Chapter 461: Hard to Compare
Li Ruoxi's literary film lasted for three days, and the box office fell sharply, which can be described as a high start and a low walk.
But even so, it has attracted the attention of the entire film and television industry.
This film has raised the box office record of literary films a lot.
Maybe double.
Although it can't be compared with those commercial blockbusters, it is amazing that there is such a box office in China.
The film has also been released abroad.
The box office in North America is miserable, and the box office in Europe and other places is relatively good, especially in countries and regions with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere, such as France, the box office is still unexpected.
Of course, it is also relative to other literary films, and no matter how unexpected the box office is, it is still difficult to compare with commercial films.
"Everyone praises you for your fiery eyes!" Mu Chen said to Li Ruoxi with a smile.
"What a sharp eye, but luck is relieved. Li Ruoxi shook her head and said.
Muchen has a very high market vision, which is almost universally recognized.
Li Ruoxi invested in this art film, and the vision he showed undoubtedly blinded everyone. However, Li Ruoxi knows very well that the reason why she invests is not because she thinks that this film can win awards and the box office is high.
She doesn't have that vision!
She still has this self-knowledge.
But even so, Li Ruoxi was still quite happy.
At least, this drama was discovered by her and put it on the big screen.
"Then you're still going to change careers to producers?" Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Can't you?" Li Ruoxi said.
"Oh, of course. Mu Chen shook his head and said.
The domestic box office of this literary film is afraid to break 400 million, and the foreign box office is tens of millions of dollars. The total box office is estimated to be 780 million Chinese dollars, plus other copyright income, it is estimated that there will be more than 200 million yuan.
And this film was invested by Li Ruoxi alone.
The investment of 10 million, the income of 200 million, and the rate of return of 20 times are undoubtedly extremely amazing.
Of course, if Li Ruoxi's salary is counted, then say something else.
"This film made me feel a different sense of accomplishment. Li Ruoxi said, "Or a greater sense of achievement." ”
"One more discerning eye!" Mu Chen smiled and said in one sentence.
The movies starring Li Ruoxi in the past have a much higher box office than this one, and they are not without award-winning films.
But she is just a leading actor, and the credit is not big.
And this film, she doesn't say that she has the greatest credit and ranks first, but she definitely has more credit than those previous films, and the sense of achievement is naturally greater.
When everyone mentions this film, they will say that it was excavated by her Li Ruoxi's discernment.
If it weren't for her, the film might have been buried.
It seems more rewarding to dig up a buried good movie than to star in a good movie.
When Li Ruoxi heard this, she smiled.
"You're not going to gradually retreat into the background, are you?" Mu Chen suddenly asked.
"I don't have that idea yet. Li Ruoxi shook her head and said, "When you are a producer, do you have to retreat into the background and not be able to act?"
"That's too. Mu Chen nodded.
Regardless of whether Li Ruoxi has the intention of retreating into the background, Mu Chen supports it.
In fact, as you get older, the restrictions on actresses will inevitably increase.
is like Li Ruoxi, who is extremely well maintained, and exercises regularly, and does not look old at all, but after all, he is in his thirties, if he is a student, a girl in the flower season or something, fans are preconceived, and it is inevitable that people will feel embarrassed.
Youth films, now they can't act. In a few years, when I am over forty years old, I am afraid that even many romance films are a little inappropriate.
Then every few years, he played the role of mother, aunt, and grandmother......
Li Ruoxi may not be willing to play these roles.
Actors obviously won't have so many restrictions.
Small fresh meat is popular, and uncles are also very marketable. There are a lot of people controlled by the uncle.
Men, the older you get, the more you taste.
Li Ruoxi's literary film is still being released, and the box office is naturally worse day by day. And "Guoshu Boy" was released on May Day, and now the publicity has reached the stage where it is in full swing.
Mu Chen's "Home Alone" started the child star fever, and this film has naturally attracted attention after a long period of publicity.
The film has not yet been released, but the wedding of Wang Hao and Huo Ting has arrived.
The wedding of the two, no matter how busy Mu Chen is, he will take the time to participate.
Maybe it's Huo Ting's family, so this wedding is not heavy, and it is held abroad, although it is still in the hotel of Wansheng Group, but it is quite low-key.
At least, it is more low-key than the wedding of Mu Chen and Zhao Jin.
It's low-key, but it's not simple, and it's certainly not luxurious, or it can't be luxurious.
Wang Hao is generous, but he is definitely not the master of extravagance and waste.
The same goes for Huo Ting.
"Now you're the only one left, more than thirty people, hurry up and find a suitable woman to get married!" Li Ruolin said to Ma Lin with a smile.
At the banquet, several of them naturally sat together.
The wine and food are all top-notch, but Mu Chen and the others are not attracted by these.
They didn't eat less.
What's more, after Marin, they had already eaten almost.
"My old man hasn't even urged me yet!" Marin pouted, "Why, you can't help but want to give money! Give now, not counting your economic development, inflation bonus. ”
"What about economic development and inflation?" Li Ruolin heard this, and then smiled, "It's as if you get married late, and we will give you more money." ”
"In order to get more money from us, you actually got married late?" Zhao Jin said with a smile, "When did you become so wealthy?"
This is undoubtedly a joke.
"You have to have a partner before you get married!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "How are you and that Yang Min?"
As soon as Mu Chen's words came out, everyone looked at Ma Lin, and a gossip soul burned brightly.
"Not how. Marin pouted.
At this time, he already regretted testing Yang Min a little.
This temptation was almost over, if it weren't for Jiang Qin's good words, I'm afraid there would be no hope at all.
But even so, Marin felt that he was out of action.
Hey, he's really not looking for someone to forget about his ex after falling out of love.
He really had a good impression of that Yang Min.
It's just a good feeling, maybe I think she's quite suitable for marriage.
Indeed, if Marin falls in love again now, he will be going to get married.
"Why, do you want my brother to teach you a few tricks, you must know my ......" Li Ruolin said, but he felt a murderous aura rising next to him, and saw a smile on the corner of Mu Chen's mouth opposite him, with an expression of watching a play, and immediately reacted.
"What are you? Xia Zhiyun said.
Li Ruolin's emotional history is richer than Wang Hao's.
The girlfriends he made are estimated to be able to form a reinforcement company.
He is really good at chasing girls, and he teaches Marin two tricks, which is fully qualified.
He has enough capital to brag about this, but it's a pity that the playboy of the year is now being manipulated by Xia Zhiyun, and he has long since stopped messing with flowers and grass everywhere.
The history of romance in the past, under the high level of Xia Zhiyun, has become a promotion.
"No, nothing!"
Li Ruolin hurriedly waved his hand and said. The hero does not mention the courage of the year.
Well, I can't mention it.
When everyone saw it, they smiled.
It's really a thing for a thing.
Perhaps, what can make a man's prodigal son turn back is true love!
Isn't Wang Hao the same?
Ma Lin subconsciously glanced at Wang Hao, who was greeting guests not far away.
He was the best man for this wedding, but after toasting with the newlyweds, there was nothing to do, so he sat down to eat with Mu Chen and the others.
"Do you think "Guoshu Kid" will be as explosive as "Home Alone"?"
Marin didn't want to talk about his personal issues, so he changed the subject and asked.
"Burst, it's estimated to explode. However, it is unlikely that it will be as explosive as "Home Alone". Zhao Jin shook his head and said.
Everyone nodded, and then looked at Mu Chen.
The reason why "Home Alone" is a big hit, in addition to the film itself, Mu Chen's personal signature still plays a great role. Even, the North American box office is so amazing, and it is not unrelated to the increased exposure of the topic that Mu Chen made at that time.
"Guoshu Kid" is not small now, but it is difficult to compare with the original "Home Alone".
What's more, whether it is a director or an actor, there is a big difference.
The young actors may be acting in movies for the first time, but Mu Qing, as the son of Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan, has a high degree of attention.
And the two little actors in "Guoshu Boy" are obviously much worse in this regard.
They don't have the parents of international superstars.
"Why are you looking at me?" Mu Chen saw everyone looking at him and said, "I've seen the film, and the quality is good." However, this film is also an attempt, and I'm really not too sure if fans will like it. ”
"We're not the media, so why bother talking so tactfully. Marin pouted.
Mu Chen's answer has some "official" flavor.
"That is, even if you say the wrong thing and slap your face, will we still laugh at you. Zhao Jin also said with a smile.
"The domestic box office broke one billion, I guess it's still possible. Mu Chen shook his head and said, "I really can't see the box office abroad! ”
"Billion?" Li Ruolin said, "Are you going to be more conservative?"
"Which movie was not made by Mu Chen. Xia Zhiyun said.
Li Ruolin thought about it and knew it.
He had a strong interest in "Home Alone", but he really didn't have any interest in that "National Art Kid".
"A billion, in fact, is already very good. Zhao Jin said, "If I remember that film correctly, the investment should be less than 100 million!"
Mu Chen nodded and said, "More than 60 million! plus the publicity fee, it is less than 100 million." ”
With an investment of more than 60 million, it can only be regarded as a small-budget movie today.
Hundreds of millions are considered medium production. If you invest less than 500 million, you are embarrassed to say that your film is a blockbuster.
Chinese films have gone international, and the scale of investment has gradually been in line with Hollywood.
However, the same film costs less in Huaxia.
"I'm very interested in this film, but it's a pity that Wang Hao went on his honey......moon after marriage," Jiang Qin suddenly smiled and said.
When she said this, everyone looked at Mu Chen with a smile.
That means nothing more than that.
"Yes, I'll charter the venue and invite you to watch it!" Mu Chen pouted and said, "It seems that you still have a little bit of money for movie tickets." ”
It's just a movie to watch, and it doesn't cost a few bucks.
Perhaps, he invited Ma Lin and others to watch it, and he could use it to hype it up!
