Chapter 368: The Second Bullet of Superheroes
Are there any actors in Hollywood who will play big names in front of Mu Chen?
It's hard to say what this estimate is.
At least not the Avengers actors, though.
Those actors may be indispensable in secret intrigue, but on the surface, they are still angry.
Especially Li Ruoxi and Mu Ze, they get along very happily with everyone.
Those people will not fight with them, but will have some subconscious currying.
The film "Men in Black" is still very attractive to many domestic fans.
Liu Guohua and Zhao Jin's box office appeal is already good, and there are Yu Yun directed, Mu Chen screenwriter and producer on it.
On the first day of release, the box office exceeded 200 million, winning the single-day box office championship, and its reputation was also extremely good, with an initial score of nearly nine points on the Golden Dragon Movie.
Even if there is a drop in the back, it is definitely above 8.5 points.
This is a film that is different from previous science fiction films, in which the human beings on Earth are no longer so weak.
It seems that there is no old routine of science fiction movies with aliens in the past, which has made many fans shine.
On the second day of release, the box office increased instead of decreasing, and the single-day box office almost broke 300 million.
With a two-day box office of 500 million, it may not look so amazing now, but it is definitely a popular film.
Mu Chen heard this, but he just smiled.
He is not surprised that there is such a box office in China.
A week later, "Men in Black" landed in North America, and the domestic box office had already exceeded one billion Chinese dollars.
The film has already begun to make a profit.
The film was released in North America and had a mediocre start, although it was in the top five of the single-day box office, but it was only more than $10 million.
Such a box office is undoubtedly low among Mu Chen's many films.
However, the film's reputation is excellent.
It's not uncommon for films to be well-received.
Many media began to sing the praises of this film, including many domestic media.
However, when the North American box office came out the next day, it shocked many people.
The single-day box office directly exceeded 20 million, rushing into the third place in the single-day box office list in North America.
The voice of decay then came to an abrupt end.
Immediately afterwards, the film counterattacked all the way, and on the fourth day of its release, it directly won the single-day box office champion.
Such a counterattack film undoubtedly shocked countless people.
Especially domestic filmmakers, all of them were stunned in disbelief, and some of them ridiculed on Weibo that "Men in Black" was cold abroad and became the first film to suffer a setback at the box office abroad for Mu Chen's screenwriting works.
There are even those who are unashamed to assert that this is just the beginning.
But who would have thought that the film would counterattack.
This big face is coming so fast!
Mu Chen's previous films, although there were occasional times when they did not decrease but increased, but in just one or two days, they never grew like this, and the drama of counterattack was released.
Of course, "Men in Black" counterattacked and won the championship, a big reason is that this schedule is not a good schedule in North America, because there are no blockbusters.
"Men in Black" won the single-day box office championship, and the single-day box office was only nearly 30 million.
However, with the current box office trend of "Men in Black", it is possible to break $300 million in North America.
This box office is undoubtedly excellent for today's Chinese-language films.
Of course, not all of Mu Chen's works have a high box office abroad.
For example, Ma Lin's "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu", although these two films are sought after by many foreign fans, the foreign box office is really not very conspicuous.
It's just that everyone can see that those two films are not aimed at the international market.
But "Men in Black" is different.
Everyone can see that this film is aimed at the international market.
"Men in Black" was a big hit in North America, which was undoubtedly a surprise for Mu Chen.
After all, Mu Chen was ready to shoot into a series of movies from the beginning.
If the box office of the first film is too shabby, the sequel will naturally end without a problem.
However, now that Dawn Film and Television has one more gold-absorbing series of movies.
Mu Chen was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't pay much attention.
He's still making his own films.
There are a lot of special effects in "The Avengers", and many shots are shot in the studio.
For example, in the final battle, it is impossible to shoot on location in New York.
In that case, the production cost would have to double.
Of course, not all of the films are shot on the inside, but also on location, but there are relatively few of them.
"The Man in Black" counterattacked and won the championship, but Mu Ze's role was completed immediately.
This is about the same as expected.
"When will you go back?" Mu Chen asked Mu Ze.
"Tonight's flight. Mu Ze said with a smile.
"So urgent?" Mu Chen was stunned for a moment.
"Your sister-in-law is already in the hospital. It is estimated that it will only be a matter of one or two days. Mu Ze said with a smile.
"It's okay!" Mu Chen then said, "I'll let Cheng Ting send you." ”
Mu Ze's role is finished, and there are not many other people's scenes.
Within a few days, "Men in Black" won the weekly box office championship, and Li Ruoxi's role was completed immediately.
Li Ruoxi's role was completed, and she did not stay with the crew any longer, nor did she wait for Mu Chen, but took the lead in returning to China.
She is abroad and still has a lot of work, and "Tomb Raider" is almost ready, and the start of filming is imminent.
However, before work, I had to go to the hospital to see Su Xiaowan's mother and daughter.
On the first day of Li Ruoxi's role, Mu Chen received a call from Mu Ze that Su Xiaowan gave birth to a daughter, and the mother and daughter were safe.
Mu Ze named it: Mu Lan!
Mu Chen thought it was blue, and he couldn't help but complain.
Who made his son Mu Qing?
The filming went more and more smoothly, and in mid-November, "The Avengers", which had been filmed for more than two months, was completed.
This was much earlier than expected.
At this time, "Men in Black" was released for more than a month, and the world gradually drew pictures.
The domestic box office exceeded 2 billion Chinese dollars, the North American box office exceeded 300 million US dollars, and the global box office exceeded 800 million US dollars.
It was much higher than Mu Chen's expectations.
It's also much more than the original box office. However, if you count the expansion of the film market, inflation, etc., this box office should be a little inferior to the box office of more than 500 million in the original version.
However, Mu Chen is still satisfied with this box office.
After all, whether it is Liu Guohua or Zhao Jin, it is difficult to compare with the original actors.
"The Avengers" was completed, and Mu Chen did not return to China immediately, but stayed in Dream Pictures.
He first watched the post-production of "The Lord of the Rings 1".
Although the film is not yet complete, Mu Chen can see that it has a classic appearance.
Steve was extremely attentive to the film.
However, not only did that guy overbudget a lot, but he was also extremely slow.
Does slow work make for fine work?
Now it seems that there is no chance of being released at the end of the year.
Of course, even if it can be released, there is no chance.
It is unlikely that this film will be released at the same time as "Iron Man 2".
Of course, Mu Chen stayed, and the most important thing was to discuss the arrangement of the second phase of the movie universe.
The second stage is also the beginning of "Iron Man 3".
In addition to the original Thor 2, Captain America 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as Avengers 2 and Ant-Man, Spider-Man and Hulk 2 have been added.
"The Incredible Hulk" was unexpected at the box office, and it became logical to shoot a sequel.
The story of this sequel is still in the works.
However, there is also a general context.
The time point is placed after "The Avengers", because of the appearance of Li Ruoxi and Mu Ze, Banner went to Huaxia to find a better way to control himself than Indian yoga.
This is in "The Avengers", Mu Chen also laid the foreshadowing.
In the original version, on the sky aircraft carrier, Hulk is difficult to control, chasing Black Widow, and fighting Thor, that look, it is completely irrational, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
Then, during the Battle of New York, he not only distinguished himself from the enemy, but finally followed the falling Iron Man, and woke him up with a roar.
Of course, this may be due to the Mind Gem on Loki's Scepter, but it is still a little abrupt.
Mu Chen felt a little abrupt, so in the film, Mu Ze taught him some methods of refining gods, so that he could keep his sanity in the later battle.
However, Mu Ze was not good at refining the method of gods, he only got a little fur from his girlfriend.
If that cultivation method is useful, then let Banner go to Huaxia to find him.
In Mu Ze's first solo movie "Martial God", it is mentioned that the heroine played by Su Xiaowan is a superhero with strong mental power because of the soul gem.
At the end of the film, Su Xiaowan was sent to the master's door to practice and learn how to control the powerful soul power.
And those methods are undoubtedly useful for Banner.
Of course, the reason why Mu Chen set it up like this and put the background of the story in China naturally has the meaning of introducing Chinese superheroes, and it also intends to integrate Chinese elements into the film.
When Banner came to Huaxia and was courteous to the director of the Special Management Bureau, he naturally had the intention of soliciting.
However, the Authority is not interested in Banner's transformed Hulk, but his identity as a physicist.
In the eyes of the director of the Special Administration, Banner's greatest value is also here.
He shouldn't be taken for a warrior!
He is a scientist.
Banner didn't refuse, but he didn't agree.
In this regard, the director of the special management bureau did not force him.
The protagonist is naturally the Hulk, and the heroine is Su Xiaowan, who has achieved a lot of learning. Mu Ze will also appear at the end of the film, fighting alongside Hulk.
A superhero film is naturally indispensable to the villain.
And the villain in this film, Mu Chen is set by the Hell Demon Clan.
is the same as the villain in "Kunlun".
In the film "Kunlun", Kunlun fights, although he drove the hell devil back to hell and sealed the entrance again.
However, there are still demons sneaking into the world.
The devil's trail reappeared, and Mu Ze pursued.
While Banner learned some methods of refining gods from Su Xiaowan, he also entered a scientific research institution under the Special Administration Bureau because of Su Xiaowan's relationship and participated in a certain research.
And the devil that Mu Ze is looking for is in the research institution.
The clever devil has come to the Secret Service under the dark.
The devil inadvertently discovered that the transformed Hulk had a strong bloodline, which had a powerful boosting effect on him.
So, he lured Banner and got Hulk's genes, and then integrated into his own body, and his power soared.
In the end, everyone joined forces to kill the devil who had become stronger.
