Chapter 756: The New Drama Finishes (End of this Volume - End of the Book)
At the end of August, after filming the last shot of "The Dust Settles", the physically and mentally exhausted creative staff finally breathed a sigh of relief, during the reshoot, because of the harsh natural conditions, the crew still had some miscellaneous accidents, but fortunately, the two core directors of the crew, Chen Kaige, and the starring He Mu survived this difficult period and ensured the quality of the film.
At the finale banquet, Chen Kaige said that he would take a break for a month before starting the later stage, He Mu felt very reasonable, "Yes, Director Chen has worked hard during this time." ”
"It's worth the effort, and I'll take the film to Cannes when I'm done." Chen Kaige was ambitious.
Cannes is his blessed land, where the best film in the history of Chinese cinema "Farewell My Concubine" was released, and became the only Chinese film to win the Cannes Palme d'Or.
Now, "The Dust Settles" has given Chen Kaige enough confidence, Zhongying and Shuimu gave him this opportunity, he filmed this story so shockingly, and He Mu played this role so crazy, if he didn't win the award, he might really wonder if he was really no longer suitable to be a director.
After the movie was completed, He Mu immediately returned to Beijing to participate in the celebration of the 500 million box office of "The Ladder of Love", and just a few days ago, he just missed the 1.2 billion box office celebration of "Tomb Robbery Notes", so he could only call Tao Qu to congratulate him.
The success of "Tomb Raider Notes" was expected, but it was more than expected. Just the box office revenue, the investment in the first part was fully recovered and a lot of money was made.
The film won 1.14 billion at the box office in the first four weeks, beating "Brain Heavenly Palace" at the beginning of the year. Temporarily ranked first in the Chinese film of the year, "Transformers 4" chose to draw after a full month of release, and received a super high box office of 1.87 billion, more than the North American box office, and "Tomb Robbery" extended the key after that, I think it is expected to break the Chinese film history record of 1.258 billion in "Thai Embarrassment", but unfortunately too many movies have exploded. "Small Times 3", "There Will Be No Future", and "The Ladder of Love" have exceeded 500 million one after another, attracting a large number of films and audiences, and "Tomb Robbery" had to be fixed at 1.215 billion. After all, the god-like "Thai Embarrassment" was not picked off, and the number of moviegoers was nearly 10 million.
However, "Tomb Robbery" surpassed "Zi Bu Yu 3" and successfully promoted to the second box office in the history of Chinese films, and it is worth being proud that the top three Chinese film box office list "Thai Embarrassment" 1.258 billion, "Tomb Robbery Notes" 1.215 billion, and "Zi Bu Yu 3" 1.181 billion are all works of Shuimu Forest. And "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is a series of movies. "Hong Kong Embarrassment" after "Thai Embarrassment" is also preparing for filming, and in the future, director Xu Zheng will also shoot "Embarrassment" and other embarrassment series, they are all seed players who update the box office record of Chinese films, and each one has the potential of more than one billion.
The high box office of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is expected, and "The Ladder of Love" is unexpected, when it was released, Han Han's "After the End" had exceeded 500 million, and later surpassed "Small Times 3", which was released a week earlier. At this time, the film market was already very lively, with popular movies such as "Notes on Tomb Robbery", "Small Times 3", and "The Future". Later, in order to compete for the Qixi Festival schedule, "Girlfriends", "The White-Haired Witch's Tomorrow's Empire", and "The Ladder of Love" also rushed to land.
Among these three new films, "The White-Haired Witch" is the most optimistic because of its blockbuster temperament, but unfortunately the word-of-mouth has been extreme, and "The Ladder of Love", which was released one day later, has an amazing reputation, and it has accumulated a super high popularity on the first day of release, and finally broke out on the day of the Chinese Valentine's Day, winning 102 million box office on the same day, leaving "The White-Haired Witch" and "Girlfriends" far away.
However, because there are too many popular movies in the same schedule, the box office of "The Ladder of Love" is not as big as "Tomb Robbery" or even "Small Times 3" and "After the End", the highest box office is 102 million on Saturday Qixi Festival, which is also considered to be the first few in 2D movies, but the other dates are more normal, with a box office of 210 million in the first three days, and Saturday accounts for half.
After the word-of-mouth of "The Ladder of Love" continued to ferment, many people were not interested in this kind of pure love story of grandpa and grandmother, but they were persuaded by people who had seen it that they should go and see it, the touching story of the movie is on the one hand, and the other soundtrack, art, and shots are very blockbuster, and the rhythm is bright and not dull, after the 118-minute movie, it makes people feel unfinished and have endless aftertaste.
Stimulated by word-of-mouth, "The Ladder of Love" re-entered 160 million in the second week, 95 million in the third week, and 51 million in the fourth week, successfully exceeding 500 million, and the decline was much lower than that of "After the End" and "Small Times 3" in the same period, which is due to the fact that there are no high-quality blockbusters in the popular schedule of August, only the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" at the end of the month is somewhat threatening, and the rest, the poetry Zhang Zhen's "Embroidered Spring Knife" was poorly publicized, and it was not popular, and the reputation of "How to Train Your Dragon 2" was far inferior to its predecessor, Gu Tianle's "Anti-Corruption Storm" Without Qingyun Yanzu's iron triangle lineup, the attractiveness of the lineup has been greatly reduced, and although "The Four Famous Catches 3" has two popular male and female stars, Deng Chao and Liu Yifei, they are also powerless for this rotten series.
So "The Ladder of Love" continued to soar after extending the key, as a literary love movie, although the first half was not so fierce, but full of stamina, by the end of September, the box office had accumulated as high as 623 million, becoming a 600 million-level high-grossing movie after the 651 million in the summer file, and some people even speculated that as long as this movie continues to be released, it is possible for the box office to break 700 million, because there are still many couples who have not seen enough, This is indeed a classic romance movie that is enough to leave a name in film history, and the movie perfectly presents a real love epic.
Yu Feihong also squeezed out Xue Xiaolu and became the second highest box office female director of Chinese films. The first is, of course, director Zhao Wei of "To Youth", the box office of 785 million still seems to be terrifying, and it is still a debut work.
When "The Ladder of Love" entered the end of the screening. Shuimu Forest's 3D thriller blockbuster "Beijing No. 81" once again unexpectedly became the darling of the box office, breaking the box office record of Taoquduo's horror films, and at this time, He Mu also invested in "Xi. Before the filming of "Year", before the start of filming, He Mu was ready to secretly go to the United States with the permission of Zilin.
Shishi took advantage of the few months when her stomach was not yet pregnant to deal with all the remaining work on her hands, and Datang served as the agent of the two. is also one of Xiao Hetang's Big Three, of course he knows what the two of them are about, so Shishi's work in the second half of the year, including next year, was all pushed away by him. The literary "Muslim's Funeral", which was originally scheduled to appear in Shishi, was also postponed.
Now Shishi's belly is a little bulging, and she can't hide it anymore, if she is photographed by a reporter like this, the entertainment industry will definitely be restless again. Including He Mu will also be brought up again. Although there is "Flood Beast" as evidence, if Shishi becomes a pot-bellied woman, He Mu will definitely be the primary object of suspicion.
So Shishi ran to the United States when she felt that it was almost over, and the reason for leaving it to domestic fans was to recharge and study, He Mu was going to see how she settled down this time, it was unrealistic to want to put Shishi and Zilin together, Zilin was able to do this part, He Mu was very moved, and He Mu was embarrassed if it was too much. So it's better to separate, it's a big deal that he will run at both ends in the future. If you are tired, you can be tired.
He Mu's main job in the 14th and 15th years was to direct a movie "Xi. years", and starred in Li Wenhua's new film, "Piracy Tycoon" based on his father, just these two, the rest of the time is to accompany two families in China and the United States, ready to welcome the arrival of a new life, and do their best to promote the upcoming "Shuke and Beta", "Wolf Totem", and "Dust Settled", which are scheduled to be released in the Chinese New Year, Spring Festival and summer respectively.
"Eki. In his script, it combines the two most mainstream statements in China, "Nian" is not only to repel the night beast and sacrifice his own young man, but also to ravage the monster of the township, He Mu pinned his desire for family in this movie, he believes that after the movie is made, the reflective part of the film must be more profound than the visual effects part, and it is more timeless, although the visual effects of this movie will also be very, very shocking.
Although the heroine of the movie is Xiao Shuidian, the real scene is full of the two monsters, Xi and Nian, so from another point of view, this is also a monster movie, but it is not for the purpose of scary, it is about culture, inheritance and blood.
During the time when "The Dust Settled" was suspended, He Mu had basically made preparations, and with the preparation during this time, the movie finally started in October.
The filming of the film lasted four months, with a combination of live-action footage and a lot of footage done in front of a green screen, followed by nearly a year of post-production, and the film may not be released until 2016.
During the period of He Mu's filming, he rarely appeared in front of the public, but he also knew everything outside, mainly news in the field of film, such as "Heart Flower Road" box office hit the National Day file, and he couldn't stop at all, and almost picked off the annual crown of "Tomb Robbery Notes", but unfortunately stopped at 1.16 billion, but the terrible box office ability of Huang Bo and Xu Zheng has been recognized, and for example, Chen Kexin's "Dear" has a good reputation, the box office is bright, and it is expected to show its might at the second Golden Dragon Awards. For example, "Golden Age" directed by Xu Anhua lost the box office and lost its reputation, but the sincerity of the director and the actors was moving.
There is also the shattering of the myth of Zhen Zidan, because there are too many bad movies, and he has dropped his temperament, and now he has made a good "One Man's Martial Arts", but no one is cheering.
He Mu also paid attention to the Golden Horse Awards in November, Chen Jianbin won three awards alone, crowned the Golden Horse actor, and was the biggest winner, "Tuina" and "Fireworks in the Day" were treated in the Golden Horse and the Berlin Film Festival diametrically opposite, the Golden Horse actress was won by the actress of Taiwan, which was controversial, etc., one of the biggest features of this year's Golden Horse Awards is that there is almost zero reporting in the mainland, unlike the previous major portal sites competing to report, this year's mainland has collectively silenced the Golden Horse, and sporadic reports are also focused on Chen Jianbin and the Golden Horse big winner "Tuina".
On the other hand, the nominations for the Golden Dragon Awards have not yet been announced, but the media and the Internet have already hyped up, and everyone is guessing who will be the best actor and actress this year.
When the list of nominees was announced on the Internet in mid-January, "Shuke and Beta", "One Step Away", and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", the three former Chinese New Year blockbusters were in full swing, and the annual crown of "Tomb Robbery Notes" and "Heart Flower Road" had been lost, and He Mu was holding a finale banquet, after seeing the long list, He Mu smiled, fortunately, he had a Best Actor nomination this time, and finally had the face to rub the red carpet.
The Golden Dragon Award ceremony is in March, He Mu has already planned, during the period before the award, he will accompany Shishi in the United States to give birth to the child, and the delivery date is in February, but what should the child be called?
Well, go home and ask his sister Bayi's opinion, she's a ghost girl with a lot of ideas...... (To be continued......)
