Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian, and Yu Jiaolong, the three main roles, have high requirements for acting skills.

Luo Xiaohu is relatively much simpler.

Of course, only relatively.

Luo Xiaohu is naïve and straightforward, believing that as long as he makes a career, he can make Yu Jiaolong's parents look down on her and marry her openly.

It's just that he can't keep up with Yu Jiaolong's thoughts, and he is destined to change from a symbol of freedom to a new bondage. It is destined that he and Yu Jiaolong will not be able to go back to the past.

Mu Chen has studied the whole drama very deeply, and naturally he also has studied the role of Luo Xiaohu.

A good director's acting skills will not be bad.

Mu Chen's acting skills are also good, coupled with his own extremely high talent, it is not difficult to play Luo Xiaohu.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed in many places, and the crew was running around.

As a director, Mu Chen naturally goes without saying, and among the actors, Li Ruoxi undoubtedly has the most places to go. Wudang Mountain, Shunan Zhuhai, Desert, Huangshan and other places, none of them are left behind.

Without her role, Li Ruoxi also followed the crew throughout the process.

In this way, she can stay with Mu Chen.

Running around with the crew is undoubtedly very tiring. But the most tiring thing about this play is not this, but the tiredness of figuring out the characters.

Compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Wolf Warrior 2" is obviously more physically tired.

Emotional, intellectual......

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not about martial arts, but about culture and human nature.

This film not only has vivid characters, twists and turns in the storyline, fresh and refined sound and painting, vivid and realistic, but also has rich cultural connotations.

The original director skillfully integrated elements of traditional Chinese martial arts into landscape culture and Chinese calligraphy, and throughout the storyline development of the film.

Chinese calligraphy emphasizes softness and strength, while landscape embodies a sense of freedom.

Muchen films have always been striving for excellence, and this film is even more so.

During the filming, Mu Chen was not only strict with himself, but also with everyone.

is so strict, this drama is naturally filmed very slowly, and many shots have been pondered by Mu Chen repeatedly. The pursuit of excellence made the entire crew suffer and almost collapsed.

"Did he work so hard in the past?" Zhang Na sat next to Li Ruoxi and looked at Mu Chen, who was discussing the lens with the photographer in the distance, and said.

"Fight!" Li Ruoxi nodded and said, "He has always been like this, it's just that this drama makes him feel pressured." ”

"This play is very artistic. Human nature is inherently complex. Zhang Na nodded and said, "His previous works were all commercial. However, I wondered why he chose an art work when he entered the international market?

"Maybe!" Li Ruoxi shook his head and said, "Now I miss the days of filming "East Becomes West" and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance". You don't know, filming those two dramas, the crew laughed constantly, where is it like this drama, the whole crew exudes a depressed atmosphere. ”

"You can't let him keep making comedies, right?" Zhang Na smiled and said.

Every director has his or her own area of expertise.

What is Mu Chen good at?

Action, comedy, or drama?

It seems that Mu Chen's style is not fixed, and there are many types he is good at.

However, if you say what Mu Chen is best at, I'm afraid that nine out of ten people will say that it is action.

Mu Chen made his debut in kung fu dramas and entered the film circle with kung fu films.

This was his first impression.

Zhang Na didn't expect that Mu Chen was actually very good at art.

There doesn't seem to be anything he's not good at.

Genius, sometimes really incomprehensible.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is highly artistic, but it is definitely not weak in commerciality. This is a film that combines art and commerce.

As for whether it will succeed, Zhang Na does not know.

Still, she wants to succeed.

It's not just because she acted in the play.

The filming continued, and the crew was accustomed to the rhythm of the show, as well as Mu Chen's strictness.

Location: Wudang Mountain.

Characters: Jade Jiaolong, Luo Xiaohu.

Time: Day.

Jade Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu climbed to the top of the cliff, and layers of white clouds covered the canyon below.

Mu Chen: "Sister Long!"

Li Ruoxi: "Do you remember the story you said?"

Mu Chen: "Sincerity is spiritual!"

Li Ruoxi: "Make a wish!

Mu Chen closed his eyes: "Let's go back to Xinjiang together!"

......

This scene is the scene at the end of the play.

At the moment when Luo Xiaohu closed his eyes and made a wish, Yu Jiaolong turned around with a smile and gently lifted his body, threw it out of the top of the mountain, and threw it into the clouds, as light as a flying Hong, swinging into the sea of clouds, one heavy and one heavy.

The clouds seemed to grab her lightly, and then vanished.

Of course, this shot was completed in the studio, and it was impossible for Li Ruoxi to really jump off the cliff.

Even if you bring WIA, you can't shoot like that.

Li Ruoxi's drama has been filmed here, and it has also been completed.

And Mu Chen's last shot is standing still.

He smiled, tears streaming down his cheeks.

This is the expression on the face after seeing the jade dragon jump off the cliff.

Mu Chen looked at the replay of the camera, pondered carefully, compared it with the original, and finally turned into a smile.

"I announce: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is finished!"

Mu Chen got up and said.

"Oooh!"

When the crew heard this, they cheered.

Filming started at the end of August, and now at the end of November, three months makes them feel more difficult than filming "Wolf Warrior 2".

It's not physical, it's mental.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is completed, which is quite low-key.

The media were not notified, and no finale banquet was held.

After cleaning up, everyone went back to Yanjing directly.

At this time, "Wolf Warrior 2" has already been released, and its popularity has dissipated.

After three months of shooting, Mu Chen's attention is no longer so great.

The entertainment industry is the least news, and the media will naturally not revolve around Mu Chen.

When a film is being filmed, the media pays little attention.

The final box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" in the mainland was as high as 5.87 billion, which was higher than the original version. The box office of Xiangjiang is more than 40 million, which is many times higher than the original version.

However, this box office only rushed into the top ten of the Xiangjiang box office list.

The overseas box office is not very ideal, as Mu Chen guessed, North America is only 10 million US dollars, Southeast Asia and other places are much higher, with a cumulative amount of hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars, and Europe and other places are not very ideal.

The total global box office is more than 6 billion Chinese dollars, equivalent to 700 million or 800 million US dollars, rushing into the top 100 of the global box office list and almost breaking into the top 50. It is also the only Chinese-language film to break into the top 100 of the global box office.

There is no doubt that this film has become a "god" in China.

Box office, copyright, etc., this film has brought at least 2 billion revenue to Dawn Film and Television, becoming the most profitable Chinese film in history.

"I didn't make a movie to rob the bank, so I made money quickly!"

Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw the report given by Chen Fuhai.

"Investing in movies is also risky. Chen Fuhai said, "The overseas box office of "Excalibur" has also hit the streets, and this film has caused Guangzheng Pictures to suffer heavy losses. ”

Hearing that "Excalibur" hit the street, Mu Chen inexplicably felt a sense of refreshment.

I'm really not a magnanimous person.

"Dawn Film and Television doesn't seem to have lost it yet. Mu Chen smiled and said.

There was no snortle in his words, a little tsundere.

Well, and some schadenfreude.

Dawn Film and Television has indeed never lost money, especially Mu Chen's works, which have made a lot of money.

This is estimated to be unique in the circle.

Don't mention TV series, now the TV series produced by Dawn Film and Television have different ratings, but they are all hit dramas, and almost all of them rank first in the same period.

The TV series produced by Dawn is a competition from countless TV stations every time.

Occasionally, it is broadcast alone, and occasionally two or three TV series are broadcast together.

If it weren't for the explosion of "Wolf Warrior 2", the most profitable thing for Dawn Film and Television would not be movies, but TV series and variety shows.

Not to mention variety shows.

Every variety show has caused a craze, and the naming fee has been pushed to a sky-high price.

Dawn Film and Television can now be described as wealthy.

"What's going on with the special effects company?" Mu Chen then asked.

"I have selected a few, and I will send you the information, you can take a look first. Chen Fuhai said.

"Okay!" Mu Chen nodded.

Acquire a special effects company, and it has to be a good special effects company.

This is a deployment for the development of Dawn Film and Television.

Once "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is successful and Mu Chen opens up international popularity, there will be many places where special effects will be used in future films.

Of course, Mu Chen will not buy a special effects company because of his own needs.

The most important thing is that Mu Chen is optimistic about the development of the special effects company.

The use of special effects in movies will only increase.

If Dawn Film and Television wants to go international, special effects companies are indispensable.

Chen Fuhai has several special effects companies at all levels, including many top special effects companies.

Dawn Film and Television's current financial resources, to acquire, does not seem to be very stressful.

"Are you interested?" Chen Fuhai saw Mu Chen looking at him, and then asked.

"Shadow Figures. Mu Chen said.

"That special effects company in Xiangjiang. Chen Fuhai said with some surprise, "How did you choose this one?"

"3D!" Mu Chen smiled and said, "Although this film and television company is not the most famous, the company is mostly Chinese, and it will definitely be easier to communicate." And the technology is not much worse than those top special effects companies. Perhaps, the gap between Xuanying Digital and those top special effects companies is just funding. Of course, the special effects company that impressed me the most was a lot of research into 3D technology. ”

"3D?3D technology?" Chen Fuhai frowned and said, "Although 3D films appear, the cost is high and the income is low. A few films didn't seem to have much of a response. ”

"I believe that sooner or later 3D will become a movie-watching trend. Mu Chen smiled and said, "The reason why those 3D films don't have a big response is because they are tied up and haven't been completely let go." ”

"Let go?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and said, "You mean to increase investment? That is not an ordinary big risk! As far as I know, the investment in those 3D films is basically over 100 million yuan, over 100 million dollars. Some have low returns, and some have even lost a lot of money. ”

Mu Chen smiled but said nothing.

How much is more than 100 million dollars?

How much did you invest in "Avatar", which made 3D films popular all over the world?

That's several times.

If the investment is not large and the visual shock is not impressive, how high can the box office of the film be?

The box office is not high, the income is low, 3D films are not popular, and there are naturally fewer and fewer films of this kind.

Why did the 3D film of that world become popular all over the world in such an instant?

is nothing more than a global box office hit of "Avatar", and the vision shocked the world.

Of course, the most important thing is that "Avatar" has set off a global 3D craze, allowing investors to see the hot market for 3D films.

With an investment of five or six billion, the global box office is nearly three billion.

Such a benefit, who does not have hot eyes.

And what about this world?

Those 3D films didn't hit the box office, and they almost lost money, let alone caused 3D fever.

Investors can't see the returns, and 3D videos are naturally rare.

"You're not going to make a 3D film in your next film, are you?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and was startled.

"There's no hurry. Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "Let's watch the reaction of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" first, and then make a film that completely opens up the international market." If it is only the domestic market, I am afraid it will be difficult to support such a large investment. Shoot now, it's not the right time. ”

Mu Chen had to admit that big investment was a big risk.

"Avatar" is popular all over the world, in addition to the film itself, the director's global box office appeal cannot be ignored.

When Chen Fuhai heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew Mu Chen, although it would not swell as rumored, but once he had any thoughts, the nine cows would not be able to pull it back.

Fortunately, although Mu Chen wants to make a 3D film with a big investment, he has not lost his mind yet.

It's just that Chen Fuhai faintly feels that Mu Chen's investment in making 3D films will be beyond his imagination.

"Then I'll go to Xiangjiang every few days. Chen Fuhai said.

"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded and said, "If you encounter any trouble, go to Chu Yuhua of British Union Film and Television, I have some relationship with him." ”

Chen Fuhai nodded.

Who Chu Yuhua is, he naturally knows. Dawn Film and Television and British Union Film and Television also cooperate.

Not long after Chen Fuhai left, Ma Lin walked in again.

"Coming back?" Marin said with a smile.

"It's been back for a few days, okay. Mu Chen pouted and said.

""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was so high-profile when it started, how did I know that it would be so low-key when it was finished. Marin said.

"Something?" Mu Chen looked at Marin and asked.

"It's okay, idle. Marin said.

His TV series has long been completed, and now that the broadcast is about to start, he is really idle.

When I came to the company today, I guess I heard the news that Mu Chen was coming back and came to him.

"But I'm busy. Mu Chen said angrily, "I have something to say, I have to go to the later stage of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" if I have nothing to do." ”

"Okay!" Marin glanced at Mu Chen and said, "I want to change careers?"

"Change careers?" Mu Chen said in surprise, "What is the industry? to be an actor or a producer? Don't tell me that you want to change careers to become a singer?"

"It's not. "I want to make a movie." ”

"What is that call changing careers?" Mu Chen pouted and said, "If you want to make a movie, then shoot." ”

"Script!" said Marin looked at Mu Chen with a smile.

Mu Chen finally understood what this guy was doing here.

"Isn't there a screenwriting department?" Mu Chen said casually.

"It's all TV scripts. Marin said.

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Mu Chen is the only director of Dawn Film and Television, and the scripts of the films he shoots are all written by him himself, without going through the screenwriting department.

Therefore, the screenwriting department is revolving around TV dramas.

"Wait, I'll write to you when I'm done with this. Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "By the way, what type of film do you want to make?"

"Let's try our hand at making a low-budget comedy first. Marin spoke.
