"How?"

Liu Guohua did not answer a rhetorical question.

This has nothing to do with politeness, but Liu Guohua wants to know Mu Chen's opinion on this script.

"Good. Mu Chen said, "However, if this film is to be made, the investment is probably not small, and the risk is not small." It may be okay at home, but it's hard to say abroad. ”

"That's it!" Liu Guohua nodded.

After he got the script, he had the same opinion as Mu Chen.

He came, in fact, in addition to listening to Mu Chen's opinions on this drama, he also invested in La.

"You can't write this script, right?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"How could it be. Liu Guohua said, "If I had this ability, my company would not have gone bankrupt at the beginning." ”

Liu Guohua opened a film and television company, but it didn't last long before it went out of business.

He was also unlucky, and he encountered the most depressed time in the film and television industry.

"It's written by a director who is a newcomer. Liu Guohua said, "Haven't I supported some new Chinese directors over the years? However, this film may not be enough to smash my net worth into it!"

The net worth is not enough, which is a bit humble.

Liu Guohua's net worth is not much, but it is estimated that there are still billions. Even if he was bankrupt or even in arrears.

What's more, his wife is also from a wealthy family and is good at investing.

However, to support new directors, you can't expect people to invest hundreds of millions, billions, and smash their net worth into it.

"Is it a rookie director?" Mu Chen looked at Liu Guohua.

"This script came from a director, named Feng Yi, who had made an online movie "Chang'an" before, and the film had a good reputation. Liu Guohua said, "However, after all, it is an online movie, and the production is inevitably a little rough." ”

The investment in online movies is generally not too large, and the production is naturally rougher than the films released.

Liu Guohua said this, which is nothing more than a reminder to Mu Chen that Feng Yi's level of directing is there, but he has no bottom in his heart whether he can control such a super-large production as "Chasing Deer".

"In fact, there are many directors who make online movies who are not incapable, but they are limited by funds. Mu Chen nodded and said, "What do you mean by bringing this script?"

I asked this knowingly.

"This film has been invested too much, and I can't support it with all my wealth. But the investment is small, or it is a pity to put it on the shelf. Therefore, let me let you see if Dawn Film and Television is interested in investing. Liu Guohua said with a smile.

In China, Dawn Film and Television is definitely the most wealthy film and television company.

is richer than those listed film and television companies.

"I called Lao Chen over and asked him to take a look first. Mu Chen thought about it, didn't refuse, didn't agree, and then said, "You call that Feng Yi too, I want to talk to him first." ”

"Okay!" Liu Guohua nodded.

The investment in this film is large, and Mu Chen must also be cautious.

He just took a preliminary look at the script, but he also saw that if this film wants to make it well, it will definitely not work without an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

With an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is a film with Chinese characteristics, there is naturally a lot of risk at the foreign box office.

Of course, in Mu Chen's view, the biggest risk is not in the film itself.

Personally, he is very optimistic about this script.

However, if the script is good, the movie must be good?

Therefore, in Mu Chen's view, the risk of this film lies in whether the director can make this film well.

Thankfully, the screenwriter is the director.

It's a pity that the director has never shot a blockbuster, and it is doubtful whether he can control it.

This is the reason why Mu Chen wants to talk to Feng Yi first.

Chen Fuhai came over quickly.

The management team of Dawn Film and Television has long been mature, and Chen Fuhai, as the general manager, is usually not busy.

Chen Fuhai also has an extremely unique vision of the film market.

"Very nice. After reading the script, Chen Fuhai said, "There should be no problem with the domestic box office, but as for the foreign market, I am not sure." ”

Chen Fuhai said and looked at Mu Chen.

Domestic filmmakers, the most internationally minded, is undoubtedly Mu Chen.

"If you shoot well, in fact, you may not be able to recover the cost in China. Mu Chen said, "As for foreign countries, you don't have to be too deliberate." ”

Listening to Mu Chen's meaning, Chen Fuhai naturally heard that he was not too sure about the foreign market of this movie.

However, he also heard that Mu Chen was biased towards investing in this film.

"Cast this film, I naturally have no opinion. Chen Fuhai said, "Who directs?"

"Still on the way. Liu Guohua said, "It is estimated that it will arrive soon." ”

Feng Yi is about thirty years old, and he is younger than Mu Chen.

Among the directors, he is definitely young.

"Sit down for a while and drink some water. ”

Mu Chen said with a smile.

That Feng Yi was sweating profusely, and his breathing was still a little short, obviously in a hurry.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Feng Yi hurriedly said.

He was nervous at this point.

Just kidding, can you not be nervous?

There are three people in the office, which is not a well-known figure in the circle.

Liu Guohua is okay, he has had contact before. But who are the other two, one is an internationally renowned director, and the other is the CEO of a top film and television company.

He knew that Liu Guohua came to Dawn Film and Television with the script to attract investment, but he didn't expect Mu Chen to talk to him immediately.

Talking to Mu Chen about movies?

This is probably the dream of countless directors.

Mu Chen is now the world's top director, and talking to him about movies will definitely benefit him a lot.

Feng Yi has been preparing for "Chasing the Deer" for many years, but after all, he does not have his own team, and many designs are still a little imperfect.

However, when it came to the idea of this film, he talked endlessly with Mu Chen.

Mu Chen just listened at first, but then put forward a lot of his own opinions and suggestions, and finally even involved the filming matters.

"Director Mu, if you shoot like this, I'm afraid this film won't be able to be made for a billion yuan. Feng Yi said.

Mu Chen's suggestions, he was very moved, and he was also a little weak-hearted.

Money is one aspect, and another aspect is that the scene is too big, and he is afraid that he will not be able to control it.

"Money is not an issue. Chen Fuhai said with a smile.

Just because he didn't participate in the discussion doesn't mean he doesn't understand.

"If you have any questions, you might as well talk about them. Mu Chen seemed to see some of Feng Yi's entanglements, and then said.

"I've only made one online movie before, and the investment is only a few million. Feng Yi said, "Suddenly making a film with an investment of more than one billion, the scene is too big, I'm afraid I can't control it." The main thing is that I don't have much experience with 3D filmmaking. ”

When Mu Chen heard this, the doubt in his heart suddenly dissipated.

This Feng Yi is not a person who talks about it, and he has a deep understanding of himself.

He knows what he is good at and what he lacks.

If it is those who obviously can't do it, but they think they are very good, Mu Chen has to be cautious.

"Otherwise, let's do some simple preliminary preparations for this film. Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "My new film is estimated to start filming at the end of September." If you don't dislike it, come to me as an assistant director of the film crew and familiarize yourself with the shooting of 3D films?"

"Really?" Feng Yi said excitedly when he heard this.

Mu Chen's assistant director is not something that ordinary people can do.

Of course, the reason why he was excited was that he felt that he could learn a lot from Muchen's crew.

In this world, the best director for 3D film shooting is none other than Mu Chen.

Go to the crew of Muchen's new film to familiarize yourself with 3D film shooting, what is the difference between that and Muchenxue?

"This young man is good, and when the older generation of filmmakers retires, he may be able to become the backbone of Chinese films in the future, or even the leader. ”

Feng Yi and Liu Guohua left, and Mu Chen said to Chen Fuhai with a smile.

"It's like you're old. Chen Fuhai said with a smile.

Mu Chen is not much bigger than that Feng Yi, but he debuted and became famous early, and the two are not directors of the same generation.

However, Mu Chen has been practicing martial arts all year round, and when Feng Yi can't move, Mu Chen is probably still old and strong.

Chinese movies, Mu Chen can last at least 30 years.

Of course, Chen Fuhai agrees with Mu Chen's evaluation of Feng Yi.

It's just a pity that that person is from Liu Guohua's studio, so I'm embarrassed to dig it!

At the end of August, "Kung Fu Panda", which had been in theaters for more than a month, gradually fell around the world.

The box office in China exceeded 3 billion, while the box office in North America exceeded 300 million US dollars, and the total global box office exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

Although it is not the highest-grossing animated film in the world, it is definitely the most animated film in China.

Before this, Chinese-language animated films, let alone a billion-dollar box office, had no billions of Chinese dollars.

"Kung Fu Panda" is a global hit, which undoubtedly drives the development of Chinese animated films.

Not to mention the foreign box office, the domestic box office alone can make other film and television companies work animated films.

And "Fast and Furious" landed in the mainland, and the box office response was better than expected.

However, the highlight of Dawn Film and Television is not this film, but "The Day After Tomorrow" directed by Xu Wen and starring Liu Guohua and Wang Yi, a disaster film with a huge investment.

This film, scheduled for the National Day, has gradually begun to be promoted.

At the end of September, "Iron Man" gradually fell around the world, with a domestic box office of nearly 3 billion, which is not as good as "Kung Fu Panda". However, the foreign box office is much higher than that at home.

The North American box office exceeded $400 million, and the global box office was nearly $1.3 billion.

It's more than double the original.

Of course, it has to do with prices, markets, inflation, and the popularity of 3D, and so on.

Not to mention anything else, the Chinese box office is equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars.

And "Fast and Furious", which was released less than a month ago, has similar box office potential in China.

The box office has exceeded 500 million, which is still extremely good.

It is estimated that in a few days, after the release of films such as "The Day After Tomorrow" and other films on the National Day, they will be painted.

"When are you leaving?"

Mu Chen looked at Li Ruoxi.

She's busy with schedules. This drama is finished, and the next drama is estimated to be launched.

"Able to rest for a few days. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

"That's just right. Mu Chen smiled and said, "Director Xu's "The Day After Tomorrow" will be screened tomorrow, and he invited many people in the circle to watch the movie, you go with me." ”

"Hmm!" Li Ruoxi nodded and said, "When are you going to start your "Transformers"?"

"It's mid-October!" Mu Chen said, "I expect to finish filming before the Chinese New Year." ”
