He Mu asked Wu Jing and Lan Chenxing to think about how to operate on this novel if it was really going to be adapted into a movie, this must be drastically changed, otherwise it will be difficult for the audience to accept, the mainstream audience can't accept such a Western fantasy plot in Chinese films, and when the time comes, send him their opinions, if it is feasible, then contact Huabiao, the author of "Dragoon Fighter", after hanging up the phone, He Mu used his mobile phone to search for this novel on the Internet, he seems to remember that he read a novel called "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers" many years ago, The author of that book seems to be called Huabiao.

Returning to the crew of "Wolf Totem" again, what I want to shoot now is a winter scene, that is, a scene where people disperse at the end of the song. The winter in the prairie is very cold, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of filming, but thinking that after filming these scenes, it will be completely completed, everyone is full of enthusiasm, even Dou Xiao, a delicate son, does not shout bitterness or tiredness, the director asks him to shoot how he wants, and the director asks him to shoot a few times, he will shoot a few times, quite obedient, and explain in what he said to He Mu, "Brother, it is a happiness to be able to go home a day earlier!" ”

Dou Xiao was looking forward to his happiness, while He Mu looked at the news on his phone with incredible sadness.

Paul Walker is dead, and the actor of the "Fast and Furious" series has died in a car accident!

Paul is one of He Mu's few friends in Hollywood, and he still remembers the scene where the two wrestled their wrists, although it is not as suitable for cooperation as Joseph, but because of the cooperative relationship between the "Furious" team and the "Big Card" team, He Mu is very familiar with the actors of "Furious", Paul is a powerful actor who wants to be famous, and he is not very old. The future achievements are limitless, but unfortunately it is gone, and he Mutojeff helped him lay a flower at Paul's funeral. It's not in vain that everyone gets acquainted.

Paul died filming "Furious 7" when he died, and he died before the filming was finished, and the remaining mess was enough for Universal Pictures to have a headache, after all, Paul was one of the core characters of the series.

This is how to make a series of movies, it is best to always use the same set of actors, the audience is sometimes very nostalgic, and they generally don't like to change people after getting used to it. Even if it doesn't work, it's not a big deal to change to a suitable person when filming a new work in the series, just like "Notes on Tomb Robbery". If you really want to shoot the entire novel series, it is impossible for the actors of the first part to persist until the end, substitution is a must, and the most feared situation is to change people during the filming process. Therefore, the protection of the actors during the filming process cannot be overstated. He Mu has also been asking the crew of Shuimu Forest like this.

Entering December, the Lunar New Year stalls are not too hot, especially in the case of "Thai Embarrassment" and "Zodiac" last year.

Chen Musheng's new work "Sweeping Drugs", which gathers Hong Kong film Zhongxing forces Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, and Wu Yanzu, has a box office of 81 million in the first week, which is a good result, but compared with the popularity of "Thai Embarrassment" last year, it is really not enough to watch. The subsequent release of "No Man's Land" exceeded 100 million at the box office in the first week, but it did not match the super high popularity of Xu Zheng and Huang Bo since "Thai Embarrassment". Maybe the subject matter can really determine the box office, although "No Man's Land" has been well received since its release, with a Douban score of more than eight points, even if the ending is forced to change by radio and television, it is still considered by many viewers to be the best Chinese movie this year, but because the subject matter is darker, it is far from being a comedy movie as people think, so the box office table is not very good, after all, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the audience wants to be happy.

Comedy films have always been more popular in the Lunar New Year file, but this year, there is "Sweeping Drugs", then "No Man's Land", "Four Famous Arrests", and then Liu Tianwang's 3D police blockbuster "Storm", it seems that the first half of this year's New Year file has become the home of police and bandit-themed singing, which is still a little incompatible with the overall atmosphere of the New Year file, which also caused the market to be cold in the first half of the New Year, and this situation has to change after the large-scale screening of the two comedy movies.

One is produced by Huayi Brothers, Feng Xiaogang once again teamed up with Uncle Ge to concoct the Chinese New Year comedy "Private Custom", and the other is the upstart director of Shuimu Forest, Lan Mingzhu, Dewey. Co-directed by Cook, plus "Journey to the West. The sci-fi epic nonsensical comedy "Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" co-written by Lu Zhengyu, screenwriter of "Demon Suppression", and Zhang Xiaohua, the original author of "The First Chaos in History", in which Jiang Wu plays Qin Shi Huang, nicknamed Win Fat, and Wang Baoqiang plays the role of an alien, nicknamed Xiaoqiang.

Feng Xiaogang and Uncle Ge, and it is also a comedy, you can see from the "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" series how terrible it is, so "Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" is not hard-hitting, "Private Custom" was released on Tuesday, "Qin Shi Huang" chose to be released on Friday, followed by Wanda and Cheng Long's "Police Story 2013" next week, the market hopes that these three movies can save the decline of the Chinese New Year.

"Private Custom" really lived up to expectations, with a box office of 84 million on the first day, breaking the first day box office of 80 million 2D movies of "Little Times", and the results were unexpectedly good. Feng Xiaogang and Ge You have such a magic power, which can make the audience walk into the cinema during the Chinese New Year just for fun.

"Private Custom" is the gospel of the cinema, but it is despised by film critics and audiences, although the box office has been rising, but the reputation is rotten to the home, the Douban score quickly fell below six points, only stronger than his previous "Night Banquet", He Muyuan can't appreciate what kind of bad method "Private Custom" is on the prairie, isn't it even the level of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", but He Mu has heard the theme song, Wang Zhengliang sang "Where Has Time Gone", very good, After listening, he called his parents, who had not been in touch for a long time.

"Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" was released after "Private Custom", and one advantage is that in comparison, "Qin Shi Huang" has received an unexpectedly good reputation.

When the name "Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" was just exposed, the industry was generally not very optimistic, saying that this film has a street appearance, after all, it is not so easy to mix and match comedy and history, but this movie has to be mixed with some sci-fi elements, it is even more difficult, even the former comedy genius, the current king of bad movies Liu Zhenwei, is difficult to successfully combine these elements, let alone two fledgling newcomer directors who have just achieved some small success.

The result was unexpected, "Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" is funny but not vulgar, smooth but not stiff, especially compared with "Private Custom", while Director Feng tried hard to preach and play deeply, and finally apologized to nature, "Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" adheres to the spirit of entertainment to death, and spoofs films such as "Hero", "East Evil and West Poison", "Zi Bu Si", "Shennongjia Big Footprints" and other films to the end, and at the same time, sometimes the hottest cartoon "The First Chaos in History" is promoted for more than ten consecutive episodes at the end of the film, Netizens have long known quite a bit about this movie.

"Qin Shi Huang" This movie is inspired by a story about green-faced dwarves in "The World Speaks New Words" and related records about aliens and Qin Shi Huang in the wild history, although it is a fantasy work, but many things are historically traceable, and the art is also good, it has a very Warring States period feeling, it will not make people feel that this piece is a cottage, the colors are bright, it is festive to look at, and the lines processed by Zhang Xiaohua are hilarious, Especially in the first scene of the film, Ying Zheng played by Jiang Wu actually came out with a Shaanxi sentence after the minute-long performance of the emperor's might, and the audience instantly burst into laughter, and the audience who is familiar with "The First Chaos in History" will feel cordial, and those who have not seen it will feel too innovative, and how does Baoqiang, an alien visitor who helped the Egyptians build a gold tower and ask for payment, how does it look like a migrant worker asking for a salary from the contractor.

Under the control of the super rhythm of the two directors, with the perfect cooperation of the two leading actors and a kind of green leaves, "Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" is almost a small laugh in three minutes, a big laugh in five minutes, and there are no urine points in the whole film, and some shots actually make people see the sophistication of Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters, but there are very few such shots, after all, this is a comedy that focuses on joy, sci-fi is just an accessory, and He Mu doesn't have so much money to let them build an alien spaceship.

Huayi's mood can be described as twists and turns, the two Wang Zong should also know the quality of "Private Custom", originally very worried about the box office of "Private Custom", and even Wang Zhongjun himself was secretly selling Huayi's shares, but the box office exploded after the movie was released, I didn't expect the market's hunger and thirst for comedy to this point, but I haven't been happy for a few days, "Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" is here, the film is scheduled on the day of release by 10 percentage points less than "Private Custom", but the reputation is quite rebellious, and the attendance rate is also high, After that, the film schedule was bullish all the way, and it was also a comedy movie, "Private Custom" made people laugh stiffly, as if they were forced to squeak and itch meat, but "Qin Shi Huang" made it very easy for people to integrate into the movie, and they couldn't stop laughing, so the result was that "Qin Shi Huang" greatly diverted the audience of "Private Custom", and Hua Yi couldn't laugh anymore.

In the first week of release, "Private Custom" won 280 million box office in four and a half days, and "Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" was 220 million in three days, which is comparable, but "Private Custom" has already made a lot of money after the first week, because the product placement of "Private" is too murderous and the cost of film production is very small, and it doesn't cost a few dollars, so almost from the first day of the movie's release, the movie is making a profit, and the production fee and publicity cost of "Qin Shi Huang vs. Aliens" are much higher than those of "Private Custom". There was no way to place advertisements in costume films, so it only began to generate profits in the second week. (To be continued......)
