Chapter 409: Motivation is Motivation When There Is Pressure

Mu Chen has never been worried about what to shoot in the next film, even if he doesn't make the classic films from another world in his mind now. He still has endless scenes.

The Chinese superhero world he built gradually took shape and integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which was gradually recognized by fans around the world.

Well, there are too many films in this movie world for him to shoot.

Marlin is different.

He started shooting the script given by Mu Chen, although he didn't have the original film as a reference, but he got too many suggestions about the film from Mu Chen.

The film he made may not be the same as the original, and even the treatment is much better than the original in some places.

But that's not his own idea.

Since his debut, he has rarely had his own ideas. Or rather, he was not given time to have his own thoughts at all.

The only time I'm afraid it was "People in Embarrassment", but after Mu Chen's change, it was very different from his own ideas.

Mu Chen didn't know if he hit Marin that time.

Thinking about it at this time, Mu Chen regretted helping Ma Lin revise the script.

Marin's directing ability is undoubted, but he lacks a self-definition and imagination.

He can make a good story, but he can't create a story.

This is undoubtedly where he is lacking.

"You can wait for your film to come out and see how it reacts. Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "If the response is good, you can consider this aspect." ”

"To be honest, I don't have much confidence in this film. Marin shook his head and said, "Or rather, I'm not good at this kind of film." ”

"Then what type of films do you think you are good at?" Mu Chen asked.

Marin was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

He also doesn't know what type of film he's good at.

He recalled that the films he shot seemed to be mostly comedy. Even "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu" actually have a strong comedy style.

"Then what type of movies do you like?" Mu Chen then asked.

Marin was silent for a long time, still shaking his head.

"You think about these things first, and then you think about what to shoot next!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "If you really don't know what to film, you can talk to the company's screenwriting team, maybe there will be unexpected gains." If you really can't do it, you can also run and take a look. ”

"It's too difficult to adapt the web. Marin shook his head and said, "If it is an adaptation of a TV series, maybe the deletion will not be too serious, but if it is an adaptation of a movie, there will be a lot of deletions and changes, and then it will inevitably be scolded by the original party." ”

Ma Lin had the idea of the Internet before, and even produced countless "novelty" brain holes for this, but it was completely destroyed by Mu Chen.

"A lot of online adaptations are really difficult. Mu Chen nodded and said, "However, not all of them are like this. What's more, I'm not asking you to adapt the Internet, just for you to get some inspiration from the Internet. ”

Marin nodded.

Mu Chen occasionally looks at the Internet, whether it is in his past life or in this life.

However, he has only tasted it and has not finished reading any of the Internet.

I have to say that the network is too long.

Although he has not watched all the Internet, he has watched a lot of film and television works adapted from the Internet in his previous life.

Among them, some were scolded, but some were well received, and of course more controversial.

"I heard that there are many foreign films participating in this year's Golden Dragon Awards. Marin said.

After chatting about the new film, let's talk about other things casually.

"Isn't this normal?" Mu Chen said with a smile, "The movies that showed their faces at the Golden Dragon Awards last year have achieved good box office results in China, making the filmmakers make a lot of money, and more movies have participated this year." ”

Those people are not necessarily interested in the honor of the Golden Dragon Award, but in the benefits brought by this honor.

They fancy the Chinese film market.

"You shouldn't be going home empty-handed this year, are you?" said Marin with a smile.

Mu Chen returned empty-handed at the Golden Dragon Award last year, but then won the Oscar for Best Screenplay.

He still wins every year.

"The weakness of "Sword Fairy" in terms of awards is too obvious. Mu Chen shook his head and said, ""Chasing Deer" is estimated to have a good performance. ”

"Chasing the Deer" and "Sword Fairy" have a good reputation, but both films are commercial.

Relatively speaking, "Sword Fairy" is more "popcorn".

The film doesn't put much into the film.

"Chasing the Deer" is different, the whole film is full of the belief that "man will conquer the sky", as well as the discussion of "war" and "peace".

This film is a little more core than "Sword Fairy".

Naturally, it has a lot of advantages over "Sword Immortal" in terms of awards.

"After winning too many awards, do you really lose interest in them?" Marin asked.

He could see that Mu Chen had lost his desire for those awards.

He looked at it even more lightly.

When Mu Chen heard this, he smiled.

It's not that he has lost interest in awards, but that his vision has improved and he knows whether his film's chances of winning the award are big or small.

Of course, the main thing is that those awards have no role in promoting Mu Chen.

What's more, in his opinion, creating an unprecedented film world is far more glorious than winning certain awards.

Those awards may be remembered by fans for a while, but creating an unprecedented world of cinema can make fans remember it for a lifetime.

Mu Chen is not interested in awards, but is more interested in other things.

"Sword Fairy" is Mu Chen's first original film, and he naturally hopes to succeed.

However, is it a success to win an award?

Apparently not.

"Sword Fairy" doesn't win the award, this film is already a success.

"The gold content of the Golden Dragon Awards is getting bigger and bigger, and domestic filmmakers are feeling a pressure, maybe you don't feel anything. Marin said with some sighs.

The Golden Dragon Award is becoming more and more international, more and more competitive, and the greater the gold content.

Domestic filmmakers feel the pressure, and they are naturally afraid that the Golden Dragon Awards will be rounded up by foreign filmmakers.

If this is the case, then the faces of Chinese filmmakers are a little ugly.

As for Mu Chen?

is now a globally recognized international director, and it can be said that he has completely jumped out of the major awards.

He doesn't need awards to prove himself anymore.

It is natural to be shortlisted for the award and to win the award. If he doesn't win an award, no one will think that he is inferior to the person who won the award.

Even, he is not nominated, and no one will think that he will be inferior to those who do.

If any award-winning director says that he is better than Mu Chenniu, it is estimated that he will be sprayed with doubts about his life immediately.

"There's pressure to be motivated. Mu Chen smiled and said.

It is not a good thing to make domestic filmmakers feel pressure.

Marin pouted.

He felt that Mu Chen was a little standing and talking, and his back hurt.

Since his debut, the works he has filmed have a high reputation, high ratings for TV series, and high box office for movies.

I also won a lot of awards, but compared to Mu Chen, I am nothing.

He doesn't have the confidence of Mu Chen.

If the Golden Dragon Awards are swept by foreign filmmakers one day, Mu Chen will definitely not be among the people who are scolded, but one of those people who will definitely bear the brunt of Marin.

The first to be scolded is naturally a domestic first-line director.

Ma Lin is now naturally a domestic first-line director.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the film promotion of the Spring Festival file has entered a white-hot stage.

Among them, Yu Yun's "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" is naturally the most popular.

In addition to the size of the publicity investment and the advantages and disadvantages of the publicity and distribution team, this film has a great advantage over other films, that is, the IP of "Journey to the West" is big enough.

"Journey to the West" is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not a household name in China, but there are probably not many people who don't know.

It has been at the top of the bestseller list for a long time, and it has become the highest-selling book in recent years, and no one has shaken it.

The TV ratings are high and the influence is so great that it can be called invincible.

This TV series has now become a TV series that will inevitably be rebroadcast in the summer, and the ratings are not low.

And cartoons are even more so, definitely the most popular cartoons.

Journey to the West peripheral products such as dolls can be seen everywhere.

With such a big IP, it is naturally unimaginable how much attention there is.

What's more, "Havoc in Heaven" is still the most exciting plot in "Journey to the West".

In this world, the copyright of "Journey to the West" is in Mu Chen's hands, so naturally there will be no flood of related works like in the previous life.

Except for a TV series, as well as a cartoon, there are no related film and television works.

Therefore, "Havoc in Heaven" is naturally highly anticipated by "Journey to the West fans".

Mu Chen did not participate in the promotion of this film, but as the author of "Journey to the West", Mu Chen was naturally used for publicity.

What's more, he himself has the title of "producer".

The Spring Festival is approaching, and Mu Ze's family and Mu Chen's family returned to their hometown a lot of time in advance.

This habit of the two Muchen brothers has long been well known.

At this time of year, the number of tourists visiting Muchen's hometown has increased a lot.

I have to say that many people went to Muchen for them.

Mu Chen and others meet many fans every year.

However, those fans are very sensible, and there is no situation of besieging Mu Chen's hometown.

"Second uncle, I also want to film, and I also want to be the protagonist!"

As soon as Mu Chen finished practicing boxing, Mu Qing rushed over and looked at him expectantly.

"Your second uncle can't be the master of this matter, you have to ask your parents, and they have to agree first. ”

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then hugged Mu Qing and said with a smile.

Mu Qing is now starting to practice boxing with Mu Ze.

This little guy is smart, interested in kung fu, and must endure hardships, and his kung fu practice is already good.

"Do you know how to act, let's talk about it when you grow up. ”

Mu Ze walked over and said with a smile.

He actually didn't want Mu Qing to enter the entertainment industry.

"Ambition is not about age, and acting skills are not measured by age. Mu Qing pouted and said, full of unconvinced.

"Haha!"

Mu Chen heard this, but he smiled.

Mu Ze also smiled and shook his head.
