Chapter 290: Sweet Burden
Even if he didn't have Murong Fu's memory, Mu Rong liked the city of Gusu very much.
It has a history of nearly 2,500 years, and is one of the important birthplaces of Wu culture, with the reputation of paradise on earth.
The pinnacle of classical Chinese architecture is the classical gardens here.
Today, most of Gusu's gardens have been transformed into parks.
If he wants to live in it, Mu Rong can only build it himself.
It was difficult to get Gusu's land, but Mu Rong still took it.
Needless to say, the reason is nothing more than hello, hello, hello, everyone.
According to preliminary planning, the construction cost of building this manor alone will be twenty or thirty million.
And that's not even counting the interior decoration, the exterior landscape.
There is no upper limit to the cost of this kind of mansion, and any amount of money can be smashed into it.
However, this was built by Mu Rong as a mansion, naturally regardless of the cost.
Moreover, the land that Mu Rong got can not only build his own manor, but also build a circle of villas around.
As long as these villas are built, they will not be able to sell, and they will only become more and more valuable.
In order to build the manor mansion, Mu Rong invited several design institutes to design the manor for himself, and came up with a total of more than a dozen sets of plans for him to choose from.
In the end, Mu Rong still chose the plan provided by the local design institute in Gusu.
This scheme is the most suitable for his aesthetics, low-key and luxurious.
But for such a large-scale project, it will take at least two or three years from breaking ground to completion.
Mu Rong set a deadline to complete the project just before the Olympics.
It's also a wave of good luck.
Since Mu Rong left Beiping, the reporters have gone crazy.
After the box office was released on the first day, reporters searched for Mu Rong all over the world, but they couldn't find it.
On the contrary, Li Lianjie, who has been active in front of the camera, was blocked by reporters.
As a result, reporters turned their firepower to Li Lianjie and asked him what he thought of the box office loss of "Huo Yuanjia" to "Myth".
Li Lianjie has debuted for more than 20 years, and he has experienced a lot of winds and waves, and he still has a lot of experience.
In front of reporters, he congratulated Mu Rong and said that he did not make movies to make money, but to spread Chinese culture and promote righteousness.
At the same time, he also wished Mu Rong a victory in the battle with Tyson in June, and he will also go to the scene to cheer for Mu Rong.
Such a response can be said to have a face, and it is very good to save his face.
But in the eyes of outsiders, his status in the film industry has been officially surpassed by Mu Rong.
Regardless of the comprehensiveness of kung fu, actual combat ability, acting skills, works, box office appeal, and word of mouth, Mu Rong has gradually caught up with him.
Even if the status in the audience's minds, Mu Rong is still a little insufficient, but it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Li Lianjie.
And the question of time is precisely the best solution.
Because Mu Rong is younger than him!
Young heroes are always the most marketable in film and television dramas.
And Mu Rong seems to have become the most market-appealing martial artist of the younger generation, and there are almost no opponents.
According to the box office trend of "Myth", the box office of this movie in overseas markets is likely to exceed 100 million! And it's dollars!
….
This is already comparable to Fang Long's box office appeal!
For the good results of this film in the North Rice market, many domestic media did not expect it.
This is a purely Chinese-language movie, and it is a costume movie, can the audience in the North Rice region accept it?
You must know that Fang Long got a box office of 140 million US dollars that year, and "Rush Hour", which created history, is also a modern fashion film based on the culture of the United States.
But this "Myth" just met the appetite of the audience in the North Mi region and got very bright results.
So, a lot of the media
They were all curious about this, and began to investigate the reasons for the success of "Myth" in overseas markets.
In the end, the media came to the conclusion that the success of this movie was a miracle created by bringing together the right people at the right time.
One of the biggest reasons is naturally the appointment between Mu Rong and Tyson.
It was a tournament that captured the attention of many people all over the world.
The media in the North Rice region have reported Mu Rong's information one after another, and even the "Myth" has also received a wave of publicity, which is the time of day.
In addition, there is a very important element in this movie, that is, the Qinling Terracotta Warriors, which are ranked as one of the eight wonders of the world.
This is the most familiar cultural symbol of foreigners to China, and many people have learned it when they are in school, which is a geographical advantage.
Since Bruce Lee, whether it is Fang Long or Li Lianjie, all Chinese actors who break into Hollywood are basically action superstars.
These seniors have trained the audience of Beimi, and there is no need to tell them what kung fu is, and they are already familiar with kung fu movies.
Therefore, Mu Rong can be regarded as standing on the shoulders of giants, this is human.
With the right technology and the right time and place, it is not surprising that this "Myth" can be a success.
And this movie also has a popular factor, that is, Liu Yifei who plays the princess.
Her appearance in the movie amazed countless audiences, and many North Mi viewers wrote to the newspaper after watching the movie, asking who the beautiful princess in the movie was.
With the help of the popularity of this movie, Liu Yifei, who was originally not well-known in the overseas market, also became popular and gained some international popularity.
Capital's sense of smell is the keenest, and on the second day after the box office was released on the first day, a film company in Haolaiwu approached Mu Rong and wanted to invite him to shoot a movie.
But Mu Rong took a look, there are not too many good roles, most of them are supporting roles.
The main audience group of Haolaiwu is still the North Mi audience.
And they also bear the heavy responsibility of exporting culture, so naturally they will not find a Chinese to play the leading role.
However, Mu Rong's attitude was also very simple, and he directly pushed it all away.
Anyway, he is not short of money, and he can shoot it himself, so why should he play a supporting role for others?
In the past two years, he has been busy filming and has not had much rest.
This year is the last half year before Liu Yifei's graduation, and Mu Rong plans to temporarily stop his work and accompany Liu Yifei.
But as his popularity grew, his private life seemed to have left him.
Everywhere he went, people recognized him, exclaimed excitedly, screamed, called his name, asked him for autographs, and took pictures.
It's fine if it's just once or twice, but every time you go out, you're watched, which is a little uncomfortable.
However, most of the people are because they like Mu Rong, and he can't say anything, so he can only regard it as a sweet burden.
At the end of May, in the comprehensive building of the Beiping Film Academy, the students of the acting department of the class of 2002 took a big drama "Thunderstorm" as their graduation drama, drawing an end to their four-year college career.
Mu Rong, as a "family member", also came to the scene to cheer for Liu Yifei.
Round head and round belly
