Chapter 375: Perfect Release
He Mu and Xu Jinglei have more and more tacit understanding, although the two have played the most affectionate part in Thailand before, but after returning to China, they have to start from scratch, from the first meeting, Wang Wei was frightened by the elevator accident and hugged Lala's thigh, to Lala was embarrassed by his colleagues, Wang Wei stepped forward to save the United States, the relationship between the two gradually reached its peak in Thailand, and it was logical to live together after coming back, they were colleagues in the company, and they were a pair of happy lovers when they left the company.
The pair's natural performances have accelerated the filming process, which is expected to be completed within this month. Although the performance is full of tacit understanding, there are obvious differences between He Mu and Xu Jinglei in the treatment of part of the film, Director Xu has begun to dilute the plot in the workplace at the time of filming, and the filming is not very attentive, but the emotional aspect is carefully crafted, striving to perfectly present the twists and turns of Wang Wei and Durala's love, which may not necessarily become what it will look like if it is edited out after the most deplorable.
Theoretically, in the generation process of a commercial film, the director should obey the producer's orders, but Xu Jinglei, the director, is also one of the producers, although the investment share is small, but she is also a producer, director, and heroine, and seems to have more right to speak, she is bullying He Mu is not a director, she has to listen to her everything, she said that the proportion of love scenes determines whether more female audiences can be pulled into the cinema, so she does not agree with He Mu's proposal.
At this time, He Mu can't lose his temper, after all, he is very familiar with Lao Xu, but he is not familiar enough to say anything, and she is still a woman, and when she denies He Mu's proposal, she is also full of smiles, which makes He Mu very temperless.
"Director Xu. Leave of absence, three days. ”
"Xiao Mu, don't be emotional. We can discuss, artistic creation is meant to collide, but I still stick to my own ideas. ”
Is there any need to discuss what you said, He Mu rolled Lao Xu's eyes, "I'm not in a mood, "Very Perfect" will be released the day after tomorrow, and I, as the leading actor, have to attend some activities." ”
"I see. That's right, but you'll have to work overtime tonight, so we'll catch up. ”
"It's good. No problem. ”
After getting rid of Lao Xu's side, He Mu immediately went to all parts of the country to meet Zhang Ziyi, and it was time for "Very Perfect" to really accept the test of the market, and theaters across the country that bought copies of "Very Perfect" posted large posters in conspicuous places in movie theaters. The propaganda team with He Muzhang Ziyi as the mainstay, supplemented by Zhu Bingbing and Su Zhixie, also began to take action. During this period of time, the domestic film market not only had strong Chinese-language films such as "Eavesdropping" and "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Zero Dog", but also the newly introduced high-reputation animation "Flying House Travel" and Hollywood special effects blockbuster "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", which entered the market one step ahead of "Very Perfect" and already had an advantage, and whether it could dismantle this advantage was an important topic for "Very Perfect".
In the past few days of publicity, He Mu has gone to many movie theaters, and on the whole, it is the Hollywood blockbuster "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" that just released last week that dominates in movie theaters. The film is adapted from the popular American comics, which combines action and sci-fi. In addition, Wang Jing's comedy "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Zero Dog" is not far behind, and even in some theaters in the south, the film schedule of this movie is even more fierce than "Special Forces".
Foreign language films and Chinese films are led by these two films respectively, followed by "Flying House" and "Eavesdropping", both of which are movies with a good reputation, especially "Flying House" not only has a good reputation, but has achieved a box office result of up to 280 million US dollars in North America, much higher than the box office of "Special Forces" in the same period, and its good reputation has even affected domestic fans, so that such a Hollywood animated film that does not take comedy as its main selling point has achieved the highest attendance rate in the same period, the attendance far exceeds the films such as "Special Forces" and "Zero Zero Dog" in the same period.
However, good word-of-mouth does not mean that the box office is good, although "Flying House" and "Eavesdropping" have a good reputation, they are not as popular as "Special Forces" and "Zero Zero Dog", and the film schedule is more unsatisfactory, mainly because the audience of these two movies is not popular enough, and watching these two movies has to bring brains, think, and are too tired, which is doomed to them not being able to attract audiences who use movies as a means of entertainment.
Although the domestic film market is developing rapidly, the audience is not mature, and many of the billions of contributors to the national box office have just developed the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies, even the talented Jiang Wen has made a mistake in literary films.
He Mu believes that he will not be stumped, Shuimu Forest was established at the beginning of the purpose of making movies that can be enjoyed by more people, public reputation is the foundation of Shuimu Forest, and the company has invested in several films are also based on the box office rather than awards as the ultimate goal, at least at this stage he does not have the capital to make a film purely for awards or art.
The screening scope of "Very Perfect" is the mainland release, although the "world premiere" is also done with the strength of the distributors China Film and Shuimu Forest, that is, it is called a world premiere when it is released in a few Chinatown cinemas in the United States, but it just sounds good, and the distributor feels that there is no need for this, so it insists on releasing it in the mainland first, and then gradually promoting it overseas, of course, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with Mizuki, it is CJ and their business, He Mu and his company team only need to be responsible for doing a good job in the mainland distribution.
Xue Xiangchen once said to He Mu that before the release of "Very Perfect", "Special Forces" could account for nearly 30% of the film schedule, and he was confident that the film schedule of "Very Perfect" would be the same as that of "Special Forces", and the two films could basically share half of the country's film schedule.
This confidence not only comes from the strong appeal of actors such as Yu Zhang Ziyi, He Muzhu, Bingbing and other actors, but also because of the joint distribution of China Film Group, and most of the distribution profits are shared with them, they are always embarrassed to watch this movie being suppressed by imported films, this is also the first time that a movie starring He Mu has such a high film schedule, if the box office is not as good as the original film schedule of more than ten percent of the "Night. shop", that would be a big shame.
The film was originally scheduled to be released on a large scale at 0:00 on the 14th, and entered the theater on Friday like the United States, this is the director's will, she has been deeply affected by Hollywood in the United States for a long time, and there is not so much attention in the mainland, which day of the week can be released, China Film thinks that it will be better in advance, the promotion of this film is done well, and the audience is very much looking forward to it, since the film poster and trailer have been put on a large scale in the cinema, many viewers who go to the cinema are asking when they can see it, they can't wait, Then give them some surprises half a day in advance, and the movie is finally scheduled to be released nationwide on Thursday afternoon the 13th.
For the audience, Zhang Ziyi's two big-name stars and Zhang Ziyi and He Mu are the two main highlights of the film, although "Very Perfect" does not have the big scenes and bloody action of "Special Forces", but the good mass base is what "Special Forces" does not have, this territory in China, except for senior Hollywood movie fans, who will know Qian Ning. Tatum, who would know Ray. Parker, I'm afraid South Korea's Lee Byung-hun is more famous, and the famous comic "Special Forces" is not well-known in the mainland.
And He Mu Zhang Ziyi is a household name here, especially He Mu is quite popular in the mainland during this time, people see him far more cordial than Zhang Ziyi, who has not appeared in the mainland for a long time, and Zhang Ziyi, who has never filmed a TV series, is not realistic to compare with He Mu. The overlap rate between TV audiences and movie audiences is not high, and He Mu's main achievements are also in TV, and he is likely to pull his TV audience into the cinema with his super popularity.
He Mu publicized all the way from south to north, and finally landed in the capital, at this time it was the 13th, and the film had landed in major theaters across the country one after another, whether it was a mule or a horse depends on today's performance, He Mu's leave has not expired, so he hurried home to enjoy the warmth of the family.
Now that Grandpa has been discharged from the hospital and lived in his villa, his father and mother have also moved in, and Dad He is busy with his career, so he doesn't live here much, and the family is mainly managed by Mom He.
Zilin originally wanted to go back to her parents to live with her during this time, after all, she and He Mu were not officially married, and she always felt a little embarrassed to live with him under the nose of the man's parents.
He Mu let her live at home honestly, and his parents didn't know what they were doing, and when they moved back, they would cover their ears and steal the bell to deceive themselves, and he hoped that he would be able to see her as soon as he got home, and see his parents and grandfather, so Zilin lived, for the sake of He Dad, He Ma, He Grandpa, she always went out late and returned early, and tried to compress her working hours, especially to reduce her working hours at night, so that she had more time to accompany a few elders, and she had to try her best to adapt to the way of getting along with this kind of big family from the world of the two.
Just today, He Mu finally came back, with his parents and grandfather at home, as well as her Zhang Zilin, who followed He Mu's wishes. When Zilin heard the sound of the car turning off, she knew that He Mu was back, she went to the door to pick up people, He Mu happened to appear at the door, and then picked her up and turned around a few times.
I thought He Mu would say some sweet words, but I didn't expect his first words to be, "Linlin, you are fat~"
