my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 195
"Ip Man" became popular, but Mu Chen was ridiculed by netizens as a strict wife, and Li Ruoxi happily forwarded the post.

Zhao Jin, Wang Hao and others who had a good relationship with Mu Chen directly posted teasing on Weibo.

Mu Chen did not direct "Ip Man", let alone play Ip Man.

But in the eyes of netizens, he is the screenwriter of this movie, so the role of Ip Man was created by him.

How to shape?
Art comes from life!Then some of Ye Wen's characteristics were shaped by Mu Chen based on himself.

This statement has been recognized by countless people.

Mu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't deny it, nor did he bother to deny it.

If the wife is strict, the wife is strict!

He knew that the ridicule of those netizens was not malicious.

"Ip Man" became popular, both word of mouth and box office exceeded Yuan Hong and others' expectations, and even Mu Chen was surprised.

Mu Chen didn't know how much the box office of the original version was.Different worlds, different release times, and different market potentials, naturally have no reference value.

However, the box office is definitely much higher than the original.

From the second day onwards, this film has been the single-day box office champion, and now it has the highest ranking.

If there is no accident, the box office of this film can exceed [-] million, breaking the box office record of kung fu movies set by "Jing Wu Heroes".If the impact of new films released later is not big, the box office will only be higher.

How much did Ip Man invest?
Just tens of millions.The box office is [-] million, that is to make money.Now that the box office has exceeded [-] million, the profit brought to Chenxi Film and Television has exceeded [-] million.

And this is only domestic box office revenue, foreign box office revenue, and copyright revenue.

The foreign box office may be limited in Europe, America and other places, but in the southeast and other places, it is still very optimistic.

This film can bring at least [-] million revenue to Chenxi Film and Television.

In this way, the world of martial arts movies that Mu Chen mentioned before is undoubtedly possible.

Of course, to what extent it can be filmed in the end depends on the effect of the follow-up films.

However, a sequel to "Ip Man" is imperative.

Of course, the sequel shooting will certainly not be too urgent.Yuan Hong and Chen Fuhai are currently thinking about what to do next.

Yuan Hong is full of confidence at this time, and he is ambitious for Mu Chen's idea of ​​the world of martial arts movies.

"Ip Man" became popular, and netizens ridiculed Mu Chen and even topped the topic list, which shows that the role of Ip Man is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Yuan Chengran's popularity soared with this film, becoming another popular kung fu star after Mu Ze.

Colleagues are enemies.

Many people don't understand why Mu Chen favors Yuan Cheng, aren't they afraid of threatening Mu Ze?
Both are kung fu actors, and in many people's eyes, Yuan Cheng's explosion will inevitably affect Mu Ze.

As Cheng Jie and Li Long grew older, Mu Ze's status in the film and television industry gradually became prominent.

But now, Yuan Cheng's popularity has soared, and many films are no longer irreplaceable for Mu Ze.

Could it be that the two brothers Mu Chen and Mu Ze fell out?

They fell out?

This is obviously impossible.

Starring Mu Ze and directed by Mu Chen, "Wolf Warrior 2" has just finished filming.

Did Yuan Cheng influence Mu Ze?
There may be a little impact, but it is definitely not big, or even negligible.

Mu Ze has gradually formed his own style, an action style different from that of Li Longcheng Jie, and his position in the circle has been stabilized.

Yuan Cheng became angry, and he couldn't grab Mu Ze's resources.

The reason why Mu Chen made "Ip Man" and praised Yuan Cheng was not only because he had a good relationship with Yuan Hong, but also because Mu Ze no longer needed to act in these films.

What's more, Mu Ze's role in "Ip Man" may be easy for many movie fans to watch.

Yuan Cheng is hot, but there is still a long way to go before Mu Ze.

With Mu Chen and Chenxi Film and Television present, it is impossible for Yuan Cheng to pose a threat to Mu Ze.

September is undoubtedly a period for "Ip Man".

Of course, the film became popular, and it also set off a Wing Chun craze.

This month, Mu Chen is busy with the post-production and preparations for "East and West".

On September 2, Friday, "Infernal Affairs [-]" will be released.

"Infernal Affairs" is the biggest winner of the Spring Festival file. Now that the sequel is released after a few months, it is inevitable that people will criticize it, saying it is a money-making work.

Even the sequel, it is hard to escape the suspicion of making money, not to mention that the sequel will be released after a few months.

However, the influence of "Infernal Affairs" is still there, and the ending left suspense again. The sequel was released, which naturally attracted the favor of many "Infernal Affairs fans".

It's just that they were disappointed that this sequel is not a follow-up, but a predecessor.

Even so, the reputation of this film is not lower than the first one.Even, it is considered by many media and film critics as a benchmark for sequel movies.

How many sequels in the world can break out of the framework of the first episode and have a more ambitious mind?

"Infernal Affairs" is a classic that reflects human nature, and "Infernal Affairs 2" is an epic about gangsters.In a small place like Xiangjiang, the structure of "Infernal Affairs 2" almost made the heart of the entire Xiangjiang movie agitated during the historical change between great eras.

"Infernal Affairs 2" is also popular, and it has a good reputation and box office.

The two young actors Gu Feng and Yu Ting who starred in Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren naturally rose and their popularity soared.

Yu Ting was undoubtedly lucky, if Xie Zhen hadn't been "playing big" and was replaced by Mu Chen, how could he have such an opportunity.

Now, he has become one of the most promising and hottest young actors in Xiangjiang, but Xie Zhen has disappeared.

There are rumors in the circle, it is said that the director of Mu Chen is the boss Chu Yuhua and has an unusual relationship.

Xie Zhen offended Mu Chen and was hidden by Yinglian Film and Television.

The incident of Xie Zhen undoubtedly made many actors in the circle vigilant.

After "Infernal Affairs 2" was released, "Ip Man" was released within two days, and the final box office exceeded [-] million, which is very gratifying.And this film was released in Southeast Asia and other regions, and the box office was also very good.

Much more than expected at the time of release.

"Do you think "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs 2" will be rivals in the Golden Dragon Awards?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and smiled.

Both films have excellent reputation and have the potential to compete for the Golden Dragon Award.

"Who knows!" Mu Chen shook his head and said.

"When is "East and West" going to start?" Chen Fuhai asked.

""Wolf Warrior 2" still has a little bit in the later stage, let's finish it first, it will take half a month at most." Mu Chen said immediately.

"I inquired about it, and the competition for the Spring Festival this year is not as big as usual." Chen Fuhai said.

Mu Chen looked over and waited for his next words.

"Mountains and Seas by Xtreme Films and "Zhao Shi" by Guangzheng Films will both be released during the Spring Festival this year." Chen Fuhai said.

Be it Extreme Films or Guangzheng Films, they are all domestic first-tier film and television companies.

"Mountains and Seas" is a super-large production with an investment of over [-] million by Xtreme Films. It is a magical film created based on the ancient book "Shan Hai Jing".

This film that broke investment records is undoubtedly the biggest, and the cast is also extremely amazing.

Now there is still a long way to go before the Spring Festival stalls, but the publicity has already spread, and news comes out from time to time.

One can imagine how amazing the publicity will be around the Spring Festival.

The other "Zhao Family" tells the story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The investment is not as high as "Mountain and Sea Region", but it is as high as [-] million.

The gimmick of this film is quite similar to the magical epic "Mountain and Sea".

War Epic!

They are all epic movies, and the investment is so big, the publicity will naturally be overwhelming.

Of course, whether it can afford the "epic level" will not be known until the film is released.

Chen Fuhai is very optimistic about "East Makes West", but facing these two films, it is inevitable that he lacks confidence.

It is estimated that in the face of these two films, few people are confident.

Chen Fuhai was also somewhat fortunate.

It is undoubtedly correct that "Wolf Warrior 2" is not scheduled for the Spring Festival.It's not that I'm afraid of those two films, there's really no need to fight them to the death.

It is no secret in the circle that Xtreme Films and Guangzheng Films are in a deadlock.

The blockbuster films of the two film and television companies are often released at the same time.

This time you win, next time I win.

However, in Chen Fuhai's view, the two of them did not win.

Released at the same time, the box office of each other will undoubtedly be affected.

Why bother?
"We need a comedy for the Spring Festival." Mu Chen said with a smile.

No matter how popular those two films were, Mu Chen remained confident.

Chen Fuhai nodded thoughtfully.

The audience for comedy films is undoubtedly huge, and it is also suitable for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

What's more, "East Makes West" is not without competitiveness.

Perhaps, it is not as meticulously crafted as those two films, but the cast and topicality are no worse than those two films.

The plan remains.

"Infernal Affairs 2" won the single-day box office champion consecutively, and will surely become the biggest winner of the National Day file.

However, I don't know if it's because of the cast and the schedule, it seems a little difficult for this film to reach the height of the first film's box office.

Of course, even if it can't be achieved, the difference won't be too big. This film brings much more profit to Chenxi Film and Television than "Ip Man".

Half a month later, the post-production of "Wolf Warrior 2" was completed.

"Infernal Affairs 2" has also lost its position as the single-day box office champion, but it is still firmly in the top three, and its box office has also exceeded one billion at this time.

However, new films continue to be released, and the schedule of "Infernal Affairs 2" is also decreasing.

As previously estimated, it is impossible to exceed the box office of the first film.

So, it also far exceeded expectations.

The filming of "East and West" is about to start!
Mu Chen's new movie was about to start shooting, and when the news came out, many people were taken aback.

This new film is too sudden.

Moreover, what surprised many people was that Mu Chen's new film launch was no longer as low-key as before, but held a grand launch conference.

Mu Ze's abnormal behavior naturally attracted countless media reporters.

But when those media reporters came to the scene, they were shocked.

""East and West" launch conference!"

The name of Mu Chen's new film is "East and West"?
The title is a bit weird!

However, seeing the lineup of Dean Yan on the stage, everyone's eyes widened.

Mu Ze, Li Ruoxi, Li Yunyi, Su Xiaowan, Miao Xun, Jiang Qin, Zhao Jin.
These are all popular stars!

This cast is amazing!
All-star lineup!

What is Mu Chen doing?Get ready for a big move.

But such a big move, why didn't even a little wind leak it before?

"Wolf Warrior 2" has an investment of more than [-] million yuan, and the cast is also hard to compare with.

I am afraid that even "Mountain and Sea Region" cannot compare with this cast.

Chenxi Film and Television has abundant funds, and no one doubts Mu Chen's ability to make a big-budget movie.

But, this is too sudden!

"Welcome everyone to the launch conference of "East and West"." Mu Chen looked at the audience, saw countless reporters raising their hands, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there will be plenty of time for questions later."

""East into West" is a work written by me, and it will also be directed by me. As for the actors, you have already seen it. Let us first ask them to say a few words and introduce the roles they play."

"I played Ouyang Feng in "East and West"." Sitting next to Mu Chen, Mu Ze spoke first.

"I will play the third princess." Li Ruoxi, who was on the other side of Mu Chen, spoke immediately.

"I play Huang Yaoshi."

"I will play Prince Duan."

"I play Hong Qi."

"I play Zhou Botong."

Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qi
These names are undoubtedly familiar to media reporters.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" came to mind.

Is this "East and West" the movie version of "Sculpture of the Gods" and "Shooting the Condors"?
Or is it the last part of "The Condor Shooting Trilogy"?
"The Condor Shooting Trilogy" is not a groundless rumor, but from the mouth of Xu Lin, the director of "Shooting the Condors" and "The Condor".

However, what is Jiang Qin doing as Zhou Botong?
Jiang Qin's popularity is not low now. After "Bright Sword", she starred in "Shooting the Condor" Mu Nianci. Not long ago, the heroine of "Ip Man" made her popular even more.

Such a beautiful woman actually played the role of an old urchin?
No kidding!
Ruo Duo's doubts arose in the minds of the media reporters.

"Director Mu, may I ask if this "East and West" is the last part of the 'Shooting the Condors' trilogy?" A reporter asked.

"no!"

Mu Chen said bluntly.

No?

and then?
Then Mu Chen didn't say anything more.

Is this your appetizing one?
"Then is this movie the movie version of "Sculpture of God" and "Sculpture of God"?" another reporter asked.

"No! There is neither Guo Jing nor Yang Guo in "East and West"." Mu Chen continued.

"Is that the prequel of "Shooting the Condors"?"

A reporter then said.

"Well, how should I put it?" Mu Chen chuckled, and said, "The story of the characters in "East and West" tells the stories of the characters when they were young. It's an interesting story."

"Director Mu, what is your budget for this movie?"

a reporter asked.

With such a cast, the salary alone is an astonishing figure.

Of course, most of these actors are actors from Chenxi Film and Television, but even if they are greatly discounted, there are quite a few.

What's more, with such a cast, is it possible to make a low-cost film?

For Mu Chen's filming, the actor's salary accounted for a very small percentage.

This is his habit, and everyone does not think this film will break it.

"Budget? Just spend as much as you want." Mu Chen thought for a while and said.

In fact, the film had a budget.

It's just that every time Mu Chen makes a film, he exceeds the budget by a lot.Budget or not, it doesn't really mean much to him.

When everyone heard it, they were a little stunned.

What is it called?Rich and powerful!
It doesn't matter how much you spend, in other words, the investment in this movie is unlimited.

I'm afraid that in the entire film and television industry, no matter domestic or foreign, only Mu Chen can do this, dare to do it?

Will the producer cry when encountering such a director?
Seems unnecessary to cry.

Mu Chen is both the director and the boss!
Each of his works is his own investment.Even if it is cooperation with other film and television companies, it still dominates.

So regardless of cost, are you not afraid of investing too much and losing money?
"Director Mu, when will the sequel of "Wolf Warrior" be released? Will it be during the Spring Festival? Can its box office surpass that of the sequel of "Infernal Affairs"?"

"Wolf Warrior 2" has not been released yet, Mu Chen can't wait to shoot this film, which naturally makes people curious.

This movie seems rushed.

Many people have a vague feeling that "Wolf Warrior 2" doesn't seem to be planning to fight during the Spring Festival.

They thought it would be ahead, but they didn't think it would be delayed.

"Is it appropriate for us to talk about "Wolf Warrior 2" at the launch conference of "East Becomes West"?" Mu Chen smiled, "I can answer this question for you, but let's stop here!"

""Wolf Warrior 2" is expected to meet with you next summer. As for whether it can surpass the box office of the sequel of "Infernal Affairs", it depends on whether the fans will give face. However, I am very confident in the quality of "Wolf Warrior 2"."

Confidence in quality?
When these words reached the media reporters, they naturally became confident in the box office.

Mu Chen is confident that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" will surpass that of "Infernal Affairs 2".

"Director Mu, is "East and West" a martial arts film? With such a strong cast, the investment must be quite large. How can you guarantee that you can earn back the cost? After all, the martial arts film market doesn't seem to be very good nowadays."

"My film never considers whether I can earn back the cost, but how much I can earn." Mu Chen said with a smile, "I am very confident in this film. Strictly speaking, this film is not a martial arts film, but a comedy film. Well, A very entertaining comedy."

If this film is considered a martial arts film, it is simply a blasphemy to martial arts films.

The battle between Huang Yaoshi and Prince Duan's magical skills with one finger is clearly a gunfight, and it can't be more clear to the audience how the new martial arts movie is made.

As for the funny clips such as "Love and Love" and "Frowning Eyes and Swords", they are a mockery of the entire new martial arts movie.

The old naughty boy practiced evil swordsmanship and still had sex with his senior brother, the sissy Nandi finally ascended to heaven and became Jigong, and the Nine Yin Scriptures were originally engraved on the toilet. A lot of jokes like this are very funny.

This movie is not so much a martial arts movie as it is a comedy that mocks martial arts movies.

Besides Mu Chen, there were many popular stars at the opening press conference of "East and West". Naturally, they were asked by media reporters.

Perhaps because Mu Chen is the screenwriter and director, he has relatively more problems.

Of course, this has something to do with Mu Chen's topicality.

The launch conference was undoubtedly extremely successful.

Numerous media have reported on this, but the focus is different.

And this matter also caused a great heated discussion on the Internet.
