After returning to the capital, Zhang Mu did not delay for long, and sent an invitation to Tony Jia in Thailand through his previous relationship.

At present, Tony Ja has just finished acting in "Boxer", and even in the Thai film industry, he can only be regarded as a budding star, let alone the international film industry.

Therefore, after receiving Zhang Mu's invitation, he even wondered if the other side was a liar.

Don't look at Zhang Mu as a newcomer in the international film industry, but because of the two films "Pen Fairy" and "Tuner", he has a lot of fame in Thailand.

In particular, "Pen Fairy" has even changed the business scope of the local goddess and wizard.

So even though the executive director was earnest, he was still skeptical. Fortunately, the reputation of the middleman is high enough, so there is no oolong.

So after confirming that it was really Zhang Mu who invited him to participate in "Super Body", Tony Jia immediately didn't say a word, and immediately left for Huaxia to participate in the crew training.

I didn't even care about determining the salary.

The actor is so interested in the movie, of course Zhang Mu is happy to see it.

For him, the biggest difficulty in the filming of "Super Body" this time is the special effects and action part.

Because these are his weaknesses, if he doesn't control it well, it may affect the effect of this movie.

In his previous life, Luc Besson, an old fellow, used a lot of special effects instead of action graphics.

Although this looks quite shocking, it is inevitably less tense and exciting. It makes the movie more than cool, but not exciting enough.

Coupled with the simplicity of the plot, this made the popcorn index of the film in the previous life only 53%, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes was only 58%.

The audience's reputation was poor, and the media barely passed the film reviews, which ultimately made the box office of "Super Body" not reach the most ideal goal.

In fact, "Superbody" and "Inception" are essentially the same, both revolve around a creative sci-fi setting to unfold the story.

The difference is that "Super Body" tells the story of Lucy's transformation from a man to a god.

"Inception" is about a group of dream makers who enter other people's dreams to steal secrets and tamper with memories.

It's just that compared to Luc Besson, Nolan's storytelling technique is much more clever.

He knows what the audience wants to watch, so while taking into account the core of the story, he also incorporates a lot of commercial factors, so that the audience can still watch it with relish while having a headache with the brain-burning setting of "Inception".

This is also the biggest reason why the box office of "Inception" is twice as much as that of "Super Body".

There is such a ready-made example, Zhang Mu naturally wants to learn from the successful.

Therefore, on the premise of maintaining the main story of "Super Body", Zhang Mu added some commercial elements as much as possible to improve its ornamentation and interest.

Of course, for this reason, Zhang Mu naturally needs to make some fine-tuning to the content of the movie, otherwise it will inevitably seem a little abrupt between the two.

……

On August 2nd, after Andy finished the promotion of "Ambush on All Sides" and came to Hengdian to meet the crew, the movie "Super Body" was launched in a low-key manner.

However, this low-key is not what Zhang Mu wants, originally he wanted to take the opportunity to promote another wave, but as soon as the box office of "Ambush on All Sides" came out, the media was full of news about Lao Mouzi.

In other words, today's domestic media can be regarded as playing Lao Mouzi clearly, and they are simply using him as a traffic password.

Day by day, I can't wait to hold a microscope to find his faults.

Yesterday, the new picture just released a notice: "As of August 1, "Ambush on All Sides" has hit a box office of 150 million yuan in 18 days after its release. ”

The next day, a powerful media got the internal data of the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau, saying that since the release of "Ambush on All Sides", the national box office revenue has been 135 million yuan.

In this way, the two naturally contradict each other.

However, Zhang Weiping is also the head iron, and he insisted that the data of the new picture was strictly counted, and he didn't know how the figures of the Local Taxation Bureau came from.

So as soon as this remark came out, it set off another wave of public opinion.

When encountering such a bastard, what else can Zhang Mu do? You can only turn it on first!

……

The next day, after a day of repairs, the crew of "Super Body" directly settled in the No. 1 studio that had just been built in Hengdian Film and Television Industrial Park.

Looking at the nearly 8,000-square-meter space in front of him, Zhang Mu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the old man Xu who came to visit the class and said:

"Third Master, you are this!"

Zhang Mu didn't expect the old man to be so bold, just because of his remarks last year, he directly divided more than 600 acres of land in the east of the film and television city to build the Hengdian Film and Television Industrial Park.

In addition to the 12 studios planned in advance, the industrial park is also preparing to build a large post-production center and a behind-the-scenes studio start-up community.

The magnitude of this stroke made Zhang Mu a little frightened.

However, when he thought that the shortcomings of Hengdian Film and Television City had been filled, Zhang Mu's heart became much more stable.

Regarding Zhang Mu's praise, Old Man Xu didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, this is where it is, compared with when he led the whole village to bomb dozens of mountains to build a film and television city, these can only be regarded as trivial.

Compared with others, the old man was more interested in the 360-degree all-round rotating corridor that Zhang Mu spent more than half a month building with the props team.

I saw him look curious and said:

"This is what you spent more than two million to build?"

When Zhang Mu heard this, he nodded helplessly and said:

"I don't want to be so troublesome, it's just that CG special effects are too expensive, so after thinking about it, it's better to use real scenes directly."

It is said that during this time, in order to build a 360-degree all-round rotating corridor, a prison that can be flipped 360 degrees, and an elevator that is placed horizontally, Zhang Mu can be said to have almost forced the prop master of the crew to death.

In the end, it was only by relying on Zhang Mu's scattered impressions that these big guys could be made.

However, as soon as Zhang Mu said this, the old man became more and more interested.

Seeing this, Zhang Mu didn't say anything more, and let the old man watch from the sidelines.

In the studio, although the actors of the crew were very curious about the identity of Old Man Xu, they didn't dare to ask again when they saw that Zhang Mu didn't mean to introduce him.

Because they had fully communicated before, Zhang Mu and Li Zhongzhi both agreed that the "weightless corridor battle" and the final "Fury of the Suit Thug" should be filmed in the front.

After all, these two major scenes are quite hard and dangerous, and if you don't shoot while the actors are in good condition, then the more you get to the back, the more difficult it will be.

So, on the first day of the start of "Super Body", Jason Statham, Zhang Jin and Tony Jia were happy to mention 37 NGs, which made them really physically and mentally exhausted.

However, Zhang Mu was not very angry, anyway, this kind of major event is impossible to pass at once, and now it will be a rehearsal for them.

So when Li Zhongzhi kept directing the actors' movements, he kept communicating with the special effects artists on the set, wanting to determine the final effect of the green screen.
