Chapter 272: Is Mu Chen still good at animated movies?

Mu Ze is definitely young among many big-name actors.

However, he is the actor with the highest cumulative box office in China. Even Li Long and Cheng Jie, who have starred in many films in Hollywood, are not as good as him at the cumulative box office.

And now, he is the first Chinese actor to be shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Actor.

This undoubtedly adds a glorious stroke to his resume.

Perhaps, his international reputation is not as good as Li Long and Cheng Jie, but it is only a matter of time before he surpasses them.

"How do you feel about being nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor?"

"Surprise! Well, some pressure. Mu Ze said, "Regardless of whether I can win the award in the end, I think it is an affirmation of my acting skills." ”

In the words, Mu Ze obviously had no confidence.

He probably doesn't think he can win the Oscar with "Inception".

"Will you go to Hollywood like Cheng Jie and Li Long?"

"If there is a good script, I will definitely take it. Mu Ze thought for a while and said, "However, it shouldn't be possible to talk about the development of Hollywood! Times are different, Chinese films can break out of the country, so Chinese actors naturally don't need to go to Hollywood, and they can have a place in the world." ”

Mu Ze has never been without Hollywood, and now he is also gaining international popularity with Chinese films?

When "I Am Legend" is released, it is estimated that he deserves the title of "international superstar".

Of course, the premise is that "I Am Legend" can achieve good results internationally.

Movies have rushed out of the country, so movie actors will naturally go international with the movies.

Times are indeed different.

Back then, if Li Long and Cheng Jie wanted to open up their international popularity, they could only go to Hollywood.

The influence of their Chinese films at that time is difficult to compare with today's.

Mu Ze is undoubtedly catching up with a good era.

"Will Su Xiaowan quit the entertainment industry and take care of her children at home?"

This question is not the first time Mu Ze has been asked.

"No!" Mu Ze said with certainty, "However, as for when and how he will come back, it has not yet been decided." ”

Su Xiaowan has made great achievements in movies, television, and even variety shows.

If she comes back, these are all options.

However, how to make a comeback still needs to be planned by the corresponding departments of the company.

After all, Su Xiaowan hasn't appeared in front of the public for a long time.

It's definitely a drop in popularity these days.

Exposure still has a great impact on a celebrity's popularity.

Su Xiaowan is not bad, Mu Ze is on fire now, as Mu Ze's wife, even if she doesn't do anything, she has a lot of exposure.

Her popularity may decline, but the background is still there, once she comes back, with the resources of Dawn Film and Television, let alone let her reach the previous heights, it is possible to go further.

When the company develops, its artists will naturally follow suit.

"Are you going to the Golden Dragon Award ceremony?" Mu Chen asked Li Ruoxi.

"I'm not going. Li Ruoxi glanced at the sleeping child not far away and said, "Although I got a nomination, the chance of winning is very small." ”

"It's fine. Mu Chen nodded.

Although Li Ruoxi was nominated for Best Actress for "Inception", Mu Chen was not optimistic.

Mu Chen also asked someone to take care of the children, but Li Ruoxi preferred to do it herself.

Most of the people invited to direct or work on the side.

"Sister Xiaowan, are you going?" asked Li Ruoxi casually.

"Will go!" Mu Chen said, "She seems to be preparing to make a comeback, listening to Lao Chen's meaning, the company is still studying whether to let her be on variety shows or film and television dramas." ”

"What does Sister Xiaowan mean?" Li Ruoxi said.

She probably intends to go on variety shows. Mu Chen said.

"Variety show?" Li Ruoxi was a little surprised.

Su Xiaowan's popularity exploded, and it was indeed from variety shows. However, there are many variety shows, and for an actor, the impact is not small.

The effects can be mixed.

"The filming cycle is too long. Mu Chen said.

When Li Ruoxi heard this, she suddenly understood.

The child is still young, and Su Xiaowan obviously doesn't want to be separated for too long.

Whether it's a TV series or a movie, it will take a month or two to say the least.

It's different on a variety show, and it's only two or three days to record an episode.

The Golden Dragon Award ceremony is approaching, and the Spring Festival stall battle has come to an end.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" eventually became the biggest winner.

This film, which invested only more than 100 million, finally broke 3 billion at the box office. Dawn Film and Television has once again made a bumper harvest.

Li Chao turned over with this film and regained his confidence as a director.

Of course, this film also made him gain a lot.

He not only starred in and directed the film, but also invested in it.

Although, he does not invest a large proportion.

I can't stand the high rate of return of this film!

"There is a director, when I think of Dawn Film and Television, I can't make up my mind. ”

Mu Chen just entered the office and was about to go to the special effects department to continue the post-production of "Avatar", but he didn't want Chen Fuhai to walk in.

"Who is so to make us Mr. Chen embarrassed?" Mu Chen looked over with some surprise.

There are many directors of Dawn Film and Television, but there are not many. Compared with the actors, the director is undoubtedly more lacking.

And Chen Fuhai's ability and vision are beyond doubt.

Dawn Film and Television has today, and he has made great contributions.

He was struggling to sign a director?

This made Mu Chen curious.

"Tian Peng!" Chen Fuhai said.

When Mu Chen heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed, obviously he had not heard the name of this director.

If he is a nobody, Chen Fuhai will not be embarrassed.

"The director of 'The Magic Boy'!" Chen Fuhai said.

"The director of the animated film with an investment of more than 100 million yuan and a box office of more than 10 million?"

Mu Chen remembered it immediately.

He also guessed why Chen Fuhai was entangled and couldn't make up his mind.

Chen Fuhai nodded.

"I also watched that video online. Mu Chen said, "The picture is good, and the plot is a little bloody." A lot of places are still handled well. Is that film really an investment of 100 million?"

That film has a maximum effect of 50 million in Mu Chen's opinion!

As for the box office hitting the streets, there are also big factors that don't give you the publicity.

"A lot of film promotions will say that the cost is larger. Chen Fuhai said, "The same is true of the animated movie "Magic Boy". As far as I know, the film cost only three thousand to make!"

"Thirty million?" Mu Chen was a little surprised and said, "Thirty million can do this level, which is not bad." This director's ability is still good. ”

An investment of 30 million is blown into 100 million?

The cowhide is blown so big, is it really a fool for the audience?

The box office hit the streets, and I'm afraid there are reasons for this.

Mu Chen had to mourn for the director for a second.

The success and failure of a movie are indeed a combination of many aspects.

"Tian Peng should be said to be the best animation director in China. Chen Fuhai said.

"Are you not optimistic about animated movies either?" Mu Chen looked at Chen Fuhai and asked with a smile.

Chen Fuhai is entangled, obviously entangled here.

Tian Peng is undoubtedly a talent.

You can sign someone in Dawn Film and Television, you can't put it on the shelf.

Then you have to invest in making animated films.

"The national situation is like this!" Chen Fuhai shook his head and said.

Conditions!

What is the national situation?

Animated films are low-aged, or infantilized.

Nowadays, when it comes to cartoons, the first thing that comes to many people's minds is undoubtedly what children watch.

If the adult had gone to see it, he would have been met with a mocking look.

Domestic cartoons to be precise.

Hollywood's animated films actually have good box office in China.

"I'm very optimistic about the potential of the animated film market. Mu Chen said.

"Oh?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen, but he smiled and said, "Then sign him?"

"Sign!" Mu Chen said, "Take a moment, I'll talk to him." ”

Chen Fuhai is actually optimistic about the potential of the animated film market, but almost all domestic animations are juvenile, which is a status quo that has to be considered.

If you invest in animated films, the risk is obviously not ordinary.

If it can't change the "cognition" of domestic fans, then the box office of animated films is limited.

However, now that Mu Chen has spoken, Chen Fuhai's hesitation is gone.

"Are you going to enter the animated film?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and said.

"It's not me, it's Dawn Film and Television. Mu Chen smiled and said.

Mu Chen may not be able to direct, but making up a script is still credible.

Chen Fuhai saw Mu Chen nodding, and then looked forward to it.

In the previous life, there were so many classic animated movies, and I don't know how many of them broke one billion dollars at the global box office.

Of course, Mu Chen can't have seen all the films.

For example, "Frozen", which has a box office of more than 1.2 billion US dollars, Mu Chen has only heard of its name, but has never seen it.

However, there are also quite a few animated movies in his mind.

For example, the "Ice Age" series, the "Shrek" series, the "Kung Fu Panda" series, the "Despicable Me" series......

Isn't that enough?

In addition, domestic high-grossing animated films such as "The Return of the Great Sage", "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends" and so on.

There are many choices, but Mu Chen is not entangled.

A few days later, Tian Peng came to Mu Chen's office.

Mu Chen slashed his sword, but he was stunned for a moment. Na Tian Peng is burly, has a big bald head, and has a bit of the style of a big brother on the road.

There are really talents in the domestic director group!

"Sit down!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

He could see that Tian Peng was a little restrained.

The style of the big brother on the road is gone.

Tian Peng is naturally restrained, and Mu Chen is now his boss. What's more, even if Mu Chen is not his boss, he is also an internationally renowned director, and he is now just an animation director who fights the streets.

"You take a look first, and after you've seen it, we'll talk about it. Mu Chen directly handed over a script.

"Kung Fu Panda"?" Tian Peng looked at Mu Chen with some consternation, but his heart became excited.

Just looking at the name, Tian Peng can tell that it is an animated movie.

Kung Fu is Chinese, and Panda is also Chinese.

This is an animated film script with Chinese characteristics.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he opened the script, and Tian Peng read it carefully.

Mu Chen's script can be met but not sought.

Zhang Gang, Chen Mouzhi and other big directors had to give up some interests to cooperate with Dawn Film and Television, just for Mu Chen's script.

The plot is not complicated, it tells the story of a clumsy panda who aspires to become a martial arts master.

However, the characters in it are very distinctive.

The main character with a distinct personality.

The wisdom of the tortoise master, the heart of the raccoon master, the persistence of the panda Po, the cleverness and courage of the tiger, the kindness of the crane, the calmness of the golden monkey, the kindness of the spirit snake, the enthusiasm of the praying mantis, the courage and cruelty of the dragon, the wisdom of Mr. Ping and the timidity of the mountain steward.......

Tian Peng understands why the outside world praises Mu Chen's script so highly.

And behind the script, there are some image pictures of the main characters.

Is Mu Chen still good at animated movies?
