Chapter 478: Rubik's Cube Pictures

Yesterday's experience was just a painless episode for He Mu, the important thing was that the loan was won, and then Li Tianfu cried and shouted hoping that Hu Xing would forgive him, He Mu also kindly helped him say a few good words, and reminded him not to make bad friends by mistake, and the fat man was moved, it was really a straw bag, it is estimated that he will definitely spit two mouthfuls of saliva when he sees Wang Zhonglei in the future, and then walk around.

The next day, He Mu has been running to the bank, wanting to implement the loan as soon as possible, but after all, it is more than 100 million, not a small amount, even if there is a green light all the way to the beard tree, the procedures that should be done are still unavoidable, I am afraid that it will take a week to get the money. On the American side, Jeff needs He Mu to assist him with 7 million US dollars, or more than 40 million yuan, which is just within He Mu's affordable range, he remitted the money to Jeff, Jeff told him to go to Los Angeles quickly, he wants to discuss some related matters about their company, Jeff used "us", it seems that He Mu's 7 million US dollars must not be regarded as borrowed, it should be regarded as forced to join, he doesn't want to get it back.

After a busy day, there are steaming leftovers when I get home, the family has already eaten, my mother and wife are sitting on the sofa watching TV with relish at the moment, it is a blind date program on Jiang Sutai, using the name of Feng Xiaogang's movie, according to these two women, this is a new show, very good, He Mu swept his eyes, it is indeed very interesting. The host and guests are all bald, the guests don't know each other, and the words are very sharp, the host is Meng Fei, the host of Jiang Su Channel, He Mu has seen it at the premiere of "The King of Kung Fu", and later participated in the recording of Jiang Su Channel's programs several times. In addition, they are both billiards lovers, so the relationship between the two is relatively close, and He Mu admires his typhoon very much.

After lulling my wife to sleep at night. He Mu continued to write and draw in a pencil notebook, the first time he was a director, he was still under a lot of pressure, perfectionists are like this, or don't do it, do it and do it best, provided that he still maintains a strong interest in this matter.

Although he already had the picture described in the script in his mind. Including the setting of the scene, the use of the lens, the movement of the actors, etc., but no matter how smart the brain is, the capacity is limited, and a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. With the script, he also had to write out the corner book, and even made a few hand-drawn drawings of the storyboards that he thought were more classic and important, but fortunately, his painting skills have always been there. Although it is far from Zhang Yueyue. But the storyboard hand-drawn drawings of a movie are enough, and with these pictures, He Mu has a more general picture style for the picture he wants to express.

At three o'clock in the morning, He Mu turned on the computer, logged on to Tudou.com, and at He Mu's suggestion, a small program called "This Week's Box Office List in the Mainland" was produced by Shuimu Forest Pictures under his name and Yien Consulting and other databases, without a host. There is no studio, only a narrator. Interspersed with movie trailers, with a relaxed and cheerful voice, starting from the fifth place, the box office situation in the mainland this week is introduced one by one.

The fifth place is a new film from Japan, the theatrical version of "Detective Conan" released by Huaxia Films, which has only 950,000 in the first week, less than one million, and Japanese films have never had much market in the mainland.

The fourth place is "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" released by New Picture/Huaxia, 1.2 million, with a total of 260 million; the third place is "October Siege" released by Bona, 6.5 million, with a total of 290 million; the second place is Cheng Long's new Hollywood film "Agent Next Door", with a box office of 16.5 million in the first week of three days, and China Film released, this result can only be said to be average, I have to admit that it is no longer the golden age of Cheng Long's action movies, even if He Mu's two movies of over 100 million yuan in 09 are stronger than this, However, Brother Long's Western films have never worked well in the mainland, and he can only hope that his "Big Soldier" can save some face, and He Mu, who has read the script, feels that it is a very emotional story, a good story.

Of course, there is no suspense in the first place, it must be "Avatar", in the second week, its popularity has not decreased, there is still a terrifying 235 million, with a total box office of 520 million, that is to say, this super giant film only took two weeks and 14 days to refresh the mainland film history record again, and its predecessor "2012" only lasted for a month before "Avatar" was cut down, and now it is only the second highest box office in the mainland, and this gap will continue to increase, because "Avatar" still has a long way to go in the future.

Nowadays, "Avatar" has become a social phenomenon, although there are a variety of screening forms, but you can watch 3D without watching 2D, you can watch IMAX without watching 3D has become a movie standard for many people, IMAX This fresh viewing experience instantly swept the mainland, there are only 12 IMAX screens in the country, less than 1% of the number of screens screened in "Avatar", but the box office accounts for 6.6%, He Dad once said to He Mu that their IMAX screen plays "Avatar" 24 hours a day, but movie tickets are still in short supply, The venue is full, even in the most rubbish time period, he is now really envious of Wanda Cinema with 4 IMAX screens, which is simply like picking up money, and now the metropolis has begun to invest in more 3D projection equipment, and if possible, they will continue to build IMAX giant screens.

How popular is "Avatar" in China now, in the last week, this movie accounted for 85% of the country's box office, and other movies have almost no room to survive, in order to see this god film, some low-income people save money and only ask for a vote, and long queues of people can be seen in the capital outside the big movie theaters across the country, so a prosperous scalper business has been derived, and some people have become rich first.

"Mainland This Week's Box Office List" was placed on the homepage of Tudou.com, and it has already had nearly 100,000 hits in just a few hours, this is the first video to introduce the box office ranking in China, which can make people intuitively feel the current trend of the film market, plus "Avatar" is popular at this time, many people click in just to take a look at the trailer of "Avatar" and feel its shocking box office figures.

He Mu also shared this video on Weibo, and if you want to pay attention to the weekly box office in the future, you just need to watch this series of videos.

"Avatar" has a super high box office of nearly 500 million US dollars in his hometown in the United States, and in China it has successfully exceeded 500 million yuan, and will sit on the top seven this week, and the only domestic film that can hope to snipe this super blockbuster is "Confucius" by Fa Ge on the 22nd, and the film has now started a promotional campaign, and another popular Chinese film "No Man's Land" has been officially determined to miss the New Year, the exact news has flowed out, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will not approve the film, either refrigerated, or delete some clips to seek release, it depends on how Ning Hao chooses.

Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

He Mu accompanied his wife Zhang Zilin to do a pregnancy test, this time he finally saw his child through the instrument, just a dark mess, already with a human shape, the doctor said that he (she) is very healthy, the little guy occasionally moves his little arms and legs, it seems that he is still an active naughty bag, and it will definitely give his (her) mother a headache in the future, He Mu has now begun to discuss with Zilin, in the future, in the family education He Mu will play a red face, Zilin will play a white face, so the problems and headaches are all mother's, and his father only enjoys the joy of family.

Before going home, He Mu accompanied Zilin to buy a lot of books on prenatal education, almost filling the reserve car, Zilin decided to eat all these books before the child landed, she not only learned by herself, but also forced He Mu to learn, so when He Mu got on the plane to Los Angeles, he has been holding a "Scientific Prenatal Education Book" to study carefully, not to read it, after returning to China, his wife has to take the exam, alas, it is not easy to be a father.

This time I came to the United States not to prepare for filming in the crew, but for Jeff's newly established film company, and to talk about "Cold Heart" by the way.

Jeff bought a small film company directly from Los Angeles and renamed it Rubik's Cube Pictures, although he himself does not like to play Rubik's Cube, but he feels that the Rubik's Cube is a symbol of wisdom and mystery, and there are many possibilities on the six sides, which also represents his expectations for the diversified development of this company.

Although Rubik's Cube Pictures is small but complete, with production capabilities and certain distribution capabilities, buying a film company directly can save a lot of construction trouble, and it can also get the film into the production process as soon as possible, only by making some achievements quickly can this small company not become a short-lived ghost in the pan, Hollywood companies that only make one movie and go out of business abound.

Rubik's Cube Pictures is not Jeff's alone, after all, it is difficult to support alone, and for this cause, he brought his principled and super-principled friend Robin from Lionsgate. Binsein, the two divided the Rubik's Cube Pictures in a ratio of 7:3 according to the amount of capital and the size of the role of the company, I have to say that there is a Chinese wife who can save money, Jeff's savings are much more than Robin's French wife, if it is not for the special care of this old guy who is willing to work hard with him, Robin can't even get three-tenths of the shares, at most two percent of the shares.

The acquisition of the film company and the purchase of the "Cold Heart" project from Lionsgate almost cost most of the funds in the hands of Jeff and Robin, so that the "Cold Heart" project did not have enough start-up capital, although they made movies in the United States, they had many ways to reduce risks, such as a movie with a budget of 10 million may be completed for six or seven million, and the rest of the expenses, including actors' salaries, can be paid after the movie is released and profitable, the union is not vegetarian, and no film company dares not to give it, And they also have a preferential tax rebate policy, sometimes a film can get up to a dozen percent of the production cost.

But the problem is that Rubik's Cube Pictures doesn't even have the funds to start, so at this time, Jeff has the cheekiness to ask He Mu for help, of course, He Mu won't let him help in vain.

After coming to Los Angeles, He Mu met with Jeff and Robin, and they decided to give 15% and 8% of the shares of Rubik's Cube Pictures in exchange for the $7 million provided by He Mu...... (To be continued......)

PS: [ps: The first update, I didn't expect to use more than 30 chapters in the first month of 10 years after only half of the writing, it's terrible, I have to speed up the pace, otherwise I'm afraid that the word count will surpass "Starting from Zero" ~~]
