Lau looked at Li Qin with a 'satisfied elder' gaze, laughed, and said to Qin Mu: "Brother Qin, I invited you here this time because I actually want to invite you to do a filming job."

Work?

Looking for me?

Hearing this, Qin Mu was stunned and said: "Teacher Liu, please feel free to speak."

"It's like this."

Andrew Lau sat in his chair, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said: "I'm currently filming a movie called 'The Captain', Qin knows about it, she has a role in it too."

Beside him, Li Qin nodded.

'The Captain' started filming two months ago.

She had a good role in it; although it wasn't the female lead, it wasn't a minor supporting role either, after all, it was an ensemble cast.

Everyone's screen time was relatively equal.

Just a few days before the last recording of 'Keep Running', her scenes were finished.

"Uncle Liu."

"Are you planning to ask Brother Qin to film a movie, but haven't you already finished filming most of it!"

Li Qin pouted.

"The movie is about to be finished."

"But I want to ask Brother Qin to help me film a promotional video."

"A promotional video for 'The Captain'."

Andrew Lau smiled.

"Is Teacher Liu planning to film a separate promotional video for the movie?"

Qin Mu pondered.

Generally speaking, there are two choices for movie promotional videos.

One is to cut out exciting clips from the movie and splice them together, and the other is to film a separate one, making the promotional video more complete so people won't be confused.

Of course, most directors now choose the first one because it's simple and direct, and doesn't cost extra money.

However, there are still many big directors who use the second method.

Because they want to take the movie to various film festivals to compete and win awards, and at this time, the promotional video is very important!

Besides that, some big-budget movies will specifically make a promotional video unrelated to the movie's plot to prevent spoilers.

For example, the various superhero movies under Marvel Studios.

Before every release, they will throw out a few promotional videos, creating hype while keeping fans guessing about the plot.

"Yes."

"It just depends on whether Brother Qin is interested."

Andrew Lau nodded.

'The Captain' was a work he had spent many years preparing; spending money to make an independent promotional video was not only to warm up the market but also to take it to major international film festivals.

He attached great importance to this.

It just so happened that Li Qin let him know about Qin Mu; such a photography genius was exactly the main photographer he wanted!

On the side, Li Qin didn't make a sound.

But in her heart, she was shocked and pleasantly surprised.

She had participated in the filming, so she naturally knew how high the movie's budget was, how well the actors performed, and how wonderful the script was.

If nothing went wrong, it would definitely be a dark horse among the many movies this year, and it wouldn't be impossible to even take the annual box office champion.

And now...

Uncle Liu was actually asking Brother Qin to film the movie's promotional video!

It was simply a rare good opportunity!

"Teacher Liu."

"Can I understand the requirements first?"

Qin Mu asked seriously after thinking for a while.

An opportunity!

A great opportunity!

It could even be said to be a stepping stone for him to enter the film and television industry.

And one with a quite high starting point.

After all, it was produced by Director Andrew Lau, so even at its worst, it would at least be above the passing line!

However, he still wouldn't rashly accept the order.

If the style was suitable and the requirements were normal, then he would accept it.

Otherwise, he'd better forget it.

After all, Qin Mu had always been extremely serious about his work and would never be the least bit slack.

"Of course!"

"This is the general idea for the promotional video."

"Brother Qin, take a look first, and if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Andrew Lau nodded secretly, and there was much more approval in his gaze toward Qin Mu.

Immediately after, he took a document from the side and handed it over.

Such a temperament, such strictness.

He was someone who could achieve great things!

You have to know, if other photographers received such an order, they would definitely agree without saying a word.

Regardless of whether they could film it or if it was their style.
