Chapter 309: A real action spy war masterpiece
Many people say that "Genius Gunman" is not only a movie about cheating, but also involves connotative issues such as social integrity, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the unspoken rules of education. And these connotations are the reasons why it can become a dark horse hit.
Well, this is a bit of a deliberate exaggeration. Movies about cheating are not uncommon in film history. For example, "The Biggest Cheating War in History", or "Truant Dragon". It's just that it's all comedy.
is because they are all comedies, so "Genius Gunman" is such a serious spy war film to shoot a movie about cheating on campus.
In other words, if it weren't for the specificity of the presentation, it would be difficult for this movie to be so popular.
Now that you know the key to the success of the film, it is natural to give full play to this aspect to the greatest extent. As a "campus version of "Mission Impossible", the most important thing is the editing and soundtrack, in addition to the film itself.
"Who are you looking for?" Chen Zhixi leaned on the sofa and looked at Mu Ming with a mysterious smile and asked.
"WellโI'm looking for Paul Hirsch for the editor, and I'm looking for Mike Giacchino for the soundtrack. Mu Ming said the best choice in her heart with a serious face.
Paul Hirsch is the editor of "Star Wars," "Source Code," and "Mission Impossible," and has won two Oscars;
Mike Giacchino is the soundtrack of "Mission Impossible" and "Flying House", Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe, Saturn...... A bunch of award-winning and nominated kinds.
"Okay, the company will contact you. Chen Zhixi agreed.
"Are you kidding?" Mu Ming's eyes widened, and she asked suspiciously, "Also, when did we have a contact channel with Hollywood?"
"You were kidding first. Chen Zhixi said solemnly: "Also, the channel is very simple. Light, Wanda, and even Sister Du Yang can contact Disney and Warner, but the problem is that people are willing. โ
Mu Ming pursed her lips, thinking about it, she also knew that how could a talent who could win an Oscar take on a small-scale movie from across the ocean with an investment of less than 10 million US dollars.
Of course, if Mu Ming is willing to spend money, it will still be very easy. However, it is not that there are no good editors and soundtracks in China, so why bother to cheapen foreigners.
"By the way, should we apply for an award for "Genius Gunman". Mu Ming thought of a new question.
"Of course, just wait for your movie to be cut. Chen Zhixi introduced: "Not only "Genius Gunman", "Twenty Years Old Again" also applied for this year's Hundred Flowers Award and Golden Horse Award. But ......"
Although Chen Zhixi didn't finish speaking, Mu Ming still understood what she meant.
The Academy Awards have ended, even if it is not over, Mu Ming's film does not meet the award requirements; the double awards of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival are combined, and this year it is the turn of the Hundred Flowers Award, which is the most authoritative; As for the Golden Horse Awards, the attitude towards such a non-treasure island box office hit film can also be imagined.
But......
"I'm not talking about the three gold awards. โ
Mu Ming explained: "I mean, can "Genius Gunman" apply for foreign awards. I think this one is obviously a little more international than the previous two films. โ
After all, what country has no students, and which country has no students cheating.
"Foreign awards?" Chen Zhixi pondered for a while: "It's not impossible, but this year's Cannes and Berlin ended at the beginning of the year, and only Venice remained." This is okay, but the style of your movie doesn't seem to meet their judging criteria. โ
"If you don't meet it, you don't meet it, and I don't expect to win the prize. Mu Ming said indifferently: "Don't forget, in addition to awards, these film festivals are also the best film exhibition and sales platforms." โ
Since the establishment of the Venice Film Festival, the world's first film festival, in the thirties of the last century, there have been 15 A-category international film festivals around the world. Of course, the most familiar ones in China are Cannes, Berlin and Venice, the three major European film festivals.
From the beginning, purely to discuss the development of film art, to the global film sales platform, the major film festivals have obviously become more commercial.
This is also the reason why Mu Ming wants to declare, he doesn't expect to win awards or anything, but it is enough to follow this platform, sell movies, and expand Mizuki's film distribution channels abroad by the way.
"And it's not just the big three in Europe. For example, you can do things like the Toronto Film Festival and the Tokyo Film Festival. Mu Ming gave an example.
The best option is a film festival that can be held in September or October, just in time for the release of "Genius Gunman" in the mainland.
Although the domestic audience has subconscious resistance to the promotion of "XX Film Festival Award-winning Works", it is mostly limited to the "three major European films", and other film festivals still have more advantages.
As for not being able to win awards, Mu Ming really didn't care much, "Genius Gunman" was not originally filmed to win awards.
If you really want to make an award-winning work, "Room", which Mu Ming asked Shuimu to buy before, is undoubtedly more suitable.
"Have you bought the copyright of "Room"?" Since she thought of this movie, Mu Ming asked casually.
"Bought it. Chen Zhixi said with a smile on his face: "Fortunately, let's act quickly, a few days after signing the contract in the United States, a film and television company found Emma Donohue and wanted to buy the copyright." โ
"It's finally one step ahead. Mu Ming is in a good mood, he has always been angry that his "Gone Lover" was snatched away.
"And the other manga you confessed, I also bought it. Chen Zhixi said casually.
"Comics?" Mu Ming frowned suspiciously, "What comics?" when did I say I was going to buy comics?"
"When you said you were going to buy "Gone Girl", didn't you say that you could sell more other good works. Then you gave a few lists, and the company looked for it, and the copyright of this comic had not been discovered, so I bought it. Chen Zhixi explained.
Mu Ming blinked and slowly recalled. There was such a thing, but that was more than half a year ago.
"Okay. Mu Ming spread her hands: "It's also an unexpected gain." By the way, which comic. โ
"It's called ...... "Ace Agent". Chen Zhixi recalled and said his name.
"Ace agent?" Mu Ming's eyes widened: "Are you sure?" and then saw Chen Zhixi nodding affirmatively, his face was suddenly filled with a strange look.
I knew that there was "Ace Agent", and what kind of "Genius Gunman" I was filming, so I went straight to the real action spy war production!
