The 19-year-old Spring Festival stalls can really be called the most luxurious Spring Festival stalls in recent years.

Xing Ye, Big Brother Cheng, Wu Jing, Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Shen Teng, Han Han...... These people can be said to be the most appealing filmmakers in today's Chinese film market.

What's more, several films also look like rare masterpieces before their release.

"Crazy Aliens", which continues the sequel to the "Crazy" series, and "The New King of Comedy", which Xing Ye personally remade from one of his most classic works, are undoubtedly the most anticipated. On paper alone, these two films are likely to get three billion box office.

Although Han Han's works have always been accused of those things every time, I have to say that many people still eat this set. is not a small basic plate, coupled with the appeal of the leading actor Shen Teng, the box office of more than one billion is still no problem.

As for "The Wandering Earth", although there are great doubts, whether it is the title of "the first domestic science fiction movie", the influence of the original author Da Liu, or the names of Mu Ming and Wu Jing, it ensures considerable attention from the audience.

Coupled with the overall increase in the price of movie tickets this year, everyone believes that the total box office of this year's Spring Festival stalls will inevitably increase to a new level. Even, it is said that some managers also shouted the rhetoric of "breaking 10 billion in schedule".

However, the result made everyone's hearts cold, not to mention breaking 10 billion, the box office during this year's schedule was only more than 6 billion, which was only more than the results of the same period last year, and it was not as optimistic as expected.

The main reason, in addition to the sharp decline in the number of movies due to the increase in ticket prices, is mainly because the quality of several films is really disappointing.

Especially "The King of New Comedy", no one expected that this movie with the star master himself would only have a final box office of only 600 million, which is not as good as those two bears.

Star fan: Don't ask, it's ten years from now!

and "Crazy Aliens" and "Flying Life", although the results can be said to be reasonable, but the first word-of-mouth drag is far from reaching the expected goal.

As for "Detective Pu Songling"...... Thanks to the eldest brother who is busy attacking the sand, he can still take the time to perfunctory us.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The various trailers before the release made everyone think that there would be a "four-nation battle for hegemony", but in fact, when I watched it after the screening, I found that it was all a bunch of goods.

However, this is not always the case. In a pile of goods, there is still a real work of sincerity.

“…… The program will last for 100 generations. Although we don't know what kind of new home the new sun 4.2 light-years away will bring, from today onwards, the courage and perseverance of human beings will be forever engraved under the stars. ”

"The Wandering Earth", the film with the biggest doubts before its release, has become the most memorable work this year.

"Director Guo, may I ask what do you think is the most important point in the whole filming process of the film "The Wandering Earth"?"

A young reporter with glasses stood up and asked Guo Fan on the stage. In just seven days, the cumulative box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 2 billion, and it is natural to celebrate the press conference.

"The most important thing......" Guo Fan, as the chief director, did not even hesitate in the face of this problem, and blurted out: "That is naturally our director and the biggest investor in this work, Director Mu Ming." ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" the reporters in the audience instantly came to their senses. Since last year's Golden Horse Awards, Mu Ming's "I Am Not the God of Medicine" won the best picture, this is the first time that Mu Ming's name has been heard in such a public occasion during this time.

But it's a pity that Mu Ming didn't come to the scene today.

"Specific...... I'll just say this, Director Mu Ming was the first to choose the project "The Wandering Earth", and it was he who pulled up the whole team when he still had a movie to make. ”

He took on nearly half of the investment in the whole film, persuaded Wu Jinglai to be one of the leading actors, and solved most of the shooting, props and post-production problems without a foundation at all. ”

"Therefore, if I want to contribute to the success of "The Wandering Earth", the first one must be director Mu Ming. ”

Guo Fan looked at the many shots in the audience and said seriously.

"Director Guo. Another reporter stood up: "Can you ask, why didn't Director Mu Ming attend the press conference today?"

"Oh, he seems to have some project to discuss today and needs to go abroad, so he didn't come over. ”

At the same time, on a turquoise plane at the capital airport.

"Anyway, I've always had a very curious question. ”

Du Yang looked at Mu Ming, who was leaning on the sofa and reading a book in his hand, and said loudly: "Do you have any ability to predict the future, the projects that have been optimistic about all these years, including this "The Wandering Earth", have not failed a single one!"

"How could there be such a ability, I didn't know that "The Wandering Earth" would be so successful before. Mu Ming retorted this time with "really, justifiably".

"And how did you think about it at the time?" Du Yang continued to ask.

Mu Ming smiled, closed the book, raised her head and said: "'Build 10,000 star-shaped engines, propel the entire earth, and carry out a wandering plan that lasts for 2,500 years and lasts for a hundred generations', don't you think this sentence has a kind of space epic romance." ”

"Is that all?" Du Yang asked with some suspicion.

"That's how it is. Mu Ming raised her eyebrows, made a "don't be surprised" gesture, lowered her head and continued to read.

Regarding Mu Ming's understatement, Du Yang was somewhat unconvinced. Shuimu Film and Television now has some mythical colors in the film and television industry, and is known in the industry as "Shuimu shoots and never loses".

As the general manager of Shuimu, Du Yang naturally knew that at least seventy percent of the credit here belonged to Mu Ming.

Thinking of this, Du Yang shook his head and smiled. At the age of less than thirty, he single-handedly developed such a huge company as Shuimu Film and Television, and it is natural that there are some places beyond ordinary people.

"By the way, Li Ying is almost born, right?" Du Yang took a glass of ice water handed over by the assistant and took a sip.

The plane where the two are now is a private jet bought by Mu Ming in the name of Shuimu Film and Television, and it was delivered before the Chinese New Year. In his words, there will definitely be a lot of places to use in the future, and it is convenient to buy it early.

This private jet, Mu Ming originally wanted to call it "Ying Firefly", which was a gift to Xiao Zhao. However, after all, it was bought in the name of the company, and secondly, the young lady was not interested in private jets, so it was finally named "Mizuki".

By the way, Xiao Zhao prefers yachts to airplanes, so the name "Ying Firefly" was not wasted, and it was easily transferred to the "sea creature" that will inevitably appear in the future.

"The due date is early next month. Speaking of this, Mu Ming couldn't help but smile on her face and said: "It is said that the boy follows his mother, but this little guy seems to be a little bit with me, not a single head is big, and he is lazy, and he has always refused to come out." ”

"Is it really good for you to say that about your son?" Du Yang also smiled and said: "It seems that we should speed up our work in North America this time, don't delay time." ”

The two of them went to North America this time to have a very important job.

Shuimu Film and Television's previous development difficulties, with the help of the success of "The Wandering Earth", have a new room for growth. At this time, the volume of Mizuki itself was a little insufficient. Therefore, the best way to do this is naturally to go public.

To tell the truth, with the prestige that Shuimu has accumulated in recent years, once it is listed, Mu Ming's worth will increase at least five times.

But despite this, Mu Ming did not start the IPO and other processes in a hurry, but continued to develop new projects in order to have greater capital.

This trip to North America is for the "Crime Exterminator Alliance" plan that Mizuki set up several years ago.

Several individual episodes have aired before, and each one has a good reputation. In the last and most important "integration" part, Mizuki is ready to cooperate with Netflix to expand the influence of this series beyond the Chinese-speaking world.

After all, compared with comedy urban dramas with clear cultural boundaries, works with police and bandit themes are still quite universal.

Another thing is not only the plan of Mizuki Film and Television, but also part of Teng Xun.

As the most popular MOBA game in the world, riot, the parent company of "League of Legends", has gradually begun to have IP development plans in recent years. In addition to the revised hero background story that has been repeatedly eaten in books, it is also striving to broaden and improve the entire League of Legends world.

In order to better develop the IP, riot and Marvel jointly launched the first official version of the comic - "War Mother".

Naturally, Riot is inevitably a little eyeing of film and television. It is said that some directors who have begun to contact Hollywood are interested in launching big movies. It's just that I was limited to the previous "Warcraft" and "Assassin's Creed" hit the streets, so I didn't dare to be too anxious.

Riot's parent company is Fuji Xun, and Fuji Xun Entertainment itself has always been a shortcoming in film and television, and it has been mainly cooperating with Shuimu Film and Television over the years. Shuimu Film and Television has always maintained cooperation with Disney, Marvel is Disney's, and Riot has joined forces with Marvel.

In short, after such a series of complex connections, and Mu Ming herself is also very interested in this large-scale project, so there is this trip to North America.

Of course, these are still just ideas, and whether they will actually succeed in the end remains to be seen.

But then again, even if it doesn't work out, it's not a big deal. The success of "The Wandering Earth" proves that domestic science fiction films and the construction of China's film industry system are feasible. And we have so many projects on our hands that we can shoot that we don't need to look at Hollywood anymore.

Maybe in a few decades, Hollywood at that time has been completely suppressed by China, and all American directors are proud to be able to direct a Chinese movie.

But in any case, Mu Ming is destined to become the most shining one in the Chinese film industry in the future.

The take-off prompt sounded, reminding everyone on the plane that it was time to take off. After a long glide and a roar, the Mizuki took off into the air and headed for its destination.

Looking at the rapidly shrinking ground outside the window, and the gradually appearing clouds, Mu Ming grinned at the corner of her mouth, and then withdrew her gaze to the book in her hand.

No matter where the end result will lead our lives, we will always choose hope.

Good luck!
