Chapter 191: Won't Be Cannon Fodder

It is not uncommon to drive a good car with a beautiful woman, but it is estimated that you will drive a tank with a beautiful woman.

However, can you ride in the tank with the wind in it?

Cheng Cheng was very envious, but he could only be envious.

He can't drive a tank.

It is impossible for Mu Chen to take a tank to him to learn.

He can't afford the tuition.

As soon as the film starts, every minute and every second is money.

No matter how much the relationship between Mu Chen is in place, and the military supports this film, it is impossible for the tank to be used by him for too long.

As soon as the tank arrived, Mu Chen's first shot was the scene with the tank.

Time is lost, the scene of the tank is filmed, and then the filming of the literary drama begins.

In action scenes, Mu Chen is usually arranged at the end.

Whether it is Mu Ze, Su Xiaowan, and Jia Ke and other foreign actors, their acting skills are still very good, even Cheng Cheng's acting skills are remarkable.

Of course, the literary requirements of action movies are far less stringent than those of literary films.

The literary drama is very smooth, but the martial arts drama is not so smooth.

"Bang!"

"Mu Ze!"

"Old Wu, hurry up and bring the medicine box!" Mu Chen also hurriedly rushed over and said, "It's okay, right?"

"It's okay!" Mu Ze waved his hand and said.

Just filmed the scene where he rescued He Jianguo.

There was a movement of grasping the iron chain inside, and Mu Ze made a mistake in that action, and when his hands became one-handed, his hands were not grasped steadily, and he fell from above.

The fall was not light.

"Are you alright?" asked Su Xiaowan with concern.

"It's just a little bit of skin, it's fine. Hiss!" Mu Ze said with a smile, and it happened that Lao Wu rubbed alcohol on his wound.

"Take a break. Mu Chen then said.

"Can you put me down first?" Sun Yu hurriedly said.

He was still hanging.

Sun Yulong was born, because of the filming of "Bright Sword", when he played the role of the commander of the cavalry company, his dedication was appreciated by Mu Chen, and he signed a contract with Dawn Film and Television.

After he signed a contract with Dawn Film and Television, his development was still good. At least, it's much better than when it was before.

There is no shortage of filming, and its popularity has also increased a lot.

Of course, you said that you can't compare with Li Hongbin, Su Xiaowan, Li Yunyi and others.

The role of He Jianjun is undoubtedly very important. Mu Chen considered a lot of actors, and finally thought that it was better to cheapen one person from his own company.

Li Hongbin is actually very suitable, but unfortunately he made a cameo appearance as Shi Qingsong, so it is naturally impossible to play He Jianjun again.

However, Sun Yu is actually quite good.

He may not have the European-style double eyelids of the original actor, and he may even be a little different from the role of He Jianjun in terms of age.

But none of this is a problem.

What's more, that guy himself is a little old.

Judging from the shooting situation, Sun Yu still performed well.

What Mu Chen admires most about Sun Yu is his professionalism during filming.

That's a charm.

Mu Ze's injury this time was not serious, as Mu Ze himself said, it was just a little broken skin.

Action actors know how to protect themselves.

This kind of injury is nothing for an action actor.

Minor injuries could not be put in the line of fire, and serious injuries had to be admitted to the hospital.

This is the case with a lot of action scenes.

Lao Wu in the crew, born as a dragon and tiger martial artist, the elders in the family are Chinese medicine, and he has also learned a lot of medical skills in bone-setting, and he has been practicing in the crew all the year round, and he has some minor injuries, and he is not as effective as him when he goes to the hospital.

Take a break and the shooting continues.

After the filming of the action scene of "Wolf Warrior 2" started, Mu Ze was not injured for the first time, and it is estimated that it will not be the last.

He is the leading actor in this play, and he has the most action scenes, even if he is very good and has a strong kung fu foundation, injuries are inevitable.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who was hurt.

Sun Yu, Cheng Cheng, and the actors of the mercenaries were more or less injured, but some were minor and some were severe.

And Jia Ke, who has a rivalry with Mu Ze, is no exception.

Giacco is taller and burlier than the original actor. Although he is a soy sauce actor in Hollywood, he is also proficient in fighting, has filmed a lot of action scenes, and has rich experience in fighting, which is also inevitable.

However, Jaco's acting skills are also good.

In terms of dedication, it is not worse than Sun Yu and others.

Anywhere, there are good actors who are not popular, even in Hollywood.

In this movie, Mu Chen strives for perfection, and many scenes have been filmed.

The shooting period was much longer than expected, and the budget was naturally much exceeded.

“CUT!”

This is the last scene, as soon as Mu Chen's voice came out, everyone in the crew looked at him.

This is the seventh time!

I wonder if there is an eighth time?

"It's over!"

Mu Chen smiled and said.

As soon as his voice fell, everyone around him cheered.

"I announce: "Wolf Warrior 2" is finished!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "Take a break and celebrate at night." ”

It's finally done!

Many people relaxed a lot.

This drama is not easy.

It was started at the end of April, and now it is almost September.

The four-month shooting cycle is much longer than the average film shooting cycle.

It's hard to describe.

They overcame too much, especially in hot weather.

"Hard work!" Mu Chen shook hands with Jia Ke and the others.

"You're welcome, it's been a pleasure to work with you. Jia Ke said with a smile, "What's more, I also learned a few Chinese kung fu." ”

When Mu Chen heard this, he also smiled.

Giacco is also an action actor and has made quite a few films in Hollywood.

Of course, they are all roles that are not heavy and play soy sauce.

He had studied boxing, karate, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and when he heard that the Mu Ze brothers knew Chinese kung fu, he naturally wanted to see it.

After seeing it, I naturally developed a strong interest in Chinese kung fu.

When I have time, I always like to entangle Mu Ze and let him teach two hands.

As for Mu Chen, he was too busy.

It's not a skill that can't be passed on, Mu Ze naturally taught Jia Ke a few real kung fu.

In the evening, "Wolf Warrior 2" held a finale banquet, and many media came to hear about it.

"Director Mu, the filming period of this film is as high as four months, what is the reason?"

For four months, many people have forgotten about the film.

However, now that the film has been completed, it will naturally attract the attention of countless people.

"Keep improving, in order to be the best, many scenes have been filmed countless times. Mu Chen said.

"There are few sequels that surpass their predecessors, do you think "Wolf Warrior 2" is okay?"

"Yes. Mu Chen said with certainty, "If I can't surpass it, why should I shoot it?"

Many movie sequels are suspected of making money.

Is "Wolf Warrior 2" suspicious?

There must be.

Even in the eyes of many people, the reason why Mu Chen has "Wolf Warrior 2" is entirely because "Wolf Warrior" has a good box office reputation, and it is profitable to make a sequel.

Of course, Mu Chen also has to admit that the good box office reputation of "Wolf Warrior" is the basis for filming the sequel.

It doesn't matter whether you make money or not, what matters is whether you can guarantee the quality.

Mu Chen will not ignore quality for the sake of money.

smashed the reputation, and the gains outweighed the losses.

"Does Director Mu think the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" can surpass its predecessor?"

"Wolf Warrior 2" has invested more than 200 million. Yes, more than 200 million, and I've overspent quite a bit. The production cost of more than 200 million is more than double that of the previous work, and if the box office does not reach the same level as the previous work, it will have to die. Mu Chen said, "I believe that "Wolf Warrior 2" will give me a surprise and a surprise for everyone." ”

"What is the reason why you chose to direct the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" instead of the sequel to "Infernal Affairs"? "Infernal Affairs" is a Hong Kong film and should be directed by a director from Hong Kong. ”

"Infernal Affairs 2" started behind "Wolf Warrior 2", but it was finished in front.

The news that Mu Chen would not direct "Infernal Affairs 2" also caused a lot of turmoil at that time.

However, at that time, Mu Chen was in Africa and did not pay much attention.

"You also believe such a loophole rumor!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "The copyright of "Infernal Affairs" is in my hands, if I don't shoot it, how can I put pressure on it! Not to mention, the script of "Infernal Affairs 2" was also written by me. Director Zhuang is an excellent director, he is also the assistant director and executive director of the first part, and he directs the second part is also recommended by me. ”

"As for why I chose the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" and not the sequel to "Infernal Affairs", it is purely a personal preference. Mu Chen said, "Compared with police dramas like "Infernal Affairs", I prefer action movies like "Wolf Warrior". ”

This is one reason.

In addition, the sequel to "Infernal Affairs" can find a suitable director, but the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" is difficult to find.

At least, none of the directors reassured Mu Chen.

Perhaps, Mu Chen subconsciously doesn't matter if "Infernal Affairs 2" is smashed, but he does not allow "Wolf Warrior 2" to be smashed.

It's not about the box office, it's purely a matter of personal liking.

After all, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" is much higher than that of "Wolf Warrior".

I'm afraid that except for Mu Chen, no one would think that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" could do better than "Infernal Affairs 2".

"When is "Wolf Warrior 2" going to be released?"

"It depends on the progress of post-production. Mu Chen said.

Chen Fuhai is biased towards the Spring Festival file, and Mu Chen is biased towards next year's summer file.

The reason is nothing more than that the summer file is more durable.

The Spring Festival file is good, but the durability is much different from the summer file.

The original "Wolf Warrior 2" created a box office myth, which has a great relationship with its release in the summer.

In Mu Chen's opinion, if the original version chooses the Spring Festival file, it may be far better than being released in the summer file at the beginning, but the later game is incomparable.

The schedule of this film is controversial and has not yet been decided.

However, the schedule for "Infernal Affairs 2" has been set.

National Day file!

A schedule that is not very good, but not bad.

Before "Infernal Affairs 2", Dawn Film and Television had another film.

That is "Ip Man" directed by Yuan Hong and starring Yuan Cheng.

However, this film is difficult to compare with "Infernal Affairs 2" and "Wolf Warrior 2" in terms of momentum.

Although this film has the gimmick of "Mu Chen's screenwriter" to attract fans, it is much worse in terms of competitiveness. Dawn Film and Television is also not scheduled in some good schedules.

"Ip Man" was released in early September, and it was only a few days away.

The finale banquet of "Wolf Warrior 2" attracted many media reporters.

Dawn Film and Television just simply "meant" the reporters who came, but almost all the media present reported it.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is finished!

Just after the finale, netizens directly pushed this matter to the hot search list and topic list.

The hot search list is at the top, while the topic list is somewhat behind.

The promotion of the film has not yet begun, so naturally it will not deliberately create a topic.

"Are you really deciding to schedule it for next year's summer vacation?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and asked.

"Do you still think it's more appropriate to release it during the Spring Festival?" Mu Chen said.

He and Chen Fuhai rarely had a disagreement.

"I agree with your analysis, this film is better released in the summer than in the Spring Festival. Chen Fuhai said, "It's just that the Spring Festival stalls are empty, and it is inevitable that I feel a little pity." Or, "Infernal Affairs 2" will be withdrawn from the National Day file and released during the Spring Festival?"

When Mu Chen heard this, he understood it.

This guy is inflated, I really think that the Spring Festival file is the private place of Dawn Film and Television!

It is estimated that "Infernal Affairs" exceeded expectations at the box office during the Spring Festival, which made Chen Fuhai taste the sweetness.

"Didn't you say that "Infernal Affairs" is not suitable for the atmosphere of the family carnival during the Spring Festival?" Mu Chen said.

Chen Fuhai thinks so, and Mu Chen doesn't think so.

The first part was a great success in the Spring Festival stalls, which was a bit unexpected.

They don't think there are any surprises in the second part.

Therefore, the schedule of "Infernal Affairs 2" will be a National Day file.

"Isn't there no film?" Chen Fuhai said.

"If you don't have a film, you can't just make one. Mu Chen smiled and said.

"Make one?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen in surprise and said, "Is it too late?" or are you going to put down the later stage of "Wolf Warrior 2"?"

"Why give up? "Wolf Warrior 2" is estimated to be more than a month later. Mu Chen said, "I'm doing the later stage of "Wolf Warrior 2", and you are preparing a new film. After the post-production, we will start the filming, and at the end of the year, the filming will be completed. Shoot a comedy, and post-production is simple. The Spring Festival file was released, and it was completely urgent. ”

"Isn't it a little hasty?" Chen Fuhai said.

The film shot in this way, are you sure you are going to fight for the Spring Festival, not to be cannon fodder?

"I'll give you the script tomorrow. Rest assured, the competitiveness is definitely not weaker than those blockbusters released during the Spring Festival. My Muchen's film is not going to be reduced to cannon fodder. Mu Chen seemed to see Chen Fuhai's worry, and then said.

Why does Chen Fuhai want Dawn Film and Television to have a place in the Spring Festival file?

It's a way for the company to show its strength.

If Dawn Film and Television becomes the big winner of the Spring Festival file for two consecutive years, then the strength of Dawn Film and Television will definitely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the future, the films produced or produced by Dawn Film and Television will gradually form a kind of reputation.

But if the films of Dawn Film and Television become cannon fodder during the Spring Festival, it will undoubtedly backfire.

Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen, and finally nodded.

Mu Chen is still so confident.

Comedy? Mu Chen makes a comedy!

Chen Fuhai is still looking forward to it.

Mu Chen has never made a comedy, but as the screenwriter of "Love Apartment", he wants to make a comedy, and I am afraid that the people who are looking forward to it are not only him Chen Fuhai, but also the majority of fans.

The next day, Mu Chen handed the written script to Chen Fuhai, and then went to work on the later stage of "Wolf Warrior 2".

The original version of "Wolf Warrior 2" is a 3D film, but Mu Chen's version is still not shot in 3D, and there is no need to use it.

In this world, 3D films have not yet caught fire.

Even the technology is not fully mature. However, Mu Chen has already understood some knowledge in related aspects and learned it again.

It's not 3D, and post-production is relatively simple, and it takes less time.

Not long.

Chen Fuhai found Mu Chen and said, "Let's give the actors first, otherwise the schedule will conflict and be troublesome." ”

There was still some excitement in his words, obviously after reading Mu Chen's script, he was full of confidence in this "rushed" film.

He couldn't wait.

Seeing this, Mu Chen smiled.
