"Avatar" continues to dominate the single-day box office champion in all regions of the world, but Mu Chen has set off for Los Angeles to start his new journey.

In addition to Li Ruoxi's mother and daughter, there are also many people from Dawn Film and Television who accompanied him this time.

Cheng Ting and Sun Wen have returned from their marriage leave.

Most of the accompanying company personnel are people from Mu Chen's previous team, and this time I went to Los Angeles, so I naturally brushed up on experience.

Mu Chen's team is definitely one of the best in the world, but Hollywood also has a lot to learn from.

Of course, Mu Chen didn't take all the people in his team away, and it was impossible to take them all.

Xu Wen wants to shoot "The Day After Tomorrow" into a 3D film, so naturally he will also need a lot of experienced people to come over.

Other crews, even the crew of the TV series "Journey to the West", have people from Mu Chen's previous team.

The Muchen team has gathered many of the best filmmakers of Dawn Film and Television, but Dawn Film and Television is not without excellence except for the Muchen team.

In terms of cultivating newcomers, Dawn Film and Television has always done an excellent job.

There are many newcomers among the people Mu Chen brought this time.

"Steve Lucas came to me, but I didn't like the script he brought. Harvey Wayne said to Mu Chen.

"Oh?" Mu Chen was a little surprised and said, "What did he say?"

"You can take a look at the script he found first, right?" Harvey Wayne took out a script and handed it to Mu Chen, saying, "That guy is a little stubborn. ”

He knew that although his boss was Chinese, his English proficiency was extremely high.

Not to mention understanding the English version of the script, he can write the English version of the script himself.

The touching script of "The Love of People and Ghosts" is not written by him in English.

He is also said to be fluent in several languages.

No wonder so many people in Huaxia say that he is a scholar.

"Then I'll take a look. Mu Chen nodded, and then opened the script and read it.

He still values this collaboration with Steve Lucas.

A good director can create amazing profits for a film and television company.

Steve is clearly a good director.

"Huh?" Mu Chen was a little surprised just by looking at the beginning.

This is not an action movie, but a Western magic film.

However, Steve is good at action movies, but that doesn't mean he can only make action movies!

Why isn't Harvey optimistic?

Mu Chen continued to watch, but after reading it, he fell into silence.

This script is really not good.

Of course, if you say how bad it is, that's not it, but if you invest too much, the risk is not low, which is why Harvey is not optimistic about this film.

At this time, Mu Chen has a good grasp of the market and the quality of movies.

He agrees with Harvey.

This film was made, and the risks and benefits were not proportional.

Western Fantasy Films?

"Wait a few days for Joseph Lucas to come and talk, I'll talk to him!" Mu Chen thought for a while and said.

Since he wants to make Western fantasy films, why not get the classic "Lord of the Rings" trilogy from last time and space?

It was the most profitable film trilogy in history, beating out other blockbusters such as the Star Wars trilogy and The Godfather.

Moreover, this series is also the record holder for the most Academy Award winners.

There is money to be made, and there are prizes to be won, why not shoot it?

Mu Chen didn't shoot it himself, why didn't he shoot it for Steve?

Let him shoot one first, and if the response is not good, then get the next two out.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Mu Chen has read it all, and it is not difficult to draw the script and even the shots.

As for the related The Hobbit trilogy...... Well, Mu Chen didn't finish reading it.

I haven't finished the first part, so I can't get it out.

However, if the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is successful, it doesn't seem to be difficult to extend some corresponding films, and there is no need for Mu Chen to make a move.

"Good!" Harvey nodded, a little curious why he had to wait a few days.

A few days later, preparations for "Iron Man" were in full swing, and Tony Stark's selection had not yet been decided.

Perhaps the original actor left too much impression on Mu Chen, and every time he chooses an actor, he will want to refer to the original version.

Mu Chen had to admit that he was influenced by the original actors.

This is the "sequelae" after an actor brings a role to life.

It's like, in that time and space, when you mention "Monkey King", you will think of Liuxiaolingtong. When you mention Bai Suzhen, you will think of Zhao Yazhi again......

So when it comes to Iron Man, it is estimated that everyone will subconsciously think of Robert Downey Jr.

"Oh, Mr. Mu, I didn't expect you to come to Los Angeles. Why don't you give me a word in advance, I should have picked you up and washed the dust. Steve said to Mu Chen with a smile.

"Oh, sorry then, I thought you were busy. Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Harvey Wayne said, you're going to talk to me about that movie in person?" said Steve, "and that's a script I bought with a lot of difficulty." I'm very optimistic about how the magic film will look in 3D. ”

"Fantasy is really a genre that is suitable for shooting in 3D. Mu Chen said, "However, to be honest, I agree with Harvey Wayne. Your film is a bit risky. Dream Pictures is not one of Hollywood's top studios and can't afford such a risk. ”

If a film is smashed, Dream Pictures will definitely hurt its muscles and bones, of course, if it is supported by Mu Chen's funds, it will not be.

After winning Dream Pictures, Mu Chen threw a lot of money, and now he hasn't recovered a dime, so he doesn't want to spend any more money.

"Independence Day" has not yet been released, and it was planned to be released in the summer, but "Avatar" dominated the world and had to be postponed.

And the post-production of "Fast and Furious" is not yet complete.

"Are you going to give up on this movie? That's bad news. Steve looked at Mu Chen and said, "If Dream Pictures feels that the risk is a bit big, it can co-invest with other film and television companies and share the risk, I think there are many film and television companies willing to invest in this movie." ”

Is anyone willing to invest?

There are not many such people. If nothing else, Steve Lucas alone can attract countless investments.

However, that would not be in the interest of Dream Pictures.

It is also not in line with Mu Chen's temperament.

"Mr. Steve Lucas, I don't know who wrote the script, but I don't think it was a good choice for you to make that film. Mu Chen said.

"Why?" Steve still wouldn't give up.

A big director like him is somewhat stubborn. What he believes will not be so easy to change.

"You can take a look at this first. Mu Chen smiled, then took out a script and handed it over.

Steve glanced at Mu Chen suspiciously, and then picked it up and took a look: "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"!

Although he was puzzled, Steve looked at it patiently.

It only took a moment for him to understand why.

It's a magic film, a film that seems to be much better than his one.

No!

After reading it, Steve had to admit that this script was much better than his one.

That book is like garbage in front of this book.。

"You, what did you write?" Steve said with some shock as he looked at Mu Chen.

He knows very well that the director in front of him is still a famous screenwriter. He has written scripts for his films, and he has even written scripts for many directors.

It's just that what Steve never expected was that Mu Chen, an oriental director, could still write Western magic scripts.

Moreover, it is so well written.

"This is a series of movies?" Steve asked when he saw Mu Chen nodding.

"Trilogy. Mu Chen said with a smile.

"What about the scripts for the next two films?" said Steve.

"It seems to be a little early to talk about the latter now, right?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"No, if it's a trilogy, knowing the next two parts is more beneficial to the filming of the first one. Steve said.

"If the first part is not filmed well, the next two will definitely be shelved. Mu Chen continued.

The first part was not filmed well, and the sequel naturally will not be available.

"I'll shoot it well, and I'll shoot it well. Steve said, "You take out this script, don't tell me it's not for me to direct?"

"It's not written yet!" Mu Chen spread his hands and said.

The last two parts are indeed not well written.

It's not like he's been doing nothing these days, he's concentrating on writing scripts.

What's more, he also drew a lot of sub-scenes in this script.

Steve didn't know what to say.

Mu Chen released the script, so the cooperation with Steve had to be re-discussed.

That guy was fascinated by "The Lord of the Rings", and Mu Chen and Dream Pictures naturally took the initiative.

Harvey Wayne is not only a visionary filmmaker, but also a businessman who is good at negotiating.

I have to say that this is somewhat similar to Chen Fuhai.

And he is more ruthless than Chen Fuhai.

Steve complained many times in front of Mu Chen.

However, Mu Chen just laughed it off.

He only talks about films, not about collaboration.

This habit, he brought from home to abroad.

He knows very well that the layman intervenes in the insider, and the loss is nothing more than himself.

While Mu Chen and Steve were talking about "The Lord of the Rings", more time was spent on the preparation of "Iron Man".

Obadeya Stan, Pepper Pepper Pepper and other actors have been determined one after another, but the soul of the whole film has not been found for a long time.

There are many Hollywood celebrities who come to the interview, and even their acting skills are extremely good.

But Muchen always felt that there was a little less taste.

"What kind of actor do you want?" Harvey looked at Mu Chen and couldn't help but ask.

"Avatar" is still sweeping the world, and the protagonist of Mu Chen's new film has naturally aroused the interest of countless actors, including many Hollywood celebrities.

But none of Mu Chen took a fancy to it.

Iron Man loves to be in the limelight, has a natural desire to be the center of attention, and has a strong sense of responsibility.

Although he is usually self-conscious, impatient, disregarding the feelings of others, and has no team spirit, when everyone encounters danger, he always takes the lead and takes on the most dangerous tasks.

The charisma of this role requires a suitable actor.

Suitability is not just about acting, popularity, etc.

The success of this film has a lot to do with the success of this character.

And this film is also related to Mu Chen's later series of films, and he has to be cautious.
