Chapter 301: He's the center everywhere

When Mu Chen was still in the United States, the list of Oscar nominees was announced.

"I Am Legend", a film that received eight nominations at the Golden Dragon Awards, was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars in addition to Best Foreign Language Film.

As soon as this nomination came out, many people were undoubtedly stunned.

Who would have thought that the performance of this film at the Oscars would be so "unbearable" that it didn't even get a single best visual effect.

The visual effects of this film may be extremely amazing in China, but in Hollywood, it seems to be just like that.

Those two nominations, in Mu Chen's opinion, are estimated to be accompaniment.

Mu Chen was still a little surprised by this.

It's just a surprise, and the original doesn't seem to have won any awards.

Relatively speaking, Mu Chen is more optimistic about "Independence Day"!

Not just the Oscars, but also the box office.

The original version of the film, which seems to have an investment of less than $100 million, has almost doubled Mu Chen's investment.

Of course, this also has something to do with inflation.

The film has now been produced and is being negotiated when it will be released.

Mu Chen watched the finished film and felt that there was a breakthrough in visual effects compared with the original version.

Mu Chen is also very optimistic about the box office of this film.

The original version seems to have grossed more than $800 million worldwide, and it also won the throne of the world's highest-grossing film that year.

Counting inflation or something, not to mention that it is higher than the box office of the original version, it will not be much lower.

What's more, this film has a huge Chinese market.

With Mu Chen's screenwriting alone, it is estimated that the box office of this film in China will not be too low.

As for when "Independence Day" will be released, Mu Chen did not ask.

He believed Harvey Wayne knew better than he did.

Mu Chen's trip did not stay in the United States for long, but the preparations for the new film were basically completed.

After returning to China to participate in the Golden Dragon Award ceremony, after packing up, you can go to the United States and start shooting.

"Are you participating in this year's Golden Dragon Awards?" Mu Chen looked at Li Ruoxi and asked.

Last year, Li Ruoxi was nominated for Best Actress but did not participate.

"The jury invited me to be the guest of honor for Best Actress, and I agreed. Li Ruoxi said.

When the child is older, there is no need to watch it all the time.

It didn't take much time to participate in the Golden Dragon Award ceremony.

Mu Chen nodded.

He will also be the guest of honor this year, but not for Best Actress, but for Best Director.

The awards ceremony came soon, and on the red carpet, when Li Ruoxi appeared holding Mu Chen's wrist, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Ruoxi's appearance surprised many people.

Is she ready to make a comeback?

Marriage, honeymoon, pregnancy, childbirth......

Li Ruoxi seems to have not appeared in front of the public for more than a year.

The child has reached the age of one and has basically been weaned, so it is not surprising that Li Ruoxi has made a comeback.

"Director Mu, many people are looking forward to your film, can you reveal when you will meet you?" asked Mu Chen with a smile.

"Tentatively set for July 13!" Mu Chen smiled, did not hide it, but directly said when it would be released.

However, now that it is nearly four months away, who can guarantee that the schedule will not change!

This film will be released simultaneously around the world.

"So what are Director Mu's expectations for the box office of this film?" the host then asked.

He didn't ask Mu Chen what he thought the box office of this film would be, and directly asked about expectations.

"Of course, hopefully it will break the box office record. Mu Chen smiled and said.

"And what do you think are the odds of breaking the box office record?" asked the host casually.

He has already done it, and Mu Chen used his words of "I don't think it's useless" to send his heart ready.

"Huge!"

Mu Chen answered very simply and directly, but this made the host stunned.

Is this still the Mu Chen he is familiar with?

It seems that Mu Chen has a lot of confidence in his film!

What kind of person Mu Chen is, most people know.

He always leaves a little leeway in his speech, and he doesn't say it all.

At this time, if you say the word "very big", it is probably really big.

"Then I wish Director Mu what he wants. The host looked at Li Ruoxi as he spoke, and said, "We all know that you have been resting for a long time, and many fans are very concerned about your next arrangements, can you reveal it?"

"Every once in a while, I go to the United States to make a movie. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

"Hollywood movies?" said the host, his eyes lit up.

Although Li Ruoxi has taken a break for more than a year, she is definitely the most internationally renowned actress in China.

It seems reasonable that she was invited by Hollywood.

"No, his films. Li Ruoxi smiled and looked at Mu Chen.

"Director Mu is going to make a new film?" said the host in surprise.

At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast was also surprised.

However, thinking about it is relieved.

The post-production of Mu Chen's "Avatar" is complete and is only waiting to be released.

Then shooting a new film seems to be his normal operation.

Perhaps, the interval between his films is too long, so that many fans forget that Mu Chen's movies have always been shot one after another.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded.

There is no need to deny this, and it cannot be denied.

Li Ruoxi has spoken, what can he do?

"Can you tell us a little bit?" the moderator continued.

He didn't expect that he would ask casually and reveal such a big news.

"A low-budget romance film. Mu Chen said with a smile.

The host didn't ask more, not because he wasn't curious, but because the guests who walked the red carpet behind him were almost in front of him.

However, it has spread on the Internet, and some netizens even directly speculated that Mu Chen was the male protagonist.

Filming a romance film, Li Ruoxi is the heroine, and Mu Chen is definitely very likely to play the male lead.

Following "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", Mu Chen doesn't seem to have played any roles.

Now starring again, it undoubtedly surprised his fans.

"Teacher Gao. ”

As soon as Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi entered the venue, they met Gao Hua head-on, and immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Director Mu, Ruoxi is here too!" Gao Hua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly greeted.

He was extremely emotional at this time.

At the beginning, the young director who even asked him for help from the crew, is now a world-renowned director and a well-deserved boss in the Chinese entertainment industry.

The world is impermanent, and the fate of people is really difficult to intercede.

And the young man who was playing tricks in the crew at the beginning has now become an international superstar and almost became the first Oscar winner.

Human encounters are so magical.

Gao Hua knew very well that Mu Chen had undoubtedly taken great care of him over the years.

Although he is not a signed artist of Dawn Film and Television, he often plays the actor with the most investment works of Dawn Film and Television.

It is estimated that there are few artists under Dawn Film and Television who can compare with him.

This time he played the role of Yan Chixia in "A Chinese Ghost Story", which made him popular again.

His salary has risen a lot now, and there are still many scenes for him to choose.

or many are supporting roles, but the scenes are very sufficient.

He is now much smoother in the circle than before, and everyone in the circle knows his relationship with Mu Chen, and they will also give some face.

What's more, the people he introduced to Mu Chen at the beginning are now mostly senior executives of Dawn Film and Television.

They have a good relationship with Gao Hua themselves, and now that they are so mixed, they naturally have a sense of gratitude to Gao Hua.

Gao Hua's status in the mainland entertainment industry is rising, which is reasonable.

Of course, if there is filming, the road is smooth, and it may not be popular.

Not long after Mu Chen chatted with Li Ruoxi and Gao Hua, Liu Guohua came over with a smile on his face.

He has a good relationship with Mu Chen.

But it's not so much when we get together.

This time, Mu Chen recommended him to play Xu Wen's "The Day After Tomorrow" as the meteorologist Huo Ming, and Wang Yi as his son Huo Lang.

"Director Xu, what are you? You have to pay attention to your body!"

Mu Chen looked at Xu Wen who came over, and saw that he was a little sluggish, so he immediately spoke.

"Hey, old. In the past, if I stayed up for three days and three nights, I was also in good spirits, but now I sleep later, and I can't do it. Xu Wen shook his head and said.

"Then you have to take a break. Mu Chen said, "The body is the capital of the revolution, and I don't want to change the director of "The Day After Tomorrow". ”

"You even want to return the director, believe it or not, I hanged myself at your door. Xu Wen pouted and said.

Mu Chen smiled, naturally he didn't care.

Xu Wen's words were clearly a joke.

What's more, Mu Chen didn't plan to change the director, even if Xu Wen was sick, it would delay the shooting.

After talking to Xu Wen about this movie, Mu Chen had to admit that he was indeed more suitable for this film than Zhang Gang.

Perhaps, there is no director in China who is more suitable to direct this film than him.

Before the award ceremony began, Mu Chen was surrounded by a lot of people, as if wherever he was, he could become the center of everyone.

Even among those people, there are many top domestic directors such as Xu Wen and Zhang Gang.

If you have a slightly lower status in the circle, you are embarrassed to surround it.

The award ceremony began shortly.

It was not "I Am Legend" that got off to a good start, but "A Chinese Ghost Story".

This, of course, has to do with the awards that were given in the first place.

It doesn't seem surprising that "A Chinese Ghost Story" won the Best Movie Song award.

Perhaps, because the theme song and interlude of this film are from Mu Chen's hands.

"It seems like I haven't won this award for a long time, and it seems to be yesterday again. Mu Chen said with a smile, "I'm very happy to win the Best Film Song Award again." Thank you! Thank you for the jury's affirmation, thank you to Yu Yun, the director of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the staff of the crew, and thank you to the fans who like this film. Thank you!"

Mu Chen got off to a good start, but what was surprising was that he received two nominations for Best Screenplay, but failed to win this award half of the chances.

Of course, before that, "I Am Legend" won the best visual effects, the best sound effects.

and "A Chinese Ghost Story" won the best action design, as well as the best newcomer.

The winner of the best newcomer is naturally Nie Xiaoqian's actor Chen Xianqi.

"I Am Legend" is only nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.

And "A Chinese Ghost Story" still has two awards left: Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor.

There have been many awards before, there have been gains and losses, and the competitiveness of the remaining awards is undoubtedly more intense.
