Chapter 404: Mizuki's New Plan
What "campus theme" is simply a smoke bomb released by Mizuki to disrupt the audio-visual, the story takes place on campus, but this is a complete suspense thriller, with Mizuki's further revelations in the future, people will find that this campus is not so warm, but full of hysterical fear, the purpose of this is to create a gimmick, to ensure that the film is guaranteed a certain topic and attention before the start of filming, with the current fame of director Tao Da, it is necessary to add some means to achieve a good publicity effect.
For Tao Quduo to return to the horror film theme that he is good at, He Mu is still very optimistic about Lu, domestic horror films need a representative director, so that this type of film can be valued, the theme of horror films is very suitable for viewing in the cinema, the market potential of this part is huge, but it is limited to the restrictions of radio and television, there is a lack of horror films, and there is no influential horror film director, if hundreds of millions of directors can fight their way out of this genre, he will become a director that all domestic horror film lovers cannot bypass, Sometimes the "No. 1 director of horror films" is often more remembered by the audience and history than the "No. 1 director of blockbusters".
Another important reason why He Mu is optimistic about this film is that Tao Quduo promised that the budget of this new film will not exceed 10 million, which is good news for Boss He, who is keen on fighting big with small things. The cost of less than 3 million hit the box office of 56 million, and the production and publicity cost of 15 million for "Glass Heart" got more than 100 million box office, these are the most noteworthy dark horse cases in the Chinese film market in 2009, although Shuimu Forest is now qualified and powerful to make some medium-cost movies. But He Mu still thinks that it is more secure to have a small cost, and he will take a bigger step after the company's strength is on a higher level, so He Mu is very happy that Tao Qu can save him money. It's better to have a small cost.
However, there is a more realistic problem in front of He Mu, that is, Tao Quduo doesn't know when Lu Dao will have a schedule, and I don't know how much time it will take to give birth to a new script in the United States, so I don't know when Lu Dao's film will officially enter the filming process, and now the company only has one "Du Lala's Promotion" in the post-production, and the entire production department is idle. He Mu is still not very optimistic about "Durala", and I don't know if Lao Xu, who is seriously commercialized, can be accepted.
When traveling to Switzerland, He Mu and Zhang Zilin collected several famous watches during the day. In the evening, He Mu sent his script adapted from the novel of the same name "Lovers" (formerly known as "Dad, I'm Pregnant with Your Child") to Lan Chenxing, asking him and his team to help him optimize it, and if there is no problem, he will take it to radio and television for the record. He Mu felt that he was about to take action.
He Mu has always wanted to truly control a movie by himself. To be honest, "Glass Heart" has a lot of his shadow, the script is completed according to his ideas, he will occasionally make a cameo appearance as a director during the filming process, and he has made a lot of effort in post-processing, it can be said that "Glass Heart" condenses his and Tao Quduo's hard work, but after all, it is not his own hard work, Tao Quduo has paid the most for "Glass Heart", and "Glass Heart" greatly reflects Tao Quduo's wishes and ideas as a director. He Mu is just a producer and actor after all.
He Mu does not have the luxury of becoming a generation of famous directors now, and the idea of directing a movie is more about experiencing the life of a director. There is also the fact that He Mu and Xu Jinglei had some differences about the temperament of this movie when they first filmed "Durala", and finally He Mu listened to Xu Jinglei, in the final analysis, it was because she was the director, and that incident left a certain shadow in He Mu's heart, since he was the biggest director on the set, then he would be a director and complete a movie that really belonged to him by himself.
"Lovers" tells a simple love story, the plot is simple, the characters are simple, but it is very topical, it is very suitable for novice operations, and it doesn't cost a few dollars, if you don't invite big-name actors, the budget can definitely be controlled below 10 million, or even lower, even if you lose He Mu, you won't be too distressed, anyway, he is not bad for money now, he is a practicer, he has paid great attention to observing how the director directs over the years, and knows every aspect of film and television drama shooting well. Occasionally, he will lurk in the Chinese opera Beiying to take a theoretical class or something, which can be said to be a model of the combination of practice and theory, he feels that he has the basic conditions to become a director, and the level may not be so high, but how can he know his own gap if he doesn't operate it himself, so this time he wants to play by himself, uh, play a small practice.
Although he has never directed a movie, He Mu has made a lot of short films about his life, he always puts himself at the director level when he shoots, and the requirements for the camera are also very strict, not a joke, once filmed a potato running on the grass, the potato ran not elegantly enough, He Mu was stunned and dragged the poor little potato to run three times before giving it to him. In addition, He Mu will also be responsible for the post-editing and processing of his and Zilin's wedding video, he used a total of three cameras, and there is another one on the island, so much material was filmed for He Mu to edit and practice, as a filmmaker, he hopes to make the wedding video into a blockbuster texture, which is not impossible, He Mu is looking forward to the post-processing of the video after returning to China.
Traveling to Sweden, He Mu and Zhang Zilin have been out for half a month, getting closer and closer to the North Pole, and the weather is getting colder and colder. ”
Pregnant women always put their children first, because they were afraid that it would be too cold, Zhang Zilin always stayed in the hotel and didn't go out, so He Mu didn't want to go out, originally just wanted to take a while to accompany Zilin and make up for her previous neglect, so he chose to travel around Europe, but he ignored the adverse impact of Zilin's pregnant woman status on this trip, which made He Mu also want to return to China in advance, but think about waiting for Zilin to give birth to a child, there is an extra baby at home, and then thinking about the honeymoon trip of the two is a luxury, so He Mu is still a little reluctant.
What made He Mu decide to return to China ahead of schedule was the company's side, two film companies came to the door to seek cooperation, Chen Li couldn't be the master, so he notified He Mu, one of these two companies is LeTV Pictures, which made its debut with "Cyborg", and there is also a company called Starlight Film and Television Company, where have you heard this name......
