Chapter 206: News Announced
The New Year's Day holiday is quietly coming, and Mizuki Studio also has a three-day holiday. Of course, Mu Ming is not included. He was still in the studio watching the year-end summary and statistics, working overtime.
So, don't think your boss is happy. When you are on vacation, when you are resting, when you are lying in bed playing games and watching movies, they are still working hard for the treatment of employees and the future of the company. These are things they won't tell you.
Of course, they won't tell you anything like a vacation to the Maldives while you're working, a neon hot springs, or skiing in the Alps.
Mu's mother called and told Mu Ming not to forget to go home during the Spring Festival. By the way, he also vaguely reminded him that it was two people who didn't mind going back. Then he reminded him more vaguely that in fact, the three people went back, and they didn't mind very much.
What two people and three people, pure as Mu Ming, couldn't understand what they were talking about at all.
Besides, how could there be three people, Mu Ming has a sixth sense at home.
But I've always heard that a man's sixth sense doesn't work, so let's change the brand in the future.
Shaking his head, getting rid of these positive (chaotic) (seven) eight (eight) scriptures (bad) things, Mu Ming concentrated, and began to look at the year-end summary in his hand intently.
In the entire 12 years, Mizuki has established a total of two films and two TV series. "Thai Embarrassment" has been released, and as of the last day of the year, the box office has exceeded 900 million, becoming a new Chinese film champion, and it continues to set new records.
The later stage of "Chinese Partner" is basically completed, and it has been sent for review, and the file is tentatively set at the end of May. No way, there is "Iron Man 3" in early May, Mu Ming is not happy, and in mid to late June, there is "Fuji Detective", and the light is not happy.
So the last neutralization, at the end of May, the only opponent is "Tianji • Fuchun Mountain Residence Map". Now everyone is satisfied.
As for the TV series, I don't know how Yu Zheng and Mango Channel talked about it at the beginning, "The Legend of Lu Zhen" has been suppressed for a year, and it will not be broadcast until January 26 after New Year's Day.
But it just so happened that "Shanshan is Coming" has been bought by Litchi TV and will be broadcast in April. In addition, "Wolf Boy", which he plans to release in July and August, and Xiao Zhao is expected to start filming "Flower Thousand Bone" after the movie, and if you hurry up, it can be broadcast before the end of the year.
Wow! In this way, Xiao Zhao is going to dominate the screen next year!
Well, it's still a lot worse than Yang Xuejian. People can make six TV series a year and two more movies at the same time. That's the real domination of the screen, so you can't watch it if you want to.
By the way, Mu Ming flipped through the second document, which is a summary of some statistics on the entire film and television industry in the past 12 years. Among the actors with the highest box office in 12 years, Yang Xuejian topped the box office with 1.1 billion and became the highest-grossing mainland actor this year.
In fact, Mu Ming has always wanted to complain about this kind of box office calculation method, as long as you participate in the performance, you can calculate the box office on yourself, so you can multiply the proportion coefficient of the appearance time and the whole film time.
According to this calculation, Zhang Mei'e is the aunt next to the "kidney-deficient son", and she also has a box office of 7 billion, ranking fourth in the box office ranking of 17 years, killing a number of first-line actors in seconds.
In comparison, Xiao Zhao is more pitiful, except for "Riding the Wind and Waves", none of the movies he made have a splash.
Mu Ming remembered that before her rebirth, Xiao Zhao would have a movie "Journey to the West: Daughter Country" at the end of the year, but it wouldn't be much better, after all, the IP of "Journey to the West" is basically synonymous with bad movies in later generations. Xiao Zhao, the heroine, is really hard to hold up.
"It doesn't matter. Mu Ming covered the document in front of her: "Now, she is my heroine." ”
••••••••••••
The preparatory work for "Wolf Boy", including the layout of the local filming venue, the rental of accommodation hotels, the arrangement of transportation, the communication of relevant personnel, etc., Chen Zhixi and Guangguang Media are familiar with it.
Yes, this movie is still in cooperation with Light Media. Because Mizuki doesn't have the ability to issue independently, he found Light to be in charge. Then the light opens the conditions, and the issuance is fine, but we also have to invest.
It's not that the light is rushing, in fact, there are really a lot of film and television companies that have been looking for Mizuki to contact for investment and cooperation recently. After all, there are two works with dozens of times the income there, and one of them is still the current box office champion of Chinese films, and anyone wants to follow it for luck.
The same is naturally true of light, although "Chinese Partner" has not yet been released, they have already analyzed that the box office will definitely not be lower than 400 million, and it is no problem to be lucky with 500 million. Therefore, Chen Zhixi who came to the door was naturally very welcome.
It's just that when she heard that this project was Mu Ming's first work as a director, Li Xiaoping hesitated.
When it comes to the vision of selecting projects, no one will question Mu Ming at present. Who dares to question, first come up with a box office champion and then speak. But when it comes to director shooting, no one knows Mu Ming's level.
Although Teng Huatao and Xu Zheng are also making movies for the first time, one is a TV series director transformation, and the other is many years of film and television experience. But Mu Ming, I've never heard of him having any experience as a director.
Chen Zhixi knew Li Xiaoping's concerns and explained to her once. Mu Ming didn't have any directing experience, but also followed seven or eight crews and caught up step by step from small field affairs. Although it is possible, the upgrade is a little faster.
Moreover, the filming of the two films "Thai Embarrassment" and "Chinese Partner" also has a contribution to Mu Ming.
In the end, Li Xiaoping handed over this matter to Wang Changtian, and he made the decision. After calling Chen Kexin for consultation, Lao Wang finally decided to invest this money.
The big deal should be thrown away to make friends with Mizuki, or rather, to make friends with Mu Ming. Anyway, it's only five million.
After confirming the addition of light, Mizuki also officially announced the project of "Wolf Boy". And it is important to note that this is the first film directed by Mu Ming herself.
Well, in fact, long before this, Mu Ming herself had already posted on Weibo to tell her about it.
He took a cover photo of the script, and the name "Wolf Boy" was clearly printed on the cover, as well as Mu Ming's own handwriting, "It's been fifty years, just like when I first looked at it." Then he wrote on the accompanying picture, "Boys, from today onwards, I will tell you stories with the camera." ”
In the past, directing was a very mysterious and profound profession. The main reason is actually that film is more expensive, and one-third of the cost of making a movie is spent on film. So not everyone can do the job of directing.
However, with the popularization of high-definition digital cameras, the cost of shooting videos has dropped significantly, and novices have more opportunities for trial and error. Therefore, there are more and more cross-border directors, and the seriousness of the title of director is slowly declining.
But even so, the news that Mu Ming announced that she was going to make a movie still caused a commotion. I've never heard of a young man in his early twenties who is a director, and he hasn't graduated from a bachelor's degree.
The most critical thing is that shortly before Mu Ming announced this, LeTV announced that it would invest in the production of the film version of the well-known youth series "Little Times". The director of the movie will be the original author Guo Xiaosi himself.
When did film directing become a profession that anyone could do?
