Chapter 519: I like to see you pounce on self-doubt
"Journey to the West: Fu Demon" has not yet been released, but "Sword Immortal 2" has been completed. As for "Valkyrie 2", which is still being filmed, it should be able to be completed before the Chinese New Year.
"Sword Immortal 2" was completed, and Li Ruoxi came back without resting for two days, and began to get busy again.
"The role of Cheng Yong in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", do you think Huang Yao should play it, or let Zhao Jin play it?" Chen Fuhai asked Mu Chen.
This film, he can naturally see, is not aimed at the international market.
In fact, movies with general realistic themes have quite a few limitations.
Perhaps, many people in China have seen it and felt deeply, but it is always difficult to empathize with it when it is put in other places.
The national conditions are different, and it is difficult for people to have a sense of substitution.
This film reflects the problems of patients with serious illnesses such as cancer about the inaffordability, delay, and inability to buy imported 'life-saving drugs'.
These problems do not necessarily exist in other countries.
"You decide. Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "You can try the mirror first." ”
This film, whether it is the starring role or the supporting role, naturally gives priority to the artists of its own company.
The contracted actors of Dawn Film and Television are rarely criticized for their acting skills, even Li Yunyi, who was born in Xiao Xianrou, and Wang Yi, who is ready to transform.
Among these actors, Huang Yao and Zhao Jin's acting skills are undoubtedly the most prominent among the male actors.
Both of them can handle this role with their acting skills.
Moreover, both of them are A-list stars, and they have great box office appeal.
There is no problem with either of them.
However, the appearance conditions of the two are quite different, and Cheng Yong, who plays the role, will definitely give people a different feeling.
As for who is more suitable, Mu Chen is not easy to say.
"Who directs this film?" Mu Chen then asked.
"Lu Hai!" Chen Fuhai said, "Actually, Mu Wen is quite suitable, but he is preparing for "Jumanji", and the time is obviously not appropriate. ”
"Lu Hai is actually quite suitable. Mu Chen nodded.
Lu Hai entered Dawn Film and Television a little behind Mu Wen, but he was not as famous as Mu Wen who was shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award.
He is not famous, but his works have an extremely good reputation. Many of them are still small and big films. Among them, there are also films involving realistic themes.
"What about the others?" Mu Chen then asked.
"You want to ask him why he didn't come to talk to you, the screenwriter, about the script, right?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and said with a smile.
He has worked with Mu Chen for many years, how could he not understand what Mu Chen meant by asking.
"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded.
Directors and screenwriters, before filming, or even in preparation, will definitely have some discussion.
It is an essential process.
What's more, the screenwriter of this film is a big director himself.
Then this discussion is all the more necessary.
"He said he would do some research before he came back to talk to you. A few days ago, I seemed to be running to the hospital, and now I seem to be going to talk to someone from a pharmaceutical company. Chen Fuhai said, "What's more, aren't you also busy during this time?"
The post-production of "Titanic" is very smooth, and it will definitely be completed by the end of the year. However, while Mu Chen is following up on his post-production, he occasionally finds time to talk to people in the screenwriting department about some ideas for his next film.
In this way, it is natural to seem much busier.
What's more, Mu Chen's property is quite large, although most of them are hands-off shopkeepers, but there are some things that he still has to deal with.
With such an attitude, this film is also half the success. When Mu Chen heard this, he smiled.
He likes such a director.
He's such a person.
At the beginning, when he wrote this script, before copying the original version, he did a lot of tuning and understanding.
After all, there are still a lot of differences in some of the things involved in the film.
"If you shoot well, you may not be shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Awards. Mu Chen continued.
"It's not easy to make a movie with this kind of theme. Chen Fuhai shook his head and said.
It's really hard to make movies with realistic themes, but if they are made well, the probability of winning awards is much higher than that of other themes.
"Is your "Titanic" going to participate in the Golden Dragon Award?" Chen Fuhai then asked.
"Participate, why don't you participate!" Mu Chen smiled and said, "However, do you think you will participate before the release or after the release?"
That film, before the end of the year, will definitely complete post-production, and it will naturally be able to participate in the Golden Dragon Award early next year.
The Golden Dragon Award, like the Oscars, has no hard and fast rules for the release of films.
"Before the release, aren't you going to participate in the Oscars?" Chen Fuhai thought for a while and said, "Then why don't you talk about the Golden Dragon Award after the release?"
Mu Chen's film, if it wins the Oscars and has a great influence, then it will be used to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards, and the chances of winning will be more.
Nowadays, the Golden Dragon Award will definitely be affected by the Oscars, but the Oscars may not be affected by the Golden Dragon Awards.
The influence of the Golden Dragon Awards has increased a lot in the past two years, but it is difficult to compare with the Oscars.
"It's good!"
Mu Chen nodded.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Mu Chen has the confidence to be higher than him.
Although this film is not original to him and also refers to the original, he put a lot of effort into it. If he can win a few more awards, Mu Chen will naturally not mind.
The shortlisted Mu Chen also has self-confidence, but it is just a matter of how many are shortlisted.
However, it is difficult to say whether it will win the award.
After all, the judges are not the same, and the competitors are not the same.
"Actually, I still think it's better to participate in the Oscars after the release. Chen Fuhai said.
Mu Chen smiled, undeniable.
Chen Fuhai knew that Mu Chen had to get involved with Scorsese.
Where did he get his confidence?
No, he seems to have always been confident and never disappointed.
Chen Fuhai has read the script of "Titanic", and it is indeed very good.
However, if the script is good, whether the movie is good or not, then another story.
If the movie is good, whether it can be shortlisted for the Oscars, that's another story.
Even if it is shortlisted, whether it can win the award or not, that is another matter.
What's more, Scorsese's "Dawn", although the box office was miserable, that film was indeed excellent.
Thinking of this, Chen Fuhai suddenly looked forward to it.
In November, "Journey to the West: The Demon", which has been released for more than a month, gradually fell around the world.
The box office of this film undoubtedly exceeded expectations.
The domestic box office exceeded 3 billion, and it also became the third film of Dawn Film and Television to break 3 billion this year.
And that's not even counting "The Incredible Hulk 2", which was co-produced with Dream Pictures.
If you count it, that's four.
And even if you don't count "The Incredible Hulk 2", the films produced by Dawn Film and Television alone have exceeded 10 billion at the box office this year.
This is only the domestic box office, not the foreign box office.
Counting the foreign box office, let alone tens of billions, 20 billion are broken.
The Chinese film market is a big hit, but how much is the total box office every year?
The cumulative box office of Dawn Film and Television is estimated to account for one-sixth of the total box office in China.
The cumulative box office of Chinese films abroad, not to mention Dawn Film and Television, is estimated to account for one-third, or even more than half.
This may also be the reason why Dawn Film and Television has crushed other domestic film and television companies.
Dawn Film and Television's films, even if they are placed in Hollywood every year, they are in the forefront.
"Journey to the West: The Demon" has a good domestic box office, and the foreign box office is also good.
The North American box office broke $300 million, although there is still some distance from 400 million, but it is also very amazing. And the cumulative global box office exceeded one billion US dollars, which shocked countless people.
broke a billion dollars at the box office, and now it is extremely good in Hollywood.
In Huaxia, except for the films directed by Mu Chen and those superhero movies, there are few films with a global box office of more than one billion dollars.
Of course, only rarely, not nonetheless.
November is a relatively low season for movies.
And the film released in December has gradually begun to be promoted.
Marin's "The Great Wall" was ultimately unscheduled for Christmas and New Year's Day.
In addition to being a little rushed in time, there is another reason, that is, "Captain America 3: Civil War" will be released on this schedule.
Simultaneous release worldwide.
The popularity of the character of Captain America is still extremely high.
What's more, in this film, there are many superheroes. Among them is the extremely popular Iron Man. Superheroes such as Spider-Man.
It doesn't seem inappropriate to call this film "Revenge and Alliance: Civil War".
Team America, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Spider-Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, etc., its lineup is definitely no worse than "The Avengers".
This film is released, and if Marin's "The Great Wall" is being released, it will not be necessary.
In December, "The Great Wall" was completed before "Titanic".
"How?"
Ma Lin looked at Mu Chen, a little apprehensive in his heart.
This film is an attempt by him.
Xu Jin and other people from Huaying, Film and Television also looked at Mu Chen.
How is the film, the people present, Mu Chen is undoubtedly the most authoritative person.
He said yes, and then their hearts were at the bottom. If it is not good, then I am afraid that their hearts will be hanging.
"What does Mr. Xu think?" Mu Chen looked at Xu Jin with a smile and asked.
I don't think it's useful!
Xu Jin almost blurted out, but he still smiled and said, "The film, I think it's very good." However, I don't know how the market reacts. Director Mu, here is your best grasp of the market, give us a thorough understanding, right?"
It's good, it's not a polite remark.
He is one of the investors in this film, and he does not need to be polite.
Good is good, bad is bad.
At the beginning of the film, he watched it with a scrutinizing gaze, but it didn't take long to watch it before he was attracted to the film.
The ups and downs of the plot, the interlocking plot, and the suspense from beginning to end, he can't stop watching.
And the special effects of the film are also extremely good.
It's a good movie.
But Xu Jin really has no bottom.
At the beginning of "White Snake", he was full of confidence, and the result undoubtedly taught him a vivid lesson.
Now he has less self-confidence and more self-doubt.
What's more, the investment in this film is huge.
"Money, there should be some earning, but how much you earn, it's hard to say. Mu Chen smiled and said.
He looked at Xu Jin's appearance, but his heart was happy.
I just like to see you pounce on self-doubt.
How could Mu Chen not see that Xu Jin knew that this film was very good, and he also felt that the box office must be good, but he had no confidence at all.
Obviously, the street attack of "White Snake" made him have some self-doubt.
