Chapter 395: If you take too big a step, you won't be afraid......
The young director who was shortlisted for Best Director by Dawn Film and Television failed to win the award in the end.
Perhaps there is some regret.
However, a nomination has proven his ability to direct.
The competition of Dawn Film and Television is purer than that of other film and television companies.
If you have the ability, then you will not be buried.
Although he did not win the best director, he will definitely be vigorously cultivated by Dawn Film and Television.
Mu Chen didn't ask about this, he believed that Chen Fuhai would handle it properly.
With the support of Dawn Film and Television, he may not have no opportunities in the future.
At this year's Golden Dragon Awards, Mu Chen was invited to be the guest of honor for the best foreign language film.
This is undoubtedly the Golden Dragon Awards' first award for Best Foreign Language Film.
As for why Mu Chen was appointed to the award ceremony of this award, perhaps because of Mu Chen's international fame, there may be no special considerations.
The Golden Dragon Awards' first best foreign language film was won by a Japanese film.
It has to be said that Japanese films have a great reputation in Asia.
There is no shortage of good movies in Japanese cinema.
There are no longer a few Chinese adaptations of Japanese films.
At this year's Golden Dragon Awards, many excellent foreign films participated, some won awards, and some did not.
In Mu Chen's opinion, this degree is still very good.
Many films that appeared at the Golden Dragon Awards will be released in China soon.
Dawn Film and Television has won the distribution rights of a film.
That movie, Dawn Film and Television may not be optimistic. Largely for others to see.
Come to the Golden Dragon Award, that's profitable.
There are not many foreign films that have won the Golden Dragon Awards this year.
There are not many, but there are many excellent works.
And for these imported films, the above is gradually being released.
The Golden Dragon Award is an international film festival, and the above will naturally give some support.
The competitiveness of Chinese films has been strengthened, and naturally there is no need for restrictions to protect them.
Of course, those films that are not so harmonious will naturally not be released.
At the end of this year's Golden Dragon Award ceremony, the impact is still quite large.
At the very least, the first step in the internationalization of the Golden Dragon Award has been a success.
However, to the surprise of many people, the hottest topic is not these, but Li Ruoxi's pregnancy.
Who won the award, who was crowned emperor again, and which foreign films became famous at the Golden Dragon Awards, these topics were all suppressed by "Li Ruoxi is pregnant".
This also made countless people see how terrifying Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi's popularity is.
You must know that Mu Chen did not have any nominations for this Golden Dragon Awards, and Li Ruoxi did not even serve as the guest of honor, but just walked on the red carpet.
And Ye Zhizhen's acceptance speech, as expected, also appeared on the hot search list and topic list.
It is no secret that Mu Chen is a shareholder of the Guoshu Alliance.
Even if Ye Zhizhen, the "hero", is the coach of the National Arts Alliance, he is also well known.
But such a well-known thing has been hotly discussed because of Ye Zhizhen's comments after winning the award.
However, Mu Chen didn't pay attention.
After the Golden Dragon Award ceremony, Mu Chen, as always, was busy with the later stage of "Sword Immortal" and the preparation of "Martial God", and would return early to accompany Li Ruoxi every night.
"How about you look at this script?" Chen Fuhai said, handing a script to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen looked at Chen Fuhai with some doubts.
"Muwen wrote it, he wanted to shoot this. Chen Fuhai said, "The films he used to make were artistic, but this is a commercial blockbuster." ”
Mu Wen is the one who was shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, and his work Mu Chen took the time to watch it, which is really good. It's just that Mu Chen doesn't like that kind of depressing film.
"Then I'll take a look. Mu Chen nodded and said.
He was very curious why Chen Fuhai came to him with this script.
Chen Fuhai's vision is excellent, isn't he optimistic about this film, or maybe he can't see it accurately?
Mu Chen curiously opened the script and read it.
This is indeed a commercial film, without the depression of the film directed by Muwen before, but with some humor.
The film is more of a fantasy genre, or to be precise, it's an adventure and treasure hunting film.
"Very good!"
After a while, Mu Chen put down the script, looked at Chen Fuhai with some surprise and said.
"It's really good, this kind of film is rare in China. Chen Fuhai said, "Do you think there is an international market for this film?"
Mu Chen finally understood why Chen Fuhai came over with this script and wanted to listen to his opinion.
He is optimistic about the domestic market of this film, but he is not very sure about the foreign market.
Whether there is a market abroad or not will naturally affect his decision.
If Mu Chen is not optimistic, then this film is aimed at the domestic market.
But if Mu Chen is optimistic, then this film will naturally target the global market.
The difference between the two is undoubtedly huge, especially in the investment budget.
"This kind of film is still very marketable abroad. Mu Chen said, "The foreign box office of this film should still be expected." However, in terms of the rhythm of the film, it can be compact, and the places that drag on it can affect the suspense of the whole film, and it is best to have some big scenes and action scenes. ”
This script is indeed a little dragging in some places.
This is estimated to be the sequelae left by Mu Wen's more literary films.
Commercial films are important in terms of rhythm.
As for the lack of scenes, it is estimated that Mu Wen is worried that the budget is too high and he will not be able to pass the company's hurdle.
Mu Wen has shot small-budget literary films before, even if he is shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, but if the investment is large, the company feels that the risk is too great, and it will definitely not be approved.
Even if Liu Guohua took the script of "Chasing the Deer" and directly approached Mu Chen, Feng Yi didn't get a billion investment directly, right?
Mu Chen asked Feng Yi to serve as an assistant director in the crew of "Transformers", which meant to teach Feng Yi, but it was also a test.
If Feng Yi hadn't proven his ability in the crew of "Transformers", it would have been impossible to get so much investment.
Even so, when filming "Chasing the Deer", Mu Chen ran to the crew twice in three days.
"Okay, I'll ask him to discuss it with someone from the screenwriting department. Chen Fuhai nodded and said, "Oh, that's right. Your brother, after attending the Golden Dragon Award ceremony, did they go out to travel again?"
"Sort of. Mu Chen was a little uncertain and said, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing!" Chen Fuhai said, ""Resident Evil 3" is set for May Day, and the publicity is estimated to start soon. ”
"What about "Chasing the Deer"?" Mu Chen nodded and asked, "When the film is promoted, they should be able to come back." ”
"Resident Evil 3" is very different from the original, but Su Xiaowan is still the absolute protagonist.
When the film was released, publicity naturally could not do without her.
Another very popular actress Jiang Qin is pregnant now, and there will definitely be a lot less publicity.
If Su Xiaowan travels abroad again and does not return, the publicity will inevitably be affected.
"At the beginning of July!" Chen Fuhai said, "Isn't "Sword Immortal" ready to be released in early August? ”
Mu Chen smiled, in the summer files of these years, which time was not crushed by Dawn Film and Television against all opponents?
Not to mention the summer file, there are almost all films of Dawn Film and Television in good schedules such as the Spring Festival, and they rarely lose.
Dawn Film and Television dominates not only the summer schedule, but also almost all good schedules.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the films of other film and television companies have no box office under the films of Dawn Film and Television.
Yes, there is, and there is no shortage of box office hits, it's just that it's easier for fans to remember the first.
"Did that guy Robert come to Huaxia to promote the movie?" Mu Chen suddenly asked.
"Iron Man 3" is about to be released, and as the starring role, it is naturally indispensable to come to China to promote.
Iron Man's popularity in China is not low.
Of course, the most important thing is not that the investors are Chinese, but because the Chinese film market is enough for them to come.
Promoting the film is also promoting yourself.
Many Hollywood films are released in China, and the main creators of the films will come to China to promote them.
Nowadays, the box office appeal in China will also affect its salary in Hollywood.
However, his itinerary is very full, and he will not stay long in Huaxia. Chen Fuhai said.
Mu Chen nodded, and was going to go to the United States with Robert.
Think about it or forget it.
The film was released simultaneously around the world, and that guy is estimated to have run all over the world.
And Mu Chen went to the United States, but it took several days to leave.
Just catch the Oscars.
However, this trip to the United States will have to stay for a while.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is about to kick off, and he needs to follow up.
And he is also going to go to the crew of "Captain America 2" to take a look, although "Thor 2" is in post-production, Mu Chen naturally needs to know about it.
In addition, the director of "Avengers 2" also needs to be considered.
In this film, Mu Chen is not ready to direct.
A few days later, Mu Chen took a plane to the United States.
On this trip, in addition to him and Cheng Ting, there were also Xia Zhiyun and others.
"Aren't you preparing for the second fighting competition, how come you still have time to go to the United States?" Mu Chen asked curiously.
Of course, what is more curious is that Xia Zhiyun wants to go with him.
"Official, do you think I'm going to have fun!" Xia Zhiyun said, "This time I went to Los Angeles, and I need you to help me introduce some Master Liao Chengzhi." ”
"Your master and my uncle should have something to do with each other, right?" Mu Chen said suspiciously.
So, this time you go to the United States and use your relationship to talk to Master Liao. Xia Zhiyun said.
Mu Chen finally understood why she had to go to Los Angeles with her.
"Talk to my uncle?" Mu Chen asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
"If the Guoshu Alliance wants to enter the American market, then it can't get around the Chinese martial arts hall, and it needs the support of Hongmen. Xia Zhiyun said.
"Isn't it faster to enter the U.S. market?" Mu Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "You are not afraid of taking a big step and pulling ......"
Mu Chen remembered Xia Zhiyun's gender and didn't finish his words. However, at the end of the day, everyone understands the meaning.
"Don't worry, it's not an immediate entry into the United States. I just opened some joints ahead of time. Xia Zhiyun glanced at Mu Chen, and then said.
