"Gone with the Wind" is a historical blockbuster with a huge budget, luxurious scenes, and grand and realistic war scenes, and it will definitely become a classic in the history of cinema with its commendable artistic achievements.

The investment cost of this film also broke the record set by Mu Chen, becoming the largest investment film so far.

Of course, this film is estimated to be broken by Mu Chen soon.

The first half of the film is like an epic, recreating the decline of the thriving plantation civilization more than 100 years ago, the wounded soldiers everywhere in Atlanta's Pentagon, the constant fleeing, shooting, fire and other scenes are magnificent in scale and majestic in color.

And these, the scene is bigger than the original, and the cost is naturally higher than the original.

What's more, even if the scene is smaller than the original, the cost is just as huge.

After all, prices are no longer the same. It costs a lot more to present what you agree to.

Comparatively speaking, the cost of the second half is much lower.

The second half is a sad psychological drama, revealing the heroine's maturation in the conflict with her heart with the power of drama.

It's not a big deal, and the cost is naturally different.

The film was released shortly after the Oscars.

Only a few countries and regions have postponed their releases. North America and China, the two largest film markets, were released at the same time.

In April, this schedule is actually not very good.

But with the popularity of the Oscars and the appeal of Mu Chen and Steve's cooperation again, as soon as the film was released, countless fans were attracted to the theater.

In this schedule, there are no blockbusters, so "Gone with the Wind", the gimmick of investing the most and two big directors working together again, has won the highest film schedule without dispute, and whether it is China or North America, the film schedule is not much higher than the second place.

"The box office is out. Harvey looked at Mu Chen with a smile and said, "This film may be expected to break into the top three." ”

"Oh?" Mu Chen looked at Harvey in some surprise.

Rushing into the top three, it is naturally the top three in the global box office list, but the annual box office list.

If you want to break into the top three, then you need at least nearly $3 billion at the box office.

Where did Xavi get his confidence, just based on the first-day box office?

"$90 million at the North American box office. The box office in China also broke 200 million. Harvey said, "Almost all other countries and regions have won the single-day box office. ”

"If you want to break into the top three, you don't have to. The longevity of the film is crucial. Mu Chen said.

"There weren't any competitive films in the same period, and the film had an amazing reputation. Harvey said.

"The box office in North America and other places may be good, but the box office in China can break 2 billion is good. Mu Chen shook his head and said.

He is not optimistic about the box office of this film in China.

There are more and more Chinese-language blockbusters, and the quality is getting higher and higher, which has led to many Hollywood blockbusters losing their advantage in China.

If it weren't for his Muchen's box office appeal, this kind of Hollywood blockbuster that is a little unaccustomed to the soil may not have any hope of breaking 2 billion.

In fact, as Mu Chen speculated, although the reputation of "Gone with the Wind" in China is excellent, fans are not as popular as North America and other places.

has Mu Chen's appeal in it, and the box office only broke 200 million on the first day, which is really not good.

"Gone with the Wind" was released, and "Gone with the Wind", adapted from the screenplay, also began to be released immediately.

And this film has sold amazingly, and in the literary circle, the evaluation is also surprisingly high. The words of "classics" can also be seen everywhere.

However, Mu Chen didn't care too much.

He stayed in Dream Pictures for a while, and then set off for Yanjing.

The post-production of "Covering the Sky" is still unfinished.

Back in Yanjing, Mu Chen continued to be busy with his movies, while Li Ruoxi was still holding a concert.

She is definitely the hottest singer in China now.

In May, the post-production of "Covering the Sky" was completed.

The full name of the film: "Covering the Sky, Starry Sky Ancient Road"!

It's easy to pass the review, and now the above is much more relaxed for movies.

The film passed the review and was immediately set for July 11.

"Why do you always like to release your films in the summer?" Marin asked Mu Chen.

"The time span is long enough!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "And most of my fans are students." ”

"Isn't it?" said Marin, "why do I think your fans should be more of our age?"

"How many people of our age have nothing to do to watch movies?" Mu Chen shook his head and said, "There are old people, there are young people, and the pressure is so great." ”

"It's stressful, so I need to watch a movie to release it!" Marin said.

"How do I feel that you have a kind of pressure!" Mu Chen looked at Marin and said, "Yes." It's about to become a father, inevitably. ”

"What's the pressure on me?" said Marin, "When that kid is born, can't I afford it?"

Mu Chen smiled and didn't mention this stubble again.

It is not so much that Marin feels pressure because the child is about to be born, but that on his shoulders, there is suddenly more responsibility and responsibility for his father.

This is a kind of discomfort that comes with a change of identity.

He, Zhao Jin and others have actually experienced it, so they naturally understand.

"When will your movie be released?" Mu Chen asked.

Marin's sequel to "Terracotta Warriors" was completed a few years ago, and now it is almost half a year ago, and post-production is nearing completion.

"It's not finalized yet. Marin shook his head and said, "I guess it's those schedules." ”

Which schedules? Naturally, the Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, Christmas and New Year's Day, and the Spring Festival will be followed.

The sequel to "Terracotta Warriors" has a greater investment and a bigger scene than its predecessor.

With the foundation of the first film, the expectations for this film are undoubtedly high.

Blockbusters must have a good schedule!

This is basically a law of domestic film and television companies. It is really rare to see a blockbuster like "Gone with the Wind", which is released on a general schedule.

"Is your film expected to surpass Gone with the Wind?" Marin then asked.

"Gone with the Wind" has been released for nearly a month, and although it has not yet been painted, it can already be seen what the box office potential is.

There is no hope of breaking into the top three, but now it has broken into the top five.

The box office in China exceeded 2 billion, and the box office in North America and Europe was supported, and the cumulative global box office of the film exceeded 2 billion US dollars earlier.

It may break $2.5 billion, ranking fourth in the global box office list.

The failure of the Chinese box office gave this film no chance to break into the top three of the global box office list.

In fact, Mu Chen thinks that the film is already very good at breaking 2 billion at the box office in China.

"More than "Gone with the Wind"?" Mu Chen looked at Marin and said, "You really dare to think about it! My goal for this film is only one billion dollars, and you have more than tripled it." ”

"A billion dollars?" Marlin shook his head and said, "You have set yourself such a goal, who will believe it?"

"Titanic" exceeded $3 billion at the global box office, ranking first in the global box office list.

"Covering the Sky" is Mu Chen's first film after this film. In the eyes of many people, Mu Chen's film must have broken the box office of "Titanic".

What's more, the box office of Mu Chen's films over the years has not been less than 1.5 billion US dollars.

"It's cold in high places!" Mu Chen said with some sighs.

"Can I understand you're pretending?" Marin pouted.

Mu Chen rolled his eyes.

Now it has broken the world's highest box office record for two consecutive times. The box office of each film is higher than the other, and if there is suddenly a film that does not do well at the box office, I am afraid that there will be countless media immediately saying how he is.

It's an invisible pressure.

Otherwise, "Covering the Sky" would not have taken so long.

He really didn't have much faith in the film.

Whether it's word-of-mouth or box office.

Time passed quickly, and July 11 was getting closer and closer.

And Li Ruoxi's concert tour also arrived in Yanjing.

This is the last stop, but it's not the only one.

Li Ruoxi has held 21 concerts in the past few months, one in some cities, and two or three in a row in others.

Yanjing will open three games in a row, making up for 24 games.

Although some cities have more than one show, they are still full.

Like Yanjing's three concerts, the tickets have already been sold out.

Moreover, Yanjing's three concerts are also the largest in this tour.

For three concerts, Mu Chen was present.

However, he did not come to power much. just sang a song alone, and then sang a song with Li Ruoxi.

Even so, it drove his fans crazy.

Mu Chen's voice may not be so recognizable, but his singing skills are not bad.

It's just that many people only remember him as a film director nowadays, and he was also a person who released music albums in the past.

He doesn't have much time to sing on stage these days.

There is no doubt that Li Ruoxi's concert tour this time was a great success.

"Enjoyable, right?" Mu Chen asked Li Ruoxi with a smile.

"I miscalculated how addicted I was to singing. Li Ruoxi shook his head and said, "In the first few scenes, the interest was extremely high, but in the back, it became purely a responsibility." ”

"That's how the world tour we talked about before died?" Mu Chen smiled and said.

He could see that Li Ruoxi was a little mentally and physically exhausted by these 20 concerts.

"Why did you die?" Li Ruoxi said, "Didn't you say that after filming "The Guardian Alliance", you will rest for a few years?

Mu Chen nodded and smiled.

He doesn't really have much interest in doing a world tour.

However, Li Ruoxi wants to open, and he is also very happy to accompany her.

Over the years, he has neglected Li Ruoxi a little.

"When is the expected launch of Guardian Alliance?" Li Ruoxi then asked.

"September!" Mu Chen said, "It will take some time for the preliminary preparation and the actor's schedule." ”

Li Ruoxi nodded.

The biggest difficulty of this film is probably the adjustment of the actors' schedules.

"Guardian League" is definitely the film with the strongest cast of all time. Even the main theme movies with all-star lineups in China are difficult to compare.

Not to mention anything else, international first-line stars are at least double digits.

This is also an important reason why this film will become the largest investment.
