Big names rise

He Mu's mind is now full of the town where Xiaoyu set foot. The beautiful buildings, landscapes, kind old people, naughty children, and those monsters who like to scare humans are actually hurt deeply by humans. The whole town constitutes This twisted and bizarre story also explains the ancient Chinese philosophy to a certain extent.

Although the first film version of "Zi Bu Yu" has confirmed the stories of "Cocoon", "Shadow", and "Carpenter", they are relatively loose and lack the backbone of the story that can support the whole film. A never-before-seen fantasy world is also interesting, but a simple "I see and I understand" is not enough, that is too prose, not that such a movie is not good, it's just that a movie with a plot flaw It's not really good, He Mu doesn't want everyone to like it, but he still hopes to attract audiences of all ages as much as possible.

In the next few days, the three-person team of He Mu, Li Wenhua, and Bei Sihan will focus on the first script. Li Wenhua, who has successfully passed the postgraduate re-examination of the Beijing Film Director Department, just took this opportunity to study the movie carefully.

At the same time, the pre-promotion of this movie has already started. This time He Mu played a curve to save the country. He did not focus on the promotion of the movie itself, but focused on promoting the comic "Zibuyu", combining comics and The fame of the cartoonist Xia Da has been brought up, so that even those who are not interested in girl comics can come to know about it. After all, the sales volume of the book "Zibuyu" and the high popularity of this work in Japan are very proud, and the author She is also a beauty with an ageless face.All these tasks will be done by Tiandi Media, including the rich list of comic writers that is expected to be released this year.There must be a place for Xia Da, and the ranking will not be too low. We must make "Zibuyu" have a higher reputation as soon as possible.

The end of "Cold Heart" left He Mu with nothing to do for the time being. He Mu gained a lot from making this film, not only that he might gain a foothold in Hollywood with this film in the future, but the most important thing is that he came into contact with and learned about advanced Hollywood. The shooting methods and film industry system are not suitable for complete transplantation to the domestic film industry, but it did give him a lot of inspiration.There are many things we can learn from, and the purpose of learning is to make us better. Learn from barbarians to control barbarians. It is not shameful to learn, but it is shameful not to be bullied by others. He Mu hopes that Chinese films can get rid of being bullied by Hollywood blockbusters situation.

But He Mu will not forget that now he is also a member of Hollywood movies, and he also owns a lot of shares in the Hollywood movie company Rubik's Cube Pictures.

As the leader of Rubik's Cube Pictures, Jeff Stark invested enthusiastically in the filming of "Cold Heart".Next came the intense post-production process, and there was still a long wait for the release, during which he was not idle. "Hey. Does Mu know that we still have 200 million yuan left in the production cost!" Jeff proudly showed off to He Mu that he "saved" money.

"And then?" He Mu asked.

"I want to invest in another low-budget horror movie by James Wen, and it only costs more than 100 million." Jeff said in a discussing tone. [

He Mu also knew about this project. It was originally called "Alien Spirit", but it was renamed several times, and finally it was named "Latent" (Note 1).If there is no "Cold Heart", Wen Ziren may make this horror film first, which is also written by his old partner Ray Vonnell. It needs big-name actors, as long as he is given a few people who can act.Just like the $120 million filming of "Chain Saw".

Jeff continued, "You know it too. There are still more than half a year before the release of "Cold Heart". After finishing the post-production, James still has a lot of time to do other things, and in the end "Cold Heart" was not released by ourselves. There is no need to reserve an announcement fee.”

He Mu understands that what Jeff means is that he hopes that "Cold Heart" can be promoted and distributed by a stronger company, even if they make less money, they will increase the box office, but Rubik's Cube Pictures is definitely not willing to be a film producer, They also hope to enjoy the profits brought by distribution, and the low-budget horror film "Latent" is Rubik's Cube's hands-on work. They invest and distribute themselves. Difficult to do in the future.

"Jeff, you don't need to discuss it with me. This company is still up to you. I still don't understand a lot about Hollywood. If you make a bold decision, I'll just watch and listen." He Mu expressed Very humble, after all, Hollywood is not his territory, and domestic is more suitable for him.

After staying in Hollywood for a few more days, He Mu went back before the Oscars. Jeff wanted to take him to the Kodak Theater to see the scene. Jeon Joseph and Scarlett were both serious invited guests. He Mu Mu Xiangxiang can only be an ordinary audience. After all, he has not had any more influential works in the United States. He can't be introduced as a Chinese giant who is very good at arm wrestling.

He Mu returned to China before the Oscars. When he came back, he heard that "Avatar" was defeated by Cameron's ex-wife's "Demolition Army" in this battlefield. Awards including best director and best film fell into the hands of "Demolition Army". He Mu, who has a bad taste, regrets not going to the scene to watch Kashen's expression.

After returning to China, He Mu did not start to shoot "First Love Diary" immediately. All the stories and pictures are in his mind. There is no need to worry about this. It will not be too late to shoot when the weather is warmer. According to Xiao Fang, "12 Degrees of Youth" is only available now. After the two films are finished, He Mu promises not to finish the filming at the end. According to the playing sequence of this youth-themed series of micro-movies, "First Love Diary" will be released as the finale. As long as the post-production is completed before August, it is not too late, of course. He Mu will not really delay it until that late, after all, he will be directing "Zi Bu Yu" in the summer, and thinking about this fantasy story, he is so excited that he can't sleep.

At the beginning of returning to China, in addition to being with his wife, He Mu also focused on the market performance of the first movie "My Beautiful Boss" released by Shuimu Forest this year. This year's Shuimu Forest is off to a good start.

"My Beautiful Boss" was released on Friday the 12th. At this time, "Avatar" has already been released for the tenth week. It has won nine weekly championships before, and there is no strong new film in the tenth week. I am afraid that the tenth champion will also be captured. That’s right, the domestic box office of this film has accumulated nearly 13 billion, which is a mess. The other two old films "Sherlock Holmes" and "Little Soldiers" also performed well. Among them, "Little Soldiers" has a box office of more than 14 billion. The mainland is second only to the good performance of "The King of Kung Fu".

There are five new films released this week, including "Beauty Boss", the most blockbuster is the Hollywood blockbuster "Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief", which is also the most careful opponent of "Beauty Boss", released by China Film, the result This high-budget special effects blockbuster did not become a big hit. It only had a pitiful 560 million in the first week, which was higher than Kim Sung-wu's new Japanese film "24 Faces of a Monster", and lower than the French-approved film "Don't Look Back". "Beautiful Boss" is even worse.

With the cast and investment scale of "Beauty Boss", it is quite impressive to get 1050 million in the first week, which can almost recover the production cost. This achievement is the best among all new films, and it also ranks fourth on the weekly list , next to "Avatar", "Sherlock Holmes" and "Little Soldiers" who won ten consecutive titles.

The new films are generally weak and cannot shake the status of strong blockbusters. The first three days of "Beauty Boss" has achieved over [-] million results, which is enough to make the stars laugh. They are ready to lose money for the sweetness of the well, but look at it like this It can also make a small profit, and Shuimu Forest’s publicity and distribution ability is really evident. Of course, this is also inseparable from the strong support of Wanda Cinemas. The golden screen of Sherlock Holmes supplements "Beautiful Boss". Of course, the interests of "Avatar" are not touched, and they are reluctant to move. That film is too profitable, and the number of screenings is equivalent to "Sherlock Holmes". One, but the box office is far better than the latter.

Compared with the decent box office, "My Beautiful Boss" has a poor reputation. In fact, the quality of the film is really average. It is optimistic that the final box office can exceed 2000 million, but it will never reach 3000 million. This film will create A new low in Shuimu Forest's release record.

Even the new low is still profitable for Shuimu Forest. Earning several million is not a problem. Boss He has already waited to count the money. Although the company's distribution staff felt that it did not meet expectations and had a responsibility, He Mu comforted them. With this performance, you have already turned decay into magic."

He Mu can think about it very much, but some people can't think about it for him. The famous film critic toxnxu Shi Fan slammed "My Beautiful Boss" on Net`Ease Entertainment's film review page. In a word, the key point is that this guy not only criticizes the movie, but also boldly predicts that Shuimu Forest is going downhill. Take a look at this year, the first film released is so rubbish, I can't stand it at all, the promotion is so lively, the box office is only 1000 million, and it is a joke to create a myth that surpassed last year's box office. Including "Du Lala's Promotion" in April, I am optimistic that the combined box office of the two films will not exceed [-] million."[

toxnxu Shi Fan is a relatively well-known but unqualified film critic. He became famous in the first battle because he beat "The Raptor" directed by Li Rengang, and he called himself the leader of the Raptors.Of course, Master Shi Fan is still a very principled film critic. His principle is that any director he likes has good works, such as Li Rengang and Wang Jing; if he doesn't like it, he judges the quality of the film based on how much the other party pays. .
