Ma Dan, fortunately, the old paper didn't go to compete for the New Year, otherwise he would have been miserable by the rice guys!

In Tianmu Company, Li Mu sat on the newly bought boss's chair, looking at the news on the computer screen, Li Mu snickered in his heart.

This time, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian are estimated to be crying to death, they thought they had avoided the summer file, but they ran into an even more tragic New Year file.

Li Mu has a little impression of these movies, it seems that the box office is not low, although none of them exceed one billion, not even 800 million, but they all have a box office of three or four billion.

"Pacific Rim" seems to have 700 million, and "Men in Black" and "Ice Age" both broke 500 million.

And now that the domestic film market has exploded earlier than before, this box office is estimated to be a little more.

However, judging from this situation, the situation is not optimistic!

There are only a few steps in the main domestic blockbusters of this year's Chinese New Year file, and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has a bad reputation, and in the end, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping, the old partners of more than ten years, broke up, and the new picture company went bankrupt directly.

Originally, this movie won more than 600 million box office with Zhang Yimou's name, but now that there are so many blockbusters and the audience has more choices, it is still unknown whether Zhang Yimou's three words can be used.

"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is a movie with a double harvest at the box office, Xu Ke, Li Lianjie, and martial arts, the impact of the combination of the three is no less than Cheng Long's kung fu comedy.

In addition, Li Mu, the finished film of "Hong Kong Embarrassment", has already seen it in Berner, and the original version is unexpected, a middle-aged literary youth and his first love's dating trip, which is mixed with some classic Cantonese songs, Zhang Xueyou, Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guorong, Chen Baiqiang, Chen Xiaochun, Lin Zixiang, Xu Guanjie, Cao Meng, Beyond, Ye Liyi, Ye Zhentang, Lu Guanting, one after another The voice in the memory appeared in the ears again.

There are also classic scenes that pay tribute to Hong Kong films and Hong Kong film gold medal sets that are like marquees. "Police Story", "The King of Comedy", "The True Story of A Fei", "The True Color of Heroes", ...... These classic works are presented one by one in "Hong Kong". Baliang Jin, Yuan Qiongdan, Lin Xue, Li Canshen, Ge Minghui, Wu Yaohan, the gold medalists who shaped the golden age of Hong Kong films, appeared in "Hong Kong" one by one, and continued to play their soy sauce. Even Wang Jing directed a "play within a play" in "Hong Kong", filming the "Crazy Boy vs. Iron Man".

Li Mu also wanted to ask Xu Zheng why he filmed like this, and he didn't continue the path of "Thai Embarrassment".

But after thinking about it, I still didn't ask, in fact, to put it bluntly, once people succeed, they have more ideas, and they all want to "stand and make money".

There were Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang in the past, and there will be more people in the future, originally a good movie had to be stuffed with private goods, and wanted to appear taller, which made the audience inexplicable.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to pretend B, but most people have failed, and pretending to be B will not become a coin!

There is also a "Journey to the West: Daughter Country", which is also the highlight of this year's Berner, inviting Chen Qiaoen to play the king of the daughter country, and the king Guo Fucheng starring in the Monkey King.

The finished film has also come out, Li Mu has seen it okay, at least it is not worse than "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", and the box office can still be expected.

In addition to these four blockbusters, there are also some small and medium-budget movies, but they will be cannon fodder at that time, after all, dark horses are not every year.

Li Mu thought about it, but decided to find a few more companies to discuss, and in the face of such a situation, mutual cooperation was the only way.

All four movies will be released separately, preferably about 20 days apart, no matter which movie is released, when the time comes, several companies will work together to promote that movie.

After making up his mind, Li Mu called Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Chen Tianqiao, and Ma Huateng respectively, and asked them to have a meal together in two days.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Li Mu began to think about his new movie.

Originally, Li Mu didn't plan to copy movies anymore, his original "Zhao Zilong" could get a box office of more than one billion, so why bother copying other people's.

However, for the sake of this network IP plan, for the sake of prudence, Li Mu still decided to shoot the "Dragon Quest".

When Chen Tianqiao asked Li Mu to help write the script, he took the opportunity to buy the film and television adaptation rights of several films, including classics such as "Notes on Tomb Robbery", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Zhu Xian", as well as Singularity 07 years newcomer Wang's new book "Breaking the Sky", "Yang God", which won the fourth place in the nine-month ticket championship for ten months and won eight consecutive championships.

Li Mu also thought about filming "Zhu Xian", after all, it is also a classic, "Zhu Xian" has already been released as an online game, and there are still many registered users, so it has some advantages in terms of audience.

However, "Zhu Xian" is a little more complicated, in addition to the special effects, the characters in it are more emotional, and the actors and acting skills required are more demanding, and if you don't get it right, it will be made into a martial arts romance film.

And Li Mu has other things to do, there are more important things besides "Looking for the Dragon", so Li Mu plans to hand over "Zhu Xian" to Lin Feng to film.

Myself, of course, is to make a relatively simple "Looking for the Dragon", this movie has only a few actors, and the requirements for acting skills are not so high, mainly in special effects.

Of course, the actor Hu Bayi was handed over to Lu Yi, Chen Qiaoen played the heroine Shirley Yang, Wang Kaixuan asked Deng Chao if he was willing to take it, the big golden tooth was Chen He, and Ding Sitian gave it to Master Liu.

Looking at it this way, there is no need for casting in this movie, all of them are their own actors, and there are only a few tricks left with only a few lines, which is so trouble-free.

And it's easy to shoot with fewer people, and there are only a few people in the whole movie, so it will be much easier to shoot.

As for special effects, it's not a problem to have anything to do with money, 100 million can't do 200 million, 200 million can't do 300 million, as long as you have money, you can't do any effect.

Don't look at these special effects blockbusters so wonderful and gorgeous, in fact, it is much more difficult to shoot than war scenes, after all, computers are dead, there is always no problem to operate step by step, and people are alive, and there are always people who are not doing well here when thousands of people get together.

Of course, not to mention that "Avatar" is purely computer-produced, and few people will do this, and no company will spend five or six billion yuan for a director to squander.

Even if they dare to give it, no one dares to accept it, the production cost of this kind of film is five or six hundred million, plus two or three hundred million publicity expenses, no matter who you are, it's good to be able to return to the capital, once you pounce, you will never be able to turn over.

Think about it, if the global box office of "Avatar" is only one or two hundred million, who would dare to ask Cameron to make a movie?
