Chapter 406: To act or not to act
Zhang Zhao is the former president of Guangguang Media, and now he is poached by Jia Yueting to develop LeTV's film business, he understands very well how much publicity and distribution play a role in the box office of a movie, and today's film companies are paying more and more attention to publicity and distribution, and the investment in this area is also increasing, and even the publicity cost exceeds the shooting cost. Mizuki Forest, a new company, is also very smart in terms of publicity, the company has been paying attention to recruiting talents in this area, and during the publicity period before the release of the movie, they will pop up one good idea after another in their minds, and these good ideas will become one of the important factors to attract the audience into the movie.
Zhang Zhao is very envious of Mizuki's group of flexible-minded propagandists, and after several films, Mizuki's distribution ability is getting stronger and stronger, and basically he can cooperate happily with every cinema chain, and the distribution coverage is far from being comparable to a new company like LeTV. Zhang Zhao made no secret of his trust and admiration for the publicity and distribution ability of Shuimu Forest,Before LETV's own distribution team has not been cultivated,This aspect needs to rely on external forces,He hopes that Shuimu can provide more support in this regard at that time,In return,Shuimu only needs to make a small head of the budget to share the interests with LETV,The interests here include box office and other copyright income,But the honor won by the film still belongs to LETVγ
To put it simply, Mizuki is responsible for part of the investment and publicity, and LeTV is responsible for most of the investment, and the benefits will be shared evenly at that time.
He Mu basically agrees with this form of cooperation, as for the details. How much to invest, this can be discussed in detail next, He Mu only needs to grasp the general direction.
In the general direction of cooperation. Zhang Zhao made another suggestion, "I wonder if Mr. Lu Daohe has ever thought about playing the actor Tang Gaopeng?" You haven't played this type of role yet, and I think someone like you who has a certain pursuit of acting should try it. β
"What does it mean to have a certain pursuit, I am very pursued, okay?" He Mu joked, but he was indeed a little moved, the character of Tang Gaopeng is a village chief, not very old. has the courage and measure, in order to lead the whole village to the road to prosperity, he almost gave up his little life, not that this character has depth. is a very simple and real person, occasionally a little cunning, quite responsible at critical moments, and the character creation is more brilliant. The performance is of medium difficulty. But for He Mu, this is a breakthrough.
He Mu, who was born in a rural family, has never acted as a farmer since his debut, and this is precisely the type of person he is most familiar with, Tang Gaopeng has a sloppy image, speaks an authentic Baoding dialect, and has both the village chief's groveling to his superiors and the authority of the villagers, He Mu directly copied their village party secretary.
Maybe He Mu's temperament is too good. has an outstanding image, and no one has ever thought of asking him to play a farmer after his debut for so many years. Even Chen Sicheng has played such a challenging role as a migrant worker, but He Mu has never had this opportunity, he has played so many roles, and Sun Shucai in "Red Cliff" is closer to a farmer, but he seems to have more fool attributes. Although He Mu's acting path is not narrow, he has played roles such as cashier, novelist, foreign company executive, athlete, monster, etc., but there are more roles and characters that he has not tried, and he is still limited to playing some decent roles in a not too wide framework after all.
If you want to jump out of this framework and enter a broader performance space, you must break the images you have created before, and play some unexpected roles that are very different from your own image, such as this Tang Village Chief.
He Mu is very eager to play some roles like peasants, murderers, and perverts, and the more extreme it is, the more clean and thorough it is, so that his stagnant acting skills can break through. However, He Mu did not immediately agree to Zhang Zhao, he still has a directing task, "Lovers" was originally scheduled to start filming next month, if he took "The Decisive Battle of Chama Town", he would have to postpone it again, and even wait until the New Year, whether it is more attractive to be a director or a more fulfilling role as a village chief, He Mu still has to ponder.
After sending Zhang Zhao away, He Mu asked Chen Li to follow up on the project of "Brake Town", as long as Shuimu came from less than 10 million and he had his own ideas, and He Mu had no doubts about Chen Li's work ability. In addition, Chen Li mentioned that the starry Mr. Xiong came back to the company in the afternoon, and He Mu said that he knew that he didn't expect to change the general manager in less than two years.
He Mu has no impression of the starry stars for a long time, he also deliberately checked on the Internet, when he saw the company's signed artist Jing Tian, He Mu remembered this company, they have already intersected, although they don't have a good impression of this company, but they still have to give face to talk about, they all eat together in this circle, there is no need to be so stiff, and it is not a big deal.
In the rest of the time in the office, He Mu checked the box office statistics of "Glass Heart", including the total box office of the movie, the box office of a single week, the proportion of the box office of the week, the weekly box office rough report of each theater and other data, speaking with numbers is what He Mu has always emphasized, since its release on September 4, "Glass Heart" has been in the cinema for seven weeks, and there can be 1.5 million in the sixth week, and the total box office has also survived to 114 million, and finally 115 million is not a problem, which has surpassed "Very Perfect" 's 108 million, becoming the highest box office among the films produced by Mizuki, coupled with the income from Japan, South Korea and other domestic channels, in the end, the film can bring at least more than 20 million net profits to the company, and it is the company's most profitable film so far.
Profit is not the most important thing, more importantly, "Glass Heart" is the first time He Mu starred as an absolute actor in a movie with a box office of more than 100 million, the significance of this movie to him is by no means 200 million "Painted Skin", 300 million "Red Cliff" and 400 million "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" can be compared, this film is a milestone in He Mu's acting career, starting from "Glass Heart" He Mu is a movie star who really has a certain box office appeal, as long as he cherishes his reputation in the future and makes more high-quality movies, "He Mu." "These two words will become a similar sign of conformity when people choose a movie.
"Glass Heart" is of great significance to He Mu, and it has a great relationship with Shuimu Forest, this is the first film that Shuimu invested alone and won a box office of over 100 million, "Very Perfect" was not born by his own mother, and his success Mizuki can only share a small part, and in the end, it was the dark horse posture of "Glass Heart" that made the industry begin to pay attention to Shuimu Forest, and also gave Shuimu a certain status in the industry.
He Mu was thinking about it, and the Tang Dynasty of the tiger wolf next door came to visit the door, he sat down opposite He Mu, and accidentally saw the script of "The Decisive Battle of Brake Town...... (To be continued......)
