Chapter 366: Filming is about to start
"Good!"
Mu Chen finished watching the finished film of "Iron Man 2", nodded and said.
The director of this film is the assistant director of the first film, and also makes a cameo appearance as Tony Stark's personal bodyguard in the film.
This is also a cameo role for the original director.
Although he is a director, he seems to be a bit keen on acting, and his acting skills are not bad, and he often appears as an actor in other films.
"Director Mu, can I be the assistant director of the film "The Avengers"?" George Favreau looked at Mu Chen and said with some expectation.
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
"Okay!"
Mu Chen nodded, naturally he would not refuse.
Georges Favreau's directing skills are still very high. If he is the assistant director of the film, it will undoubtedly make him much easier.
This can be seen from the "Iron Man 2" directed by him.
A good assistant director is also very important for a director.
However, Mu Chen inevitably had some doubts.
He believes that after the release of "Iron Man 2", I am afraid that there will be an endless stream of film and television companies looking for him to direct.
There was no need for him to come and be an assistant director.
After all, the director and the assistant director, those are completely two statuses and treatments.
"Are you wondering if George recommended you to be an assistant director?" Harvey looked at Mu Chen with a smile.
Mu Chen nodded and looked over.
That's where he's smart. Harvey said with a smile, "Among the many directors in the world, you are definitely among the top directors, especially in 3D films, no one can beat it." Nowadays, 3D movies are all the rage, and many things are still being explored, but you are ahead of everyone. George learned a lot from you when he was filming Iron Man. ”
"Not all directors will be as patient as you are to solve his doubts. Harvey continued, "What's more, if you shoot "Avengers 2" in the future, you don't direct it yourself like "Iron Man 2", and he, as an assistant director, will undoubtedly have an advantage in front of other competitors." ”
When you think about it, it seems to be the same.
Mu Chen really didn't plan to direct "Avengers 2" himself, and even when George recommended himself as an assistant director, he already liked him a little.
Although he is a little scheming, Mu Chen likes self-motivated people like him.
Why Mu Chen has all the questions to George, maybe it's just habitual, but it doesn't rule out intentional cultivation.
Marvel movies, so many films, Mu Chen can't finish shooting alone.
George is among the many directors in Hollywood, at most he is a third-tier appearance, and it is absolutely rare to get a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars like "Iron Man 2".
Perhaps, after the release of this film, he will receive a lot of invitations, but he is still a certain distance away from a first-line director, and he needs some good directing works.
Actors need good work, and so do directors.
"If he has the ability, it doesn't matter if he directs "Avengers 2". Mu Chen said with a smile.
"You're really not going to direct a second part?" asked Harvey.
If there are many directors, Harvey has the most confidence in whom, it is Mu Chen.
Aside from his own abilities, the conception of the cinematic universe, the setting of superheroes, etc., which one did not involve Mu Chen?
He undoubtedly knows the most about this series of movies.
It's a pity that he lacks skills, but he is ambitious.
He not only wants to create many superheroes in the United States, but also wants to create many superheroes in China.
People's energy is limited, so many films, Mu Chen can't shoot at all.
If she shoots one by one, I'm afraid the structure has not yet been completed, and those actors are already old.
Therefore, Mu Chen had to give up many superheroes to other directors.
And among these superheroes, Harvey also knows that Mu Chen attaches more importance to Huaxia.
He also saw that Mu Chen was preparing to use those Chinese superheroes to create several Chinese international superstars.
Chinese films have made a lot of progress in the world today, but among the Chinese stars, there are few who can be called international superstars.
The distance from Hollywood in this regard is undoubtedly huge.
It's a pity that Mu Chen doesn't direct. Harvey is helpless, who let Mu Chen be his boss?
Although this boss is a little irresponsible, you have to admire his talent, especially his grasp of the film market, which is even more amazing!
What's more, Harvey also agrees with Mu Chen's approach.
If you want to make this cinematic universe work, then the film needs to be coherent. Films can't be separated for too long.
"Transformers" became popular all over the world, and the box office went all the way up.
This is another global blockbuster.
Today, Mu Chen's global cumulative box office has left other directors in the dust.
Mu Chen's high production and high quality make those Hollywood directors who threaten to catch up with Mu Chen despair.
In September, Li Ruoxi and Mu Ze arrived in Los Angeles one after another, and "The Avengers" is about to start.
And "Transformers" has been released for nearly a month, and the box office potential has been almost exhausted.
However, the box office of this film also gave Mu Chen a little shock.
At this time, the domestic box office exceeded 4 billion Chinese dollars, the North American box office exceeded 500 million US dollars, and the global cumulative box office has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars.
This box office should be nearly twice that of the original.
And the release time of this film will be extended, and by the time the next painting is made, the global box office of this film may exceed 1.6 billion US dollars.
This film has brought hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to Dawn Film and Television. If you include the income of peripheral products, it is even more unimaginable.
Today, Transformers toys are selling well all over the world.
"How long is Sister Xiaowan's delivery period?"
Mu Chen picked up Mu Ze at the airport and asked casually.
"What it looks like in mid-October. Mu Ze said.
"That should be in time. Mu Chen nodded and said.
Su Xiaowan was pregnant with a girl for the second time, which made Mu Ze very happy.
A son and a daughter make up a "good" word.
If this drama hadn't been Mu Chen's, and it had been planned a long time ago, Mu Ze might not have accepted it.
Because of filming, I run around, and I rarely think about being at home.
Mu Ze is actually a man who cares about his family very much, how could he not take the time to accompany his wife's due date?
"Can you finish filming in a month?" Mu Ze asked with some surprise.
Generally, the shooting cycle of films is two or three months, and the longer ones may be four or five months, or even half a year.
Especially for blockbusters with this kind of investment, the shooting cycle is generally not short.
"This kind of special effects blockbuster is actually not time-consuming to shoot, mainly in post-production. Mu Chen said with a smile, "What's more, I will take the lead in filming your scene." ”
"There's no need to do that. Mu Ze said, "When the time comes, just move for two days." ”
"Why is it not necessary?" Mu Chen said, "Will it be that my niece will grow up and complain about me being an uncle in the future?"
When Mu Ze heard this, he smiled.
The film "The Avengers" is still very well prepared.
If the shooting goes well, two months should be enough. Moreover, Mu Ze's role in this film is not much.
Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, these four have already released a personal movie.
There is also Black Widow, who will shine in "Iron Man 2".
Mu Ze and Li Ruoxi are new to the city, and they are still helping, if there are too many scenes, it will inevitably dominate the crowd and cause dissatisfaction among other superhero fans.
If so, it is likely to backfire.
Therefore, Li Ruoxi and Mu Ze are very outstanding in the film, but they do not have many scenes, and they do not cover the light of other superheroes.
This measure was calculated by the team after repeated consideration.
On September 5, Mu Chen held a high-profile start-up press conference.
At this press conference, it can be described as a star-studded gathering.
What's more, the popularity of "Transformers" has not completely dissipated, many countries and regions have not yet been painted, cartoons have swept the world like movies, and toys have swept the world.
At this time, Mu Chen's new film held a press conference, which naturally attracted countless media reporters from all over the world.
Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and other actors are now very popular, especially Robert, the actor of Iron Man, has a faint trend of Hollywood A-list stars.
Before that, he was just a third-tier star.
However, among the actors who attended the press conference, Mu Ze was the most famous.
He is definitely an A-list star in Hollywood today.
In addition to Mu Chen's several films, Mu Ze's several films in Hollywood have received extremely good box office responses. Especially the box office in Huaxia, Hollywood saw his box office appeal in Huaxia.
Mu Ze now has an endless stream of film appointments in Hollywood.
However, she is very cautious in taking on the play.
Of course, the fact that he was shot during filming also made him more famous.
And after he recovered from his injury, he continued to shoot that film, but it was also highly praised.
Of course, there must be a credit to Dream Pictures.
Necessary publicity is indispensable.
Although Robert is not as good as Mu Ze now, he is better than Li Ruoxi.
Today's Li Ruoxi has limited international popularity, and he is only second-tier in Hollywood.
Of course, Hollywood's salaries are much higher than those of second-tier stars.
This is undoubtedly due to Li Ruoxi's box office appeal in China.
However, at this time, she is stronger than the actor of Black Widow, and she can be described as the hottest actress at the press conference.
After all, "Iron Man 2" has not yet been released.
The process of the new film's launch conference is almost all the same.
Mu Chen briefly introduced some films, and then each actor also briefly introduced their roles.
Robert and others already have personal movies, and the characters they play naturally know.
Even if it is the role of Black Widow, although "Iron Man 2" has not been released, Black Widow, an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, is still known to many fans.
What is really strange is probably Mu Ze and Li Ruoxi, as well as Eagle Eye.
However, the actor who plays Hawkeye is far inferior to Mu Ze and the others in popularity.
Therefore, Mu Ze and the two of them paid much more attention.
"I'm Mu Ze, I play a superhero from China in "The Avengers", ......"
"I'm Li Ruoxi, and the role I played in the film is also from Huaxia......"
Mu Ze and the others only briefly introduced the characters and did not reveal too much.
They have been in the industry for so long, they don't need to be reminded, and they know how to measure.
"Director Mu, you have gathered so many superheroes in this film, so what is the budget for this film? Is it the most expensive film you directed?"
Then in the question session, a reporter couldn't wait to ask.
The cast of this film is amazing enough, and if nothing else, I'm afraid the salary alone is a staggering figure.
