There are too many topics at today's Shuimu Forest Film Promotion Conference, with big names gathered on the field, and the hands of reporters taking pictures and shooting are cramping, and their mouths are dry when they ask questions.

Although the five movies are strong and weak because of the scale of investment and casting, they have all attracted attention because of the name Shuimu Forest, and even the weakest "My Beauty Boss" can talk about the comparison between the two versions. Not to mention the commercial film debut of Xu Jinglei, one of the four dans, and the comedy boutique that Mu Shi cooperated with again after three years, when people opened the entertainment section of major portals the next day, the screen was full of news about these movies, and each news had related words about He Mu and Shuimu Forest, which was very shocking and gave people a strong visual impact.

Recently, the only related topics in the film are "Love in the City" and "Big Soldier" were released, and Wang Lihong's directorial debut "Love Notice" can occupy a little bit of space in the cracks of Mizuki movies, and people are discussing what kind of box office miracle Mizuki will create this year, and more is saying that He Mu has become independent from a small actor from a tiger wolf, and has created such a big momentum in just over a year, which can be called a commercial wizard and a legend in the film industry, I believe that no one will treat him as an ordinary actor since then.

Of course, Shuimu Forest also has to pay a certain price for these momentum, and the publicity scope covering the whole network can be called a large amount, and each website needs to be put in place, but it is still very cost-effective to spread it evenly on each movie, which is the benefit of collective publicity, not only powerful, but also affordable.

The first thing that showed effect was the fame of the upcoming movie version of "My Beauty Boss", and the distribution work went a lot smoother. But even if there is no Mizuki to promote it. He Mu is not worried about the sale of this film, because Wanda Cinemas, the largest cinema chain in China, has promised to fully support the large-scale release of the film, which is by no means for He Mu's face. The relationship between Starlight and Wanda is very close, and even Mizuki has also hooked up with Wanda through Starlight, and at that time, Mizuki's "Durala" and "Brake Town" will carry out a series of close cooperation with Wanda, which is all under the surface.

Even the phenomena on the surface made many film company bosses worried, He Mu scheduled the film from March to July, and indicated which month and day each movie was released. No film company has ever played this before, and he did this in the hope that the publicity work would be more targeted and the schedule would be determined. The determined type of film and the clear orientation of the audience are more conducive to the understanding and tracking of the audience and fans who are interested in them, so as to form a good market feedback when they are released.

However, He Mu's hand scared many film company bosses. He Mu's performance was like a rainbow. Unstoppable, those shoddy works that are purely for the sake of making money and shoddy works naturally dare not compete with Mizuki's films, and they have already planned to be released on a certain day, but it happened to be the same day as Mizuki's movie, in order to avoid being hurt by Mizuki's edge, they can only change the schedule. Even if a film company with more confidence is more confident, it doesn't dare to say that it will definitely be able to compete with He Mu's super popularity. are also considering whether they should avoid the edge for the time being, and only giants such as Huayi Brothers and Bona Film will smile indifferently. In the face of He Mu's pressure on them, he said indifferently, "If the schedule doesn't change, I'm afraid that he will be a ball." Then as soon as he turned around, he immediately went to contact the CEOs of major theaters, hoping that there would be a little more film scheduling at that time, at least more than Mizuki's movies.

After working for a long time, He Mu rushed to Xiao He Cultural Building again, and in the car, Xiao Nan sighed vigorously, "That starry person is really generous, 10 million asked you to make a movie, this is a sky-high price, but you are still angry enough, uncle, so I directly refused." ”

Xiao Nan said that at the end of the event, Xiong Da, the star-studded general manager of Jing Tian's brokerage company, sent a movie invitation to He Mu and quoted a sky-high salary of 10 million, but he refused.

He Mu hehe, "10 million is actually quite tempting for me, after all, I am an actor, and I am still a little vanity in terms of salary, and I heard Lao Xiong say that there are Kim Hee-sun and Wu Zhenyu who cooperate with him, I like Wu Zhenyu very much, if the script is good, I also want to make other companies' movies, the fault is that he shouldn't be so anxious to show me the script, but he missed the cowardice, Sun Bin's story was originally very good, the art of war, conspiracy, revenge, too much can be written, but they write too rubbish, actually fabricated the love story of Sun Bin and Tian Ji's daughter, and occupied too much space, the epic blockbuster is not welcomed now, and the script is so sparse, obviously to praise Jing Tian's approach, if I really play Sun Bin, it is a self-destruction signboard. ”

As an actor, the most unbearable thing for He Mu is not the immaturity of the new director, not the constraints of small costs, nor the unaccustomed to foreign films, but the improvisation of the script, which is the most unbearable for him, he has always insisted that movies should be story-based, so he directly refused the starry invitation, for the sake of friendship, the reason He Mu gave was that he had to shoot the rest of "First Love Diary" after filming "Cold Heart", and then he was preparing his first feature film, and he couldn't get out.

Xiong Da was in awe after hearing this, expressed his sincere admiration for He Mu, and then asked the heroine if she could consider Jing Tian, his star-studded star and Wanda Cinema would give He Mu unimaginable support for this movie, He Mu thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, the heroine is only nine years old, I'm afraid Miss Jing Tian can't act." ”

Xiong Da had no choice but to give up, and Jing Tian on the side also showed a disappointed expression.

This is not a fool, this is He Mu's true thoughts, after filming "First Love Diary", he will have to prepare for his first feature film, the accumulation of five years of acting career makes him full of reverie and expectation for the identity of the director, especially the film director, after all, he can't help but continue to silently accumulate ability, he is ready to release it a little this year, "First Love Diary" is not counted, the pattern is too small, not enough for him to release.

This time, I made an appointment with Li Wenhua and Bei Sihan, just to ask them to help them staff how to write this script, and there will always be some good ideas when the three stinkers get together.

On the small round table, there are six copies of "Zi Bu Yu" 1 and 2, one set for each of the three people, He Mu spoke first, "Both of them have read it many times, let's talk about it, what do you think." ”

Xia Da's "Zi Bu Yu" and the Qing Dynasty great writer Yuan Mei's "Zi Bu Yu Collection" has a certain inheritance relationship, telling the story of some ghosts, gods and demons, although Zi Bu Yu is strange and confused, but it is also a good means to use ghost satire to reflect the social status quo at that time, including Pu Songling's "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei", Ji Xiaolan's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", which are all fantasy stories with traditional Chinese characteristics, even if the political purpose is excluded, it is also very interesting from the perspective of the story. is like Xia Da's "Zi Bu Si", just writing about love and reflecting his love for nature, but because of the relevant regulations of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, adapting this comic will have a certain risk, and he may not even be qualified to be released in the end. Li Wenhua said.

He Mu replied, "We can try to avoid ghost-like characters, and just write more monsters." ”

Bei Sihan said, "Now that "Zi Bu Yu" has reached the 12th chapter, a total of 12 stories, Director He, do you want to make a movie, or a series of movies, is it a small story corresponding to a movie or several stories make up a movie, or do you use the framework and characters of the comic book to design the storyline yourself?" ”

"Correct," He Mu smiled, "It's 13 stories, Xia Da has already told me the plot of the latest comic she is drawing, this is called "Crane Death", I'll tell you about it......"

"Zi Bu Yu" is composed of a small story, each story is full of philosophy, the protagonist is a nine-year-old girl, named Xiao Yu, she moved to her hometown with her parents, because of her own special encounter with all kinds of demons and monsters, in the refreshing little humor and mysterious adventure, including nature and people, unchangeable laws, how to look at certain people and things and other themes, is a very good comic work, in Japan also has a high degree of circulation and popularity, This unfinished 13th story tells the story of the love of a crane and a general, with the theme of "Willing to match virtue and join hands with each other." Don't fly away, make me fall", with the legend of the crane-patterned blood-colored jar in the antique store as the main clue, with the love story of the big star Luo Wei and the novelist husband as the secondary line, mixing ancient and modern time and space to tell a sad love tragedy.

"Okay, now there are a total of 13 stories," Li Wenhua wrote down on paper, "Cocoon, Wood Hibiscus, Shadow, Old Carpenter, Fox Marrying, Mid-Autumn Festival, Migratory Birds, White Snakes, Tigers, Lethes, Frost, Weasels, and Cranes." ”

Xiaobei urged He Mu, "You haven't answered my answer just now, is it a film or a series?" ”

He Mu thought about it seriously, "Some of these 13 stories are a little related, some are not related, although each story is short, but it is worth writing a big book, it is unrealistic to make 13 movies, this is not 007, but I suffer too much to make a movie, I bought the film adaptation rights of all the stories under this title, including those that have been drawn and those that have not been drawn, so let's write the script according to the scale of the trilogy, determine the overall framework of a series, and then only write the first part, I'll shoot it first to see the effect, and if the loss is too bad, I won't write the next two scripts. He Mu instinctively thought that the investment in this movie would not be small, how to say that this is also a magic movie.

Xiaobei wrote a "three" on the paper, and the next thing to do is to think about how to distribute these stories...... (To be continued......)
