Chapter 532: The Most Feared Man
Mu Chen did not admit that he went to Scorsese to participate in the Oscars before the release of "Titanic", and the reasons given were very reasonable.
But media reporters don't want to believe it.
The public doesn't seem to want to believe it either.
After all, Mu Chen has been famous for so many years, and many people know what kind of character he has.
Scorsese provoked at the Golden Dragon Awards, how could he not respond?
What's more, even if Mu Chen really didn't go to Scorsese, they would think so.
Because of this, the topic is stronger and the news value is greater.
This topic even surpasses who is crowned emperor after the Golden Dragon Award.
Who would have thought that the topic of this Golden Dragon Awards, the hottest thing is why Mu Chen's film did not participate in this Golden Dragon Awards.
Of course, "The Great Wall" won the best picture, and the popularity is naturally extremely high.
And this is naturally indispensable to the credit of the Dawn Film and Television Publicity and Distribution Department.
"The Great Wall" will be released on May 1st, and there is still more than a month to go, and the publicity can start completely.
"Want to go to Los Angeles in advance?" Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen and asked.
"Jumanji" has been completed and entered post-production, and Li Ruoxi is relatively more leisurely than Mu Chen.
"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded and said, "There are a few other things. "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and "Thanos" are both directors over there, and they need to communicate with the previous ones. Dream Pictures has to learn about some of its arrangements this year. ”
Mu Chen went to Los Angeles, naturally going to the Oscars.
However, there are many things in Dream Pictures that also need to be understood.
Although they are all hands-off shopkeepers, relatively speaking, Mu Chen's trust in Chen Fuhai is much greater than Harvey's, and his supervision is much stronger.
Of course, this may be related to Mu Chen's more time staying in China.
"How long will you be over there this time?" asked Li Ruoxi.
"I am afraid that it will take more than a month, maybe longer. Mu Chen said, "It mainly depends on whether things go well." ”
Li Ruoxi nodded.
Many of the films of Dream Pictures are led by Mu Chen, especially those superhero movies, almost all of which have Mu Chen's shadow.
This time, it is natural to discuss it.
Especially the first stage finale is coming.
So when Thanos was defeated or even killed after "Guardian League", then where will the cinematic universe go next?
The early foreshadowing has become more and more mature, and it is not far from Thanos reaching Earth.
Li Ruoxi also knows that "Guardian Alliance" will be the last film in this series directed by Mu Chen.
In the future, he may put more attention on the world of "Covering the Sky".
Provided, of course, that the first part was a success.
However, will Mu Chen succeed?
In Li Ruoxi's opinion, there is no need to doubt it at all.
He never failed.
It's the same this time.
This is not blind confidence, but she knows Mu Chen's talent best.
Before the heat of the Golden Dragon Award dissipated, Mu Chen had already flown to Los Angeles.
This time, in addition to communicating with the directors of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and "Thanos", there are also many films produced by Dream Pictures that need to be involved.
"How?"
Mu Chen looked at Steve Lucas in front of him and asked with a smile.
"Really give me this script?" Steve said with some shock as he looked at Mu Chen.
His voice trembled a little, and it was clear that he was very fond of the script.
His shock was clearly mixed with doubts and worries.
At this point, he had mixed emotions.
Mu Chen is a top-level director.
Although this film is an American story, Mu Chen is not uncontrollable.
Isn't "Titanic" the best proof of this?
Then, it's not that Mu Chen can't make this film.
Steve was puzzled, but he was also worried that Mu Chen would shoot it himself.
Because if he directs it himself, then it means that he has missed out on such a classic script.
What's more, he is not the only choice.
With the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Steve has taken his career to another peak.
But after "The Lord of the Rings", what embarrassed him was that he couldn't find a script that made him excited.
And Mu Chen's script, he was not only moved, but even his liver.
"You have to convince me first!" Mu Chen smiled and said.
In his opinion with Harvey, the first choice for this script is naturally Steve.
In addition to working with each other and getting to know each other better, it is naturally related to Steve's own ability.
If this film is filmed, it may be another "Titanic".
"Give me three days, no, a week! Give me a week. Steve said.
He didn't immediately try to convince Mu Chen.
He just read the script once, and although he had a general understanding, opening his mouth at this time could only backfire.
It's obviously not okay to talk about it after reading the script once.
If you don't research, you're not qualified to talk.
What's more, I still talk to a screenwriter who is a big director himself.
It is not easy to convince Mu Chen.
Three days, the time must be a little tight. Because this film involves a lot of things, you need to check the information.
"Good!"
Mu Chen nodded.
The script he showed Steve was "Gone with the Wind"!
This is a rare classic among Hollywood films.
In fact, Mu Chen wrote this script a long time ago, but he just kept it.
Leaving it is undoubtedly a waste.
He was still depressed about whether to shoot it himself, but now after filming "Titanic", he has no interest.
"Are you really going to adapt this film?" Harvey asked Mu Chen.
"Gone with the Wind" is a romance movie based on "Gone with the Wind".
Mu Chen hadn't seen that one, but he had heard of the influence of that one.
"You don't think it's necessary?" Mu Chen asked.
"No! "Perhaps, it will be a very influential classic." Perhaps, it will sell well all over the world. Moreover, the film and, will certainly promote each other. ”
"Then did you have a choice?" Mu Chen asked.
"Before, there was a candidate, but it was rejected. "You know, the best people are women writers, and you need to be familiar with that part of American history." ”
"No hurry!" Mu Chen said.
"Actually, you're one of the best candidates. Harvey said, "Your Journey to the West is a bestseller in North America. ”
The real best-selling part of "Journey to the West" is not Europe and the United States, but China and Southeast Asia, which are deeply influenced by China.
Today, several countries have made their own versions of this film.
It's just that except for the Japanese version, which is barely at a glance, the others are a little spicy.
In the end, Mu Chen's talk about the copyright of "Journey to the West" has changed a little.
Needless to say, Mu Chen's writing is needless to say, and writing this script, he must have had an extremely detailed understanding of that period of history.
"Do you think I have that time now?" Mu Chen pouted.
Harvey smiled and said that.
Of course, he knew that Mu Chen was impossible, and he didn't have the time to adapt the script.
There's no need either!
Instead of taking the time to adapt the script, it is better to write a few other scripts.
Mu Chen's script is very valuable.
Time is running out of the way, and the Oscars are fast in coming.
And Mu Chen still has a lot of things to do.
There are no Chinese films shortlisted for this year's Oscars, but the domestic attention to this Oscar is no worse than any other.
There are no Chinese-language films at this Oscars, but there are works by Chinese filmmakers.
And his work has been shortlisted for 14 awards.
Countless Chinese fans squatted in front of the TV, wanting to see how Mu Chen swept the Oscars again.
Although no Chinese films were shortlisted, there were many Chinese filmmakers on the red carpet.
It wasn't some red carpet person, it was an invitation.
In addition to Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan, there are also directors such as Zhang Gang.
This also shows that the influence of Chinese filmmakers in the international arena is getting bigger and bigger.
Of course, there is another reason why this Oscars are extremely popular.
That is the "grudge" between Muchen and Scorsese.
As soon as Mu Chen entered the venue, he met someone with a greater grievance than Scorsese.
"Hey, do you also have investment films shortlisted this year?"
Mu Chen looked at James and said as if surprised.
The expression, the tone, the thick sense of mockery, was simply undisguised.
Last year, this guy ran in front of Mu Chen.
And what about this year?
When James heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.
The films invested and produced by his company really didn't make the cut.
Of course, his ugly face was not Mu Chen's ridicule, but made him think of the losses caused by being sniped by Dream Pictures this year.
"Maniac!"
James snorted, turned around and left, ignoring Mu Chen.
In order to snipe at his company, Dream Pictures even did not hesitate to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of its own.
This is not a madman, what is it?
Dream Pictures is like this, don't guess, it must be Mu Chen's meaning.
James is hard to understand.
Everyone is for money, why does Mu Chen always lose at all costs?
If he hadn't backed the Falktor Group, I'm afraid his film and television company would have been destroyed by Dream Pictures.
But the loss caused by this really hurts his heart.
He lost a lot of money, and the Forkedo Group lost even more.
Mu Chen threw money at the Falktor Group, James roughly calculated, Mu Chen has lost at least hundreds of millions of dollars for this.
So, is it worth it?
Nature is valued.
Over the years, Mu Chen has indeed spent a lot of money in the North American media field, and he is still throwing money into it.
But he also has a lot of say in public opinion.
Moreover, Mu Chen's media industry, even if it is no longer with the Fuktor Group, will definitely turn losses into profits soon and gain a firm foothold.
Mu Chen is no longer stubborn, and the Fuktor Group will definitely not be stalked.
As for other media groups, they have long been frightened by the "crazy" actions of those media industries under Mu Chen.
"Crazy?"
Mu Chen looked at the departing James and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
The most feared people in this world are not the rich, powerful, and powerful, but the crazy.
Because madmen have nothing to fear, and no scruples.
Is Mu Chen crazy?
Apparently not!
He has estimates. If he had been a madman, he would have killed that guy long ago.
