Chapter 220: Don't take too fast steps
Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan's wedding, the attention must be unimaginable.
Therefore, there are naturally more businesses advertising this wedding.
Mu Chen has encountered it, let alone Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan.
The two of them are the main ones.
Perhaps, Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan were so annoyed that they finally posted a Weibo directly, saying that the wedding would not go directly to any advertising, and asked the business not to disturb.
Well, there is no need for sponsorship either.
Businesses that only mention sponsorship and do not mention advertising placement are estimated to be just like Tianyoude Qingli Liquor, and their reputation is not great.
They needed a similar gimmick like "Mu Ze Su Xiaowan's wedding wine".
But those well-known brands don't need such gimmicks, they are really advertising "implants".
The former moisturizes things silently, but it is not suitable.
The latter needs to be deliberate, but it makes the wedding tasteless.
Mu Ze did not comment on others, but he would not let his wedding become an "advertising conference".
Wedding is the happiest moment, and it is also the beginning of the happiest life! How can a wedding be an "advertising conference" or a "commodity exhibition"?
That's tarnishing love.
The wedding was carried out in an orderly manner, and Mu Chen occasionally helped.
March is fast approaching.
"Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" has been released for more than a month, and the film schedule is getting lower and lower, and it is not far from the next painting.
As for the films of the same period, they have basically been drawn.
At this time, the total box office of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is as high as 3.3 billion, second only to "Wolf Warrior 2".
This film has also become the biggest winner of the Spring Festival.
With such a box office, I don't know how many times more than the original box office.
However, this is not to say that the Muchen version is much better than the original. The same film, released at different times, has different box offices. What's more, there are still two worlds, the development of the film market is different, and there are many regions where it is released.
This film was able to win such an amazing box office, in addition to the quality of the film itself, there are also "suppression" rumors before the release, the topic of "slapping the face" after the release, and the amazing nomination of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", etc., the topics are wave after wave.
Mu Chen's first starring role, or even the only starring film, is such a gimmick, which undoubtedly contributed a lot to the box office of the film.
"This year's Oscars are on March 28. Chen Fuhai said, ""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is scheduled for April 3 and will be released simultaneously worldwide. This is also the first step in the true sense of Chinese films, which will be released simultaneously around the world. ”
"Hmm. Mu Chen nodded.
"After the Golden Dragon Award, I will go to Hollywood first to find out the situation, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" wants to win the Oscars, and some necessary public relations are indispensable. Chen Fuhai said, "In addition, after your brother's wedding, you and Ruoxi need to go to the United States to promote with Li Long and them." ”
Mu Chen still nodded.
Public relations, not that there is anything shady about the Oscars.
Whether you can win an award or not is not something that can be done by public relations.
If the Oscars are shady and lack fairness, they will not be the most high-profile film awards in the world.
However, the two films are evenly matched.
One did PR and even guide public opinion, while the other did nothing.
So who will take the prize, it goes without saying.
"The Chinese film market is developing, but the world's largest box office is still North America. Chen Fuhai said, "If you and Ruoxi go international, then you will inevitably open up your popularity in North America." Promoting Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a great opportunity. ”
Mu Chen nodded and said, "If it's possible, buy a Hollywood film and television company." It doesn't need to be big, there are distribution channels. ”
"Isn't it too early to talk about this?" Chen Fuhai frowned and said.
If Dawn Film and Television develops too fast, it will inevitably have an unstable foundation.
The step is made, and it is easy to pull the egg.
Dawn Film and Television has had such a problem before.
Of course, this is not the main reason.
The most important reason for this is that Dawn Film and Television is now laying out domestic theaters, and there is no way to do it. Another reason is that Dawn Film and Television does not have enough funds to acquire Hollywood film and television companies.
Even if Mu Chen doesn't ask how big the film and television company is.
But the film and television companies that have distribution channels are probably not low in market value.
There are still three or two nails in the broken ship.
Dawn Film and Television lays out domestic theaters, and the cost is naturally not low, even if it is wealthy, there is no money left over to deploy Hollywood.
Chen Fuhai doesn't think that the current background of Dawn Film and Television is necessary.
"Let's find out first. Mu Chen said, "After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Jurassic Park" will be released immediately. Although the film was not completed, I watched it before, and the effect should not be bad. I don't think the global box office will be bad. ”
Global box office?
Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and said with a smile: "You are not generally confident in the box office performance of these two films in the international market!"
Mu Chen is talking about the global box office, not the domestic box office.
How about "Jurassic Park", Chen Fuhai doesn't know.
However, even if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is nominated for ten Oscars, he does not think that the foreign box office of this film will be amazing.
"If the box office of these two films meets expectations, the funds of Dawn Film and Television should become more sufficient. Mu Chen said with a smile.
Chen Fuhai nodded, he didn't pour cold water on Mu Chen.
It's just that as the general manager of Dawn Film and Television, he needs to prepare for both. Otherwise, if those two films don't meet expectations, won't they be in a hurry.
On March 5, the Golden Dragon Award Ceremony was held.
Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi walked on the red carpet hand in hand, and immediately attracted the attention of all the media.
If there is anyone who is the filmmaker who has attracted the most attention at this year's Golden Dragon Awards, it is Mu Chen.
"Mu Chen!"
"Mu Chen!"
"Li Ruoxi!"
"Li Ruoxi!"
"Get married!
......
As soon as Mu Chen appeared, many fans on the red carpet shouted the names of the two of them. I don't know who shouted the word "marriage" first, and suddenly the words "marriage" came like a tsunami, and even many media reporters followed suit.
"Muchen Li Ruoxi was urged to marry on the red carpet!"
This is definitely a scene that has never been seen on the red carpet.
Celebrities were urged to marry on the red carpet, and it is estimated that there is no one except Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi.
Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi were also a little confused when they heard the word "marriage".
The two looked at each other, but smiled.
"How do you feel when the two of you are urged to marry on the red carpet?" asked Mu Chen with a smile from the host outside the venue.
"Why don't you ask me how many awards I have the confidence to win this time?" Mu Chen said with a smile.
"You don't have to ask to know!" The host was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Director Mu will definitely answer: It's useless for me to be confident!"
"I didn't expect to meet a confidant today!" Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Director Mu, your brother Mu Ze is getting married soon, so when are you going to get married? Your fans seem to be impatient, and they can't help but urge you to get married when you walk the red carpet. The host said with a smile.
"Parents urge marriage, like many people, there is inevitably a trace of resistance. Mu Chen said with a smile, "However, the fans urged marriage, but they were a little moved." ”
"When you reach a certain age, which one hasn't been urged to marry by your parents?" Li Ruoxi said with a smile, "but it's rare to be urged to marry by fans." ”
Parents urge marriage, fans urge marriage, one is resistance, and the other is moved.
The reason for this is nothing more than the difference between intimacy and intimacy.
It is reasonable for parents to urge marriage, but fans urge marriage, but it is unexpected.
"Director Mu, you have been nominated a lot this time, is the award you want to win the most is Best Director?"
Naturally, the host inevitably asked about the awards, but it was different from the past.
"Of course!" Mu Chen said very simply, "After all, I am a director." What's more, I seem to have won other nominated awards. ”
Mu Chen did not answer the "official way" answer of "I want to take it".
He has a lot of films, and he has been nominated for many films for Best Director. But I haven't won this award until now, which is inevitably regrettable.
As a director, he has won a lot of Golden Dragon Awards, but he has never won the Best Director Award, and that regret is undoubtedly infinitely magnified.
"What do you have to thank you for being nominated for the Best Actress Award again?"
The host looked at Li Ruoxi and asked.
"Naturally, it's happy. Li Ruoxi smiled and said.
This is not the first time she has been nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress, which is why her acting skills have been recognized by countless people.
If you don't have some acting skills, how can you be nominated for the Golden Dragon Award.
"Then did Mu Chen ever think about winning Best Supporting Actor with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?" the host then asked.
"I really didn't think about it. Mu Chen smiled and said.
He played Luo Xiaohu purely because this role had an intimate scene with Yu Jiaolong.
Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi are very popular, and they are the most watched stars of the Golden Dragon Award this time, so the outfield host asked a few more questions.
The Golden Dragon Award Ceremony CCTV Movie Channel will broadcast live every year, and the length of the interview is naturally considered from the ratings.
Of course, the outfield host will not ask endlessly.
Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi walked into the venue, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and many people hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
In the past, Mu Chen was just a young director with strong box office appeal, but now that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been nominated for ten Oscars, Mu Chen's status in the circle has immediately risen to a new high.
Films such as "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" were box office hits, and Zheng Yonghe and others could still put the scores of their predecessors in front of Mu Chen. But now that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is out, a big director like Zheng Yonghe may not be qualified to pose in front of Mu Chen.
Many circles will talk about qualifications, and the same is true for the film industry.
Mu Chen is young, but his qualifications are no worse than any now.
There were a lot of people who greeted him, but there were not many people who could gather around Mu Chen and chat.
"I heard that you cooperated with Director Chen?" Li Chao asked Mu Chen.
"To be precise, it is the cooperation between Dawn Film and Television and Director Chen's studio. Mu Chen smiled, looked at Li Chao, and asked, "What, you also want to cooperate?"
"How to cooperate?" Li Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Let me act, or let me direct?"
"How do you want to cooperate?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.
"Of course you wrote the script, and I directed it. Li Chao said, "The last time I directed the film, the word of mouth hit the street, and I was really unwilling. If I have a good script, I think I will be able to shoot it well. ”
Not every director is a good screenwriter like Mu Chen.
The first film directed by Li Chao did well at the box office and made him a lot of money.
However, it's a pity that the reputation is a little poor.
The word-of-mouth hit the streets, and the appeal of the box office films he directed instantly dropped to the freezing point.
Even, the box office appeal of the films he starred in has also been affected.
He knows very well that if he directs another film, there are not many fans who are willing to pay money to enter the theater.
But if it is with the blessing of Mu Chen's screenwriter, then it will be completely different.
He wants to prove that he still has the ability to direct.
That failure also made him understand that a good script is also crucial for a director.
"Yes!" Mu Chen smiled and said.
"Really?" Li Chao was stunned for a moment and said.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Mu Chen said, "Before, that guy Marin was going to make a movie, I wrote two scripts, he picked one he liked, and there was one left, if you are interested, you can give it to you." ”
"Then it's decided, I'll go to Dawn Film and Television tomorrow. Li Chao hurriedly said.
He didn't think Marlin's leftover script was bad.
Produced by Muchen, it must be a high-quality product.
And it's not just the songs he writes, but also the works he writes and directs.
Marin's choice may not be good, maybe it is just suitable for him. Maybe as Mu Chen said, he likes it.
Mu Chen intended to give him the script, so maybe the script was really suitable for him.
"Why are you so happy?" Chen Mouzhi walked over with a smile.
"Let's talk about cooperation. Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Huh?" Chen Mouzhi glanced at Li Chao, then looked at Mu Chen, and said, "Your new film? That's a pity, I still want to invite Li Chao to star in my new film!"
Chen Mouzhi obviously sees Li Chao as an actor.
As for Li Chao's identity as a director, it is estimated that there are not many people in the circle who recognize it, at least directors like Chen Mouzhi will not recognize Li Chao's identity as a director.
Chen Mouzhi's new film is a collaboration with Dawn Film and Television.
The film naturally gives priority to the contracted artists of Dawn Film and Television. However, Dawn Film and Television can now support an actor who can support such a blockbuster, except for Mu Ze, it is estimated that there is no one else.
Li Yunyi, Miao Xun and others are also very popular now, but their box office appeal is a little weaker.
What's more, they will also star in Mu Chen's new film.
This also makes Chen Mouzhi's film have an actor vacancy.
The film directed by Li Chao hit the streets, but he himself is indeed an actor with excellent acting skills and box office appeal.
"It's not. The cast of my new film has basically been decided. Mu Chen shook his head, then looked at Li Chao, and said, "Does Brother Chao have a schedule?"
"Yes!" Li Chao hurriedly smiled, "Director Chen invited, if not, there will be one." ”
"Okay. Let's make an appointment and talk. Chen Mouzhi nodded and said.
"Huh?" Li Chao suddenly looked at the door and said, "Your brother and they are also coming to the award ceremony, I thought they were busy preparing for the wedding?"
"No matter how busy you are, you won't be able to spare time all night, right?" Mu Chen smiled.
While speaking, Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan walked over.
"Mu Ze, why isn't there me in your best man group?" Li Chao saw Mu Ze walk in, and said with a smile.
"Aren't you married?" Mu Ze was stunned for a moment and said.
When Li Chao heard this, he was speechless.
"In our country, groomsmen and bridesmaids can only be unmarried. Mu Chen smiled.
The customs are different from place to place.
Some places don't mind if the groomsmen and bridesmaids are married.
