Chapter 218: Mu Chen's Least Favorite Work

How?

Mu Chen talked for a long time, but there was no substantive answer, but the film "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" was mentioned by him several times.

How so?

Those reporters naturally knew that Mu Chen was advertising the films that were released.

They really want to ask Mu Chen: Is it really good for you to be so "brazen"?

The box office of the film "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" went straight to 3 billion, are you still not satisfied with the box office?

"Director Mu, which of the two films "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is your favorite?"

A reporter asked.

Don't you like to mention "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance"?

Now it's up to you how you answer.

Although, when he asked this question, he had already guessed how Mu Chen would answer.

It's nothing more than "like both".

This is Mu Chen's consistent routine when facing the problem of choice.

What he wanted was Mu Chen's answer.

If he doesn't answer like this, the next question is how to force Mu Chen into a corner?

"Tang Bohu points autumn fragrance!" Mu Chen replied very dryly.

"Ahh

Everyone present was stunned.

None of them expected Mu Chen to answer like this.

The reporter who was ready to "bury mines" for Mu Chen was even more blindsided.

This is not according to the routine!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is my most dedicated film to date, but it's also my least favorite film. Mu Chen continued.

All:......

Mu Chen, is this pretending?

There are 15 nominations for the Golden Dragon Award and 10 nominations for the Oscars, and if you participate in other awards, I am afraid that there will be no fewer nominations.

However, Mu Chen actually said that he didn't like it the most?

You don't like it the most, and you shoot it the hardest, and you get such an amazing nomination.

You're a liar!

"That Mu Chen, what is your favorite work?"

A reporter hurriedly asked.

""Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance"!"

Mu Chen's question was also answered very simply.

All:......

Will you die if you don't advertise?

"Why? Why is Wolf Warrior 2, which created a box office miracle, not your favorite work?"

The reporter was not reconciled and then asked.

The fans of "Wolf Warrior 2" are undoubtedly the most popular among Mu Chen's works.

So many people subconsciously think that Mu Chen likes this film the most.

"Because this film is starring me!" Mu Chen smiled and said, "Of course, the most important reason is because this film is still being released." ”

I'll go!

The reason why you like this is too straightforward!

It seems to be a little shameless.

"Then why don't you like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" the most among Director Mu's many works?" a reporter asked, """Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not yet been released, and you don't like it anymore, how can you make fans like it?

"I like "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" the most, but there are still so many people who don't like it!" Mu Chen said, "I don't like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" the most, so those people must like it." ”

You don't like it anymore, how can those people like it. They will only dislike it more.

Also, why is it "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" again, you are endless!

Well, that's not right!

Mu Chen, is this satirizing those people who hack "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance"?

Or is it implying that after the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there will also be people hacking?

As the first Chinese director to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, are you confident that you will win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director this time?"

The reporter no longer dwelled on the previous question, and continued to ask.

"Those who know me well know that I will never give you a chance to slap you in the face. Mu Chen said, "Don't ask me if I have confidence, whether I can win the award or not has nothing to do with whether I have confidence or not!"

"When will "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" meet fans?"

"The end of March or the beginning of April. Mu Chen said, "The specific day it will be released will be announced in the near future." ”

"Is Director Mu confident in the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?"

This question refers to the answer to the previous question. Mu Chen said with a smile.

Everyone understood in seconds.

This is not a chance to slap your face!

Don't you want to be so cautious! Doesn't it mean that people don't take young people lightly?

Isn't Mu Chen only in his twenties now?

Answering the question like this is worse than those old directors in their seventies and eighties?

Those old directors, the one who mentioned his works is not full of confidence, and he looks like Lao Tzu's works are the best in the world.

Even if I am slapped in the face every time, it is the same as always.

Mu Chen is only in his twenties!

"Director Mu, as the youngest nominee for Best Director in Oscar history, what do you think?"

Thinking of this, a reporter asked randomly.

"I didn't say what I thought. I'm still the youngest person to be nominated for Best Director in the history of the Golden Dragon Awards, haven't I also played soy sauce for several years?" Mu Chen pouted and said, "A nomination doesn't mean anything." ”

Although nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, Mu Chen didn't think he would win.

Mu Chen actually doesn't attach so much importance to awards.

At least choose between the box office and awards, Mu Chen will definitely choose the former.

He did shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for awards, but the main purpose was to use the Oscar nomination to gain international popularity and take the first step towards the world.

Mu Chen's biggest concern now may not be how many awards this film can win, but what the box office will be.

Of course, if you can win the prize, it will be better.

A temporary press conference lasted two or three hours.

"Do you need to celebrate?" Chen Fuhai said to Mu Chen with a smile.

A "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made Mu Chen go international, and it was also the beginning of Dawn Film and Television to go international.

At this time, many filmmakers from Europe and the United States have come to the door.

"Forget it, after the celebration, if you don't win the award, it will be a little embarrassing. It's never too late to celebrate after you've won your prize. Mu Chen shook his head and said.

"To be nominated is to celebrate. Chen Fuhai said.

"Then celebrate. Mu Chen said.

This kind of celebration is also a kind of cohesion for the people of the company.

The more the company is broken, the more honor employees have, and the more they naturally have a sense of belonging.

What's more, the treatment given by Dawn Film and Television has always been good, and then let employees see the development scene, and the sense of belonging will naturally rise.

Celebrations are just celebrations within the company.

However, there are also many people in the circle who have come to cheer for the show, Huarui Film and Television has always had a good relationship with Dawn Film and Television, so naturally many people came.

In addition, Chen Mouzhi also came.

His last play was with Guangzheng Pictures, but he was not the contracted director of Guangzheng Pictures.

A big director like Chen Mouzhi, who has been famous for many years, either has shares in film and television companies or has his own film studio.

Zhang Gang has a large stake in his company, while Chen Mouzhi has his own film studio.

Chen Mouzhi's eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Mu Chen.

He remembered the scene when he first saw Mu Chen. At that time, Mu Chen was still a college student about to graduate, and he was busy with his first work, visiting Li Ruoxi, but he had a conflict with Wu Fan.

It's only been a few years, and his films have won ten Oscar nominations, doing something that many Chinese filmmakers have not done.

The afterlife is terrible and terrifying.

Chen Mouzhi is here, and the cheers are just incidental, and the real purpose is to explore Mu Chen's tone.

He has a good relationship with Zhang Gang, Zhang Gang and Mu Chen's new film, although he only heard some sporadic news, but he can see Zhang Gang's confidence in this film.

This self-confidence is definitely not forced for propaganda, but from the heart. After all, there was no need for Zhang Gang to be like this in front of them.

A "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made Chen Mouzhi see Mu Chen's control of the international market.

"Director Chen seems to have something to say to me?"

Mu Chen saw that Chen Mouzhi wanted to speak several times, and then asked with a smile.

"I heard that the "Jurassic Park" you collaborated with Lao Zhang is about to be completed?" Chen Mouzhi said.

"Really?"

Mu Chen smiled awkwardly, as the producer of "Jurassic Park", Mu Chen didn't even seem to have been to the crew, whether it was going to be finished or not, he really didn't know.

"When will we also cooperate?" Chen Mouzhi looked at Mu Chen and said with a smile.

As a great director, he undoubtedly likes Mu Chen's producer very much.

It seems irresponsible, but in fact, it reveals a kind of trust.

A director like Chen Mouzhi probably doesn't like to have a producer next to him.

"Okay!" Mu Chen immediately responded.

"Oh?" Chen Mouzhi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

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

Still, it doesn't seem surprising to think about it.

The relationship between the two has always been good, not to mention that his Chen Mouzhi's directing level is not bad.

The cooperation between the two sides can also be regarded as a strong alliance.

There are not many contracted directors of Dawn Film and Television, especially in terms of movies, except for Mu Chen, there seems to be none.

However, the movies produced by Dawn Film and Television are not only the works of director Mu Chen.

Mu Chen can cooperate with Yuan Hong, Zhang Gang and others, so naturally he will not refuse to cooperate with him.

"How does Director Chen want to cooperate?" Mu Chen said, "Like Director Zhang and Director Yuan?"

"Okay!" Chen Mouzhi nodded and said.

In fact, the film Yuan Hong is making now is no longer written by Mu Chen, but written by the screenwriting team of Dawn Film and Television.

"What type of film does Director Chen want to make?" Mu Chen nodded and said.

How to cooperate, the big thing is determined, as for the details, that is the negotiation between Chen Mouzhi Studio and Dawn Film and Television.

This Mu Chen will not interfere.

"What about Director Mu's opinion?" Chen Mouzhi said.

Chen Mouzhi is actually good at many types, especially historical war scenes.

However, Mu Chen knows very well that Chen Mouzhi is looking for him to cooperate, obviously wanting to seek a breakthrough in the international market, and if he makes this type of movie, there is no need to come to the door.

"How about I think about it first?" Mu Chen said, "After I write the script, if Director Chen is interested, then let's talk about it." ”

"Good. Chen Mouzhi nodded.

This matter is not urgent.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was nominated for ten Oscars, which was extremely sensational, and even CCTV News reported it.

And the CCTV movie channel report is naturally more intense.

Of course, Mu Chen's press conference also caused great heated discussions.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is Mu Chen's least favorite film. ”

Mu Chen's favorite work turned out to be it. ”

Mu Chen mocked the black sailor of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance". ”

......

Mu Chen mentioned the film "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" several times at the press conference, and the effect was still good.

At least the box office has risen a lot.

"How?" Mu Chen looked at Chen Fuhai with a smile.

"Look again. Chen Fuhai smiled and said, "Your science fiction film is a bit brain-burning." ”

Mu Chen smiled and stopped urging.

Every time he prepares to shoot, he will habitually show Chen Fuhai first, and then listen to his opinion.

Although, there are times when Chen Fuhai has a different opinion.

"How much do you expect the film to cost?" Chen Fuhai asked.

"One hundred million. Mu Chen thought about it and said.

"So little?" Chen Fuhai said subconsciously.

The production cost of a martial arts film is more than 200 million, how can such a sci-fi blockbuster be only 100 million.

"Dollars. Mu Chen said.

When Chen Fuhai heard this, he nodded.

That's not much different from his estimates.

This film is Mu Chen's second step to the world, and it is very important to be able to completely open up international popularity.

What's more, Chen Fuhai, who has read the script, knows very well that if the investment in this film is low, it will not be effective at all.

However, Mu Chen's $100 million is not a small possibility.

There is still a budget to be prepared for this film.

Dawn Film and Television is now wealthy, but after acquiring Xuanying Digital Special Effects Company, it is now laying out domestic theaters, if it weren't for the amazing box office of "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", it would really not be able to get it out for a while.

Of course, after the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there should be a large amount of money coming in.

100 million is indeed Mu Chen's initial budget.

The original is over 150 million dollars, and it's only the official answer.

As for whether the actual cost is high or low, it is unknown.

However, the cost of domestic filming is far lower than that of Hollywood filming.

Whether it's the actor's salary, or the props, costumes, etc.

If this film hadn't been shot on location abroad, I'm afraid the production cost would be lower than the original.

"Who are the actors going to use?" Chen Fuhai then asked, "Ke Bu should let your brother play it, right?"

Produced by Dawn Film and Television, whether it is a TV series, variety show, or movie, the choice of actors is naturally limited to consider the contracted artists of Dawn Film and Television.

Now, among the signed artists of Dawn Film and Television, Mu Ze is the only one who can take on the male lead in this film.

Mu Chen opened up his popularity with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and moved towards the world, so Mu Ze will definitely gradually develop internationally.

After "Wolf Warrior 2", Mu Ze's development in China has fallen into a bottleneck.

"Wait for my brother to come back and ask first. Mu Chen thought about it and said.

Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen with some doubts.

"My brother and they're getting married. Mu Chen said.

"What, what!" Chen Fuhai was a little surprised when he heard this.

He felt a little ...... Fast!

Yes, it's fast!

Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi's relationship has been announced for so many years, and there is no sign of getting married.

But Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan seem to have only been together last year, right?

"Why is it so sudden?" Chen Fuhai said.
