Chapter 179: Empty-Handed?

Hollywood film and television companies want to buy the rights to adapt "Infernal Affairs", and the news has been confirmed.

And Dawn Film and Television will not sell it cheaply.

As soon as this news came out, the topic was hot, and the box office of "Infernal Affairs" instantly recovered, and there was another reverse growth.

In the end, the box office exceeded 1.5 billion and seemed to be no problem.

Now it's just a matter of how much.

With this news confirmed, the news that "Infernal Affairs" will make a sequel naturally spread. This caused many Infernal Affairs fans to cheer.

As for Mu Chen's new film will make a sequel to "Wolf Warrior", it has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The news that Li Ruoxi will not star in the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" still disappointed many fans.

However, why Li Ruoxi did not appear in Mu Chen's films after "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the explanation given also caused a lot of heated discussions.

I'm his heroine, but it doesn't have to be the heroine of his work.

These words have been remembered by many.

The topic of the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" is not small, but it is difficult to compare with the popularity of "Infernal Affairs".

After all, Dawn Film and Television and Jinlai Film and Television are pushing behind.

Especially when the copyright of the adaptation of "Infernal Affairs" was sold for a high price of five million US dollars, Dawn Film and Television will naturally not let go of this opportunity for hype.

As for the sequel to "Wolf Warrior", this film has not yet started, and it is not yet time for publicity and hype.

Without hype, the heat sustainability is naturally relatively similar.

Hype, you don't need to push too hard, just a little push, it's enough.

After all, the Hollywood film and television company that bought the rights to the adaptation of "Infernal Affairs" is the Fury brothers, a giant Hollywood film and television company.

Hollywood film and television giants actually bought the rights to adapt Chinese films.

This is absolutely unprecedented.

There are many classic films produced and distributed by Fury Brothers Pictures.

Such a film and television company actually bought the adaptation copyright of "Infernal Affairs". And the Chu family is five million dollars.

Five million dollars, that's more than 30 million Chinese dollars!

Does this still need the power of Dawn Film and Television? Just push it along the way.

What is the magic of Infernal Affairs?

Is this film really that good?

Many fans who hadn't seen the film, or even had seen it, immediately entered the theater.

Under such a hot topic, this year's Spring Festival films, on top of staying power, "Infernal Affairs" suddenly has a feeling of being unbeatable.

"Infernal Affairs" is still in theaters, but this year's Golden Dragon Award ceremony was held immediately.

Mu Chen won four nominations for "Wolf Warrior", although he himself is not optimistic, but he can't not attend because of his small chance of winning the award, right?

At the Golden Dragon Award ceremony, Mu Chen and Mu Ze brothers appeared on the red carpet, attracting the attention of all the media on the side, and also causing the surrounding fans to scream.

Mu Chen's popularity is high, and Mu Ze is not far behind.

Mu Ze came on leave this time. He and Mu Chen were both invited to be the guests of honor.

This time, Mu Chen did not walk the red carpet with Li Ruoxi.

On the red carpet, it is generally the script that decides who will walk the red carpet.

Li Ruoxi is with the crew of "White Fox".

And she was also nominated for Best Actress for the film "White Fox".

Mu Chen has naturally seen the film "White Fox", and Li Ruoxi's performance in it is also excellent.

However, in terms of popularity, it is a little lower than the other nominated actors.

This is still under the condition that Li Ruoxi's popularity is higher than theirs.

Therefore, Mu Chen felt that Li Ruoxi wanted to win the award, but the only way to do it was to be upset.

And Mu Chen was also nominated for the Best Film Song Award for the theme song of this film.

Mu Chen really doesn't care much about this award.

songs, he didn't pay attention to them at all, and naturally paid more attention to the awards that he had spent countless amounts of effort on.

For example, the Best Director Award.

If you put your heart into the awards, you will undoubtedly have a sense of achievement.

"Mu Dao received four nominations, no, five nominations. How many prizes do you think you can win today?" the host of the outfield changed, but the questions he seemed to like to ask were not changed.

"Five?" Mu Ze looked at the two of them with some confusion.

He is well aware that "Wolf Warrior" has only received four nominations. The four nominations are all considered to be Mu Chen's.

Ruoxi's film's theme song was also nominated. Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Oh. The corners of Mu Ze's mouth twitched.

Best Film and Television Song of the Golden Phoenix Award, Best Film Song of the Golden Dragon Award, Mu Chen seems to be a frequent visitor!

"I don't think it's useful!" Mu Chen smiled when he saw the host.

"Director Mu, can you change the answer?" the host was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

It's boring to answer like this every time!

"Then you have to change the question!" Mu Chen smiled and said.

If you change the question, the answer will naturally change.

"If I ask you how many prizes you want to win, you won't answer as many as possible," the host said with a smile.

"Wit!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Then I wish Director Mu what he wanted. The host laughed.

Mu Chen also smiled, and then left his signature with Mu Ze and walked into the venue.

The crew of "Wolf Warrior" walked the red carpet to the front, and there were not many people in the venue.

"Director Mu!" Zhang Gang smiled and beckoned to Mu Chen.

"Director Zhang!"

Mu Chen and Mu Ze walked over and greeted them with a smile.

Mu Ze has filmed Zhang Gang's play, although it is a supporting role, but the role is quite heavy, and the role is also more brilliant.

It's just that the movie hasn't been released yet.

It's expected to be summer.

Zhang Gang's works are basically not Spring Festival files, but summer files.

"I remember Mu Ze, weren't you filming Lao Feng's play?" Zhang Gang looked at Mu Ze and said with a smile.

The old Feng name in his mouth, Feng Zhaohui, is a domestic first-line director.

is the director of the movie that Mu Ze is shooting now.

"Took a leave of absence. Mu Ze said, "I didn't come last year, but I came to see it this year." ”

Zhang Gang nodded and smiled.

There may be a look, but I'm afraid it's more to save face for the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee.

Not once, it's completely understandable.

can contact twice and do not come, even if it is excusable, it will inevitably make a bad impression.

In the circle, the face of the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee still has to be given.

After all, the Golden Dragon Award is about people.

People have feelings, emotions.

When the two are equally competitive, one gives you face and the other does not give you face.

Who will you choose?

"When is Director Mu free, how about we cooperate?" Zhang Gang looked at Mu Chen and said with a smile.

"How to cooperate?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

Zhang Gangnai is the director with the most box office appeal in China, and he has a certain box office appeal in the world. If he can cooperate with him, Mu Chen naturally doesn't mind.

"You write and I direct, and you can also be the producer. Zhang Gang looked at Mu Chen and said, "The two companies produce it together." ”

"What type?" Mu Chen asked.

Zhang Gang proposed cooperation, which obviously took a fancy to Mu Chen's screenwriting ability.

Mu Chen's screenwriting ability has been proven with countless works.

Whether it is a TV series or a movie, Mu Chen's ability to write a screenplay is amazing enough.

A director like Zhang Gang, who stands at the top of the entertainment industry, naturally knows the importance of the script.

Of course, there are many excellent screenwriters in the circle. What made Zhang Gang's mind go was nothing more than that the adaptation copyright of "Infernal Affairs" was bought by Hollywood.

What type?

When Zhang Gang heard this, he was stunned, and then said, "You decide!"

What type is Mu Chen good at?

"Jingwumen" kung fu drama, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" martial arts drama, "Bright Sword" anti-Japanese drama...... "Infernal Affairs" police and bandit drama.

Mu Chen's screenwriter does not seem to be bound by the genre of the film.

And what about Zhang Gang?

Obviously, too. He started out making art films, and then switched to commercial films, all of which were extremely successful.

Historical films, war films, action films, magic films......

Zhang Gang has a lot of works, it seems that he has tried every genre, and his reputation is not bad.

"Then when the script comes out, we'll talk about it. Mu Chen said.

"Okay!" Zhang Gang nodded and said with a smile.

He just said that, and didn't expect Mu Chen to agree. After all, Mu Chen's own directing ability is amazing.

He didn't expect Mu Chen to agree so readily.

He is still looking forward to Mu Chen's script.

When they had intentions about cooperation, they stopped talking nonsense, and the two immediately chatted and talked more about the movie.

Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years.

This may be an exaggeration, but Zhang Gang did answer some of the doubts that had been bothering him for a long time in Mu Chen's heart.

"Next year, your "Infernal Affairs" will definitely shine. Zhang Gang said with a smile.

He took the time to watch that movie and was impressed.

"Monster Hunter" lost to "Infernal Affairs", and he didn't feel wronged.

Although "Monster Hunter" is somewhat aimed at foreign markets, the copyright of the adaptation of "Infernal Affairs" has directly sold tens of millions.

If the foreign box office of "Monster Hunter" is not amazing, it will also lose.

Will the foreign box office be amazing?

Zhang Gang is clearly not confident.

True success should be both internal and external.

"This year is probably going through the motions. Mu Chen smiled and said.

"Not necessarily. Zhang Gang said with a smile.

However, he actually agreed with Mu Chen's words.

He is also not optimistic about "Wolf Warrior".

It's not that "Wolf Warrior" is bad, and if it can be nominated, it's a good movie.

It's just that this kind of film itself is not very popular with the Golden Dragon Awards, and the competitors are strong.

More and more people entered the venue, and the people next to Mu Chen and Zhang Gang also gathered more and more, although many times it was Mu Chen and Zhang Gang who talked about it, and few people were able to interject, but there were still many people around.

Zhang Gangnai is a great director who has been famous for many years, and Mu Chen has also proven his ability, not to mention that he is still so young and has amazing potential.

The entertainment industry is the place where fame and fortune are most chased.

Whether it is Zhang Gang or Mu Chen, they are naturally held.

The red carpet is over, the awards are about to begin, and everyone is seated.

However, Mu Chen and Mu Ze didn't sit for long, and got up and went backstage.

The awards presented by both of them are at the top.

Best Soundtrack, a lot of times in the previous few awards.

Mu Chen and Mu Ze appeared in the same frame a lot, although the two were somewhat similar in appearance, they could still be recognized at a glance.

"Best Soundtrack!" Mu Ze looked at Mu Chen with a smile and said, "Why didn't you nominate this year?"

Best soundtrack, Mu Chen nominated a lot.

The soundtrack of "Wolf Warrior" is actually quite good.

"The four nominated filmmakers are too good!" Mu Chen smiled and said.

"Then let's see, ...... of them nominated for the Best Soundtrack Award this year," Mu Ze smiled and said.

On the big screen, the part of the wonderful soundtrack of the nominated film appears.

Then there was a live scene of the four nominees.

All four are veteran filmmakers, but for many fans, they are very unfamiliar.

Fans are familiar with the people in front of the scenes.

Not to mention the soundtrack, I'm afraid there are only a few directors who can overwhelm the actors.

"I'll see who gets the best soundtrack this year?" Mu Chen opened the envelope, looked at it, and then handed it to Mu Ze, and said, "It's better for you to announce it!

"You're going to have to lose. Mu Ze smiled and said, "The best soundtrack is: "Ice Sea", Gu Hai! Congratulations!"

"Bang Bang!"

Applause rang out, and a man in his forties and fifties walked onto the podium and took the trophy from Mu Chen's hand.

His face was calm and not emotional.

Perhaps, this is not the first time he has won an award, and he has experienced a hundred battles.

Perhaps, he is past the age when he lost control of his emotions for a trophy, and he has taken a lot of pees.

Gu Hai's acceptance speech was very short, with only two words: thank you!

Return from the stage and sit down, and after an award, the award for best screenplay is awarded.

This is also the award nominated by Mu Chen.

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is: "Mother" Qian Haixin, congratulations!"

On the big screen, Mu Chen still kept smiling.

Failing to win the award, although he was a little disappointed, was not unexpected.

What's more, such an award will not make his frustration hang on his face.

Mu Chen's expression was still the same, while the other two nominees were not so calm. Although they were still smiling and applauding, it was clear at a glance that their smiles were reluctant.

Qian Haixin came to the stage, Mu Chen was a little surprised, a beautiful girl who was not very old.

At this time, Mu Chen remembered some reports about this movie.

"Mother" is a literary film adapted from Qian Haixin's name of the same name, which is said to be a tear gas and a box office dark horse.

Of course, as a low-cost literary film, no matter how dark it is, it can't be high.

Qian Haixin himself is also a talented young writer.

The reputation of this film is still good.

In addition to being nominated for Best Screenplay, it was also nominated for Best Song, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture.

The nominations are impressive.

Among them, the call for Best Actress is high.

The Best Screenplay is followed by the award for Best Movie Song.

"The winner of the Best Movie Song Award is: "White Fox" Mu Chen! Congratulations to Director Mu!"

"I am a fox ...... who has practiced for thousands of years"

The song sounded, leaving many viewers in a state of reminiscence.

Mu Chen got up and walked towards the podium.

"Thank you!"

Mu Chen looked at the audience and said, "Thank you for the jury's affirmation of this song." Thank you to Ning Yang, the director of "White Fox", and thank you to Li Ruoxi, the singer of this song!"

As soon as Mu Chen's words of thanking Li Ruoxi came out, everyone in the audience smiled.

"After winning this award, I finally don't have to worry about returning empty-handed for this year's Golden Dragon Award. Thank you!"

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he got off the podium.

The truth was as Mu Chen expected.

Then the best action design was taken by an action movie.

"Wolf Warrior" missed the chance, and in the eyes of many people, it was a bit of an upset. "Wolf Warrior" won this award, and the demand is still very high.

Li Ruoxi also missed out on Best Actress, which was won by the actor of the deaf mother in the film "Mother".

Although Mu Chen only watched a few clips from the big screen, he also saw that the actor deserved this award.

Li Ruoxi lost unjustly.

Best Director, Mu Chen played soy sauce again.

Best Picture, "Wolf Warrior" also failed to win.

"Wolf Warrior" was nominated for four awards, but did not win any awards. If it weren't for "White Fox" winning the best movie song, this time I would really have to go home empty-handed.

Although it had been expected, Mu Chen's smile in the end was still a little more far-fetched.
