Chapter 280: Best-selling author Mu Chen

The secret to success, the trick to winning awards?

This seems to be a matter of changing the soup or not changing the medicine at all.

However, when you think about it, it is not.

Mu Chen said at the Golden Dragon Award that the basis of his success is the script, so what is your trick to writing a good script?

"Listen more, see more, think more, think more......"

Just find something to send those reporters, for Mu Chen, it is still very easy.

It's really not good, and then give away countless chicken soups about success.

Mu Chen's reading volume is still quite amazing.

"Director Mu, many of your fans say that you are now the first person in Chinese films, what do you think?"

A reporter took advantage of Mu Chen's speech and hurriedly asked.

Mu Chen's chicken soup is really a bit brainwashing.

If Mu Chen was allowed to say this again, they would all feel that success was so easy.

"The first person in Chinese films? Are you sure it's my fans who say it, not my enemies?" Mu Chen said, "Among Chinese filmmakers, I am just a junior, and there are more filmmakers who are better than me. I still have a lot to learn. ”

The first person in Chinese films?

This is not uncommon.

Mu Chen is indeed not very old in the director circle, and he has not debuted for many years, but his achievements seem to be comparable to no director.

Needless to say, Mu Chen is now not only the director with the most cumulative box office in China, but also the director with the most cumulative box office in the world.

In terms of awards, it is estimated that he is also the director who has won the most awards.

Of course, the most important is undoubtedly the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, and the Oscar for Best Director.

Mu Chen said this, not to kill, but many people think so.

The first Chinese filmmaker?

Can Mu Chen afford it?

At least he didn't think he could.

He knows very well that his directing level may not be comparable to Zhang Gang and others, and his advantage is nothing more than having an original reference.

He had in his mind countless movies from another world.

Of course, he also has another advantage, that is, he has a high ability to learn and comprehend, and he has always insisted on learning.

However, even so, he does not think that his years of study can be compared with the accumulation of Zhang Gang and others for decades.

People should maintain a humble heart.

Mu Chen did not continue to answer reporters' questions, but walked into the company under the escort of the security guards of Dawn Film and Television.

Journalists, you can't be alienated, you can't get used to it.

As soon as Mu Chen returned to the company, Chen Fuhai couldn't wait to talk to him with "Journey to the West".

"Do you think the TV series will be made first and released at the same time when it starts, or will it be released first?" asked Chen Fuhai.

As for the film adaptation, the opinions of the two of them have undoubtedly been consistent.

After the influence of the work comes out, it is time to think about making a movie.

"What about your opinion?" Mu Chen looked at Chen Fuhai and asked.

He didn't think carefully about how to operate to achieve the best results.

"I propose to release it first and then announce the adaptation into a TV series. Chen Fuhai said.

"Then do what you want!" Mu Chen said.

When Chen Fuhai said this, he must have done some investigation and consideration.

Mu Chen understands Chen Fuhai.

"Do you have any recommendations for the director?" Chen Fuhai then asked.

There is no doubt that "Journey to the West" is a classic, but whether the TV series can be classic is undoubtedly crucial to the choice of the director.

"What about you?" Mu Chen shook his head and said.

There are many directors of Dawn film and television TV series, among which Xu Lin and Gao Xin are the largest.

One is good at martial arts, and the other is good at Xianxia.

Now both of them are involved in other types of TV series, and the response is good, and their abilities are good.

"Yu Yun!" Chen Fuhai said a person's name.

"He?" Mu Chen said with some surprise, "Isn't he preparing "Painted Skin"?"

"He has seen it and wants the directing rights of this drama. Chen Fuhai said.

Is Yu Yun suitable?

Nature is suitable. However, his schedule is clearly not suitable. What's more, he was born in filmmaking, and when he turned back to make TV series, it is inevitable that there are some habits that cannot be changed.

"You're not afraid that he will make a TV series as a movie!" Mu Chen shook his head and said, "If it is a movie, he is quite suitable." But if it's a TV series......"

"There is so much investment, and it is not enough for him to shoot according to the movie!" Chen Fuhai said.

"Do you really plan to let him direct?" Mu Chen looked at Chen Fuhai and asked.

He obviously saw that Chen Fuhai liked Yu Yun.

"The success or failure of the TV series is related to the follow-up of the big IP of 'Journey to the West', so we have to be cautious. Chen Fuhai said, "Moreover, Yu Yun has put down the preparation of "Painted Skin" during this time......

Mu Chen frowned when he heard this.

"The preparation of 'Painted Skin' has only just begun, and there is nothing to lose by stopping now. Chen Fuhai saw Mu Chen's expression and said, "You can talk to him first, he has a lot of ideas about the filming of "Journey to the West". ”

"It seems that he talked to you?" Mu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Just talk." He wants to direct this TV series, so give it to him!"

When Chen Fuhai heard this, he was stunned, and if he persuaded more, he was held back in his mouth.

"What's the budget?" Mu Chen then asked.

"150 million!" Chen Fuhai said.

This is definitely the most expensive TV series to invest in in recent years.

150 million, if it is made into a movie, the rate of return is undoubtedly greater, and of course, the risk is also greater.

Like Li Chao's "The Richest Tomato", the investment cost is only this amount, but the box office can exceed 3 billion.

Dawn Film and Television's revenue also exceeded one billion.

Obviously, this TV series can't have such a high income.

A budget of 150 million?

Selling at a sky-high price, I'm afraid it is impossible to have such a high profit.

Moreover, with such a high-investment TV series, it is estimated that a single TV station will not be able to eat it.

"Prepare an extra 50 million!" Mu Chen thought for a while and said.

Chen Fuhai nodded, and he didn't have any opinion on this.

The TV series with an investment of 200 million yuan has undoubtedly set a new record for the production cost of TV dramas.

However, Chen Fuhai is not worried that this TV series will lose money.

This is not only confidence in "Journey to the West", but also confidence in Mu Chen and Yu Yun.

Adapted by Mu Chen and directed by Yu Yun, a big director in the film industry, with this gimmick alone, I am afraid that the ratings are already guaranteed.

What's more, Chen Fuhai's eyes are not just staring at the TV.

If the TV series is successful and affected, it doesn't matter if you lose money.

The TV series "Journey to the West" is obviously the highlight of Dawn Film and Television.

An investment of 200 million yuan is directed by the film director Yu Yun.

Yu Yun even put down the movie "Painted Skin" for this TV series!

Dawn Film and Television is definitely the top film and television company in China today, and once it is operational, it will naturally be extremely fast.

This is a TV series project on a par with big-budget movies, and it is naturally inclined in terms of personnel.

Soon, "Journey to the West" came out, and there was naturally no room for publicity.

is on fire, and the TV series naturally attracts much attention.

Of course, this publicity doesn't need to be too laborious, and Mu Chen's appeal alone is already amazing.

"It's a book that I've spent years working on, and it should be worth reading!"

Mu Chen also posted a Weibo promotion, accompanied by a physical book photo of "Journey to the West".

"It's the most dedicated one he's ever put into it. ”

Li Ruoxi reposted Mu Chen's Weibo and wrote the above sentence, behind the text, there were a few snickering expressions, which was probably a self-ridicule of the words "the most attentive so far".

Mu Chen's appeal in the entertainment industry has long been different from what it used to be, and he naturally has a lot of celebrities in his play.

If it's a movie, maybe those stars will be cautious about promoting it.

, naturally, there are not so many scruples.

Mu Chen himself is very concerned, and he wrote, and there are naturally many curious people. Nowadays, there are so many celebrity gangs to publicize, and its influence is naturally amazing.

"Journey to the West" was put on sale and instantly topped the single-day best-selling list, and its sales volume in second place was only a fraction of that of "Journey to the West".

At this time, many people suddenly remembered that Mu Chen didn't know a director with amazing box office appeal, and he was also a writer of production and marketing books!

And with the start of sales, discussions about this book immediately appeared on the Internet.

Such a momentum has naturally attracted the attention of the literary circle.

Zhao Yunrong has now resigned from the Writers' Association and the Ancient Poetry Association, although he has closed his pen and no longer writes books, he can't change his habit of reading, especially those popular new works, and he will write some comments when he is interested.

For Mu Chen's book, he is naturally full of interest.

Although Mu Chen is very popular in the film industry, Zhao Yunrong is deeply impressed by Mu Chen's attainments in ancient poetry.

He also bought a copy of "Journey to the West" for the first time, wanting to see what this filmmaker who just won the Oscar for Best Director wrote?

Mu Chen's previous martial arts, Zhao Yunrong still has something to watch.

"Chaos is not divided into heaven and earth, and no one can see it.

Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Ziqing to distinguish turbidity.

Covering the masses of beings to look up to benevolence, inventing all things to be good.

If you want to know the Yuan Gong of the Creation Society, you must watch the Legend of Journey to the West. ”

This is the opening poem of the first chapter of Journey to the West, and this poem is not particularly perfect from a poetic point of view. However, as long as you read this poem lightly, the majestic momentum of the desolation of heaven and earth is overwhelming.

Read on.

"Another 5,400 years old, just as the child will meet, light and clear, there is a sun, a moon, a star, and a day. The sun, moon, stars, and stars are called the four elephants. Therefore, it is said that the sky is open to the son. After 5,400 years old, the son will come to an end, and the meeting will be ugly, and gradually solid. Yi said: Dazai Qianyuan! To Zai Kun Yuan! Ten thousand materials are born, but Shun Chengtian ......"

Heaven is open to the son.

The ground is ugly.

Born in Yin.

Zhao Yunrong is undoubtedly a knowledgeable person, and when he saw this, his heart rolled up with waves.

This sentence seems simple, but in such a simple discourse, it seems to contain the way of heaven and earth change, which is a kind of knowledge to understand the formation of heaven and earth and the universe, which has risen to philosophy.

As for what this means, Zhao Yunrong feels that there is a lot of information, and it is far from being able to understand it in a while.

This ......

Horror rose in Zhao Yunrong's heart, but he forcibly suppressed it, and then watched it on.
