Time is spent in the midst of busyness.

New Year's Day is approaching, and the films released on New Year's Day have begun to be frantically promoted.

This year's Spring Festival is at the end of January, and the films released during the Spring Festival have naturally begun to be overwhelmingly promoted.

Although Marin's "People in Embarrassment" is not as invested as those blockbusters, its momentum is not much lower.

And when promoting this film, it is naturally indispensable to play Mu Chen's gimmick.

Written by Ma Lin, revised and supervised by Mu Chen.

This film still attracts the attention of many fans.

Although, Mu Chen's sci-fi film has not moved so far, which makes many fans itchy and unbearable, they can only watch Ma Lin, a film related to Mu Chen, to comfort and comfort.

In fact, through the "Crazy" series of movies, Marin already has a lot of box office appeal.

What's more, perhaps because of the relationship between Mu Chen, Zhao Jin, Wang Hao and others, Ma Lin, the director, is also very well-known.

Most directors are unknown, but there are also many directors who are not as well-known as those A-list stars.

Especially after Mu Chen became famous, fans have paid more and more attention to the director.

Just after New Year's Day, the later stage of "Avatar" was finally completed.

This is the longest film in Mu Chen, and it is completely completed.

Mu Chen felt that the nerves in his body suddenly became much easier.

"Your post-production is finished?" Li Ruoxi said with a smile when she saw Mu Chen's expression.

"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded and said, "It's about the same time as expected." However, there is still a lot to be done before the release of this film. ”

What else is going on, Li Ruoxi naturally knows.

Today, the cinema chain of Dawn Film and Television and the cinema 3D theater of Wansheng Group have basically been completed.

However, this is clearly not enough!

This film only relies on these two domestic theater lines, which is obviously far from Mu Chen's goal.

Li Ruoxi knows very well that Mu Chen wants to use this movie to completely change the viewing habits of fans around the world, making 3D movies popular all over the world and becoming one of the most common formats of movies.

"Will you be filming next year?" Mu Chen glanced at Mu Xue, who was sleeping not far away, and asked.

"After the release of "Avatar", are you going to go to the United States?" asked Li Ruoxi.

"Will stay for a while. Mu Chen nodded and said, "Over there, I've already asked people to buy a good villa, and you can go with me then?"

"Hmm!" Li Ruoxi nodded.

"If you want to film, why don't we make a film at the beginning of the year?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"We?" Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen, but smiled.

"A low-budget romance film. Mu Chen smiled and said, "You wait." ”

Mu Chen said, then went to the study, took a printed script, and handed it to Li Ruoxi.

"When did you write it?" Li Ruoxi was stunned for a moment.

Li Ruoxi is at home and often goes to the study.

She actually knows what script Mu Chen wrote. Even if Mu Chen has not fully conceived a mature movie universe, Li Ruoxi knows it.

She has even read the scripts of the previous ones.

"Just these days. Mu Chen said with a smile, "I feel that you are addicted to drama, but you may not be willing to shoot films like "Tomb Raider" now." Therefore, I wrote such a low-cost film that didn't need to be filmed everywhere. ”

"Tomb Raider" is one of the films prepared by Mu Chen for Li Ruoxi. In fact, there is also the "Resident Evil" series, but Li Ruoxi gave it to Su Xiaowan.

If it is "Tomb Raider", it is estimated that you have to go to many places to shoot.

The child is still young, and Li Ruoxi is definitely unwilling.

Filming is possible, but you can't go too far, and the filming time can't be too long.

Mu Chen understands Li Ruoxi.

"When you make this film, you can bring your children with you. Mu Chen said with a smile.

"I'll take a look first. Li Ruoxi immediately took the script and read it.

"The Love of People and Ghosts"?

Is this a romance movie, or a ghost movie?

In this film, the story is not complicated.

Mu Chen hasn't made many changes, and even the background is still in the United States.

It's just that the hero and heroine have been replaced by Chinese actors.

Sam, a young bank clerk, and his fiancée, Milie, fall in love with each other. And when she returned from a play, Sam was robbed by gangsters and shot to death, and Meili was grief-stricken.

Sam becomes a ghost who discovers that his friend Carl was behind his death. In order to steal a huge amount of money from the bank, he wants to obtain the password that Sam has in his possession, and he pursues Milie.

Gradually, Sam learns how to use power.

He often wanders around Molly, protecting her at all times, but he can't communicate.

In order to stop Carl, he finds a psychic medium, Otta, who can communicate with the ghosts, and uses her to get in touch with Molly.

At first, Molly didn't believe it. But the truth finally made her feel Sam's presence. However, two people who love each other deeply cannot directly contact and communicate......

From the perspective of story structure, "The Love of People and Ghosts" tells just an ordinary love story of life and death, but it can be ingenious and set the development of the story in a unique marginal area: between the yin and yang worlds.

So this has become a ghost movie and a fantasy film. The heroes and heroines love each other bitterly, but in the end, they can't see each other because of the strangeness of yin and yang.

The film uses ghosts and ghosts to produce a series of suspense and twists and turns of the plot, which can immerse the audience in fantasy and reality, sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, sometimes inspired by justice, and finally moved by the protagonist's unswerving love.

This film is obviously different from common romance films.

"Can this film be released in China?"

After a long time, Li Ruoxi put down the script and looked at Mu Chen.

She undoubtedly liked this script very much. However, in domestic films, once there is such a thing as a "ghost", it is basically difficult to pass the review.

This may also be why domestic horror films, even if there are ghosts, are basically "spiritual fantasy" or "a dream" in the end.

It is difficult for domestic horror films to produce classics, and many fans have dumped this pot on the relevant departments.

Although it is somewhat biased, it is not without this factor.

However, horror films do not have much market in China.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Mu Chen said, "The upper side has relaxed a lot in this regard. What's more, my film is set in the United States. It's really not good, just add a paragraph in the domestic version, so that the whole story becomes a person's fantasy, or a dream of someone. ”

"If you can pass the trial, it will be good. If you can't pass it, add such a paragraph, and it will inevitably add some snakes. Li Ruoxi sighed.

"What's the solution, that's the way it is. Mu Chen shook his head, also a little helpless.

However, he felt that it was not unlikely.

It's really not good, first release it abroad, the influence comes out, and then talk to the above.

This film, the original version was popular all over the world in that time and space, and the box office reputation was a bumper harvest.

In the early 90s, how big was the film market at that time?

It's hard to compare with today, anyway.

At that time, the film won $500 million at the box office.

And what about today?

Coupled with inflation, the development of the film market and other factors, how much can the box office of this film reach?

Not to mention how much it reaches, there is an original box office, which is also extremely good.

What's more, this film has also been nominated for multiple Oscars.

Among them, in addition to the female supporting actress who has a great play in acting skills, the female protagonist also has it. The emotional performance of the original heroine made the audience intoxicated and affectionate, and naturally left an extremely deep impression on the audience.

The role of this film for Li Ruoxi is not necessarily as good as "Tomb Raider".

Perhaps, the effect is better.

"Avatar" has been produced, but it will not be released until next summer.

For half a year, Mu Chen filmed "The Love of People and Ghosts", which was naturally no problem at all.

However, before that, Mu Chen had to go to the United States first.

In the film, there are still some roles that need to be decided in advance.

Especially the supporting actress Black Psychic Otta, this role is undoubtedly crucial to the role of the whole film.

Mu Chen needs a suitable actor with excellent acting skills.

Actors with excellent acting skills, if they don't figure out the role in advance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect.

Of course, actors with excellent acting skills may not be suitable for this role.

"When will you watch the movie?" Li Ruoxi then asked.

She is naturally extremely interested in Mu Chen's film, and naturally wants to see it.

"Already in contact. Mu Chen said, "It is estimated that it will only be a few days." ”

Mu Chen, the 3D film with the largest investment, has naturally attracted global attention.

Those film companies and theater owners will naturally not refuse the invitation of Dawn Film and Television.

Mu Chen's film also has three formats, and the one that invites those people to watch it is naturally the IMAX-3D system.

"The person who invited, basically said they would come. Chen Fuhai said, "If there is no accident, it will be set at the IMAX hall of the Dawn Cinema Line on January 7." Many people in the circle expressed strong interest in your film, and Zhang Gang and others directly called to leave a place. ”

"The theater should be able to accommodate it, right?" Mu Chen said.

"That's fine. Chen Fuhai nodded.

"Before the release of "Avatar", I was going to make a romance film with Ruoxi, set in the United States. Mu Chen continued, "You read the script first, and then let Dream Pictures prepare first, and start preparing after the Chinese New Year." A low-budget film should not take much time. ”

"Good. ”

Chen Fuhai nodded.

The film did not affect the previous plans. The beginning of the cinematic universe was originally planned to be after the release of "Avatar".

Mu Chen just took advantage of the gap before the release of the film to shoot a romance film.

It's just that I don't know if Ruoxi's drama addiction is coming, or if Mu Chen himself has thought about it again.

However, the romance film starring Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi seems to be full of gimmicks.

But when Chen Fuhai read the script, he didn't have any doubts.

He understands why Mu Chen is set in the United States, not China.

The story is good, but the setting is domestic, which is obviously not so harmonious.

In Xiangjiang, it is naturally feasible. However, that is a few points worse for the foreign box office.

Could it be that Mu Chen also has high hopes for this romance film, thinking that it will do well at the international box office?
