Chapter 397: The Father of Chainsaws

On the American side, shortly after He Mu returned to China, Jeff called, and he persuaded his boss Jon. Philheimer is ready to shoot this script from the East, which he has a good look at. Although Jeff's authority can buy the remake rights of the movie without the consent of the company's president, it is only a few hundred thousand dollars, and it is not a big deal to lose it, but if you really want to put it into filming, it must be Jon's nod, after all, the birth of a movie can be as little as a few million dollars, and if it is more, it may require tens of millions of production costs, which is not something that Jeff can decide.

Fortunately, Jon trusts Jeff very much, and agreed to this plan after listening to him, so He Mu will be more confident when he mentions Hollywood's adaptation of his movie.

Jeff told He Mu that it was Ray who participated in the film adaptation with Tao Quduo. Werner, this name He Mu felt very unfamiliar, but when Tao Quduo heard this name, he was more excited than he learned that his "Glass Heart" box office exceeded 60 million, it turned out that this Lao Lei was the screenwriter and actor of the blockbuster horror film series "Chainsaw", and he and the director of the first part of the series, James. Wen is also known as the "father of chainsaws" and is known as a "genius screenwriter" by chainsaw fans.

Thunder. Werner and James. Wen is a golden partner, and the two have collaborated on many classic horror films. In fact, there is another implicit meaning: the director in charge of this new film at that time is likely to be James . Lukewarm.

James. Wen is a Malaysian-born and Australian-raised Chinese director, whose Chinese name is Wen Ziren. is a hot horror film director in Hollywood, and like Lin Yibin, the director of "Fast and Furious", he is an outstanding representative of Chinese directors in Hollywood, and making genre films is their forte.

When Wen Ziren was 27 years old, he was married to Lei. Werner co-created the box office myth of "Saw". With a small cost of $1.2 million, he ped away the global box office of $102 million, and single-handedly created the classic "Saw Horror" series, and the nightmare brought by Mr. "Jigsaw" every year on Halloween will scare the American people fiercely, and Wen Ziren is not a director in the next few films, because he doesn't like to repeat himself, so he hides behind the scenes, just serving as a screenwriter and producer. Although James. Wen's "Dead Silence" and "Death Penalty" directed in the past two years have averaged the box office, but he is still the eternal father of chainsaws and a master of horror in the eyes of cult film fans. Wen Ziren has a good relationship with Lionsgate, and if he can be invited to direct this new film, the box office of the film will be greatly guaranteed.

It seems that everything is progressing in the direction of good, and He Mu is also very pleased. He told Tao Quduo to write scripts in Hollywood. Duoduo to Lei. Werner learns, and if "Glass Heart" has a box office that breaks 100 million one day, he must come back to participate in the celebration banquet prepared for him by the company.

At this time, Lao Tao will ask with sincere fear, "Lao He, do you say that I really entered the 100 million box office club, this is my first film work!" ”

"What's impossible, you see that Jin Yimeng is also a debut with more than 100 million yuan, and she is still a woman. You have to have faith in yourself, James of China. Wen may be you. He Mu's unhesitant praise and encouragement made Tao Quduo full of energy. In fact, He Mu himself is also very excited, if "Glass Heart" really has a box office of over 100 million, then the brand of Tao Quduo will be erected all of a sudden, and when Lao Tao makes other movies, it will be much easier to publicize.

He Mu did not release more news about the American version of "Glass Heart", after all, the director of this movie has not yet been determined, and it is still unknown whether Wen Ziren can direct it, and now "Glass Heart" has enough topics, there is no need to hype it up with some uncertain topics, in case the situation changes after the worst situation, it will not be a slap in the face.

After returning to China, He Mu continued his wedding photo journey with Zhang Zilin, but it was also intermittent, because "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" will be released soon, as one of the actors, he was required to participate in the promotional activities of the film, this is also the first time he has seen the finished film of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", the dense and uninterrupted star face looks really eye-catching, this is an unprecedented grand occasion on the Chinese big screen, even He Mu, as a popular student in China, can't help counting the stars, and when he sees a top celebrity, he will also be amazed. It's not too much of a problem to play occasionally, anyway, what everyone cares about is not the plot, but I have to say that the performances of several main actors Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Guoli, Chen Kun, and Wang Xueqi are still very professional and interesting, and the tension is full and does not insult the soy sauce cameos of so many big-name stars.

In order to cooperate with the publicity of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", it has affected the progress of wedding photo shooting, which is also a task that must be completed, if you want to leave a good impression on Han Sanping, you have to participate, fortunately, although there are many publicity activities like this, but after all, this movie has more than 100 big-name stars, and it is enough for a few big names to support the scene in each event, so He Mu only needs to choose a few of these activities to attend, and He Mu's performance after several activities was seen by Han Sanping in his heart, He also took the initiative to ask He Mu about the cooperation with Lionsgate about "Glass Heart", about how much US dollars was sold, Han Sanping didn't ask, but he cared about the possibility of being able to shoot a film in the end, after all, this is also the pride of mainland films, and China Film Group's year-end summary is also an achievement worth mentioning, in addition, he also promised that if the most beautiful American version of "Glass Heart" is not so bloody and terrifying that people vomit, China Film will definitely find a way to introduce it to China at that time, even if it can't be introduced. You can also batch films.

This is dispensable news for He Mu, after all, it will not be linked to his interests, but it is definitely good news for Lionsgate, now the vigorous development of the film market in Chinese mainland is visible to everyone, Hollywood studios are also very hungry, before the independent studio Lionsgate because its strength is not as good as Warner, Universal These large companies, and the company is also famous for selling B-grade films that sell plasma and stumps, so few films can enter the Chinese mainland market, especially the quota of account-sharing blockbusters does not have their share at all, Overseas market expansion is slow, and now with Han Sanping's promise, it is equivalent to adding a layer of guarantee to the overseas sales of the film, which is what Jeff and Lionsgate behind him are happy to see.

In mid-September, there were two lists that attracted media attention, one was the Hurun Rich List, which was known as the "Pig Killing List", and the other was the shortlist for the 27th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.

He Mu also paid attention to these two lists, his attention is for a reason, the Hurun rich list is because he saw his friend Du Wen on this "pig killing list", Lao Du with superb marketing methods and advanced management system from the United States, in just a few years to build Xiao beverage into a well-known domestic brand, Xiao Group is booming, all kinds of special drinks and mineral water are sold in all corners of the country, and now Lao Du has three billion family properties, ranking more than 300 on the "pig killing list", It can really be described as a young talent, since then Lao Du Rongsheng is He Mu's richest friend, there is no one, there is such a big family around him, He Mu feels that the sun is much brighter, a few days ago Elena also mentioned the doll kiss with Zilin, He Mu touched his chin and seemed to be considering.

Pay attention to the Golden Rooster Award shortlist because of the name of He Mu on this list, Shuimu Forest once put "Night. Shop" was declared to the Golden Rooster Jury, but only Yang Qing was nominated for Best New Director, this kind of small-budget comedy is not the dish of the Golden Rooster Judges, fortunately, Bayi Studio's "One Shot 147" also applied for the Golden Rooster Award, He Mu was shortlisted for Best Actor with the role of billiards prodigy Ding Junhui, last year's Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award He Mu lost to Zhang Hanyu, this time Zhang Hanyu is also a popular candidate, "Assembly Number", which leads the Golden Rooster Award with nine nominations, is still the favorite to win the award, He Mu actually has no confidence.

He Mu has not thought about participating in the Golden Rooster Award since the day the shortlist was announced, not because he was afraid of losing, but because the Golden Rooster Award date conflicted with his wedding date, during this time he hoped to fully devote himself to his wedding with Zhang Zilin, and did not want to be distracted by other affairs, so he did not plan to attend the Golden Rooster Award this time, and He Mu also refused the invitation at the Bazaar Star Charity Night at the end of September, he never admitted that he didn't want to spend money to do good deeds, he was really busy and couldn't get away, except for choosing beautiful scenery and taking beautiful photos with beauties all over the country, He Mu Zhang Zilin also chose the wedding venue abroad, so the preparation work is very heavy, although it was handed over to a professional wedding planning company, He Mu still stubbornly participated in the planning of every detail, and his wedding must be done by himself.

He Mu is now preparing for their wedding wholeheartedly, no longer caring about the world, if He Mu still cares about anything now, I am afraid that it is the box office of "Glass Heart", on Thursday of the 17th, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" officially entered the film market, its momentum is like a tiger, He Mu knows that he can't stop the momentum of more than 100 stars, and he can't stop the general trend of presenting the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. A glimmer of life in Hearts of Glass.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" actually has little production cost, although there are 170 stars involved, but most of them are starring with zero pay, so the actual shooting cost is only 30 million, most of which is used to ensure the quality of the film, although it is a compulsory appearance, but Han Sanping promised that if the box office of the movie exceeds 180 million, he will give dividends to the actors, but it is not clear how much, He Mu does not expect how much red envelopes he can get for a cameo.

The film co-starring 170 stars is definitely unique in the history of Chinese cinema, but the record set by "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is not limited to the large number of actors...... (To be continued......)
