Chapter 410: Documentaries and Cartoons
Li Weiran hopes that Mrs. He and Mr. He can star in his new film, this lineup will definitely arouse the interest of the audience, and don't worry about the movie not selling well, but Mrs. He doesn't seem to be very convenient now, and he has nothing to do, next, LeTV's Zhang Zhao and Shuimu's He Mu seem to have favorite candidates, who should they listen to?
Zhang Zhao and He Mu glanced at each other, and He Mu spoke first, "Mr. Zhang said first." ”
"Then I'll say it first," Zhang Zhao was not humble at all, "I prefer the first beauty in Taiwan, Miss Lin Zhiling, Miss Lin and He are always good friends, I think you also know her, her serious and dedicated attitude is nothing to say, although she is a model, but after the catalysis of the two masterpieces of "Red Cliff" and "True Treasure", her reputation in the entertainment industry is no worse than those first-line actresses, and even surpasses it, and the most important thing is that Lin Zhiling has always been a goddess-level figure in the hearts of Chinese men, For her to complete this subversive performance, it is definitely an extraordinary visual enjoyment. ”
"Hey, what you said makes a lot of sense, why didn't I think of it before, and Zhiling and I have worked together so many times, and we are very familiar with each other's rhythm." He Mu agreed with Zhang Zhao's proposal, and it was really a good idea to let the beloved Lin Da beauty turn into a village girl.
Li Weiran reminded He Mu with a "cough", "Mr. He, what about your candidate?" ”
"Oh, uh," He Mu almost forgot his position, "By the way, I recommend Liu Shishi, what do you think?" ”
Director Li thought for a while, "Poetry is not bad." At least his acting skills are stronger than Lin Zhiling, and he has filmed so many popular TV series over the years, and the mass base is not bad. It's just that it seems to be a little green, and it's far worse than the charm of Lin Zhiling. ”
He Mu muttered in his heart, and the "pregnant taste" on Zilin's body is also incomparable.
Poetry and poetry have their own wins, poetry and poetry are cheap, the salary is cheaper than Zhiling, Zhiling has a comprehensive development, and has a certain overseas influence. Shishi's acting skills are better, Zhiling's charm is better, and both of them have had scandals with He Mu. At the beginning, Ling Mulian was a sensation, and He Mushishi's ambiguous rumors have not been broken, and it is even rumored that He Mu secretly met Liu Shishi before the wedding, which made Director Li embarrassed. Both actresses have worked with him. He had a good impression of both of them, "How should I choose such two beautiful women!" ”
Zhang Zhao said something clear at this time, "Sometimes it is not us who chooses others, it may be that people choose us, maybe people don't want to play the village girl, or people don't have a schedule at all, it's better to send an invitation to the two agents." See how they reacted. Zhang Zhao is betting that the young Shishi will not destroy her image for a movie, and she seems to have a tiger and wolf highlight to film. may not be able to coordinate the schedule, as for Lin Zhiling, hehe, in fact, he has already been in contact with her, Lin Zhiling is very interested in the role of "Chun Niang" he described, plus the partner is He Mu, presumably she has no possibility of refusing.
He Mu also felt that what Zhang Zhao said was right, whether a big beauty like Zhiling would act or not, there was no need to start worrying about which one to choose now, "Just according to what Mr. Zhang said, let's get in touch first, at the same time, our selection and setting work can be carried out at the same time, Director Li hopes to be closer to the western film picture style, I think the Dunhuang film base is good, the people of Shuimu will take you to that side for inspection, and the other main actors can also start to contact, I have a few suggestions here, we can discuss and discuss together......"
Zhang Zhao looked at He Mu's methodical arrangement of the preliminary preparations for the filming of the film, and secretly praised in his heart, it seems that he really can't be treated as a simple star, the rise of Mizuki is not accidental, this He Mu definitely has the mind of not being willing to live in the circle for a long time at the beginning of entering the circle, from his proficiency in the set of procedures for film production, it can be seen that he has put great thought into this aspect, I am afraid that he has been studying the rules of conduct of directors and producers since he made his first movie, At the same time, I think that having such a partner can indeed save a lot of worry,LETV is indeed relatively bottomless for film and television production,I hope that LETV's team can make relatively high progress with the help of this opportunity to cooperate with Mizuki。
After the National Day schedule, the film market faded again, waiting for the strongest blow of the Chinese New Year file, during this period, Huang Bo starring, Bona's release of "Stubborn Radish" is a relatively eye-catching small-budget movie, but the best performance is still a record of the late Michael Jackson's documentary "That's it", Mike's global influence is undoubted, there are also a large number of fans in China, countless people are crying for his death, and various activities to commemorate him have been launched all over the world, "That's it" is also one of them, And the performance in the domestic market is beyond many people's imagination.
No one can understand that a documentary similar to concert set footage can win 24 million in the first week, and more than 740,000 viewers went to the cinema to watch the documentary, and it was in such a bad schedule, sure enough, the influence of superstars is huge, and the success of "That's It" also created a record, that is, the highest box office in the mainland of the documentary, and it was already the highest in the same genre in just the first week.
Documentaries are a genre of movies This is absolutely undoubted, as long as they are superbly edited, reserved for the right amount of time, and put into the cinema, this is a movie commodity, in the United States, the documentary "Fahrenheit 911" released by Lionsgate has set a box office myth of more than 200 million US dollars worldwide, and even surpassed the world's highest-grossing Chinese film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (213 million $), so don't underestimate the power of documentaries, It's just that no one in China has made a documentary that is qualified to be released in cinemas.
There is also a cartoon released recently, "Astro Boy", Zilin was busy opening a company and didn't have time to pay attention to He Mu, in order to go to the cinema to watch this movie, He Mu pulled Xiao Fang's Xiangxiang, looking for other female friends is not as reassuring as Xiao Xiang, the two dressed as father and daughter and entered the cinema together.
Now people seem to have forgotten the little water point that has an outstanding performance in "Chang'an Chaos", after all, she has not acted for more than two years, there are too many short-lived child stars, like Yang Mi and Shu Chang, who have acted from childhood to adulthood, are a minority after all, but Xiao Fang is very satisfied with this, he doesn't want Xiao Xiang to start living under the chase of the media and paparazzi at a young age, and he has to accept the fingers and unreasonable criticism of netizens in every word and deed, thinking about Lin Miaoke's current situation, Xiao Fang is glad that his daughter is not popular, It's nice to be obscure now.
Fortunately, Xiangxiang is not well-known, He Mu put on two mustaches and directly pulled his temporary daughter to watch a movie, and the people who came to watch this film were basically adults with children, and no one would pay special attention to this handsome and beautiful father and daughter.
"Astro Boy" is a good memory of He Mu's era, Xiangxiang is too young, she is not familiar with this cartoon image at all, in her heart, the real animation idol should be the group of guys like Xiyangyang and Big Big Wolf, so before the movie starts, He Mu wants to introduce her to what Astro Boy is, how great he is, He Mu is very patient, maybe in a few years he can really take his children to watch the movie, the scene at that time should be similar to now, A middle-aged man sits in the cinema with a little Lori or a little Zhengtai, and the father is about to see the children before the movie starts.
"Astro Boy" is known to be the work of Osamu Tezuka, is a popular Japanese anime, this big movie version of "Astro Boy" is the first time that the Astro Boy theme has met the audience in the form of a movie, and this is an animated film jointly produced by the United States, Japan, and China.
The director of the film is the American David Brown. Bowers, the copyright of the original work comes from Japan, the animation director is Zhang Hanning, a Chinese animator who participated in the production of "Shrek", and the investor is Hong Kong's Imagi Animation, under the leadership of Zhang Hanning, with the efforts of 500 young animation students in Hong Kong, it finally took 5 years and nearly 500 million to complete this animated blockbuster, so it can actually be said that this is a Chinese cartoon with American and Japanese ancestry.
The film was released worldwide, and the dubbing was all big-name, the American version of Nicholas. Cage, the Japanese version is dubbed by Aya Ueto for Astro Boy, the Hong Kong version of Kwok Fu becomes the voice of Dr. Tianma, and the mainland version of the dubbing lineup is particularly strong, Xu Jiao plays Astro Boy, Zhang Tielin plays Dr. Tianma, Dong Hao plays Dr. Chashui, and Kona is played by the light host Xie Nan, and the mainland distributor of the film is also Light Media.
If you count the publicity costs, the cost of the film is probably more than 800 million, such a large movie budget is even rare for live-action Chinese movies, it can be seen that Yima Animation is confident in its own skills, He Mu and Xiangxiang also like it very much after watching it, if it is not written on the subtitles in the back, who will know that this is produced by the Hong Kong team, the full CG animation skills are completely comparable to Hollywood, which is much stronger than what "Morbius Ring" of the year, and the CG part of "The Secret of the Treasure Gourd" is also much more perfectBut unfortunately the market is not buying it.
"Astro Boy" was distributed by Summit Entertainment in the United States, with a large-scale screening of 3,000 screens, but it was only $6.7 million in the first week, and barely exceeded $10 million in the second week, and the final box office is not expected to exceed $20 million.
Seeing the sad urging of "Astro Boy", He Mu, who is a Chinese filmmaker, can't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox...... (To be continued......)
