Chapter 521: A Special Star Second Generation

The same movie, different audiences, will see different things and will have different feelings.

are all big domestic directors, Chen Mouzhi watches "Titanic" and pays more attention to the different humanity shown by everyone in it in the face of disaster, unlike Marin, who pays more attention to the love in it, and which elements in this film are in line with today's film market.

Chen Mouzhi is now in his sixties, with a full house of children and grandchildren. Over the years, there may be elements of love in his films, but there are fewer and fewer of them.

He is past the age of discussing love.

Marin is different.

He is still a single dog now, and his movies are more commercial than Chen Mouzhi.

Therefore, whether he shoots his own films or watches other people's films, he undoubtedly pays more attention to their commercial elements than their artistic connotations.

Although Zhang Gang's words are short, they take care of both.

Maybe it's because Zhang Gang is committed to the coordination of film business and art, or maybe it's because of a habit he left behind since he dominated the Golden Dragon Awards.

"Do you participate in the Golden Dragon Award for this movie?" Chen Mouzhi suddenly asked.

"I should participate after the screening. Mu Chen said.

"That's fine. Zhang Gang nodded.

For the Golden Dragon Award, although this is a foreign language film, because the director and screenwriter are looking at each other, even if it sweeps the Golden Dragon Award, I believe that domestic fans are completely acceptable.

This is an English-language film, but it is the work of a Chinese filmmaker.

Zhang Gang naturally saw that this film had the possibility of sweeping the Golden Dragon Award.

"You can try that film. Chen Fuhai looked at Ma Lin and said.

"It's hard!" Marin shook his head and said, "However, if it's next year, it's probably even harder." ”

The meaning of the words is naturally biased towards winning the Golden Dragon Award before the release.

However, Marin also knows that his film is commercially dangerous, and it is not easy to win the award.

"When are you going to release this film? next summer?" Chen Mouzhi asked.

"It should be. Mu Chen nodded and said, "What, did you collide with Director Chen's film?"

"I definitely can't hit it. Chen Mouzhi smiled and said.

"Now, who wants to collide with you!" Zhang Gang smiled and said.

When everyone heard this, they laughed.

Not to mention colliding with Mu Chen's films, it is those big-investment films of Dawn Film and Television, who is not avoiding them now.

As long as Mu Chen has a new film to be released, almost all film and television companies will inquire about its release schedule and then make adjustments.

And while they were talking, they went outside.

"Hey, Xiao Chen, why did you come to Dawn Film and Television. ”

Zhang Gang saw a person approaching him, and said with some surprise.

"Director Zhang!" When the man saw Zhang Gang, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Hello everyone!"

"Have we met somewhere?" Mu Chen looked at the man and said with a smile.

"I worked as a scene reporter on the set of 'Truman's World'. It's time for Director Mu to come to visit the class, I guess I've seen it!" the man thought for a moment, and then said.

It's just that the tone is not so sure.

After all, many years have passed since the filming of "Truman's World", and he was just an inconspicuous scene at the time.

What's more, over time, his appearance and temperament have also changed.

But except for a little intersection at that time, the two didn't seem to have intersected again.

"You haven't said what you're doing at Dawn Film and Television!" Zhang Gang said, "Director Mu and Mr. Chen are here." ”

"I wrote a script about school bullying, and I can't watch it if I look at Dawn Film and Television. ”

The man couldn't hear that Zhang Gang was helping him, so he hurriedly said.

This is here to pull investment!

"I seem to remember who you are. Mu Chen smiled, but did not reveal his identity, and then said, "You should also be half of Director Zhang's student." Did you bring the script?"

"Brought. The man said hurriedly.

"Let's talk in the office!" Chen Fuhai said.

Above the aisle, it's not a place to talk about things.

It's impossible to talk about a movie in the aisle. Not to mention anything else, it's not convenient to read the script!

Although this person is an acquaintance of Zhang Gang, and even half of his student, he can't invest directly just by relying on this.

There has never been a shortage of people who run Dawn Film and Television to attract investment.

Compared with the company's internal films, this type of film is much more cautious in terms of investment.

Zhang Gang and Chen Mouzhi did not follow Muchen into the office, and it was not suitable.

When he asked about Xiao Chen in front of Mu Chen, Chen Fuhai and others, it was equivalent to introducing him to Mu Chen and Chen Fuhai.

Whether to invest or not, that's a matter of Dawn Film and Television, and if he participates again, it will be too much.

Mu Chen and Chen Fuhai looked at the script, and listened to some of Xiao Chen's thoughts on this film.

"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Chen Guodong, right?" Mu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "That's it, you come back every two days, and Mr. Chen and I will study it again." Both of us just took a cursory look at the script. ”

"Okay. Thank you, Director Mu, thank you, Mr. Chen. Chen Guodong got up, and a few feelings of loss flashed in his eyes.

"What do you think is a good shot for this film?"

After Chen Guodong left, Chen Fuhai asked.

"What do you think of this script?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.

"Very average. Chen Fuhai said.

"Then do you think the topic of school bullying is suitable for the big screen?" Mu Chen then asked.

"If the film is good, it is not small that it will cause heated discussions. Chen Fuhai said, "It may be possible to have a bumper harvest at the box office." It may not be impossible to go to the Golden Dragon Award. ”

"What do you think of Chen Guodong?" Mu Chen asked again.

"I don't know what kind of directing skills he is. However, he has a lot of research on school bullying. Chen Fuhai thought for a while and said, "If his directing ability is good, he is quite suitable for shooting this kind of film." ”

Chen Fuhai is talking about this kind of film, but not this film.

Obviously, he didn't look at the script.

"Is he from a field record?" Chen Fuhai suddenly remembered Chen Guodong's previous words, and then asked.

"He's done more than just sitting. Mu Chen said with a smile, "Do you know who his father is?"

"Who?" asked Chen Fuhai curiously.

"Chen Dao!"

Mu Chen said two words, but Chen Fuhai was stunned.

"No!" Chen Fuhai came back to his senses, a little incredulous.

Chen Dao is a domestic bigwig-level actor, especially after winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor with "Truman's World", he has reached another height.

He has served as the vice president of the Domestic Film and Television Actors Association for many years and has a wide range of contacts.

His son, how can he find his own script, write the script, pull the investment by himself, and even climb step by step from the bottom.

"It's hard to understand, isn't it?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"It's not that hard to understand when you think about it. Chen Fuhai smiled and said, "Thinking about Yuan Cheng and thinking about Cheng Cheng, it's not difficult to understand." ”

Yuan Cheng has created classic screen images such as Ip Man, and was popular for a while, and later relied on Yuan Hong's relationship to play a master of the Special Management Bureau in the Muchen superhero movie universe.

Now that his popularity has rebounded, he is comparable to a first-line star, but no matter how popular he is, his popularity is high, but it is difficult to get rid of the label of "Yuan Hong's son".

As for Cheng Jie's son Cheng Cheng, not to mention, now he is not a third-tier star, but at most he is a third-tier star.

Cheng Jie tried countless ways to make Cheng Cheng popular, but he was not satisfied.

Even Yuan Hong is the same.

Whether it is Cheng Cheng or Yuan Cheng, if the two of them don't get rid of the label left by their father, then their achievements are absolutely limited.

However, Chen Dao was in front of the stage, but Chen Guodong went behind the scenes. Chen Fuhai then said, "Is Chen Dao too harsh on his son?" ”

"Harsh?" Mu Chen smiled and said, "Then why is he half of Zhang Gang's student?"

When Chen Fuhai heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

The film starring Chen Dao brought Chen Guodong into the crew to "do chores", but many old people in the crew will definitely take care of him and give him advice.

In this way, Chen Guodong is still very experienced.

It's hard to say what the director's level is. But the foundation is certainly very strong, and if there is spirituality, the future is promising.

"Then what do you mean?" Chen Fuhai said, "How to reply to him after two days!"

"Shoot!" Mu Chen said, "but not to shoot this script." Chen Guodong's screenwriting ability, is it really not good?"

"Don't shoot this script......?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and said, "Two days, is it too late?"

"Who am I? I'm Mu Chen!" Mu Chen smiled and said, "Actually, I have been planning to shoot this kind of film for a long time. It's just that... It's a bit inappropriate to make this kind of film now. ”

"Yes!" Chen Fuhai said, "You are now famous all over the world, and every film has attracted much attention." If this kind of film is made, it will inevitably be misinterpreted and exaggerated by some foreign media. ”

School bullying?

Oh, it turns out that the schools in Huaxia are so unbearable, and the education in Huaxia is so bad......

Mu Chen's films, or the blockbusters of Dawn Film and Television, as long as they are aimed at the international market, when it comes to Chinese content, they all show their glorious side.

China is no longer a poor and backward country.

Today's Muchen has the obligation to let the world know this.

For the international market, Mu Chen generally avoids some shady things.

It's just that the impact of shooting is not good.

Through films, the export of Chinese culture is not impossible to expand the foreign Chinese film market.

If you don't shoot something well, how can you change the inherent impression of foreign fans on Huaxia?

Two days later, Chen Guodong came to Dawn Film and Television nervously.

"Look at this script. ”

Chen Fuhai handed a script to Chen Guodong.

Chen Guodong was a little puzzled, but he also took it, and then looked at it seriously.

"This ......"

After a long time, Chen Guodong looked at Chen Fuhai and didn't know what to say for a while.

"How is this script?" asked Chen Fuhai with a smile.

"It's so much better than my script. Chen Guodong smiled bitterly and said.

"Are you interested in directing this film?" Chen continued.

"Really?" Chen Guodong was stunned for a moment, and then stood up excitedly.

"This script was written by Director Mu, if you want to direct this film, then take it back and study it first, and then convince him. Chen Fuhai said.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Chen Guodong hurriedly thanked him.

At this time, he still didn't understand why Mu Chen would let him come back to Dawn Film and Television two days later.

This is an opportunity that must be seized.
