my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 367

Movie universes are definitely more profitable and less risky than movie franchises.

A series of movies, if one movie fails, then the series will be concluded.

This type of movie basically cannot escape the prequel and follow-up routines. In terms of story development, it has great limitations.Moreover, it is easy to cause "the end of the dog to continue the mink", and it is also easy to cause aesthetic fatigue.

But the movie world is different.

For example, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the last time and space, the box office of "The Incredible Hulk" wasn't high, right?Other films were not affected much.

Even the role of the Hulk is not low in popularity in other films.

If it wasn't for issues such as copyright, it might not be possible to make personal films again.

The failure of a film has little impact on the layout of the entire film world.What's more, the interaction and complementarity between films also have unexpected benefits.

Moreover, the story is more developed and will always bring some surprises to movie fans.

However, it is definitely not that easy to create a world of Chinese mythology.

Its difficulty is definitely more difficult than the superhero movies created by Mu Chen.

No matter how difficult it is, it is worth trying.

Mu Chen and others returned to China one after another, while Zhao Jin and the others stayed behind, planning to play for a few days before returning to China.

This can be regarded as a honeymoon while sneaking in.

After returning to China, he continued to be busy with the post-production of "The Avengers", and occasionally participated in the preparatory work of "Chasing the Deer".

Not long after, the Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony was held, and Mu Chen was invited to be the guest presenter for the best film.

Of course, even if he was not invited to be the award presenter, Mu Chen would still go.

After all, in addition to "Kung Fu" being nominated for best screenplay, "Transformers" was also nominated for best soundtrack.

I don't know if it's due to the reputation of the films of Chenxi Film and Television, or the bombardment of Hollywood blockbusters. Domestic movie fans are more and more interested in the quality of movies.

This has also prompted many film and television companies to work hard on it.

The quality of Chinese-language movies is naturally getting higher and higher.This has also led to increasingly fierce competition for the Golden Dragon Award.

Those who were able to be shortlisted in the past may not even get a nomination now.

Those who were able to win prizes in the past may only be soy sauce now.

This year's Golden Dragon Awards competition is also extremely fierce.

"Transformers" directed by Mu Chen won four awards for Best Soundtrack, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Effects.

Mu Chen did not return empty-handed.

And Yu Yun's "Men in Black" took a consolation prize for the best costume props.

Qiu Li's "Resident Evil 2" returned empty-handed, and even lost to "Kung Fu" for the most popular action director!
The awards won by "Kung Fu" are a little better. In addition to action direction, it also won three awards: Best Newcomer, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Actress.

With the role of the charter woman in "Kung Fu", Zhen Pei was directly named queen, which was beyond the expectations of many people.

The best actor, best director, and best picture, but "Kung Fu" missed.

There are many good films in this year's Golden Dragon Awards, and the competition is far fiercer than expected.

Although Chenxi Film and Television did not win the three awards of Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, it is definitely the most eye-catching among many film and television companies.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Chenxi Film and Television is the biggest winner of this year's Golden Dragon Awards.

Some film and television companies don't even have a consolation prize.

"Isn't the Golden Dragon Award clamoring for internationalization? Why has there been no movement?" Marin said with some doubts.

This year, the conditions for participating in the Golden Dragon Awards are still limited.

Chinese movies are still the only ones there.

"I guess the resistance is too great." Mu Chen thought for a while and said.

However, after speaking, he looked at Chen Mouzhi and the others.

"The internationalization of the Golden Dragon Award is imperative." Chen Mouzhi said, "Mr. Xie resigned and recommended Lao Zhang to be the chairman of the executive committee of the Golden Dragon Award. If you were not too young, Mr. Xie would still recommend you."

If Chinese-language films want to increase their international influence, the internationalization of the Golden Dragon Awards is an inevitable trend.

If you just close the door and say hello, it is inevitable that the layout will be a bit small.

But there are some things that can be changed wherever they are said to change.

"Director Zhang will be the chairman of the executive committee?" Mu Chen looked at Zhang Gang.

"Mr. Xie pushed me out because he intends to reform the Golden Dragon Award." Zhang Gang nodded and said, "When the time comes, you should support me a lot!"

"Of course I support it." Mu Chen said with a smile.

When Zhang Gang heard it, he smiled.

If one were to say who has the greatest international influence among domestic filmmakers, it must be Mu Chen.

What's more, Mu Chen is not only the boss of the largest film and television company in China, but also the boss of a Hollywood film and television company.

Not to mention anything else, he can at least let the films produced by Dream Films participate in the selection.

In this way, there will be no dilemma of no foreign films participating.

But, that's all.

No one would think that the Golden Dragon Awards will be free of restrictions, and there will be no foreign films to participate in the election.

As the world's second largest film market, if it can show its face at the China Golden Dragon Awards, it will definitely be beneficial for its films to be released in China.

Of course, whether it can be screened in China, the Golden Dragon Award doesn't matter, and the relevant departments have to approve it.

After all, there is a limit to the number of films introduced each year.

Mu Chen is undoubtedly the most influential filmmaker in the country. If he supports it, many things will go smoothly.

The reform of the Golden Dragon Award involves many things and involves many issues.

Otherwise, it would not have been tossing for so long, and there was no movement.

However, this has nothing to do with Mu Chen.

Shortly after the Golden Dragon Award ceremony, the preparations for "Chasing the Deer" were completed, and it was launched immediately.

"Chasing the Deer" is the highlight of Chenxi Film and Television this year, such a big move naturally attracted countless media reporters to attend.

The leading actor of this film, Mu Ze, has seldom appeared in domestic films in recent years.

What's more, in addition to Mu Ze, Zhao Jin and others participated in this film.

Any one of them can hold up a blockbuster.

Such a lineup, how can it not attract attention.

There are so many big names gathered in one film, and the director is still an unknown newcomer director.

The director, He Dehe Neng, not only got the support of Mu Chen, but also Liu Guohua.

This naturally aroused the curiosity of many people.

At the launch conference, not only Mu Chen was present, but Liu Guohua was also present.

"Director Mu, "Chasing the Deer" has invested over one billion yuan. Why did Chenxi Film and Television allow a new director to direct such a blockbuster movie?"

When it came to the reporter's questioning session, a reporter couldn't wait to say.

With an investment of over one billion, let alone in China, it would definitely be considered a blockbuster in Hollywood.

"Feng Yi is not a new director." Mu Chen said with a smile, "He directed a film "Chang'an" before, and then served as the assistant director of "Transformers". .”

"As for why he was appointed to direct, I naturally think he is the most suitable director of this film." Mu Chen said, "I also believe that he has the ability to make this film well."

That being said, the main reason why Feng Yi was able to get the directing rights of this film is because he is the screenwriter of this film, and he owns the copyright of the film.

"Then Director Mu, as the producer of this film, will you stay on the set?"

a reporter asked next.

He is the producer of almost all of Mu Chen's scripted works, but many people know that he has never even been to the crew of most of those films.

This is no secret.

But if Mu Chen has been staying in the crew of this film, there is no doubt that he does not trust Feng Yi.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face.

Mu Chen is not a newcomer, how can he not hear the "ambush" in it, and then said with a smile: "I will fulfill my duties as a producer. However, it is unlikely that I will stay on the set all the time. You know , I'm usually very busy."

Which producer didn't stay on the set all the time?
If you don't stay with the crew, you still have the nerve to say that you are fulfilling your duties as a producer?
However, the quality of the films produced by Mu Chen seems to be guaranteed.

Mu Chen's underlying meaning is naturally to guarantee the quality of this film.

"Mr. Liu Guohua, it is rumored that this film was made by you. The film invested more than one billion yuan. Did you invest?"

The reporter looked at Liu Guohua and asked immediately.

"Yes!" Liu Guohua said with a smile, "However, my investment is completely negligible. I'm not as rich and powerful as Director Mu."

Chenxi Film and Television is well-known in the industry for its wealth and wealth.

If a movie worth more than one billion yuan is placed in other film and television companies, it is estimated that no one will dare to eat it alone.

But Chenxi Film and Television dared, not only ate it alone, but also did not affect the shooting of other blockbuster films.

The huge amount of funds is eye-catching.

The risk assessment of this film is not low, even Chenxi Film and Television is prepared to lose money.

Even so, Liu Guohua still invested, and the big reason is that he contributed to this film.

"Mu Ze, you have been acting in Hollywood films for the past two years, why did you return to China to act in this film this time?"

There were a lot of big names present, so it was impossible for the media reporters to only make money around Mu Chen and Liu Guohua.

In terms of international fame, Mu Ze is now much higher than Liu Guohua.

When Mu Ze was asked, Zhao Jin, who was married not long ago, naturally had to be under the special attention of media reporters.

During the entire press conference, the person who was asked the fewest questions by reporters was the director Feng Yi.

Moreover, in the questions asked about Mu Chen and others, it is not difficult to hear the contempt and distrust of him as a director.

"Make this film well, and those reporters won't belittle you so much."

At the end of the press conference, Liu Guohua patted Feng Yi, who was different, and said with a smile, "Listen to Director Mu's opinion more. You have been in contact with him, so you should know how powerful he is."

Feng Yi nodded.

He naturally knew how powerful Mu Chen was.

As for this film, Feng Yi also knew that if it failed, his career as a director would probably be over.

He feels a lot of pressure, but he also knows that if he can bear the pressure and make this film well, then his career will be smooth.

At this time, Feng Yi felt that his shoulders were heavy, and his chest was holding his breath.

He was high-spirited, but also somewhat lacking in confidence.
