Compared with "I Am Not the God of Medicine", the fan base of the film "Young You" is much more limited.

Both films deal with some social topics, but the former is much broader than the fan base.

The former is easily touched by people of all ages, while the latter is difficult to do.

The finished film of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", Mu Chen has seen it.

However, Mu Chen has not seen "Young You", but he heard Chen Fuhai say that the shooting is extremely good, and it is a high-quality film.

In fact, the expectations of these two films in the awards are much higher than the expectations at the box office.

Of course, the box office hit was also an unexpected surprise.

"Young You" is scheduled for the summer, but it is later, and it will be released in August.

This summer, although Mu Chen's works have not been released, there is no shortage of films released by Dawn Film and Television.

At the beginning of July, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" was released!

Nowadays, superhero movies have become a must-have for summer.

It is not the release of Chinese superheroes produced by Dawn Film and Television, but the release of American superheroes-related films produced by Dream Pictures.

Anyway, during the summer vacation, there will be superheroes active on the big screen.

The question is only whether the superhero is Chinese or Western.

Although "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is no longer directed by Mu Chen, it is still expected by countless superhero fans.

Even, it has been expected by countless sci-fi fans.

In June, the publicity of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" gradually increased, and "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was also announced to be postponed to July.

At this time, the box office of the film has exceeded 3 billion.

Although it will be released for a month, there are very few films scheduled, and it is unlikely that it will break 4 billion.

However, even so, this film has made countless people red.

Director Lu Hai became famous with this film.

Of course, it is not only the director of the film who has become popular, except for Huang Yao, the supporting role in the film was not famous before, and now it is undoubtedly popular.

In July, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" was released, and "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was gradually drawn.

It is a pity that the film did not reach the 4 billion mark in the end.

And the foreign box office of the film is not as good as everyone speculates.

The box office in Southeast Asia is still so-so, and the box office in North America and Europe is a bit "miserable".

With gimmicks such as "Mu Chen's screenwriter" and a box office explosion in China, the box office in North America exceeded 10 million US dollars on the first day, and then the cumulative box office only exceeded 30 million US dollars.

The domestic box office is nearly 4 billion, while the foreign box office is less than 100 million US dollars.

This situation is not uncommon, but the films written by Mu Chen are extremely rare, especially in recent years, there are no screenwriting films.

Over the years, the films written by Mu Chen have been extremely impressive at the global box office.

Many fans wonder why Mu Chen wrote such a film that is only aimed at the domestic market.

However, it is said that this film Mu Chen wrote a long time ago, but he forgot it in a corner of the study.

The script of this film was written very early, but it was left in the study.

As soon as this news came out, the fans who were puzzled were immediately relieved.

After all, Mu Chen's early works were only aimed at the domestic market.

Then, this matter also caused heated discussions among many netizens.

A script turned out of the study, with a box office of billions?

So, are there still billions left in Mu Chen's study?

When "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" was released, the filming of "Covering the Sky" was more than three months old, and it was also nearing the end, and the completion was imminent.

"If the box office of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is not as good as its predecessor, I don't know how many media will jump out and step on it?" Li Ruoxi said to Mu Chen with a smile.

She also starred in "Covering the Sky", but only showed one side in the first part.

Basically, it appears as an easter egg at the end of the film.

However, the role she plays is undoubtedly an extremely important role in the entire "Covering the Sky World".

The Ruthless Emperor.

Li Ruoxi plays this wonderful and gorgeous empress of the human race.

Although Mu Chen's "Covering the Sky World" is very different from the original, some of the characters in it are borrowed.

For example, the ruthless emperor, the beginningless emperor, etc.

If such a movie world is successfully created, then a brilliant character like the ruthless emperor will definitely have a "extra" film.

"Step on it. Mu Chen smiled and said, "Although the box office of "Sword Immortal 2" and "Martial God 2" is not as good as the previous work, it has also broken 1.5 billion US dollars. Not to mention that the box office of "Guardians of the Galaxy 2", the company is already prepared to be inferior to its predecessor. ”

No way, the first part was filmed by Mu Chen, who can match his box office appeal?

In terms of the director's box office appeal, the second part is congenitally insufficient.

Moreover, Mu Chenyuzhu is in front, and in the follow-up works, fans are naturally much harsher.

"Sword Immortal 2" and "Martial God 2" have a bad box office reputation as their predecessors, and "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" may not escape such a fate.

Mu Chen is the creator of this movie universe, and the films he directs are naturally more recognized by those superhero movie fans.

This is like Mu Chen saying that Thanos is the most powerful character, and he has always been at the top of the combat power list.

And that's exactly what happened.

As Mu Chen and others speculated, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is worse than the first part in terms of box office and word of mouth.

Of course, it's just a few.

Compared with the films released at the same time, the popularity of this film is still at the top of the list.

On the first day of the film's release, whether it was North America or China, it won the single-day box office championship.

Judging from the box office trend of his films, the final box office may not be as good as the first one directed by Mu Chen, but the box office of breaking $1.5 billion is still nine out of ten.

did not surpass the first part, and some media such as "Sword Immortal 2" and "Valkyrie 2" began to sour the series of movies after the release of the previous "Sword Immortal 2" and "Valkyrie 2".

has made several films in a row, and the box office is not as good as before. It's a downhill rhythm!

Then, those media outlets were sprayed with superhero fans for nothing.

Neurotic!

A film that grossed more than $1.5 billion and made a lot of money turned out to be a failed film.

This is not a success, what is success?

How many films in the world grossed more than $1.5 billion a year?

Mu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to it, just to win attention, if they responded to this, they wouldn't have so much face.

Soon after the release of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", "Covering the Sky" was successfully completed.

The finale was very low-key, and no press conference was held, nor did it hold any celebration banquet.

The post-production time of this film is expected to be not short, and there is no need to consume the heat of this film in advance.

"Why don't you play for a while?"

Back at the company, Mu Chen saw Ma Lin, but he was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"It's nothing on my side, and it doesn't matter if you rest for a while. But Yuxin's side can't do it, countless patients are waiting for her to save their lives!" said Marin with a smile.

"Yes!" Mu Chen nodded with a smile.

Xie Yuxin is a doctor, and she is indeed not so free on vacation.

"When is Terracotta 2 ready to start?" Mu Chen asked.

"I went in October. Marin said, "Although my film doesn't have any hope for the box office, it still needs to be promoted." ”

Marin's film for himself is scheduled for September, a less competitive schedule.

Mu Chen nodded.

That film, Mu Chen has seen it, it is a bit literary and artistic, but it is not without commercial elements.

Perhaps, many people will see some of their own shadows in the film.

It is a film that makes many people feel a sense of substitution.

And after substitution, different people may have different feelings.

The film is a good film, but Mu Chen is not easy to say what the box office is.

Losing money is unlikely, though.

Even if the cost of the film is counted, Zhao Jin's salary is not high.

What's more, Zhao Jin has long been taking dividends, and the same is true for this film.

Therefore, aside from the remuneration of Zhao Jin and others, the production cost of this film is pitiful.

If the box office exceeds 200 million, it can basically be recouped. Of course, the director and actors basically did not pay dividends.

But now, the box office on the first day broke 300 million 400 million at every turn, with the box office appeal of Ma Lin and Zhao Jin, even if the film is more literary and artistic, the total box office will not even reach 200 million.

"Oh, by the way, when will we make red envelopes?" Mu Chen seemed to remember something, and then asked.

"Huh?"

Ma Lin didn't understand, and looked at Mu Chen with some confusion.

"The second child of my family is in school, and the two boys of Wang Hao's family are estimated to be able to make soy sauce soon. Mu Chen said with a smile.

When Ma Lin heard it, he didn't understand anything, Mu Chen was giving birth!

"Why are you like my dad!" Marin said angrily, rolling his eyes.

When you are not married, you urge you to get married.

After getting married, give birth to a baby!

It's okay to be urged by your parents, but now you have to be urged by your friends.

Is it my fault that I got married late?

Marin was depressed. He walked out of Mu Chen's office and met Yang Min head-on. They greeted each other, seemingly casually, but a hint of embarrassment flashed in their eyes.

In August, "Young You" will be released soon, and the publicity is getting stronger and stronger.

And the promotion of the whole film revolves around "Mu Chen's screenwriter".

As for the directors and actors, they are basically newcomers, and they have no box office appeal.

The most attractive thing about this film is probably the screenwriter of the film.

Perhaps, it is also the only selling point of this film.

"Director Mu, is "Young You" the same script that you forgot in a corner of the study like "I Am Not the God of Medicine"? After the box office explosion of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", did you go to the study to flip through it, saying that you may not be able to turn over billions!"

The film is getting more and more popular, and the screenwriter of Mu Chen, the center of the topic, was naturally asked by the media.

"When "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was a big hit at the box office, I was still filming in the crew, how could I go to the study?" Mu Chen shook his head and said, "The script of the film "Young You" was written after meeting director Chen Guodong. ”

"Director Chen Guodong wants to make a movie about school bullying, and I think this campus issue should be put on the big screen to get more people's attention. Mu Chen said, "So, I wrote such a script." ”
