Big names rise

It is now mid-February, and "My Beautiful Boss" is scheduled to be released in March. Anyway, the 2D version of "Avatar" has been drawn, leaving only 3D and imax-3D, which will have little impact on ordinary Chinese films. "Du Lala's Promotion" is expected to be released in April. It could have been earlier, but considering the intensity of competition and schedule factors, it was finally set in April. This schedule is expected to be dominated by "Du Lala".

The film crew of "On the Journey" hopes to release it in June. In fact, it is definitely more suitable for them to put this film in the Lunar New Year file, because it tells the story of going home for the New Year. Mizuki also persuaded Huaqi to hope to postpone it, but the production Fang hopes to recover the cost as soon as possible. After all, it is a small company and cannot afford it. This film cannot invest in the next project without income. Therefore, Mizuki also expressed his understanding that he wanted to release it in the first half of the year. He could only do his best to help them publicize issued.

As for "Decisive Battle in Shama Town", it can be released in April at the earliest, and even at the end of the year at the latest. He Mu has high hopes for this movie and hopes that he can catch up with a good schedule. The nearest big schedule will definitely be summer vacation It's time to file, although there are blockbusters such as "Tangshan Earthquake" vying for the schedule, but now the film market has a large capacity, He Mu believes that such a large schedule can still coexist, so it was finally set in early July, and "People in Jiong" "The Way" was released half a month before "Tangshan Earthquake".

In March, April, June, and July, Mizuki has new films coming out, why not arrange a movie in May, so that there will be a Mizuki movie dedicated to the audience every month during these five months, He Mu to Tao Quduo made a phone call, and the filming of "Girls in Art School" went smoothly.Now that it has come to an end, the special effects producer He Mu found Nicholas Tse's Po Chao Ting to replace Xuan Tian, ​​and his strength is very guaranteed.He Mu asked Director Tao if he had any problems with the release in May, and Tao Quduo said no problem.He has no special affection for the four major ghost festivals, and he doesn't insist. Horror movies, especially those from the mainland, don't have such high requirements for schedules, because horror movies themselves are weak, and the schedule development is not perfect. All about the same.It's far from the horror movies that get together on Halloween like in the United States, including "Cold Heart" which is also tentatively scheduled to be released on Halloween in October.

Then it's settled, "My Beautiful Boss" in March, "Du Lala's Promotion" in April, "Girls in Art School" in May, "People on the Journey" in June, and "The Final Battle" in July. town".Except for the overlapping genres of "囧路" and "Shama Town", the other films all have their own characteristics and target different audiences.He Mu decided to hold a collective publicity next year, so that these films will be shown together.Mizuki only released three films last year.Just at the beginning of this year, there are five films that have been confirmed, which are obviously much stronger. The situation is very gratifying, and Shuimu Forest also needs to show its muscles to the outside world.

"I hope to finish this matter before I go back to the United States. Now I will contact the various crews. If there is no trailer, I will cut one immediately. If there is no poster, I will ask the lotus leaf downstairs to help design one. We will attack with all our strength! "He Mu said confidently.

Before leaving, He Mu went to Lan Chenxing's drama creation department.More than a month ago, he gave Lan Chenxing and the others an idea, which was the truck racing.He Mu compiled some script elements from what he had seen and heard on the highway and told Lan Chenxing that his team would be responsible for verifying whether it was feasible, and if so, start writing the script.Now they have built the basic framework of the script. After reading it, He Mu is full of praise. The content of this script is very routine and very commercial. Once this one is successful, it can be easily copied and made into a series. Just like "Fast and Furious", but Lan Chenxing said that he wanted to use a truck to shoot sports cars. Although it would be cheaper, it would be very difficult to produce. I am afraid that no domestic team would dare to take on this job, and Although it is a passionate collision between trucks, the cost of this kind of film is by no means small. For the current Shuimu Forest, independent investment is extremely difficult.

He Mu understands what Lan Chenxing said, "I know, you can write the script first, even if you can't shoot it now, you can put it away, maybe we can find overseas cooperation partners." "Fast and Furious 5" is about to be filmed, and He Mu is still very interested in the Fast and Furious team.

The sixth floor is the territory of tigers and wolves. They occupy the entire floor. Brother Fang is not here, so He Mu went directly to the seventh floor.

The offices of He Mu, Xiao Fang and the others are very spacious, and it is no problem to run in it. This is the benefit of being a boss. The three of them occupy almost half of the seventh floor. No one can look down through the window. Very superior feeling.

Li Fatty was not there, so He Mu went directly to say hello to Brother Fang. During the period, he didn't talk about movies, TV, or Tudou.

"Why do you keep asking my daughter?" Xiao Fang became cautious.

"Isn't this my wife who is about to give birth? I think she should be a girl, so I learned from you." He Mu found a random reason, and even he believed it after speaking. Indeed, he should ask Xiao Fang Learn from the experience, if Zi Lin gave birth to a son, he can learn from He Zao and the others. If it is a daughter, Xiao Fang will be a good research object.

"Speaking of raising a daughter, you must pamper her and pamper her. I was younger than you when I became a father. At that time..." Xiao Fang expressed his feelings, and began to teach He Mu endlessly. Finally, I concluded the statement, "Raising a daughter must be more careful than raising a mistress, and you can't be a little slack, otherwise you will have a very headache."

"You are raising a mistress, did Sister Hao Hui make it?"

"For example, do you understand the example?" Xiao Fang gave He Mu a white look.

The day He Mu returned to Beijing was already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Grandpa and parents gathered at his home in the capital. In the evening, his sister-in-law would bring her baby Beibei over for dinner. My eldest brother might not be able to spend this Spring Festival with his family because of work. Fortunately, the whole family had already gathered on New Year's Day, so it's not too regrettable.

The house is full of New Year's atmosphere, there are many lanterns, paper-cuts, and Spring Festival couplets. Except that no firecrackers can be set off, everything is fine. Even Zi Lin also put on a pretty Chinese New Year's suit specially designed by their company (big belly type) She also gave her parents and grandpa a set, and they looked very festive when they put them on. He Mu didn't escape her clutches and was forced to put them on.

When helping He Mu get dressed, Zi Lin thought He Mu's long hair was fun, so he tied a small braid for him, which looked very artistic.Both long hair and bald head are hairstyles frequently used by artists. If He Mu had to choose, he would rather be bald, but he still endured it for filming.

The family is all there. Although he hasn't been back for a long time, He Mu is too embarrassed to get bored with his wife in front of everyone. This topic should be discussed in depth after closing the door. Sitting on the sofa, besides chatting about life, He Mu mainly talks to his wife. Dad talked about the movie industry.

Dad successfully transformed from the meat product industry to the cultural and entertainment industry, and his business has done a lot. Although the expansion is too fast, so that there are many shareholders in the Metropolitan Cinemas. Dad can't speak for himself, but he is still the largest shareholder of the cinemas. , is the real talker, and it is also the upstream film producers such as He Mu who need to curry favor. Nowadays, the projection side is still relatively bullish, but it has improved compared to before. They have more and more voice in making movies. One day Can sit on an equal footing with those who show movies.

The craze caused by "Avatar" has not subsided, and the weekly box office of hundreds of millions is still being staged, which is staggering. Many movie theaters and theaters have accelerated the pace of building imax giant screens and 3D projection equipment, as a benefit of imax giant screens Or, the metropolis originally wanted to invest money in the imax giant screen and 3D equipment, but later only upgraded the 3D projection function, but the imax giant screen has not moved.

Dad explained that although the ticket price of the imax giant screen is high and generates a lot of box office, a certain proportion of the box office generated by the movie screenings using this equipment must be distributed to imax, so the profit of the cinema is not as high as imagined. It will be a long process to earn back the investment cost of an imax screen.Moreover, the theaters in metropolitan cities are all located in second- and third-tier cities, where the consumption level is not high. If you rashly invest in the construction of imax, its high ticket price may not be conducive to attracting audiences to watch movies, because "Avatar" is not a phenomenon-level blockbuster. Anytime, this time they will pay for imax for "Avatar", but next time, I am afraid that the audience will weigh whether such a high box office is worth it.

Just at this time, China Film Group took a fancy to the enviable huge benefits generated by the imax giant screen. They cooperated with the China Film Research Institute to imitate imax to develop their own giant screen, which can effectively reduce the ticket price without paying patent fees. I also want to find a few theater companies to cooperate with, and then I can take the lead in experimenting with them in their theaters.Out of blind worship of American technology and lack of confidence in domestic technology, major theaters refused to respond. In the end, only two theaters, Metropolitan and Ume, joined the project.

"Is this Chinese giant screen reliable?" He Mu was worried that his father would be deceived by China Film Group. If this kind of research and development project succeeds, it will be fine. The Metropolis is expected to be promoted to a higher level. If it fails, all the initial investment will be lost. The water was gone, and I couldn't even hear the sound of water.

"I have learned that imax's technology is not very sophisticated, and even if you don't have confidence in our country's scientific research capabilities, don't you still have confidence in our own copycat capabilities?" Dad He said confidently, "I dare say, two years Within a few days, the technology will definitely mature."

"Oh oh oh." He Mu nodded understandingly. The two father and son looked at the fireworks outside the window at the same time. It will be the year of the tiger soon. Will He Mu have a tiger cub or a tiger girl? Come new year, give birth soon, The movie will be released soon, everyone can't wait... (to be continued...)
