The cast of "Covering the Sky" is not strong, and Li Yunyi is the only star who is full of first-line stars.

However, Mu Chen's films do not need to rely on the cast to attract attention and increase box office appeal.

He alone is enough.

Therefore, at the start-up press conference, reporters at home and abroad almost all revolved around Mu Chen, occasionally asking Li Yunyi, and there were only a few painless questions. As for Zhou Liang and others, they were basically ignored.

Even if Mu Chen intentionally or unintentionally led to them, it would not help.

This fantasy movie is not very optimistic in the domestic film circle.

After all, in their opinion, the potential of the film market is like that, and Mu Chen's investment in this film is so big.

They are not optimistic, but they also don't think that Mu Chen will be planted.

In the past, Mu Chen had made too many types of films that were not favored by them, but they were all popular.

For so many years, Mu Chen has been good at creating miracles, and he has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Many people still hope that Mu Chen's film can be successful.

If fantasy movies are popular all over the world, they will undoubtedly have great benefits for Chinese films.

The success of Feng Yi's "Zhuolu" and "Fuxi" has expanded the market for Chinese mythological films. This kind of film made by other film and television companies, although it is not as good as these two films, is much better than expected.

In fact, mythological movies and fantasy movies, as well as magic movies, do not have such a clear concept at all.

Perhaps for many foreign fans, it is the same.

After the launch conference, "Covering the Sky" entered the filming stage.

During the break, Li Yunyi asked this question curiously.

"Covering the Sky" was launched, using fantasy movies as a gimmick, which naturally aroused heated discussions among many netizens.

On the Internet, there was a discussion about this.

What is the difference between mythological movies, fantasy movies, magic movies, and fairy movies?

"A mythological movie is a movie based on a mythological story. Mu Chen smiled and said, "What is a myth, a fictional story created orally by the people collectively, expressing the worship of natural forces, the struggle and the pursuit of ideals. For example, "Pangu Open Heaven" is a pioneering myth, and "Jingwei Reclamation" is a natural myth, but the most common one we are is a hero myth. For example: "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" and so on. ”

"As for fantasy films, you can think of this as a movie story that is detached from reality. The word fantasy should first come from, and it is complicated and confusing to be difficult to define. Mu Chen continued, "The most important point of fantasy is that its plot must be created on the basis of a complete world view, unlike magic, which is based on Western element magic, fantasy is mostly based on Eastern elements. Fantasy, magic, fantasy, science fiction, fairy tales, and even martial arts all belong to the fantasy category. "Covering the Sky" can be said to be a fantasy film, or it can be said to be a fairy tale film. There's no need to be serious about this. ”

Li Yunyi smiled, he didn't understand much, and he didn't bother to figure it out.

What genre is this film and what impact does it have?

For example, Ma Lin's "Terracotta Warriors" is said to be a magic film instead of a fantasy film, and why are Feng Yi's "Zhuolu" and "Fuxi" classified as mythological films?

Li Yunyi is not the kind of person who breaks the casserole and asks to the end.

No matter what genre the movie is, it's all about making it well.

"Covering the Sky" began filming, and "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which is scheduled for May Day, will be released soon, and the publicity has entered a white-hot stage.

This film produced by Dawn Film and Television is naturally not weak.

Although, the investment in this film is not high.

Director Lu Hai is a director who is not yet famous, so he naturally has no box office appeal.

The cast is quite reluctant.

At the beginning, Chen Fuhai suggested that Huang Yao and Zhao Jin audition.

However, in the end, because Zhao Jin took over Marin's art film, he also had to shoot "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", so this film fell to Huang Yao.

Although Huang Yao is not as handsome as Zhao Jin, his popularity abroad is not as good as Zhao Jin. But in China, whether it is popularity or popularity, it is not weaker than Zhao Jin at all, and he is a proper first-line popular star.

The movies he starred in are still quite appealing at the box office.

Of course, the most box office appeal of the film "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is "Mu Chen's screenwriter".

On Friday, April 30, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was the first to be released in China.

This film will definitely be released abroad, but whether it is Mu Chen, Chen Fuhai and other senior executives of Dawn Film and Television, they are not optimistic about the box office abroad.

This film itself is not aimed at foreign box office.

If the domestic box office reacts strongly, the foreign box office may increase somewhat.

Even so, the foreign box office of this film is estimated to be just like that. Not to mention dispensable, but it is also difficult to compare with domestic ones.

Many people are curious about why Mu Chen, who is now gone in blockbusters, wrote such a small-cost script.

Even if Huang Yao, a first-line celebrity, joins, the cost of this film is only a small cost.

Of course, this is relative to other films of Dawn Film and Television.

Today's Dawn Film and Television is a big production at every turn, and there are several films that cost more than one billion Chinese dollars every year.

Like "I Am Not the God of Medicine", a film written by Mu Chen, but it does not even reach the cost of 100 million yuan, it is inevitable that it is surprising.

Of course, Huang Yao, a first-line celebrity, is not counted.

He took the box office dividends of the film!

Fans are looking forward to it, and the publicity momentum is big enough, although the film schedule is not the highest on May 1st, it is not much less than the first.

And as soon as the box office came out on the first day, everyone was shocked.

The box office broke 300 million on the first day, winning the single-day box office championship, and even nearly 100 million more than the second.

This box office directly blinded the entire film and television industry.

It's the rhythm of a day's return!

A small-budget film has turned a big production!

Mu Chen's screenwriter's box office appeal is so amazing?

No one thinks that the first-day box office is because of director Lu Hai, nor does he think that the box office appeal of the leading actor Huang Yao is so amazing.

The box office topped on the first day, and the word-of-mouth was also surprising.

Fans were unanimously praised, and even the most demanding critics praised the film.

Moreover, the film also raises an extremely powerful topic.

The problems of patients with cancer and other serious illnesses about the inability to buy, delay, and buy imported 'life-saving medicines' have been nakedly displayed in front of the public.

The film uses a grassroots group portrait realistic portrayal to vividly unfold the tenacious life story of the little people, and in addition to the protagonist Huang Yao in the film, other supporting roles also gave extremely wonderful performances.

And director Lu Hai is also highly praised. He took the ordinary, humble, and uneventful daily life of the little people, as well as the small details of life, to a more far-reaching step.

The film explores the contradictions and dilemmas of various realities with excellent themes: the survival dilemma of patients, the moral dilemma of drug dealers, the legal dilemma of the police, and the commercial dilemma of pharmaceutical companies.

While portraying the dilemma, it also makes people think about the dilemma. The warmth and hope contained in the subject matter, as well as the delicate realism brushstrokes, make people feel the human power of the film.

This is a film that has touched many people very much, and the sense of substitution is extremely strong.

The director's handling of the details is also excellent.

The film is well-edited, and the language of the shots is crisply humorous.

No one thought that such a film would be so popular.

even, the blockbusters released at the same time were so overwhelmed that they couldn't hold their heads up.

The film became popular, and it also aroused heated public opinion.

On the second day of release, the film schedule has increased, and the box office has also increased.

On the third day of release, the single-day box office increased again, although it did not break the 400 million mark, but the cumulative box office in three days broke the 1 billion mark.

A small-budget film, the box office is so amazing.

Looking at the current trend, it is possible to break 2 billion and 3 billion, and it may not even be possible to break 4 billion.

This is against God!

Nowadays, the Chinese film market is exploding, and there are not many films that break 3 billion. But almost all of them are blockbusters, which film breaks the box office of 3 billion, and the production cost is not hundreds of millions?

But the production cost of this film is less than 100 million!

It's a miracle.

However, to everyone's disbelief, the head of state actually gave instructions on the heated public opinion caused by this film, asking relevant departments to speed up the implementation of relevant measures such as price reduction and supply guarantee of anticancer drugs.

In the eyes of many, this is the biggest compliment to the film.

However, Mu Chenzhi did not pay attention to these, and he devoted himself to the filming of "Covering the Sky".

In this film, there are also a lot of location shooting.

Among them, there are not many plots of Mount Tai, but they need to be filmed in real life.

Of course, relatively speaking, it's more about indoor shooting, and then post-production special effects.

Shooting on location, Mu Chen is placed in the back.

So, all this time was filmed in the studio.

"The box office of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is somewhat unexpected, and it may be possible to break four billion. ”

Chen Fuhai came to visit the class, and the film "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will naturally be talked about.

Nowadays, in the film industry, this film is an unavoidable topic.

Mu Chen smiled.

With such a box office, Mu Chen was not much surprised.

The original box office broke 3 billion, and at that time, there were only a few films that broke 3 billion?

And now?

If you break 3 billion, you can't even enter the top 20 at the box office.

The market potential is different, and the box office surpasses the original, so what's so surprising!

"Do you think 'Young You' will be the same?" Chen Fuhai then asked.

Both films are low-budget films, and both are aimed at some social topics.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" reflects the problem of "doctors, medicines, and patients", while "Young You" reflects school bullying.

Chen Fuhai feels that it is very likely that "Young You" will set off a topic of public opinion like "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

"How dare you think about it!" Mu Chen shook his head and said.

There is a great possibility that the film will set off a topic, but the box office will reach 4 billion, and in Mu Chen's opinion, the possibility is very small.
