my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 196

What kind of movie is "East Becomes West"?

Countless movie fans are curious.

Especially for Jiang Qin to play Zhou Botong, I am looking forward to it.

The female version of the old urchin?
Of course, Jiang Qin's popularity is not the highest among the cast, and the degree of topicality is naturally not the strongest.

What is the most handsome Huang Yaoshi.

The most handsome Ouyang Feng, the most handsome Prince Duan
The strongest cast.

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, but Mu Chen ignored it and devoted himself to the filming of the film.

This is a joyful scene. The atmosphere may be harmonious during filming, but it is not very smooth.

Many actors couldn't help laughing when they patted themselves.

Huang Yaoshi is practicing sword with Qi Gong's cousin.

Li Yunyi: "Hey, Junior Sister! Be careful!"

Su Xiaowan: "Senior brother! It's so tiring to practice this set of 'Brown Eyes and Swords'! It's better not to practice!"

Li Yunyi: "It's really frustrating to have to flirt with every stab."

Su Xiaowan: "Yes."

Li Yunyi: "Junior Sister, why don't we practice 'Love and Love Knife' instead?"

Su Xiaowan: "'Affectionate knife'."

Li Yunyi: "You have to figure it out, I was the one who struggled so hard that day"

"Card!"

"puff!"

Just as Mu Chen yelled, Li Yunyi and Su Xiaowan couldn't help laughing, and so did the people next to them.

"Start again." Mu Chen said.

They didn't smile just now, but there was a hint of a smile on their faces.

What's more, their expressions were still somewhat restrained, and they didn't let go.

Continuing with the filming, Su Xiaowan and Li Yunyi mulled over for a while, controlled their emotions, and at the same time relaxed a little according to Mu Chen's request.

This time, pass!
Especially Su Xiaowan, whose demeanor and tone gave people a kind of surprise.

Then, the three princesses played by Li Ruoxi appeared on the stage.

In the crew of "East and West", the number of times of laughing scenes is very common.

Not just Li Yunyi and Su Xiaowan, almost everyone laughs sometimes.

This is a magical film.

It is not uncommon for actors to laugh.

But the whole crew is like this, so it's rare to see.

Mu Chen was a little helpless, but he didn't lose his temper.

When promoting, cutting out these NG pictures and using them as promotional materials will also have a miraculous effect.

Too many NGs will delay shooting and increase the budget.

This is nothing.

The crew had a happy atmosphere, and almost all the actors became more relaxed as the filming progressed.

Especially Jiang Qin who plays Zhou Botong.

Of course, the scene where Mu Ze showed Su Xiaowan his soul-wrenching eyes with a bruised nose and swollen face and a sausage mouth was the one that got the most NGs, and he NGed a dozen times.

Although NG is a common thing, but the shooting is still very smooth.

The film itself is not too difficult, and there are not many scenes, so it is naturally much faster to shoot.

In less than a month and a half, "East and West" was completed.

Start up in mid-October and finish before New Year's Day.

This speed is undoubtedly extremely fast.

After finishing, immediately enter the post-production.

"Infernal Affairs 2" has already been drawn, and the box office is much lower than the first one, but it is as high as 13 billion.

I don't know how much this box office surpassed the original version.

The cumulative domestic box office of the two films almost won 30 billion.Counting foreign box office and copyright fees, Chenxi Film and Television has made more than one billion profits from this film.

For this reason, Mu Chen has an urge to write all the classic Hong Kong movies in his mind.

Those are not memories, they are money.

After New Year's Day, the upcoming films in the Spring Festival file also began to hype.

"East and West" has only started post-production, but the publicity has already started.

Mu Chen didn't care about the promotion.

He was busy with post-production, as well as recording the songs in the film.

Among the songs in the original version, the most impressive one is not "Who is the Great Hero", but the song "I LOVE You".

When Hong Qi sang this song, it was definitely a highlight in the film.

And these songs were all sung by Mu Chen.

Of course, there are many classic funny scenes in the whole film, and the jokes are not embarrassing. It is not an exaggeration to say that the belly hurts once watching it.

And the part where Ouyang Feng kills Hong Qi is the funniest in Mu Chen's opinion.

Ouyang Feng wanted to kill Hong Qi wholeheartedly, of course this was also ordered by Hong Qi, but he never succeeded.

It was caused by Hong Qi's fight back, but Ouyang Feng's plot behind him also failed.

When Hong Qi was unprepared, not only did he not hurt Hong Qi, but he hit himself on the wrong side, which is called lifting a rock and hitting himself in the foot.

Harmful heart is not allowed.

The post-production is very fast. This year's New Year's Eve is on January 24, and the post-production in less than half a month is more than enough.

Mu Chen included cutting, soundtrack and so on.

He has the original version as a reference, so the post-production is naturally much simpler and faster.

The fighting momentum of the Spring Festival file has already begun before the release.

Propaganda is the beginning of the fight.

The effect of publicity on a film is immeasurable.

Among them, from the point of view of momentum, "Mountain and Sea Region" and "Zhao Family" are almost the same, followed by Mu Chen's "East Makes West".

Mu Chen didn't compete with these two films with "Wolf Warrior 2", but caught up with a "nondescript" film like "Wolf Warrior [-]", which confused many people.

You said Mu Chen made money, right?It seems that with the momentum of the two films "Mountain Sea Territory" and "Zhao Family", this kind of film borrowing the popularity of TV dramas and using an all-star cast to be released under such circumstances seems to be a little bit worth the candle.

how so?

Many people speculated, and some even thought that Mu Chen was so inflated that he thought that he could compete with Xu Wen and Chen Mou's meticulously crafted films by making just one film.

No one would regard Mu Chen's "East and West" as the rival of "Mountain and Sea Region" and "Zhao Shi".

"Director Xu, among the films released during the Spring Festival, which film do you think is the most threatening to "Mountain and Sea Region"?"

Xu Wen, the director of "Mountains and Seas", is one of the first-line directors in China and one of the directors with great box office appeal.

Otherwise, he would not be able to attract more than 4 million investment in "Mountain and Sea".

"Of course it's "Zhao Shi" by Director Chen." Xu Wen said with a smile.

The director of "Zhao Shi" is Chen Mouzhi, Xu Wen had a lot of private conversations with him, but it was not bad.

In fact, the two of them don't want each other's movies to fight each other during the Spring Festival, but they can't control it.

"What about Mu Chen's "East and West"?" The reporter asked randomly.

"Although Mu Chen is young, he is definitely an excellent director." Xu Wen said, "However, his "East and West" is too rushed. If "Wolf Warrior 2" might still be a little threatening."

Too fast, which means ignoring quality over speed.

The underlying meaning is: this movie can't do it!

Why is this so?
Mu Chen was still too young, a little less stable, and was dazzled by his previous success.

To pose a threat to his "Mountains and Seas", it must be a film that strives for excellence.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is a film that strives for perfection, but for "Mountain and Sea Region", it is only a little threatening.

The word "some" is the key point, and it is also a kind of politeness.

Well, this is the interpretation of the media and netizens.

Xu Wen didn't think Mu Chen's "East Makes West" was a threat, and Chen Mouzhi naturally thought so too.

The only opponents of the two of them are each other, as for Mu Chen, it was a bit close this time.

Of course, whether it is Chen Mouzhi or Xu Wen, although they are not optimistic about Mu Chen's "East Makes West", they are full of praise for Mu Chen.

There is no doubt about the strength of Mu Chen's director. Even if they are famous directors, they can't step on it, let alone step on it.

They don't need to step on Mu Chen to create topics and promote the movie.

They don't have to, and neither do their films.

However, they were not optimistic about Mu Chen's "East and West", but they still made Mu Chen's fans unhappy.

This has nothing to do with the media's deliberate instigation.

"I don't seem to be very optimistic about your "East and West"!" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and said, "In terms of filming, it's hard to compare with those two films."

"How much?" Mu Chen asked curiously.

Mu Chen was not surprised that there were fewer films scheduled than those two films.

Who doesn't matter?

"18%!" Chen Fuhai said.

"A lot." Mu Chen nodded and said, "What about the two movies?"

""Mountain and Sea" is about 27%, and "Zhao Shi" is about 25%." Chen Fuhai said, "In addition, "Big Brother" is nearly 15.00% of the film."

Mu Chen was not surprised that "Mountain and Sea Territory" and "Zhao Family" had more than [-]% of the film schedule.

"Big Brother" is a Hong Kong film, and the production company is Actis Union. It is quite good to be able to get 15.00% of the film.

Four films accounted for 80.00% of five films, which shows that most of the other films are cannon fodder.

However, this filming is the first day of filming, and the filming will definitely be adjusted later.

Mu Chen believes that after the release, the film schedule of "East and West" will not decrease but increase.

"After the screening, we will know who is the final winner." Mu Chen said with a smile.

The promotion of "East and West" may not be as good as those two films, but the momentum is not small.

What's more, with such a cast, the fan box office is an astonishing figure.

The first trailer of "East and West" was released, and Mu Chen posted it on Weibo, and then Li Ruoxi, Mu Ze and others also forwarded it.

These people have countless fans on Weibo, so the publicity effect is naturally good.

Subsequently, the trailer was logged on major video sites.

The trailer is not long, but it is also extremely attractive.

"The first form of the toad magic skill!"

"The flying dragon is in the sky!"

In the trailer, the first scene is the confrontation between Ouyang Feng and Hong Qi.

However, the image was gone in a flash.

Afterwards, Li Ruoxi who played the role of the third princess yelled "The sea is boundless", and Ouyang Feng and the imperial concubine looked around in fear.

Huang Yaoshi's supernatural powers of flicking fingers, Duan Wangye's one yang finger, and Zhou Botong's "Three Flowers Gathering the Top". Many actors disappeared in a flash, making people a little confused, but also aroused curiosity, and the desire to watch movies grew in their hearts. .

"Directed by Mu Chen!"

"On January 25, the first day of the Lunar New Year, it will be released with hilarity!"

The last two images of the trailer are just words.

The trailer is just one part of the movie promotion.

From the effect point of view, it seems not bad.

Some shooting tidbits released also caused a lot of repercussions.

In terms of publicity, "East and West" is naturally not as much money as the other two films, but the effect may not be bad.

Mu Ze and the others ran around with great momentum.

The star lineup is large, and the net is wide.

"Really put down the propaganda and go home for the New Year?" Mu Ze looked at Mu Chen, a little surprised.

"Aren't you still promoting in Jincheng on the 29th?" Mu Chen said, "We'll go back after the promotion is over. During the Spring Festival, aren't Li Yunyi and the others still promoting?"

While promoting the movie, it might not be promoting yourself.

Many people who are not well-known are so happy.

Mu Chen doesn't need to use movies to promote himself, and neither does Mu Ze.

Movies, however, need their publicity.

It's just that Mu Chen won't stay home for the New Year because of promoting the movie.

Family reunion, he thinks more important than money.

"Will Ruoxi go back with you?" Mu Ze then asked.

"Go back!" Mu Chen said.

When Mu Ze heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"You have the nerve to let Su Xiaowan go back to Yanjing alone?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

According to Jincheng's publicity, there are only four main creators of "East Makes West".

Mu Chen, Mu Ze, Li Ruoxi, and Su Xiaowan.

"Why do I feel that you deliberately arranged for Li Yunyi and the others to go to other cities for publicity?" Mu Ze looked at Mu Chen and said.

How could Mu Ze fail to hear what Mu Chen said before.

Did Mu Chen do it on purpose?
Yes!
"You're overthinking. When the time comes, whether to invite Su Xiaowan to your home for the New Year is up to you." Mu Chen smiled and said.

He seldom participates in the promotion of Mu Chen's videos, and even less so in roadshows.

He said that he was afraid that the gun would make the actor's limelight.

Those who are familiar with him know that he is troublesome.

However, he occasionally participated in some publicity before the film's release.

On 29, Mu Chen and his party came to Jincheng.

Many media and movie fans came.

Although Mu Chen seldom participates in publicity, he is not inexperienced, and with Li Ruoxi, Mu Ze and others, he can be regarded as capable.

After the promotion, it was very late to return to the hotel.

Mu Chen kicked Mu Ze, then gave him a look.

Confusion appeared on Mu Ze's face, and he opened his mouth to invite Su Xiaowan to his home for the New Year, but he still didn't say it.

Mu Chen hated iron for being weak, he felt that his brother was a waste.

"Sister Xiaowan, we're going home tomorrow. It's not interesting for you to go back to Yanjing alone. Why don't you go with us? Mu Chen's hometown has a nice view, so just treat yourself as a tourist."

Mu Chen pulled Li Ruoxi and gave her a look.Li Ruoxi understood, then pulled Su Xiaowan and said.

When Su Xiaowan heard this, she froze for a moment, then looked at Mu Ze, then at Mu Chen.

"It must be too late for you to go home for the New Year." Mu Chen said, "My home is not far from Jincheng."

"Yes!" Mu Ze said.

Just one word?

This is what you said!

Mu Chen was speechless again.Why did my elder brother become a bit of a language barrier when he got involved in this aspect?
Should I find him a psychiatrist?
Everyone could see the anticipation in Mu Ze's eyes. He obviously hoped that Su Xiaowan would go.

Is this still hard to say?

"No, are you sorry?" Su Xiaowan hesitated, perhaps a little reserved.

She was obviously a little moved too.

Mu Chen quietly kicked Mu Ze again.

Mu Ze opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

Mu Chen was completely speechless.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's such a happy decision." Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

Early the next morning, Mu Chen and the others drove back to their hometown.

Su Xiaowan had recorded "Longing for Life". Although the recording location was a little far away from Mu Chen's home, she still had a certain understanding of the surrounding environment. .

"Mom, we're back!"

When the car drove to the door, Mu Chen saw his mother coming out first, and then shouted with a smile.

"Ruoxi is coming too!"

Mu Chen's mother ignored Mu Chen, but turned her attention to Li Ruoxi.

When he saw Li Ruoxi, he immediately smiled, and when he saw Su Xiaowan, his eyes lit up.

"Who is this"

"My future sister-in-law, your future eldest daughter-in-law." Mu Chen said with a chuckle.

When Mu Chen's mother heard this, her smile became even brighter.

However, Su Xiaowan blushed a lot, glanced at Mu Ze, saw that his face was redder than her own, and said, "Auntie, my name is Su Xiaowan, just call me Xiaowan."

Mu Ze seemed to acquiesce, and Su Xiaowan didn't deny it either.

Li Ruoxi and Mu Chen looked at each other, then smiled.

Mu Ze brought his girlfriend back!
The whole family smiled more, but Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan showed embarrassment occasionally.

"Is this okay?" Li Ruoxi found a gap and asked Mu Chen in a low voice.

"How can it be done without strong medicine?" Mu Chen said, "Everyone can see that they are interested in each other, but I don't understand why they don't talk about it? It's not something difficult to talk about. It's been a few years? No In this way, I don’t know how many years they will delay.”

Li Ruoxi nodded and smiled, and said: "You said that they usually talk and laugh without any embarrassment, but when this matter is mentioned, each one is more inkblotted, why is that?"

"People's hearts are complicated!" Mu Chen thought for a while before choking out a sentence.

God knows why!

Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan don't know each other's feelings?
If this is the case, the two of them still can't get together, Mu Chen thinks don't worry about them.

"what?"

Li Ruoxi suddenly snorted, and then pointed not far away.

Not far away, Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan were facing each other, looking at each other.

Driven by curiosity, Mu Chen and the others quietly walked over, wanting to eavesdrop on what the two of them would say.

For a long while, the two of them didn't say a word, Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi looked anxious for them.

"I"

Mu Ze spoke first, and said a word, but there was nothing to say.

Su Xiaowan looked at Mu Ze.

It's just a matter of one sentence, you really said it!
Mu Chen couldn't complain.

Suddenly, Mu Ze hugged Su Xiaowan into his arms.

After Su Xiaowan was startled, she didn't break free.

The silence speaks!
Mu Chen didn't expect that his elder brother would be so straightforward.

"In a word, is it so difficult?" Su Xiaowan said leisurely.

"I, I'm afraid you will refuse." Mu Ze said.

"Xiaochen, what are you two doing there?"

Su Xiaowan was about to say something when suddenly a voice sounded, and Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan separated instantly, like frightened rabbits.

Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi smiled awkwardly.

This is being caught now!

"Mom, aren't you cooking?" Mu Chen said with a smile, then pulled Li Ruoxi and fled the scene.
