Chapter 419: The Most Down-to-Earth Superhero
The cinematic universe created by Mu Chen is now the most valuable movie series in the world.
Even, it can't be described as a series of movies.
It's not a follow-up to the story, or a prequel, but different characters, different stories, and then come together to form a huge cinematic world.
This is undoubtedly more malleable than those series of movies.
Its value is undoubtedly incalculable.
If many film and television companies want to imitate, they have not succeeded so far.
Why do those film and television companies want to create such a film world?
Naturally, I see the value in it.
This can be seen from the box office of those superhero movies that have been released.
And the world is showing the tip of the iceberg.
If it is fully expanded, how much box office will this "series" of films have?
I'm afraid it's unimaginable.
After Mu Chen talked with Harvey and others for a while about "Avengers 2", he immediately handed the script of "Harry Potter" to Harvey.
"How?"
After a long time, Mu Chen saw Harvey put down the script and asked with a smile.
"Awesome!" Harvey said with a thumbs up, with some sighs.
If he didn't have a certain vision, how could he sit in the position of general manager of Dream Pictures for so long.
The reason why Mu Chen did not let Chen Fuhai take charge of Dream Pictures was not only because Dawn Film and Television could not do without Chen Fuhai, but also because of Harvey's own market vision and management ability.
And it turns out that Xavi is really capable.
Dream Pictures has today's development, and Mu Chen's films naturally contribute to it, but Harvey is definitely a great contributor.
"In this world, women and children have the best money. Harvey continued, "And the biggest fan base is undoubtedly young people and children. ”
The reason why superhero movies remain high at the box office is naturally loved by young fans.
And why those animated movies are also extremely good at the box office is obviously supported by children.
Children want to watch, and naturally adults will accompany them.
Of course, animated films that are too infantile are obviously not welcome.
Adults doze off when they watch, and it's useless for children to be excited.
Therefore, if animated films want to have a market, suitable for all ages, it is undoubtedly the best.
"This can be put aside for a while. Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "My nephew wants to film, so I made a comedy for him to play." Whether a child can hold up a movie, it should be able to see after the release of this film. ”
"Oh, your nephew, your brother Mu Ze's child. Harvey asked curiously.
Mu Chen nodded
"Then your brother and your sister-in-law should have cameos in there, right?" said Harvey with a smile.
Mu Chen smiled and nodded.
It's not hard to guess.
"I think there will be many fans around the world who are very curious about this film. Harvey said.
Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan are well-known celebrity couples in the world.
Even, it is difficult to find a celebrity couple who can be compared to the two of them.
I'm afraid it's just Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi.
The movie starring their son, and the two of them are still making cameos in it, and the director is still Mu Chen.
Not to mention the fans, even Harvey became extremely curious after listening to it.
Although he said "play" in the wooden window, he heard Mu Chen's confidence in this low-budget comedy.
"When is the film going to be released?" Harvey asked.
"What China is preparing for is the Spring Festival release. Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "However, foreign countries can be released first." This film is very suitable for the release of Christmas. ”
"There's plenty of time. Harvey nodded and said.
The choice of film schedule is still very important.
For example, if you choose to release a film during the Spring Festival, if fans have other choices, I am afraid that they will subconsciously list it as an alternative.
"How is Spider-Man ready?" Mu Chen then asked.
"The director hasn't been decided yet. Harvey shook his head and said, "I intend to have the Chinese director Wen Run direct." I talked to him before, and I felt that he was a good fit. Why don't you ask him to talk about it again? If you think it's good, then settle it. ”
"Wen Run?" Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered such a person.
There are not many Chinese directors in Hollywood.
Wen Run is a Chinese-American and is not very old. has made two horror thrillers before, both at the box office and word of mouth.
However, what made Mu Chen remember this director was "Fast and Furious 5" directed by him.
This film is the first big breakthrough in the "Fast and Furious" series.
In the previous few films, the global box office was only hundreds of millions of dollars at most. And "Fast and Furious 5" broke one billion at the global box office, and the Chinese box office almost broke three billion Chinese dollars.
In addition to the box office, the film has made a great breakthrough in scenes, action, and racing.
Wen Run's reputation is not obvious now, but he is indeed a capable director.
"Then ask him to talk. Mu Chen nodded and said.
In "Spider-Man", action design is actually very important. In particular, its "dangling" between high-rise buildings leaves a deep impression.
Wen Run looks like he is in his thirties, not tall, and looks a little thin.
"Mu Dao!"
"Sit down!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "Harvey recommended you to direct "Spider-Man", and I naturally want to hear some of your thoughts on this film. To be honest, I actually really want to direct this film, but there are too many things to do. The character of Spider-Man is one of my favorite superheroes. He may be more popular than Iron Man and Captain America. ”
"Iron Man is too rich, Captain America is too old, and Thor is on top. As for the Eagle Eye Black Widow, she is too far away from us, and a cultivator like the Sword Immortal Martial God is too mysterious. Wen Run said with a smile, "Only Spider-Man is close to us, and even many people can see their shadows." It's a down-to-earth character......"
Wen Run talked eloquently, which shows his love for this role.
Mu Chen listened, occasionally echoing two sentences.
Wen Yun not only talked about the idea of this character, but also talked about some ideas for the filming of this movie.
And when talking about shooting, Mu Chen opened his mouth more.
In the end, it evolved into some discussions between the two about the filming of this film.
"I have to say that you are the most suitable director of "Spider-Man". Mu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to Wen Run.
Wen Run hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake Mu Chen's hand and said, "Thank you!"
"Happy working together!"
Mu Chen smiled and said.
"Happy working together!"
The director of "Spider-Man" was confirmed, and Mu Chen also talked to him. He referred to the original version, as well as some of his own ideas, and also said it.
Mu Chen believed that his words must have had a great enlightening effect on Wen Run.
Of course, as a director with his own ideas, Wen Run will not shoot all according to Mu Chen's ideas.
He's definitely going to add something of his own.
Mu Chen naturally has no opinion on this.
This is the real director.
Just like him, even if he has the original in his head, he can always only borrow and refer to it, and will never copy it.
Otherwise, Mu Chen's directing ability would not be at the level it is today.
The director of "Spider-Man" confirmed that Mu Chen was not in a hurry to return to China.
He first went to the "Terminator" class to learn about the filming of this film.
He still attaches great importance to this series.
The film is nearing its end and will be completed soon. Naturally, it will not affect Brady's filming of "Guardians of the Galaxy".
Subsequently, Mu Chen talked to Steve about the last part of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
This series of films undoubtedly made Steve fame and fortune.
two films in a row, not only amazing at the box office, but also the most dazzling film at the Oscars in a row.
However, it is a pity that Steve regrets that although the films in this series are directed by him, it is a pity that they are still labeled as "Mu Chen".
Mu Chen's fame is too great.
Even if he is only a screenwriter's film, the director who can not be robbed of the "limelight" by him is estimated to be a world-renowned top director like Steve.
Otherwise, if the fame is small, no matter how influential the film is, what fans around the world remember is probably not the director, but the screenwriter Mu Chen.
Although it is a pity, if there is still such a movie, Steve will definitely not let it go.
It is unimaginable that a good director is obsessed with a good script.
When Mu Chenren was in Los Angeles, Marin's live-action fairy tale movie had already begun to be promoted in China.
This film with Qin Yu as the absolute protagonist naturally can't avoid her when it is promoted.
Her exposure during this period naturally gradually increased.
As for the rumors that she was hidden by Dawn Film and Television, she was naturally "self-defeating".
Mu Chen stayed in Los Angeles for nearly half a month before returning to China.
After returning to China, Mu Chen continued to be busy, and the publicity of Marin's film became more and more intense.
On Friday, April 29, the film was released.
""Qin Ling'er in Wonderland"? Why doesn't that guy Ma Lin just call it "Qin Yu in Wonderland"?"
Wang Hao said to Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi as if complaining.
"You ask him!" Mu Chen pouted.
In Mu Chen's opinion, the name of this movie is still good.
is straightforward and clear, and you will know who is the real protagonist of the film after reading the title.
The heroine played by Qin Yu is called Qin Ling'er.
But if Qin Yu's name is directly used, it is not a good thing for Qin Yu himself.
"Have you seen the film?" Jiang Qin looked at Mu Chen and asked.
Zhao Jin didn't come today, and he was still filming in Xu Wen's crew.
Wang Hao chartered the movie to watch, so naturally he would not fail to inform Jiang Qin.
Compared with Qin Yu, Jiang Qin has to play better with Mu Chen, Wang Hao and others.
"Yes. Mu Chen nodded.
Many of the blockbusters of Dawn Film and Television have been named as producers.
Even if he doesn't have a name, after the film is completed, he usually takes a look at it in advance.
"What do you think?" asked Li Ruoxi.
"The box office shouldn't be bad. Qin Yu's popularity may go further. Mu Chen said.
He is very optimistic about this film.
The film is very well done in terms of the story, the acting skills of the actors, and the post-production special effects.
Mu Chen had to admit that Marin was still very attentive to this film.
This film should make a Chinese live-action fairy tale movie an instant hit.
