Big names rise

Chapter 612 The director prepares to start

In the domestic film market, "Transformers 3", which was released in the third week, can still be the mainstream of cinemas. However, starting from Tuesday, "Zhang Zhen Tells Ghost Stories" began to preempt the mainland film schedule. It even surpassed "Change 3" in one day, but because of the ticket price and type restrictions, the output in a single day is still unable to compete with "Change 3".

On Thursday, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Part 6" landed in the mainland, and the phrase "This is the finale of Harry Potter" is more effective than any promotional slogan. In ten years, the first seven "Harry Potter" It created a box office of up to [-] million yuan, and also cultivated a large number of loyal audiences. Maybe they would choose to watch pirated versions on computers before, but this time, this last time, many people chose to go to the cinema to support this movie. The favorite Harry trio spends once.

"Harry Potter Finale" has 2D version, 3D version, imax and other versions, which have a certain impact on "Transformers 3" and "Zhang Zhen Tells Ghost Stories".

In the new week, last week’s box office rankings were released, which refreshed the predictions and insights of many experts. They were not surprised that the total domestic box office of “Transformers 3” exceeded 9 million, nor were they amazed at the first week of “Harry Potter: The Next 7” The box office has almost caught up with all of "Harry Potter Part 7", but it is incredible for the box office achievements of "Chang Chen Tells Ghost Stories".

This week, there is no doubt that the new film "Harry Potter 7" reached the top with a box office of 1.72 million, and "Transformers 3" fell to the second place, with a box office of 1.41 million and a total box office of over 9 million. .It is expected to become the second billion-level blockbuster after "Avatar" in the mainland.

However, "Ghost Stories" can't compare with these two Hollywood blockbusters. The box office in the first six days was 1.02 million, ranking third on the weekly list.

The most brilliant time of He Mu's movie is "Zi Silu".The mainland received 1.24 million in two days in the first week. The box office performance of "Ghost Stories" is far lower than that of "Zi Bu Yu", and even the Hollywood movie "Cold Heart", but one reality cannot be ignored, "Ghost Stories" It's a horror movie, a thriller movie with only two main actors.The previous best result of this type of domestic film was "Far Cry" starring Yang Mi and released by Mizuki, with a total box office of 9100 million.It once broke the record of Tao Quduo, which shocked the whole country at that time, and triggered a deep discussion in the industry on fan movies.

And right now, "Far Cry" is still hot on the record for horror films.Tao Quduo took "Ghost Stories" for revenge.It only took one week to crush "The Island", showing a strong box office prospect. At the same time, this is the first time a Chinese-language horror film has set foot in the box office of [-] million yuan, and even broadened the audience for this niche genre. More people have regained their confidence in domestic thriller movies.

In fact, in the era when Hong Kong movies were popular, Chinese people liked ghost movies and horror movies very much, but at that time they could only watch pirated DVDs, and then Hong Kong movies declined.This type of film is strictly prohibited in the mainland, so it is basically impossible to see this type of film in movie theaters.Fortunately, there are fewer and fewer audiences, which in turn restricts the development of horror films. Perhaps the appearance of "Ghost Stories" will change this situation.

Some people say that the success of "Zhang Zhen Tells Ghost Stories" is mainly due to He Mu. As a talented director who has created countless miracles, as an actor, his box office appeal has long been able to ignore the type and quality of the film. The garbage movies he acted in can easily exceed [-] million at the box office, not to mention the quality and novelty of "Zhang Zhen Tells Ghost Stories", which is far superior to conventional thriller movies. The reason for success.

Although the box office is not as good as the above two Hollywood blockbusters, the success of "Ghost Stories" is beyond doubt. The share from "School Girl" is enough for him to buy a spacious house in the capital so that he can marry his Lin Qingyi.

At this time, He Mu took advantage of the opportunity to announce that Tao Quduo would serve as the pre-planning director of "Tomb Raiders Notes", which means that he would be in charge of all planning matters before the filming started, and script adaptation was the most important thing. After all, "Tomb Raiders Notes" "will also mix horror elements, which is Lao Tao's strong point.

This is another important message since Mizuki announced that he will invest 10 billion to create the "Tomb Raiders Notes" series. It seems that the film series has entered the preparatory stage, and the start of shooting has entered the schedule. I can’t wait to see this movie, and audiences who like blockbusters also have high expectations for this movie. After all, Mizuki has a lot of money. Maybe it’s possible to make a Chinese "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series. Set a benchmark for Chinese-language adventure and treasure-hunting fantasy blockbusters. Apart from China Film, only Huayi and Mizuki have second strength and courage. In addition, the powerful Bona seems to be more keen on finding business opportunities from declining Hong Kong films.

After completing the promotional work of "Ghost Stories", the preparatory work for the crew of "Zi Bu Yu" has also been completed in sevens and eighties. Soon He Mu will be stationed in Hengxi Town to perform his duties as a director.

As a director who has a certain pursuit of art, and as a weirdo who doesn't like to do the same thing repeatedly, He Mu doesn't want to spend his directorial time on shooting a series of movies. The more appropriate way is for him to make awesome films The first part, the subsequent sequels can be handed over to other directors to complete, but Mizuki’s development is not so perfect now, without him as the director, it is almost impossible for "Zi Bu Yu" to exert the energy of the first part, and he It is also true that the whole story of "Zibuyu" is still unfinished. More special effects and big scenes will be added in the next two parts. This is what he needs to learn and master. Maybe he can do it more smoothly after the "Zibuyu" series Take control of the blockbuster shoot.

During the week before leaving the capital, He Mu mainly did two things. One was to go to an animal training base in the suburbs of Beijing and meet the director of "Wolf Totem" Jean-Jacques Arnold and the little wolves he raised , They are already the second generation raised by the protagonist, and the wildness will be gone. In the future, He Mu will cooperate with the offspring of these little wolves. Here, He Mu not only chatted with Director Arnold about his thoughts on this movie and other From the perspective of the film, I gained a good friendship, and lived in the "wolf den" for two days, so that the little wolves got acquainted with his taste. Maybe bring home potatoes and Bayi will like it.

The second thing He Mu has to do is to stay at home with his family, mainly He Ba and his little friend. I'm afraid I won't see her for a long time, and He Mu will miss her very much.

Little Bayi is very clingy to He Mu. For example, as soon as He Mu appeared, the little guy who was rampaging on the ground hugged He Mu's thigh, and then never let go. When He Mu left, she followed He Mu's thigh. , she took it as a very funny thing.

Little Bayi, who is more than one year old, is already very strong in his arms, and he can call "baba" more clearly. While hugging He Mu's thigh, he talked to his father about his thoughts, but He Mu couldn't understand most of them. But he still listened attentively. I'm afraid he won't be able to hear such cute children's words in a short time.

On the side, Tudou was running over to yoyo with a bag of dog food endorsed by him, recommending it to yoyo. After becoming famous, Mr. Tudou has endorsed several brands. This dog food has the highest endorsement fee, which is enough to make him a rich man among dogs.

But yoyo didn't pay attention to him, but walked around the owner Zhang Zilin. Zilin was busy making dinner at this time. In order to let her daughter play with her papa for a while, she took the initiative to take on the important task of dinner.

He Mu cherishes the harmonious and happy family. A few days ago Ting Feng and Cecilia Cheung's divorce was full of turmoil. He Mu hoped that he, Zi Lin and Xiao Bayi could always be well.

He Mu, who was sitting on the sofa, stretched out his hands to He Bayi, who was still hugging his thigh, "Baby, let Dad give you a hug."

Then Bayi also stretched out her immature little hand, babbling on her mouth, so cute... (to be continued...)
