Chapter 411: Journey to the West Movie World?
The reason why classics are classic is because different people have different feelings when they read them.
The same is naturally true of "Journey to the West".
There are many stories in it that have different interpretations.
Yu Yun is obviously a smart person, he gave his understanding in the film, but did not instill it in any fans.
The proportions are just right.
In this way, it will naturally not disgust the original party.
Whether it is the previous TV series, animation, or this film, although the monkey is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, there is absolutely no plot of the Jade Emperor drilling the table.
When I watched "Journey to the West" in my previous life, this was the most difficult thing to accept.
Now, it's made up.
The film was released, and the box office did not come out on the first day, but the word of mouth has already come out.
The Golden Dragon Movie has a rating of nearly nine points on the Internet, which is enough to show how popular this film is among fans.
Fans like it, and many critics have also given a lot of comments to this film.
Although the word of mouth is not overwhelming, it is also excellent.
With such a word-of-mouth, coupled with the attendance rate of each reaction, the box office is estimated to be stable.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mu Ze left with his family as usual and went to Su Xiaowan's hometown.
It's been a habit they've had for years.
And after Mu Chen sent them to the airport, the box office of "Havoc in Heaven" came out on the first day.
"This box office is a bit unexpected!" Li Ruoxi said with a smile.
"Indeed!" Mu Chen nodded and said.
456 million!
Nearly 100 million more than Mu Chen's estimate.
In his opinion, the box office of this film can break 400 million on the first day, which is already extremely good.
After all, there are many blockbusters released during the Spring Festival, and this film is not a monopoly.
Several blockbusters compete, which will definitely divert the box office.
"Havoc in Heaven" has the most momentum, and it is not surprising that it won the top spot at the single-day box office. I was surprised that the single-day box office was so high.
The film ranked second, but it only had a single-day box office of more than 200 million, a gap of nearly 200 million.
This is extremely rare in the Spring Festival stalls.
"The IP of Journey to the West is really valuable!" Li Ruoxi said with some sighs.
Mu Chen once said that this IP is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, and Li Ruoxi still doesn't think so.
Now I look at it, but it's not half an exaggeration.
"Journey to the West" has sold amazingly, and has been translated into several languages, which can be said to be a bestseller all over the world.
Mu Chen doesn't know how much royalty he earned with this one.
In addition, the income of TV dramas, animations, and peripheral products is even more unimaginable.
And a "Havoc in Heaven" box office broke 400 million on the first day, and many media speculated that this film may break 4 billion.
And that's just the domestic box office.
It is difficult to say about the box office abroad, but it should not be too bad in Southeast Asia and other regions.
So how much value does such a film create?
What's more, this is just a story of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace". How many familiar stories are there in the whole "Journey to the West", and how many can be adapted into movies?
So how many "Journey to the West" movies will there be, and if every box office is like this, then what will be the total box office of the "Journey to the West" series?
Even, in the eyes of many people, the entire "Journey to the West" can be made into a movie world.
After filming the story of "Journey to the West", you can also shoot the stories of other popular characters, such as Yang Jian, Nezha and others!
How many movies will this be, and how much box office will it create?
The box office of "Havoc in Heaven" has been rising, reaching as high as 1.3 billion in three days, which can be described as amazing.
With such a box office, people naturally see the value of the IP of "Journey to the West".
It's a pity that the copyright is in Mu Chen's hands, not to mention other film and television companies, Dawn Film and Television has to give Mu Chen copyright fees for shooting such films.
Of course, if you can buy the copyright from Mu Chen for money, it is estimated that there will be an endless stream of film and television companies coming to your door.
Because he was preparing to shoot "Home Alone", Mu Chen did not stay in his hometown for long.
Mu Xue's birthday this year was spent at his grandmother's house.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, many office workers have already gone to work, and the single-day movie box office has ushered in the first big drop.
However, at this time, the box office of "Havoc in Heaven" had already exceeded 2 billion and went to 3 billion.
Without any suspense, this film has become the biggest winner of this year's Spring Festival.
The film became a big hit, and the idea of Journey to the West movie world was mentioned by more and more people.
Mu Chen has created a superhero movie world, allowing countless people around the world to see that the movie world is far more valuable than the movie series.
Whether there will be a rare movie world, it is too early to say. After all, the story of Journey to the West has just begun.
Back in Yanjing, Mu Chen also began to be busy, in addition to following up on the later stage of "Martial God" and the later preparation of "Guardians of the Galaxy", he also had to follow up the preparation of "Home Alone".
The preparation of "Home Alone" is naturally not as cumbersome and cumbersome as "Guardians of the Galaxy".
As soon as the cast is in place and the filming location is well connected, filming can basically begin.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" is different, costumes, props, etc. can make people rack their brains.
Of course, many of the costumes, spaceships, weapons and other designs in it, Mu Chen gave the sample drawings according to the original, and then asked the relevant departments to create them again.
If you can surpass the original, then it is naturally better, if not, it is okay to follow the original.
With the original design reference, this saves a lot of time.
What's more, in terms of characters, there are quite a few in "Guardians of the Galaxy", and many of them appear in the second part.
And in "Home Alone", there are only a few main characters.
In addition to the protagonist and the two stupid thieves, there are also the protagonist's parents, and an old man.
The protagonist's parents are made cameos by Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan, and the main characters are the two stupid thieves.
Such a role is not difficult to find among the contracted artists of Dawn Film and Television.
Chen Fuhai recommended two actors to Mu Chen, and Mu Chen still recognized it very much.
A Chen Kun, the fourth senior brother in "Shaolin Football", the boss of the Tiger Head Gang in "Kung Fu", and Qin Shuang in "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World".
Now, he is in the second line, and he can support the male number two or even the male number one in some TV series.
This person's acting skills are not the most prominent among the signed artists of Dawn Film and Television, but they are definitely good.
In Dawn Film and Television, it is good, so in the entire film and television industry, it is good.
Dawn Film and Television still attaches great importance to acting.
The other one is called Wu Da, an old drama bone.
This person has starred in many works of Dawn Film and Television, basically all of them are male supporting roles, and they belong to the kind of golden green leaves.
Needless to say, acting is like anything, although he didn't win any awards, his acting skills are recognized.
Before the preparation of the film, communication between actors and directors is naturally indispensable, and even between actors and actors.
"Mu Dao!"
"Mu Dao!"
Chen Kun and Wu Da were a little shocked when they saw Mu Chen.
Although there are rumors within the company that this film will be directed by Mu Chen, they do not believe it.
They have read the script and can't imagine that Mu Chen would shoot such a film.
If Mu Chen had just debuted, it might be possible to shoot such a film.
Nowadays, the films shot by Mu Chen are basically special effects blockbusters.
Making this kind of film, in the eyes of many, is a step backwards.
"Sit down, don't be so nervous. You should just shoot this film and have fun. Mu Chen said with a smile, "I still believe in the acting skills of the two of you." Those two characters are not complicated, they are just two stupid thieves. However, this stupidity needs to grasp the scale. ”
"If the scale is right, the audience will laugh because you two are unlucky. If you don't grasp it well, you may laugh, but that smile will be greatly reduced. ”
"Although this film was made for my nephew to play, my brother and sister-in-law will also make cameos in it. Mu Chen continued, "However, for the two of you, it may not be without benefits. Although I dot on my nephew, I am not enough to play with him with the reputation I have accumulated over the years. This film, I don't dare to say much else, the box office must be guaranteed. Both domestically and abroad. ”
When the two of them heard this, they were immediately stunned.
No wonder Mu Chen would make such a film, it turned out to be for his nephew to play.
However, as Mu Chen said, he would not use the reputation he had accumulated over the years to play with his nephew.
It is estimated that it is not very likely to win the award.
But the box office will definitely not be bad.
Although they don't understand it very well, the domestic box office of this film may not be bad, as for the foreign box office......
But Mu Chen said so, then it wouldn't be bad.
Mu Chen's market vision is well-known all over the world.
Even if this film is only a high domestic box office, it is extremely beneficial for Chen Kun and the others.
What's more, when this film was released, the focus of publicity was naturally Mu Chen, but in addition to Mu Chen, it must be the two of them.
His nephew probably won't be involved in the promotion of the movie.
Promoting movies is not propaganda actors.
When the actor has the highest exposure, it is when the starring movie is released.
Mu Chen and Wu Da talked about the role, and then went to see the filming location.
Everything is ready to start, and filming will start in two days.
"Mu Dao!"
"Long time no see. ”
Mu Chen smiled and looked at Zhou Liang in front of him, the person who participated in the show with him and starred in his first movie.
After so many years, Zhou Liang has maintained a good figure, but he looks a lot stronger than before.
He was born as an athlete, but after entering the entertainment industry, he has been tepid, and the brokerage company doesn't seem to be very powerful, and now he is outside the third line.
Of course, perhaps the main reason is that a burly man like him has no market in China.
"I came to you this time to let you play the role of Ronan, the villain of my new film "Guardians of the Galaxy". Mu Chen said straight to the point, "This character has a lot of roles, but because the setting is a Kree star and there is a lot of makeup, your fans may not be able to recognize you." Are you interested?"
"Yes, of course. Zhou Liang said with a smile.
can star in Mu Chen's film, which is already hard to find.
How could he be picky.
Although the makeup covers his face, he may appear in Mu Chen's film, which means great attention.
is such a blockbuster villain, not to mention that he is a star outside the third line, even if he is a second-line, or even a first-line person, there are a lot of people who are willing.
