Chapter 310: Mu Chen, this is not a way to live

"Year of Mu Chen", this may be an exaggeration.

However, in the second half of this year, the film market does belong to Mu Chen, and it belongs to Dawn Film and Television.

At the end of September, the popularity of "Independence Day" has decreased, and "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" has been paid attention to by countless fans with the promotion in place. After several months of preparation, Mu Chen's new film "Iron Man" began filming.

This time, it was still very low-key, no media was invited, and no start-up press conference was held.

In the past, in China, it was a helpless choice that could not escape the media.

Now that he is in Hollywood, Mu Chen will naturally not take the initiative.

Film shooting, both indoors and outdoors.

However, at the beginning of the film, Tony went to Afghanistan, but he didn't have to go to Afghanistan to shoot when filming.

Mu Chen's first shooting was the exterior scene.

The exterior scene involves a lot of blasting scenes, but Robert is still very dedicated and does not use a stand-in.

These scenes, although scary, are still safe.

"Finished filming the location?" Li Ruoxi said with a smile when she saw Mu Chen coming back.

When Mu Chen came back, she was not surprised, because Mu Chen called her in advance.

This question seems to be a bit nonsense, but between husband and wife, or between friends, a lot of it starts with nonsense.

"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded, hugged Mu Xue over, and said, "I'll start shooting indoors tomorrow." It is estimated that it will be completed before the release of "People and Ghosts". ”

"You seem to be very optimistic about the box office of that film?" Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

"Of course!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"So can this film become the highest-grossing romance film? Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

In this world, what is the highest-grossing romance film today, Mu Chen doesn't know.

"Become the highest-grossing romance film?" Mu Chen smiled and said, "I can't guarantee this." However, it is estimated that it is no problem to become a romance film with the highest return rate. ”

The investment cost of this film is not high, and if it can reach the box office as high as the original, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to become the film with the highest box office return.

Pure romance films will not be too high at the box office.

"Ghost Love" is obviously not a pure romance film.

is like the highest-grossing "Titanic" in the last time and space, which also integrates genre elements such as disaster movies.

However, among the many romance films, Mu Chen feels that the real box office myth should be "Gone with the Wind"!

was released in 1939, but the global box office was nearly 400 million, and the total GDP of the United States at that time seemed to be only more than 90 billion.

What's more, at that time, how big was the film market?

It certainly can't be compared to now.

Ma Dan, thinking of this, Mu Chen has an idea of getting this film out.

Although, the cost of investment is certainly not the same. The time, place, people, and so on are completely different.

However, Mu Chen believes that classics are classics, and this film is made, even if it is not so amazing at the box office, it should definitely be a big-money film.

Moreover, if the shooting is good, it is estimated that you can win a lot of awards.

Whether it's "Titanic" or "Gone with the Wind", both films need to be made.

And Mu Chen has seen both films.

The former was seen on the Internet, and more than once.

Of course, I don't remember how many times I watched it. Once, many times, he can remember it clearly.

The latter, on the other hand, was read at school when he was studying. For this reason, Mu Chen couldn't write his feelings after watching it, and was criticized by the teacher.

There are actually many high-grossing romance films.

It's a pity, such as "Beauty and the Beast", "Cinderella", "Pretty Lady", "Bodyguard", etc., Mu Chen has not seen it, and if he wants to get them out, it is naturally impossible and unnecessary.

"What do you want?" Li Ruoxi saw Mu Chen stunned there, and then asked.

"Oh, nothing. Mu Chen said with a smile, "Suddenly my inspiration exploded, and I thought of two very touching stories. ”

"Oh?" Li Ruoxi suddenly became interested when she heard this.

Mu Chen's inspiration exploded, which seems to be a common thing.

Li Ruoxi has long been accustomed to it. However, this is the first time that the "touching story" has been made.

Naturally, he was a little curious.

"There is still some information that needs to be checked. When I write it into a script, I'll be the first one to show you. Mu Chen said with a smile.

Do you want to check the information?

That's a must.

If you write "Titanic", then you must first check whether there is such a big ship sinking to the bottom of the sea in this world.

Yes, so what's the difference from the previous life.

When the script is written, there is no need to make some adjustments.

If not, the script may have to be adjusted.

If you write "Gone with the Wind", then you must at least understand the American Civil War and make some necessary comparisons with the film, right?

Otherwise, it would be a shame to make a joke.

Mu Chen continued to shoot as planned, the crew was already familiar with each other, and with a tacit understanding, the filming was much smoother than before.

Mu Chen occasionally takes a break from his busy time to consult some relevant information.

For the scripts of the two dramas "Titanic" and "Gone with the Wind", Mu Chen was not in a hurry.

As for whether to direct these two films, Mu Chen doesn't think much about it now.

The popularity of "Independence Day" gradually dissipated, and the box office potential was gradually exhausted.

However, the global box office of this film also surprised Mu Chen.

The domestic box office is nearly 3 billion Chinese dollars, while the global box office is nearly 1.4 billion US dollars.

Although it is not half a star worse than the box office of "Avatar", which broke three billion US dollars, it is also extremely amazing.

Much higher than expected.

Dream Pictures made a lot of money with this film.

"Independence Day" gradually came to an end, and "Adventure to the Center of the Earth" was released immediately.

The release and promotion of this film is naturally inseparable from the words "Mu Chen's screenwriter".

It seems that from July to now, the name of Muchen has not disappeared in the world.

"Adventure in the Center of the Earth" was released, and the box office performance was not very amazing, but it was not bad.

And the global reputation is also good.

Many places have won the single-day box office championship and the weekly box office championship.

And shortly after the release of this film, "Resident Evil" began to be promoted.

"Mu Chen screenwriter" has once again become the biggest gimmick in film promotion, especially abroad.

Whether it is the film director or the starring Su Xiaowan, she is not internationally famous. If you want to make the film famous and attract fans, you can undoubtedly only use Mu Chen's screenwriter to promote it.

And it seems to work well.

"Avatar" was released on July 13, and Mu Chen's works seem to have never stopped, one after another, as if they want to dominate the global film market?

Fans are talking about it, while people in the film industry are smiling bitterly.

Mu Chen, this is not going to give people a way to live!

Fans may not know, but they know that after "Resident Evil", there is still a film directed and acted by Mu Chen to be released.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Mu Chen's self-directed and self-starred film is a low-budget love movie.

A small-budget romance film?

Foreign film and television companies may not be afraid, but do domestic film and television companies dare to snipe from the company's most important films?

The answer is obviously not dare!

What about the small cost?

The low-budget film directed by Mu Chen, which has a poor box office?

Even if it is a low-budget film written by him, none of them have a bad box office.

What's more, this time it is starring Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi.

This gimmick alone may be enough to attract people into the theater.

Nowadays in Huaxia, who has the most fans is definitely not those popular little fresh meat, but Mu Chen.

"Avatar" swept the world, IMAX-3D amazed the world, Mu Chen excluded such a movie that stood at the top of the world, and now it has been regarded as the hero of Chinese movies by countless fans.

Or to put it this way, not only fans, but almost all of China regard Mu Chen as a hero, a hero of Chinese movies.

It was he who made Chinese films go international.

It was he who made Chinese films famous all over the world, and even caught up with and surpassed Hollywood movies in some aspects.

In November, the popularity of "Adventure to the Center of the Earth" gradually dissipated, and "Resident Evil" was released.

The film "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" is obviously much higher than the original box office.

The domestic box office directly broke 3 billion, surpassing "Independence Day". However, the foreign box office is not amazing. North America only won more than $200 million at the box office.

The global box office is just over 800 million, and 900 million is definitely hopeless.

800 million box office, is it high?

It seems that compared with the two films released by Mu Chen before, it is really not good.

But this global box office, let alone in China, even if it is placed in Hollywood, it is definitely an excellent box office.

Dawn Film and Television naturally made a lot of money with this film.

"Resident Evil" was released, and the domestic box office performed well, but the international box office was a little unsatisfactory.

Although there is a bonus of "Mu Chen's screenwriter", the global box office of this film is limited.

In this regard, whether it is Dawn Film and Television or Mu Chen, they are not too surprised.

The first part of this film, the investment is not large, and there are not many big scenes, and the box office will not do much.

However, earning money is definitely earned, and it earns a lot.

"Resident Evil" was released, and Mu Chen's self-directed and self-starred "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" was gradually promoted.

The statement of "Muchen Year" first spread on the Internet, and then it was reported by many media because it was too topical, and it immediately became a hot topic among the whole people.

In the second half of this year, the films directed and written by Mu Chen seem to be really not ordinary.

Starting from "Avatar", which swept the global box office and broke one record after another, followed by "Independence Day", "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", "Resident Evil", and the upcoming "Ghost Love", these are five films!

This is not shocking, but the shock is that the box office of these films is amazing.

"Avatar" is 3.2 billion US dollars, "Independence Day" is nearly 1.4 billion US dollars, "Adventure to the Center of the Earth" is over 800 million US dollars, and "Resident Evil" Judging from today's box office trends, it is no problem for the domestic box office to break 2 billion Chinese dollars and the global box office to break 400 million US dollars.

The cumulative box office is nearly six billion dollars!

If you count "The Love of People and Ghosts", there is no problem at all with breaking 6 billion.

It's only been half a year!
