"Ip Man" became popular, but Mu Chen was ridiculed by netizens as a strict wife, and Li Ruoxi happily forwarded the post.

Zhao Jin and Wang Hao and others who have a good relationship with Mu Chen also directly posted on Weibo to ridicule.

Mu Chen did not direct "Ip Man", let alone play Ip Man.

But in the eyes of netizens, he is the screenwriter of this movie, so the role of Ip Man was created by him.

How to shape?

Art comes from life! Then some of the characteristics of Ip Man were shaped by Mu Chen with himself as the prototype.

This statement has been recognized by countless people.

Mu Chen was a little crying and laughing, but he didn't deny it, and he didn't bother to deny it.

If your wife is strict, your wife will be strict!

He knew that the ridicule of those netizens was not malicious.

"Ip Man" became popular, both word-of-mouth and box office exceeded the expectations of Yuan Hong and others, and even Mu Chen was surprised.

What was the box office of the original version, Mu Chen didn't know. Different worlds, different release times, and different market potentials, naturally have no reference value.

However, the box office is definitely much more than the original.

Since the second day, this film has been the top of the single-day box office list, and the film schedule has now become the highest.

If there is no accident, the box office of this film can exceed 500 million, breaking the box office record of kung fu films set by "Jingwu Heroes". If the impact of the new films released later is not big, the box office will only be higher.

How much does Ip Man invest?

It's only tens of millions. There are 200 million at the box office, and that is to make money. Now that the box office has exceeded 500 million, the profit brought to Dawn Film and Television has exceeded 100 million.

And this is only the domestic box office revenue, in addition to the foreign box office revenue, as well as copyright revenue.

The foreign box office, Europe and the United States and other places, may be limited, but the southeast and other places are still very optimistic.

This film can bring at least 200 million revenue to Dawn Film and Television.

In this way, Mu Chen's previous talk about the world of national art movies has undoubtedly become possible.

Of course, how far it can be filmed in the end depends on how well the follow-up film works.

However, a sequel to "Ip Man" is imperative.

Of course, the sequel shooting will certainly not be too rushed. Yuan Hong is now thinking about what to shoot with Chen Fuhai next.

Yuan Hong was full of confidence at this time, and he was ambitious for Mu Chen's idea of the national art film world.

"Ip Man" became popular, and netizens ridiculed Mu Chen for being at the top of the topic list, which shows that the role of Ip Man is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Yuan Cheng's popularity soared with this film and became another popular kung fu star after Mu Ze.

Peers are enemies.

Many people don't understand why Mu Chen will hold out Yuan Cheng, aren't they afraid of threatening Mu Ze?

is also a kung fu actor, in the eyes of many people, Yuan Cheng's explosion will inevitably affect Mu Ze.

As Cheng Jie and Li Long gradually grew older, Mu Ze's status in the film and television industry gradually became prominent.

But now, Yuan Cheng's popularity has soared, and many films are no longer irreplaceable for Mu Ze.

Could it be that the two brothers Muchen and Muze fell out?

They fell out?

This is obviously impossible.

Starring Mu Ze and directed by Mu Chen, "Wolf Warrior 2" has just been completed.

Did Yuan Cheng influence Mu Ze?

There may be a slight impact, but it's definitely not big, or even negligible.

Mu Ze has gradually formed his own style, an action style that is different from Li Long Chengjie, and his position in the circle has been stabilized.

Yuan Cheng was on fire, and he couldn't grab Mu Ze's resources.

The reason why Mu Chen came up with "Ip Man" to praise Yuan Cheng is not only because he has a good relationship with Yuan Hong, but also because Mu Ze no longer needs to appear in these films.

What's more, Mu Ze plays "Ip Man", and many fans may be easy to play when they watch it.

Yuan Cheng is on fire, but there is still a long way to go before Mu Ze.

With Mu Chen and Dawn Film and Television, it is impossible for Yuan Cheng to pose a threat to Mu Ze.

September is undoubtedly a schedule for "Ip Man".

Of course, this film became popular and also set off a wave of Wing Chun fever.

This month, Mu Chen was busy with post-production and the preparation of "East Becomes West".

On Friday, September 30, "Infernal Affairs 2" was released.

"Infernal Affairs" is the biggest winner of the Spring Festival file, and now after a few months, the sequel is released, which naturally inevitably attracts criticism, saying that it is a work that makes money.

The sequel is inevitably suspected of making money, not to mention that the sequel will be released after a few months.

However, the influence of "Infernal Affairs" is still there, and the ending is in suspense, and the sequel is released, which naturally arouses the favor of many "Infernal Affairs fans".

It's just that what disappoints them is that this sequel is not a follow-up, but a predecessor.

Despite this, the reputation of this film is not inferior to the first one. Even, it is considered by many media and critics to be a benchmark for sequel films.

How many sequels in the world can break out of the framework of the first episode and have a bigger mind?

"Infernal Affairs" is a classic that reflects human nature, and "Infernal Affairs 2" is an epic of gangsters of the broken generation. In the land of Xiangjiang, the history of the great era, the structure of "Infernal Affairs 2" almost stirred the heart of the entire Xiangjiang movie.

"Infernal Affairs 2" also became popular, and both word-of-mouth and box office harvested.

The two young actors Gu Feng and Yu Ting, who played Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, naturally rose and soared in popularity.

Yu Ting is undoubtedly lucky, if it weren't for Xie Zhen's "big name" being replaced by Mu Chen, how could he have such an opportunity.

Now, he has become one of the most potential and hottest young actors in Xiangjiang, but Xie Zhen has disappeared.

There are rumors in the circle that it is said that Director Mu Chen is the big man Chu Yuhua, and the relationship is not ordinary.

Xie Zhen offended Mu Chen and was hidden by British Union Film and Television.

Xie Zhen's incident undoubtedly made many actors in the circle vigilant.

After the release of "Infernal Affairs 2", "Ip Man" was painted within two days, and the final box office exceeded 600 million, which is very gratifying. And this film was released in Southeast Asia and other regions, and the box office was also extremely good.

More than expected at the time of release.

"Do you think "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs 2" will become opponents at the Golden Dragon Awards?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and smiled.

Both films have an excellent reputation, and both have the potential to compete for the Golden Dragon Award.

"Who knows!" Mu Chen shook his head and said.

"When is "East Becomes West" ready to start?" Chen Fuhai asked.

"There is still a little bit in the later stage of "Wolf Warrior 2", let's get it done first, and then talk about it, at most it will be half a month. Mu Chen then said.

"I inquired, and the competition for this year's Spring Festival stalls is not ordinary. Chen Fuhai said.

Mu Chen looked over and waited for his next words.

"Extreme Film and Television's "Mountains and Seas" and Guangzheng Pictures' "Zhao's" will all be released during this year's Spring Festival. Chen Fuhai said.

Whether it is Extreme Film and Television, Guangzheng Pictures, they are all domestic first-line film and television companies.

"Mountains and Seas" is a super production with an investment of more than 400 million yuan in Extreme Film and Television, and a magical film created based on the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

This record-breaking film is undoubtedly the most powerful, and the cast is also extremely amazing.

Now there is still a long way to go before the Spring Festival, but the publicity has been rolled out, and news comes out from time to time.

Around the Spring Festival, you can imagine how amazing the publicity will be.

The other "Zhao's" is a story about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the investment is not as good as "Mountains and Seas", but it is as high as 200 million.

The gimmick of this film is quite similar to the magical epic of "Mountains and Seas".

War Epic!

are all epic films, and the investment is so large, the publicity will naturally be overwhelming.

Of course, whether it can afford to be "epic" will not be known until the film is released.

Chen Fuhai is very optimistic about "East Becomes West", but in the face of these two films, it is inevitable that he is a little lacking in confidence.

It is estimated that in the face of these two films, there are few self-confidences.

Chen Fuhai was also a little lucky.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is undoubtedly correct that it is not arranged in the Spring Festival. It's not that I'm afraid of those two films, there's really no need to fight to the death with them.

It is not a secret that Extreme Film and Guangzheng Pictures are deadly in the circle.

The blockbusters of the two film and television companies are often released at the same time.

This time you win, next time I win.

However, in Chen Fuhai's opinion, the two of them did not win.

was released at the same time, and the box office of each other was undoubtedly affected.

Why bother?

"The Spring Festival file needs a comedy. Mu Chen smiled and said.

No matter how loud the momentum of those two films is, Mu Chen's confidence is still there.

Chen Fuhai nodded, thoughtful.

The audience base of comedy is undoubtedly huge, and it is also suitable for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

What's more, "East Becomes West" is not uncompetitive.

Perhaps, it is not as elaborate as those two films, but the cast and topicality are not worse than those two films.

The plan is still the same.

"Infernal Affairs 2" continues to be the single-day box office champion and will surely become the biggest winner of the National Day file.

However, I don't know if it's because of the cast and schedule, it's a little difficult for the box office of this film to reach the height of the first part.

Of course, even if it can't be reached, the difference will not be too big, and this film will bring much more profits to Dawn Film and Television than "Ip Man".

Half a month later, the post-production of "Wolf Warrior 2" was completed.

"Infernal Affairs 2" has also lost its position as the single-day box office champion, but it is still in the top three, and the box office has exceeded one billion at this time.

However, new films continue to be released, and the schedule of "Infernal Affairs 2" is also decreasing.

As previously estimated, it is impossible to surpass the box office of the first part.

In this way, it is also far beyond expectations.

"East Becomes West" is about to start filming!

Mu Chen's new film is about to start filming, and as soon as the news came out, many people felt stunned.

This new film is too sudden.

Moreover, to the surprise of many people, Mu Chen's new film is no longer as low-key as before, but a grand launch conference was held.

Mu Ze's abnormal behavior naturally attracted countless media reporters.

And when those media reporters came to the scene, they were shocked.

""East Becomes West" launch conference!"

The name of Mu Chen's new film is "East Becomes West"?

It's a bit of a strange name!

However, seeing Dean Yan's lineup on the stage, everyone's eyes widened.

Mu Ze, Li Ruoxi, Li Yunyi, Su Xiaowan, Miao Xun, Jiang Qin, Zhao Jin......

These are all popular stars!

This cast is exploding!

All-star cast!

Mu Chen, what are you going to do? I'm going to make a big move.

But with such a big move, why didn't you even reveal a little wind before?

"Wolf Warrior 2" has an investment of more than 200 million, and the cast is difficult to compare.

This cast, I'm afraid even "Mountains and Seas" is difficult to compare.

Dawn Film and Television has abundant funds, and Mu Chen wants to make a big investment film, and no one doubts its ability.

It's just that it's too sudden!

"Welcome to the launch conference of "East Becomes West". Mu Chen looked at the audience, saw countless reporters raising their hands, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there will be time to ask questions later." ”

"'East Becomes West' is a work that I wrote and will be directed by me. As for the actors, you have already seen it, let's first ask them to say a few words and introduce the roles they play. ”

"I played Ouyang Feng in "East Becomes West". Mu Ze sat next to Mu Chen and was the first to speak.

"I play the role of the third princess. Li Ruoxi, who was on the other side of Mu Chen, spoke next.

"I play Huang Yaoshi. ”

"I play the role of Duan Wangye. ”

"I play Hong Qi. ”

"I play Zhou Botong. ”

......

Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qi......

These names are undoubtedly familiar to journalists.

They thought of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Could it be that this "East Becomes West" is the movie version of "Condor" and "Condor Shooting"?

Or is it simply the last part of the "Condor Trilogy"?

The "Condor Trilogy" is not an groundless rumor, but comes from the mouth of Xu Lin, the director of "Condor Shooting" and "Condor".

However, what is Jiang Qin's operation as Zhou Botong?

Jiang Qin's popularity is not low now, after "Bright Sword", she starred in "Shooting the Condor" Mu Nianci, and not long ago, the heroine of "Ip Man" made her popular.

Such a big beauty, actually played the role of an old naughty boy?

No kidding!

If there are many doubts, they breed in the hearts of many media reporters.

"Director Mu, is this "East Becomes West" the last part of the 'Condor Shooting' trilogy?" a reporter asked.

"It's not!"

Mu Chen said very simply.

No?

And then what?

Then Mu Chen didn't say anything more.

Are you hanging your appetite for this one?

"Is this film the film version of "The Condor" and "The Condor?" another reporter asked.

"No! There is no Guo Jing or Yang Guo in "East Becomes West". Mu Chen continued.

"Is that a prequel to Shooting the Condor?"

A reporter then said.

"Well, how do you say it?" Mu Chen chuckled and said, "The story of the characters in the East and the West is an interesting story about the evil and the poisonous characters when they were young. ”

"Director Mu, may I ask what is your budget for this movie?"

A reporter asked.

With such a cast, the salary alone is an astonishing figure.

Of course, most of these actors are actors from Dawn Film and Television, but even if they are greatly discounted, there are many of them.

What's more, with such a cast, is it possible to make a small-budget film?

Mu Chen filmed, and the actors' salaries accounted for a very small proportion.

This is his habit, and everyone does not think that this film will break it.

"Budget, you can spend as much as you want. Mu Chen thought about it and said.

Actually, this film has a budget.

It's just that Mu Chen's every time he shoots a lot more than budget. Whether the budget is budget or not, it doesn't really mean much to him.

When everyone heard this, they were a little stunned.

What is this called?

In other words, the investment in this film is unlimited.

I'm afraid that in the entire film and television industry, whether at home or abroad, I'm afraid only Mu Chen will do this, dare to do this?

When encountering such a director, will the producer cry?

There seems to be no need to cry.

Mu Chen is the director and the boss!

Each of his works is invested by himself. Even if it is in cooperation with other film and television companies, that is dominant.

Regardless of the cost, aren't you afraid of investing too much and losing money?

"Director Mu, when will the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" be released, will it be in the Spring Festival, and can its box office exceed the box office of the sequel to "Infernal Affairs"?"

"Wolf Warrior 2" has not yet been released, and Mu Chen can't wait to shoot this film, which is naturally curious.

This film seems to be a bit rushed.

Many people vaguely feel that "Wolf Warrior 2" does not seem to be ready to fight for the Spring Festival.

They thought it would be earlier, but they didn't think it would be postponed.

"At the launch conference of "East Becomes West", is it appropriate for us to talk about "Wolf Warrior 2"?" Mu Chen smiled, "I can answer you this question, but stop there!"

""Wolf Warrior 2" is expected to meet you next summer, as for whether it can exceed the box office of the sequel to "Infernal Affairs", it depends on whether fans give face. However, I am confident in the quality of Wolf Warrior 2. ”

Confident in quality?

When these words reached the media reporters, they naturally became confident at the box office.

Mu Chen is confident that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" will exceed that of "Infernal Affairs 2".

"Director Mu, is "East Becomes West" a martial arts film? The cast is so strong, the investment must be not small, how can you ensure that you can earn back the cost? After all, the martial arts film market does not seem to be very good today. ”

"My films never think about whether they can recoup the cost, but how much they make. Mu Chen smiled, "I'm very confident in this film." This film is not strictly a martial arts film, but a comedy. Well, a very interesting comedy. ”

If this film is a martial arts film, it is simply a blasphemy of martial arts films.

Huang Yaoshi and Duan Wangye's finger flick battle is clearly a shootout, and it can't be clearer to tell the audience how the new martial arts movie was made.

As for funny clips such as "Affectionate Knife" and "Eyebrows and Eyes", they are a mockery of the entire new martial arts movie.

The old naughty boy practiced the swordsmanship of warding off evil spirits and was not clean with his senior brother, the sissy Nandi finally ascended to heaven and became Jigong, and the Nine Yin True Scripture was originally engraved on the toilet, and a lot of ridicule like this is very funny.

This movie is not so much a martial arts film as a comedy that mocks martial arts films.

At the launch conference of "East Becomes West", in addition to Mu Chen, there are many popular stars, and they are naturally asked by media reporters.

Perhaps because Mu Chen is a screenwriter and director, he has relatively more problems.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Mu Chen's strong topicality.

The launch event was undoubtedly a great success.

Countless media outlets have reported on this, but with a different focus.

And this matter has also caused a great heated discussion on the Internet.
