Chapter 294 A Romance Movie
Time is spent on the go.

New Year's Day is approaching, and the films released on New Year's Day have started to be advertised crazily.

This year's Spring Festival is at the end of January, and the films released during the Spring Festival will naturally start to be widely publicized.

Although the investment of Marin's "People on the Journey" is not as good as those blockbuster films, the momentum is not much lower.

And when promoting this film, Mu Chen's gimmick was naturally indispensable.

Ma Lin wrote the screenplay, Mu Chen edited and supervised the production.

This film still attracts the attention of many fans.

Although Mu Chen's sci-fi film has not been heard so far, and while many fans are itching, they can only watch Marin's film related to Mu Chen to comfort him.

In fact, Marin already has a lot of box office appeal through the "Crazy" series of movies.

What's more, perhaps because of the relationship between Mu Chen, Zhao Jin, Wang Hao and others, the director Ma Lin is also very well-known.

Most of the directors are unknown, but there are also quite a few directors who are as well-known as those first-line stars.

Especially after Mu Chen became famous, movie fans paid more and more attention to the director.

Just after New Year's Day, the later stage of "Avatar" was finally completed.

This is Mu Chen's longest film, and it is completely completed.

Mu Chen felt his nerves relax a lot.

"The post-production of your movie is finished?" Li Ruoxi said with a smile seeing Mu Chen's expression.

"Yeah!" Mu Chen nodded and said, "It's about the same time as expected. However, there are still many things to do before the film is released."

Li Ruoxi naturally knew what else was going on.

Today, the 3D theaters under Chenxi Film and Television and the theaters under Wansheng Group have basically been completed.

However, this is clearly not enough!
With only these two theaters in China, this film is obviously far from Mu Chen's goal.

Li Ruoxi knew very well that Mu Chen wanted to use this movie to completely change the viewing habits of movie fans around the world, making 3D movies popular all over the world and becoming the most common format of movies.

"Will you be filming next year?" Mu Chen asked, looking at Mu Xue who was sleeping soundly not far away.

"After "Avatar" is released, are you going to America?" Li Ruoxi asked.

"I'll stay for a while." Mu Chen nodded and said, "Over there, I've already had someone buy a nice villa. When the time comes, will you go with me?"

"En!" Li Ruoxi nodded.

"If you want to make a movie, how about we make a movie in the first year?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Us?" Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen, but smiled.

"A low-budget romance movie." Mu Chen smiled and said, "Wait a minute."

Mu Chen said, then went to the study, took a printed script, and handed it to Li Ruoxi.

"When did you write it?" Li Ruoxi froze for a moment.

Li Ruoxi was at home and often went to the study.

She actually knew what script Mu Chen wrote.Even if Mu Chen hadn't fully conceived the movie universe, Li Ruoxi knew it well.

She even read the previous scripts.

"Just these few days." Mu Chen said with a smile, "I feel that you are addicted to movies, but you may not be willing to make films like "Tomb Raider". So, I wrote such a small budget, A film that doesn’t require traveling around to capture scenes.”

"Tomb Raider" is one of the films that Mu Chen prepared for Li Ruoxi.In fact, there is also the "Resident Evil" series, but Li Ruoxi gave it to Su Xiaowan.

If it is "Tomb Raider", it is estimated that I will have to go to many places to shoot.

The child is still young, Li Ruoxi is definitely not willing.

Filming is fine, but you can't go too far, and the shooting time can't be too long.

Mu Chen knew Li Ruoxi well.

"When filming this film, you can bring your children with you." Mu Chen said with a smile.

"I'll take a look first." Li Ruoxi immediately took the script and read it.

"Human Ghost Love Is Ending"?
Is this a romance movie, or a ghost movie?

In this film, the story is not complicated.

Mu Chen didn't make many changes, even the background was still in the United States.

It's just that the hero and heroine were replaced by Chinese actors.

Sam, a young bank clerk, is deeply in love with his fiancée, Mei Li.When she returned from watching a play, she was robbed by gangsters and Sam was shot dead. Meili was devastated.

From then on, Sam became a ghost, and he discovered that his friend Carl was the mastermind behind his death.In order to steal the huge sum of money in the bank, he wants to get the password that Sam has mastered, and pursues Mei Li again.

Sam gradually learned how to use power.

He often wanders around Molly, protecting her all the time, but unable to communicate.

In order to stop Karl, he finds Otta, a psychic who can communicate with ghosts, and gets in touch with Molly through her.

Molly didn't believe it at first.But the fact finally made her feel Sam's presence.However, two people who are deeply in love cannot contact and communicate directly.
From the perspective of the story structure, "Human and Ghost Love" tells just an ordinary love story of life and death, but it can be ingenious and set the development of the story in a unique marginal zone: between Yin and Yang.

So it became a ghost movie, a fantasy movie again.The hero and heroine love each other bitterly, but in the end they can't meet each other because of the yin and yang strangers.

The film uses ghosts and ghosts to produce a series of suspense and twists and turns. This allows the audience to immerse themselves in fantasy and reality. Sometimes they are happy, sometimes sad, sometimes inspired by justice, and finally they are inspired by the protagonist's life-and-death love. moved.

This film is obviously different from common romance films.

"Can this film be released in China?"

After a long time, Li Ruoxi put down the script and looked at Mu Chen.

She undoubtedly liked the script very much.However, in domestic films, once a "ghost" appears, it is basically difficult to pass the review.

This may be why domestic horror films, even if ghosts appear, are basically "spiritual fantasy" or "a dream" in the end.

It is difficult for domestic horror films to produce classics, and many movie fans have dumped the blame on the relevant departments.

Although somewhat biased, it is not without such factors.

However, there is indeed not much market for horror films in China.

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Mu Chen said, "The higher-ups have relaxed a lot about this aspect. Besides, my film puts the background of the story in the United States. If it doesn't work, I will add a paragraph in the domestic version to make the whole story into a single person. fantasy, or someone's dream."

"If you can pass the trial, that's good. If you can't, adding such a paragraph will inevitably be superfluous." Li Ruoxi sighed.

"Is there any way to do this? The national conditions are like this." Mu Chen shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

However, he felt that the possibility of passing the trial was not small.

If it really doesn’t work, first release the film abroad, and the influence will come out, and then talk to the above.

This film, the original version was popular all over the world in that time and space, and the box office received a good reputation.

In the early 90s, how big was the film market at that time?
Anyway, it is difficult to compare with today.

At that time, the movie had grossed $[-] million at the box office.

What about now?
Adding inflation, film market development and other factors, how much can the box office of this film reach?

Not to mention how much it has achieved, if it has the box office of the original version, it is also extremely good.

What's more, the film was nominated for multiple Oscars.

Among them, in addition to the female supporting role has a great performance in acting, the heroine also has.The performance of the original heroine's unrestrained performance made the audience mesmerized, deeply moved, and naturally left an extremely deep impression on the audience.

The effect of this film on Li Ruoxi may not be as good as "Tomb Raider".

Perhaps, the effect is even better.

"Avatar" has been produced, but it will not be released until next summer.

In half a year, Mu Chen filmed "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts", so naturally there was no problem at all.

However, before that, Mu Chen had to go to America first.

In the film, there are still some roles that need to be decided in advance.

Especially the female supporting black psychic Ota, this role is undoubtedly crucial to the role of the whole film.

Mu Chen needed a suitable actor with excellent acting skills.

Actors with excellent acting skills, if they don't figure out the role in advance, it may be difficult to achieve the desired effect.

Of course, an actor with excellent acting skills may not be suitable for this role.

"When will you watch the movie?" Li Ruoxi continued to ask.

She was naturally also extremely interested in Mu Chen's film, so she naturally wanted to see it quickly.

"Already in contact." Mu Chen said, "It will probably only take a few days."

Mu Chen, the 3D film with the largest investment, naturally attracted worldwide attention.

Those film dealers and theater owners would naturally not refuse the invitation of Chenxi Film and Television.

Mu Chen's film also has three formats, and those people were invited to watch it in the IMAX-3D format.

"The people who invited basically indicated that they would come." Chen Fuhai said, "If there is no accident, it will be in the IMAX hall of Chenxi Cinemas on January [-]. Many people in the circle have expressed strong interest in your film. Zhang Gang and others called directly to reserve a place."

"The theater should be able to accommodate it, right?" Mu Chen said.

"That's no problem." Chen Fuhai nodded.

"Before "Avatar" is released, I plan to shoot a romance movie with Ruoxi, set in the United States." Mu Chen continued, "You read the script first, then let Dream Films prepare first, and start preparations after the Chinese New Year .A low-budget film should not take much time."

"it is good."

Chen Fuhai nodded.

This film did not affect the previous plan.The opening work of the movie universe was originally planned to be after the release of "Avatar".

Mu Chen just took advantage of the gap before the movie was released to shoot a romance movie.

It's just that Ruoxi's drama addiction has come, or Mu Chen has thought about it again.

However, the romance movie starring Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi seems to be full of gimmicks.

But after Chen Fuhai read the script, he didn't have any doubts.

He understood why Mu Chen put his background in the United States, not in China.

The story is good, but the background is in China, which is obviously not so harmonious.

It is naturally feasible to put it in Xiangjiang.However, that is a bit worse for foreign box office.

Could it be that Mu Chen also had high hopes for this romance film, thinking that it would do well at the international box office?
