Chapter 267: Is It Worth It?

The sensation caused by Mu Chen's new film did not last long.

After all, there isn't much to be said about the new film.

Not even the cast was revealed.

The media can't stir it up even if they want to. What's more, they won't fry either!

Some people suspect that with such a big investment, the male protagonist is estimated to be Mu Ze did not run, and the female protagonist may be Su Xiaowan, who is about to make a comeback.

Unfortunately, this speculation was quickly dismissed.

At the end of October, "I Am a Legend" invited the media and held a grand launch conference.

This movie, written by Mu Chen, directed by Xu Wen, and starring Mu Ze, naturally attracted countless media and fans.

Following Zhang Gang and Chen Mouzhi, the great director Xu Wen also cooperated with Mu Chen.

There is no need to guess that this film is aimed at the international market.

What's more, after "Inception", Mu Ze has gained international popularity and even has a certain box office appeal.

With Mu Chen's strength to support Mu Ze, in this case, he will naturally make persistent efforts.

This film must be a film that has stabilized Muze's international popularity, and it will not be bad.

This can be seen in the investment.

With a budget of 150 million US dollars and more than one billion Chinese dollars, it is much larger than "Jurassic Park" and "Godzilla", directly catching up with Mu Chen's "Inception".

With such an investment, everyone has to sigh: Dawn Film and Television is really rich!

Not counting TV series, there are now two investment in filming, Mu Chen's new film has invested two or three hundred million US dollars, and this film is more than 100 million US dollars.

That's more than 400 million US dollars, and if you count the unreleased "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", it's even more.

Of course, those two films are only a fraction of these two films, and as for the TV series, it is not worth mentioning.

With such a large flow of funds, I am afraid that only Dawn Film and Television can play around.

After all, it was just a start-up, and the popularity of "I Am Legend" did not last long.

Perhaps, any film that has not been released will not last long.

The film has just begun to shoot, and it is impossible for Dawn Film and Television to spend money on hype.

The media will not actively hype it either.

"Coming back?"

Mu Chen looked at Wang Hao and said with a smile.

This guy went abroad to relax, and he probably got carried away when he was scattered.

I came back two days ago, and I'm here with Marin today.

If Zhao Jin hadn't filmed, he would probably have come.

"I'm ready to quit the entertainment industry. Wang Hao said with a smile.

"Have you thought about it?" Mu Chen looked at Wang Hao and asked.

He had had this speculation before.

It seems that that the impact of that incident on him was indeed not small.

"I've thought about it. Wang Hao said, "I entered the industry just to have fun." Now that you're almost done, it's time to get back on track. ”

"You mean we're not on the right track?" Marin pouted.

"I mean go back to the way I should go!" Wang Hao rolled his eyes and said, "It's terrible to be uneducated." ”

"Fuck off!" Marin said.

"Go to your father's company?" Mu Chen asked.

If Wang Hao hadn't fished for three days and dried nets for two days, it is estimated that he would have become a first-line star.

He's not set out to do that.

Quitting the entertainment industry may also be a good thing for him.

"I haven't thought about it, maybe start a business!" Wang Hao said, "Although I haven't saved much money in the past few years, there are still some of them, and then I will find my old man to ask for it, and the starting capital for starting a business should still be enough." ”

"Don't tell me what you haven't thought about yet?" Mu Chen pouted and said, "It's said that you take one step and look at two steps, you just take one step first, and it doesn't matter if the road ahead is smooth or a giant pit." ”

"Don't talk about it so literary, it's still smooth, what about the giant pit?" Wang Hao said, "I just plan to quit the entertainment industry and start a business, and I don't want to quit the circle and start a business immediately." ”

No matter what the circle, you don't want to retreat, you have to step by step.

Wang Hao also has endorsements, if he directly announces his retirement from the entertainment industry, it is estimated that he will have to pay him to death.

"What suggestions do you have?" Wang Hao then looked at Mu Chen and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have invested in a lot of industries, right?"

"Eat with Ruoxi and his brother. Mu Chen asked with a smile, "You know each other, you can ask him!"

Li Ruolin's investment vision, there is nothing to say.

Wang Hao and Li Ruolin do know each other, maybe they smell the same, and the relationship between the two is not bad.

"Forget it!" Wang Hao said, "He's been busy with the live broadcast platform recently, and he probably doesn't have the heart to do anything else." ”

"I have a suggestion!" Mu Chen thought for a while and said.

"What?" Wang Hao hurriedly asked.

He knows Mu Chen very well, and Mu Chen's investment may be the most profitable movie, but the investment income in other aspects is also extremely good.

Mu Chen's investment vision is excellent. Li Ruolin once told Wang Hao that if Mu Chen didn't make movies, but concentrated on investment, he might be more worthy.

Wang Hao never doubted this.

"Bike sharing!" Mu Chen smiled and said.

Mu Chen's understanding of "shared bicycles" is also limited to the Internet.

It is not very clear what his experience is, what he is doing, what he is doing, what he is doing.

However, the idea of "sharing" opened Wang Hao's mind.

"Bike sharing, short-term travel, convenient and affordable. This is very interesting! This can be piloted from the university district first. Marin said.

"That's a good suggestion. Mu Chen nodded, if you want one in place and win the market in major cities across the country, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Mu Chen: They don't have any funds, no energy, and no manpower.

"How can I have a feeling of picking up cheap?" Wang Hao looked at Mu Chen and said, "Why do you have to invest in this matter!"

"Okay!" Mu Chen nodded.

This investment should not be large.

At least not very big at first.

Mu Chen naturally knew why Wang Hao asked him to invest too. It's nothing more than this idea coming out of him, if he doesn't invest, Wang Hao is afraid that it will take advantage of the big and affect each other's friendship.

Enda enmity may be an exaggeration, but between cheap, sometimes you can't talk about money, but you can't talk about it when it's time to talk about it.

At this time, it is obviously better to talk about it than to "share bicycles" or mess it up.

Mu Chen agreed so simply, obviously he also understood.

"Can I also cast points?" Ma Lin was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Hao looking at him, and then smiled, "Then cast points." ”

Starting a business is naturally not so simple.

"Bike sharing" is simple, but there are still many links that need to be opened up to achieve it.

Funding, Manpower, Relationships, Technology......

However, these have nothing to do with Mu Chen, he only pays money, and doesn't care about anything. He makes movies every day, watching Li Ruoxi grow bigger and bigger day by day alone, which is very fulfilling.

Wang Hao's withdrawal from the entertainment industry was not announced with great fanfare, but quietly.

In this regard, Wang Hao's family is naturally supportive.

For this reason, his father gave him a lot of entrepreneurial funds.

The filming of "Avatar" is getting smoother and smoother, perhaps much shorter than the estimated shooting time.

"I've seen it today!" Li Chao said to Mu Chen with a smile, "This is the performance capture system?"

"That's right!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "The main point of this system is to install hundreds of extremely tiny cameras on the head and body of the person, these cameras will capture the facial expressions and body movements of the person, and input the information into the computer, with a conversion rate of up to 95%, and the special effects personnel will make production based on these performances." ”

"With the help of this system, the boundaries between live-action and computer-generated characters disappear. ”

Mu Chen continued.

"Forget it!" Li Chao shook his head and said, "This kind of technical thing can't be played!"

Mu Chen smiled and said no more.

Li Chaoruo wanted to make a 3D film as well, in Mu Chen's opinion, it was a bit too ambitious.

"You shot all this film in the studio?" Li Chao then asked.

"There are live action shots. Mu Chen said, "However, it doesn't take much time to shoot on location, and the main thing is post-production special effects." ”

"Then when will your film be released?" asked Li Chao curiously.

"Try to catch up with next year's Spring Festival. Mu Chen said, "If it doesn't work, then put it in the summer file of the next year." ”

"So long?" Li Chao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Is it worth it?"

Is it worth it?

Even if it catches up with next year's Spring Festival, it will take Mu Chen a year or two for this film.

For such a long time, Mu Chen was able to shoot two "Inception", right?

Li Chao doesn't think that Mu Chen's new film can reach the box office of the two "Inception" combined, maybe not to mention two, one may not be able to reach it.

"It's worth it or not, you'll know when the film comes out. Mu Chen smiled and said.

Li Chao is not the only one who asks such a question.

Is it worth it?

Of course it is.

The special effects of Inception shook the world, but not enough. Hollywood can also do that special effects.

Chinese-language films need a "leading" film.

Mu Chen also needs.

Only by thoroughly gaining popularity, Muchen's follow-up layout will be much easier.

The filming continued, and from time to time, filmmakers who were good friends with Mu Chen came to visit the class.

In December, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was set for New Year's Day and gradually began to increase publicity.

Mu Chen wrote lyrics and composed music, and the theme song of the same name sung by Li Yunyi landed on major music websites, and instantly topped the major charts.

I have to admit that Mu Chen's songs are still so domineering.

Of course, Li Yunyi, a popular star, also played a big role in singing.

In addition to the director and Li Yunyi, Mu Chen is also the focus of publicity.

Today's Mu Chen, not only the films he directs have great box office appeal, but also the films he writes are also the same.

What's more, Mu Chen wrote two songs for this film, and also sang an interlude, and gradually Mu Chen attached importance to this film. Then the quality of the film seems to be guaranteed.

Mu Chen's works are well-known.

As for the song sung by Mu Chen, it is undoubtedly very exciting.

It's a pity that the episode sung by Mu Chen is estimated to be seen only after the film is released.

The promotion of the film is huge, which is the consistent style of the films produced by Dawn Film and Television.

On December 30, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released.

This is the most popular and the most anticipated film released recently, and it naturally won the first place in the film schedule.

And the attendance of the film is also extremely good.

The box office broke 200 million on the first day, and he won the single-day box office championship without any suspense.

The film's reputation is also good.

And Mu Chen's singing of "Dao" also instantly squeezed Li Yunyi's "A Chinese Ghost Story" from the top of the major music charts.
