Chapter 341: Magnolia Nomination

He Mu did promise Tao Quduo to let him use his strengths to make a horror film after filming "Glass Heart", provided that "Glass Heart" would not lose money, in order to give Tao Qu more time to prepare, He Mu promised to let him see the horror material he dreamed of after completing the work of "Glass Heart".

It's just, "It's just that you haven't finished the post-production yet, so now you are worried about whether the next film will be distracted?" He Mu said in a tone.

Tao Quduo hurriedly promised, "How could I be, this is my first feature film, it is my film debut, buddy will succeed or fail in the future, it depends on it, I can't wait to spend all my energy on this, even if I have the next movie hidden in my heart, I will never make it shoddy, I don't want you to deprive me of the right to shoot my next movie." ”

Tao Qu said sincerely, He Mu didn't tease him, he took two books from his office, namely "Art School Girls 1" and "Art School Girls 2", "This series of horror novels was originally serialized in the Tianya Forum, and was later discovered by Tiandi Xuanhuang, and these two were published successively, and the sales were also good, and there was a certain influence of the original work, but it was not very big, a few days ago I bought a batch of novel film adaptation rights, including these two books, I personally think that although it is a more patterned horror story, But there are still some new ideas, the theme of domestic horror films is too scarce, there were some such campus horror films in Hong Kong before, but there are not many good works, make some appropriate modifications to the story, pick a few reliable actors, it should be very outstanding......"

He Mu wanted to say a few more words, but Tao Quduo had already taken away the two novels. "I'm not in a hurry for this first, I'll take it back and taste it slowly, and watch a little bit every day before going to bed. This will not delay the post-production of "Glass Hearts". ”

He Mu nodded appreciatively, "I appreciate your attitude, it's not bad." He Mu's praise was especially in his ears, and the next day Tao Quduo came to the company with dark circles under his eyes, for what kind of dark circles did he have, because he had read novels all night, and he finished reading a book of nearly 200,000 words overnight. And the plot of the characters is remembered very clearly, and He Mu also has to say that he admires, but in order not to cause He Mu's dissatisfaction. He didn't discuss anything about horror fiction anymore, but really put his whole body and soul into the post-production of "Glass Hearts".

This time, He Mu was also closely involved in the post-production of the film, and gave full play to his authority as a producer, which also played a certain role in the formation of the film's style. Arguably, if the movie fails. He Mu has to bear a lot of responsibility, of course, if he succeeds, then he will naturally have a share of the credit.

During this period, He Mu also saw the final version of "Very Perfect", I dare not say that it is perfect, but it is very ornamental, the sense of humor is good, and the emotional part is slightly weak, but this is fine. It's not too sensational, and overall it's still a happy love movie. When I was filming before, I thought that Susan played by Zhang Ziyi was very funny. But after watching the feature film, I realized that Lu Dao was so funny, where is this still the dignified and international Zhang Ziyi before, it is too subversive.

Zhang Ziyi's subversive interpretation is refreshing, although Zhu Bingbing still takes the glamorous route, the bad beauty is still pleasing to the eye, and He Mu, as the male number one, only needs to make a handsome guy fall in love, which doesn't even require any acting skills for him, He Mu plays it easily, and he looks comfortable.

He Mu and Zhang Ziyi still have perfect space, the Korean company felt that the film was very successful after watching the finished film, as a directorial debut, Jin Yimeng used her excellent control and professional standards to make a good dish, whether it is the eyes of the Chinese or the Korean side of the view of her ability is very recognized, both parties feel that this film can kill China and South Korea, the prospect is very promising.

Now the schedule of "Very Perfect" has basically been set, it will be released nationwide in mid-August, and now there are still more than two months before the schedule, a trailer has been announced in Cannes, and the director will take the trailer to be announced in the mainland after a slight modification, officially kicking off the prelude to the promotion of the film, the publicity work is mainly handed over to Shuimu Forest to do, and Perfect Space will also use its own channels to promote the film.

At this time, the Cannes International Film Festival in France was about to end, Zhang Ziyi flew over again, as a judge, she needed to announce the award-winning works with her friends, He Mu did not go, although he was the producer of "Spring Breeze Drunk", but the film was not very favorable, He Mu was too lazy to pass, but told the director Lou Ye to be sure to attend, and the necessary politeness was still necessary.

In fact, there is no need for He Mu to advise, Lou Ye is also going, although the score of "Spring Breeze Drunk" at the film festival is not very high, but it is a little higher than the evaluation of the works of the other three Chinese directors, which is a bit unexpected, if "Spring Breeze Drunk" was the Chinese film with the smallest winning rate before the film festival began, then now it is the Chinese film with the most ability to impact the awards, achieving a small counterattack.

"This shot is good, it should be kept."

"Well, Mr. Su, this reservation is connected with the one just now."

Tao Quduo and He Mu were cutting films in the post-production room, when Xiao Nan ran in and brought good news to He Mu.

""Spring Breeze" has won an award!"

"Spring Breeze Drunken Night" did win the award, not the Best Film Palme d'Or, nor the Best Director, let alone the Best Actor and Actress, but the script that is considered by many professionals to be the weakest link in the film won the Best Screenplay Award, and it is the only one among the four Chinese directors to win the award, and it is also the first time that a Chinese filmmaker has won this award.

The screenwriter of this film is associate professor Mei Feng, a teacher of the Chinese Department of Beiying, He Mu has been in his class many times before, and has learned a lot of professional knowledge of screenwriting, although He Mu did not pay tuition, but also regarded him as a teacher, because of He Mu's celebrity status, Teacher Mei also had some additional guidance for him.

After hearing the news, He Mu first called Mr. Mei to congratulate him, because it is a personal award, and the trophies and other honors do not belong to the filmmaker, at that time, Director Lou Ye will bring the trophy back to Associate Professor Mei, and Associate Professor Mei Feng also congratulated He Mu, although it is not the biggest award, but a best screenwriter is already good for "Spring Breeze Drunk", at least there is an award-winning project in Cannes, and it will be much easier for the film to be distributed overseas, which is equivalent to a layer of gold. Associate Professor Mei Zhilu said that this big-name star who often comes to skip classes is one of the investors of his film.

After winning the Cannes award, He Mu's good luck continued, with the opening of the Shanghai International TV Festival, the list of nominations for the 15th Magnolia Award was also announced, and He Mu once again became the object of heated discussion in the media.

This is not so much He Mu's good luck, but the good luck of the tiger wolf, because the "True Treasure" and "My Captain, My Group" produced by the tiger wolf are both big favorites to win awards, and of course, there is another big hit "Latent" for the Magnolia Award.

The nominations for these three dramas are the same, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and almost all important awards have been awarded, Guo Baochang, Kang Honglei, Jiang Wei were nominated for Best Director, He Mu, Sun Honglei, Duan Yihong were nominated for Best Actor, and He Mu, Li Wenhua, and Bei Sihan were also nominated for the Best Screenplay Award.

There are a total of five awards in the main unit of the Magnolia Awards, and four of the three popular dramas have been awarded, only the Best Actress is vacant, "True Treasure" is because Lin Zhiling's acting skills are average, "The Leader" is because there is no heroine who is too heavy, Yao Chen of "Latent" is actually good, but the other five nominees are also strong, so it is a pity that they were not selected.

If there is no sudden killing of "Latent", Xiao Fang is confident that Magnolia will be the game of the tiger and wolf family, although the drama "Regiment Leader" has caused some controversy, the word of mouth is polarized, and it is not as successful as "Soldier Assault", but it is still more successful than most domestic TV series of the same period in comparison, which is beyond doubt.

Among the three major domestic TV drama awards, the Golden Eagle Award takes public reputation as the main reference, the Feitian Award is biased towards the main theme, Magnolia flaunts professionalism, He Mu can be nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenwriter in Magnolia, which shows that his performance and screenwriting level have been recognized by professionals, which makes He Mu a little embarrassed.

During the TV Festival, He Mu also went to the magic capital several times to promote his TV series "True Treasure" and "Good Man of the Tang Dynasty" overseas, "True Treasure" has now gone out of many countries, and its influence is unprecedentedly strong, and many overseas filmmakers met He Mu because of "True Treasure", and because He Mu began to pay attention to "Good Man of the Tang Dynasty".

The excellence of "True Treasure" lies in the promotion of traditional Chinese culture, through a piece of cultural relics will tell our history and culture, the play covers a wide range, tea ceremony, Confucianism, Buddhism, tomb culture, etc., and even some TV critics said that "True Treasure" is only a pity to be performed in 08 years, it can continue to be filmed, China's 50 million traditional culture still has a lot to write about, these things people don't like to read in books, but through the TV series interpretation of idol stars, it immediately became a trendy culture, In fact, this is a very good way to publicize.

"A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty" is not as extensive as "True Treasure", it only focuses on depicting the prosperous Tang Dynasty in a period. This is He Mu's first work as a producer, he mainly hopes to show a picture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty through the perspective of a modern person through this drama, which is the most glorious time in Chinese history, and it is also the first deepest impression of the people of the world to the Chinese, the main charm of "Tang Nan" is that it restores the history of that period as much as possible, whether it is the big historical figures or the lives of the small people in the market, it has done enough work to withstand the critical eyes of history lovers.

Now He Mu has a high reputation in Asia, and with him personally attending the promotion, it is much easier for TV series to sell...... (To be continued......)
