Big names rise

Under the global box office results of "Zi Bu Yu" shocked the audience, no one said anything against it, and He Mu successfully became the executive director and vice chairman of the Film Producers Association. Since then, his status as a giant has been established.

Han Sanping asked He Mu to talk a few words, and focus on passing on his successful experience. The overseas box office of "Zi Bu Yu" was too successful, with more than 8000 million US dollars. If it catches up with the bad years, even Huayi, a company, may not be able to do so in a year. There are so many.

"It's really hard to say. We have been making progress through exploration. Before "Zi Bu Yu", we, Mizuki, also encountered setbacks on the way to enter other Asian markets. If you can’t sell it, it is basically difficult to make a profit, or even make a profit at a loss, but you have accumulated a lot of contacts through various failures.”

"The success of "Zi Bu Yu" has some flukes to a certain extent, but it is also inevitable. When choosing the shooting subject, we were already thinking about the box office in Japan, because Chinese films have created a lot of brilliance in Japan. Many cultures are inherited from us, and there is a certain cultural affinity, and the original manga of "Zibuyu" is a best-selling manga with a certain influence in Japan, and the content of "Zibuyu" is Japanese Mysterious and mysterious ghost themes that people like very much, the film's expression style is fresh and brilliant, with the legacy of Hayao Miyazaki, it is easier for children to capture the defenses of foreign countries, let them let go of their guards, and devote themselves to the story, and our little heroine is still unique. The youngest winner of the East Film Festival, combined with all the above factors, was able to achieve a big hit at the box office in Japan. This is basically the case in other markets. "Zi Bu Yu" is an alternative interpretation of Chinese mysterious culture, with Chinese characteristics Mysterious and attractive, but it will not be too Chinese, which will cause a sense of isolation in viewing. Children play a very good role in adjusting here, as if people in any country like "Home Alone", but If it was replaced by a big ghost, I am afraid I would accept incompetence..."

He Mu talked a lot.And without reservation, if there is only one Mizuki in China, only one "Zibuyu" can successfully go abroad.This is the tragedy of Chinese-language films. As a member of Chinese-language filmmakers, he hopes that Chinese-language films can bring Chinese culture to the world. This is not something that Mizuki can do.Including fighting against the invasion of Hollywood blockbusters in the mainland market.Small film companies make low-budget films with the first priority of making money.Only the blockbuster films produced by big companies such as China Film and Huayi dare to challenge Hollywood blockbusters, and only Mizuki, Huayi, and Bona have enough strength to produce sufficiently good films to resist the invasion of foreign cultures and ensure Chinese culture. Independence and distinctive features, this important task cannot be shouldered by Mizuki, not even China Film Group.

In addition to the recognition of film companies and producers last year, He Mu won several small awards, and one more thing was mentioned at this meeting.It is the first Beijing International Film Festival that will open soon. This is another category A international film festival that China has applied for besides the Shanghai Film Festival.Han Sanping hopes that everyone can actively participate with their works. The main competition unit is definitely out of the question, but the exhibition unit is absolutely fine. At the same time, this is also a good platform for overseas film companies to sell domestic works. Can you seize this opportunity and let yourself The film goes abroad and goes to the world, it all depends on one's own ability.

This Beijing Film Festival is held before the big film festival, and the two film festivals are planned to be connected. He Mu has heard about it before, but he feels that it is a waste of resources for Beijing to spend huge sums of money on such a movie feast, because there is no other country. With two A-category international film festivals, it is enough for China to have a Golden Goblet Award from the Shanghai Film Festival as a representative, and the influence of the Shanghai Film Festival has not yet increased, so another similar Beijing Film Festival will divert the influence Power doesn't make much sense at all.

In his view, it would be better to create a Chinese Academy Award (Oscar) and create a super award with greater authority for all Chinese-language films. In recent years, the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Image Award have been questioned one after another, and their influence has already been established. Nicholas Tse just won the Best Actor in the Golden Statue a few days ago and was also criticized by others, as well as the Golden Horse Best Actor Ruan Jingtian earlier, the Golden Horse Best Actor of SHP, and the inland Golden Rooster, Huabiao, and Hundred Flowers. Nowadays, the Chinese cultural center in the mainland, the Golden Rooster Award, the highest award in the mainland film industry, has become a self-indulgent joke. Not to mention world influence, even colleagues in Hong Kong and Taiwan don’t care much. In the Greater Chinese speaking area, It is an indisputable fact that a golden rooster actor and actress is definitely not as respectable as an actor and actress with a golden horse and a golden statue.

He Mu thinks that either reorganize the Golden Rooster Awards to revive the Golden Rooster Awards, or directly create a brand new, aggressive new film award, get rid of the influence and constraints of the government and related departments on the awards, and establish the mainland Chinese film center However, now that He Mu has just become the vice chairman, it is not appropriate to make such a big noise, and his thoughts are not so mature, so he has to bury it in his heart.

After the meeting ended, Han Sanping stopped He Mu again, saying that he had some private matters to discuss, and then the two of them entered a room, and other people stared at them. In fact, it was not really a personal matter, but a matter of work. Han Sanping had talked with him before The "Wolf Totem" that He Mu talked about is a big project with an investment of several hundred million yuan by China Film Group. The director invited the internationally renowned director Jean-Jacques Arnault, who is now raising wolves in the outskirts of the capital. As a young Chinese actor who is suitable for the international market but is suitable for the leading role and has international influence, Han Sanping only has one He Mu, who has made some fame in Hollywood with "Cold Heart", although he is not as good as the international actor. Zhang, but He Mu is undoubtedly the most internationally renowned and influential male star of the new generation. Apart from him for the role of Chen Zhen in "Wolf Totem", Han Sanping can't think of another suitable person.

Han Sanping's tone was even pleading. "Wolf Totem", a transnational giant, has spent an enormous amount of investment beyond imagination. Whether it is awards or box office, no mistakes are allowed. They put their treasure on International Avenue Jean-Jacques For Arnold, the box office depends on a Chinese superstar with unlimited potential like He Mu. There are still a few years before the film is completed and screened. With He Mu's momentum, it will only make the overseas box office more secure.

Han Sanping also knows that with He Mu's current status, spending so much time and energy filming a movie that focuses on animals is not that attractive. Still talking about wolves.

So during the conversation, Han Sanping also mentioned, ""Wolf Totem" mainly tells the story of wolves, Mongolians and grasslands. My favorite "Dust Settled" is also one of the candidate works, I think you are completely qualified to be the hero in it, and even China Film can cooperate with Mizuki."

He Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this. To be honest, he also likes the novel "Wolf Totem". If it weren't for the shooting cycle, it might take as long as a year. He must be rushing to cooperate with director Arnold. Chances are, but to say that his favorite literary work is undoubtedly "Dust Settled" by the Tibetan writer Alai. He has read this novel no less than five times since he was in junior high school. Whether it is characterization, story or thought, He Mu thought it was the best among dozens of Mao Dun literature award works, especially the wise and foolish second young master in the book, the character He Mu wanted to challenge the most. Han Sanping's words came to his heart.

Many years ago, this excellent literary work was adapted into a TV series, starring Yan Bingbing and Li Jie. At that time, Ye Ye had just left the image of a maid in Jinsuo, and he had not yet had the confidence to call himself a wealthy family. In addition, the attention of literary works has always been limited. In the end, the play did not cause any waves, and not many people watched it. It is far less influential than the original work. This is the first film and television adaptation of "Dust Settled", which ended in failure. If there is an opportunity to adapt this epic masterpiece into a movie, the vast plateau, as well as the chieftain family, slaves, and rebels on the plateau instantly flashed in He Mu's mind...

After all, He Mu got on Han Sanping's thief ship, and he was sure to participate in "Wolf Totem", but this year's filming is definitely not possible, not to mention that the preparation work has not been done yet, He Mu's schedule this year is also full.There is "Dust Settled" to be confirmed, and He Mu will contact Mr. Alai and some well-known playwrights later. This kind of big theme is not something that young people from Mizuki can handle, nor are He Mu, Li Fat and Xiaobei and the others. Three can play around.

In addition to these two film adaptations of Mongolian and Tibetan literary works, He Mu also recommended to Han Sanping Huo Da's "Muslim's Funeral", which tells the story of the Hui people and jade, and is also the winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award. Agreed It is a shocking humanistic epic. It has also been adapted for film and television before, but it is not too much of a sensation. The hero in it is not suitable for He Mu's age. The reason why he recommends this novel is that he thinks poetry is particularly suitable The Hui girl Han Xinyue in it, Shishi is also time to prove herself with a big-budget literary film.

The three contemporary masterpieces "Wolf Totem", "Dust Settled" and "Muslim's Funeral" are extremely important and far-reaching. It is very likely that He Mu will participate in their film adaptations, and "Dust Settled" will even have With Mizuki's investment, the filming of "White Deer Plain", which is also quite important, is almost finished in Wang Quan'an's hands. Maybe future film tycoons will focus on those works that won the Mao Dun Literature Award. I hope that the combination of business and art will not give birth to A freak, I hope that the film and television audience will become interested in those literary works after watching the film, and read them to improve their literary accomplishment.

Movies and literature can influence each other and promote each other, which is what writers and artists like He Mu and Li Wenhua are happy to see... (to be continued...)
