my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 201 A Journey That Said to Go
The Golden Dragon Awards ceremony is over, but the impact is far from over.

"Infernal Affairs 2" returned empty-handed, which made many people regret.

However, if a sequel can be nominated for the Ruodo Golden Dragon Award, it is considered excellent.Although he didn't win an award, whether it's netizens or the media, there is no tendency to ridicule this.

It's just a pity that many people who like this movie feel sorry.

Of course, the topic of "Infernal Affairs 2" returning empty-handed is not very strong.

The strongest topic is not that Liu Guohua won this year's Golden Dragon Award Best Actor with "Infernal Affairs", and finally got his wish.But Mu Chen missed the best director again.

The major media also reported on it at great length.

There were even media reports that Mu Chen missed the best director cold face and refused to go on stage to receive the "Best Picture" award.

He used this to express his dissatisfaction with the jury.

The upset of the best director naturally caused many netizens to question the Golden Dragon Award.

Of course, this question comes every year.

It's just that this year's situation is much more serious, especially for Mu Chen's fans, it's hard to accept.

Mu Chen nominated consecutively, but failed again and again.

This was too cruel for Mu Chen.

However, in the eyes of many people, it may be "upset", but it does not mean that Wang Ke is not qualified to win the best director, but the reputation of "Mountain and River" is much worse than that of "Infernal Affairs".

The fairness of the Golden Dragon Awards will not be affected by the dissatisfaction of Mu Chen's fans.

Does Mu Chen have the ability to win the best director?
Apparently there was, it was just some bad luck.

Yes, bad luck.

In the eyes of many netizens, it's not that Mu Chen has no strength, but just no luck.

If there is no strength, how can it be possible to nominate the best director every year?
Li Ruoxi didn't offer much comfort, but Mu Chen's mood recovered, and he was no longer depressed.

The next day, Mu Chen went to the company as if nothing happened.

He did not accept interviews with reporters squatting outside the company.

What those people will ask, you can guess with your ass.

Mu Chen was not that interested.

Those who should answer and are willing to answer have already answered after the awards ceremony ended yesterday.

Those reporters didn't interview Mu Chen, so they were naturally unwilling, and they still squatted outside Chenxi Film and Television.

I didn't interview Mu Chen, so I can interview other people!

Detours can also get what you want.

What's more, the popularity of many contracted artists of Chenxi Film and Television is not low.

However, what surprised them was that Mu Ze and the others did not wait, but saw Li Long instead.

International superstar Li Long appeared in Chenxi Film and Television!

Could it be that Mu Chen will cooperate with Li Long in his next film?

It was definitely a surprise.

The reporter tried to stop Li Long, but was stopped by his bodyguards, and the interview was unsuccessful.

"Mr. Li, please sit down!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "You read the script first, and if you think it's passable, then we'll talk about the follow-up."

"Director Mu was joking," Li Long said.

Mu Chen is young, but his script uses the words "passable", which is obviously a polite word.

He didn't get the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, but no one will question his directing ability.

As for his screenwriting ability, no one will doubt it.

He has won the Golden Phoenix Award and the Golden Dragon Award for Best Screenplay.

Li Long did not deny Mu Chen's screenwriting ability, but he still picked up the script and read it.

A good script is not necessarily suitable for him.

For actors, a script that suits them is a really good script, especially for an actor like Li Long who has extremely distinctive characteristics.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
The title of the film is written on the first page of the script.

When Li Long saw it, he was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at it quietly.

really!

Seeing the title of the film, Li Long guessed it was a martial arts film.

Mu Chen actually invited him to act in a martial arts movie?

This was somewhat beyond Li Long's expectations.

However, Li Long suppressed the doubts in his heart and read it quietly.

From this point of view, it has been a long time.

He sees very slowly.

After reading it again, Li Long didn't open his mouth, and couldn't help turning over again.

This time, he looked through it in a targeted manner.

All he watched was Li Mubai's scenes.

Mu Chen invited him to act in this movie, so he could naturally see which role he would play.

Li Mubai is not an absolute protagonist, or in other words, there is no absolute protagonist in this play, nor is there any obvious emotional tendency.This is very different from his previous martial arts films.

And it was this difference that moved Li Long's heart.

Li Long has been in the industry for so many years and has shot countless films, among which martial arts films are undoubtedly the ones he has shot the most.

He himself became famous in martial arts movies.

He has a special feeling for martial arts films, and also has a very high appreciation.

It has been a long time since he took on a martial arts film.

It's not that after the slump in the martial arts film market, he couldn't get such a show, but that there has never been a martial arts film that can make his heart beat.

This film, or the role of Li Mubai moved his heart.

Li Mubai has experienced the vicissitudes of life, and knows that Jianghu is not a place to escape from the world, and he can't give up his sword if he wants to, but Yujiaolong is a newborn calf, and he regards Jianghu as a place to escape from reality and enjoy revenge. In the end, I did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. The tragedy seems to imply: "obeying the rules of the world" is not a kind of banality, but a kind of wisdom.

The martial arts perspective of this play is not chivalrous, but Jianghu. His intention is to describe, display, and analyze Jianghu as a special social form, and it becomes inevitable to adopt a neutral narrative perspective.

And this kind of neutrality makes the whole play appear calmer. Even in the final tragic ending, there is not too much emotional catharsis. The audience may feel that it is not easy to get into the play, but this perspective allows us to avoid "not knowing Lushan". The embarrassment of "true face, only because of being in this mountain" provides convenience for seeing the deep meaning behind the story.

This is not a movie to please the audience blindly.

This also surprised Li Long.

How could Mu Chen make such a film?

After all, he is the owner of a film and television company, and Li Long felt that the films he shot would obviously be more market-oriented.

This is undoubtedly true of his previous works, especially the "East and West".

"I'll accept this play!" Li Long looked at Mu Chen and said.

"Then we have a happy cooperation." Mu Chen said with a smile.

Mu Chen cooperates with any actor, he only talks about the play, not about other things.As for the salary, it's all discussed by other people.

For a wrist like Li Long, Chen Fuhai basically came forward in person.

"Why, haven't we talked yet?"

Two days later, when Mu Chen saw Chen Fuhai's appearance, he asked curiously.

"The contract has been signed." Chen Fuhai said, "His manager is not ordinary."

"If he wasn't great, Li Long wouldn't have achieved what he is today." Mu Chen nodded.

A good agent is undoubtedly crucial to a star artist.

Li Long went international, and his agent played a great role.

Many people in the circle know this.

It was just heard before, but this time Chen Fuhai experienced it himself.

"900 million US dollars, is it really worth it?" Chen Fuhai said.

The $900 million remuneration was obviously offered by Li Long as a friendly price.

Chen Fuhai is not saying that Li Long is not worth the price, but is it necessary to invite Li Long to star in Mu Chen's martial arts film?

Chenxi Film and Television has more than one action actor.

Mu Ze may have his own action style and is not suitable for Li Mubai, but Miao Xun is also not good?

Chen Fuhai naturally knew that Mu Chen wanted to go international with this film.

However, there are still some people who disagree with the use of this martial arts film.

He is not optimistic about the market for this martial arts film.

Not just the international market, but also the domestic market.

"I'll prove he's worth it!" Mu Chen smiled and said, "You're here just in time, take a look at this script. It's written for Zhang Gang. The investment in this drama is not small."

"Jurassic Park"?
Chen Fuhai glanced at Mu Chen with some doubts, and then carefully read the script.

Just at the beginning, Chen Fuhai was very surprised.

Dinosaur resurrection?

This idea is undoubtedly absolutely perfect.

"Are you willing to give this script to Zhang Gang?"

After a long time, after reading the script, Chen Fuhai asked Mu Chen incomprehensibly.

In his opinion, this script is undoubtedly the best for Mu Chen to go international.

He is very optimistic about the performance of the film in the international market.

"What is there to be reluctant about?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

Let's not mention the reputation of "Jurassic Park", but the box office of this film is very amazing.Needless to say, the influence of the original version.

This is a film that could be made into a series.

Before "Titanic", this film has dominated the global box office charts.

"If the filming is done, it may be able to sweep the global box office." Chen Fuhai said.

"You like this movie very much?" Mu Chen said with a smile, "I like it too. However, I don't have much interest in this kind of movie."

When Chen Fuhai heard this, he opened his mouth, and finally shook his head and smiled wryly.

Mu Chen was not interested, Zhang Gang seemed to be a good choice.

Chen Fuhai wanted to persuade Mu Chen to give up "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and direct "Jurassic Park", but in the end he didn't say so.

He knew it was useless to speak out.

"You want to cooperate with Li Long in your next play?"

Zhang Gang arrived as scheduled, and immediately asked about Mu Chen.

Li Longlai's Chenxi Film and Television was photographed by reporters squatting outside, which caused quite a bit of discussion.

After all, Mu Chen's loss of the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director is now a hot topic.

This matter has attracted the attention of many movie fans, but the people in the circle are most concerned.

Mu Chen didn't have the best director, but every one of his films was popular, and the trend of his new film naturally touched the hearts of many people in the circle.

When Zhang Gang heard the news, Mu Chen was not surprised.

"That's right!" Mu Chen nodded and said, "Director Zhang, let's see if he's interested in the script first!"

"Okay." Zhang Gang said.

This turned out to be a science fiction script!

The blood of ancient mosquitoes trapped in amber is used to extract the genetic information of dinosaurs, and the information is used to breed dinosaurs.

Then a park with "dinosaur" as the main character was built.

The park then spiraled out of control.

All the dinosaurs escaped from the control area, and people fled one after another, but they couldn't escape the claws of the dinosaurs.Dinosaurs killed each other, and people died countless times. In the end, only four people survived.

There is an air of terror over the island.

Zhang Gang can naturally see the extraordinaryness of this script.

It never occurred to him that Mu Chen himself would not shoot such an excellent script.

So what about the script he and Li Long collaborated on?
However, he didn't have the time to think about the film Mu Chen was going to make, his mind was full of "dinosaurs".

"Really shoot for me?"

Zhang Gang calmed down, and then asked with some uncertainty.

A good script can be met but not sought.

What's more, this good script is still written by a director.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded.

"That's great." Zhang Gang said excitedly, and calmed down after a while, and said, "I'll study the script first, and then study the dinosaurs, and then we'll discuss the movie, shall we?"

"Okay." Mu Chen nodded.

Zhang Gang has never studied the script, and probably doesn't know much about "dinosaurs".

It's pointless to discuss this movie at this time.

Movies can't be discussed now, but how to cooperate is possible.

However, as for how to cooperate, that's not Mu Chen's business.

Mu Chen didn't care how Chen Fuhai talked to Zhang Gang.No matter how they cooperate, Chenxi Film and Television will take the lead.

It's not known how long it will take for Zhang Gang to study scripts and dinosaurs, but "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still has to wait for Li Long's schedule.

Mu Chen suddenly became idle.

"Brother Chao, I'm sorry! Something happened a few days ago and I couldn't get away. I just came today." Mu Chen said to Li Chao.

Before, I promised to come to him as a cameo in a movie, so naturally I couldn't break my promise.

"Thank you!" Li Chao said with a smile.

"Where's Sister Xie Li?" Li Ruoxi asked with a smile, "Isn't she the heroine of this movie?"

In this film, Li Chao and his wife act as the male and female protagonists.

Well, in the words of Li Chao, save the budget.

In the first film, Li Chao didn't dare to play big investment, and many things were done to the extreme.

"There!" Li Chao smiled, pointing to an actress walking towards them not far away.

Mu Chen and the others turned their heads to look over, and were immediately dumbfounded.

"Thank you, Miss Xie Li?" Li Ruoxi looked at Li Chao nervously and said, "Is it too late for me to repent now?"

Shelly was wearing makeup at this time, a very exaggerated makeup.

It was so exaggerated that neither Mu Chen nor Li Ruoxi recognized it.

That makeup was insanely ugly and appalling.

Li Ruoxi was startled by that makeup.

She was afraid that she would come to play a guest role, so Li Chao gave her such a make-up again.

Li Ruoxi couldn't say whether she would like this kind of makeup, but she definitely resisted it.

What woman doesn't love beauty?
If Li Chao offered her such a makeup, Li Ruoxi might not refuse.But it would be best if not.

"Don't worry, if he comes with such a make-up with you, wouldn't he be digging his own grave, who would dare to comeo in his movies in the future?" Seeing Mu Chen and Mu Chen, Xie Li walked over and said with a smile.

Her smile made her makeup look even more ugly.

The corner of Mu Chen's mouth twitched, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

"Sister Xie Li," Mu Chen said and gave Xie Li a thumbs up.

Willing to be such an actress is undoubtedly dedicated.

Of course, some are unwilling but have to turn into this, but if a wrist like Xie Li refuses, ordinary directors can't do anything with her, and Li Chao can't do anything with her.

"Sister Xie Li, after the filming is over, go home and ask brother Chao to kneel on the washboard." Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

"It's all about art."

Seeing Xie Li looking over with malicious intent, Li Chao trembled in fright under that makeup, then looked up like a hero who died generously, and said.

"Art ass!" Shelly said contemptuously, "Is there any shadow of art in your film?"

"You don't understand." Li Chao said, but his confidence was a little lacking.

"As long as you understand." Shelly said with a curled lip.

The two were bickering in a fancy way, while Mu Chen and the two watched happily from the sidelines.

Li Chao's film is a somewhat spoofed comedy, and naturally, as Xie Li said, it's not a piece of art.

Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi only have one scene, playing a couple who show their affection in front of the protagonist.

There are not many shots, and it is not difficult to shoot, and there is no waste of time before and after.

"There's no need for this." Mu Chen pushed away the red envelope that Li Chao handed over.

The red envelope was packed in a file bag, and I took a quick look at it, at least a hundred thousand.

"Too far-fetched." Li Ruoxi also said.

"I can't let you run for nothing, and pay for the fuel, right?" Li Chao said, "Don't think it's too little."

One hundred thousand, maybe a million, may not be able to invite Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi to comeo.

Mu Chen and the others came here not for the money, but purely because of their relationship with Li Chao.

However, if Li Chaoruo didn't even express anything, he was somewhat embarrassed.

"Next time you have a chance, you and your wife will come to my video for a cameo." Mu Chen said, "At that time, if you say it may not be necessary, you will have to pay for the plane ticket!"

Li Chao's crew was in the film and television city near Yanjing, and Mu Chen and the two drove here.

"Okay, if I persist, I will look hypocritical." Li Chao said with a smile.

Favors are more important than money.

After receiving the money, the favor will fade away.

Sometimes, favor is an important factor in promoting mutual relationship.

What's more, that money may be a lot for ordinary people, but it is just a small amount of money for them.

There is no need to dilute the relationship with each other for this small amount of money.

"Are you busy recently?"

On the way back, Mu Chen casually asked about Li Ruoxi.

"What's busy?" Li Ruoxi said, "I left the schedule for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but I don't want to go to the second half of the year."

"Then how about we go on a trip?" Mu Chen asked suddenly.

"Travel?" Li Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Where are you going?"

She was moved.

The two have been together for so many years, but they have never traveled together.

"Where do you want to go?" Mu Chen said.

"Not even prepared." Li Ruoxi said.

I haven't even thought about where to go, what can I prepare?
This is just a temporary idea.

"If life doesn't even include an instant trip, it is undoubtedly incomplete." Mu Chen said with a smile, "The world is so big, we have to go and see."

"Then let's go abroad. At home, there will inevitably be some inconvenience." Li Ruoxi said.

"Okay!" Mu Chen nodded and said.

The popularity of the two is so high, if they are traveling in the country, if they are recognized, it is very likely that they will be unable to move an inch.

What's the point of traveling if you're always on the lookout for people around you to recognize you?

Abroad, Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi naturally did not have this worry.

They are not well-known abroad nowadays.
