Chapter 282: Li Ruoxi let the play
"Journey to the West" is so popular, so what will be the ratings of the adapted TV series?
No one is worried about that.
What's more, with an investment of 200 million, and it is directed by Yu Yun, a director who is good at magic movies.
The quality of the film is obviously guaranteed, and it will not be shoddy.
The TV series produced by Dawn Film and Television are not shoddy.
Not to mention that it is still adapted by Mu Chen.
As soon as the news of the TV series came out, many TV stations began to contact Dawn Film and Television to win the TV series.
It is estimated that there is only this film, and before filming has started, the TV station has already offered a high price.
In the eyes of many people, this drama may have the possibility of breaking the ratings record!
Of course, it is not only TV stations that come to the door, but also many film and television companies.
This drama has such a high degree of attention, so not to mention participating in investment, it is also excellent to be able to get a role for its artists.
With the consistent style of Dawn Film and Television, the role of Monkey King must be played by its artists, and even Tang Seng, Sha Seng, Zhu Bajie, etc. will not be cheap for artists from other companies.
But there are so many characters in this drama, and many of them are quite outstanding.
For example, Yang Jian, Nezha, etc.
These artists will definitely not make full use of Dawn Film and Television, not to mention that Dawn Film and Television does not have so many artists.
However, these Mu Chens have never asked.
He didn't have that much energy to ask.
How the actor chooses, Yu Yun and others will think about it clearly.
Of course, Mu Chen also believes that on the actors' choices, especially Sun Wukong's choices, Yu Yun and others will definitely seek Mu Chen's opinions.
Yu Yun won the directing rights of this drama and did a lot of homework.
Mu Chen can see this from the discussion with him.
Yu Yun estimated that he had also seen those analyses and discussions on the Internet.
Obviously, it will take a long time to prepare and shoot the TV series. Not to mention anything else, the adaptation of the script will take a while.
Yu Yun seems to like this film very much and is ready to participate in the screenwriting himself.
Mu Chen's main focus is still on the post-production of "Avatar", and as for "Journey to the West", he only occasionally discusses it with Yu Yun.
The popularity of "Journey to the West" gradually dissipated.
The popularity of nothing will always be maintained, even if the sales of "Journey to the West" have always been at the top of the list.
However, it is already amazing that this film has been able to maintain such a high level of popularity for so long.
"Actually, the peripheral products of "Journey to the West" can also be considered. Mu Chen said to Chen Fuhai with a smile.
"Peripheral products?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen, thoughtful.
"You say, how about we buy a toy factory?" Mu Chen said.
"Huh?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen with some surprise, but quickly reacted.
Mu Chen: This is preparing to develop peripheral products for film and television dramas.
The acquisition of the toy factory, the peripheral products of "Journey to the West", is not enough for him to do so.
Chen Fuhai understands Mu Chen's temperament.
"Don't you think that after "Jurassic Park", dinosaur models have become toys for many children?" Mu Chen said, "Those toy factories have made a lot of money, but they can give Dawn Film and Television a penny of copyright fees?"
Dinosaurs are the movie "Jurassic Park" that brought the fire, there is no doubt about it.
However, the toy factory that makes dinosaur models obviously will not give Dawn Film and Television any copyright fees.
The copyright of "Jurassic Park" is in the hands of Dawn Film and Television, or in the hands of Mu Chen, but the toy factory makes dinosaur toys, which is obviously not infringing.
I didn't tell you about it.
If Dawn Film and Television has its own toy company, then it can seize the market in advance, eat meat by itself, and let those guys drink soup.
But now?
Others eat meat, and Dawn Film and Television doesn't even have to drink soup?
"If the "Journey to the West" TV series is popular, the character dolls in it should be more popular. Chen Fuhai nodded, "In addition to "Journey to the West", I'm afraid you still pay attention to those superheroes who haven't come out yet, right?"
"That's right!" Mu Chen nodded.
If Mu Chen's version of the Marvel Universe makes Mu Chen a fire, then the profits brought by Iron Man, Hulk and other superhero-related peripheral products in it are also extremely amazing.
This is not just the domestic market, but the global market.
"Actually, I still have a big killer. Mu Chen continued.
"Big killer!" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen, a little curious.
"I'll talk about that later. Mu Chen smiled and said.
"You!" Chen Fuhai shook his head speechlessly.
Mu Chen adjusted his appetite, but he didn't talk about it again.
What is this?
Kill or bury?
Mu Chen didn't say, Chen Fuhai didn't ask, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and then said: ""I Am a Legend" is ready to be released in the summer in early August. ”
"Is it too late later?" Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said.
If it's in time, the summer release will be excellent.
"I asked Director Xu, and there was no problem. Chen Fuhai said, "It's your part, is it too late for the Spring Festival?"
"It's not a big problem, is it?" Mu Chen's tone was not so sure.
The post-production of that film is much faster than at the beginning, and if it is at the current progress, it will be no problem to catch up with the Spring Festival.
But no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents!
"This can be put away first, so you don't have to rush the schedule. I really can't catch up with the Spring Festival, and it will be released in the summer next year. Chen Fuhai said.
He knows very well how much Mu Chen expects from his current film.
Mu Chen nodded.
In the evening, go back.
Li Ruoxi said to Mu Chen excitedly: "Our girl will turn over? But what does the Internet say, 'two lifts, four turns, six will sit, seven rolls and eight climbs will walk'? Our girl has not been four months old! Isn't it amazing?"
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "That's just an approximate time, not accurate." Some are earlier, some are later, and all are normal. ”
"When my girl can climb, should we catch her Zhou? What do you think she will catch?" Li Ruoxi pouted and continued.
"What do you have to put in?" Mu Chen said.
"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, piano, chess, books, paintings, cameras, money, ......" Li Ruoxi opened her mouth and said a lot.
Mu Chen just smiled and watched, did not interrupt, and occasionally gave some advice to himself.
"Brother went to Hollywood to film?"
Regarding children, Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi have a lot of topics, but not all topics revolve around children.
"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded and said, "It is estimated that it will only be a matter of one or two months, and before the release of "I Am Legend", I will definitely be able to come back." ”
Li Ruoxi knew the news, and Mu Chen was not surprised at all.
If Su Xiaowan is at home, she will often bring Mu Qing's little guy to visit the door.
That's right, Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan's son is called Mu Qing, and Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi's daughter has also determined the name, called Mu Xue!
They are all very common names, and they don't have any special meaning.
"Sister Xiaowan's comeback, did it not meet expectations?" Li Ruoxi then asked.
"Hmm!" Mu Chen said, ""Run, Brother" has been recorded for many seasons now, and its influence is naturally not as good as before. ”
There is a little less freshness, and there is not enough innovation, although the ratings of the program are good, the reputation and influence are not as good as before.
"How about letting her film the "Resident Evil" series?" Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen and said.
"Are you willing?" Mu Chen was stunned for a moment and said.
"What is there to be reluctant towards. Li Ruoxi said, "Haven't I filmed in the future?"
The "Resident Evil" series was prepared by Mu Chen for Li Ruoxi.
However, now that she has given it to Su Xiaowan, Mu Chen has no opinion.
As Li Ruoxi said, she is not short of filming. There is no shortage of films like "Resident Evil" that can make people go international.
How is Resident Evil?
There are many differences, but being able to make a few sequels is enough to say a lot.
This series is not only about movies, but also about games.
There are several "Resident Evil", Mu Chen knows it, but he hasn't watched them all.
However, that didn't stop him from making the series out.
Mu Chen has written the scripts of the first two parts, and he has also written some of the settings of the sequel, but he is not ready to participate in the creation of the script.
This matter can be handled by the screenwriting department of Dawn Film and Television.
The screenwriting department of Dawn Film and Television is definitely second to none in the Chinese film circle.
After the circle paid more and more attention to the script, other film and television companies also set up such departments, and even spent a lot of money to dig up the foothills of Dawn Film and Television, but it is still difficult to compare with the editorial department of Dawn Film and Television.
"Then let her shoot it!" Mu Chen nodded, and then said, "Ming'er, I'll give the script to Lao Chen and let him arrange it." ”
Li Ruoxi smiled and nodded.
The next day, Chen Fuhai read the script and some subsequent settings, and then looked at Mu Chen with a smile.
"This series, you should have prepared it for Ruoxi, right? Now that you have given it to your sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that Ruoxi will have an opinion?"
That's what Ruoxi meant. Mu Chen pouted and said.
Chen Fuhai smiled, obviously having guessed a long time ago, what he said just now was pure ridicule.
"Is there a director candidate?" asked Chen Fuhai.
"You know, I'm not so familiar with domestic directors. Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Do you have any recommendations?"
Chen Fuhai knows more than Mu Chen in this regard.
"Director Qiu Li from Xiangjiang!" Chen Fuhai thought for a while and said.
There really doesn't seem to be a suitable mainland director.
"Resident Evil" is not just a science fiction film, but also with thriller, action, suspense, etc.
"Qiu Li?"
Mu Chen smiled awkwardly, he had never heard of such a director.
This director should not be well-known.
"The director of "Shocking Change", graduated from the California Film School. Chen Fuhai said, "A very talented director." ”
"Which company?" Mu Chen asked.
There are few directors who can get Chen Fuhai's "very talented" evaluation.
"Associated British Films. Chen Fuhai said with a smile.
Mu Chen smiled embarrassedly, the director of British Union Film and Television, Mu Chen was naturally embarrassed to poach people.
British Union Film and Television boss Chu Yuhua and Mu Chen also have some origins.
