my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 181 Returning empty-handed?

Hollywood film and television company intends to buy the copyright of "Infernal Affairs", the news has been confirmed.

And Chenxi Film and Television will not sell it cheaply.

As soon as the news came out, the topic became very popular, and the box office of "Infernal Affairs" picked up instantly, showing the reverse growth again.

It seems that it is not a problem that the final box office exceeds 15 billion.

The question now is how much more than that.

As this news was confirmed, the news that "Infernal Affairs" will be filmed naturally also spread.This caused many "Infernal Affairs" fans to cheer.

As for Mu Chen's new movie being a sequel to "Wolf Warrior", it naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The news that Li Ruoxi will not appear in the sequel of "Wolf Warrior" still disappoints many fans.

However, Li Ruoxi's explanation for why she didn't appear in Mu Chen's film after "Swordsman" also aroused quite a heated discussion.

I am his heroine, but not necessarily the heroine of his work.

This is what many people remember.

The topic of the sequel of "Wolf Warrior" is not small, but it is difficult to compare with the popularity of "Infernal Affairs".

After all, Chenxi Film and Television and Jinlai Film and Television are behind the push.

In particular, the copyright of the adaptation of "Infernal Affairs" was sold at a high price of 500 million US dollars, Chenxi Film and Television will naturally not let go of this opportunity to hype.

As for the sequel to "Wolf Warrior", this film has not yet been launched, and it is not yet time for publicity and hype.

Without hype, the popularity and sustainability are naturally relatively good.

Hype, no need to use much force, just a little push is enough.

After all, the Hollywood film and television company that purchased the adaptation copyright of "Infernal Affairs" is the Fury Brothers, a giant film and television company in Hollywood.

Hollywood film and television giants actually purchased the copyright of Chinese-language film adaptations.

This is absolutely unprecedented.

There are a lot of classic films produced and distributed by Fury Brothers Pictures.

Such a film and television company actually bought the adaptation copyright of "Infernal Affairs".And also the Chu family 500 million US dollars.

500 million U.S. dollars, that's more than 3000 million Chinese coins!

Does this still require the power of Chenxi Film and Television?Just pushing along with the trend is enough.

What is the magic of "Infernal Affairs"?
Is this movie really that good?
Many fans who hadn't seen the film, or had even seen it, then went to theaters.

With such a hot topic, this year's Spring Festival film, "Infernal Affairs" suddenly has a feeling of surpassing the dust in terms of staying power.

"Infernal Affairs" is still in theaters, but this year's Golden Dragon Awards ceremony will be held immediately.

Mu Chen won four nominations for "Wolf Warrior". Although he himself is not optimistic about it, he can't refuse to attend because he has a low chance of winning, right?
At the Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony, brothers Mu Chen and Mu Ze appeared on the red carpet, attracting the attention of all the media around them and screaming from the surrounding fans.

Mu Chen's popularity is high, and Mu Ze is no exception.

Mu Ze came here on leave this time.Both he and Mu Chen were invited to be the award presenters.

This time, Mu Chen did not walk the red carpet with Li Ruoxi either.

On the red carpet, the partner who walks the red carpet is usually determined by the script.

Li Ruoxi is with the crew of "White Fox".

And she also won the Best Actress nomination for the film "White Fox".

Of course, Mu Chen had watched the movie "White Fox", and Li Ruoxi's performance in it was also excellent.

However, in terms of voice, it is lower than other nominated actors.

This is because Li Ruoxi is more popular than them.

Therefore, Mu Chen felt that Li Ruoxi was going to win the award, but he was upset.

And Mu Chen was also nominated for the Best Film Song Award for the theme song of this film.

Mu Chen really didn't care much about this award.

He didn't pay much attention to the songs at all, so he naturally paid more attention to the awards that he had spent so much time on.

For example, the best director award.

It is undoubtedly a sense of accomplishment to win awards that you put your mind into.

"Director Mu got four nominations, no, five nominations. How many awards do you think you can get today?" The offstage host changed, but the questions he seemed to like to ask didn't change.

"Five?" Mu Ze looked at the two with some doubts.

He is well aware that "Wolf Warrior" has only received four nominations.The four nominations were all Mu Chen's.

"The theme song of Ruoxi's movie was also nominated." Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Oh." The corner of Mu Ze's mouth twitched.

Mu Chen seems to be a frequent visitor to the Golden Phoenix Award for Best Film Song and the Golden Dragon Award for Best Movie Song!

"I think it's useless!" Seeing the host's opinion, Mu Chen immediately smiled.

"Director Mu, can you change the answer?" The host was taken aback for a moment, then said dumbfounded.

It's boring to answer like this every time!
"Then you have to change the question!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

If you change the question, the answer will naturally change.

"If I asked you how many prizes you want to win, wouldn't you answer the more the better?" The host said with a smile.

"Wise!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Then I wish Director Mu will get what he wants." The host laughed.

Mu Chen also smiled, and then signed with Mu Ze and walked into the venue.

The crew of "Wolf Warrior" walked the red carpet, and there were not many people in the venue.

"Director Mu!" Zhang Gang smiled and waved to Mu Chen.

"Director Zhang!"

Mu Chen and Mu Ze walked over and greeted with a smile.

Mu Ze has filmed Zhang Gang's film, although he is a supporting role, but the role is quite heavy, and the role is quite brilliant.

It's just that the movie hasn't been released yet.

Expected to go in summer.

Zhang Gang's works are basically not Spring Festival, that is, summer.

"I remember Mu Ze, weren't you filming Lao Feng's movie?" Zhang Gang looked at Mu Ze and said with a smile.

The old Feng he mentioned was named Feng Zhaohui, and he was a first-line director in China.

That is, the director of the movie that Mu Ze is shooting now.

"I asked for leave." Mu Ze said, "I didn't come last year, so I'll see you this year."

Zhang Gang nodded and smiled.

It may be possible to experience it, but it is more likely to give face to the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee.

Not once, totally understandable.

But not coming after contacting twice, even if the circumstances are justifiable, it will inevitably make people feel bad.

In the circle, the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee still has to give face.

After all, the Golden Dragon Awards are judged by people.

People have feelings and emotions.

When two people are equally competitive, one will give you face and the other will not.

Who would you choose?
"When Director Mu is free, how about we cooperate?" Zhang Gang looked at Mu Chen and said with a smile.

"How to cooperate?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

Zhang Gang is the director with the most box office appeal in China, and has a certain box office appeal internationally.Mu Chen would naturally not mind if he could cooperate with him.

"You edit and I direct, and you can also act as the producer." Zhang Gang looked at Mu Chen and said, "The two companies will produce together."

"What type?" Mu Chen asked.

When Zhang Gang proposed to cooperate, it was obviously due to Mu Chen's screenwriting ability.

Mu Chen's screenwriting ability has been proved by countless works.

Whether it's a TV series or a movie, Mu Chen's screenwriting ability is amazing enough.

A director like Zhang Gang who stands at the top of the entertainment industry naturally understands the importance of scripts.

Of course, there are many excellent screenwriters in the circle.What made Zhang Gang think this way was that the adaptation copyright of "Infernal Affairs" was bought by Hollywood.

what type?
Zhang Gang was taken aback when he heard it, and then said, "You decide!"

What genre is Mu Chen good at?
"Fist of Fury" kung fu drama, "Swordsman" martial arts drama, "Bright Sword" anti-Japanese drama "Infernal Affairs" police drama.

Screenwriter Mu Chen doesn't seem to be bound by the genre of the film.

And what about Zhang Gang?

Apparently the same is true.He started out making art films, and then switched to commercial films, all of which were extremely successful.

History, war, action, fantasy
Zhang Gang has a lot of works, it seems that he has tried every genre, and his reputation is not bad.

"Then let's talk about it when the script comes out," Mu Chen said.

"Okay!" Zhang Gang nodded and smiled.

He just said that, and didn't expect Mu Chen to agree.After all, Mu Chen's directing ability is amazing.

He didn't expect Mu Chen to agree so readily.

He was still looking forward to Mu Chen's script.

As for the matter of cooperation, they had intentions, so they stopped talking nonsense, and the two started chatting immediately, talking more about the movie.

Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books.

These words may be exaggerated, but Zhang Gang did answer some doubts that had troubled Mu Chen for a long time.

"Your "Infernal Affairs" will definitely shine next year." Zhang Gang said with a smile.

He took the time to watch that movie and was very impressed.

"Monster Catcher" lost to "Infernal Affairs", he didn't feel wronged.

Although "Monster Catcher" is somewhat aimed at foreign markets, the rights to the adaptation of "Infernal Affairs" directly sold for tens of millions.

If "Monster Catcher" does not hit the box office abroad, it will lose.

Will the foreign box office be amazing?

Zhang Gang obviously lacked confidence.

To be truly successful, it should be done both internally and externally.

"This year is probably just a formality." Mu Chen said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily the case." Zhang Gang said with a smile.

However, he actually agreed with Mu Chen's words.

He is also not optimistic about "Wolf Warrior".

It's not that "Wolf Warrior" is bad, if it can be nominated, it is a good movie.

It's just that this kind of film itself is not very popular with the Golden Dragon Awards, and the competitors are strong.

More and more people entered the meeting place, and more and more people gathered beside Mu Chen and Zhang Gang. Although most of the time it was just Mu Chen and Zhang Gang who talked, few people could get in the way, but there were still many people around. Few people.

Zhang Gang is a great director who has been famous for many years, and Mu Chen has already proved his ability, not to mention that he is still so young and has amazing potential.

The entertainment industry is the place where fame and fortune are most pursued.

Whether it's Zhang Gang or Mu Chen, they are naturally supported by others.

The red carpet session is over, and the award presentation is about to begin, and everyone takes their seats.

However, Mu Chen and Mu Ze didn't sit for long before they got up and went backstage.

The awards presented by the two of them are at the top.

Best soundtrack, an award that is often awarded in the first few.

Mu Chen and Mu Ze often appear together in the same frame. Although they are somewhat similar in appearance, they can still be recognized at a glance.

"Best soundtrack!" Mu Ze looked at Mu Chen with a smile and said, "Why didn't you nominate this year?"

For the best soundtrack, Mu Chen was nominated quite a lot.

The soundtrack of "Wolf Warrior" is actually very good.

"The four filmmakers nominated are too good!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Then let's see, this year's nominees for the best soundtrack award" Mu Ze said with a smile.

On the big screen, the part of the wonderful soundtrack of the nominated film appeared immediately.

Then the scene of the four nominees appeared.

The four are all old filmmakers, but to many movie fans, they are very unfamiliar.

Movie fans are mostly familiar with the people behind the scenes.

Not to mention the soundtrack, there are probably only a few directors who can overwhelm the actors.

"Let me see who won the best soundtrack this year?" Mu Chen opened the envelope, looked at it, then handed it to Mu Ze, and said, "You should announce it! I feel like I'm talking too much." tears!"

"You have to be convinced to lose." Mu Ze smiled and said, "The winner of the best soundtrack is: "Bing Hai", Gu Hai! Congratulations!"

"Clap clap clap!"

The applause sounded, and a 50-[-]-year-old man stepped onto the podium and took the trophy from Mu Chen.

His face was calm and his emotions were not agitated.

Perhaps, this is not the first time he has won an award, and he has experienced many battles.

Perhaps, he has passed the age of losing control of his emotions for a trophy, and he has taken a lot of bearishness.

Gu Hai's acceptance speech was very brief, only two words: Thank you!

Return from the stage and sit down in the audience. After one award, the Best Screenplay Award will be presented.

This is also the award that Mu Chen nominated for.

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is: "Mother" Qian Haixin, congratulations!"

On the big screen, Mu Chen still kept smiling.

Not being able to win the prize, although a little disappointed, was not beyond his expectations.

What's more, such an award won't let his disappointment hang on his face.

Mu Chen's expression remained the same, but the other two nominees were not so calm.Although they still smiled and applauded, it was obvious at a glance that their smiles were forced.

When Qian Haixin came to the stage, Mu Chen was a little surprised, a pretty young girl.

At this time, Mu Chen remembered some reports about this movie.

"Mother" is a literary film adapted from the novel of the same name by Qian Haixin. It is said to be a tear gas bomb and a dark horse at the box office.

Of course, as a low-cost literary film, no matter how dark it is, it can't be much higher.

Qian Haixin himself is a talented young writer.

The reputation of this film is still good.

Not only nominated for best screenplay, but also nominated for best song, best actress, best director, and best film.

The nominations are impressive.

Among them, the voice of the best actress is very high.

Best Screenplay is followed by Best Film Song.

"The winner of the Best Movie Song Award is: "White Fox" Mu Chen! Congratulations to Director Mu!"

"I am a fox who has practiced for thousands of years."

As the song sounded, many viewers fell into memories.

Mu Chen got up and walked towards the podium.

"Thank you!"

Mu Chen looked at the audience and said, "Thank you to the jury for the affirmation of this song. Thank you to Ning Yang, the director of "White Fox", and Li Ruoxi, the singer of this song!"

When Mu Chen thanked Li Ruoxi, everyone in the audience smiled knowingly.

"After winning this award, I finally don't have to worry about returning empty-handed from this year's trip to the Golden Dragon Awards. Thank you!"

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he got off the podium.

The facts were as Mu Chen expected.

Then the best action design was taken by an action movie.

"Wolf Warrior" missed the chance, which was a bit of a surprise to many people. "Wolf Warrior" won this award, and the voice is still very high.

Li Ruoxi also missed out on Best Actress, which was won by the actor of the deaf-mute mother in the film "Mother".

Although Mu Chen only watched a few clips on the big screen, he could see that the actor deserved this award.

Li Ruoxi didn't deserve to lose.

For the best director, Mu Chen played soy sauce again.

Best picture, "Wolf Warrior" also failed to win.

"Wolf Warrior" received four nominations and did not win a single award.If it weren't for the fact that "White Fox" won the best movie song, this time it would really come home empty-handed.

Although it was expected, Mu Chen's smile at the end was a little more far-fetched.
