Chapter 547: The Success of the Propaganda Strategy

Movies based on real events are not uncommon.

This type of film is more marketable than the average movie. It's just that this kind of movie is also relatively more difficult to make.

The film originates from reality, but it is inevitable that some artistic processing will be carried out, and it is impossible to completely restore it.

can process too much, but fans feel that it is unreal.

And there is too little processing, and there are a few less dramatic conflicts, as well as the tension of the plot.

Robbery or hostage-taking.

It's not that it's more serious than this time, it's just that it doesn't get as much attention as this time.

With such attention, he undoubtedly became a hostage with Li Ruoxi, but Mu Chen rushed in to save people regardless of the danger, and let him save people.

The star already has a very high degree of attention, not to mention that Mu Chen also staged a good show of heroes saving beauty.

Heroes save the beauty is definitely the most used bridge in film and television works, and even because of its frequent use, it has almost become a bloody plot.

The adaptation does not require much artistic processing, which is enough to attract fans' curiosity about this film.

The box office of this film is undoubtedly very guaranteed.

As for the negative news about "making money" or something, the impact is not great.

Not to mention that it was expected for a long time, and it was prepared.

Even if those people are allowed to splash dirty water, there will still be many fans who will go to watch the film when it is released.

Not many will be affected.

The hot spot of global attention is naturally chased by countless media reporters.

Many details were also dug up by the media.

The only regret for the media is that Mu Chen did not give any interviews after responding outside the Las Vegas hotel.

What he rushed into the hotel and what he went through, the media could only dig up some bits and pieces of information from the side.

What exactly happened, I'm afraid only Mu Chen knows.

However, even if only some sporadic information is excavated, it can be seen that after Mu Chen entered the hotel, it can be described as frightening step by step.

As soon as the news that Dream Pictures was going to adapt this matter into a movie, it caused great topics and controversy.

Some people feel that this is inappropriate, but many more people are looking forward to it.

Harvey's movements are fast, and the screenwriters, directors, etc. are quickly decided.

Because it is an adaptation of real events, the main characters of the story have been referenced, and the ready-made materials are undoubtedly saved a lot of time compared to those original scripts.

The screenwriter Harvey is looking for is a screenwriter who is good at this kind of genre, and the director is naturally too.

They not only found Mu Chen, asked for some details, but also went to ask other hostages, and even learned some information from the police.

The police still made some progress to this.

One is that Mu Chen's cooperation this time has relieved them of a lot of public opinion pressure. reciprocated the favor, and naturally cooperated.

In addition, I undoubtedly hope that the screenwriter will not portray the police too wastefully when adapting.

It's better to create a positive cop to act as a male partner or something.

Because of this film, Mu Chen stayed in Los Angeles for several more days.

By the time he returned to China, it was already approaching May Day.

The robbery of jewelry exhibitions and hostage-taking has also become much less popular.

In any matter, his popularity cannot be maintained forever.

The persistence of this is quite amazing.

"Are you really going to make a movie about this?" Marin asked.

As soon as Mu Chen returned to China, Ma Lin and others came to the door one after another.

Although Li Ruoxi came back, they also came to the door to understand the situation.

However, when Mu Chen came back, he couldn't help but come over to take a look.

Maybe it's because of Mu Chen's experience, which he has only seen in movies before. Who would have thought that it would also be encountered in reality. And I have a close relationship with them.

Curiosity is inevitable.

Li Ruoxi hadn't fully satisfied their curiosity before.

After all, Mu Chen is the most critical party.

"It's not me!" Mu Chen said, "It's Dream Pictures that wants to be adapted." ”

"Isn't it the same?" Marin said, pouting.

"I don't direct, and I don't even write a screenplay. Mu Chen said, "Naturally, it's different." ”

"It's really not interesting to make up your own stories and direct your own experiences. Zhao Jin said.

"I'm interested in this film, and I think it must be good at the box office. Wang Hao said.

He knew that the value of this adaptation was actually in Mu Chen's rescue of the hostages, and there were no casualties.

If the hostages are damaged, or Mu Chen fails to rescue the hostages, then the value of the adaptation will be greatly reduced, and even whether there is a value of adaptation is debatable.

Success is always more popular than failure.

"It's really fitting for your brother to star in this film. Marin said.

Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan are undoubtedly the best candidates for this film.

Even, in Ma Lin's opinion, the two of them are more suitable than Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi to play by themselves.

This news has been spread soon after the news of the film adaptation came out, and it has also caused heated discussions around the world.

Brother plays younger brother, sister-in-law plays younger sister?

It's an absolute gimmick.

Specifically, although there was no response from Dream Pictures, Ma Lin obviously got the news from Li Ruoxi.

"There seems to be some conflict in the schedule, and it needs to be adjusted. Mu Chen said.

Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan have continuous drama appointments, and the schedule is very full.

Even then, they couldn't pull away and come back.

When Mu Chen returned to China, many domestic media called and wanted to give him an exclusive interview.

As for the content of the interview, there is no need to ask at all, Mu Chen can guess.

When he was abroad, he had already received many similar invitations, both at home and many abroad.

However, they were all rejected by Mu Chen.

This matter has been talked about a lot, and it is undoubtedly consuming the market potential of this matter.

After a brief chat, comforting the curiosity of Ma Lin and others, Mu Chen stayed at home for a few days before returning to the company and began to continue to prepare for "Covering the Sky"!

The script of this film is basically formed.

The story begins with the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin and landing on Mount Tai, and ends with the protagonist and others entering the sect and showing the tip of the iceberg of the world of "covering the sky".

Among them, there are naturally some thrilling adventures.

Such as the ancient star meets the crocodile ancestor.

The suspense of the story is indispensable, and a lot of holes have been dug.

However, it does not affect the integrity of the story.

Of course, commercial blockbusters, if there are no big scenes, it can't be justified.

This is an "original" story.

And it's also the beginning of a "world", so even if the script is completed, the preparation will be much slower.

For example, costumes and props need to be original.

Mu Chen was busy, and he forgot to sleep and eat.

In this film, Mu Chen's expectations are much stronger than those of "Sword Immortal" and "Martial God".

Whether it is "Sword Fairy" or "Martial God", when these two films were filmed, there was already a huge fan base. And this film apparently doesn't.

For Mu Chen, it is undoubtedly a challenge.

Moreover, Mu Chen is indeed not sure about the degree to which foreign fans accept this oriental fantasy world.

"The performance of Chinese films in foreign markets is getting better and better. This film, foreign fans, should not be as difficult to accept as imagined. Chen Fuhai said, "Isn't the box office of "Nezha's Demon Boy Descending" very impressive abroad?"

The domestic box office of "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends" exceeded 4 billion, and North America won nearly 200 million US dollars, while the cumulative box office in Southeast Asia, Europe and other regions exceeded that of North America, and the global cumulative box office exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

The domestic box office was within expectations, but the foreign box office far exceeded expectations.

It can be seen from this that foreign fans are becoming more and more receptive to Chinese films.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded.

He wasn't sure, it was relative to his previous films.

Aren't films such as "Chasing the Deer" and "Fuxi" also very impressive at the foreign box office?

"Is the box office of "The Great Wall" out?" asked Mu Chen.

"It's out!" Chen Fuhai said, "it's better than expected." ”

Chen Fuhai said and gave a report to Mu Chen.

The domestic box office broke 300 million on the first day, winning the single-day box office champion on May Day.

Moreover, the reputation of this film is also extremely good.

The film was not released simultaneously worldwide.

North America and other places will have to wait for another week.

This is also a deliberate attempt to avoid Hollywood blockbusters.

Avoid it or not, Mu Chen and Dawn Film and Television don't mind. However, this film is co-produced with Huaying Film and Television, so it is naturally a little more cautious.

Huaying Film and Television still wants to rely on this film to make a comeback, so naturally they don't want to fight with those Hollywood blockbusters.

"Now it seems that there are some cheap flowers, movies and television. Mu Chen shook his head and said.

Judging from today's box office and word-of-mouth reaction, even if this film is unsatisfactory at the box office abroad, I am afraid it will not lose money.

"We have an advantage in profit distribution. Chen Fuhai said with a smile.

The reason why I took this film to cooperate with Huaying Film and Television is because I am not so optimistic about this film?

Share the risk.

If someone else takes such a big risk, if there is no return, who will cooperate with you?

Mu Chen shook his head and smiled.

That's what he said.

He has never regarded domestic film companies as rivals.

Dawn Film and Television has such confidence.

Even if Huaying Film and Television turns over with this film, compared with Dawn Film and Television, there is also an insurmountable gap.

Mu Chen, or the opponent of Dawn Film and Television, is only in Hollywood.

And, it's still very limited.

A week later, "The Great Wall", an oriental fantasy war film, was released abroad.

At this time, the domestic box office of this film was nearly 2 billion, which was overwhelming for the release at the same time.

This film integrates elements such as suspense and wit, but it is loved by many fans.

In particular, the two coaches fought wits and were praised as classics by countless fans.

This was undoubtedly unexpected by Mu Chen.

Although many fans said that they didn't understand it, it was too brain-burning, but it still couldn't stop fans from being curious about this film.

The internet is filled with countless discussions about the film.

The more I discussed, the more I felt that this film was amazing in terms of "resourcefulness".

Domestic fans are a little struggling to watch, and foreign fans are probably even more struggling.

Therefore, Mu Chen and others are not very optimistic about the foreign box office of this film.

But who would have thought that foreign fans seem to be very good. The word-of-mouth of the film is amazing, and the box office also exceeded expectations.

Perhaps, they like the feeling of "not being aware of the calendar".

Perhaps, it is just the success of the publicity strategy.

Mu Chen leans towards the latter.

Anyway, this film is actually popular abroad.
