Chapter 242: Youth Part II
"Woods? Where are the trees? When the people next to him heard this, they looked around again and again......
Lin Mu naturally didn't know that the person just now was his fan, and he recognized him in hindsight, and he was regretting it at this time......
"Qianmo? seems to be a relatively famous female writer, I heard that she is still one of the most popular post-75 female writers, and a new leader of youth. Lin Mu's mind flashed her information.
Lin Mu instantly thought of another thing, stroked his palms and smiled: "My youth two-part is finally a head!" ”
Lin Mu clearly remembers that in his previous life, a "To Our Dying Youth", which only cost 60 million yuan to produce and promote, directly earned 46.5 million yuan on the premiere day, and on the third day of release, the film set a single-day box office record for Chinese films with a score of 52 million yuan.
In the end, "To Our Dying Youth" ended perfectly with an astonishing box office of 726 million yuan.
It was a box office miracle in the Chinese film market in 2013!!
When Lin Mu was filming "The Girl I Chased in Those Years", he began to think about whether to shoot it and make it a youth duology, making it one of the signatures of Lin Mu Studio.
And after "Those Years" achieved a high box office of more than 100 million last year, Lin Mu realized that there was a huge gap in youth movies in the Chinese film market, and he urgently needed youth movies to supplement it.
But then I thought that the movie "To Youth" also has a novel of the same name, and it would always be a pity if I only made movies and didn't write novels.
Considering that writing a teenage novel with a female protagonist as a male prostitute would make people feel perverted, I put it aside for the time being. Then something else delayed, and it dragged on until now.
Now I hear this famous female writer Qianmo. Lin Mu remembered it instantly.
"Now that you have money and resources, you must shoot it. Youth two-part, it's too wasteful for me not to shoot! ”
Lin Mu took out his mobile phone and called Sister Hua directly: "Help me collect information about a female author named Qianmo, and then you can help me make an appointment to meet her." Said that something was looking for her. ”
After talking on the phone, Lin Mu continued to concentrate on accompanying Fan Ye to go shopping and eat.
……
On March 30th, Lin Mu was still dressed in sports and leisure, and came to a private restaurant, and today he made an appointment with the female author whose pen name is Qianmo and whose real name is Qiu Chunling.
Yesterday, Lin Mu received the information from Sister Hua by email, and he knew this female author more deeply - she was indeed suitable for writing the book "To We Will Eventually Die of Youth".
When the forest tree goes. Qian Mo was already sitting there waiting.
"Hello, Qiu Beauty!" Lin Mu took the initiative to beckon.
"Are you ......?" Qian Mo was obviously a little confused, and after a few careful glances, he finally recognized the forest tree. Surprised: "Oh my God. Is it a forest tree? This outfit has changed completely! Qian Mo looked very excited, probably a fan of Lin Mu.
"There's no way, there have been too many paparazzi recently, so I can only hide like this."
After the two were humble and polite. Let's get down to business.
"That's why I invited you over. I want to ask you to write a book, I don't know if you have read "Those Years"? ”
"I've read both the novel and the movie, although the writing of the novel is average. But the feelings are very sincere. And I only know that movies are good, but professionally I don't understand them. Are you looking for me? "Qianmo is very confused, it shouldn't be to write a sequel to those years, right?
Lin Mu hurriedly explained: "That's the case, I have a story in my heart. It's a story about youth, but I've always felt that my writing is not good and I can't write it, and the protagonist is a woman. So I didn't move until I saw you at the book signing that day. It occurred to me that I could actually let you write this story. ”
Seeing that she was listening carefully, Lin Mu began to introduce "To Youth".
8-year-old Zheng Wei describes himself as a "jade-faced little flying dragon". Full of youthful vitality, with a strong love for Lin Jing, the brother next door, she was finally admitted to the neighboring school of Lin Jing's school, and when she entered the university campus with great expectations, she was hit by a blow - Lin Jing studied abroad......"
Lin Mu slowly told the general content of this story......
Lin Mu found that it was very comfortable to get along with Qianmo, a female writer, she didn't say much, but her tone and demeanor would show that she was listening to you carefully, and then she nodded or something, which made people unconsciously feel a sense of satisfaction of being respected.
After the story was finished, Qian Mo said: "This story is good, it can be written into a novel!" ”
"That's what I thought, and my plan was to find someone to write the book, and then our company would be responsible for making it into a movie. I want to form a youth duo with "The Girl I Chased in Those Years" that belongs to our company! I want all people to think of my company and these two movies when they think of youth! "Lin Mu is full of pride.
"As for the copyright issue, the copyright of the novel belongs to you, the copyright of the movie belongs to me, and then it is tied to each other for publicity, how about it?"
"Good!!"
……
The next day, Tianwang Studio announced plans to shoot a second youth movie.
At the same time, famous female writers were invited to hold a press conference together.
Because of the popular release of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" in the past, youth-themed movies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but now almost two years have passed, and there are indeed very few youth films that can move people's hearts.
This cruel fact proves one thing - youth dramas are not so easy to film.
On the one hand, it is a big market, and on the other hand, it is difficult to shoot, which makes countless screenwriters and directors depressed.
Now Lin Mu, the owner of "Those Years", has once again announced that his company will make a second youth movie, and has threatened to make it a youth duology with "Those Years......
Immediately, the entire entertainment industry was surprised.
And the fans of "Those Years" are boiling!!
But there is a problem that the forest does not take into account.
And this question may become the most important issue after Lin Mu's movie, and it may or may not reduce his popularity.
Because, no matter what kind of youth type of movie it is, after those years, the score on film reviews is not so high.
In those years, the score was above 8 points, and the average score on several rating websites was about 6~7.1.
Therefore, it is destined to be criticized, and after such a movie has exploded in the past two years of youth films, the odds of winning awards will be reduced a lot.
Lin Mu's old routine no longer works, but the box office is definitely not a problem, the main thing is the audience's reputation. (To be continued.) )
