There are many domestic directors who are good at blockbusters, but they all have their own styles.

If the director's style is very different from the film's style, then the possibility of a smash increase greatly.

For large-budget films, directors are generally cautious in their selection.

Mu Chen suggested Zhang Gang and Xu Wen, because the directorial styles of the two are suitable for this film, and the ability of the two directors is beyond doubt.

Are there any other directors besides the two of them?

There must still be.

It's just that Mu Chen is most familiar with these two. After all, I have cooperated many times and communicated countless times.

Of course, Mu Chen is just a suggestion, and what will happen in the end will have to be determined after talking to each other.

Li Ruoxi came here, and it was just incidental to let Mu Chen refer to the script.

The main thing is that I haven't seen him for a long time, and I want to be dusty.

However, Mu Chen was busy, and she was also busy, so she hurried back to Yanjing the next day.

The setting up of the filming base went smoothly and much faster than expected.

I have to say that Muchen has a home advantage in Huaxia, and it doesn't take much time to get through the relevant joints.

After staying for a while, Mu Chen returned to Yanjing.

In addition to going home to see Ruoxi and the child, by the way, go back to Dawn Film and Television.

"Director Zhang and Director Xu don't have schedules?" Mu Chen looked at Li Ruoxi with some surprise, and then said, "Isn't there a suitable director for Huarui Film and Television?"

Li Ruoxi shook her head, and then said, "Actually, I think Ma Lin is also quite suitable. ”

"He doesn't have a schedule!" Mu Chen said, "He's filming "The Great Wall" now, can you wait? Don't talk about Marin, Feng Yi is also suitable." ”

If you can wait?

How could Zhang Gang and Xu Wen not wait.

Li Ruoxi will shoot "Sword Immortal 2" soon, and naturally hopes that before this, the director of this drama will be given, and start preparations, and after filming "Sword Immortal 2", and then prepare for preparation, you can start filming.

In this film, she is also ready to play one of the roles.

"How is your company's Mu Wen?" asked Li Ruoxi.

"He?" Mu Chen thought for a moment and said, "You can give it a try!"

Mu Wen was once nominated for the Best Director of Jinlong Street with a literary film, but then wrote and directed an adventure suspense blockbuster, but it was not recognized by fans, especially the foreign box office.

The domestic box office of the film is not very good, and with the income from copyright and other income, it can barely return to its original cost.

However, Mu Chen has watched that film, and it is not difficult to see from it that Mu Wen's directing level is still very good, and there are some places to deal with, and there are quite bright spots.

Perhaps, it's just that I'm used to making literary films, and the first commercial film will inevitably have some traces of literature and art.

After that film, Mu Wen was not making blockbusters, but he did not return to literary films, shooting medium-scale, commercial films.

Most of those films are small profits. However, Muwen has accumulated a lot of experience with these films.

His new film was released on May Day, which was well received and extremely good at the box office.

This may be the reason why Li Ruoxi asked him.

At this time, Muwen is fully qualified to direct a big production.

"Ming'er, I'm going to the company, you give me the script, and I'll let Lao Chen read it for you. Mu Chen continued.

Although Mu Wen is a director trained by Dawn Film and Television, Mu Chen has not had much contact with him, so he can't talk about understanding.

However, Chen Fuhai is different.

"Ruoxi has good eyesight! Where did you find this script?"

The next day, Mu Chen went to the company, and after Chen Fuhai read the script, he said with some sighs.

Obviously, he is still very optimistic about this script.

Naturally, I also have thoughts about the screenwriter.

"Want to hit the screenwriter's idea?"

Mu Chen smiled, and he couldn't see what Chen Fuhai was thinking.

"It's hard to find talents!" Chen Fuhai smiled and said.

The screenwriting department of Dawn Film and Television has many outstanding talents.

But who thinks there are more talents?

From this script, it is not difficult to see that this screenwriter has a lot of ideas, and the script creativity is eye-catching.

"What, you won't sign a contract with Huarui Film and Television?" Chen Fuhai said.

If you sign a contract with Huarui Film and Television, it is really difficult to dig into the wall.

The two companies have always maintained a good cooperative relationship. What's more, the major shareholder of Huarui Film and Television Industry is Mu Chen's father-in-law, and Li Ruoxi also has a lot of shares.

"That's not true. Mu Chen said, "However, it is not easy to dig him up to Dawn Film and Television." ”

"Why?" asked Chen Fuhai curiously.

"Look at the screenwriter's payment. Mu Chen said.

"Lao Wang next door?" Chen Fuhai was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "What kind of bullshit pen name is this!"

"It seems that you don't pay much attention to the Internet!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "This name makes people unable to complain, but it is well-known in the online literature industry." One of the top gods in the online literature industry. ”

"If that's the case, then you really can't dig it up. Chen Fuhai shook his head and said.

The top gods in the online literature industry, how much they earn each year, Chen Fuhai has heard of it.

Dawn Film and Television can't offer such a high price.

Of course, if it is an adaptation of his work, then he can invite the other party to participate in the screenwriting.

It's a pity that the online article is too long and not suitable for adapting a movie.

There are many difficulties in adapting TV series.

Many adapted TV series have good ratings, but unfortunately the reputation is too poor, and there is basically no one who is not scolded by the original party.

Dawn Film and Television also has an adaptation network, but most of them choose the heroine.

Not to mention, the TV series adapted from the Internet, whether it is ratings or word of mouth, the heroine is much better.

"Hey, I remember that you also invested in the station, so you won't be your signed author, right?" Chen Fuhai said.

"This... I really don't know. Mu Chen smiled awkwardly and said.

The corners of Chen Fuhai's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

The TV series adapted by Dawn Film and Television are basically from Muchen's station.

"What do you think of this film, if it is directed by Mu Wen?" Mu Chen then asked.

Naturally, he will not forget the main purpose of showing the script to Chen Fuhai.

"It became clear after talking. Chen Fuhai said, "This kind of film, if you say that among the directors of Dawn Film and Television, Feng Yi and Ma Lin are quite suitable." It's a pity that they don't have a schedule. ”

"Let's talk about it!" Mu Chen said, "Ruoxi said that this film can be jointly produced by Chenxi Film and Huarui Film and Television." ”

Chen Fuhai nodded.

Who will direct "Jumanji" in the end, Mu Chen did not pay attention to it anymore.

He continued to be busy with his films.

At the beginning of June, Mu Chen returned to Huaxia with the team of Dream Pictures and the corresponding actors, ready to start production.

Although the launch conference was held in China, it also attracted many media at home and abroad.

The cast of "Titanic" is not strong, but it can't stop Mu Chen's fame. Moreover, this film is seen as Mu Chen's counterattack against Scorsese and others.

From the very beginning, this film attracted much attention.

What's more, there is also the topic that Mu Chen directly bought hundreds of acres of land in order to make this film.

"Director Mu Chen, it is said that there are many actors competing for the role of Jack in Hollywood, including many internationally renowned big names, why would you choose a newcomer?"

When it came to the reporter's question session, a reporter asked.

This is indeed where many people wonder.

Mu Chen, who has a lot of money, has always filmed regardless of the cost. Don't choose big names, choose newcomers, this is obviously not a matter of salary. What's more, many of those big names have expressed their willingness to reduce their salaries.

Mu Chen's box office appeal is indeed strong, but if it is obviously supported by big names, it will also have a great effect on the box office.

"When I choose actors, I always only choose the right ones, not the famous ones. Mu Chen looked at Justin next to him with a smile and said, "He is the Jack in my mind." ”

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Mu Chen's choice of actors is indeed the case.

Aren't the actors of characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, and even Thor not famous when they play this role?

Like the actor who plays Spider-Man, he is also a newcomer.

"Director Mu, it is said that the budget cost of this film is as high as 300 million US dollars, I don't know if it's true?"

A reporter asked.

With a production cost of $300 million, this is undoubtedly a blockbuster within a blockbuster. In Hollywood, it's also a top-level production.

"If you don't overspend, you are. Mu Chen nodded and said.

As soon as Mu Chen's words came out, many people smiled.

Will it be overspent?

The possibilities are undoubtedly great. Mu Chen's previous films, almost none of which did not exceed the budget.

When the original version was filmed, it was naturally not so high.

But nowadays, prices have increased a lot.

What's more, Mu Chen is also ready to improve the film.

If it weren't for this, the development of special effects technology and the cost of the same special effects would definitely have decreased.

The box office of the original "Titanic" swept the world, in addition to the story itself, the shock of special effects undoubtedly played a great role.

If you don't make some improvements, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to sweep the global box office like the original.

"Then Mu Chen's production cost of 300 million US dollars, does it include the money you paid to buy land here to build a filming base?" a reporter then asked, "It is rumored that you are cooperating with Wansheng Group to build this place into a film and television city, I don't know if this is the case?"

"Buying land here is another commercial project, and naturally it is not included in the budget of this film. Mu Chen said, "As for whether this place will use this to build a film and television city, or do something else, it still needs to be investigated in many ways before the final decision is made." ”

The money to buy land is included in the film's 300 million budget, so how much is the real film production cost?

"Director Mu, you once said that this film will participate in next year's Oscars, so you must be confident that you can compete with Scorsese's "Dawn" at the Oscars?"

Another reporter said.

The questions of these reporters are undoubtedly the hottest topics about this film.

"Whether you participate in next year's Oscars or not, it depends on the progress of the film. Mu Chen said with a smile, "As for whether you are confident to compete with Scorsese's "Dawn" at the Oscars, it is too early to say. Who can guarantee that we will all be shortlisted for the Oscars? I can't guarantee that "Titanic" will be shortlisted for the Oscars, can director Scorsese guarantee that his "Dawn" will be shortlisted for the Oscars?"

"Dawn" is very likely to be shortlisted for the Oscars, but who dares to say it all?
